Time Text
And welcome.
This is Anthony Dream Johnson, president of the Manosphere, CEO of the Redman Group, founder of 21 Studios and the 21 Convention.
Here with episode 102 of the Redman Group live.
This episode is featuring a special guest and returning guest to the show, Andrew Cobert Tate, a former world champion kickboxer, fighter and athlete.
And this episode's titled Becoming a Millionaire Badass.
Not only is Andrew Tate someone I've met, interviewed before, you can check out the interview on 21 Studios and Redman Group.
We interviewed him in Warsaw, Poland.
But an amazing guy, kind of the Dan Blazarian, so to speak, of the Manosphere, I think.
And I call him the king of toxic masculinity.
He's an amazing entrepreneur, fighter, and does a lot of interesting things.
And I'm happy to bring him on the show once again.
Cobra Tate, welcome back to the show.
That was a very good introduction.
Thank you very much.
Hello.
Good to be here.
Yeah, I'm out here in Romania.
Even we are impacted by this virus.
I'm on the edge of the world and still we're all locked in our houses.
So, this is it.
This is the HQ out here in Bucharest.
Yeah, and I saw you in Sweden recently too, right?
You're in Stockholm.
Yeah, so when the whole lockdown thing happened, there was only two countries which refused to lock down.
One was Belarus, and one was Sweden.
So we wanted to go Belarus, because I have some friends in Minsk, and Belarus is Belarus, and we thought this is gonna be a crazy place, it'll be a fun party.
So we were gonna go there, but there was a 14-day quarantine, like when you arrive, you're supposed to be quarantined for 14 days, blah, blah, blah.
We were going to completely ignore that. By coincidence, someone had come to visit me in Romania where they have the same rule, and he was ignoring his. Then by coincidence, as we were discussing it, police knocked on the door to check he was home.
And then we thought, okay, so if we go Belarus and we get caught out of our hotel, we're basically going to jail. Bellarus is really hardcore too, right?
Like super authoritarian.
Yeah.
They don't play games, man.
Belarus, if you piss the Belarusians off, they don't care about you.
Yeah.
I heard about this in Poland.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, they're hardcore.
But their president's a G. Did you see what their president said about the whole virus?
No, but I'm not surprised.
What did he say?
Bro, you're not going to believe.
I'm going to send you the link.
He said, 50 milliliters of vodka a day unless you're driving or working.
That's all he said.
Drink your vodka and go to work and be a G.
Yeah, I heard him and the Hungarian president are super savage like that.
Yeah, they are.
They're really savage like that.
I mean, Hungary still has some ties to Europe, so there'll still be somebody you can call if you get arrested.
You get arrested in Belarus, who are you calling?
They'll be like, why are you there?
So Belarus was out of the question.
So then we thought, okay, well, Sweden ain't going to do shit.
So we went to Sweden and just ran around Stockholm acting crazy and partying with chicks.
Well, what's the deal with Sweden?
Because that was really surprising because they're a bunch of feminist fucking losers and shit, a lot of them.
I've heard a few stories, so...
The reason they're not locked down, I've heard, is that their government is so liberal and it's such a... The way it works, everything has to be done with majorities and there's so many different parties in government right now and they have this big split and whatever.
And the truth is, the government doesn't have the power to lock them down.
Like, everything has to go to mandate and they can't get the things through their own parliament.
No shit, damn.
But the people who do want to lock it down can't get it past the other parties.
They've got this big... What's the word I'm looking for?
Coalition.
They got this coalition government and blah, blah, blah.
That's one story I heard.
They have a king too, but he's like powerless, I think.
Yeah, some powerless king.
And then the other story is that, I mean, they're doing what England was originally going to stick to and do anyway.
A lot of countries considered this, but just pussied out once Trump locked down.
My theory on all of this is that it's anti-Trump.
When swine flu came and everyone was dying in America, no one gave a shit because the media liked Obama, so they didn't say anything bad.
If the president was somebody the media liked, and nobody said anything bad about the few deaths, then he wouldn't have locked down America, which means England wouldn't have locked down, all these other countries which followed suit wouldn't have locked down.
All of this is just because they came at Trump so hard, and every single death would be put on Trump's name.
They eventually goes, okay, I'll call your bluff and lock the whole country down, then I have no choice.
That's what all of this is, man.
It's all garbage.
When I was in Sweden, no one gave a shit.
I put it all on my Twitter.
You can watch the whole thread.
Everyone's out.
Kids are out.
Old people are out.
Cafes are full.
Bars are full.
Chicks are kissing Tristan.
Random chicks.
No one cared, bro.
No one cared one percent, you know?
And their death rate's no higher than anyone else's.
This is the thing.
This virus only kills people who No disrespect, but they're not strong enough to resist any kind of illness.
These are people who are all going to die anyway.
Yeah, this is how it is.
So there's a whole bunch of people who had it and it didn't even affect them.
I mean, my view of it, I was saying this to a Swedish girl, I was saying, do you think if four out of five people don't show symptoms, do you think the World Health Organization instantly identified this virus?
Let's use our brains.
Let's use our brains here.
Four out of five people get sick, don't even show anything.
Why would the World Health Organization jump all over instantly?
If everybody got sick and was badly sick, then who would react quickly?
But if a whole bunch of people are getting it and no one's even showing symptoms, then who ain't gonna do anything?
This virus has been around for a long time, much longer than who have been talking about it since January.
This has been around all the last year!
You already had Corona, bro!
And it didn't hurt you!
It's the same with so and I!
Some people have had it, and it's fine, and some people haven't.
And now they're doing all this testing and all these scary numbers.
But it's bullshit!
Most people have already had Corona.
I agree.
There's definitely something sketchy going on.
We've never seen anything like this.
Like, what the fuck's going on?
So, yeah, it's something super sketchy.
We'll see.
But I think Trump's going to kill it, man.
People underestimate him consistently.
And I think this is another example that he's just going to call it a bluff and smack him in the face with his dick.
Yeah, exactly.
He's called their bluff, and he's done a good job, and his polling numbers are going up.
And even though people are struggling, they're like, you know what?
I actually am happy with how he led the situation, and if it's what it is, it ain't gonna hurt him.
So, they're just idiots, man.
They're idiots.
But yeah, Sweden's still not on lockdown, and I'm going back next week if they still haven't locked down.
I'm going back to Paris.
Nice.
Yeah, fuck yeah.
So, let's back up a second.
So, not all the fans that are watching this show and that'll watch it later, the recording, know who you are.
So, what's kind of your backstory in terms of, like, who you are, you know, how you became who you are today?
You used to be, I know, broke.
You were not a fighter.
And then your life changed, you know, several years ago.
Yeah.
So, I was a chess player as a kid.
I was a professional chess player.
And then that was when I was in America.
And then I moved to I moved to England and there was no chess scene so I decided to start something else to because I was used to putting in hours and hours of difficult work a day and I decided to fight because to me they're similar to other people they say that's a weird jump and I say no it's not it's one-on-one war it's the same so um I chose to fight and then uh I just started turning up at the gym and just got good like I just refused to quit got my ass kicked kept turning up got good at it one fight at a time became world champion and then
I started making some money with fighting and then kind of stumbled upon this webcam business thing.
I needed money even though I was fighting.
My fight was a few months away and I needed money now.
I had a bunch of girlfriends and thought this is a long time ago when webcam was new.
You were in Thailand when this was going on, right?
You were in another country?
Yeah, I was living between Thailand and England, back and forth.
I was completely broke.
And when I say broke, I don't mean low on money.
I mean broke.
My version of broke is I can't eat.
I was broke.
You were eating ketchup or something like that?
Yeah.
Bullshit, bro.
Bullshit.
My next fight is three months away.
I need money now.
I'm trying to get a fight and no one will fight me and blah, blah, blah.
And then I thought, well, the whole story is this.
The whole story is I said to Tristan, I'm going to find a way to make money.
So I decided to lock myself in my room.
I saw something on the internet about a mathematician.
I can't remember his name.
He's a famous one.
He's a mathematician or a scientist.
He used to lock himself in his room and refuse to leave until he solved the problem.
And he got all these health issues because he wouldn't eat and all this crap.
So I thought, I'm going to be like this guy.
I'm going to lock myself in the room until I work out how to make money.
I only wanted to make like 20 bucks a day.
I said, I'm going to find a way to make 20 bucks a day so that we're not hungry.
That was it.
I want 20 bucks a day.
So I'm sitting there, and I'm looking at all this shit, and I'm researching, blah, blah, blah.
And I started writing down my assets.
Like, what do I have?
I was like, okay, well, I have physical strength, but I already utilized that fighting.
I have this, I have that, blah, blah, blah.
And I got down to the road, and I wrote down, well, I have a whole bunch of big booty bitches.
Big booty bitches, alright, I like that.
But I was like, what can I do with these girls?
I mean, even opening a strip club, you need investment money.
I didn't have investment money.
I don't want no one else fucking my girls.
I'm not going to put them on the track.
So what is there?
And even with fighting, a lot of people think you became a millionaire by fighting.
It doesn't really work like that, right?
Fighting is like modeling, whereas there's 0.1% that have all the money, the ones you can name, and then there's all the other ones who are just as good, who look just as good, can fight just as good, but for whatever reason just didn't get that contract.
I was four-time world champion.
And the most I ever got paid was $75,000, which is a lot of money, but it ain't life.
I mean, what, twice a year?
It's $150,000 a year.
You're not a rich guy.
You got a car, you got rent.
You're not rich.
And that's world champion, four times.
And it's kickboxing.
I mean, boxing, you can make a lot of money if you have a good promoter, but even then, there's a whole bunch of boxers out there who are fighting every weekend who are excellent, who you've never heard of and don't make shit.
So it's a hard sport to make money, man.
It's a terrible career path.
Yeah, so I had all these girls, and then I was kind of looking up, Googling, like, how to open a strip club, blah, blah, blah.
And I accidentally found webcam.
And I thought, oh, this is interesting.
Okay.
And kind of one thing grew to another.
And I moved back to England, started a webcam company, and it just exploded.
I ended up with 75 girls working for me and became a multimillionaire.
So that's how it went.
That's the story.
Yeah.
And I see you now transitioning today.
I see you teaching courses on OnlyFans and shit like that.
Because obviously, the whole industry has changed over time.
Yep, it's changed a lot.
Yeah, I've been in it for a long time.
I've been in webcam for about six years.
Six years ago, it was a lot different than it is now.
But now it's so much easier.
I mean, back then, even the tech was more complicated.
Even streaming video six years ago was like, YouTube was new and it was a pain in the ass.
Everything was hard.
Now it's so easy.
And yeah, I'm teaching guys how to run OnlyFans companies because OnlyFans is the best hustle in the world.
Everyone comes online and hates on OnlyFans girls.
Let's be honest, you and me, bro.
If you could take a picture of yourself in the bathroom mirror and sell it for $300, you're telling me you wouldn't fucking do it?
I would!
They get more than that too, man.
They get tons of shit.
Those girls in Orlando that do this, they have all business models for it.
They have like a girlfriend experience program.
It's like a monthly membership these dudes pay.
It's like a whole entrepreneurial system they have.
It's nuts.
It is.
And what I'll tell you though, 9 times out of 10 behind those advanced entrepreneurial systems is a man.
Women are fucking lazy.
They're lazy.
And if you show a woman how to make 500 bucks, she'll think, oh, okay, I don't have to work for the rest of the week.
If you show a man how to make 500 bucks, he goes, okay, I will do it again and again and again and again.
So most of the women who make the big money have a man behind them.
99% of the time.
The ones who make like the little bits of money, that's just the female attitude.
Oh, I can buy gas now.
Put my phone away.
Yeah, they'll blow it on bullshit too, of course.
Yeah, and they'll blow it on bullshit, exactly.
So, as a man, there's a huge industry in managing OnlyFans girls and convincing girls to do OnlyFans and managing their accounts, and I teach guys how to do that now because it's one of the things I do.
So, when I see all these hoes on Twitter making money on OnlyFans, I don't hate because I'm like, yeah, that bought me a Lambo.
What the fuck?
Well, you know, it reminds me, too, all these little dorks on Twitter, they go after you.
They call these girls sluts and this and that.
OnlyFansGirls, the cam girls you bang, you know, or that you manage and stuff.
But when I look at it, first of all, it's all bullshit when they're making fun of us, I think, or they're attacking it.
But second of all, those girls would walk all over these dudes.
This is literally how they make money.
It's like, you couldn't even fucking, you wouldn't even know the first thing to say to this girl in her life.
She would fucking just make fun of you and walk all over you.
So there's three really interesting points, and you've got an amazing one.
One, when the guy goes, oh, I'd never let my girl... They pretend that if they met a cam girl who looks like my cam girl.
They wouldn't fuck her because she's a cam girl.
What the fuck?
What kind of fucking lie?
What kind of complete lie?
You find a Barbie doll for the first time in your life, you see a 10, and you're unhappy with her career choice?
Shut the fuck up.
Dude, they're awesome in bed, too, because they're, yeah, it's just fucking dope, man.
They're savage.
Absolutely.
And then there's another point, too.
A cam girl is less likely to cheat on you, and a cam girl dislikes men most girls.
She talks to dudes all day every day, simp beta losers.
They lose respect for men by doing their job, which means they end up wanting a real G. So, they're less likely to go meet some idiot in a bar who's going to say something to them, and then be like, oh, okay, I like you.
They're actually harder to fuck, because they're like, I've heard all this before.
I usually get paid for this shit.
You better be the man.
Do you know what I mean?
Break me, daddy.
Fucking break me.
Yeah, you don't need to fuck cam girls.
You don't need to fuck cam girls.
And then also, the third thing about it is, people say to me, oh, but your girl's a hoe.
She's a cam girl.
And I try and say, look, I'd rather my girl be in my bedroom, making me thousands of dollars where I know where she is, than working in some office where every dude is trying to fuck her.
Like, now I know no one can touch my girl.
They can pay money, and they can see some titties, but it's different from an office.
In an office, you got guys trying to fuck her and take her out, and she has to be nice to the boss who fancies her and all this.
I'm sorry, if you have a genuinely hot girl, this is the reality.
Yeah.
There's nowhere else I'd rather have my genuinely hot girl than in my fucking bedroom making me money.
What the fuck I let her out into the world for?
Yeah.
So people don't really understand the thing.
They just want to come at you with some garbage, and it's bullshit, man.
To reiterate this point, you're saying that it's harder to fuck these cam girls and these girls that these guys call hoes than the average girl because they're so polarized.
They have so much attention.
They have so much attention, and they've dealt with so many men, so many betas, and they've tricked so many betas, and they've played mind games with so many betas, and they get paid so much money.
Nine times out of ten, you meet a cam girl, she's richer than you.
Do you know what I mean?
Like, these bitches are rich.
So you got some rich bad bitch with a bunch of men sending her money.
Every line in the world's been tried.
Millionaires are trying to fly her to Dubai.
Everyone's after her and you're going to go up to her and go, Hi, I like you.
And she's just going to bang you.
Is that what you think?
It's not going to happen.
It's not like that.
Like you, you need to have enough status as a man for these girls to go, okay, this guy is he's okay.
He's the man.
To even get on the radar, yeah, they won't even pay.
They just assume you're another fucking chump.
Yes, they assume you're another payday.
They're like, okay, where's my money?
They become like that.
They become ruthless predators.
So they're not easy to fuck.
They're not easy.
They're all about the money.
They're predators.
I agree 100%.
Super predators, man.
Yeah.
I banged this porn star years ago actually.
This was back in like 2016 before, I mean camp stuff was going on, but before there was no OnlyFans yet and shit like that.
She told me she was making 300 grand a year in LA doing a little bit of porn and then a lot of escorting from it.
It was like an advertising thing, then the escort, you know, she'd fuck the dudes.
But it was funny because she made all this money and I believed her.
She was like, yeah, I made like 350 grand one year, blah, blah, blah.
But then she just fucking blew it all on like drugs and fucking cars and shit and had nothing left in the end.
Have you ever read the book?
Sorry to interrupt.
Have you ever read the book by Pimpin' Ken?
Okay, I'm gonna send you a book.
It's a guy called Pimpin' Ken, who was a street pimp in the 90s, and he wrote a book, 50 Laws of the Game.
And one of the laws of the game is a hoe without instruction is headed for destruction.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You let these women, you don't have a man tell them what to do, they're gonna do the exact dumb shit you just said.
That was dumb shit.
They don't know anything.
Oh, I want to travel the world.
Oh, I want seven puppies.
Oh, cocaine.
They're stupid.
Their ideas.
You need a man to come along and say, no, bitch, no.
Shut up.
Give me that money.
You go there.
Stay.
Okay.
Work tomorrow.
Just because today was good doesn't mean tomorrow's a day off.
Don't be fucking lazy.
They need instruction.
A home without instruction is headed for destruction.
Pimpin' Ken.
I'll send you the book.
But it's true.
Every single lull to the game.
I read that book after I'd already been in the game for a few years.
And it was like, reading my life story.
I was like, this motherfucker.
I'm like, I'm gonna get the hard way.
It's like, yeah, a hundred percent, man.
I think that's true for all women.
That's all women though.
They really need a man in life to lead them.
Whether they're on a cam girl or a fucking wife.
They need a man to lead them 100% of the time.
The reason for that is because without a man to lead them, they're unhappy.
And if they're unhappy, you do dumb shit to feel happy.
The reason they run around and do cocaine and smoke and drink and go party is because they're miserable.
Because they don't have a man they respect, and then they're naturally miserable, and then they try and compensate with dumb shit.
That's just how it is.
But if they have a man they truly love... I say this all the time.
When a woman is completely obsessed with her man, she doesn't give a fuck about nothing else.
She truly loves you.
She doesn't give a fuck.
If I can say to my girl, today we're sitting in, we're gonna watch paint dry for the next week.
Will you watch with me?
Yeah, I'll watch with you.
Okay.
If I'm there, she doesn't give a fuck.
She'll watch paint dry with me for the next two months.
If you have a girl who's like, I'm bored. I want to go out.
I want to go here. Those are the fucking... Then you got to be like, this hoe. But when they're really obsessed with you, they don't care about nothing else.
So your girl shouldn't... I say this all the time. I get messages on Twitter and people are like, my girl really wants to travel the world. I was like, that's because you ain't fucking her right. If you were fucking her, she wouldn't want to go nowhere. She only wants to see fucking Machu Picchu because you ain't got no dick for her. That's all it is. It's the reality of the game.
I've just seen this so much.
I'm like, yeah, this is 100%.
So let's talk about money.
Let's talk about wealth.
I mean, that's kind of the title of the show and what I really wanted to focus on, although the women's stuff is a lot of fun.
This is really good shit.
People need to listen to you.
There's so much bullshit in the Manosphere.
So many con artists and these losers.
I think you're really savage, man.
I knew when I met you and was talking to you.
This is a little bullshit, too.
Not only hearing your ideas, but this little one-liners and shit you throw out on Instagram to these girls.
Like, you cheated on me.
I'm like, yep, this guy gets it.
I use that shit all the time.
I love it.
Women love it.
You cheated on me.
What?
Yeah, you got to be interesting.
But yeah, that's definitely one of my favorite lines.
I kind of learned It's weird.
I ended up in the whole red pill space.
I never really won.
I just came to Twitter to talk shit, you know, when Trump won and I locked my verified account and I've been banned nine times, blah, blah, blah.
But yeah, my approach to women has always been how to get money from them.
So I've kind of learned the game backwards.
I've learned the game from a whole different angle.
So sometimes I say things and people are like, oh, that's what you have never heard that before.
It's like, yeah, because I've always approached it from a completely different way.
Like I wasn't interested.
I'd have sex with women to get their money.
I didn't want to have sex with them.
I was trying to get the money.
People didn't understand.
They were like, oh, how do you fuck girls?
I was like, that's easy.
I don't even really want to fuck the girl.
I want to know.
She better love me afterwards so I can get paid.
I got rent.
How do I use these women to make money?
Jesus.
This is a great business model.
No wonder you make money.
But you know what?
The thing is, it's mutually beneficial.
Because people always come at me and go, you're exploiting girls.
I say, no, I'm not.
I take a waitress who's making 10 bucks an hour.
I give her a mansion to stay in.
I give her a good dick and I give her a hundred bucks an hour.
And then I get 200 bucks an hour for nothing.
Win-win.
Everyone wins.
There's no exploitation.
Well, it's not for nothing.
You got to provide the dick and the masculinity.
Exactly.
Yeah.
You got to leave them.
Yeah.
It's a trade.
It's a good trade.
But I provide an opportunity and they take me up on the opportunity and they get paid just like any other job.
Here's a job.
You get paid X amount.
Do you want to do it or not?
People always try and twist it like I'm exploiting or I'm tricking girls.
There's no trick involved.
I mean, they can walk out the door anytime they want.
It's very, very clear what's on offer, and they stay, and they work.
No, they stay because they love it.
Not just the money, but they love it, man.
We're also going to get this kind of lifestyle.
I mean, the boredom is a huge thing for them, and this is very not boring.
Exactly.
Constantly getting dicked down and then camming and making all the money and shit.
Yeah, and traveling the world and doing whatever you want.
Yeah, exactly.
It's a huge lifestyle upgrade for him.
Yeah, there's no exploitation.
It's win-win for everybody.
I have guys come to me all the time and go, you're a fucking pimp.
I'm supposed to be like, no, I'm not.
I'm like, yeah, I am, motherfucker.
Yeah, I'm a pimp.
Look at my Lambo.
Fuck you.
My question is or what I want to focus on is you've made money in a lot of different I mean, as a fighter, you made some serious money.
You know, not millions, but $75,000 in fights is real money.
You made money in the camgirl business.
You made money as an entrepreneur teaching men how to not be a bait-a-bitch, the PhD program, Pippin Ho's degree.
By the way, guys, you can sign up in the link.
Purchases support Redman Group 100% by the PhD program.
But you've made money a lot of ways.
I hear on Twitter you're focusing on starting a casino or a couple of them or something like that.
So my question is, where does wealth begin?
Because I see you as like having like all the money and the cars and the women.
This is interesting, but I'm much more interested.
I think the guys watching are interested in the mindset and the attitude you have, which seems to transfer to a lot of different areas of life.
And especially with money, you know, from entrepreneur, you know, one pursuit to the next.
Yep.
Okay.
So I'll tell you, I'll tell everyone right here, right now, how to get fucking rich.
I'm going to tell you how to get rich and I guarantee most of them ain't going to fucking do it.
But here's how you get rich.
If you're a scientist, You never ever wake up, go into the lab, pour the right chemicals, and fix the problem.
That doesn't happen.
You go into the lab, you try some shit, it fucks up.
You try some new shit, it fucks up.
And you keep fucking around until something kind of works.
Penicillin was a mold that grew on accident on top of an old experiment.
And the dude goes, what's this mold?
Oh, it's penicillin.
Before you know it, you have antibiotics.
So, mistakes.
Eventually, something goes well.
So I say this to people, look, how many ways have you tried to earn money?
You earn money X way, how many other ways have you tried?
Because you need to try a whole ton of ways, and you gotta make a bunch of mistakes, like a scientist does, to find a thing that works.
And everyone's heard this before, right?
And then they'll say, they have two hurdles to doing that.
One, they're lazy.
And two, they'll say, well, I have ideas, but I don't know how to start.
Or, I have ideas, but I need money to start.
So then, what you have to do, and this is one of the things I teach on Cooperative.com and my hustlers university is, you have to look at your business ideas and your plans and find a way to remove the need for money to attempt them.
So my philosophy on business is this, any business in the world that could genuinely work, could genuinely work without investment.
People get this idea in their head, I need loads of money.
Did you start 21Con with loads of money?
I started with 100 bucks.
Exactly.
No one come along who gave you loads of money.
So, and every single business I've tried, I will find a way to launch it for effectively free.
And if it starts to make money, then maybe I'll put money in.
Or then maybe I have some balance sheet, I can go to an investor and get money.
But everyone has this idea they need money first.
I'll give you an example.
So, like I said, you want to try lots of different things.
So, let's say off the top of my head, you want to try a makeup brand.
You're a woman, you want to try a makeup brand.
So, a woman will sit there.
I've had people come to me and go, Andrew, I want to start a makeup brand.
Okay.
I need 200 grand.
Why?
I need to get makeup and I need to get labels.
I need to get packaging and I'm going to get it all shipped in and then I'm going to sell some blah blah.
That's the wrong way to look at a business.
Here's how you start a makeup brand.
I say, make a fucking website.
Get some images of makeup.
Do your advertising or your marketing or whatever you were going to do.
Put it on the internet without any makeup in stock and see if you can sell.
Because if you start to sell, now you have money.
Now you can email each customer and say, sorry for the delay.
There's a shipping delay.
We're going to give you a free lip gloss.
And now you've got money coming in.
You can start to source some makeup.
If you don't sell anything, then the idea would have never worked in the first place.
And you haven't wasted 200 grand on boxes of fucking makeup.
Yeah.
You can start everything.
Do you understand where I'm coming from?
There's a way to start everything without throwing money down the drain.
My next question was going to be, what's the litmus test you use to evaluate deals?
Because I'm sure you have a lot of deals thrown at you all the time.
Every day.
Every day.
I like what you're saying a lot because you're saying if you can't start it for free, then you don't deserve any money anyway.
You're going to blow it.
You're going to blow it.
They're trying to offload responsibility on you or an investor is what they're doing, I think.
That's exactly what we want to do.
And they want a nice office, and they want to fucking pay their personal bills, and they want to go to the office and feel like the big man with their investment.
See, everyone has this idea now, because tech companies raise billions and have no profit forever, and then turn into like a super billion trillion, like TikTok and all this shit.
That's not real world.
You're not going to invent some TikTok app, okay?
That's one in a... You have a better chance of winning the lottery.
In reality, if you have a good idea and it will make money, you can find a way to do it for effectively free.
Especially with an online business.
I said this before, if you want to sell something online, Do all the marketing you were going to do, get the website up, and see how many you sell.
Worst case, you send the money back.
But then you can come to me and say, look, I sold 400 of these.
I didn't have the money to get them made.
I sold 400.
If I had them made, I could have made this much profit.
You can come at me with something.
Instead of saying, I need a million dollars and I want to get this shit made and then I'm going to try and sell it.
It's the wrong way around.
So once you understand that no matter any business you can attempt with hard work and no money, then you get to do what a scientist did.
Well, now I could try everything.
And before you know it, something's going to stick and you're going to start making some money.
It's really that simple.
And I say this to people all the time and they go, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then they go back to bed.
But that's the reality of it.
And on CobraTaker.com, I sell Hustlers University, which has 100 lessons.
I've just told you it's one of the lessons.
But it's very, very simple.
If you can approach entrepreneurship from that perspective, if you can approach it from that perspective, then you get to try a whole bunch of shit and you don't lose.
I say this to people all the time.
If you don't blow money, it's very hard to fuck up.
Okay, you start a company and you don't blow your money.
What's the worst that can happen?
You close?
They don't want to face the risk of the failure and rejection, the emotion.
That's what it is.
But if you don't give a shit and you're just all about the money, then what's the worst that can happen if you don't blow money?
Nothing bad can happen to you.
Literally, nothing bad can happen.
People just have this idea, if I only had a hundred grand, I could... I'm like, listen, if you could do this idea of yours, you wouldn't need a hundred grand to do it.
I started Cam Girls with fucking nothing.
You started 21 Kong with nothing.
You speak to most people who started businesses, they started with nothing.
Yeah, everyone has this.
It's the tech industry that's given up on this dream of this seed investment garbage, and we'll operate at zero profit for eight years, and then we're going to make money.
Come on, fuck off.
So, and this is the first thing about making money.
And the second thing about making money is a very simple thing, man.
People don't think about money.
Like when I was broke, all I thought about was money.
If I was in a coffee shop, I was sitting in the coffee shop with my coffee, and I was looking around at all the other people in the coffee shop.
How many people are in here?
Who bought cake?
What's the average spend?
How much is the rent here?
How much is that member of staff?
Do they sell sandwiches?
No, they don't sell sandwiches.
Why not?
Oh, most of the people in here are men, businessmen.
Why is the waitress not attracted?
The waitress is a fat bitch.
Why is that?
Hmm, if I was next door, would I make more money if I did this, this, and this?
How much would it cost to do that?
That was how my brain was.
All I talked and thought about was money.
The only people I hung around with talked about money.
When I sit down with my friends, they'd be like, how are you making money today?
Well, I'm selling drugs.
How are you making money today?
I'm selling Viagra to old dudes.
How are you making money today?
Well, I'm going to go rob a motherfucker.
I do the worst people in the world.
But all they did was talk about money.
I didn't sit around and talk about anything else.
I didn't think about anything else.
I've attempted so many things.
And the truth is, about half of them made me some money.
But when I discovered Cam, I knew I discovered the golden fucking egg.
But before that, I tried so many different things.
I always had a way to find money.
You weren't afraid to fail, is what it sounds like.
You had courage.
Yeah, I didn't give a shit.
I was going to ask as well, what's the relationship between you being a fighter and you being an entrepreneur?
And the link to me just hearing you talk seems to be the will and courage.
You have the will to fight, the will to experiment, the will to succeed, and the will to fail, and then keep going and going and going.
Absolutely.
That's absolutely accurate.
I think another thing about fighting will teach you is that it's kind of all or nothing.
So, my view to money always was I either want to be a multi-millionaire or I don't want to work at all.
So, my view is very much like I'd rather have my freedom and train and just bang girls on the beach in Thailand and live off 20 bucks a day so I could afford noodles.
Then work and be some middle-income, you know, go to work every day, sit on the motorway.
I can pay my bills.
I don't have much left.
I'd rather it was all or nothing for me.
It's the same with fighting.
You either win or you lose.
I either want to have it all or I didn't want to play the game.
I didn't want to play the game.
I didn't want to be in the middle.
So for that, I was always prepared to do sacrificial shit.
I was always prepared to go crazy or try a crazy idea because Like I had to pull something off.
Like people would say, I got offered all the time.
Hey man, you can come.
I got offered in Oslo.
You can come and you can train people at our gym and it's three grand a month and you get a free apartment.
You get to live in Norway and there's hot girls and you get to hold pads and you can still train.
And I was still like, nah, no, no, I don't want to work.
I still got a job.
No, I don't want to fucking hold pads with some dickhead.
No, I want freedom.
And freedom either comes from being completely broke or rich.
That's freedom.
Anything in between is a form of slavery.
So I was always trying to jump between the two, and sometimes I had a whole bunch of money, and sometimes I had nothing.
And then it kind of worked out well, and I've ended up on this side.
But that's how it was.
Yeah, I've been through the same thing, man.
The yin-yang and the tidal waves of this shit, up and down, broke, wealthy and all that stuff.
And most people who make it in the end, when you talk to the big boys, everyone's been through the same shit.
I've been bankrupt.
I was rich.
I was bankrupt.
I was rich.
It's how it goes.
And it's just about having that mental resilience.
Like, I know if I lost everything today, I wouldn't be like... I'd just be like, time to work.
I can't imagine you... I can't imagine you being like, oh my god, save me!
Tristan, save me!
Jesus Christ.
Yeah, you can't be like that.
You just gotta be like, okay, let's fucking knuckle down, let's get some hoes.
I mean, is that like a fight?
Have you ever lost a fight?
Yeah, I've lost fights.
Is that similar?
Yeah, it is similar.
And losing a fight is the worst thing in the world.
That is the closest I've ever been to feeling depression.
You walk through life and you're the fucking man, and then some dickhead from Dagestan beats you.
It's like it's taking your ego, it's taking your pride, it takes your soul.
Nothing can make you feel better.
Pussy doesn't make you feel better.
Money doesn't make you feel better.
Losing a fight is the worst feeling in the world.
But the only thing that will make you better is getting in there and beating someone else up afterwards.
That's the only possible way to feel good.
Why do you think that is?
Because you could have died?
Or your brain thinks you could have died or something like that?
Yeah, there's something primal about the idea that a dude has beaten you up.
It's primal.
It's like he beat you up.
Because the bottom line of all encounters is violence.
I still believe this.
I don't give a fuck.
If me and you were arguing, and you outsmart me, and you say a bunch of sarcastic comments and make me look stupid, and then I smash your jaw onto the other side of your face, I still win.
Yep, that's right.
Who gives a fuck?
Like, you know, it doesn't matter.
Violence is the bottom line.
Violence is the common denominator.
Well, sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.
But fists do.
But fists do.
Yeah, exactly.
And as much as people don't understand it or will deny it, men still operate in a combative nature.
I know that if I walk in a room People can smell, I can fight, and I will see more eyes on me in a nervous disposition from men.
They'll be a bit more like, well, who's this guy?
Then if I wasn't me, I see a normal guy come in, no one cares.
Me and Tristan walk in together, they're like, oh, whoa, who the fuck are these?
They're two big dudes, and something about the way we walk, they can probably tell, you can smell it a bit, and we're all primal, we're primal creatures.
I saw your tweet the other day.
You said it takes a killer to spot a killer.
Absolutely.
100%.
I've said this before.
I've been in the club and a guy's walked in and I've tapped his shoulder and I've pointed.
Like, I can tell by how he fucking walks that guy can fight.
And two hours later, he's kicking the fuck out of all four security guards.
I can see it!
Like, it's weird.
It's almost like when you fight, you can tell a fighter by the way they walk.
And I don't, even I can't tell you how.
There's just something about it.
You can see it.
I was like, I knew that guy had hands.
I just fucking knew it.
So there's something.
So when you go through life and you feel like, and you're like the line and then you lose, it's like a self-image crisis.
You know, it's like a big, it's like, it's like a self-image crisis.
Identity, yeah.
Yeah, am I who I think I am?
Am I full of shit?
Who's this idiot?
How did he win?
You start to struggle with loads of things, but the only thing you can do is just be a man about it and get up and fucking go fight again.
But then every fight afterwards is scarier.
You've had a taste of reality.
Yeah.
It's easy to be brave when you're undefeated.
Yep.
But when you start losing, then you're like, ah, fuck.
It sounds like it's part of learning about yourself as a man too.
And in business, I think that's been my experience and it sounds like that's been yours as well.
You learn about this shit as you go up and down with it.
Yep.
Absolutely.
And you're going to struggle and there's going to be times, but you're just going to see, look, am I a warrior or not?
Some people ain't cut out for it.
Some people can't deal with the stress.
I say this all the time.
Your ability to deal with stress, the amount of stress you can deal with as an individual is directly correlated to your success level.
If you can deal with stress all day, you're going to be successful.
If you collapse under stress, you're not going to be successful.
There's no way to the top without stress involved, and bullshit, and things going wrong.
The virus has fucked your convention up.
It's fucked my casinos up.
Who saw this coming?
Nobody.
It's just life.
You're either ready for it, and you're either gonna, you know, be a man about it, or you're gonna be a little bitch.
But if you're a little bitch, then you're never gonna succeed in anything in life.
Money or anything else.
So, this is what it is.
Well, here's my next question.
This is a good follow-up.
So, I think there could be a difference between creating wealth and finding it, you know, generating it and keeping it and maintaining it.
So, is there a distinction between those two, creating wealth versus keeping it over time?
Because obviously, you got the ups and downs of business and life and shit, but people can also take, you know, there's predators, there's women, there's men, people can take your shit.
So, what's the mindset difference between those two or the difference between those two, creating it versus keeping it?
Yeah, that's a really good question.
I think that it depends how you're making it in the first place.
So, I've always kind of been focused on cash flow, money in.
So, my philosophy is money in.
So, I spend a lot of money.
I'm not a frugal man at all.
I blow money.
But as long as my income… Dude, you're so beta.
You blow money on women, bro?
What the fuck, bro?
You buy girls dinner?
What the fuck, dude?
Ooh, I know.
Crazy.
Um, but if, if, if, if, uh, if, if I know my income is secure, I don't give a fuck.
If I know I'm going to get a hundred grand next week, I'll blow a hundred grand today because I know it's coming.
So I don't care.
That's how my attitude to money is.
So one is how secure is your cashflow?
Like, do you have a cashflow that's genuinely secure?
I am lucky with webcam girls because I know it's one of the most secure industries in the world.
Reception proof, virus proof, pandemic proof, Christmas, New Year, 365, 24 days, you come at me with some bullshit.
There are girls online and there are dudes sending them money.
So I'm quite lucky with that.
It's probably through the roof right now, right?
I mean, it's got to be way up.
I got girls making $2,000 a day.
Wow.
Yeah.
For nothing.
There's a 100% margin.
Yeah.
Jesus.
It's good from that perspective.
That's one thing.
But another thing in regards to protecting your wealth, I think a lot of that's common sense.
A lot of that's ruthlessness.
And I know it's not easy in the West because you have women and they can take your stuff and blah, blah, blah.
Litigation too.
Lawyers and shit.
All kinds of bullshit.
But this is another thing I teach in my Hustlers University course.
There's a hundred lessons.
Another lesson I teach is you got to make sure you feed yourself.
So it's easy when you get a baby like your business and your company and you love your baby.
You need to reinvest in it.
Of course you do.
But there has to come a point where you look at the balance sheet and go, you know what?
Business is going to struggle a little bit, but I'm going to take this five grand and put it in my bank so that this all goes fucked.
I still have that five grand.
So I had a couple of companies in the past where I fucked up, where I was turning over.
I ran an advertising agency, a TV advertising.
I don't even talk about this.
I ran a TV advertising agency when I was 20.
So I was working for, I got a job selling TV advertising.
And I turned out to be a really good salesman within the first few months.
And the best salesman quit to start his own company, and took me with him, convinced me to be a partner in this new company.
So at 20, I own an advertising agency.
So we were turning over money, but we were robbing Peter to pay Paul.
So like, we were doing deals, but they were selling too cheap to get them in.
And the only way we could pull the deal off and get them on TV was to land a new deal.
So we were bringing in new money and paying for old shit.
So we were in a death spiral.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And the whole time I was in a death spiral, we were in a death spiral for about two years.
We were pulled off for like two years.
And we turned over like three million dollars, which is, you know, money.
But we were so busy trying to perpetuate and keep this death spiral alive that when it all went tits up, we finished broke.
It all went down the road.
And if I knew then what I know now, I would have just every single week out of that death spiral, took a couple thousand and goes, this is fucked anyway.
So take that.
Okay.
I'll do the best I can with what's left.
Okay.
Take that.
We'll do the best.
So when it all goes down, I can go, well, I got half the mills.
So whatever.
Yeah.
So that's another thing you got to be prepared for.
You got to be prepared for that.
You know, you got to say, all right, well, why does the business exist?
Because I created it.
So the businesses look after me as much as I need to look after the business.
And then there's another thing, a part of it is, the one thing people do too much, especially with women, is talk.
Look, my girls don't know how much money I make.
These are girls I've been with for years, and they don't know anything.
I mean, and these are girls who work on cam, and they see their own money, but they don't know what the other girls make.
They don't know what the casino makes me.
They don't know what I'm making on courses.
These girls don't know what I make, and I will never fucking tell them.
Why would I need to brag to pussy I'm already fucking?
Well put.
Well put.
Why?
Dude's come home.
Hey, baby, I landed that really big deal, baby.
And I landed that big contract, baby.
If I was him, I'd be like, listen, you're already fucking that bitch.
Land the contract.
Take that money.
Put it in a separate fucking bank account in your brother's name in case that hoe tries a fucking divorce.
And then you got a fucking set.
Like just shut up.
People call you a fucking moron.
They probably feel worthless probably is why they're doing it.
They don't feel like they deserve it.
They want to prove something.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But if your woman is already in check and she really loves you, then she really doesn't care about money as much as you think.
So a lot of guys need to learn to shut up and put things aside.
Look, if I lived in the West and I had to go through a divorce, I can guarantee you and I'm saying this on video, my woman would leave with nothing.
I'm a millionaire.
She would leave with nothing.
I would set it all on fire before I gave her a fucking penny.
You want to suck new dick on my money?
No fucking way!
And I don't care what it takes.
I'll go jail.
I'll put it all into Bitcoin and send it all around the world.
I'll give it to my brother.
I'll fucking put it in a big pile and light it on fire.
Don't give a shit.
You ain't getting a fucking lick.
Joker style.
Yeah, you ain't getting a lick from me.
And most men aren't militant enough.
Most men just collapse to the system.
I said, look, if your wife won't believe you and you've got millions, you love America that much, fuck that.
Move to Thailand.
Don't fuck herself.
I wouldn't be playing those games.
But one of the biggest things men can do, especially for protecting their wealth, because the one thing that's going to steal it from you is women.
You need to have a whole bunch put away they don't know about.
I don't care how much you love your wife.
Get another bank account.
What's wrong with you?
And shut up.
That's what you need to do.
But people, they don't think ahead, and then it goes wrong.
Yeah, that's good advice.
I mean, in my marriage, divorcing from years ago, I walked out, not only I lost no money, first of all, because I had this kind of mindset.
I was younger.
It wasn't as developed as it is now, but I had that.
I lost no money.
I walked away cash positive.
She got jack shit.
That's how it's gotta be.
How else can it be?
This is what I mean.
The whole Western system is broken, and the reason it's broken is primarily because of this bullshit.
Women can do whatever they want, and they can rape you for money.
But it's a system I hate so much, I left.
That's how much I hate it.
Because I'm American, and I was like, no, this is bullshit, bye.
Yeah, you grew up in Indiana, right?
I grew up in Indiana, yeah.
And I moved to London, it was the same game, so I moved again.
But the point is, there's still certain things you can do as a man to protect yourself.
One of the best things you can do is shut up.
Just shut up.
Stop telling her.
She doesn't know what your paycheck is unless you tell her.
Especially if you're on a commission job where you've got your own business or you're running construction.
Tell her you're broke.
Tell her you're about to go bankrupt.
You could have your best year in business ever.
You could come home every day and go, I'm really struggling.
It's really hard.
I'm working extra hours.
It's really hard.
Okay, baby.
Love you.
You could be put millions away.
She doesn't fucking know.
Why are you telling her for?
Most men just just want to brag too much to their own fucking chicks and it's stupid.
The woman needs to love you regardless whether you have money or not.
If you feel like you need to brag to your chick for her to not leave you, then you got bigger problems than fucking money.
You got a bigger problem coming.
I can go to my woman today and say, I am broke.
We are on the street and she will sleep next to me.
I know she will.
And she's fucking smoking.
So if you're really like, oh, I have to prove to my wife I got the big check, why?
That's some kind of issue you've got in your relationship.
That's super unattractive too.
They're going to fucking hate it.
They're going to go fucking cheat is what they're going to do.
Yeah.
It's just unnecessary.
It's just, yeah, absolutely.
And protecting your wealth is that.
And then there's other things I talk about.
Sorry to keep plugging, but there's other things I talk about in Hustlers University about where I put my money, how to hide it, etc, etc.
Cryptocurrency, I talk a lot about that because I think it's revolutionary.
I believe in it.
And I believe in it because... I'll tell you what will make you believe in crypto.
If you ever try and send a million dollars, which I've done, through a bank, you will see the levels of bullshit you have to go through.
It's my money that I make, and I'm sending it to somebody.
And I have to go through weeks of papers, and questions, and garbage, and it bounces back, and it's blocked, and new pieces of paper, and letters from tax authorities, and interviews.
Whereas with Bitcoin, I press two buttons, it costs me 35 cents, and it's done in three minutes.
And there's too many people with a lot of money who are tired of banks.
That's why Bitcoin will never go to zero.
Because there's too many people with a bunch of money who do not want to be playing these games, whether they're criminals or even if they're legit.
They just don't like, well, I'm trying to move my money, you're giving me questions, fuck you, fuck you.
That's why Bitcoin will never go to zeros.
So I talk a lot about crypto and where to put money and all those kind of things and how to hold on to wealth.
But in reality, man, a lot of it's just about cash flow.
If you can secure a good cash flow, you'll be fine.
If I said to you right now, I guarantee you 100 grand a month on the first of every month for the rest of your life.
Guaranteed.
How are you going to go broke?
You can't.
You're always going to eat because you get paid.
So as long as you're getting paid, you're okay.
So that's another thing to consider as well, to secure your wealth, secure your cash flow.
If you can secure that, then you don't need to save money.
If you know for sure, then you're done.
Next question.
Let's follow up with this.
Relationship between body and wealth.
Can you be a fat fuck and still get wealth?
And what's the relationship between these two?
That's a good question.
That's a good question.
So, I'm a firm believer in the physical realm.
I'm a fighter.
Okay.
So, I was a fighter.
So, I believe in physicality.
Physicality is always an option in my mind.
We're having an argument.
We're having a disagreement.
It always crosses my mind, at least.
Can I smash your face in?
Oh, yes, I can.
Okay, so let's continue to talk.
But I've already analyzed it, and I've already decided that I could do it if I wanted to.
So physicality, I live in a physical world.
And for that reason, I believe physicality is important.
And for that reason, I understand that physical capability is important.
I don't believe the mind and the body can be separated completely.
I don't think that's possible.
And I think the stronger your body is, the stronger your mind is going to be.
So whether it's business, whether it's women, whether it's anything else, I think if you have a strong body, you're going to have a stronger mind.
I don't see how.
There's two reasons for that.
One, because creating a strong body takes discipline.
So it trains your mind.
And two, how can you have a strong body that's so resilient and have a weak mind?
I mean, maybe you do.
I've known a bunch of dudes who do a bunch of steroids and they cheat their way to the top.
Yeah.
Down their pussies.
Women fucking walk all over them.
You see that?
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, exactly.
So you see that a lot.
But I'm talking about if you do it legit like I did.
I've never taken a steroid in my life.
Never cheated.
No, I just fucking trained hard.
You train hard, you're going to learn discipline.
And discipline is always going to help you.
And I believe that the link between the two is strong.
And I also believe that You know, like men and women have very different experiences of the world.
Yeah.
And people very often think, I hear a lot of people say, oh, women are lucky or life's easy as a woman.
I think being a woman would be a disaster.
I think, I think being a woman would be shit.
Because the only thing that matters and the only happiness you can derive truly as a woman is through a man anyway.
You need a man you love and you need his kids.
Because without that, you're a miserable bitch.
Instagram won't make you happy.
Being a hoe won't make you happy.
All the Gucci in the world won't make you happy.
You're still fucking miserable.
But as a man, you can be happy without some chick.
You can just be fucking random chicks.
You don't need a chick you're obsessed with.
You can be fucking random hoes, and you can be strong, and you can be rich, and you can push your Lambo, hang with your boys.
Life is good as a man.
I think it's better than a woman.
But only if you're the man.
Being a man is shit.
Being the man is great.
And part of being the man is looking like the man.
And the man is strong.
It's the reality.
The man is strong.
I say, imagine the man.
He's strong.
So, I think, yeah, there's absolutely a link with the discipline aspect, but there's also a link for your happiness.
And happiness is energy.
Like, people say, I lack motivation.
I say, it's because you're unhappy.
If you want motivation to push hard in your business, if you were happy and excited every day, you'd work harder.
So, how do you become happy and excited?
Well, you have to be the man.
How do you be the man?
We've got to be strong.
It's all linked.
It comes down to you.
It comes down to you.
Yeah, it's all linked.
So, if you wake up every day and look in the mirror and go, I'm strong as a fucking... I'm strong as an ox.
Look at this.
I'm built like Hercules.
I'm about to go make some fucking money.
That's different than waking up and going, ah, breath out the shower and shit.
You know what I'm saying?
So there is definitely a link.
I think physicality is linked to everything.
I don't think you can deny that.
Physicality is linked to everything in your mind.
I couldn't be me if I wasn't so fucking strong.
I couldn't.
I couldn't be me.
I know I'm an objectively strong man, and it makes me happy.
Fuck yeah.
Next question.
What is the dumbest thing you've ever seen in business someone do?
In any kind of business deal.
It could be related to with women, it could be business to business, business to customer.
Dumbest shit you've ever seen.
That's a good question.
That's a really good question.
I've seen a lot of dumb shit.
You've probably seen some dumb shit.
Yeah, exactly.
I've seen a lot of dumb shit.
We're going to talk about women because I think women are the biggest aspect.
But besides women, I've seen a lot of dumb shit that also had like Every cloud has a silver lining.
So you can do some dumb shit, but it can be so polarizing that it ends up meaning your fans love you more and your haters hate you more.
But who cares?
Your fans love you more.
Your haters are never going to pay money anyway.
So anyway, let's talk about the TV advertising agency.
So the TV advertising agency I had, the guy I ran away to start the agency with turned out to be a fucking coke addict and spent $1,000 a week on coke.
Now, he was burning through the bank account on cocaine, destroying it.
I've never tried cocaine in my life.
He was killing it on coke.
But that made him excellent closer because he needed money today.
He was like, no.
I was like, I've got this client, they want to do business next week.
He's like, no, today.
I was like, no, but they already said they don't have money till next week.
He goes, no, we're going to call them and we're going to find a way to make them send money today because it's the fucking Friday and I'm going out and I got this bitch and she likes coke and I like coke.
I want money today.
So, although it was a detriment, In many ways, he taught me a lot about sales.
He was like, nah, call him up, promise to... I got 30% of the money today.
See, I got some money today.
Like, he was that guy because of his downside.
So, there's a whole bunch of, you know, stupid shit that have a silver lining.
The only thing that doesn't have a silver lining is fucking up women.
I say this all the time, man.
Women affect everything about a man's life.
Everything, your business, your physicality, your happiness.
If you don't have a good relationship with women, you're going to have a miserable life.
It doesn't matter who you are.
If you, if you, if your woman's treating you like shit every day, you go home, you're no sports cars and make you happy.
No jobs can make you happy.
It's going to eat your soul.
Yeah, absolutely.
So I say the biggest mistake a man can make in business is advertise his woman troubles.
So I've had a few times guys come to me and be like, I want to start this business.
And I'm like, okay, we're talking about stuff.
And I'm like, okay, let's meet here this time.
Oh, you know, the wife will moan, can we meet earlier?
And I'll sit and go, so you want me to go into business with you?
But your wife tells you what time you're allowed to leave the house?
And you want me to trust you with half my business?
Like, no, that to me, that's a red flag.
I was like, like, no, no, no, this, this is a fucking divorce, getting involved in my business bullshit waiting to happen.
You can't control your chick and then you want to make money.
He's not in the command of his own life.
You're not in the command of your own life.
And who the fuck is this bitch to tell me what time I can have my business meeting?
She's sucking my dick.
I said this time.
I don't fucking know her.
So too many dudes are like advertising.
I think one of the biggest things you can do, and you need to keep clear in business, they say keep it separate from your personal life.
And it doesn't mean you have to be completely separate.
But in regards to the fact you can be, I know loads of fucking top level salesmen in London, but they were, oh, they thought it was like funny.
Oh, got to be home for the wife and all this shit.
And you're a dickhead and you're pathetic.
And I don't think you should be doing that kind of thing.
Like if I had a business to run and my woman complained, she would fuck off.
I have to make money, so that's how it's gotta be.
Some of the dumbest shit I've seen has been female related.
But most dudes do dumb shit with females in and out of business, man.
Most dudes are just fucking useless with chicks.
It's interesting you say, though, with women because Donald Trump in his old books he's written back in the 90s and 2000s said the same thing.
At the end of the day, there's a lot of mistakes you can make in business, but women and fucking up that part of your life, you know, divorce and anything else.
You know, of course, we have Me Too bullshit nowadays, too.
Yeah, which makes it worth it.
Yeah, it can fucking ruin you, yeah.
And that's it, yeah.
Because women, look, it doesn't matter.
You can be Jeff motherfucking Bezos.
There was one human alive who could dent his wealth.
And she did it.
Even Trump himself, passing laws against Amazon, could not dent his wealth like that bitch.
Because he sells all around the world.
There was one person on the planet who could dent his wealth considerably, and she did.
She got billions, I think, too, right?
It's crazy.
She's like the richest woman in the world.
Yeah, that's nuts.
She's a fucking dick.
Yep.
Jesus.
But this is what I mean.
You have your shit together, especially with females.
Too many guys don't have their shit together.
I've seen this with fighting all the time.
I see fighters who are dedicated and hard-working, dangerous men.
Get a new girlfriend.
Oh, I'll change my training hours.
I need to finish earlier.
Yeah, but the other professionals aren't there till later, so you can't spar the good guys, you're gonna be sparring the shit guys.
Oh yeah, but you know, blah, my girlfriend, I pick her up from the train station.
Okay, cool.
Over six months of not sparring the killers like me, and sparring the pussies, then he gets in the ring, gets the fuck kicked out of him, then his girl leaves him!
The fuck was that?! !
Like, I've seen it time and time again.
People fucking make these accommodations for females, and the woman's ruthless.
If you make an accommodation and you lose your job or you lose your fight, she's gone anyway.
Yeah, immediately.
But what the fuck are you doing?
People often say to me, hey man, how did you get red-pilled?
And I say, I got red-pilled because I was a fighter.
I have to fight.
Oh, but I want you to take me here.
Camp, training.
Oh, but I want you to take me here.
Fuck off then, bye.
I was just dedicated to my craft.
That's all that red pilled me.
I refused to take shit.
That's all it was.
And I saw so many other guys compensate and fucking ruin their careers.
In fighting, you lose one fight, that's your chance.
That was your big shot.
It's done.
And you're gonna fucking leave early to pick up some bimbo from a train station?
Get a fucking taxi.
But man, it'll fuck up your business, it'll fuck up your fight career, it'll fuck up your whole fucking life.
It's too easy to do.
You've got to be on the ball.
I'm not saying hate women.
I'm not saying be anti-woman.
You've just got to be like, okay, she loves me because I'm me.
I became me because of XYZ.
Now she's going to complain because she's a female and she has a low IQ, but I refuse to compensate.
I'm going to continue with XYZ because that's who I am.
She doesn't like it, she can fucking go.
It sounds like, if I'm interpreting this correctly, that not only is it dangerous to be shitty with women and have that part of your life, it can ruin many parts of your life.
It sounds like it's a really good thing to be good with women, and that having women, the females, in your head and then in your life set straight, that could really benefit you.
Oh, absolutely!
So let's talk about, we're getting to the political aspect quickly.
Why in London are Muslims so rich?
I'll tell you why.
The Muslims own all of London, because their women are in check.
So I had a Muslim friend when I used to go to college, and he drove a Ferrari when he was 19.
And he worked in a chicken shop.
He was making like a thousand bucks a month.
And I was like, how the fuck do you have a Ferrari when you're making a thousand bucks a month?
He goes, well, what happens is this.
I have a wife at 19.
I have a wife and my four brothers have wives and my mom and all five women stay in the house and they cook and clean and provide for us men.
And then us men, our only job is to go out and make money and then we put all our money together and then we buy properties and buy expensive cars and we share them.
And then he said to me, he goes, the problem with white people is, if you were in my family with five people, or five brothers, you'd go rent a place because you want your own space to fuck your girl, and you'd go rent a place, and you'd go rent a place, and you'd all be paying separate rents, and you wouldn't pool your money, and you couldn't live in one house because all the women wouldn't like each other, or the men would argue, and the women want to look after the men.
So all your assets are divided and scattered.
That's right.
They're not going to get divorced either.
If you have women in check, it's absolutely a massive benefit.
I can wake up in the morning and say, the first words out of my mouth, I can wake up, coffee.
It's the first thing I say, not, hey baby, coffee.
She'll get up, she'll make me coffee.
I'll come out to a clean house and I can sit down with my coffee and start making money.
That's it.
If I had to be like, hey, baby, are you okay, baby?
Oh, you're in a bad mood today.
Let me cheer you up.
Let me make you a drink.
You should do a comedy video about this being a bitch.
How the fuck am I going to get paid if I'm doing that shit?
Having women in check is absolutely a huge advantage to your life because I don't agree with MGTOs.
As a man, you need feminine energy.
I'm telling you now, I say this, if you're sick, let's say you get the flu, every once in a while you get sick, you know when you're fucking dying, you're sick.
You want a woman, make me tea, massage my head, I'm dying.
You need women around you, and you want women who love you.
But, you don't want to deal with all their shit, so it's just getting the fucking, the balance right.
You do need women around you, but you need to be good with them so they love you and they respect you and let you do your things as a man.
I know that's not easy, but that's what I teach.
I never say to guys, look, give up on chicks, it's the wrong way, you need chicks.
And if you don't have your shit together, yeah, they'll destroy you.
Yeah, they will.
But they're ruthless.
But you know, that should be all the motivation in the world to have your shit together.
Yep.
Shouldn't it?
Like, I mean, I fuck beautiful women.
So if I have to have my shit together to fuck beautiful women, that's fine by me.
Okay, I'll get my shit together.
Fine.
Alright, I'll get my shit together.
Okay, come here.
So it's good for me.
But yeah, having your stuff together with women is a massive advantage.
And Muslims prove this.
Their shit's together completely.
So yeah, women will fuck your life up.
Just one more point on that.
People say to me all the time, I wish I was close with my brother like I am with you and Tristan, but you know, duh, duh, duh.
And if I talk to him a little bit, it always comes down to, well, my wife doesn't like, okay, so you chose some bitch above your brother because your wife doesn't like you and your brother going to the bar.
And then you want to ask me, how do you get close with your brother?
You chose the pussy.
You chose the woman.
Now, if you get in a car crash, only another man can drag you from a flaming car.
Your woman's just gonna stand there and scream while you burn.
Yeah.
But your brother, because he wants to go to the bar and your woman doesn't like it, you chose the woman over your brother.
And then you want to ask me how to become close with your brother.
I don't give a fuck how big your tits are.
If you come to me and say, I don't like you living with Tristan, I'm gonna pull... I'll be like, cool.
Well, you can either accept it or you can fuck off, because there is 0% chance of me not living with him to live with you.
Zero!
Flat zero!
Flat zero!
Literally, bros before hoes in your case.
What the fuck am I?
Yeah, it's flat zero.
So, this is the choice most men make.
Most men choose the pussy above their boys.
They're like, oh, how do I get a good relationship with my brother?
Why have I not got a team I can rely on?
Because as soon as there's some titties in your face, you sacrifice your team.
I don't want to sacrifice my team for any girl on fucking earth.
I don't care who you are.
Try me.
Send me the most famous bitch alive and I'll put the screenshots on Twitter.
I don't care.
I don't care.
It's a good attitude, man.
I like it.
I try to practice the same in my life.
It's good.
It's the only way to be though, but it's the only way to be.
Because especially when it comes to male relationships, your male friendships, they're the ones who are actually gonna be there for you unconditionally.
Women are always gonna have conditions to some degree.
Your boys are there for you.
You're probably gonna be there.
Probably because they're dependent on you.
They have to have those conditions.
Absolutely.
You can't provide, you can't put, if your shit's not together, they can't fucking count on you either.
Yeah, they're programmed.
They're programmed.
They're evolutionarily programmed.
Is this the best I can do?
And it's not a bad thing.
That's how they're programmed.
That's how they work.
And you can use that against them, like I do.
I completely hack the matrix and use it against them.
All the women want the biggest, baddest, fucking millionaire athlete, and then they end up on webcam.
So it's fine with me.
So you can use it against them the same.
But absolutely, I know my brother is there.
No matter what, if I go broke, if I go poor, this, that, I kill someone, I fucking, no matter what happens, he's gonna be like, yeah, I'm here.
I can send him all my money today and the reason I know for a fact he will never rob me is because I know for a fact no woman will ever get in his head.
This is the thing.
Think of a dude you can't trust.
And if you think you can't trust, the reason probably is because if he had a pair of titties in front of him, he'd fucking become a complete coward.
Most boobs you can't trust are fucking butter around chicks.
Yep.
How can you trust a man who will see a pair of tits and be like, I love you.
I love you so much, man.
Then you can't trust him.
The only guys I can trust are the real Gs who tell the women to fuck off all day.
Yep.
That's all you got left.
Because you can't trust a man if he's going to fucking bend for some ass.
He ain't worth shit.
That's how it is.
Well put, man.
Next question.
The world's in crisis right now, right?
We have this pandemic.
Hoax or not, how much of it's true, numbers, all the bullshit, right?
It's complex.
But the world's in crisis.
What is the average chump not seeing right now?
There's definitely opportunity and OnlyFans is a good example.
But beyond that, the stock market, Bitcoin, there's a lot of shit going on.
So, what does the average guy need to know right now?
Okay.
So, there's three things to this.
One, the world is on sale.
Now, the problem with this is that it's only beneficial if you already have money.
So, for people like me, I have money, I'm very lucky in times like this because the world is on sale.
Because there are two kinds of rich people.
You have rich people who are asset rich and rich people who are cash rich.
So, you have people who own lots and lots of properties, but they're fucked right now because the values have gone down and all their properties are mortgaged.
Grant Cardone.
Yeah, good example.
Grant Cardone, yeah.
Famous guy and now he's fucked.
I always suspected too.
I was like, this guy doesn't have liquid cash, man.
Something bad happens, he's going to lose it.
Real estate is always like that, man.
Yeah, it is.
I hope he's...
Well, he probably hasn't.
But Grant, if you're listening, you little pussy, you need to buy Hustlers University because the lesson I just gave out for free earlier about taking money from the side, I hope he's been doing that because he might not.
You should buy Cardone University.
Yeah, I should.
If he had half a brain, he'd be skimming a million a month off the side and put it into an account in Belize.
But he might not.
I don't know.
That's what I would have been doing.
So, when it all went tits up, I would have been like, ha ha, whatever.
Bye.
Whatever, bye.
Whatever.
So this is the first thing.
The world is on sale, but only if you're one of the people who are liquid cash rich.
So I made a million dollars off Bitcoin this month.
And that's very easy because when it crashed to $4,900, I just bought so much of it.
I looked at all the liquid cash I had that I didn't need.
I thought, I can live off however much money.
The rest is going to go into Bitcoin.
It doesn't matter if it takes a year or two years.
Once it goes up, I'll just sell it again.
You know, I know, I know that it's going to go off eventually.
I believe in it.
Now it could have taken two years to go off, but I wouldn't have needed that money.
So I'm fortunate.
It only took two weeks.
So what I made, I sold yesterday.
I made all my money.
I made the money.
I made over a million dollars back, but that's because I have millions of dollars sitting around.
Most people can't do that.
So the world is on sale if you have money sitting around.
So that's the first thing.
Be careful with what you buy like airline stocks.
Are they going to let American airlines go out of business?
No, of course not.
If you buy airline stock, maybe it'll take a year, maybe it'll take two.
Is it going to go up?
Well, duh.
Because right now no one's flying, and eventually people will be flying.
Like, it's not fucking complicated.
Like, how hard is it?
That's the first thing.
The second thing is, there's opportunities.
Like the OnlyFans thing, that webcam thing.
There's certain industries you should look at.
You should look at two things.
One, you should look at what industries are still operating.
What industries are still operating?
What industries are making more money?
So I know, for example, in Romania, I don't know about in the West, but in Romania, food delivery has gone up like 3000%.
Oh, yeah.
Because everyone's ordering food because they're stuck at home.
So I'm not saying open a food delivery place.
It's just an example of what industries are still open.
So since this thing started, an old fighter I used to know, a black guy, he had a job on a construction site.
He lost his job.
The same day of lockdown, all over his Instagram and all over his Twitter, he started a Jamaican food delivery service.
And he's been making $400 a day delivering food that his wife cooks.
Same day, same day lockdown, he said, fuck this.
All right, boom, boom.
He thought ahead.
And now when I was talking to him yesterday, he goes, I might keep this open, bro.
This is giving me 30 grand a month.
Wow.
For just delivering fucking food that he eats at home.
Well, it sounds like the lesson there is no hesitation, like fighting, right?
Yeah, no hesitation.
You hesitate, you die.
And also the lesson there is, start a business for nothing.
How much did it cost him to start that business?
It's the same Instagram posts.
Instagram posts.
He didn't even go out and buy the food because the first couple days he ran out of food.
So he just started advertising it saying let's see if someone's gonna pay me.
Pay me by bank transfer or I collect the money when I drop it off.
Oh, okay.
Now I need food.
Okay, let me go get the food with the money I've already made.
No investment.
Blah, blah, blah.
So it's the same thing.
So there's an example.
So look at the businesses that are already open, and look at the businesses that are still operating, and try and understand why they're still operating.
Because now you're going to learn about what essential services are.
If you sell something that's essential, people will always need it.
Pussy is essential.
So people are still buying.
People need to jizz like they need to fucking eat.
So that's one thing.
And the third thing is, try and imagine how things are going to change into the future.
So when this whole lockdown is over, Are people going to instantly rush out and start buying Mercedes cars again? I don't think so. I think people are going to be a lot more frugal with their money. They're going to be a lot more careful of what they spend money on. They're going to be a lot more interested in saving money.
They're going to be a lot more interested. There's going to be a mindset shift.
They're going to be a lot more— Like the Great Depression, grandparents stuff.
Exactly.
They had this too.
Exactly. They're going to be a lot more interested in hygiene and hygiene products.
They're going to be a lot more interested in prepping, like preppers preparing for the end of the world.
So there's going to be certain things that are going to explode when this shit's over and people start to make money again.
They may not explode now because people are poor, but when they start to get their checks in the bank, they're going to go, you know what?
Now I'm making money again.
You know what?
Just in case, let me buy some fucking of this.
Let me put this here.
Let me put people.
So you need to also, is there a way I can be ahead of the curve and start providing something that people are going to start wanting to buy?
Yeah, you can do that.
You can make a whole bunch of money when the shit's over as well.
It doesn't have to be during the crisis.
It can be directly afterwards.
It sounds like you're saying basically observe the mindset people are in right now and then try to predict what they're going to do six months from now.
Look ahead at it.
Absolutely.
My casinos were only open for a month and I made so much money, I was laughing my ass off.
But I don't believe, even when this is reopened, people are going to be running into casinos.
I believe people are going to be far more frugal and clever with their money.
So I think it's going to take a long time for my casinos to recover.
So in all my business meetings I'm having now, I'm sitting there thinking, what are people going to run out and buy?
What is it or what service are they really going to want?
Toilet paper.
It could be the dumbest shit in the world, bro.
It can be dumb.
This is just completely off the top of my head.
You could sell a house sanitizing bullshit service for $99.
You can get your little cousin who's 17, give him a steam cleaner and send his ass around to collect $100 a day or $300 a day off people, steam cleaning bullshit.
It could be garbage.
It's just about how do you put a spin on it?
You know?
Okay, the lockdown's over.
The germ is now going to be more.
It's not, you're not safe now.
You're at more risk than ever.
We will sanitize your house, your doorknobs, your da-da-da-da-da-da for X amount.
This is just off the top of my head.
But it's an example of how people, what kind of things are people going to react to when they have their money again?
So that's another thing to think about.
And those are the opportunities from the crisis.
One, things are on sale if you have money.
Two, what's still operating now and can you get involved?
And three, what's going to blow up when this shit's over?
And is there any way you can get your toe in the water?
And if so, you're going to make money.
Because I think my casino is going to be down for at least a year and a half.
I don't see people blowing money in casinos anytime soon.
But I got pussy online.
So it is what it is.
Yeah.
Next question.
Let's think bigger picture here.
So we're seeing history repeat itself for whatever fucking reason, right?
There was a pandemic about 100 years ago, the flu, the Spanish flu.
Now it's 2020, 102 years later or whatever.
It's kind of a similar thing.
Everybody's freaking out.
Situation's similar, but a bit different, right?
What do you think about the 2020s now?
We're in the 2020s.
We have a decade ahead of us.
In America, obviously, we had the roaring 20s.
Things were up.
The stock market was booming the whole time.
Do you see that happening again?
You know, after the pandemic, this bullshit ends and everything's back to normal, so to speak.
What other predictions do you have for 2020 with relation to history, too, repeating itself?
Yeah, it's going to be interesting because I don't know if this is going to put a dent in the whole globalism ideology.
I think people are going to be far more nationalistic.
All the anti-border liberals have disappeared.
They've all shut up.
Morons.
So I think it's going to affect politics in quite a heavy way.
I know that governments can print money and they can affect things and they can make people feel, you know, richer, faster, and they're going to try their best to do that kind of stuff, etc, etc.
I do think there's gonna be a big mindset shift in regards to cleanliness and preparation, that kind of thing.
I can really see that happening.
But all in all, I mean, what surprised me most about this, I think what's scary to me about this is before this lockdown, if you would have come along to me and said, Every government is going to roll to shut people in their houses.
I would have said, no way.
No one would tolerate that shit.
No way.
And I'm surprised how easy it happened.
Everyone, even me, we're all sent home.
I mean, I went to Sweden.
The reason I went to Sweden, I said to Tristan, was to prove an ideological point.
I refused to be confined because I was told to be confined.
That's literally what I said.
I said to my cousin, literally what I said.
I said, look, they told me I have to stay in my house.
So I refuse to do that.
I need to go fuck some bitches.
Just to prove a point to them.
Fuck you.
I don't listen to nobody.
But it's amazing how easy we were all locked down.
And what's scary to me is I think we need to also keep in mind that this is going to cross the government's mind far more often than it ever would have before.
So, well maybe we should just all lock them all in their houses.
I think that's going to be, it's going to become an option on their radar like it hasn't been before.
That's something else we need to think about.
Yeah, I agree.
It is concerning.
It's good.
So, they're going to be a bit more like, well, we locked them down for this.
Let's lock them down for this.
Let's lock them down for this.
It's going to become a thing to think about.
So, that's something else to think about.
But all in all, I still think the world is full of opportunity.
There's still a huge opportunity out there.
There's going to be when this is over.
I teach as much as I can on Copacabana Common and Hustlers University.
I teach every single lesson I learned from making money.
I think there's a big opportunity out there for people who want it.
I think there is money to be made.
But also, a lot of it is down to How you want to make money?
My view on money is you want to have money, but you want to enjoy your life and have freedom, too.
I mean, you don't want to be fucking slaving away.
Man, I knew some bankers when I was living in London, and they were making $40,000, $50,000 a month.
But they had to get the Japanese stock market, the New York stock market, and the London Stock Exchange.
They were in the office from 3 a.m.
until 9 p.m.
And they'd go home and sleep and get straight back out.
Why?
They'd get their suits tailored in the office while they were working.
It was just, okay, it's money.
So you're saying money should make your life better and not shittier?
Yeah, money's a tool for freedom.
If money's enslaved you, then you're not free, are you?
Yeah.
What the fuck do you need money for?
And this is another thing about being a man, or being a human in general, but especially about being a man.
Your 20s and your 30s are your best years.
So would you rather have some money and freedom or loads of money and no freedom at 30?
I know what I want.
I need time to fuck bitches and do what I want and fucking chill and enjoy my life.
I need to drive my supercar around.
Even as dedicated as I am, I still take an afternoon off to go race around in my car.
So you've got to live your life.
Would you say your highest value then is freedom?
Absolutely.
That's the only reason I wanted to be rich.
Like I said, freedom.
I was either completely broke or rich.
I wanted the freedom.
It's the freedom I've been obsessed with.
That's why I went to Sweden.
It's nothing to do with partying and fucking girls.
It's the fact that when everyone was told to stay in their house, I took my nine passports, went to the airport.
I knew I'd wave one around long enough to get on a plane.
Went to fucking Sweden.
Got a five-star hotel.
Walked in the club.
Said, I want the best table.
They said, oh, the best table's for ten people.
The minimum spend is 6,000 euro.
I said, I didn't ask how much it fucking cost.
I said, I want it.
Sat there.
Spent six grand.
Ended up with a whole bunch of hot chicks.
It's the freedom!
I do whatever the fuck I want.
And that's what I like.
I don't like having money.
So there's a few other people on money Twitter and all they talk about is how to save, how to save, how to save, how to save.
Fine.
That's how you know that.
Yeah, those 19 year old millionaires, right?
Oh yeah, of course, yeah.
Don't buy coffee, doors.
But like, where's the life then?
What's the point?
Like for me, it's all about the freedom.
So yeah, you gotta make money, but you gotta enjoy your life.
I'm not saying be stupid with your money.
I'm saying just, you know, enjoy yourself and make sure it's a smart decision.
Don't blow it all away or nothing, but make sure you're enjoying your life and make sure you feel free and be happy because when you're fucking 80, you're gonna regret all the money you saved.
First thing you're gonna do is put back Well, that was dumb.
All the times I didn't go out.
Now I'm about to die.
What the fuck?
You can't take it to the grave.
You've got to enjoy your life.
You know what I find funny is you get so much heat like me, just media attacks you and these people, all these dorks and shit.
But your message is actually very positive if you actually listen to it and look at the fundamentals of it.
It's kind of funny.
No, completely.
I'm absolutely a philanthropist.
I'm trying to help dudes.
I'm a nice guy.
The reason everyone hates me is because I'm happy.
That's why.
They look at me and they go, this dude has supercars and loads of hot women and money.
And you know what?
He's probably happy, that motherfucker.
That's what it is.
Yeah, and you know it and you're not afraid to talk about it.
I'm happy.
My life's great.
Yours is shit.
Ha ha ha.
I'm happy, and if you're happy, you're going to piss off a whole bunch of unhappy people.
Like, all the dorks who come for me, I look at their profile pictures and I'm like, bro, I'd be miserable too if I was you.
If I was you, I'd be doing exactly what you're doing, sitting on Twitter, trying to drag someone down.
Because you're just a miserable fuck.
From behind a cartoon character, too.
Yeah, exactly, exactly.
So, you know, people hate happy people.
And that's fine.
You know, there's going to be haters, but I enjoy it.
I think if I lost all my haters today, I'd be bored.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Haters are fun, man.
It's a lot of they give you.
It's combative and it's fun.
Yeah, absolutely.
Like, where's the fun in showing off if no one gets annoyed?
Yep, exactly.
That's the only reason I fucking do the dumb shit I do to piss everyone else off.
Me and Tristan say all the time, do you want to go to the club?
He's like, not really.
I'm like, yeah, but if we don't go, Broke boys are going to get girls.
Whereas if we go and we buy 20 grand of champagne, every single girl in the fucking clubs at our table, and we get to steal them from every single guy.
So we don't even go for our own happiness.
Who's going to spread unhappiness to other fuckers?
The key to success is being annoying, basically.
Who can be the most annoying?
This is good.
I support this message.
This is great.
Yeah.
Well, if you have an ego and you have a desire and a burning fire to prove your ego and to justify your ego, you're going to be successful.
If you have an ego for no reason, you're not going to be successful because you're going to have a problem working with people and you're going to be a dickhead.
But if you have an ego and you're like, look, I'm the fucking man.
So, okay, I've said it now.
So now I've got to prove to people I'm the fucking man.
That's all I ever did.
I'm going to kick your ass.
It sounds like it's giving you guidance and purpose.
You're giving yourself is what you're doing.
Absolutely.
I'd tell people I was going to knock them out, and after I said it, I better start fucking training.
I said it now.
If you have an ego and you're going to work hard to justify it, then you're going to have a superpower.
There's nothing wrong with having an ego.
There's nothing wrong with just working hard to justify it.
You say you're the man, work hard and prove you're the man.
Done.
It sounds like it's you being a man of your word.
You talk shit, then you back it up.
Exactly.
Exactly.
There's nothing wrong with that.
So, some of the guys are like, kill the ego.
I'm like, why?
Why?
Kill the ego.
If you're going to kill your ego, what's the point in having a good body, a nice car, hot woman, nice house?
It's all stupid.
It's a stupid thing to even fucking say.
I've got a massive ego because I earned it.
Yeah.
I earned it and I've got a big ego and I know I've justified it.
And if you have a problem with it, you can fuck off.
So, there's nothing wrong with having an ego.
Absolutely, it's going to push you and excel you forward.
So yeah, I love going to the club and pissing everyone off.
Because I earned the right to do that.
And I can do that, and they can't.
If they could do that, they'd do it to me.
But they can't.
So fuck off.
That's what it is.
Next question.
I've heard you previously talk about, I don't know when it was, maybe a year ago or something like that, and I'm just going to paraphrase or quote it.
You talked about life being, especially business, being like a river of money, and you have to put yourself at the center of that river and the flow of it.
Can you kind of expand on that, like what that means?
Yeah.
So, it was the coke head who told me this when he was high out of his fucking mind.
And he said, money is like water.
He goes, water is always moving.
It rains, It lands, it goes down the drain, ends up in a stream, it moves down the stream, it goes into a lake, it evaporates, goes up to the clouds, it moves somewhere else, it falls down again.
That's how money works.
Because even if I give you a million dollars today and you spend it, it's still gonna go somewhere.
You buy a car, it goes into the bank account of the car company.
The bank account of the car company need to buy parts.
Goes to another bank account in Taiwan, they buy parts.
They have to pay their staff.
The staff member gets paid wages from your money.
He goes home with his money.
Money is moving.
It's never staying still.
Money is always moving around.
And the point was, if you can identify where money is moving, if you stand in the middle of a process or you stand in the right place, you're going to get wet.
So look at my friend who just launched his Jamaican food thing.
He sat there and was like, okay, people are buying food from home, everyone's stuck from home, money's moving, bang, okay, I'm going to deliver food.
Get in the right place at the right time, and you're going to get some money.
Money is always moving.
It's never still.
You cannot make money.
I don't like when people say make money, because it's not true.
You're not the Federal Reserve.
You can take money from someone else, or they can give it to you.
So how do you get people to give it to you?
Well then, look where they're already giving their money.
These people give their money to this.
Okay, is there any way I can get in between that?
Or is there any way I can launch a competition?
So with me with webcam, I saw dudes giving their money to girls.
I can't compete with the girls.
I ain't got titties.
Okay, so how can I get in between it?
The money's going to girls.
How can I get in between it?
Well, I can convince girls that they will do better with me and I'm going to manage them.
Which is not even, I say convinced, it's true.
I can help the girls make more money.
Now I'm involved in the process.
So the money was already moving to the chicks.
I just stood in the between.
I don't know.
So it's just finding places money moves.
Just whenever you talk to someone, they're talking about money they spent.
Just be like, well, how can I get involved in this shit?
You can do this a million different ways.
You can do it.
I knew, look, I knew dudes who do dumb shit.
Like I knew a guy who was going to buy a car, a brand new car for 98,000.
They say, I'm gonna buy this car, it's 98,000.
And this hustler I knew goes to me, no, no, no, wait, which one is it?
And the guy told him, this car, blah, blah, blah.
He goes, you're gonna buy it from this lot?
He goes, yeah, I'm gonna buy it from this lot.
He goes, bro, I can get you that car for 96,000.
And the guy's like, really?
He goes, yeah, I can get you that car for 96,000, no doubt.
I can get you that car for 96,000.
So the guy told him the car he wanted.
The guy didn't have any kind of connect or nothing.
He just went down to the car lot and said, look, You try to sell this car for $98,000.
That guy's my cousin, but I know he'll buy it for $95,000.
And started fucking going back and forth with the salesman.
Got the price of the car down.
Went back to the guy and said, look, I got the car down for you for my $3,000.
I told you $96,000.
I got to $95,000.
Will you give me a grand?
And the guy paid him.
Now, the guy was like, alright, cool.
Yeah, you saved me $3,000.
Here's a grand.
Because they were friends anyway.
But this is just, that's a hustler's mentality.
Now, the person I know who did that spunked all the way on coke, but he had a hustler's mindset.
He saw money was about to move.
Money is going to go from X to Y. How can I get in between this little interaction?
And it took him 20 minutes at a car lot.
He drove down the car lot, started talking shit, made a grand.
People don't think this way.
People are very, especially in the West, like in countries like Eastern Europe, you see this all the time.
Little hustles.
Like, if I go to park my car, there'll be kids standing in parking spaces.
Kids just stand in parking spaces and occupy them.
And if you give them money, they'll move.
And their parents, their parents put all their kids in parking spaces.
You can't do that shit in the West because the police will come.
It's harder in the West.
But still, the story I told happened in London.
So you've got to always identify where is money moving?
Can I stand in the middle?
And if I can stand in the middle, can I make it?
Can I make money?
And is it worth my time?
Well, I'd say, too, in the West, we've had so much decadence and so much fucking wealth from all kinds of shit, right?
The momentum, the history, the Federal Reserve, all this bullshit.
But in the East, you know, Eastern Europe and stuff, they've had that.
They've had that pressure, right?
They had communism.
They had the Soviet Union.
It was a fucking shitter.
Yeah, you've got to find a way.
There's no government help.
There's no state assistance.
There's no fucking alimony.
There's none of that.
You've got to be today.
Survive.
Survive.
Yeah, that's why there's no liberals here, because liberalism doesn't work in these environments.
Yeah.
I love it, man.
I love it.
Yeah.
I can't wait to go back to Poland, Ukraine.
I want to go to Ukraine next, man.
Romania I'll go to.
I'm excited, man.
I love that part of the world.
Yeah.
But yeah, that's my basic philosophy in regards to the war.
The money's always moving.
So next time you hear about money moving, can you get involved?
Because you probably hear about it all the time.
You don't think about it.
Next time you start thinking, okay, money's doing this.
Money's doing that.
Is there any way?
Maybe I know somebody.
Maybe I can do this.
Maybe I can do that.
X, Y, Z.
It sounds to me like you have the hustler's mindset.
It sounds like a curious mindset.
You're curious.
You hear about money moving.
You get curious.
Where is it going?
Why is it going there?
How can I get involved?
Completely!
It's a very positive, proactive attitude.
Absolutely!
Be curious.
And I'll tell you what, Romanians are amazing at this.
So, if I go to buy something, it doesn't matter what it is.
Let's say I want some construction on my house or whatever.
Every single Romanian I know will be like, no, no, no, bro.
Don't, no, bro.
Let me talk to them in Romanian.
I'll give you a better price.
And what they're really saying is, I'll give you a better price, but I'll build in commission Yep, but if they quote me 10 grand and he calls him in Romanian and then he comes back to me and says eight grand But really they're charging him seven. So he's made a grand off me, but I've saved two We'd win I don't care I'll say friend so this is how they are because they're like they they look for every chance they can get But that's how you're going to be.
If you know someone's about to spend money or you see money moving or you see money being spent, how can you be – and you're not going to do it in an annoying way.
Hey, maybe I can help you save some money or hey, maybe I know a guy.
Hey, maybe I can do this.
You've probably seen – you went to India a while ago and you had – it was a pretty bad experience, right?
Because they do this probably too much to the extreme.
I've seen that.
There's nuts with it.
Yeah, that's right.
As soon as you try to do business with them, everyone knows everyone.
They're all trying to make a fucking commission off you.
Yeah, it's insane.
Yeah, but it's the same mindset.
So, you've got to be working that way, trying to put something together.
Even I did this when I was broke all the time.
I was at one of my girlfriend's houses.
She was talking about needing new windows.
I said, I know a guy who can get you the best windows.
He works for Alliance Windows.
One of my friends works for a window company.
I said, look, he'll come to a free consultation.
Go to that.
I just text my friend, bro, window lead.
They got quote with this much from another company.
Beat that quote, you'll probably get the business.
Give me how much can you give me?
He goes, well, I'll be on about 20% commission.
I'll give you half the commission.
So cool.
It was like one text.
I made like two and a half.
Just from overhearing someone talk about windows.
I knew a dude who did windows.
But most people overhear this shit and it's just like, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah.
They don't think about it.
It doesn't cross their mind.
I was always out for money.
I needed money.
I didn't, I didn't have a job in a long time.
I quit work when I was 23 and I wasn't rich till I was 29.
So for six years, I was just hand to mouth, fighting, beating someone up, hustle here, hustle there.
Just, just trying to find some cash.
I was doing something to find cash.
So, but that's all it is.
That's the Walter philosophy.
When you truly understand that you're going to find gaps.
So, last question before we wrap up here, the final one.
What are some of the worst popular ideas you've seen about money?
Maybe something about luck or some other negative bullshit people believe about money.
What are some of the worst ideas you've seen?
Okay.
So, a lot of the ideas that are propagated are fucking awful.
And the reason they're propagated is because they make things sound simple.
So, Tai Lopez, a famous dude, That's true.
about how much you need to read to get rich.
That is the biggest crock of shit.
I haven't read a book since I was in jail.
I read a book last time I was in jail, like seven years ago.
I don't read books ever.
I'm not saying you shouldn't read, but the idea that you could sit there and read a bunch and end up with money in your bank, I do not agree with.
I think that's just him.
It's a very easy way for his to package.
He has this thing called mentor box where he sells you.
He's putting in crypto and da-da.
It's just, it doesn't add up because action makes money.
Reading theory is completely different to action.
I believe in action making money.
My whole philosophy to money is action.
Here, move, go, do.
Not sit and learn, learn.
I didn't learn anything when I was making money.
When I wanted to launch a webcam business, do you think I sat there and learned things or did I start calling up hoes and buying webcams and say, let's get the fuck to work?
I'm an action man.
I don't believe in research.
You believe in fighting.
I believe in fighting.
Yeah, let's go.
Let's get to work.
So that's the first thing.
This whole read a bunch is garbage.
Next thing, do something you're passionate about.
Now, if you're passionate, you'll have motivation.
But if you're passionate about money, you can do anything.
Do you think the Chinese concrete billionaire jerks off over concrete?
He doesn't give a fuck.
He's getting paid.
So you don't need... Having a passion for your business is great, but I'll sell anything.
Now people think because I sold pussy because I love pussy.
No, I will sell guitars.
I'll sell rocks.
I'll sell dirt.
If you're gonna pay me, I'm gonna sell it.
So I have a passion for money and a passion for profit.
I don't give a fuck what it is.
You know, so that's another thing people are stupid when they throw around.
You really need to love your business.
You should love having a business.
You should love the results.
You don't need to love the actual product itself.
How do you feel about luck?
There is a degree of luck.
There is a degree of luck.
But there's good luck and bad luck for everyone.
So there's definitely a degree of luck.
Like this virus is extremely unlucky.
But then other times, you're going to get lucky.
There's good luck and bad luck.
But I don't think you—because luck is something intangible, it's not something you can predict.
I don't think it should affect how you approach your business.
You have to work as hard as you can and do the best you can regardless of whether you're lucky or unlucky.
It doesn't matter.
You just have to—it's something you can't control.
So if it's not within your realm of control, you shouldn't even think about it.
You should just do your absolute best and you should work your ass off regardless of whether you're a lucky person or an unlucky person.
Yeah, because if you focus on shit you can't control, you're going to expend energy and waste time and effort.
And complete waste of time, yeah.
Anxiety and bullshit, yeah.
Exactly.
And another thing I think people don't understand about money is that you can never truly save yourself rich.
You can only earn yourself rich.
So when I see on Twitter and they're like, uh, how to like this, these Twitter accounts, money advice.
Don't, if you don't, if you don't buy a Starbucks each day and put it in a high interest account in eight years, you'll have $15,000.
Listen, I have 2 million, I have $2.3 million of cars.
So if you, I'm not calculating right here.
So let's say I have $2.3 million of cars.
So let's say you earn $10,000 a month.
And somehow you manage to live your life and never ever ever spend a penny you live for free you eat for free You go to work for free.
You never buy clothes.
You never need transport nothing completely for free It's still going to take you 12 19 years of saving to buy my cars It's just not feasible.
You don't get to the top by saving money you get to the top by earning money Now, I'm not saying don't save money.
I'm not saying be irresponsible.
My point is, if you're sitting there going, how do I be a millionaire?
You should not be sitting there going, I want to be a millionaire so I can save more.
No, you need to be a millionaire so you need to earn more.
There's a big difference.
You're never going to save your way to the top on a normal job.
So, a lot of people call me and go, well, I know if I cut down to my savings, it's like, bro, if you add an extra $15 a week to your savings, it ain't going to change your life in any way.
So, that's one of the other attitudes of money that I think… It sounds like a responsibility thing too.
Earning is self-responsible.
You take the action, you make it happen.
Saving is like offloading it and hoping some bank account makes it for you.
Yeah, exactly.
People say to me like, do you make your money make money?
I'm like, yes, I do.
They go, I want to do that.
I'm like, I bet you do.
They go, okay, well, I've got $5,000.
It's like, bro, If I make 1% on my pot, it's money.
If you make 1% on your pot, it's nothing.
The idea that your money can make you money is a great idea, and it's true, but only at the top level.
You shouldn't be worried about investments until you're already rich.
I didn't consider investing until I already had a lot of money.
Because if you say to me now, 1% a month, I'll sit there and go, okay.
If you told me about 1% a month when I had $24, The fuck?
Like, so you can forget the whole investment idea until you're already sitting on money and you're going, you know what?
I have nothing to do with this money.
I don't want to spend it.
It's quite a lot.
I have nothing to do with it.
Now I look at investments.
But you need to earn your way up there first.
The first thing you should be doing is focusing on earning, and earning as much as possible, in many different ways as possible.
Like I said earlier, trying different things, trying them for free, finding a way to get money in for free.
If it works, maybe put some money at it, grow it, da-da-da.
Get your income streams coming in.
And then you can sit there and go, okay, I've got X amount, and I'm going to try and do something with it.
Fuck yeah.
Well, hey, man.
