Manipulative Noncompetes, Telemedicine Troubles, The Real Cost of Your Daily Starbucks & Our Thoughts on Company Leadership

[00:00:00] entertainment insights.

[00:00:03] Don't take life too seriously.

[00:00:06] Welcome to Brainsky Unleashed.

[00:00:09] This morning I'm laying in bed.

[00:00:13] I'm scrolling through LinkedIn and I saw this thing about the federal

[00:00:18] trade commission or with the non-competes.

[00:00:22] Dude, I'm so excited for people.

[00:00:25] And here's why.

[00:00:26] If you don't have a trade secret in a company, you shouldn't have

[00:00:31] to sign a non-compete anyway, because you don't have anything to share.

[00:00:37] I mean, isn't it non-competed choice anyway?

[00:00:40] Like, I mean, you don't have to sign it.

[00:00:41] Grants, he's probably not going to get the job, right?

[00:00:44] We'll let you go.

[00:00:45] You don't sign it.

[00:00:48] I was manipulated to sign one at that telemedicine company.

[00:00:51] Oh yeah.

[00:00:53] Chris, no, those guys were dicks though.

[00:00:57] Well, they were.

[00:00:59] The problem is the leadership think they knew it all.

[00:01:06] Right.

[00:01:07] Right.

[00:01:08] Be right instead of get it right and make money.

[00:01:11] I'm old enough to remember when you were there and I'm old enough

[00:01:14] to remember all the phone calls that you would give me because you

[00:01:16] were so fricking miserable all the time.

[00:01:19] And like, this was the kind of company where they're like, you

[00:01:21] know what, we're going to charge way too much for our service and we're

[00:01:25] going to price ourselves out of the market because we are so awesome.

[00:01:29] And then they'd be like, Craig, you're not selling.

[00:01:31] Well, yeah, no kidding.

[00:01:32] I'm not selling this.

[00:01:33] The product can't be sold.

[00:01:35] It's it's overpriced, but we're great because awesome.

[00:01:38] Like how stupid is that?

[00:01:40] It wasn't just overpriced.

[00:01:42] I mean the medium and large hospital market.

[00:01:45] We're building the platforms themselves.

[00:01:48] They didn't want or desire to use a third party.

[00:01:52] Well guess what?

[00:01:53] You can't make somebody use you if they don't want you.

[00:01:56] Wait, are you saying that you have to give the market what it needs

[00:02:00] and what it's asking for?

[00:02:03] Yeah.

[00:02:04] Oh my gosh.

[00:02:04] What a concept.

[00:02:06] I really think this is what we need to do on a regular basis, right?

[00:02:09] Because too many companies are failing.

[00:02:12] Nobody wants to admit it.

[00:02:14] There's too much fake nonsense bullshit going on, not just in

[00:02:19] corporate America, the corporate world, corporate Europe, corporate

[00:02:21] South America, corporate, you know what I mean?

[00:02:24] Tell us how you really feel.

[00:02:25] Well, I'm just saying dude, reality is a fricking pain in the butt.

[00:02:30] It's a bitch, right?

[00:02:31] Let's go hire a bunch of people that fit a box because they can be

[00:02:37] manipulated as sheeple, but anybody who has critical thinking skills,

[00:02:42] oh gosh, we can't have them because they might push back.

[00:02:45] So anyway, my point being I was looking through LinkedIn today and

[00:02:49] I thought most about ADHD people and how the vast majority of people with

[00:02:56] ADHD in business are generally speaking, are the highest net worth

[00:03:03] people that have built something from nothing.

[00:03:05] Well, I believe that.

[00:03:05] You know, I think most people who, you know, they profess to be,

[00:03:10] you know, wildly successful.

[00:03:12] And I mean, look, you know, am I a billionaire?

[00:03:15] No, maybe one day.

[00:03:17] Probably.

[00:03:18] The thing is you got to keep trying.

[00:03:20] You don't give up.

[00:03:21] I think too many people give up.

[00:03:22] It dawned on me last night and, you know, we were talking last night

[00:03:25] that nobody's actually producing good content, you know, like there are

[00:03:30] good content producers and most of the good content producers are not

[00:03:35] your really highly successful business people, which to me is crazy.

[00:03:38] I mean, like, like you look at Joe Rogan and the dude could sit there

[00:03:43] and have random ongoing interviews that just go all over the map.

[00:03:49] And he's got like the greatest podcast there was, but then you've got

[00:03:52] like these really brilliant, fairly successful business people who want

[00:03:55] to like give you all this knowledge and they want to share it and they

[00:03:58] want to help you get wealthy.

[00:03:59] They want their business coaches right there.

[00:04:01] They're advisors and like they get 10 views.

[00:04:04] It's like that's because they produce crap.

[00:04:08] Nobody wants to watch it.

[00:04:10] I was like one of my old bosses, Craig, you're

[00:04:12] just a workaholic.

[00:04:14] I wonder, I wonder if Phil Jackson ever said that to Kobe or Michael.

[00:04:18] You know, guys, you're just a workaholic.

[00:04:20] You're at the gym at 4 30 in the morning till seven.

[00:04:23] Then you go home and then you come back at 10 o'clock for team practice.

[00:04:26] You guys are just a workaholic.

[00:04:28] Was this the boss that we, uh, we named your hemorrhoid after?

[00:04:33] We did.

[00:04:34] That's amazing.

[00:04:34] So that's the one.

[00:04:36] Yes, that's the one.

[00:04:38] And I even got it on, uh, I even got it on, uh, either audio or video.

[00:04:43] But yeah, yeah.

[00:04:44] She was like, Craig, you're just a workaholic.

[00:04:46] You just don't stop working.

[00:04:47] You have no work life balance.

[00:04:49] I literally was like, um, is anybody that is truly successful in business?

[00:04:55] Do they have work life balance?

[00:04:57] Cause you can't be part of the elite team if you only work from,

[00:05:01] you know, nine to five.

[00:05:02] I think it's a generational thing.

[00:05:04] You know, so the younger generation really feels like there, there has to,

[00:05:08] has to be some work life balance.

[00:05:10] And to their credit, some of these people are outstandingly wealthy.

[00:05:15] Some of them, because those are the ones that create amazing content.

[00:05:18] Can I have, you know, they can have that like balance.

[00:05:21] So we're talking last night and I found, I was able to prove to

[00:05:26] you last night that children on video testing different prison foods got

[00:05:35] like 53 million views, yet you could take some insanely-

[00:05:39] I just don't understand that.

[00:05:40] Like why people want to-

[00:05:41] But you contrast that and you take like this insanely sage advice,

[00:05:45] advice from guys like Adam Coffee, right?

[00:05:48] Guys who could like literally make you into a billionaire if you

[00:05:50] follow his advice and that may only get a few thousand views.

[00:05:54] Or then you get, you get other like business coaching advice from people

[00:05:58] who may not be as, as, as famous as Adam Coffee.

[00:06:02] And these guys are producing really strong, high value content.

[00:06:07] And they get like 20 views.

[00:06:10] But yet the kids eating prison food will outdo everything.

[00:06:14] So I think the lesson I learned is, um, I think you have to be different

[00:06:18] and, you know, embrace the crazy, you know?

[00:06:21] So like this morning I created a reel and I can't wait to see what it does.

[00:06:25] Um, I created a reel where I'm standing in the mirror, like

[00:06:29] clipping my nose hair, you know, and I accidentally stabbed myself

[00:06:31] in the nose in the process, which is even crazier and I'm willing to bet

[00:06:36] that will actually produce better viewership than anything else I've done,

[00:06:41] which is asinine even, even more so than the cartoon I talked to.

[00:06:45] I hope you were not naked.

[00:06:47] No, uh, but I never want to see you naked again, Craig disclosure, everyone.

[00:06:56] Uh, I love Craig known him a very long time and he and I were doing

[00:07:00] like, you know, like a FaceTime thing, you know, and he puts his phone

[00:07:03] down while we're having a call and the phone is pointed at a mirror.

[00:07:08] Like across the room.

[00:07:10] And next thing I know, my friend is like buck naked, white ass,

[00:07:16] schlong everything and I'm like screaming, get away from the mirror.

[00:07:20] You know?

[00:07:20] Like, I don't need to see that.

[00:07:23] I forgot to wear one's hair.

[00:07:24] That's right.

[00:07:25] With a bang it pushed it to the other way.

[00:07:28] I pushed it the other way so that you wouldn't see me.

[00:07:32] Guess what?

[00:07:34] You have to be careful.

[00:07:36] Thank God I was clean.

[00:07:37] You have to.

[00:07:38] Thank.

[00:07:38] Oh God.

[00:07:39] I, to this day now, now it's like, I brush my teeth.

[00:07:42] I look at myself in the mirror and I think of you and I feel

[00:07:45] like I need a shower every time.

[00:07:48] Hey, what can I tell you?

[00:07:50] A good thing to those who use the mirror.

[00:07:56] Thank you for that.

[00:07:57] Thank you for that.

[00:07:58] Buddy.

[00:08:00] Yeah, I don't know.

[00:08:00] I just think with the old video, uh, it's a media, some of

[00:08:06] the most brilliant content gets like, you know, 22 views out of 330

[00:08:12] million people in the U S.

[00:08:16] You know, blows my mind.

[00:08:18] I had somebody say to me the other day, actually, no, it was last week.

[00:08:21] It was last Thursday.

[00:08:23] Craig in business.

[00:08:24] It's about helping people.

[00:08:27] Number one, they're right.

[00:08:28] It is.

[00:08:29] Um, I said, but if business is a game, how do you keep score?

[00:08:34] And they were like, well, what do you mean?

[00:08:36] Well, they had to ask, what do you mean?

[00:08:38] Number one, and this person's in their forties.

[00:08:41] And I said, um, well, business is a game of profit, you know, EBITDA.

[00:08:49] So if business is a game, the way you keep score is with money.

[00:08:56] They disagreed with me on that.

[00:08:59] I said, well then why don't you just, they're like, it's not all about money.

[00:09:02] Don't disagree with that.

[00:09:03] But if, if, if money's not important in any way, shape or form whatsoever,

[00:09:08] then why aren't you working for the peace corps?

[00:09:11] Business is commerce.

[00:09:12] I mean, it is what it is, you know?

[00:09:13] And, and you know, what's really annoying to me is idealistic person.

[00:09:18] It's not all about money.

[00:09:19] Right.

[00:09:20] Here's the deal.

[00:09:21] Then why aren't you working for the peace corps?

[00:09:22] Right.

[00:09:22] Well, I look because they need a job because they need revenue.

[00:09:27] You know, I mean, there's that.

[00:09:29] The peace corps is a business.

[00:09:32] The peace corps still pays money.

[00:09:34] It just, they didn't like that.

[00:09:36] They didn't like my question.

[00:09:37] Yeah.

[00:09:38] Well, it's not a comfortable question.

[00:09:39] I am just very frustrated right now with companies because the people

[00:09:48] that have responsibilities are just everybody's, everybody's a millionaire.

[00:09:57] Everybody can write a check for a million dollars without a bousy.

[00:10:00] I am so annoyed with LinkedIn.

[00:10:02] Um, I get the point, you know, it's where more business people, they,

[00:10:06] they businessize, but you know, there's such crap like, you know,

[00:10:11] this thing I hate about social media.

[00:10:13] Like they're not real.

[00:10:15] They have problems.

[00:10:16] Don't lie.

[00:10:17] You have problems.

[00:10:18] You have problems monetizing, you have problems with profitability.

[00:10:21] You may have problems with sales.

[00:10:22] You may have problems with service support, manufacturing.

[00:10:25] Everyone's got problems, but everyone like acts on their light.

[00:10:28] Well, you know, we are the greatest.

[00:10:30] I am the greatest thing since sliced bread.

[00:10:32] As a matter of fact, sliced bread has nothing on me because I have an amazing profile.

[00:10:40] You know, in the UK it costs more to buy cheese that's already

[00:10:44] sliced versus a block of cheese.

[00:10:46] Did you know that in Italy, you have to spend money to go to

[00:10:49] the bathroom in most public places?

[00:10:52] You have to spend money to use the toilet in some places.

[00:10:55] I hate that.

[00:10:57] Tell them it's the same way.

[00:10:59] I was always, I have like 25 Euro cents and there's a, you know, some like,

[00:11:04] you know, really large, large lady that's right outside that collects the money.

[00:11:09] Yeah.

[00:11:10] Yeah.

[00:11:10] There's nothing more annoying than having to like shell out a Euro or two

[00:11:13] just to be able to take a dump.

[00:11:15] I hate that.

[00:11:17] First time I heard, first time that I experienced that.

[00:11:20] I was in, uh, Luxembourg and, uh, with my, with my ex-in-law's and, uh,

[00:11:27] went to the bathroom and lays like 50 Euro cents, please.

[00:11:31] I was like, I just need to go to the restroom.

[00:11:34] Yes.

[00:11:34] 50 Euro cents.

[00:11:35] I had to go back to the table.

[00:11:37] Max Fowlerlof laughing.

[00:11:39] He's totally laughing.

[00:11:40] He goes, uh, you need change?

[00:11:44] I go, yeah.

[00:11:46] I was like, unless she wants me to literally piss on her face.

[00:11:50] I mean, I, I, I, I.

[00:11:52] You might get in trouble for that.

[00:11:53] I get in trouble for that.

[00:11:55] But you don't want to give people a golden shower that aren't

[00:11:57] wanting a golden shower.

[00:11:59] I was just like, that is odd that I have to pay two years of toilet.

[00:12:03] And for the audience that doesn't understand the golden shower, I'm

[00:12:06] not actually talking about showering gold since we're on the topic

[00:12:09] of monetary instruments.

[00:12:13] I want to be clear about that.

[00:12:15] Well, you've got a very interesting, like something on your face.

[00:12:18] It's very annoying.

[00:12:19] Yeah.

[00:12:21] It's like a, like a sash.

[00:12:24] Yeah.

[00:12:26] So you Mr.

[00:12:28] My house is under construction.

[00:12:29] Like I have like no place to record.

[00:12:31] So I go for this little nifty little nook that doesn't have like giant

[00:12:35] construction, like bruises all over it and, uh, and the sun will come out tomorrow.

[00:12:41] You know, Craig, uh, there was one time I was in Florence, Italy and

[00:12:45] there was this beautiful, like, like hilltop overlooking the city.

[00:12:50] You know, I got the Duomo out there in the distance, the big cathedral.

[00:12:53] And I had to go to the bathroom and right up there on this hill, I

[00:12:59] had to pay to go to the bathroom.

[00:13:01] Now I'm not unfamiliar with this.

[00:13:02] I've been paying to go to the bathroom the entire week in any part of Italy,

[00:13:06] be it Rome or Pisa or whatever.

[00:13:09] And so I go up to the, to the toilets, you know, and, and I,

[00:13:13] this one really annoyed me because now I actually have to pay a euro

[00:13:18] to squat over a hole.

[00:13:19] How annoying is that?

[00:13:20] Like now you're actually paying a premium to squat over a hole.

[00:13:24] Like, what is that about?

[00:13:26] I should get a discount for that.

[00:13:28] That's exactly why I took that picture when I went to the

[00:13:31] Dubai airport two months ago.

[00:13:33] You walk around in the middle East into a bathroom and you see all

[00:13:36] the water all over the floor.

[00:13:37] You know what that is.

[00:13:38] You know, I, I got to be honest with you.

[00:13:42] I absolutely hate that.

[00:13:44] It blows my mind.

[00:13:45] I'm going to ask you this question.

[00:13:47] All right.

[00:13:47] You're in the middle East.

[00:13:48] You go to Dubai, you go to Kuwait, you go to all these places.

[00:13:50] Right.

[00:13:51] And you go to the bathroom, probably airport bathroom, something

[00:13:53] like that water all over the floor.

[00:13:55] What else do you see in the bathroom?

[00:13:56] Toilet paper.

[00:13:57] No, you see a lot of dudes walking into the bathroom wearing sandals.

[00:14:04] Think about it.

[00:14:06] All this peepee poopy water all over the floor and they're in sandals.

[00:14:13] Like I, I, I go there and it's like, I want to have like waiters on,

[00:14:17] you know, you, you're right.

[00:14:19] Although, although this time I've never spent more than usually six days,

[00:14:24] seven days in Dubai, this time was 12 days.

[00:14:29] And, uh, I did see a lot of Arab men in their srobes, right.

[00:14:34] In their, their head gear.

[00:14:36] Um, I did see a lot of them wearing Reebok and Nike sneakers,

[00:14:41] less sandals this time.

[00:14:42] Listen, there's a reason for that, that they're wearing Reeboks.

[00:14:46] Do you know what it is?

[00:14:48] Because Joe Foster branding.

[00:14:50] Well, it's more than that.

[00:14:52] It's actually, it's actually because, plug there for Joe.

[00:14:59] It's actually because they happen to watch Brainski Unleashed and

[00:15:06] Raw Lessons Revealed, the Joe Foster founder of Reebok.

[00:15:11] That's why the whole middle East is excited about it.

[00:15:15] When they listen to Brainski Unleashed, it's like all shit hits the fan worldwide.

[00:15:20] It's because it's like you're a wild tiger.

[00:15:23] You can't be tamed my friend.

[00:15:24] I just can't.

[00:15:26] You're like the Korean boy and Tommy.

[00:15:29] What the fuck?

[00:15:30] I didn't even know what to do with that.

[00:15:35] Wait, didn't one of those, did one of those guys get eaten by a tiger?

[00:15:38] Like is it?

[00:15:39] You're the freak one with the pear.

[00:15:42] Oh, I got a pear.

[00:15:46] Oh, I got a pear.

[00:15:49] Hey, I'm just telling you.

[00:15:50] You know, kind of like this is kind of like Raw, like Howard Stern and

[00:15:56] Man Cow in the Morning together.

[00:15:59] I could not stomach Man Cow.

[00:16:02] Like to me that's one of those shows.

[00:16:04] This like, I love Howard Stern.

[00:16:05] All right.

[00:16:06] I fucking love Howard Stern.

[00:16:08] I could sit in the car in the morning in traffic and just laugh

[00:16:14] because he's going to say something or something.

[00:16:17] There's something on that show.

[00:16:19] That is so asinine and so immature that I have to, I have to laugh because

[00:16:24] the immaturity is great or he's doing an amazing interview.

[00:16:27] I have to say his interview style is so good.

[00:16:30] You know, he can, he can get things out of people.

[00:16:33] And I sort of like try and model my interview style.

[00:16:36] Uh, obviously I'm no Howard Stern.

[00:16:37] I wouldn't profess to be Howard Stern.

[00:16:39] Um, I'm younger, better looking.

[00:16:42] I'm just saying, uh, but his interview style is so good that he can get

[00:16:46] people to say just about anything.

[00:16:48] And, and I'm, you know, I have, I sort of had that ability, like, you

[00:16:51] know, I'll do that sometimes with like telesales people, like they'll call me up.

[00:16:54] Like I had, I had one situation where I was running my dental lab and yeah,

[00:16:58] why not stop production for this?

[00:16:59] I put the person on the speakerphone so the entire, the entire facility

[00:17:03] could, could enjoy what I was about to do.

[00:17:06] Man, I literally had this woman who called me telling me about her sex life.

[00:17:14] That's awesome.

[00:17:15] Because she was just so comfortable in the conversation.

[00:17:18] I mean, how crazy is that?

[00:17:19] You know, and did you start off the conversation?

[00:17:23] Hi, Chrissy.

[00:17:24] Oh my God.

[00:17:24] I had this, I did have this, I had, I had this one and this dude calls me

[00:17:29] up and I'm like totally ready mess with them and again, stop production.

[00:17:33] Cause I'm that immature at times, but they had, you know, do you want

[00:17:36] to talk about morale?

[00:17:37] Like the team loved this.

[00:17:39] They had such a good time.

[00:17:40] Oh my God.

[00:17:40] HR would have fired me if I ran it.

[00:17:43] Yeah, but you own the company.

[00:17:44] And I mean, listen, full disclosure.

[00:17:46] You know, if, if I'm helping a company out, I would never do

[00:17:51] stuff like this obviously.

[00:17:52] But there was a time where I had this guy call up and it was a

[00:17:57] telesales call and I'm like, Oh my God, your voice, you sound familiar.

[00:18:02] It pauses.

[00:18:02] I'm like, were you that guy at that swingers party that I was at?

[00:18:07] Uh, about a month ago down in Tampa.

[00:18:09] He's like, no, I'm like, you sound really familiar.

[00:18:13] He goes, I'm like, do you live in Tampa?

[00:18:18] And he goes, no, my brother, you might be talking about my brother.

[00:18:23] Totally made it up and like, Oh, that came out.

[00:18:26] Oh my gosh.

[00:18:26] I'm like, wait a minute.

[00:18:27] It might be your brother.

[00:18:28] And so then I, I'll like, you know, I'm like, what's

[00:18:31] he look like downstairs?

[00:18:32] You know, literally been, I would have literally been like, you

[00:18:35] know, dumb, like, what do I say now?

[00:18:38] I just made this up and he's not either a playing along or B.

[00:18:42] It's really happening.

[00:18:43] Oh my gosh.

[00:18:44] Like it was, it was, it was glory.

[00:18:46] Right.

[00:18:46] I mean, like there is a possibility that this guy could be legit and

[00:18:51] his brother could be legit.

[00:18:53] Dude, that's funny.

[00:18:54] Obviously I didn't buy a product.

[00:18:56] Oh, there was another one.

[00:18:58] Uh, I'm telling you, I'm like ruthless to tell us salespeople, even

[00:19:01] though like I've done tell us sales and, and like, if somebody did this

[00:19:04] to me, I would like absolutely have a ball with it, but I had this one

[00:19:08] girl and she, she was, I forget what it was, you know, I feel bad for,

[00:19:14] for like people who, you know, who was like, you know, trying to sell like,

[00:19:17] you know, gas, like, you know, a gas bills and, you know, utility stuff.

[00:19:21] Right.

[00:19:22] So in Pennsylvania, you can choose your supplier, right?

[00:19:25] And so you get all these calls, like, you know, I, and they

[00:19:28] started these calls with like the worst thing they could ever say to

[00:19:31] me, right, which is I'm required.

[00:19:34] To stay on the phone until you get your gas bill.

[00:19:40] Okay.

[00:19:41] You're required.

[00:19:42] You are required to stay on the phone by who it's on now.

[00:19:49] So, you know, I'd like Russell some papers, six hours later,

[00:19:53] it's comfortable, basically, you know, and, and eventually she gets so

[00:19:57] frustrated, you know, but she can't get off the phone, you know?

[00:20:00] And so I hang up on her.

[00:20:01] She called me back.

[00:20:04] Oh, she called me back.

[00:20:06] God bless her for Augusto.

[00:20:08] Now I'm in law.

[00:20:09] Why did the bill?

[00:20:10] What does it, does it do?

[00:20:11] You know, they want to compare your rate to what they can do so they

[00:20:14] could like sell you their service.

[00:20:17] And, and so she calls me back and I'm stunned and she's

[00:20:22] like, you hung up on it.

[00:20:24] And I said, you want to make a sale today?

[00:20:25] She goes, well, yeah.

[00:20:27] How bad do you want it?

[00:20:28] She goes, Oh, I'm going to make a sale today.

[00:20:30] I said, I love your gusto.

[00:20:32] And so again, now I go out of my office, I put the phone on speaker.

[00:20:36] I'm like everyone gather around.

[00:20:38] Here we go.

[00:20:38] And, and so the appointees had some entertainment.

[00:20:42] I mean, listen, you know, there were days that we didn't get as much

[00:20:45] accomplished, but we had a good time.

[00:20:46] Right.

[00:20:47] And, and so they have to listen to this.

[00:20:50] Portinent business, right?

[00:20:52] It's important to have a little bit of fun.

[00:20:54] So anyway, right.

[00:20:55] Let it chuckle a little bit, right?

[00:20:57] Let them have a little bit of, you know, a few minutes of downtime

[00:21:00] and then go back to work and be serious.

[00:21:02] Right.

[00:21:03] Anyway.

[00:21:03] And again, if I was ever coaching your company, I would never behave

[00:21:07] like that, but you know, when it's your own and you're stupid, you do

[00:21:11] things like this when you're younger.

[00:21:13] I've, I've matured a lot as you can tell.

[00:21:15] Um, anyway.

[00:21:18] So what I did is I said, do you remember the movie?

[00:21:22] Um, Jerry Maguire?

[00:21:24] She's like, yeah.

[00:21:25] You remember that scene?

[00:21:26] Show me the money.

[00:21:27] Yeah.

[00:21:28] I said, I want you to yell from me, show me the money.

[00:21:33] And she goes, show me the money.

[00:21:34] I said, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[00:21:37] I want you to yell, show me the money.

[00:21:40] I want to hear it.

[00:21:41] I want to feel it.

[00:21:43] And she's like, show me the money.

[00:21:45] I'm like, no, no, no, no, no.

[00:21:47] I want you to yell it.

[00:21:49] You want this sale?

[00:21:50] You got to earn this sale.

[00:21:51] She screams, show me the money.

[00:21:57] I said, that was awesome and hung up.

[00:22:06] Why the people.

[00:22:07] I love circle people.

[00:22:09] You know, it's being young and doing things like that.

[00:22:18] It's kind of fun.

[00:22:19] And you look back at it and you laugh and then you get older.

[00:22:22] Right.

[00:22:22] And you go, God, that was such an asshole.

[00:22:26] I can't believe I would do that.

[00:22:27] You know, when you're older, you know what's fine?

[00:22:31] Just being able to get to the coffee shop and have a muffin.

[00:22:36] What?

[00:22:38] No, I just, I just, just came to mind.

[00:22:45] I don't know what to do with that.

[00:22:47] And go have a muffin.

[00:22:50] Go have a muffin.

[00:22:51] Do I have to go to a coffee shop for a muffin?

[00:22:53] I mean, that's like an overpriced muffin.

[00:22:55] I don't know.

[00:22:56] Like I can get a muffin from the Sam's club.

[00:22:59] You can get like a vat of muffins for like the same price

[00:23:02] you could pay for a Starbucks muffin.

[00:23:04] As a matter of fact, they don't have gluten free muffins.

[00:23:09] Sam's club muffins are like probably more sugary and more yummy and more moist.

[00:23:15] Like, man, some of these things you get from like Starbucks are

[00:23:18] like big beautiful looking muffins, but yet they are dry.

[00:23:22] So my sister Shelby worked at Starbucks part time.

[00:23:28] She said the, they did a, the store manager did an average of just random

[00:23:32] one day, what was the average amount?

[00:23:35] They, they, they took the total amount of sales divided by, um, divided

[00:23:42] by the number of people, right?

[00:23:46] Yeah.

[00:23:46] Or drive through maybe they just did it for the drive through.

[00:23:49] Anyway, it came out to the average person spent $8 and 23 cents a transaction.

[00:23:58] Dude, what in the hell?

[00:24:02] Which, Shelby said sometimes these people come Monday through Friday

[00:24:07] every single day, like they know them by first name.

[00:24:10] Okay.

[00:24:10] What was that?

[00:24:11] What was that?

[00:24:11] They're like, Oh hi, good to see you this morning.

[00:24:13] Hold on.

[00:24:14] What was that number?

[00:24:16] $8 and 23 cents.

[00:24:17] All right.

[00:24:18] Here we go.

[00:24:18] So 8.2.

[00:24:20] Monday through Friday.

[00:24:21] Two, three.

[00:24:21] Right.

[00:24:22] So that's five days, right?

[00:24:23] So an individual five days in a week.

[00:24:27] So that's, that's $41 and 15 cents in a week, right?

[00:24:31] A week.

[00:24:32] All right.

[00:24:32] And there's 52 weeks.

[00:24:34] Let's, let's say that they take a two week vacation, right?

[00:24:36] So, so that's 50 weeks in a year, right?

[00:24:43] That's what they're giving Starbucks for coffee and a muffin.

[00:24:48] My sister, my sister was floor.

[00:24:50] She was like, and even the, even the manager, the store manager was

[00:24:53] like, there is no way the majority of people can really afford dollars

[00:25:04] and 23 cents a day.

[00:25:06] Here we go.

[00:25:07] Here we go.

[00:25:07] You ready for this?

[00:25:08] We are going to change the world.

[00:25:09] I'm going to make people millionaires like right now.

[00:25:11] You ready for this?

[00:25:13] And are you going to type it into that calculation?

[00:25:15] I am.

[00:25:15] Yeah.

[00:25:16] So I'm going to take that number, right?

[00:25:18] What is that?

[00:25:19] Wait, tell the website.

[00:25:21] All right.

[00:25:21] Tell them.

[00:25:22] Yeah.

[00:25:22] Hold on.

[00:25:23] Okay.

[00:25:23] $2,000 and 57 dollars and 50 cents.

[00:25:25] Dude, there's, I could spend two grand on something a lot better than

[00:25:28] $8 coffee and a muffin every day.

[00:25:31] So, so we're just, we're going to drop the 50 cents, right?

[00:25:33] We're going to say $2,057 for one year.

[00:25:37] Right?

[00:25:38] So $2,057 in a year.

[00:25:40] If you didn't go to Starbucks in that year and spent that, right.

[00:25:45] Then you take that, you know what I spent for coffee a day?

[00:25:48] And this is three sets.

[00:25:49] Yeah.

[00:25:50] So this is investor.gov is very simple.

[00:25:52] Right?

[00:25:53] So we're going to take $2,057.

[00:25:57] Okay.

[00:25:58] As an initial investment.

[00:26:00] All right.

[00:26:01] And then we're going to, we're going to contribute monthly to that.

[00:26:05] So, so what was it?

[00:26:07] Was 40, $41 a month and a $41 a week.

[00:26:10] Right.

[00:26:10] $41, 57 cents a month.

[00:26:12] 41 a week.

[00:26:14] Right.

[00:26:15] So 4167 was it?

[00:26:24] Okay.

[00:26:25] You know, we're just going to say $41.

[00:26:27] $41 a week.

[00:26:30] Right.

[00:26:31] Okay.

[00:26:32] Yeah.

[00:26:32] He got like 23 cents a day times five.

[00:26:34] That's like $21 a week.

[00:26:35] $164.

[00:26:36] So we're going to do $164 a month beyond that.

[00:26:39] Right?

[00:26:39] So 164.

[00:26:42] And let's just say someone's got maybe another 30 years left before they retire.

[00:26:49] Right?

[00:26:49] Sure.

[00:26:50] Yeah.

[00:26:50] Cause I'm fairly young, we're blowing all this money.

[00:26:53] Easily anyone can get an interest rate by the way of like 10%.

[00:26:56] Trust me on that one.

[00:26:57] Let's just say, let's just go to customer and say 8%.

[00:27:01] No, you could.

[00:27:01] Dude, I get 10% consistent.

[00:27:04] I agree with you, but let's go, let's just go ridiculously conservative and just say 8%.

[00:27:08] I'm going to meet you in the middle.

[00:27:09] We're going to go 9%.

[00:27:11] All right.

[00:27:11] Fair enough.

[00:27:12] Yeah.

[00:27:12] We're going to 9%.

[00:27:13] All right.

[00:27:13] So we're going to compound this month's 9% interest.

[00:27:15] Yeah.

[00:27:15] We're going to compound this monthly at 9% interest.

[00:27:20] Ready?

[00:27:21] At the end of 30 years, $330,000 and change.

[00:27:27] That's only on $164 a month.

[00:27:29] Instead, people give all of that to Starbucks.

[00:27:33] Look at that.

[00:27:33] I just created like multimillionaires right there because he could get 100%.

[00:27:37] You get to like put more away and just do that with compound interest.

[00:27:40] Just do that alone and you're fine.

[00:27:44] You know what these are?

[00:27:45] I have no...

[00:27:46] What is that?

[00:27:47] Like a coffee pod thing?

[00:27:49] Yeah.

[00:27:49] Yes.

[00:27:50] And espresso.

[00:27:51] Right?

[00:27:51] This is my high.

[00:27:52] So what did that cost versus a couple of Starbucks?

[00:27:56] $0.84.

[00:27:57] $0.84.

[00:27:58] Should I do the compound interest on that?

[00:28:01] Exactly.

[00:28:02] Right.

[00:28:02] But I mean, $0.84 compared to like $5 a day, $7 a day.

[00:28:08] I was shocked that the average person where they just randomly took a day

[00:28:13] sales and just did the cut, the average person was spending that day.

[00:28:16] It was like on a Tuesday or Wednesday or whatever it was.

[00:28:19] $8.23 was the average transaction total.

[00:28:24] At a Starbucks.

[00:28:26] At a Starbucks.

[00:28:26] In Houston.

[00:28:28] In Georgetown, Texas.

[00:28:30] In Georgetown, Texas.

[00:28:33] Yeehaw.

[00:28:36] I just was like, I got better things to spend my money on than overpriced

[00:28:41] coffee that tastes bitter and a muffin and a cake pop.

[00:28:49] I have no problem with Starbucks.

[00:28:50] Like, you know, I, you know, I buy one once in a while, but there's no way I

[00:28:57] can, I mean, this is what's funny.

[00:28:58] You and I bow for the audience.

[00:29:01] We know liquid net worth nine figure people that can literally write a

[00:29:07] check for $400 million and the sucker won't bow.

[00:29:11] Right.

[00:29:13] Then you Starbucks or Caribou coffee or specialty coffee, like twice a month.

[00:29:20] But you know what's interesting?

[00:29:20] Cause now that you bring it up.

[00:29:21] And they can afford it.

[00:29:22] But, but now that you bring it up, we've been in rooms with these people.

[00:29:26] We've been in rooms with these people.

[00:29:28] High, high, ultra high net worth, right?

[00:29:31] Oh my gosh.

[00:29:31] You know, coffee's in their hand.

[00:29:33] But what we make it a freaking year, they make it like 17 minutes.

[00:29:37] Sure.

[00:29:38] But you know what coffee is in their hand when we're in these rooms?

[00:29:42] The free hotel coffee.

[00:29:43] Boom.

[00:29:45] Yeah.

[00:29:47] Because they under, when you work for your money, you don't pick it away.

[00:29:52] Oh my gosh.

[00:29:53] What a concept.

[00:29:53] And I, and I'm trying to tell Mike that I'm like, don't just spend your money on

[00:29:59] stuff because it's convenient.

[00:30:00] Although that is okay.

[00:30:03] But you do it when you can afford it and it doesn't, it doesn't put a

[00:30:07] debt in your bank account.

[00:30:09] Right.

[00:30:11] Right?

[00:30:11] Like my daughter the other day did Uber Eats for school.

[00:30:16] I go expensive.

[00:30:17] You spent, I said, you spent 20, I think it was $28.

[00:30:24] For like an $11 Chipotle.

[00:30:29] Drag the Chipotle and spend the $11 and maybe the, you know, 90 cents each

[00:30:37] way worth of gasoline because you had a two hour break in the middle of

[00:30:43] your day before your next class.

[00:30:45] Oh my gosh.

[00:30:47] She's like, well, I was seeing homework and I didn't want to leave.

[00:30:49] I said, I'm telling you right now, you do that every week for a year.

[00:30:54] By the way, she doesn't, but he did it this one time, which again, once in a

[00:30:58] while, but again, even once in a while you literally spent like 200% more.

[00:31:06] You can just tell a society that it's soft because they don't want to

[00:31:12] do the uncomfortable thing.

[00:31:15] Can you imagine like our grandparents?

[00:31:17] Like my grandparents were survivors of the great depression.

[00:31:22] My dad.

[00:31:23] No, no.

[00:31:24] I mean, I blow money like a rock star compared to my grandmother who would

[00:31:29] like write dates on like everything she would shoot, like writing dates on

[00:31:32] like a bag of rubber bands, you know, they can expire and yet, you know,

[00:31:41] we, we got kids who would go to do over eats to bring something into school.

[00:31:45] It's like crazy.

[00:31:47] So I'm going to, I'm going to share

[00:31:47] the soft kind today.

[00:31:49] Create weak people.

[00:31:51] It's true.

[00:31:52] Today, speaking of children today is my kid's birthday.

[00:31:57] Yay.

[00:31:57] They're nine.

[00:31:59] Nine.

[00:31:59] I know.

[00:32:00] So I can't leave their night.

[00:32:02] So my son, there was a bag with a gift in it, you know, and he gets up

[00:32:07] at like six o'clock in the morning.

[00:32:09] This morning?

[00:32:10] Yeah.

[00:32:10] And he like looks in the bag.

[00:32:13] Right.

[00:32:14] He wants to know what's in there.

[00:32:16] He wanted this gift so bad.

[00:32:18] And so he's looking at the bag.

[00:32:19] So, so it's like seven o'clock in the morning comes into our room.

[00:32:23] First of all, he's like peeking in the room several times.

[00:32:25] My wife and I are like playing like fake and sleep, right?

[00:32:27] Sticking his head in.

[00:32:28] He's all excited, you know?

[00:32:30] Okay.

[00:32:31] And, and so he comes in and my wife's brushing her teeth and he's

[00:32:35] like, I know what's in the bag because I felt the bag and I

[00:32:41] know it's what I wanted.

[00:32:44] Yeah.

[00:32:44] You looked at it.

[00:32:45] And I'm like, why don't you be more honest?

[00:32:50] Your son and my son must have had a conversation this morning.

[00:32:52] I know, right?

[00:32:52] And he's like, okay, I looked in the bag.

[00:32:56] Yeah, that's awesome.

[00:32:57] He's going to look up to it.

[00:32:58] I thank you so much for being honest, you know?

[00:33:01] And, and so to have a little bit of fun with it, at one point,

[00:33:06] yeah, he wasn't in the kitchen.

[00:33:07] And so what was, you know, what was in the bag?

[00:33:09] We got him like, he wanted this like Batman costume.

[00:33:12] And so he kid likes costumes.

[00:33:14] I don't know why, but he likes costumes.

[00:33:15] I'm so in trouble.

[00:33:17] Kid's going to be cosplay.

[00:33:18] I guarantee it.

[00:33:19] His wife will like it.

[00:33:20] Yeah.

[00:33:23] And, and so what I did is he wasn't in a room.

[00:33:25] And so like I re, I took, I took like the wrapping stuff out of the bag.

[00:33:29] And I put another costume in the bag, one that he already had, and I rewrapped it.

[00:33:33] So that way when he goes to open it in front of us, it's actually

[00:33:36] not what he was expecting, you know?

[00:33:38] Oh my God.

[00:33:41] He opens this thing up and he's like, getting, that's the dude

[00:33:45] what it's supposed to be.

[00:33:46] He got all upset and he goes on a hunt for the right gift.

[00:33:49] Right?

[00:33:50] And so as he's on his hunt, throw the regular gift back in there,

[00:33:54] rewrap it again and I said, okay, all right here, buddy.

[00:33:57] Why don't you now?

[00:33:58] I said, I fixed the wrapping.

[00:34:00] Okay.

[00:34:01] Why don't you open it up?

[00:34:02] And he opens it up and he gets all excited.

[00:34:03] It's the, it's the, it's the gift that he wanted.

[00:34:06] Oh, that's super awesome.

[00:34:07] I torture my children.

[00:34:09] Yeah.

[00:34:10] I love it.

[00:34:11] All right.

[00:34:11] I gotta get ready for a phone call.

[00:34:13] Hey, it's great.

[00:34:14] Let's, uh, you know, we need to do this again.

[00:34:16] More on, you know, I'm okay.

[00:34:19] Doing this three times a week because we just get a lot of stuff off our chest

[00:34:22] and we talk about things that people think, but they're not necessarily

[00:34:26] willing to verbalize.
