He shares his insights , decoding what's really happening in the world with the money , the Fed online business matrix and how you yes , you can escape your current reality .

right now . Let's get off All right . One year earlier , post from March 25th 2021 , said discipline is for losers . What was that ?

I don't wanna be a person that's always focused on being disciplined . I wanna be a person that has mastered self-regulation , A person that has mastered being able to say yes , being able to say no and then simultaneously , being able to play with the balance of balance .

Most people apply self-discipline and they neglect so many beautiful things that they could experience in life because , oh well , I just gotta be hard on myself . No , no , necessarily .

You just have to self-regulate , understand how to manage your life and understand that it's a lot more enjoyable when you are a person that has self-control as opposed to a person that is just following a set of rules over an extended period of time .

It's about understanding that if you have too much of a good thing and you don't apply this self-regulation , it can be negatively affecting you .

Because it's a communal effort that applies over the course of five , 10 , 20 years .

So , for example , I go fuck a bitch , get that girl pregnant . I can't reverse that decision , it's done . My life will fundamentally be different . Had I self-regulated and kept my dick in my pants , I would have been able to avoid decision-making right and consequences that will fundamentally change my life .

So in the self-regulation process that I apply , I always avoid things that I can never fundamentally change . So I like to be able to . If I make a decision , because I can't see 20 years in the future , right , so those have real-world consequences , these decisions . So I wanna make sure that any decision that I make has a reversibility factor to it .

So you have your short-term objectives in order to complete your long-term mission . Yeah , of course .

two perspectives . What I tell people in the first side of the coin is make it so hard to lose that it becomes easy to win . So if you have junk food in your house and you're overweight , then what you're doing is you're creating a battle that shouldn't be there , right ?

So what I need to do is remove all sort of distractions and understand that I have a goal in mind . But most people they enjoy to do the things that fucked them up . They enjoy to do things that aren't gonna push them forward because they have no objectives and no goals . That's one side .

And then the other side is understanding that there's real factors of addiction , real factors of psychological warfare that apply into how we operate , that control us . So , for example , how do you know that going out and partying and drinking is the ultimate version of fun If you haven't experienced a plethora of versions of fun ?

If all you know is that , then that's what you're gonna revert to . So what I tell people is don't fall into the bullshit , don't fall into the sigh of what somebody else has told you is enjoyable . Go and explore multiple things and don't become a slave to anything . The moment you become a slave to something you lost .

How important is that for you to be mobile and flexible ?

If I'm figuring out when do I have to pay the mortgage , when does the gardener have to come home , how do I maintain my cars yeah , some people want these difficulties and these troubles .

I just find so much peace and tranquility in having an open schedule , having freedom of mind so that I can develop myself , and if I'm not focusing on leveling myself up , then I find it uncomfortable . And it usually comes when I'm obliged or obligated to do certain things that are maintenance type things , and I wanna stay away from that .

Cause people will say that the earlier years of your development will have a big impact for the rest of your life .

That's why , when you're five years old , they ask you hey , what's your dream job ? Not , hey , who do you wanna become ? What type of friend do you want to be ? How do you develop a moral compass ? No , no , no . What type of job do you want ? What's your dream job ?

So you're automatically conditioned and wired from an early age , so understanding that you can also reverse it . And what people don't understand is that there's a deep programming process , right , and there's an antivirus that you need to apply in a filtration system as to how you operate . I call it the filtration system of truth , right ?

You can use a scientific method , you can use different mental frameworks that let you arrive to a conclusion . And what I've understood in my career , in my life , is that oftentimes people don't stop , they don't think and they don't evaluate the long-term consequences of their decisions .

And if they did just stop for five minutes and ask themselves whoa , is this actually good for me ? Is this serving me ? And many times when you answer no , you're like okay , well , it doesn't serve me . Now , as an intelligent individual , even if I stumble and fall and I mess up , at least I'm self-aware .

Does that make sense ? And as a combination you can , but it's the situation that has put you in a position for you to be able to reverse into your life .

And what you have to do is realize that in that decision-making process what you're doing is self-sabotaging and what you can do is make short-term commitments , test things out , evaluate whether it is or isn't for you , and if you realize , hey , you know what , this isn't necessarily what I want in life , then you can change .

I wouldn't tell a person , hey , don't go to move to New York , don't go spend 10 grand in an apartment , don't go . I wouldn't say that Go do it , test it out . Maybe it's for you , maybe it's not for you , but don't be afraid to test it out . But then don't be afraid to say , fuck off , I'm gonna go try something new .

And these are the lies , these are the deceits and these are the self-thoughts that kind of enter somebody's mind that aren't true . So , for example , let's say somebody's working a finance job Say they don't enjoy it . In their mind they're like well , I still need to pay for bills . Therefore , this is what I have to do . No , no , no , no .

The reason you have to pay for bills is because you brought those bills upon yourself 100% . So if you don't want the responsibility , because you don't want the gig , you don't want the job , then what you need to do is unwind that process .

And once you unwind that process , then you have mental clarity once again , mental real estate in order to make good decisions .

That's when I discovered Mansearch for Meaning and I was reading that , studying that really closely , and I began to realize what I wanted .

Now that wasn't building a business at the time , it was something social , it was interaction , and that's how it started and that was the big philosophy was the fact that I could think for myself clearly , and that still became a multi-year process to get there .

So my kind of concern with this sometimes is the fact that people meet the wall of resistance and then they realize then this is difficult and instead of sticking with their process , they'll just fuck off , and it's up to you .

Or did you buy into the lie that hard work or that hitting yourself against the wall is a bad thing ? And what I've come to realize is that there's two types of pains in life right , the pain of discipline , or the pain of self-regulation , where you actually take control of your life and it hurts .

Right , like you did professional weightlifting , you did professional training . There's a process . You probably hit plateaus of physique , you probably hit times where you hurt your body and you had to repair . These are challenges Most people would quit . But then you have the pain of regret .

And then the pain of regret weighs so much more because it weighs in your mind .

And what I've come to understand is that if you can self-regulate and you can go through the pain of exploration , go through the pain of not knowing , go through the hardships of uncertainty which comes with entrepreneurship and comes with paving your own way , it's a lot better than the pain of regret that most people end up experiencing when they don't take control

of their lives . What do you regret ? Nothing .

And that's the most important thing that I've truly learned in my life is that not only can I determine who I am , but in the future tense , I can , through my actions , determine who I will become .

I need to learn why I'm doing what I'm doing . So I spent literally eight months sitting around a fire , every single day . I had a fireplace in my house just thinking , thinking about why I'm doing things , why I want things in life . Who do I want to have these things with ? What type of things I enjoy ?

And you begin to learn more about yourself the more you spend time with yourself . Most people they sit in the car , they turn on the radio , blast that motherfucker loud , dude , noise , distractions they can't sit with themselves five minutes . They can't handle it .

And it's a process of realizing that if you're by yourself and you feel lonely , then you have a lot of self-work to do . I enjoy being by myself . I enjoy being in my mind because I'm learning who I am . Most people go through life not knowing anything about themselves .

They think that they're their name , they think that they're this three dimensional piece of flesh that walks around . They think that they're their nationality or their religion . No , these are things that have been put upon you , and once you break away from these things , once you understand that you truly are a limitless individual , then the game begins .

But you have to get to the point where you believe these things . The Bible says it best . Bible says as a man thinketh in his heart , so is he . So it all starts in the mind , because the mind leads to actions , actions lead to habits , habits lead to lifestyle .

So if you want to change your lifestyle , you need to retroactively change your mind , and that's the starting point , that's the catalyst

of all things .

So when I was younger , I would jump into these businesses or jump into these ideas without thinking the why or even like the how , and that actually helped to get to a certain point , but I feel like to literally transcend them , become even like , become better .

You need to take a step back , and the challenge I have then is being able to balance the time think with the time to action . You ever struggled with something like that ?

I want to follow my conscious , I want to follow my consciousness , I want to follow my decision-making process , I want to follow my morality . And in order to get to these places , I need to discover them , and nobody's going to discover them for me . You go to a church . What some preacher's going to tell you ?

On a padded , on a padded pew , with the air conditioning , who God is , what God wants from you . Why can't you speak to God yourself ? Why can't you have a relationship ? If that guy could , why can't I ? And once you understand that what's available for other men is available to you , you begin to have a real journey towards self exploration of self .

Well , the reason I don't like brick and mortar is because my grandmother used to own a bakery and I saw her slave away . But does that mean that every brick and mortar business is going to be that way ? No , no , no , luke . So what am I going to do ? Am I going to have a brick and mortar business ? Well , no , not necessarily .

Well , what are my skill sets , luke ? Okay , well , my skill sets are digital marketing , marketing , entrepreneurship . I'm really good at leadership . I'm really good at understanding social media Okay , so maybe digital businesses are better for you ? Okay , digital businesses are better for you . Which one ? Well , what are the trends there ?

And you just go through the rabbit trails and you have these conversations that most people are not willing to have with others , let alone with themselves . They just want somebody else to answer things for them . That's why , when you see , the comment section is riddled and filled with idiots that think that they have the answers but they're .

All they're doing is regurgitating . Well , another person , another follower , has told them is the truth , and I refuse to live that way .

from ages zero to seven , is the determining factor . Had I been raised in an environment where money was prevalent , where wealth was abundant , I would have had a different perspective . I had to retrain myself to see the abundance in the world . I had to retrain myself to see potential and opportunity .

When you come from Argentina , $200 in the suitcase that's what I came to America with . I , even though I knew there was potential , I still had a scarcity mindset . What's the difference between somebody that looks at $1,000 and says , wow , that's a lot of money , versus somebody that says , oh , that's chump change , that's not a lot of money ?

There's a difference in mindset and it's not just arrogance , it's a difference in upbringing , it's a difference in perspective , it's a difference in worldview . So what I realized is that the worldview that I was given was a worldview that was propagated by governments , that was propagated by individuals that wanted to keep me down .

That's why , when you stand at the age of six , you get into the classroom , first thing they tell you put your hand on your heart and pledge allegiance . Not pledge allegiance to yourself , not pledge allegiance to your purpose and your self development , not pledge allegiance to a flag .

But what I noticed and this is why individual sports is really interesting is because I was like a sprinter when I was younger and my parents gave me a lot of opportunity with that , but it will be quite harsh , right , you know , we're true , we're there to win . That's another idea , and when you win , you take full accountability .

When you lose , you also are the reason why you lost . You are the reason why you're in that position , whereas you contrast that to , maybe , classrooms or team sports . When you won , it's everyone's winner , but when it's someone loses , they usually try to point something out or something around the area .

So I think having that individuality allows you to again think for yourself clearly and for me it's been an ongoing process . Every single day Need to look at some piece of information and see is it real or not ?

Every person is self made . Every single person is self made , because you are a construct of what your thoughts and your decisions . Nobody told you that you had to go do something . Nobody told you that you had to think a certain way . And if you did , and somebody told you that , are you a slave or are you a free person ?

And if you understand that you have freedom and sovereignty , now you understand , like you said , you're fully accountable for every decision that you make . And when you're successful , oh , you want all the praise , right . When you're successful , hey , look at me , look what I did . I'm fully responsible for this .

But it's the same thing with lack of success and it's the same thing with failure . And most people , when they fail , they don't like to look at themselves in the mirror and say you know what ? Maybe I have to change . People want change to happen to them . They don't want to change . And when you realize that change isn't going to happen to you ,

you need to actually proactively determine your future . Then , and only then , can you actually take not only full accountability for your good actions , your bad actions , but for your full life .

So enjoy life , don't take it so seriously , and enjoy the process of experiencing every potentiality that life has to offer . And when you begin to take yourself less seriously , when you begin to enjoy life just like kids do , dude , why can't ? It goes back to the responsibility . Luke , why did you sell your house ? Why did you sell your fleet of cars ?

Why is it that you love just being liquid and being able to move around ? Because I don't like the responsibility and the burdens of things that hold other people down , and I think there's a lot of power in that .

the inability to become free . So , as a result , they're these incredibly wealthy individuals and they'd have lost all their freedom .

Or are all these things compromised over imaginary paper that you don't even own , you don't even control , that at any moment can be seized and taken away from you ? And it's not only that , but it's also people attach their identities to those things .

So once you attach your identity to things that are fleeting , if you don't attach your identity to anything that's anchored in truth , anything that's lasting , then you're gonna live a quite miserable life .

It's hard to believe when your mama's working a nine to five or two jobs that you can actually retire her in a couple of years . It's hard to believe these things .

But if you can actually sit there and have a conversation with yourself and believe that all things are possible , then everything is possible Because , like I said , it all starts with the mind and the mind is the controlling factor of everything .

The mind is like the steering wheel of your life and if you can't take control of your mind , somebody else will control it for you .

And the people that understand how to control minds mind controls are real thing they understand how to move people with fear All right , we saw it With negativity , with anxiety , with comparison and once you can take control of your mind and believe that all things are possible , the sky's the limit .

being a scam and having a decade or two decades long of like misinformation . Do you think that there'll be a decline in traditional media and a rise in I would call it , personal media companies , which is like you myself , this podcast or do you think that pendulum swing will ? They'll infect it ?

Basically , in reverse , because these big media companies are so large , They'll infect it .

You saw that become corrupted and censored and manipulated over time . You saw it in the beginning of the internet . People had a great time on the internet . People weren't as censored . People could actually speak their truth .

Today you go on Instagram , you write on a comment , bitch , and that will get deleted , right , because of bullying , because of bullying , right . So technological advancements initially are kind of waves of freedom and then eventually they kind of get condensed and censored .

So we are in a gap over the next three to five years where personal brands and these micro communities and these online kind of personas are trending and are popular .

But eventually , at the end of the day , there's gatekeepers to social media platforms , there's gatekeepers to access of information and , like I said , most people if they wanna learn anything about Luke Belmar , they'll just go to Google and type Luke Belmar and they assume that that's true , that that's the reality of Luke Belmar and it's just . It's really just not .

It's so far from the truth because it's controlled , it's managed and it's segmented from truth in reality . So I think right now , yes , absolutely , people would fucking hate the media .

But what is holding the media from just controlling a ton of individuals at a personal level and running their podcasts and controlling the narrative at an individualistic level under the guise of individualism and personal brand ? So you look at , for example , kind of Mr Beast and his crew right , they're all individual personal brands , cool .

But who are they managed by Night Media , okay , and who's Night Media ? Owned by Disney . So you basically have glorified Disney kids that have contracts that they have to say certain things , that they have to run certain agendas and they don't really have a choice . Shout out to Mr Beast at the school .

It happened , tate happens , everyone happened . A lot of the scientists coming out from COVID . They're just gone right , wiped off to face it on our internet .

So when you have individuals that want to get their message out bad enough , not because

of money , not because of any sort of agenda beyond spreading truth , that's very hard to sense . I mean , right now we manage over 3,000 accounts . Right ? That's all Luke Belmar content . We post a video every , probably about every 60 seconds . My goal is to reduce that to about once every five seconds . So how can you ban that ? How can you censor that ?

It's very hard to censor . Yeah , you may censor a couple pages , main pages . You may run a couple articles and talk down on certain individuals , but with sheer power and sheer numbers , it's unstoppable . There's no algorithm that can break .

So a lot of people they go and create content with facades . They go and create content not being who they are , not showing the reality of their situation , not showing their vulnerabilities . I don't give a fuck . Like I said in the beginning , it doesn't matter what people think . We're all gonna die anyway . So I've already accept this as a reality .

So what somebody comments about me becomes insignificant and obsolete the moment I kind of put it into perspective . So yeah , dude , I think my main strategy was , first of all , becoming a person that was potentially worth listening to .

That I had some ideas or some philosophies that are worth spreading , and people resonate not with me , they resonate with truth , they resonate with what is real , and most people have that ingrained deep down . They were like oh well , that sounds , that makes sense . That makes sense .

It's not that Luke's a G , it's like oh no , he's just sharing something that I actually fundamentally , truly believe in Perspective shifting .

And then on the other side , you have people that kind of get bothered by my comments and you have people that get bothered by what I believe , and once again , it's because it's a disrupting factor to their current situation . And what I've come to find out is that most people attach their identity to their ideology .

So if you can detach your ideology from your identity and allow people to give you new data sets , allow you to are allowed to probe your thoughts or criticize your philosophies and worldviews , then you should welcome it and it's a process of self development . Yeah , dude .

Question for you off that is do you think like men are still lacking that role model and that influence ?

And if people don't join me for the journey , then it's totally cool . When you look at Socrates , aristotle , plato now they're popular . They were murdered . They were murdered for their worldview . They were killed . They were crucified .

They were burned at the stake for their philosophies , for their desire to change reality , and sometimes that's what's required in order to change the world . So what's cool ? Today , people like Leonardo da Vinci . They look at him as a genius , but back in the day nobody liked him . They thought he was a weirdo .

He was just a guy that was painting the last supper in some random mural . That was a paid commission , but today it's priceless , right . So the perspective changes as time goes on , and if you wanna be a genius , you have to be able to stomach being misunderstood , and I'm totally cool with that .

In exchange for what ? Food , safety , security and a place to live . But the peasants only worked 150 days out of the year . The rest of the year they had free . They kinda did whatever they wanted . They didn't work during the winter .

So why is it that all these free people are working 300 days out of the year and have nothing to show for it , except the exact same things that the slaves or the excuse me , the peasants back in the day had to show for it , which was food , maybe a little bit of security , maybe not if you're in London right and in home that you don't even own .

So when I tell people , hey , you're a peasant , they're like no , I'm not a peasant . Okay , you're worse than a peasant . You're a fiat slave because you're working and running around in that rat race that was constructed to keep you subjugated and controlled because the people .

Well , whether it's the bankers or the people that kinda control the narrative and it's not just one individual , it's thousands and thousands and thousands of people and lineages and dynasties and that understand how to control individuals , realize that it's a lot better and easier to have a slave work for you under the premise that they're free and that they're working

for themselves , than to whip them into submission , because it's not ROI positive to whip your slave into submission to demoralize him , to make him weak . No , no , no . You want the cow to produce a lot of milk , so you gotta keep pumping it , pumping it and pumping it .

And people realized very later on in kind of reality that this system was kind of fucking you up and you had the introduction in 2009 of Bitcoin . Bitcoin is kind of that first competition of sound money that we've had since 1913 .

And that would be probably in the last 100 years , the two catalyst points that I think people should be focusing on , because people wake up and they wanna work for money , but then you ask them what is money ? And they don't know how to define what is money . Who makes it ? Who prints it ? Who allows there to be $6 trillion printed into circulation ?

So , under the premise that I'm gonna be generous , that let's say minimum wage is $15 , we'll put that at a US minimum wage . You know the government of the United States printed $6 trillion . Divide $6 trillion into hourly wage , you're talking about over $400 billion excuse me , 400 billion hours of unaccounted labor .

So you have this energy and this labor that's supposed to be input right Into the system in order to receive money . But what happens if you input fake money ? There's no work that validates it , so you have the actual work become diluted .

That's why all these individuals are out here which is really funny working and working , and working , and they can't seem to progress . And it's because the fiat system that was cast upon them was designed by nature to keep them as a slave .

I think if people begin to study the banking system , which is breaking in real time , and begin to understand that there's other monetary tools that can be utilized to enable your ability to preserve your purchasing power and preserve your work energy , it's a good thing . I'll give you the example in a way that the audience can understand .

So let's say you were doing consulting back in the day and you got a $10,000 paycheck . If you spent that $10,000 the same day that you made it , it would have been worth a lot more than it was worth today . But the thing is , it's not that the money's worth more , it's that the labor right is worth less .

So the labor is correlated to your purchasing power , not to the dollar amount . So that $10,000 in 2010 today is $7,000 . And it's only been a decade . So where is it headed ? Do you think it's only stopping ? Do you think they're not gonna print any more money ?

The Federal Reserve is one of the biggest scams perpetrated on humanity , and that takes you down the rabbit hole . It's a great starting point . Do you think it's intentional ?

is designed to fuck you .

Jp Morgan $2 billion in fines and lawsuits from manipulating the gold market and credit to us .

So if you're working and exchanging time which is the most valuable resource that you have for an imaginary piece of money that anybody can make or anybody can print out of an imagine being so stupid that somebody's out there printing money , somebody's printing money and on the counter you're working for it , and then you're getting taxed because they need your taxes

in order to run the government when they could just print it . It makes no sense whatsoever . So stop working for money , Stop working for a paycheck . Start working towards a life that instills freedom and instills your ability to produce money without you having to work . Now , that may sound like insane for 99% of people . So where do you start ?

You start by not spending . You start by not being a consumer , but being a producer . So most people are consumers . That's why they're always in the rat race . If you're producing , you're always being able to generate income . But you don't want to be producing just with your time . You want to be producing with systems .

Now you have AI , now you have automation , now you have software Dude . You can literally be making money while you sleep . And if you think that's not real , look at all the digital companies that are running . They're making money while the owners are sleeping .

Why do you think people are getting caught that threshold and like watered away , as you've been looking at scaling digital businesses so that you're able to continue growing ?

I know what my companies are worth . I know what my companies produce . I don't have to show it to anybody , I don't have to prove it to anybody . I just have to continue operating and understanding that I don't want to spend the initial capital . That required time . Because I tell people you don't buy things , Listen to me , you don't buy things with money .

You buy things with the amount of time that it takes you to get that money . So , for example and I say it quite often if you and I were to walk into a Louis Vuitton store with somebody at work said at McDonald's , they would look at that $500 wallet a lot more expensive than you and I would . Why ? Because they think , oh wow , $500 . That took me .

How many hours of work . Wow , that's expensive For us . Oh well , you know , just make a couple bucks here and there , have it in some sort of automation . You don't value the $500 because it didn't take you a lot of time .

So what you need to do is safeguard your time and understand that the time that you input is designed to liberate you , not for you to spend it liberating another person .

but you don't order stuff in a capital club . What's your philosophy ? First principle philosophy of how you're building out systems that are generating you revenue long into the future .

These are your sales , this is your marketing , the hands on that actually generates money . Your goal is to , as soon as possible , anytime , whether you're reselling sneakers or whether you run a Forbes 500 company , your job is to not do the things that somebody else can do for you . So , if you're flipping sneakers , go have a runner .

Oh , yeah , but I won't make as much money . Yeah , but you get to save time ? Well , yeah , but why don't you value your time ? Because you're not doing anything productive with that time .

I get to hang out with the people that I love , I get to go out and go for walks , I get to biohack , I get to travel and I'll pay somebody or give them a slice of the pie so that I don't have to do it .

So , as soon as you get started in your entrepreneurial journey , the first thing you need to do is start onboarding people that can take care of these risk mitigation tasks Like why are you , why are you answering customer service emails when you can hire somebody from the Philippines for $350 , $400 a month which is a good salary there , base entry level salary to

do it for you ? They'll be happy , they'll be chilling , and now you have time to focus on what income producing tasks and not even going deep into systems and operations . That's the first part . The second part is your KPIs , your key performance indicators , right . You need to know where you're going Like . What's your objective ?

Most people want a fancy business in order to make money . Most people would say , oh , I'm going to build the next Uber . Dude . If your goals to make money , you don't necessarily have to be a business owner . You don't have to be an entrepreneur to make money .

If your goal is to become free , then why are you going to build a SaaS business that has tens of investors that you have to pick up the phone and be accountable to ? Yeah , that's not freedom , 100% , that's not freedom , and we see it rinse and repeat . I'll give you an example , which was a crazy one Loom . Have you do ? You know the company Loom ?

A lot of them said it wasn't worth it .

I wasted many years doing this , making it all up as a lot as I go , so I put everything together in a very seamless and easy to follow course for you guys to follow and just learn exactly how to do it .

So if you want to bypass a lot of the mess with your podcast , check out the links down below the pockets university and we'll show you exactly how to launch and scale your own podcast . One of my friends I won't

mention his name , but he raised a ton of money around 20 million , built a really big like product that kind of caught the wave of before the like tightening of the economy past couple of years and he basically lost his head in the process so ran out of money .

Business closed down and when I speak to him he said a lot of his VC friends , or a lot of his friends who've raised money from VCs . They all say you will be lucky if you get out with your head , because most of you will lose your head . You'll lose everything around you .

Now people cheer when you raise the money and they cheer at the launch parties , but they're not there for you at the end .

That's why now I'm focused on private equity , venture capital . I have my fund . Why ? Because I'm going to invest into hustlers , people I want to elevate people in my community that are actually going to put in the grunt work in the hours .

I'll be damned if I go fucking raise money out there to be some bitch boy slave to some white collar suit motherfucker in Wall Street that is going to call me and ask me for my quarterly reportings . Fuck that shit and even have a son . Even , bro , I'll live under a bridge before I do that shit . No chance that .

That's back to slavery , dude , as back to being golden , golden handcuffs . 100% . Fuck that .

I was met someone here in Singapore I used to live here for last couple of years and someone was like if you have a slight debt , we can bring it to a VC and we can raise a bunch of money .

And just something deep down didn't seem right at the time and I was going to build like a financial product and I was like it just doesn't feel like a line to what I want to do and thank , fuck it and date the cash because two years later 90% of startups are bed bed , obsolete dude .

That's why , you know , I create content you won't ever see in my car , as you won't ever see why . Because I don't think that that dictates successful entrepreneurship . To me , entrepreneurship is I work for myself or I work in a conglomerate with a group of individuals ? I set my own rules , I determined my own path and I work at it every single day .

And , dude , I've been an entrepreneur with $200 in a suitcase . I was an entrepreneur fucking pressure-washing basketball courts . It was just the steps that I needed to take in order to be where I am today . And it's the mindset . Right , it's the mindset .

It's not the bank account that matters , because you can have a ton of money and end up looking like Mark Zuckerberg . I'm not about that brother , or Elon Musk . I like Elon bro , but at the same time , I'm a little bit tied up with Elon bro .

I'm a little bit on dual sides , because he puts out hella good products , but at the same time motherfucking controls everything . Scary bro .

Elon who owns the social media platform , the alternative social media platform ? Elon who owns the chip that they wanna implant into your brain and the AI ? Elon who owns the alternative kind of ecosystem that's being built ? Perfect scenario if in the future , there is some sort of power grid disruption , which most experts are saying , that is absolutely plausible .

What are the pros and cons about it ? Now , I wasn't able to sustain it . I think that there's a potentiality where the vegan diet is , or could be , a superior diet . There's plenty of studies validating it , but obviously this is one of these arguments that are eternal . But I had a great experience on it .

I ended up losing a ton of weight because I didn't maintain to a super specific vegan diet . So I went back to a grass-fed meat diet and I feel great . But it kind of helped me break out of the food matrix because it made me more conscientious as to what I was eating .

Well , it's poison , hmm , right , well , talk to what are processed industrialized seed oils , and what is it doing to inflammation and cholesterol ? Oh well , let me look into that . Well , I have none of this on my plant-based raw food diet . So now I start feeling really good . I'm like , oh whoa , I don't have brain fog anymore .

So maybe I'm not just , maybe I'm not stupid , maybe I don't have ADHD , maybe I just . Maybe I'm just poisoned , hmm , and the rabbit trail begins once again . So it's about instilling the self-regulation that we talked about and now being more conscientious towards your decision-making process .

At the same time , you don't wanna go into the vegan diet , which is why I said the raw vegan diet , where you're out here eating the impossible burger , which is basically industrialized processed seed oils packaged and isn't really food .

On the supplements , I wanna make sure that I'm getting most of my food and nutrients from the food that I eat .

But with that you also have the bullshit and the psyops of them controlling the food , and when you have industrialized kind of food production , you also lose a lot of the nutrient dense kind of properties of the food , so the food doesn't taste the same . There's a reason why you eat inorganic fruit and it tastes like shit and it tastes like gross .

It's because it's not really fruit , it's just industrialized , chemicalized , genetically modified food . And I think that most people overeat , most people eat shit , most people think that something's wrong with them when in reality they're just poisoned . And once you begin to break from a couple of these habits , you begin to realize , oh , this is a better life .

And then you realize that food isn't only used to keep you stupid , but it's also an addiction , right ? So why wouldn't big food companies wanna create addicting factors or addicting properties to your food so that they keep you hooked . I mean , look at not going into crazy conspiracy , but look at Kobe Bryant .

Right , when his helicopter crashed which is crazy to think about he was actually in the middle of a lawsuit , was about to start to testify against the supplement brand that he had partnered with because they had found traces of methamphetamines inside the pre-workout . It's just to hook motherfuckers , right ? So he died , but I don't know if he died for that .

Who knows , right , maybe the 20 year pilot just lost experience that one day , just it just made no sense . But they're poisoning your food not only to fuck you , but also to keep you in the rat race of addiction .

true , how you stay on track with your food when you're traveling , because , like even for me , like no seed oil , brother , but how do you not say , not necessarily , how do you know , but where do you eat ? How do you eat ?

Because , even for me , like in like a bodybuilding diet which would still have a lot of fruit and veg , it's very difficult to be able to even like find it right Without yacking up a shit ton of like oil or fats or carbs . Very difficult traveling .

I know it sounds crazy and mental , but I feel fucking good , better than me walking into one of these places that have genetically modified bullshit , seed oil food . That is gonna make me feel like shit . So I stick to pretty clean diet across the board , even when I'm traveling . But Asia's hard bro , asia , asia , it's a little bit difficult with the food .

I think it's oil , right ? Yeah , I think Europe is really really good Most of Europe with getting rid of genetically modified and highly processed foods and in the US , even though it's fucked up , you can still have pretty decent alternatives .

On one side , I think it's impossible to be skinny and fit because the food is so bad . On the opposite side , I think it's so difficult to be fat because there's whole food and there's a lot of good food companies there , so it's so wide and in between you have everybody .

So they give you the freedom , or the illusion of freedom of choice , that you oh , look how many chip options there are , look how many canned meal options there are , look how many different recipes that I can actually cook up . And then you look at the ingredients and they're all altered versions of the exact same thing .

For example , you go to the United States early in the morning five , six in the morning and you have four or five restaurants McDonald's , chick-fil-a , chick-fil-a , burger King and Taco Bell .

And in the morning , at four , five , six in the morning , you have Cisco , which is the food company that delivers all the same ingredients to all the businesses the same way . So , yeah , they'll add a couple of spices , a couple of ingredients , but it's an illusion of choice . You don't really have a choice .

In order to have choice , you need to make real decisions . You need to actually choose what you're going to eat and determine that . But once you take away that mass grade of the logo , the ingredients are the same thing from the same manufacturer .

What do you think about some of the bigger chains , like Whole Foods and these brands that are meant to be healthy for you , like even their ?

When it comes to looking at dude , if you look at the back of a package of chips and it has more than just potatoes and then some healthy oil to deep fry it and it has all this crazy shit , that's not food . That's not food . So I like to limit how much processed food I actually intake , which is not a lot , and just stick to clean diet .

Bro , it's so life-changing , it's so life-changing . I think it's one of , if not the hardest things to change , because it's so addicting to get out of that . I remember when I used to be super addicted to refined sugars and dude , I would tell my family or I would tell my girl oh , I'm gonna cut candy , right .

And then I would find myself with sugar cravings at one in the morning , sneaking out of my house , going to the gas station and loading up with chips , candy so it does . And coming back to the house Dude , that's not fucking normal behavior .

That's not normal , it's weird , it's fucking deranged behavior , that's lunacy , that's addiction , and I felt fucked up every time I did it , but I continued doing it . So if you continue doing something that you know is bad for you but it's addicting , then you need to understand that there's a process of detox that needs to take place .

Just like you would detox and have withdrawals from any sort of actual drug , sugar is a drug . You're gonna have fucking serious withdrawals and I think it took me about two years two years to actually get over intense sugar cravings , but I haven't had that candy bullshit ever since .

So alcohol is no longer what it used to be Alcohol . The process of refining and fermenting is different . You look at fireball . You know fireball . It's like a cinnamon drink that they have in the US . The ingredients in the US are different than the ingredients in Europe . So people are like this is a cinnamon spicy drink .

And then you look at what they use in the United States to make fireball shots and it has formaldehyde , which is the coolant that they use for air conditioning . I was like , oh yeah , no wonder it burns . Yeah , no wonder it burns , because it's fucking chemical compositions . So there are ways to consume alcohol that are a lot better than others .

For example , you read in ancient texts how they used to drink wine and things of this nature . It was different the process of making the wine , the fermentation , the preservatives , the additives that were added , the pesticides that were coming into those bottles . So I think the alcohol that you see on the shelf today is poisonous .

But there's probably good options of alcohol consumption out there that have to be created and done extremely well . But I don't drink alcohol . At all .

You can have a bottle of whiskey or a glass of whiskey once a month , or with your partner or whatever , and it's fantastic , you might enjoy it , but the problem is individuals will abuse that drug or abuse the option to take it .

You don't wanna be a functioning alcoholic , because all you're doing is just coping with things that you have to solve in your life .

Build a company that can sustain the things that AI is going to disrupt . So what can AI currently not disrupt ? It can't disrupt personal development . It can't disrupt community . It can't disrupt fellowship and unity . It can't disrupt these things . Tangibles , right , and social media did the antithesis of what it was supposed to do .

Social media was supposed to connect everybody , but everybody feels more disconnected and isolated than ever before . So now you see the forming of digital tribes , right , people that begin to resonate with certain messages and begin to kind of group and kind of conglomerate in their own little areas of the internet .

So as the internet becomes more refined , you're gonna start seeing people segment out from big platforms and just use big platforms as a way to siphon people into their own networks . But I support a lot of these guys , you know . I support a lot of these guys building communities .

I think that there are a lot of great communities out there , most of the big dogs that you actually see out there that are creating content . At the end of the day , when it's all said and done , compared to everything else that's out there on the internet , they're good dudes .

So , whether it's on the financial side of the Copper Club as well as the broader wealth spectrum , even interacting with people , because you and I are kind of different , because we like board of partners , whereas for some people , a lot of guys are building on their own they're locked in a fucking room right For six seven years , and it comes down to intention .

The market will do what the market needs to do . It's people like oh , this guy's out here doing this and that's like bro , go take care of your mom . Your mom's not retired . Why are you commenting on another person what another person's doing ? The internet's smart enough to eventually pull out weeds and siphon out scammers .

Like it happens , it's happening since the dawn of man . So the scammers get cleaned out , especially on the internet . But these people that are building real , sustainable communities , dude , I support them , because what's the opposite of it ?

The opposite is a lot of these kids growing up having no role models , having no figures , having no individuals that they can look up to and having no community . So if I can be a part of that change in some way , shape or form , so be it , are you ?

of societies .

I can either be in a situation where I start a civil war right out of jealousy or out of comparison as to what somebody else is doing or how I think somebody else should run a community , or how somebody else should run a group of individuals , or I can just be diplomatic and actually understand that there's different ways to the top of the mountain and it's

better for these individuals to be associating with prosperity , self-development , education than being scrolling on TikTok , looking at hoes on OnlyFans on Pornhub , scrolling on Instagram , scrolling on Snapchat . This is like it's disease , disease , disease .

So anybody that's trying to provide any sort of solution , they have my support , brad 100% what's been some of the biggest success stories of Copper Club . Dude everybody . That is part of my deep Capital Club network , which you have to become a millionaire , and how ?

So , for example , I have people inside Capital Club that have sold companies for 50 , 100 , $200 million , but they come and their mental space isn't good or they're overweight , and they get to be inspired by somebody that maybe doesn't have a lot of money , but they have their physique in check .

So I would say that the success of Capital Club doesn't come from an individual person being like oh , I made this guy a millionaire . No , no , no , no .

I created an ecosystem that allowed this person to find relationships , be vulnerable , be who they are and pursue individuals that they can learn from , because they realize that there's so many areas of life that still need to be improved .

So , yeah , dude , I think Capital Club is great , simply because it provides an alternative ecosystem to traditional media , because we have our academy , we have fucking incredible content and it provides a network effect of authenticity , truth and transparency , and that all you have to do is focus on becoming the best version of yourself , and if you can focus on

becoming the best version of yourself , you're more than welcome .

and the advisory , the person that's there to help , basically someone who can give off their experience and be the person to decide who doesn't fall into the commodity and if you've ever read category of one , he talks about everything in life , from the airlines to the phones . They're all commodities and everything else that you can do , in the end , additional .

That's what makes you unique and that's what makes you basically a category of one . So what will be your principle on , like , how you actually become AI proof because it's moving faster and faster and faster ?

Ai is not gonna do that for you . Ai is not gonna sit and pray for you and figure out what's the existential crisis of your soul . Ai is there just to help you develop and right now , in its infancy , it's extremely powerful . But there's things that AI will never be able to replace . It can't replace your human and it can't replace your human connection .

So focus on those intrinsic things that make you you and then focus on the things that AI can't enhance because there's things that AI can enhance for you and polish those things , and that's what will give you an insane edge in the market , especially physical things . Dude , I see a big shift towards physical things .

Right , I emerge between the physical world and the digital world . I see a lot of people now disconnecting from the internet , hanging out like we're here in Singapore . We're doing the glitch meetup . There's 300 plus people that are usually in this APAC region that are flying in or local coming , and AI can't do that .

For me , right , ai can't put all those people together in a room and create an environment where people can self develop , talk , hang out , network and I see a merge and a fusion of the physical and the digital that is gonna have a lot of monetary value attached to it .

Self develop , become so elevated that people are like , oh , this guy's different , this guy's worth listening to . Look at David Goggins bro . That's a badass motherfucker bro . He's the G like he's at the mindset level . I need to learn from this guy . Ai can't teach me how to be a David Goggins . I gotta go learn from David Goggins , bro .

So become a person that attracts and magnetizes through motivation and inspiration , and people will gravitate towards you . I talk about the concept of gravitas , right ? Gravitas is where we get this idea of gravity , and gravity is one mass . Bigger mass always attracts and pulls to it the smaller mass , right ?

So are you the massive influence , are you the individual that's being influenced ? So if you wanna be a person that's worth listening to , then self develop .

Seeing this dude run 100 miles at 2 am , I don't need to hear a word from this guy . I know what is the human potential because he's proven it to me . He is a walking testament of possibility . He's a walking testament of greatness .

himself becoming complacent . This was interesting . He went back into becoming a firefighter , so he's jumping out of fucking planes to land into , like the middle of nowhere that's on fire , to reinstate that hunger and savageness in him , because he even felt , with the money , that life is fucking easy .

Right , I can sit up , not do my two hours of stretching every single day . I'll do an hour and 45 , but it's a slippery slope , right . So a question for you off that is how have you maintained your high level of performance and frequency ? Because anyone can make a bit of money , but it's eight years for you , it's four years for me .

How do you keep at that level ?

So if you stop doing those things , the future is going to reflect the present action , because money is simply a lagging indicator . So when you know that money is a lagging indicator , what you want to do is position yourself to consistently be doing the things that yield you long-term results . And most people , like we said , they make a little bit of money .

They get complacent . Why ? Because they think that what they're doing today is bringing the money . No , no , no . What you did before is bringing you the money today . So ensure that you continue doing those things today so that that brings you money in the future . It applies with money . It applies with physique , right ?

You don't have a great physique today because of the fact that you went to the gym yesterday .

You have a great physique because of every single day that you went up , went to the gym leading up to this moment and if today you become complacent and you stop exercising consistently , in the future your body will morph and your body will become a reflection of your actions .

So money success is simply a lagging indicator , and when you understand that , you play the long-term game .

What are some of the influences you've had in sales and how do you think ?

Let's say there was a stranded individual with a ton of money in the desert , I would go sell that motherfucker water right , and I wouldn't feel guilty of selling him tens of thousands of bottles of water right Under the premise that that's what he needs . So most people that don't make money is because they don't develop the fundamental skill set of selling .

But every day you're selling . You're selling your girl to stay with you . You're selling your audience and your podcast to continue listening , right , you're selling yourself to continue doing it .

So developing the essential skill of selling is basically your ability to convince individuals that what you have to offer is better than what they have to offer you , which is money . So as long as what you have to offer is a higher value than that what you're selling , then you're good . Now , that's on the first side .

The second part is the people that sell just to make money and they don't care about what it is that they're selling . If you sell something to somebody that they don't need , right .

If you sell something to somebody and they don't actually need it , you're not a good salesman , you're a con artist , because you're selling something to somebody that actually doesn't need what you have to give them . So there's a fine balance .

And you don't wanna be the used car salesman , but at the same time , if somebody doesn't have a car and they have the money , sell them a car . It might be beneficial to them .

Looking at firstly , the numbers so where are they right ? So let's say you use your health , you're overweight . Let's say You're overweight , how does it make you feel ? Let's get the right numbers in place , exactly how that affects you . Understanding the problem so why are you overweight ? Oh , you have a bad relationship with food , so on and so forth .

Understanding the impact Now you can't pull up your pants , you can't hang out with your kids , you can't teach people anymore . You're just the massive impact from that . Understanding the root cause oh , it goes all the way back here . And the future state .

So if you can map that clearly out for someone you can say , yes , this is a great solution for you , or no . Here's my friend . Let me refer you to someone else who's gonna be better than me and they will decide if this is . You've given them the gap and they're able to see how big the gap

is . If the gap is small , it's fine . They shouldn't buy . But by creating that large gap they can go off and do .

If you can showcase a person , hey , like there is a big enough differentiator where , by buying my product or by utilizing what I have to sell you , that it can fundamentally make you or serve you well , then I think it's beneficial . But I think a lot of people shun selling , they hide away from selling or they criticize people that are really good at selling .

And there's no shame in it whatsoever as long as what you're selling is actually valuable to the person buying it .

How do you think about building up demand , creating tension and being able to create a great product so that when you open the doors , people come true ?

But if you do the math of $369 times 369 , you're talking about $130,000 plus net profit a day . So I make a ton of money . It's just , it's in the numbers . You just have to be able to play the numbers and I don't need to make $10 million in one day . I just need to bring in high quality individuals cause .

My goal is to make 130 grand net profit a day . That's cool . Yeah , business partners , that's not my money , that's the company's money , that's the club's money . My goal is to build an ecosystem that is really good , and that ecosystem I can't flood it with people right away , because it takes time , it takes a process , it takes development .

So , since I'm not broke and I'm not in a situation where I'm hungry for money or I am kind of nervous that I got to pay my bills , or I have so much overhead and expenses that I have to go do some gimmicky bullshit . Then I can take my time , because money is no longer the objective when you have enough of it .

My objective now is to build the largest entrepreneur network on the planet , and I'm gonna do it .

If not , the information might not be there tomorrow . So , yeah , sometimes I delete posts , sometimes I delete videos under the premise that I think that they're highly valuable and if you sought out the information and you got the information , you should have an advantage over the people that weren't intentional to get it .

So if I'm not here just blasting content every single day , you're just gonna assume that it's readily available and you're just gonna fuck off . No , no , no . If you want top tier entrepreneur content , if you want to develop and you want a great community , you're gonna have to show up , just like everybody else actually wants it shows up .

I just have to market it extremely well . So I look at content more like winning products in e-commerce , because that's my background . So my goal is to find a winning product , aka a winning piece of content , and once I have it , it's scale that winning piece of content to the moon .

So , like I'll have one podcast , okay , perfect , on the main podcast , let's say we do . This podcast gets a couple hundred thousand views . Now this podcast will get 50 , 100 million views because once it's validated , it's a winning piece of content . I just have to scale it to the infinite .

You don't have a business If the way that you distribute is by creating a ton of content every single day , then you're just basically spamming the internet with original content . I'm gonna spam the internet with limited , high quality content , which is a completely different scenario to what everybody else is doing . But I'm gonna start ramping up my content Now .

I'm gonna fuse a ton of top tier content with a lot of content , original content and my goal is probably 10 billion views 2024 .

that I've wrote an article called Predictions for 2024 . And some of them already occurred . So I predicted , like most people , that the Bitcoin ETF was gonna take place . It happened . The middle class being priced out of a Bitcoin it already happened . I see direct to consumer brands highly focused on the health and wellness niche .

I see a lot of e-commerce opportunity when it comes to politics so anything has to do with the election that's coming up . There's a lot of money to be made . I remember selling a little gold coin last election that had Trump's face on it profile face and I made $1.6 million in sales . Right why ? Because it only made sense at the time .

Obviously , that won't sell now , but it did extremely well . So trends that I like to kind of observe are in three categories E-commerce , which is where I'm experienced money and markets , which is kind of a general macro understanding of the markets , and then cryptocurrency and kind of DeFi , the centralized finance .

So on the e-commerce side , you're gonna see a lot of , I think , once the printers pick up again , you're gonna see a lot of mergers and private equity come back and start buying these micro brands and these small companies to put them under an umbrella and kind of have them under a holdings company , which is kind of what we saw over the last couple of years .

But , like you said , with the recession and the money printers being turned off , that slowed down but you're gonna have a huge potential in the health , beauty , wellness niche . Longevity is absolutely crazy . In the money and markets , the US is gonna continue printing out of thin air . It's just inevitably going to happen .

I think that there's a high upside on stocks that are undervalued right now , like PayPal . Paypal is gonna absolutely smash it . Shopify is gonna continue leading e-commerce and have Robinhood start becoming popularized with retail again . So you have a couple of stocks that are gonna perform extremely well .

Last year I called the tech rebound on stock , so I allocated 10% of my net worth into MetaStock when it was anywhere from 90 to $77 , it was layered in , so it was pretty good buy .

And on the DeFi slash cryptocurrency side , I think we're gonna see a huge competition between traditional finance and DeFi , because the tools that are being implemented in DeFi are absolutely insane . You look at new tools that are coming out , new platforms like Jupiter Exchange on the Solana ecosystem .

You see enhanced products that basically look like traditional finance . It's really crazy .

I won't do it now , but if you go on the app store , you tap the search , you input phantom wallet , which is one of these DeFi wallets , you download it , you create a crypto wallet on it and you go to the exchange and somebody sends you , let's say , $50 and Tether $50 in USDC , you could be trading or you could be in the market buying crypto within five

minutes . If I wanted to open up a bank account , then I wanted to open up an E-trade account or an Ameritrade account , I would have to get KYC'd . I would have to wait three to five business days . I would have to suck somebody's dick if I wanted to pull my money out . I'm good dude .

So you're gonna see a big competition coming from the non-KYC decentralized finance base to really come and fight for the market , and the market always gets what the market wants .

So when the market gets saturated at the bullshit like , for example , today , I wanted to send a half a million dollar wire right , I got all these questions who are you sending it to ? Why are you sending it ? What's the business registration of this other company ? Do you have invoices ? Do you have the communications ? Do you have the terms of service .

Do you have the agreement ? I'm like who the fuck are you ? And I get it right , Because on one side you have the anti-money laundering and you have OFAC and you have all these companies that are basically slaves to whatever the government's telling them .

But the internet is democratizing that and it's creating a ecosystem where builders are creating products that the government won't be able to stop .

What the fuck it's all the governments do is create a crisis and then take more freedom . Create a crisis , take more freedom . Create a crisis , take more freedom . So it's the same thing with the governments . It's the same thing with the banks . Oh well , they're money laundering . Or North Korea . How many people are here sending wires to North Korea ?

Motherfucker , I don't need to be out here doing all this KYC verification , but I get it because if you're in business , you have your bank identification number , you have your license , you have your charter and if you don't follow the rules , they'll pull that shit from you .

So it's either telling the customer to KYC and do all this policy stuff or you end up being in a situation where you don't have a business . I mean , look at Binance , bro . I invested in Binance when it was $2 in 2017 . When it was the fucking hottest exchange in the world . I could do anything that I wanted on there . It was pretty good .

I didn't have to do all this KYC nonsense . And now it's run by the US government , right . So now it's fully controlled , it's fully kind of regulated and it's kind of the inevitability of big government . So I see that changing soon .

He did not have one misspelling for all his years and they came and took his bank and it's over , and the reputation was such a big impact that he couldn't come back from it . And what the irony is , that bank was already sold to a Texas based bank and he was getting it off his plate .

Let's continue supporting these internet creators . These people actually want to see a better future , and I think the sky's the limit , brother .
