- 2:03that don't know you yet the Dutch people
- 2:05that are listening right now maybe some
- 2:07other people from for countries who is
- 2:10Luke
- 2:11Belmar well Luke Belmar uh is an
- 2:15immigrant from Argentina went to the
- 2:17United States at the age of 16 with $200
- 2:20in a suitcase with a lot of Ambitions a
- 2:22lot of goals a lot of dreams but with a
- 2:25very clear purpose and a very clear
- 2:27mission to make it out right to make it
- 2:29out of this thing that we call the
- 2:30system and as I drive through Amsterdam
- 2:33coming here you notice the system it's
- 2:35very prevalent you know how people live
- 2:37how people
- 2:38move and I always knew deep down that
- 2:41that wasn't what I wanted for my life I
- 2:43come from a small town 12 to 15,000
- 2:46people in the outskirts of buen atis I
- 2:49don't know how much Dutch people like
- 2:50Argentine since we keep schooling your
- 2:52guys' ass and football every World Cup
- 2:54but it's good yeah but our our King is
- 2:58piping down one of the hottest the
- 2:59Argentina woman so hey
- 3:02bro you you giveing you take you give
- 3:04you take you know what I mean but uh
- 3:07yeah at the age of 16 moved to the
- 3:08United States with $200 in the suitcase
- 3:11went from pressure washing basketball
- 3:13courts cleaning toilets flipping uh
- 3:16wings at a Buffalo Wild Wings sleeping
- 3:19in my car for for a time being it was
- 3:21about like four or five months to
- 3:23eventually getting exposed to bitcoin I
- 3:26heard of Bitcoin in 2015 for the first
- 3:28time and I when I when I often tell this
- 3:31story people are like what well Luke got
- 3:33lucky I'm
- 3:34like I don't think I got lucky I was
- 3:37exposed to information but that doesn't
- 3:39mean that you need to necessarily act on
- 3:41that information I remember watching a
- 3:43documentary on Netflix I forget exactly
- 3:46what the name I think it's called
- 3:47banking on bitcoin and the gentleman
- 3:50they would actually go out on the
- 3:52streets I think it was Wall Street and
- 3:54would tell people hey would you have a
- 3:56Bitcoin or would you take this $5 bill
- 3:58and everybody was like well take the $5
- 4:00bill because it's real and I can see it
- 4:02and I can touch it so a lot of people
- 4:05were exposed to the opportunity but not
- 4:07everybody capitalized on the opportunity
- 4:09I remember being in a situation whereby
- 4:12in the United States I don't know how it
- 4:13works in the Netherlands but if you wait
- 4:16tables or if you work in a restaurant
- 4:18you get your cash tips so in the United
- 4:21States it's a tip system but every day
- 4:23the restaurant gives you those tips that
- 4:25is your payday basically so I would get
- 4:28that cash tip I would drive to the ATM
- 4:32and I would deposit that money I had a
- 4:341998 Buick it was an old Buick it was
- 4:38like a mafia car I [ __ ] love that car
- 4:40I crashed it but eventually uh I had to
- 4:43upgrade but it was a nice vehicle
- 4:45nonetheless I remember depositing the
- 4:47money it was a Wells Fargo bank account
- 4:50and since it's a cash deposit you see
- 4:52the money instantly displayed in your
- 4:53bank account so I would instantly get on
- 4:55my
- 4:56computer and I would go to an exchange
- 4:58called bitstamp
- 5:00mhm and bitstamp was an OG exchange you
- 5:02know doesn't have a lot of liquidity or
- 5:04or popularity right now but back in the
- 5:06day you could use your debit card to
- 5:07actually purchase Bitcoin on that
- 5:09exchange so I would every single day use
- 5:1250% of my money that I would make that
- 5:14day to buy Bitcoin at that time it was
- 5:17couple hundred dollars 500 600 bucks
- 5:19this was the end of like 2015 2016 so
- 5:21pre the Bull Run of 2017 2016 I got
- 5:25exposed to uh e-commerce through a
- 5:28couple of buddies through the internet
- 5:30which it was pre popularity if you if
- 5:34you may call it it was pre uh before the
- 5:38hype preg Guru season pre all YouTube
- 5:41all over Drop Shipping this that and all
- 5:43so so there wasn't a lot of information
- 5:44there wasn't a lot of infrastructure and
- 5:46people on that side will be like well
- 5:47you got lucky about that as well you got
- 5:49access to e-commerce when it was fairly
- 5:51easy and once again what I say to that
- 5:53is just because it was accessible
- 5:56doesn't mean it was easy why because the
- 5:58infrastructure wasn't set in place
- 6:01whereby fulfillment centers were easy to
- 6:03access Payment Processing they screwed
- 6:06any sort of e-commerce or drop shipping
- 6:08because it was seen as high-risk so
- 6:10there was a lot of uphill battles but
- 6:12there are different uphill battles today
- 6:14the uphill battles are uh you have you
- 6:17know your advertisers like your
- 6:20advertising platforms like meta or
- 6:22SnapChat they don't like Drop shippers
- 6:24because they have a bad reputation
- 6:26they're high risk so you get a lot of
- 6:28bans on that side you still issues with
- 6:30payment processing and then you have
- 6:32competition when it comes to the barrier
- 6:35of Entry because the barrier of Entry is
- 6:37quite easy all you have to do is open up
- 6:38a store with Shopify back in the day
- 6:40Shopify didn't have all these crazy
- 6:42plugins I remember the the App Store was
- 6:44very new on Shopify and I remember I
- 6:46would have to learn the basics of coding
- 6:48to like code in my own this the own size
- 6:51of my checkout button the color of my
- 6:53checkout button it's pretty OG mhm uh
- 6:55did quite well in e-commerce I wrote the
- 6:58wave of crypto uh in 2017 up and down I
- 7:02wrote it down I didn't make a ton of
- 7:04money why because I didn't understand
- 7:06Market Cycles but I was like you know
- 7:07what I think I did 140x 140 to 160x on
- 7:11my portfolio I forget but I lost it all
- 7:13right I lost it all and a very simple
- 7:16number to evaluate whether that's true
- 7:18or not is look at cardano right cardano
- 7:21went from half a penny to $160 I rode
- 7:24that entire thing it was like two to
- 7:25three weeks same thing with uh Tron Tron
- 7:28I think went from like a penny to like
- 7:3030 cents or something like that and then
- 7:33xrp went from 13 cents all the way to
- 7:37$3.50 so I rode all of those tokens I
- 7:40remember buying Bitcoin again still I
- 7:42think I have some videos of it buying
- 7:44Bitcoin when it crashed at like $4,000
- 7:46and then a couple weeks later it was up
- 7:48at 15 so it was a great season but the
- 7:51issue was I didn't understand Market
- 7:52Cycles I was left holding the bag
- 7:55because everybody was it back in the day
- 7:58in 2017 it wasn't diamond in hands like
- 8:00like in 2020 that chant it was the hodal
- 8:03right yeah the hold on for dear life and
- 8:05I held on for dear life and I got focked
- 8:08so I sat down there I'm like okay what
- 8:10did I do wrong what did I do right what
- 8:12I did right was I allocated my money in
- 8:15an investment vehicle or what a lot of
- 8:18people like to call a high-risk
- 8:20investment vehicle and it played out why
- 8:24because money moves from different
- 8:27markets at different times and Bitcoin
- 8:29has its Cycles after the Bitcoin having
- 8:32one one and a half years later the
- 8:34market tends to have a really good uh
- 8:38season MH so I was like it's going to
- 8:40happen again and it did but this time I
- 8:43was prepared and in 2020 after doing $16
- 8:46million in e-commerce did quite well
- 8:48there had some money already saved up I
- 8:51put all of my money into crypto except
- 8:5310,000 bucks now my entire thesis from
- 8:56that it's not that I'm a genius but I
- 8:57was connected with really good people I
- 8:59was in the dii boom of 2019 so I saw
- 9:02Unis swap do extremely well I was like
- 9:04you know there's something interesting
- 9:06with defi this was prebe videos of Defi
- 9:08and everybody telling you how to open up
- 9:10a metamask account it wasn't very
- 9:12popular but that which is not popular is
- 9:15often a good idea and the reason it's a
- 9:18good idea is because you don't have the
- 9:20normies and the average individual as a
- 9:23part of the mix when the average
- 9:26individual is in the mix It's usually
- 9:29the end of the season when the taxi
- 9:31driver is talking about crypto when your
- 9:33grandmother's talking about crypto who
- 9:35else is left to buy truly because those
- 9:37are usually the most uneducated most
- 9:40uninformed usually the people that are
- 9:42getting the information the last the
- 9:44hedge funds are positioned the market
- 9:46makers are positioned The Venture
- 9:48capitalists are positioned smart money
- 9:50is already in the game and then what
- 9:52they do is very simple they'll go to
- 9:54CNBC they'll go to Fox News they'll go
- 9:56to Forbes and they'll pay the journalist
- 9:59to write articles on their behalf to do
- 10:03what increase eyeballs because the
- 10:06newbies they read these things and then
- 10:08the information gets dispersed gets
- 10:11disseminated and that information then
- 10:13leads to
- 10:14what liquidity yes and the liquidity is
- 10:18where the smart people get out they get
- 10:21out on the liquidity of the noobs so in
- 10:2420120 I think it was uh March of 2020 I
- 10:27remember using in exchange it was Kraken
- 10:30and uh binance before they were cracking
- 10:33down super heavy on it and I had my
- 10:35orders already placed so I had orders
- 10:38placed for ethereum sub
- 10:41$100 I had cardano a half a penny xrp at
- 10:4513 cents again and it was the covid
- 10:48crash you know it was the Big Black Swan
- 10:50event and all of these tokens uh and all
- 10:54these orders got filled right so I
- 10:55remember I was playing Call of Duty and
- 10:58I see my phone going off like the little
- 11:01vibration thing and you see the
- 11:02notifications all the shit's getting
- 11:03filled I'm like oh [ __ ] at that time I
- 11:05was kind of scared too in the sense of
- 11:08okay is this actually going to zero
- 11:09because mind you bro Bitcoin went from
- 11:1120,000 all the way to
- 11:133,500 that was scary right but it's
- 11:16usually in the fear that you have to buy
- 11:18into it and it's in the fear of missing
- 11:21out that you have to sell M and the
- 11:24markets are quite psychological and when
- 11:26you understand that the psychology
- 11:29manipulated by people you can in some
- 11:31way shape or form understand the cycle
- 11:34Now by no means am I perfect but it
- 11:36worked out pretty well I remember being
- 11:39on clubhouse I think 2020 and that's
- 11:42when the app was really popular in
- 11:44Poppin and CZ from binance hopped on
- 11:47there and he was giving a kind of like a
- 11:50clubhouse meeting with other crypto
- 11:52people I tuned in and I got the
- 11:55opportunity to ask him a question
- 11:57because I remember buying BMB in in
- 11:592017 for two bucks so the B&B token
- 12:03which went to $600 plus dollars I was
- 12:05one of the first people that was
- 12:07actually buying B&B for $2 when the
- 12:09exchange was extremely new I was a big
- 12:11fan of binance I still am I think
- 12:13they're [ __ ] dope and that's no no no
- 12:17advice to put your money there because
- 12:18you never know how exchanges are but I
- 12:20was a big fan of it they've done a lot
- 12:22of good for the space and helping
- 12:23helping it
- 12:24grow but I said okay B&B it's Cor
- 12:29related to what the exchange so there
- 12:31needs to be more growth factors and more
- 12:34kind of coal to the fire to keep the
- 12:37engines running so at that point I asked
- 12:40CZ hey you know Unis swap has a
- 12:42competitor they have they're on they
- 12:45need a competitor they're on the
- 12:46ethereum chain and I just saw that you
- 12:48launch launched the binance smart chain
- 12:50extremely new there was no YouTube
- 12:52videos on it I think when I went to type
- 12:54on YouTube the binance smart chain there
- 12:56was one guy talking about it from India
- 12:59and then one guy from China there was
- 13:01like two or three videos so it was super
- 13:03small right it just had just gotten
- 13:05started just launched and then there was
- 13:07an old guy uh some European guy that
- 13:09made a video about it on how to like
- 13:11connect it with your metamask wallet
- 13:13because you look at metamask the default
- 13:15is ethereum and you have to increase
- 13:18different chains you have to do this
- 13:19whole like nonsense right so he said
- 13:23well you know we're trying to compete
- 13:24because the binance smart chain is going
- 13:26to increase the demand for what for B&B
- 13:29which is the native token of the
- 13:31platform therefore driving up the price
- 13:33most of the employees most of cz's
- 13:35wealth is attached to the B&B token this
- 13:37is just how it works so to increase
- 13:40demand you need to create demand so he
- 13:42was like yeah well uh there's other D5
- 13:45projects one of them being pancake Swap
- 13:47and I'm like well what do you know about
- 13:48pancake Swap and he stuttered a little
- 13:51bit and then he was like well I don't
- 13:52know they're they I think they're a team
- 13:54from turkey and he started giving me
- 13:56information I'm like well if you don't
- 13:58know this onymous team how is it that
- 14:00you know where they're from you know how
- 14:01much like how they're doing you know
- 14:04that they're that they're safe that
- 14:05they're uh well put together team that
- 14:07they're professionals and they are these
- 14:09guys absolutely crushed it so I went
- 14:11back and I was like dude like maybe I
- 14:14shouldn't be betting on projects maybe I
- 14:16should be betting on
- 14:17people and I bet on CZ so I purchased at
- 14:22that time pancake swap was $25 million
- 14:26market cap very small I purchased 1% of
- 14:29the supply for A4 million bucks and from
- 14:3225 million it went up to a $2.6 billion
- 14:35market cap I so I sold I think at about
- 14:38$36 but my selling point was uh one of
- 14:42the co-founders of
- 14:43fazeclan the gaming org he texted me and
- 14:46he said hey should I buy safe mooon and
- 14:48this was the week that uh safe Moon had
- 14:52migrated from the ethereum chain to the
- 14:54binance smart chain and I said I'm out
- 14:57I'm out cuz this guy he he's he's a
- 14:59gamer he's not a crypto guy and that's
- 15:02that's during the shitcoin season you
- 15:03guys remember when people are creating
- 15:05tokens out of thin air the ding coin and
- 15:07all the [ __ ] [ __ ] so I was like
- 15:08okay this is the end because people are
- 15:10just making [ __ ] up at that point I
- 15:12remember sitting in Mexico 36 bucks
- 15:15cashed out and it went up to I think 42
- 15:16$43 and I felt like ID missed out but
- 15:19thankfully I rode that wave pretty well
- 15:21I did quite well with that investment
- 15:23made some good money and the reason I
- 15:26got into crypto was in fact uh I had a
- 15:29buddy come and visit me at the time when
- 15:30I was making still money with e-commerce
- 15:33and we went to a restaurant well a fast
- 15:35food restaurant at the time I don't
- 15:36Endor seed oils anymore but it was
- 15:39called Chipotle I don't know it's like a
- 15:41Mexican fast food place and the bowls
- 15:44there are like $12 so I'm here with this
- 15:46crypto multimillionaire who's made a
- 15:48[ __ ] ton of money with crypto and he's
- 15:50like hey Luke like he like Whispers in
- 15:52my ear he's like hey can you pay for my
- 15:53for my lunch and I'm like what do you
- 15:55mean I thought you were like rich I
- 15:56thought you were inviting me to to to
- 15:58lunch you know what I mean and he's like
- 15:59no well I don't have any money I'm like
- 16:01what do you mean you don't have any
- 16:02money he's like yeah all my money's in
- 16:04crypto and I'm like what the [ __ ] bro
- 16:06like this guy knows something that I
- 16:07don't this guy like understands the game
- 16:10this guy plays well so I went back home
- 16:12put all my money in crypto and it worked
- 16:15out cashed out of Bitcoin at 55,000
- 16:17cashed out of ethereum of at
- 16:202,950 or something quite high and it
- 16:24worked great but you so you listen to
- 16:27the crypto crypto millionaire but do you
- 16:31think like like we talked about it
- 16:34before like it wasn't luck that you met
- 16:36up with a crypto millionaire and that he
- 16:39said that thing and that you listen and
- 16:41then think like okay now I have to go
- 16:43all in on that but with Bitcoin like
- 16:46okay when it's on like 55,000 right
- 16:50um what did you make how did you make
- 16:53the choice to get out on that moment not
- 16:56later on or earlier there was three
- 16:59reasons one is it was enough money that
- 17:02based on my expenses I would never have
- 17:04to work again so it was like okay yeah I
- 17:06can make more money it was uh in the
- 17:09multiple eight figures over $40 million
- 17:11in crypto and I was like okay like maybe
- 17:14it goes to 60 maybe it goes to 70
- 17:16Bitcoin each but like is it going to
- 17:19actually exponentially change my life
- 17:20but if the [ __ ] crashes right it's going
- 17:23to hurt so at this point it's not a
- 17:25multiples game it's a preservation game
- 17:28and I did not want to repeat the cycle
- 17:29of 2017 bro like that [ __ ] [ __ ] hurt
- 17:32that [ __ ] hurt in 2017 I became a a
- 17:35Millionaire on paper and lost it I was
- 17:37like okay like [ __ ] I don't want to do
- 17:39this again so in 2018 made my money with
- 17:41crypto became a millionaire again right
- 17:44and then eventually I was like I got to
- 17:45just multiply but then I have to
- 17:47preserve which is the motto and the
- 17:49premise of Capital Club to create
- 17:50multiply and preserve wealth because in
- 17:52every facet the ideology and the the
- 17:54processing has to change of how you
- 17:56think about information but the markets
- 17:59are completely tied to the policy of the
- 18:03FED right so when the FED decides to
- 18:05print money or they decide to buy assets
- 18:08that's when the market pumps and when
- 18:10they say hey we're no longer buying
- 18:13assets the market dumps and you need to
- 18:17correlate the people that work at the
- 18:19FED they they put out it was a big
- 18:22announcement they said hey we are
- 18:24selling all of our assets because it is
- 18:26a conflict of interest for us to be in
- 18:29the markets while the markets are still
- 18:31exist within 30 days that was the top
- 18:34mhm I sold when they put out that
- 18:36announcement yeah it only made sense and
- 18:40people can call it luck I call it a game
- 18:43of possibilities the more you try
- 18:45something the more refined you become
- 18:48and the more refined you become the
- 18:49better you become I could have easily
- 18:52been in a situation where somebody could
- 18:53have told me about Bitcoin I remember
- 18:54telling a buddy multi-millionaire stock
- 18:56Trader in 2017 by Bitcoin buy Bitcoin
- 18:59buy Bitcoin get into crypto get into no
- 19:01it's a scam it's a Ponzi no I'm going to
- 19:04trade my penny stocks I'm going to do my
- 19:06own
- 19:07thing
- 19:09and he ended up buying the top in
- 19:122021 you know what I mean
- 19:15so everybody eventually will capitulate
- 19:17into crypto because it is an asset class
- 19:21that will exist and we go into a digital
- 19:23world you need digital money so from
- 19:27a logical standpoint it makes sense
- 19:31crypto makes sense and what we need to
- 19:34understand is that there's es and flows
- 19:35of the market there's demand and at the
- 19:38end of the day there's also saturation
- 19:40at some point there is no more money for
- 19:43it to like continue going and I saw that
- 19:46with crypto maybe I got lucky selling at
- 19:4855,000 but does it really
- 19:51matter also do you notice that um not
- 19:55hesitating when you make choices is a
- 19:57really big part of the so even though
- 19:59you know you made a wrong choice you did
- 20:01it without hesitation because if you
- 20:02keep doing things without hesitation and
- 20:04start making better choices you start
- 20:06making the right choices while being
- 20:08sure because what I notice sometimes is
- 20:11you try and do something and even though
- 20:12you get better because you know there's
- 20:14more possibilities you start to hesitate
- 20:16about the choices you make and you don't
- 20:18fully commit did you have to go through
- 20:20the Journey of not hesitating about the
- 20:23choices or have you always been
- 20:24completely sure about all the choices
- 20:26you made I think it's about the
- 20:27information that you have and about the
- 20:29level of conviction because you have to
- 20:31be convicted about something right you
- 20:32have to put your chips on the table
- 20:34about something and the last thing you
- 20:36want to do is live the whatif game I can
- 20:38always make more money right I and I by
- 20:41no mean means am I advocating hey you
- 20:43have $5,000 in the bank go put all of
- 20:45your money in crypto no go learn how to
- 20:47make money go learn how to develop cash
- 20:50flow go learn how to build a business I
- 20:53had enough money whereby if I lost that
- 20:54money in crypto I knew I was going to
- 20:56make it again but it was a bet I was
- 20:58willing to take and I took the BET and
- 21:00it worked and I realized that if I lost
- 21:03that bet I was okay too why because I
- 21:06developed the skills to build and scale
- 21:08digital businesses so it wasn't a
- 21:10confidence on the decision it was a
- 21:12confidence in my ability to make
- 21:14decisions yeah based off of the skills
- 21:16that I had developed yeah and if the
- 21:18decision doesn't play out that's okay
- 21:20because I've have developed the skills
- 21:22and I have trust in who myself I'm going
- 21:25to [ __ ] up but it's all a game of
- 21:27probabilities it's not a game of luck
- 21:29and you have to increase your
- 21:30probabilities by increasing your skill
- 21:32set and that's what a lot of people
- 21:34don't do they don't work and they don't
- 21:36increase their skill set Leonardo da
- 21:38Vinci famously
- 21:41said God will sell you anything at the
- 21:44price of
- 21:45Labor and that is true so what you have
- 21:48to do is if you want something you have
- 21:50to work for it and most people that
- 21:53think that the world is based off of
- 21:55luck have never truly worked for
- 21:57something not enough to understand that
- 22:00luck does not exist it's merely a game
- 22:02of probabilities you work hard you work
- 22:05more you work longer and eventually you
- 22:07can increase your odds of success [ __ ] I
- 22:09wonder do you still drink tap water I do
- 22:12yeah you do every day there's a lot to
- 22:14do about tap water these days I know and
- 22:16I drink like two liters a day yeah me to
- 22:19I drink quite a lot of tap water but the
- 22:22more and more people are turning on tap
- 22:23water because it would be very bad for
- 22:25you and I think all the people that
- 22:27listen to this that are for example from
- 22:29America they've got a pretty good case
- 22:31to make about not drinking the tap water
- 22:34uh because there's a lot of fluoride in
- 22:36some of the waters and other [ __ ] and in
- 22:37the Netherlands more people are turning
- 22:39on top water tap water as well but the
- 22:41funny thing is that one of the biggest
- 22:43problems about the water but the food as
- 22:46well it's not about the fluoride or
- 22:47those shits it's about something
- 22:49completely different do you know what
- 22:51I'm hinting at I'm thinking that you are
- 22:55talking about the pest if I it good
- 22:59inates phades and edcs edcs which is
- 23:03short for endocrine disruptive chemicals
- 23:07like microplastics right yeah it's it's
- 23:09usually microplastics are are a big part
- 23:11of them uh BPA as well which used to be
- 23:14in a lot of plastic bottles you leave
- 23:16them out in your car after you drink the
- 23:18water you're drinking almost pure cancer
- 23:21is what they say but uh these endocrine
- 23:25disruptive uh chemicals let's just call
- 23:27them edcs uh nowadays they're in most of
- 23:30our food most of our water and they're a
- 23:33very big problem they're even this big
- 23:35that over the last 50 years the male
- 23:39testosterone levels dropped over 50%
- 23:43over 50% exactly over 50% even better
- 23:46there was a recent study as well which
- 23:48looked at 21 years old in the year of
- 23:502019 so it's a few years back uh they
- 23:53looked at their testosterone level and
- 23:55if you look at the testosterone level in
- 23:572019 of the 21y old meal and you look at
- 24:01the average testosterone level of the
- 24:03same 21y old meal 15 years back so when
- 24:07you were 21 15 years earlier so in 2004
- 24:11mhm they used to have a 36% higher
- 24:15testosterone levels on average so we are
- 24:19less masculine yeah than we're [ __ ]
- 24:23we're actually [ __ ] yeah we're [ __ ]
- 24:25just it's not getting better right no
- 24:27man it so it's dro by about 2% a year so
- 24:30if you're looking at a couple of decades
- 24:32down the down the line there's a chance
- 24:35that we're nearing z% male testosterone
- 24:38is that even possible I mean 0% is
- 24:40probably not possible because then you
- 24:42would be all out of whack and I don't
- 24:43think it's possible but levels are going
- 24:45to be very [ __ ] low yeah and the
- 24:48results are going to be uh of course not
- 24:51being able to reproduce so this uh what
- 24:55do you call it overpopulation problem
- 24:57well it's going to be fixed in a couple
- 24:59decades yeah we don't have to do
- 25:01anything about it be just keep eating
- 25:03the [ __ ] Plastics and drinking and
- 25:05eating the shitty food and let your
- 25:07testosterone levels go to [ __ ] but we
- 25:10recently start started using a
- 25:11supplement to upgrade our own
- 25:14testosterone levels which is pine pollen
- 25:16and pine pollen um we use on a daily
- 25:20basis we just add it to our supplement
- 25:21stack and it's very interesting because
- 25:24I've got it here because I've been using
- 25:26it but there are so many different good
- 25:28things about Pine POA that I had to
- 25:29write them down cuz I don't all know him
- 25:31but the main thing is uh being an
- 25:34entrepreneur Your vitality and energy
- 25:36levels are very important because you're
- 25:37vital and you have a lot of energy
- 25:39you're able to focus you're able to put
- 25:40in a lot of deep work and get [ __ ]
- 25:43done so it's crucial for successful days
- 25:47and since taking the pine polus because
- 25:49we've done it a couple of months now to
- 25:50perform our health um it doesn't only
- 25:53boost your testosterone but it also
- 25:54boosts your uh Focus reduces stress
- 25:57levels and I can read here because I
- 25:59don't know all the [ __ ] out of my head
- 26:00it's 100% natural figured that's much
- 26:03because it's just Pine poem uh and it
- 26:05contains over 200 active compounds okay
- 26:09um it's very readily absorbed by your
- 26:12body so it's very easy then there's a
- 26:14big question is the miracle cure no [ __ ]
- 26:17no uh your sleep needs to be good your
- 26:19nutrition needs to be right you need to
- 26:21uh exercise regularly because that's the
- 26:23[ __ ] Baseline if you're not doing
- 26:24that yeah of course your testosterone
- 26:26levels are going to be [ __ ] but just
- 26:28like taking creatine um there are extra
- 26:31things you can do and pine pollen is one
- 26:33of those things and what do a lot of
- 26:34people cuz we've been using it but there
- 26:36are hundreds of listeners that are using
- 26:38it as well and what have you been
- 26:40hearing from them uh higher energy level
- 26:42levels throughout the day increased
- 26:44Focus reduced brain fog um and improved
- 26:47Sexual Health with natural testosterone
- 26:49which is very nice but what makes the
- 26:51pine pollen so powerful do you
- 26:53know I I don't actually no I was looking
- 26:57into this a bit further cuz I've been
- 26:58using it for quite a while but I don't
- 27:01always take the time to go really deep
- 27:02in certain supplements but for this one
- 27:04I did because of course it's a partner
- 27:06of us as well and I've been using it for
- 27:08quite some time tell me it's speed with
- 27:10a lot of nutrients including amino acids
- 27:13vitamins a b complex c e a lot of
- 27:16minerals
- 27:17antioxidants um enzymes PL plant steril
- 27:22nucle acids and healthy fatty acids so
- 27:26it provides everything that your body
- 27:27needs for growth recovery and optimal
- 27:29function uh there's a lot of
- 27:32dhae in it as well from the top of my
- 27:35head whatever it's very good for you and
- 27:38I've been seeing a lot of improvement in
- 27:40my focus energy whatever and a lot of
- 27:42our listeners as well so what did we get
- 27:44we got a code Lot 10 you will see it in
- 27:47the screen here somewhere you can try it
- 27:49for less than one euro per day so that's
- 27:53$120 or something per day uh you can use
- 27:56the link down below use the code not to
- 27:5810 to get 10% off and get it for less
- 28:00than a EUR a day test it out for a month
- 28:03see what it does for you it's been doing
- 28:05wonders for me and just start using
- 28:09offense as your best defense so click
- 28:12the link down below and the Beautiful
- 28:14Thing is as well you can use the code as
- 28:16many times as you want on every repeat
- 28:18order then I really wonder how you look
- 28:20at like for example we spoken to some
- 28:22entrepreneurs that tried their whole
- 28:25life and had maybe a bit of success or
- 28:27touch their first Mill million then all
- 28:28lost it and then never got to the point
- 28:31of the success where they can die happy
- 28:33or die satisfied where do you think
- 28:36those types of people go wrong because
- 28:38they seem to be working hard or at least
- 28:40they think what is the thing that
- 28:43they're not doing correct or what's
- 28:44going wrong and them not succeeding in
- 28:46what they want to reach just because
- 28:48you're busy doesn't mean you're
- 28:49productive true and a lot of people
- 28:52think that because they're busy they're
- 28:53actually productive mhm I can see a lot
- 28:56of entrepreneurs see how they conduct
- 28:58their daily life look at their daily
- 28:59habits and realize if they're going to
- 29:01be successful or not why because the
- 29:03allocation of time which is one of the
- 29:06resources that you have the allocation
- 29:08of
- 29:09energy another resource that you have
- 29:11and the allocation of attention another
- 29:14resource that you have are disp dispar
- 29:18and they are dispersed everywhere there
- 29:20is no sort of focused attention towards
- 29:23an objective so everybody that says oh
- 29:25no I'm working hard I I keep try I'm
- 29:28always educating myself I'm I'm
- 29:31investing my time wisely if you actually
- 29:33evaluated these people's lives you would
- 29:35realize that it's [ __ ] because most
- 29:38people waste time they was waste energy
- 29:41and they waste attention but if you
- 29:43could focus energy time and tension in
- 29:45the development of your character in the
- 29:47development of your relationships in the
- 29:48development of money-making skills
- 29:50there's skills that help you make money
- 29:52MH money making money is a skill MH if
- 29:56you don't make money you have not
- 29:58develop the skill of making money and
- 30:00for you to consider that you have is a
- 30:03lie MH so if you look at your bank
- 30:05account and your bank account reflects x
- 30:08amount of balance it's a direct
- 30:10correlation on your level of skill when
- 30:14it comes to making money if it's low
- 30:16well my friend you don't know how to
- 30:18make money if it's high my friend you
- 30:20know how to make money and there's
- 30:22different proportions and different
- 30:23levels to that now there are instances
- 30:26of luck I'm not saying that luck doesn't
- 30:28exist but I also understand that I can
- 30:31create my own luck by increasing my odds
- 30:33of success who I surround myself with
- 30:36what I listen to how I educate myself
- 30:39who I listen to what I do with my daily
- 30:42habits and eventually I can turn this
- 30:47unlucky beginning or the cards that I've
- 30:49been dealt of being an immigrant having
- 30:51$200 flying from Argentina in the flight
- 30:54attendant chair because somebody I
- 30:56couldn't even get a coach
- 30:59right to becoming a
- 31:01multi-millionaire I'm pretty curious
- 31:04then a lot of people are talking these
- 31:07days about the energy that you have
- 31:09during the day you have 24 hours the
- 31:12time it's OB obviously very clear but
- 31:16your
- 31:17energy how do you give something your
- 31:20energy like on what places and what
- 31:23things how do you spend your energy well
- 31:26first you need to know what your goal is
- 31:28is M most people walk around with no
- 31:30goals no ambition they don't know where
- 31:32they're going it's like a ship with no
- 31:36destination if you don't know where
- 31:37you're going you'll never get there once
- 31:39you know where you want to go then you
- 31:41direct your time your energy and your
- 31:43attention to what to the execution and
- 31:46the achievement of that goal if you want
- 31:49to make money you will make money if you
- 31:53want a good Network you will have a good
- 31:55network if you want to build a great
- 31:57podcast with great hosts and great
- 31:59guests you will build a podcast in that
- 32:02way it's all about intention but most
- 32:05people walk around with in life thinking
- 32:07that life is just a big fat Lottery and
- 32:09it's just not that case those that live
- 32:11by the lottery of Life most likely end
- 32:14up losing because you're just gambling I
- 32:17don't want to gamble with my life so
- 32:18what I do is I set a goal and then I
- 32:20focus my time energy and attention which
- 32:22truly are the only assets that you have
- 32:24so when a lot of people come to me
- 32:25they're like Luke I have nothing brother
- 32:28you and I have the same exact thing time
- 32:29energy and
- 32:31attention but what you use your time for
- 32:33it doesn't yield a return what I use my
- 32:36time for yields a return you get paid in
- 32:39proportion to the difficulty of the
- 32:40problems that you solve Elon mus said
- 32:42that once you get paid in proportion to
- 32:45the difficulty of the problems that you
- 32:46solve most people that don't make money
- 32:48they don't solve problems MH they don't
- 32:50spot problems they don't capitalize on
- 32:53problems if you if you solve small
- 32:55problems you'll get paid very little the
- 32:57guy flipping the patties like Tate says
- 32:59somebody's got to flip the [ __ ]
- 33:01Burgers that's true but they solve very
- 33:04small problems they get paid in
- 33:06proportion to what solving that problem
- 33:08you put a man on Mars you'll get paid in
- 33:10proportion to solving that problem so
- 33:12you need to focus your time your energy
- 33:14and attention to solving big problems
- 33:17and hopefully your goal is to serve
- 33:18Humanity so you align your goal in a
- 33:23with a servant's heart of providing for
- 33:25Humanity and of course there's scammers
- 33:27out there there's people that aren't
- 33:29aren't good but I'm not talking about
- 33:31those I'm not talking to those people
- 33:32I'm talking about people I want to build
- 33:33real sustainable
- 33:36and scalable
- 33:39businesses that is going to require time
- 33:41energy and attention but you need to
- 33:43know where you're going what were the
- 33:45goals that you had when you came over to
- 33:47the states with the $200 and and did you
- 33:50have the big goals or did you have to
- 33:52figure them out yet or did you have a
- 33:53very clear goal as you have right now my
- 33:55goal was freedom
- 33:57mhm that's it mhm and I had freedom when
- 34:00I was living in my brother's apartment
- 34:03spending $200 a month in rent sleeping
- 34:05on his on his couch I had freedom now
- 34:10Freedom needs to be earned but it also
- 34:12needs to be maintained naal rant
- 34:15famously
- 34:16said people that live beyond their
- 34:21means do not experience
- 34:23peace then he says people that live
- 34:27below their means will experience a
- 34:29level of peace that those above their
- 34:30means will never experience so Freedom
- 34:33can be experienced you don't have to be
- 34:34making a ton of money so my objective
- 34:36was Freedom right and I achieved that by
- 34:39sleeping
- 34:41$200 uh a month on a on a on a couch to
- 34:44them Focus what my time energy and
- 34:47attention to making more money but a lot
- 34:49of [ __ ] live beyond their means
- 34:50their time and energy and focus is is
- 34:52what spent on paying their bills MH
- 34:54they're in a relationship that's toxic
- 34:57that is not supporting their Endeavors
- 34:58and their goals so they spend their time
- 35:00energy and attention supplying that
- 35:02person they're friends right they're not
- 35:05good friends so they spend their time
- 35:06energy and attention with people that
- 35:08are not Roi positive and their daily
- 35:11actions and their habits right they
- 35:13spend their time energy and attention on
- 35:15those things that yield no result I had
- 35:17good relationships good friendships good
- 35:20networking good habits and I live below
- 35:23my means so that I could focus my time
- 35:25energy and attention on making money how
- 35:28should one go about finding out for
- 35:30themselves if they're on the right path
- 35:32or no because if you say it like that
- 35:34it's very easy but I can imagine that
- 35:36there are people listening and thinking
- 35:38I really love my girl we fight sometimes
- 35:41but then she makes me happy sometimes as
- 35:42well do I need to skip her or do I need
- 35:45to stay with her so how do you go about
- 35:47finding out for yourself if you're
- 35:49allocating your time right if you're
- 35:50with the right person how do you figure
- 35:52it out you need to know your goal you
- 35:55need to establish your goal and then you
- 35:57need need to ask yourself if what you're
- 35:59doing is purposeful and beneficial to
- 36:03the achievement of your goal mhm a good
- 36:05thing at the wrong time can become a bad
- 36:10thing it's like giving a razor to a baby
- 36:14and expecting the baby not to cut
- 36:15himself but when you give the razor to a
- 36:18man MH the man knows how to use it so
- 36:21the issue may not be the relationship
- 36:22the issue may not be the girl the issue
- 36:24may be your inability to establish goals
- 36:26to establish balance boundaries and
- 36:28therefore to be in an environment where
- 36:31you can still pursue your goals
- 36:33effectively a good thing at the wrong
- 36:35time may be a bad thing the relationship
- 36:36may not be a bad thing it may just not
- 36:39be the right time MH so how does one go
- 36:42about setting goals because sometimes
- 36:44you hear about these things like set a
- 36:46date set a number uh make it conceive it
- 36:49see it every day how do you go go about
- 36:51making goals that that really give you a
- 36:54goal to work towards I often talk about
- 36:56the Symphony of success mhm what does
- 36:59succcess sound like to you not what
- 37:02success means to me not what success
- 37:04means to your parents to your friends to
- 37:07the system what does success sound like
- 37:11to you what is your Symphony of success
- 37:12when you hear successful living a
- 37:14successful life what comes to mind MH
- 37:17for a musician it may be be really good
- 37:20at playing an
- 37:22instrument for me it may be developing a
- 37:25phenomenal business mhm for an athlete
- 37:28it may be developing a great athletic
- 37:30career what is your Symphony of success
- 37:32it really depends on the individual
- 37:34that's why there's no one spectrum of
- 37:36success there is one number to achieve
- 37:38that defines success that is my
- 37:40definition of success but that is for me
- 37:43why because every person beautifully has
- 37:46been created to have their own
- 37:49specificity so you have your own dreams
- 37:52you have your own Ambitions you have
- 37:53your own Symphony of success you need to
- 37:55find that and how you find it from
- 37:58deprogramming from the [ __ ] that
- 38:01everybody else has told you of what it
- 38:03means to be successful mhm you need to
- 38:06stop listening to others and start
- 38:08listening to yourself but the problem is
- 38:10nobody knows how to listen to themselves
- 38:12they're scrolling on Tik Tok music gone
- 38:14loud every day when they're driving
- 38:16[ __ ] radio turned on when they're
- 38:18home scrolling on their phones when they
- 38:20ask for opinions they ask for opinions
- 38:22from other people they ain't even asking
- 38:23opinions from themselves they're going
- 38:25to a [ __ ] psychologist asking a
- 38:26psychologist just for wisdom and advice
- 38:29on how to live their lives and they're
- 38:31paying this [ __ ] money and all
- 38:33you are is a client so might as well
- 38:34keep this person sick as long as
- 38:36possible or deranged or in the loop of
- 38:38coming and sitting on the chair why
- 38:40because they're paying for the [ __ ]
- 38:42mortgage when is the last time you sat
- 38:44down and defined your Symphony of
- 38:45success what does success look like to
- 38:48you to me it's not having a ton of
- 38:50properties and living in a big fat box
- 38:52and having a ton of supercars no to me
- 38:55it's
- 38:55freedom and I found that early on now I
- 38:59just am able to experience a different
- 39:00level of Freedom with more toys and more
- 39:03things and I can bring people along that
- 39:05Journey with me to enjoy it that is my
- 39:07Symphony of success and if I was
- 39:10to cater or falter to what other people
- 39:14told me what success was then I have
- 39:18gone from successful to
- 39:20unsuccessful okay but you say freedom
- 39:23when you come to America do you say you
- 39:26actually if experience that freedom
- 39:28right but then you already achieved your
- 39:31goal and then you want to maintain it
- 39:34but it's like a happy person that wants
- 39:36to stay happy right he's going to do
- 39:39everything to keep his happiness but
- 39:41that actually makes him more sad because
- 39:44you cannot always stay happy all the
- 39:47time how does that go with freedom
- 39:49because sometimes you have
- 39:52to maybe work like you said like you're
- 39:55sleeping on the couch and you have to
- 39:57work you have to do s uh door Todo sales
- 40:00you have to do other stuff that's not
- 40:02actually really Freedom right so what
- 40:04was your purpose then when you came to
- 40:07the US like you experienc freedom but
- 40:11what goal was next for you then well you
- 40:14defined two different things you the
- 40:16first thing you mentioned was happiness
- 40:19yeah happiness is an emotion so it comes
- 40:21and goes so anybody that's pursuing
- 40:23something that's
- 40:24fleeting will not be able to hold on to
- 40:27it why because you cannot be a happy
- 40:29person all the time so to pursue
- 40:32happiness is an unachievable goal but to
- 40:36pursue freedom freedom is a state of
- 40:39mind right freedom is a state of being
- 40:42it's not an emotion I can still be sad
- 40:44and be
- 40:45free I can still be happy and be free so
- 40:49if somebody that's like well I want to
- 40:50be a happy person well good luck bro
- 40:53good luck good luck being free right
- 40:55good luck being happy it's to different
- 40:57things this idea of being happy is this
- 41:01concept that people have been sold right
- 41:04that life is about happiness but what if
- 41:07life wasn't about happiness what if life
- 41:10is about experiencing every aspect and
- 41:12every emotion that life has wouldn't you
- 41:15want to experience the full set in range
- 41:18of
- 41:18emotions that life has to offer you the
- 41:21sadness the heartbreaks The Joy right
- 41:24you can't have happiness without sorrow
- 41:26mhm you you can't have pleasure without
- 41:28pain and to neglect one thing is to
- 41:31neglect
- 41:32life so why would you neglect these
- 41:35things and in order for you to achieve
- 41:37Freedom you need to be able to
- 41:40understand that you need to be
- 41:41unwaveringly decided to enjoy every
- 41:45aspect of EX of the experience of life
- 41:47and the problem is most of the aspects
- 41:49of experiencing life fully are haltered
- 41:54or deterred or slowed down by the bus
- 41:57buiness of Life the unpr unproductive
- 42:00things of Life the 9 to5 MH the only
- 42:03reason you have a 9 to5 people like well
- 42:07I have
- 42:08responsibilities you establish these
- 42:10responsibilities on yourself mhm you
- 42:13decided how much you were going to pay
- 42:14for rent you decided how much you were
- 42:17going to pay for that car you have a kid
- 42:20you decide to [ __ ] that
- 42:22[ __ ] it's your responsibility every
- 42:25every aspect of your life
- 42:28every responsibility that you have is
- 42:29self-imposed for the most part there are
- 42:32exceptions so your question is how much
- 42:34responsibility do you want look at a
- 42:36[ __ ] dog bro zero responsibilities
- 42:39Liv is happy as hell yeah true true
- 42:42there's a there's an ancient proverb
- 42:45that
- 42:46says walk like a turtle sleep like a dog
- 42:50and you'll be
- 42:52happy so I wonder it seems to me that
- 42:55you've on the one hand taken a lot of
- 42:57time to um develop yourself on the
- 43:00business side you've made money you've
- 43:03had some very successful businesses
- 43:05which takes up quite a lot of time but
- 43:07you also seem to me to have a lot of
- 43:09knowledge or at least have a lot of have
- 43:12done a a lot of self-reflection to
- 43:14understand more about the world as you
- 43:16see it and the world as you think it
- 43:20works did you have time in the time when
- 43:23you came to the US you started the grind
- 43:25as most people call it did you have time
- 43:28to reflect as well in that time to
- 43:29really get to know yourself or did this
- 43:31come at a later time when you had some
- 43:33money and took time to reflect in
- 43:35yourself because what I noticed is even
- 43:38though I'm an entrepreneur and I try to
- 43:39be free as we all want to be freedom is
- 43:42the the name of the game I end up
- 43:45getting into my own red race which is
- 43:47even though I'm not working 9 to5 the
- 43:49red race I created for myself which is
- 43:51working 5 to n flipped it around and I
- 43:56end up not having time to reflect on
- 43:58what I really want or really want to do
- 44:00and things slowly start to become
- 44:02business goals instead of living out of
- 44:06purpose did you always have the time to
- 44:08live from purpose and
- 44:10reflect or how did you position your
- 44:13time to be able to do that you're
- 44:15wearing a nice suit today thank you your
- 44:19hair looks good thank you did you look
- 44:21in the
- 44:22mirror I think I did yeah reflect comes
- 44:26from the reflection C of the mirror mhm
- 44:29you had time for the outer canvas you
- 44:32have time for the inner
- 44:34canvas it's all what you deem a priority
- 44:37my friend
- 44:39true how did you go about that when you
- 44:41were for example uh doing e-commerce
- 44:44which I can imagine is quite a busy job
- 44:47or busy business to be engaged in how
- 44:50did you prision your time did you put in
- 44:53an hour every day to reflect on yourself
- 44:55or was it just a cons thing which you
- 44:57did whenever it came to you there's two
- 45:00types of ways of
- 45:03meditating you can say hey I'm going to
- 45:06go sit on this yoga mat close my eyes
- 45:08and try to clear my mind or you can be
- 45:11in a state of meditation what this means
- 45:14is that you're consciously aware you're
- 45:16always reflecting you talk bad to an
- 45:19employee you yell at the employee hm why
- 45:22did I do that where did that come from
- 45:25oh I lost money on a trade why do I feel
- 45:28anxious why did I feel like I had to
- 45:30place that
- 45:32trade you see somebody driving in a nice
- 45:34car you get a little bit jealous why am
- 45:37I jealous where is this where is this
- 45:39feeling coming from MH so you can either
- 45:43meditate upon things or you can live in
- 45:46a state of meditation whereby you are
- 45:48always reflecting on who you are and
- 45:51what is being displayed because the
- 45:53World shows you who you are if you watch
- 45:56and pay attention why because you are a
- 45:58reflection of it so what you see in the
- 46:00exterior is a reflection of what's
- 46:02Happening inside but you can change
- 46:04what's inside so this idea of not having
- 46:06any time it's most likely a Time
- 46:09allocation thing of time energy and
- 46:12attention if you have time energy and
- 46:14attention to reflect on the internal
- 46:16then you'll look extremely nice we
- 46:18interrupt this episode because you are
- 46:20wasting time and if you're not wasting
- 46:23time then you're probably wasting money
- 46:26these days if you quickly want to find
- 46:28something on YouTube you're probably
- 46:31spending one to two or 3 minutes just
- 46:33watching non-skippable ads because I
- 46:35guess YouTube is got to get their ad
- 46:37rates up so a lot of people started
- 46:40using YouTube premium but YouTube
- 46:42premium these days is expensive as hell
- 46:44because you're in the Netherlands paying
- 46:46€1 a month and in the states I think $12
- 46:49or $13 a month so quite expensive I
- 46:53recently found out that in Turkey
- 46:56YouTube premium is 1/10th of the price
- 46:58in Turkey you pay about €150 a month but
- 47:02how do I get my Ure premium from Turkey
- 47:06do I have to move there do I have to
- 47:08speak Turkish no none of that is needed

- 48:42to the episode also said like earlier in
- 48:45this conversation that someone has to
- 48:48look at him or herself and ask what or
- 48:53who they want to become like what is the
- 48:55person uh in three years and who do how
- 48:58do you want to look who who want you to
- 49:01be um and I'm really curious like when
- 49:05you were like 16 or 18 now you are like
- 49:08how old are you 20 28 28 so 10 years ago
- 49:12when you were like
- 49:1518 who do you want to be like what kind
- 49:18of person the best version of myself and
- 49:22who was that for you I have yet to tell
- 49:23you brother I'll let you know when I die
- 49:27a work in progress I can't tell you
- 49:29whether I'm successful successful or not
- 49:31now I I'll tell you on my deathbed why
- 49:34because it's a progressive realization
- 49:36of yourself you're consistently
- 49:39realizing that you can become better and
- 49:41better and better it's like going to one
- 49:45skyscraper and being able to see the
- 49:47surroundings versus seeing something
- 49:49from the floor level you can't see what
- 49:51you can't see so my goal is just to
- 49:53become better and better and better not
- 49:55self-sabotage
- 49:57not be a liar not be a hypocrite be
- 50:01authentic and in the authenticity I can
- 50:04climb levels become better and the more
- 50:07I can see right the clearer life becomes
- 50:11so maybe in 10 years my definition of
- 50:13success completely changes who knows bro
- 50:16that's the beauty of Life yeah is
- 50:18Everything Changes consistently as you
- 50:19Garden more information so 10 years ago
- 50:22I was like dude I just want to be free
- 50:24today I'll tell you the same thing I'm a
- 50:26free man
- 50:27mhm right but I get to enjoy things
- 50:30pretty nicely I get to build my
- 50:33character I get to spend time reading I
- 50:35get to spend time hanging out with you
- 50:37guys hanging out with friends I get to
- 50:39build businesses that are no longer
- 50:41based off of just money I was talking
- 50:42with a buddy who drove me here uh
- 50:45Alexander and he was basically telling
- 50:47me hey like what have you been working
- 50:49on the last two years I'm like the same
- 50:50thing I've been I've been working on
- 50:52Capital Club and to a lot of
- 50:54entrepreneurs that's a shock cuz it's
- 50:55like how's Capital Club Club making
- 50:57money I like I don't have to make money
- 50:58every day I've already made money if all
- 51:02my life is built around making money
- 51:05then I'm just like you mentioned a rat
- 51:07in my own race MH I do not want to be a
- 51:10fat rat in the race of life it doesn't
- 51:13matter because I'm still a [ __ ] rat
- 51:15you know what I mean
- 51:16so sometimes you do things for
- 51:19money sometimes you do them for get to
- 51:21get paid sometimes you do them for
- 51:23pleasure sometimes you do them for
- 51:25profit sometimes you do them for passion
- 51:27and it's in the beauty of doing these
- 51:28things and evolving and experiencing
- 51:30different things of life that you get to
- 51:32become well-rounded and my objective is
- 51:35to become the best version of myself I
- 51:37don't know what the best version of
- 51:38myself is I just know the sky's the
- 51:41limit yeah and when you ask those
- 51:43questions right like you're reflecting
- 51:46on yourself and you ask the questions
- 51:48why I'm doing this or why am I getting
- 51:51mad or why am am I feeling these
- 51:54emotions a lot of times we have a lot of
- 51:57conversations about this you can ask the
- 52:00question why and you can have the answer
- 52:04but then you have to do something with
- 52:06that answer and when you have like a
- 52:09busy life you have a lot of not a lot of
- 52:12energy left not a lot of attention or
- 52:14time left and to then like change your
- 52:19character because you ask a lot of why
- 52:21questions so you know that you can
- 52:23become better right maybe you want to
- 52:25quit smoking maybe you want want to
- 52:27exercise more maybe you want to eat more
- 52:29healthier but it's not always the time
- 52:33to do that right or do you think that
- 52:35when you have the realization that you
- 52:37can do better you have to do better how
- 52:39do you think about that I think that
- 52:41there's a season in life for everything
- 52:44mhm there's a season for money there's a
- 52:47season for fun there's a season for hard
- 52:50work you have to determine that season
- 52:53based on your goals right so for me
- 52:57at some point right I realized that my
- 53:00health was more important than the money
- 53:02why because I began to understand what
- 53:04wealth was by definition wealth people
- 53:07are like oh this person's wealthy well
- 53:08what does it mean to be wealthy what
- 53:11does it mean is it just money MH that's
- 53:13what everybody's told us oh this
- 53:14person's wealthy you know they're a
- 53:16billionaire they're wealthy but are they
- 53:18will really wealthy or they are they
- 53:19just a person that has
- 53:21money wealth by definition my friend is
- 53:23not money it's
- 53:25abundance abundance do you live an
- 53:27Abundant Life are you healthy do people
- 53:30love you do you love people do you walk
- 53:33around with joy and gratitude are you
- 53:36financially stable are you are you free
- 53:39do you have the ability to do what you
- 53:40want wherever you want however you want
- 53:43MH This Is wealth wealth is abundance so
- 53:47if you're lacking in an area of your
- 53:49life to create true wealth you should
- 53:52focus on those things right so at some
- 53:54point it's okay to make less money so
- 53:56you can spend more time developing your
- 53:59health at some point I was talking with
- 54:01a with a guy out of
- 54:04Singapore we had a conversation for
- 54:06Capitol Club it's coming this
- 54:09summer and he he's done over $700
- 54:12million in real estate development and
- 54:14just sold that right like a [ __ ] ton of
- 54:16money and he said people spend 20,000
- 54:19hours developing their business skills
- 54:23but they don't spend a single hour
- 54:25developing their family
- 54:28skills and he's like isn't that
- 54:32important and I'm like yeah bro it's
- 54:34[ __ ] important he's like yeah so I
- 54:36already put in my 20,000 hours in
- 54:38business I'm going to spend 20,000 hours
- 54:40with my
- 54:41family to develop how to be a good
- 54:44husband and how to be a good father and
- 54:46how to be a good man why because he
- 54:49understands what wealth means abundance
- 54:52and it's in understanding these
- 54:54conversations and then speaking with
- 54:55different people that your goals begin
- 54:57to be realigned mhm right that's the the
- 55:00entire premise of playing the game but
- 55:02if you're in the rat race it's the same
- 55:04Loop and the same [ __ ] time and time
- 55:06again day and day again no wonder you
- 55:09live a life of misery because you're not
- 55:11living your fullest potential you're not
- 55:13living and being and having a life of
- 55:16abundance you're merely a cog in the
- 55:18machine of life because you have
- 55:22surrendered to the dreams and Ambitions
- 55:24of other men MH
- 55:27through social media pushed upon you
- 55:29probably the system brother so who's the
- 55:32person you look at saying they're truly
- 55:33wealthy in the way you describe
- 55:37it I don't know because I don't know the
- 55:40intricacies of people's lives true yeah
- 55:43all I can ask myself is am I living
- 55:45authentically and am I pursuing a life
- 55:48of well-rounded balanced wealth and
- 55:51right now I think I am there's always
- 55:54areas to work on but uh when we do a
- 55:57second podcast I think uh you guys will
- 56:00be able to see some improvements on my
- 56:02end as well so cool so what's your focus
- 56:05right now because you said everything is
- 56:06in a season usually what season are you
- 56:09in at the moment I'm in the season of
- 56:11building Capital Club you know in
- 56:132019 I had gotten scammed pretty big
- 56:16scam uh in in an investment it was
- 56:19almost a million dollars
- 56:21900,000 and I was like dang you know I'm
- 56:24a poor person with money that's what
- 56:27I was like I got money but I'm kind of
- 56:28stupid yeah nice okay you know you know
- 56:31you've seen those crypto guys you know
- 56:33they make they make some money but
- 56:34they're dumb we've been to Dubai
- 56:36before they're all over brother they're
- 56:38in Miami as well they're in La okay
- 56:40haven't been there yet but we'll find
- 56:42out so there's this saying if if you
- 56:44make a million dollars you best become a
- 56:46millionaire if not you will lose it yeah
- 56:49so I realized in 2019 I was a poor
- 56:51person with money I had no network I had
- 56:53no
- 56:54connections I didn't really have much
- 56:56than more than just money and I said if
- 56:58money is all I have then I don't have
- 56:59much and I know that may sound difficult
- 57:01for people that don't have money because
- 57:02money is such an important thing MH but
- 57:05once you have money you need to be able
- 57:07to develop the skills to what maintain
- 57:09money so in my bedroom 2019 I launched
- 57:11Capital Club why because I wanted to
- 57:13create a network and an environment for
- 57:15me what did I need as an entrepreneur I
- 57:17haven't created Capital Club for other
- 57:19people I created Capital Club knowing
- 57:21what I needed as an entrepreneur and it
- 57:23just happens to resonate with everybody
- 57:25else cuz guess what we're all human
- 57:26so maybe we need all similar things we
- 57:30need good relationships good networks
- 57:32trusted mentors trusted mentees trusted
- 57:36peers right that you can be authentic
- 57:39with I mean Alexander's here watching
- 57:41from backstage he's been to every
- 57:43Capitol Club event and the reason
- 57:46members continue coming back and back
- 57:47again is because there's an environment
- 57:49of
- 57:49authenticity giving without expecting
- 57:52and my entire premise was to create that
- 57:56so I created that in 2019 and that's
- 57:58kind of what I've been working on for
- 57:59the last couple years but I was working
- 58:01on it from the elite perspective right
- 58:03it was the membership was
- 58:05$15,000 uh a a very famous gamer just
- 58:08messaged me today to join Capitol Club
- 58:11his name's I think it's pronounced
- 58:13Mongrel and uh he's a big guy from FaZe
- 58:17Clan okay uh and he actually has made
- 58:20millions of dollars gaming and he
- 58:22messaged me he's like hey can I join
- 58:24Capital Club that guy has 15 ,000 to
- 58:26join a yearly membership and that make
- 58:28that guy makes a [ __ ] ton of
- 58:29money but on the other hand what could I
- 58:32do for the percents making $5,000 a
- 58:34month that's making $10,000 a month
- 58:37that's an aspiring entrepreneur so I
- 58:39decided to create the Capital Club
- 58:40membership and that is a dollar a day
- 58:43right dollar a day and the reason was
- 58:46very simple when I was waiting tables I
- 58:49had the opportunity once to wait tables
- 58:50for Jeff Bezos he left me 15% tip I
- 58:53still remember he didn't interact with
- 58:55me didn't interact with him but I was
- 58:57working in an environment where a lot of
- 58:59entrepreneurs came a lot of businessmen
- 59:01came a lot of people that work for the
- 59:02government there was a lot of important
- 59:04people and once you know I caught the
- 59:07attention of this one guy and I said hey
- 59:09can I take you out for coffee and he
- 59:11said yes why because we had a background
- 59:14you know he used to do sales I love
- 59:16sales things of this nature so he was
- 59:18like hey yeah let's sit down and talk
- 59:20and I paid for that coffee because
- 59:22that's all I could afford MH so my
- 59:24entire premise of building this
- 59:26membership for entrepreneurs to join
- 59:28that are aspiring entrepreneurs
- 59:29developing entrepreneurs was I want
- 59:31people to have a network mentors
- 59:34relationship and Academy and experience
- 59:36to develop for less than the price of a
- 59:38[ __ ] cup of coffee great and that's
- 59:41the entire premise for a dollar a day
- 59:44nice and how big is
- 59:46it well right
- 59:49now it's not open it's not open and
- 59:53that's because we well by the time the
- 59:56this podcast release it'll probably be
- 59:57open but our weight list is about 40,000
- 59:59people 40,000 40,000 people is the
- 1:00:02weight list and the weight list has been
- 1:00:04building for a long time our our high
- 1:00:06tier membership our weight my weight
- 1:00:08list is about 400 people there's only
- 1:00:10150 that actually are part of the
- 1:00:13network because quality matters more
- 1:00:16than quantity it does I learned this
- 1:00:19from
- 1:00:20leonitis leonitis in the 300 mhm they
- 1:00:24yeah they lost to Persia but they one
- 1:00:26hell of a battle and sometimes you just
- 1:00:28need 300 bad [ __ ] in your
- 1:00:30circle that are all about protecting the
- 1:00:33circle and are about integrity and unity
- 1:00:36and authenticity and vulnerability and
- 1:00:40really care about each other to do big
- 1:00:43things but if I can translate this to
- 1:00:46tens of thousands and hundred thousands
- 1:00:47of people potentially we can change the
- 1:00:52world part of the side quest pretty cool
- 1:00:56crazy man okay that's that's insane so
- 1:00:58how do you go about helping that many
- 1:01:00people cuz they've got I think pretty
- 1:01:03different goals maybe so what are couple
- 1:01:05of the things that you think
- 1:01:07entrepreneurs should know or should
- 1:01:09develop in that all those thousands of
- 1:01:12people got in common that they need to
- 1:01:14develop to become their wealthy self I
- 1:01:18often tell people that every man needs
- 1:01:20three relationships in their life in
- 1:01:21order for you to have Balanced Life as a
- 1:01:24man you need three relationship ships
- 1:01:26first you need a mentor somebody that
- 1:01:28has gone the path that you want to go
- 1:01:30that can instruct you and take you down
- 1:01:32the road avoiding the pitfalls and
- 1:01:35avoiding the mistakes and avoiding the
- 1:01:37troubles that come that way you need a
- 1:01:40peer somebody that is at your level at
- 1:01:42your equal that you can Mastermind with
- 1:01:44that you can build a think tank that you
- 1:01:46can go back and forth and discuss and
- 1:01:48argue and develop business and then you
- 1:01:51need a mentee whether it's your young
- 1:01:53brother or somebody that you bring into
- 1:01:56your business or an employee somebody
- 1:01:58that you pour yourself into why because
- 1:02:00those people keep you accountable those
- 1:02:02people are the ones that check you you
- 1:02:03know you often have your little sibling
- 1:02:05He he'll ask you questions and he'll
- 1:02:07check you with with authenticity and
- 1:02:09honesty and ask you [ __ ] you're like oh
- 1:02:10whoa like this this kid's paying
- 1:02:12attention right so every man in his life
- 1:02:15needs three relationships and under
- 1:02:16those three relationships Capital Cod
- 1:02:17has been built mentors peers and mentees
- 1:02:22that's why we have different tiers of
- 1:02:24Capital Club because the goal isn't just
- 1:02:26to receive but it's to give right who
- 1:02:29you give to who you network with and who
- 1:02:31do you listen to and you can have these
- 1:02:33three relationship in check which I
- 1:02:35believe every man needs your goals will
- 1:02:38be pursuable regardless of how different
- 1:02:41they are can you take us
- 1:02:43back to your first event that you did
- 1:02:46with Capital
- 1:02:47Club my first event was actually
- 1:02:512000 my first physical
- 1:02:53event whoa 2
- 1:02:5719 it was a free event in Los Angeles
- 1:03:00California with a a good buddy of mine
- 1:03:04and business partner name is Luca
- 1:03:06Nets uh he's very successful
- 1:03:08entrepreneur good friend and we just did
- 1:03:11a free e-commerce event for
- 1:03:13entrepreneurs to come and learn no no CH
- 1:03:16no charge anything and it was the
- 1:03:18concept of the pop-ups that I've built
- 1:03:20worldwide that are attracting literally
- 1:03:22thousands of people it's [ __ ] crazy
- 1:03:24it's giving with no expect just creating
- 1:03:26an environment of
- 1:03:28authenticity teaching people allowing
- 1:03:31people to hang out free food free
- 1:03:34environment come and chill so that was
- 1:03:37the first kind of experience then 2020
- 1:03:40had my first Elite Mastermind in Mexico
- 1:03:45and that's when we had about 30
- 1:03:47entrepreneurs come out pa a mul th000
- 1:03:50ticket to come and that was the first
- 1:03:52physical kind of paid event but ever
- 1:03:55since then do pop-ups all over the world
- 1:03:57Amsterdam Paris New York Miami Los
- 1:04:01Angeles Bali Singapore
- 1:04:04Dubai and I create an environment where
- 1:04:07entrepreneurs or aspiring entrepreneurs
- 1:04:08can come and hang out right no no no
- 1:04:12strings attached just come and chill
- 1:04:14these events cost me tens of thousands
- 1:04:16of dollars but at the at the sake of
- 1:04:19what at the exchange of what people
- 1:04:21having a great time people networking
- 1:04:22people connecting like I mentioned
- 1:04:24before at some point when you have money
- 1:04:26money is not the most important thing
- 1:04:29yeah I would like to have a private jet
- 1:04:30yeah I could buy a private jet but do I
- 1:04:32need a private jet no do I need 10 super
- 1:04:36cars they'd be cool do I need them no do
- 1:04:39I need a bigger box I just got done
- 1:04:40selling my home it was a $4 million
- 1:04:42house why because I don't need that [ __ ]
- 1:04:44MH I had people in my house all day I
- 1:04:46had a gardener I had the [ __ ]
- 1:04:47cleaners I had the pool guy I had the
- 1:04:49maintenance guy I had the air
- 1:04:51conditioning uh people that would come
- 1:04:53when the AC was leaking cuz I live in
- 1:04:55Puerto Rico with a mess right so I had
- 1:04:57all these people I'm like
- 1:04:59whoa where's my freedom mhm to walk
- 1:05:02around in my boxers in my own home you
- 1:05:04know what I mean just like normal things
- 1:05:07so my entire premise was to create an
- 1:05:09environment for entrepreneurs to level
- 1:05:11up to ask questions to be themselves
- 1:05:16I'll ask a person when they come up to
- 1:05:17me first thing hey how much money do you
- 1:05:19make you know what do you do for a
- 1:05:21living uh where are you currently at in
- 1:05:23your stage and I'll tell them don't lie
- 1:05:24to me mhm why because I'm creating this
- 1:05:26environment for people to be themselves
- 1:05:29because once you know who you are and
- 1:05:31you're authentic with yourself and you
- 1:05:33don't lie and you don't try to impress
- 1:05:34people then you can work on becoming
- 1:05:36better so I think Capital Club is net
- 1:05:38positive for the world and I think uh
- 1:05:41it's going to do great things that's Co
- 1:05:43very cool we talk talked about
- 1:05:46wealth I'm very very curious um I think
- 1:05:50you maybe later in life want to have
- 1:05:53children how do you look at generational
- 1:05:57wealth are you do you want to build that
- 1:06:00and if it the answer is yes how are you
- 1:06:03going to do
- 1:06:04that
- 1:06:06H Finance is the language of the
- 1:06:11elite mentioned this in a podcast
- 1:06:13previously Back In The
- 1:06:15Day The
- 1:06:18Peasants they were educated with the
- 1:06:21language of the peasants they didn't
- 1:06:22know how to read or write or speak they
- 1:06:25just worked in the fields the
- 1:06:27Kings the people that ran Society the
- 1:06:31feudal Lords they spoke Latin why
- 1:06:35because Latin was the language of the
- 1:06:38elite at the time the peasants they
- 1:06:40would go to the priest to have the
- 1:06:44priests read them the Bible why because
- 1:06:46well the Bible was written in Latin up
- 1:06:48until it was translated in English so
- 1:06:51the source of information came from what
- 1:06:53the elite today we no longer have Latin
- 1:06:56as a language of the elite we have
- 1:06:59finances so more instructing people
- 1:07:01instead of this transfer of wealth this
- 1:07:03this transfer of knowledge of how the
- 1:07:04world Works
- 1:07:06MH and whether I have children or not
- 1:07:09it's more
- 1:07:10so I I'm I'm passionate about orphans
- 1:07:13you know there's a lot of children with
- 1:07:16no parents uh that have no opportunity
- 1:07:20so once I take care of I I sponsor 38
- 1:07:22orphans right now really it's a it's a
- 1:07:25great Endeavor it's really nice I one of
- 1:07:27my Capitol club events uh I'm going to
- 1:07:30take my members to um to Thailand where
- 1:07:34I actually have uh a lot of orphans that
- 1:07:37I take care of to see if they sponsor a
- 1:07:39couple orphans themselves do some good
- 1:07:40[ __ ] with their
- 1:07:41money and whether I have kids or not
- 1:07:45it's about teaching people how to go
- 1:07:47from peasant to King how to go from Zero
- 1:07:49to Hero how to level up how to break the
- 1:07:52cycle of poverty and mental poverty and
- 1:07:54these Frameworks works of limitation of
- 1:07:56how the world
- 1:07:57works and you don't need to become a
- 1:08:00multi-millionaire in order to understand
- 1:08:02these things in order to learn these
- 1:08:03truths right as long as you are honest
- 1:08:07with yourself as long as your life is
- 1:08:10well balanced I have met people that are
- 1:08:12more joyful in enjoying life with very
- 1:08:15little you know they go out and they
- 1:08:17fish for their food every day I remember
- 1:08:19in Bali the guy didn't know anything
- 1:08:21about
- 1:08:22money but the guy would go fish his own
- 1:08:25stuff on his little boat come back smile
- 1:08:27have a good time time went time passed
- 1:08:30slow would hang out in the hammock some
- 1:08:32people be like a this guy's a bum he's
- 1:08:35enjoying himself so if he's enjoying
- 1:08:37himself and the guy at the Mansion the
- 1:08:38skyscraper is out here scrolling on
- 1:08:40Twitter feeling anxious and bitter and
- 1:08:43upset who's living a better life
- 1:08:46honestly speaking because at some point
- 1:08:49you have a roof over your head you have
- 1:08:51food in your mouth you have shelter you
- 1:08:53have people that love you everything
- 1:08:56else is a commodity and an extra
- 1:08:59so I'll let you know when I have
- 1:09:01children brother hopefully we're at a
- 1:09:03place where they can hang out together
- 1:09:05yours and mine man it would be great so
- 1:09:08I wonder what I notice in a lot of
- 1:09:10entrepreneurs and people across the
- 1:09:12board is if they strive for something
- 1:09:15bigger it may be money or maybe in
- 1:09:18sports there something there's a part of
- 1:09:21them that's not content with the place
- 1:09:23they're at right now so I don't have
- 1:09:25money right now and I want to be a
- 1:09:26millionaire or I'm not the number one in
- 1:09:29the world right now but I want to be and
- 1:09:32you start working and you have to find
- 1:09:34the balance between being content with
- 1:09:36the things you do and
- 1:09:38achieve all the well staying not content
- 1:09:42to keep the fuel to keep working and
- 1:09:46developing do you think there is a way
- 1:09:48for people
- 1:09:49to be content but all the well be
- 1:09:53working to something greater and if yes
- 1:09:55how do you go about that because if a
- 1:09:57lot of my goals come from some sort of
- 1:10:00not being content with where I'm at
- 1:10:02right now may it be the money I have the
- 1:10:06body I have a lot of things and if I
- 1:10:08would be content I would be like well
- 1:10:10[ __ ] it it's fine I'm good like this
- 1:10:12just like the Fisher I'm happy why
- 1:10:13should I do it contentment and
- 1:10:16satisfaction are two different things
- 1:10:18mhm you can be satisfied with your
- 1:10:21achievements
- 1:10:23but content
- 1:10:25at the same time you could be
- 1:10:27unsatisfied with your achievements still
- 1:10:30content right content is state of being
- 1:10:33or you could be unsatisfied with your
- 1:10:36achievements and look at the future what
- 1:10:38you haven't accomplished and be
- 1:10:40uncontent with your current situations
- 1:10:42or your achievements instead of looking
- 1:10:44at the
- 1:10:45future right what you haven't been able
- 1:10:48to achieve looking into a future that
- 1:10:50you haven't created look into the past
- 1:10:53and realize how much progress R you've
- 1:10:56made how much better you are today than
- 1:10:59you were before and let that progress
- 1:11:00fuel you to continue working towards
- 1:11:03becoming the next version of yourself
- 1:11:05brother it's the [ __ ] journey of life
- 1:11:08it's the it's the the journey the
- 1:11:10process is the prize the prize isn't the
- 1:11:13destination it's the process it's who
- 1:11:15you become you want to achieve that
- 1:11:17perfect you achieve it pull the sing the
- 1:11:19Silver Thread have you heard the story
- 1:11:21of the Silver
- 1:11:22Thread there's this tale about the
- 1:11:24Silver Thread this small boy he's about
- 1:11:27to go to school and he's not content he
- 1:11:29doesn't want to go to school as he goes
- 1:11:31to school he uh encounters an old lady
- 1:11:35right and the old lady says well if you
- 1:11:37pull from this ball of yarn that's
- 1:11:40silver you can pull it and time will
- 1:11:43pass so he's like well I'm going to pull
- 1:11:45it because you know I don't want to I
- 1:11:46don't want to I don't want to go to
- 1:11:47summer I just I don't want to be in
- 1:11:49school I just want to go to summer so
- 1:11:51the little boy says okay I'm going to
- 1:11:53take this and the old lady says hey but
- 1:11:55there's a catch right once you pull the
- 1:11:57thread you can never go back you can
- 1:12:00never go back you can only go forward
- 1:12:03but you can pull the thread as many
- 1:12:05times or as little times as you want so
- 1:12:08the little boy pulls the thread boom
- 1:12:12summertime he says oh well this is a
- 1:12:14great thing you know I I had I was able
- 1:12:17to skip the entire year of school he's
- 1:12:19like well what if I skip all of the
- 1:12:20years of school so he tugs again boom
- 1:12:26University oh well University is tough
- 1:12:29you know and uh maybe University isn't
- 1:12:32for me what if I can just get straight
- 1:12:33to work boom tugs the little ball of
- 1:12:37yarn slowly turning from Silver to
- 1:12:40Copper decaying in color because it
- 1:12:42represents
- 1:12:45time he says you know what I'm in the
- 1:12:47workforce but I'm unhappy because I'm
- 1:12:50alone let me pull this thread eventually
- 1:12:53to be in a relationship pulls the thread
- 1:12:54boom
- 1:12:56married oh what happened I'm married I
- 1:12:58missed my wedding day oh well it's okay
- 1:13:01it's not a big deal let me just never
- 1:13:02pull this thread again so little time
- 1:13:05goes by eventually his wife gets
- 1:13:08pregnant the wife gets pregnant has the
- 1:13:11baby but then the baby begins to yell
- 1:13:13and scream oh man it's I have to deal
- 1:13:17with this baby let me pull the thread
- 1:13:19till the baby's grown up a little bit
- 1:13:20pulls the thread the child grew
- 1:13:23up eventually
- 1:13:25he realizes at an old age that what
- 1:13:28happened that he wanted to fast forward
- 1:13:31all of his life that he wasn't able to
- 1:13:32experience it now the story continues
- 1:13:35but the premise is very simple to live
- 1:13:38in the future is your inability to live
- 1:13:42in the present and people that live in
- 1:13:44the future are often
- 1:13:46unhappy why because they want to be
- 1:13:49something that they're not look at the
- 1:13:52past look at who you've become the
- 1:13:54progress that you've made and if you
- 1:13:55haven't made a lot of progress just be
- 1:13:57happy at the fact that you're [ __ ]
- 1:13:58alive because you have the chance to
- 1:14:00make progress and live in the present
- 1:14:02moment here now and use your time energy
- 1:14:06and attention my friend to pursue your
- 1:14:10goal interesting great answer man great
- 1:14:13advice I like the story yeah I'm I'm
- 1:14:15wondering as well listening to you
- 1:14:17recite some of these stories and have
- 1:14:19some I think very great
- 1:14:21quotes how do you go about having these
- 1:14:25stories or quotes stored somewhere in
- 1:14:28your mind do you go about writing them
- 1:14:29down and and remembering them or how do
- 1:14:31you have all these this knowledge just
- 1:14:34to scoop up and tell when you're in a
- 1:14:36podcast you're I think you're a great
- 1:14:38Storyteller did you train that or have
- 1:14:41you always been a great
- 1:14:43Storyteller the more you know the more
- 1:14:45you know true so just spend time
- 1:14:47focusing on knowing more things mhm an
- 1:14:50idle mind is the devil's workshop that
- 1:14:52means that an empty mind is open for
- 1:14:55mischief and doing bad things when you
- 1:14:57occupy your time in developing your mind
- 1:14:59your spirit your soul then that is what
- 1:15:01reflects there's a verse in the Bible
- 1:15:03that says out of the abundance of the
- 1:15:06heart the mouth speaks right so when you
- 1:15:09see people talking and it's a reflection
- 1:15:12of what's inside right so the question
- 1:15:14is how do you change your heart how do
- 1:15:16you change your mind well it's the
- 1:15:19sources of information that you listen
- 1:15:20to the truth that you believe what you
- 1:15:24spend your time energy and attention
- 1:15:25focused on learning and leveling up and
- 1:15:29discovering so focus on developing self
- 1:15:33and self will develop if you want to be
- 1:15:36the best podcast host do many podcasts
- 1:15:39it's the only way if I want to be a
- 1:15:42great uh podcast guest well I have to be
- 1:15:46in many podcasts I remember doing
- 1:15:49Instagram lives you know back in the day
- 1:15:51with people that would listen to me
- 1:15:53there was 14 people right now I'll turn
- 1:15:55on my Instagram I do an Instagram live
- 1:15:57I'll have 3,000 2 500 5,000 at
- 1:16:01times but like I mentioned before the
- 1:16:06destination everybody looks at right
- 1:16:08nobody looks at the process but when you
- 1:16:11look at the process that's the prize and
- 1:16:14the truth
- 1:16:15is the price of progress is
- 1:16:19pain the price of progress is pain most
- 1:16:22people do not want to experience pain
- 1:16:24they like comfort so if you want
- 1:16:27progress you must be willing to in the
- 1:16:29process experience
- 1:16:31pain so that you may achieve your goal
- 1:16:36what is pain for you then because it is
- 1:16:38like mental pain right most of the time
- 1:16:40of course you can have like physical
- 1:16:41pain but if we talk about mental pain
- 1:16:46can you give some examples for you like
- 1:16:49what are some mental pains that you have
- 1:16:53now during the days that you are here or
- 1:16:56when you're working I mean they're human
- 1:16:58things you know you can live in the
- 1:17:00future you can compare yourself to other
- 1:17:02people you know I I was walking in Dubai
- 1:17:05and there was a a guy that was walking
- 1:17:08and he goes to a bench right and he
- 1:17:10starts doing push-ups you know arms
- 1:17:12against the the bench and he does four
- 1:17:14and he gets up and he walks past me I'm
- 1:17:16like bro you only did four you're super
- 1:17:18weak and he's like and he started giving
- 1:17:20me reason no I only did four the bench
- 1:17:22was broken I'm like and I looked at and
- 1:17:24I looked at my you see I said even
- 1:17:26people that are strangers they're always
- 1:17:28trying to justify their actions to to
- 1:17:30others MH so you always have the pain of
- 1:17:33comparison you it's easy to compare
- 1:17:35yourself in the age of the internet to
- 1:17:36other people I'm human uh the pain of
- 1:17:41living in the future right the pain of
- 1:17:43we talked about this of speaking down on
- 1:17:46your past achievements and what you
- 1:17:47could be you should be but you aren't
- 1:17:50mhm there are many pains that I
- 1:17:52experience but I think you can liberate
- 1:17:56yourself from a lot of these things by
- 1:17:58living in the Present Moment by being
- 1:18:01here right now because when you were a
- 1:18:02kid you didn't experience like yeah
- 1:18:05there's people that have bad childhoods
- 1:18:07I'm talking in
- 1:18:08general let's say you live a decent
- 1:18:11childhood most children they live in the
- 1:18:13present moment right whatever they're
- 1:18:14doing at that time that's what they're
- 1:18:16doing this idea of living in your head
- 1:18:19right doesn't exist you know I have my
- 1:18:21team sometimes they're like oh well they
- 1:18:23see me like looking at out into the into
- 1:18:25the into the sky or whatever looking
- 1:18:28like blank and they're like well you're
- 1:18:30thinking about everything aren't you
- 1:18:32like yeah bro I'm [ __ ] thinking about
- 1:18:33everything right so sometimes I have to
- 1:18:34catch myself living in a state of pain
- 1:18:38but often like the Buddha
- 1:18:40says being in a state of pain or living
- 1:18:44in a state
- 1:18:45of anxiety or in a state of suffering
- 1:18:49comes from attachment right so when
- 1:18:51you're attached to things attached to
- 1:18:53people attached to Identity attached to
- 1:18:55philosophies attached to all these
- 1:18:57things then you end up being in a
- 1:18:59situation where you experience
- 1:19:01pain but you don't have to experience
- 1:19:04suffering if you live in a state of
- 1:19:07what no expectation where you're just
- 1:19:09living life taking it day by day step by
- 1:19:13step and enjoying yourself the Buddha
- 1:19:16taught this so it's his wisdom not mine
- 1:19:18yeah it's it's quite a lot of stoic
- 1:19:21thoughts as well right a bit of
- 1:19:23the interesting so have you ever been
- 1:19:26into stuff like uh mushrooms or stuff so
- 1:19:29psychedelics cuz a lot of people that
- 1:19:31are have found themselves have done so
- 1:19:34through using some psychedelics as well
- 1:19:36as meditating whatever have you done
- 1:19:38such things many
- 1:19:41many yeah I uh if if you have a sober
- 1:19:45mind and uh you're clinically well I
- 1:19:49recommend everybody uh go through a
- 1:19:52journey of the medicine of mushrooms
- 1:19:55mushrooms it's also tried like LSD I
- 1:19:58haven't tried anything synthetic
- 1:19:59everything that I've tried comes from
- 1:20:01the earth and the reason I'll explain it
- 1:20:02why may sound a little pseudoscience or
- 1:20:04crazy but the melium network right the
- 1:20:07network of the mushrooms it carries data
- 1:20:09and information carries information and
- 1:20:12data on the earth the history of the
- 1:20:15Earth the people that have interacted
- 1:20:16and walked on the earth it carries data
- 1:20:19that's why I use the word data sets
- 1:20:21right you download data sets from the
- 1:20:22universe it comes from the mycelium
- 1:20:24Network
- 1:20:25MH because sometimes you get an idea but
- 1:20:28how do you know people are like I'm a
- 1:20:30genius well how do you know that that
- 1:20:32idea is
- 1:20:34yours maybe you're not a genius maybe
- 1:20:37you were in the right place at the right
- 1:20:38time to capture that idea and that
- 1:20:40thought so what the melium network does
- 1:20:42when you consume mushrooms is it gives
- 1:20:44you access to a different frequency to
- 1:20:46tap into what the data sets and you get
- 1:20:49downloads of information right like
- 1:20:51software into your brain that radically
- 1:20:53change your life they give you a persp
- 1:20:54perspective of reality that you have not
- 1:20:55experienced they reroute your neural
- 1:20:57networks they teach you how to think
- 1:20:59differently this has been proven in
- 1:21:01science has a lot recently right uh
- 1:21:04huberman Dr huberman he did a podcast on
- 1:21:06siloc cybin and and the issue is you
- 1:21:09know um there's a lot of religion
- 1:21:12attached to not using these things and I
- 1:21:15talk to Muslim friends or I talk to
- 1:21:17Christian friends and I'm like hey but
- 1:21:19you should try it too I'm like well I
- 1:21:21don't I can't get high I'm like okay
- 1:21:22perfect I completely understand maybe
- 1:21:23you can micro do
- 1:21:25right micro do because you don't have to
- 1:21:27be out here blasted seeing aliens and
- 1:21:30living in the metaverse to still
- 1:21:32experience the benefits of medicine
- 1:21:33right yeah because once
- 1:21:36again a this idea of abusing things can
- 1:21:39often happen right but you can't be
- 1:21:42afraid of not experiencing life right
- 1:21:46and that's what it goes back to
- 1:21:47experiencing life that doesn't mean go
- 1:21:49out here and do crack cocaine and do all
- 1:21:51this crazy [ __ ] right what it means is
- 1:21:53you still have to be intelligent and you
- 1:21:55still have to be sober minded and you
- 1:21:57can micro do why because psilocybin is
- 1:22:01known to increased
- 1:22:04neuroplasticity right which is the
- 1:22:06creation of new neurons in your brain
- 1:22:09which we we've we've heard this thing
- 1:22:11back in the day if you got hit in the
- 1:22:13head your neurons would die and they
- 1:22:15would never regrow right you would never
- 1:22:16get more neurons you would always get
- 1:22:18stupid well psilocybin has proven that
- 1:22:22you can actually create
- 1:22:25neurogenesis
- 1:22:27neuroplasticity and finally creating new
- 1:22:29neural networks in your pathway on how
- 1:22:31your brain processes
- 1:22:33information when you're on mushrooms you
- 1:22:35process information completely different
- 1:22:37than when you're in this state of mind
- 1:22:39MH so I recommend them I've done that I
- 1:22:41haven't done them in in a couple years
- 1:22:43but I've had a good time with them yeah
- 1:22:45they've been cool cool with did you had
- 1:22:47like a certain kind of Purpose with it a
- 1:22:50goal uh to when when you were like time
- 1:22:54no the first time no the first time well
- 1:22:57the first time it was my brother my
- 1:22:58brother Mr belar Nate he was like bro
- 1:23:01like you have to try this and I was like
- 1:23:03okay like sounds good and my Epiphany
- 1:23:06I'll share it this is the first time I
- 1:23:08shared my Epiphany I started
- 1:23:10crying on my first mushroom trip and I
- 1:23:14cried because I felt sorry for people I
- 1:23:17felt sorry that people were living sad
- 1:23:19lives and that was the entire mushroom
- 1:23:21trip that was eight hours but I was in
- 1:23:23that mental Loop of sorry for people I'm
- 1:23:26like dude like most people are sad most
- 1:23:29people are
- 1:23:31unhappy like this sucks and I could feel
- 1:23:34for people right because when you're on
- 1:23:36your phone you're you're so
- 1:23:37self-absorbed you're so focused on you I
- 1:23:40did this mushroom show I was like dude I
- 1:23:42feel sorry for people I feel empathetic
- 1:23:45and ever since then I I actually haveen
- 1:23:48it recorded on my phone you know I
- 1:23:50record that entire trip I record every
- 1:23:52single one of my my psychedelic trips
- 1:23:54like just audio or also audio I'm not
- 1:23:56going to record the visual I'm probably
- 1:23:58doing some crazy
- 1:24:00[ __ ] would be great yeah facts
- 1:24:05bro damn but yeah bro it's a it's it's a
- 1:24:08good time just experiencing life but uh
- 1:24:11to talk on the other side of the coin
- 1:24:13you know you spend you see a lot of
- 1:24:14mushroom heads or people that spend too
- 1:24:16much time doing these things and it's
- 1:24:19like uh Alan Watts used to say Alan
- 1:24:21Watts said to look through the
- 1:24:23microscope is important but sometimes
- 1:24:26you have to stop looking through the
- 1:24:28microscope and realize and spend time
- 1:24:32thinking about what you saw right and
- 1:24:34people live in a psychedelic State they
- 1:24:36have no time to sober up and really
- 1:24:39spend time meditating upon that which
- 1:24:41they've seen yeah that's great man
- 1:24:45interesting I've never done like
- 1:24:47mushrooms or anything well you're an
- 1:24:49Amsterdam brother so uh yeah man might
- 1:24:51be a good City for that I mean yeah
- 1:24:53there's enough opportunity
- 1:24:55I've had some bad experiences with
- 1:24:56smoking weed or actually one and after
- 1:24:58that I just quit everything but hearing
- 1:25:01these things we've got another friend as
- 1:25:02well who used to have a company in
- 1:25:04mushrooms as well so he really got into
- 1:25:06it and he had some of the same very
- 1:25:08interesting stories as well just opening
- 1:25:11up Windows or clearing out windows with
- 1:25:14visions that he had never had before so
- 1:25:16got some great insights yeah I think
- 1:25:17it's uh I think it's all about how you
- 1:25:20position yourself who you're with the
- 1:25:22environment your age knowledge you know
- 1:25:25I I I did mushrooms one time with one
- 1:25:27kid that peed his pants and uh like he
- 1:25:30was throwing [ __ ] around the house and
- 1:25:31things of this nature and I was like
- 1:25:33okay clearly this person's immature they
- 1:25:34weren't prepared for this experience
- 1:25:36right so you have to be in a state of
- 1:25:37maturity because it's medicine it's not
- 1:25:40a toy uh it's powerful and it should be
- 1:25:42treated that way yeah yeah you also
- 1:25:45talked about
- 1:25:46frequency um can you describe that for
- 1:25:50us like how can it affect your how can
- 1:25:53it affect your life when you have like a
- 1:25:56low frequency or a high
- 1:25:59frequency
- 1:26:01so everything is in motion everything
- 1:26:05vibrates MH everything is constantly
- 1:26:08moving the only reason why I can sit on
- 1:26:10this couch is because my atoms are
- 1:26:12interacting with the couch in a certain
- 1:26:14vibration whereby I'm not going to go
- 1:26:16right through it but the reason you can
- 1:26:18interact with the air and it doesn't
- 1:26:20feel dense right or you can kind of go
- 1:26:23through it my atoms are interacting with
- 1:26:25it because they're vibrating at a
- 1:26:27different frequency vibrational
- 1:26:28frequency is real and you have to start
- 1:26:32studying in my opinion without going too
- 1:26:34deep down the rabbit hole on how
- 1:26:37vibrational frequency impacts reality
- 1:26:40energy is frequency and frequency is
- 1:26:44vibration because everything vibrates so
- 1:26:47to increase your vibrational State you
- 1:26:49need to do things that increase your
- 1:26:52vibration so who you spend your time
- 1:26:54with with who you share your energy with
- 1:26:56uh you can have low vibrational
- 1:26:59frequency uh habits you look at the the
- 1:27:03yoga or the Buddhist spectrum
- 1:27:07of of vibrational frequency on on the
- 1:27:10Lower Side you have lust and you have
- 1:27:14UNG gratitude or you have
- 1:27:17self-pity or shame this is on the lower
- 1:27:20spectrum of the vibration so if you're
- 1:27:22feeling these states you are vibrating
- 1:27:24at a lower frequency on the higher
- 1:27:26frequency you have love gratitude isn't
- 1:27:29that the best time you feel yourself to
- 1:27:31be right so you're vibrating at a higher
- 1:27:33frequency so people would say oh The
- 1:27:34Vibes are right what does that mean and
- 1:27:36how can you control the Vibes how can
- 1:27:38you control the vibration in the room so
- 1:27:40without going super sciency into that uh
- 1:27:44it's important as you're telling that I
- 1:27:46just
- 1:27:47realized you're saying it and I'm just
- 1:27:49trying to like wrap my hand around it or
- 1:27:51find examples in my own life sometimes
- 1:27:54when I choose to sleep in even though I
- 1:27:57know I should get out be active have
- 1:27:59things to do you're very well rested but
- 1:28:03you feel very shitty so your frequently
- 1:28:05frequency seems to be low and sometimes
- 1:28:08I get done with like for example kickbox
- 1:28:10training and I'm completely exhausted
- 1:28:13but I feel very good so I seem to be on
- 1:28:15a high frequency
- 1:28:17so sometimes I think people think the
- 1:28:20frequency has to do with the amount of
- 1:28:21energy you have but it's not the energy
- 1:28:23as we know it right like it's not that
- 1:28:25I'm exhausted energy it's more of the
- 1:28:28how do I feel connected with everything
- 1:28:30around me is that right or am I
- 1:28:33understanding it wrong I'll answer this
- 1:28:35as the last question because we're it's
- 1:28:36already 10 o'cl that's problem
- 1:28:50yeah energy input is extremely important
- 1:28:54so what you input as the energy source
- 1:28:57or as the fuel for your body right will
- 1:29:01dictate the output of that energy so if
- 1:29:04you're feeling lethargic slow tired not
- 1:29:07after a kickboxing workout but in the
- 1:29:09morning when you should in fact be
- 1:29:11feeling rested there's something in the
- 1:29:13energy input that is causing that
- 1:29:15malfunction maybe it's the foods that
- 1:29:17you eat maybe it's what you're watching
- 1:29:20before you go to sleep maybe it's the
- 1:29:22fact that you're on your phone before
- 1:29:24before you go to sleep maybe it's the
- 1:29:25fact that you had a terrible argument
- 1:29:27before you went to bed maybe it's the
- 1:29:29fact that you went to bed out of
- 1:29:30schedule right so all these things they
- 1:29:33are bad energy inputs low vibrational
- 1:29:36energy inputs so the output will be in
- 1:29:39direct proportion what to the input
- 1:29:43Newton right Sir Isaac Newton said it
- 1:29:44best he said for every action there's an
- 1:29:48equal and opposite
- 1:29:51reaction so you get to control the input
- 1:29:55you have to pay the consequences of the
- 1:29:58output and that's the beauty of life you
- 1:30:02control what you
- 1:30:04seow but what you reap will inevitably
- 1:30:07happen so if you wake up tired well it's
- 1:30:09most likely something in your life that
- 1:30:12you can control yeah if you have a bad
- 1:30:15relationship there's most likely
- 1:30:17something there that you can control if
- 1:30:19you don't have money well my friend
- 1:30:22there's most likely something there that
- 1:30:24you can
- 1:30:25control what you sow you will reap for
- 1:30:28every action there's an equal and
- 1:30:30opposite reaction gentlemen amazing Luke
- 1:30:34let's end it on that thank you so much
- 1:30:36thank you gentl for having me yeah man
- 1:30:37I've thoroughly enjoyed uh listening to
- 1:30:39you talk and uh would love to have you
- 1:30:42back sometime uh if you've developed
- 1:30:43even further and for everybody watching
- 1:30:46uh the Capital Club just check it out uh
- 1:30:48if it's open already we'll just put a
- 1:30:49link down below and uh they can check it
- 1:30:51out themselves thank you boys thanks for
- 1:30:53having thank you thank you man ch
