Digital Social Hour - Breaking Out Of The Matrix with Multi-Millionaire Alex Morton | Digital Social Hour #25

Episode Date: June 7, 2023

Hey everyone! In our latest podcast episode, I'm thrilled to have Alex Morton join us, who recently moved to Las Vegas for the unbeatable no state income tax. You see, Alex was born in Houston and grew up in Columbus, Ohio, always fascinated by why some people are super wealthy and others struggle. At the young age of 18, he ventured into real estate and network marketing, and through his own experiences, he's on a mission to help you break free mentally and achieve the fulfilling life you deserve. We dive deep into Alex's life-changing encounter with Bob Proctor, a mentor who taught him the incredible power of mentality and mindset in determining one's success. His 13-year journey with Bob opened his eyes to the laws of the universe, the importance of network marketing, and how spirituality plays a role in our success. We also discuss the true value of relationships, intuition, and how to reverse-engineer successful habits for your own prosperity. You definitely don't want to miss our candid chat on what it takes to maintain genuine brand integrity despite setbacks, and how Alex has sustained his stellar career throughout the years. You'll be inspired by the people he admires, like Ed Mylett, Grant Cardone, and Rob Dyrdek, and discuss the importance of not just having money, but pursuing your dreams and creating an action plan to achieve them. Take away invaluable advice on financial planning, investing (yes, including those precious metals like gold, silver, and platinum), and how to protect yourself in case of sudden wealth. Trust me, this episode is jam-packed with all you need to learn from a success story like Alex's. So, what are you waiting for? Tune in NOW to get inspired and motivated to break free from the zombie mentality, develop your side hustle, and embrace success on your own terms. Remember, there's no such thing as "someday" - start taking action right away! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/digitalsocialhour/support Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to the Digital Soul Shower, guys. I'm your host, Sean Kelly, along with my co-host, Ari Gold. What's going on, everybody? And our guest today, Alex Morton. What's up, what's up? How are we doing? I'm good, man. I'm good. You're new to Vegas. Yeah. What's going on, everybody? And our guest today, Alex Morton. What's up? What's up? How are we doing? I'm good, man. I'm good. You're new to Vegas.

You're brand new, right? Eight months. Okay. We're rarely here, though. So I guess you could say brand new. All right. We're just doing tax evasion shit. No state income tax.

Gang. Didn't you have that in Miami, though? We did, but Miami got so congested. We were there when COVID first hit. Right. And it's like, you know, I'm like, damn, we're paying like 20, almost 30 grand a month at Porsche Tower. So I'm like, we can't even go outside much. So let's move.

So we went to Beverly Hills for a little bit. Wasn't much better. You know, LA is like whack now. And then I'm like, all right, mom and dad live in Vegas. No state income tax. Let's go to Vegas. LA has just become terrifying. I haven't been back in a while.

I have a place in Hollywood that I dread going to. The only time I go is if I have a meeting, then I'm just like, I'm not paying $800 for a fucking hotel. No, people there have lost their mind completely. It's not safe. Give people a summary on what you've done for those that don't know you. Oh, wow.

Well, I was born in Houston,ston texas in 1989 um middle class mom and dad growing up grew up in columbus ohio and just like a lot of young entrepreneurs or you know young people in general i just wanted i wanted to get rich you know growing up in ohio it was like rich people us and like the poor people and i always had this like fascination of you know why why does this family get to take you know 10 vacations a year and they get to drive a range rover to school right and then why does this family it's like struggle struggle struggle struggle struggle i'm like what's the difference so i've always kind of been into like why is this family rich and why is this family poor so i made a young decision at a young age. I said, man, when I grow up,

I'm going to find out how the wealthy people got wealthy and I'm going to frigging do what it is they do. So I kind of had this like crazy little desire in me at a very young age. And then, you know, at 18, I left, I left high school. I went to Arizona State University. And I remember being in high school, like, dude, these teachers are teaching me a bunch of random stuff Right algebra 3 And you know American history and world history I'm like bro no one's telling me about goals No one's talking about taxes

No one's talking about financial literacy You know thank god I had mom and dad that Did well in the insurance business So I got a little bit of that Tony Robbins here and there That Jim Rohn here and there But I said I'm going to leave this small town I I'm going to go to the West Coast. I went to Arizona State. I got started in real estate at 18. And then I fell into, you know, social network marketing at 21. And there's a lot in there we're going to get into. But, you know,

the rest is really history. I think it started with a big desire. I thought the system was completely BS. You know, I talk a lot about breaking out of the matrix now. And that's like really history i think it started with a big desire i thought the system was completely bs you know i talk a lot about breaking out of the matrix now and that's like my thing like at 33 i'm like i want to help as many people as possible like break free mentally and like learn like what's true what's false unpackage the lies so they can go out there and live a more fulfilling better better life right right so you believe we're in the matrix right now yeah to some degree i mean i don't think it's keanu reeves style like the movie but i mean you walk around vegas or la or miami all these places

that i've you know lived i've been in 76 countries around the world most people are i don't want to say sheep but they're zombies they don't know what they're doing they're going to work why are you going to work i don't know why you're going to school i don't know everyone's doing it comfortable they're setting their ways what are you gonna do when you graduate i don't know go get a job okay you know it's just it's just this pre-meditated nonsense programming and that's why at age 65 years old okay 96 of people in vegas and barcelona spain and dubai in lagos nigeria 96 of people are either dead or broke whoa four percent are financially free one percent are wealthy so let's find out what the one percent do well i gotta know where you got that that's a real number strangest secret that's insane and

now now you listen to mark cuban robert kiyosaki great you know the grant cardones of the world now it's like the middle class ain't even there anymore like they're creating this two-class system where no i see that that that that i definitely believe in i think that when you see the the price of of not just what your dollar can get you but what you're getting for the dollar and what everybody's trying to tell you with you know prices and rates and it's all bullshit i think at the end of the day when you look at the the lower in class the lower income class and you look at the upper class there's definitely been a segmented line where either houses are getting much bigger or they're

getting much more segregated and smaller and put into cookie cutter boxes and fitting as many people in there as they can right and people are either downsizing and living that life so that they can go paycheck to paycheck easier or they're stepping it up and you know making more of it and it makes me mad um it makes me mad that we're taught you know you have to come from a certain family to go out there and become successful you have to look a certain way certain skin color race religion all this stuff but when you break down success and the laws of the universe you know i was mentored by bob proctor for 13 years r.i.p big bob you know to me the best teacher ever right i just i just i just love the guy and i still feel his presence all the time and his spirit and i just through his study and him helping me unpack how i was able to you know

earn my first million at 24 and then go do that a lot more times and help a lot of people do it you get down to the point where we are spiritual beings living in a physical body right and our emotions dictate our reality and no matter what our test scores were in high school or the college we went to. Irrelevant. We can't, anybody listening to this show, can't go out there and create the life of their dreams. That's what I believe. And that's what I preach. I'm going to Europe in three weeks.

We're doing 10 events in 10 countries in 26 days. Wow. And we're helping people break free. What do you think the number one thing stopping people is other than the premeditated lies that have already been programmed in us from the start? Well, I think those lies in the program and get into this, you know, this thing called the paradigm where the paradigm is a multitude of habits that dictates, you know, what we eat, what we wear, what we listen to we listen to how we talk how we walk how we think and that's what collectively holds people back that's why they have all this this stuff in their

mind and then like you you may present them with an unbelievable you know crypto opportunity or you know this coin or this arbitrage or something and all of a sudden their their subconscious mind says can't be real get rich quick thing right you're not like those guys you can't you can't you can't have the money like ari gold you can't have a company like sean you can't do what alex has done because you're you're different than them so i believe it all comes down to our mentality and our mindset and through me studying the mark walbergs the kevin hart the the ditties I love to study people in every genre of life that have made a big splash, right? Not just me in business and network marketing entrepreneurship, but when you study successful actors, musicians, serial entrepreneurs, tech startup guys, you break it down.

It's always the same thing. It's always the same fundamentals. Talk us through that. Talk us through how you, I like the great reference you use the Mark Wahlberg because they're opening up another Wahlbergers out here. The guy has expanded a multitude of franchises. You wouldn't even know he's an investor in so many different businesses. Talk us through how you would take somebody like Mark Wahlberg and dissect them. What, what talk us through the steps of what you learned from them. Well, the first thing I do is I look at habits.

And I love to look at people that were not gifted a $5 million or a $10 million trust fund. Nothing against that. It's all good. But I like to look at people like me. You want to see the struggle. Yeah, like I came from a place my parents paid for college, but that was about it.

When I got my first company, it's called vima back in the day i took my real estate commission check vima that's what it was i kept thinking verve in my head i'm like all young people know they remember that yeah vima you know the energy drinks and the young people doing all that that's when we first i mean that was when we first ran into each other way way back in the day this is like 10 years ago maybe long time dude this is this is yeah listen in the early days of network marketing there were few and far between when it comes to guys under the age of 30 pushing quality products or at least pushing something that could change your life i'll never forget uh walked into a room somewhere in like long beach california and you were on stage talking about how you just got like a brand new bmw or a

brand new some brand new car and i'm like who the fuck is this kid who is this guy with this shiny ass smile just like glowing on stage i pulled you aside and we started having a conversation and i just remember thinking this is years ago i remember thinking i don't know what he's going to be doing with this company but i'll tell you in a couple years that kid's going to be somewhere different. I appreciate that. No, I mean, it's energy. And I 100% believe what you're saying because some people, when you come into contact with them and you make that initial eye-to-eye contact,

you make that handshake and you feel that energy, people keep thinking it's like, what are your first words, impressions? It has nothing to do with it. You connect with somebody, you look them in the eye, you get a great handshake, and it's like, fuck your first words impressions it has nothing to do with it you connect with somebody you look them in the eye you get a great handshake and it's like fuck let's go get a drink i want to get to know you i don't know what you didn't say a fucking word to me i haven't heard anything let's let's just chat and i feel like people need to start relying more on those organic feelings internally instead of thinking more about who is this person what do they do what's their net worth what can they provide for me what What can I do for them? It's too inorganic. And I don't think

that enough relationships are built off quality connections like that enough. Yeah. It's our intuition. It's one of the higher mental faculties. You know, it's like, you can feel like you said, you can meet someone and I can tell whether they're a good guy or a bad guy, or they have malice, they have evil within them or you can meet someone and be like yo they got great energy like they're what they're saying out of their mouth they believe it to be true right especially in today's world with social media and you know the youtube and instagram and the tiktok there's a lot of fake gurus yeah you know let me teach you how i made a hundred grand selling people how to make a hundred

grand all this bs right so you're right man intuition and energy is everything but you know going back to what you asked about you know wallberger kevin hart i look at their i look at their habits right i like to look at who they were before success and then you just reverse engineer yeah i remember meeting gary v for the first time my god i don't know eight ten years ago before ago before he was, he was at, we actually shared the same stage before Gary Vee became Gary Vee. It was crazy. I think our CEO paid him like close to nothing to come speak. And now I just did an event in Miami and we reached out to his people and I'm thinking 400 grand to come speak out of state, out new york that's insane we didn't do it but my point is and i remember talking to him backstage man and he always he always he told

me a lot of things but he said if you want to get wealthy go somewhere that's going to be trending and popular and and really amazing down the road get there before everybody else does and wave the flag. And I think that's something that all these listeners can do is like, you know, you're sitting there, it's 2023, you know, shit's hitting the fan to say the least and the governments and the

politicians in the world right now, you're, you're hungry. You're listening to this show. Like I want to do what these guys are doing. I want to make money. I want to travel the world. I want to do cool stuff.

Right. Think about what's going to be trending, not tomorrow. What's going to be trending. What's going to be happening in six months, 12 months, 24 months, you know, in 2016 in network marketing, I was one of the first people to kind of leave the products, the energy drinks, the supplements, the protein shakes, the, you know, the coffee and tea, and go into financial literacy. And everybody told me I was crazy, nuts, your career is going to be over. You're joining some basically startup company with some nobody from Vegas slash New York.

It's not going to work. And this has been the biggest Grand Slam home run Super Bowl of my entire career. So I think sometimes you got to not listen to everybody else's opinion. And like you said, focus internally, focus in your intuition, right? Because energy, you can feel it, man. And you can feel where the world is going,

where attention is going. And if you can get there with everybody else, you can definitely have a lot of success in whatever you want. I felt that shit to the core. You've had massive success with network marketing and. I felt that shit to the core. You've had massive success with network marketing, and you've made tens of millions off it.

Why do you think that space gets a lot of hate? It gets a lot of hate. I was, okay, a lot of reasons, to be honest. And I can laugh at this because I'm like, you know, the number one under 35, like, you know, ever, very respectfully and humbly, but it's just, it is what it is, right? People do it wrong. They go out there and they tell you hey man you're gonna you're gonna be a millionaire in 90 days and it's like no you're not you know what i mean so i think people market it wrong um false expectations and they tell people you know go just talk to two people a day

go talk to two people a day and you know to two people a day. Two turns into four. Four will turn into eight. Eight into 16. 32, 64. And it's like, dude, if I go back in 2011 when I started in network marketing, when there was no young people, it wasn't sexy, it wasn't height, it wasn't cool. I was doing four meetings a day. Every single day.

Getting told no after no after no after no after no my first presentation i'm in arizona state and i call up 50 of my friends i'm like yo seven o'clock tomorrow night be at my house we're all gonna get rich you gotta be there 25 out of 50 tell me they're gonna show up seven o'clock rolls around 10 people show up in my front door. Out of the 10 people, I'm doing my presentation. Six out of the 10 get up during my presentation and walk out the damn door. Okay. A couple said, you're going to jail.

It's a pyramid thing. You know, whatever, right? Four stay throughout the whole presentation. Out of the four, two say no, two say maybe.

One signs up. The other one does. So one person enrolled and we turn you know one guy and me basically at asu in a 96 000 people over the next um you know four and a half years so my point is like people go out there and they promote it wrong they market it wrong false expectations and there's a lot of also crap companies people want you know you can we can launch an mlm tonight in our basement right we have the ari gold coin and tell people 400 in 30 days and start a company and you know and then and then you know poop it's the fan it's just it's tough you know so and it makes people like me and people i work with it's a lot more difficult now because so many people have

been blindsided and, you know, not a good experience in network marketing. And I get it. You know, I'm not out there saying MLM's perfect. Dude, it's not perfect. Do I believe it's the best overall balance opportunity for people around the world? Sure, I believe that. Of course, I believe that. But dude, there's a lot of positives and there's a lot of negatives. I think network marketing, you get the best of people and you get the worst of people. No doubt about it. Agreed. Do you believe in fake it till you make it?

I saw you post about this. Yeah. Fake it till you make it, I kind of switch that and I go into act as if. So I think there's a difference. Because I look back when I was 21, I'm paying $5.50 a month rent at ASU and I get a hold of, you know, mentors and they're telling me fake it till you make it, you know, act as if, blah, blah, blah. When I tell people I felt like a millionaire when I was broke, I did. And I wasn't being fake, but I was living from the end in mind. Like I had the idea,

I wrote down a piece of paper at 21. I'm so happy and grateful now that I'm a millionaire before my 25th birthday. True story. Right. And I was living as that person. I would, I would walk, I would be in parties and I would enter. Someone would say, Hey, my name's Sarah. I would say, hi, my name's millionaire, you know?

And I'm telling you because I believed it to my core. And when we met, wherever we met Long Beach Long Beach dude I wasn't a millionaire in my first I made a million bucks my first company I didn't have a million dollars my first company but I felt it I breathed it I slept it I ate it like that that was it so I think there's a difference between you know faking it till you make it and acting as if you know if you go out there and you rent a Eurus and you rent this house and you're telling people you bought the car preach it till you make it and acting as if you know if you go out there and you rent a urus and you rent this house and you're telling people you bought the car and you bought the house and you rent models for a rented boat dude you're full you're full you're full of it man right but you can be you know before your jersey company at some point subconsciously you had to believe

you were going to build an empire oh yeah, yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. From day one, I knew. That's what I'm saying. It's a knowing. So when I think you meet someone that really built it with their hands and they say, I felt as if I was already there, I think there's a big difference between, you know, some punk kids out there in Miami BSing, faking it till you make it and somebody you know like you or me or whoever that's really acting as if in beginning with the end i can only laugh because out of the years that we've been around in the space there's so many different imitators and so many different people that try to cut copy paste and do that whole but again it all comes back to energy like you can do great on on the online thing you can

you can paint a great image and a great portrayal of yourself but when people meet you in person most people get a sense of i don't know about this cat like i i and every time thank god i've listened to my intuition because when i encounter people like that if i ever just get that kind of i might have indigestion right now i gotta go to the bathroom right it doesn't matter like if i'm right or wrong i just follow the feeling and it's nothing against the person it's just if you give me a weird vibe or any type of you know feeling that doesn't feel organic or like force like you're trying to achieve something yeah i wanted i wanted bro i won't uh i want to entertain it it's just not it's not worth my time and it doesn't feel like something that's valuable for me to do so nowadays it's really become a

thing of like i'm sure for you conserving your energy absolutely protecting your energy and and right now i feel like especially nowadays with all this you know fake shit going on mine for guys like you it's so important to protect that image and that brand integrity so my most important question is how have you seen the um the basically how have you protected your image in a sense where your brand integrity has never been questioned? Yeah. It's never faltered. It's never gone through that. Uh, he's questionable. Yeah. I mean, I I've, I've been the, you know, the work ethic guy, um, the positive attitude guy, you know, I went through a lot of, I went through hell. Um, when my first company shut down i left about 10 days before

it shut down and i didn't know the the old ceo bk and i joke about it now because he's like you know people really think you knew that we were going to get shut down it's like dude there's no way in hell like they're not going to tell me they want to kill me right so um when that happened man i've never felt hate in my life like i felt for that six to twelve months you know you're the reason why i shut down there's 300 000 people that don't have a quote job now because of you you know somebody tweeted at me i hope you die in a car crash with your family peace and i went through some tough times been anxiety attacks you know i don't know if i was depressed but i mean it was just it was brutal man um so for me always just, you know, keep the brand the way

it is. I just always kept it real. Um, that's why I've gotten a lot of like, like I said, I'm, I'm, I'm hated over here and I'm loved over here in my space because I, I don't know. I feel like sometimes I may, I've in my past, I've made other leaders look bad because i'm the one doing you know i was touring non-stop around the world from pushing a private propeller plane out of a barn in paraguay to doing home meetings in beverly hills like i've died lagos nigeria south africa uh ecuador peru i mean i've been all over the planet and i think a lot of people are just like oh man like screw that guy screw that kid because they're over here trying to lead a team but their people are watching my videos they're like this alex guy's nuts man he's over there just doing it over

and over and over and over and over again so for me the reason why i've had a sustained career since 2011 and i've just you know won at a high level obviously the grace of god but you know people just know with me you know what you're gonna get um i i pride myself on being the same person in front of five million people on a podcast or you know chopping it up one-on-one with my cousins you know in tulsa oklahoma hanging out playing fifa right you know and i think a lot of people i don't know i feel like people have like masks oh yeah um and i I just, I just, I just keep it real. And I think a lot of that, honestly,

because the people that I look at as mentors now, since Bob passed away, you know, Ed Milet, Grant Cardone, Rob Dyrdek, some of these people, I feel like they're who they say they are.

And I've been with, you know, these people behind closed doors, dude, they're just normal, normal guys. And I dropped a random name in there. I was not see coming rob deardick yeah go back i know he's a beast my event in miami we connected um his wife was in network marketing for a while we met at a

blackjack table 2013-14 and just kind of built you know just a relationship friendship he's a busy guy we don't talk all the time but of course you know he'll he'll text me back and he just he's just a stud and when i say stud you know now being 33 married and all that when i look at someone to model myself after they got to have everything yeah there's plenty of people out there with 100 million dollars and they're gonna take depression medication in the morning because they're unhappy and i've gone through enough you know made two million you know lost it all you did bad you lost 300 grand in this crypto deal made money i mean i i've done the whole ups and downs deal now for 13 years as an entrepreneur to where i now feel like happiness really is that that golden ticket that

golden key money is very important i talk a lot about money because you need money to be happy i believe that well money's not gonna make you happy what's like okay dude was being broken to make you happy however it's got to be health it's got to be money it's got to be the relationship husband father is a fine balance you gotta you know to me you gotta have it all man i know a lot of people you know throw shade at some of these names that i that i mentioned but to me they have it all and that's who i choose to kind of emulate after yeah man 100 one thing you're very well versed is is human psychology because you were mentored by bob proctor uh one one statement i saw you made online was you believe most humans are negative and pessimistic is that true you still believe in that? The average person walking around Las Vegas, I would say is probably negative and pessimistic. In our circles, in our rooms,

there's a lot more optimism about the future, about the present. But the average guy and girl walking around town, man, I would say they're negative because they're beat down at their job. They're beat down at home Inflation's up The kids are screaming They're fighting over the mortgage payment and the bills Life's just not a pleasure Most people are not out here winning heavy Most people are not out here getting heavy wins every day

They're going to 9-5's They're getting beat up They're going in the same fucking constant motion Repetitive after the same Bro, waking up up kids crying like you said going to work and then coming back home dealing with bullshit like there's a lot of stuff in this world that i am thankful for and one of them is is just not having to deal with a boss like for me and and and granted i don't want the statement to get blown out of proportion because

they the world needs workers like absolutely that's like people need to understand not everybody can be an entrepreneur it takes a certain amount of something and i've i haven't helped as many as you that's for damn sure but i've definitely helped my fair share of people get to that next stage and and the number one thing that i always hear back is that holy shit i didn't know it was going to be this hard i didn't know it was gonna like yeah nine to five is a safety net that's a cushion if you want to take that blue pill great you want to break free switch it up but understand that there's consequences there's no boss when shit goes wrong that you can go complain to you are the boss right you're the worker you're

the shipping guy you're hr you're fucking your maintenance you're everybody you're all in one and you're the only person dealing with it so if you can't handle that certain level of stress might not be for you but for the people that can and you think that you really believe that you deserve more and you deserve better in the world, take the shot. Yeah. Take your shot, man. And people are pessimistic because go to school, get good grades. Go to college, get good grades.

If you can't afford college, take out a student loan. Graduate. Go get a job. And you're going to work 40 hours a week for 40 years of your life, and someone else is going to tell you when to go to the bathroom when you can take your own family on vacation now i tell people you have a job in 2023 you know there's some gratitude associated with that because ai is knocking people out left and right however if you want to have freedom at some point in your life before age 72 you gotta have a

side hustle you gotta learn new skills. You got to get the mind right. You got to get off your ass and you got to get to work. I love that. How can people stop comparing themselves to others? Because I feel like that's a natural instinct. I used to struggle with this. I'm not sure if you did, but I feel like a lot of people. I still do. I still do, man. I'll come out and say that. Yeah. I mean, you know, when I got into, you know, 21 years old, getting started in, you know, sales, leadership, marketing, I'm comparing myself to people that are making 40, 80, 100 grand a month.

There was a guy in a coffee company making a million dollars a month. And I remember the moment I stopped just comparing. Because, you know, when I compare myself to somebody, I'm going to take their strengths versus my weaknesses. It's not even fair. So I remember sitting in this room. I've never shaken this man's hand, but I spoke on a panel at this event.

He got up on stage and did the big keynote, and he talked about making a million dollars a month. And everybody around me, around my same age, they're like, you know, he's special. He's the only one doing it it ain't gonna happen for me or you and i'm sitting there for the first time instead of just comparing my weaknesses to his strengths i said you know what if he can do it i can do it too so in that moment i stopped comparing and i started to learn i wrote down every word this guy said and i said you know what million dollars a month is the target million a month million a month million a month million a And I started to learn. I wrote down every word this guy said. And I said, you know what?

A million dollars a month is the target. A million a month, a million a month, a million a month, a million a month, a million a month. And the company I was in at the time, a million a month didn't even exist in the compensation plan. But again, when you set out to go do something, you don't have to know how it's going to happen. You just have to know what's going to happen. So I watched this guy talk in 2014 2014 and I hit a million a month. I don't know. I think it might've been 2020. Wow. So I wrote it down and I saw it. And at that moment I said, I, me and him, we are the same, right? We, we, cause we all are the same. We're again, spiritual beings living in a physical body. And at the end of the day, we're all made in the,

in the image of God. You know, someone may call God a different name, but at the end of the day, we're all made in the image of God. Someone may call God a different name, but at the end of the day, man, we're all coming from the same source. I think that doesn't mean it's true, but my perspective is we're all coming from the same creator at the end of the day. And if you can do it, I can do it. Anybody watching this show, you see someone go do something, you can do the exact same thing. That's awesome. Did your life change when you became a millionaire i mean shit yeah i think so um last time i checked the uh the car got a little

comfier yeah i mean i went i had a three series bmw and then it was a six series bmw so it was a bmw all right it was all right i didn't remember we had a car program no i just yeah bro this is how long i've been i know you almost a decade no it's not rope it's the circle of life my friend it's universe and energy and i always believe that good people always find their way back to each other i agree but keep going about the cars yeah and then it was uh it was uh a wraith so my buddy roman out in san diego he's um he's floyd's car guy and he's like hey i know you were talking about a rolls royce you know mayweather's got like you know 17 of them or whatever he hasn't even he's driven this one like twice he wants to get rid of it at a discounted thing if you can send me the wire by like monday

i think i was leaving nobu in miami i remember texting my money guy and i i sent the wire and we we picked up a wraith and that was cool and now i have a truck because the rolls royce truck because you know a kid's gonna be on the way probably next two three years two three years or so no not this but it's in the planning it's it's processing right we're child proving the house just in case yeah so um my life definitely changed man i was able to do nice things for my family you know i i owe a lot of my success to my mom and dad and i believe like every next generation should push the family forward so my parents did exceptionally well for who they were. You know, my mom's parents came from Armenia, the genocide. My grandparents come here with, you know, $2 and they're sewing

buttons for a dollar a button in New York City. They put five kids through college. My dad's side, my dad's parents' parents were Holocaust survivors. So I come from like, and I tap into this sometimes when people say, Alex, how do you still stay motivated and inspired? And, you know, going on a 10 country tour all through Europe and busted your ass till two in the morning. Like, you're good. You don't have to work anymore. I tap into how I'm even here today. And this is a little bit deeper, but I feel like in today's world, it's so surface.

People should get deep. And I tap into like my great, great grandparents or, you know, almost got murdered in Europe, you know, from, you know, Hitler and the Nazis. And my other side, they were watching some of their kids get, you know, bayoneted, watching babies get bayoneted, you know, through their brains.

Wow. And escaping murder and all that. And then two generations later, I'm sitting here. It's like, dude, I owe it to the past to make something of myself. Wow. And to take care of family, right? So I held that. I still hold on to that today.

But, you know, becoming a millionaire, yeah, man, life definitely got better. But when you make a million, you quickly realize it's not as much money as you want with taxes damn sure with mom and dad with different things with car it's like traveling you know it's like once you take care of the shit that you always wanted to take care of you look down you're like oh 20 grand how did i how did i what what happened right that's my first million went like this yep like a fuck me man i didn't even i could i didn't know it was it was a it was a 1.4 million dollar bonus check wow and i i looked at it and i was like this isn't real life the first thing i did i called my jeweler i said i want to buy this watch that i never thought i could obtain and uh it was a fucking paul newman

daytona and he didn't have it he sold it to some super super much richer guy than me and much more than i was gonna pay for it uh but he gave me my my day just uh and wisely was like hey you have all this cash here you should give me some of it and i'll give you gold okay and this was two years ago maybe like gold was like maybe 1200 something like that i was like i mean i don't own any gold but all right cool i'm like walking out of his office like a fucking kilo bar like what do i do with this now it's like go put it in a bank like go stash that shit and luckily that was that was the only way that out of all the money that i spent on you know i helped my parents build a house and do all this other shit the only money that's left is that watch in that bar wow that's it gold's a big thing we some gold, too. I'm hoarding gold, silver.

If you guys are really smart, start buying up platinum. Why? Platinum is so over—it's an oversight. Nobody really looks at platinum, even though it's much more valuable than gold, and it's also used for great semiconductors. But platinum bars are the best way to retain value in a small compact like a bar of gold a kilo of gold i think is 65 000 a kilo of platinum is like 200k wow something like that i'm could be wrong on those stats but around that kind of jump it's a lot so when i look at platinum swiss bars anything like that or even if you're smart you start hitting up do the

garyvee methods start hitting up um like auctions where people for closing on their homes some people just have collector coins some of these collector coins like graded can go upwards of 50 60 70 80 100 000. wow yeah i've been getting into weird nerdy lately yeah but precious metals is big that's it kiyosaki talks a lot about precious metals mixed with nostalgia like american nostalgia that is especially with the dollar crushing now it's it's getting a little nerve-wracking well a lot of people are going back into collecting old american coins like old pennies made of copper yeah old you know dimes made of real silver silver quarters half dollars shit like that bro that i think once and and listen all speculation don't listen to the jew i don't know anything uh i think eventually we will just hyper

inflate the dollar to the point where it becomes nothing um i think that we'll have a whole rebirth of a wealth class and the people that are stashing up um precious metals the big one i think is really going to be farmland i think it's going to be livestock i think there's going to be a whole commodity shift to where oh you got chickens bet son trade me some eggs for some meat and i'll give you some gold man if we get to that point it's going to be scary yeah i don't know but i just think either that or digitize it's one one of two ways but you'll you'll you even see that happening now in the south like where my parents live there are a lot of people that are already bartering and doing trade for services for product and goods like one of our handyman comes over does the does the lawn uh takes care of a bunch

of the chicken feed and like stuff with the goats a bunch of shit and in exchange like my dad will work on his truck for him because we have a car lot we have a mechanic and everything so instead of him paying fucking thirteen hundred dollars to get it's like i'll just do this shit for a couple months yeah alex it's been a pleasure man any closing comments and where people can find out more about you? Yeah, I guess, you know, only thing in closing, I would tell people if they're watching this, you know, whatever your dreams are, whatever your goals are, just know that you really can obtain them. And a lot of times on your road to success, on your journey, on your process, you know, you're going to encounter a lot of naysayers,

a lot of haters, a lot of people that try to knock you off course. And I think in 2023, it's super important to be focused, do personal development. You know, I think this gets overlooked a lot. People think, oh, I'm just going to scroll on Instagram all day and I'm going to grow myself. But the truth is, if I didn't read Think and Grow Rich, if I didn't read U Squared, if I didn't spend the money to go to Tony Robbins events and walk on fire, if I didn't spend the money to build relationships with people like Grant and the late and great Bob Proctor, you know, that's where you really gain the strategy and the blueprint to go out there and win. So I think after watching this show, man, make an action plan. You know, write down, get clear on, hey, what do I really, really

want? Not what Ari wants, not what Sean wants, not what Alex drives today. What do I really, really want? Not what Ari wants, not what Sean wants, not what Alex drives today. What do I really want? Know what you want. Get clear on it. Figure out, hey, who am I going to listen to? Who am I going to really tap into? Because right now, man, there's a lot of these gurus, fake gurus, good gurus, all these different people saying they're all multi, multi, like a jillionaires, right? Look at people with real, tangible tangible results make that plan and then

and then get busy and do not underestimate what you can accomplish between now and the end of the year and people got to stop waiting people say someday i'm going to start that business someday i'm going to go out there retire my mom someday i'm going to get in better shape and better health make today that day someday it's not a day in the week. Take action now and go out there and make it happen. Alex, we can't thank you enough, brother. Always a pleasure. Sean, tell them where to find you. Oh, I'll go.

Ari Gold, ETH, Sean. Sean Mike Kelly, Digital Social Hour. I'll see you guys next week. Peace.
