It's only what the general population agrees to be true. I've got amazing friends and family that I go golfing with and play poker, but I don't share my goals and dreams with them. Because it's unfair to them. When he was like seven years old, he got a bunch of money from his grandparents.
Starting point is 00:00:53 I said, what do you want to do with this? He goes, buy me a Bitcoin thing. I go, what's that? So I signed up, sure enough, and now he's going to be rich by the time he's 18. Go figure. Wow. 18 go figure wow welcome back to the digital social hour i'm your host sean kelly here with my co-host wayne lewis what up what up and our guest today, Greg Reed. Here we go up in the house.
Starting point is 00:01:25 Mr. Reed in the building, man. 27 years old and getting younger. Yeah, I like that. He's looking good. Thank you very much. Yeah, I'm coming up on 60 years old. I got an 11 year old kid and he keeps me active. I got to tell you.
Starting point is 00:01:38 Wow. So you waited to have kids? Yeah, I did. And he introduced me to the coolest things like Bitcoin. When he was like seven years old, he got a bunch of money from his grandparents. So I said, what do you want to do with this? He goes, buy me a Bitcoin thing. What's that?
Starting point is 00:01:50 So I signed up, sure enough. And now he's going to be rich by the time he's 18. Go figure. Wow. So what made you wait to have kids? I just wanted those things late in life, dad. And I got to tell you, it's one of the greatest opportunities because I get-
Starting point is 00:02:01 Late in life dad. Yeah. I like that. And I get to enjoy it because I'm a little bit more at peace financially I can give him the life that most could only dream yeah I got that late and like that I saw you had a whole section on your Instagram dedicated to your son I thought he's the coolest kid in fact when he was eight he had the number one spoken album on Amazon well yeah and you helped him do it well it was him at night before he
Starting point is 00:02:24 goes to bed he does these mantras. He says, my name's Colt. I'm happy. I'm powerful. I'm brave. I'm wise. I'm worthy. I'm successful.
Starting point is 00:02:33 I help people. My name's Colt. And then a buddy of mine put hip hop music to it. And then we put it out on Amazon. It took off. Now he's got his own Spotify channel. Wow. Isn't that wild?
Starting point is 00:02:41 At 11. Yeah. Now he's 11 years old. He's a baller. He's going to be a beast at our age it's pretty cool i want to dive into your journey before you had a kid i know you you've done a lot of cool stuff i'd love to hear from you your journey yeah i'm just a regular guy i'm probably the most are you least qualified guy to do what i do i would be very upfront uh you know i'm dyslexic i can't spell i can't read i can't write very well if you pay me play me words with friends you'll win every time but i learned the power of you work your strengths and you hire your weaknesses.
Starting point is 00:03:08 So, for example, when I write books, I sit down with amazing ghostwriters and editors who take my words and then craft them in a way people would want to read them. Wow. So you can't spell. You can read, right? I can get by. I mean, it's like one of those type of things. I can read and write, but I'm not prolific by any means. Especially being dyslexic. It's hard to see yes the huge obstacle to
Starting point is 00:03:28 overcome that's right you know being who you are so how did you manage to like overcome that and continue to excel and the things that you do well I see counsel not opinion the difference is counsels based on wisdom knowledge mentorship right we've already done it opinions based on ignorance lack knowledge or inexperience if i went to family friends say i'm going to write a best-selling book they'll try to talk me out of it to protect me to keep me safe because i'm dyslexic and they've never written a best-selling book so i went to barnes and noble i bought every best-selling title and i asked them said hey what's
Starting point is 00:03:58 the system how does this work they taught me i duplicated it and now i've been published in 150 books 45 languages two honorary degrees and a star on the Walk of Fame Wow say to honorary degrees from where I all over the place one from India where Tonino Lamborghini and I went and did commencement speeches at the country and they gifted us all was amazing I gave you my Tonino Lamborghini story I said how is it that you and your dad had so much success in your life yeah and he says all you got to do is create a product good service or experience that people save their money to hand it to you I said what do you mean he says look no one's gonna save their money to buy your book but they're gonna cash in
Starting point is 00:04:36 their 401k to drive my car he says you're not gonna spend $3,000 a night to live in your own apartment but you'll go to Anaheim and give it to a mouse with big ears he goes if you can create a product good service or experience that people save their money to give to you you'll never run out of cash Wow so just create an amazing product basically that's it or an experience that's right that's why we started secret knock that was the whole concept as we said instead of these coaches and teachers and mentors we said what if we created an environment where you have direct access to the person who did what everyone else is talking about where everyone
Starting point is 00:05:09 else is leaning against a lamborghini taking a picture on instagram here's mr lamborghini if you want to start a clothing brand we'll go have tacos with the guy who started ugly boots you got an idea for a board game here's the guy who did pictionary where could you be by jumping to the front line and that's what we're about wow yeah I've heard a secret not great things about it so what's like it's invite only right yeah it's really unique it's known as the greatest event you cannot attend yeah no someone are invited yeah it sells out six months early every time it costs five grand to go and we will not tell anyone where it is or who will be there nothing we just tell you the city state and date and that's all nothing until you show up and then what we do is we deliver so we have private skype with edward snowden who's hiding in russia carol baskin came in last time they tell us her side of
Starting point is 00:05:56 the story she never even met so exotic right president vicente fox comes in and says here's how george bush tried to trick me to go to war in Iraq. And when you have direct access to these amazing people, again, you get it from the source. And I believe that's where you get counsel and not opinion. So are they speaking live there? Yeah, they're hanging out with us. Not only live, just like this, we're hanging out. There's no name tags. Everyone's treated the same.
Starting point is 00:06:21 And so you're sitting at a table and you don't know who they are done until I sit there and say coming to the stage is the guy who invented the credit card magnetic strip and change banking Ron Klein Wow and he gets royalties on that right all these super-successful people like what's that like and what have you learned from just hanging around all these guys well we have a rule is just just just two words be cool i mean if you have an ego type of a thing you're probably not going to fit into our community we surround ourselves with positive like-minded people who are doing and not just talking right and by doing that again you seek that counsel and it's so important to understand that i started a website called
Starting point is 00:07:03 credible source dot com and the whole idea is where could you be literally by getting information It's so important to understand that. I started a website called CredibleSource.com. And the whole idea is where could you be literally by getting information from people that are excelling what everyone else is just dreaming about. And that's what I like to surround ourselves with and also give access to other people as well. Pretty simple stuff. We've got to find out how to get invited, Wayne. We've got to find out how not to get invited, but to be there so we can be invited it's it's pretty great that person who's coming this next time is unbelievable but you the people that can't tell us i won't tell you anything we're not invited even when you're there and you are
Starting point is 00:07:35 invited i can't tell you until you're sitting in the chair and that's a dope concept yeah and by so this last time we flew in the guy, there's a TV show that's out on Netflix right now. It's called Wednesday. It's the show. So I flew in the guy who plays thing, the hand for his first ever interview in America where he got to tell his story of how he became a famous actor by just using his hand. Right. We've had, you know, Oscar winners to just amazing human beings, but again, they're all cool. That's the best part. So when you're over there again, having lunch in the line, you're hanging out with these people you're not just watching them on stage and having vip access and all that garbage right everyone's treated the same how long did you have to work to become you know who you are in a sense of like you know being
Starting point is 00:08:20 comfortable with talking to people being a good networker what great net networker and connecting with people like how did you did you develop that has always been a gift like we're just a guy at school or you just like what were you like coming up yeah as a kid I got in trouble for it yeah it's so funny I always tell people as a kid I couldn't make money when I was 14 years old right but so I what I would do is I go get the neighbors to pay me ten bucks and mow their lawn and then I hire the other kids for five bucks and mow the lawn for me and I was taking advantage of the kids but I was just being an entrepreneur so now are they give me trophies and awards for doing this stuff that I got yelled at as a kid but that's
Starting point is 00:08:57 why I live my life today yeah it wasn't cool back then I think an entrepreneur correct and knowing that but people didn't see the power of leverage and that's what i believe it's all about and again yeah if i've got a connection that you have and it doesn't cost me anything to give you that to cut your learning curve 10 years i'm gonna do it all day long because that's how you build real social capital you know relationship capital absolutely and that's what it's all about yeah because so many people nowadays brag about how i'm self-made i'm doing it on my own and they want that it's like they want to brag about that but that's not the way yeah that's why you never heard of me before most unfamous guy in my industry you could be and the
Starting point is 00:09:35 whole idea is that I'm so busy doing these things where everyone else is just talking about it and to me I'd like to literally separate them for the 95 percent who dream success to the top five percent who do it by just giving him and them that access right so when did you come become familiar with like instagram and like when did you start pushing it because you have three million followers on there yeah i get back to my kid and he goes hey check out this tiktok thing hey check out this stuff so i just started following it i believe there's old songs you know the children are the future no one listens to them and yeah you guys are the cutting edge and know what's coming next right so i'm the different guy where i listen and say hey what do you see coming down the road
Starting point is 00:10:15 yeah a good quarterback never throws the football where a wide receiver standing they throw it down field and let him run to it so they can catch up so i'm always looking for what's coming next right because i feel like a lot of people your age aren't on social media at all took the opposite approach yeah yeah the opposite approach yeah so and that's it plus i'm kind of an older guy but i'm a hip guy i really like to stay current and things of this nature uh and you get to stay connected with people people understand this i do more connection on instagram than i do on emails yeah that's how we connected that's how it works 100 at the time yeah you have great energy you
Starting point is 00:10:50 seem like you're a very happy guy have you been happy your whole life or did that come when you became successful it's interesting you say that i don't know if you led me into this or you did some research but i i'm doing a book right now in a movie called the secret of happiness and so for the last few years i've been on this journey with a mastermind group where we've interviewed monks to millionaires from celebrities, whatever, to find out what is the secret of happiness. And for myself, I live a very clean life. So I don't drink, smoke, use drugs. I'm just a clean guy. That's just the lifestyle that I choose to live.
Starting point is 00:11:22 But more importantly, I started realizing that my happiness comes by surrounding myself with other people that are happy. I do not allow **** heads in my life. And I look at this **** heads. Not **** heads, **** heads. Let me explain. If I come to your house and I've got a trash bag and it's full of
Starting point is 00:11:40 dirty diapers and rotten cheese, and I start opening it into your living room floor, you're going to go, stop! Get out of here! of here what are you doing yeah yet for some reason we'll let people open our brain dump all their garbage and we sit there and take it not me as soon as you start doing that I go I gotta pause you right there I'm sure you're going through some situations I hope you find someone who can deal with that but I gotta go deal with this over here I will not allow that to go into my brain so how do you think people perceive that do they think oh he's emotionally unavailable he's me sure he only cares about himself yes and how do you how do you feel when they think of that that's their gotcha their viewpoint and
Starting point is 00:12:16 the main thing though but the majority of people come and say how do you stay positive and i'm given the answer and you know look i've got amazing friends and family that I go golfing with and play poker but I don't share my goals and dreams with them because it's unfair to them because they don't have the same mindset and so many people come up to me and they say I'm so disappointed or I feel like I'm behind because my family friends don't believe in me well you're sharing your goals and dreams and aspirations with someone who cannot comprehend where you're going mmm so what I do is I enjoy my poker time and my golf time with those people but I think I shoot do you not I said that's
Starting point is 00:12:53 I'm working on something special as soon as it comes yeah as soon as it comes to fruition you're gonna be and then what I do is I seek counsel so someone's already doing what I want to do back to Barnes & Noble when I went to the store I went to the best-selling book section I didn't go to the best written books I'm dyslexic I can't write so I went to the best-selling section said how does this system work and I asked them and I started duplicating it so that is the secret surround yourself with people getting the results you want for example I've never sold a car in my life but if
Starting point is 00:13:23 I was going to I'd probably sell a lamborghini because it's the highest potential for commission and then when i started i'd say who's ringing the bell every day i go that's the person sitting next to their desk i want to learn from someone who's doing what i'd like to do myself but how can people watch and get access to those people you're able to do it with your network but an ordinary guy again i got it because they bs to this you've never heard of me before everyone watching this hasn't heard of me before so it doesn't make a difference so when i reach out to people they've never heard of me either and the answer is specificity and i don't know if i say it right because i'm dyslexic but be specific here's the way it works if i want to get to the founder of remax real estate i say
Starting point is 00:14:02 listen i'm asking for 12.5 minutes of your time. I'll cover all my own costs and expense to come see you. From the moment I open the door until the time I leave will be 12 and a half minutes. I'm going to ask you one simple question, blah, blah, blah. The chance of them coming from their office to the break room to do that is so high. Other people say, I want to pick your brain, buy you lunch, take you out to dinner. They don't have time for that. But that specificity opens the doors when i get off stage and there's a long line of people
Starting point is 00:14:29 that want autographs and photographs it's wonderful and they say the nicest thing how can i work with you how can it be of contribution how can be a service i don't have 30 minutes for a resume check compared to that someone comes up and says dude check out your instagram you got millions of followers i like your memes i make them as well let me send you one if you like it you'll use me eight seconds i know who you are what you do you got my phone number we're in contact specificity is the key wow i love that yeah most people are just like let me take you out to lunch or the pick and how many times yeah pick your brain you never say that and it sounds painful right it's so painful brain is like bro my brain i don't even i don't even pick it so it's like it's a lot so like in dealing with
Starting point is 00:15:15 all that how do you find time to have like a family balance like how do you how is the family like just the organization of it or do you have a balance i have an extreme balance are you kidding me majority of it is spending time with my kid i'm one of those disneyland dads so yeah my former wife alan i got the greatest ex-wife in the world i know it sounds weird but she runs my ex-wife in the world she runs my she runs my other side of my business is secret knock women okay and her boyfriend and our family all get along great on the holidays and things of this nature and my son i get him on the weekends and we have the greatest times because we're always learning and doing
Starting point is 00:15:54 something new we're always expanding horizons and that's what's really uh you know fun for me yeah interesting it's so unique because he has so much energy. Yeah, he just dragged me to sneaker con I had no idea a buddy of mine started sneaker con. So he got me VIP passes Yeah, no, I did Travis Scott shoes cost $1,400 Then you're all but that's why I gotta wear these Yeah, those can cost It's crazy. Yeah, you had to step it up. That's here on the stars What is it called?
Starting point is 00:16:26 The Walk of Fame? Yeah, right here in Las Vegas, right in front of the Paris Hotel. It's really neat. So years ago, I made a major motion picture. I was at Secret Knock, and there was a gentleman named Frank Shankwitz. And he started a nonprofit called Make-A-Wish Foundation. It grants wishes to terminally ill kids. And I asked him a question. I said, Frank, what was your wish?
Starting point is 00:16:47 And he goes, what? He looked at me like I had two heads. And I go, well, you're the founder of Make-A-Wish. What did you wish for? He said, no one asked me. I said, what? I go, I want to be the guy that grants the wishes, founder of Make-A-Wish. I go, do you want a house?
Starting point is 00:16:59 Do you want a car? I know a guy. And he says, no, I just want my story to be told so my grandkids will know i did something so he signed over his life rights and i said i'm gonna make this into a major feature film just know i've never made a feature film he trusted me it took six years but when it came out we made the ballot for the oscars we're still trending worldwide called wish man and the moral is that everyone can be a hero you do not need to be a billionaire to give a pair of socks to a homeless person or stop bully from fighting and so what happened is i nominated
Starting point is 00:17:32 him for the star and when i did so they decided to grant me one next wow and this is in las vegas yes right down the street here that's insane yeah isn't that neat that's dope that's because you because usually you know you got you know you usually see rappers entertainers and actors with stars but the fact that you are actually making an impact gives you a star so you don't have to be a rapper entertainer either to make an impact first of all i'm offended that you don't think i rap because i was trying to think i was i wasn't sure yeah exactly that's funny one of your quotes on your youtube that caught my attention you said history is fake what did you mean by that well basically with enough examination all truths become false and
Starting point is 00:18:17 i learned that from the founder of chucky cheese and it was really interesting because there is no such thing as truth it's only what the general population agrees to be true. At one time, the world was flat. At one time, Pluto was a planet. At one time, you could catch COVID from a male coming in from your UPS guy. So all truths with enough examination become false. And when you have that open mind and start looking at things, you realize that it's from your point of view at that chosen time is how
Starting point is 00:18:49 you see things so it helps you judge people less and look things from a different perspective Wow I never thought of it that way but some people would argue that fact some people who was history it happened well I mean do you think it happened well okay history is only written by the winners that is so untrue right so that's the most that's the greatest example of that not being true because the losers didn't write the history books only the winners wrote the history books so you're only seeing it one side one from one side if you look at world war ii and we dropped bombs on hiroshima and you hear that we won this war and a great thing you don't see the atrocities that the United States and other countries went through
Starting point is 00:19:28 I mean it's it's amazing and horrific at the same time so do you know the real story behind exactly so this you it's only the story that's written by the winners and you know it's interesting I have the opportunity to meet amazing people and get great interviews and whatnot but one of my favorite ones is a guy named steve wozniak he started apple computers with jobs and i said how is it that you guys had so much success in your life and he said we embraced our lack so what do you mean goes most people run from what they don't have he goes we ran towards it so what do you mean so when these little microchip processors came out they were very expensive we could only afford one chip. Job sold his car I had sold my calculator we pooled their money to buy one. He goes but Hewlett Packard would make
Starting point is 00:20:14 machines like IBM and go from point A to B with 20 chips because they had all the money of God. He said I'd pull away five and I go from a to B with 15 I'd pull away five get to work with ten eventually I found a way to go from a to B using more one chip he goes we were not trying to be innovative or cool or aerodynamic we could afford one chair exactly he goes but by doing so we found the shortest cleanest path and change the way people do personal computing for the rest of the world for the rest of their life he said where could you be right now at this moment in your own business if you stop looking at
Starting point is 00:20:52 something as your greatest challenge an obstacle but it could just be your greatest blessing and opportunity in disguise Wow that's crazy why's the act was yeah you also said on your YouTube that you think building legacy is overrated. Why do you feel that way? Well, again, because there's no such thing as legacy. Look at the pyramids. I'm just taking a cut through the chase, right? All the people that built the pyramids, their great, great, great grandkids are still living around that area.
Starting point is 00:21:21 Don't even know they did it. And don't even know how they did it. So if you can do that, what it so what about michael jordan well again only because it's a living legacy today but if i sat there and asked you a question you know again such as uh who's stevie raymond or who is some of these greatest musicians from just you know 50 years ago majority of people wouldn't know who they are even though they wrote some of the greatest songs in history right and vice out there and ask you who the 13th president of the United States is you're not gonna tell me yet. He was the president states. That's your legacy
Starting point is 00:21:59 So the realities are I realized for my kid, especially being 50 years older chances are of him going to my grave Is slim to none and little or my grandkids and that's why I was so excited when I got the star because I figured Every time they come out they're gonna go. Hey, there's my grandpa poor went out for the homie We're not for the home so your son What is he into? What's his what's his thing? Because I you were saying he has a one of the best sellers on Amazon Yeah, well right now he's an actor he got his first acting gig he made like 980 bucks I know this is all he knows yeah that is a lot of dough and it's so interesting but that's all he knows so we've fed him the idea of prosperity and work so he doesn't know anything else all he knows is success yeah and it's very interesting I'll tell you a paradigm shift that we had with him that will blow your mind you guys ready for this one yeah I was doing a podcast like this and the woman asked me
Starting point is 00:22:55 says do you give your kid money to do allowance for things he doesn't like to do around the house like mow the lawn you know take out the trash make his bed ago absolutely I go I want to teach my kid the power and respect of mine she goes stop i expected more from you it's a shame you're ruining your child forever a student's mindset i said teach me she goes think about you're training your kid from the earliest of memory the earliest of thought the only way to make money is to do something they hate. Paradigm shift.
Starting point is 00:23:29 So I sat him down and said, listen, I go, I've got a lot of followers and stuff. You make these cool videos and stuff. I go, how about you make your allowance for doing something you excel at? And I'll pay you all your money you want for doing these things to make me look good. And more importantly, how about you just make your bed and we'll call it contribution for living in the lifestyle you do. And it changed our conversation so now when he comes up to me and says i need some new jordans how many tiktoks can i make for you and now all of a sudden he's teaching other kids within his school to do the same work your strengths and hire your weaknesses i love that then he views his responsibilities different as contributions versus something that he hates doing correct
Starting point is 00:24:03 and he's still good you got to be careful what you say too because i have this whole power of work your strengths and hire your weaknesses so for example i'm a good orator but i can't write so i sit down with ghost writers and i say all these amazing things i think in my head and then they recraft them in a way people would want to read them in book form and sure enough it goes on to inspire millions of people well one time we were doing a party and i was right after covet and said hey go upstairs and do me a favor make your bed clean up your room and stuff like that we got people coming over he goes no problem dad about 15 minutes later his best friend comes down he's got a handful of money he goes hey dad can you put this in my bank for me i go where'd you get that cash he goes from your son i call him down says call comes down
Starting point is 00:24:42 i said son i go why did you give him money and his friend says that's easy he paid me money to make his bed to clean his room take out the trash i said but why'd you do that and he says well you said to work your strengths and higher weaknesses i had other stuff to do wow at 11. wow yo he's gonna be crazy he might get to the point where he gonna hire he's gonna hire people people that's actually his strengths too yo he's gonna be crazy he might get to the point where he gonna hire he's gonna hire people people that's actually his strengths too because he's smarter than everybody at this moment like he's it's interesting what you teach these kids that's the whole thing that's why being a late in life dad so cool a younger dad he's still going to work and he's still figuring out yeah
Starting point is 00:25:20 and here i get to sit down and go listen this is what I've learned along the way and things that work for him. He holds on to like I happen to be a sober guy. Right. No big deal. You live your own life. But I learned a valuable lesson from this when I was in rehab and I was a kid, I was 24 years old. They kept telling me what to do. Put a bumper sticker on my car, do a chant, get a sponsor, do all this different stuff. I just didn't want to drink. And so one guy was going to leave and he said, here, grab a handful of sand and there's sand outside. And I did. And he says, when people try to give you their input, it's not to hurt you. They're just giving you their input from their point of view. So he says, when someone says something, say, thank you very much. Honor them. Don't say, yeah, but say, thank you very much. Now, if it works for you, keep it in your
Starting point is 00:26:01 palm. If not, you let it slip through your fingers. So someone says, Hey, put a bumper sticker in your car and say well i drive a ferrari thank you very much but someone says you get a men's group that makes sense and as you close your hand that becomes a system that works for you right that's how i've raised my kid that's how i start my businesses that's how i make movies that's how i do everything i do today as i take the best of of all the counsel that comes to me and i apply it so how did you start the uh secret knot uh would you even how did that come to fruition like what was your mindset behind that well i wrote this why yeah i wrote a book called think and grow rich three feet from gold it's a story about a gold miner who gave up three feet away from the largest strike in history
