Once I learned that everything had a frequency
Starting point is 00:01:37 and I can control my own frequency, I started to eliminate negative thoughts from my mind and change the way I thought. Get anything I ever wanted, I have to eliminate negative thoughts from my mind and change the way I thought. Get anything I ever wanted, I have to put the action. And by reading another book by Brian Tracy called No Excuses taught me that if it's meant to be, it is up to me. All right guys, got someone I've known for a long time here, Mark Lee from Pull Up VIP.

Starting point is 00:02:54 Do you remember back in a day that Nelk boys used to live at that house? Which one? The one on the Harbor Islands over here where you think you were there with me. Was I? Yeah. It was probably a while ago. I don you were there with me. Was I? Yeah. It was probably a while ago.
Starting point is 00:03:06 I don't even remember. Yeah. That's when they were first starting off. Damn. Yeah. They've come around in that circle. Yeah. No, all those kids. It's cool to see where everyone's ended up now. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:15 You know, well, a lot of them fell off and then there's some that are still around now, but it's cool to see the trajectories everyone went. Yeah, absolutely. And I think when I went in your car, I was with Jet Set Fly. Who's that? Exactly my point. Just fly. Jet Set Fly. Oh, I don't even know. That's funny. Is he Vigno? No, that's what I'm saying. There's two different trajectories. Yeah. Some people take off and then some people kind of
Starting point is 00:03:40 fall off. Yeah. But I love to learn how you got started with the ride service industry. Uber. You started off as a regular Uber driver? I just, I was starting off with an electric skateboard company back in the day and I was already connected with a lot of people because I started off back in a day learning about social media and I started to work a few big people and along
Starting point is 00:04:06 the way I ended up meeting this electric skateboard company. They were just starting off and I want to help them out their social media and I was connected to a few big people so I was like, all right, I'll fly with you to LA. We went to a flow rider party. At this flow rider party, I flow rider party. I ended up meeting Jake Paul there and he fell in love with the skateboards at the time. I didn't even know who Jake Paul was, you know, and I'm at this crazy NASCAR party full of celebrities. Um, and I was like, Hey, if you guys know any celebrities in town, I would love to come
Starting point is 00:04:44 bring him a skateboard and let him try it out. And I was there and he's like, I'm a celebrity. And then Jake Paul, he at the time he had like a million followers on Vine at the time. And I went and met up with them. We started riding skateboards around. He fell in love with the product and we became best friends. Wow. And it's great to see all these people that you meet at an early age, just become superstars.

Starting point is 00:09:07 somebody says that Why are you stuck here? I'm like, oh, I'm waiting for a cab and they're like tab take an uber and I'm like, what's an uber and they're like Here, here's my code put this code and you'll get a free ride. So I put my credit card information a book the ride It was free. I fell in love with it. I got back home. I downloaded the app. I put my mom's car on there and I started driving Uber and my first week I made 500 bucks. Wow. And to me that was like, Whoa, because I had a salary with electric skateboard company and that, and I had to wake every two weeks to get paid so that week that I didn't get paid I drove over and I made a hundred five hundred bucks right
Starting point is 00:09:50 away only working three days and I was like what the fuck this is crazy it was like you're like that moment and I immediately went even harder every time I leave work I go work drive through the night and my next week I made $1,200 on Uber. And I told the Lecture Skaver Company, I'm like, hey, you know, I think I'm going to have to do something different because this Uber thing is paying off pretty good. And everything I do, I go 100%. And literally, I just started driving uber stacking up my money and
Starting point is 00:10:28 I was time to go to another level and I convinced my mom to go with me to dealership and buy me a suburban Hmm and put it on her name and I'll make the payment because I didn't have good credit. So how old were you? I was in my 20s. I don't know exactly. But it was like 10 years, 10, 12 years ago. And I think it was 2013. Okay. So I was probably around 2526, I think. And it just really changed my life. Having, knowing that I can go out every single day and control my own hours and make as much money as I want
Starting point is 00:11:16 gave me the freedom to really change my life. And given the opportunity, I just go at 100%. And given the opportunity, I just go at 100%. And as I started to drive Uber, I realized that I was really good at communication with people. I was really good at talking to people, they get in my car, they're instantly, I would get comfortable with them.
Starting point is 00:11:40 And along the way, I wanted to make my car different. I heard that sometimes if you only do something 10% different like a restaurant or something you can really just change the whole game and I really went at it 100%. At first I started off with some putting some LEDs in my car and then the LEDs I wanted to put more. I put, I created my own LEDs and I put it in the pockets of like the bottles. So the bottles would light up in different colors. Then I put LEDs under the pockets. Then I changed the light in the ceiling. I put blue lights. So it'd be like black light inside the car. Then I put like, I bought some neon glasses
Starting point is 00:12:25 and I had everybody in the car like, wear the neon glasses. Next thing you know, I wanted to do the sound system in the car. Next thing you know, like I went to a T-Pain party, not knowing that I was going to a T-Pain party, but it was an Xbox party. I show up there with my friend Patrick
Starting point is 00:12:44 and not knowing what it was, I just walked right in, there's like Xboxes everywhere, I see T-Pain, I go up and introduce myself, I told him about what I do, told him I want to take him for a ride, next thing you know I'm filming a video.

Starting point is 00:13:25 Hey, I'm going for a ride next. And this guy overhears it. And he's like, Can I go for ride two? And I'm like, Yeah, sure. So I take him for a ride. I show him my car. And he's like, Hey, I want to gift you with something. He goes over and gets me a gift. I unwrap it It's a brand new Xbox Wow, and he's like, my name is Aaron Greenberg I am the GM of Xbox. Holy crap, and it was just like whoa Those are hard to get these days. He's like listen, I'm the GM. I'm the general manager of Xbox I want to give you this Xbox. It's a limited edition. There's only a few of them in the world. And I want you to be the first one to have this Gears of War custom Xbox for you. And I was like, wow, you know, this Xbox is probably worth a lot of money, but I'm not
Starting point is 00:14:19 a type of person that just takes something, right? I want to add value because I think that's the most key thing to life is learning how you can add value. So what I did, I went to the drawing board, I got my friend Zach who was an inventor. I'm like, Zach, listen, I have this crazy idea. I need you to help me figure out how to make this happen. Shout out to Zach on that. The genius inventor here in Fort Lardo. And I actually lived with him. He was an important part in my success. Nice.
Starting point is 00:14:52 So Zach was this crazy, like he looks like Jesus. I was living in his house. He has a pet lemur. He has a zombie apocalypse car. This guy's different. And I'm like, Zach Zach I need you to help me invent how to put a TV here and here so I can make this Xbox experience happen so I went into the Best Buy I found the biggest TV I can find it was a 27 it was
Starting point is 00:15:18 a 24 inch TV and I put each one behind the headrest and Zach came up with the zip tie system that went into the four screws there and zip tied it to the headrest and we oh and we made four we put we've made two TVs on each side that were 24 inch and it really changed the whole experience. Now I created a video and I sent it over to Aaron Greenberg from Xbox. And he posted me to 10 million people on Xbox Twitter account. Damn. So that kind of started the relationship with Aaron and Xbox. Full circle moment. And just talk about being at the right place at the right time, getting an opportunity to get an Xbox, putting it in your Uber car, which nobody had,
Starting point is 00:16:15 I'd never seen that before, and just creating an Xbox experience out of my car. And that really, after that Xbox and those TVs in my car it led into me creating my own systems in the car that would communicate with the passengers and also allow them to play YouTube videos. Dude, you must have had five star reviews on you on uber you must have been the most highly reviewed driver. I wanted ten stars, five stars wasn't enough because I was going to engage you on so many different levels from sight.
Starting point is 00:16:48 See, I even created my own juice that I would put into the fog machine that would give you would taste the chocolate in the air. It's like those Vegas casinos that put scents in the air. You had that in the car. Yeah, I got like some organic ones that my friends helped me find from Whole Foods and I would mix it inside the, we even created our own smoke juice that was organic. My friend Zach, yeah, so it was easy to breathe in.
Starting point is 00:17:24 Dude, you went all out. Bro, all out is not even the word. You know what I'm saying? Because if you go through my Instagram, Sean, like you've seen it over time, you can track the progress. It's not, it's not like luck is I envisioned it in my mind and little by little I upgraded and upgraded and each time somebody's like yo You can't make your car better and I was like boom. I'm a little better a level up There's always levels to it. Yeah, like even here now. I'm sure there's your even though. You're super successful now There's always levels to it. Oh, there's more. I feel like I'm just getting started. Yeah. Yeah No, I love that you're on a podcast explaining the story because people will just see you with a
Starting point is 00:18:07 celebrity online they don't see the work that went into that. Exactly. Like you've driven every A-list celebrity in the world though. I tried. I mean quite the list. Could you name some of them for people watching? Okay so the biggest one that is well known as Drake. He promoted me. He loved my experience in the car and he did a full karaoke experience in my car and paid me. He gave me a hundred dollar tip at the end. He's like, this is for you. But it was just the fact that the first time I met him, I was actually at his album release party. I was driving this girl named Yes Jules and Yes Jules at the time she was one of the biggest snapchatters in the world next to DJ Khaled and Dr. Miami out here. So she was kind of on my radar
Starting point is 00:18:56 that I wanted to build a relationship with her and over time we became really good friends and I ended up driving her to Drake's album release party Like every single event that she had I was driving her around It became really good friends and I had her in the back seat of my car and all of a sudden We pulled up a little early and all of a sudden I see police and things shutting down I'm like, what the heck is the president pulling up? It was Drake. He literally Sean pulls up like the president pulling up? It was Drake. He literally Sean pulls up like president He has five or six escalades
Starting point is 00:19:30 Ten motorcycle cops. It's like the craziest thing you think that the president is really pulling up they're closing down streets and He pulls up the first car he rolls down the window and he walks straight up to my window and he rolls down the window and he walks straight up to my window and leans on the side of my window and he's like For all this is amazing. And then I was like, hey man. Thank you. You know, he's like, yeah I've been watching you keep up the good work Wow security knew you I guess that's awesome And he comes up and and he says hello and I'm like bro I love to drive you one day and he walks away and I'm, I don't even know if I can even get into this party. Like, he knows me now.
Starting point is 00:20:08 Maybe I can get in. And then I texted Jules. I'm like, you saw what happened. Like, he knows who I am. Maybe I can get in. She's like, yeah, I'm going to talk to his manager. Next thing you know, they come out, grab me. I'm inside, hanging out with his dad.
Starting point is 00:20:22 And like two months later later he ends up going it was he had he had two concerts that were sold out here in Miami yeah he goes to the top restaurants Swan in Miami and I somebody told me he's like yo Drake's inside and I was like wow really he's like yeah he's inside with DJ Khaled and I was like wow to me So I had some clients in between so I went and I took the clients and I came back I saw that Khaled's car was still outside. I'm like, you know what? I'm gonna post up here I'm gonna set up the red carpet I'm gonna show Khaled like my car put on the vibes put on the red carpet have callous music blasting
Starting point is 00:21:03 And when the Khalid walks out, I'm gonna give him the experience and like give him something to post about. I look around and Cal is already in his car and he took off. Ah, but I look across the street and there's Drake. So I immediately switched gears. I played sicko mode and all of a sudden Drake looks at me
Starting point is 00:21:26 and he's like, what the fuck? He's like, so I immediately gotta walk over him, I dab him up and Grumman puts him in my car and he's like, take him bowling. And that night was crazy. He did a full Instagram moment in my car, posted on his story. While the concert was still going on, I was still on his story.
Starting point is 00:21:49 Legendary. With sold out shows. Dude, that's huge. Grumman's a good guy to know too. He's an amazing person and he's always been the most humble person. He always supports everything I do and you know, can't thank him enough. He's, he's an amazing person and Miami right there. Yeah, that's big time. Yeah, that's a crazy story. If you have Drake and David Grumman, you know, you know, vouching for you. That's all you need.
Starting point is 00:22:22 You know, you can't get much higher than that. Yeah, and you always gotta have a clean name, you know? No matter if you met me 10 years ago or 20 years ago, I'm still the same humble person. I'm still always adding value. There's people still, people that come up to me and say that I've changed their life. And I just, I'm just me. You're the same person I remember from eight years ago.
Starting point is 00:22:43 We just rekindled right now. We haven't seen each other in eight years, but you're the same person. I remember from eight years ago. We just rekindled right now Yeah, we haven't seen each other in eight years, but you're the same exact person which is good, man No, we've seen each other before where um There was like bro. We were at this I think as a Rufus del Sol in Miami Event in Windwood and we ran into each other. Oh, is it like during art week or something? I think it was art week. I barely remember we went to like this warehouse and we ran into each other was it like during art week or something? I think it was our week. I barely remember we went to like this warehouse and In each other. Yeah, I remember that some event. Yeah, okay. It might have been crypto might have been crypto week or something Oh week. Yeah, okay, but still dude. No, you're always running into each other and each time we're on new levels
Starting point is 00:23:21 Yeah, no, it's important that you said that because in Miami, there's a of scammers and people don't care about their reputation. Yeah, but it's important Yeah, you know, but out here do you there's some weird scams. Do you read any books? I I'm more of an audiobook guy. Yeah me too. I cast her but yeah. Yeah. Why what books are so I want to say like two books really changed my life was one of them Was the law of attraction. Right. Because it was learning that I have the power to attract anything I want into my life and learning that everything in life revolves off of attraction.
Starting point is 00:24:01 And I can go and attract anything into my life. Learning that everything has a frequency. Once I learned that everything had a frequency and I can control my own frequency, I started to eliminate negative thoughts from my mind and change the way I thought. So every thought had to be a positive thought. I eliminated negative thoughts and what I learned was that was only one secret to it. Learning about the frequency was one thing, but learning that in order to get anything I ever wanted,
Starting point is 00:24:42 I have to put the action behind it because nothing will be given to me. And by reading another book by Brian Tracy called No Excuses taught me that if it's meant to be, it is up to me. And the moment I started to realize that, that if it's meant to be, it's up to me. I have to go get it, I have to go attract it, I have to go do it. If I don't put in this work, it will not happen. So even if I go broke, I gotta go do it. I gotta complete something.
Starting point is 00:25:15 And even if I don't complete it, at least I'll be one step closer to my dreams. And that always leveled me up, leveled me up. I love that dude. To the point where I had become the top driver. I had Drake talking about me. I had I drove in, I drove, I drove, um, Kim Kardashian's best friend, food God. Oh, he became a really close friend of mine.
Starting point is 00:25:44 I met him through, um, this guy called Murder Murphy. I don't murder. So I met him through murder and and murder was kind of his manager at the time. And he was like, listen, I'm going to connect you, you know, with my guy, Jonathan Food God, and I want you to meet him. And I'm I couldn't meet up with him when I wanted to meet him, but I met up with him. He had broken his phone and he was at the Apple store and Brickle fixing his phone. And I went and I met him underground in a parking garage
Starting point is 00:26:19 where nobody would bother him and we can do our video. I rolled out the red carpet, filmed the video, and like a month later, he posted it. But when he posted it, he was at dinner with Kim Kardashian in Miami. And it was like two chains wedding, and there was like a big media thing in Miami. I didn't know what was going on
Starting point is 00:26:42 because I was filming some stuff with Supreme Patty, but everybody started blowing up my phone. I'm like, what the heck's going on? And Kim commented on his post, come pick me up. Wow. So, I never got to meet Kim but just the fact that she said, come pick me up, my social media blew up again. Damn. That's big time, dude. Yeah, you're probably the number one celebrity driver. I Would say well, I'm saying probably celebrity driver There's probably a lot of celebrity drivers, but none of them focus on an experience right they just pick them up
Starting point is 00:27:17 They just you're just gonna be that guy that just picks you up and drops you off. You're not gonna be memorable Everybody that gets in my car. I make it a show. If I'm coming to pick up Sean Kelly, the most famous podcaster in the world, I'm going to roll out the red carpet and make his experience special. I'm going to have his branding on the TV. I'm going to have some smoke machine. I'm going to have some lights. I'm going to have champagne ready for him. Just like when I picked up Dan Bilzerian in Miami. I had everything lined up that came through Vitaly. He's blowing up right now.
Starting point is 00:27:52 Yeah. Well, Vitaly is a good friend of mine for a really long time as well.
