Like that workout you try to squeeze in between kids' activities, work, and everything else you have going on, and before you know it, it gets pushed to tomorrow. Sound familiar?
Starting point is 00:00:20 But it's the moments when you feel like you have no time for yourself when those non-negotiables are more important than ever.

I have to do the same thing. Right. I cannot maintain the same level of like interest in certain topics, the same, you know, friends, the same activities. I can't do the same thing forever. It has to change.
Starting point is 00:01:20 My friends have to change. You know why I don't want you? Because my my worth nothing welcome to the digital social hour podcast i'm your host sean kelly here with my co-host wayne lewis what up what up and our guest today him 500 what up boss what's up i'm good i'm good man mr him him not them right right right got the watch on hit me neutron this is like you know i'm with the family man this is this is like that's a comfortable day yeah there's some light work. What you in Vegas for? Family. Had a family emergency. Family trip.
Starting point is 00:02:08 Yeah, came out and not a family trip, family emergency. So we came out and spent some time and make sure everybody was good. Nice. Yeah. What you been working on lately? Honestly, man, just building up my community. Building and working and just doing some stuff on youtube starting to play on youtube more because you've been kind of off the scenes like kind of kind of like i ain't been selling as much step back a little bit right yeah it's i built a
Starting point is 00:02:37 new um platform so we built eyl university okay powered by recession proof and so with that I've been kind of like operating and building off the operations behind the scenes so we focus on that so we get back outside now yeah I thought somebody might have pissed you off yeah everybody's taking taking your style mighta you know is is is one of the things that I do see is that in the community is that it uh becoming I guess yeah yeah all right cool i know but yeah you know it comes with the territory um but my thing is i teach people how to be me right like i don't put mdas out there i don't put do not compete i teach you something you master it go run you know learn how to empower other people that's gonna be the
Starting point is 00:03:20 main goal is win but just be just do right you know what i'm saying like stand on your word like you know selling information at this point is a business it ain't it's it's really a business so treat it like a business and as your product you don't got to leave with the bullshit i'm just trying to help like i'm not gonna make money too like i'm in business to make money so if i'm here to make money make sure my product is good make sure your product is good if you sell a course and you go you sell the information redo it you know what i mean and if you're not an expert at something partner with an expert it's cool if you could sell better than if i could outsell you i'll get an expert to come in and expose you to more people right so it's just all strategy so but i just been building and figuring out how to like because now we're going in a different model expanding you know
Starting point is 00:04:04 throughout the world instead of just being in the US. So I got a chapter in Canada and Europe and Africa coming. When expanding, in that aspect, are you applying different methods? Because different methods apply for different countries, different states, or like how do you expand in that aspect, dealing with so many different countries, continent, people, scenarios?
Starting point is 00:04:29 Taking Canada, for example. Right. Because the laws are different, right? Yeah. So you're constantly learning. Exactly. So I've been mastering and building out my credit for Canada. Okay.
Starting point is 00:04:41 Realizing that my credit report over here don't apply to the one in Canada so okay so what so how does that look like you you learn the dope part is I started learning the border in states are the states that we kind of look at like Detroit okay because people can live in Detroit and work in Canada mmm pardon of New York, Buffalo. Part of Washington. So you look at the banking systems of where they connect. And so it's starting to teach me, okay, this is my end over here into the country.
Starting point is 00:05:17 These are the entry points where the banking systems kind of meet. But just learning their systems and how their credit reporting agencies work it's a lot different but it doesn't it it's a way that you can have it where it doesn't collide where what's on your u.s credit report doesn't affect your canada credit report wow so somebody got bad credit in the u.s they ain't got bad credit in canada oh but why is that though can you elaborate on that or you want to it's different different systems okay different countries different systems you know you credit still the same bureaus right somewhat no but someone yes and no but like you go africa they don't do credit what is there based on i ain't all the way deep there yet so i don't but you know a lot of stuff is not based like it ain't all the way deep there yet so i know but you know a lot of stuff
Starting point is 00:06:06 is not based like it ain't credit based so a lot of countries you start going into that don't base around credit and things like that is cash so it's different models of business and in ways that we can utilize them together but i'm still learning like i ain't an expert at it i'm still learning and that's why i'm kind of fleshing it out and i've been focused on that because it's like yo we got a lot of room for expansion and growth as entrepreneurs business owners like to really grow in different that's a totally different way to think about it because as the world shift and we're dealing with a change in currency your businesses are going to have to be international you're going to have to make them footprints over there and plant them seeds over there so you your
Starting point is 00:06:47 first thing is understanding their banking system and leveraging over there already you guys like he's like 10 years ahead well that happened to Nick because remember he was in Canada and he had no credit when he moved to the US yeah yeah that's and you you start realizing like yo how do we use the system because in the US credit is super popular it's not as much over there they learn they make money they do things but it's not as lucrative the reward points and things like that it doesn't it's not the same it's not so many banks out there trying to give $25,000 credit cards trying to compete
Starting point is 00:07:22 amongst each other for interest rates. So it's just different. Now, how did you get in the info product space? Because you made millions with it. But where were you at before you started? So before the info, I was real estate. I deal with real estate. I used to do cell phone repair and just an entrepreneur, like always working in different businesses. And I'm like, like yo i start making money
Starting point is 00:07:45 from having good credit so i'm like yo how can i literally like get more people like me like if i can get 10 people um 100 000 we got a million dollars right we can go invest a million flip it do things um and change everything so i was like yo let me put out there like y'all I'm into her ten people for a thousand dollars right you realize everybody don't want the same objective they looked at something I said in my marketing and what I was gonna teach and that's how they want it they want a partner be team members and I'm like oh okay well did they seen it you know I'm just posting on social media I understand marketing and I'm like oh okay well they seen it you know i'm just posting on social media i understand marketing and i'm like on my stories just showing like our call people like yo
Starting point is 00:08:32 can i join next month i'm like ain't no next month well 10 people thousand miles a piece it could be a next month so i put it out there bro 18 people signed up wow and a thousand a piece that was that was the first time that was the second time first time i sold out 10 so i said oh 18 i said well i put i created a facebook group for the first group. So the second group, literally my Facebook group is still called Him 500 Mentorship. And I'm like, it was just for us to talk and communicate. So I put the second people in the group. And the first people was helping them.
Starting point is 00:09:19 And I said, yo, this is dope. And I was like, well, shit, we growing. I can keep letting people come in right man bro that's what started and then i did a uh a conference i'm like yo let's come together get together in atlanta i did a small event 2019 did a small event where everybody just came probably was like under 100 of us and bro it was like a family reunion for everybody to finally meet and it just created this community yeah this culture morphed into something crazy 20 000 members strong just did what it was supposed to wow so your skill is
Starting point is 00:09:58 building a community basically it was i didn't know bro it was it's turned into that now i can say that but initially it was the the biggest thing for me what i looked at was giving people what they needed what i didn't have like you know when we build and you coming up you'd be by yourself like how many people you still got around you from when you was 18 being that person to other people that you need being that you need resources yeah yeah like it was like person to other people that you need that you need resources yeah yeah like it was like what's the resource that i need it's like bro i need other hustlers like i want to be around other people talking about money like how do we get around each other and it ain't always got to be like sale so instead of me saying yo man you teach
Starting point is 00:10:37 about e-commerce come sell to my people i'm like nah i'm gonna buy your course and give it to them so if they want to learn e-commerce they got it readily available so it's like being I was I know that I never forget a video me said like yo the your crew is only as good as the boss right like if you a thieving boss you have a thieving crew you got a given boss do you have a given crew right my thing was always to not be selfish hmm bro whatever course y'all need, I'll go get it. I'll go get the experts. Y'all looking, I've seen buying businesses is cool.
Starting point is 00:11:10 I'll go get with Roland Frazier. I'll pay to be in his masterminds and get the course and bring this back to my tribe. I'm not going, I don't want y'all to go pay other people. Stay with me. I'm doing conferences. Y'all want to go to conferences? I'm doing one better than everybody.
Starting point is 00:11:23 I'm going to have the biggest one and it's free. Now what? Now you don't want to go to conferences i'm doing one better than everybody i'm gonna have the biggest one and it's free now what now you don't got to go to theirs you're gonna we're gonna have our own and it's just us so it's the each one teach one mentality you go back you get the you you go back you hunt you bring the food back and you teach them how to do it and and i bring the experts in to help so that way everybody is is because you know and it's more cost effective that that way for them yeah yeah yeah but everybody can afford 50k it's lucrative for me because you can one-stop shop here right and i'm housing and putting everything together for us here where you ain't gotta go five six different places buying all these different courses right like you learn credit you go get the money and you're like what do i want to do with it i want to start an e-commerce store well now you got to go spend another five thousand to learn
Starting point is 00:12:09 e-commerce and hope that this person stand on it and that they got a good course you're already a trusted source system here we got it right here we got the support system here now you got to go do the work we're here gotcha so that's kind of like how i built. Like I didn't have nobody to give me opportunities and give me education and give it to me like that. And I'm like, as I started, it just kind of morphed. And I just started realizing like because people will come and want to sell to my community. And I'm like, I don't want you to sell my community. So here, I give you $25,000. I give you $50,000.
Starting point is 00:12:41 Give me your course. People like, bet. Now it's at a point they give it to me for free because somebody probably watching like, man, I'll sell you my course for $25,000. I give you 50,000. Give me your course. People like, bet. Now it's at a point they give it to me for free because somebody probably watching like, man, I'll say my course is 25,000. It's free now. You got to give it the community too big. It make you an authority in your space. So after, you know, being in this space for so long, right, and dealing with so many different people, what are some of the things still to this day that frustrate you about certain people or certain communities and even us i got the black community frustrate me yeah or that you feel like even with yourself like cool is it me need a space like this now bro is is it's a lot
Starting point is 00:13:22 of things out there right you got fear mongering people out there confusing people got people scared to to invest in education and they fear monger and and cause bull topics to make it cool to um to get views right you know i'm saying and then you get you get the followers who say like oh man i want to i'm gonna do what they doing because it's working like negativity start getting clicks and views and you get the the spineless backbone line that go oh since that's getting clicks and views i'm gonna be negative like them right and it's like positive for in the last five years and now because it's cool to be negative you want to be negative and and your positivity ain't selling no more how it was you've been in fault yeah it's like bro you
Starting point is 00:14:05 cause confusion like if somebody built a lane for themselves look at how they lane you need good and bad you need it you need people to for the every guy it got to be a devil for the comparables it's needed yeah yeah it's 100 needed but what happens is the people in the like you got to remember there's consumers looking and watching when you stand on one side of positive like stay where you was that don't go come conform and switch over because of the negative start getting attention that's that's that's hella lame to me another thing frustrate me is people that say yo you know our community we start to feel like we shouldn't have to pay for information right and like we'll say the same Plymouth Rock landed on us.
Starting point is 00:14:46 We ain't land on Plymouth Rock. Plymouth Rock landed on us. Yeah. Yo, man, we got crab in a bucket mentality. And then the same was, well, who put us in the bucket? Mm-hmm. It's perfect. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:15:00 I shouldn't have to pay for information? No. Why can't you afford it? Mm-hmm. I shouldn't have to pay for information? No. Why can't you afford it? When you say you want something, why aren't you in a position to be able to afford it? If somebody tells you it's $1,000 for you to learn and for me to help you do something and you can't afford the $1,000, the issue is not me charging you the $1,000. The issue is why you can't afford it. The issue is what you do every day and you ain't got $1,000. You can go work at a McDonald's. You got three options thousand dollars hey you could drive for you can go work
Starting point is 00:15:26 at mcdonald's you got three options i give people three options you can go labor take your to a warehouse a fedex a toys r us you can go work at mcdonald's uber if you let you you're a boss i don't i can't work for nobody okay well look big man you broke and ain't you can't go work for somebody well then go work for yourself and do uber people make the top 83 percent of people who drive for uber make over 75 000 a year i know dude made 100 driving for uber yeah it's wild so go drive for uber if not worst case bro can i check your dms for you for 125 a week and and i check your dms for you for $125 a week? And I check your DMs for $125 a week. Give me your passport. You don't got to send me your password.
Starting point is 00:16:09 Do it on LastPass. It's an app that will give me access to your messages. I don't have to log into your actual Instagram. I can just check the messages. If business owners ain't checking their messages, give me $125 a week. That's $500 a month. If I get 10 people, that's $5,000 a month. Now I'm making $5,000 a month. a month okay cool you got a product for sale you got something for sale can I get three percent three
Starting point is 00:16:32 to five percent commission off anything I sell in a DM mm-hmm now I'm making an extra let's just say I make an extra five hundred dollars a week affiliate yeah employee I'm working it's your stuff i need a commission i'm a sales agent now because i'm checking your dms yeah i'm making five thousand dollars a month checking the dms now if i can get five hundred dollars a week in commissions out of the dms from people already sending you messages i'm at five hundred dollars a week on ten people that's five thousand a week five thousand a week that's twenty five thousand 000 a month why you ain't got no money it's not that you don't do it it's don't want to work right it's grinding hustle i worked in
Starting point is 00:17:14 warehouses i check my own dms but like when i tell you i get up and work like i fly around seven days a week we they say we don't got an opportunity and or people want to charge for information people won't effort for information because it takes it cost me a hundred thousand dollars a month to operate my business for me to have customer support when you want to send an email in for me to put a Facebook group together for me to build out my app and have an app and a software and a tech team to do live calls and have coaches creating curriculums now to it's currently things come about we create our own curriculums in-house I got hr to hire staff i got
Starting point is 00:17:46 26 people i sell education that's my product i have to make sure my product is good it costs me to fulfill this it costs me to create this it costs me to market it costs me to brand for you to even see me and know who i am i'm not out here and nobody know me so i'm just getting paid it costs to to market marketing advertise that's the thing that people don't realize it's a business right and all men it's a hustle it's not a hustle it's a real business I got a eight-figure business did 25 million two years like it's a real business it's not a hustle so when you join something like this it costs to create right that's what I tell people
Starting point is 00:18:24 like yo and it'd be frustrating because they're like, you should give it to me. No. You're not going to be successful if you don't got $1,000. I was charging $5,000. If you don't got $5,000, you know why I don't want you? Because my $5,000 is worth nothing. You're not willing
Starting point is 00:18:40 to dedicate to yourself. And the reason I say you're not worth nothing is because you're only worth the ability that you have with your work ethic you only work your work ethic right however hard you're willing to work that's the only amount of success you're gonna get right it's all based off your work ethic if you're not willing to work and you say i'm and i'm broke and you ain't willing to go work then you're never gonna be successful and nothing i teach you is gonna help you right it's no point of me even trying to help you i only help those willing to put the work in if you're not they say oh people don't be successful on courses they don't work it's not that they oh i learned a book but then i didn't go do nothing they didn't
Starting point is 00:19:14 apply the knowledge that they learned or it's the work either way every day you got to get up and work every day yeah every day you got to get up and work if you wake up and and you like and what happens is and i know it starts with mindset because it's easy to sit down and get contemplated and get bogged down with, I'm broke. And you get consumed with negativity and you get consumed and be stressed out and you let it beat you. Man, I just can't figure it out. And it beats you.
Starting point is 00:19:40 You got to get that shit off your shoulder. That's how I tell people, do whatever's uncomfortable, but just something go work at the mcdonald's go do uber i know you may not want to do that but you do that to get it off your shoulders to where you like okay i'm i don't want to do this but i'm feeding myself doing it what's next right i gotta do something next but you got movement right you willing to get up and work you're doing it's not bogging you down and you're dormant you sit there dormant and you be in the comments looking like a saying give it to me for free or do that like no offense like you like a like i'll be telling men bro you got to get that off you right like you got it as men you got to get it up off you like let that go and and be like let me figure out let me go work right i i we have to
Starting point is 00:20:27 have movement i can work with my mind i can work with my hands i can work with my labor anyway but don't sit and complain like somebody owe you something right work for it like that's powerful how did getting successful affect your relationship with your family and friends great um my family's amazing so you know with me is i would say it's amazing but it's a stressful thing because i move a lot i'm always traveling um and i had to i i had to figure out like I already didn't have great examples when it came to being a father. So I have to learn, like, man, I'm not, I know I'm not the best dad. Well, who is? Like, who do people I'm going to study like to be a best dad?
Starting point is 00:21:28 And I started, you know, purposely making friends with fathers me to have the ability, some freedom to be able to finance things that I probably wouldn't be able to. So I can take my family with me when I go somewhere. I can take the whole family on vacations and, and still work. You know what I mean? So it's like, sometimes I know I'm going to have to leave and be focused only on the business and they got to take the back seat. But it's sometimes when my business don't take the back seat and I'm and I'm because I'm in a financial position, I can put my business in the back seat when my family need
Starting point is 00:21:54 me. And it's like, nah, it's Christmas. We out, we two weeks, we in Paris, we're going to do this, we're going to Disneyland over here. I can spend time and dedicate this to them and go okay i know like if i do nothing my daughter's happy with me waking up in the house and and and eating captain crunch like this this is her morning here let's just play hide and seek cool let's let's go play tag and ride and run around the house my oldest let's go swimming i want to get on get on the roller coasters with me like these are the things that they require from me and you know the the finance part is is cool because now we go to paris and go to disneyland we don't wait in no long so i'll go through the whole park in two hours three hours sometimes one line there's two hours yeah for sure bro bro listen is it but this is what you know and it's not to say I don't want to be vanity and be frank.
Starting point is 00:22:47 I feel like I'd be comfortable here. I ain't got no censor. But we get to it. Like, this is what we work for because it's things in our life that we desire. Like, it may be you may want to tie and donate a million dollars to your church, $100,000 to your church. Like, it's a lot of things, whatever it is that you desire. For me, I want my kids to have experiences. I want them to be well-traveled.
Starting point is 00:23:11 I want them to understand no different languages, different cultures. I'm looking at moving to Dubai at the end of the year. I want them to be exposed to the world. I got exposed to the community and to hood, and those things hindered me for a long time right and and I'm still getting those bandages off I still got those traumas and and from growing up where I grew up and so even sometimes the way I speak like it still is it sits on this it's in you not on you so
Starting point is 00:23:39 it's like yeah yeah so it's like how do I, you know, create a human? I'm creating my children. I created you. So I have the ability to put you in environments that pour into who you become. Right. So everything that inserts into who you become is based off of what I present to you. So I want you to be world travel. I want you to understand different cultures.
Starting point is 00:24:04 I don't want you to be of one culture. I don't want you to be like, like. I don't want you to be like, like I only knew 20 years of my life. I grew up in one city and only knew that demographic and only knew that lifestyle, only knew that culture and only knew the traumas and everything, the negativity that came with it and everybody else that came with this. Right. So now I'd be like, wait a minute. I moved to Atlanta and i see black excellence and it was like man it's amazing here and you could be whatever you want it's black excellence and i go and i succeed and you feel like i made it right and then you realize that it's a false sense of security because ain't no other city in the world like atlanta where you could be black and everybody
Starting point is 00:24:41 you every restaurant you go to is black owned and the valet is black owned the airport is full of black employees and you take your now you got this money and you take to Dubai and you realize that yep you by yourself again right right you know i'm saying you go to Istanbul you in Paris and it's like oh okay nah this is not the world right and it's a lot of different cultures that you don't understand religions that you don't understand the way that these countries operate everywhere don't operate like the US and it's cool that they're different right and I want to like understand that and I want my kids to understand that and not think that oh man you grew up and you deal with a black and white society with uh the white people are pressing the black and talking about slavery and this is a big thing it's like this is where we come from but
Starting point is 00:25:28 this is people go through this all around the world different levels different reasons skin colors religious types it's a lot that come with it and i just want them to be you know exposed to that so you're seems like you're i mean just by the you know from what i've seen that you're big on recreating yourself like how did that come about and like you're constantly recreating yourself like you look different like you know it's like you like why like not why but like i know you're constantly evolving like how do you stay evolving like what keeps you going like what keeps you going bro is that you can't be like look at look at the the things how things grow right we're on a podcast right podcast didn't exist five years ago not at all music used to be on cds in the 90s it was on ipods in by 2006 it was on the phone by 2010
Starting point is 00:26:25 now it's to a point where that's the biggest place to market music is on podcasts and different shows you don't go radio no more like nobody like people will go on a podcast keep it up but people will go on drink chants before they go to breakfast club now
Starting point is 00:26:42 people don't need to go there we don't gotta go to radio I go to my man yeah i go to dj academics put on his social media things change and evolve and you look at it and you go how do what makes me different because i'm a human yeah every industry and everything in my life has changed the look at technology the dot-com era to phones and smartphones and now to the point where how you hire how people do jobs everything is off the phone like it used to be oh yeah i need to get an office to have all these computers it's like nah you need a office with charging port like all you need is charging ports bro work off your phone give you no laptop like if you ain't doing digital editing like mo and you can do that off your phone.
Starting point is 00:27:27 It's nothing in this world you can't do off your phone. So when you look at it, it's like the world is constantly evolving. Now with AI, I look at what's going on with stocks. Two years ago, if I said, bro, if you want a sure bet investment, just put your money in Apple, Google. You put it in an ETF, back with all the big tech companies like apple and microsoft and you know next 10 15 years it's a sure bet you'll get a good return you don't got to really worry about losing because historically these companies have won now ai comes around and rocks their world nowadays their stocks is questionable now is oh what is they what is, they gotta, they gotta recreate.
Starting point is 00:28:06 They gotta go to work. Right. And, and a lot of these stock company and they stocks is dropping down. Right. So now it's not that much of a sure bet. These AI companies is skyrocketing, not saying they're sure bet because they haven't proven themselves over time, but they evolve. The markets evolve and grow. I'm'm i have to do the same thing right i cannot maintain the same level of like interest in certain topics the same you know friends the same activities i can't do the same thing forever it has to change my friends have to change my uh the the business model has to change everything has to change constantly and be okay with it because then i never get comfortable there are so many people that's afraid to change bro they're scared to grow yeah one thing i knew i always made my wife go
Starting point is 00:28:59 back and forth i tell i say listen i'm not i don't over celebrate my highs like i don't over celebrate my wins and i don't get down on my lows i stay in a solid space where i'm comfortable because i know i'm constantly evolving i'm constantly gonna be changing and you know i'm gonna make moves some moves maybe for the good some moves maybe for the bad but just keep moving keep moving movement is everything and that's what propels us forward you know i'm saying like if i tell anybody that it's like yo keep working keep moving like how long you been doing this four months four months 200 episodes in we'll be at 200 episodes this this end of this week this this week outwork everybody that's exactly what we are you know what i'm saying out work
Starting point is 00:29:48 that's it it's just like yo like it's just outwork people like you grind so hard and do so much you're like yo i'll just outwork you because most people don't want to work yeah people overthink it they think it's some secret formula but if you just outwork that's like 80 of it yeah and the reason why i was saying that is because um you know i seen the you know the credit the transformation and then now you know it's more so like you're applying the content you're pushing like this emphasis on why companies need they should be pushing contents and you mentioned finstas and how some people are using their finstas for or to you know do whatever because they don't want to be seen by their jobs and you
Starting point is 00:30:24 like nah your company should have a finsta you know don't because they don't want to be seen by their jobs and you like nah your company should have a finsta you know don't follow nobody so you can get understand the algorithm and so that you can start you know using that as market research and things of that sort so i was like okay yeah because because bro you know a lot of people looked at me as a credit guy yeah credit was just a product yeah like i'm a business just a gateway just just a store opener it was what i was it was what i was selling this is what i led with to teach people about business it was just my entryway to show you what you can do with business right i'm not the master and the best person in credit right i just mastered how to get more money than
Starting point is 00:30:59 everybody else leveraging credit so i can help people get more money leveraging credit right you can be the master of credit but you can't get the money i know how people get more money leveraging credit right you can be the master of credit but you can't get the money i know how to get with it i'm the master of that and so what happens is is that you know i have several conversations and me and trap always had conversations and he'd be like bro you're bad motherfucking kind of this business i know you'd be talking that credit he's like but i think they overlook your business business side and i'm like you know and i'm like, you know what?
