You have worked so hard to make your business into a reality, but achieving your next business goal,
Starting point is 00:00:36 that can be overwhelming. What if you had someone to talk through the options of the next steps with? Someone who wants to see your business succeed while giving you peace of mind. That's why the bankers at Merchants Bank are here, ready with exceptional service every step of the way. Let's dream together. Visit merchantsbank.com to get started. Merchants Bank is a proud member of FDIC. Are you crypto? I am. Oh, nice. If you're getting it now, it's pretty tough. I know, I know. Seriously. I heard about Bitcoin before it got big.
Starting point is 00:01:08 So it's like one of those things where, oh my God, I did kind of know about it. Yeah. Every town had that one Bitcoin nerd or whatever. The ones I feel bad for are the ones that actually had a lot of it and couldn't access it. I feel so bad. If they could access it now, it'd be worth hundreds of millions. I know, they'd be set for life. Crazy, dude.
Starting point is 00:01:28 All right, guys, we're in Las Vegas. We partnered with DraftKings, the sports capital of the world. With football season kicking off, it's the perfect time of the year to dive into the action with my partners at DraftKings, the number one place to bet on touchdowns.

All right, guys, we got Shoebomb here coming off another circle appearance, right? Yeah, man. It's great to be here. Thanks for having me. Absolutely, man. Is this one of your first podcasts? No, I've done a few around the years, but I'm stoked to be here, man. This is sick. We're in Vegas. Oh yeah. You in Vegas a lot? Um, no, I want to come more though. I love the town. Yeah. Yeah. That's a rare take. Most people don't like it here cause they lose money. No,
Starting point is 00:02:14 I like it. You know, you guys have great shows here. The ambience is electric. So I like it. Yeah. It can't beat the shows. I'm with you on that. Yeah. Like the circus shows are incredible. Yeah. Which ones have you seen? The Cirque de Soleil though oh yeah yeah I saw that one I saw another one yo some of those scare me though oh really I saw one where they were jumping like 40 feet into the smallest pool of water yeah and I got a little nervous ah did you see that one dude maybe I don't remember I saw someone jump in like a fountain but crazy man well what you what you been up to? Did you get a master's degree recently? Yeah, I don't know. I've been finishing it up.
Starting point is 00:02:47 So I'm studying in England. So at Oxford, I've been doing like a part-time master's. And yeah, it's been super fun. So hopefully next year I'm done. Oxford, man. That's top of the top. Yeah, I loved Harry Potter and they filmed a lot there. So that was like a stoked thing.
Starting point is 00:03:00 I'm stoked to go. Harry Potter is the best. What's your favorite Harry Potter movie? Oh, I love them all. But the fourth one. I'm the same. Goblet of Fire. Really? I knew that. We're already on is the best. What's your favorite Harry Potter movie? Oh, I love them all, but the fourth one. I'm the same. Goblet of Fire. Really?
Starting point is 00:03:07 I knew that. We're already on the same page. That's my favorite. 100%. It's a rare take, though. People don't have that one at their top, usually. Yeah, I know. I'm glad you have it, though.
Starting point is 00:03:15 Yeah, but that was the first one where it got real. Yeah. I think that was the first big death, and it just felt... The darkness was coming real. Yeah, darkness started coming. Yeah, dude. Cedric. I haven't watched any of the newer ones or whatever, but.
Starting point is 00:03:28 Oh, like the Fantastic Beasts one? Yeah. Have you seen those? Yeah, I saw them. They're good. I like them, but yeah, they're good. I feel like you just can't beat the original. The Harry Potter's incredible.
Starting point is 00:03:36 Yeah. Yeah, 100%. So you were on season one of The Circle and season five? Yeah, I was on season one and five, yeah. Which one did you like more? Oh, they were both so fun. I look at it as one continuation. Okay.
Starting point is 00:03:48 Both so fun. Season one, Incredible People. Five's great. So both are good. Nice. And you were an interesting person because you were anti-social media before going on, right? Yeah, social Medusa.
Starting point is 00:03:57 And why were you so against it? Well, my thing was, I thought, you know, with social media, it was very addicting, especially for the youth. And that can have like negative effects on their you know mental health and if you look at studies i think we're in a loneliness pandemic right now in an epidemic so i think social media plays a part to that and i also thought sometimes you can create like a false sense of reality is you see people like their lives but it might not feel real so it's like a comparison contest
Starting point is 00:04:21 that makes people feel bad having said that i i after the circle i see some good stuff with it okay i think it's sick you can express yourself or connect with new friends yeah um so i look at it as good and bad now okay yeah i think it's good and bad yeah but overall what's your take like net positive or net negative overall good question um net i'm not sure yet okay we'll see time will tell i think it's really what you choose to focus on i agree it's what you make of it yeah because some people are mindlessly scrolling some people are learning a lot through podcasts and interviews so i think for me it's positive mainly i do think personally though i will say i think social media has gotten better over the last couple years i
Starting point is 00:05:03 like that the algorithm has become democratized where even if people someone doesn't have a lot of followers is the content that pushes out in a way so yeah i think it's more democratized it's also desensitizing because on my instagram i see death of animals i see death of people like every day um so it does kind of desensitize you to certain things as well so you got to keep an eye on that yeah i think it's good and bad like you said yeah but i just try not to scroll too often to catch 22 i know because i have to find interesting guests but i also can't get wrapped up in tiktok feeds i know i know because the time can just go like all day you're like in the morning and then it's night no it's super addicting man yeah um did you run for governor oh i did yeah a long time ago yeah where was that at
Starting point is 00:05:41 uh california it was i think the 2018 election it would be, like, a good experience to run, and it would be sick. Yeah. My last name is Goyle, so I had, like, my slogan was the gold rush. What was your big takeaway from doing that? What did you learn? Oh, super fun. I think a lot of people do want to help.

Help out and make things better than what is happening or what has happened. But the important thing is like when you're advocating for platforms that you
Starting point is 00:08:06 want, like when a candidate runs, I think an important thing is that the platform is feasible so that it can be done and that people can buy into it. Cause if it's feasible, then it's easier to get people on board. I feel that. Did you have to engage in any debates when you were running?
Starting point is 00:08:20 I did. Yeah. They were super fun. I got to like talk to all these people and learned a lot. I can't see you like going out somewhere. You're so nice. Like I literally can't. It was, They were super fun. I got to talk to all these people and learned a lot. I can't see you going at someone. You're so nice. I literally can't. It was more positive.
Starting point is 00:08:30 Because I didn't have much financial support because I didn't raise money for this campaign. Oh, self-funded? Self-funded. So I had to try to sneak into a debate in San Jose and I got in. So that was fun. I was just like that.
Starting point is 00:08:44 But yeah. Yeah, because you need money to play at that level, right? Yeah, yeah. Honestly, for some of the races, do a debate yeah in san jose and i got in so that was fun and i was just like but yeah yeah because you need money to play at that level right yeah yeah honestly like for some of the races you need like upwards of hundreds of a lot of millions dollars what yeah and that's at a state level that's not even federal yeah that's pretty compelling candidate but you know there are there are different ways like you don't always need money right because the right candidate can push through that but yeah it depends what were the biggest changes you were advocating for at that time yeah that's a great question um i think one of the things was there's a board of regents that govern the nine uc campuses so i was thinking um instead of the governor electing those regents also the students could
Starting point is 00:09:18 vote for them themselves because it's like they're kind of representing the students so it'd be good to have like a combination yeah elected by the governor but also appointed by people um and then another thing i was i was actually uh another thing was like really focusing on um bridging like silicon valley more into the government so like i was thinking about like opening these funds where we reroute money to like give silicon valley companies like um contracts to work on certain stuff whether it's like farm irrigation or like um i, we could, like, use some of their AI databases and put that into our healthcare system. That'd be more efficient.
Starting point is 00:09:52 Yeah. For sure. It'd be cool. Because, you know, Silicon Valley is so incredible. It's, like, it's a powerhouse. Well, how is it these days? Because a lot of these tech companies got wrecked, right, with the valuations. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:02 The whole, oh, my God, the world has changed so much these last few years. Yeah, I think – yeah, man. I think the pandemic and everything has had such an adverse effect on so many people. Yeah, I heard it's rough out there now, like a lot of homeless and hopefully that changes. Oh, yeah. I always loved California. It's like, you know, I have such a soft spot because I grew up there. But, yeah, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:10:23 So where are you at now? So I'm half the time in norcal half time in socal oh wow cali boy for life best of both huh yeah yeah absolutely what's your uh what do you like more north cal or south cal oh good question i think you know if i'm trying to have fun and kick it socal but the fam bam norcal okay yeah what do you do for fun uh oh i love to metal detect metal detect, that's been sick. That's a cool answer. Go on like the hype. What's the coolest thing you found metal detecting? A lot of rusty
Starting point is 00:10:50 nails. And are those valuable? No. Just have antiseptic soap when you touch them. So I found a chest. I found a little chest, a jewel chest. It wasn't worth much, but I thought that was super cool. That is cool. Yeah. I used to see those people at the beach because I grew up in Jersey. Oh, sick. They would walk around with metal detectors detectors see if anything washed up nice that's yeah i always
Starting point is 00:11:08 wanted to do it but it seems kind of like a lot of work yeah to dig up yeah no it's not too bad sometimes things are so deep it's like oh my god yeah yeah it's fun there's just one youtuber i watch who goes in rivers and metal detects oh i saw that that's cool so cool he'll find like guns yeah he's actually helped solve some murders. I saw that. And then, or maybe it was, I saw one where it was a magnet fishing or something. It might've been that.
Starting point is 00:11:31 Yeah. Yeah. No, he's literally solved like murders because they find the weapons. Yeah. So it's pretty interesting. That's cool. He finds a lot of iPhones too.
Starting point is 00:11:39 Wow. I love iPhones. Yeah. You do? So you're not an Android guy? No, I like Androids, but I love iPhones, you know. Wow, I've never heard someone like both. Usually it's one or the other.
Starting point is 00:11:48 No, I think it's cool, like, you know, someone like, if you're texting someone, it turns green. I'm like, oh, that's cool, it's different. I hate that, dude. You actually like that feeling? Yeah, because it's like, oh, is it network issues or is it because they have an Android? Hell no.
Starting point is 00:12:00 Trust issues for me if it's green. Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah, I feel that. Yeah, yeah. What else do you do other than metal detecting um i love to play tennis and ultimate frisbee and bike and um yeah man just kick it pickleball walk uh i do like the idea of pickleball i think it's cool
Starting point is 00:12:15 that so many people have gotten more into like racket sports yeah so i like pickleball it's fun and you know they always got like cool restaurants nearby and yeah are you a pickleballer a little bit uh tennis is very taxing on the body yeah no i feel that you know that they always got like cool restaurants nearby. And yeah, are you a pickleballer? A little bit. Tennis is very taxing on the body. Yeah, no, I feel that. You know, that's why pickleball is cool. Yeah, pickleball is more casual. You can have conversation.
Starting point is 00:12:32 Tennis, you got to scream across the net to talk to the person. Yeah, I was soft spot for tennis, but I understand pickleball. I played tennis growing up when I was younger, but now I don't want to be sore the next day when I'm playing sports. Damn, I should have brought some paddles. We could have played it on this table.

Now, what's the engineering space looking like with AI coming in to take jobs? Are you scared of that neural networks and security so it's been fun now what's the engineering space looking like with ai coming in to take jobs are you scared of that no i think it's exciting i think um i think it'll i think it'll just complement the jobs right now like i think especially in my field i use it you know in in my day-to-day yeah i think i think jobs
Starting point is 00:13:23 it will replace some but it'll also open up new ones okay um what are you using it for right now um oh i use it like uh i use gpt sometimes so like when i'm writing like product so i'm a product manager yeah a software company and we build software for the federal government wow so um i will use gpt just sometimes if i want like formatting things like from an ai standpoint if i'm like oh i want to format this or um if i'm writing like a user story for like which is just like a feature that we want to build um i'll run it through there just to make sure i'm running through all the cases the edge cases got it got it but um i was on your linkedin so you interned at the united nations? Oh, yeah. That was hella fun.
Starting point is 00:14:05 Yeah. What goes on there? That was super fun. So I was interning on the United Nations, the peacekeeping team. So we were working on like peacekeeping missions. Yeah. And it's so cool. The New York office is so cool because they have like all these iconic rooms and buildings
Starting point is 00:14:18 and all these cool people from all the different places in the world. Interesting. So peacekeeping mission, what does that look like? Are you sending in people to rescue people yeah it's essentially like people who are there like working on initiatives that help build peace so whether that's like setting up infrastructure or like giving aid there or like establishing like um just like it's like positive infrastructure and support so they're all across i think there's like 12 plus across the world and stuff. So yeah. So you believe in world peace? Yeah, I do. I strive for it. If only, right?
Starting point is 00:14:50 I know, man. I know. I know. War brings in a lot of money. Yeah, that's true. That's true. Yeah. Yeah. Economies start booming after war. So from a business point of view, I get it. But morally, it's yeah, it's messed up. Yeah. There's a lot of it going on right now. I know, man. I know. It's sad. Yeah, working out at the UN must be stressful right now. Yeah, I just – I haven't – I think I did it a year ago. But the thing was every time – it's very intense because I think a lot of it's reactionary, right, to what's happening in the world.
Starting point is 00:15:19 And so, yeah, you're right. But it's very cool because the work they do is so cool. Absolutely. Yeah. What are you aiming for tonight in poker? You want to win this thing? I just don't want to be last. Okay. So, you're right. But it's very cool because the work they do is so cool. Absolutely. Yeah. What are you aiming for tonight in poker? You want to win this thing? I just don't want to be last. Okay.
Starting point is 00:15:28 So, you know. Just play tight then. Yeah. Someone was telling me just fold. Shoe fold. No, if you just fold every hand, you won't get last. Because someone's going to go all in within the first five hands. Really?
Starting point is 00:15:40 Yeah, because we have nine people at every table. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So this is my first tournament, poker tournament. I'm just hoping it's not my last. Okay. So I don't play so bad. You're right. Because if people at every table. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So this is my first tournament, poker tournament. I'm just hoping it's not my last. Okay. So I don't play so bad. You're right, because if I fold every hand, I will survive. Yeah, I mean, for a certain degree.
Starting point is 00:15:52 But I deplete every time, though, right? You deplete every big blind and small blind. But you would last maybe— Should I fold and just take the cash and run? Nah. I'm joking, I'm joking. 50 grand's a lot. I'm joking.
Starting point is 00:16:02 Oh, it's 50 to win? Yeah, I think 50k. Or is it 25? I didn't even know 25. This is huge. 50 grand's a lot. I'm joking. Oh, it's 50 to win? Yeah, I think 50K. Or is it 25? I didn't even know 25. This is huge. Could be life-changing money, man. Yo, I should have watched more YouTube videos. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:12 No, for a college student, that's big-time money, right? That's huge. Okay, so I'm going to, yeah, full. Oh, yeah, I'll play, like, fiscally smart. Okay. After you graduate, what's the plan? You got one more year, right? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:24 It's part-time, so it, so it complements the work I do. But right now I'm in government tech, so I want to stay in there. Yeah, man, everything's been rocking. Nice. You're a big supporter of the government? Yeah, I think right now software is such a good enabler to improve processes and efficiencies within the government that can help so many people so i think i think tech is such a great way that
Starting point is 00:16:50 the government can be utilized yeah where do you think the u.s ranks in terms of tech infrastructure compared to other countries that's a great question i'm not sure i don't know a lot about the tech space uh i think the tech companies here are really honestly top tier like i think they are i don't know i would say top five at least in the world. China's got to be up there. China's up there for sure. Yeah. Because our banking system is pretty outdated, I'd say.
Starting point is 00:17:12 Just from a consumer point of view. Yeah. Like to send a wire, it takes like five days international. Yeah. I think there's things that can be. Crypto? Oh, yeah. You big on crypto?
Starting point is 00:17:22 I think crypto's fun. Like the idea of it. I don't know. To be honest, I don't understand crypto. Okay. There was one. Yeah. I mean, it's fun, though.
Starting point is 00:17:31 I think it's cool. It's new, so. Yeah. Are you crypto? I am. Oh, nice. Yeah. But a lot of it's timing.
Starting point is 00:17:37 Yeah. If you're getting it now, it's pretty tough. I know. I know. It's serious money. The thing is, I was taught, like, I heard about bitcoin before it got big so it's like one of those things where oh my god i did kind of know about it yeah i should have every town had that one bitcoin nerd or whatever mining it back then that got bullied and now they're multi-millionaire
Starting point is 00:17:56 the ones i feel bad for are the ones that actually had a lot of it and couldn't access it i feel so bad much love yeah because if they could access it now, it'd be worth hundreds of millions. I know, they'd be set for life. Crazy, dude. You still talk to anyone from the circle? Yeah, we're all still super close. I'm actually going to see a lot of them. I'm going to see Joey tomorrow. We have this thing tomorrow in LA.
Starting point is 00:18:17 We're all still super close. For season six of the circle, they're throwing a wrap party, so a lot of us are going to be there. It's really cool. The community's dope. Joey won your season, won your season right he did yeah i remember that i was cheering for him because he was from jersey yeah joey's great but you were my second choice if it makes you feel better thanks yeah because you were like the underdog you know you were anti-social media you probably had a lot of haters um nope i mean people were super nice i think it comes with its territory a lot of it you know A lot of it was more towards my strategies.
Starting point is 00:18:48 People were like, oh, you shouldn't have blocked this person. It was bad for your game. But it comes with the territory. What was your strategy going into the game? Season one, I just felt like, you know what? I just want to be myself and just try to make friendships and genuine friendships. Because I feel like, imagine we're playing the game. If I feel like you're my homie and we have a natural bond,
Starting point is 00:19:08 then I feel like the strategy would just naturally come off that. Because if we vibe and we hang out, we have a good rapport, that's much stronger than me coming in the first sec and be like, dude, let's work together and take them all out. Because the friendship will dictate the strategy. So that's kind of what I try to be and just be myself. Interesting. Hopefully.
Starting point is 00:19:24 Did you run into anyone that was undercover last season oh like catfishes yeah catfishes yeah my one of my closest people rebecca my sister was actually my brother seber oh i found that out at the end but he was great yeah he was great so no no animosity for it no i thought it was super funny i thought it was funny how like i'm i called myself like shark shoe on the catfish hunter and my my closest person one of my closest people was a catfish i thought it was super funny I called myself Shark Shoeball and the Catfish Hunter. And my closest person, one of my closest people was a catfish. I thought it was super funny. That's funny. And then what was your strategy for season five?
Starting point is 00:19:50 Yo, season five was wild. You know, I came in late and I knew the game. I love the game so much. I knew coming late, my chances of winning could be tough because I come in late. I see that the originals have such a tight bond. Yeah. And they're so close. And I'm thinking, you you know if i get close
Starting point is 00:20:07 with them the best i'm gonna get is fourth or fifth so the only way i'm gonna win is i'm doing the math and i'm like yo there's five newbies and four originals so i said viva la revolution the newbie should stick together all five of us could theoretically take the final five yeah and one of us would win wow instead of one of us sucking up to the originals and we would get one spot in the fifth and you get fifth place right so that was my pitch it was close but it didn't work and then i got i love it so how does it work when you come in late is that planned or you you don't know what the order is you don't know so i came in late but it was super fun got it because they add people like halfway through the season right yeah yeah they add people all throughout the game. Got it.
Starting point is 00:20:46 Any other plans for shows you want to go on? Hey, more the merrier. Would you ever go on Survivor? Oh, I love Survivor. Yeah. That's my favorite reality show. Are you watching this season? Not this one. I watched the last one. Oh, the last one was good. My boy Austin got betrayed. Oh my god. He was so close to winning, dude. He folded. He simped.
Starting point is 00:21:02 Oh, for D? Yeah. D was a great winner. I was like, Austin, my man. He was so close. Nah, he simped, man. He folded. He simped. Oh, for D? Yeah. D was a great winner. I was like, Austin, my man. He was so close. Nah, he simped, man. Did he? Oh, you're right. Oh, yeah. He was so close because he got votes in the final also. He got three votes. Yeah, it was five to three, I think.
Starting point is 00:21:18 It was close. Sorry for people who are spoiling it. I know. I think, yeah, I love Austin. Austin played an incredible game. He was so close to winning. Survivor and Amazing Race. I would go on both of those. Oh, you could kill both. You should.
Starting point is 00:21:30 Survivor, I'm a little worried just because it's 40 days. No, it got reduced now. Oh, it got reduced? It's like 20 something. Okay, that's more doable. You should do it. Because 40 days, you're going to lose probably 20 pounds. I know.
Starting point is 00:21:40 And you're going to lose a lot of business if you have a job. Yeah. Big Brother is like 90 days under. What? 90 days? Damn. Would you go on Naked and Afraid? I would watch that.
