I have to live another 45 years
burning bridges with people.
That's a long ass time.
The one philosophy that I've learned,
and this is like something I learned
from like somebody I look up to in the industry,
life is very long and like never burn a bridge
because you never know how things are going
to circle back.
All right guys Noah Kara here today from the 60 for 60 with Noah show and he started off
with two bangers.
Yeah man.
Let's go.
Dana White and who was the other one?
Ryan Garcia.
Dude what a start.
So you wanted to come out the gate swinging.
Yeah man I mean I've been in the industry for probably,
I'd say like two and a half, three years.
And like, I don't know.
My personality is just like the type to like,
kind of like go big or go home.
So. Yeah.
Now some people. I was like, fuck it, man.
Might as well start off big.
It sucks because the expectation is crazy.
Now it's like, everyone's like, oh, who's the next guest?
And my following is not significant at all.
I'm just gonna say that like straight up.
I have only 2,500 followers on my Instagram,
probably like 180 subs on my YouTube.
But like the two guests that I have are like fucking insane.
So I don't know, man.
That's kind of like how my personality type is
like go big or go home.
I mean, the fact that you pulled off those names off rip is is a testament to something you're doing right though
Yeah, you know, that's not luck
That's not just like those people don't say yes to a lot of hard work man
A lot of grinding behind the scenes that people don't see a lot of fucking
sleepless nights stressed days stressful days
um, you know
This year has been a very like interesting
year for me personally and professionally. So I'm just glad
that I was able to kind of get those out. And then you know, I
have a lot more to come. I don't know if I want to do like so you
do weekly, right? Daily, you do daily. Holy fuck, dude, I drop
daily. I don't feel daily. But yeah, nuts. Because it's like, I
know, like, I've been in the business for a good amount of time to understand like the
Backend of like how like to stay consistent, but it's like for me. It's like alright
You should be weekly but doing daily is nuts, bro
Well, I stack my days so I'll film twice a week and I'll be good for the week. That's fire
Yeah, that's fire. You've been crushing it to by the way. Yeah, I guess I've been keeping up with your shit
But yeah for me, it's more of a passion thing.
It's a hobby.
So it's like, I just enjoy talking to interesting people,
even yourself.
So I'm just like, all right, let me just do this.
And it doesn't have to be weekly.
It doesn't have to be daily.
It doesn't have to be monthly.
It could be once a month, twice a month,
or even once every two months.
So it's like, it just depends on like who I can sit down
with and have an interesting conversation with.
Yeah. I mean, you built a great network in three years, dude.
That's impressive.
Dude, I know a few people that have been in this business
for like a decade and they haven't been able to fucking.
So what do you attribute that to?
Persistence, bro.
Yeah, that's it.
Like there's gotta be more to it.
Bro, fuck. Cause a lot of people work hard. Oh my God, bro. Yeah, that's it? There's got to be more to it.
Because a lot of people work hard.
Oh my god, bro.
It's like, you just got to think outside the box.
Just like always like connecting certain situations
to certain situations.
I know that sounds ridiculous because if this gets clipped.
But it's like just thinking outside the box
and thinking like, OK, how can I fucking connect this situation to this situation and like
fucking make something out of it so it's like being persistent thinking
differently like even right now like I have an interview lined up tomorrow
probably hopefully they don't flake on me but it's like it's with a UFC fighter
and I was like, you know what?
Let me try something new. I'm gonna fucking
Train with him as I'm interviewing. So it's like a different style of interviewing. You know what I'm saying?
So it's like always kind of just being creative in different ways
Connecting the dots and in ways that like people can't connect the dots
You know what I'm saying? So and just being persistent because a lot of people were shut their
Doors in this industry specifically, but it's really about like how bad you want it. You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, a lot of people are closed off though. I know you mean they're closed off the gatekeep they blackball
So it's like they'll tell you like oh, yeah, man. Let's do this and like the the next day
Like not not answer like, you know like ghost you but it's like you just got to keep going dude
Yeah, you got to keep going. I've been fucking ghosted so many times blackballed so many times. You got blackballed
So bro so many times. It's like people that like oh they say they fuck with you, but they don't fuck with you
And it's like it's all good. I mean, I don't take nothing personally. It's for me. It's like really just like
Just pushing through all that bullshit and making it big.
You kind of can take it personally these days.
You can't.
You got to separate the two.
You got to separate the two because it's like if you add emotion into it,
then you'll never be able to progress in your career, right?
And I don't burn bridges if I can avoid it.
It's impossible, bro.
Even if someone fucks you over, you cannot burn a bridge.
Exactly.
That's the one thing.
Because like...

connectsontario.ca like the one thing I learned about learn about life is like
people say life is very short but but like life is very long.
Like, yeah, it's a short life, but at the same time, it's like you live a very long time. So it's like, if you burn a bridge, think about it, right? Like the average lifespan, lifespan is probably like.
What 75, 75, 70, 75, 71 for men. I think 74 for woman. Okay, I'm 30 bro
So if I have to live another 45 years burning bridges with people like bro, that's a long ass time
Yeah, so it's like
The one philosophy that I've learned and this is like somebody something I learned from like somebody I look up to in the industry
I won't name his name, but he's pretty big time is that life is very long and like never burn a bridge because you never know how things
are going to circle back. Right. Plus your reputation follows you these days with social
media too. So it's like, but you've been crushing it, man. Tell me about yourself, dude. Your
audience knows about you, but I know a little bit about myself and we can cut this out
Yeah, no, it's cool though through the podcast. I've learned a lot about myself. Really? I did not know myself before the show
Yeah, a lot comes out when you're conversing with people on just life
Okay, so I would I don't what just like my health was at 27 right now. Okay. I'm 30
Okay, cool. My I thought my health was good
Okay My health was at, I'm 27 right now. Okay, I'm 30, okay cool. I thought my health was good.
It was terrible once I got some blood tests
from Gary Brekka.
Once I did some therapy,
once I did all these different healing sessions.
He's been on.
I told him he changed my life, yeah.
That's dope.
Yeah, all my levels were messed up.
Dude, get his tests.
Dude, I need to get my fucking viewership up
because it's like, it's harder to get guests
based off like, obviously I have a good network
but it's like, I can only get so many people. Yeah, I mean. What would you recommend? lie. I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to lie.
I'm not going to lie.
I'm not going to lie.
I'm not going to lie.
I'm not going to lie.
I'm not going to lie.
I'm not going to lie.
I'm not going to lie.
I'm not going to lie.
I'm not going to lie.
I'm not going to lie.
I'm not going to lie.
I'm not going to lie.
I'm not going to lie.
I'm not going to lie.
I'm not going to lie.
I'm not going to lie.
I'm not going to lie.
I'm not going to lie.
I'm not going to lie.
I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to lie. I'm might have to run some paid ads behind it, but. You think so? I mean, I do it.
Really?
Yeah.
In my head, okay, I'll just tell you,
I'll just be honest.
And like, I like to create genuine relationships.
So it's like, I'm not taking a shot at all.
If somebody has 11 million followers on the gram,
you gotta be fucking like,
an A-list celebrity.
I don't know.
Cause I run into people with more than me
and I don't even know them.
Really?
Yeah.
I feel like if you were like one, two million,
it's all right, you can get away with it,
but like 11, it's like, I have to know who that is.
But so explain to me, like, how does that work?
You've never heard of High Key Cloud
or those giveaway companies?
Jordan Lentz?
I've never heard of that, no.
So basically these celebrities post these iPhone giveaways or whatever they give away Chanel bags
Oh, I've seen that on like Scott dis sake in like yes
Kardashian has done it a hundred percent so they're like follow everyone. I'm following okay, so to get on that following list you have to pay
Someone okay, so you could do that and get millions of followers
But those are irrelevant because you want views and you want real fans
Doh so what impresses me more than followers is like engage your engagement what rank you are on Spotify?
So I haven't even started on Spotify yet. Oh, you should start dude, bro. You gotta help me out
You're not on Apple podcast yet. Nothing what I'm just doing straight YouTube dude. That's how you make money as a podcast
Yeah, but I'm not really doing this for the money. I'm just doing it because I fucking just love so you would do it
Even if you lost money
I'm doing it now, and I'm losing well. I lost money the first six months, but I wouldn't do that forever
It's not my primary business. I'm in restaurant development, okay, so my first restaurant opens in like three weeks
Restaurants are tough space. I lost my ass on restaurants like but you buy the land you build you've developed the land you build a restaurant
And then you operate the restaurant, so it's like oh, that's like I'm more safe
That's like my bread and butter at least like from it's my first ones opens in three weeks
So it's like I can't even say it's my bread and butter
But podcasting is just something that I'm Pat like I just love this space. I watch
Podcasts all day bro, like literally glued to my fucking phone or laptop. Yes, like watch study
Consistently like understanding what the culture is like it's just like I watch a ton of shows to passion. It's my what are your top shows?
Yeah, I don't really go based off his shows
It's more about the guests. But like if I were to name top shows obviously Theo Theo von
Jerry
Theo Von JRE
What's it called bad friends, okay Bobby Lee Bobby Lee and Santino like the comedy ones
Yeah, I like the more entertainment ones a flagrant. I love a lot because it's like entertainment mixed with like informative. Yeah, so it's like
And I love Schultz like he he's just fucking hilarious, hilarious. So is Theo.
Joe Rogan's obviously the GOAT. When it comes to this shit, we all wish we could be him.
He's modern day Oprah, I like to call it.
He paved the road for all of us to.
Bro, he's fucking.
The faster money and data move,
the further your business can go to a seamless digital future for Canadians.
Let's go faster forward together.
In life, interact.
Insane, dude.
That's one guy, I would be nervous to even sit cuz like I'm like he's so much smarter than me
I'm like I'll look like an idiot. I've had a couple of those guests where I felt really stupid really
Yeah, there's been a few do you research your guests a lot or yeah, you have to I think it's kind of disrespectful
If you don't know anything you got to know at least a little bit
I mean even though I do do a lot of reps. I got to find that balance
So it's like let's say somebody calls you for like an immediate show
I would be no but he DM me like and we did it like within an hour I gotta find that balance. So it's like, let's say somebody calls you for like an immediate show.
I would research.
No, but he DM'd me like, and we did it like within an hour,
but I still researched for an hour.
Really?
But he was like, yeah, I'll be there in like an hour.
Did you pay him?
No, why would I?
I've never paid a guest, why would I do that?
I wasn't sure.
People do that?
Some people do, I've never done it.
See, I don't- I want you to guess,
both of them are rich as fuck and they don't need the money.
I don't ever wanna do that cause then they're just gonna word of-of-mouth spread it and say all this kid pays people to come on
Yeah, we film the celebrity poker tournament after people get knocked out they just come in here help on the pod
Yeah, I fire I need to fucking get it set up like this cuz it's like it's super cool to like just have
This here cuz it's super convenient. You can just like, boom, exactly.
That's how I got hopped to a girl last time. Got Dwight Howard,
got a bunch of people, ads remain sterling.
That's dope. How do I get, how can I be a part of this?
Poker girl? I mean, I'll put you in touch, bro. I'm very giving with my network.
I'm not closed off as long as you're, you're good business and you don't scam and
shit. Yeah, I believe in karma. So yeah. I'm not closed off as long as you're good business and you don't scam and shit. Of course, 100%.
Yeah. 100%.
I believe in karma, so.
Yeah, I did on the same way.
I do good business.
Any other questions you have for me?
