I get that every single day. Rudy, why the red? Why the reds? Well, here's the story that I've never shared in full before. Here's how it began. Here's where it led to. And here's the story that i've never shared in full before here's how it began here's where it led to and here's what it means going forward for you and hopefully how it's going to be a vehicle to help change millions of people's lives around the world that want to create freedom that want to create their dream life that want to break out from the norm they want to go and live in wonderland and they want to defy what life means they want to live a

Starting point is 00:01:25 life of freedom a life of power a life of empowerment where they make their own decisions they get to give back they get to help change the world and they get to build a wonderful life that they cherish and they're proud of for not only them but their family and all their friends followers and people that they're impacting so how how did the red life begin? Well, it started simple like most things in life. And that's what I teach when I teach marketing. I teach branding. I'm like, look, you don't have to have the whole plan figured out. And most of you aren't successful right now. And you're not where you want to be because you're spending so long on trying to figure out the plan instead of just getting started. And I just get started and look

Starting point is 00:02:03 where I am today, right? Pretty successful 31. If you don't know who I am, build a big multi-million dollar business at 26 years old. I moved to America, became a millionaire at 26, went on, built multiple multi-seven figure businesses, became partners with people like Tai Lopez, Mike Tyson, Floyd Mayweather, Jordan Belfort from the Wolf of Wall Street movie, and so on. And I've been able to do all of that because I believe in myself, because I take a step forward every single day, and because I live the red life. And that's what this podcast and this episode is all about, and how you can start today to live the red life, to change your life, okay? So where did it begin?

Starting point is 00:02:47 Well, as said, I moved to America and I knew I wanted to be different. I spent my entire life being different. Now it's not easy being different, right? When you're different, you're an outlier. When you're different, everyone looks at you. When you're different as a child, people pick on you, right? Because people don't like what they don't understand and you've got to realize people don't like

Starting point is 00:03:04 what they can't do. It becomes've got to realize people don't like what they can't do. It becomes, it turns into jealousy, right? So I was different my entire life. I was buying and selling in school. I was almost banned from selling multiple times in school. I was selling so much. I learned the power of the internet and I got my first dose about 20 years ago now. I was buying and selling on eBay about 10 11 years old eBay just started PayPal just started I had a you know big box computer I remember it and it was took about seven minutes to turn on I had to convince my dad to put his debit or credit card in and make me a PayPal and

Starting point is 00:03:39 make me an eBay account I wasn't 18 and I was buying and selling games and learning the power of the internet I was't 18. And I was buying and selling games and learning the power of the internet. I was selling stuff online. And I actually learned the copywriting skill. If you don't know what copywriting is, it's like wordsmith. If you see advertisements and the big headlines and the funny stories they tell and the funny, cool viral ads, that's normally a copywriter. And it's a super valuable skill if you want to make money online. So it got me better at online marketing, copywriting, because I learned how to position the headlines, how to price stuff effectively, how to find viral trends, the best selling products. And I was selling games and

Starting point is 00:04:15 stuff as a kid. And that led to a big online gaming community that I built. I had people under me. I had teams, I had cohorts, I had a massive community that I was in charge of managing, building servers and stuff like that. And then I transitioned into fitness. So fitness was a big part of my life. If you don't know me, my mom was a gold medalist in triathlon, which is a sport where you swim, bike and run, free sports. And then my dad was the Great Britain team manager at multiple Olympic Games managing the triathlon team. So I grew up traveling the world to Olympic events or world triathlon races, hanging out with all the Olympians. And that's a big part of my story, too, which I'll get into a big part of my mindset behind success and the winner's mindset.

Starting point is 00:04:59 And we'll talk about that later. But traveled the world brought up in fitness but i understood because my parents didn't have money they were world class in what they did but triathlon's not a wealthy sport even today 20 years on it's not a wealthy sport so they didn't have much money because they were always training they weren't working and they were getting you know little sponsorships and government funding but tiny amounts right, right? So I saw that, hey, you need money for everything. Money is a vehicle, money is power, money is freedom, money is flexibility, money is security. So I think that combined with the elitism

Starting point is 00:05:35 and the drive that I saw in Olympic athletes and the commitment to their craft got me to where I am today. It got me the money side plus the drive, the competitiveness, the winning mentality plus the drive, the competitiveness, the winning mentality and the work ethic of triathlon, which is you're basically training for free sports. You swim every day, bike nearly every day and you run nearly every day. You're training for free sports and your world class are all free of them. So that's kind of my childhood,

Starting point is 00:06:01 my upbringing, got into fitness at 18. And I actually used my skills of websites and online marketing to build a website and get ranked one up for SEO in my city. So when people would search personal training in my city, which was called Leicester, like Tampa now where I live, you know, imagine someone searches personal training in Tampa. I was right at the top as an 18 year old. So I was getting inbound leads. I was doing sales calls at 18 years old. I didn't know what they were at the time, right? I took a phone call, but it was a sales call, right? And selling people on big packages back then in England, you know, $500,000 packages as an 18 year old. Bear in mind, as an 18 year old in the UK, you're earning $1,000 a month, right? Minimum wage, like $7, $8 an hour back then, 10 years, 12 years ago. So I was earning, you know, sometimes selling packages that were like

Starting point is 00:06:50 the monthly wage of what I was earning as a gym instructor as I was building that business. So anyway, long story short, my work ethic stayed true. My hustle stayed true. I ended up working in two different gyms, a bar and my own personal training on the side from my website. And, you know, I was earning a few thousand a month. And I was still going out partying, being an 18-year-old. And I was helping promote nightclub events, learning that side of it, sales promotion, running nightclub event promos on Facebook. So, again, using all my skills online, all my skills as a marketer, a copywriter, a salesman, even though I didn't know what it was at the time. And then I was also had the drive element, the element of

Starting point is 00:07:32 training for free sports. I was working free jobs, right? I was working at 6am in one gym till 2pm, going at 2pm and then till like 8, 9, 10 p.m. in another gym and three nights a week I was then going to a bar and working from like 9, 10 p.m. till 1 a.m. just because I wanted to work, I wanted the hustle and I was like, I'm already going, me and all my friends are going to the nightclubs, I might as well go there some nights and work and then I get free drinks and free entry for the rest of the year, right? So I had that hustle and I had that consistent commitment, right? And I had that ability most importantly to say no, right? Because everyone else was like, why are you working so much? Come hang out. Let's go here. Let's go here. Let's go here. I'm like, can't working. I can't working. I can't. I'm working. I can't. I'm working. I don't want to

Starting point is 00:08:16 do that. I want to save money. I want to save money. I want to save money because I was building something. Then I was reinvesting all that money into two things. I was saving for real estate, which I figured out at 18. I actually bought my first rental property with my mom down at a beach town in England at 18. And I saw the power of real estate and I saw the passive income that it would generate. And then I also realized, hey, I can do this by myself. I don't have to do it with my mom. And she wasn't a realtor at all. This was her first purchase. And it was actually a house she retired in and now lives in. And so I kept saving, hustling, and I was saving thousands of dollars, right? Over one summer, I think I saved $7,000 in like two months, which as a 20 year old, there's a lot of money. Plus I was still obviously spending and living a decent lifestyle, right? So saving that money, reinvesting it. I was doing a lot of professional development. I was traveling around the UK, taking personal training courses, learning from salespeople, top personal trainers, how to get better there at the same time. And I was paying $2,000, $3,000, $1,000. Most people wouldn't do that, right? As a 19, 20 year old, or they'd ask their

Starting point is 00:09:25 parents to pay. But I knew I would get an ROI on that investment, right? That's education, that's mentorship. And now people pay me hundreds of thousands of dollars. We literally have a business that does about $10 million a year in coaching and education. And I was a student before I was a teacher, right? 12 years ago. I was saving for my second house. I went off to college at about 20 years old after a couple of years working full-time because I thought, hey, I can still work while at college. I want that once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Starting point is 00:09:57 And I also want, I think, the science education part in the fitness world would give me a unique selling point. It'd be a good angle and hook versus being a personal trainer. I'd become a sports scientist. So I went off to college an hour away in a place called Nottingham. Most of you know it from Robin Hood, right? In the middle of England where I was born in Leicester. And I, you know, kept my personal training business. So I moved up. I was a student, I got a job in a gym

Starting point is 00:10:25 there, a local gym there, personal training, and I was still traveling an hour down south back to serve my old clients. I kept my top 20% of clients that paid me the most and were reliable. It's the 80-20 rule. Didn't know what it was at the time, but I figured it out. And I was, so I was traveling back and I remember I'd be studying in the day working at the other personal training gym locally and then I would travel back at like 4 p.m I would drive an hour personal training free clients and it was worth it because they'd pay me like 50 an hour each finish at 9 p.m and then I would drive back and go straight to the nightclub at 10 p.m where all my friends were and then I would party with them as a first,

Starting point is 00:11:05 you know, fresher or freshman. And I would party with them for four hours, go to sleep at 2 a.m., wake up at 6, 7 a.m., go back to the first gym, then to class, and then some nights again back down. And then I would repeat that five nights a week. Right. And again, it's, you know, this continued trend throughout my childhood and my early years of working hard, having fun, enjoying myself because I think life's precious and I still think you should have fun along the way, right? And you can't relive your 18, 19, 20 years old. And I had a lot of fun, made a lot of great friends, a lot of great memories, but I was also way more successful than anyone else. I remember in my first year as a college

Starting point is 00:11:45 student, 20 years old, I was almost making 10,000 pounds a month. So I was making probably $10,000 a month. So I'd making $10,000 a month, which was about 8,000 pounds. And I was planning where I was taking it. So I was, and I was leveraging debt. So as a student, you got the ability to take out student loans interest-free. Now, I didn't learn this from YouTube or books back then. This was 13 years ago. I just figured out like, well, I can take this money for free. I don't have to pay it back yet.

Starting point is 00:12:15 I don't have any interest. And I can use this plus my savings to buy another house. And then every year I get this student debt again. I get to take more out. And I can use that plus whatever I earn over this year to buy another house and another house. And I did that. I bought a student house in my first year that I then had moved in with my three best friends, rented out individual rooms. So I was getting 400% more than that house was renting for before to a local family because I divided the rooms. I funded it through my savings from

Starting point is 00:12:45 working free jobs and personal training plus my student loan because I needed 50,000 US dollars to buy that first house as a 20 year old. And I got, you know, I didn't get parents weren't buying things for me, blah, blah, blah. And then I did. I took all that money in the earnings. And instead of going, oh, I'm going to quit the personal training now and live off the earnings of the house which I could have done because it was like over about a thousand two thousand dollars a month almost so that's like more than there's like the average wage in the UK almost way more than the students were living on but no I kept that money put it straight in a savings account kept working free jobs being a student and then I combine the earnings again, plus the earnings from the house, right? So the next year buy another house. I went even bigger. I bought a

Starting point is 00:13:29 five bedroom house before I bought a three and a half, but three bedroom and converted a room, made it a four bed. So now I buy a five bedroom house, um, in the same city, a different campus, rented that out. That's still my best house to this day, actually that second one. And I, cause I learned a lot of mistakes in the first one I overpaid I should have bought a house I could have converted more rooms same effort and energy to manage a three bedroom house versus a five or six so I learned a lot of mistakes in that first one that's experience right and obviously there weren't masterminds back then I couldn't get in a student rental Airbnb mastermind 12 years ago in England to get told, hey, this is the type of house you want. These are the laws. There was regulations.

Starting point is 00:14:09 I had to register with the government and everything and something called a HMO license with the local council. I had 150 things that had to be inspected for health and safety because it was a student house. I had to figure all that out. But I also learned, hey, I can pay experts. I paid a plumbing expert, a building expert, a fire marshal to come in and help me build all these checklists and make it up to regs, right? So I did learn the power of investing and obviously paying for expertise, right? And anyway, so that's the story in the UK, basically, right? Did that for a few years. But then I realized, hey, I want to be a multi-millionaire. I want to go really big. I want to go bigger than what is happening here because I was already on track. Like I'm like, I'm going to be hopefully a

Starting point is 00:14:54 millionaire soon, but there wasn't like billionaires there, right? Like I remember vividly that my idea of success was a couple of million dollars, a Range Rover, a nice, maybe million dollar house, right? Like that was like, wow, you've made it. You're the top dog, right? And I'm like, that isn't that impressive, right? Like that isn't the top dog, right? And you come out here and it's like half the people, that's a normal doctor's or normal life out here, right? Range Rover, nice house, maybe a million dollars. That's an upper class, you know, that's an upper class life out here, which half the, you know, half the billionaires, Grant Cardone and people tell you that's poor, right? 400 grand a year, that's poor still, right? So I kind of had that inside of me and I kind of knew that. And I think, you know, part of that was

Starting point is 00:15:40 from like my childhood and like my commitment to excellence. And hey, I don't want to, you know, my mom and parents, they were like, I don't want to just be a good triathlete. I want to be the best in the world kind of triathlete, right? So that was came up in me like, I don't want to be a millionaire. I want to be the biggest millionaire there is, right? Which is called billionaire these days, right? In fact, then I didn't know how many millions and billions of stuff, right? So anyway, I was like, I got to get to America. Got to get to America. I came to America a few times as a teenager. I was like, you know, online.

Starting point is 00:16:11 I was like 22 now. Online stuff was starting to boom. They became these kind of experts and gurus on Facebook. And I was following them. And I'm like, got to get, they're all in America. Got to get to America. So I start getting the final year. And I tell them, I'm moving to America when I graduate, I'm going to do a master's degree out there

Starting point is 00:16:28 because it's very hard to get a visa, right? So I move out to America. I, you know, I apply, I come out to Tampa where I am now just randomly for a week to check it all out. I email the professor, cold email, keep following up. He's like, sure, we've got a big event in February. Why don't you come to the event, buy a ticket, and then you can come hamming out in the lab and the university for the week. This was still in sports science, a master's degree. And I'm like, let's do it. And I booked my flight, 22 years old, gone on a flight by myself, first time traveling by myself like that to America, got a hotel. And I remember I, this was the final year I told my, you know, friends, family, partner at the time, I'm moving to America. They didn't really kind of believe it,

Starting point is 00:17:10 but whatever. So I went out there for the week and I remember getting, it was called the Barrymore. It's a hotel in Tampa on the river. If any of you ever been to Tampa, it's got a nice river through it and then it goes into the bay. And I remember getting a hotel that was right by the university I could walk to it and I remember I got in late on a Sunday night 5 p.m went to the hotel there was nothing downtown which was super weird for me because I went to try and get food because in the UK everything's downtown right all the like they don't have malls in the UK they have all the malls like the shops are downtown in the streets so I'm like this is a ghost town it's like homeless people and a domino's pizza so I still remember I got a Domino's pizza and like, there's like four homeless people. I'm like, this is weird. But anyway, whatever. Went to bed, woke up at like

Starting point is 00:17:54 5am because I was jet lagged and I pull my curtains open and this is the hotel on the river. And I see these people kayak, rowing, right? The rowing club, University of Tampa rowing club. And one of the students I actually rented to that was in my class, she was a rower. And I always used to speak to her about rowing because she'd get up at 5 a.m. and it was cold and dark in the UK and she had to wear two pairs of gloves because it was so cold rowing on the river in Nottingham

Starting point is 00:18:19 where I was in the UK that it was miserable. And then I wake up, pull the curtains open, the sun's rising over the river and these rowers are out there in February, right? Which is super cold in the UK, like New York. And they're rowing in a tank top, right? Or what we call in the UK, a vest, right? And I'm like, this is it. This is the life, right? This is the red life, right? The gray life was back in the UK. The gray life, this is the red life. I knew at that moment, this is it. And I got up, you know, got up, got going, walked over to the campus, walked along the river, across a bridge, in a t-shirt, sweating, right? In February,

Starting point is 00:18:58 like palm trees everywhere. I get into the student campus. There's a massive swimming pool, right? People are out there swimming in the sun. People are running on the bay and blah. I'm like, this is it. This is the red life. And in that moment, I knew that the only way I could do this is because I had money. No one else, unless they got money from their parents, could have done what I did. They couldn't. To just go and be a student in year one, you had to show $20,000, I think, in your bank account because you had to show proof of funds to pay for the year and proof of had to show $20,000, I think, in your bank account because you had to show proof of funds to pay for the year and proof of funds to live there because you weren't allowed to work. And I'm like, this is the power of money. I'm here today. I took a flight. I had to buy like

Starting point is 00:19:34 a $2,000 conference ticket, hotel and flight. It's probably like $4,000. As a student, I'm like, unless you had rich parents, which I didn't, this is the power of money. This opportunity, just being here is the power of money, right. And the power of freedom that money gives. And so here I was. And anyway, long story short, it was an amazing week. Made a lot of friends, hanged around the campus. It was like this spring break vibe out of a movie that you see in the UK. Right. It's like everyone's in bikinis around the campus at the pools and stuff. And it's like a normal week. And I'm like, this is the life. What am I doing in the gray life? I want to be in the red life. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a second.

So let's get back into the episode. I appreciate you guys and let's dive back in. So anyway, I move out here and this is the start of everything, right? It's the start of my journey to become a millionaire within a couple of years. I helped my professor build like a million dollar business in the first year because he was a big influencer. I then graduate, get an extended business visa. That was a lot of work, cost me $7,000, which again, I needed money to fund, right? Which I had from all my real estate back in the UK. And then boom, after 18 months, I built a million dollar business of myself, right? And I

Starting point is 00:22:06 remember I was working 18 hours a day. I was hustling. I was grinding. I was spending thousands a day on Facebook ads when most people wouldn't take the risk. But I kept investing in myself. I had my houses in the UK cash flowing for me. They are still there to this day. Some of them have doubled in value while cash flow in 10, 20, $30,000 a year for me. And the journey began, right? I became a millionaire. I learned, I took my online marketing basic skills that I already had from the UK from all those years and became an expert.

Starting point is 00:22:36 I studied all day, every day, did every podcast. I did every book. I did every course. I started traveling to events in the US and I became an expert and I was learning these skills from all the courses, podcasts, books and applying them into my own business instantly. I wasn't learning them and going, this is cool. I was learning them, closing the course

Starting point is 00:22:56 or the podcast for an hour, going in the ad manager and on the website and doing it and then doing another course and a book. Say, what's next, right? And I was applying, I was getting mentorship mentorship I was learning from other millionaires in Tampa that I was helping I was adding value to them working with them and they were helping me mentoring me and then voila here I am right so I transitioned out of fitness from the fitness world I was like I got up to a few million dollars a year, 15, 20 staff

Starting point is 00:23:25 selling thousands and thousands of courses, programs, bikini plans, ab workouts, recipe books, graduated, right? I was a sports scientist, got up in my space, started collaborating with the big pro bodybuilders, pro athletes doing rev share deals with them. And it just compounded, right? But you've got to understand the last 15 minutes of that story led up to those compounding moments, right? All the risks, all the sacrifice, figuring out how to buy houses at 19, 20 years old, 18 years old, working three jobs. That put me those four or five years when I sacrificed more than anyone I knew, they put me in a position to then start having this compounding success, right? And, you know, I did the fitness stuff for a while, got into mark, got really, really good at marketing. And that's where my agency

Starting point is 00:24:16 formed. So I'm like, I like the fitness, but I like the business marketing entrepreneurship side more. And I started the agency, which is called ROI Machines. It's about five years old now. It's still alive to this day. I stepped out of it three years ago. So I did about two and a half years, three years in it. And then about two and a half, three years ago, I stepped out and it's still a multi-million dollar business to this day. And it's a done for you agency. So done for you marketing where we come in and we do the ads and we do the funnels and we do the strategy and we do the landing page and we do the emails right we do the video ads and the videos so we kind of took all the skills I had built for 10

Starting point is 00:24:54 years and the same team that did it with me in my fitness life we took that and then we applied it to hundreds of businesses so not only did that make me way better, it made me well known because I was doing this for hundreds of businesses. That then led to a partnership with Tai Lopez on an agency. If you know who he is, a massive influencer, he then went on a journey after a year or so doing that with me and all of his stuff. He was going to buy big US brands, which I became a part of there. Got a crazy experience and mentorship from him and Alex Mayer, his main partner on them all, which helped change my life and take me to another level again. But most importantly, made me think bigger. It made me think bigger, right? Because I went from

Starting point is 00:25:36 a few million dollars to working with people like Ty that were doing tens, if not hundreds of millions, and then trying to become billionaires buying big billion dollar US brands. So not only did I get key skills and mentorship from them and experience managing big teams and big ad budgets and big marketing campaigns, but I got the vision part, right? I got like, I knew I wanted to be something big and special. I knew I wanted to be more than a millionaire, but I didn't see how you go to a billionaire level until I saw that, right? So obviously a big part of my life, as you can tell, is mentorship and being with the right people, but sacrificing to do it. I literally left everything

Starting point is 00:26:17 in the UK, family, friends, long-term girlfriend, houses, real estate, personal training business that was pretty good at the time. I left everything to start again because I invested in myself. I believed in myself and I knew this was going to take me to the next level. And I was actually with Grant Cardone on a podcast, one you'll probably hear very soon, or you could go listen to after this, or will be coming out soon. And you'll see, he says every time he moved, moved he it took his life to the next level right so it was the same for me there and it was an amazing experience and you know my agency still does well we now obviously have more capital on the red life two brands where we have celebrity partnerships people like mike tyson floyd mayweather we have a massive coaching program nearly 100 staff and

Starting point is 00:27:03 employees in the office here in Clearwater, Tampa, Florida. We have 50 staff go into 100 next year. And all of this is compounded and it compounds every year. So every year, it's kind of like if you see a graph, it's like you go 100K, 200K, 400K, 800K, 1.6 million. And that's five years. It's not that impressive, right? 1.6 million is still good. Don't get me wrong. But that's like five years. It's not that impressive, right? 1.6 million still good. Don't get me wrong, but that's like five years. And it's like, meh, I made in one of my businesses this last month, I made 1.2 million, which is almost the same amount as that five year progression.

Starting point is 00:27:37 Right? So you got to see it compounds, right? Cause then it goes 1.6 and it's like, meh, that's okay. 3.2 million. Meh, it's okay. It's pretty good for most people, right? You know, 3.2, 6.4 million. Okay. We're getting better. Okay. 12 million. Okay. Now I'm getting interested. Eight figures, right? Oh, 24 million. Oh, 50 million. Oh, 100 million. That's now like what? 10 year mark, nine year mark. And then it's like, oh, 200 million. Okay. Now we're really talking, right? It's billionaire level almost when you've got a 200 million annual revenue business, right? It's a billion dollar valuation maybe if it's the right company. Oh, 400 million next year. Oh, 800 million. Oh, 1.6 billion. So you see in the last five years of that 15 year example, 90% of the success occurred, right? And if you're listening to this today, part of the red

Starting point is 00:28:25 life is that commitment to success the commitment to excellence the commitment to building a life outside the norm and living in wonderland but it ain't gonna happen overnight didn't happen overnight for me didn't happen overnight for elon musk didn't happen overnight for grant cardone didn't happen overnight for ty lopez ty was selling online for 20, 15, 20 years to build the social influence, impact, credibility to go and raise all that money to buy X billion dollar brands, right? So every one of us, every single one of us, and of course, they're all more successful than me right now. But all of us in this scenario have spent 10 years to become the overnight successes that we are seeing as today. So for you, if you want to

Starting point is 00:29:06 live the red life, you want to build a life of your dreams, know you've got to go through that process. And if you've not started already, the very best time to start is tomorrow, right? Or today. And if you don't start that process, you'll never get to the good side. You'll never get to the red life, the compounding success, the life outside the norms, the life where money doesn't influence you, right? Like all of us, money is a massive driver, but it doesn't influence us in a way of like, I can live wherever I want, right? My rent right now, because I wanted to live in this cool penthouse on the oceans, 12 grand a month, right? I didn't, but it's like, sure, that's a lot of money. That's more than like an upper class person earns in a year after taxes. And that's a lot of money. That's more than like an upper class person earns in a year after taxes.

Starting point is 00:29:46 And that's just my rent. It doesn't include my cars, my jet skis, all my other expenses, my date, my monthly outgoings are probably $20,000 a month. And I don't say that to brag. I say that so you can understand that that's given me a good lifestyle and I've built a business where I can support that. so money doesn't control me, right? Because I can do all of that without it controlling me because of the 10 years in the journey to get there, right? And the biggest thing that a lot of you'll face is you'll want to quit or you'll pivot too much in those first 10 years, right? But living the red life, you know, that's why I call it the red life because it's a life, L-I-F-E. It's a commitment,

Starting point is 00:30:26 right? It's not the red year. It's not the red day. It's not the red 48 hours. It's not the red ad, right? Because it's not one thing. It's a life. It's a commitment, right? It's a commitment to excellence. It's a commitment to how you live your life every single day, whether that's you becoming a world-class athlete, a world-class father, right? A whether that's you becoming a world-class athlete, a world-class father, right? A world-class mother, a world-class husband or wife, right? And a spouse, right? And a supporter, a world-class business owner, right?

Starting point is 00:30:58 A world-class inventor, a world-class artist or actor, right? But it's taking that commitment and it's taking the decision, making the decision today to live the red life and live outside the norm, right? And to finalize today, where did the red come from? Well, you've heard the story, you've heard the up and coming, you've heard the journey through my red life, right? From the gray life to the red life. And then it's like, well, where did it come from? Well, I knew that the online space because of my 10, 12 years of marketing, grabbing attention, holding attention means everything, right? It's the new way to become rich. If you can grab attention,

Starting point is 00:31:30 hold attention, create attention, you can sell stuff online and make a ton of money. It's the new way to become rich in my opinion. And then I'm like, I wanted something that was meaningful, right? So the red life is a play on taking the red pill, building a life of your dreams, defining the norm, stepping out of the norm, leaving the gray life behind and living the red life, right? And building a life for yourself that most people will think is crazy. Most people think is wonderland that doesn't exist, but it does exist. And there's a small 0.1% of the population that live it right now. And you can live it right now if you make the decision today to change, a decision today to live the red life, to live in excellence, to live in wonderland and to be different from everyone else. So the red is a play on that. A red, red is the opposite of what everyone says to do with advertising and branding, right? It's different. It's warning. Most people think it's warning, right? It's eye-catching, right? It's different. It's warning. Most people think it's warning, right? It's eye catching, right? It's the opposite of what everyone says to do. And that's why I do it,

Starting point is 00:32:29 right? And most of the time I do the opposite of everyone else. There's many famous sayings that if everyone's going one way, you probably should go the other way, right? And Warren Buffett is very famous that when everyone's taking a bunch of risks, you probably should be cautious. And when everyone's contracting during recessions, you should probably take a ton of risks, you probably should be cautious. And when everyone's contracting during recessions, you should probably take a ton of risk and buy a ton of stuff because that's where the 0.1% thrive, grow and have exponential success, right? So the key is starting small, right? It's all the steps that led to the red life today. It's making the decision of starting the red brand and not knowing the exact steps to being this entire brand now that

Starting point is 00:33:05 thousands or millions of people know on social media. I fly to events. Everyone's like, they even know who I am. You're Rudy or you're the guy with all the red ads. Right. And it became this community, this tribe, this community of people that are trying to live the red life, trying to be different. And of course you can do that too. And I would love for you to be part of the right-minded people, the small 1% or 0.1% that are trying to build something that's special. Live in wonderland, define the norm, leave the gray behind, right? And take the red pill to build their dream life. And that's how the red life started.

Starting point is 00:33:39 That's my story. That's what we stand for. We stand for excellence. We stand for living the red life, taking the decision to be different and being proud of being different, not being afraid to show that we're different, being proud that we're trying to achieve what most people can't even fathom, that we're understanding that money equals energy and it equals a resource and power to live your dream life and that money can be made in large amounts through the internet and through all the tactics, the tricks, the marketing strategies, the systems, the side hustles,
