actually like believe it or not like super antisocial um and just like such a introvert like bro all the videos that people see online like it's me by myself anyway so people just think i'm like a social person but it's like not bro like i'm making these videos by myself in my house like that i'm just like whatever just kind of like acting a fool yeah can i have one of those what is that of course is in yeah same shit it's a nine oh shit wow heavy duty Oh, yeah. And you've been in the game forever, bro. I mean, dude, like, you've, um, congrats too. Like, you, you've, you've, like, one of the strongest, like, personal brands that's

actually been able to, like, outlast for like, forever, bro. Like, you've been in this game for so long. Yeah. You make you feel super old. No, no, no, no. They sounded rude. No, no, no. No, it's, I appreciate that.

It's, I think it's just a change of content over time. time. And also I never like try to be anything other than who I actually was. Yeah, yeah. I think that's the key. Yeah. So you're like, because so many people end up like kind of falling off or maybe just quitting. Like what would you say is just like this secret just like to adapting and whatever like being able to stay well. It's like what I said. I started I started before it was sort of a, I mean, I don't want to make this interview about me. We're going to talk about you. But I started before it was a thing.

Like, I didn't know it was going to be a thing when I started. Like, I was just a trainer. And then, like, I kind of knew Instagram was going to be popular. So, like, YouTube was, like, was just sort of kicking off. But the thing that I started in was something that was really true to me. Like, I was just a bodybuilder. I just, like, working out. I had clients.

I was a trainer, basically. And, like, I was just showing that. So I wasn't trying to be something. I wasn't. I think nowadays, you know, there's people like you. And not to say that you're doing something that's not of you, but there's people like you and then people see you and they go, I want to do what TGR does or I want to do what Brad does or neon or any of these streamers, right?

Any of these people in general, any content creator, period. And they go, I'm going to do what this person is doing because there's that example. Right. I just didn't have an example. And I was what I loved, which was the gym. And then it turned into so much more that like everyone sees. it for what it is now and there's all these different ways to make money and people come into it going like oh i want to do that and make money doing that because i saw him do it but i didn't do it at all in the

beginning to make money it just started to come yeah so so now the transition like to what i'm doing now like the podcasting or just the more speaking content was also a part of me the whole time throughout i just got lucky that at one point i don't know if it's six seven years ago when i started doing the podcast that it was like i didn't even mean to do that fuck dude i didn't need to do that It was actually six or seven years ago. I was like, gave you the side eye because I was like, there's no way you did this on purpose. I did it.

I did it. And then it just became another popular thing at the time that I was able to like leverage my existing sort of popularity to go into. Yeah. So I, that's the key. The key is like picking something you actually genuinely care about. And then as you get older,

like you just start to care about other shit. And it's like, okay, what do you care about now? Like I'll get, I'll get all these comments because like, I'm on Twitter and I'm like, arguing people about politics shit because like I'm older now I guess that's what you do when you get

older but I genuinely care about that shit and it's just funny to see the reaction some people are like you stay in your lane fucking stupid bodybuilder and it's like they're just because they're mad they don't agree with me yeah yeah but it's like I could still have opinions on things that aren't of bodybuilding right just like you could have opinions on anything but the point is to answer your question is is you have to find something that you actually truly love and just keep trying to get better at it yeah like it sounds like that's what you've done like I mean, before you came in here, you said you had a place in Puerto Rico at 20, which is already crazy because it means you likely knew, okay, I'm going to make money. You were probably already making money if you were able to even buy that at such a young age.

Yeah. And then, okay, I'm going to like, you know, avoid the bullshit taxes that everyone else is getting fucked with. Congrats, by the way. I'm still getting fucked completely. Yeah, brother's places. It's the worst thing in the world. But it's also like we said earlier before in the pot, it's also where all the content. comes so it's easy for me to like stay here even though there's a lot of other reasons why I wouldn't necessarily want to stay here and like have a family here and raise a family here and be here like forever um but for you i'm curious like because crypto's i don't know when when you got into it

how new was it new bro's like 2016 so 20s so but but crypto been around well yeah so like crypto's been around for like ever you know or not for Not in my world forever. In your world forever. But yeah, I mean, when I was like a freshman in high school, that's really what got me into it. And so you were just in high school, you had no money. Yeah.

Or you had money? Like, what was your family? Like, you've come from money? Is it like a... I knew you were going to ask me this question. So I would love to get into this. I had to. I'm just trying to figure out.

No, of course. Yeah. So this is like backstory because everyone like, I mean, this is like whatever hot topic. So backstory. my great-grandparents, and I've talked about this on podcast before, but I guess people just like love to skip over it. So my great-grandparents, they started out as like just like homeschooling their kids. And then that turned into them creating a private school.

And that private school is actually a nonprofit. So there's no equity involved, can't take dividends, it's nonprofit. And grew it to be just this. And this was before Silicon Valley was like. even big, like way before the tech boom. So they just built a school in the heart of Silicon Valley. And then it kind of grew to be decently well-known private school where all of the tech founders send their kids

because the education is just really, really good. My dad, so that was his grandfather, took over this, or didn't take over the school, but runs the school now. and board of directors is just like the majority of my family members, but they do not get paid any money. The school is worth a lot of money, but it's a nonprofit.

You can look that up with public information. So, you know, like, I mean, I don't know if I'm allowed to say these numbers, but I probably shouldn't. But my dad gets paid the average salary of like, he literally, it's literally like forced upon him to be able. able to make the average salary of all other like headmasters of private schools within that area which is you know by all means like a pretty good salary but it there's there ain't no trust fund that's for sure um you know so you're not a trust fund kid no absolutely not if there was one you know

I'm still looking for it um you know I would still I would love to get a wire into my bank account or however that works but yeah I think that's like a big what I whatever big thing, like you guys can do your research. It's a nonprofit school. Like school's big and, you know, I went to school with some of, well, I guess not most well known, but like a lot of these tech founders, kids. So I was surrounded by families and kids who had way more wealth than me. So definitely opened my eyes to it. And I was exposed to it at a very young age. Like,

I think back to some of the shit that I was exposed to at a young age. And I just thought it was normal. Like when I'm eight years old, like walking around these houses that I just thought it's a regular house. But looking back, it's like, holy shit, this is a $50 million house,

you know? Yeah. That's like my friends are just living in. And it's like, oh, I'm going to like go on a play date with my friend. And it's just like, their house is cool,

but couldn't really process the level of wealth that I was exposing myself to at a young age. So that definitely, that helped me just being around it and opening my eyes up to it. But in terms of like me having a trust fund, non-existent. But it was, it's interesting because it's also probably what you thought, obviously like you said, what you thought was normal. Absolutely. Yeah. So then your, your mind as far as what you thought was possible for you was probably completely a lot, like a lot wider than like a sort of, I don't want to say you're not a normal person because you're

very normal. But most people are exposed to probably something a lot different. Yeah, it's kind of weird though because like growing again like that was my my normal, but I wasn't thinking like it was weird. I wasn't thinking like anything's possible like I can do whatever I want with my life. Um, because all like, bro, like I come from like a school background like my parents and my family are just like you go to school, you go to college. You get a nine to five. Like that's the route. that you take. Even though that's, does that the route they took? I mean, it must have been. Yeah, because bro, like my dad, everyone in my family went to school, went to college.

And then like that's how they ended up like where they're at. Like it's all like, that's how all like the old heads are like older generation. Like that was the method versus now it's like almost the opposite. So I was like there was a big issue with me. And my parents, when I was like going into college because I was like, one, I really don't want to do this. Two, I want to do trading and like online money like full time. And my dad runs a freaking school, you know? So imagine how he feels when his son is like, I don't want to do this.

I'm dropping out. Like it caused a lot of issues. And I didn't have the best relationship with my parents. for like a decent amount of time after leaving their house. And it was a bit of a disconnect for like several reasons, like the route that I was taking my life. And then also there was some like religion stuff involved. My entire family is like very, very religious.

And what religion? They're Mormon. And I actually think Mormons are some of the best people. You know, their values are super good. you know, don't drink, don't smoke. Like, there's really nothing for them to do besides start a family, have traditional values, and work their ass off. And so.

So can you ever heard of that? I have heard of that. But that's not like, there's so many misconceptions about Mormons. And see, this, like, I'm defending Mormons because, like, bro, like, I grew up in it and I know, know, like, all of these people. But, like, me personally, it's just, like, not the route that I take. Yeah. I'm religious, but it just didn't that, that, that, that, so are you Mormon?

No, no. Okay. I don't even know what I would label myself as. I'm like one of, bro, like literally everyone in my family is, uh, Mormon. So like that caused a lot of issue. And I'm like tatted, like tattoos aren't allowed in the Mormon culture. And then like when I went off to college, I was drinking, smoking. So like, bro, me, yeah, I had some issues with, uh, what's your religious.

You believe in God. Yes, yeah. There was like a decent small period of time like when I had that like breakup with my family that I kind of just like was fully like away from it. And then recently like over the past year I've been coming back to it and it's been great. I don't know what religion I would pin myself down on. It's just like I just want to have a good relationship with God. And I think that I'm not a big fan of like this is right and this is wrong or like my religion. right and all of these other religions are wrong. It's like, dude, if we can just like have a good relationship with God, like that's kind of all that matters. Just be a good person, you know? Yeah. No, I agree with that. And I'm not a fan really of organized religion. Yeah. In any sense, to be honest, no matter which one. I know a lot of people have a lot of opinions and perspectives on that differently, but I've just, I've had a hard time with it throughout my life as well. But, um, so you, you grew up in this like household, uh, at what point were you like,

I'm going to take this whole trading thing serious and you're like, I'm going to, did you, because like you had to start with some money to start. Like, how did you get your first money? Yeah. So I would do like at the school, we had like this thing. It was called like summer school. So I would be, it was like kind of like almost like a summer camp. So I would be like, uh, It was like sports camp counselor. Like the PE teachers would find like people that were in high school. And they would be like the summer camp counselors for this like two week long summer camp. So I would be there and like didn't get paid much at all.

But that was how I was making money. And then summer school I was like PE teacher for like kindergarten and like second graders. Yeah. What was your first? What was your first big investment? Bitcoin. Bitcoin. What year?

2016. Do you remember what it was at that point? Bro, it was very little like a couple thousand bucks. Do you remember how much it was? What it was like. Now how much you put into it? Oh, bro, like only a couple thousand. Yeah.

Yeah. What made you think Bitcoin was going to be? Because obviously now that's like number one. That's like top dog. Yeah. I mean, it's kind of, everything's a little fucked right now. Yeah, yeah. talk about but yeah um there was so there was actually this kid again being surrounded with like

techy side of the world there's this kid that was a senior um in high school and he was like just like kind of like the edgy kid that like whatever like he was on like the black market like getting shit for people whatever and he was on our football team um and i just remember he was like everybody was just talking about him and like how he's like making all this money off of bitcoin and that's really what sparked my interest. And he came to school and like this, I can't remember what BMW it was, but like came to school with a Bitcoin license plate

and had like butterfly doors on his BMW. And I was like, yo, like this is like this is what I want to do. Like this is what I want to be. Like this is so baller. Like he didn't like he was just like didn't give no fucks. It was so sick. So I saw that and I was like, yes. Like I was in this super like kind of like controlled household and like and it's no offense to my parents.

I have a great relationship with them now. But like you know, you have like all these people telling you what you can and can't do. And then I see this dude just like not giving a fuck like pulling up to school late like literally just like not caring and like just doing his own thing. And I was like, wow, that's what I want. So that's kind of what inspired me. And when was your like first big win? Bitcoin, but then I just like lost it all, you know, so it's just how it goes. Yeah.

So how do you really start making good money now? Like how could, because right now it's obviously a way different landscape than it was in 2016. For sure. How do you start making good money now? Because it seems like when I look at it from the outside in, it's like it's just guessing like anything. I'm not a big fan of crypto. anymore, dude. I'm not. Damn.

Yeah. So, so what do you do then? I mean, you made enough money. Obviously, it sounds like. I trade futures. So I do the indexes. So the S&P 500 in NASDAQ. So, like, that's what I do on, like, a day-to-day basis. And then obviously with social media comes, like, brand deals. And then obviously like I teach people about trading. So I have like I am affiliate like it's just like with gym stuff, you know, your affiliate for like clothes, um, supplements. For me, it's just like within the finance nation, you know, luckily for me, software and finance companies pay a lot more than, you know, like a clothing brand or a supplement company because bro, like these are people who are making money in trading. And then also,

they need to use these softwares and in order to continue trading and in order to continue making money for trading. So for me, it's like a win-win, you know, I can give them a 10 or 20% discount on these softwares that they're going to use anyways. And then in turn, I can get commission on it. So that's like a really good way for me to like just capitalize on the social media aspect. But so you're not, because you know there's like a lot of these fucking guys who didn't actually make money doing the thing that they're talking about, but they make money selling the thing that they're now talking about. Yeah, yeah.

So you actually made a lot of money in the trading space prior to making money. Now, obviously, you can make money doing these brand deals or the stuff that you market and promote now. Yeah. What was the most amount of money you made prior to, like, getting paid to get other people to do stuff? Dude, I mean, I, like, I was making enough money to uproot my money. my life in Utah and moved to Puerto Rico at 20 years old when I only had like 30,000 followers

on like so like you know like cost of living in Puerto Rico is very expensive and even just to relocate your business over there and like you have to buy property to get on the you have to property yeah yeah to get on the tax act so like and also like I was so young so like I had to buy my house in cash so you know like that's millions to be able to do that and like I wasn't making millions from social media. Yeah. So, so what, what was your, what made you the most money before that, before the social media stuff? Crypto and trading. So was it like, but was it, was it, was it Bitcoin? Because I know we

talked about this, but I'm trying to figure out like, at what point were you like, oh, I got tons Oh, due to the COVID bull run. Okay. And what was it specifically then? Solana, their entire ecosystem. Like, uh, there is this one coin, UFO, radium. There was like this, It was like Salana Summer. I don't know. These like shit coins is that? Bro, yeah. Like if you were to look up any of these, they're just like in like literally worth

zero dollars. So you made money off of like the, when it was like 50 cents and it goes like four or five dollars type shit? More than that. Bro. Like big multiples. Big, big multiples. Yeah.

Like I don't know how deep you are in crypto, but if anybody in crypto is watching like people know like Solana Summer. Like that was probably the biggest. creation event. And then before that, it was the ICO play where like if you were able to get pay like whatever like $100 or $200,000 to be, it's like almost like in getting into a private stock before they IPO, but in crypto. So if you put in like $100,000, $200,000 into this crypto that they're saying, hey,

we'll give you X amount of like allocation. If you send us this much and then boom, they launch, they get on all of these exchanges. It's like an instant 1020X if you were able to get into these ICOs. So how were you able to get into that stuff early? No, no. So I wasn't able to get in. I was just saying that like if you were a part of that, that created billionaires. Like those ICOs.

I wasn't getting into any of those. I didn't have any access to it. But then Salana Summer was like the next big like I think that COVID bull run like really changed a lot of lives. What was the most you made then? Dude, like three mill. off of like just one coin. Oh shit. Yeah.

So do you think before you were 20, before you were 20, how much money did you have? Like prior to me making all that money? Yeah. Oh, dude, like nothing. I was, it was like, pros, like difficult for me.

But didn't you buy the house when you were 20? Well, yeah, that was after I made the money from crypto. Okay. And then moved to Puerto Rico. Okay. Yeah. So like when I was, like trying to get things going like it was tough you know I was door dashing to like get money and

you were driving door dash oh yeah bro it was sick no it wasn't sick bro it's cool it was it's cool it's no it's the grind yeah I look back on those times and I mean bro there's like I mean there's times when bro I like didn't even have money to be able to get dinner and I'll just steal the last order. I've been there. I've also been on the other side of that when I'm ordering the food and I'm like, what the fuck is my food? It sucks, bro. It sucks. But then every time that

happens, I'm like, this is just like karma for like literally like the hundreds of meals I've stolen, you know? Yeah, bro, I literally remember there's times when I was driving DoorDash. I would have to I would park my car and I would knock on their door and I would ask them for

actual cash because the money from the DoorDash app wouldn't hit your account until the following day. And I didn't have any money in my bank account. And I would have to literally go to the gas station, put bills into the thing to be able to keep door dashing. It's crazy. But I mean, so, so you, you got your first, it sounds like you got your first house at

20 though. Yeah. That's fucking impressive. Very impressive, especially somewhere like Puerto Rico where I know they hike the fucking price up out of all those houses just because they know it's a tax haven. Yeah. So lately, you've kind of, you've given up on crypto?

I haven't given up on it. I'm more of just like Bitcoin only, and I see it as like super long-term investment. And just where I'm at now compared to where I was at then, it's too high of a risk versus now like, you know, I'm getting a small percentage increase on my portfolio is going to do way more for me than take, taking a big risk, you know, like back then I had nothing to lose. Now I have a lot more to lose.

So I was willing to take those big risk and like just throw all the money that I had into this thing. And it's like, what if this works versus now it's like I would like to know that this is going to work out. You know, I'm trying to take safer bets. Yeah. You, uh, you saw that clip. What's that guy? Dan. I think it's Dan. Yeah. Yeah, Dan Penna. He did this. He said, if you guys found out who owned Bitcoin, it would go to zero. What do you think? Who do you think owned it? Who do you think started it? Obviously, we know it's Satoshi.

That's the thing. Yeah, we've seen some of the stuff come out in the files, but it hasn't really been like a... I also think that Dan Pena or whoever that is, like he probably didn't even know who founded it anyways, too. Like, I don't think he knows who it was either. But, I mean, after seeing the files, it just like kind of makes me want to double down on the fact, like,

do we really want to be putting all of our money in this? Is this like really the safest investment? Who do I think, bro? I mean, honestly, this is something that I said a couple years ago and it's becoming more and more true. I think that this was like completely like a government play. They saw how much debt that the U.S. was collecting. And actually, I think like Trump, obviously, he has his pros and his cons,

but he is relatively smart with understanding like economics. He sees how much debt the U.S. is generating. And this is something that's really sick about crypto. Obviously, the U.S. dollar is severely devaluing in the U.S. owes trillions of dollars in debt. However, within the crypto ecosystem, all stablecoins, like if you live in China, the stable coin that you use is U.S.D. So it's the U.S. dollar. So if you live in Europe, the stable coin, U.S.D. Trump sees that.

He's trying to offset the current U.S. like actual dollar debt that we have and transfer it over to crypto. That's why he's trying to get all these regulations in. That's why he's pushing so hard for it because I think he sees like, yo, this debt that we have as a country is super fucked. We can offset this potentially by just transitioning everything onto the blockchain and then just kind of like start fresh on this USDT because now instead of it just being like, okay, US dollars, it's only in the US.

And then we have euros. we have the Japanese yen. Now it's like, yo, all of these countries are going to be using our stable coin. So I think that's where he's pushing it. And then that puts the U.S. in like a very powerful position where everybody's using U.S.D. So you think you think it started as a U.S. thing? You know, like people in the U.S. were like, we're going to start Bitcoin. Not like, you know, someone from China or someone from wherever.

It's hard to say. I mean, it could have been like a collaborative. venture, but I do think that it was like a, I don't think anymore that it was like some guy in his basement that just founded this revolutionary tech of blockchain. And like, was like, yeah, fuck the banking system. I think this is the new banking system that they've just been slowly trying to. Yeah. It seems like that would make the most sense. Yeah.

Like for sure that makes the most sense, which, which again, like at the end of the day, you, um, you think about that and it's like, okay, well, you know, if that is the case, then like Bitcoin would be like a relatively safe bet. But now there's just like so many different like ecosystems built within crypto and it's like so many things can go wrong. Um, so I think like I see Bitcoin almost as like the S&P 500 of the crypto space. Um, and as, um, and as, time goes on, the volatility slows down. Obviously, volatility is still like relatively high right now, but I think over time as the market cap increases higher and higher, the percentage increases and decreases are going to get lower and lower and make it a little bit more stable. I see. What are

your thoughts on XRP? Like, yes, it has the infrastructure to be the new era banking, but like, bro, that's off hopes and dreams, you know, you could say, like, this is going to be the next big thing. And it's like, okay, well, what if they don't want to fucking use it? Like, why would they, why would they go to a completely separate private company to build the new era of banking on when they could just do it themselves? Right? They're greedy people.

So, like, they're probably not going to want to go with this private company. Yeah, but it kind of goes, in my head, I go back to what we said earlier about the fact that at some point you came to this realization that you think, the US dollars tanking so the government's like, yo, let's do this thing. It's like in my head, not specifically XRP, but any of the ones that they're going to like adopt and say this is going to be like the main sort of money transfer. And I think that's what they were talking about XRP being or potentially being. It seems like in my head I go, well, why would they not want to do it again? Because they made so much money on doing the Bitcoin thing, right? Why would they not want to

pick another one and make it like their horse again and do it all over again almost? That's that's my person. I'm not saying it's specifically going to be XRP. I got a lot of money in it. I would like for it to be. But that's all you asked. But, but,

some insider. But, but like in my head, I think like, it's just sort of rinse and repeat. I mean, because it's, it's like money is almost,

money's not fake. Obviously, money's, I mean, it is fucking fake. Yeah, yeah. Crypto feels way more fake than actual money.

Yeah. You, like, I don't know about you, but like, when I spend like crypto, I'm like, oh like it's pretty like this is like free even though it's not free but like sending like a wire out of my bank account it hurts you know oh yeah versus sending crypto just like yeah like whatever like

that wasn't gonna do anything anyway you sent you sent uh steve a bunch of crypto and you sent toge a bunch of crypto yeah yeah i sent them fucking crypto too and they lose it in an instant hit me back up and ask me for more yes you do any gambling with crypto i do yeah yeah besides obviously investing itself you do any gambling online oh yeah yeah it's It's bad, bro. It's bad. It's bad. I've hit crazy and then I've also lost crazy.

I would say that I'm like, I would like to say that I'm net positive, but realistically, I'm probably like break even. Yeah. It's so tough, man. I love it. It's so much fun,

but it's, yeah, it's bad. It's bad because it's so accessible. Yeah, bro. You can whip out your phone and just like spin. Bro, like, for example, this is how bad it got. I've reeled myself in.

I was brushed. my teeth and did a $100,000 bonus buy on LeBandit and I won 1.5 mil off of it. Completely off stream, just like brushing my teeth, just like, yeah, 100K bonus buy. What's your most, what do you think your most reckless gamble would have been? That one? Well, bro, and prior to that, I was like, I was just doing like $100,000 like bonus spins. I don't know what I was thinking But then I ended up

Winning and that was great But yeah after that I was like I should probably dial this back Yeah you do any sports betting No I'm not a big fan of sports betting Just because because you don't know enough About the sports betting stuff Yeah I don't really want I used to watch a lot of sports

Back when I was in college like with like my crash out friends But like well first of I don't really have any Like not any friends but like I don't have I have much friends now and when I am with my friends, like we're not really watching sports. It's not really like part of the environment that I'm in anymore. Yeah. So it's funny. I think I don't know if this was on camera off camera, but earlier in the one I may be right before

we started you talked about being super like of an introvert. Yes. Yeah. But you're on social media. What is that like balancing? Um, so I love social media and it's really fun for me. I see it as like a video game. Um, it's kind of like another.

call like attention like the new age currency um and it's just so so fun for me to see like i bet i can do this and get a million views and then i go and do it and gets it um or like i bet i bet i bet you that i could get like five million followers it's just like gamifying the shit um but yeah deep down i'm like have horrible social anxiety super introvert i dislike 99% of individuals i think everybody's lame. You remind me so much of myself. It's so funny. Yeah, bro.

I just like, I, well, it's true though. 99% of people suck. Like, and it's, I,

I'm very sensitive. It sounds like, I don't know, I don't know if I'm allowed to say that. It sounds a little bit fruity, but like I'm very sensitive to energy. And like, a lot of people just are very not happy with their lives.

And like when I'm, when I surround myself with that, like I don't enjoy it. And like when people are so negative all the time, it's like, bro, like you got one life, dude. Like, why aren't you, at least, like, you woke up today, you know? Like, you have the opportunity to change your life every single day.

And you're telling me that's, like, not a reason to be pumped. Like, and I guess it's just because a lot of people don't see that in themselves. But I really like to surround myself with people that can see that. And there's not many people that really have that view on life. And it's sad. Do you think you can learn that? Because you are right. Most people, I think, take a little bit more of a nihilistic approach.

Like, it's, it's not going to work out for them. It's not going to be good. Like a lot of, especially nowadays, a lot of young men are like, what's the point of all this shit? Because it's so fucking hard to make money. It's, it's interesting talking to you because you're 23, definitely what I would consider a young man. And it's like, you've, you sort of figured this out.

But it seems like you figured it out from a way that from most people feel like it's not possible for them to figure it out. It's possible for anybody to figure it out. I think we're all dealt like a hand of cards when we're born and, you know, what are you going to do? Fold on your life. You know, it's what you're dealt. So, you know, some people are in like more like some people have an advantage. Some people have a disadvantage.

But, you know, like this is the one life that you have. So you might as well try and like make the most of it. And you might as well try and do whatever is possible with the hand that you are dealt. And there's people that have come from horrible, horrible, like such. disadvantageous situations and been able to become way more than I will probably ever be able to become in my life. So I see that. And I'm like, dude, if this person was able to do it, then why, why can't you? Like, the human mind is such a powerful tool. I feel like people don't even understand how incredible, like just believing in yourself or believing in something. Like humans literally

split in Adam. If we were able to do that, then you can go and make $10,000 a month. You can go and become a millionaire. If we were able to build a plane that can take us from one country to another, like safely on like thousands of flights

a day, you can go out and start a business or you can do whatever the fuck you want in your life, you know? So I think, and it all just comes from like belief. Like there's so many instances where there's like these miracle of humans where doctors say you're never going to be able to run again and then boom they end up becoming like a gold

medal athlete in the Olympics and you wonder what that stems from it's from them saying not fuck that I'm going to go out and do it yeah what what gave you that perspective you think you were just born with that because you know we talk about like 99% of people just being lame I do agree but I also do think that like you said everyone does have that ability like they can have that ability they just have to like allow themselves too. And I think that's the harder part. But were you like, maybe it was your upbringing, maybe it was what you saw what was possible.

So at a young age, you like, whether you consciously recognize it or not, maybe you internalize the idea that I can't have these things that most people think are really hard to get. Or I don't know, I'm just asking you, where do you think it came from? Because it is not a normal, like what you're saying is normal.

And what you're saying is applies to everyone. but it's like that wall that people hit where they're just like, well, not me. Yeah. I don't know. I think for me, I think it stemmed from, I guess, like, my upbringing, but not in the way that you would think. It stemmed from me kind of being in this very sheltered and my parents are the boss and this is what you're allowed to do. This is what you're not allowed to do. in me being a child and hating that and just being like I want to do whatever I want with my life.

And I think I was just willing to do whatever it took to be able to make that happen for myself. Yeah. See, that's the, that's the weird thing is it seems like there's always just because I've had this conversation with thousands of people at this point who are super successful in like their own given right. it seems like there's just certain people that have that ability to say fuck it i'm going to do what i want to do and some people don't yeah it's definitely a mental thing i think it can be trained though um you know like you see a youtube video of somebody that's living a life that like it just needs to

there needs to be some sort of spark to like let it go you know and depending on how that's delivered like, you know, you could like see someone where you relate to them in some sort of way and they're now living the life that you've always dreamed of. And it's like, oh, shit, like this person was able to do it. Then so can I. I think everybody just needs to have belief and then needs to see some sort of example that relates to them, that gives them like that kind of start to be able to take one step forward, you know? Yeah, like the hope. Yeah. All right, guys, cooking for the podcast. Listen, testosterone is at a historic low, like a real historic low in men across the board.

What is this? You do it on purpose? Bro, I'm just like the ultimate troll on the internet, bro. Like all publicity is good publicity. And I just play into all the trolls, like no matter what, if it's hate, if it's love, like, I'm here for all of it. So yeah. So I got the Koenig. It is leased.

However, I put over a million dollars down on it. So, you know, the. the average individual is not able to do that. Yeah, no. And then the payments are like $50,000 a month. So the average person is not able to do that. So that's like kind of the situation of it. And then so yeah, I mean, if you want to call that a rental, sure.

No, that's not a rental. Yeah, me personally, I don't think that's much of a rental. And the reason why I lease it is because I can't own like significant amount of like assets in the United States compared to Puerto Rico. So, um, like leasing a car in Miami, um, and then like renting an apartment there and then owning my cars in cash in Puerto Rico, owning my house in Puerto Rico. It's like, it's better for the tax act. Did you ever see the clip that there's some like, some like promoter or some shit in

Miami being like, TGR has never got a dinner for me or all these things for me. So like, I don't know if it really has money. You know, it's funny, like, I'll ask you about that, but it's funny. And kind of, in my head, I immediately after talking to you for fucking 10 minutes, I was like, it's probably because you just don't give a fuck about going to certain shit. Or is what he's saying is just like, is he just trying to get cloud off of your name? Because he was trying to make it, he was framing it, like, I don't know if this kid really has it. Like he says he has it because he's never got a club thing or whatever fucking table from me.

Well, first of all, like, bro, like, nobody's ever heard of that. dude ever in like Miami like respectfully like he actually did a really good job with like promoting himself online so like all props to him and um but yeah i mean like you think of all the like best promoters in Miami and like he respectfully just doesn't quite make that list um yeah and then when i do go out to the club i'm friends with all of the DJs and all of the club owners so like why would I go through a promoter when one, I could just go with my friend who's playing the event.

Or two, go through the dude that's running the shit, you know? It just doesn't make sense. So like, why would I go through this dude? Yeah. Yeah, but that was again, that was like hilarious for me. I thought that was like a fun little thing to go off of. But that's just like

how it goes. You know, I'm sure you know how it is. Like people just like say names that they know will get attention and views. And I'm all for it. You know, say my name as much as possible, like shout it from the rooftops and I'll repost it, like, whether it's good or bad. Fuck it. So, so you, you're not really so much of a social person, but you do enjoy going out? I did a lot last year, but I'm super specific with how I do it. Um, like, I only will go out when, like, my friends are playing, like I'm friends with a lot of people, like a lot of big DJs. Um, it just

makes it a lot more fun. Like I'm not the one, like the type of person to just be like, let's hit the club. It's like, oh, our friend is playing at this event and or it's like at club space. Like, I love club space. That's like, I love everybody there. And I'll like, I have my table there. It's like completely separate from all of the other tables. Nobody can get to me and everybody at my table is like, they're my friends. And then my friends are playing. So it's like perfect situation for me where like nobody can come up and be like, yo, that's where I don't like it at all. But this year, I'm actually like, what am I now? Four weeks sober.

And I don't think I'm going to go out nearly as much if like at all this year. I've really big goals for myself. And that was like something that I did a lot last year. Obviously was able to smash all my goals for last year and partying was able like to fit into that schedule. But this year it doesn't fit into the schedule. schedule and what are the goals what are the bigger goals be one of the largest creators in the world obviously that sounds crazy but I've done crazy things before in my life and you mean like

youtube streaming which one everything YouTube streaming short form I think I'm one of the few creators that I stream I also host individual YouTube videos not only blogs but also educational videos and live trade recaps. There's literally, it's very rare that you will ever see me not upload five YouTube videos within a week. And then on top of that, I'm uploading 10 to 40 TikToks per day. I don't see any other content creator that's streaming, being able, streaming as much as I am, uploading the amount of YouTube content that I am, while also uploading the amount

of short form content that I am. I personally just think that the amount of work that I'm doing, I'm going to be able to run laps around everybody. Yeah. So, and I found out about you just from like the clips, the Cohn and Sack stuff, but, do you, do you pay clippers as well? Yeah. Yeah, because that's, that's like, that seems to be the meta now. Like, if people are not doing that, it's very hard to get noticed. I feel, because I've been in the space for so long and I'll see, you know, like, they'll see these fucking clips on Instagram or fucking TikTok wherever, but they'll write these fucking captions of like, TGR. It's just like, TGR. Lies. Yeah, or they're just like, write,

Well, that's on Twitter. They're all lies. But on Instagram specifically, I don't know why I keep seeing this. And I know it's from paid clippers or people who are trying to get paid as clippers. I don't know if there's something in the metadata or whatever they do, the reason why they're doing it, probably the search stuff, I guess. But to write these like novels about people. Oh, like the AI like captions. Maybe.

Like TjR is a, they'll like give you like a synopsis of who you are. And it's not necessarily unreal. But I think it's, I think it's part of just. search engine thing. It has to be. Yeah. But those are probably the people that you're paying to get views, right? Because like you pay once they get the views, I'm assuming.

Yeah. Yeah, that's how it works. Or I have like an in-house team and then also like mass market team. So like my in-house team, they get like a retainer because they're like some of my best clippers. And then the mass market team is like, yeah, if you can give me views, you'll get me. Yeah. Okay.

I see. That seems to be like if you're not doing that nowadays, you're, you're fucking washed. Yeah. Because you, bro, like I can only put out. so much content in a day, but if I also have thousands of other people doing it for me, you know, I'm just going to get so much more output. It's a volume game now. Yeah, 100%. It's crazy how much has changed because it used to be just make like a good YouTube video. Yeah, like high quality shit. Yeah, and then it would get clipped and it would do well. Now it's like,

I think because there's this paid incentive for clippers to clip that people don't even clip unless they're getting paid now. It's like really shifted. That's the other advantage that I have, with why that kind of gives me the delusional confidence that I have is like besides maybe like the top five richest streamers you know I have so much more capital to be able to deploy to be able to make this happen yeah you know so like the app like you know like I'm not saying these guys are like B tier streamers but like you know like the people that are getting whatever like 20 to like 10,000 viewers on their live streams like they're just point blank period not making as much money as me. So obviously they're paying a lot of money for their clippers, but I'm able to

spend a lot more. And then in turn, I'll just be able to get way more of a result. What makes you the most amount of money now? Is it the sort of trading thing that you're getting people to sign up to trade? Is that what makes you the most money now? Is that, is that your website or is that someone else's website? What, like, which one? I'll pull it up. Because there's like the prop firms, though that's how like if you're a low capital individual bro like it's never been easier and I'm not even like trying to tell you guys to trade but like literally right now it has never been easier to go from being somebody that has like no money at all to be able to be consistently making like more than $10,000 a month from these prop firms it's crazy like how quick people's

lives are able to change obviously you have to have the skill of trading but this site well this is your site yes yes Yeah, yeah, that's me. But you market, like sometimes you promote other sites. Yeah, so that's the prop firm. So the prop firm, are you familiar with that? No. Okay, so let's say I have $1,000 to my name and I want to trade.

What would be smarter for me to do? Put $1,000 into like a live brokerage account and then try and flip that. Or I could go to a prop firm, pay $100 to like $500 to take. It's like a challenge. So like this trading challenge. and all you have to do is hit a certain profit target without going down a certain percentage and drawdown. And if you pass that challenge, then they fund you with, again, it varies from like $25,000 to like $150,000. You're not obviously not able to withdraw that money because it's

not yours. But whatever profit you make on that now live account, you're able to request what's called like a payout. So if I have a thousand bucks, would I rather trade with my thousand or if I know that I'm good at trading, would I rather spend 500 bucks to be able to potentially get access to $150,000 worth of capital to be able to, if I make 10% on that, then I get $15,000. Huge difference. So, so, damn, this is crazy. So there's, there's people who are, who are kind of funding that upside.

Yes. And they're getting a percent, obviously, on whatever is made from that trade. That and you have to think, a lot. of people, and I mean a lot of people, they almost treat it like gambling where they're like, oh my gosh, if I pass this challenge, because you pay money to take the challenge. If you fail, the company keeps that money.

Yeah. You don't get anything. So there's a lot of people that treated like gambling who don't necessarily have the skill of trading yet. And they're like, oh my gosh, if I can just get one payout and they just spend like hundreds and hundreds of dollars trying to, without having the skill of trading,

trying to pass this account because it's just like off the hopes and dreams of like, oh yeah, if I pass this, then I'll be able to make 15K or 10K. So the big difference is like, are you actually good at trading? So if you are good at trading, then it's literally never been easier to be able to make money.

How do you get good at trading? Market experience. It's just like anything else. It's just like the gym. You got to put reps in. It's not something where you can just watch one YouTube video, find some secret strategy, and then boom,

you're going to get rich tomorrow. Um, it, for me, it took like two years of just like losing money consistently to finally, I mean, a lot of it is like mental because there's so many people that trade in so many different ways. There's a lot of anonymous dudes that I know that are better traders than me that trade completely differently than I do. Um, so it's the independent variable isn't the strategy. So you can take any strategy that could give you some sort of probability within the market, but a lot of it is kind of that like emotional attachment to money. So people will enter into a trade that they probably shouldn't have entered into that's going to give them low probability because they have a fear of missing out.

There's like all of these emotions that are tied to money that cause traders to suck at trading, like greed, fear. Those are really the main ones where people see themselves go into a little bit of drawdown. They're trading with money that they can't afford to lose. They'll close the trade early and then boom, their trade goes up and should have hit take profit. And then that causes them to get upset. And then they say, oh, man, I should have made money on that. then they jump into another trade that doesn't follow their strategy and then they over risk. And then boom, they end up losing more money. So a lot of it has to do with people's emotional attachment to money.

And I think if you can, it's very, very difficult. You have to have a lot of discipline. If you can detach yourself from the money that's involved and just think every single day, I'm trying to go into the market and take setups that give me a high probability of winning and high probability only and use risk that helps me live to trade another day because obviously losses are involved, then you're going to be chilling. So I obviously don't know as much as you know about this trading world. How would I do it if I didn't?

How would I learn? How would I start to learn about actual probability? How would I learn to know that this is a good trade or a bad trade? Go on YouTube, watch videos on like different strategies, understand risk management, and then it's practicing. Like if I love relating trading to basketball because it's like super similar. skill set that you have to grow. Like, Steph Curry is the best three-point shooter of all time.

He was able to make whatever, like, 3,000-something three-pointers in his entire career broke the three-point record. But you have to think how many shots did he take while practicing in order to generate that number? Probably millions. Right. But what are you looking for? I mean, I could go on forever.

There's like a bunch of shit that I see on the chart. So I trade like what's called like smart money concepts. So dude, I could go I could go deep on this. Well, I want to know. I really because I want to know. Yeah, yeah. So it starts with like the fundamentals. I'll try and do like kind of baby summary real quick.

So it starts with the fundamentals. How does an up trend move? It moves in higher highs and higher lows. That's when the market's trending up. How does a downtrend move? Lower highs and lower lows. So that's what retail is thinking. And we don't want to trade like retail traders.

We want to trade like the people who are manipulating the markets. because markets are obviously manipulated. So if we're in an up trend and we push past a high, most people are going to enter into a buy position because they're like, yeah, we're creating a higher high, so in turn, price should go higher. There are certain instances where this is called like a liquidity sweep or us taking out liquidity,

where if we push above a high or push underneath a low within the market, that's going to be some form of manipulation. There's three sessions within the market, Asia session, London session, New York session. and every single market open, there's new money coming into the market, and the new money wants to move the market in a certain way. So they are going to manipulate either a high or a low. This happens like literally every single day.

I could show you hundreds, thousands of examples of this happening every single day. New York market open. There's always a form of manipulation, either price pushing above a high or below a low. And then that causes orders to be filled on the institutional side. and then retail is filling them by taking the opposite direction because obviously with their supply and demand right there needs to be a fill for the institutional orders fill the institutional orders and then you just look for confluences of a reversal so you would look for a new trend to start out of that liquidation and manipulation event so that's what I'm catching like the tops

and the bottoms of moves of new trends that are forming that's how I trade people trade in so many different ways. There's like people that are looking at like different indicators. I'm not the biggest fan of indicators because they're naturally lagging. I mean, bro, I could go on and on about this. That's like my tick. I'm just like a freaking nerd with this shit. So how do you, so okay, but I really do want to know. How do you learn? Like where do you start? I guess because there's so many different ways to do it. You do it a specific way. But where do you start like learning? You're just because you said all these things like high, high. high low lows.

Yeah, yeah. It's all just what a, it kind of is a guess at some point? Guessing with probability. So like I could show you. How do you, how are you assuming the probability? Again, for practice. So like, there's journaling platforms that you can like upload your like, even if you're trading with like paper money, you can upload your like or connect your broker to it.

So you can see like, hey, this is my win rate. This is my risk to reward ratio. so if I'm risking like $1,000, then on average I'm making $2,000 when I win. And by doing that, you can see what your probability is. So like I could open my trade Zela and see like, okay, awesome. I have a 65% win rate with a 1 to 1.7 risk to reward ratio. That means I'm a profitable trader. And I know that when my strategy presents itself, I have full and up most confidence

to be able to take that trade. Why? Because I've data backing it. So these are like, these are like practice trading things before doing it. Oh yeah, you need to trade with paper money prior to actually putting money on the line or else you're going to get cooked 100%. You need to, again, it's like if I were to, if I were to show up to like a one-on-one game in basketball and I've never played basketball in my life and the dude says put up 500,

am I going to want to put up 500? Fuck no, I'm going to suck and I'm going to lose versus if I'm in the gym every single day, frying people one-on-one with no money on the line. And then the same dude comes up to me. And I know that I've won more games than I've lost. Yeah, I'll put the 500 up, you know? Yeah. Especially when it's the same player every single time because we're playing against the same player. It's the same market. The market moves the same way every single time. Huh. Dude, just something I really want to get into. It's funny. A lot of people in the lifting industry, like, I get hit up by like everybody in the lifting industry. I've helped some people.

actually and they're making pretty good money from trading now, which is sick. Yeah, I'm going to have to hit you up on the side. I want to figure this out for real. No, no. Dude, you should. Yeah, I'll put you on. And so this is kind of what you teach on your site or just kind of on your YouTube? YouTube and the mentorship. So like realistically, if you want to become a profitable trader, I see no reason why you can't just watch YouTube videos and become successful. However, again, people were like, well, then why do you have like a mentorship? That's like, let's say, like, obviously, if I want to become successful in business,

I'm going to go to somebody that's in the same niche that has done it before. And I'm going to learn a lot quicker than anybody else that's trying to do it on their own. You know, you could be running into the same mistake for six months straight without even knowing that you're making that mistake unless somebody's going to be there to be able to point it out to you. So selfishly, that's why I brought you here. What do you mean? Because I want to figure this out with you. Oh, hell. Yeah. Cool. Cool. Well, yeah. So I mean, so first of all, what I always tell people is like, if you're just getting into trading, don't buy my shit. Like,

do not. You know, watch all of my YouTube videos first because there are so many people like, I kid you not, so many people. Even big influencers now, I won't name names. But there's big influencers now that are in the trading space that were my students previously and are now crushing it just off of my YouTube. videos or have came through my mentorship. But again, my mentorship, like, it's not required. Go watch the YouTube videos and you very well could find a lot of success from that. And then it's like, okay, if that's not working, then maybe, you know, try something else or try and learn from somebody else. It doesn't have to be me, right?

Like, there's a lot of great information out online. And you want to go the free route for as long as possible. but if you have the capital capital to deploy, then, dude, like coming to somebody like me where like you actually get to talk to me and I can, they can show me their trades and be like, why did this go wrong? And I'm like, well, X and Y reason, then you're going to be able to crush through mistakes and be able to accelerate your growth a lot quicker, you know? What do you think are the number one reasons why trades go wrong in your experience?

Emotional attachment to money every single time, every single time. people trying to get rich quick, people being too greedy, people being fearful of losing. No, like every single time. People to understand trading strategy, it takes around a month and a half to fully understand the concepts, to be able to have all the fundamentals down, to be able to know what to look for on the chart and to be able to mark things out correctly. But following that, being able to execute on the strategy that you've built, it's difficult when there's money on the line, especially when you're a low income individual because you're

you're just like, bro, I want to change my life right now. So you're going to take bigger risk when you shouldn't. You're going to take trades that you shouldn't be taking that aren't giving you probability within the market. And in turn, it causes you to not be profitable. Yeah. It's almost like gambling gambling. I mean, it is.

Yeah, yeah. When you're, yeah, when you're trading with when you're like not following your plan, it's 100% gambling. If anything, it's worse than gambling because you're trying to get something that's bigger than a one-to-one risk or reward, which is essentially going to be a coin flip. one to one would just be okay my stop loss is 20 ticks down and my take profit is 20 ticks up 50 50 direction there versus more often than not most traders are trying to get more than a one to one risk reward ratio because that's obviously ideal you want to make more money than you're risking

so it actually puts odds stacked against you if you don't have probability and don't have a strategy that you're following dude i really want to get into this Buy my course. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'm trying to get the training blueprint. I'm trying to get the homey discount. Yeah, no, no.

What's a, how do you, you know, we talked about being sort of an introvert and you're so young. How do you deal with the females? I don't. I, yeah, I've, I've, I don't, I've, I don't, I don't entertain girls, bro. Like, it just, I don't know what my thing is.

I'm just so delusionally, like, obsessed with where I want to go with my life. And the way that I think about it is, like, the right person is going to pretty much just, like, fall into my lap by me doing what I love. And I think that if I go out of my way, I'm naturally going to act differently. Like, if I see a girl and I'm like, oh, damn, like, she's bad or, like, oh, I want to take her on a date. I don't want to go on a date. I don't want to go on a three-hour dinner. Bro, you're so much like me.

It's insane. Go ahead. Yeah, so I don't want to go on a date. That's something that I wouldn't do. I want to stay at home. I want to work. So if I'm going to keep doing whatever I want with my life. And if or when a girl comes into that and I have a connection, then awesome.

That means that she's already like in line with where I'm going with my life versus is if there's like, if I, the second that I go out of my way, the second that I start cap and just because I'm like, oh, damn, she's bad. Like I'm trying to crack. Like, boom, you're already being somebody that you're not. So why not just be the fullest and most true form of myself? And it's going to come naturally. Like, I truly believe that. And I think a lot of people, they spend a lot of time and they're just like, why can't I find the one? And it's like, bro, because you're not being yourself. You're not actually doing what you want to do. And you wonder why you get all. all of these like shitty females in your life because you're not being yourself.

And then you wonder why there's like relationship issues after three, four months of your relationship. It's because you were lying not only to yourself, but also to the girl about the person that you were. Yeah. Yeah, that's for real. That's from real shit. It's funny, man.

You figured it out pretty young. There's a lot more for me to figure out. Yeah, of course. Of course. What do you enjoy doing the most that's not work? I know the answer is going to be my answer. every hour of my day upon waking is scheduled and it's doing what I love. So it's work.

Like I truly, there's like, okay, if you like, okay, lazy Saturday when I don't like, I always have like my Saturdays and Sundays like I'm not allowed to take any calls on those days. So like what do I do? I go to the beach, but I'm still working on my phone, you know, but like a little change of scenery. I like going on walks. I like going to the gym.

and that's about it. You know, I just like walking in nature with my dog and going to the beach and being alone. Yes, dude is me. Dude, that's so fucking funny, man. I respect that. Yeah. So there's nothing, there's like,

there's nothing outside of work that really get you hyped up. No, dude, because I just love what I do. Like, if, you know, like work is just so fun for me. And I feel like work isn't even the word. It's just like, this is what I want to do with my day every single day. Like, and it's just like, you know, some days suck or like most days suck, but it's just like waking up and knowing that I'm going through this horrible shit and like the stress, the ups and downs for whatever reason it's like a drug. Like I love getting slapped in the face.

I love when some shit goes wrong. In the moment I get pissed off. But then after the fact, I look back on like past couple years of all the times I've been knocked down or all the difficult shit that I've been through in order to get. me to where I'm at. And I'm like, man, this is the life. Like, just love working hard and, like, putting myself in very uncomfortable positions to make myself grow. Yeah. Well, that's, I mean, that's why you have your success. There's no doubt about it. And, like, why anyone gets anything good in their life is because they probably went through shittier stuff. And the reason why things eventually work out is because you've gone through things that didn't work out. It's just, it's hard for

people to recognize that, I think, when they're in the shitty stuff. It's almost like, I mean, this is what I'm doing this year. Like, the second that I ever get sort of complacent or the second that life starts to feel too good, I immediately say, I need to do something very difficult or I need to change like everything. So, like, an example from last year was like, I was like, man, like life is good. And I was like, that's bad. I am going to shave off all of my hair.

I'm going to run a marathon. I'm going to lose all this weight. And I'm also going to move into a new house. I just wanted to change everything because I was like, I'm getting way too comfortable. This year it's a similar situation. Like just change. Like nothing changes if nothing changes.

A lot of people, they get comfortable. And then they do the bare minimum work that's required for them to maintain that level. And they continue maintaining it, which is great. and that's great for them if they want to stay at that level, but you can't bitch and scream when I go to the next level and you stay the same because you're not willing to do something like more difficult. With every reward comes a sacrifice, you know?

So this year, you know, like I'm sacrificing a lot. I'm sacrificing time with my friends. I'm sacrificing, even though it's not that big of a sacrifice, like going out, drinking, having fun, to be able to get me to where I want to go because I see the people with 10 million followers, 10 million subscribers. and, you know, it's like they're not waking up hungover. They're not like, they're not just like putting their feet up on like every single day.

They're waking up and they got a mission, you know? Yeah. So, so you want to be the biggest creator? One of. One of. I think saying biggest creators a little bit, you know, it's a challenge. But once I've become one of, you know, the biggest would be sick. But yeah, it's, there's.

What do you, what do you like to do with your money besides by fucking, you know, fancy cars. I don't even like cars. Yeah, that was... So, you know, it's funny? The Koenigzeg, like, I just love the content. I love the game. I literally got it because I was like, I'm gonna fuck with people with this. Like, this is gonna make people shit themselves.

Like, bro, I got the car and I was like, this is cool. When can I upload to TikTok? When can I make the YouTube video? And it's just like itching to make content with it. And I was just like, I know I'm going to break the internet with this. So, yeah, I don't like cars. spend money I like to improve

like just I like making my like money just helps me live a more live the life that I want to live so like I hate going into public airports so for the most part I fly private I love staying in nice hotels

I love living in a nice house I love having a nice bed. I love like just whatever I can do like in any sort of environment that I'm doing on a daily basis. If I can get that to the max prestige level, then that's what I want to do, you know. Speaking in call of duty terms. Yeah, Max prestigious. I love it. That's good.

I mean, dude, it seems like you figured this shit out. Is there anything that you feel like you haven't that you have a really hard time figuring out in your life? It sounds like you figured out money. it sounds like you figured out work. Sounds like you figured out those things. Mental health is something that I've always struggled with. God has helped me a bit with that. But that's something that I actually learned the hard way

where I thought that I was really, I've attempted to take my life multiple times. Which is at what point? Like earlier or before I had money and after having money both times. So it, geez, I get emotional. talking about this. Yeah, I've been through rough shit, bro.

I've been there. I get it. Yeah, that sucks. What was the reason the first time before money? Like, it was like stupid just like thinking that nobody loved me because like I had such a polar opposite version of myself that I wanted to be that my parents wanted me to become. Um, it was like, you spend your entire life trying to be the man that you want your parents to have you be. And I wanted a completely different life for myself than they wanted. Um,

and it was tough. Yeah. Yeah. I get it, man. Uh, I do. I do. It's, it's, it's kind of like this idea that, but I guess the thing that I find hard about it is, that's almost the point. That's like the point of life. is you're not going to be who everyone else thinks you're supposed to be. And I know it's hard because when it comes with parents, you have a lot more pressure than, you know, a friend. You're just kind of like, fuck you,

I'm going to do my own thing. When it comes from parents, it's definitely a lot harder because you want to make them proud, I think. And I think I know specifically for myself, I struggled a really hard time throughout my whole life. I grew up without a father. And my fight was sort of with myself being good enough

because my father took his life. and, you know, exited my life and me feeling like I wasn't good enough for my father to be around for. So I struggled with that my whole life. But that was also the thing that, you know, X amount of years later I found when I found the gym and I was successful in the gym and I had impacted people through what I was doing there and the whole social media space. It kind of made sense. It just took a long time to make sense. But for you, it was the idea that you weren't going to satisfy these, you know. Yeah, it was like, it was just like this big, just like wound up emotional ball of like, I want this so badly with my life.

But in turn, I feel like my parents are going to be so disappointed with me or my parents already are so disappointed with me. Like, bro, like it's just I was, I wanted to become somebody that was just the polar opposite of what my parents wanted me to be. and in turn it just made me feel like I had no one and in like when I was college I just like in college like that was kind of when it was difficult with like me and my parents and then like also I didn't really relate to many people while I was in college like I had friends but like it was like man like I don't really fuck with these people um so it was difficult you know it just like felt very very lonely And then after making money, I thought that that was like part of my drive. Like, oh, once I like make money, like everything will be solved.

And then like it was the opposite. It was like on paper I had like everything that everyone would dream of. But in turn I like just like was still very unhappy with myself and like had a very difficult time loving myself. I think there's like something in my brain that like I'll just never be. enough for myself. It's like just this constant battle of like, yeah, just never being enough for myself. But I think everybody can or should be very selfish with their life and not try and live

their life for other people because then you're just going to live a life that you hate. You know, if you can live your life for yourself. you're actually going to be able to love the life that you live and then in turn be able to benefit everybody that's around you. And if you live the life that you want to live, then you're naturally going to, just like the girl thing, you're naturally going to attract people that love you for your truest form of yourself. And that's like what helped me the most of like getting out of everything was one, like expressing myself on social media. Because prior to that, I just felt like I wasn't cool.

I had like this nerdy tick of like day trading that, you know, at the time it like wasn't cool. And I was just like on my computer all the time. And didn't really have anybody that I felt like loved me. And then I start putting out content and like I'm changing all of these lives and people are like just like literally like love me as weird as that sounds. But like, they're just like me being able to help other people through the internet is like what really made me super fulfilled. It's like, you know what's interesting though? You contradicted yourself. You said that you think everyone should live selfishly.

Yes. But the thing that made you feel fulfilled was other people validating you. But I had to live selfishly. Like when I say live selfishly, I mean live life how you want to live it. So not how other people want to live. want you to live it. So like that doesn't mean like fuck everybody. I want everything for myself. Like you can in or you technically in order to be the most selfless person, you have to be the most selfish person because like how are you going to support and help thousands and millions

of individuals if you don't have anything yourself to give? For sure. So yeah, I've yes, that was a contradiction if you're just thinking like on paper like what a typical selfish person is. But yeah, For me, like, my fulfillment is, and I wouldn't have been able to help these people had I not developed the skill of trading. Had I not been able to make money and had I not been able to go out and express myself freely on social media. You know, like there would be so many people that wouldn't be successful and where they're at today had I not picked up the phone and like started recording videos. Yeah. No, you're right. It's just, it's funny to hear that. But again, you're right. I just heard the selfishness. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

in like a traditional sense. But yeah, the thing about life I really recognized is the thing that makes you feel like you just described actually purposeful outside of yourself is the community aspect of it, is helping in a way. Obviously, you're able to monetize it, which is great. But at the core of it, it is about the fact that other people are able to look at you or talk about you in a light where you're like, damn, this person affected me in a positive way. And that's like, that's kind of like all this shit truly is about money.

and all these other things just become an exchange of that sort of energy currency. Bro, yeah, yeah. Money is literally just like energy. It's just a tool, you know? Yeah. To be able to help you do whatever you want. Like a lot of people see money in like a completely wrong light. And obviously when you're struggling, it's hard not to see it that way.

Yeah. Because you need to pay bills. Yeah, yeah, exactly. It's like this like money is life. But once you can like slowly start building more capital and making more money, quickly realize like obviously you end up splashing out on yourself first and then you quickly realize like this isn't fulfilling at all and then it's like okay well how can I help as many like I love like bro like I buy my friends the craziest shit like spend hundreds of thousands

of dollars on my friends like I buy them crazy watches chains like I take my parents and my family on trips that they would never be able to go on And I'm just like sitting there like smiling like, oh yeah, like I bet you like this. Like this is like super sick. Like I get so much more joy out of them experiencing something that to me would feel like blazay at this point. But that's like that's why I live now. It's just to be able to give everybody else the opportunity to live this awesome life that I'm living as well. Yeah.

So you struggled with mental health stuff. You talked about trying to take your life twice. How did you try to take your life? I didn't kind of get into that. Bro, just like I took like, it was like, it was like the weakest attempt ever. It just like took as many like just like over the counter. I think it was like Advil or whatever the blue like blue pills are. I think it's Advil.

Yeah, like the ones that are like kind of squishy just took like a ton of them. And I mean it was a weak attempt, but I was just like, yeah, I was in. dark lights. Yeah. Do you still struggle with those thoughts now? No, I'm far from depressed now. And I actually think as crazy as this sounds, being somebody that was technically diagnosed with depression, I think that it's a choice. I think that you can wake up and look at all of the things that could potentially cause you to be sad, could potentially reinforce that thought that Nobody loves me. My life sucks. Or you could wake up every single day and say, man, I'm blessed to be alive. I'm blessed to even still have a family. I'm blessed to be able to walk. Like in Tony Robbins

does a really good exercise on this where he says like whatever, look around the room, look at everything that's red. And then close your eyes. Tell me everything that was blue in the room. And, you know, It's like, can't tell you anything because I was looking for red and then open your eyes, now look around. You can probably see a bunch of blue. So that like really, that's what the brain is such a powerful tool. Like the way that we perceive life is like your focus becomes your reality. And at that time in my life, obviously I was struggling with like relationship with my parents,

all of that. So it was very easy for me to just be like, my life sucks. I have no friends. Nobody loves me. But in reality, I was living. like a life that a lot of other people would love to have lived. Yeah. So yeah,

I think perception is everything. I think that people choose as difficult as this sounds for people to hear. I think people choose to be depressed, whether they know it or not because they're focusing on it. That's a fact. I think there's no denying that. Have you done any like mushrooms or anything like that? Yeah, yeah.

I love them. They're good. Nice. That actually, I trip sack before making the decision. to move to Puerto Rico and it was crazy situation. So I was in Utah. I went to school at the University of Utah for like a year and a half prior to dropping out.

Shout out the Mormons. Literally. Yeah, you wonder why I went there. But yeah, so I was there and like I was making money and I had like this big decision of like I've dropped out. I want to get out of this situation. I don't really know where to move. I had a couple options. It was either like Miami, San Diego, or potentially Puerto Rico.

And I like just took like three grams. And I was chilling in my friends like college apartment. And all of them were like completely sober. I just did it myself. I was trying to like find myself. And I was sitting there and I was looking around and I heard my friends talking about homework and studying for a test. and I felt so sick to my stomach.

And I just had this voice in my head that kept saying, you do not belong here. You do not belong here. And it caused me to freak out to the point where I literally had to like get up and leave their apartment. They were like, are you good? And like I couldn't even like, as sad as this is, like I couldn't even look them in the eye like because I was like, this is not where I'm supposed to be right now.

And that caused me to just be like, I need to move as far away as possible. and just like go go do my shit like you know work um that's what caused me to move to Puerto Rico yeah Puerto Rico man I got I got to go there you saw all the bad bunny shit what do you mean like you saw that yeah are you on Twitter yeah yeah occasionally yeah bro it's so okay I get kind of upset because like listen I'm not I'm not big into into politics because like, you know, I, like, there's like nothing we can do. Like, whatever. I can obviously voice my opinion, but like at the end of the day,

me saying something online isn't going to change anything that's happening within the government. So I just try to avoid it at all costs. But I get so irritated because 99% of people are just so dumb. People are like, oh, bad bunny is going to get shot performing at the halftime show. Or like, he's going to have to wear a bulletproof vest. I love Bad Bunny. He's from Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory.

He's not going to get fucking shot. He's a U.S. citizen. Like, are you freaking crazy? Like, it just makes me so upset when people, like, just don't understand, like, just, like, the bare minimum to be. And that's why I try and stay out of politics, because it's always just, like, the most brain dead, like, shit. So that pissed me off so bad, like,

especially me being somebody that lives in Puerto Rico. just like got so upset people are just like oh like he's like he's so he's so scared to perform at the halftime show like no the fuck he's not bro like yeah are he stupid like it's weird yeah the thing they they didn't like is because he's singing in Spanish but it's like come on man like who gives a it's just music who cares bro he's the biggest artist in the world yeah like and honestly like it was a like it was a great play from the NFL like obviously all like the rednecks were pissed because they're like, what the fuck is this guy talking about? But they got all of the Latin,

they got all the Latin American countries to tune in for that shit. And the football that they know is soccer, you know? Like, so they got so much viewership from that. And bro, like, sports is a business. Like the NFL is a business. They're going to, who gives a fuck about who's performing at the halftime show? They're thinking, how can we get the most amount of views possible? At the end of the day, what they're doing is content too.

Yeah. Like, they're just like, how can we make this as crazy as possible? possible to get as much views as possible. They knew what they were doing with that. Yeah. No, I knew that too. It was obvious. It's even even the lead up that they it's going to be that. We're probably pushing the clips about it, bro feeding these little like stupid comments in there as well. Yeah, the stupid part about it is the political side of it that like people will try to make anything this like left first right thing, which is so fucking stupid at the end of the day. Yeah, I can't stand it. It's ridiculous. Because it's just like, man, like our government is our government whether it's fucking left or right. They get their agenda.

and maybe it shifts a little bit when it's left, it shifts a little bit when it's right. They're still trying to go out on the same road, which is just, you know, for conversation's sake to not get too deep into it, but it's just ultimate control of us. I mean, but it's just... Yeah, like, realistically,

if we can look back on like the past 15 years of like the government, I think everybody would say it has been shit. Yeah. And there's been different, different wings as a president throughout that entire time. It sucks because they're,

the opposition. It's not right versus left. It's us versus them. Yeah. As, you know, oh no, I'm going to get canceled. But like, that's, that's what it is, bro. Like in there, they are the ones that are manipulating that to put the people against each other when at the end of the day, it should be us looking at them saying, what the fuck are you guys doing? And then the ironic part, and this whole conversation around the Super Bowl and this whole like, oh, it's Spanish, I don't like it. It should be whatever other artists, fine. But it's like there's also other things that are way more important that people are just, are we good at now, stop talking about this other shit,

like the whole Epstein thing, oh, there's like controlling the government. And it's like, that's the thing people should continue to fucking scream off the rooftop. It's not about fucking whether the halftime fucking performance is Spanish or English. It's like, what about all these weird ass people who are fucking pedophiles

who are fucking our government? Literally, bro. And it's screwing us over. Yeah, it's in people just like, I mean, I see TikToks about it, but like, is anything happening? People are just like, why can't we do something? it's a great question why can't we do something like we fully could yeah but for whatever reason

like there's just i think especially with like social media and like all of the stuff that's being pushed nowadays it's just like made humans like there's no fucking gladiators anymore bro like there's no sort of like any sort of like rally or any sort of push to get anything done nowadays well it goes back to what you said. It's a part of let's get them to argue about English or Spanish or let's get them to argue about black and white or let's get them to argue about this religion or that religion or let's get them to argue about these rights

or those rights. Let's get them to believe that they're doing something that they shouldn't be doing or they're doing something that they shouldn't be doing so that you just keep in the mix so that they never go, wait, we should all just go, literally. What the fuck is going on here? Fuck you guys. We're taking our country back. But the goal is to make people

feel powerless so that they just keep arguing about all this nonsense or they're arguing about this nonsense, so they feel powerless, and nothing actually changes. That's, that's this fucking, like, from a thinking person's perspective, that's what's happening. I mean, yeah, from somebody that makes content for a living, we're living in the largest form of content creation. Like, they are just like, boom, like, go talk about this. And they're just watching it play out.

Like, we're literally living in just like their playground. It's the market manipulation of the world. Bro, that's actually trading is what. I mean, I don't know how deep we can get into this. I would love to show you. I don't know what I can say on this, but very large, like significant events that have happened in like the world that a lot of people thought were bad or horrible things was just severe market manipulation. And obviously based on like me talking to you, you are very aware of this. But seeing it on a chart is another thing. actually push me so far to this like understanding this is like understanding market manipulation is

like holy shit like we're against the institutions as retail traders but then also when you see these big like global worldwide like allegedly bad things happening that caused the market to crash and then you see how the chart reacts to it it's like wait a second this is not like what it actually is. This is just full-fledged manipulation. It's on purpose. A hundred percent it is. And I could, oh my goodness, like, I mean, I could go, I could show you on a chart, like literally exactly where the manipulation happened, what levels they were trying to take out, what specific leverage traders they were trying to take out at certain times. And it's like all just to fill their orders and all to make them richer, you know? So, I mean, what can we do? The only thing that

we can do is try and make our lives the best best best lives possible you know yeah i was i just wish everyone would get together with a bunch of pitchforks and fucking that sounds that sounds bad to say but like no no yeah that's the that's the that's the only real change but you're right the the other change the only thing that like you can for sure guarantee is what you're doing within yourself yeah spending time to be better trying to understand you know whether it's at the markets or it's something you want to be fucking great at that's the thing that i think the people who get in the weeds about arguing about politics here, there should step out a little bit sometimes and go, not that those things aren't important or not that it's just like, you know, something you shouldn't think about or talk about

or rally behind, but there is that sense of, okay, let's take a little bit of emphasis sometimes off of that and put it back onto yourself and what are you actually doing with your life so that you could also put yourself in a position to actually create change. Yeah, 100%. Yeah, because right now a lot of people are just so head first, like the amount of time and effort that they spend research things, researching these topics that they, their comment is going to cause zero, no sort of change whatsoever. They just write a full essay in the comment section. And it's like, you know, how does that, how did that change your life? It didn't. How did that change the government? It didn't. Did that change the other person's opinion? It didn't. So it was useless. It was a waste of your

time. So you might as well make your time useful and, you know, say like, okay, understand all of these things, you know, get your position on it. But at the end of the day, your life realistically probably won't change much unless you're putting it into yourself. Yeah. Yeah, that's a fact, dude. So what else you got planning in L.A.? I literally leave. I go to Dubai in like an hour. Really? What are you doing to Dubai? Bro. Content. Or I'm really just taking a pit stop there then to go to Saudi Arabia. What are you doing there? You got plans? You got plans? out there? Yeah, yeah. Okay, fair. What are you back in L.A.? We've got to do a workout. Yeah, I know. I don't have my filmer with me. I was, I literally just came here to be able to take

the flight to Dubai. So I like came here and I was like, let's just like knock out as much content as possible. Did some shit yesterday, doing this today. And then, um, yeah, I, I don't really come to L.A. much. I just hate, bro. I hate the U.S. It's, I'm sure you understand it too. It's like, I've gotten to the point now and it sounds so lame of me, but when I'm walking down the street and like obviously it's people showing love and I love it and I mentally prepare myself for it, but it's a lot, you know. So I like to just spend my time in Puerto Rico where nobody bothers me and then I like spending my time internationally where not as many people know me and it's like one or two

people will come up to me while I'm out there like the U.S. also the people here just like anywhere you know you can say oh this city sucks or this city's better like i just don't like any of the people from the u.s it's just like it's so so bad they're all just so negative thinking everything about their life sucks for x and y reason it's like i just don't want to surround myself with that yeah i wonder if it had me throw it's like i feel like that's even on purpose that's a different level of si-op oh for sure yeah yeah fuck how do we make it better man everyone just get rich or what? It's the mental, bro.

Like, people just need to see the good in life. People are just so focused on the negative and so focus on all the bad things. And it's like you wonder why your life keeps going on this slow and steady downtrend. Because you're just looking for all the negatives. And, you know, like, if you think my life sucks, you're going to look for all the things that suck in your life

versus if you say I'm the luckiest person, you know, lucky things are going to happen. to you every single day and like you're if that's just going to compound. I like I try and use my platform to preach that but it's so hard to get it through people's heads and going back to like what we're talking about like people will look at me and they're just like easy for you to say trust fund kid and it's like bro I don't have a trust fund like I'm trying to help you guys and it's like there's it's just such a closed minded take where they're just like looking for any excuse possible for why I was able to do it and why they can't and it's like you have

even tried yet. Like just try, bro. I'm trying to help you. And it, yeah, it sucks. No, I get it. I mean, I can't tell you how many times throughout my career, people will, you know, at whatever point I'm at, I've got, oh, your life's easy so you don't get it. But it's also like, bro, I didn't start there. My father hung himself when I was six years old and I worried about my value as a human, my entire life. And I thought about life and death my entire life. And what's the point of my life? and I was fucking confused trying to figure it out as a fucking young kid to a young adult. And then it finally made sense 20 years later. So it's like it is.

It's all a perspective thing. It's exactly what you said about the depression thing earlier. It's always a choice to decide what your perspective is going to be. Like how are you going to look at the things that happened to you in your life? And most people, you're right. They choose to look at the negative because I don't know if it's more alluring or it's easier to play the victim and go, oh, this happened to me. So my life's like this now.

but there is no denying that that's the way to continue to get more of the shitty things in your life is when you look at them. And it is interesting to see that you're explaining that. I've experienced that firsthand fucking for years where people will say, oh, well, yeah, it's easy for you to say, you have this. It's like, again, I didn't start out that way. So, you know, if you're not starting out that way either, okay, look at the good still. Because I didn't even think when I was doing it all, was I like, oh, I'm going to be popular. I'm going to have some. social media cloud. I was just like, I'm trying to feel good about myself as just a human. I was trying to like find worth within myself. And then eventually I had worth because that's what I was

obsessed about. And so I think people just need to learn to be obsessed with like the good in their life or even if it's the bad like trying to make it good, trying to figure out how it can be good. Because that's all I obsessed about in my conscious and my subconscious for fucking years. And then eventually I was able to look back on my life and go, holy shit. All of that shitty stuff that happened to me made me who I am today. And that's why I have success because I went through it. It might even to even tell you this story. Like if someone hears it goes, wow, that was, that was nice or that, that changed my thought is only because I went through the shitty stuff.

Literally. And realistically, we actually, when people say, like, easy for you to say, like, it's actually not easy for us to say. You try, if I took that exact person and then put them in my position, I guarantee you that they would not be able to do all the stuff that I do on a day. basis. And then on top of that, like, I think about most successful people, they have to hit rock bottom or they have to have some sort of like catalyst that's just like such a detrimental thing, whether it's like mental health, whether it's like literally being in like crippling debt. But like that is almost always like the kickstart versus like the people that are just like kind of living their lives, whether they know it or not, like they are technically comfortable

enough to not be willing to do something more to make their life better versus like the people that end up getting massively successful like life just knock them the fuck out and like really open their eyes to like yo I need to turn this shit around or like some bad shit happened and it's like damn bro and then you go through hell and back to be able to get to where you're at like it's impossible to become massively successful without going through very very difficult shit And even our lives, like, I know there's like always a thing like streaming, streaming's really hard. Like, you know, like, yeah, talking to a camera's relatively easy, but also you think about everything else that like is, like is involved with it. Like most people couldn't live the days that I live and I know my life looks great.

But every single hour of my day down to the freaking minute upon wake is scheduled. And I have to do high level shit during every single one of these hours. You guys are not capable of doing that right now. You guys can build the skill set to be able to do that. But saying that our lives are easy, it's like, that's just a straight up lie. Like we went through shit to be able to get to where we're at now to be able to live this easy life. Well, it's also just a cop out. It's a cop out is so that they don't have to do the hard things.

Yeah, yeah, of course. Because the reality is whether it's my life or your life or some other person's successful life or unsuccessful, it's still every day it's a fucking choice to decide where you want to put your energy, where you want to allow your perspective to see your life, the circumstances of your life. And it is just that. It's a fucking choice. It's completely a choice whether you want to be mad at yourself

or mad at your circumstances or sad that you lost your girlfriend or sad that you lost your parent, whatever it is. Just make the other choice that goes, okay, how can this actually turn into something good? Maybe not right now in this moment, but I'm going to look for the good in this, the best that I can. It's just a fucking choice. 100%. And most people, you're right. They don't make the choice.

and it's easier for most people to go, well, you got this because of that, your life's like this because of that. But then you're just making the choice to be a fucking victim to your life. And how can you expect to be a fucking hero? Bro, I say this all the time. The second that you start taking responsibility

for everything that has happened to you in your life is the second that you have responsibility for your future. If you say, I'm in a shitty position because of my environment, I'm in a shitty position because of my friends. I'm in a shitty position because of my parents. Then you will never be able to change your life because it's up to, those external things that you cannot control

versus if you say every single action that I've taken since birth has led me to be in this position right now and I'm in a shitty position then okay that sucks that you're in a shitty position but now you have the opportunity to change that. Yeah, it's about that radical responsibility. Well, brother, I appreciate your time.
