Taking the BS out of business for over six years and over 400 episodes.
You ready to start snapping next and cash in checks?
Well, it starts right about now.
What's up guys? Welcome to Write About Now.
It's Friday, April 11, 20, 25.
It's our weekly business news here on your Friday.
We appreciate you for joining today's topics.
We've got tariff talk.
Who will blink first in the art of tariff war?
You like what I did there, Chris.
It's the art of terror, the art of war, tariff war.
Tariff talk, tariff edition.
Tariff talk.
How many acronyms can we get?
We've also got today.
We're going to talk UFC and meta, signing a sponsorship deal.
You know, Dana's going out, taking it to the mat.
He's gotten tough.
Now he's sponsoring or, you know, they're working together.
Let's just say that official fan technology partner, whatever that means, you know,
helping the fans get closer to it.
So talking UFC, meta, tariffs, the impact, who's going to blink first, the stock market,
Chris can talk crypto, and you know how we get down.
What's happening today, Chris?
How you doing, big dog?
I feel it's been a while.
Yeah, I know.
You've been, you know, we're actually doing jobs.
We're running around making shit happen.
I don't know.
Got to do the actual stuff that pays the bills, you know?
I don't know.
You don't just get to talk about it.
You know, a lot of people could just talk to talk.
We've got to walk.
And then talk to walk.
Yeah, walk to walk.
Walk it like you're talking.
It's amigos here is our intro music.
You know, talk it and walk it.
We like to take the BS out of business.
That's why we're living and breathing that business life, keeping up with everything.
Chris just to hop right in.
I mean, stock markets taking a beating this week.
If you're going to talk business news, you've got to start there.
Have you read the art of war?
Yeah, I have it right next to me.
Yeah.
And like the 48 laws of power.
like certain things.
If you really read between the lines here,
Trump's a negotiator.
Or Trump's art of the deal, I would assume
it would be another great reference point.
Exactly.
I have to admit,
as a risk taker myself,
like,
I get a little uncomfortable with some of the shit that he does,
but I still
firmly agree in the principle
of what he's trying to get done.
But I got to admit, he's playing with trillions of dollars here.
So I sure as hell hope he's right.
But it does just feel like if all the chips fell,
I do believe the U.S. is in the best position.
So sometimes you've got to go all in when you know you've got the hand.
Even if you've got to sit there and sweat it.
And because sometimes, look, as a business owner, you'll get this, Chris.
Like, sometimes we have to make uncomfortable decisions.
And he's having to make under-comfortable decisions on behalf of all of us where when you go all in on a poker game and you know you got it or you're pretty damn sure you're as sure as you can be, you still got to put all the chips in and wait it out.
Like as a business owner, sometimes you got to write it.
that check and you know it's coming back, but you go all in.
And that's, I think that's what we're experiencing right now.
And look, you know, everybody's looking at their stocks and I, believe you, I get it.
You know, and you drop 30%, 10%, 20%, whatever it might be, depending on where your holdings are, it's uncomfortable.
And it can make you second guess everything.
And there's moments from it.
I'm not sure that I know what he's trying to do.
I think I know what he's trying to do here.
And I think the end is right.
I think I know to what end.
But there's a lot of fucking discomfort involved in getting there.
That's what it feels like.
When you brought up as a business owner,
that just is what I think of.
I think maybe that's why.
I don't feel freaked out by this because I know that you have to have some pain, right?
It's like I think of everything like the gym.
Like you're going to have uncomfortability and discomfort to build that muscle,
but then you're stronger after that.
Yep.
You can be sore for a little bit.
You know, everything, every big change in pivot feels painful at first.
And then, you know, you see the other side.
So not only that, but I just think we don't have a choice.
Like I think we're kind of out of.
I mean, we've been slowly, it's comfortable.
Like, if you're losing a little bit of blood of time, you don't know it.
Exactly.
I mean, that's a really dramatic.
Like, oh, that's exactly where that popped in my head.
It was a slow bleed.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You don't notice it when it's like, drip, drip, drip, drip, like bowling a frog.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
Like, it's happening.
It's happening.
And you're comfortable, but you're still dying.
Costco open guys, new Costco open.
but we're slowly bleeding.
It was like the next shiny thing.
And meanwhile, I mean, if we really look at the numbers and even like millennials, my generation, we know this.
I mean, I think everybody knows this.
But when you look at inflation and homeownership, there's obviously something wrong.
Right.
Yeah.
So, you know, I think even you and I, when we've talked about the tariff stuff, there's times I've been like not feeling good.
I'm like, I don't like this.
Yeah.
sucks.
Yeah.
I don't like this medicine.
Yeah.
But I'm also like, well, it is what it is.
Kind of just keep doing what you do.
Maybe watch the news a little less.
Be a little triggered by it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I'm less like, don't you're wrong.
I'm still young.
You're young.
Yeah.
Relative to long-term investments.
And as an entrepreneur that's youngish,
I have a lot more vested in business.
You know, I'm not sitting here with 90% of my network in the stock market.
You know, so I'm vested in multiple businesses and other things that I have more control in that don't get me wrong.
They would be impacted by sort of consumer spending, business spending long term if there was something drawn out.
but short-term, you know, I can stomach the stock market drops.
But what I will say, you know, you can see the strategy and but you don't want to get in an all-altruy war that extends for months and years.
I think it's really who blinks first.
And I think some countries probably already have blink that, you know, something small.
countries that have no choice but to sort of get in line here and then it'll be really
who blakes first between china and us yeah both retaliatory and the only thing that scares me
is china doesn't give shit about its people i don't think they sure don't act like it uh most of the time
So even if it hurt them and we're in a stronger position,
could they just say screw it and ride it longer than we want to before blinking?
I don't know.
That's the only kind of variable here.
You would think not.
But you know what I'm saying, though?
I mean, I'm pro-a-all-a-a-way, baby.
So I just think, like, I agree, like, China and its people is a different culture.
Yeah.
But in that same note, are they willing to fight as hard for their culture where they're kind of like, in my mind, not a completely free population?
Not that anyone's truly free.
No.
What I'm saying, the point I'm making is, you know, Trump, Trump likes to be favored.
Look, everybody likes to be liked.
And I think he does.
He likes people in his camp.
And he likes, you know, being, like making tough decisions.
But like he likes, you know, to make people happy.
I think he wants to see good happen.
And there's more pressure on him the longer this rides out than maybe like the president of China.
Like, yeah.
Because president of China is like, no one's going to challenge him.
He doesn't care.
his people aren't going to get on X and Twitter and all the social profiles and bash him the way Trump is going to feel the pressure from our people, the longer the pain extends.
You know what I'm saying?
That's what I'm saying.
Yeah, there's definitely, I mean, yeah, freedom of speech gives people the right here to be very critical compared to communist China.
That's for sure.
Yes.
And I mean, look, Trump, look, I'm just going.
And look, I support.
I support and voted for this president, and I support him whether I voted for him not, by the way.
It's called being an American and supporting those in power as best you can.
You can disagree with decisions, but at least supporting your nation.
But I'm just saying, like, I think the pressure starts to build the longer this goes on on how long, you know,
how long can you take both sides of the pain?
The pain of the stock and the markets and all that and the pain of your people calling you out.
And because look, no one likes to boast more than Donald Trump, how high the stock market is when he's president.
How many times does he boasted that as a stat line?
A lot.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
So six months from now, if we're still sitting here, you know.
That's possible.
Yeah. I mean, I don't think that's possible either. But I'm just saying you got to the art of war is knowing every possible path, right? And know thy enemy better than thy know thyself.
So somebody may be playing these warstores or warsterners. How's all I'm saying?
I have a feeling that it's probably been pretty well looked at.
Oh, yeah.
From every strategic perspective, trade war to actual physical war, I'm sure.
We talked about this pre-episode, Chris.
What's your, I mean, Rand Paul came out and like, look, we take the BS out of business.
Like, we're here to share all sides.
Rand Paul, Republican Party, still supports Trump, says that clearly.
His argument is that, you know, free trade is good trade and that,
when someone makes a decision to sell something for a certain value,
whether there's a tariff for a percentage marked up or not,
you've decided that that was worth what you paid for it.
And Annie makes a note that he has a deficit with his own local grocery store.
Point being that grocery store has never bought anything from him.
Because that grocery store has what he needs.
He doesn't have anything the grocery store needs.
And so that's just the dynamic of that.
I think he's oversimplifying it.
Yeah, a little bit.
But I think that's the point he's trying to make, is that, you know, there's an exchange that happens.
And both sides have to agree that it's worth that at some point.
And I think he's not wrong in saying that, but I do think that there's the unintended consequences when those deficits are higher than they are, i.e. jobs in America, i.e., you know, our own goods.
and like over-reliance outside of our own walls.
Sometimes you've got to look at the bigger picture.
It's kind of my reflection on him,
though I sort of get the point he's making.
What about you?
I think, I mean, I disagree with him fully.
I think he's a member of the Republican Party,
but I think he probably has a lobbyist
for many transnational corporations
that are probably profit.
margins being affected.
Yeah.
Bottom line, this is a fight.
You either win or lose, right?
Like, we can hold it out and win,
or we can sit down and get fucked.
That's it.
He's being very short-sighted.
Oh, my grocery store, great, dude.
We need jobs.
We need to correct inflation.
I would rather pay more for American goods than keep bringing his bullshit.
The bottom line is we're the largest consumers on the planet.
No other country can even compare close to the amount of money we spend and what we buy.
So, I mean, my grandfather worked for the Danish diplomats office,
trying to literally traveled all around America to negotiate importing Danish goods
because everyone wants access to the American market.
And I've seen this in my diamond business and the NAD business.
Every single person outside of America wants to tap into America
because it's the largest consumer market, period.
Like, I'm fine with waiting it out.
Someone said yesterday, quit fucking complaining and whining.
sack it up and get on the team.
Otherwise, you're just sitting and you're making noise chatter.
Your opinion doesn't mean shit.
Rand Paul, you've been in politics for 30 years.
You haven't done shit.
You've never won shit.
Trump is the best negotiator probably on the planet.
We've all watched his entire career of negotiating, teaching people negotiate.
So that's what I'm like, we voted for this.
It's going to be painful.
We're not even six months into the presidency.
Quit being bitches and let's fucking roll.
straight up.
Like everyone wants to talk and have an opinion.
I don't hear any other solutions, right?
We know, we talked pre-show.
You know this works.
Reagan did this in his administration.
It's kind of just what you need to do.
Yeah.
All these companies...
If some point you have the rights have it,
like, oh my God,
these companies are going to have to bring back manufacturing
that's going to cost them money.
Great.
They're all profiting billions and billions of dollars.
They have the money they can do it
and they can do it very quickly
if they want our money.
that's the exchange.
We're the American consumer.
We have the power and the leverage.
Boom.
That's it.
Like military, population, spending, we are everything.
I think that that is a play is what Trump's doing here.
Because we've talked about this before.
And if you look at like the last four years, eight years.
I mean, I would even say part of it in Trump's first term.
we've sort of diminished on the world stage, even though we have dominance.
It's a really weird, you know, like on all fronts, like you just said, we have the buying power.
We have the wealth amongst our people.
We have a lot of these things that are just reality because we're a large company.
We're blessed to live here.
So I don't take it for granted.
And yet we've sort of coward on the.
the world stage a bit, like on a lot of different fronts, as if we didn't have that strength.
Ever since Obama, that's when all the self-negative talk about being American and we were
like, oh, we're the bad guys.
Like, we're the bad guys or something.
That was their agenda.
Diminishing.
And now, to your point, I think this is a, Trump's going, no, let me remind you.
I think of like a wrestler or something, you know, don't you forget, you know, who I am.
Let's get this right, you know, like, because we kind of, it's kind of like showing up at the party,
like the meek and meager.
Like, hey guys, you know.
And it's like, no, you're the confident, biggest badass of the room.
Like, it doesn't mean you need to be arrogant.
It doesn't mean whatever, but let's know your role.
as Americans know that too like everyone's playing a victim when it's like we live in the greatest
country on the planet let's act like it like that's half of our power like think about 9-11 dude think
about the patriotism after that happened right yeah it was like American pride was explosive
but unfortunately to be frank the Democratic Party has been trying to kill the Moral right
of American society and culture since it had a power since over the really.
Yeah.
And so here's what I would say.
Pick up the phone and make that deal happen with that friend that you've been talking to.
Start that company that you've been thinking about starting.
Double down on deals internally, locally, and tune all this out.
It tells me that there's not enough people taking risks because, and then we talked to us earlier,
you and I have a higher risk tolerance and that's why a lot of what he does doesn't seem crazy to me because I've been in those negotiations and those we I mean you and I know this I kind of been in one for a while now right we're sitting right now right we're going on three years basically so it's like you got to be okay with not being okay and knowing that the long term plan is is coming to formation but like my example earlier and
Nothing good comes easy, right?
The hardest things, people usually, if you ask them,
what was the biggest things in your life?
It was usually the most difficult thing that transformed them the most.
So if we're talking about a country, this is difficult, hopefully it transforms us.
If Tom start, you know, putting some skin in the game, you know,
we've got the Amazonification of everything that we do in life.
Everything's more convenient.
Everything's faster.
everything's easier.
Comfort.
And look, it's a great thing.
And those things don't have to go away.
But it's time to like ball up here and make some shit happen.
But don't cower.
Don't, you know, how much money can I start saving?
Oh, the tariffs, India, or really, how much shit do you guys buy from India?
Like exactly.
Don't let the sentiment of this.
Open your eyes.
Stop listening to the news and like,
Use your brain.
Yeah.
If you're under the age of 60 or even 65, look, we live to like 90, a lot of healthy, like,
I know that the average is probably not this, but if you're people listening to this show,
affluent, probably going to live to 85, 95, who knows 100 hope, maybe longer than that,
some of these things we talk about on five science start coming to fruition.
But you don't have to worry about the day-to-day turn of the stock market.
shut the news off, stop calling your broker, and go make that deal happen.
Don't being so afraid.
Go run that Facebook campaign to promote your business that you've been thinking about.
Because let me tell you, there's going to be money to be made,
and it's going to be for those that aren't scared to go all in.
And that's how it's always that is the American spirit.
And baby, like when things go down, that's when you jump in and ride it up.
Yes.
I mean.
Right now, like the market, right?
It's like I see, yo, if you've got free cash flow, you're buying it crazy good discounts right now.
You're buying stocks and crypto on a huge sale.
Yeah, exactly.
Everything's going to sell right now.
That's how you should look at it.
All the stuff you already bought this for 30 years from now or 20 years from now or 15 years from now is,
is still sitting there.
You didn't, it's sitting on the shelf and everything else went on sale.
That's how you need to look at it.
And you get to double your inventory while it's on sale.
And it'll be there when you get ready to sell it all.
And if you're selling it this week, I might wait a few weeks.
I get it.
But that's about 1%.
The 99%.
You know?
The panic selling when things go down is like...
It's like the dumbest thing I understand.
Every reason that you're in the market,
you turn your back from when you do that.
And it's like, whatever.
Like, I get it.
We got a lot of people that are real comfortable,
don't like the risk or...
And perceive every boogie man behind the corner that isn't really there.
and don't get you wrong.
It doesn't mean there's not,
but it's never what we spend more time on making your company better,
doing your job better,
like adding value and less time fear mongering.
And look, I mean,
nobody wants to stop market to go down.
But all of this is reactionary.
There is absolutely zero finance,
Like, what made the stock market X amount today dropping two trillion, whatever it is?
There's no financials that drove that.
It's 100% speculative.
Now, could it be financials eight months from now?
If the tariffs, of course, it could, but it's not.
It's all speculative right now.
So don't ride the fear, ride the opportunity.
It's, don't buy.
it. Don't. It is, they are selling it cheap right now. Fear is on sale for a penny. You're at the
dollar store and you would have bought a hundred pieces of it. Don't fall for it. The fear candy.
You know, it's a crazy world out there. But ride it out, baby. The art of tariff war.
It's really not even the art of terror of war.
It's just the art of war.
It's the art of negotiation.
This is a negotiation play that I think is going to favor us when it all shakes out.
Absolutely.
Everybody can just sort of chill the fuck out for a minute.
I know.
It's almost laughable.
I'm looking at the next article about tariffs affecting sneakers and jeans.
It's like you get a pair of jeans for $20.
right now if you want.
Exactly.
Like, oh, no.
Yeah, your sneakers might cost more for the next six months or a year.
Get over it.
So, in other news, UFC signs a wide-ranging sponsorship deal with meta,
bringing Mark Zuckerberg closer to Dana White.
This is a transformation that I can get behind.
Zuckerberg?
Zuckerberg.
Yeah, for real, bro.
I thought I would never care for this guy.
I like it.
I like his technologies.
I'm saying, hey, I love Instagram.
Hey, I was going to say, you made a lot of money on Facebook, brother.
You got to.
Exactly.
Gratitude.
Yeah.
I like your tech, dude.
So I just, but let's just say this.
I do like that.
I just thought I never.
I just thought he was.
Didn't think you want to have a beer with him.
And now you're like, yeah, bro.
Exactly.
Now I'm going to get a lift in and grab a brew.
I could have, I'll say this.
I could have care.
I cared less two years ago to have Zuck.
I'm smart enough as a business person that I would have, of course,
taken that opportunity.
But I could have cared less to have them on my show.
Cared less.
Now I'm like, damn, I love to talk to Mark.
You know, like, have a beer.
Come break it down.
That's an invitation, Mark.
You know, I'll get it to you.
You're busy.
You know, I'm not to eat a white, but hey,
I like this, Mark.
UFC just locked in a multi-million dollar deal with meta.
Is this just branding or the future of sports tech?
Zucks in the gym.
Dana's on the meta board and now UFC is going digital.
So here's the deal.
UFC and meta sign a wide-ranging multi-year sponsorship deal.
Meta becomes the official fan technology partner of the UFC.
Branding will appear inside the octagon.
during paper views and fight night events.
So you'll have integration across meta's ecosystem,
meta-a-I, meta-quest, meta-glasses,
Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, threads.
Obviously, if you've been watching anything
to do with Mark, he's been training.
He's literally for this.
Him and Elon Musk, right?
I think he was like entering jiu-jitsu tournaments
like anonymously, like under a pseudonym.
Met his own filing say Zuck's combat sports hobby is a business risk.
But meanwhile, he's on Rogan, the workplace could use more masculine energy.
It's like his own board is like calling it a risk.
I do.
But look at what a change.
This is Zuckerberg on Rogan.
He said, having a culture that celebrates aggression has its own merits.
I tend to agree.
A quote that I never.
thought I'd hear, but I like.
Especially from him.
So META is the official marketing partner,
AI glasses and wearables partner, and social media partner for the U.S.A.
So it's cool.
You know, Dana's already on the board of META.
Said,
Meta is going to blow away fans.
Say, what's not part of the deal?
There's the media rights.
The ESPN's exclusive negotiation window ends April 15th.
That's four days away.
You're not expected to renew early.
Meta's partnership could position UFC for future direct-to-fan or streaming plays, possibly even in VR.
That'd be kind of cool.
Hey, put those VR glasses on and be watching like a live fight.
Be like, yeah, like the fight you're wearing live, like you can.
Like, what if you go like?
Like, POV.
If you could make yourself sit like on top of the, whatever, the ring day, you're like looking down.
I mean, you'd think if they had the cameras, in theory, that could come to life, right?
I'm sure it is coming.
It's going to be as interactive as possible.
AI-based fan engagement, easier access content across all Facebook, Instagram, and threads.
More immersive and personalized experience.
So they're getting in deep here.
It's a meta strategy is embedding itself in culture through sports,
not just hardware or social media.
For UFC, it's staying ahead of the curve and fan engagement by teaming up with tech.
So as this becomes probably more of a norm.
It says it's interesting.
I can see the integration and fan engagement and experience is going to be changed.
With all this technology and different things, like we were just talking about from the AI,
to the VR experiences to social.
I mean, you could see even like the fighters and like their accounts
or the interactions with fans through meta's platforms.
See that kind of thing coming to life.
And I think the better the relationships are with really popular things like this,
the better it is for fans, you know, versus everybody's trying to become like their own media entity now.
So I'd rather people that are good at one thing, stay in their lane and partner with the others, you know, to get shit done.
So you don't have, we don't end up where it feels like we're headed sometimes with, you know, we're moving away from cable, but we're still going to have 47 channel because everybody wants to do their own thing, right?
Yeah.
I have 47 apps to watch 47 shows.
We need some kind of, I don't know, collaboration, unification, whatever you want to call it.
Are you, one to 10, UFC fan, 10 being highest.
I mean, I enjoy it, but I don't know, like, I don't follow it.
Yeah.
So I'd say, like, I don't know, 7, 8.
Yeah.
I like watching fighting stuff.
I mean, it took, I used to be, I grew up with my grandfather watching boxing.
Like, ESPN, my grandpa, I remember being like seven years old, sitting next to my grandfather.
One of my last memories of my grandfather who passed away and I was 16.
and we would have sit there and I was sitting in a chair next to him.
He had this lazy boy that was, you know, more worn out than worn out things.
And we sit there and watch boxing.
You know, he's showing me the jabs and, like, talking to his, like, Sugar, Ray Floyd, Sugar Ray Leonard, like, Marvin Hagler.
That was the days, like, 80s.
like late 80s, early mid-80s.
I remember that.
It's like about fondest memories.
And then boxing's just gone, shit, man.
It's like nobody fights the big guy.
It's got a little better here recently, but it's,
and USC's just taking it over.
It's just more exciting.
The fighters fight each other.
They're not worried about every, what's that?
More fights, too.
There's just more.
Yeah.
It's more, yeah, they have more action.
Like, every weekend, there's a UFC event.
And people love violence and aggression, you know?
But also, I think boxing just got very,
business and very rigged and corrupt and fraud and corruption.
Yeah, it became too much of a show.
Yeah.
And the UFC's made it a show.
For sure.
They've also remembered it's about the fighting.
Right.
Don't forget it's about the fight.
Yeah.
And not the buildup.
Because Roxanne's become all about the buildup, the pay-per-view and all that.
But now it's like, just getting more fights.
Tyson and Jake Paul fight, like huge buildup.
The actual fight was like,
Yeah, man.
If that was two other guys that weren't who they were,
you would have not watched one minute an ad song.
Exactly.
So they got the partnership.
We'll see how it plays out.
Tariff Talk is owning the business news, Chris.
It is.
Throw that in there.
I don't think, I think that's all we got today.
Biggest news.

Control what you can control.
But I don't want the media manipulate you one way or the other, right?
Live your life.
Yeah.
Exactly.
And look, we can't control it.
Control what you can control, right?
Yeah.
Start that new business.
Get that side hustle.
Go, go like can one foot in front of the other.
Like, keep this.
than America's about.
Like, keep moving forward.
You'll gain a lot more than money, too.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Don't let the news guide, I don't know.
Yeah, don't let them take your power.
Don't sell yourself short.
Empower yourself.
Don't let the news guide your emotions and your fear.

Chris, any final words today?
Have a great weekend, y'all.
Yeah, have a great weekend.
Stay positive.
Go start that business.
Go hug a friend.
Hug your mind.
Stop looking at the daily news and the stock market.
Go look at it in two months.
You know, like, unless you plan to cash out this week, just, you know.
Spring break.
Everything's on sale.
Everything's on sale.
That's all it is.
It's a sale.
You know, your stuff's not on sale because your stuff's not for sale.
You got to remember that.
It's like your stuff's not on sale.
It's everybody else's.
So you get to buy it on sale while your stuff stays in the closet for when it's worth for retail.
There you go.
