Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to a special edition of the Money Monday's podcast where we cover three core topics, how to make money, how to invest money, how to give away to charity. But today, we're going to dive into the topics about your body, mind, and soul. Why do you invest into yourself? This guest today, Steve Eckert, has been with us here at Operation BlackSight for the last half a decade since we first started. You can check it out at Operation BlackSight.com.

Steve was there at day one. He's actually the only instructor that's been at every single event, every single day from four or five in the morning, leading the optional workouts that he's going to explain what that means when I say optional. To the very end of the night where we're here, you know, it's 10 o'clock at night after we've just gone through the first couple days of training and we're here. So he's been with us morning, noon, and night because he passionately believes in helping people change their minds, their bodies, and their actions. By doing that, I believe in what's called the butterfly effect. If we make better humans, we make them more skilled, more competent, more trained, they will help their families, their communities, their staff, their family, their friends, etc. And the more people that are trained, I believe, that less crime will happen

because people will hopefully be more scared to commit crimes, as we've seen in certain countries where states where they know if they fuck around, they're going to find out. And we've seen it in Dallas, Texas, where there's not that much crime when people know there's open carry. And anyways, we're going to get into all these topics. So this podcast would be much different. I want to dive into this, because I want to cover this topic so important. I'm actually doing this like a rush episode. This is coming out literally this Monday.

We're filming this right now, you know, this weekend. And for me, I've just been obsessed with this because I've been seeing so many situations happen across our society. We've seen on the news. We see situations on subways. We see tragic situations where people are getting hurt or worse or getting killed that could be prevented if people were competent and not just pulling out their cell phone. and recording these terrible, terrible situations that are occurring in our society.

And so without further ado, Steve Eckert, if you can give us the quick two-minute bio so we can get straight to the money. Well, I think this has to do. This is about money, about taking care of yourself, and that's really what I do is what I consider myself is just a husband and a father. If I do those things right, all the things fall into place. That's the ultimate currency right there. Taking care of myself, taking care of my family, that is wealth.

I'm probably the least rich person that's been on this podcast, but I guarantee I'm the wealthiest that's ever been on this podcast for those reasons. because that's what I consider my profession, is a husband and a father first. And I know if I do that and get my house in order, all the other pieces are going to fall into place in business, in money, in the community, in being a leader, in impacting the community to the better ways that you're saying so that things start shifting for the positive in the country. So your wife and kids and yourself have been working out how many days in a row? My son keeps track.

It's now over four or five years, like not a single day off. Four or five years? Years, yeah. It might even be longed that by this point. We've lost track. we don't take a day off we just it's it's a daily win it's a guarantee win every day and if that's a thing that we're addicted to there's far worse things we could be addicted to people like oh you're over training and yet they're sitting on the couch and their kids are fricking fat and eating exactly

so if that's the worst thing i'm doing all day is working out like i'll take that any day the week but it's also showing my kids consider i've had injuries and torn muscles through all this it's been through corona and ups and downs we do it every day no matter what it's not even a decision to make. But it's a guaranteed win, but it's also showing them how to be disciplined, how to be consistent. They love it. We do it together as a family. There's no better way to connect. To me, that is wealthy. That's why the wealth I'm talking about. We train together seven days a week. We eat dinner together seven days a week. We come to events like this all the time, all across the country. Like, to me, that's the new wealth. That's the new flex as a damn near 50-year-old

man to still have abs and be in shape and lead my family and hang out with my family and not neglect my family to go and be successful. So a lot of 14-year-old boys like your son, are scrolling through TikTok, they're avoiding school, they're avoiding situations, and they're just kind of figure out life in their own fashion, their own way. How do you inspire him to want to be here at these events and want to be working out and want to be around his dad so often? He sees us doing it. He says, we're having fun. We're doing all kinds of cool shit. We're fighting, punching people in the face, shooting guns, getting tied up, escaping. Like, this is cool shit. This is like a playground for a young man, but when they want to go and do it

in real life. Also, he sees parents that are doing it. two parents that are doing it. Do you know, I saw a study that 89% of millionaires come from families where their parents didn't get divorced. It's wild when you think about that. So they see that and they're just following the success. Success leads clues. He wants to be like his father because I'm there hanging out.

We're having fun. We're doing everything together. When I was a kid, I looked at my father and I've got all my discipline and success and everything I've ever learned from my father because I looked at him and said, I want to be nothing like that man. So I decided to break the cycle and do things complete opposite. The blueprint he showed me. do everything the opposite my son sees that my family sees that he wants to be like me my

be the type of man that my daughter would one day want to marry if i allow her to get married because who knows there's not much of a selection out there but that that's that's like a big fear of mine like she's used to being around her brother who's a capable young man and all the all the people i bring around here she sees all these men in black sight there's not that much out there you're going to be much out there like that's what she's going to be expecting she's got pretty high standards when it comes to it. So we need to shift the way things are going to this country so that there are more young men coming out there. So she has someone worthy of even marrying when she gets older. So where did this come from for you? Like what point you decide I'm

going to become this disciplined beast? Like when did it happen? All through my life, little stages. I mean, I could say it's from a horrible childhood, seeing my father and I literally never had a single conversation with my father. I lived with him in the house until I was 19 years old. I left for the Marine Corps. Never had a single conversation. He never told me about girls or had a change a car tire nothing like literally not a conversation never threw a football to me not a single time so i knew something wasn't that's not the way it's supposed to be it didn't feel right as a young boy like where is my positive male role model so i could say it's that i could say it's when i was in jail and said i needed to turn things around i could say when i went to the marine

corps and i saw started seeing what positive male leadership and discipline was like i could say it was when it became an entrepreneur that's probably when it came close when an entrepreneur you start be like oh shit this is what resilience is this is how a man deals with pressure but probably not until my first son was born. And now that you're like, I always think more good men have to have kids. I think that's our purpose is to have children. So I was running a business in New York. I was working seven days a week, doing everything, cleaning the toilets, training all the clients, doing all the sales, the marketing, the follow-up. And I came home on a Sunday one at like 10 p.m. And I didn't see my son. He was only a few months old. And he happened to be awake. And my wife was like, oh, he's awake.

You never get to see him. He's awake because you're working all the time. And she handed to me, she took a picture. And she put the picture on the fridge. And she saw that as like this cool thing. But for me, that was like that snap, that aha moment saying, you know what? Even though I'm trying to build this empire, all my kid knows is there's neglect. A father that's not home. Just like my father wasn't there. He's just going to see that. A father's not here.

He doesn't give a shit if I'm going to make millions of dollars if I'm not there to lead him and spend time with him. So that moment when she took that picture, I was like, oh shit, I got to start shifting things and do things a little different, not just, yeah, I want to be obsessed and make a shit ton of money, but I'm not going to do it at the expense of neglect of my son and my family. And that was like where the trajectory changed on the disciplines. So you've had tens and tens of millions of views, if not hundreds of millions of views on social over the years

because some of your videos go very, very viral, creating this content about your real life in a lot of situations and even when your kids are going through training here at Operation BlackSight, you have a lot of options. You could be working on a lot of different things in the personal training space. Why this? Why Operation BlackSight? Because of the things we just talked about. It's so meaningful. Letting my kids experience this and see their parents go through this and be around just amazing people all the time. We come into the ranch.

Someone said it yesterday in one of the speakers. It's like a sacred event. It's like a sacred place. It's a different feel, a different vibe, a different aura. Like, you show up here. It has that like that gravitas feeling when you come to Operation BlackSight. And my kids can feel that. And they know this is how man operates.

This is how successful people operate. These are the things to think about to become not just a provider but a protector, but a disciplined, purpose-driven human being that just makes everyone around them better. That's what a leader is. That's what a father is. Working on yourself every day. get better but making all the people around you better and they see that and i know that they're going to they're going to far surpass anything i did like when they're older like a hundred times

more they're going to accomplish than i ever did so that right there doing events like this like it's it's just amazing like you can't beat it so today i noticed that there's exactly 50% members here for operation black site that are women and men why do you think it's important for women to go through training like this to learn how to shoot how to fight how to escape I think it's a few parts of that. And on the surface, we think, and it is because they see crazy things happen, like the girl in the subway, the little, the uterian girl. That's just, so they see things like that.

Like, I need to be more, learn how to be more situationally aware. And when I'm going through a parking lot by myself, like one of the women said, she works in Vegas and walks through a parking lot, it's just dark and rows of cars. Like, how does she navigate that? It's so much stress and anxiety, and they see these things happen on the news. I think that's the surface level, the kind of real tangible. I think it goes deeper than that. I think it's because men in general have gotten weaker and softer and the women have to become the man of the either of the family or maybe they're a single parent because the divorces are so high like I said earlier and they have to take the role of a man they might not even want to they should learn these skills too but they should be learning alongside their man as a unit you rarely see them they come with their husbands one did and and he stayed at the hotel that's and I'm just I'm just someone that's not going to pull any punches and tell you.

like it is she showed up with her husband he should be going through this with her so sure if she stayed in the hotel under the warm covers while she was out here in the rain crawling in the mud so that right there is the answer right there like they're forced to step up into this role and it's even in a marriage even want some that are married but then of course with divorce rates and single mothers they they're they have to like who's going to do it they need to they're forced to be in that masculine role unfortunately and they can't really be their true womanly feminine self all the time so they're forced to do it but on top of that they should do it but i think with as a family unit like we do we try to show them this is possible for a family it's possible to do shit like this together it's

possible to not get divorced it's possibly happy and have fun and live a life you don't need a vacation from together as a unit with your kids with your spouse with your family all together and now you now we have a fucking army we're four of us thinking like this in the family not just one person it's a it's a superpower coming to something like operation black sight so there's people out there that are listening over the years that are wealthy and they've built up wealth they've invested they've built their businesses maybe they've sold a business and they've got this career they've got this capital but when they go home their kids don't respect them or their wife doesn't respect them what can they do difference to try to earn that respect yeah it's the respect is huge and and it needs

to be re-earned every day and the Marine Corps we say you have to earn the right to be a Marine every day you have to earn the right to be a husband every day you have to earn the right to be a father every day. Just because you have kids doesn't make you a father. Just because you don't have kids doesn't mean you can't help father and lead other kids. Like I think Grant Cardone said at one time, and of course he's massively successful. Everyone wants to be rich like him and have the private jets. But he said one time that he only needs like one day a week with his daughter. And then I heard someone recently say it like some one of the big gurus online and a lot

of followers, very successful said he needs only 20 minutes with his kids. And after that they're telling him to kick rocks. And that's all he needs a day. Like if I only spent 20 minutes from my kids a day, it makes me sick to my stomach to think of only spend 20 minutes. And if they wanted to only spend 20 minutes a day with me, that tells me I'm doing something wrong. I'm not leading them and not connecting with them the way they should. Like, are you kidding?

They want to hang out all day. Like, I judge my success, yet not on the bank account only. That helps, of course. But I judge my steps on the footsteps of my kids when I come home and in the door. Or even when I'm going to my office. My daughter knows them that do not disturb is on the sign and the room in my office. She hears when my door opens up. and I hear those footsteps running like a machine gun.

That's how I judge my success. How fast are my kids' footsteps running towards me when I come home from an event if they're not with me? I come out of my office. I come back from work. So it's really that intentional attention that they're giving. Attention is the new currency. Our time and attention is more powerful than any money.

I know so many successful, rich, if you want to rich people that are very poor when it comes to the wealth of their family. They're out of shape. They're unhealthy. Their kids look at them and be like, yeah, the money's cool, but I want to be nothing like that fucking person because they're out of shape, they're fat, they're not spending any time with me. I don't like, I don't necessarily want to be like them.

The money doesn't mean shit. I have a saying, FYPJ, fuck your private jet. Like that's the way I, if I, if in order for me to get a private jet, do I believe I can work hard enough with my work ethic and discipline to get a private jet? Abs so freaking looting I can. But if it means having to only spend 20 minutes a day with my kids, fuck your, you could keep your private jet. I don't want it.

I don't need it. I spend more time in my kids than anyone I know. still are able to come to events like this, run my business from home. I personally homeschool my kids. So it's the attention they're giving their kids with intention, the presence. Presence is a currency with your kids. I'm investing in my kids. This is the money Mondays. I'm investing my kids by coming to things like Operation BlackSight and letting them see it and feel it and experience it. Like that's an investment right there. People don't invest in their kids enough. They invest in the, yeah, the investments that you talk, we need to invest in the money and

make a shit ton of money also. They invest in their employees and their team. and their sales team and all this other stuff and marketing, but they're not investing in their kids. They need to take that, flip that script and bring orders to the chaos in the house. To get their house in order, and I guarantee everything else just is elevated and becomes better for that. Like their mind needs to be totally reframed about, like my number one business. So I said, when I said, what do I do is I'm a husband and a father?

That is it. That's my number one job. There's no more meaningful, and now you know it too, and I love it that you're experiencing it. there's no more meaningful, impactful career you could have as a man. Like that is our purpose on this planet as a man is to have kids and lead them well and leave this spinning rock better than we found it. So I think they're just not giving them attention. Their priorities are just out of whack.

They think providing is enough when it's really the attention and intention they need with the time they're spending with them. Yesterday I flew 16 hours from Dubai and I had Ariana on my chest and her sleeping and I just put my phone on her butt and I was, boom, typing, typing, typing, typing, typing, typing, for it must have been four, five, six, seven hours of the 16-hour flight, she just stuck on my chest. And that was my favorite moment of the whole...

It's just going to say, it doesn't get any better than that. Nothing. Doesn't get any better than that. Like, I don't need to bring a baby to a wedding in Dubai, but I need to bring a baby. I need to bring a baby. I don't need to, but I need to. Yeah, that is amazing.

I want her around all the time. I'm obsessed with it. Okay. So, women's out there, and she's married to successful. man. But he's lazy. He doesn't work out. It definitely doesn't know how to fight. He's never shot a gun in his life. What can she do to get her man to go out there, whether it's go to something like Operation BlackSight or at least go to the gym or go to martial arts studio or

gun range in their local town? Yeah, crazy that we have to now say it from that. Usually it's like the man has to try to bring the woman along for riding the rolls are reversing, which is crazy. But she needs to be straightforward, direct and honest with him. about the losing respect that she's having like and imagine a, imagine a woman tells a man that she's losing respect for him. Like, if that's not enough to make you get your shit together and stop being fat and go and take care of your, go read a freaking book, come to do something like Operation Blacksite, like, she needs to be straightforward with him and let him know, like, what she expects as a man, what she should rightfully so expect from a man that's

the leader of the home and of the house. It's just a community. And they don't do it because it causes too much friction and too afraid to rock the boat. But why would you, like, if you are not happy with something, do something about it, communicate it, bring something up. And if he doesn't do something about it, then that kind of gives your answer right there. So tomorrow morning, it's 4.15 a.m. the alarm clock goes off. It's raining outside and you're under the warm blankets. What motivates you to not push that snooze button to take those blankets off and to go outside and work out in the rain? those footsteps that I said and I know and it's right there alongside my kids they're right

there and guess what if I didn't get up you know who's going to say what are you doing my kids first one my son will be there if I ever tried to it would I would never let it happen mainly for that reason I know those little eyeballs are on me George Patton said you're always on parade when he's talking about like in the military how you conduct yourself there's always eyeballs watching you shit when you were a father you were on parade 24-7 whether your kids are with you or not even if they're not with me, I'm going to get up and do the same thing. I'm going to train my ass off even more because I know sometimes, all right, no one's going to know I can get away with it.

That's what leadership really is. That's what integrity really is. Who are you when you're by yourself? How do you deal with shit when you're by yourself when it's easy when the eyeballs are on and your kids are making you go into it? That's easy. What about when you're by yourself? It's that same mentality thinking, all right, I'm not a big woo-woo tree-hugging freaking

person, but I believe if I'm not doing the things I'm telling my kids to do just because I can get away with it and no one's going to know about it and they won't know if i don't train my ass off today i'm a believer that the universe will send that little butterfly effect out there and completely change the trajectory of our relationship and the trajectory of their life offers some stupid little thing like that like i have to i must because those freaking kids are my legacy and if i don't be if i'm not a man of my word i deserve all the worst that's going to come to me all right so on the podcast we normally talk about you know how to make money how to invest money had to give away the charity on the charity side why do you think it's important for the family

household to see you the man do some type of philanthropy doesn't have to be financially but go out there whether it's helping the homeless helping at a children's shelter an abuse shelter a senior citizen home etc what is it about doing some type of philanthropy that is important for the household yeah they it's manufactured adversity pretty much they i do everything i can like i said to break the cycle to give them an awesome life but if all they have is an awesome life they don't know about adversity. They don't know about, like, homelessness and things like that. When you teach them about all that, they're not going to appreciate shit.

They're not going to, they're going to be entitled little brats like the majority of people out there. So I push them and press them and expose them to things like this. Like we're actually doing a 24-hour workout a week from today. Next Saturday, 24 hours. We're lifting weights for 24-hour straight. No breaks. What? 24-hour.

Yeah. It's the third time we're doing it. Explain this. You do a set. Chest press. Just like you would at the gym. You put it down. You go to your set of squats with the weights with the,

weights you put it down and we keep track of our weight we do it for 24 hours no sleep 24 hours we've done three times this a third time and we're doing it for a fundraiser a young guy that we know just died and his family now he needs we're doing a fundraiser to raise money for the family and this is how we do it and show them like we you must suffer and appreciate the and not just be entitled for and we've done them before for big brothers big sisters for american heart association for autism 24 hour workouts all the time different variations of them we have one coming up a week from today it's to show them like you have to you have to you have to You have to realize what adversity is.

You have to teach them adversity. I call it manufactured adversity. Otherwise, they'll grow up and when life kicks them in the freaking teeth, they're not going to know how to deal with it. They're going to be used to just, oh, daddy just would take care of it. But daddy will hands me. Oh, hell no. You're going to earn that shit.

All right. We are in the wealthiest society in history. Gold is up. Bitcoin is up. Stock markets, real estate's up. Trillions and trillions and trillions of dollars have been pumped into our society because math and time compounds. a father and wife have raised their two kids and they're wealthy and now they're 18 years old

how can they instill some toughness into that child before they turn 18 so they don't go off and face reality out there in society and they were just soft the whole time because they lived in a mansion and had you know fancy caviar all the time yeah like i said they're going to earn everything my kids when they want something yeah birthdays and that they'll get little things here but they want something in between they're going to earn it they're going to work for it they help they help me where they're homeschooled so they do their regular things to learn that we consider their homeschooling but they help us with businesses they run payments they run P&L reports they do all kinds of shit like that they create sales pages and social media content and reply to messages

and things like that they're constantly in the business so they have to see what it's like how what is a struggle like they see when you get refunds and what it fucking stings and they're like oh shit They need to know what that feels like, and they feel it because now they know they're not going to get rewarded. If you, all right, well, why did they get a refund? What do we do to make that refund come in or whatever? What do we need to do to make more money? Well, we didn't create good enough content. We didn't send out good enough emails. We didn't have good enough follow up and they see what I'm doing. And so they're coming right along for the ride. Again, we're manufacturing diversity. They're working in the business. I think that's a superpower when, and my wife, we all work together. The whole family technically works in the business.

We all come here together. If you can have a business, entrepreneurship with your spouse, and then also get your kids involved, like I think that is a superpower. I really have nothing to ever worry about. We could have a bad month, a bad year, a bad decade, but knowing that your family has your back and they're all in it together, they feel it. It's something that they have some pride in

and they take ownership in. And when they become adults, it's just another day at the office dealing with the adversity. Like I talked about today, that the different seasons of life and holding the line through the success and the failures, they're seeing it. They've seen me go through tons of failures regularly.

And they see how, oh, this is how a man deals with setbacks and adversity. He doesn't crumble under pressure. He doesn't start acting like an ass. He doesn't, they don't get divorced. They come together and figure it the fuck out so that they can now go back into that harvest season and go back to dominating. And they know it's going to come around again. And again, there's going to be the ups and downs. We cut the peaks and valleys. They're right alongside with us. When they become adults, again, they're going to achieve a thousand times more than I ever could. So you also train with Squire program with Bejros Kulian. Explain Squire program and the whole concept behind it. Yeah, it's a father,

son experience. We just administer it. It's just to help help the fathers to connect more with their sons so that we can my really really the real reason why I am so invested in Squire program is that my daughter hopefully one day will have someone worthy to marry because again like we said before there's not going to much of a selection. And I didn't have that connection with my father as a kid at all, zero. So to go in there and instill some of this stuff in and kind of wake some of these fathers up sometimes, they think they think they're bringing their sons there for their son yeah he's whatever trouble we don't really connect much and he's whatever not disciplined and they come in fat out of shape you see the way they interact with them the little side hug they're

kind of the body language that's not there and it's really just as much for the fathers as is the sons we want i want i want to i want to more fathers to experience the father and and child connection especially the father's son bonding connection that me and my son have because there's no again no greater profession in the world as a man and a lot of men miss out on their absent in the home even when they're home they're not there they're stressed about work they're stressed about money and it's running running and ruining their their life and their in their marriage and their family so you have one of the best mindsets I've ever seen in my life when I interview and interact with so many thousands of people over the years what can someone do to incorporate a little bit

of Steve Eckert into their mindset get their house in order get your house in order your family in order, set a date night, like I have a date night set every week with my wife. Then I have a one-on-one meeting, like actual work meeting, professional meeting with my son every week, on the calendar recurring every week. I have a one-on meeting with my daughter. We have a family meeting. Every Sunday, it's like one of my favorite parts of the week. I sit there for an hour and plan my week. Then we get together for another hour of the whole family. We have a family meeting. We go over our gratitude. We go over our victories. We go over our struggles for the week. We give feedback to each other. And then we set our plans and what's upcoming for the next week.

and we start planning and preparing for the next week. So that's getting the house in order to me. Getting the house in order, getting the family on board, taking them along for the ride. If I go just to things like BlackSight by myself and read and study and get coaches and mentors and don't take the family along for the ride, I'm going to start out developing them.

Now we're speaking different languages and things just crumble and fall apart. So they need to take the family along for the ride. Start one thing they could do right away that's free, have a family meeting every freaking Sunday with the family. Go back on a date night. How many men don't go? on date nights anymore with their wife and they wonder why like there's just friction and

tension. They're not just doing the basic simple things. Shit is free. Go spend the one-on-one time on the calendar with your kids. They know no matter how busy get it work, that stuff is non-negotiable. It gets done no matter what. If we're at an event or something, we'll reschedule it, but those things are getting done. So getting the house in order and showing up in the home with presents, with fire, with energy, with the same enthusiasm and passion and obsessiveness they put in the business, treat your family like the business. Show up like the leader you show up in your office. We go and work

and then we come home and they get the leftovers. So show up with the intention there and it will change the whole rest of all other areas of life. It'll just elevate all the other areas of life. All right guys. This is one of those podcasts that it's not just about you. It's your friends, your family, your followers.
