My name is Russell Brunson, and I'm what you call a serial entrepreneur, but with a twist.
You see, 50% of my time, I'm the CEO of ClickFunnels, helping over 100,000 brands to grow their companies with funnels.
And the other 50% of my time, I'm actually in the trenches using ClickFunnels to grow the startups I believe in.
During this podcast, I'll take you behind the scenes and show you how we are bootstrapping ClickFunnels
and my other businesses from startup to nine figures and beyond.
Welcome to the show.
The Bible is the ultimate success book.
And I think that success in itself is a spiritual outcome.
Wealth is also a spiritual outcome today i'm here with one of my favorite people on this planet something who i love and
admire and someone who's been a huge friend in my life but also like a mentor and someone i've had
a chance to work with a lot teaching marketing and sales and persuasion the man the myth the
legend of her hands together mr myron golden thank you you can always make up and leverage what you lack in ability.
Thinking that you know is the enemy of learning.
How would you take that framework and lay it on a brand new entrepreneur who's coming in trying to figure out how to be successful?
You think that the people that you serve are not doing the thing because they don't know how.
And so you teach them how, and then you're frustrated when they still don't do it.
In order for you to live the life you desire,
you have to realize that,
people say, I lack access to funding.
No, you don't lack access to funding.
You lack awareness of the access you have.
I've been talking to our audience
about all these different books from Napoleon Hill,
and Elston Lincoln Benedict, and Dale Carnegie,
and all these people already, and all those guys.
But there's one really good book that I think most people wouldn't even consider it a success book.
They would think it's a spiritual book.
And one of the things I love about you is when I first started getting to know you,
you come to our events and you would do these Bible studies in the morning with people.
And then you had a podcast about these things.
And it was talking about the Bible, but from a different lens,
not just like the spiritual side, but the actual success principles found inside the bible
so i would love to first talk about that a little bit like because most people don't look at the
bible as a success personal development book and i feel like you more than anyone every time you
pull something out you're like did you realize it says this i'm like you never thought about it that
way before so i love here it's how you how you look at the bible as a book i think it's the
ultimate success
book because everything God created, he created to succeed. He created the wind to blow, it blows.
He created a grass to grow, it grows. He created dogs to run and bark and they run and bark.
God made the sun to shine and it shines. So the Bible is the ultimate success book.
And I think that success in itself is a spiritual outcome. I mean, even I'm going to say something
that people are going to disagree with, but that's okay. I've studied it and they'll get a chance to catch up on wealth is also a spiritual
outcome, which most people don't think about that. Most people think about wealth as being
materialistic, but wealth is not materialistic at all. In fact, the only reason money has a value
at all is for two reasons. Number one, the message it carries. Number two, the faith that it creates
a hundred dollar bill has nothing backing it except the fact that people believe it's worth a hundred dollars so even
wealth itself is a spiritual outcome there's a whole lot of other reasons than that but should
those to name a few yeah it's so interesting so my question for you that is most people would say
like okay so this there's this huge book there's old testament new testament like where in there's
the success principles but i know the very first time we started talking, you were like, well, let's start Genesis chapter one.
Exactly.
I want to like, I'd love for you to talk about that just so that somebody can literally open page number one of the Bible and read it, but read it through different eyes.
Because I had read it dozens of times before I talked to you about it.
And then you framed it differently.
And I went back.
I was like, oh, the whole time it was there and I missed it.
So like you were saying yesterday, when you were growing up, you thought bookstores were stupid, right?
Yeah.
So I thought reading was hard for me.
And so therefore, it wasn't something I liked.
In fact, I was 16, almost 17 years old.
I was a month away from my 17th birthday.
I had never read a book that wasn't a comic book or a karate book in my life.
Comic or karate.
Right.
And so a friend of mine, after I came to Christ, he says to me, he says, you need to start reading the Bible.
I was horrified.
I wasn't like, I wasn't like, I was like, you mean that big, thick book with two columns, little bitty words and no pictures?
I got to start reading that?
It was like, uh, okay.
And I started reading it, but I was blown away that even reading the Bible, King James Version, Old English, the these, the thousand, the thou shalt nots, it just blew me away how practical it was. I'm like,
this is the Bible? I'd never read it. I'd gone to church my whole life, but I'd never read the
Bible. Now I'm reading the Bible and I'm like, it tells me if I do this, I can expect this.
If you do this, you can expect that. I'm like, okay, cool. So Genesis chapter one,
there are so many success principles in Genesis chapter one. It's almost like God gave us a week
and said, if you don't get to chapter two, you're almost like God gave us a week and said,
if you don't get to chapter two, you're going to be okay. Right? So what do I mean by that?
So the very first verse in the Bible says, in the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth.
So when I, when I read that, let me, let me back up a little bit. If you're going to study the
Bible and you want to know what it says, you can't, you can't inject your own meaning into it. You
have to like draw meaning out of it because
it can only, it only says what it says and only means what it means. Right. And so in order for
me to understand what it's saying, I need to like look up the definitions of the word. I need to
read words. I need to read it in context. And I need to understand there's a principle called the
law first mention, because God doesn't change. However, you mentioned something the first time
that's his original design for that thing. Okay. So that's a really quick synopsis on that one.
So just chapter one, verse one in the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. Well,
if you read that slowly enough, you can see that God established a platform in the very first
word, wording, the very first verse in the Bible in the beginning, that's time God created the
heavens, that space and the earth that's matter. Oh, so our lives are governed by the boundaries of time, space, and matter.
We can only have freedom inside the boundaries of time, space, matter.
So God set up the platform.
Well, interestingly enough, the first thing that God tells us about God is that he's creative.
But the first thing he tells us about man, when I say man, I'm talking about men and women.
The first thing he tells us about man is that he made us in his image,
which means he created us to create stuff and he made us to make stuff.
So that's cool.
First thing that God ever said to man when he talked to like,
first thing God tells us about God is that he's creative.
First thing he tells us about man is that he created us in his image.
And then the first thing he ever said to man was this.
Be fruitful, multiply, replenish
the earth, subdue it, and have to make it.
Okay, cool.
So how's that a success principle?
Well, be fruitful.
What's a fruit?
A fruit is a living organism whose seed is in itself.
So when God said be fruitful, he was saying to the man, you produce on the outside based
on the aspect of my creativity that I planted inside of you.
Okay, so I'm supposed to make sure what God put in me shows up outside of me. Okay. Got it.
Be fruitful. Well, you wouldn't say be multiplied because that would be a dumb sentence. It wouldn't
make any sense. Multiply is a do. It's something you do. What does multiply mean? It means to
increase. So be fruitful. Do multiply. Do replenish. Replenish means to fill up. Do subdue.
Subdue means to trample down.
And that's kind of confusing.
Why do you tell me to produce on the outside, increase, fill up the earth, and then trample?
Well, because God understood something back then about success that we don't even understand 6,000 years later.
And that is disruption always follows intention.
When you decide to do something good, the first thing that shows up is
something difficult. It even happened in Genesis chapter one, in the beginning, God created the
heaven and the earth. That's the intention, was the disruption. And the earth was, or it became
without form and void and darkness upon the face of the deep. That was the first thing that showed
up was disruption. And then, and this is part of the productivity sequence here in Genesis chapter
one. So you have to start with intention but then disruption follows intention.
Then the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
You have to find inspiration after
disruption follows your intention
and God said let there be light.
Now after the inspiration you still need
illumination. You need to learn something that you didn't
know so you can see something you couldn't see
so you can do something you couldn't do before.
It's all
a function. So part of the reason I think that this happens in my brain when I'm doing this is because I can't read fast.
Right?
So because I'm reading so slowly, I'm seeing connections.
And I've read the Bible a lot and memorized a bunch of verses.
And so I'm starting to see connections between all these different principles.
And so be fruitful, do multiply, do replenish, do subdue, and then you can have dominion.
Well, so if you look at the action words in that verse, be, do, do, do, have, be, do,
have, that's a success formula.
How's that a success formula?
Because most people can't succeed because they're focused on the having.
I want to have.
But you can only have rightfully the things that you're willing to on the having. I want to have, but you can only have
rightfully the things that you're willing to do the right thing in order to have.
So what happens is we say, okay, I really want to have this. I'm going to do this thing
that I don't really want to do, but I'm going to go try to do it anyway. And then we bump our head
on our insufficiency and stubborn to our insignificance. And what happens is we can't do
it because I believe, and you probably would agree with this, I think,
and even if you didn't, I just said you do.
But I believe that every human being is already doing 100% of everything
they can do who they are right now.
So in order for you to do more than you've been doing,
you've got to become more than you've been being.
And that's the ultimate, the whole.
Think about it.
Moses asked God, what is your name? He said, I am that I am. So God's name is being I am.
So our ultimate objective is to become more than we've been being and to become,
be becoming more like God. That's a whole thing. That's the whole thing in a nutshell.
And so when I read that and I start applying that principle, be, do, have,
don't be, can't do, can't do, can't have.
Be a little, do a little, do a little, have a little.
Be a lot, do a lot, do a lot, have a lot.
And those are just a couple of the success principles in Genesis chapter one.
So cool.
I want to like, hopefully you guys are like me, probably watch this video 200 times.
And I actually, I want to sketch out like everything you said, like slow down so I can like see it.
I would love if you could like, let's talk about a very practical example.
And so somebody who is an entrepreneur, they want to start a business whatever it is
and they want to be successful how would you layer on those principles and some because we know
both you and i work with entrepreneurs every single day sure we want to speak people want to
sell like how would you take that framework and laid on a brand new entrepreneurs coming in trying
to figure out how to be successful yeah i think i think being has a lot to do with
believing right you are you're going to behave like you believe yourself to be you're going to
behave in ways that are consistent with how you believe yourself to be and what happens is people
try to change their behavior but keep their beliefs the same. I was telling some folks yesterday,
you think that the people that you serve are not doing the thing because they don't know how.
And so you teach them how,
and then you're frustrated when they still don't do it.
Because believing that you can
and that you should and that you will
is more important than learning how.
If you learn how, but you don't become the person,
you'll never do it.
But if you become the person, and you don't know how,
you will figure it out.
So it's all about your perceptions.
It's like money is just one aspect of success.
It's not everything, but it's certainly important, right?
And I think a lot of people don't realize
that in order for you to live the life you desire,
you have to realize that you don't lack access to people say, I lack access to funding. No,
you don't lack access to funding. You lack awareness of the access you have.
There's a difference between lacking access and lacking awareness. And most people,
they think that because they can't see something that it's not there.
Well, I've got news for you.
A lot of the stuff you can't see is there.
And a lot of the stuff you can see is not there.
And so you've got to learn to believe more in reality than you do physicality.
That's why we can fly planes.
You think about a 747.
Now, this is the dumbest idea any human being ever came up with.
747.
It's got four engines.
It weighs fully loaded, 987,000 pounds with people and fuel.
That's almost a million pounds.
They have to fill the tires with nitrogen because nitrogen gets cold under pressure to keep the tires from blowing out on the plane lands. And this thing can fly like three miles, five miles in the sky at five, six, 700 miles an
hour.
That thing has so much power.
I mean, like what's more powerful than a 747?
You know what's more powerful than a 747?
The invisible air that holds it up.
And see, somebody believed more in the power of the air than they did in the power of gravity
and that's why they were able to discover the principles of flight does that make sense yeah
so i got i got a little bit eeky there but i do it sometimes i love it if you're talking about
the first thing is is understanding not the the how but like the being it's actually interesting
i was thinking about this like how many years ago the very first time you came to boise and we
stayed in this hotel eight years eight years ago yep but we go to inner circle was in this hotel and
you came to inner circle you went to the event and i remember years later you told me like you
changed my life and i was like what was it what was the principle i taught you was it was it the
funnel was it the whatever whatever i mean you told me it's fascinating was like no it wasn't
any of those things i'm like oh i thought you know i thought that was what the thing and you're like
no it was it was you put me in this room and like i started believing in myself again and started believing that i could do and it was
like the shift for you was not like here's this how-to nugget you need it was the belief in you
and there's a value yeah of what was already inside of me there there were so many people
like when we used to do like those walk and talks we used to do those like everybody shares what
they do and i'd stab and share and i was the brokest person in the room and everybody acted like my ideas were best ideas
they've ever seen I'm like okay so you created an environment in which I could discover who I
really am I hope that I don't know if that makes sense or not and so what happened was I realized
just by being in the room with all these high-level people there that I mean there were kids making a
like hundreds of thousands of dollars a month back then and now they make more than that but
I was just I'm like like why do they think my ideas are great and they're making more money
than me well because they knew who they were assigned to and I spent so much of my entrepreneurial
life seeking to serve the people who needed it and not the people who
wanted it.
Because here's the, here's the strange paradox of life.
The large majority of people who need the transformation don't desire it.
And the large majority of people who desire the transformation don't really need it.
Hmm.
And that's really kind of hard for us to wrap our minds around, but it would help these
people so much.
But here's what I discovered.
If you try to save people
and you try to rescue them from themselves it's only going to frustrate you and irritate them
so i don't know if that's helpful it's good so the first step in the success process is helping
people understand that like it's less initially about like what they want as much as like who are
they who are you becoming actually how do you so what's the best way for someone to, because I think a lot of times people get lost in that.
Like they think they're away because their whole life they've been this way, not understanding who they've actually been called to be.
So let me, let me say this first.
Let me tell you why I believe people don't step into their true identity.
Because most of our lives, we've been programmed by what I call the cultural hypnotic societal
mechanism to believe in our lie identity. What's a lie identity? A lie identity is the identity
that I got from all the people when I was growing up telling me that you're not,
right? All the things they told you your whole life, you're not, that's your identity.
So most people believe more in what they're not than they do in what they are.
They believe more in who they're not than who they are.
And so what they do, some people who desire to overcome that identity, they create what I call a my identity.
What's that?
That's when you create another fake identity.
It's still not you, but it's bigger than the identity they put upon you.
That's why you got so many people who are entrepreneurs and they're ego tripping, right?
Because they're trying to overcome their identity with a my identity.
It's not, you have to get, in my opinion,
you have to get your true identity from the ultimate identity,
which is God, because he is the ultimate I am.
In fact, even if a person is an atheist,
they have to introduce you to God before they can tell you they're an atheist.
They say, I am an atheist.
Congratulations, you told me God's name before you told me yours, right?
And so until I realize I am
who he says I am, not who you think I am, not who my parents think I am, not who my neighbors think
I am, not who my boss thinks I am, I am who God says I am. And the more in line I can become with
that identity, the more powerful I become because then I'm on assignment and I am doing the thing
that the only human
being in the history of the world can do.
And that is fulfill my assignment,
which is the ultimate success.
Yeah.
Doing the thing you were created for people that money.
Okay.
Well,
you know,
let's get you a Rolls Royce Dawn convertible,
$400,000 car,
sit in your front yard,
put a bunch of dirt in and plant some flowers in it.
It'll be an expensive flower pot, but it won't be valuable because it's not being used for
what it was created for.
And a lot of people are like a Rolls Royce Dawn and they're filling up their life with
all this dirt.
But because it makes them money and it's not aligned with their purpose, they think they're
successful.
Well, you may be rich, but you're not necessarily successful.
If you don't fulfill your purpose, you wasted your life.
Wow. This is a harder fulfill your purpose, you've wasted your life. Wow.
This is a harder thing to answer,
but like what,
like for somebody,
how do they,
because the light entity
and the might entity is so heavy
that we think that's the thing.
How do you cut through that?
Is it?
So that's why,
this is why when I teach business,
regardless of somebody's beliefs,
I always teach from a biblical perspective because if somebody is the source of
all their knowledge,
then I know not only is their knowledge faulty,
but their knowledge is also fake.
And there's a Texas colloquialism that says,
if you see a turtle sitting on a fence post,
you know,
he didn't get there by himself.
Right. And all of us to some degree are turtles sitting on a fence post, you know, he didn't get there by himself. Right.
And all of us to some degree are turtles sitting on a fence post.
And so I don't want people to think that my homie was successful and wealthy and have
a great relationship with my wife from 30, 38 years.
I don't want people to think that that's the case because I'm so awesome.
It's the case when I'm being awesome. And then when I'm not being so awesome, it's the case because I'm so awesome. It's the case when I'm being awesome
and then when I'm not being so awesome. It's the case because I got my identity from the ultimate
identity. I know who I am based on whose I am and I'm not trying to prove anything to anybody.
I believe the ultimate freedom in life is when you have nothing to hide, nothing to lose,
nothing to gain, and nothing to prove. Then and only then are you truly free.
So, and I thought you were going to ask me, so how does a person know what their purpose is?
Well, I think what we do is we discover our purpose and then we develop ourself for that purpose and then we deploy ourselves in that purpose. But where do we find the purpose in
this place? I believe that I'm going to find mine, you're going to find yours. Everybody who's
watching this YouTube video right now, you're going to find your purpose at the intersection
between your passion and your proficiency. The thing you love to do and the thing you're really
good at, X marks the spot. That is where you focus on pleasing God and serving people. If you will
find this X marks the spot, passion and proficiency. I love this and I'm really good at this and I'm
going to stay in this zone. I'm not going to get too far over here and I'm not going to get too far over there. I'm not going to get
too low. I'm just going to stay right there on the sweet spot and I'm going to seek to please
God and serve people. You will find a level of success that's incomprehensible. It's beyond
making money. It's beyond being fit and having the body of a superhero. It's beyond
like having all this knowledge and you can promulgate your esoteric
connotations and articulate superficial sentimentalities is bigger than all of
that stuff.
It's just like,
I'm living in my zone.
I am like,
like nobody can get you off kilter because you know who you are based on
who's you are.
And you're just living your life for the purpose of pleasing God and serving
people.
So when I come,
when I get around Russell Russ and I, and I believe our relationship
has always been this way.
Like I'm not trying to get anything from you.
You're not trying to get anything from me.
Like, because nothing's missing and there's so much freedom in that space.
Yeah.
So as you're talking and I hadn't thought in my head, because a lot of times we have
these passions, we don't understand like why or, and you immediately especially in the short term like why did i care about this thing
why did i go down this path i remember i had a very vivid experience um 2017 you were in the
room when this happened but um 2017 funnel hiking live it was a big event it was the first time i
launched a coaching program you me you and i were on stage and we set this you know huge record and
it was it was crazy and then that night we did a fundraiser to help save children from sex slavery. And we raised over a million
dollars. I remember after that going backstage and like crying and film this thing. And I started,
I had this like moment where I was like, Holy cow. Well, like 17 years prior, I was a 20 year old
kid. I was in college struggling. I was like, you know, my cumulative GPA in college was 2.3 so barely
passing straight straight C's you know maybe one B struggling in school wrestling as an athlete
didn't like to read didn't like to study like any of that kind of stuff and then for some reason
like there was this weird thing where I had interest in in in marketing I don't even know
why but it was just like for some reason like there was a spark and I remember listening to
tell like I was on wrestling tournaments, listening to teleseminars.
I would down these teleseminars, burn them on CDs.
I'd listen to my little CD, walk them in while we were driving, you know, to these wrestling
tournaments, eight, 10, 12 hours later.
And I was so fast, I could stop thinking about it.
And I was like, like, why would God care that I was like, for me to like learn about marketing
and funnels and all these things, you know, 17 years prior.
And also I realized 17 years later, it's later, because he planted these desires in my heart,
because I followed him and because I pursued them,
these experiences happened.
It all culminated to like,
we raised a million dollars
to help save children from sex slavery.
And then I looked out in the audience,
I saw all these other people
and all these people were doing amazing things
and they were all,
and they, because 17 years ago,
I had this weird desire to learn and go down this
path.
All these things happen later.
And I remember just thinking about that.
And I was like, cause God didn't care that I was going to learn funnels or marketing.
He didn't care that I was going to like make a potato gun DVD.
He didn't care.
Like all these things didn't matter.
Right.
I'll shop, make a potato gun DVD.
But because of that, I got the skillset, put me in the places, put me in the things to
eventually be able to do become the person that can got the skill set put me in the places put me in the things to eventually be able
to do
become the person
something like that
do the thing
yeah
and now you have
these incredible results
and helping all these
other people
figure out how to be
do it have
yeah
it's just a remarkable thing
when you know
you're in your zone
you don't have to try
to be anybody
you don't have to try
to be like anybody
you don't have to try
to prove anything
to anybody
just do your thing
yeah I think if anybody's listening it's like i think we discount sometimes
like the passion or thing that we're that we're we're sided by and i'm like i feel like those
desires are planted by god to lead you in a direction 1000 so it's like lean into those
don't be don't be afraid and really you know fight it like yeah and and don't don't try to make that
fit the idea of what you think somebody else thinks you should be doing.
Don't be like, you can't become successful being a people pleaser.
You want everybody to be happy.
Everybody's not going to be happy.
Some people are just like destined to be miserable.
It's their zone.
It's what they like.
Like, you can't please everybody.
Please God.
It's really interesting you were talking about that. About, God didn't care about me doing a potato gun. See, here's
what's really interesting. There's, I think it's Psalms 37, four. It says, delight thyself also in
the Lord. He will give you the desires of the heart. Most people mistakenly, I believe mistakenly
think that means that when you delight yourself in God, he'll give you what your heart desires.
I believe it means when you delight yourself in the Lord,
he will give your heart what to desire.
And when you desire what he desires you to desire,
then he gives you what you desire.
Wow.
That's why pleasing God is such an important part of it.
And people say, well, I don't believe in God.
That's okay.
Even if you don't believe in him, please him anyway.
And serve people.
Everything that you desire to have that you
don't have right now somebody else has if you can fix one of their problems they'd rather have
their problem fixed than the money they pay you for and that's why we are able to do what we do
and live our lives by intention instead of distraction it's a whole thing so cool man we can do this for 12 hours
and not even scratch i'm already here chapter one so probably the thing i wanted hopefully you guys
get this from this video is there's so much truth in these places that we're not expecting it right
i see so many people who fight against i'm not going to the bible because i'm not i'm not religious
i'm not religion god i don't believe like they always have a reason it's like do i understand like truth is truth like principles that that
matter and like and again i started looking at scripture through a different lens after meeting
you honestly like i hadn't i always looked like these are spiritual things they're different than
success like i thought those things were so separate it's like no like god wants us to be
successful these things are there like the principles like the map is laid out in front of
us the only thing that god ever
created that has a choice to not be successful as humans and the only reason they're not is because
they decide to do something other than the fat things that god created them for like rocks sun
can't say wow i feel like shining today what are we talking about bro right water i'm not gonna be
wet today i'm gonna be dry and maybe I'll be wet three weeks from now.
It's just like everything the guy created does what he created to do.
Except humans.
Because we have a choice.
Interesting.
And that choice is like the greatest gift that God's given us.
The choice accountability.
Like we have the ability to choose.
You know what else is really interesting?
Which it's a tangent, but it's a good one.
The difference between a choice and a decision is fascinating.
Because to choose means to pick one, but to decide comes from the Latin root de, which
means of or from, and side, which means to cut.
When you actually make a decision, you cut yourself off from any other possibility.
Like I'm cutting off all other options.
This is what I will do.
This is what my life is going to be about.
Nothing is going to stop me from being this person,
doing this thing, and I will have this outcome.
That's a decision.
Choice means I'm going to pick one.
People make choices and they change their mind
because they choose something else after they choose.
When you make a decision, you burn the ships.
There is no regression from a decision.
There's only regression from choices.
So, and what you've already heard,
I'm not going to go into the whole covenant thing,
but the whole covenant,
it's interestingly enough that the word decide means to cut,
but the word covenant also means to cut.
So when you make a decision,
you're actually entering into a covenant with yourself. And a covenant is the opposite of a contract.
A contract is an agreement between two or more individuals based upon mutual distrust. But A contract is an agreement between two or more individuals based upon a mutual distrust.
But a covenant is an agreement between two or more individuals based upon a mutual love
and trust.
And when you enter into a covenant with somebody, you're literally swearing on your life.
I'm going to give everything I have, my time, my effort, my energy, my resources, my life
if necessary to protect you and yours.
And if I don't keep my promise to you, may what happened to this animal that I sacrificed
happen to me.
That's a covenant.
A person who makes a decision,
a real decision,
a covenant decision with themselves,
they would rather die in honor
keeping that promise to themselves
than live in dishonor and break it.
Which is why you have something,
I don't have confidence.
Well, of course you don't have confidence
because you're the only person
who's ever heard every lie you've ever told.
You've broken your word to yourself so many times in the past, you can't believe a word
you say.
The root word of confidence is confide, which means to trust.
You don't trust yourself because you've been lying to yourself your whole life and letting
yourself off the hook by choosing something different after you already chose something
instead of making a decision.

about subscriptions and you keep paying for these things month after month after month? That was my wife and I before Rocket Money
came along. Literally a couple months ago, we downloaded this app and within minutes, we found
out a whole bunch of subscriptions. In fact, we had multiple Hulu payments, multiple Disney payments
from accounts that my wife had set up and I had set up and we weren't even using one of them. It
was crazy. Okay. Rocket Money is a personal finance app that helps you to find and cancel your unwanted subscriptions.
It monitors your spending and helps lower your bills so you can grow your savings.
Rocket Money showed us where all of our subscriptions were in one place.
In fact, it was crazy how many recurring payments we had that we had completely forgotten about.
With just a couple of clicks, Rocket Money canceled the ones we didn't need.
And the best part is they even monitor unusual spending activity and they alert us if our bills increase.
So I'm always in the loop. Rocket Money has over 5 million users, including my wife and I,
and has saved a total of over $500 million in canceled subscriptions, saving members up to
$740 per year when using all of the app's premium features. In fact, my wife and I,
we literally saved over a thousand dollars a month when we started using Rocket App.

All right, so for those who are watching this now are like,
oh my gosh, I had no idea that the Bible's a success guide,
and they want to follow you or even go deeper into the stuff
where it's a place people...
Oh, definitely YouTube.
I have so many amazingly interesting bible studies on youtube
and then i teach business principles i teach scientific principles and like principles of
i geek out on a lot of stuff so weirdly enough i think a part of how god created me was the fact
that this dude's gonna be so curious i can't look at something and not wonder how it works
i wonder how that works right and so when i was a kid i used to take stuff apart and i don't think i've ever told this in public but my mom was a beautician so we used to she
used to have these styrofoam mannequin heads i remember one time we got some walkie talkies
right so like i cut the bottom out of this bottom part of the face out of this mannequin head
and cut a hole for the mouth and i put a speaker inside of it and i put the walkie talkie down
inside so i can make the mannequin i just do to do all kinds of weird stuff like that because I loved putting the other model cars that I take them down in the basement and blow up a firecracker.
I can't even imagine if I had a cell phone with slow motion.
Can you imagine blowing up a model car with slow motion?
That would be the greatest thing ever.
Anyway, so so I just always wonder how things work and so i think i think part of the part of the miracle and the blessing of life is being aware
of the fact that there's more that you don't know than there is that you do know and then looking
for those answers in fact the scripture says it's the glory of god to conceal a thing but it's the
hour of kings to search out a matter.
The interesting thing about that word thing and the word matter in Hebrew, it's the same word.
It's the glory of God to conceal a thing. It's the honor of kings to search out a thing or
search out a matter. But guess what the word thing is? It's debar, which means to speak.
So it's the glory of God to hide things in his word, not from us, but for us to find as the honor of Kings, modern day entrepreneurs, in my opinion, to search them out.
Isn't that cool?
So cool.
So cool.
Anyway, I appreciate you, man.
Thanks for coming and hanging out.
I appreciate you.
Being my first official guest on the YouTube channel.
My pleasure, man.
It's going to be fun.
