 Live on a Friday here independent investor channel. My name is Ryan. Welcome to all the new Visitors to the channel and especially to the devote subscribers welcome back to the message man Too many reasons as to why we at least have to do this on a frequent basis every single Friday It is absolutely a passion of mine. It is something that I wholeheartedly believe in it is one of those things that Come time to time in the stock market. It does Allow you some ample time to breathe and understand why it is so important to stay true on your program If investing is something that you're interested in You know investing is not for everybody And I think it's it's when we start to Have that push pull with people and understanding that You need to at least look at this Okay, and you at least need to understand and start to define what it is that your potential in investing is your personal potential It's all different. There's no secret sauce or like Perfect recipe that I can wrap up in a bow and send you There's nothing in way of a stock group that I can sell you on that's gonna have you join that group and Have everything just open up like the heavens, you know I just I just got off the line somebody jumped in the broadcast studio before I went live here Shot out the ghee from UK fantastic. It's only 2 a.m. Over there. Now. Why I thought it enough man to come in Say hi to the independent investor man Ryan. It's a great stuff. It's I told him It's kind of the lifeblood as to why I do this channel And shot out to ghee over in UK man my international audience You know, I anybody who spends the time to come in Spends some time with me. He gave me the greatest compliment. He could ever give me and says you're different. I Couldn't I couldn't agree more with that sentiment. I think all too often we're charged with having common thought and It's that very common thought that I despise and I think sometimes I rub people the wrong way I really do people look at me and it's like what how do you get off man? How how is it that you get to? You know, think freely Think on your own. You know, how is it that you can't think my way? I think this way and everybody else thinks this way and that's the way that you've got to think I could be dead wrong on this thing Could be dead wrong. I don't think I am it feels awful good. I'll live my life liberated And I think I'd share that opportunity with people in whatever scale People may come to the message and they're like man, you got to get a watch this guy. Okay, he's He may not give you the the nuts and bolts to be an absolute millionaire But see the success ratio of the people who are out there professing that if you do X Y and Z You're going to end up becoming a millionaire. See, I'm here to tell you that that type of dialogue isn't really important in life It's not that doesn't matter. Okay, just like the last let's say chalk it up to January of 2021 which I've repeated many many times on my live stream as really being the Start of this kind of roll-off in the bull market in the greater stock market Now there's been some geopolitical pressures that have come to light Since that pressure has started to weigh on on markets interest rates were at about a point in 75 2% right at that time and the prime interest rate and inflation really hadn't kind of taken hold We knew that it would but we're taking the ramifications of those into 2022 So while I've been talking about the market rolling off rolling off rolling off It hasn't been here as of late until everybody kind of started to jump on the bandwagon now a 6% 6 and a half 7% prime interest rate does not help in that Effects from inflation from sending every single person that walks this fine country a check in the mail That is what exacerbates that very thing and we just went through a very very dark period in time That's what happens. That was to be expected. I felt bad. I knew I put all the money away and spend a bit of it I didn't buy that 106 inch big screen TV like I'm certain everybody else went Had a whole hog vest at Walmart for you know an hour and a half spending their entire stimulus check or whatever the hell You want to call it remedy check? Here you go. Here's a fluffy on the ass feel good Jack I don't know here. Here's what's gonna make you feel successful for seven minutes of your life because we have this COVID 19 floating around in the world. I Don't know. Did it solve anything? I don't know. It was a politically correct thing to do Which a lot of people come by into the politically correct way of doing things. That's for sure Typically like to shy away from that type of thing But what have we learned over the last 18 months or so since I've been calling this Touching on the very volatility in the stock market that we've been incurring now. I'll get to FTX. That's a that's an interesting one fantastic interview today on CNBC with regard to FTX and some of the people who Really were not highlighted During the boom of cryptocurrency They were left at bay and now they're pulling those skeletons out of the closet like CNBC is really good at bringing them on and See, I told you so I told you so see and everybody's like I didn't make crypto It was going up every day, man. It was going up for 10 years. It was it had staying power. I had to invest in it, right? No No, it doesn't it doesn't work that way But my friends what I have been pretty open and honest with sharing with you guys over the last 18 months is that Selling has been off the table All right Independent retail investors that walk around with clout Mm-hmm, they walk around with clout because they understand that Doing what it is that is opposite in in markets isn't something you always have to do But it is absolutely something you need to monitor and really sit back and ask yourself Is is now the time where I need to kind of maybe take some strategic stabs here This week has been Incredible I consider it a rubber bound rebound. I'm not putting a whole lot of credence It's nice to see the portfolio take a little bit of retrieve because it has Most schools of thought would suggest that we will enter into a recession in 2023. I Do want to talk a little bit about what I Defined to be recession as Can you? Can you define what it is you think recession is all about is it about? 1920 standing in a bread line Waiting for your half a loaf of bread or quarter loaf of bread and Your half gallon of brown water so you can survive. Is that what it's like? Are we capable with this civil society to even consider ourselves eligible for a recession guys? Let's be real most of us have such a level of patting on our ass that We wouldn't even allow ourselves physically to enter into a recession now mentally Mentally most people are bitches Like that they'll spend, you know four dollars instead of two dollars for the Romaine lettuce and lose their frickin mind and they'll come Talk to all their friends about it and they'll hop on the phone and start FaceTime and everybody with their $1,200 phone and Start to talk about how shitty the country is and how we're going to hell and everything sucks And we must be moving into a recession because CNBC tells me that we are I would challenge the fact that If I lose a few percentage points in my portfolio, that's that's not justification enough to consider that to be a recession All right Now if my family is out on the street Okay If I need to buy a tent for my family to keep the water off my head If I'm struggling to provide food water Shelter I've got survival skills You guys know man and a lot of this younger generation man You need to get some of them survival skills so you can expand your range of what you think is acceptable standard of living and life, okay Because I tell you what I don't know if you guys can agree with me, but I look around and I'm like I've got 2100 square foot apartment here four bedrooms central air and the greatest city in the United States If not one of the top five in the world Am I suffering from a recession Am I going to invest differently because I enter into 2023 because everybody and the pundits out there say that because we're at Six and a half percent of an interest rate and inflation is still rampant and out of control That we have to enter into a recession Most of the analysts out there don't even know when we would actually enter into a recession Until we emerge from said recession boy, isn't that a position of convenience to be in to actually deem a period of time recessionary But not have the ability to actually determine when we are in said recession. I don't know I don't know in 2022 I work my ass off not to suffer I work my ass off. I've made sacrifices to make sure that my Level of employment and security within that employment to solid I know there's tradesmen. I see shaded light in the house. Great to see Eric Some of these tradesmen some of these hard workers. This is who I represent man. I Can represent the white collar white collar work hard, too. I don't care. I don't care what you do I don't discriminate you work hard if you have a motivation to get the hell ahead Because you have identified same as me that you've got one shot to get ahead Go whip that ass. I don't Go whip that ass. I don't have a lot of I don't have a lot of sympathy for people who don't want to get ahead and Always seemingly get kind of tired from holding their hand out I mean try try holding your hand out for an extended amount of time. It'll start to hurt and It should irritate you enough to where you're like, you know what? I'm kind of tired to hold my hand out all the time I'm just gonna put it down and I'm gonna refocus that energy on maybe. I don't know maybe putting my hands to work I don't know swing a hammer build some shit. I don't know go do something productive for the world You want to retire at 25 right on man. You better do something productive if you're gonna earn some respect from me You know, what did you do with your life? What did you do? Can you look back over your life and say I retired at 25? However in accordance with what Ryan charged me to I really did contribute to society in the greatest of way I can shoot contributed a B and C this that and everything else people who knew me Really really were impacted in a positive way You know come on Nobody's that magical Take you a lifetime to do great things a lifetime. That's this young generation doesn't get I don't get it. I don't want to work People on YouTube are telling me that I don't need to be part of the rat race They don't know the first effing thing about what the rat race is. All right, you know That's hard work. That sounds terrible We have an issue within the United States military actually getting people to come into the organization Organization one of the one-fifth of this organization that I love Wouldn't trade it for nothing Wouldn't in reflection have even an iota of regret for doing what it is that I do Well, I know people who have walked the walk or are walking this said path to self-righteousness And retiring a multi-trillionaire. I guess I don't know. I think probably a lot of people would have you believe That it's that good I think financial security on the back end is much more multifaceted I mean, I I think so many bars of gold that you have stacked up in a room or However many stacks of 10 000s of dollars that you could have Um, can only can only get you so much benefit All right You know I challenge you try to try to find a partner that you can hang out with all the time and be happy with If you found that you're good to go You can tune in to me for bonus time, baby bonus. You can be like, yeah, I got five I had the lottery man. I'm good. I didn't win 1.6 million billion dollars But um, you know, I've got somebody who I can hang out with I love hanging out I love traveling with and it's good to go. Um, maybe I don't know we've procreated and multiplied ourselves And I don't know we've two x star family. I don't know that's great. I have a couple kids. It's good stuff Yeah, it's entertaining. It's where it's at. No doubt about it Uh, you're getting me on a Friday evening with some serious perspective, man, and um It was uh Nothing short of apparent to me walking down 5th right now in downtown Manhattan today on Veterans Day Um, I do want to take this opportunity and thank all the veterans out there um I you know I I come from a military family. It's a good deal. Um, I I wouldn't have traded nothing It was explained to some colleagues that um, it's it's only provided me opportunity Coming from the country A Country town removed of a country town Removed of a country town We still to this day have a mercantile We do we do I don't think we've had a stage coach there for a while However, we do we do still have that said mercantile. We should do I'll drink to the mercantile now My city that I grew up around that was about 25,000 people So that was the thriving metropolis that we we would actually take the trip from the country in to go get groceries Right so we could survive and you know keep ourselves from entering into a recession Hell bits man. I grew up in recession Good grief y'all need to really stop whining Honestly, I had the unique opportunity for you guys that are vipers. You guys got to enjoy some of my photos from this morning Um, I was on the floor of the new york stock exchange this morning. What a fantastic privilege that was Not one not two but three. This was my third opportunity to Visit the floor of the new york stock exchange and if I can impart to you this Investing is a luxury Not a right this comes from Credible substance that you can taste If I can just impart to you that now my vipers got to see the photos from and I shared with them As I do a little bit more intimately with that. I don't know who the thousand patrons are that are going to catch the live stream Whatever no problem. I don't mean to keep information from you But I kind to do because I have to kind of separate those worlds the reason why I share that is the perspective of Understanding the rhetoric and markets suggesting that we are absolutely running toward a cliff It's going to see what the stock market go down another 10 20 Are we already in a recession? I don't know. Maybe we are. I don't know. I don't know what that means I mean, I had to order some dominoes pizza for myself the family and the kids tonight Perhaps maybe that's a sign of the times Perhaps maybe that's a sign of things really going south on us You know and really happen to enter into a time of great suffering here in this country I don't know I challenge the notion and suggest maybe that we're not we're not suffering at all And those people out there that come to me and understand that I'm not going to tell you how to gain millions because if you're not prepared to gain millions, you're worthless There's a lot of people out there that they they're I've got matt matt's in the group He's uh stopped by to say hello matt money Matt money's mentally prepared to accept whatever level of wealth he is willing to pursue in this life So that's simple. He's mentally tough The majority of people are not mentally tough hate to break it to you. All right. You're not prepared to accept wealth Okay, now me sitting here across from you and I don't even know you should piss you off Freak is this guy. I'm right Whether or not you want to believe me or not. I'm right. You're not prepared Unless you've put any type of thought into the preparation of understanding the acceptance of wealth and the responsibility of of of maintaining that wealth Understanding, you know, your your quality of life and understanding what it is that really makes you tick and understanding that your Financial picture has its place in life I'm not going to build people up to accept millions of dollars forget it. No way no way A lot of people's personal financial success will be defined by their own mental Uh deliberation. That's it Minus mine. I mean I share it with you guys. Perhaps maybe you get some motivation out of it. I will be there No, no doubt in my mind. If I died tomorrow, I'd be fine in pursuance of my dream Do you feel the same? I don't know question your level of Acceptance of this find your passion. Look if you're a musician, you don't care about investing Go be a musician change the world with your music I don't care if you're good at gardening and you don't care about investing Go do it if you're good Whatever it is that you do to contribute to this life and yourself and The pursuance of happiness in this life go do that Well for those people that are dialed in to finding that essence of what? Personal finance as a small niche in your total overall comprehensive approach to life If you're interested in that Yeah, I can help you. There's a lot of takeaways to understanding and defining your own independent strategy your own independent approach to this gig your own Questioning of your own capability your own ability what it takes to define your parameters of tolerance and markets How did you react over the last 18 months of market volatility? Yeah, just shit your pants every day when you woke up my god. I'm down 27 dollars today Holy shit this independent guy tell you what man. I invest in 100 I said, you know what this this and this independent fella. He seems pretty honest and straightforward.

Stock market the stock market We're gonna buy this s and p 500 that's talking about this son of a gun We've done nothing but lose money this entire time. We're down 52 and 68 cents right now This son of a bitch. I tell you what I can't wait to get to break even so we can get our 200 dollars back fantastic fantastic My friends perspective And a lot of you guys need to increase that perspective and understanding what it is that separates the successful mindset From the mindsets that will end up living a life And regretting the decisions that may along the way be back with you in just a moment Fantastic great to see eric. I appreciate that and um hate to jump on the philosophical side But i'm feeling awful great happy veterans day to all you guys No doubt about it I've got some peeps that i'm working really really hard to solidify some professional goals for myself I know that they would be looking down from the heavens and super super happy with my Abnormal motivation and approach to how seriously I take my job It was pretty cool to see the appreciation of the american public codified In no short order by the patrons that enjoyed on fifth avenue today In a city that I would deem one of the most appreciative cities of military Uh fire department and police departments that I've ever seen Yeah The people the people not the governors that run the city They're opposite, but uh, it's a special thing to be part of happy veterans day to all you guys I really appreciate it man good stuff as long as I have my pension. Well, yeah, I mean you're fine, right? It's he knows I I don't need to patronize this guy's a stud He gets it love talking to this guy. He's my brother Um, I have a very special place in my heart for tradesmen because at some point in their life They were like, okay I maybe need to I don't know pull my head out of my backside and get my s together and start going to work for myself and You know, maybe I want to raise a family. I don't know. This is what's important to me. I'm going to make it happen and um myself included in that One of those things that you know, those impart impasses in life. They're important And uh, you know those people that have stared that down. It's it's a scary feeling I've been there a couple times Now The people they mentioned recession to me really where is it in my pocket? I don't see I don't see where recession Is going to keep me down. I'm good As long as they keep me in my house. I'm good Uh, I'm happy and I hope you guys really feel the same. Let's get to some of these comments over here guys Fantastic. Um, I saw some some stuff over the coverage this week The coverage in the micro cap space and the independent investor channel has been alive and well We've done some really interesting stuff And it's amazing how that stuff kind of falls on deaf ears Honestly, people have a real heartache with me being compensated People reach out to me to Share that information. I do get compensated for it. I Transition that compensation on this particular offering Into stock. So I finished my due diligence and I was like, okay. Wow, this is incredible Did a cross comparison between between the micro niche in that industry and the industry for you guys that Did not catch the content because you were like, oh god, ryan selling out because he's a bitch and he made a few bucks on Promoting it was a more than a few bucks. I get well compensated for it. I'm not going to apologize for it um, I do my thing on my independent investor channel and Perhaps maybe that's something that I would resonate if a channel came out and said I do my thing I'm not I'm not trying to sell anybody on a bunch of crap. Okay But this particular offering came my way. Did my due diligence Had some difficulty identifying what brokers you could actually purchase the stock on Went on with my major broker, which is where a mass a mass majority of my wealth is with which is meryl edge bank of america Um, and they said that they they could not purchase the stock. So kind of went on a little bit of a high ace I identifying who those brokerages out there could actually um allow for purchase of um of a duro clean technology, which is um groundbreaking Future technology. It's hydrochemolytic technology, which is low heat High input. It's a hydro based type of chemical breakdown of our polyethylene poly propylene polystyrene plastics, which to my knowledge I didn't understand that over 80 percent of the plastic in the world today Ends up in either landfills or the ocean. I didn't know that I thought that, you know, we've been Provided these really big plastic bends Define the irony in that really big plastic bends To put our plastic in with the expectation that it would go to a sorting facility and that it would get cleaned and processed and Either recycled or upcycled into a new product. That's just not the case. I didn't know that Um, maybe I'm no more on I don't know who cares. It doesn't matter. I'm learned up now I can speak the truth Most of the ship falls into the landfills and gets pushed into the ocean and it's really really sad that As smart as I think we are we're just damn dumb as a group of people living on this earth and I was explaining I'm not I'm not a tree hugger, but Do you need to be a tree hugger to care about the earth? I I don't know. I'm just speaking bluntly with people So is there technology out there and this is a lot of the lines of why I talk so freely about Eileen on every week and why I'm so passionate about the mission because I'm wholeheartedly in belief of the technology if nicola had the technology that I wholeheartedly believed in could really really provide a Logical solution and I'm talking logical man. Not pie in the sky All right, something that actually can be deployed like right now To help fix the problem because I think the problem is that urgent. That's just my thesis, okay But aduro and a great investment brought it way back when uh, mariush brought it to his viewers viewers Yeah, mariush is good people man. He's really sharp You know, he's um, he's really good Me and him have kind of built a business relationship We've kind of gotten to know each other in a little bit of sidebar conversation Don't know much about the guy outside of the fact that our business relationship is quite strong And it's been built strong Based on the fact that we're not talking about backyard barbecue stuff. We're talking about Those companies out there that are looking to be disruptive and bring solutions to the table and aduro is right there at the forefront I bought I bought 12,500 shares the company. I'm up massive in the company already Stupid it took me about a one day delay. I took I did not believe that it would jump that quickly But I was looking to get into the name at 58 cents and um, it's run up quite quite handily I got into it in the low 60s And i'm fine with that. I don't really care. I think it's a multi bagger. It's fine I think after 12 months of validating Validation through shell You're not going to need a little independent investor channel that could I'm who am I I'm just an insignificant moron On social media that comes on and just shares what it is that I see through my perspective and my lens, but My perspective is pretty simple If these guys over the last 10 years have developed this technology Which has been third party validated to work and now doubled down on by I don't know shell I'll it's not a small player. Okay This is not This is not small potatoes to be picked up by shell. It's a big freaking deal. It's big and the market Still to to this day today stock went up one cent today has not got it It's like I'll sit back and patiently wait until they get it and rest assured. I'll be in the name No problem. No problem When you talk about Defining a potential opportunity It's all in the numbers about how many tons they can do per year How much licensing they can do how much owned and operated Equipment that they can do I think on the owned and operated side I I don't think there's I hope they don't pursue that but there is going to be some of that There's going to be equipment that That exists and the reactors that are built to commercial. They've got about Two to three phases. Best I can tell over the next 12 months To actually build the commercial grade reactor. The continuous flow is going to be online They're finalizing r2 here shortly I'll be dropping that to the greater investment group here pretty quick No, it's exciting stuff If I got on here and just started doing cartwheels and jumping up and down people would probably react more to that But my tone doesn't change. This is a badass company It's and it's going to be a badass stock and it's going to be a game changer. What else can I say? No pun intended It'll be fun to see what type of learnings can occur Uh through the shell deal And um, I was just I was just ecstatic. I didn't film the stock when it was picked up on the game changer program I woke up in the morning and I caught the news feed And it was like, oh man, I'm I'm that sucks because I It sucks to do due diligence and know that your conviction is right and then to see a piece of news like that draw I thought I was going to wake up and see the stock up 150 points, which it should have been It should have flew about three or four hundred percent on the news, but it didn't no problem We're an approved market and that's fine But um, appreciate you bringing it to the attention and you know, if you guys see those things come through I'm not I'm really not doing it to I'm not doing it to piss you off I'm doing it to bring these awareness pieces and think about it this way This company has been in the works for 10 plus years The insiders to the company own 50 percent of the company 50 50 and all you have to do is sit across from me for a 25 minute 25 minutes out of 10 plus years and Say I'm not interested No problem. No problem but think about the amount of time that it takes to Bring the company to where it is today For you still to have no idea that the company even exists And to have me through my channels and my conduit Bring it to your attention It's a beautiful thing and this is what is happening right now my friends Where the institutions had all the advantages you ever heard of bloomberg? If you took my assignment the other uh, the other few weeks ago There's a netflix special that talked about the bloomberg account Those are about 20 000 a piece and it's supposed to provide that information that you can't get anywhere Else that's only been affordable by the institutions out there Now we don't need that There's fuelers on the ground that are talking about these revolutionary industries And I think in this particular case we've actually beat the institutions to the game And it's going to be exciting to see the company And it's progress going forward. Let's kick down here and uh highlight some of the folks in the group here Mitchell dates in the group right charge eight dollars for a wrench Okay That's funny Sure, I don't know. It's one of those cool things that they allow me to do I don't do super chat through youtube because youtube When you Give me a super chat of like five dollars or something YouTube takes like 40 percent of it But man alive i'm in the wrong business man just to earn 40 percent for doing jack squat nothing Except for providing a platform to the very content creator that's throwing down and garnering a loyal audience I don't mind if somebody wants a wrench just hit me up and i'll i'll kick over and i'll award those I have no problem with it I want people to feel like they Have a small piece of ownership I don't want to feel like you're wasting your time when you're coming here I want you to feel like you leave the message with something special I want you to feel like Motivated to enter into monday and say man alive I I really want to change the natural course of my life And that's really what this is about how many people out there just do the same habitual thing over and I I get it to an extent you kind of have to do that with the work routine and the kids and the school and et cetera et cetera But personal finance really allows you that opportunity to expand To to to amplify Certain areas of that and what's the worst that could happen? I don't know you improve upon your financial status I don't think that's such a bad thing. I think that it's it's good Now have some control over that so where the The habit forming stuff is actually contributing to your total overall financial security down the line it gives you a little bit of peace and Understanding that you do own your program and have some ownership over it. It's kind of cool. Yeah, it's really cool stuff all right Peter Lynch investment So it's a proven story They need to do with all these other micro cap companies and Myself and Marius have talked about this and the company does not make money right now Does it make it a no-go investment according to some schools of thought? Yes. Yes But does the shell news kind of change that in their ability to scale up and move to commercialization? See the r&d dollars that would need would have needed to be spent internally with a duro Is now being supplemented in a non-diluted fashion by shell so kind of exciting to see What they're able to bring to the table what they're able to offer through working with their in-house consultants To actually amplify what they have right now in their own ip and it works. It's really good How continuous can it work? What that final product can can can render? When introduced to feedstock that is not only those hard to break down Polymers, but also the contaminated feedstock. That's a big deal right when you take your proctor and gamble You're tied bottle and you're done Extracting whatever detergent you can out of the bottle Now and you're done and it ends up in the garbage to go and get recycled Okay, those contaminated plastics actually have proven to be impossible to introduce to any type of chemical process heat process for the sheer fear of potential reaction or contamination So when those are introduced, you don't know what you're going to get on the back end if you're Introducing a bunch of contaminants by the very product that housed those products initially Right and aduro has has seemingly solved that issue. It's great. It's easy company to invest in when you have Kind of a kind of a motive and I brought up on my video I was like well, you know, if you feel good about people dying of lung cancer Just continue to buy altria group. They're a dividend king You know, they they kick ass and paying that four or five six eight percent dividend whatever they pay now Just keep buying that if you feel good about it. That's awesome. I mean people dying of lung cancer. That's fantastic Keep making money off of it. It's awesome, you know And I don't need to be so scathing But my point is why why is it so full paw To look at a company like this that's trying to do the right thing Look aduro could just fall on its face and it may not have the chemical process. I know they do I know they do But man alive imagine a world where this process actually is introduced and with the help of shell Taking a mass scale and commercialization the world will benefit from it Now who the hell can't get behind that i'll drink to it Good stuff and cruise up to the top here, man I'ma cruise down say some give some shout outs to some people man victor great to have you It was a nice pop. It was a nice reprieve this week It just proves to investors the power of When things are seemingly so bad that there's no hope whatsoever and You imagine yourself in that line collecting that quarter loaf of bread and that brown water to keep the family alive Just remember And try to keep some perspective and head about this deal Is that it's probably not as bad as you think that it is All right, just got to adjust your perspective a little bit and investing with erin in the house Appreciate you my brother. You've been with me a while geez Almost close to the beginning of time where we accepted this product Watch you guys to really feel like you have some ownership over this. I don't know when I don't know how I don't know if ever But if this is the best Back and forth we ever have in life and you get to come in and you get to engage a little bit We get to banter back and forth with your comment and my rhetoric Then so be it. I'm good with that. But uh Yeah, we're looking to build something special here and and the the special part about the independent investor community is It is predicated upon the very success that you render in life that you would not have realized If it had not been for the message that I deliver Don't ask me to repeat that again mm-hmm That's the way I feel Shaded lights in the house, man. Great to have you Well, here's another original gangster He's holding up his large mouth bass Take it Jared's a he looks happy as a clam here. See here's the thing guys This is what happiness is all about See i'm proud of that 15 inch large mouth bass He's probably like no, it's a crappie Ryan. You suck but Good stuff man. Jared's been with me a long long time really since the beginning of the channel and he's been in the group with me He's been an administrator of my group and I'd like to go out on a limb and suggest maybe it's this guy and I don't want to speak for him finds value in Being part of the community And understanding that my aim is a little bit different um I stand to make some money on youtube no doubt about it, but With all due respect nobody delivers a youtube channel like me so I got to do it The second that I find that somebody wants to come out and and and make i3 They can do that. Good luck good luck Because you ain't got the brainiacs that I got You ain't got the neurons fire in the way that I got You don't work on the same ferocity that I got. I know this because I speak with people Mm-hmm. Yeah Yeah, and I think people could be a little bit hungry with their hungrier with their application Set a good example for what it takes I don't know when or how we've eroded this idea that hard work is not um reputable Or that somehow the size of your wallet is the end all be all a judgment of your success in life I don't know how we got to this place. I don't agree with it Not in the least Not in the least mm-hmm Yeah, I'm uh, what did I say in the title 45,000 Yeah, it was a 45,000 dollar to plus to the upside my tone and tenor is the same. I'm fine My week was consumed with a whole lot of intangibles that had a whole hell of a lot to do with very little money I'm going to experience it tomorrow when we hit central park my son's birthday is 11 years old That's what it's all about Yeah, the 45k is nice nice really nice reprieve. I've had my ass kicked this year in 2022 So if nothing else it is what I consider to be kind of a rebound or a rubber band type of effect on what has been Really a shitty market. It's been terrible in 2022. It's been bad. It was bad in 2021 for me, too Less happy when I read the transcript. I was more happy when I heard John and Thomas make the address to shareholders. There was a couple of things that were Discussed there Return on investment at three years. I'll talk about this sunday I typically don't like to water down the live stream Because I'm sure there's people out there that are like, huh I was like it rhymes with hell Ryan neon green hell To my friends, it's just a stock. It's just a company. Okay, don't hate You can hate if it makes you feel better. Maybe your problem is that you hate too much I don't know. I don't hate. I don't hate That's any company doing some awesome stuff. Um, they just uh Halled some freight. There was a youtube video that just dropped this evening right before I came live On highly uns youtube channel Uh chronicling the green path logistics fleet trial that's going on. Yeah, no big deal. They were just introduced into their supply chain Which is a circular supply chain hauling freight for none other than shell rotella Do I think that's a big deal? Yeah, yeah, I think that's a big deal But that's just me and my independent thought nobody's gonna come on and agree with me. They're gonna be like you suck, Ryan You suck. You suck. You're not the man. You you are not the man I am a man It's great to see you matt good evening to you. Hope all as well my friend great to see you awesome stuff man DJ's in the house. What's going on? Shot out to you DJ don't know where you're hailing from But uh panic kind of cool. We're bringing people together around the message And it's a lot of fun. Think about some of the things I talked about on tonight's live stream Are we really that bad off? Would you have been better off? Relieving yourself of the stress of the stock market over the last 18 months. It's just felt like an eternity, Ryan It's been terrible this whole stock market thing. I'm a jig. I tell you what that $200 I tell you what I've watched that Son of a bitch every single day One of the days I woke up and I was down like $2 and 77 cents $2 and 77 cents Do you know what I can do with $2 and 77 cents ran? Let me tell you partner. All right, and it's all your fault I I have just been through an absolute mental anguish over the last 18 months in the stock market It's been absolutely horrible Would it have been worth saving $2 and 77 cents? to just not participate in the stock market Not to come to the temptation of watching independent investor Watching this crazy freaking fruit cake on youtube talk about personal finance god You can't get personal finance ryan's not a professional really defined professional. No kidding. Hmm interesting I work with a lot of so-called professionals. They don't know shit about shit It says on their deal. It says pe they don't know shit Okay, you need to stop giving people so much credit Okay, first of all There's nobody out there. I've said this many many times through the history of the channel There's nobody out there that deserves your trust In this life more than you yourself trust yourself Really, right? That's a hell of a concept. Yeah, I know I'm full of them. Hmm trust yourself You'd be amazed. I had it. That's enlightening right and what the hell I've never really thought of actually thinking about my personal finance I was just defer to a financial planner He's got it all figured out for me. Really? No kidding. Mm-hmm Good luck with that good luck The things that are going to be the most valuable to you are those things that you take ownership over Mm-hmm, and I like to own it all I really do I like to own the decisions that I make I like to own everything that I do Within my life and finances is no different. Not at all. All right FDX well watch the interview CMBC the replay is pretty awesome and I don't know. I mean I got caught up. I took a little investment for the Sheer sake of making some money on the deal and I didn't like it my tone on my live stream was very very simple I didn't like it at all There was zero youtube videos that I made on cryptocurrency Nothing that I could come out. I studied it. I put some real study into it I do like the idea of the blockchain technology. I do think it has its place but 150 companies in this ftx Investigation that's going on they're going to declare bankruptcy and they're looking at losses in between What was it 50 and 150 billion dollars losses? hmm Some of the who's who are financing there's a lot of analysts out there that are losing their shorts right now the reputation's gone because they put stock in something that A lot of people were like These are the the tulip craze, you know, like we've been through this before and we don't ever learn And I know there's going to be purists out there that are still, you know, crypto all the way And who knows maybe it does end up being something viable, but You know, I always had my suspicions. The suspicions have become more Uh reaffirmed after the f tx news We'll see what happens. It'll be interesting Uh, if it is too good to be true It usually is and we watched bitcoin go up for you know, 10 years and everybody was like Yeah, it's just here to stay and it's going to be the end all be all of everything you're going to get to eat bitcoin someday Survive on it. You're going to be recession proof if you own a lot of bitcoin You can taste it ryan. You really can Okay All right, you can pull it out of this digital wallet and you can actually rub it on your head and it makes you feel better Fair enough. All right. Can I take it out of my digital wallet? Just put it on the desk and look at it for some like, I don't know some visual stimulus Yeah, you can do that too, ryan. It's amazing. There's only 20 000 of them and The satoshis are great and they're fantastic. It's a cool word and it's great You can go buy that quarter loaf of bread and some brown water to avoid recession with your satoshis of bitcoin Right on I just I just don't know where people's common senses went anymore. It's interesting Like it's crazy because like one day you could buy like a quarter loaf of bread And then one day with bitcoin you can buy the whole truck full of like, you know, 12 000 loaves of bread I'm not sure I understand that as a viable currency I don't know Maybe I'm wrong Matt says still buying. This is something that I kind of wanted to touch on over the last 18 months. I've been aggressively buying and funding continuing to dollar cost average markets where it ends up where the ramifications of those activities will be measured They're not going to be now. They're not going to be measured now I don't get to look at that and say Because I continue to invest in the market. I'm awesome because of this right here right in the heart of You know, what is going to be a recession in 2023 or Volatile markets S&P off, you know 15 20 percent where we close out the markets this year. I don't get that luxury. No way As to do with my target retirement date when I look at that and I'm like, okay, here's what I'm aimed for I'm going to strategically buy the market now with the hope of payoff Not tomorrow not next week not next month or next year during this recession Right when I'm surviving on this quarter loaf of bread No, it'll be inevitably in the future And the more time that passes the more success Rate will increase as time goes on and I allow those bottom Doldrum buys when the market was in a dungeon All right They're going to pay off and it's just as simple as that It's good stuff, man. I know Matt's been buying some stock maybe doing some repositioning and that's pretty cool good stuff Trucker a cthf can we talk about? um Catch my videos. Um, they've got really good traction They are part of a blue ocean right now on youtube because there's not a lot of content on the company The groundbreaking news from last week was paramount. It was just awesome Um You guys don't understand if you read the articles that I'd link into those videos About the game changer program the rigor that has to be gone through the amount of presentation the amount of Validation of the technology etc etc the criteria to even apply to that through the game Shell is not effing around here guys f shell is a top five player And in renewables, I'll defer to matt as far as the progress that they've made on this front Okay, I don't want to misspeak. I'm not an expert on this matt is okay But they are right there at the forefront of this discussion about acknowledging their obligation not only to Satisfy mandates that are coming in 2025 But also just to do the right thing. I I don't think these companies that are looking to transition are just like oh my goodness This is good. No, I don't think that's it at all This is not the impression that I get When all of the upper management all of the boards of directors and all of these major companies are not acknowledging In all calmness how serious the problem is right now and how they have the power to address this very issue And I'm not going to tell you I said carte blanche during my interview with yuzan and mariusz this week I said no don't don't buy the stock. I don't care what you do. I just don't care Now if you buy the stock and it ends up doing really really well for you I will be happy for you If you buy the stock and you over lever to the stock and you you lose money on it I don't have any sympathy for you So if you're looking for either validation or sympathy for me you're coming from the wrong place Take it for what it is an introduction. That's what it is. Remember 10 plus years Management owns 50 percent of the company and I'm paying it forward to you do what you will with the information I could care. I really could care less. It's not like I keep a tally On who buys the stock or not that's ridiculous I just don't think like that and I don't spend any of my iota of time thinking about that But we do that to pay those lessons forward And if you want to kick over to those videos that I Posted on on on this topic. They're they're really good. They're really good pieces of content and like I said instead of taking cash compensation I entered into a nice position that I was happy with and that just happened to be 12,500 shares of the company And that's where I'm at right now Thank you. I appreciate it trucker scott I appreciate you stopping by my friend. Very good stuff. Very good. I got antennas in the house Very good to see you my friend. Thank you for stopping by.

So pretty cool stuff As we close down the live stream man, I will throw one last invite. I've got a pretty good audience in here The invite will drop right there.

It's great. It's great You know, we would have never ran into each other at walmart. Maybe we would have What's going on? Yeah, I'll pull you off. I'll close it down Hey, you know, that's part of the reason why I do the channel guys and in all actuality. I I open it up like that Fairly much every friday But I think you know for me, I enjoy it You know if I was going to give you a little bit of a selfish perspective I I love to come on and just roll for 60 minutes. I love it Because you know when I have guests or when I have interviews like I did this week with yazan With marius. I didn't do any talking I make up that aspect of it when I do my own profiling of the company and if you guys see how I do it I stay close to the best on what the company wants to present through their corporate presentation. That's the information It's not my opinion. It's what they want To share with the grander audience and It's stuff's important It's stuff's important to kind of take to take hold of and I don't know man If the stock goes up, you guys will think I'm brilliant and if it goes down, you'll think I'm a complete moron And that's fun, too. I'm an opportunistic fella. I work hard on a lot of different fronts It's not like I put all my eggs in You know a stock going up and making x number of dollars. I don't think like that I'm looking to place a lot of different strategic bets across my portfolio And some of those bets have very very low risk Some of those have by some measure Higher risk and that's totally fine But you guys got to understand What makes me tick and why I do what I do. It's really cool, man He says I want to be successful and happy Define what that is. Okay. You just can't come up with a couple of broad topics like that and say I want to be successful and happy I'd like to kind of understand a little bit more about what you mean by that And I hate to press because it's a lofty goal and and You know a lot of people say that but they're not willing to go through The hard work that it takes to get there If you think you're going to trip and fall into success or happiness or You know all of those attributes that um that will truly make you happy without working for it um Maybe you will Nothing comes easy for me. So You know if you're tuning in to me for a little bit of a reality check I'm I'm one that has to screw up three or four times before I get a little dab of of success But I tell you what it's really starting to happen for me And it started to happen quite a while ago And it's been a nice evolution of getting to share that story with you guys through the independent investor channel I want to take this opportunity and thank each and every one of you guys We had a hell of a group tonight a lot of you guys You stayed with me through the entire Thing and and the live stream and that's that's all I could ever ask for I really appreciate you guys and your continued support of the message. I really appreciate it. We'll be back next friday On the fastest 60 minutes on youtube man What a special treat for me to get to do this product and hopefully We're get to reach one investor at a time and get to empower those lives out of there and defining their own personal success for themselves And I believe we are we absolutely are that's why we'll continue to beat the drum On this topic and looking to reach people with the power of social media guys. Be well. We'll catch you next week
