 Haven't gone live in a second. What's up everybody? Let's talk about the way of the billionaire. I'm working on a book This is gonna be the title. It's what I've learned from billionaire mentors both in person and From studying them. So I think it's pretty interesting subject You don't have to want to be a billionaire to learn from billionaires just like you don't have to want to be a pro basketball player To learn from their techniques like even if you're just an amateur, you know what I'm saying So the way of the billionaire the concept for this book I started writing is just like what have I learned from billionaire interactions that I've had I have mentors I've paid billionaires to learn from them. I've befriended them and You know now I own a Pretty big holding company where I'm interacting with billionaires. I have two business partners that are billionaires So what's up Renee? How are you? So let's just go through like what I've learned in This way of the billionaire that I think maybe applies to somebody who's watching who's an entrepreneur Even if you're just like making your first hundred bucks a month I just met today with the founders of protein.com. They're doing well It's a big business in Sweden. I'm in Sweden right now I have offices in Copenhagen and Stockholm You know that Sweden has five times the billionaires is the United States per capita Pretty interesting. Everybody thinks like America's the richest plate But so anyway in this e-book that I'm coming out with The there's a couple things and there's been a lot of studies scientifically of high performing people who perform financially whether they're billionaires or worth a hundred million what would you guess is Like the personality trait most attributed To people who let's say make a net worth for themselves of over a hundred million bucks. What would you guess? Some people guess greed Exploitation, but what do you really think it is like what a science say there's a ton of scientific studies my mentor dr. David bus He's from Harvard University of Austin now He sent me some really interesting deep science on this But what do you think it is smoke weed every day? Definitely not Definite disagreeable now there is some science that people with low agreeableness make more money But you have to look at that within the full context of all the personality traits. I I I would say billionaires that I negotiate with by companies from I Wouldn't say they're totally disagreeable. They're disagreeable when they think an Item is extremely important then they don't listen anybody so conscientiousness. What else? You think more risk averse or not the way of the billionaire for this book Do you think the average billionaire takes more risks? This one's relatively simple You don't be a fucking genius to get this one So more risk tolerance Number one Higher levels of organization better daily routine for example Okay, what else? Number three Somebody asked what I'm talking to I'm live on like four different places Twitter YouTube Insta and Tik Tok So the fourth thing that billionaires have This is an interesting one They don't fucking start the businesses that make them rich And that's really the point of this Talk, that's really the point They don't start the businesses who started Tesla Pop quiz who started Tesla It's I got everybody on social media. It's all about hustle It's all about wealth like you look on Tik Tok You log on it says everybody becoming an entrepreneur, which is great I remember starting on social media like I really started in 2013 And I was like not many people man. There was Gary V. There was Tim Ferriss. There was me I was kind of starting out 2013 2012 Now everybody's like you go on Tik Tok and everybody's teaching you about How to make money somebody made a mill so now they're gonna teach everybody which is fine I don't have any hate on it. I liked you got to learn from people who are 20 years ahead of you You know, so I'm at this point in the game my holding company My companies are set to do over 700 million in revenue this year So I have to hunt down higher level mentors than I had two five years ago. You know what I'm saying now I own bigger stuff. So This year I was with Tillman for Tita. He's on the Forbes list six seven billion dollar net worth and Learning from him. So in the way of the billionaire The key thing that I would want y'all to take away is at some point. You've got to buy somebody else's business That's a true that I do and that's the myth of the entrepreneur and everybody thinks a billionaire had a great idea Who started Instagram wasn't Mark Zuckerberg who got wealthy off of it? Zuckerberg Who started most of the Louis Vuitton brands? last year the richest man in the world was Bernard all-in-all the billionaire who you know Started the Louis Vuitton group. He bought 60 companies To build his wealth 60. Who's the second richest man in the world the Indian guy? He has a holding company. He buys other people's businesses Jeff Bezos bought Whole Foods Not that they eat. I think he just didn't just buy MGM Warren Buffett bought a hundred people's other other businesses so Somebody said way to get rich have a shit ton of money. It's more like of course like no shit dude Welcome to the unfair of the way of the world. I didn't grow up with any money You got to figure out how to capitalize what you want to do So the real thing that nobody talks about is the real way of the billionaire is people who buy other people's distressed assets That's the one right there. That is the fuck Bill Gates bought DOS Steve Jobs didn't come up With the mouse the mouse came he they took it from IBM that case They didn't even steal it Ray a croc did not start McDonald's But he became the richest man in America by buying it from the McDonald's brothers So that's the way the billionaire that nobody talks about because it sounds more complex So everybody just wants to say all right if you hustle and work hard Now you're gonna you know You're on this million billion dollar track, but it's hard to make over a hundred million at revenue from the stuff You start yourself you can do it. It just takes 10 20 years Elon Musk in 2000 Let's say between 2004 and 2006. He put six million dollars I think that's the rough number into his initial investment when Tesla founders were having a hard time he invested capital in and Every hundred thousand he put in is worth nine hundred million dollars now Somebody wrote Ty can talk about a whole this guy talk about a whole bunch of nothing for all you're too stupid to understand what I'm saying That's why it sounds like nothing People too stupid If you hear this talk, and you think I'm talking about nothing you're too stupid This is what life comes down to I'm literally giving you the shit that no motherfucker on all social media told you who told you this Name one person on social media. No tell me one fucking viral influencer who just told you the truth set me name one What am I drinking This is a mix of chia seeds hemp And a little hemp seeds in there get a little fiber in your water I have my assistant put out four of these so then I know how much to drink Ty First video I've ever seen of you. Yeah, I haven't man. I haven't been time to do Social media in a long time. I always go wherever I always get in early and then when everybody starts doing it I go do something else Like everybody fuck dude when I was doing social media. I could spend a hundred thousand dollars Let's say fifty thousand a day on YouTube ads, and I could make a hundred thousand dollars the same day You can't do that shit anymore. I was in early I was in early like almost nobody makes that kind of profit margin anymore So now I go do other stuff Now I let everybody compete to be the next social media influencer already been there. I already did it My investing crypto. Yep. I still own all the crypto I bought I posted a video in 2006 Somebody said tie you only buy shitty companies with no revenues, bro. I just bought bodybuilding.com. I Got more fucking traffic than GNC more traffic than vitamin shop nine-figure revenue. What are you talking about? People don't even know People don't even know people are all still think I just bought dress barn, man. I've been snatching up shit Once this economy tanks in the next two months, I'll be buying more stuff Can't phase me haters you can't phase me Y'all are too amateur. It's funny when I first started with social media like 2014 You get haters and they're like fuck is this real and it like affects you, you know, so You just yeah by context I actually have lazy I Wear these because then people when I do lie That's what people expect you to look like you got to keep the damn brand, you know, you know So what am I doing now? I own a whole bunch of companies. If you go to retail e-commerce venture Just type in Tai Lopez Wall Street Journal. I just took over a publicly traded company that did 700 million in revenue last year 487 stores in the United States so It's a nice wig Ain't got no wig. I got my hair pulled back though If I let my hair be out the like men are very sensitive to the looks of other men now It's very funny on social media like dudes are very affected by how guys look like if this too looks fucking stylish They're like that's a fucking alpha, bro. Like if you dress, right, you're an alpha shit If you're a fucking alpha you You know who's an alpha? Who's an alpha? Who knows who I'm about to say who's a comedian who dresses in baggy shorts and Makes all these movies and makes a couple hundred million dollars at a time You know I'm saying who am I talking about Adam Sandler, that's right Adam Sandler the fucking y'all are too affected by how guys look it's very I learn a lot from social media That's why I come live come live on four or five channels keeps me in tune With what the war the world's at right now how easily influenced the world is by things I see that tiktok's manipulating the world Probably you could argue Whether is it for good or for bad? I mean some stuff's for good people are in better shape now because they see that other people are fucking Thin and in good shape is probably good for lowering obesity in the world At the same time there's too much of an echo chamber even people and I always am interested that people that think they're super Contrarian and counterculture. I'm like you're not counterculture, man Counterculture is literally doing the opposite like counterculture would be Like what I said that I like to do when everybody wants to become a social media influencer. I'm on the way out shit Too many motherfuckers are social media influence gonna be tough to make a lot of money You can still be a social media influencer. Don't get me wrong, but it to me. It's a means to an end It's like don't get high off your own supply My dad went to prison for selling cocaine terminal island Long Beach, California But my dad made a mistake of using the drugs, you know, like the old Snoop Dogg thing So for me social media is just a means to an end I'm on here talking to you all partly because I like helping people. I've always been People think that I just did it for the money But dude, I was making money ten years before I got on Instagram or YouTube ten years I had a Ferrari and like 2000 people were like, oh this guy rented a Ferrari 2016 I'm like brah I had a I had a Ferrari like 07 I Like help people I kind of make it up made a vow to myself That if I figured out how to make money, I'd share it with other people because that was a big problem My dad was from Harlem. He tried to make money the only way he knew how So cocaine sold to an undercover cop across country FBI agent and that's why he went to prison. You can see on my Instagram My baby pictures in terminal island. So like my dad wanted to be he was ambitious But because of the constraints of where he lived He could not figure out how to make that money and a lot of you are like that a lot of you are constrained There's a lot of poor people in the world. I grew up in a mobile home So to the extent that you are in the echo chamber, you're going to be stuck in that You know, I see people on tiktok. They're like, here's my journey, bro Like I was six months ago. I was working in McDonald's and then I did this and now I traded some crypto or did this and Now they show little flashes. They're going to Dubai and shit like that. I'm like, that's not how it works, man blood sweat and tears empires are built with blood and violence and Not necessarily criminal violence But shit behind half the bill. I'll tell you another thing about the way the billionaires behind half the billionaires They're not telling you the full story. There's bodies in the Vegas desert. My friend same with crypto You think all these crypto motherfuckers made money by just starting an exchange and doing every fuck. There's bodies There's buried bodies, man So that's why I said, you know, but this book I'm working on the way of the billionaire You don't necessarily have to emulate all parts of the billionaire's life You know, I've had different I paid Steve Ballmer $250,000 to have dinner with him somewhere on my Instagram. It's when he owned the Clippers I sat there were two hours. There's learning from them asking them direction on my business Should I sell my company? Should I buy new ones? And it, you know, he's worth at the time He's worth about 50 billion thing now. He's worth between 50 and 100. I learned a lot So to me everybody I think of myself like Robin Hood of knowledge Okay, Robin Hood took from the rich and gave to the poor. I consider myself poor in Knowledge and I keep that mentality and I'm just going out and what can I learn? I've had long conversations with Elon Musk used to go to a lot of stuff that I went to in Hollywood Elon Musk likes Hollywood. He won't say that but he does There's no famous people who don't like attention. Just remember that the second a fake of a Famous person tells you they they're introverted and they don't like attention. Just call bullshit It's kind of like there's no bodybuilders that aren't somewhat narcissistic like my dad was a pro bodybuilder I bought it like you fucking like looking at your body. That's just and there's nothing wrong with that I don't even think about in a right or wrong. It's just the necessary conditions to get that you have to be that way So you want to make a lot of money? You're going to be a strong-willed high-risk taker yet highly organized You will be more honest than people think, you know as I buy complicated companies I just if you Google Ty Lopes Wall Street Journal, you'll see about two three weeks ago an article or I Put together an SPV and I became the executive chairman of a publicly traded company called Tuesday morning We injected 32 million dollars into the company To shore up the balance sheet is a complex transaction But people are more honest than you think Manhattan has more honest people Everybody says all private equity because there's a lot of high IQ people and they can tell if you're lying So people are forced to be more honest. They're not necessarily honest out of virtue, but they're honest out of necessity So one of the things in the way of the billionaire is that there's what I would call a necessitous honesty there Not a virtuous honesty, but you could argue who really is Who really is honest? You think you're really honest you fucking using an iPhone bro that was put together by child labor You don't give a shit the ethics of people who call out other people as ethics is always suspect always People like Ty you were using you know social media to make money I'm like you would have done the same way if you were smart enough. You would have done the same way It just isn't that easy to do So it's always easy to call out the ethics of other people, but oftentimes other people are more ethical Out of stupidity not out of morality. You know what I'm saying So What else do you think a billionaire? I mean look dude humans are animals and if you We even if you're religious humans are animals if you're a Christian or Judeo Christian Islam Judaism Christianity You believe in the intrinsic sinful nature of man if you're an atheist you believe in primal instincts, so You know, I don't think bill. I don't think billionaires do things that other people wouldn't do if they could In the way of the billionaire that I'm writing this book. I have I'm have a section I'm gonna write about that if you exchange if you took somebody off the street and Exchange them with the billionaire's path. Would they truly do everything ethical? I don't know. There's a there's an old saying, you know, absolute power corrupts absolutely Probably that way with money. Although there's good science that money There's a lot of people that are billion dollars that just like chill and don't Buy yachts in private jets. I was in here in Sweden and Denmark right now There's a lot of environmentalists here and they're like, you know using a private jet is fucked up and I see that I You know, I own a lot of organic farms My argument is that I'm counterbalancing the carbon footprint that I'm emitting when I use private jets by You know having huge organic farms that we do things that sequester is carbon Anyway, I don't know why I'm talking about that You don't need to be a billionaire to achieve health well-loved happiness You are correct the point in my book Which is not out yet, but I'm working on I was up late last night early this morning actually Learned from billionaires, but you don't have to learn everything and you also can learn what not to do You know, do you think money is more power for you after? What is this question? These are coming in fast. I'll take that by the way tiktok's gonna destroy Instagram It's pretty interesting and I think YouTube shorts watch Google smart man YouTube Facebook went way too far down this stupid metaverse thing. Fuck metaverse first off. We're already in the metaverse I'm right here with I've got let me see how many people 547 I got 2,000 people watching this live. That's the mark. That's the metaverse. I'm in another fucking verse I'm in Sweden Denmark right now, and you are not this is the metaverse So meta and Facebook. I'm like, why'd you change your name to meta? Like what the fuck? It's a strange thing. The Chinese are winning right now big time. Do you think we're living in a matrix? You know, I saw that. What's the one physicist Neil Tyson, whatever DeGrasse or whatever Zamin Probo, I believe in more parallel universes and I do believe somewhat in the power of positive thinking But not that I believe that you pick the universe, you know, this concept of parallel universes is very simple There's infinite the theory goes there's infinite universes with variations Infinity permutations. So there's one where I'm wearing a white shirt talking to you. There's one where I'm wearing, you know Blue shirt infinity almost infinity minus one and in that you but what I believe is is that You choose which one you want to be in and you choose it by The feelings and the ambitions you have and but more importantly by staying in your lane And I think that that's one of the problems So I'll tell you this the way of the million the billionaire one of the things that I find with billionaires is That they find where they're strong and they stay in that circle of competence and what I find on Social media what it's Pramila gating What it's promoting is you can be anything you can't be anything even in a world of parallel universes There's still constraints on us. I was a good high school basketball player I played on one of the top schools in the United States and low in Raleigh, North Carolina A lot of pro basketball players came from John Wall was in my league You know Jordan Stackhouse Chris Paul, that's why I know Chris Paul But it wasn't in the cards for me to play pro I was not good enough to be a pro and so there what I don't think there's a parallel universe where I'm a pro basketball player So I think the way of the billionaire There's a lot of highly successful people take Kobe Bryant and they visualize but more importantly they visualize What their natural competitive advantage is and if you take away one thing from this live stream You must find your competitive advantage. My competitive advantage is I probably have to Um, I can come up with marketing angles and hooks that are very strong I even did that at a young age looking back. I didn't realize it But looking back. I was able to it's some kind of a I don't call it empathy But um intuition I could so that's a strong competitive advantage that I have I can kind of feel what's gonna sell Before I even go to sell it. So I try to stay in that lane and when I move out of it And I'm also I know how to negotiate deals Because I like psychology I think it's because I grew up in kind of a fucked up childhood That I had to learn how to read adults, you know, I didn't have a good childhood. I didn't have the worst childhood, but I didn't have a great one and So if you grew up in that dysfunctional kind of scenario as a child You learn how to read people and that's translated into I can do complex deals like this deal I did with this 700 million revenue company to be I'm the executive chair of the board now That was a complex deal you're talking Mid-seven figures legal fees just to complete the deal 60 lawyers on a call So as long as I stay in my competitive Sphere then I can move into that parallel universe where I win and I think you have to do that To for those of you who want to live an above-average life And the problem is is some people are talented at a lot of things and some people ain't talented at that much Jamie Foxx can do everything he can sing he can act. He's funny. He knows how to make money But not everybody you can you know what I mean and so What do you do if you're watching this and you feel like you have no talents You know, that's a tough one What do you do if you're watching this and you don't feel like you have enough talent to make money And I'll give you the straight-up truth some of you in fact Most people don't have what it takes to become a billionaire and who cares billionaires I don't think live better lives if you look there's this thing called the hedonic Treadmill It's an experiment like if you could have infinity pleasure, would you be happier? It's not true. You would if you could have infinity Orgasms they would stop to feel good because the human brain works off contrast If you're always having an orgasm that eventually it feels normal So billionaires the second they make a lot of money It feels normal and they become just as happy or unhappy as they were before being a billionaire Right, so I don't think you need to worry, but For those of you don't feel like you have a talent. I will get I will tell you this We let you can make up for it with effort You can make up with it. You can make up with effort You know you can make up and then just stay in your lane I strongly believe I could take anybody Unless they had serious handicaps mentally some people have handicaps and you're just not gonna be able to compete in the economy necessarily although you see people now who have you know handicaps that are building businesses, but I'm just saying if you have severe Handicap, but I think I could take almost anybody of it even an average IQ 100 the average millionaire has IQ between 120 ish Which is a little bit above average the average billionaire for sure is up in the 140s 150s I haven't met a billionaire That was remotely low IQ. They're definitely higher IQ. That's why a lot of wealth is you're born with it But people misunderstand they think that Elon Musk for example Was born with a silver spoon in his mouth or Donald Trump was but they also inherited the genes of Their father grandfather grandmother and mother who was probably high IQ so some of the wealth Privilege also comes from IQ because IQ is one of the most heritable of personality or it's not a trait but one of the most heritable of You know measurable genetic traits IQ height your eye color your hair color IQ Narcissism schizophrenia. These are highly inherited and some things aren't inherited at all so Elon Musk and others you look at most billionaires had pretty smart parents Bill Gates dad was One of the top lawyers in the whole state that he lived in And so if you feel like you don't have that high IQ You're okay But just stay in your lane that lane might be a million bucks a year That lane can be bigger than you think that lane can be bigger than you think you can make up for it with sheer With sheer effort and Also a little bit of direction, you know Time still broke man. I'm 49 years old Attractive and with nothing I'll tell you best thing you can do you got to find somebody to shadow The way of the billionaires to shadow someone else Did you know Mark Zuckerberg was personally mentored one-on-one by Steve Jobs? So was a Jack Dorsey. I think the founder of Twitter Albert Einstein had a mentor at age 16. Alexander the Great was mentored from I think age 14 to age 16 one-on-one by Aristotle possibly the greatest thinker of all time and Aristotle was mentored by Plato and Plato was mentored by Socrates The way of shadowing is also the way of the billionaire and the modern school system heard you into a large group and Doesn't really mentor you the modern system is not built around mentorship and therefore if you're this guy said you're 49 and you're broke and You feel like you're stuck Do your best to shadow whoever you can find that's 10 years ahead of where you want to be, you know Like just shadow and people say how do you shadow like I man? I wanted to learn agriculture sustainable agriculture when I was about 20 years old. I flew to Tasmania. I didn't even have money I used all my last money. I met a guy named Bill Molison. He's the founder of permaculture. He's now pretty famous I live with the dude before he died and and I just showed up and was like hey, I'll help you So some of it like I said can just be that pure tenacity to say I'm here I'm here to help and so in every city that you're in There is an investor right now who's 60 years old and You can be with them right now You have to hunt them down You know, what's your opinion of Thomas? Oh, he's centerpiece to MLK and Malcolm Yeah, I know some of his stuff. I read him. I stay away from politics I find politics to be less effective than people think it's a little bit like masturbation. You ain't gonna have a baby You might think you're creating a lot of activity, but no baby That's how politics are the world most politics what we attribute to success of politics is mostly demographic shifts so Crime dropped in the 1990s had nothing to do with Bill Clinton's Policing or Giuliani's policing not really maybe minor 20% Causation most of that causation was a shift in demographics who people are getting wealthier, you know across the world. So I Don't I don't I'm not a big Politics guy politics is the greatest example of mental masturbation ever ever to Inhabit the minds and souls of people on social media Ty, what signs you see to say the economy is gonna crash within too much I think most likely you're gonna have what's called stagflation in the economy So stagflation happened in the 1970s early 80s for nine years energy prices rose as energy prices rose everything you got to realize Fertilizer primary source of fertilizer nitrogen fertilizer comes from plastic from the same source as plastic comes from petroleum We have a petroleum based agriculture not even counting the diesel fuel and tractors and trucking So the second food prices will inflate Based on an increase in energy. It's not just your home heating bill Everything gets expensive the military think of the amount of fuel the military uses just in exercises It's you it's a number. You can't even fathom okay, and so What happens and it's hard to change energy pipe prices really fast So one of my mentors his name is sir Christopher Pissarides. He's from the London School of Economics He won a Nobel Prize in economics a little while back. I was with them in London. I try to visit him twice a year He's a mentor. He's not a billionaire, but he's smart and We were talking about it. He foresees kind of this Slow stagnation now the reason I think the stock market won't crash like a 1929 event is actually because of social media. There's a free flow of information now Walk with this. There's a free flow of information now that nothing surprises anybody anymore So therefore things happen much slower 1929 everybody got caught by surprise Right now half the world's predicting a recession right now like that's like what the world predicts, you know That might be a better way. I should have pointed this way Better light Charger on here Let's do a Q&A Do a rapid fire. How do you ask to shadow an investor? You got to go after like three or four Sometimes you got to show up at their door. I know do it at their office is better Do it at their office. Don't like show people used to show up in my house that gets insane Don't always show up at people's house It's just but offices are places. That's where I went. I met Mike Stainback my first millionaire mentor And I went to his office So it wasn't so creepy Best stocks to invest in I don't like the stock market that much unless I control the company. I Have a large. I have a large equity stake in two publicly traded companies once called Wilhelmina International It's a Wilhelmina models. It's the second largest. Well, it's the largest publicly traded model agency in the world So when I do public stuff, I try to like take controlling interest Oops, sorry, I dropped the damn Instagram phone What's your opinion of labor shortage in college degrees labor shortage will people gonna be looking for jobs soon People gonna be looking for job. That's just all temporary What's my thought on Neval Ravikon has interesting philosopher you know, I Don't I read I try to read a book a day I'm reading the book the Pulitzer Prize winning book on Harry Truman Like I'm continually cycling through who I listen to I don't just get stuck on one author But Neval has sharp stuff like all these guys Andrew Tate's got smart We text sometimes on Telegram me and Andrew Tate Joe Rogan, these are all sharp got you know sharp people, but I'm not necessarily a cult follower You know, I I believe you build it like a cabinet. I have a cabinet of smart people President United States has 15 people that he listens to You know, somebody said tie you're also a liar. I Love I love that part. I think people there I think there'll always be like 5 million people who think I like rented a house for a day It's like part of my journey in life to realize that the masses once the masses form an opinion like There will always be a subset. It's kind of like You know, there's a subset of think politicians There's a subset of people who have a certain opinion about Donald Trump or Biden or Obama and nothing gonna change our mind. It's kind of like the COVID whole conversation like People who believe vaccines will kill you they ain't never changing our mind and people who believe they're the greatest thing you've ever done that also is gonna Never end. Oh The Instagram dude Instagram crashes for me. Let me reset my Instagram All right, let me go back on it's to live dude tick tock so much stronger. All I can tell you is Goodbye Metta They have made some insane mistakes, and I'm not sure they're gonna catch the Chinese man go back Tick tock did tick tock didn't do shit first man Didn't do shit first Instagram did everything first by the way the way of the billionaire as I told you billionaires do not start The as many businesses from scratch as you think Elon Musk didn't start Tesla. He invested in it when they were having hard times He's a distressed investor He put six million dollars in every hundred thousand he put into Tesla is now worth 900 million bucks. So Anyway, what was I gonna say about that? There was a reason Hi, this got your SMMA course changed your life. I lost it Sorry my sound is back Please recap. I'm just I'm just riffing here. I'm just talking about stuff. Oh, I was saying Once people have an opinion of you whether it's me There's a subset of the world that thinks that you know I rented a Lamborghini for a day or a house that that subsets always gonna be there That guy told me something interesting really smart guy one of my mentors you wouldn't know who he is He's very undercover guy But he's he's a corporate raider. He's like a Carl Icon guy in New York He said people will only remember the highs and lows of your entire life. Isn't that weird? People only remember the highs and the lows Mark Cuban told me that too. He's like if you lose as long as the end of your life You're a win. Everybody will remember you that you know the guy that started Kentucky fried chicken Colonel Sanders Man, he was a loser his whole life Ever he started I think he literally is like on record for starting the most businesses that fail He started a hotel that caught on fire The dude at like 65 years old started Kentucky fried chicken and was remembered that for the rest of his life And at the same time Richard Nixon was a powerful president powerful politician Smart dude, but Watergate is all he'll be remembered for you know Think of Bill Clinton make a Monica Lewinsky So it's it's interesting think of Kobe Bryant dude at the beginning of Kobe Bryant career What did everybody think about Kobe Bryant? He had that big criminal case against him? That's all people talked about what I remember going to the NBA Finals against the Celtics in 2009 People were yelling out stuff from the crowd against Kobe Bryant Then Towards the end of Kobe's life all people remember now is he's the greatest. He's the goat. He's the ultimate focused person That's the weird thing. That's why you cannot you have to learn mass psychology, man And the psychology of the masses is very ethereal. It's not It's not that's why I have a farm you have to not be around humans too much I think that one of the greatest somebody asked me about philosophy one of the greatest Philosophies I ever read was a Native American. I don't even remember who it was like red cloud or something And it says what is man without the beast you should have a lot of animals around you Not just dogs and cats either. I have a farm. I have horses. I have cows. I have sheep man That's a better life humans. I'm not sure if you look at our evolutionary past The average tribe we lived in had 150 people and you probably had 500 animals, you know Look at the Messiah in Africa. They're a hunter gatherer or not so much. There are nomadic tribe Mostly with cattle you got groups of 150 people and large animal groups larger more animals So anyways a little side note on if somebody asked me about philosophy We've all to be social but not even just about people what I think about Andrew Tate smart guy a lot of smart stuff You know We got D platformed probably for saying too much the truth Remember you can't tell people everything, you know Tell you that right now. I don't tell everybody everything. I know you cannot tell everybody, you know You cannot tell everybody everything, you know, it's just not gonna work out for you At best you'll be able to tell a small tribe of people what you really believe and even then you have to be careful You know, but you can you humans evolve prior to be in Friendship groups of about eight people Interesting here in Scandinavia. They have the most friends of anybody America's a very lonely place, man America has tremendous modern society people are lonely pretty insane You ever regret buying a Lambo Rolls Royce? No, I like cars. I always like cars if I was the only person on earth I would not go pick up if I was like you ever seen that movie will Smith where he's like the last dude in New York City or Whatever and he went and got like a Mustang or something. I'm like you made a big mistake You should have gone a Rolls Royce or lamb Lamborghini and Rolls Royce are great cars They're great cars man Marcus Aurelius a lot of people like stoicism, you know, that's like a common thing People love stoicism. I'm not so in love with one philosophy stoicism is fine epicureanism I also believe in Epicureanism is more about living a life of lust and passion and there's power to that too You know, there's a power to that too somebody said Kentucky Fried chicken guys stole the recipe from a slave woman Is that true? I mean Ray Caracona Sanders was not in the 1800s. So how is there a slave woman? You mean a former slave? I think the last slave in America person who went through slavery died in the 1950s What business moguls do we know from the 1900s? Well, there's a lot in the 1900s Elon Musk was in the 1900s. You mean in the 1800s? That's what you must mean. You mean the 19th century That's that's a different what book am I currently reading Harry Truman book. It's called Truman Read a lot of biographies Elon Musk says that to a lot of smart people I've always I've been teaching people since 2013 Biographies man. I read the most I don't read as much business books as you think Someone said good. Remember my 30s were a clusterfuck of people trying to turn my life and businesses and God punched in me Somebody says literally hate humans shouldn't hate all humans Look man humans. There's humans have an exploitative gene And you probably have it too by the way before you get too mad at other people So Exploitation is part of the human experience women wear makeup men brag about most men People say that I faked it till I make it till I made it, you know fake it till you make it I don't even know what people are talking about specifically Do men fake it until they make it most guys do I mean when you go on a date You're bringing the best version of yourself. There's an element of fake it till you make it in terms of how extreme you go Is another level most morality is on a spectrum. It's just on us It's a spectrum thing man And the people that are most concerned with other people's morality are Generally immoral people themselves moral people don't think about it if you go on a date with somebody and You go and like she goes to the bathroom when she has her purse and she says hey Don't steal out of my purse while I'm gone like the thought that if that's in her consciousness That means she's a thief no normal person thinks of that so I get a lot of people that are like Oh tie billionaires are unethical people. I'm like Let me dig deep into your life. Let me take the flashlight of ethics on your life Like I said first off you're writing to me on an iPhone which without a doubt is an exploitative Company that for sure exploits child labor and you're probably wearing nikes, which does the same and You might be buying shit off she in an Amazon which does the same so to like I kind of believe What Jesus Christ said do not judge for the measure you judge on to others will be measured back on to you the problem is People don't measure back judgment. I like to do that sometimes. I'm like, let me spotlight you brother You are sure that all other people are highly exploitative You think that you know I'll have all these conspiracy theories of who blew up 9-11 and this and that and I'm like Are you just not the same person because you don't have The guile and skill set to pull that off because I bet you if you could run a funnel That would make you a million bucks a week that you would fucking run that funnel Whether you were selling cheap stuff made in a Chinese sweat factory or not and I have met people that are very moral I live with the Amish for two and a half years They probably wouldn't do that but that's a subset. There's a different set of genes That lives that lifestyle by the way being a non-exploitative is also genetic But I'll tell you this if you study advanced game theory, there's something called Hawks and doves theory tit for tat they call it people that If you are always a dove if there's too many doves in societies too many Hawks will appear It's actually a ratio. There will always be a certain amount of psychopaths You this Jeffrey Dahmer thing everybody loves on Netflix for some weird reason I don't know why everybody's infatuated with this show So women like it even more than men But it shows you that it's in the psyche of humans to be very attentive to the the Hawks and Think they're the doves, but there will always be a certain ratio of Hawks to doves and the people who are Sir who think they're doves and are very innocent But they're very much on the alert for other people's exploitation. They are lurking and waiting for their time to exploit Trust me man. Half the people on this live stream Let me just tell you this if you had a way and you could make ten million dollars right now or a hundred million dollars right now But you had to buy product from a sweat factory in China like would you do it You might be doing it right now a lot of drop shippers following me I'm like bro drop shipping at its core is Finding extremely low-cost of good products Crypto you think crypto is the most ethical thing on earth crypto is more centralized than fiat The top 20 wallets in crypto control like 80 90 percent of the wealth in crypto Crypto was is a pseudo Ethical it's like this pseudo. It's insane. I believe in crypto by the way I don't believe in the people that believe in crypto though But I believe in the conceptual non-governmental Currency concept, you know So let's talk about switch here from philosophy why I move out of California to high taxes fuck that Taxes I was paying 52.5 percent at 52 and a half percent taxes. It's insane Favorite car I've driven. I think the best luxury car is a Rolls-Royce hard to beat a Rolls-Royce They're made very well English know how to make cars I've driven, you know Bugatti's and stuff. I drove a Bugatti. I looked at a Bugatti in like 2016 It's some I met the CEO Bugatti actually And I took out one of their they had a 1600 horsepower and I was like what the fuck are you gonna do? What are you gonna do with a Bugatti I? Used to build you can take a Lambo and like go out to dinner in valet You're not gonna valet a two million dollar car and are also dangerous man driving a Bugatti's insane The I if you stomp on the gas you will crash instantly So am I Muslim? No. Yeah, do I look Muslim? Do I act Muslim? No, I'm not that religious I mean Muslim Christians got very Judeo Christian kind of belief in many ways. They're more similar than people think What book would you recommend for a 20 year old? good book to read I would say is One I've been telling people since 2013 read the book the one thing I think a great book to read depends on what you're doing a very simple book is how to win friends and influence people It had a big effect on Warren Buffett talking about the way the billionaire. That's a simple book billionaires like I re-read that book Some of these these classic book seven habits of highly affected people. It's a great book Begin with the end in mind. You know, that's a powerful concept. It's a philosophy Listen to Jim Rohn videos. I love Jim Rohn. I actually like Tony Robbins. Some people think he's cheesy I don't find him cheesy at all Fucking people are stupid. I think to Tony Robbins is cheesy. I'm like, what's she I'm like, you're watching tick-tock Tick-tocks cheesier man People lip-syncing songs like I don't even have a problem with it But don't be calling like Tony Robbins cheesy and you fucking are watching chicks all day like in Booty shorts fucking recreate dances like that that on a cheesy spectrum. That's cheesier What's another good book There's a great book a new book called lessons from Titans, it's the best new business book I've read lessons from Titans So I what do you think of Alex for Mosey Patrick on YouTube? You know, I haven't seen much of them, but he seems like a sharp dude anybody who gets to the tops pretty sharp You know all these guys Andrew Tate Gary Vee Grant Cardone to get to the time not a hater I have one thing. I'm not an envious person very rarely a few times in my life. I've been envious It's never people who make money only people I ever get envious fucking pro basketball dudes These guys you if you have a like I if you want a life for your son Haven't become a pro basketball player. Everybody loves you. You make money You get paid to be healthy and like all my pro basketball player friends. They get like The best physical therapists the best trainers the best chefs they get to travel. So only I never am envious I've never met a billionaire that evoked one ounce of Of envy and me most of them are kind of goofy with women and I really emulate them I mean, I don't really envy them I do want to invalid emulate them on the wealth creation standpoint to me They're kind of one not one hit wonders, but they they have a competitive advantage on the accumulating capital and resources and that I admire but not envy so All these people Tate like I've watched this stuff I see him I don't watch him on social media Hormose he seems to be I'm not exactly sure what he's main thing. He teaches. I feel like Andrew Tate's kind of main thing is like He's kind of like Be contrarian see the world how it is It's a little bit like what's the other the psychologist everybody likes Jordan Peterson Jordan Peterson sharp. He's a great speaker My he looks up to a guy named dr. David bus Jordan Peterson says his biggest influence is a guy named dr David bus who's been my mentor since I was 2013. I talked about three times a week. So Jordan Peterson I more follow dr. David bus, but Jordan Peterson has a great presentation style You know and he very much look here's the thing the world is becoming very fragmented across personality types, which are genetic Being a Republican or Democrat is mostly genetic. I know that pisses people off, but it's super that somebody said I'll tell you the biggest thing that I believe that nobody talks about almost everything's genetic and That I will turn out to be right 50 years from now people watch my videos and be like this fucking tie guy Said shit that almost nobody would say nobody even the people you think that speak truth Do genes are so powerful. You haven't you can't fathom The stuff that you think is environmental, you know, it's environmental They call it nature versus nurture bullshit almost every fucking thing is nature not nurture now There are things related to nurture. You can destroy the your genes. So for example, Shaquille O'Neal I he I just had him on my first podcast for I bought bodybuilding.com. He's seven foot two That's all fucking genes, bro. You cannot eat fucking anything to become seven foot two But if he had an environment where his mom or dad had underfed him The environment would have stymied his growth and he wouldn't have lived up to his seven foot two potential So the whole bullshit about epigenetics and all this stuff is a lot of untruth and stretching of the science I have a mentor. That's a very mind-blowing guy. He's the father of modern Evolutionary biology. He wrote a book called the folly of fools if you all want to read real shit Like you're asking me about all these social media people. You all want to read the real thinkers Like you're not even in all the people you all are asking me about read Robert Trivers Robert Trivers is probably the most cited biologist on earth. He came up with parent child Basically the theory of parental and child conflict. He came up with a concept of reciprocal altruism Some of the most power all the textbooks now. These are like the real thinkers in the world So a lot of people are on here and ask me about the thinkers on social media The thinkers on social media tend to be people that are good at speaking But they're not necessarily the deepest and the most powerful thinkers and I mean that at no offense to people I try to go straight to the source if people are quoting You know evolutionary theory In kind of anecdotal ways on tiktok. I just go read dr. David busses textbook evolutionary psychology. Fuck that I don't need to hear secondhand shit If you want to understand deep social truths and social dynamics Like i'm reading a textbook by yung yung was you had Sigmund Freud and then you had yung Yungian theory was kind of an offshoot They eventually he's a he's a swiss and I found it's crazy on my phone. I pulled up an i-book textbook By yung he he's invented the word introvert introvert extrovert So a lot of this theory I go straight to the source. That's why the way of the billionaire of this book I'm working on just go straight to the source. I can I've had conversations with the Elon musk I don't have to listen to people's interpretation. I don't know him well We just went to the same kind of kind of events, you know, but I've had conversations. I Try to glean as much as I can some billionaires I've only met for 10 minutes and some I have ongoing conversations with you know for years at a time Um, it's the same with philosophy economics and things like this Almost everybody's wrong about everything ladies and gentlemen Almost everything is wrong. Every one was everybody is wrong about everything Just so you know Like I can't you want the real truth almost everybody's fucking wrong about everything Everything Or me and andrew tate beefing. No This is what I was just saying. I don't know tate. We've dm'd and talked. He's a sharp guy Powerful guy. He seems to be a very quick thinker What i'm saying is I have a specific philosophy of going Most of my stuff I go to the original source That has nothing to do with andrew tate or alex for mosey or gary v or whatever I'm going who came up with this theory. Let me ask them So a lot for example a lot of the social dynamics. There's a lot of videos now about men and women Okay There's accounts. I follow an account on instagram. It's like fraud feminist All the stuff feminists are saying and there's a real rise of men versus women There's a real rise in people who are left In understanding trans and all this stuff and people who are much that's all genetic It's the fucking the genetic conversation and humans are Very smart animals so they can express their genes in a somewhat more convincing way, but they're still animals So Anyway, this conversation too complex for me to have on this but just remember almost everything's wrong Almost everybody's wrong and everything but you can go straight to the source if you really want to understand the delusions of men and women Read the book by robert trivers the folly of fools. That is a very powerful book If you really want to know about happiness You don't need to read the pop culture stuff and watch the pop culture tiktoks On what will make you happy read sigman freud's book It's called civilization and its discontents. It's so profound a book It's the only book that i've read a hundred or 200 times in five years The second chapter you just it's just like 10 pages This is a person that has tremendous Insight into human happiness sigman freud would don't do not almost everybody's wrong about everything Many people will tell you freud was a dumb guy who believed that you wanted to sleep with your mother um It's such a oversimplification of the genius that that man had and just remember A hundred years from now your grandkids will laugh at elon musk too. He will look like a fool That he was trying to figure out an electric car. So to the extent that um Sigman freud was incorrect on theories He invented psychology single-handedly in many ways and the theory of the subconscious So all I was trying to say is when you ask me what do I believe of the about these social media people I'm more of a go straight to the source kind of guy You know, so for example, when I go to make money, I'm like, how can I emulate? And learn from steve jaw steve balmer. That's the richest guy I've ever been You know one-on-one kind of mentor conversation with he made a hundred billion dollars. He built microsoft bill gates He was the ceo for 20 years. I can trust his opinion. I asked him hard questions like How can I have kids and i'm a busy entrepreneur? He told me he managed his time with an excel spreadsheets to always be sure he had time for his son Even though he was the ceo of the largest company in the world at the time And so I like Learning from that guy I don't need to fucking Scroll through tick talks to find that answer. You know what I mean? I don't need to just go straight to the source if you want to learn, you know, uh How to play basketball Watch michael jordan videos like you can reverse engineer a lot of you know, what's interesting koby bryant reverse engineer michael jordan almost Effortlessly, I mean not effortlessly almost To the infinite detail I like that about koby bryant. I actually interviewed koby bryant before he died There's a little video on my instagram. I asked him. Do you have mentors? He said I had a lot of mentors die You can go find it scroll back About six months before he died No, it was it was about Two months before his last game Yeah He's like bob eiger the ceo of disney is my seat is my mentor And he said he learned a lot from you know, michael jackson and michael jordan and jackson. This is interesting You will succeed to the extent you have people you can shadow early in life I read an interesting book on elvis presley the downfall of elvis presley Was he had this manager named the colonel who was very exploitative and he took the most successful Singer at the time elvis presley and he just destroyed elvis presley So most of you are going to rise and fall based on the power of people that you emulate and learn from It's pretty scary and some of you will think you don't need mentors, but you're always being mentored by somebody People that say they're not don't need a mentor. They're on fucking social media You're just using subconsciously you're being programmed by the algorithm You know, it's very hard to have an original thought Pablo Picasso said good artist copy great artist steel Are you rich pens who you compare me to? Rockefeller no a Rockefeller had six hundred billion dollar net worth Andrew tate's whole stick is trying to get you out of the matrix Yeah, what is your favorite scientific book besides david bus evolutionary psychology richard dockens selfish gene. That's a powerful book boy You have mania. How do you manage it? What kind of mean mania? You mean like bipolar manic Do you have a Lamborghini? I sold not right now. I sold one I had an event to door Thoughts on starting a career in investment banking You can make a lot of money investment bankers. I just did a deal and investment bankers got 2.2 million dollars for that That was their fee You can change your genes Yeah, you can have kids with somebody that's how you change your genes For those of you don't like something in your personality find a find a woman or a man that doesn't have those genes genes dilute over time That's your best thing if you're a little bit crazy whatever the fuck you do don't Procreate with someone crazy A lot of things schizophrenia and narcissism are highly genetic. They're they're heritable I think it's like 0.7 herib- heritability So epigenetics are not better than genetics. This is a myth That is a narcissistic thing people don't want to say I am who I am and some people are superior to me, but who cares I once went to a party with Javelin McGee and LeBron James was there. This dude is superior To you and I physically it's okay. Just fucking when you see that guy he is superior No epigenetics is going to alter your genes. LeBron's head is like this big This dude is a carrot. He is a modern Avenger He is a modern Avenger It's okay I don't care Lots of you have better genetics than me and some of you have worse genetics That's how the chips fall, man That's how the chips fall ladies and gentlemen And to the extent that you can accept that you're gonna be happier Epigenetics there is some epigenetic truth that genes can be altered, but not as much as you think Show me somebody Who could have epigenetically altered into a seven foot two Shaquille O'Neal who was I just never Ty you have a great villain voice Oh, there you go LeBron James head is that big because he is on steroids. No LeBron James is six foot eight, man His hands are like this big It's not steroids. He may be on stardom. I mean, I don't know. I don't think he is Shaquille O'Neal I just did this interview with him. He's fucking big dude. Shaq is I've been around tall guys Like I said, I'm friends with the guy Jovell McGee Dwight Howard used to shoot a shoot a podcast for the NBA at my house in Beverly Hills Nobody's like Shaq Shaq just insanity Thoughts on software engineers and tech companies great business to be in if you don't know what to do with your life Learn how to write software Learn how to write software That will that is a real skill that is not going away Practical skill. You don't know what to do in life start writing code. I'm actually gonna we're gonna take radioshack I bought radioshack and we're gonna start putting a lot of education on coding Learn how to code. There's crypto languages, you know, then these newer kind of languages and then there's old school coding I mean, there's everything I bought a company that has such a old POS system point-of-sale system that people who Understand code from a long time ago not even cutting-edge stuff can make money learn code teacher kids code That is a skill that is instantaneously valuable That is a skill. I got a guy. I hire people all around the world I've got a guy in Africa who works for me. He's fucking making crazy money and I do not care Like I'm like shit if you're even if this world you think this world racist The most racist Ku Klux Klan motherfucker will hire The darkest person on earth if that person knows how to write code. You think I'm joking fuck. I am not joking The most Ku Klux Klan redneck motherfucker Who's trying to build himself an app to make money will hire somebody the darkest person on earth And not care software is the great equalizer for in the career path I mean, it's it's for sure How much do looks matter they matter man Women care about looks without a doubt. Here's the thing women have a complex. I it's funny I've been looking in 2013 my first online education course was actually not going to be A business one. I bought this domain millionaire life coach. That was my before I just did it under my Tai Lopez name But I I also I found this course I I wrote this course. I recorded it on what I thought that 12 it was an algorithm Course that women's brain has 12 variables that they Basically balance out and quickly calculate How attractive they find you You know, so if you are very unattractive in your face, for example You can make it up like ugly dudes who are tall, but they're ugly in the face They do okay Right And guys who are short but have a pretty face do well. So you can see the algorithm So like Justin Bieber is short Conor McGregor is a shorter guy Okay, but they're good looking in the face. So they do a well My guess is I don't know Justin Bieber is like five foot eight or something like that Um, and then you have fucking there was a guy named the Kenby Matumbo. Anybody know the Kenby Matumbo funny story I heard somewhere. I don't know if it's true. The Kenby Matumbo is like seven foot tall not the greatest looking dude in the face and um The Kenby Matumbo used to walk around into nightclubs and just say who wants to sex Matumbo He didn't speak English wasn't his first language and women would like Just go home with them and fuck them Not a great face not a great face. So on the look side now, let's say you aren't tall and you're also you don't have a great face Then the simplest formula is fucking get yoked up will help you Muscle because women have an algorithm. So basically it's interesting science. I was reading a doctor bust sends me a lot of these kind of harvard articles Men are not as strong and not much stronger than women in the legs Women can fucking squat a lot Becca swanson is a woman. I know she squatted get us before record. I think 790 or something like most dudes can't squat 790 But her max bench was 601 Which is still insanity, but the max got there's a dude on instagram. I see bench in 1200 He does these little half reps, but still it's 1200 pounds. So in terms of Men if you can get your upper body is very attractive to women and you know, it's the interesting reason This is what this new science subconsciously Upper body strength is most correlated with the ability to kill another man Men before weapons, you remember homo sapiens about 700,000 It depends who you ask between two and 700,000 years old So there's many many thousands of generations Of your ancestors men killed with their fists a lot and so men who had wide shoulders And muscular arms were very powerful And so women kind of suck if you don't have a good face and you ain't tall get a strong upper body Particularly your you know Strong the shoulder that all the muscles that go into punching Which is a v-shape because your lats are where you punch from, you know, look at mike tyson's back People forget your back is very strong. So that's why that v-shape. It's not just a little waist It's also your lats need to be strong But then let's say you don't have muscle and you're fucking ugly And you ain't tall Well, you still have multiple other variables that you can win on Being funny, but having high status now high status can overcome everything It's insane now Status is more powerful than money Remember that recent picture that came out where leonardo de caprio is with that sanchez girlfriend of jeff bezos And she's looking at she's got the richest man in the world here, but she's in love with de caprio It's not just that he's good-looking. He also has tremendous status number one movie star At one point, you know So status is powerful and that's why men seek status Men love status Every dude wants to be the fucking godfather The godfather had that status and when you see people talking about it It's like how to be an alpha and all that stuff men want to be an alpha because Alpha translates into status and status overcomes bad looks and if you're short And money works to the extent Money money is not status. You can have a lot of money and not much status. That's why most people who are wealthy So donald trump is at the bottom of the forbes list But he has a lot of status And he's used that status To become the president of the united states. He's had many beautiful women beautiful wives. He has very healthy kids, you know So It works now. Donald trump is a tall dude though You know What about attractiveness in women? I mean So there's this concept yes women it's even more important because Anyway, everybody talks about I don't need to talk about this everybody and their brothers talking about this on social Women are certainly judge harder than men You know why we like beauty is because it shows low mutation load. Did you know that there's something not everybody knows low mutation load Low parasite load High testosterone means you can withstand the negative effects testosterone somewhat poisonous to the body So a teenager that can um bale that can withstand a lot of testosterone Is a healthier and stronger immune system That's why I said it's kind of all women and all men are just more ruthless than you think When women are looking at men they're looking at them through a ruthless lens like can you fucking survive the ruthless effects of testosterone Is beauty cultural some but not as much as you think fucking dany de Vito would be considered ugly at every damn civilization Yanomomo Indians weren't in love with the midget Ugly dude who's uncoordinated? Brad Pitt would have done well at any time De Caprio debt You know all these dudes would have done well at any time Look at this the statue of david Michelangelo sculpture He's got a six pack abs It's the same shit. They're doing Dudes are posting do I play video games? Man, I'm a weird dude. I literally got uninterested in video games around 16 years old or something I don't know how I no hate. I don't know how motherfuckers like video games. It's weird to me, but hey Good luck. If that's what you like life's probably a simulation In a 200 years ain't nobody gonna remember anybody So Fucked it. If you want to play video games, I'd find it unappealing To me now owning a video game company is very interesting Uh, that is interesting. I have a friend who was the main shareholder in um grand theft auto He made fuck. He made money boy He became the movie producer walto or bryan became the movie producer for the spider-man movies And the movie in the tv show scorpion is named after him First time I met him. He came to my house and he's like We're going to get sushi. He's like jumping the car and he's like this car is fucking armor plated with brahmas steel He's like I can withstand a direct rpg hit. I'm like bro. We're in la There's no rpgs but Anyway, it's crazy how everything about you is money. You know, I've hardly talked about money on here. I was talking about Status love and looks This is what people like now boy. They want to hear the broad philosophy from the people that they follow You know, that's fine I understand it You know, the more people there are in the world the fewer people people will really look up to isn't that interesting In some ways, it's good like the best way you could do the school system Is not every single school have a history teacher because there's not that many good history teachers So theoretically you take the best 10 history teachers in the world and stream them into every school in the world That's kind of what youtube is Because I had shitty history teachers So they ruin history for you. You have to memorize stuff like 1861 to 1865 is the civil war That's not the interesting part of the civil war The dates are not the interesting part So everything is ruined for people everything like history is the most fascinating thing on earth I've never met a smart person who doesn't study history never never But I mean the greatest leaders the greatest generals Napoleon Bonaparte was the greatest general in modern history by far He he went to 62 major battles and won I think 54 of them And he said study the caesars, you know study the great the swedish guy Study alexander the great study Hannibal Why would I say oh I was saying it's interesting the more people there are the less people the more people are on earth The less people are going to be listened to like now the kardashians have Combined like 500 million followers. It's insane And as the population of this world if it rises theoretically it goes to 10 billion Elon Musk says it's going to go down, but It'll go up first a lot of countries are having a lot of kids india pakistan Malaysia indonesia As the population grows Like more people will listen it won't even out it won't be like oh everybody's like now listening like Ben Shapiro will get bigger and Biden will get bigger and the kardashians and more people will listen to connor burger Which actually? Theoretically can be problematic the problem with social media is the person and this is why I did a lot of stuff That got attention you have to do things that get attention. You know what I mean So that's why you see like An Andrew Tate he needs to have a fucking baghadi now because other people have had Lamborghini you know So That's what you have to do Which so it's just understandable. It's a race to craziness to get Adoption and people are gonna have to say crazier things look at Kanye West. I mean Kanye West is a living marketing machine Same with the kardashians. They always know how to state in the news, but they do that by complexity, you know Ta you actually sound like the joker. Why do people say I've been getting that a lot that I sound like a the joker on batman Do I Maybe I'm an Aries. I think Aries are supposed to go You go more insane the older you get they say Haha, so I hit you when you listen to Ty you get the feeling he held back on the 67 steps I recorded the 67 steps in 2014 That's eight years ago now I've been exposed to a lot more of the world because my stuff blew up and all of a sudden the whole world was like in my In my brain like when you get a lot of people following you And interacting with you it like is almost like a digital download not necessarily for good either It's like a complex just like a vacuum cleaner effect You know And so that gives you different insight that I didn't have before Would you do an interview with Ethan Klein? I was on h3h3 show At first h3h3 didn't like me and then he came to my Huh, why does it say? My live access on tiktok was suspended What the fuck it says I did hateful behavior. What do I talk about? Maybe I said Andrew Tate It's interesting It says that I can't go live for seven days The fuck This is the shit i'm talking about. What the fuck is this? Did I say something hateful? huh Just what happened to Andrew Tate? Jesus The fuck are you talking about my god. That's why by the way i'm coming out. I got this app called speak easy Did I say something hateful just trying to actually think i'm not even mad. I'm trying to figure out What would their algorithm pick up? Maybe I said the word covet I said the word trans, but I was just talking about the world. I wasn't talking about an opinion Because I said something about china Probably because I said Andrew Tate That's my guess Actually, I said a lot of like right wing. I said donald trump connie west Andrew Tate uh and connie west that's probably probably those are like banned words on instagram I mean on tiktok Good god That is hilarious Oh, well I'm very interested I'm sure it is I wonder if it's from people Like tagging you Or I wonder if it's uh Algorithmic Very interesting. I'm gonna take a picture of this Your live access was suspended for violating our hateful policy We do not allow content that attacks threatens incites violence against or otherwise dehumanizes an individual or a group On the basis of protected attributes including but not limited to race gender sexual orientation or religion Use of slurs Unless the terms are reappropriated use self Referentially Such as in this song are they talking about the n word maybe or do not disparage praise promotes carifies or supports any hateful What did I uh, this is this is what we're talking about. What a world It's gonna be an echo chamber Maybe because I said jeffrey dommer Somebody wrote we love gays. Maybe I need to say that in every one of my thing What color is my begati? What does that mean? I see people saying that a lot now Let me google. What the fuck does what colorage or begati mean? I feel like i'm the last person people need to be talking to about luxury cars I've had all the luxury cars But what does it mean? What's the point? Oh, it's a way of flexing I've already done the flexing thing. I don't need to flex anymore How much is in your bank account? I got many rebuttals to I don't need flexing is not something I have to do. You have to flex at the beginning But not at the end Women are success based What happens to freedom of speech? So now i'm gonna look at youtube I think way too many people get canceled. That's just I do not believe in that I think it's like lead people on social media unless they're literally plotting the assassination of somebody just leave them who cares Ty your ego is bigger than your house, bro quit lying like you grew up poor you are privileged and accept that You had handouts your entire life I mean to the extent you're healthy and you're growing up you're very privileged But the thought that I grew up rich is not true Not even close. In fact, I posted once on my instagram I'm like, here's the mobile home that I grew up if you graduate high school living in a mobile home You ain't that privilege. Let's just be a little bit clear Is that true? I'm my off base here My name is ty Lopez I'm not black, but i'm not white At least in my name. I am half white But sure the most privileged thing that happened to me Is being born in the united states You know being born in the united states is a huge privilege in the sense that it's the highest gdp country in the world relatively low regulations Although that's changing But yeah What do I know about commodities? I watch a lot of agricultural commodities food is the basis For I mean look we have to grow more food in the next 10 years than you had to grow in the last 10,000 years Isn't that insane statistic? So food Is the commodity that I watch Wheat is it about nine bucks a bushel right now? I just looked today. That's interesting to me It's pretty high nine bucks. I grow wheat on some of my farms corn Commodities are rising on the food. I mean wheat is a big indicator of a lot of things part of that has to do with the ukraine Someone says ty thinks he knows about women This guy's got to be just trying to troll me I know a thing or two about women, but no one knows that much about women But I've dated a few pretty women in my life Favorite book that I've read right now. What's the best business to start today? Let's talk about that That's business. I can tell you this two things If you're super introverted don't want to talk to any people learn how to write code. That's number one number two number two number two simple thing learn the e-com game which I would include social media and that and I would Put myself up on websites like Upwork even like facebook marketplace I would reach out to a whole bunch of instagram accounts most of these You know instagram has like a store now or like clothing brands can sell their stuff They got they have like two likes. I would DM all those brands and say let me fix your business You can make you can charge 2,500 bucks a month for consulting 1,000 to 2,500 even as a beginner pick up 10 clients you're making 25,000 a month man Dad I know and you can live anywhere And you don't have to be as good at it as you think you just need to be smarter than them You know Husser's university is the best business model hands down That's like an affiliate thing, right? How do I deal with stress and anxiety? This is an interesting question Most of my life I hadn't had much stress and anxiety now my businesses are much bigger. So I have more complexity My holding company the company's inside my holding company that I I'm the CEO of and the majority shareholder of the Holding company Is on track to do over 700 million of revenue this year So I have a lot of responsibilities. That's why I don't do that much social I'm doing this now more than normal Best thing you can do is start your day with like actual visualization of what you want say to yourself like Today's gonna be the most powerful day of my life. I know it sounds cheesy, but man that thing or think about that do that simple stuff like that Literally say to yourself like this is going to be the most powerful week of my good life That that that works for some reason Now there's a limit to it Okay, stay in your lane Meaning don't visualize yourself doing something. That's not your destiny Does that make sense? So Look, if you're a five foot one, don't be visualizing yourself as a pro basketball center. It ain't in the cards, man Move on to something else So Don't underestimate yourself, but you don't need to overestimate yourself You know what I'm saying? It's like the middle way. That's the way of Aristotle You know one of the great thinkers of all time Okay, let me try something I've seen all these people that want to go live with me. I forgot to ever say yes. I should say yes to somebody Let's take a few guests If you want to go live just press the live with me Just take a few people live So I always great insight when you chat. Thank you How do you increase your status? Men gain a lot of status through intelligence is a simple way People underestimate that Cutting edge in elect, which is not something that you have to be Albert Einstein with I'll tell you this Read man Reading instantly I've seen this happen 50 times in my life When you're reading something you'll be able to offer people insight even people smarter than you and they'll They they will see that Um as kind of reciprocal altruism Okay Thanks for all the wisdom ty own a company now nice Nice All right.

I don't know it, but I would like to do it. I feel like There's so much opportunity in asia But I don't know it well enough like i'm a for it, you know, like when you don't know the culture But that you should do it That's what one of my mentors told me he said if you see something And nobody else is doing it. That's your sign. You should buy a company. I bet you Even in college you can buy a little simple company. Look for somebody who's old wants to retire You take over the business and you make payments to them Over like You know Two years And you take over their business for him. It's a guy had a friend. He bought a fencing company in california An older guy had a business. They just built fences in people's backyard He bought it for almost no money and he just paid the guy Out of the profits for five years and he didn't have any bought a like five million dollar revenue company for almost no money So that'd be a good thing for for somebody like you. That's a simple thing you can do man find simple businesses and um Don't start with super complex ones. Don't start with sexy ones sexy businesses are harder to make money because there's more competition You know what I mean? I don't know if you can still hear me might have broken up here I think I lost signal with them How do you talk to women at a gym that you find attractive? You know what? Oh What's up?

You know, okay I know I should have hired you look at this thing appeal submitted it'll take 24 hours to review your appeal man Hey, let me can I ask you this quick? Can I ask you a question? This guy is asking me in youtube And I have my opinion, but I want to hear your opinion because yours you have a probably a better opinion to me He's asking how should he approach women at the gym that he finds attractive? What is your advice to him? But do you think do you think a woman Can also be like Don't talk to me at the gym like do you ever think there's an environment where just like women were the best advice is just Don't do it at the gym. Or do you think it's good to do at the gym? You need to have your own podcast man You give it you can give some advice here because I feel like dudes got like I've never talked to a woman at the gym I feel like I feel like first off Women sometimes are traumatized by guys coming up to them too much at the gym, you know, so it's like But maybe I'm wrong. I think it's also cultural like I'm in Sweden right now talking to strangers like really traumatizes people California is like you when you live in LA by the way if guys are shy Go to LA Everybody wants to be recognized. I heard this comedian film for him on war He's like the secret in LA is just walk up to people and just be like I'm a big big fan of your work People will like thank you like you got to go to the united states I mean you got to go to LA if you want to learn how to talk to women because no woman gets offended Just pretend you're her fan Even if she hasn't been in any fucking movie She'll be like I'm gonna be in one soon anyway So I don't know I'm the right person to give advice for that. Okay But what I would just say is shoot the shit and hope it works out So you don't mind if guys come up to you and shoot their shot I'm a people person. This was strangers quite regularly I'd say. Yeah, okay Nice. So, okay. What else is on your mind? So are you let me ask you this Do you feel anxious a lot? I was usually one of those like thoughts or something which I think is kind of our usual thing You know what somebody just said going back to tick talk I mentioned the Ku Klux Klan. Maybe that's what it is Yes, you got Andrew Tate and fucking Ku Klux Klan And I was talking about but I was talking about it Not in like a racist way. I was saying if you know how to write code Anyway, I'm not even gonna say that anymore. That's very interesting. That's the problem with AI Like it's gonna start picking up on and create echo chambers Because it's just gonna block everything. It's pretty interesting So what? No, I got blocked for seven days. I can't do a tick talk for seven days Somebody said it's because I said the word ugly Oh Yeah, I don't even know what it is. We'll see It says is the information above accurate? No Tick tock misunderstood my live content. Thank you. That's what I'm gonna put feedback submitted Somebody said it's because I said bill gates so what uh Do you own a business or what's your thing like how you making money? That's what I'm up to now Yeah, you know, I did life insurance. I'm gonna tell you this if you yourself life insurance You can sell anything because think about it life insurance You are selling something that doesn't benefit the person until they die That's a hard sell That's a hard sell Here's a secret to selling life insurance. I'm gonna tell you this right now Sell to the wife because men are like, ah If I die, I don't want my wife getting all this money and getting another husband Using my money so I when I sold life insurance I would tell the dude your wife's gonna love you for this do it for your wife I'd get the wife on the phone if I do it in person And then the husband would see like that the wife was like really liking this and that closed the deal You have to use multi dynamics because life insurance sometimes I would just talk to the guy That's how I started using the internet for life insurance Generate life insurance leads now it's hard. Like it's expensive To bid on keywords life insurance is like 20 bucks a click. It used to be 20 cents a click It's pretty insane. So So running out What are you doing? Sorry Like google ad words for life insurance keywords used to be 20 cents for one click Right now you have to bid like 17 bucks It's insanity Insanity Honestly, I happened to do to like the I guess yeah putting out advertisements How to even do it how much it costs? I didn't even know that what you are advertising Kind of determines Yeah, you bid on keywords. That's why also use a referral program That there's certain laws sometimes and what you can pay But if you can get your current people to refer three people that you can talk to that helps a lot That's an old school. That's not a cutting-edge kind of idea, but that works You know that works But we're saying on now in the industry that I'll go on and you know do more advertisement stuff or I reach out to more strangers Um, I actually have a question. Yes. Uh, I all your page for a few years I remember there used to be a really funny guy that you used to be on your instagram I don't remember his name Zach Zach Yeah, yeah, yeah Yes, I need to He's uh, he's in texas. He was traveling with me and he's doing so he's doing airbnb now So he's he's making money with air. He's making money with uh, one of the systems that I taught But yeah, I'm gonna he's gonna be super happy. You said that he loves attention You literally should DM him he loves any time a woman would be like where's Zach I would actually let me let's record a little video for him. He's gonna be very happy I'm gonna what's happened to him hold on So just you gotta be like an actress say it over like you're saying it the first time Let me send it to him Okay So what were you who were you asking about? Zach she finds you very funny. She also said extremely attractive and funny Look at that Zach you got to come back He'll be You always got to throw a little flattery into men Even if they don't believe it men are more susceptible to flattery than women. It's hilarious Yeah, and just like there's actually science that men are More miscalibrated on their looks like there's a lot of dudes that are Think they're good-looking that aren't women get more feedback from other women And society so there's less delusional women I know a lot of people are going to disagree with me on that a lot of guys think women are delusional But there's real science that men are much more delusional on how they look You know Usually more Okay, there's I have a lot. I was at the Oh, yeah, I was at the gym today and I was just watching like well It was the gym had so many guys there And this is in Scandinavia. So there's a lot of beautiful women here, but there was I was like The weights this one section was all guys and I was just watching the guys looking in the mirror I was just thinking Geez Are you like what I know it's funny like that the differences like men are Mostly looking at the upper body like biceps and women stare at their butt in the gym. It cracks me up Yes, yes, so the question is is that because of the Kardashians? Is that a new cultural thing? Or have always women been infatuated with their butt? Well, I'll tell you from from having like I used to have a lot of I used to have a lot of you know, like parties on my social media men definitely like more men comment on curvier women In my experience than anything it's like it's if I would put curvy women On my snap or on my insta story way more responses And I and I also think guys like the girl next door look if a woman's too beautiful In Spanish you call it gata. It's like that really like striking Face men get intimidated and don't connect It's like you look at only fans these some of these only fans women that are making just like a million bucks a year A lot there's more curvy ones than like stick figure supermodel look There are people that like the the supermodel look for sure But I would say I don't even think it's close. I think a girl next door with curves gets like More men it's more relatable. I'll put it that way I feel like the time that has made people more Into it, you know the whole Kardashian era we can call it Well good, I'm glad you came on we'll have to connect again come back on Thank you for saying that for Zach Zach is literally gonna Zach's gonna reply in like five minutes Zach's gonna be very excited That you did that so thank you for uh All right, bye I'm not even sure you know I was looking I was like how do you even is there a way to even hang up here?

Oh, I see where to do it. I got to do it in the arrow up in the top. All right Thank you Damn, I finally figured out I do they make this so complicated Do I think The market correction will exceed 20 percent from here Sure in certain stocks are gonna pop more down more than 20 percent For sure I mean not for sure highly likely Best thing to grow on the land simplest thing is chickens Chickens is like if you could have one animal They're relatively small They can eat your food scraps. They're omnivores. They eat almost everything So Yeah, chickens man people should have their own backyard chickens They're easier to fence in and say goats are super hard cows are more dangerous, especially to city people That don't not rabbits. Yeah, rabbits are tough to keep in rabbits dig under stuff Chickens can give you something to eat without killing them Right, like how you're gonna eat a rabbit You have to kill it Then you don't have the rabbit anymore and a lot of people are traumatized killing rap I've killed every animal. I do not like killing rabbits That is something I leave alone. If anybody ever been on a farm, you'll know what I'm talking about. I don't grow rabbits Chickens like I said, you can they can live their life out The main problem you can have with chicken is predators dogs foxes. Everything tries to hawks I got a farm with a couple thousand chickens so All right, let's talk a little business then I'm gonna head to sleep. I don't realize what time it is Yeah rabbits leave rabbits for the wild Big fan since 2016 my life wouldn't be the same without you just want to say thank you julian Well, thanks for the compliment, man Best business to start in 2023 Get a little e-con consulting business the best thing Do viral videos for people Edit their Shopify store for them do Facebook ads like Facebook ads not that complex to learn Not that complex Copywriting you can do but you need to know how to write You know What do I think about web 3? I mean web 3 is fine. Web 3 is the whole crypto angle on stuff Web 3, you know, it's already happening. You got NFTs. You've got all this kind of world decentralized but remember Things take a while to adopt and so you can be early to something and it'll take you a while to get the Benefit that you want crypto is very volatile. I still believe in crypto. It's just a volatile thing You're gonna have to have the personality trait that takes That can handle insane volatility Bitcoin was at 68,000 and like pops down to 19 18,000 a lot of people can't handle that You know, I'm saying a lot of people can't handle the volatility. So you have to be able to deal with that and that's why And also crypto is relatively easy to build competitors. So you have an inundation of different brands which creates confusion There's a low barrier to entry. It's not hard to make you can fork existing code. That's the whole idea of crypto, right? So you can fork stuff. Yeah, I'm on a ball. I don't like to sit on a regular chair So crypto has that competitive problem So you get infinity brands being created and people don't know what to invest in people like I'll ripple and oh and then there's these, you know, it's kind of like Infinity new coins that that are built and that's tough for people to deal with, you know What about distractions? How do you deal with distractions? Set a timer? That's what I do I do things in 18 minute spurts What are the benefits of sitting on a ball like sitting on a chair? It's too hard. It's tough on your low back Moving around basically being sedentary is tough on you. What about doing credit repair? Yeah, you can do that's a complex business though. There's a lot of regulations around it Ty, why are you promising dreams, bro? Telling people that run Facebook ads for businesses is dreams It's not such dreams, is it? What country has the best women depends what you want, man Depends what you want If you like extroverted Go to brazil go to los angeles, you know If you like introverted Go to scandinavia But I mean i'm oversimplifying the words Somebody wrote india is the best place ty, which course of yours do you recommend now? And I still think smma works so much. I'm gonna putting out a new version of it How do you find your voice and become a public speaker? I mean, I think being a public speaker is a combination generally of natural interest in public speaking anybody can learn to be a public speaker, but To really be good at it soccer you have to want to play it a lot So in general people like the greatest speaker in history was this guy demoths than these he was a Greek orator and He had a stuttering problem, but he loved speaking so much. He just would spend, you know 20 hours a week practicing public speaking And so he was able to overcome his stuttering problem, but he loved public speaking So the key thing is You can have impediments to what you're trying to do, but if you don't love it You're not going to be that good at it. I was always able to be a public speaker Generally public speakers are extroverts If you look at the people in general on social media who do the best as public speakers or extroverts But I mean the most followed guy on social media. What's that guy's name? He's like he's he's from Africa and he has this like insane following now. He's the most followed person on tiktok What's that guy's name? Who knows what it is? Oh, that's a dad. It's funny how instagram has a Lag but anyway, that guy's an introvert. So he doesn't even talk on his instagram on his tiktoks so Ty you got me reading seven years ago. Good You learned about reading. Yeah kb copy is his name Ty, what are your thoughts on a recruiting business companies paid 20 to 30 percent? Yeah That's a great job recruiting talent for people if you It's not even that hard to start Absolutely I I I think building a HR recruiting business is a is a great business to do and you get paid You get paid. I pay those guys a lot of money Any advice on promoting a cleaning business? Pay people to give you referrals Tell your existing customer if you know the value of a customer Let's say the value of a customer lifetime is $10,000 pay like 2000 bucks For somebody of your one of your existing customers to that you do cleaning to refer A friend maybe not 2000. I mean if your ltv is lower lifetime value if it's 200 bucks then focus on a You know pay a 200 dollar commission. All right donovan Donovan I rarely block people but donovan is like bro. We get it. We get your stick It's boring now Always be interesting never be boring Do I drink or smoke at all? Yeah, I usually like block like one person a stream out of like 50 000 people who join some people just fucking boring Oh my bro. You can't be that boring I don't mind haters, but you got to be like a little bit of an interesting hater You have to like make me think like maybe you have a point Like a hater to me. I'll keep them on if I'm like, maybe they have a point The second I think you don't have a point. I want to be like, all right, you're annoying Tiger I'm an introvert and in management any advice on how to be you can be a successful leader as an introvert In fact, I'm reading the book about harry truman president of the united states He was a leader in and you know world war one And he was an introvert. He led by example, you know some introverts lead oftentimes not so much by talking but by what they do But there are some people to be clear Who need to be led with words so humans kind of bifurcate? Some people want to be led by introverts and some want to be led by extroverts so to the extent that You have to find your followers you know thoughts on social anxiety very common A little bit hard to overcome for some people, but you it can get better Some people have I never had social anxiety. That's a classic sign of an extrovert. I'm more extrovert. My dad was an extrovert To the extent that you're super introverted That's what I was saying. It's like fine. Why do you need this is my thing if you're a super introvert Like why do you need to become an extrovert? Like I don't there's a lot of people that they're like life purpose Is to become an extrovert. I'm like, why do you have to become an extrovert? Why what's the point? I don't get it Man, it's insane. Instagram comments are lagging. There's like 20 minutes behind Maybe youtube's gonna win the game Because sometimes you can't get a job if you have social anxiety start your own business write code That's a great thing If you have social anxiety learn how to write software Then you hardly have to interact you'll have to interact a little bit but not much Time my girlfriend is extroverted by nature and thus slightly flirty. How do you deal with that? So you're saying you kind of get jealous because she's super flirty Look man, the jealous gene And that's another thing believe it or not. That's genetic. It's environmental too Some people are just more the oftentimes people have a lot of testosterone Although not just testosterone even high levels of estrogen. I These are some kind of a mixture of genes will make you and if you're a super naturally jealous person Just don't date somebody. That's crazy flirty. I mean why why torture yourself, man What's the point But if it's just a minor amount then just you'll learn to get over it, but I'm not gonna a lot of people will just tell you Be tougher, but I think some people are sensitive, man, and you're not going to be able to get over it So how do you start out writing code? There's all these websites. I'm gonna soon we're gonna put some stuff on radio shack learn to write code. God, it's a powerful thing man Almost every rich dude in the world learned to write code Elon Musk learned to write code mark cuban wrote code mark zuckerberg wrote code bill gates wrote code. It's like It's insane how few people learn to write code Everybody learned to write code almost everybody That's what that's the hyper wealthy now Ty you wish you do you wish you had entered the m&a world sooner? I entered the m&a world I bought businesses even really early in my career But yeah, I mean Buying stuff is The way of the billionaire All right, I'm gonna go to bed soon getting tired I rarely get tired. Do you know another way of the billionaire? A lot of energy I rarely get tired. Those of you who get tired early test your damn blood. See what's wrong Sometimes you can figure it out test your blood What about cannabis industry just the dangerous thing in the cannabis industry? It's just going to be commoditized. It's a plant And people are going to learn to grow it cheaper and cheaper every year Who's the smartest person you know? Robert Trivers, maybe Richard Dawkins I have a mentor who won a Nobel Prize in economics. He's smart guy professor christopher priserides He's a sir. He's the queen. He made him a sir at london school of economics Got a mentor as a harvard professor. He's smart my business partner smart There's a lot of smart people in the world you'd be surprised It's just there's so many The world's lost its way on a common sense scale. That's what's happened in this world The world's lost its way. We're too disconnected from the land work to and so even smart people have lost common sense How do you find someone you trust transferring money through your business? Use a bank man, even though you can't always trust a bank, but What do you mean? Do you have some dude like funneling money for you? Are you giving him a sack of cash like the willful wall street?

I mean you could But what's the point? It's not that accurate of a theory that it's just always right It's like being a stoic.
