Importance of Focus & Energy I Fam Mirza DSH #437

And everybody dresses a little bit differently, but it is said in a multitude of studies that the way that you dress, okay, people will judge you before they even hear you talk.

That's true.

I pull up to certain places in sweatpants and I don't get talked to, you know?

Yeah, you're definitely not.

Yeah, then I roll up my sleeve and I pull out the AP and it's a different story.

It's a different conversation.

Wherever you guys are watching this show, I would truly appreciate it if you follow or subscribe.

It helps a lot with the algorithm.

It helps us get bigger and better guests, and it helps us grow the team.

Truly means a lot.

Thank you guys for supporting.

And here's the episode.

Welcome to the Digital Social Hour.

I'm your host, Sean Kelly.

I'm here with my co-host, Wayne Lewis.

What up, what up?

And our guest today, Fan Mirza, how's it going?

My man, what's going on?

Can't complain.

In the building.

Mr.

Energy himself.

He's all dressed up.

Right, Mr.

Mops.

You walked in, I was like, oh, shit.

Where Where are the drugs at, man?

Oh, man.

Give people the rundown on your journey.

The rundown on the journey?

Yeah.

Man, serial entrepreneur, founder of a lot of DDC brands.

The journey continues.

The Marathon.

Split jerseys.

That's how we connected.

You're a Jersey guy.

Yeah.

He used to make split jerseys.

They were in the Super Bowl, right?

Big events.

Oh, for real?

Yeah, yeah.

Oh, that's fire.

Are those the ones the parents wear?

Where it got the separate sons?

Those are the ones that are like Hov War.

Those are the ones that Fab War.

Those are the ones that, yeah.

A lot of different artists.

Oh, okay, okay.

And you got...

Huge in the music industry.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I think that was at a point where we were at

the cusp of what was the brand identity of the music industry.

And that, you know, the jerseys took a form at that point in time.

They did.

It was hot.

And I'm not going to lie, I am the founder of the Spook Jersey, but I didn't really wear jerseys like that.

I didn't feel like that.

It was a trend.

And I always felt like it was a trend.

But, you know, yeah.

So you're the originator of the split jerseys.

Wow.

That's a big deal.

That's nearly everybody.

That was like the thing.

Yeah.

Split jerseys still to this day.

Like, people, you still see them around.

For sure.

When I did the two chains jerseys, he wanted a split jersey style.

Really?

Yep.

Chains?

Yep.

That's what's up.

Yeah, it's sold.

I like chains.

And then from there, you got involved with Spotify, right?

And then you helped bring big artists to them?

No,

man, it was a lot of different things, you know.

Things were going through a transition.

It came out with custom-made gear after the split jerseys.

After I sold out of the split jerseys, everybody wanted things customs, right?

What ho said on that track?

Ho said,

Ho said,

I don't wear jerseys.

I'm 30 plus.

Give me a fresh pair of kicks and some button-ups.

Right?

And that was at a point in time where it was like the S-Dot Carters.

The cufflinks.

Yeah, and the cufflinks and all that.

So that was an interesting time.

And it went to the custom era and then it came to the Kanye era where people are dressing much more normal nowadays.

So that was interesting to see

where culture has gone.

Where

fashion is an art form.

The way that you dress today,

it gives off the personification of who you are.

Right?

So fashion being an art form, that was at the art form that hip-hop was at that particular era.

And everybody dresses a little bit differently, but it is said in a multitude of studies that the way that you dress, okay, people will judge you before they even hear you talk.

That's a fact.

That's true.

I pull up to certain places in sweatpants and I don't get talked to, you know?

Yeah, you're definitely not.

Yeah.

But then I roll up my sleeve and I pull out the AP and it's a different story.

It's a different conversation.

Yeah, so it is best based on appearance because, like you said, fashion is our form of speaking without being.

It's speaking without speaking.

How you look is definitely important.

Your appearance is always got to be.

But then it's another conundrum.

When Steve Jobs said that

I don't have enough thoughts in a day to figure out the outfit I'm going to wear in a day and to the greatest of all time, you know, for him to say that, I thought it was very interesting.

You know, there's only 60,000 to 80,000 thoughts that a human has in a day.

So what are you thinking about today?

And then what are you focused on today is pretty much what constructs your reality within 5, 10, 15, 20 years.

The interesting thing that

I always read studies.

I was talking to you about

a few things and you said that I don't listen to music.

And I respected that.

Because it depends on what type, the content that you intake today is the content that you output today, as far as your performance goes, as far as who you are as a being, and as far as who you are becoming as a being.

Okay.

So, if you listen to the wrong music, and if you listen to things like how you pull up to the party and you bring the perks, things like that, these are nonsensical messages that affect you,

that affect you, and that affect your energy as a human being.

Because then you have that resonating through you.

You said to me on the phone, you said, I don't listen to music.

I only listen to podcasts and I only listen to, you know, books, audio books, and so on and so forth.

And

I took that to heat and I, and I really respected you for that.

That's real.

Yeah.

You know, when we were in music, it was a bit different.

You know, I bet DMX is turning in his grave today.

This is nonsensical music.

Like,

how you didn't pull it, yeah, very low vibration, but just very nonsensical messages.

How you pull up to the party and you didn't bring the perk.

Like that.

I don't want my daughter listening to that.

Yeah, people laugh, but I I don't want my daughter listening to that.

I don't want my, my son thinks it's hilarious.

You know, my son's 14, but it's one of those things where it's that energy that follows you throughout the day.

The music that you listen to follows you throughout the day.

The people that you talk to follow you throughout the day.

The thoughts that you have follow you throughout the day.

And if you only have 60,000 thoughts within a day,

I would highly recommend that you focus.

on every single one of those thoughts that you have within a day in order to create your future.

because that's what anxiety is.

Anxiety is thinking about the future and not creating the future in your present moment.

And that's what depression is.

Depression is thinking about the past because there's no way to change the past moments.

So, the only thing that you should be thinking about is being focused on the present moment and how you will turn the present moment into your future.

Because that is all that we are in, right?

We are in a time continuum.

The most valuable asset in your life is time

it is not money

it is absolutely not money as to the people that are listening to this it is absolutely not money it is time

every billionaire will tell you every single billionaire and two of my mentors are billionaires but every billionaire will tell you

That they would take their money to buy more time.

They can buy anything.

Yeah, right.

But they're not telling, you know.

Are you interested in coming on the Digital Social Hour podcast as a guest?

Well, click the application link below in the description of this video.

We are always looking for cool stories, cool entrepreneurs to talk to about business and life.

Click the application link below, and here's the episode, guys.

That makes sense.

So how do you stay focused with all these distractions?

You got girls, you got parties.

You know, how do you stay locked in?

There's a lot of different techniques that you can use to stay focused.

You know, the Pomodoro technique I feel like is very interesting.

So here's an interesting fact for you.

People check their emails.

It is said that employees check their emails every five minutes.

Okay.

Nowadays, people check their social media much.

earlier than that.

They check their social media every three minutes.

But as far as emails go, every time you check your email every five minutes, it takes 64 seconds of time to bring your focus back to the level that it was at before you checked your email

okay so you wasted one minute out of every six minutes that you have had in a working day or in your full day okay

so 64 seconds to come back to that state of focus but you'd be better off to learn things like the Pomodoro technique which states that if you do a focus task for 25 minutes you take a break and then you do a five-minute break and then you come back to the task, you do it again for 25 minutes, you take a 10-minute break, you come back to the task, you do the 25 minutes again and you do a 15-minute break.

That is what progresses your main larger cohesive goals a lot further than you checking your emails.

Interesting.

I do check my emails a lot, to be honest.

I got to work a lot.

But I think what he's saying is absolutely true because even with us, you know, pottery as much as we do, we're off our phones

a lot of the time in a day.

And after, I too much don't check it as often as I as I as no, I mean,

there's a difference, right?

There's a difference between focused attention and fragmented attention, right?

The emails, the social media, the text messages, so on and so forth.

That fragments your attention.

My phone stays on focus mode all day.

I'm usually on do not disturb mode, as you probably know, for over six, seven hours, six, seven, eight hours a day.

Wow.

Right?

That's what keeps your focus because you have to see what your larger cohesive vision is.

You have to see what your larger cohesive goal is.

That's what I was talking to you about, about the marshmallow study.

Yeah.

So describe that study for people that don't know it.

Yeah, so I mean, the marshmallow study pretty much states, you know, there is a, and it is done by Stanford, 1970s.

And

kids were offered one marshmallow or two marshmallows.

Okay.

You can get the one marshmallow immediately right now, or you could wait for 15 minutes and get two marshmallows.

All right.

Only 22% of the kids got to the point 15 minutes where they took the two marshmallows.

Those kids were visited again.

when they were 30 to 35 years of age and it was found that those 22% of kids were much more financially stable, they were much more healthier, and they were much more happier in life because they had that delayed gratification.

But it was also found the conclusive data of that study was it was because of their cognitive ability to focus that led them to that.

It was their cognitive ability to focus to release their desire of the end object and to also see their larger cohesive vision at the end of it.

For them to see their future goal, they needed to focus on their their future goal.

Their future goal was to

garner two marshmallows,

and they did that.

Yeah, wow.

But that was very interesting to see that you know, 30 years later, you're talking about a very long

span of time.

Yeah, that is a long time.

Do you believe everyone can stay focused and locked in and become millionaires, or do you think only a certain segment of the world has that capability?

I don't think focus is an ability,

I think focus is a skill that can be trained.

And for people to stay focused in the present moment, they have to be trained at that.

There's a lot of different things which they obviously don't teach you at schools, or maybe there's not even courses about it or whatnot.

But in order to stay focused,

it's about your habits.

It's about the Pomodoro techniques, about Eisenhower matrixes, about time blocking.

It's about creating milestones,

milestones, sub-goals.

You have to have all these things.

No one ever walked around and ended up at the top of Mount Everest.

No one ever walked around and ended up at the top of Mount Everest.

There is road maps.

There's clear, tangible goals.

There is sub-goals.

There are a lot of things that you have to hit in order to get to the top of Mount Everest.

So with that said, you have to you have to you have to you have to focus on what gets you that clear, larger, cohesive vision at the end of it.

How do you hit the pinnacle at the top of Mount Everest?

I've got to the top of the Rockies.

Now, Mount Everest,

much harder tasks.

People die on the way there.

People definitely die.

Most people die on the way there.

I've seen documentaries on it.

It's crazy.

So, how do you feel like

what purpose does money serve in your eyes?

And do you feel like you can buy happiness with it?

Or is it a good down payment?

I don't.

I don't think it is.

You know, as to the mentors that I have who are billionaires, I would not say that they are my mentors who are the richest.

They are the richest of them.

But who are the happiest of them?

I would say the happiest of my mentors are not the richest of them

Okay, so as far as being a millionaire Hey, does it buy happiness?

It absolutely

does not well buy happiness.

That's what the

on it it absolutely does not buy happiness money

To a certain extent buys happiness, but at the same time after a few million It's all the same brother.

Mm-hmm.

What are you gonna do?

You're gonna get a bigger jet?

Yeah gonna sleep on a bunch of beds on jets.

What are you gonna do with it?

Right?

But as far as billionaires go, it doesn't buy half.

I don't, I don't, I don't think, and you know, I think this is an interesting study.

Um, I don't think anybody's done it yet, but this would be interesting to see.

Um,

I don't think that as far as billionaires go, if you were to research how a billionaire became a billionaire, I would say that under 1% or maybe none

would have set the goal to be a billionaire.

Wow.

Why?

Billionaires don't do it for that.

Billionaires do it for the fact to impact the world.

When you make money, as to the money that I've made, you know, multi-millions of dollars, as to make money, you set out to impact the world.

I would not have been a millionaire, a multi-millionaire had I not touched 10,000, 20,000, 100,000, a million people.

That would not have been the case.

Had I only set out to sell billions.

Let's say that my customer is recidivist.

Let's say that my customer never comes back.

Let's say that my customer, you know what I'm saying?

Right?

Think about it this way, a very easier way to put it, as far as an analogy goes.

It costs a lot more to get your first customer than it does to repeat sell your second customer, right?

Yeah.

Used to be 74%.

I don't know the exact data on it now, but it costs a lot more.

Right,

so it doesn't make any sense.

Yeah,

so you've made millions, but let's let's talk about some else.

What's the most you've lost in a day?

The most I've ever lost in a day.

I never forget too.

Um, uh, Fidelity,

man, fidelity paperwork, right?

Um, 768,000, 768, 8, 860, some thousand.

It's almost a million.

Almost.

Yeah.

But it was interesting.

I mean, everything is a learning curve, right?

And everything is about,

listen, man.

The average human only lives 28,000 days.

Every day that you ever take an ill is only about learning from it.

You learn from it and you move on.

We are all failures, the best of us are.

For them to say Thomas Edison did over a thousand experiments, you know, to achieve the filament and the light bulb, that hits home.

If you are an entrepreneur, you are an innovator, you are a thinker, it's always about achieving something, but you always achieve something after you have failed.

Because only when you have failed can you learn the lessons that that has taught you in order to actually achieve and make it to the pinnacle of Mount Everest.

Hey, maybe I shouldn't have stepped there.

Hey, maybe I shouldn't have created that particular concoction.

Hey, maybe I shouldn't have shot the shot like that.

That would have hit the last,

that would have been the last shot of the game.

Michael Jordan, you're in the jerseys.

For example, Mike,

Michael Jordan, the greatest, right?

The greatest of all time.

The undisputed greatest of all time.

Nobody has ever.

The undisputed greatest of all time.

The undisputed greatest of all time.

The undisputed greatest of all time.

The undisputed greatest of all time.

That's to say that the greatest of all time.

Anyways, I digress.

digress um the undisputed greatest of all time um michael jordan did not win six years into the league did not win his first championship

now after that he figured out the formula and he got it to the three peat he retired came back still got it to the six peat and you know he did what he did but you know to be the greatest and not get it there for six years very interesting did he figure it out or did he have the right pieces around him that helped him figure it out because pippin just made a statement on this well i think you need the right pieces um

around winning because obviously i feel like in this

um

it's a team sport right but the team isn't too much highlighted because the focal point was michael jordan you know michael jordan without him Do you feel like they still would have won championships?

If you kept the team and removed Michael Jordan, do you think that's what that happened when he took a year off and they got second in the East?

They didn't win, though.

See?

So you bring Michael Jordan back, you win.

So

he was the guy of that team.

He still needed his team, though, for sure.

You always need a team.

But he was a great leader.

That's the difference.

When you scale companies and you scale a multitude of companies, it's still about leadership.

And that might be there.

But the thing I always found interesting about Mike, and if you watch The Last Dance, the documentary, you'll see that at the end, they always talk about his level of focus.

And it's always that he always lived in the present moment.

You asked the question earlier: hey, is a billion

garner you happiness?

Yeah, and I said, No, it doesn't garner you happiness, a billion dollars.

What is rich?

Subjective.

I think it's go ahead.

What do you think it's money,

health,

happiness?

I think rich for me, I think it's time and freedom.

So no money?

What's yours?

No,

I feel like

it's subjective, but rich, obviously, money is going to allow you the time to do what you want to do, but I feel like ultimately it's time and freedom.

I feel like that's the ultimate rich.

What's yours?

Rich is the freedom to do what you want to do when you want to do it.

So that's one.

But rich is also different for each and every individual.

Subjectively.

rich could be spending time with your kids, rich could be traveling for five days to Vegas to blow all your money on the craps table and just lose, and you still had a great time because you're in Vegas.

Okay, what's interesting about Vegas, we're in Vegas right now.

I thought this is very interesting about Vegas, and I told you this.

What's interesting about Vegas to me is a city of false hope.

I have a friend that comes here once every month and spends about $100,000 to $250,000.

Last time I was here with him, he was like, oh, man, you think you can lend me $10,000?

And I said,

for what?

He's like, oh, no, I'm just down on blackjack right now.

I got you as soon as I come back up.

And I was like, what?

I was like, David, what are you talking about?

He was like, man, you got it.

Just give me the $10,000.

I was like, what are you stating?

He was like, oh, I'm going to go play this blackjack table and I'm going to come back up.

And I said, you've already lost $270,000 some thousand dollars.

For you to believe that you come back up into the next $10,000 is a little bit baffling.

But what's baffling about the whole thing about Vegas is that

how did Las Vegas Sands make $2.38 billion

last quarter if they're handing out millions of dollars to everyone in Vegas?

Yeah, it wouldn't be profitable.

This guy wants to borrow $10,000 from me so he could play blackjack one more time.

Yeah.

So you can make money.

And it's the city of false hope.

And it's interesting that when you study Americans,

only 32% of Americans have actually traveled abroad.

Wow.

So to the people who come to Vegas, or the people who go to these particular destinations within the United States, okay, for them it is that.

It is the pinnacle of what the U.S.

would be.

But when you travel abroad and you have a lot of different experiences, I would not say that Vegas would be the hub of where I would go for vacation.

Domestically or internationally?

I've been to over 500 cities, 580 cities.

Jeez.

Wow.

What cultures were you fascinated by and impressed with?

Man,

they have square watermelons in Thailand.

Wow.

I didn't know that.

Yeah, I didn't know that.

I'm on the

full moon beach party.

They have square watermelons in Thailand.

They have holy festivals in India.

They have

Rio, Rio, Rio Carnival.

You know, in Brazil.

Where were you when you were riding a car like a skateboard?

Yeah.

What was that?

You saw that video?

I don't know if it was real.

What I had to look at, I'm like, yo, this is real.

Oh, yeah, it's real.

He was standing on top of a car.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

It wasn't just standing on a car, bro.

the car was tilted this way he was on it like it was a skateboard yeah yeah

that's a totally no that takes more than balls it takes a lot of focus yeah if you fell on that it was gonna be nasty no yeah yeah because the car was going definitely would have broke something okay so my thing is car is going about 40 getting getting on it maybe would 35 to 40 been easy because i see them guys do that all the time but what was the getting off of it well how did you manage to what did you do to get off this Because that's the.

I had a particular amount of, you know, that was, that was, that was a, that was a thing.

The guy that's driving that car, he's a champion of the world and doing that.

And he told me not to do that.

He said, people fall off of this thing.

If the, if, if the car goes down,

I don't control where the car goes down.

If it goes down on your arm, then it goes down on your arm.

You understand?

So it was one of those things where I had to time it.

I did it one time.

I timed it.

And I'm a professional.

I've done a lot of, I've done a lot of weird stunts.

And,

you know I've lived my life man I live in the present moment so that's crazy you know so I had to time it and I'm like okay I have about 18 seconds I have 18 seconds to get up on that on the on the side of that car to do whatever I'm gonna do and I have 18 seconds to get back in and I and I and I did that but I was like listen he was a professional I was a professional and I did that and it was interesting

because

it was literally about that.

Think about it.

It was only 18 seconds on the clock.

And it might miss by two seconds.

That car might land in 16 seconds.

So you got to go.

As soon as those wheels go up, but that was my amount of focus.

As soon as those wheels went up, I'm out of that car.

I am out of that car.

When those wheels, as soon as I see those wheels even getting close to going up, I'm out.

I'm out of that window and I am full eagled out and

I am embracing the wind.

That's crazy.

And I am fully focused on the wind and where I am at and my balance.

That's it.

What was that feeling like, though?

What do you remember?

It was amazing.

I felt like an eagle.

You were scared.

You ever seen the eagle on the United States flag?

Have you seen the eagle on the United States flag?

No, there's no

crazy.

Like that eagle.

And the blue part is there?

Wow, we should know this.

Which flag, right?

Like the governmental flag.

Oh, yeah.

Is there an eagle in there?

Okay.

Yeah, yeah.

Oh, the United States symbol eagle.

That's how I felt.

Is that the craziest thing you've done?

And if there is not an eagle on the United States flag.

It's somewhere.

It's an eagle somewhere.

Either way is an eagle.

I really feel like I think it's for the Homeland Security flag.

Oh, Homeland Security, the Blue.

I haven't seen those.

Is that the Blue?

Yeah, okay, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.

The governmental flag.

They have their crest and then they have like the Eagle.

But yeah, I felt like that, man.

I felt like I was soaring with the Eagles.

Damn.

You love doing crazy stuff, basically.

I love living my life.

I love living in the present moment.

So as you were asking, like, what rich is?

Rich is you absorbing the present moment and how focused you are in the present moment.

If I am playing a game of picnic with my daughter, that's rich.

Okay, if I am surfing on the side of a car, that's rich.

If I am jumping out of an airplane, you know, to skydive, that's rich.

If I am wearing a particular set of custom jewelry that my jeweler made me, maybe that's rich.

But everybody has a different definition of what rich is.

But rich is always living in the present moment and absorbing your life as that.

Because if you are not happy in the present moment, then that is not being rich.

So you basically don't think about the past or future.

You're very much in the present.

I am very much in the present.

I don't think about the past.

Thinking about the past is depression.

Thinking about the future is anxiety.

But when you live in the present, you should create the future.

That's how you become rich.

That's how you become wealthy.

You understand?

Yeah.

That's what it is.

That's the secret.

The secret is not drop shipping or Amazon FBA NFTs or stocks or algorithms.

They'll change your life.

It's not any of these nonsensical things.

And I'm tired of these kids DMing me after they buy this b.

Okay?

To be honest, like invest in yourself.

That is what rich is.

If you invest in yourself, that is how you will become rich.

But in order to invest in yourself, you have to invest in the skill sets which you need to have to obtain the life which you need.

And I will argue that focus is the number one skill which you need to have to obtain anything in life.

It is as simple as that.

Yes, bars.

But it's very, it's extremely annoying.

And I say it like this, I don't mean to be hostile But it's extremely annoying for these tards to be selling tard things about hey man drop shipping.

Okay, listen.

I'm I'm a guy that has scaled a very large multitude of companies.

I'm a guy that sits with Mahmoud Khan injured no he and like a lot of large corporate figures, okay?

Okay

Here we'll discern it like this

drop shipping Amazon FBA Airbnb flipping, so on and so forth.

These are all

very fly-by-night algorithms which worked at a very short, minuscule amount of time.

So for you to sell the masses, the algorithm which doesn't work today, hey man, when you were dropshipping, okay, bad.

That might have worked for you.

Maybe that worked for you

for a month.

Maybe that worked for you for two months.

Oh my God, you might be the greatest of all time.

Maybe it worked for you for three months.

But now that it doesn't work, now you want to flip it and sell the courses on the that doesn't work

is being a scammer.

And that's not being true to life.

That's not, you know, then

you're just fooling people.

You know what I mean?

And that's really what happens here, okay?

Because I have never.

Oh my god, let me get back.

All right.

I

this is funny.

I have never.

I'm trying to get as professional as I can for this.

You still remain a professional?

She's just popping off.

Oh, fix a shit.

You know.

I have never, I have never been involved with a company.

that had any type of proprietary technology, proprietary technique, or proprietary methodology that has sold it to the masses and remained successful

Trying to think of something obviously that would not make sense

if I am the only one who knows where the gold mine is at why selling Why would I tell you where the gold mine is at brother?

So you're getting there is a there's there's only there is only a particular amount of gold in the gold mine.

So if I released it to you and you I was like hey man, here's the latitude and longitude of where this gold mine is at.

All right.

All right, buddy, you got it?

All right.

You're sending us on a W mission.

Yeah, so why would I give you the latitude and longitude of where my gold mine is at?

This is simple common sense.

And the fact that people don't understand really baffles me.

It extremely baffles me because they're selling you.

You think I'm going to give you the latitude and longitude of my gold mine so you could rate it?

So what do you think, Aladdin?

What about the bird?

The parrot, Iago.

He's not cool with that.

You can't have the latitude and longitude of the gold mine.

You know?

And instead of people bettering themselves as a person and as to improving their focus as to what they can do in their lives, they would rather follow these nonsensical tactics.

There is no such thing as getting rich easy.

This wasn't easy.

I never got rich easy.

You know, the jerseys, the custom-made gear, the AF-1s, any of that.

The bed interior, the diddy parties,

everything was a struggle.

Everything had some type of problematic

synthesis within the formula.

But nobody has the right formula to tell you, hey, this is how you're going to make a million dollars.

You do this drop shipping course, you're going to make a million dollars right here.

That is nonsensical shit.

And I'm tired of people talking about it.

The number one thing you need to invest in is yourself.

You know what I mean?

I feel you.

A thousand percent.

The number one thing you need to invest in is yourself.

That is the highest ROI that you're going to have in your life those are the skill sets you need to invest in yeah for example focus if you learn the skill set of focus that is actually the number one skill set that then disearns every single ability you have under it and you take that focus and you put it to wherever it is that you want

but it's about learning those skills Yeah, people trying to get rich quick and they're just looking for an easy out, I think.

Well, even with those, with the get rich quick, there's no such thing as a get-rich quick.

I've never got rich quick.

I mean, everything takes time.

I mean, look at what we're doing now.

Everything takes time.

But just like you said, it's the instant and then it's the 15-minute, the marshmallow test.

That's what life is.

Absolutely.

So, you don't believe in courses?

No, he's not saying that.

I'm definitely not saying that.

I don't believe in courses.

I am saying I am against all courses that will tell you that you will be a millionaire within a certain amount of time if you do this.

Okay.

I am against all courses that are against that.

I don't believe in that.

I believe in more of

building yourself as a human being.

I believe in the courses that build you as a human for the tactical skill sets which you need in order to accomplish your larger cohesive goal.

Okay.

And I also don't believe that any human being that has found the exact gold mine will tell you the latitude and longitude as to how they as to as to where it's at how they found it is different okay

hey man this is the focus i needed to have to figure out where this gold mine was that's one thing

But in order to say, hey, this is where the gold mine is, and if you go into the gold mine, you'll be a billionaire to Mars is a very different thing.

That is ridiculous.

It is absurd.

Do you know?

Yeah.

He's basically saying like,

you know, you're telling people to go to the gym and work out, but not telling them about the diet and not telling them about discipline.

It's a lot of other things that goes into self-improvement and the regimen of a lifestyle versus just like the directions.

And plus, like, how do you give someone a roadmap to success?

Yeah.

It's all subjective and everybody's role to success is different.

Like, what works for me in marketing won't work for your product, won't work for his product, and so on and so forth.

It's all catered to the business

that readjusted.

And you can't give an overall just a template of life and success and anything like that because

it's a recipe for disaster, failure, actually.

And usually what I find is that

the courses that sell this,

the courses of these coaches that sell this, these are tactics that are not working anymore.

That is what they're selling you.

They're selling you outdated tactics.

Do they sound great?

Yes, of course they sound great.

But there are different strategies and methodologies and techniques that build human beings.

Who you are as a human being.

That's what you need to learn.

These are strategies that have been around

since civilization.

Since civilization was created.

You think that you could take on a woolly mammoth if you didn't have the right focus in order to throw that javelin into his eye,

of course not.

You would die.

A lion would maul you.

Okay?

A lion would maul.

I don't care if you're, you know, if you're as big as Matumbo or if you could fight like Khabib, a lion would maul you.

It's not happening.

You are not the apex predator.

Human beings are not the apex predator because we are the strongest of them.

We are not.

A lion would maul you, right?

A human being is the apex predator because

of our ability to learn skills

and our ability to adapt to those skills.

Fam, I've learned a lot, man.

What's next for you?

In this space, in the informational space?

I think the sky is the limit.

I don't know.

You can say what's next.

I think the sky is.

Man, Focus Institute.

We're really focused on that.

You know, I've never, and you know me for, Jesus, you've known me for over 10 years.

And there was a lot of people around us.

And I think I always said, I was always talking about people who sold informational products.

But,

you know, focus is suit.

I really do believe if there was one skill set that any human being can learn, it is focus.

That literally leads you down a roadmap and a path of where you need to go.

You know, here, I'll tell you something before I leave.

There was a Dixon study in 2016.

And the Dixon study found that all people who are clinically depressed have one thing in common.

And that one thing was that they do not have clear goals.

They don't have a clear vision of what their large cohesive goal is.

So they never hit their small goal, small goal, small goal in order to get to their big goal.

And because they don't hit those small goals, they go into this ruminating pattern of negative thoughts.

And that's why they're clinically depressed.

Wow.

So there is a way to develop a clear methodology, a clear focus methodology of how do you create this larger cohesive vision of what your actual life should be and what would make you happy in life.

Because everybody,

being happy is subjective to everybody around you.

So I thought that was very interesting.

Some people's happiness is family minds.

It's taking care of the family.

So it's like, those are two different aspects.

It's like, I want a family, yeah, but you got to take care of it.

Yeah.

I have, you know, I got two kids.

I have two kids.

I have two kids.

Yeah.

I was telling Brad, you know, Brad asked me an interesting question when I was on Brad Lee's podcast.

And

he was like, man, you know, you got money, but it must still be hard with the kids.

I was like, the hardest part is time.

You're constrained by time, right?

Everything in your life is constrained.

Time is the most valuable asset in your life.

So as far as having kids, it's like, you know, how much time can I give here?

How much time?

How much focus time can I give here?

How much focus time can I give there?

You know, it's cool to have kids and it's cool to watch your kids, and it's a different thing to spend time with your kids.

And it's a different thing to spend valuable time with your kids, and it's a different thing to teach your kids a valuable lesson,

right?

That is a difference between focus and unfocused parenting.

Absolutely, man.

Wayne, any closing thoughts?

No, fam, killed it.

You're speechless, yeah,

man.

Got it for sure.

All right, guys, digital social hour.

Thanks for tuning in.

See you next time.

Peace.
