This Is What You Do To Balance Parenting and Business 👶 E82

Speaker 1 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to a solo edition of the Money Mondays. Remember, you can visit us at themoneymondays.com, check out a lot of things that are going on there.
Every Monday at 4 p.m.

Speaker 1 PST, I actually go live on Zoom. I teach for about 40 minutes and I do a live Q ⁇ A.
There's a lot of members that are in there.

Speaker 1 100% of the money that it costs, the investment that it costs, actually goes to charity. We then spend all of that money right here at the Wild Jungle where we are parked.

Speaker 1 there are 209 animals here at the wild jungle they are very hungry we spent around 140 000 a month to upkeep this ranch at wild jungle you can check out all across social media at wild jungle w-y-l-d okay

Speaker 1 let's dive right into it typically the topic is how to make money how to invest money how to give it away to charity there's no guests here today because our dear friend trevor is about to fly around the planet Where are you going, Trevor?

Speaker 1 Africa. He's going to Africa.
Tarzan's in Africa, so I've been missing him for weeks. He's coming back, and then Trevor's freaking leaving.

Speaker 1 So I'm going to be here doing a solo podcast for you guys, and I'm going to walk you through real life, what just happened the last week, and what's coming up the next week during only my second week of being a daddy.

Speaker 1 So I get asked non-stop, am I going to cut back on travel?

Speaker 1 The answer is yes and no. I am turning down certain things, but there are certain things that are already part of my world that are part of my operation.

Speaker 1 And I'm going to incorporate Ariana Ocean, that's the name of the baby. I'm going going to incorporate Ariana Ocean to go with me when she can.
Obviously right the second she cannot.

Speaker 1 But in general, I'm going to try to incorporate her because my goal with her is to have fun with it and bring in women into business, live events, and investing.

Speaker 1 And so you're going to see her sometimes on podcast episodes, sometimes on stage, backstage, interviewing other people. Next Sunday, she's actually doing her very first podcast.

Speaker 1 She's getting interviewed by Jen Gottlieb.

Speaker 1 Jen Gottlieb has a huge PR firm, exited that company, speaks around the country, and she actually did my PR for years, used to get me in like Rolling Stones and all these cool publications.

Speaker 1 So she decided to be fun to interview Ariana Ocean. Obviously, I'll be there, so I'll be the one talking mostly, since right now Ariana doesn't even say Google Gaga yet.
She's only like 16 days old.

Speaker 1 But anyways, so let me dive in how I structure the whirlwind and what I'm doing.

Speaker 1 So first of all, I am cutting back, but my travel is more efficient and more aggressive. Meaning, I'm now just like teleporting somewhere and teleporting back.
Teleport there, teleport back.

Speaker 1 And so I'm avoiding overnights if I can. If I do have to stay overnight, obviously on East Coast and in the Midwest, I have to stay overnight.
I will teleport right back the next day.

Speaker 1 So let's walk through a real life situation. Last weekend was the 100 million mashdom experience.
This group has been around for five years. The members pay $100,000 for the year.

Speaker 1 And there are one-on-one coaching clients that also pay $100,000, except they wire their $100,000 directly to a charity. I give them three charity options.

Speaker 1 They get to wire that $100,000 for their one-on-one coaching with me directly to a charity of their choice of those three.

Speaker 1 And so I combined the one-on-one coaching clients with the $100 million Master My members so they could all network with each other. And I threw an experience last week.
It was supposed to be in St.

Speaker 1 Louis because originally we were planning to St. Louis since Kevin Hart was performing in St.
Louis for two days.

Speaker 1 I was going to try to go over to Andy Farcella's to first form headquarters, bring Kevin Hart there, do a bunch of cool stuff. However,

Speaker 1 the baby was supposed to come out August 17th. She decided to come out out July 24th, three weeks early.
So that's fantastic. I'm happy that she's here.
I got to see her early.

Speaker 1 However, that changed a lot of plans. And so we moved things around.

Speaker 1 And I'd already moved the 100 million mastermind to Los Angeles for safety reasons, obviously, in case Erica was going to give birth. I could drive right over from Los Angeles.
Okay.

Speaker 1 So the 100 million mastermind took place.

Speaker 1 Our opening night, we took over Katsuya, did some masterminding there. The next day in the morning, we went to a 300,000 square foot warehouse.

Speaker 1 why did we do that the concept of 100 million mastermind and what I was trying to incorporate into this mastermind in general is to do what's called behind the scenes I was taking the behind the scenes of businesses that I'm either partnered with spend money with or an investor in so we went to this massive clothing warehouse owned by Verid and that warehouse manufactures 92 different licenses from leather jackets t-shirts everything between and they're one of the biggest manufacturers for fanatics and a lot of those type of brands that are out there especially custom leather jackets they're amazing That's called JH Designs.

Speaker 1 And so we went to visit this 300,000 square foot warehouse. We went behind the scenes, and as soon as we left there, and by the way, the mastermind members don't know where they're going.

Speaker 1 I like to add elements of surprise. We then drive over to Target and I make all the members and the one-on-one coaching clients buy as much as they can at Target.

Speaker 1 So we load up carts full of supplies and we loaded up a big limo bus, shuttle bus, with the supplies because our 10-year anniversary of

Speaker 1 the back-to-school supply drive for Trina's Kids Foundation was at Hubble Studio. And so I got to incorporate the charity.

Speaker 1 Every time I throw a mastermind weekend, that Saturday, the second day, I always do a charity event. It just happened to be, it fell in place that this charity event was already happening.

Speaker 1 And obviously, I helped start Trina's Kids Foundation with the founder, Vince Ritchie, who's been on this podcast before, a decade ago. going on 11 years for the toy drive.

Speaker 1 And so we went to Target, bought up, I don't even know how many carts, dozens of carts of supplies, showed up rolling deep to Hubble Hubble Studio and unloaded all these back-to-school supplies for the 400 families that were waiting outside.

Speaker 1 And then gave the extra supplies to other schools and other organizations.

Speaker 1 Then we went to another building at Hubble Studio. And for six hours, we did masterminding.
We did speeches. So I had members that were speaking.

Speaker 1 We did breakout sessions. We did fireside chats.
And the reason I've explained this to you is that you might want to go to a mastermind. You might want to throw a mastermind.

Speaker 1 You might want to research what is a mastermind. Why should I do those things? The reason for a mastermind isn't necessarily the instructors or what you learn.

Speaker 1 That's part of it, but that's only one part of it. The networking with other people in your niche category or in your realm of business or in the same world that you're in is very powerful.
Why?

Speaker 1 Most entrepreneurs feel like they're on an island by themselves. Things are hard.
And as you grow your business, you get to 500,000, 1 million, 2 million, 5 million, 10 million. That sounds fantastic.

Speaker 1 But your friend group, it's really hard for them to relate. They don't understand necessarily.

Speaker 1 Obviously, you might have some friends that understand, but a lot of your friend group might not understand because they're working, they're making 40 grand a year, 60 grand a year, 100 grand a year, 500 grand a year, whatever their, you know, whatever their salary is or whatever their job is, or maybe they're an entrepreneur as well.

Speaker 1 But when you start to scale and you start to do millions of dollars in sales, a lot of your friends won't understand when you're talking about staff and payroll and inventory and shipping problems and lawsuits and accounting and taxes and all the problems and headaches that come along with being a business owner.

Speaker 1 And so you

Speaker 1 feel a bit like you're on an island and don't have anyone to talk to.

Speaker 1 And when things go bad or they get hard, which they always do, by the way, no matter what company you have, no matter what industry you're in, no matter how rich and cool you think someone is, they have problems, they have headaches, they have lawsuits, they have situations, they have staff that tries to leave them and start competing companies, their ads don't work, their shipping didn't happen, products got stuck in China.

Speaker 1 So many things happen. No matter what, just to be clear.

Speaker 1 So you are not alone in the sense that it's happening to you, but it's hard to talk to people about it because it may not be relatable that's why masterminds are powerful being in a room with other people that are in your world or in your caliber business talking to them once a week on zoom as a group going and meeting with them once a quarter in person would be great masterminds are powerful so saturday night we did six hours of that and then at the end i brought in a hypnotist named marcel klein who you saw here on one of the episodes recently and he blew us away.

Speaker 1 There's a lot of people that are high-level business entrepreneurs, obviously doing $10 million, $50 million, $100 100 million 200 million dollars in sales that were in the room that didn't believe that they could be hypnotized or didn't believe that hypnosis is real at all

Speaker 1 They found out real fast how real it is and how real it was and how raw it was and it was so interesting It was so fascinating You can check out Marcel's podcast.

Speaker 1 It is really interesting and we posted a couple clips from his hypnosis session of the mastermind members, but wow, it was magical. Okay, Sunday morning bright and early we went to rumble boxing.

Speaker 1 Why did I take him to rumble boxing on Sunset Boulevard? Because I bought 50% of that location. Now, when I talk about investing, and sometimes you hear me say, how scalable is it?

Speaker 1 Well, Rumble Boxing in an individual location is not that scalable. There's only so many hours, so many sessions, so many classes, so many members.

Speaker 1 There is a maximum, and it can't be 24 hours a day, right?

Speaker 1 I wish it could, but it can't. And so, we can only do is maximize X amount of hours for the classes, add other food and beverage products, supplement companies.

Speaker 1 So, there could be first-form supplements there. There could be BLK water there.
There could be Glow Water there. There could be Icon meals there.
Those things are there, by the way.

Speaker 1 I'm not saying could they are there to help increase sales. So, you open that refrigerator, then you see Cram Nutrition from Michael Chandler.

Speaker 1 Then you see BLK Water, which we raised millions of dollars for from my Elevator Syndicate Group.

Speaker 1 Then you see Glow Water, which our friend Kev, who owns a $200 million toy company, it's his company, so we're just helping him out because he always donates toys to us. You see what I'm doing?

Speaker 1 I went into a business like Rumble Boxing and just wanted to scale that location and add more ancillary sales so X amount of members go there They can only train for 45 minutes to an hour however long the class is there's only so many hours in the day How can I get them to spend more money on things that they want or need and so food supplements beverages etc

Speaker 1 And so from a scalability perspective I can only take a business that's doing let's call it a million two million bucks a year I can only scale it another one or two million a year I can't make it do five ten million dollars a year It's just one location with X amount of hours and I don't want to raise the prices that are crazy However, I would love it.

Speaker 1 If I can find a business that is doing low six figures and get it to the mid six figures, woo, that's fantastic. That's called a base hit.

Speaker 1 I do not need every investment to become the next Uber or the next billion dollar thing. Sometimes I want that when I say, is this investment scalable? How scalable is it?

Speaker 1 Well, if I was selling the Money Mondays pillows, sure, there's seven or eight billion people around the world. I could probably sell a lot of pillows, hopefully.

Speaker 1 And it's infinite as far as how many pillows because lots of people need them. They need to use them more than once.

Speaker 1 They they buy them they recycle them they wash them they throw them away that is something that is scalable pillows because of the commodity that it is but X amount of sessions at Rumble Boxing on Sunset Boulevard that is capped out that is maxed out so it's only scalable from that

Speaker 1 does that make sense am I explaining that

Speaker 1 And I want you to think about that because when you're hearing me talk about investing, which you're going to always hear me talk about it, because it's so important for you to think about and do, even if you can invest a hundred bucks, a thousand bucks, five grand, ten grand, fifty grand, whatever is comfortable for you, it is the most important thing in our society to be learning about investing, learning about our taxes, learning about accounting to set us up forever.

Speaker 1 Because inflation, whew, it is on fire. It is going hard.
Eight or nine percent a year. You've got to be making at least five to ten percent a year just to fight with inflation.

Speaker 1 Because you might have been like, Wow, Dan, I'm cool. I saved up a hundred thousand dollars.
That's great. You're ahead of most of our population by far.

Speaker 1 You're in the top percentile if you saved up a hundred grand in your piggy bank. However,

Speaker 1 in 2025, your hundred grand spends like 91,000. 2026, your 100,000 spends like 82,000 and then 73.
This is not a theory. It's not political.
This is just math.

Speaker 1 Think about when you grew up, how much was a cheeseburger, how much was a gas station, how much bread, how much is milk, how much is muffins, et cetera. How much you spend on your car, your clothes.

Speaker 1 Parking, valet. Remember when valet was 5, 10 bucks, now it's 25, and 30, and 35, and 40? Remember when parking in the parking lot was 20, 20 bucks, 18 bucks, and now it's freaking 35, $40.

Speaker 1 I don't even know how people can afford it at LAX, the price range. And so you need your money working for you.

Speaker 1 So as you hear me talk about investments, think about what might fit for you and really research that category. Okay.

Speaker 1 So I took them to Rumble Boxing. They got to see it.
I then explained the behind the scenes. I showed them, hey, look, this is why we added a cold plunge.
This is why we're adding this sauna here.

Speaker 1 So we can add extra services and charge more for this, this, and this. Here's where we added food and beverage.
Here's why we're adding first-form supplements. Bam, bum, bomb, bum.

Speaker 1 So I was explaining to them the behind the scenes of that business after they took the class. Then we walked down the street to Next Health.

Speaker 1 Next Health, you heard they were on our podcast also last month. That's Kevin.
And with that company, NextHealth, they already have five locations.

Speaker 1 They raised a ton of capital and they're going to go scale to over 50 locations.

Speaker 1 So I wanted them to see, I wanted the members to see the behind the scenes of a health facility because you can have all the money in the world, but if you get sick, nobody cares, especially not you.

Speaker 1 Outside of the money you need to pay for the medical-related things, you would give it all up if you found out you had some bad disease. We've watched it happen.

Speaker 1 Just Just last week, less than last week, days ago, one of my dear friends, he was with his four kids on vacation and just dropped dead in his 40s.

Speaker 1 He has an amazing company. All of us loved him.
We all talked to him. He's one of the best energies in the world.
Everyone's posting about him and he's not going to see it.

Speaker 1 And those four kids are not going to see him. And that's always going to be forever with them because of the way he passed away.
Why is that? Why am I saying that story?

Speaker 1 If you don't have your health, none of the money matters. None of it.
And so it's important to think about companies like Next Health. And so I went there to show them behind the scenes.

Speaker 1 And wherever you are in the country or in the world, start thinking about your health and what's going on in your world. Get checkups, etc.
Okay,

Speaker 1 we left Next Health. Boom.
Go back to the hotel, change up, and now we go to Gravitas. Grabitas is the 28,000 square foot private membership club on Camden Street in Beverly Hills.

Speaker 1 My best friend, Brandon Steven, we've been friends for many, many, many years.

Speaker 1 He decided to spend a lot of money, a lot of time, a lot of energy in three years building every single detail to make this place immaculate. So, Brandon Steven owns a whole bunch of car dealerships.

Speaker 1 I think he's at like 18, 19, 20 car dealerships. Who knows with him? Because he's always buying and building more car dealerships.

Speaker 1 And him and his brother have like 50 or 60 or 70 gyms that are huge, like 200,000 square foot gyms.

Speaker 1 So he's taking capital from some of his other businesses and decided to do this absolutely immaculate luxury restaurant membership club in Beverly Hills and opening late night hours as well because Beverly Hills doesn't really have that at all.

Speaker 1 And so it's very interesting. It's gonna be opening up next month

Speaker 1 and I'm excited to see that. I'll be throwing some events there.
I'll be eating there a lot. I'll be inviting you guys there.
We'll be talking about it more.

Speaker 1 But Brandon Steven decided to build this place. He hired Seth Glassman as the general manager who has some great experience and they are putting together an amazing operation.

Speaker 1 And so you'll see that coming up on my social. You can check out Gravitas, G-R-A-V-I-T-A-S.

Speaker 1 Okay, and you can apply for membership there. Membership is $5,500 for the year, and it's around $2,500 or $2,800, depending up front.
There's also like another option that you could do it longer.

Speaker 1 You could add a husband and wife or a business partner. You could go for like the crazy, like the cool $100,000 version of it, or you can have like a lifetime membership.

Speaker 1 There's a lot of cool options. You can check out the Gravitas website if you'd like to apply.
And then Brandon Stevens, Seth Glassman, and their crew will overlook that for you.

Speaker 1 So we went there, showed them that behind the scenes, and then I surprised the members after we did a tour of this building of Gravitas that's almost done, we walked over to Cipriani and took over the whole back section of Cipriani, one of my favorite Italian restaurants, and I surprised them with also one of my dearest, I call him my best friend, the godfather to baby Ariana Ocean.

Speaker 1 His name is David Meisel. David Meisel is the founder of Marvel Studios.

Speaker 1 This is the butterfly effect that literally changed the world when you think about it.

Speaker 1 Because all of us, every single person all over the world, has watched a Marvel movie like Iron Man, The Avengers, Incredible Hulk, Thor, et cetera.

Speaker 1 So when you research him, if you want to check out David Maiso,

Speaker 1 the sheer notion of him going to this comic book company, this strong company that he believed in, that he liked, he had a great career going on, and he's like, why don't we make a $150 million movie called Iron Man?

Speaker 1 I mean,

Speaker 1 I don't want to ruin the rest of the story. I'm going to bring David on to a podcast.
And so I interviewed him there for the 100 Million Mastermind members and the 101 coaching clients.

Speaker 1 And we went through the process of coming up with the idea of like, I'm going to make, you know, this massive movie called Iron Man spend well over $100 million back then. Think about that.

Speaker 1 It's like, was it 16, 17, 18 years ago? And then that led to changing the whole planet because of Incredible Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Avengers, Avengers 2, Avengers Endgame, etc.

Speaker 1 And so he's been one of my dearest friends for many years, and so I was excited to have him interview there because he rarely does interviews.

Speaker 1 I'm hoping to start getting him to speak at some events this year because the time has come. He just did a whole deal with Scooter Braun.
They have a comic book company. They launched a cool NFT.

Speaker 1 They launched the comic book series. And it's just fun to watch.
That's called Ecos. E-K-O-S.
So you should check out Ecos, Ecos Genesis, to be exact. Check out Ecos Genesis.

Speaker 1 It's brought to you by the founder of Marvel Studios. So, you know, it's going to be amazing.
And it looks fantastic.

Speaker 1 And, you know, Scooter Braun, a lot of interesting characters behind it to make this thing work. And so you can see the realm of what I was trying to do.

Speaker 1 Behind the scenes, show them businesses, show them how I scaled Rumble boxing, show them to learn from someone like, you know, multi, had a $4 billion exit, which ended becoming like worth $8 or $9 or $10 billion because of the Disney stock to buy Marvel.

Speaker 1 Crazy, amazing deal. And so they got to see behind the scenes of people's brain.
businesses, a private membership club, etc.

Speaker 1 So then got to go, I rushed back home to go see Ariana and and Erica, bada bing, bada boom. And then Wednesday, had to go to Houston, Texas.
That night, threw a dinner with Dave Meltzer.

Speaker 1 Dave Meltzer, obviously you've seen him on our podcast. He'll be on the podcast multiple times every single year.
We went to the same high school together, obviously not the same year.

Speaker 1 But we went to Patrick Henry. He was the head of Lee Steinberg, the sports agency for years that they based the movie Jerry Maguire on.

Speaker 1 And so we throw dinners together pretty often throughout the year, sometimes every other week,

Speaker 1 every other month, etc. He throws them all the time, but I co-host with him.

Speaker 1 So we did a fancy dinner, and we had Eddie Wilson, Chris Jarvis, and a bunch of interesting business guys up on stage, a guy with like a $7 billion beverage distribution company that we interviewed up there, and a professional skater that has a bunch of world records.

Speaker 1 And so did this dinner, super cool, network with everybody in Houston, Texas. Boom, go check out the venue for the next day, Aspire Tour.
Aspire tours every three to four weeks around the country.

Speaker 1 This one is in Houston, Texas. We average 2,000 to 3,000 people per city.
This one had an amazing lineup. lineup you may have seen me posting pictures with Damon John Marcus Limonis Kevin O'Leary

Speaker 1 we had Kendra Scott there and a bunch of great speakers I'm probably forgetting a couple because there were so many all in one day it was very action-packed Andrew Cordell and Eddie Wilson are the co-founders of Aspire Tour.

Speaker 1 I came into the business six months later when they already had six events under their belts. Now I think there's been like 17 or 18 and around every three to four weeks.

Speaker 1 So if you're listening, the next one is September 5th. You can go to AspireTour.com.
September 5th in Phoenix, Arizona.

Speaker 1 That's got a really cool lineup, like Gronk and some other cool, like Shark Tank guys are going to be there.

Speaker 1 October 23rd, we'll be in Chicago. And then we're looking at venues for Nashville, Washington, D.C., et cetera, Las Vegas.
So I'll be talking about that.

Speaker 1 So I went to Houston, Texas to do the Aspire Tour. That was a lot of fun.
Immediately the same night, teleported to Dallas, Texas, Thursday night.

Speaker 1 So remember, I went Wednesday to Houston through a dinner with Dave Meltzer. Thousands of people for Aspire Tour.

Speaker 1 Same night, Roger and I, Roger is at Content CEO, Roger and I teleport to Dallas, Texas, do a dinner there. Next morning, I meet with Veena Jetty.

Speaker 1 Veena Jetty, she's done over $1 billion in real estate transactions.

Speaker 1 And so I had breakfast with her for a couple hours and just talked through everything regarding her real estate, what's going on in her world,

Speaker 1 understanding the market because she's so smart. So look up Veena Jetty, V-E-E-N-A-Jetty, J-E-T-T-I.

Speaker 1 So I had breakfast with Veena, immediately jump back in the car, and boom, I'm on the way over an hour to the warehouse to this multi-billionaire named Terry Lecour.

Speaker 1 Terry built 1 million square foot of warehouse space. He's got three different buildings, 600,000, one's like a quarter million, one's like 150,000.

Speaker 1 So collectively, 1 million square feet between his three warehouses. And he's manufacturing for like Capri Sun, Sunny Delight.
He makes 10X Health for Grant Cardone.

Speaker 1 He make Patrick but David's brand. And so he's making protein supplements skincare so many interesting products and a lot of consumable products.
And he's also shipping those products.

Speaker 1 Why did I go there? Well, I've been there once or twice a month the whole summer. Because Terry the Core brought on a longtime friend named Nick Sarnicola.

Speaker 1 Nick Sarnicola was huge in the multi-level marketing space with a brand called Visalis.

Speaker 1 And he traveled the world with arenas and speaking, et cetera, and built up this brand to be doing a zillion dollars in sales. And he calls this new company they're working on called The Last Dance.

Speaker 1 Brought together The Last Dance, which is Nick put together an all-star team.

Speaker 1 Terry brought in some great executives and decided that they're going to put all their energy together to create this new company called Shopley. S-H-O-P-L-Y.
Shoply.

Speaker 1 You're going to see me posting about Shopley. You're going to see a lot of people posting about Shopley

Speaker 1 because of the concept of what it is.

Speaker 1 Imagine merging Amazon, TikTok, shop, anywhere in the world, influencers, moms at home, pretty much anyone can sell products online, earn commissions from it, and they can bring brands that they know, especially if you're in different countries, that's really interesting, because you might be the exclusive on it, or you might know a whole bunch of brands onto the platform and earn residuals from that as well.

Speaker 1 But it's backed by this guy who's got, like I said, a million square foot warehouse, huge businesses. He owns 10 different companies that are doing serious revenue.

Speaker 1 And so being backed by that gentleman, Terry, having Nick Sarnicola, who is very well known in the space, he's done an amazing job building other brands in the past.

Speaker 1 And now he's calling this the last dance. And so I said yes.
I've been speaking at their events for months now in Dallas at their warehouse.

Speaker 1 And so Friday in the afternoon, I spoke there, and it was great. We had over 250, almost 300 people from all different business categories fly in internationally.

Speaker 1 Japan, Philippines, Germany, Sweden, etc fly in to learn about shoply and so you're going to hear about shoply quite often the launch is august 15th the soft launch is august 15th and then you'll see it all over the place coming up soon so right around when this podcast comes out you will see a brand called shopley

Speaker 1 There's nothing for you to do yet. Obviously, you can message me if you want to go into Shoply, but you're going to hear about it a lot.

Speaker 1 And so I like to tell people, I did the same thing when Clubhouse happened. I did the same thing with a lot of different apps where businesses happened.

Speaker 1 I can tell you when something's going to be big. I try to see it in advance because I'm immersed in the space.
And I can also tell you if they're going to fade away like Clubhouse did.

Speaker 1 Because Clubhouse had a very simple solution to what they could have done, especially with all that capital, and they just wouldn't listen. They wouldn't do it.

Speaker 1 And unfortunately, one of the hottest, biggest apps of all time faded away.

Speaker 1 Mostly due to ego because they wouldn't do the very basic things that they could have done, which is pay the talent to host like a radio show, like radio.

Speaker 1 Imagine paying Kevin Hart to be every Sunday at two o'clock. Clubhouse would have been amazing.
Snoop Doggs every Sunday at three o'clock. This person's every Sunday at four o'clock.

Speaker 1 And make it feel like that. Then people could run communities.

Speaker 1 They would have been posting about on social media non-stop, and you could have filled up dozens and dozens of shows per hour from sports, makeup, hair, skincare, fitness, all different categories of real estate, investing, et cetera.

Speaker 1 Have them in dedicated hours, pay those people because you had so much funding. But unfortunately, they didn't, and Clubhouse is no longer.

Speaker 1 But with a company like Shopley, When you're backed by a zillionaire with a million square foot warehouse, you're backed by and led by a gentleman who's got so much energy charisma and sales results over the years and he brought in some other impressive characters that have also done 20 30 years in the game that's why you're gonna hear about shopping a lot okay

Speaker 1 then right now as soon as i'm done i am actually driving to see my family to introduce ariana ocean to the rest of the family that hasn't met her yet because she is tiny and so technically typically you're supposed to wait 30 60 90 days depending on the health of the baby and so no one's gonna be allowed to touch her um but she's gonna meet the family right now in a couple hours but then tomorrow in the morning I'm meeting with one of the heads of Zara Zara is

Speaker 1 you know typically the number three number five like richest brand in the world richest person in the world unfortunately the founder of Zara passed away years ago but that brand is massive you know you've seen Zara all over the world that brand is billions of not just billions tens of billions if not hundreds it's just a big company so I'm meeting with the head executives there

Speaker 1 and my friend Alex who's big into the tech space and he makes like those cool screens that go into high-end stores or into like fitness stores, supplement stores, where you can look at the screen and interact with it and know about what clothing you should wear, the sizing, the product, everything about it.

Speaker 1 And so, I'm excited to meet with Zara. Obviously,

Speaker 1 it'd be great if I could work with them.

Speaker 1 If not, I like to learn about brands and teach brands and talk to them because Elevator Studio, my social media agency, over the years, we've done brand campaigns for Fashion Nova, Pretty Little Thing, Boohoo, Nasty Gal, so many female fashion brands, and DraftKings, Postmates, Lyft, Oracle, BET Television, etc.

Speaker 1 For four, five, six, seven years at a time, first form,

Speaker 1 alcohol brands, Disney, etc. So, Elevator Studio, my social media agency,

Speaker 1 has over 3,500 influencers that we've W-9 that we've paid, and not counting all the celebrities and talent.

Speaker 1 And so I'm excited to interact with them again, whether I get that deal or not. That's a very massive company that takes time.

Speaker 1 I'm just being always very blunt with you guys about my behind-the-scenes in my world.

Speaker 1 I will then see David, the founder of Marvel Studios, and head downtown to VCon because Gary Vee, it's the third day of his third time throwing this massive event called VCon, V-E-E-C-O-N.

Speaker 1 So I want to go there to support him, go there and interact, network with everyone.

Speaker 1 It's exciting because there's so many brands that are there, so many speakers that are there, so many movers and shakers that are there. So I'm excited to go to VCon and always support Gary.

Speaker 1 The following week, Tai Lopez is back. So you're listening to this on Monday.

Speaker 1 This weekend, you might have seen ads everywhere because Tai Lopez spends more on ads than pretty much anybody, especially for a personal brand. And he's running ads for an influencer party.

Speaker 1 I've never seen that done before. It's super cool to watch.

Speaker 1 So many people have been sending me screenshots that Ty is throwing a mansion party in Beverly Hills, and they're getting ads for it so people can apply to attend that.

Speaker 1 But he added in a VIP dinner Friday night. He added in a mastermind Saturday morning until 2.30 p.m.

Speaker 1 And then after that, it turned into a party at this big new massive mansion that he has in Beverly Hills.

Speaker 1 The very next day, bada bing, bada boom, Ariana Ocean will be on her very first podcast with Jen Gottlieb at Hubble Studios. I'm very excited for that.

Speaker 1 And so I wanted to walk you through my behind the scenes, my reality, all the moving parts you might hear about in my world, how I try to incorporate my businesses, my investments, and my baby into everything that I'm doing, whether it's helping charity, helping companies, giving advice to brands.

Speaker 1 teaching, talking, etc. I try to incorporate all my worlds together so that when people say, if you love what you do, you never work a day in your life, that's not true.

Speaker 1 Let's just be really clear that I don't know where that saying came from. I don't know why people agree with it or believe it.
I love what I do, but it's still a lot of work.

Speaker 1 Let's just be really clear. Still a lot of work.
Lawyers, taxes, accountants, zillions of emails, 800 texts a day, 200 emails a day.

Speaker 1 Payroll, vendors, shipping departments, employees. This person doesn't like this person.
This person changed that. This person wants a refund.
This person needs a ship that there. This didn't happen.

Speaker 1 Your flight got delayed.

Speaker 1 work is work. So just because I love it, doesn't mean it's not work.
However,

Speaker 1 tying other things in my world to my work, man, it gives me the drive that every morning, every day, every night, no matter what time, I'm in it and I love it.

Speaker 1 And so I can love my work, but it's still work. And so just because you love what you do, doesn't mean it's not work.

Speaker 1 And if it doesn't feel like work because you're not working, that means you're not working because you're not getting a lot done. And so I just overwork because I enjoy it.
I enjoy the game of it.

Speaker 1 I I don't get burned out by it.

Speaker 1 That's why you hear me talking morning, noon, and night about all these different events, masterminds, aspire tours, shopping, podcasts, books, sales, operation black site, so many things, Cars and Coffee, Everbull, there's so many things in my world, but I love the game and I have that driving force because I tie in as much as I can into everything there.

Speaker 1 Everbull brought their bowls over to the mastermind. Cars and Coffee had a booth at the mastermind, right?

Speaker 1 Like I incorporate my businesses, my events, my brands, et cetera, into my world to make it really fun. So I appreciate you guys listening.
As you know, it's really important for you.

Speaker 1 If you can, it helps us a lot. Leaving a review, especially on iTunes and the other platforms, Spotify, helps us a lot with the rankings.
We've been staying in the top two to four.

Speaker 1 I think it's like 77 weeks or 80 weeks in a row now. I got to find out the number.
In the entrepreneur category and the business category. That all comes from you guys.

Speaker 1 So if you can share it, share it on your stories, tweet about it, Facebook, it all helps. That's all I ever ask.
If you notice, I haven't been reading anything. It's been a year and a half.

Speaker 1 I'm not reading any ads for you guys. I'm not opposed to having like a big brand deal, but I don't want to sit here and read like go to wix.com.
Like, that's not what I'm here for.

Speaker 1 The podcast is important to me. Our listen-through rate is 93%,

Speaker 1 right? We keep these episodes to 40 minutes with a 93% listen-through rate, which is staggering compared to most podcasts, how long people typically listen to it.

Speaker 1 And so, that's why I'm trying to avoid ads at all costs.

Speaker 1 Um, and with that being said, if you can help us, keep sharing, keep commenting, keep liking, keep listening, visit us at moneymondays.com, and we will see you guys next Monday.
