In this episode, David talks about how your beliefs about receiving wealth directly impact your ability to manifest and maintain financial abundance.
So if your beliefs around money are, you know, wealthy people are mean and negative and stingy, or you have to have some type of skill, or I had to be born in some, you know some home or environment or country in order to make money. Whatever your beliefs are, they might be directly blocking your ability to manifest or maintain financial abundance because some people have made a lot of money, but then they lose it quickly because their beliefs bring them back down.
He also shares a profound mindset shift around deservingness and abundance transformed his financial reality when he started to learn this ability of deservingness because for 15 years he was making no money. He was living in service, in spiritual service, and he started to shift this to create financial abundance.
Now he's got a massive billion dollar brand that he is the co-founder of after nearly 15 years of having no money. And it's crazy how he was able to shift his mindset from just service to a spiritual platform to, okay, I want to convert this into financial abundance.
And what makes this conversation particularly fascinating is David's unique perspective on how our relationship with money is deeply intertwined with our spiritual vessel and our belief system. And if you haven't heard yet, I have a brand new book called Make Money Easy, Create Financial Freedom and Live a Richer Life.

Welcome back, everyone, to the School of Greatness. I'm excited for today's guest because we are talking about a topic that so many people want to know about.
I'm here with David Guillaume, who is a spiritual teacher. And for many years, you made no money.
And in the last 10 years, you transformed your mindset and your beliefs around how you can be of service in the world, but also manifest the money you want and believe you're deserving of having. And you've built a billion dollar brand with your co-founder, Mary.
And today, I want to talk about how people can manifest money, how they can transform their beliefs into creating abundance in their life around money. That's what this is going to be out.
And the first thing I want to ask you, because you have a very interesting story from having no money and dedicating your life to being of service spiritually to then also doing that while building a business. And so you kind of had a limiting belief yourself of like, I'm not supposed to make money or if I want to be a good person, I just have to serve and I have to donate my time and my money and I'm going to live poor, essentially.
Then something flipped. You got married, started having kids, and you realized, oh, I have to show up and be responsible in other areas of my life.
And you transform that kind of broke mindset into an abundance mindset. So what has been the exact formula spiritually that you have used to attract and manifest more money in your life? Well, yeah, just to have the background for people and the transition I went through, because I think it could be helpful to know, when I was 14, I made my first million dollars simply by having a lot of passion and energy.
School was boring for me, and I started to look into the stock market, learn about it, got a little bit of money. And it worked out great.
It was six months. It took six months to make that million.
That's crazy. Yeah, it was a crazy time.
Your parents gave you the money, Dad. Parents always believed in me because they knew I was a smart kid.
They knew that I had certain desires. And it was play money.
It was like probably $20,000, $30,000. I was like, here you go.
But it manifested into a million dollars. $20,000 into a million in six months? It was also a time when the market was doing well.
So I give credit to the market also. But yes, it exploded.
And I also think spiritually, my soul went through that process because Kabbalah explains this, that your soul goes through a process to ultimately help you become the most perfect version of yourself so that you can build the vessel to receive everything that's meant for you. And I, looking back, realized that I needed to go through a process of having that kind of money at a young age in order for me to see the things that I needed to change about myself, the limited beliefs I had to work on, which also set me up for the next part of the story, which I'm gonna say.
So I made that money and I realized, that was the first point I realized, this isn't making me actually happy. And if anything, it was causing me to have more addictive behavior, which got me into gambling, poker.
Fun fact that I've probably told nobody that I'm going to tell you now. I'm actually banned from 16 different casinos in Nevada.
What? Because at a young age, I used to just walk into these casinos and start playing. Wow.
And then at one point, they're like, hey, you're underage. It was a whole thing.
This was like my life as a teenager. However, I did really well in school.
I was always a straight-A kid, perfect scores on my testing, and I took a lot of college credits because I just wanted to run through it. I found Kabbalah at 15.
I'm like, wow, this spiritualism is explaining the secrets of the world. And if I learn Kabbalah, I will learn to have everything.
Because you weren't happy at the time.
You're making money, but you weren't happy.
Right.
And my uncle who did study Kabbalah recognized this in me and said, hey, come learn some spirituality.
I thought it was religion at first.
I was like, I don't want to touch that.
But he's like, no, it's spiritual wisdom and you're going to love it.
So I went to one seminar.
I was 15.
And everyone else in the room was like 30, 40, 50.
But I saw it.
Like I saw and felt the truth of what was being said i asked a thousand annoying questions everything was answered and i said well i want to learn more about this my mentality is also anything i'm passionate about i go all in to an extreme yeah which is also another business lesson that we can talk about because I've also learned if you don't manifest something fully till its end, even if it's the wrong thing, you will have never finished that process, learned its wisdom, and achieved a level of certainty. So certainty is so powerful.
So I'm going to save this lesson in a tangent. Certainty is so powerful that you should do everything in your power to achieve this consciousness.
And the greatest way to achieve certainty is to finish something. So when you finish something, you either see it makes you happy, blessed, and successful, or you see that it was the wrong thing.
But you have certainty. What a lot of people do is they assume the future.
They dream also about a lot of different things, like, oh, I want to do this, or I want to do this project. I want to try this thing.
They have all these different passions, ideas, and I don't do any of them. Correct.
Correct, because they're listening to everyone else's certainty. Your mom tells you, hey, this isn't going to be good for you.
So you're living off of her certainty. It's not yours.
In the Kabbalah, we call that actually the bread of shame, meaning when I'm not the cause of my life, I have not earned spiritually a vessel to receive abundance. I'm borrowing everyone else's vessel.
I'm borrowing other people's opinions. I'm living vicariously through everyone else's life.
This is actually the greatest cause of sadness and shame and sorrow. And people usually wake up 10, 20, 30, 40 years later realizing I live somebody else's life.
And I listen to people because I'm a people pleaser. I have my own self-worth issues, so on and so forth.
So I would say like right now you should know that the greatest thing you can do for yourself is to try things and to go all the way with them. Someone asked me, how do I know this relationship is the right one? I said, the only way you're going to know is to go all in at that stage that you're in.
Because everyone's thinking, I only want to go all in if I'm in to marry that person. I'm not saying when you're just dating someone and you don't know.
I'm saying when you're kind of like, you invest a lot of time and you're wondering, you know, what do I do here? You're kind of in a limbo. Whenever you're stuck, just go all the way because you'll either realize it was meant to be or not and you'll get certainty.
And once you have certainty, your vessel now expands and more light can come in. More of the universal energy of creation comes in and it opens a new door for you.
However, a lot of people are trying to always anticipate what the future is going to look like. And so they're like, well, what's going to happen when I go all in? How am I going to know? These questions we cannot ask.
We must go all in. The door will open.
The wisdom will be revealed and the clarity will come. So then going back to my life, I started to sit in Kabbalah.
It was unbelievable. I went all in, graduated college.
And at 20, I said, I'm going to do this for no money for a nonprofit. Traveled the world, gave thousands of seminars, did coaching, met the most amazing people in the world, learned how they were living their lives, learned how Fortune 500 CEOs lived their life.
I learned founders, learned- Celebrities. Celebrities.
There was a big celebrity period, early 2000s that I was part of. And I got to witness their lives.
I got to witness the pain. I got to witness what fame did to them.
I got to witness what their children were going through, which was really painful. I got to witness almost there was this one very wealthy family, a very wealthy family.
And they called it the curse of the last name of the family. Without saying who they were saying.
There's like a curse almost every year because there was so much money. And wealth passed down.
It's really interesting. And they asked me, he asked me, he was probably 40 years old at the time, a billionaire, but wealth that was passed down generationally.
Many movies meet about that. Passed down from his parents to him.
His parents, his grandparents, his grandparents.
It's a very well-known generationally wealthy family.
And he said, you know, I feel like my family has a curse
because in every generation,
there's a problem after problem.
Children who go through difficulties
and sickness and mental illness and all these things.
And drug overdose or whatever. Drugs was a big one too.
So he said, what's going on spiritually? When he learned Kabbalah, he learned that light and vessel have to match up. Meaning we all want a lot of energy, but we're not being conscious of the vessel that holds that energy.
For example, if I have a 60 watt bulb, I can only hold 60 watts of energy. If I try to funnel in 1,000 watts of energy, I'm going to have a short circuit.
I'm going to have an explosion. Interestingly, this explosion will be a flash of light that's beautiful, but then there's darkness right after.
And you can't use it again. And you can't use it again.
So this is how most people live their lives. No one taught us how to expand the vessel.
No one taught us how do I get from a 60-watt bulb to a 1,000-watt bulb. Everyone out there, including the best marketers, they're trying to tell you, hey, here's 1,000 watts of energy.
You should take this into your vessel. You're going to love this product.
You're going to love this food. You're going to love this relationship.
Look at all these beautiful models. There's pornography.
There's all of these unrealistic
energies. And when you bring it into your vessel, you short circuit it.
Someone asked me once, is there a problem if I do cocaine? If I do drugs? This is a question I get all the time. Really? Yeah.
And they say the drug's bad. and come out and we learn
there's no such thing as good or bad.
It's light and vessel. Energy and the capacity to hold that energy.
Is it serving your vessels should be the question. That is the question.
Because if you go good, bad, you're going to destroy this planet. You're going to destroy each other.
Because we're all like, you're good, you're bad. You're in judgment.
You're in judgment mode. And so every question should be asking yourself, is this act, is this thought, is this relationship in service to my vessel bringing more light into the world? Beautiful.
Is this in service to my vessel so that I can receive and manifest and harness the light that is already there waiting to come in? So what is the biggest thing that blocks people from expanding their capacity to attract and manifest more money? Every vessel has components that make up that vessel. So the most important part of you that makes your vessel is your belief system about receiving.
I gave this example once before. I had someone who I knew who I coached.
And every time he would build a company, very easily he could scale it to about $10 million in revenue. And every time he hit that $10 million mark, there would be problems and there would be chaos.
Either employees, there'd be issues with employees, there'd be issues legally, there'd be issues with the technology, there'd be issues that kind of cause everything to be stuck. Several companies he built, each time the ability to scale to $10 million was effortless.
But that moment of $10 million, something would happen. When he started to study Kabbalah, he asked me, what's going on spiritually? It's a great question to always ask.
And what we discovered is he has a belief system that anything over 10 million, for whatever reason, is something that he does not deserve, or it's something that will be too much responsibility, or it's something that will cause too much chaos. And so what he does subconsciously is sabotage his company at that mark.
Now let's expand upon that. Any part of any one of us who is experiencing chaos in any part of our lives, relationships, in health, and in business, especially about manifesting money.
The chaos comes at the moment my belief system about receiving is limited at that moment, because we are such powerful manifestors. All of us are manifesting all day long.
Whatever you're experiencing in your life, whatever you see, is what you are manifesting at that moment through your thoughts, your words, your actions, your desires. This is the world you're manifesting.
So it's not about complaining, why isn't this happening or why isn't this person doing something for me? You are creating this reality at this moment. So if there's 20% of you that does not want to be wealthier, if there's 20% of you that does not want to be in a relationship because you're afraid it's going to control you or you're afraid they're going to hurt you or you're afraid that you're going to lose your freedom because you want to be with more people, that 20% is going to clash with the 80% of you that does want love, the 80% of you that does want success.
So your worst enemy becomes yourself. Because a lot of people watching and listening right now are saying to themselves, of course I want more money, right? Of course I want to make more money.
That might be only a percentage of their beliefs or their desires, but you're telling me that there's other beliefs that don't support that desire. Correct.
There's either a limited belief or a competing belief. A limited belief would be, I don't deserve this money.
A competing belief would be, I want this success and prosperity. I feel my soul is meant for it.
We feel on a soul level, I'm meant to be successful. And then there's another belief that says, if I am wealthy, I will be sad because I saw other wealthy people become sad.
One of the beliefs I had in the first 10 years from the age of 20 to actually 32, where I had no money whatsoever and my life was dedicated to just helping other people, which I thought was a noble thing. And it was, and it helped a lot of people.
But why didn't I receive wealth? Why didn't the creator give me wealth? Because I saw in the first five years dealing with celebrities and very successful people. You saw that they're broken.
That wealth broke them. Yes.
That wealth, especially generational wealth, especially wealth that was not fully earned, caused a level of shame, drug use, depression, suicide. And I saw these families literally fall apart.
And so it was great. You're like, I don't want that.
Subconsciously. You're like, I want peace.
I want harmony. I want, you know, calm in my life.
I want to feel. Healthy children.
Yeah, exactly. I didn't really realize it at the time.
But later on, I saw that i was always living kind of like this immigrant consciousness and usually people who are immigrants um like my generation before me was there's a mentality of scarcity there's a mentality of you have to protect everything like i was the guy that kept turning off the air conditioning all day long even after i had, because I was so afraid always of going broke.
It's funny. So there's all of these like complicated, either generational or things you saw, experienced or felt, or you brought from past life that is causing you to have limited beliefs or competing beliefs around what you can receive.
Once I realized that having money doesn't mean having a broken family, having money actually
is a blessing and you can have it all.
I kept telling myself that you can have it all.
You can have amazing children, healthy children, and have success and prosperity.
And I started to reprogram my belief system about that.
Then the gates opened immediately and the energy comes in.
So I would tell everybody listening, hey, if there's an area you're stuck it always starts with one thing your belief about what would happen if it wasn't stuck so there is some part of you that actually likes enjoys appreciates or feels comfortable with the current situation so what's the biggest belief then that holds people back from making more money?
Let's go through the list.
It has to be painful.
It has to be a struggle.
I have to suffer to make money.
If you believe that to be true,
then your soul is going to make a different calculus,
which is, do I want to suffer or not?
Your soul is going to say, no, I don't want to suffer. So what you're going to do that day is not manifest the reality of wealth.
So this is like probably the biggest belief system I see. You must suffer to be successful.
That's number one. Another one would be, I am not deserving of it for whatever reason.
I'm not deserving of it. Why? Because maybe something shameful I did in my past.
Maybe because I don't want to make the people around me feel uncomfortable. For example, there's one woman who told me she realized after studying Kabbalah that she's not married at the age of like 35 because her 37-year-old sister is not married.
So she was subconsciously sabotaging men because she didn't want to embarrass her sister. It was such a subconscious thing.
She didn't want to make her sister feel bad that she was married and happy and she's older and she's not married. Correct.
Interesting. And it was such a subconscious thing.
She didn't want to make her sister feel bad that she was married and happy, and she's older and she's not married. Correct.
Interesting. And it was such a subconscious thing, but that little bit of a subconscious desire will sabotage the process, and men will feel that when they approach her.
Wow. So in business, it's very much the same thing.
We have these subconscious desires and feelings and relationship with money. We might think money is bad.
We might think money is evil. We might look at like the 1% and say, look at what they're doing.
We might look at people who don't pay their taxes or have like, it was such a complicated view of money, but it's shaping and forming our belief system. And it's causing all these blockages because the creator wants you you to receive endlessly.
Because the creator is endless. Created a vessel to receive endlessly.
We are the only ones that are limiting it. This energy of abundance has already been given since
the time of creation and it has your name on it. There's an amount of wealth that belongs to you.
It might be held right now by somebody else holding it for you until your vessel is ready. And what happens if people make money before they're ready for the money to come? What happens if someone makes money before they're ready for the money to come? So let's say, for example, a good example of that would be theft.
Why does the Bible say someone should not steal? Is it wrong? Is it moral? Is it religiously an issue? Campbell is saying no. A person should not steal for one reason.
When you steal something, you are taking the energy of it without the vessel. You did not earn that money, so you don't have a spiritual vessel for it.
So this money that you took is basically like bringing 1,000 of energy to a 60 watt bulb. It will cause chaos for you.
That's the only reason. Not because I don't steal, not because society would like shame me or I could go to jail.
That's how a lot of people think. Because if there were no laws and nobody knew and you could just take whatever you want.
How many people would do it? A lot of people would do it. But if I knew I could steal and nobody would know about it, I know energetically I'm taking energy, but I don't have the vessel to hold it and it's going to cause me chaos.
So actually I don't want to ever bring energy that does not belong to me. And here's something else that's really powerful.
One of the things I always ask the creator is, I only want the wealth that is meant for me this year. I do not want a penny more.
I don't want a penny less because both will cause chaos. If I try to take wealth from someone else or someplace else that does not belong to me, or is not part of my vessel, then I have an overflow of energy and I'll have chaos.
If I do not take what is mine, I take less, then I'm going against a thought of creation, which is the creator wants me to be fulfilled. In both cases, this is a short circuit.
So we have to all align and stop trying to just make things happen or make business happen or make wealth happen and connect to, wait a minute, what is actually meant for me?

Trying to take, just because you're attracted to a woman doesn't mean she's yours. Just because you feel something doesn't mean it's part of your vessel.
So Kabbalah says you pause and you ask.
You ask the universe and say, hey, is this person meant for me?
If you still feel after the asking that there is an energy there that you can pursue.
But making that first pause actually involves creation as opposed to me coming from my own lack, my own issues, and my own fears to try to engage.
Do you remember the moment where you went from scarcity to abundance around money for yourself? Do you remember being like, oh, I'm no longer, I don't know, sleeping on couch. Like for me, it was like I was sleeping on couches even when I made money.
And I was, I didn't want to pay for hotels. I was like taking the bus as opposed to a plane.
I was sitting in the middle seats in the back still, the cheapest seat I could get, even though I was I didn't want to pay for hotels I was like taking the bus as opposed to a plane I was sitting in middle seats in the back still the cheapest seat I could get even though I was making money I was kind of scared to spend it to invest it in myself or my comforts or whatever it might be and then I remember it started to switch where I was like oh okay I have money in the bank I can get like a nice business class ticket if I want to. Even though it didn't make sense financially, I was like, why am I spending $800 when I can spend $200 and get to the same place? Yes.
Right? Why? It didn't make sense in my kind of like late 20s, early 30s. Yes.
Why am I spending $1,000 on this when I could buy a new iPhone for this and a hotel room doesn't make sense. I can just sleep on someone's couch.
It was still kind of limiting me from investing or spending for my benefit and my comfort. The greatest way to break a limited belief around receiving abundance is to spend time with people who have already broken it.
And... around receiving abundance is to spend time with people who have already broken it.
And the person that I married
13 years ago,
Mary Ruth,
I learned she did not have this belief.
And the first time I saw it...
Which belief?
Scarcity belief?
Scarcity belief.
She did not have it. And I'll tell you the first example of it.
When we were in debt, and I shared this in the last podcast, we were in debt and we had no money, six months behind in rent and like literally like sleeping on the floor, no income, debt, all these things. She came to me and said, I want to start nutrition.
And I said, what do you mean we're starting nutrition? She's like, I love health and wellness. I'm going to leave being a real estate agent, which she was doing well.
She'll make $30,000, $40,000 a month and just didn't have to pay off the debt payments that we had that she inherited from her family after the debts of her brother and father and her mom getting sick. So she's like, I'm going to leave my career making $34,000 a month.
I'm going to do nutrition consulting. I said, I get that's your passion, but this is absurd.
She's like, no, don't worry. I have complete certainty it's going to work out.
So she's created a program for $3,000, and then she just basically told everybody, I'm going to give you one free session for an hour, and if you like it, sign up for my program. She had 11 sessions a day.
She always signed up one person, and boom, boom, boom. And that was the genesis of Mirror with Organics, because it actually started as a health and wellness coaching program.
She had 11 sessions a day. She always signed up one person and boom, boom, boom.
And that was the genesis of Mary Ruth Organics because it actually started as a health and wellness coaching program. Then when she became fully booked, it became a video program.
And then when that was kind of like realizing there's a limit there, we created a product. And then we changed the name of the company from Million Dollar Lunchbox to Mary Ruth with Organics.
That was the original name of the, she called it Million Dollar Lunchbox because she had this belief that if you want to be very successful in life, you should always carry a lunchbox around so you always have the food that you need. Then you'll have the energy you need and you'll have the consciousness you need so you can manifest something.
That's interesting. Cute name.
Right. So then she did a year later she's like when we still had no money she's like i'm gonna go get an office at we didn't have we work back then it was regis i said you can get an office she's like yeah it's five thousand dollars a month and i'm just gonna go get it because once we get the office the energy will open up and the business will go to its next level i said that's ridiculous and she said i'm gonna go do it and she went and did that and then the next thing she, we're going to move to LA because that's closer to our factory.
I said, we don't have the money for that. She's like, don't worry.
I got a loan. I'm like, you got a loan? She's like, yeah, I got a loan for 22%.
I said, you got a high interest loan to move us to LA? She's like, we got to think that way. We just got to go.
She took the loan. She moved the family.
And then that was one of the best things that happened. And then she kept doing things over and over.
She's like, we're going to get you a nice car. I said, we can't afford a nice car.
She's like, I need you to be comfortable. I need you to be focused.
I need you to not have something that's going to break down because I need you to be that way. So you're the scarcity mindset.
I was completely the scarcity mindset. She was a abundant mindset.
Always. So she always, and the lesson here is obviously spend time with people who don't have it you know who your romantic partner is who your friends are you are inheriting their belief systems at every moment every moment you spend with them you're inheriting it i've become and i know you're the same way i have become so sensitive to if i spend 20 minutes with somebody, I'm learning that I am taking on their vessel.
Yeah.
And so we have to be extra cautious of who we're spending time with and who we depend on for energy. Because the energy transfer happens on a soul level when you depend on someone.
Because I was coaching all day long meeting people, you know, who had challenges and problems. And people were like, well, aren't you inheriting their belief systems and vessels? Only when you depend on them.
Meaning a friend, a romantic partner, a client that you absolutely need for your wealth. Livelihood.
Yeah, livelihood. You never want to be in a position where you need someone.
Because then you begin to inherit their negativity and inherit their belief systems. So I've learned like when I spend time with you or I spend time with other people who are successful financially or even a successful father or a successful like someone who's really good at fathering.
I'll spend time with them and my vessel will expand. My empathy for my children will expand.
My belief system of love will improve.
And it's so interesting because we're now, science is showing us that when you kiss someone, you inherit their microbiome.
So your gut changes.
Your whole body chemistry changes. Isn't that interesting?
So it's almost like you're taking on the belief system and the energy of a person when you kiss them.
That is true, too.
So people don't understand spiritually, the moment you kiss someone, because Kabbalah explains that the breath is a platform for the soul.
So the breath and the soul are intertwined.
And so when you kiss someone and the breath is exchanged, the souls begin to intermingle, which means the belief systems begin to intermingle, which means the desires begin to intermingle, and you begin to inherit the essence of who they are. So you could kiss a random person and then all of a sudden be angry for the next two hours and not know why.
Interesting. You've kind of taken upon a little bit of their generational trauma.
They're what we call tikkun, their soul's correction. And it stays and it goes and there's ways to remove it.
But every sexual partner we've ever had, we are inheriting a piece of who they are and they're inheriting a piece of ours, which is very fascinating. Wow.
So yeah, so on a physical level, we're interchanging belief systems and desires, but we're also doing it on a spiritual level. So that's the number one thing.
Spend time with people who are successful, who have an abundance mindset. And so when was the moment for you then? Because it sounds like for years you were questioning her abundance mindset.
You were like, we can't do this, or why are we doing this? It's too much money, or we can't move, we can't invest in this. So when was the moment you started to switch your belief system around money? Because it sounds like you had it around friends and family and service and health.
But when did you say, oh, I'm deserving of wealth? 35. So I'm 40 now.
Only at 35 did I finally realize this is, despite 15 years of Kabbalah, despite thousands and thousands of other teaching, when it's your issue, it's never that easy. When it's your ego, your soul's correction, it takes time.
And we have to be empathetic to that. Because I think a lot of times people judge, you know, can a doctor get sick? Sure.
Can a comedian be depressed? Absolutely. Can a spiritual leader or a thought leader or a speaker go through a tough time and not know how to break free for a long time? Absolutely, yes.
Because when it's you, it's very different. When it's somebody else, we're channels.
But for ourselves, we have to actually earn that gateway to be open. So it was about five years ago when I was 35, I realized, I just decided to take the plunge and stop doing everything I did that was limiting me.
Really? I remember the day when one of my friends called me and said, there's a seminar down in San Diego. I want you to come with me.
I said, all right, well, that's a three hour drive. What's the cost? And he's like, it's $10,000 for the day.
I said, $10,000. I I'm like why would I pay $10,000 for a one day seminar? It sounds like it's too much money.
What was the seminar? I'm curious. It was something around business seminar.
It was like an e-com Amazon thing because we had just started the company and we're big on Amazon. Yeah, so you're trying to figure out how do I master this? Yeah, it was a seminar on how to master Amazon, right? And he said to me, come on.
I said to him, I said, look.
It's too much money.
It's three hours away.
It's a whole day.
I threw that whole calculation.
He looked at me and he said, look, you know this better than I do.
If you learn one thing that inspires you, that's worth to your company hundreds of thousands
of dollars.
Do you know that you're going to learn one thing? I said, absolutely. I probably 40 things he's like so what's the calculus here signed up right away and i went and what's interesting is within the first hour i got an idea that was so amazing i left the seminar i actually didn't stay for the rest of the seminar i need to go do this now i need to go do this.
Because we can talk about this either in this episode or the next.
One of the things I have learned over time is when that idea comes, I have to manifest it in 24 hours.
Otherwise, it's gone.
It's gone.
Energetically, the negative side comes in.
Momentum is gone.
And so if I can push it, like without any space, without any laziness, without any doubt, just invest as much time and energy in those first 24 hours. That's the seed level.
You create a spiritual flywheel energetically that just breaks open the doors and things manifest. When you take time, once the creator gives you an idea and you take time and you put it off and you all of of a sudden space comes in, time comes in.
These are all qualities not of the light of the creator but of this physical world. And now you have left the world of miracles.
You have left the world of manifestation. You're entered into the world of what we call the tree of knowledge and logic, which is just up and down, chaos, darkness, pain and suffering.
Wow. So five years ago, it started to
switch. It started to switch.
And then once that switched, every decision I made was,
this is a function of my time. Is it going to be, is this worth my time to manifest more or not? So
that was the first calculus I used. So that was the question you would ask yourself.
All the time.
Say it again. Is this going to be worth it as a function of my time? Because what is...
How do you know? Well, what is the biggest mistake all founders make? I want to say mistake, but limitation that all founders have once they build a company that's doing well. The ability to delegate, because all of us, myself included, the first thought we have, which is a limited belief, who is going to do this better than me? I don't trust someone else to give it the love, the care.
This belief system will make you attract employees who sabotage as well. But I met a guy.
He had 20 employees when I had only two. And he said to me, I have 20.
And ever since I hired these right people, the best things happened. And they're doing it better than I am.
I said, they're doing it better than you are. I can't imagine hiring somebody that's going to do something better than I am.
So I'm like, look how much care and love. Like, no one's going to do it better than the founder.
So David, it's a limited belief. He said, you need to believe from this moment that there are people who are going to do it than the founder so david it's a limited belief he's like you need to believe from this moment there are people who do it better than you i said done he gave me his spiritual microbiome at that moment it's a belief system i said i'm gonna believe this wow i use the mantra over and over again i pray to the creator to give me the instill in me this consciousness so there's like a little cabal meditation that i do over and.
And then I told myself, there is somebody out there who's going to be better at this than I am. And I kid you not, if you want to know what happened, right after that, we started to need help because we had a kid and we needed somebody to help.
So we called the company and they said, look, there's people who can come part-time and wash your dishes. It was like a – it's called Runaround Betty or something.
So this girl comes. She's like 26 years old.
She comes to our house. She's just cleaning dishes and just hopping around the house.
And then I walk in. You know, Mary Ruth is there.
And I'm like, what's her name? She said her name. I said, what did you do before this? I'm like, you're doing dishes now.
She said, oh, I was a project manager at a big company. I said, you're a project manager at a big company and you're washing dishes now? She's like, yeah.
I got sobered out. I said, you know what? I just want to relax and just do things that are fun.
I said, okay. So we watched her for a couple weeks just come in.
She did, obviously, the best job you can imagine cleaning the house, organizing things. I said to Meredith, I said, she's unbelievable.
Like she became our first employee in the company. And three years later, she became the COO of our company.
No way. Yeah.
That's cool. Great.
She pretty much ran the whole company. Wow.
Crazy. And she did it phenomenally for those years.
Yeah, yeah. Right? And it was all after just changing the belief system that you could, how do we manifest this? She came through a dishwashing service who then ended up becoming a C-level executive at a unicorn brand.
And to see that, to watch that, realizing that all the limitations we have in our company always come from the consciousness of the founder. If I look at any company and I look at your org chart and I sit and I interview your executives, your vice presidents, your managers, I will learn everything about you, even if I never met you.
Each person will be a fraction of who you are. The part of you that is anxious will be one C-level.
The part of you that is excited and thinks unlimited, there'll be another department executive. You can see the amalgamation of a person's consciousness spread out amongst their executives, their directors, their managers, so on and so forth.
So how powerful this is that as founders, we need to spiritually work on ourselves,
expand our consciousness, remove our limited beliefs, work on our fears, go in a deep soul level, clean it all out, and it's amazing. Either the employees will elevate to that or the employees will leave.
Like, they'll just quit. Yeah.
And then the new energy comes in. So what are the things you say to yourself on a daily basis then? Either the prayers or mantras or the thoughts or the internal things that you say, the external things you say to keep you in an abundance mindset? When things go wrong.
When you made an investment in something and it doesn't pay off. When you hired someone and they weren't the right fit.
When whatever. Whatever might be going something that's a breakdown and you're like oh i spent this money and i lost the money what's the mantra to keep you on track of either the vibration or frequency of abundance instead of saying i made a mistake or what a dumb thing why did i do that that was stupid pause when a pleasure i say this mantra all the time i pause what do i pause i pause the part of me that wants to fix the problem and look for some form of instant gratification to numb my pain or i need certainty about something right so your question was what do i say to myself or what is my mantra or my affirmation when something goes wrong? That's different than when everything's going right.
So when something goes wrong, I feel pain on a soul level, on a body level. Where do you feel it? Throat, chest, stomach? I usually feel it in my stomach.
Head? I feel it in my stomach. I feel it in my neck and my shoulders.
And the famous example, I've shared this before, is when my CFO called me one day, and I remember where I was because when there was some traumatic thing that happens, you always remember where you are. I was in my basement of my home.
He calls in the morning and said, we have a problem. I said, what's the problem? And he said, we have been a victim of wire fraud.
I said, okay, what does that mean? He said, well, we just lost $1.1 million. I said, what happened? He's like, well, somebody hacked our system, spoofed an email, pretended to be one of our manufacturers, requested an invoice to be paid, and changed the bank account.
He said, well, we have protocols. You always call to confirm when a bank change has been made.
He said, I know. I did not do that.
Ooh. I said, okay.
Now, every emotion you can imagine. 1.1 million taken from you.
Stolen. Disappeared into the ether.
Oh, my God. I, what were the feelings I felt? Anger, frustration, rage, fear.
Like, are we going to make our months? Like, how is this going to affect our valuation? Like there was a thousand things right into my mind. Now, if I didn't know Kabbalah and I didn't know spirituality at that moment, what would I have done? I would have screamed at him.
I would say, call the FBI.
Call our lawyers.
We need to fix this problem immediately.
Like, I would go off.
I would go off on my kids.
I would go off on Mary Ruth.
I would go off and the whole day would be in a bad mood.
Now, I felt all those emotions and I was in a horrible mood at that moment.
And then I remembered, this test has come from the creator.
And I know something.
One thing comesbalah has taught me. Every time you desire to go to your next level.
And the month before, the business was doing well, but it wasn't doing as well as I wanted. And I started to walk in the streets of Los Angeles and pray to the creator and to the universe and say, show me how to expand my vessel.
See, prayer is not, God, you need to change. You need to stop doing what you're doing and change everything about my situation to make me comfortable.
A lot of times that's what prayer is. It's bribing God.
Give me something. Please help me.
Give me more energy because I'm lacking. The creator said, why are you yelling at me? I've already given all the energy.
You need to expand the vessel to receive it. So the prayer needs to be, give me the strength to expand my vessel.
So I made a prayer that said, what do I need to expand my vessel? What do I need to clean out about my limited beliefs? What limited beliefs do I even have? Show them to me, reveal them to me, because I want to get to the next level of the company. And as a co-founder, I am the sole person that is limiting this company.
Okay, if there's a problem with an employer, there's a problem with the economy, or there's a problem with inflation, or there's a problem with a product, that is all a function of my consciousness nothing else what inflation is my fault inflation is an illusion from the point of view if i believe that i can have everything and i've cleared myself of my negativity and my selfishness and my fears and my soul's correction inflation can touch me. The wrong economy or the bad economy can't touch you.
No negativity can touch you. You will manifest what your soul is meant to have.
Even if 8 billion people try to stop you from it, you will get there. There's this famous meme that showed Elon Musk, I don't think it was, 2019 was on the verge of bankruptcy.
And then five years later, he's the wealthiest man in the world, right? Crazy. It's like, how did he go? Everybody was against him at that time.
I don't know if you remember. Everybody was like, they were selling his stock.
It was the Ponzi scheme. They were shorting him.
And it was like the pressure and he needed the money. I forgot exactly what the details were, but I remember whatever he did, whatever consciousness belief system he had, he transcended time and he was able to manifest that reality because most people would buckle into the...
When I got injured playing football, my whole world collapsed and my dream of being a professional athlete was gone just like that. I was broke, sleeping on my sister's couch, feeling sorry for myself, but at some point I had to make a choice, stay stuck in that pain or embrace a no bull mentality and build something new.

This is a test to expand my vessel and it's connected and correlated with the prayer I made 30 days ago. I asked the creator for my next level.
I asked for a thousand watts of energy. The creator said, okay, but I see 60 watt bulb.
Are you going to be with me here? Because we're about to expand you to a thousand. How do I expand to a thousand? I need to see the parts of me that are limited.
Well, how can I see that? I need something to test me. Nothing would test me.
I need a breakdown. I need to be broken down.
Temporarily. Yes.
Not forever. It's not going to be forever.
The creator only wants good. So the illusion of a breakdown is happening so that I see the parts of me that are dormant, that I've stuffed down, that I never wanted to look at so I can cleanse it out and expand my spiritual vessel to bring the wealth in.
What was the part of you that was dirty, that you needed to clean out? Let's see what came out. Blame, anger, my control issues came up.
My scarcity mindset, oh my God, what's going to happen? I remember at Conor Marils, I'm like, this happened. She's like, that sounds horrible.
She like went and made a sandwich or something. She's like, I got to go.
We can talk about this later. And I what are you talking about like and i and it was another level of my scarcity mindset and it was so powerful because i went to your um someone of greatness your someone of greatness it was my first time i ever met you and somebody invited me said you're going to come to this and uh and jones spencer was talking it was the first three hours and i always wanted to see him too and i sat there and what I did? It's the same thing I did.
Once I heard the one thing you and he said, then I left. I got it.
I got the one thing that opened my mind. And he gave the example, I might butcher it a little bit.
He gave the example when he was in New York and he was meeting with some very wealthy person and he had gone to his office and it was like the worst day of his life
and he lost all his money or something.
And he was just sitting there
like having like a hamburger or a sandwich.
I don't remember.
Oh, the wealthy guy.
Do you remember this story?
Yeah, yeah.
I can't remember the ending,
but yes, I remember telling this.
Yes.
So Joe's like...
He lost like a billion dollars
or something crazy.
The guy was just like,
oh, let's go have lunch
and have a sandwich.
Yeah.
And he's like, I'm always wealthy. Like there's no, it was a total illusion that i lost a billion dollars like i am wealth he said i am wealth i am wealth as he's eating his hamburger with like ketchup all over his face total cool as a cucumber and i have seen people who when something happens they just already know their essence their energy right the money comes and the money goes, like, in a moment.
And it reminded me of an example. When I was in the Hamptons, I was visiting, somebody invited me to their beautiful home in the Hamptons, like, gorgeous, and he was a young guy, like, 38, and he had manifested all this wealth.
And he was sitting there, and he was having, like, a soda. And I said to him, I said, you know, I have a question for you.
You know, you made all of this money so quickly. Like, do you ever get worried? Like, what if you lost it all? What if something happened to the company just kind of like, you know, you bought this beautiful home, but what if the company didn't do well? It's sitting there just like, it's leaking.
It's like, what's the baby? It was making it back. Wow.
And I said, this guy, because he's already there.
There's certainty. Because of that certainty, and he's already like, whether I have the physical money or I don't, I know I'm wealthy.
And I know this is my essence. And I know that I am wealth.
He will not be tested in this department. You're only tested where you have a weak or limited belief system.
So because I had still to cleanse out the scarcity mindset, I needed the money to be stolen. You needed the money to be stolen? Stolen to awaken my scarcity fear so I could cleanse it.
You can only cleanse what comes up to the surface. And so how do you cleanse it though? You know, when you've had something for so long and some big breakdown happens, how do you, what's the process of cleansing the limiting belief so that you can step into certainty that you are wealthy, even if you don't have wealth? Yeah.
And this is the first session I teach in my masterclass. The first thing you need to do in those first few minutes, even seconds, is the most powerful time to transform your soul.
It's the reason why your soul came to this world. And it is how you expand your spiritual vessel to let the next level in.
What I did is I put the phone down. I said, I'm going to call you right back.
Put the phone down. And I'm feeling every negative emotion you can imagine.
It's come up to the surface. I'd be screaming at that point.
I wanted to. I wanted to.
but my Kabbalah mindset
my spiritual mindset
started the screaming at that point i wanted to i wanted to and but my my my kabbalah mindset my spiritual mindset started to kick in a little bit and said okay you've been waiting for this moment we've been waiting for this wow we've been waiting and do you remember you prayed for this 30 oh my gosh and do you remember that really all there is is your consciousness and the way you react to everything and do you know that this is all an illusion that if you expend your vessel right now, all that money will come back plus more? And my consciousness was telling me that, but my body was on fire. My body was like telling my consciousness, you know, shut the F up.
Yeah, yeah, of course. Screw you.
Screw you. And there was this war that happened.
This is the real world. This is not a consciousness world.
This is money. My money is taken.
Exactly. Because it's all nice and spiritual.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love the creator.
I love the mindset. Oh, yes, I am well.
That's all great. Until it's taken.
And you're tested. Until you're tested.
Oh, my gosh. And this war was happening.
I was watching it happen. And I said, okay, body, we need to get you under control.
So the way I do it is I just come up with the mantra that will break the body's limited belief. And I will say it over and over again.
And if that doesn't work, I will jog around the room to get my body moving. And eventually what I did is I started to sing out loud the mantra and dance all around the room like a crazy person.
That's what I did. Because I needed to get mind, body, and soul into this.
And I was like, I love this. I kept saying, what a pleasure.
I love this. This is amazing.
I love that I lost a million dollars. This is the most amazing thing that's ever happened.
Creator, I love you. I love it.
This is perfect. This is the best thing.
I love this. I wish it was more.
I said I wish it was more. That is, you are supposed to.
People think this is not the right thing to do. Spiritually, when you are in pain, you should say give me more pain.
Why? Because you are now energetically completely instilling the certainty that pain is good. when you say, give me more pain, if you have a headache and you say, my teacher taught me this.
His name is Rob Burke. He said, when you have a headache, you ask for more headache.
That's how the headache goes away. When you have a toothache, you ask for more toothache.
You don't ask for it when things aren't good because then you're actually drawing in that reality. But when you're – You don't say, man, I'm in a great place.
Give me pain right now. No.
No, no, no. Spiritually speaking- No, you don't want to call in pain.
No, because then that is feeding your belief system that you don't deserve happiness. Yeah, or peace or all these things.
Or love. Correct.
But when the money's been stolen, you say, my money's been stolen. I wish all my money was stolen.
When you do that, you're basically feeding the belief system that you have certainty. It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter. I'm going to get it back anyways.
Correct. I am wealth.
I am wealth. And if this pain needs to happen for my spiritual process, allow it to happen.
I trust the creator. So if it's a million, if it's five million, if it's 20 million, I wish for it all to have a million it needs to.
So don't wish for, yeah, it's not like take my whole business, take everything off my back right now. But it's more I wish that everything needs to happen, is happening for me to get to the next level.
I would be okay with it. And I would tell the creator, I say, look, you took a million, but maybe you wanted to take two, but you didn't think I could handle it.
I'm telling you I can handle it. If I need it to be taken, I can handle it.
If that's what's required of me to get to the next level, do whatever is necessary. Isn't the goal the next level? Wow.
So a person says, I want money. Okay.
Or I want wealth. Okay.
You will be given the exact specific dynamic you need to expand and build your vessel to get wealth. The only reason you haven't manifested it is because when those opportunities came, you did not transform.
Oh. So what is holding people back from transforming then in order to get what they really want? Just knowing what we just said, that instead of running away from the pain, running away from the fear, you need to do two things.
You need to, at that moment, act like God. you need to pause your reactive behavior.
Reactive behavior, by definition, is any thought, word, or action which comes from lack or fear in order to connect to instant gratification. You are now opposite the vibration of the creator and you are now disconnecting from the realm of light and miracles when you pause and you do not need that part of you you starve it essentially this is what transforms it and then you become in the vibration of the creator when instant gratification would have been screaming at my cfo like a maniac, trying to fix the problem.
For most people, instant gratification is trying to fix the problem right away. But shouldn't you try to fix the problem? So how did you fix the problem then? Like what happened? Well, here's the thing.
So wait, let me recap this first, because once this happened, you have all your money, not all your money, but over a million dollars stolen from you. Your whole body takes over and shut down in scarcity mode and anger and rage and frustration and betrayal and all these different things.
You pause and your spiritual background reminds me that this is an opportunity. Reminds you this is an opportunity.
You start saying in your mind. I still wanted this since a time creation.
So you're reminding yourself internally. Then it's not working.
So you're saying it out loud. Then you're walking around.
You're moving your body. You're dancing.
You're singing. You're shifting your energy and saying the things that, thank you so much, creator.
I'm grateful for you. Take more if you need more for me to transform.
I appreciate this.
I love this.
I love you.
And I believe that you're creating this for me to become better and get to the next level.
Everything that I asked for 30 days ago.
Correct.
And then what happened next?
It took me about 15 to 20 minutes.
These types of things used to take me days.
Yeah. It took me 15 to 20 minutes to get to a place where I'm like, all right, this is great.
I don't care about the million. I had to let go of my attachment of the small vessel to the big vessel.
You often have to sacrifice the small-minded thinking, the small conscious, the small vessel. The universe will always take something away from you in order to break open to give you the bigger thing.
And so once I felt that, then I called my CFO back. I said, hey, call the FBI.
Call my lawyer. Mobilize the team.
We're going to have a discussion about how to fix the problem. You should try to go to fix the problem.
Those words that I said would have been the exact same words I would have said 20 minutes prior. But what's the difference? The first scenario, I would have come from the world that disconnected from miracles.
In the second scenario, I am now God, like God. At that moment, I'm on the vibration of God.
So now God is part of the meeting. God will be there.
The creator will be there with the FBI. The creator will be there with, because I've created a vessel for the creator.
The creator is everywhere, but only where there's a vessel to reveal him. Because if he was revealed, it would be the bread of shame.
It would be not earned. So we asked the creator to conceal his energy so that we could create a vessel to reveal it.
Yes. Because if something is revealed without my free will, this is the worst pain that there is.
This is why children who are just born to wealthy families have shame and go to drugs because there's all this energy, but they didn't create it and choose it. And so it overwhelms them
and then it creates more darkness.
Wow.
And so it's the same words,
but it's a different consciousness.
And now you want to know how the story ends?
Yes.
So I'm now thinking,
I'm in the world of miracles.
This is it.
We're going to get the money back.
Seven days later, the CFO calls me and says, okay, I talked with the bank. They tracked where the money was from.
This is amazing news. He said, yeah, but it's gone.
You can't get it back. I can't get it back.
Yeah, you can't get it back. Yeah.
That was the second test. Because when a lot of people are going to hear this podcast, they're going to be like so jazzed up.
And they're going to like i can't wait to go love the pain certainty pleasure like what a pleasure this is great and they're going to go out there and try what we're talking about and if the prize is really big there's going to be actual several levels to this test so then what's going to happen is you're going to do all this and then something's going to go completely the opposite of what you wanted and you're going to be like this stuff that david lewis we're talking about doesn't work this doesn't work there is no creator that it becomes that's the second test so then when the money didn't hit another level of doubt another another layer of doubt scarcity came up i'm like oh my god what a pleasure i didn't i didn't know that this layer was in there two. Let's go.
So it came up again. And I said, by the way, just bring it all out.
Like, who came to the lost? So it was another dance. You're like, I've been broke before.
Who cares? Exactly. I'm like, everything is in the hands of the creator anyways.
And I just want to expand my vessel. Money, no money.
Like, if this is expanding me, I want it. Because once I'm expanded, once the vessel has become the proper vessel, it's a guarantee that the energy comes in.
Do not ask how. Do not ask from where.
Do not manipulate. Do not look over your shoulder to see if it's coming.
Another test is you also have to have certainty letting go of how
it's going to come. And when.
And when. Once you,
because these are all spiritual lessons that Kabbalah explains,
like I'm giving them like piece by piece.
Having the certainty of letting go of when
and how and from whom
and acknowledging
the negativity that comes up and getting
excited about it, like all of this is
the part of building this incredible vessel that you want, you've asked for since your birth. So then that happens.
Did we get the money? No, we didn't. But I let it go.
I said, you know what? I built the vessel. The energy is going to come.
I'm not worried about when. I think it was a month later.
We had some miraculous thing happen. Something went viral, like a piece of content.
Something happened that, like, lifted sales to a level that we just, we never had broken through before. And a new momentum was created.
Was this about five years ago or is this about? No, this was, like, two years ago. When the money was stolen.
When the money was stolen. Wow.
Yeah, so, and then I remember like we slaughtered the budget at that point. It was like every year our company has grown an average of 50 to 60%.
Wow. And after we broke the 100 million revenue mark, I think like four years ago, three years ago, everyone said, hey, companies don't grow at 50% a year.
You should look at 20. These are all the, you know, the Harvard grads, all the mathematicians, all the, my friends, they're like, 20% of what you should aim for.
Investors, a lot of PE firms, like this is the, this is the gold standard, right? Grow 20% revenue and have 20% EBITDA. It's kind of the gold standard for the highest valuation.
So they're like, that should be your goal. And I'm like, that should be my goal.
Let me consult with my boss. So I went to the creator and I said, you know, these very brilliant people are very smart.
They keep saying that our budget should be and our goal should be 20%. But what is my soul? What is our soul meant to do? What is my soul meant to do? Like, where are the founders? Like, what do you feel? And I would go for a walk.
And I would just keep asking this question. So this question, when I ask it vibrationally, it changes my spiritual vessel and then the answer can come in.
Because the universal GPS, the creator already knows past, present, and future, knows every possible destiny, that is the greatest consult. Spring is here, and so are the deals at Didi's Discounts.
From trendy outfits to home makeovers, Didi's has all the deals you need. I'm talking everything from sandals and sundresses to spring throw pillows and scented candles.
You love a good deal? Get in your bag and get to Didi's Discounts. So, and I believe religion, you know, has done so many beautiful things, but I think religion has also made us lose the appreciation for this energy.
And even Kabbalah, a lot of people are like, well, what is Kabbalah? And I'm not sure what it is. And I...
Kabbalah is just your relationship with this infinite energy. And it's just teaching you how to build a vessel.
Forget about religion. Moses, Abraham, Jesus, none of them even know what religion is.
You go to Moses and say, are you Jewish? He'd be like, what's Jewish? You go to Jesus and say, are you Christian? He'd be like, what's Christian? You go to Abraham and say, you know, he'd be like, what are you talking about? These were spiritual people who understood the laws and secrets of our university. They were Kabbalists.
They knew how to create a vessel. So they created, they brought down the wisdom of spirituality to the whole world and exists until today.
The best-selling book of all time is, right after Make Money Easy, is the Bible. Because they encapsulated the spiritual wisdom in the Bible, but it's very coded.
If you read the Bible literally, it makes no sense. So the decodification of this book actually reveals all of the spiritual wisdom.
So going now back to what I was talking about. So I went for one or two hour walk.
I do this all the time. And I've always learned this is the best two hours.
Do not fill your schedule. Walk and talk and ask.
Connect to the universal GPS. The wisdom will come down and you'll be shown what to do.
And I've had a couple major ideas come in those walks that then manifested into $100 million revenue streams, which we can talk about also later. But on that walk, the number kept coming.
It's 50% to 60% growth. You should push the team on that.
It was such a fight. I went to the board and I went to the investors.
I went to our executives. I'm like, guys, we can do 50% to 60%.
And everyone's hoeing and hawing and saying, no, it's not possible. Where is it going to come from? How is it going to happen? There's no pipeline here.
And I said, I don't know. You guys are all smarter than me.
But I, you know, what do I know? I didn't go to business school. You own what the business school is.
You have 30, 40 years experience. I'm just a guy teaching some classes here.
But I spoke with the big man. And he said it's 50, 60 percent.
So call me a crazy founder. I went to Mary Ruth.
And Ruth is like, listen, if you believe it, I believe it too. In fact, she's like, why can't it be 200%? I said, I agree.
So I said, but let's not, let's not, let's not, you know, I don't think the team's ready to hear that. So I went back and eventually we kept pushing it.
I think we agreed to something in the middle. And what happened was.
As a goal to reaching for the next year. Yes.
Because we always make the budget a few months before the next calendar. The next quarter of next year, yeah.
That's right. So I think we set on like maybe 35% or something.
So we just closed the year and it came out to like 56% growth. Like literally right in the middle of what the creator had said.
And I was at the board meeting. This was two weeks ago.
And I looked at all the executives and I said, all right, guys, what's the budget for next year? This is now. This is two weeks ago.
Present time. Yeah.
Because we just have 56%. They're like, all right, it's 20% growth.
I'm like, guys, are we doing this again? I said, we just had 56%. And so one guy's like, well, we got lucky.
I said, what do you mean we got lucky? And I said, well, we didn't anticipate TikTok was going to do so well.
And TikTok came.
And we became one of the number one brands on TikTok.
And then I said, well, last year, what happened when we had 60% growth?
It was something else.
So we got lucky then, too.
I said, what happened?
He said, something happened at Whole Foods.
One of the competitors ran out of stock.
And then all of a sudden, I said, the shelf space opened up.
Yeah, the shelf space opened up. I said, OK, so what happened the year happened the year before i said guys for 10 years in a row we're getting lucky something new so why can't we do it again next year we're getting lucky and i'm you know it's not easy for me to try to um bring a spiritual concepts to a board meeting of like 15 really smart people but But I said, and this is kind of like where
Mara and I are just always laughing
because together we're such a team
and we have so much respect and love and appreciation.
Like anything Mara has ever said,
even if I think it's like totally a bad idea
and everybody challenges her, investors.
And I have learned in 10 years, if she comes up with it, it is always true. It has always worked out.
And so I've learned to trust her. And she's learned to trust me.
Wow. And that's why we make a great team.
And that is why this year we actually bought back our company. Because we realized that because three years ago we sold a minority stake.
And then we said, wait a minute. And they were the best partners.
They were such good partners. But we realized if we could take back full control and just put fully our consciousness on the cap table, because whoever's on your cap table, you are dealing with their soul correction as well.
Every investor karmically is now tied to your company and their energy is affecting it. Wow.
So clean up your cap table. And basically, we told the board this, that week, let's go for more.
And we're actually currently talking about it. There's still a little bit of a disagreement about where it is.
Sure, sure. Wow.
I want to recap this real quick because this is really powerful. We're talking about how to create abundance, financial prosperity, and manifest more wealth.
And what I'm hearing you say, and what we've talked about in a few different episodes now, is that our whole purpose in life should be to create a clean vessel and continue to expand and update that vessel to receive more. And in order to receive more, we need to let go of certain things, break through certain things, you know, generate new beliefs that support us to receiving more.
If we don't believe we're deserving of receiving more, it's not going to happen. Or if it happens, we're going to melt down.
Correct. We don't have enough wattage to take on the new energy that is coming to us.
That's correct. And this is where you see people with depression, drug abuse, challenges, and other addictions when they haven't cleansed themselves of their vessel.
And when we want to get to the next level or we're in a breakdown or we feel stuck or we feel blocked, there's a process that you've talked about to manifesting more and getting to the next level.
Number one, pause.
And I think that's beautiful.
Pause.
As opposed to like running around
and doing more of the same
that's keeping you stuck,
pause and say to God, the creator,
the energy of the world,
what a pleasure.
I agree with this.
I agree with this.
I agree with this.
I'm aligning with you.
I'm aligning with you. And you may be screaming at the creator saying, why is this happening to me? Why is this? Why did this person die in my life? Why am I sick? Why am I broke? Why did he get fired? Instead of saying, why is this happening to me? Say, I agree with this.
I agree. I don't understand it.
Okay. But I agree.
I understand. Because by agreeing, I go on your vibration, and that's how I understand it.
People want to understand, then agree. People want to understand, then appreciate.
Yes. But if you first appreciate and agree, then you'll understand.
Interesting. So I agree with this.
What a pleasure. Then understand that this test is from the creator.
Correct. When you understand this is a test from the creator, it's designed for you.
It's specifically designed for you. And third step is asking, why is this in my movie? What do I need to cleanse? So then later on after, I have to see my anger, my control, all these fears came out.
And then I literally write that down and I make it a point to work through those issues. Because it's one thing not being reactive.
The second step is how do I go deeper into my soul to see what my soul correction is? Yes. Show me how to expand my vessel.
Why is this in my movie? Step three. Step four, show me my limiting beliefs.
What are my limiting beliefs? What are the things that I'm saying, thinking, acting that are keeping me in this situation? If you ask that out loud, you will then, the universe will rearrange itself to show you immediately. It might come through your children.
It might come through, you know, it's interesting before I came here the last time for our podcast, I was like, okay, I was in my car praying. I said, help me be a messenger for, you know, for our audience.
Help me not speak from my brain. And I really want to be a channel because you've seen we go all over
the place we have like all these questions we often don't even get to them and i um i think i got like 500 questions from my instagram stories when i asked them what should i talk to louis about so i was like thinking about what should i talk about and i said no no no i need that the creator will come and help be a channel as soon as i asked for that i i got a text i got a text without getting into the details of what this text was it was from someone i had spoken to a long time and it was a text that got me so angry so upset today no this was yesterday first podcast okay yeah yeah first time first time On the relationship side was i looked at it as i was driving and i said oh my god like my but it all came up and first thing i want to do is respond be defensive and try to solve the problem i'm like wow after 25 years of this wisdom after 10 minutes ago i asked the creator to expand my vessel to help bring as much energy as we can into this. The creator sent this person.
Like, awaken this person. Text me at that moment.
What are the odds? I haven't spoke to this person forever. And they send something.
And they're like, this and that. I'm upset about this and all these things.
And I'm like, wait, this is a misunderstanding.
This is not right.
This person is now going to go create a whole problem.
Yeah, they don't understand me.
They don't understand me, which is a big soul correction for people.
When you feel not understood, this is actually something your soul brought into this world to cleanse and change because you were looking for validation.
We all want to be understood, but when you need it to be happy, it's a whole different book. So I looked at this person's text, and I said, okay, wait one second.
Here it is again. This is a test to expand who I am.
I did not respond. I put it down, and the rest of the drive, it was about 10 minutes to get to Century City.
I said, creator, these things are coming up. Thank you.
I love this. I will will work on this i will go through the process i love that this happens i want to be on your vibration i agree that it happens and i will take responsibility for the feelings that are coming up after the podcast because we know we need to be focused that shifted me to a whole nother level in order to kind of be what we need to be.
So every time something important is about to happen, you most likely will have something that will come in to mess you up and to bring it up. So if you are asking the creator to see your limited beliefs, might come from your children, might come from your relationship, might come from your business.
Something will trigger you to show you the parts of you and the vibrations of you that are unlike the creator. Wow.
Okay. The next step you say is to clear yourself of negativity.
And then the step after that is to remind yourself that, well, we talked about I am wealth. I am abundance.
I am unlimited power. I am all these things.
Kind of reminding yourself these things.
These are all qualities of the creator.
So the creator is wealth.
The creator is abundance.
The creator is powerful.
Yes.
And you said if you're still unable to get through the negative feeling,
it's to create this mantra to help you break through the limiting belief.
And, you know, if you're feeling it in your body, you can say walk around sing dance whatever what a pleasure i love you creator thank you for bringing this in my life thank you for helping me expand my my vessel yeah and i think that's really powerful and and and you mentioned also the distinction to run into the pain and fear not try to fix the problem right away that's right run into the pain and fear and fear. Feel the pain.
And let go of the attachment to your small vessel
so you can get to the bigger vessel.
Right.
Because every time we're upset,
the small vessel will emerge and try to take control.
And then you'll be in the same destiny in the same movie.
This is powerful.
And there's a big question I want to ask you.
There's two big questions I want to ask you.
Because I think a lot of people watching and listening are saying to themselves, gosh, I'm really burnt out. I work so hard and I'm not making more money.
Like how come other people, it just seems effortless. It seems like they don't have to work.
It just seems like they're relaxed about everything and just things come to them. So easy for them.'m over here grinding eight ten twelve sixteen hour days and i'm just like behind on my bills and i'm not able to get ahead and i'm just my question is does hard work relate to making more money and abundance and i want you to answer it in the next episode that we do.
So we're going to get to that in the next episode about money. And I want you to walk through the step-by-step process from you going broke to becoming a millionaire and what the practical steps are.
