crimsonsymphonyWhat you got, Matt?
nelsonepegaAlright, go for it.
danielp72954909Alright, so I do. I interview a lot of artists about the music business because I'm trying to figure out the music business for myself. I'm like 52. I'm starting my music career here in Vegas and getting things rocking. And my question for him is.
crimsonsymphonyWhen artists, you know, start going out there in the public and getting a lot of attention.
crimsonsymphonyLike, it seems like they get so busy and they need help, and then they give away all the equity to their company, to other people, managers, record labels, what have you. And then by the time they get to the middle of their career, they're barely making it. They're just like broken and mad about everything. You know how?
crimsonsymphonyWhat? What kind of advice would he ask? Or would he give to new artists coming up about how to not get yourself in a pickle like that?
crimsonsymphonySo that's gonna that's going to be my question.
crimsonsymphonyOK, dope, dope. Appreciate you man. Appreciate you.
nelsonepegaOK, awesome. Awesome.
grantcardoneAlright, who else wants to jump in on stage?
nelsonepegaYeah, what, what is the, what is the future of hip-hop and like how does he see it tying in with society like you know, culture wise and the future without going too much like auto tune DJ, you know, what is the what is his, how does hip-hop tying with that.
christosttrAwesome, awesome that's.

grantcardoneWhether I can bring them live or recorded, I'm gonna bring them over here to Twitter spaces. I'm trying to do this to get Elon's attention and other content creators to bring more content creators to Twitter to help Elon win this battle against.
grantcardoneBig tech and and controlled media if you will. And it really helped him bring on new new content creators, new eyeballs which will mean new advertisers for them and and more freedom to build and grow what I think we all need here which is freedom of speech.
grantcardoneNow 100% grant 100% mainly if you can.
nelsonepegaThe angle I'm working, Nelson. You see the angle I'm working, man.

nelsonepegaHey, thank you. Thank you for having me up here. All my question for Master P is what does he think young?
coach_turbyYoung upcoming people should do if they're thinking about doing music, should they go into business or should they continue to pursue the music industry even though there's, you know, a lot of ups and downs and unknowns? Because I'm interested to see like why he removed himself from the music and or not completely removed himself from the industry but went into more of a business side of things.
coach_turbyGot it. Yeah. Beautiful.

You got to put this out there, make sure you're following Graham makes you have the alerts on for grants, Twitter, just so you're alerted every time he opens his space here on Twitter. But let's keep rocking and rolling.
nelsonepegaAnd, and yeah, and Nate Nelson, any feedback you guys can give me about what kind of room you'd like because I'm really going to make a commitment to doing something here. I know you know the Bitcoin, the the NFT and the 4X and the stock market thing is pretty much covered up here. So what would you guys like in addition to what you're already getting from other rooms or spaces?
grantcardoneThat that I could deliver here that would add value to your life and help you in your business.
grantcardone100%.
nelsonepegaAny input you have on that I appreciate.
grantcardoneWell, I would say, I would say, I would say like even like some of the big pitch rooms that we used to do back on clubhouse or or even some coaching.
davidtejerasOhh wow. Yeah dude, I love that. You know, I was doing a room this morning where somebody asked me how to pitch a deal.
grantcardoneHmm.
nelsonepegaI just happened to pop in somebody's room and the room loved it, man. I looked like a role play room, like setting up situations.
grantcardoneLet's go.
nelsonepegaYeah, well, we got to remember, especially for those of us that have been with Grant and you know, Nelson, of course, by the way, shout out Nelson with the biggest club on clubhouse over in spaces. Eat that clubhouse.
davidtejerasUmm.
davidtejerasHe ain't stupid.
grantcardoneSuch a dirty word you're on.
maileprmediaWe you know you know The thing is though is that I I mean the amount the amount of rooms and ideas that we've already done over there you know we've we we've already got that we can just bring like those pitch rooms how to pitch a deal right that would be that would be amazing because we just really you don't really see that on spaces.
davidtejerasYeah, that's a real practical thing that that would you, you know, provide people with.
grantcardoneYou know, real practical skills and tools.
grantcardoneThat.
grantcardoneI.
grantcardoneYeah.
grantcardoneGrant I almost never steal the mic. I'm going to steal the mic for a second and ask that you bring may Musk. I would love to see Elon's mom. She's a prolific writer and awesome author. I would love you to bring some more female voices here. So if you could get Elon's mom, that would be awesome.
maileprmediaYeah. How well can you help me do that?
grantcardoneI can I can try.
maileprmediaOK. And then and then, you know, we could probably try to get my friend Bethany Frankel.
grantcardoneAnd also Sarah Blakely. Sarah's amazing.
grantcardoneLove.
maileprmediaY'all know Sarah Blakely from Spanx.
grantcardone100 percent, 100%.
nelsonepegaYeah, that's awesome. Those are great names.
grantcardoneAnd I'm seeing someone.
nelsonepegaMaybe I'll get George here to tell us about what it was like back in the 50s rolling around with John Wayne and.
grantcardoneOhh.
nelsonepegaFreaking Bogart, these guys.
grantcardoneThat's crazy, man. It seems like we're about to have a crazy Twitter ride with Grant Cardone man.
nelsonepegaDude, don't be. Don't be bitter. Get on Twitter.
grantcardoneHey.
davidtejerasHey, we rocking man.
nelsonepegaOK.
grantcardoneBut shout out to grant.
nelsonepegaAnd that Magic Johnson interview was really good. That we did, too. Like, man, there's so now that I think about it.
davidtejerasSports.
christosttrWhat was that, David?
grantcardoneYeah, well, I mean, how many speak sports? The Magic Johnson interview. But see that somebody just said it was sports. But he didn't really even talk about sports. He talked about business. That was one of the.
davidtejerasYeah.
grantcardoneNo, I was saying bring people on that do sports too, because that ties in with the health systems.
christosttrOh yeah, that was one of the greatest interviews I heard. Remember that Nelson?
davidtejerasThat was crazy. That was insane.
nelsonepegaYeah, that's awesome. Well, you guys gave me a bunch of good names. Y'all ready for this interview.
grantcardoneLet's rock out.
nelsonepegaWoo Hoo.
maileprmediaOh, you want you, you, you, you, you guys want a few more minutes to talk bullshit?
grantcardoneOK.
grantcardoneAnd let's try. I think the people are ready to rock out. We're ready to rock out. Let's go.
nelsonepegaYeah. OK. OK. OK. Let's, I want to be sure my audio is good. OK, let's set this up, Johnny. OK, put everybody on mute, guys. Alright, there's gonna be about. I'm gonna try to keep this under 40 minutes, alright.
grantcardoneYeah, all right.
grantcardoneAppreciate you doing this, Percy. Yes, Sir. Yeah, I really do. And and I've wanted to kind of tap into your entrepreneur mindset for a long time. Love how you've transitioned. Yes. And the courage that it takes to, you know, to leave something and and create something new.
grantcardoneYeah, now it's all about growth, man.
grantcardoneDon't be afraid to change. Don't be afraid to get better. And I feel like God continue blessing me. And I've been successful all these years because not being afraid to think outside the box, not being afraid to to elevate. And I think a lot of people are afraid to elevate. They don't want to grow up, they don't want to change. They get stuck in their ways. And I've always been good at just, you know what, let's figure out how to get better. So I think that's that's been the key to my success.
grantcardoneIt's been my strength. Just continue growing up and getting better and keep educating myself. So I think the most important thing where people don't realize success come with education.
grantcardoneThe Bible say pray for wisdom, not for money. A lot of people pray for money. Like I've never done that. I always say, you know, if I educate myself, I can get better, I can grow as a person and I could feed my family.
grantcardoneAnd now can feed other families and help you know more families besides my own. So it's it's a blessing. So Percy so when you're praying for for that. When you're praying for wisdom right then then when the prayers finish, what are you looking for? Are you looking for a person or are you looking for a book or you're looking for a network? What what is exactly are you like expecting to get as a result of that prayer? Well you know what I'm I'm not expecting nothing. I'm I'm I'm expecting to put t
grantcardoneJust just just praying for that wisdom and knowledge and understanding information and knowledge is so important. It's almost like a athlete, athlete, training, prepare I think for an entrepreneur or somebody that that want to make it outside of that you have to use your minds. While other people you know they might make their money using their muscle but but using your mind I tell people all the time product outweighs talent like so when when you think different you think outside the box.
grantcardoneYou're using your mind, then you could have something forever and you could pass down and say, you know what? I realized it's all about having integrity. So I realized success is temporary, we can't take it with us. And it's all about doing what's right, and they say it's.
grantcardoneIt's the hardest thing for a rich man to get into heaven than anything because the lack of integrity, lack of doing what's right. So you could have say it's impossible, right, not impossible. So that's that's the great thing and that's why I'm saying about what you leave here, the implant that you leave on this earth. And I think that's what The thing is with me is like, I'm more.
grantcardoneFocus on that. Like I I don't make money for for me. I make money to help others. I feel like my.
grantcardoneMy my most important job is to be a servant and and that's what I'm hearing. I'm I'm I'm here to be successful to be able to help others. So I think that's the that's the point that keeps me going and motivate me and fight that field to where I'm ready to go. I get up every morning like running like an athlete like I got to go I got I got to get ready I got I got to get ready for the big show the big gig the big game and and and in life in general because life going to knock you down so many tim
grantcardoneIt is so important to me in my journey because when you have those dark days or things don't go the way you want it to go, you know, you get back up knowing that the failures and and and the pain and the struggle. You know, because I come from property, I didn't. I didn't come from a wealthy family and nothing. I had to struggle. I had to get out there and work for mine. So those blessings every day is a blessing for me. Life in general is a blessing. So I get up with that type of attitude. So I
grantcardoneMe praying, having something that's a higher power that I believe in, it helps me get up with that, with that righteous attitude I tell people all the time. My mentality is the line mentality. I think like a lion, like, you know, I mean a metaphor is the king of the jungle, but it's like that line is not the biggest animal.
grantcardoneOn the planet. But when he look at all the other animals, he look at it as food. And so that's why he don't fear nothing. He has that mentality to where it could be a big old elephant afraid of the line because he thinks that he knows. In his mind he's already programmed that he's fooled in in the in the in the line. Like the elephant might be big but that's just a big plate of food. Or the zebra might be taller and I mean the giraffe might get taller.
grantcardoneAnd and and so when you see that, you rap. He, he don't see that giraffe, but you see that giraffe as food. And for me, I've been this person. Is that the way you see money? You don't, you don't see money as something to use to buy stuff. You see it as a as a tool, something to kill.
grantcardoneThat's all. I see it as as a tool and.
grantcardoneI want people to realize that.
grantcardoneThe way you look at money, you don't look at money to use people because you know you use money. I love people and use money. So it's the difference, I think, and that's why my blessings.
grantcardoneKeep coming growing up in private and growing up in in the projects in New Orleans and and and not having anything but like I said my grandparents gave me an education so some people say well I don't live with my dad or my mom I grew up with my grandparents and I was thankful for the education. So that's why I said I keep going back to this having success and having money and all start with the education that don't matter whether black, black, white, Asian, Latino or it don't matter it's like.
grantcardoneWhat are you investing in? Are you investing in getting better? You investing in your education? Because anybody can get money. But to hold on the money you have to medicate yourself and prepare. It's it's a process. I tell people all the time. Trust the process. What, what, what? Whatever you get blessed with on a small level. I feel like, God, look at that. Say, OK, well, I'm gonna bless her doing it. If I'm going to bless you with something small, I want to see what you do with this this smal
grantcardoneYeah. So magine when you get a lot of money what it's going to do and and and you might not get it because if you can't trust you with a little what why should he trust you with a lot. So let me ask you so when when you're making the transition from the the music world to what you're doing today and and I'm not saying you're leaving that world completely but how difficult was that transition and then when you make that transition, Percy what how are you thinking about marketing? How important is
grantcardoneAnd your purpose, how important is the marketing game? Well for me the transition was easy because it's no different thinking about I'm in the music business and I'm I'm I'm understanding marketing and distribution at the same time. And every business that I'm into is all about marketing and distribution. So that's why I say product outweighs talent. So you got product like so these, these are my chips, the puffs, the soldier snacks.
grantcardoneI got to see you some soldiers snags it represent my grandfather Claude Miller he he fought in the war for our country and every time you purchase a soldier snack that's why I say the more we make the more we give helping we helping falling soldiers that that are our heroes that lost their lives we want to help their kids and their families so every time you purchase a product you with that's what you're doing is going back to helping these fallen heroes families.
grantcardoneSo those type of things are important for me that I'm able to do this. I, I, I tell you at the same time, I could only be an active leader, entertainer for so long. But this is, this is building generational wealth. I mean, as a kid growing up in a project, I grew up eating cereal. I grew up, so now I have my own cereal, the Master Crunch. So I'm thinking to myself, if Kellogg's could be a big company and what they've done with product, how come Percy Miller can't build a big brand?
grantcardoneMy, all I had when I was a kid, I had Captain Crunch and you got, I'm saying now you got Master Crunch. You came on top. I gotta have some of that master Crunch. And then you know, we businessman, we own the road energy drink. That's the King Kong.
grantcardoneLet me see it, turn it, turn it just a little bit so I can see the front of it. Oh, yeah, nice.
grantcardoneSo that's the energy drink. And then you know, another thing as a kid, so I I started creating business with stuff that I grew up eating as. So just just the the noodles. So I ate a lot of noodles as a kid. So I created my own brand. Tell people what it says at the top, the little, the little motto at the top. OK you see what the motto says. There's no limit to success. There's no limit to your success. And and I think like we got to think outside the box.
grantcardoneAnd always I say I create a business, not on money. I created on love and passion, so deep things that I grew up on and that I grew up as a kid eating. So I said, you know what? I'm going to create these brands. So when I'm doing this and I'm out there selling this, I'm passing it about it because I love it, because I grew up on it. And I know that so many families of feed naked families off of this. And I'm also able to give back to help educate the next generation. So it's all about building e
grantcardoneOhh, the transition was easy for me because it's all about marketing and distribution and that's what people in any business is marketing and distribution. And I I just think that a lot of people don't understand that. But once you understand that we giving you all that free game and any business is built on marketing and distribution. Personally if you were you, it sounds to me like like God is the central focus of your life and your and your reason even for being successful like.
grantcardoneAnd my right to say that you're.
grantcardoneYou're driving. You're driving. I'm not successful to validate God. God's blessings on you. Yeah, because I realized that I grew up in private, and I know without going, I wouldn't be where I met. So my first thing was to be successful. It was all about me making it out.
grantcardoneAnd then, you know, you get to that phase of life and you, you say, you know, what if I did that?
grantcardoneNot even understanding. Because I to be honest with you, when I when I first came up, I didn't understand what tithing was. So I didn't tie it. And then when I start realizing, you know what time it is and I start reading the Bible and I start saying imagine this next go around with my business. I created millions. Now it's time to create billions. And doing that with God, I could feed more people. I can help more people. Now I tell people how we measure success is about what you do with what yo
grantcardoneAnd I realize now that my blessings coming from being able to help more people and to feed more families. And so now where I'm at now with my level of success, taking it to that next level because I tell people all the time. So that's why I talk about failures. So everybody that's successful, they made it, they lost it, they figured it out, got back up. So you got to get back up on that horse and and so you know, everybody thinks they could ride that horse and they going to stay on that.
grantcardoneBecause that that's not reality. You arrived that horse if you never had $1,000,000, once you get $1,000,000 you gonna lose that. And you want to figure something else out. If you educate yourself and you're smart enough to say, you know what, I made it that one time. Now let me figure out how to go back and get it again and how to hold on to it. And so that's where the education part comes from and that's where the blessings come from. And that's why I put God first. As I said, if I made $1,000
grantcardoneThose millions turned into hundreds of 1,000,000 and it grew and grew and that's that's what I mean by yeah. Being able to know that it's a higher power and doing the right thing. Like I said when I start tithing 10% of my money I started making more money and I was afraid to do that. At first I was like Nah, I'm not about to give 10% of my money to the church and and and and again when I when I start realizing that it's not about who the pastor or the preacher because those are humans.
grantcardoneThat when I when I start doing my part I started being fruitful it being being being even more fruitful. So it it's a blessing you think do you think Percy that also started cracking that that poverty mindset the scarcity mindset that that I think you and I both grew up in coming up from Louisiana where where that scarcity mentality is so inherent in in the civil the society there.
grantcardoneHaving part of the tithing to giving because it it taught you how to.
grantcardoneBe faithful. Uh-huh. It also taught you discipline. It taught me. At least that's what it taught me. Taught me how to be faithful. It taught me discipline. It taught me consistency. These everything's in a business. Consistency, consistency. You know, people say well.
grantcardoneWhy are you so successful? I'm successful because consistency. If you look at McDonald's and all these companies, they're not selling burgers, they're selling consistency and that's what you are buying. And so at the end of the day, you thinking like, why do I go there? I go there for the consistency. And so anything that I put, if I want to multiply, it has to be consistency. And so the same thing with tide and doing the right thing, doing the right thing. When nobody's looking, you're going to
grantcardoneAnd that's why I talk about integrity, doing the right thing when nobody's looking. So you have the police yourself. And I think when I start realizing how good God is and putting them first, it's just because he wants us to be successful. He want us to have nice things. And I think my fake helped take my business to another level, knowing because with having faith, you're going to do the right thing.
grantcardoneAnd in the growth, it is definitely gonna grow. You plant those seeds and.
grantcardoneNot worrying about failure cause I don't worry about failure. I feel like if I do the right thing every day I'm learning something from every mistake I make ohh and it is a blessing man. It's definitely a blessing and and it's about staying focused and the example you have set for so many people and including myself has been a great blessing for me. If you were you're coming you're let's say let's pretend that you're on the come up today. How important would you?
grantcardoneMake, uh, collaborating with other people that are more successful with you. I mean, it's it's so important. I mean.
grantcardoneYou have to be able to celebrate other people and look at other people success, I tell people all the time.
grantcardoneI don't wanna just run with people no more. I want people to push. So I'm around people that's going to push me like me and you having this conversation. We we pushing each other like it's like I don't want to be around people. That's just going to run with me. I tell people all the time, you know, you either.
grantcardoneWalk with the pigeons or fly like the Eagles.
grantcardoneAnd so the Eagles they fly high.
grantcardoneAnd and I think having people that's going to push you, having people that are more successful than you, having people that are smarter than you, like you don't want to be the smartest person in the room. Like I'm, I have no ego when it comes to I I hire the smarter people. So I go out and look for experts and put them on my team and pay them for their work. And I think a lot of people don't understand that part. You got to pay for what you want. You want a successful business. You want successf
grantcardoneBig value. And I think that's what's keeping my business and my brands going because I look for people that know more than me and then I'm going to pay them their value because that's going to create my company and make it even bigger and grow my company and grow my business. It's all about elevating what you have. If if you want to you want to have a bigger business then you got to hire more employees, you got to hire smarter people. So you got to keep elevating and and and that's my life is ab
grantcardoneConstantly growing and looking for people. That's going to push me. I'm tired of being around people. That's going to run with me. Yeah, push me. I want to be around people that that's just so you, you, you would suggest that people like you grew up in the projects. I grew up in the lower middle class, single mother. I had to leave my neighborhood, literally had to get out of it. I had to force myself into a new environment where I was uncomfortable just to get any new information. Is that is th
grantcardoneApple is the most important thing. Sometimes you have to lead environment where you have to be able to see even clearer to know like or even get out to see something else. You know? Basketball did that for me. It took me on the road. I was able to see.
grantcardoneOther families that were successful and people that was successful and it drove me to want to be successful. It drove me to want to do the right thing. And I think seeing other stuff, seeing other environments it'll it'll, it'll, it'll put something in your mind because you know we love Louisiana. We from Louisiana, but at the same time we had to go out and see something else to be able to bring more business back to Louisiana and be able to help more families in Louisiana. We had to go somewher
grantcardoneApplaud that you know being uncomfortable, leaving your family, not being around the people that you know cause you. I tell people all the time, everybody has 24 hours and if you comfortable and you're doing the same thing, you're sitting on the counter smoking, drinking, partying all day. You are not going to be successful if you if you if you change that mentality. I'm not saying that you can't break those bad habits. I'm saying you have to spend your time wisely and when you start spending yo
grantcardoneAnd and you'll start getting better and you'll stop your cause. Think about it when you when you live in a negative life and you speak in negativity and then you end up.
grantcardoneBeing that negative person, that's just putting that negative energy out there and and now you're so negative to what? Nobody don't like you.
grantcardoneYou hating on other people and and and and it shows. It shows character in input. But if you break that and you're doing the right thing. I tell my kids it's almost like getting a a A on the chest. When you prepare for that test, you get that a you so happy. You so happy because you was prepared and you're not mad at nobody else. If somebody else got a you happy for them. But when you're hurting and you were in a bad situation, then all you're doing is bringing negative energy. You're complainin
grantcardoneAnd then you, you, you, you using all these you know different things to to try to ease that pain. I tell you all the time. Even when you look at addictions and alcohol abuse and stuff like that, people are trying to get rid of some type of pain. Don't like those are still going to beat out tomorrow. So you imagine if you took that 24 hours and did something positive with it and constantly keep growing. I mean I I create so many business in my hard times because it made me work more.
grantcardoneLike instead of getting down on myself, I'm like, know what? Let me create something for the future. Maybe, maybe I'm not where I want to be at today, but tomorrow, next week, next year, I'm going to be in a better place because I'm planting them seeds and.
grantcardoneI think that I think that the difference is most people want to be mushrooms. Mushrooms grow up overnight.
grantcardoneI want to be that oak tree. It it takes a long time to to to plant that tree. You might not see it. You can't see the vision. But you're about to have a big old tree that's going to be hard to knock down. And I don't want, I don't want to be that much more you know, because mushrooms are everywhere and what look what they grow out of. Yes. Hey let me ask you what would the term 10X mean to you, Percy?
grantcardoneWell, I think 10X is is to me.
grantcardoneThinking outside the box.
grantcardoneThinking be that's what that's what I that's what I that's what I think about when I think about tennis, I think about no limit.
grantcardoneYou know, I'm, I'm, I'm. I'm just thinking big. Yeah.
grantcardoneWell, I wanna. I wanna check some stuff with you, man. I know you and I together could do some big stuff and and I look forward to that last comments about.
grantcardoneSomebody that grew up maybe in the same situation that you did? Yeah. What, what, what advice would you give that person with regards to money in parts of success, staying away from the corner, the street corners and and then collaborating with the right people?
grantcardoneTalking about I'm not talking about formal education, I'm talking about beyond. Yeah, I mean.
grantcardoneEverybody knows where I'm at now.
grantcardoneI wasn't always there, so.
grantcardoneYou have to.
grantcardoneHold yourself accountable. Anybody that's in a bad place that's trying to make it out, hold yourself account. Accountability is is so important because everybody blame everything on every everybody else. They blame it on their teacher, they blame it on their parents, they blame it on their coaches, they they blame it on their relatives, people not there for me, people not doing this for me. What about what you are doing for yourself? If you want to get out of bed environment, you have to break t
grantcardoneVersus data that has been placed on you. I had it placed on me, but I I said to myself, nobody's going to hold me accountable for.
grantcardoneMy family members, my friends, I don't care what they do. Whether they get in trouble, are they doing drugs or they're committing crimes. You are not going to hold me accountable for that. If I'm going to do the right thing, going to have to break a loose from them, I'm going to have to get from around them. So you, you are your worst enemy. Get out of your way. That's the advice I could tell you. Get out of your way. If you want to do right, if you want a great life, you got to go get it. Every
grantcardoneNo.
grantcardoneI lived in a project with 16 people with my grandparents, so I never had a bed. So I went to college. So stop making excuses. I want to hit a home run. You got at least swing at the ball. A lot of us sitting on a cone to doing nothing. Hanging around with our friends. I just told you earlier is what you do with your 24 hours if you part in drinking and chilling people that chilling never going to happen. People that thinking I tell people all the time we all want.
grantcardoneIdeal from being a billionaire. So this, this, this is the difference.
grantcardonePoor people, all they talk about is money.
grantcardoneRich people only talk about these things. Wealthy people, they talk about ideas and you don't need to have the money. They they have the idea and that idea is going to get you to everything else you want. So we, we, we create ideas, it's not about creating money. When when when ideas come to light, the money will come. That's why I say knowledge, wisdom.
grantcardoneIt's so important. Information technology is changing every day. Get off the cone.
grantcardoneGet out your feelings. Stop being scared because you went out of your feelings, right? You know you have to get out of your feelings. Get out of your way. Your anger only think about. It's not going to change nothing, so it is going to take you to change it. If you really want to be successful, you need to start now. Start thinking about it. Start planning. Have a plan of action. Write it down. What you believe in, your dreams, your goals. You know you got to have a vision.
grantcardoneIf you don't have a vision how you would expect to be successful, how do you make it out of private? So when I was living in a ghetto, living in private, my, my, my goals and visions was, I'm going to make it out of here. Like I'm not going to be here forever. This is temporary. So you got to look at it like put that temporary stick up on your dope. I'm not living in forever. I'm here temporary. You know, my real house is a mansion. And that's what I did that as a kid, like this is this is not m
grantcardoneThis is a temporary place that I'm living in in the ghetto, but I gotta mention waiting on and how did you make the mansion real to you when you when you were growing up like that? Because if you can't see it.
grantcardoneHow were you visualize? That's why I said having a plan, having a plan of action. So think about we get out in the middle of the streets and we fight for justice or we fight for injustice and we marched. And I'm saying OK well what's the what's the plan? You got to have a plan of action. So when you when you get out there and we get out there strong you have blacks, whites, Latinos, Asian. We all fight for what George Floyd been through. But at the end of the day we showed the unit that we stron
grantcardoneAction when it was over with to plan an action have to be economic empowerment. And so now with, with, with somebody that's living in Providence, your plan of action has to be making it out. How can I take care of my family and what I'm, what am I going to do, what am I investing in every day? So I always look at it like building, building a house and start with the foundation, building the little bricks and putting them on there, moving and moving and getting better and better. You got to get b
grantcardoneConsistency. What are you doing every day to build a house and get to your dreams? To get to your mansion? To be able to take your family out out of property? If you're doing nothing, then you're not going to get there. If you're doing something small, taking little small steps every day, then you'll get there. And then as you grow and get better and and and you, you're going to start seeing your visions and your dreams come to fruition. And at this thing you know I'm going to leave them with.
grantcardoneStop complaining.
grantcardoneWhen I stopped complaining and and I stopped worrying about what other people are doing and I started investing into my time and deal what I need to do, then guess what? I start realizing there's no limit to my dreams. There's no limit to my success. And that's what I call my company and I and and and when I got into the music business, I call myself master because I said I'm a master whatever I do. And it it all comes with education. It all comes with having faith. And that's why I say that to
grantcardoneThat you have to believe in something and you put your trust in faith in God. I feel like you're gonna get where you need to go and instead of putting your trust in faith in in the wrong people. And and my last thing is don't be afraid to cut people off. That's all you back.
grantcardoneYou gotta get away from the losers. You know, women don't hang with losers. Winners hang with when? How many people, how many people have you cut out in your life along the way, right? Family members are friends. I mean, I didn't cut hundreds of people off that I know that could have been with me, but they didn't deserve to go with me on this journey.
grantcardoneIf you to drag them along, would you have been able to meet the new people? No, I wouldn't be here. They wouldn't. They wouldn't wanna be with them. Yeah. So I I tell people all the time.
grantcardoneSome things last for a season when it's right. It lasts for a lifetime, but it is not right it it only lasts for a season. So that's the same thing with friends.
grantcardoneWell, let's me and you do something for a lifetime, man. I am so blessed to have you in my life and to hear your message. My family and my businesses want to help the marginalized, the left out. There's so many people in this country and this great country that that are being left behind. So, Percy, I look forward to this being the first of many things you and I could do together to reach into those communities. So St corners to make a difference. Yes, Sir. I'm all with that. Salute, my brother.
grantcardoneHey, guys. So thank you. Thank you for listening to that. Love to get your takeaways on that.
grantcardoneUmm.
grantcardoneMan, I I just sat here. I'm just writing notes down. I don't know how many pages you guys wrote down.
grantcardoneBut that was an interview with.
grantcardoneMaster P and you know what I heard out of that is?
grantcardoneWhat do you do with what you have?
grantcardoneNot, not what you have. So you know, be be consistent.
grantcardoneWhatever I put up one time, I wanna multiply.
grantcardoneDon't be afraid to grow up.
grantcardoneCelebrate other people's successes.
grantcardonePush every push each other. Quit running with people you know. Push people around you.
grantcardone10X means no limits. Poor people think about money. Rich people think about things. Wealthy people think about ideas. How many of you heard that one man? That was just like, got me.
grantcardone100%.
nelsonepegaSo good.
maileprmediaGet out of your feelings. Get out of your feelings, folks, he said. Man. Drop all this emotional stuff. I love that thing he said about wherever you're living right now is only temporary.
grantcardoneAnd then cut people off, cut them off, he said. He cut hundreds of people off. So now for me, what did you guys get out of that? What do you think about it?
grantcardoneAnd what are you gonna what are you gonna, what are you going to take away? And and how are you going to use it in your life to change your life?
grantcardone100% grant. I mean that was a hell of an interview, man. And I think the, the, the one thing that definitely resonated with me was, you know, just like you said don't be afraid to cut the dead weight from your life. You know, don't be afraid to cut people off, you know, so that that really hit it for me. And also him saying we're all one idea away from being billionaires.
nelsonepegaRight. And I mean hell of an interview grant.
nelsonepegaDude, dude, I forgot that one. I forgot he said that, you know?
grantcardoneHello.
grantcardoneHell of an interview man. Hell of an interview. But but let me get some people on stage to chime in and guys, for you guys in the audience that don't want to come on stage, just hit that chat feature at the bottom right corner and just type out what you learned from that interview with Master P with somebody on stage. Go ahead and meet your mic, it's popcorn style and jump into the conversation.
nelsonepegaNelson, it's migena.
migenanycAbsolutely awesome. What stood out for me was how humble he was in each and every sentence that he provided for us and like super warm energy and and I I love that. Like, his tone of voice was consistent throughout the interview and his emotions were intact. And I loved how he always went back to never forget where you come from. But it doesn't mean that you cannot change the future for everyone, not just for yourself. Thank you.
migenanycAnd you know that that was a man. I mean, he said he didn't have a bed till he got to college. I mean, growing up wasn't easy for that man.
nelsonepegaI I didn't know that part. I didn't know that part, Nelson.
grantcardoneRight. I mean, he said in the interview, he said he grew up with 16 people in his house and he didn't have a bed till he got into college. I mean, that's, that's rough. So to see a man go from that to where he currently sits today, I mean pretty similar to you as well. Gee, that's it's, it's just crazy listening and learning from individuals like that. But absolutely. Let's keep it going. I see Daddy G, Daddy G, what's going on, my brother, let's talk about it.
nelsonepegaHey, what's happening? Appreciate everybody here. Grant for having Master P Grant. Fucking amazing, man. What I took away from that and some really important to everybody. Where you're at today, you're not going to be there tomorrow or month from now. A couple months from now, a year from now, instead of taking some happy pills, better hit the ground working your ass off. So in that year that you're feeling better, you have something back to look at instead of a bottle to look at. You should alw
mrg_nodesCollaboration Master, P and Grant? That'd be amazing.
mrg_nodes10X no limit.
nelsonepegaThat'll be crazy right there. But absolutely, man. Appreciate you, brother Storm. What's what's going on, my man? Let's talk about it.
nelsonepegaNelson, you know, great to hear this. And you know, I, I was watching Master P on the come up, you know, in Houston. And it was really interesting at the very end when he said this. Because I think we all get in our feelings a lot, especially if we feel like something is wrong. And a lot of the folks who start complaining and don't realize what they're doing, they're actually talking themselves out, wasting time and probably wasting others as well. So you can usually tell a very successful perso
mattstormtxWorking cut the dead weight out of your life and trim the fat. You know this is a guy who is always willing to move forward, but sometimes you do need to look at the past but not sit in it, live in it, or dwell in it. And for him, dude, this was everything that sometimes we need to hear today. If you got one thing out of here, put it in the chat. Because moving forward, if you're here in these spaces and you can just take one thing, you've got 365 this time next year, hopefully.
mattstormtxThen you move forward. So that really helped me today. Nelson, thank you.
mattstormtxHello.
averyturnerjrAbsolutely, brother, absolutely. You know, and I, I wrote down a quote, you know, something that he said, and I was like, damn that that's pretty dope. That's hard. He said if you want to make a home run, you must at least swing the ball.
nelsonepegaIf you want to make a home run, you must at least swing the ball. Put that in the chat feature right now. Hit that bottom right. Hit that button at the bottom right corner.
nelsonepegaSwing the bat, man. Y'all y'all don't play baseball there in Nigeria. I swing the bat and I swing the ball.
grantcardoneI see. And that that easy man Grant.
nelsonepegaAnd if you wanna hit a home run, swing the back.
mattstormtxSomebody had to tell him.
coach_turbyWell bro, get off my ass. Alright, alright, let me go. Yeah, well that that's what he said though, and I wrote it down. But let me go to the next individual, man, these guys are busting my balls over here who would like to jump in on stage right now.
nelsonepegaCoach, go ahead.
nelsonepegaSo for me, I think one of the most important things I heard was that he, like this, is a man that came from living in the projects with 16 other people. And what he would tell himself during that time is that there's a mansion waiting for him, right? So you have to like what I took from that is that you have to have the level of belief in yourself and your vision and your purpose, that it makes you seem a little bit crazy to everybody else, right?
coach_turbyBut you have to have that type of faith in yourself and what you're working on and see the outcome before it ever happens and know that it's there waiting for you. So that right there just gave it, just gave me, you know, the the, the confirmation that whenever we set our minds to anything we can accomplish that plus more.
coach_turbyBut yeah, I just wanted to speak on that.
coach_turbyAbsolutely, my brother. Appreciate you, man. Appreciate you. I see we have IB on the stage. IB, you wanna jump in? I mean, what did you learn from that interview with Master Pete, Brother?
nelsonepegaSo First off, I would like to say you guys are both Frank Cardone and Master P You guys are an inspiration. I'm an immigrant, came here from Israel. And let me just tell you guys, the dreams they guys are currently living, the work they guys are currently doing is my, is my goals and is my really my vision as well. And I also wanted to share that in general. I wanted to speak a little bit with the grant Cardone and share that, you know, I just hopped in myself about three years ago into the mult
prophetofprofltNot really owning properties, but more so helping multifamily investors right now to grow their noise because they realized that, you know, a lot of people are buying, there's a lot of buys, buys, buys, but nobody is really buying, right. And what that what started happening, you know, people defaulting on their loans, they're not able to come up with the end of why that they thought they would have. So really the company really focuses on two things, growing the revenue, not just by, you know,
prophetofprofltHey brother, brother, brother. Can you do me a favor? Can we just keep it? Can we appreciate the real estate passion? You know how much I love it. But if we could keep the conversation on this topic right now.
grantcardoneI appreciate you.
grantcardoneOK, yeah, for sure. No problem 100%. So I mean, and of course, brother, of course. I now lost my train of thought.
prophetofprofltIt's all good, man. Well, we'll come back to you, man. You got to go.
nelsonepegaBut yeah, let me just tell you guys, you guys are both inspiration. You guys are both an inspiration. I know that Master P, you know, didn't have the the easiest upbringing. He spoke about several times how he, his mentality shapes his way, how we know he held himself accountable for all, all of his actions never mixed with the wrong crowd. And even if he did, you know, he put himself operation to the game. It's an inspiration to everybody that's currently listening. And I just want to say that
prophetofprofltWell.
grantcardoneHey, thank you so much for being here. And Nelson, I know you are absolutely the king of clubhouse, no giggles this time. But let's be really careful removing people from the stage because we're removing them from the space and they're blocked and they can't get back in. So let's be careful.
maileprmediaWho got removed?
nelsonepegaI didn't remove anybody.
grantcardoneI didn't remove anybody either.
nelsonepegaSo I think it's really easy on Twitter to accidentally click remove from space instead of remove from stage. So I'm getting DM if people are removed.
maileprmediaYeah, remove from speakers.
nelsonepegaExactly.
maileprmediaYeah, but, but, but, but how? How do you do that? I don't know how to do that. It says remove from speakers because when somebody's done speaking, I want to be able to bring other people in. So when I hit remove from speakers.
grantcardoneWell, there is no remove from stage.
grantcardoneYou don't see it removed from stage or remove from room.
maileprmediaNo, huh?
grantcardoneDo you see that, Nelson?
grantcardoneThere's removed from.
maileprmediaIt's two removes. It says remove, remove some speakers and remove the person.
nelsonepegaBlock and remove.
grantcardoneRight. So it was just like.
nelsonepegaReport and remove.
grantcardoneThere's speakers and then there's like so for best audio live, I clicked on it.
maileprmediaOh, remove, remove did we? Did somebody get removed?
grantcardoneI don't think so.
nelsonepegaThey did.
maileprmediaWell, who got removed?
grantcardoneOur friend, um, I don't know how to pronounce her name. Medina.
maileprmediaMagina ohh, yeah.
grantcardoneMccanna.
nelsonepegaMcKenna.
maileprmediaWe would. We wouldn't remove her. We love her.
grantcardoneNo, she's from clubhouse, man. We it's different.
nelsonepegaI know I was messaging whether I'm like it's a big mistake and also we're cycling the stage so everybody gets a chance to talk with Grant.
maileprmediaYeah, yeah, well, hey, blame the engineers over at Twitter. This probably should have quit their job the first week Elon came to town.
grantcardoneWell, they're long gone now, but the whole Twitter spaces team is gone, so he's got new ones.
maileprmediaNow, by absolutely.
nelsonepegaYeah, well, they should have been gone. By the way, I I think he did a great thing purging the damn place.
grantcardoneGod damn right about that.
nelsonepegaBased on what? Based on what? Masterpiece said. Like, just purge, bro. Like you guys. How many of you guys have a hard time?
grantcardoneDon't be afraid to let people go right.
maileprmediaHow many of you have a hard time getting rid of people in your lives?
grantcardoneI had the same conversation with Kevin Hart about he's like, hey, I said I I saw that that show you did Kevin, about you keep a tight crew and you got the same five or six guys rolling. I said I guarantee you you're going to have to get rid of three or four of those people in your career.
grantcardoneThey won't. They won't go with you the whole way. It's impossible. It's impossible to carry your whole team with you the whole way.
grantcardoneCause a lot of people they they they they they they get they get halfway and they were like good. I'll tell you guys the story. I had a guy roll with me when I was 30. I was 35 years old just starting the real estate game. Can you plug me in right now let's see if it sounds better trying to get this echo out of my phone. So this guy was he was he was 51 years old and had $51.00 to his name. I put him in the real estate game. I said look you find the you you manage the properties I'll find them a
grantcardoneAnd I'll give you 25% of the upside after I get paid 12% with these properties in the beginning I made millions of dollars on he ended up walking away with 12 million.
grantcardoneSo he goes from $51.00 to 12 million, literally created his net worth doing this. OK and and he didn't put any money at risk. And then one day nothing. You get a kick out of this, he goes out. I said what you doing man? He's like, I just closed in our property today. I said excuse me, he's like I just bought a property. I said well where is it man? I said well why? Why didn't you include me?
grantcardoneNow I was including him on deals. He went and bought his own deal now that he had money and didn't include me.
grantcardoneHmm. Hmm.
nelsonepegaOK, that was 4 1/2 billion dollars ago.
grantcardoneAnd.
nelsonepegaSo I didn't get upset about it, by the way. What, what what Percy said about hey man, don't get in your emotions. I didn't get upset. I didn't get angry.
grantcardoneWe ended the relationship and I kept moving on.
grantcardoneSo I want to make these rooms when you guys come in one, I want to make it about collaboration 2. I want to make it about a place where we can all network and do do increase our net worth amongst us. The third thing I want to learn, I want to learn from your stories, your mistakes and your successes. So please raise your hand if you want to come up, if you have something to contribute. I want this to be a really open, friendly, safe place for people to to to start working out. You know what it i
grantcardoneI love it, grant. I wanna drop really quick, everybody. We're cycling people's fast as we can. Grant wants to talk to as many people as they can. Make sure you tweet him a selfie and what you're up to right now using hashtag. What's up, grant? And every time we convene together, we can see who's here, what you're doing, we can network together. And so Grant can search that hashtag to your face. So make sure you use hashtag. What's up, grant?
maileprmediaAbsolutely, absolutely. I want to go to Donna. Let's, let's get some ladies in here. Donna, you wanna stage?
nelsonepegaYeah. Hi, Greg. Hi, Nelson. Thank you guys for putting this room together. Man, I am on fire. You can hear my voice. I'm sorry about that. I couldn't speak to while I overcome it. A getting a cold right now. But what he said about removing people, that was one of the biggest things for me in order to get to the next level, not knowing where to go and just dwelling on people.
donnamreid2Thinking that with them it will take me to the next. But it did not after I realized who should be in my corner, who on my tribe. That was what helped me to get where I am. And I can't say how much I'm on fire for this conversation. It was amazing. Thanks for putting this room together, guys.
donnamreid2Thank you.
grantcardoneSet out the Uncle G for that Grant Cardone. Guys, make sure you click the link up top right. I'm not sure which ones. Alright, hit the chat feature at the bottom right corner. That'll take you to the tweet that shows this space. And I want you to type something in there, type something in there and reference to what you've heard and what you've learned in this room. Today we need to cycle this space to the Twitter hallway. So everybody in this room, go ahead and do that right now and make sure y
nelsonepegaAnd you got the alerts on for his upcoming rooms here on spaces. Ladies and gentlemen, we're officially in Twitter and we're going absolutely crazy, so let's keep rocking and rolling.
nelsonepegaYeah and real quick, real quick, Nelson, we're we guys you know I do this annual conference every year. It's sold out for February in in Las Vegas. It's sold out on the live portion of it. The virtual still open. There's a there's a fee to go virtual but I'm working with Twitter right now to drop the three day event on Twitter spaces is a $10 million event that we do once a year. It is the best business conference in the world that that is.
grantcardoneYou know I said that, yeah, but Forbes agreed with it. Forbes magazine voted at the number One business conference in the world. So this year I'm. I'm working with Twitter to see if we can stream this thing on spaces.
grantcardoneSo I'll be updating you more on that as we get closer to the event, but any any of the comments that you can throw down there are using hashtag 10X. That's probably a little better than.
grantcardoneYeah.
maileprmediaOhh.
nelsonepegaThe, the other one that may least suggested cause I see those, they'll show up because I'm trying to get Elon's attention to run this. Literally the largest business conference ever held in the world, which could be 100 million people could come to this thing. It would be like, it would be like the Woodstock back in the 70s or 80s whenever they did that, but for entrepreneurs and business. And we're going to need this in 2023. OK. Keep the party going, guys. Thank you.
grantcardoneHey, real quick, any chance you would extend your price for that conference that you offered on clubhouse here on Twitter spaces?
maileprmediaSay that again.
grantcardoneWould you offer that special price you offered on clubhouse to your friends on Twitter spaces?
maileprmediaThe real estate summit.
nelsonepegaOh, you mean for the. Yeah, that's next week. Yeah, yeah, I'll do that later. I'll, I'll put that in later.
grantcardoneAlright.
maileprmediaAbsolutely, guys, absolutely. So I grant, are we going with the hashtag 10X growth con? Is that what we're going with?
nelsonepegaJust tax.
maileprmediaNo no. Just put the hashtag 10X. That way me and my team see it hashtag 10X.
grantcardoneBoom. Let's do it, guys. Put it in there right now. Hit that chat feature at the bottom right corner, put a hashtag 10X and let them know you're excited. Listen, the last growth con, Donald Trump, was live in the building. This growth card grant has a special, special crazy surprise. So guys, make sure you're putting that hashtag in there right now. Flood the Twitter hallways and put it in their bottom right corner. Hit that chat feature, hashtag 10X. Let's keep this thing rocking and rolling. M
nelsonepegaLet's talk about it.
nelsonepegaThank you, Nelson. I appreciate it. You know one thing that resonated with me with regards to Master P is the way he grew up and like I can I can relate to that because I grew up pretty poor myself and you kind of I guess you kind of have to learn yet you don't know how to explain. It's like you have to like live a life of hard work and knowing that you don't have everything. So when you do have something you're a little bit more appreciative of it and then it, it really just drives you to want
kaskadiendevilYou know a lot better than what you previously had. Uh another thing was this. So he mentioned cutting people off and this is a big one too with me as well. I've literally, I I don't know how many people I don't talk to anymore that I used to talk to over the last two years or so, rest of recent. But it's it's totally true. You know, if people are holding you back there's a leash on you, then you're not going to get anywhere. You know, you can't have the wrong people that are you know, just goin
kaskadiendevilSabotage your dreams or put a negative, I guess negative view on your on your growth. So yeah, just real inspiring. Grant, thank you so much for for inviting masterpieces. Awesome. I was a real big fan of them growing up and that's my take. I appreciate you guys.
kaskadiendevilThanks brother.
grantcardoneAbsolutely, ma'am. Michael, thank you. Shout out to Grant once again for that and let me see. Let's go to another lady. I see we have sky. Sky, are you on stage?
nelsonepegaHey, guy.
maileprmediaHey, guys. Yes, thank you so much. Hope you're doing. Hey Miley, you guys are doing such a great job and grant, welcome Master P's a legend and so are you. So I'm so happy that you're coming on board to Twitter and your you guys are going to kill it here. Education is definitely needed inspiration all of that. I I thought it was so amazing that he was talking about brand and how important that is and that he had the ability to look at a cereal box.
sk3ycomAnd look at different items and say, well, why can't there be a Master P brand and no limit brand? You know, usually people feel like they they need to already be a billionaire to create a brand. So I thought that was really amazing.
sk3ycomThanks guys.
sk3ycomAbsolutely, Scott Gray. You see what you've done in a chat that they're they're typing. Swing the back. They're clowning me in the chat.
nelsonepegaOh my God. Hilarious. But let's keep this rocking and rolling. Thank you, Scott. Thank you for coming up on stage. Who do we have next year? Who would like to go ahead and start speaking?
nelsonepegaLet's go.
nelsonepegaIf you don't mind, I'd like to speak.
thealainpaulAbsolutely, brother. Let's go.
nelsonepegaOK. My name is Elaine Paul. I'm in South Africa. And shout out to Grant Cardone. Thank you very much for all your help. Since 2014, I became, you know, pretty much way more successful than I, than I ever was. And right now this year, I'm even more successful. But there was that, that important part about cutting people off.
thealainpaulThis year I made the most money I ever made and then I cut this guy off. It was continued. I knew him for years since school actually and I cut him off and then since then I'm making about half of that every month so that that's a really important point. Another really quick point I wanted to tell the grant Cardone is that there is a way to contact Elon Musk. I have DM him how to do that and I believe it will.
thealainpaulWork.
thealainpaulOther than that, I just wanted to say I appreciate you all and that that, that, that point that the Master P about marketing, I thought that was very on point. You know, everything's about marketing. But there was a video that Grant Cardone did back in 2014 where he said, hey, you know, social media is not actually used enough. The problem with social media and marketing, people don't use it enough. So I I put that on steroids. I use it so much.
thealainpaulThat's how I make all my money.
thealainpaul7.
thealainpaulWell done, man. Reach out to me. If you know how to get the big man, let me know.
grantcardoneYeah, I didn't do on that on LinkedIn and on Twitter.
thealainpaulAbsolutely man. We appreciate you for that. Thank you. Let's, let's, let's, let's keep cycling the speakers, man who like to jump in now I know we have Louise Cologne, crypto, crypto. You want to jump in?
nelsonepegaAbsolutely.
nelsonepegaYeah, I'll jump in.
luiscolonHey, I'm here. I'm on a conference on the other line. I'm having some serious issue with my Internet here. I'm hanging on. If you wanna drop me down and bring some others back up, I'd love to come back up. But I do have specific questions or and a couple of comments for grant and the interview he did with Master P as well. But yeah, I can stay here. I can stay here on hold, or you can drop me down and I'll come back up. But I've got you in the background. I'm listening to you. I I do apologize f
cryptob513Yeah, I'll jump in.
luiscolonIt's all good, brother. It's all good. Not a problem, Mr Louise. Let's go.
nelsonepegaYeah, something but the hell.
swaggolu22Yeah, man, I want someone to come in on the moving dead weight. I had a family member in Belleville, $200,000 from me and Mike and one of my companies. So you got to.
luiscolonYou got to make sure you keep an eye on that and cut your losses quick.
luiscolonAbsolutely, brother. Absolutely.
nelsonepegaWhat's that? Family members? What's that family member's name? I want to stay away from them.
grantcardoneI can't, can't do that. We had some legal, legal stuff going on.
luiscolonWas he Nigerian?
nelsonepegaI got it. I gotta treat that. I gotta treat that like chlamydia.
grantcardoneYeah.
nelsonepegaYeah, he says. It was a drug problem. He was. He was addicted to pills, and that's what got me.
luiscolonYeah, yeah. What? What? Yeah, SBF. SBF already used that one.
grantcardoneYeah, this was, it took me, it took it took us about a year to recover from it. But I'll tell you what, we we we keep things, we got our accounting team on it now so that that would never get through.
luiscolonYou know, you know what I do? You know what I do to make sure that never happens to me? Because I've heard that story. I bet you I've heard it 50 times from people in my career. Somebody close to him stealing 200 or 2,000,000. I look at my, my financial accounts, my cash accounts. I look at them every single day.
grantcardoneEvery morning first thing I look at when I get to work is I get a sheet of paper put on my desk.
grantcardoneAnd that sounded terrible.
grantcardoneOh my God.
mattstormtxAdd the cycle that boy down, man.
nelsonepegaGod damn, I I might, I might, I might have got COVID from that one right there.
grantcardoneLord have mercy, that's Wi-Fi COVID.
nelsonepegaOhh boy.
mattstormtxYeah.
nelsonepegaThat's why Wi-Fi COVID that's.
grantcardoneThese are the moments on social audio you don't get on podcast though, so good.
maileprmediaIs that is that Wi-Fi COVID a real thing Fouch you probably believes in or not?
grantcardoneOhh.
grantcardoneThat's that new strain Grant. It's that new strain.
nelsonepegaYou get the phone.
maileprmediaYeah, so every morning. Every morning I get a sheet of paper shows me every one of my accounts. I compare it to the day before. So if anything goes, anything moves.
grantcardoneI see it.
grantcardoneYeah, it makes sense.
luiscolonYou might give you might give me for one day, but you're not going to give Me 2 days.
grantcardoneMakes sense?
luiscolonOhh, that's a.

grantcardoneBut it's a it's like it's a networking event on steroids for sure, and you'll learn more about real estate and how to take advantage of this distressed.
grantcardoneSituation that's being created because of the Fed.
grantcardone100% and and you know if you have a business and your business produces more income and it's and it costs less leverage to get it.
brandonmdawsonYou know, you can take that leverage you can create in your business and then buy more passive.
brandonmdawsonAssets and and that's what the reason I partnered with Grant, I was doing it in a very small way, but you know when you collaborate with the right people, you tend to multiply everything and move a lot faster. So. So I just appreciate the appreciate the call at Grant, thought I'd jump on and.
brandonmdawsonYeah, yeah. And Brandon, Brandon, Brandon was successful. Just so you guys know, he was successful before he met me. How long did it take you to grow your, your business to to this size the last time, Brandon.
grantcardoneYeah, that's the, the business I sold before meeting you. I started in no five basically and sold it in 16. So what does that 11 years and sold it for 77 times EBITDA, 150 million and it also used the same principles, but it took me by myself 11 years to do it with you. We've built a business that's twice as big in 36 months.
brandonmdawsonTime. Time is money. I think that's what they say. Time is money or something like that. So anyway, you guys follow Brandon, follow Brandon because he's going to be doing some big stuff with me in the future and you'll be hearing more about him.

And I'm sure both of y'all have had that experience as well. But what do you say when there's people you need to cut off that are like family members that are negative and just, you know, you really can't even tell them about your dreams and your goals and your aspirations because they want to knock you down?
moradfikiWell, I would tell them, hey man, I like. I would give a shot to explain it to him. Say hey, I can't.
grantcardone
