Speaker 1:Antennas fixing antennas, where you got to hit the top of the TV to make it stop scrolling Antennas, fixing antennas oh my God. But yeah, we definitely want to do a recap of this month and to make sure you guys retain the information. So we're going to go into our 10th episode for Season 2. It was about gambling, that's right, yep, and that was a real fun episode because, you know, we spoke about the good, the bad and the ugly.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we did, and you know we touched base as the the good is obviously winning, the bad is losing and unfortunately, the ugly was being an addicted uh gambling which is real serious, man.
Speaker 3:We gotta really reach out to our wealthy ends and make sure that they understand you know, you know if it is a problem, definitely you know. Let's make sure people that we know, or whether it's ourselves or somebody else get to get the help they need right right and even with the, even with winning, there's consequences. Right, all we spoke about, we got taxes, right we spoke spoke about consequences for all three scenarios good, bad and ugly.
Speaker 1:Taxes being for the good. You win, you still got to pay taxes. Uncle Sam going to want his chunk Listen. You win big. They automatically come and take his 60% off of that or if not more.
Speaker 3:Up two or more.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it could be more. The bad obviously is losing. Yeah, it could be more. Um, the bad obviously is losing. You losing the money, I mean, and we talked about not losing money you can't lose, you know not just losing money that you can afford to lose, losing money that you can't afford to lose. Exactly, exactly and obviously, the ugly being uh an addiction to it losing your wealth and using your financial stability of life, so you don't want to be in that situation when it comes to gambling.
Speaker 2:Not at all.
Speaker 1:So we wanted to make sure that we reiterate that about the good and the bad and ugly. I think it's very important, especially for our wealthians out there. It's not like we're coming in with a boat of money to to gamble right so just understanding the fundamentals of of what happens when you gamble hopefully makes you think twice, not to say that you can't gamble have fun yeah yeah, we definitely spoke about, you know, playing the lotto we just want to do it responsibly right right.
Speaker 1:There's all different type of gambling horse racing, sports betting, there's all different type and it's it's a form of fun. You might want to gamble instead of going to take a cruise, you know, say, because this is what you like to do you know it's like you don't like being on the cruise, but you got a couple of thousand, you want to gamble it and that's what you like to do.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and there's many ways to do that, but you have it to lose it, because if you don't have it to lose it, that's when it becomes that's when it becomes a problem. Yeah, so so we definitely made sure we we spoke about all those different things and how there's gambling on apps. There's, you know, there's all forms of gambling um stock going into stocks is a form of gambling, but it's a. It's a very low risk right in gambling very low risk.
Speaker 3:So, especially when you're utilizing stocks in the form of a financial instrument like iul's right Right, where we obviously talk about that, so wealthians go back and listen and how we can utilize those types of financial instruments to make sure that we benefit from the gain but that we minimize our loss Absolutely.
Speaker 1:Okay, absolutely. So what was the next thing we came up with? It was our next episode.
Speaker 3:I believe it was the environmental support we came up with. It was uh, our next episode was the environmental, uh, environmental support to get paid, right, hey, talk about it, talk about it. So that's gosh. This is actually my favorite element of of finance when it comes to establishing a foundation, mike, a foundation of the support system that we choose, we choose to be a part of, to put in place, for ourselves, to have the emotional backing okay, I mean, finance is a thing in so many elements of what we do and choosing our support system, the people we allow to be in our circumference, the people we allow to be in our proximity, the people we choose to allow to feed things into our mind and into our hearts about what it is we want to do in life it's the most. For me, it's the most important thing. You know what I mean. It's where we start life is is. It's the. It's the most. For me, it's the most important thing, Right, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3:It's where we start, it's the, and it's to have that conversation. Whether it's your spouse or your brother or your dad or your nephew auntie, don't really matter. It's making sure for me. For me, the most important element of this whole thing is the communication aspect. There you go, that you talked about. There you go. That you talked about.
Speaker 2:There you go.
Speaker 3:All right, it's making sure that people understand what it is you are a part of. You know what I mean. If you tell your girls, mike, I know you got twin girls. Yes, I do. If you go tell your girls, sweetie, daddy's not going to be around much in the next two months, right, they're not going to understand that. No, but if you say, if you go tell your girls, communicate to them, listen, daddy's going to work some extra hours over the next two months.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 3:And he's doing it because he wants to take you to Disneyland so we can go have fun, right, and go have a great time, because you've never been, maybe the kids never been to Disneyland, right, right, I know your kids, they've been to.
Speaker 1:Disneyland. Oh yeah, they've been to Disneyland, Trust me.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they're nine, they're grown, they're about to be 10, so they've been there.
Speaker 3:But this is not everybody's situation. Everybody has not been able to take their kids to SeaWorld and Disneyland and all over the country.
Speaker 1:Yeah, all that stuff.
Speaker 3:So I mean telling Ben. I had a conversation with them. You know Daddy's going to work some extra hours, but it's because we want to make sure that you can go get to see Mickey at Disneyland or whatever. And they've already been seeing it on TV, they're already watching Disney movies. They're already seeing the star go across the castle before the movie starts. At that point now it's like Daddy, why are you home early?
Speaker 1:Daddy, I thought you was working late. Are you working enough hours for us to buy this or buy that Are?
Speaker 3:you sure we're going to hit our goal.
Speaker 1:Daddy, and trust me, they're almost 10. They would definitely ask me that.
Speaker 3:So what's that communication aspect and I love that about the environmental support to get paid, because, at the end of the day, these, these are the people in our, these are the people in in our circle that we count on to not only hold, not only benefit from our hard work, but hold us accountable and that's what we were trying.
Speaker 1:We were pouncing on is the environment, making sure the environment is conducive to all these things that you need to do in order to get paid because, that's what it is at the end of the day, you know, whether we spoke about a partner, a family member, even friends, friends having friends that have those same rights.
Speaker 2:That's true.
Speaker 1:Hey, I like the. You had mentioned something about a lion and a sheep.
Speaker 3:Yeah, lions don't hunt with eagles.
Speaker 1:Lions definitely don't hunt with sheep, right right, yeah, that doesn't make sense.
Speaker 3:We are not looking for the same type of food Exactly. And I say that. I even said that I use the analogy to not even say that. It doesn't mean that anyone's above anybody, it doesn't mean that we're superior to anyone. It just means that we're not doing the same thing right, right.
Speaker 1:So it wouldn't be a good environment. It wouldn't be for you to get paid because you're not doing the same thing it wouldn't make sense, bro.
Speaker 3:We're just not doing the same thing, man, and we got to respect that, understand that and go in with the perspective of how is this gonna get done.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you know what I mean, right you know and by all means, if someone's not doing the same thing as us, encourage them to do what they are doing. Absolutely always put positive, always make positive deposits into the world or into people, because that's energy that's going to come back around, you know. But then when, when you see someone who is in alignment with the things that we are doing and where we're trying to go, let's understand how to recognize that and then have the conversation that's going to be able to. If you wish, if you choose because we choose our environment let's understand how to have that conversation to make sure that you're able to connect with these people, communicate with these people and then go, you know, go forward, move forward, move forward.
Speaker 3:Connect, communicate and move forward. There you go.
Speaker 1:I like it CCM.
Speaker 2:Here we go with the acronym. Hang the acronyms again.
Speaker 1:And we definitely want to touch base about business partners having a contract. You know it's an environment that if you're doing business to have a contract, so you both are tied to this contract you both have an obligation to the contract.
Speaker 1:So if that's the environment you need to be in to grow and also, we spoke about a mentor a mentor is just going to support and they've been there, been there, done that, yeah, a mentor is somebody who is already where you are going and knows the path, and they have the for with all and the decency to help you understand and communicate that it's okay.
Speaker 3:It is okay to follow them for a period of time.
Speaker 1:Exactly.
Speaker 3:Okay, fpt there's another acronym.
Speaker 2:It's for a period of time. Exactly, okay, fpt. There's another acronym.
Speaker 3:It's for a period of time. All right, I had that friend that I was talking to, you know, when I was a long episodes back, you know I talk about I was going through something and then I asked him I was like man, how do you deal like? Like how do, you do how do, you do this and he's's easy. I just tell myself this is life right now.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 3:And I didn't even catch it when he first told me. But he was saying this is life right now. Right, it's not permanent, it's not forever. It's for a period of time and I know that by doing this right now, I'm going to get to the next level and get to live my best life. In the next segment of what it is I'm doing, it's levels. It's levels to the game.
Speaker 1:It's levels to this Right. You know what I mean and that's a good segue into the other things we spoke about in the episode about speaking and showing your strategy.
Speaker 3:Right right.
Speaker 1:You know to your point. You know making sure the plan is there, giving the game plan, forecasting your future, especially financially, how things are going to look. They need to know. They need to know the people in your life need to know man Exactly.
Speaker 3:They need to know Whether it's your mom or your spouse, especially, Especially Because we talked about one of the most important decisions you could ever going to make in your life is who you marry. Right Like they need to. This needs to be communicated, and not once bro.
Speaker 1:All the time.
Speaker 3:Constantly, constantly Be okay with that, like this is the goal, right? No, it has not changed, it is the same. And if we need to, if we need to understand. The experiences that we went through in the last month are going to have us doing things differently. That's fine, but the goal is still what it is and and, and we also uh spoke about.
Speaker 1:If you don't have all of those resources.
Speaker 1:Yes, that's really really having a self-motivating concept or schedule charts, organization, calendaring, yeah, your health, oh gosh, your health, your health, making sure. So you're creating, you don't have all these other. You may not have family, you may not have a business partner, you may not have mentors, whatever, but maybe you're in a constant search of that, but you still want to make sure that environment that you created is going to help you get paid. So, exercising, you know, um, doing yoga we even said that eating, well, you know all those things.
Speaker 1:You, you're pretty much managing yourself, things, you, you're pretty much managing yourself. So you know, we got to make sure that we have to. Our environment that we put ourself in is going to help us grow and help us maintain a certain type of mindset to continue to do what we have to do, especially if we don't have anybody working with us or anybody helping us. So, you know, that's one of the things we spoke about and I wanted to make sure that I continue touching on that point, because there are a lot of people out there who are trying their best to make things happen on their own, and sometimes it's really hard, anton, to to you know, to do it on your own.
Speaker 3:It is, it is man and you know, like having that support system internally cause it all starts with you, right, it starts with you. So first and there's a there's a saying out there, and I learned this through a lot of leadership development in life Okay, first learn to lead ourselves, then we can learn to lead others and then eventually, maybe one day, if we want to, if we choose to, we can lead leaders.
Speaker 3:There, you go Okay, and that's just, that's. It's a, it's a, it's a process. Man, we gotta be okay with the process. Always All right, and I talk about this. There's awkward mechanical, and then the natural Okay. The awkward is when you first maybe maybe it's your first day on that sales job and you you got this script and you're trying to learn it and you're talking on the phone and you're literally reading over it and you can hardly get through it. And it's your goal. You're like I just want to get through the script for a change. I just want to get through the whole thing. You know you're going through it. It sounds awkward, right.
Speaker 2:You know what I mean, right.
Speaker 3:But then eventually you kind of know the words but but it still sounds like you don't trust yourself, Right? You don't, you haven't you have not got to the point where you trust yourself yet.
Speaker 2:Exactly so it sounds mechanical.
Speaker 3:So you're you're still looking at that script and it sounds like robotic. It's, it's, it's mechanical, right? Yes, this?
Speaker 2:this is Anton with you know what I'm saying, but you, but you. You know what I'm saying Because you haven't learned to trust yourself yet, right.
Speaker 3:But then then the switch happens Mm-hmm, and all of a sudden, you trust yourself with what you're going through. You trust yourself with this process. And you're confident and you put the script away. Right, you cancel the script, you click the X and it goes away. And now, now you're operating in who you are, you're operating in your gift right.
Speaker 3:You have no script in front of you, you know the words, you're confident in the words and you believe in who you are within that system or within that thing that you're doing, and all of a sudden, that's when it gets fun, that's right.
Speaker 1:That's why that environment that you created, you have to maintain.
Speaker 3:Yes, yes, absolutely, absolutely, Absolutely, so you can actually get to that process to where now you're in the natural, it's become part of you and now you get to have fun and play with it and just let it be, and people feel that, by the way. It don't matter if you're on the phone or you're, you're in, you're in front of a camera. People know when you're just like man, that guy's flowing right now and you're genuine, and you're genuine.
Speaker 3:Yeah, he mean, he means it. Uh, yeah, yeah, what you said might sound a little cheesy, but you mean it right.
Speaker 1:So so we're cool all right, that's cool, and then so moving on. Moving on to the uh, let's see what episode. This was episode number 12, and we spoke about coupons, rewards to personal profit man.
Speaker 3:Why was this like the funnest episode?
Speaker 1:I think we've ever done the funnest and I'm like you know it's.
Speaker 3:But mike, I'm serious, bro, because we were in the store man right and you can. You, literally before I could even type my number in. You're like Anton, I got the card.
Speaker 1:Yes, yes, I remember you giving that example where we went to the store and at the supermarket and I had my rewards card out ready to rock and roll. Like you know, are we getting this savings?
Speaker 3:And it was about a 30 savings it was bro, and it was so real man, and the story you told was so real because it it's what happened. Right, right, I was so happy I was skipping.
Speaker 1:Remember I was skipping. I was skipping to the car you know that sports star. You know that girl. I offered her to get her lunch and everything. I was just so happy he was really really joyful. That I put money back in my pocket.
Speaker 1:And that was the beauty of that episode there was a lot of things that we're doing daily, you know. Just remember, you work daily, you spend money daily. Why not save daily? Because if you're saving daily or you're getting those benefits daily, you're putting money back into your pocket, you're inflating your personal profit. Yeah, absolutely, and that's what you, you need to do. And I remember going over all these different uh um entities that we, that that you can get uh coupons or rewards for. We talked about supermarket, fast food places, drugstore.
Speaker 3:You know we spoke, remember the movie we went in on the movie movie was like a hundred dollars make sure you buy the large popcorn right. It's like you're not getting a refill. No, refill you know.
Speaker 1:So all those same thing with the sodas by the way, yeah same thing with the sodas and that's not all movie theaters, by the way really it's not not all movie theaters offer that. Oh, like I said, they're gangsta brother. The IMAX stands for I want to max out. I'm going to max out your pocket.
Speaker 2:That's what it stands for. Max out that credit card.
Speaker 1:And you know we spoke about the online shopping. I definitely want to reiterate that.
Speaker 1:If you're shopping online having extensions to find coupons when you're shopping with some websites where they have to actually store, the companies who have the actual website May not offer it on their website, but another company may offer a coupon with it. We spoke about um Amazon. Whenever you look at the product you're looking at, there's there's always a coupon or a discount that you, depending on the item you're getting, that you might be able to just check a box and then you'll get the savings. So you know those things you got to be mindful of as simple as checking a box, that's all.
Speaker 3:That's all you have to do, man. That could have been a t-shirt, bro, another t-shirt. Don't forget to check the box.
Speaker 1:Don't forget to check the box.
Speaker 3:With a t-shirt and it just got the square right there with the green check For savings.
Speaker 1:For savings, for savings, for savings, for savings. Don't forget to check the box for savings.
Speaker 3:That's what's up, Bro? I don't know about you, but I'll wear it. I'll rock that right now.
Speaker 1:Actually, that's a pretty cool t-shirt, I'll rock that right now you have the box and the checkmark. Don't forget to check the box for savings.
Speaker 2:Wow, I love it, man.
Speaker 1:Well it's definitely a conversational piece, isn't it?
Speaker 3:and look, man, if, even if they want to just say, don't forget to check the box it applies to all aspects of life.
Speaker 1:That's true, you know. I mean, did you work? Out today right, don't forget to check the box I love it, man. You know I and I want to touch the base again. You, you definitely spoke about the. Uh, we went a little bit unconventional with the savings with the IUL.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, it was an event. Let's call it extra credit.
Speaker 3:Right, right, right right, right you know being able to, you know, do things like, have an IUL, and this is assuming you've used some of the tactics and strategies that Finance Bros, our wealthians, have, we've taught, we've spoken about in the past, and they have things like an IUL that they can now leverage. It was properly structured, properly funded and given time to mature, and now it's the part where they're able to leverage that type of vehicle and, instead of going to get a 15% loan from the bank, they borrow it from themselves because they are their own bank at this point Get it for 3% instead of 15%.
Speaker 3:They go and get that same car and then, while they got that car, the principal in their account is still earning interest at 8, 10, 12, 15%, as if the money has never been removed from that account.
Speaker 1:Now, wealthians, what I want for you guys to understand with this concept and I'm going to try even simpler, you know me.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I know, mike, you're the master of simplification.
Speaker 1:I want you to understand about this scenario. We're talking about getting index universal life insurance. It is an insurance policy, but but think of it you go into the bank. I want to open up a savings account. Now there, I'm not saying there's all of them, but there's some insurance policies. All you have to do is call a person like mr anton left, which here, and he could set you up, find a company that works with you, and let me tell you, we're always very transparent. I'm not going to say it's the easiest thing in the world to do. Sometimes you might have to go to the doctor, depending on your medical condition and so on.
Speaker 3:Might be some health qualifications.
Speaker 1:Might be some qualification, might not. But imagine this You're setting up a bank account, you're setting up an IUL. There's still a process to each. Exactly, there's still a process. But look at the difference in the benefits. You set up the savings account. You're saving. You're saving, you're saving. Remember we're saying interest rate on a bank account. It's hardly anything these days, right?
Speaker 3:It's hardly. I mean right, right now, because interest rates are high, right? Yeah, you are getting a substantial savings, oh sorry, a benefit of interest, right? But that's not typical, right? It's not typical.
Speaker 1:But let's go over to the iul, say, remember, again, set up a bank. You walk to the bank. You get up you say I'm gonna go open a savings account to save my money right now. You get up you say, well, I'm gonna call an insurance um agent, mr anton lefwich, to to do an iul. Let's see. Okay. Now anton says, well, okay, maybe you're. You're one of the lucky ones, you don't need a health, you just need to sign this paper. Sign same thing. You're one of the lucky ones, you don't need a health, you just need to sign this paper. Same thing you're doing for a saving. But now, maybe two years, three years later, when it matures, you're ready to buy a brand new car. You have cash you can borrow against this insurance policy. Exactly, they allow you to borrow it at three percent, where you can pay it back anytime, but the principal is still growing ten percent. You can't do that with the savings account.
Speaker 3:You just paid yourself to go exactly yeah, and, by the way, the insurance company some insurance companies at least, if you're, if your agent don't know, I know right, they'll just they'll credit you back the interest that you borrowed the year the year after.
Speaker 1:So you just paid yourself twice so it's really something to think about. When you know you, we're, we're looking at ways to credit, you know this is what coupons and reward reward ourselves.
Speaker 3:We want to make money with the money that we've already made.
Speaker 1:Let's not give it all away. Thank you, and this particular process you know. Can you imagine paying 3% on a car purchase? That's phenomenal, man, bro. Because you can't get that anywhere else, and all they did is again simplifying it. Instead of going to the savings and opening a bank account, you call an insurance person and say hey, um, how does this iul thing work? And if they say all right, just start putting money in that, there you go, that's it and at the end of the day, it's just.
Speaker 3:It's a simple matter of making your money work harder for you. That's it, that's it, that's it because that's that's all it is, because you work hard for it right, you know and we know, we know our people do we? Do all day everybody does right.
Speaker 1:I mean so so work hard for you too all right, so now we're gonna break down.
Speaker 3:Those were the three episodes we have to break down already, yeah yeah, we have to break down already.
Speaker 1:Hey, time flies. So we what? We pick the literal of the month, because what we do is we look at the three episodes and then we'll pick the best affirmation or between the literal, mental.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, yeah, the best three of the month. Yeah, yeah, the best three of the month.
Speaker 1:So for the literal of the month of April, we are looking at episode 11, which was the environmental support to get paid, and the literal is take a good look at your environment and make a decision. Are you going to work with it or are you going to change it?
Speaker 3:Man Mike, that hit my spirit right there that that hit my spirit so it ain't even the spirit.
Speaker 1:So listen, if your environment is not conducive for you to work with it make a decision make a decision and change it, because the environment is what's going to help you grow, get paid and be better at. Whatever you're doing, whatever entrepreneurial thing you're starting or whatever work job you're at, you know simple things by, let's say, your partner having dinner ready or picking up dinner and stuff like that to allow you to work so the family could get a benefit at the end. You know it, it it speaks mounds so make sure your environment is good for you to work with.
Speaker 1:If not, change it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, change it, and by all means, if you can live with it, live with it I wouldn't suggest living with it because we're trying to make our wealth.
Speaker 1:So start thinking about changing it, and sometimes it might be drastic. I'm not going to tell you what it is, but you might. If you choose not to change it, then you're not going to grow. Your environment's going to always keep you down.
Speaker 1:If, if our wealth things are listening to this, they're probably looking to level up so yeah, so there you go, change right, change it for the better of course, and the mental of the month comes from, uh, episode 10, gambling is making a cautious decision to only gamble what you could afford to lose, man, man. And so you gotta be, you gotta have that mindset. Yeah, brother, you don't gamble what you can't lose man, I like that.
Speaker 3:Believe it or not, that's another t-shirt there you go, gamble what you can't lose, it's true that's short as sweet, I told you we averaging three shirts an episode I told you this I'm gonna keep saying it too, it too, all right, all right. You know you go out to hear me keep saying that. Because we averaging three Okay.
Speaker 2:I got you, I got you.
Speaker 3:And the spiritual, of course, it comes from episode 12, coupons and rewards as personal profit. The spiritual yeah, this makes sense, all right. The joy of saving money or rewards. This is a beer, right? Yeah, yeah, that's right, yeah yeah, the joy of saving money or rewards is a benefit to your bank account and is the best feeling in the world.
Speaker 1:Ain't that the?
Speaker 3:truth. If you tripped over $100, would you pick it up? Oh, absolutely, I feel pretty good about that and I would feel pretty good about that. That is so true. Oh, man, don't get me excited, brother. Right right, saving money is like tripping over a hump, right.
Speaker 1:And sometimes I remember saying in the last, god did that. Yeah, god did. Yeah, god did that because first, on the literal, spot, I wasn't planning on trying to save this money, had no idea, didn't bring no extra card with me, nothing. Mentally I was like, all right, I'm ready to pay this money and get the heck out of this store. But you tripped over 30%, right. And then you hit me with the lady saying oh, I got you with this coupon. Boom who did that.
Speaker 3:By the way. Are you sure you didn't do nothing special?
Speaker 1:I promise you.
Speaker 3:You didn't clean up the aisles.
Speaker 1:I didn't do nothing. You didn't straighten the t-shirts on the rack. All I did was ask Asked.
Speaker 3:That's all I did was ask I love it, man, I love it.
Speaker 1:Sometimes all you got to do is ask Yep, yep, All right, yeah, and we wanted to talk about the bonus episode we had to give it. Yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, the bonus episode was oh, so the bonus episode, which we just really love because it was the road to FBN and we talked about our personal stories.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:And it really resonated. It was just, it was a fun kind of deep dive.
Speaker 1:Right, right.
Speaker 3:You know the personal heart and ambition of Mike DePoe, right. Buford, Anton left with the third. So so the road to FBN. You know this T-shirt right here. I just loved it so much, you know, are we giving him this T-shirt?
