The Trump Antidote
Ready for a financial breakthrough regardless of who's in the White House? The Finance BROs are back with Season 2, delivering "The Trump Antidote" – not a political statement, but a powerful formula for personal financial sovereignty.
Anton and Michel don't just talk theory; they share the real-world strategies they've been implementing through their Breaking Curfew initiative at colleges like Chabot and SJSU, and their new FBN Kids Edition program teaching financial literacy to children. Their community work reveals a profound truth: when you pour into others financially, you strengthen your own financial muscles and convictions.
The heart of their message? You are the president of your own pocket. Budgeting isn't about deprivation – it's muscle-building that creates financial discipline over time. Start small, be consistent, and watch your financial strength grow. The wealthy aren't navigating the system through luck; they're leveraging knowledge of credit, business structures, and tax deductions that anyone can learn.
Most revolutionary is their approach to resources: "Use the system to beat the system." Government programs and grants aren't charity – they're strategic leverage designed to help you climb the economic ladder. Combined with the right mindset ("stop thinking I'm poor, start thinking I'm strategic"), these resources become powerful tools for building lasting wealth.
Throughout it all, maintain faith in your journey. Even when the system feels rigged, your grind isn't in vain. Stack knowledge, stack money, and be ready to strike when opportunity presents itself. This is more than financial advice – it's a complete paradigm shift that works regardless of political climate.
Ready to become financially bulletproof? Tune in, apply these strategies, and join the Wealthian community. Your financial independence awaits – “We'll see you at the bank”!! #SYATB

As far as the literal, the mental and spiritual format needed to be successful with your aspirations, I'm the one half of Finance Bros.
Speaker 4:Anton Lefwich, and this is Michael DePoe, the other half, the other half, and we are coming to you with Finance for the Unknown and we are honored to be here with you, our present and future wealthians. We're back everybody. Hey man, it's season.
Speaker 3:We at season two on TV Season two. We at season four on the podcast. There you go, there you go, and we streaming on multiple platforms now, there you go. So you gonna hear it just like you see it right.
Speaker 4:Mike, that's right. That's right. That's what we talking about. We gonna make it happen for you and this is what we're bringing to you guys. Season two, and we're starting it off with a banger. We're starting it off with a banger, mike, I was so excited to get this thing going.
Speaker 3:Man for this episode bro, because there's been so much going on, man yeah. You know, and we've been doing a lot in the off season too, right, right, you know what I mean To further the mission and get out here in the community and do some special things.
Speaker 3:So, yeah, should I give him the title mike, or you go ahead go ahead tell him what's the title, like I gotta say how enthused I was when you came to me with this title because I thought it was very relevant, whether you agree or disagree, whether you on board or off the train, this episode today, the Trump antidote, oh, that's right.
Speaker 4:Look, we're going to give him the antidote and the formula. Remember that the antidote and the formula, the Trump antidote, and the formula yes, yes, wealthy ends. There is an antidote for Trump, what you're dealing with today.
Speaker 3:And a formula, and a formula. Hey remember when.
Speaker 1:remember Lion king when he was like mufasa I feel like I just got that little chill when you say that you know what I'm saying, antidote formula.
Speaker 3:That's what's up, man, but mike, you know it's. Should we talk about kind of what we've been up to?
Speaker 4:Yeah, absolutely, let's break it down.
Speaker 3:Let's break it down so well, okay, so what was being close to my heart? You already know, mike has been the breaking curfew, yeah.
Speaker 3:You know, we, we set out on a mission to get in front of more colleges and be in the community where more you know, where more people who are kind of coming into the world of of well, not, I wouldn't even say the world of finance, I would just say more to where they're starting to get more a recollection of worldly, worldly views of their life, like where they're getting ready to go, and for us that, for for the most part, it happens to be college kids, you know. So we started this movement. We call it breaking curfew. Know, breaking curfew had the the freedom over fear aspect to it. What we're talking about?
Speaker 3:Breaking chains right, breaking generational curses, breaking all ways of thinking. We're bringing freedom over fear to all these colleges. And we're calling it breaking curfew because we kind of, we kind of we want to break the mold right. We, we want to break out of traditional ways of thinking. We want to, we want to expand our horizons, we want our young minds out there and, and even us, as we're learning from these bro, because, mike, we're in these colleges right now we're learning from these kids absolutely I mean, their minds are just so there.
Speaker 4:It's like boom, boom, boom, it's quick, it's fast and and just the, uh, the, the title breaking curfew man think about we're going against the grain, yeah because, you know, these kids, we're going into these colleges and we're going into these different, uh areas where that education is being is not being taught, it's being missed, and that's that's the whole point of breaking kerfing. Yeah, we're going against something, you know. So we're breaking something. Well, we're breaking some barriers and we're gonna teach these kids about finance. We're gonna teach these kids about money, because that's what's gonna save them, just like we're trying to save you guys, wealthy, and we're trying to save you, yeah yeah, man, we'll talk about.
Speaker 3:Talk about philanthropic movements.
Speaker 3:You where we're making deposits into the community, into the world, into other people. I mean, it has just as more of an impact, I think, on us, even almost feel selfish because as we're giving, we're just getting so much more back. Even if it's us, even if's you and this is, this is for the world right here if you're pouring into somebody and you're pouring in things that you truly believe are going to help them, you're saying out loud that's why they say words right life and death is in the tongue right, like the words that you speak. As you're saying these things, if you truly believe it, you're reiterating that thing out loud to yourself. So you're not only helping this person, but you're, you're you're, you're re-solidifying the belief in your own heart that this is something that moves you and you remember your why and why you started man and it's a reinforcement right big time.
Speaker 4:you're reinforcing what we all need to know. We're reinforcing finance is a part of our life. Finance is everything that we do. You can't really do anything these days without finance. You can't jump on a computer without electricity, and who's paying for the electricity Can't jump on for the Wi-Fi.
Speaker 2:Who's paying for the Wi-Fi?
Speaker 4:You know everything you do. You want something to eat. Somebody gotta go buy it. Who went to the supermarket and pay for everything we do? So why isn't it part of our education? And that's why you know, we definitely want to give a shout out to Chabot College. We were at Chabot College. We want to shout out Dr Gilmore. We want to shout out Jesprey. Thank you, jesprey. She's a liaison to the students.
Speaker 3:Mr Bren just priest, she's a liaison to the students.

So we want to make sure we shout out these people because they are helping us bring the message out. You know what?
Speaker 2:I'm saying Helping us make this happen.
Speaker 4:And we also did something, Anton we started a FBN Kids Edition.
Speaker 3:Man out of strictly need.
Speaker 4:Out of need Kids Edition, and when we say Kids Edition, you want your middle school, even the last year of elementary school kids. So we're talking about maybe fifth grade to eighth grade to ninth grade, and those are kids who are seven. Well, let's say about 10, from 10 to about 12, 13. Let's say about 10, from 10 to about 12, 13. So they can understand the value of money, to understand how it works. And we were given the honor and as we want to thank Christine Lewis at the playground in Castro Valley, california, who heard our message and say, hey, this would be great for these kids for summer camp and we're part of that, right very much wants the kids to to to be able to dive into this financial literacy and for them to get it and for it to be fun for them too and you know what.
Speaker 4:We had a great time doing it I mean, the kids were a little bit rowdy, but you know what they were, raising their hands and answering when we started teaching them about coupons about, about a credit? Oh my god they were.
Speaker 3:They don't let you know when you're doing a good job yeah yeah, yeah, they don't let you know. And then, when you're not doing a good job exactly, know that too, yeah, and then I have to tell you they were a little smarties too, they were yeah, you know uh, maybe your mom or dad would let you watch it.
Speaker 4:Yes, I'm saying that you know who. You were being the smarties up in there, but that's great. You know what? It was great to see those kids at that age have a fundamental understanding of what we were saying. They knew what money was. You know, we did everything we started from, from soup to nuts. You know we, we started with coins and dollars and and what the bills were, all the way up to how it works, how their parents get it, how they can get it to credit and so on and so forth. So it was. It was phenomenal and it's an ongoing program. With every person that we shout out we mentioned, they keep wanting us to come back so it's something ongoing, man.
Speaker 3:Glory to god. Brother too, man, and oh, I want to. I want to make sure I definitely don't want to forget trisha laconte uh the, the wonderful young lady that's doing our, our, our new graphics, our logos, all the new stuff you're getting ready to see on social media, from, you know, from our backdrops to anything on instagram or facebook. You know, tricia, very, very, very rare and unique talent awesome and guys, go look at our website, see the t-shirts, you see the uniform.
Speaker 1:Yeah, oh the website, oh the website, bro, did we, did we?
Speaker 4:tell them about that. The. The website is. Yeah, of course we told them Okay, okay, cool.
Speaker 3:They know the website. Go there, man. Go to the. Make sure you go to the website man, the website is phenomenal.
Speaker 4:The website it is, it is, it looks great. I still go in there and I just sometimes I'm in my office during the day.
Speaker 3:Mike, there you go. I just have it on repeat have it on repeat.
Speaker 4:I got like all these screens up three or four.
Speaker 3:You know, that's why we brothers from another mother, because I do the same thing in my office. So hey and hey, I want to. I want to shout out to my wife I just got married hey, hey, congratulations you know, what.
Speaker 4:I wasn't gonna bring it up, but if you put it up, I'm a I'm a, I'm a deaf, I'm proud man I feel, blessed bro, I got my best friend
Speaker 3:right, I got my best friend, and and not only just in in business but in life with my wife. You know what I'm saying, but I got you as, as my best friend, my mom, you know, in business and in life, man bro, I I never, ever knew somebody who would, who would drive five hours to come make sure my mom straight all day, bro. But but but you, you that, you that you, that person all day, you know saying so all day I'm just putting that out there, man.
Speaker 3:And this this goes with the trump antidote, this goes with the life antidote, this goes with the personal antidote. This goes with the life antidote. This goes with the personal antidote. This goes with everything that I think that we need to understand to move forward with conviction in life.
Speaker 4:These are the pieces and that's part of the ingredient that. Thank you, brother. That's part of the ingredient, is what we just told you, what we're doing. That's part of the the ingredient for the antidote, it's part of the formula. We doing what we need to do for ourselves. So let's do that first. Do what you need to for yourself first. Make yourself, do that first. Do what you need to for yourself first. Make yourself happy. Do things that you want to do. Do and make things that you're proud of first. Trump can't touch. He can't, can't touch, he can't touch.
Speaker 3:Hey, they might be able to have you pay some taxes, but they can't touch your heart.
Speaker 4:They can't touch your heart. They can't touch your heart. And if you're doing what you're doing for yourself, just like Anton and I are doing what's best for FBN, are doing what's best for the UPI community, that's an antidote, that's part of the ingredient that will give the antidote against Trump. I understand, brother, and that takes us right into the subject, right? Yeah, man.
Speaker 3:And brother, and and that, and that takes us right into the subject, right, yeah, man, and look, and y'all know we're not formal here, right, I'm going, we're going right off of our phones, our tablets. So this is this is real life, right here, this is real talk, right? So, look, um, you know, you know, might, like we were just saying, I'm sitting here, I'm thinking that one of the ingredients in the trump antidote is doing what we need to do for ourselves Exactly.
Speaker 3:Whether that's personal time, whether that's going for a walk whether that's, I don't know. Maybe some people out there meditate. I've seen some people doing what's that stuff in the park where they do the motions the chi or something like that.
Speaker 4:The chi, yes, you know what I'm saying. Yes, the chi.
Speaker 3:Whatever your vehicle is, for personal peace and helping yourself, just reset Right, because we go through a lot in this life and just everything that we do in our day, especially if you're an entrepreneur. Yeah, because I always say this, mike, entrepreneurship, it's a self-improvement program with a compensation package attached to it. Of course, you want me to say that again Go ahead With a compensation package attached to it.
Speaker 2:Of course you want me to say that again, go ahead.
Speaker 3:Entrepreneurship is a self-improvement program with a compensation package attached to it, because we'll never out earn our self-worth. That's right. So for every level we're elevating ourself, you can expect our income to follow.
Speaker 4:Yeah Well, whatever, whether you support trump or you oppose him, you know we're all trying to make sure that we do the best that we need to do for ourselves, you know. So, whatever president that's in office, we have to do what we need to do for our community Because, yes, right now it can be hard for our community, it's hard for the UPI community. You know what I'm saying. So you know we got to think about, okay, what are the things that we can do to help ourselves within this hard time of the Trump era right.
Speaker 3:Mm-hmm, hard time of the trump era right, and I'm thinking the first thing is uh, I believe is. Is budgeting right? Answer oh, absolutely so you are. And look, I want to. I want to say this because I really love this right here. I'm gonna actually read it word for word because I love all right, all right all right, the audience is waiting for you, brother, I know, I know so as far as budgeting, you know not and not just for bills, all right, maybe, maybe hustling to make a little bit of extra dough, you know.
Speaker 3:Or leveraging that extra money, you know comes to putting it into a product or a vehicle, right? So when we think about budgeting, we're talking that we always talked about. And go back. Please go back and listen to our season. You know our season one, two and three of the podcast. Season one of the podcast, that's right. You know our TV show.
Speaker 3:We talk about budgeting and again, we always reiterate this Budgeting has nothing to do with saving money. Ok, it has everything to do with building a muscle. You go to the gym, you work out. You can't lift 300 pounds right away. You got to be able to work your way up to that. So when we talk about budgeting, it's a exercise period, right, mike? Yep, so save a dollar, save 10, save 20, save 100, but start somewhere, figure out where your comfortable margin is and grow it from there. And then, once you get to a certain place, if you fall back, don't worry about it, start over.
Speaker 3:Sometimes we go to the gym and we work out for a month straight and all of a sudden, we're not there for two weeks or a year in some cases. For some people it's still there. The concept is there for us to access when we want to access it. Discipline ourselves is something that we choose. All right, just, you know you love someone. You choose love. You know what I mean. It's not a just thing. You fall in and out of. You choose it every single day, right? So understand that Budgeting is an exercise. It's a muscle that you build and once you get to build that muscle, you start getting access to opportunities.
Speaker 1:That's right.
Speaker 3:Right, and we talk about IULs, we talk about cash value insurance, we talk about tax-free retirement strategies, we talk about all this stuff on our podcast, but the bottom line is not to go into all that right now, just build the dang muscle and you want to hear something crazy.
Speaker 4:Guess who's doing the same thing and he doesn't have to. Who? Trump, trump, thank you. All right, we're giving you the formula here where you're saving and then you're going to transition that saving into stuff that Trump and his followers or his people or his circle that's using. So like I, said whether you hate the man, you love the man. Whatever the case is, something's gotta work. There's gotta be a formula where you can survive in this chaos period.
Speaker 3:Like it, don't like it, eat the chicken and throw away the bones. Okay, use what you Use, what you, what they say, use what you can use or use what you can use and just disregard the rest. Right, oh, news you can use. I got some news you can use. People say that yeah, all right.
Speaker 3:Digest the news that you can use and throw away the rest. There you go Right. Like you say like there's, there's some things in this is this is again we call it the Trump antidote people. But it's a concept yes, all right, it's it's it's. It's a method All right. There's people out there that are setting good examples and there's people out there that the things they do well, we can adopt those behaviors. The things that we don't agree with, we can push those behaviors to the side, period.
Speaker 4:There you go, and that segues great into this, anton. Use the system to beat the system.
Speaker 3:Michael, can you say that one more time, bro.
Speaker 4:Use the system to beat the system. I love you, man. Use what's available, like like grants, like financial programs. If you're in a situation where you have to get some of the financial programs that are still out there, there's still, there's grants out there that can help you in whatever situation. Yes, you're in a underprivileged income situation right now. Upi, you are, up, you're, you're the wealthy and you, you have the ability and the possibility to become wealthy and make money. That's the definition of wealthy ability and the possibility to become wealth, to have wealth, I should say, and to make money. But until that happens, this country provides a lot of resources. So use the system to beat the system. Let those resources help you and elevate you until you get to that point where you can say, all right, now I'm going to turn it on its head. Now I'm going to leverage everything that the system have for me to grow and be wealthy. So think about that, ladies and gentlemen. You need to use the system. Don't hide behind anything. It's there for a reason. You have nonprofits. You have a lot of nonprofits out there that, even if you're working, you're making money, they will help you. Again, you're just using this as leverage. It's not charity, it's just leverage.
Speaker 4:Our system is designed, our government is designed. You chose to live in america, ladies and gentlemen. This is where you chose the land of the free. You chose so. So we have it. Don't don't be too snooty, don't don't feel like, oh, I don't need this type, it's not charity. It's not charity, it's the system that. That's the way it is. The system is designed for you to fill, but it's also designed to build you up. So why not not use it? You feel me, so that's what we got to think about. That's the type of mindset we have to have.
Speaker 3:Right, anton, absolutely, mike. And look, I'm going to go word for word on this one more time. I wasn't so much word for word a second ago, but I'm definitely going to be word for word on this one. All right, your mindset has to be right. Stop thinking I'm poor and start thinking I'm strategic.
Speaker 2:There, you go.
Speaker 3:The brain believes what you repeatedly think about yourself. I'm going to say us the brain, the brain, our brain, believes what we repeatedly think about ourselves. Okay, so we need to start practicing possibility thinking. Oh man, that's a serious. Mike bro, right, and okay, so we got, we got, use the system to beat the system. Yep, that's a midday t-shirt midway t-shirt.
Speaker 4:That's an honorable t-shirt right there.
Speaker 3:Honorable mention t-shirt all right we need to start start thinking possible. It's possibility, thinking right, all right.
Speaker 3:All right Right, right Start practicing, start practicing possibility thinking, love that man, I love that this is. And look bro, look Mike. You know what? If we sound like a broken record, I'm not sorry. Yeah, because if you hear the message every day, every Sunday from the from, from the pastor, or Sunday from the pastor, or you know wherever you get your message from, for me it's maybe I may be in a church house, I'm hearing it from the pastor, but then all of a sudden I hear it from the assistant pastor and he just happens to put it to me a different way, and you know we talk about being parent deaf sometimes.
Speaker 3:Right, that's true. Your kids come home from school, daddy. I look man, oh, that's great, that's great honey. Come home from school, daddy, I look man, oh, that's great, that's great honey. I told you that 20 times, but that's cool.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 3:You got it from the, you know, the campus security guard. Right, right, right. Sometimes a different voice, a different approach, whatever. So eventually this is we're just look, the sauce is the same coming out the kitchen. All right, it may be flipped around a little bit the way we say it, but the message is consistent man, Always, Always.
Speaker 4:And also Anton, using financial literacy as a self-defense. Learn the rules of the game Like. This is all a game you know, but we have to learn how to play the game. Trump didn't dodge taxes by luck, right man, please say that again. Right, say that again trump did not tap, did not dodge taxes. By luck, are you sure?
Speaker 3:it wasn't luck mike. No, I'm pretty, I'm pretty darn. Look, I'm gonna.
Speaker 4:I'm gonna say it in their language I'm pretty darn hootin' Look.
Speaker 2:I'm going to say it in their language. I'm pretty darn hootin' tootin' that it didn't dodge my. Look, he knew the code.
Speaker 4:He knew the code. And what is it for us to find out the code? Get educated on credit, business structure and tax deductions. If you get educated on those things, even at your level, even at the UPI level that you're at right now, you know whether you're making 20,000 a year, up to 185,000 a year. Based on it, it's probably the senses are different, coming up as far as what it's considered under privilege and we know we say that for the other word that we don't use that finance pros network but the underprivileged income is considered anywhere from zero to 10,000, all the way up to 185,000. 185,000 is considered poor, unbelievable, but that's our country, yeah.
Speaker 4:But guess what I bet you. That person who's making 185 000 looks like a trump and look, man you know why? Because they're using all of their education, financial education to keep most of that money and I want to.
Speaker 3:I'm going into what I'm saying by piggybacking off that. You know why they're able to do that? Because they believe, there you go. Because they believe all of this doesn't work. If you don't believe you're worthy of wealth, all right, you're not less than OK, you're not inferior, you're not improper, you're not late. Ok, you just up. To now.
Speaker 3:Maybe you've been uninformed, maybe we have been uninformed, but once we have the information, mike, once we have the information, then we can operate with a sense of, of, of, of, of strategy, right Of, consistency, cause, cause, once you, you, once you got it and you, you know it's working, you're, you're gonna keep doing it, because the motivation, the, the, the, the momentum comes from the success. That's right. You, you're like, oh, wow, man, I just paid off a credit card. Okay, that felt, that felt pretty good. There you go, let me, let me keep going.
Speaker 3:Okay, all right, cool, man, my, my credit card just broke, broke, 700, okay, okay, okay, man, man, I just got that 100,000 on credit, okay, okay, now we talking and get that momentum, because momentum is magic, right, but guess what? It's also very jealous and if we don't pay attention to it, it'll go find somebody else. There you go. So we got to believe man. First of all, we got to believe. Believe that the next step is possible, believe that getting out of getting into whatever vehicle or circle of network that we want to get into is possible, getting out of whatever situation we're trying to find ourselves out of is possible. We have to believe that it is possible, period.
Speaker 1:There you go.
Speaker 4:Yeah, and that's faith. Right, you know, faith is not just a religion, but it can also be a financial weapon. You know, keep showing up, keep building, keep believing.
Speaker 3:Say that again Keep what, keep, showing what Keep showing up, thank you.
Speaker 4:Keep believing, keep building, you know, because what you plant today will feed you tomorrow. So just think about that, everyone. Just think about showing up, believing in what you're doing, because what you plant today will definitely be able to feed you tomorrow. And on a personal note, anton, I'm going to keep my head down practice P, B and C. You guys remember what that is Be patient, be on time, be consistent with Anton, favorite P B and J, which is be polite, be bold, doing that While you're doing that. That's right.
Speaker 4:So I'm going to stack knowledge, I'm going to stack money and I'm going to strike when opportunity presents itself. Man bro, man, let the Trump and his followers come after me. They won't even see me coming. How about them, apples?
Speaker 3:Hey man, they go to bumps apples, they go to bumps man, they go to bumps man, they won't see me coming and you should do the same hey.
Speaker 4:I'm saying this is what I'm going to do, but take that, take that Stack in knowledge, stack in money, and then strike when an opportunity presents itself, because that's the antidote. Love it brother, that's the antidote. Love it brother, that's the antidote I love it, man.
Speaker 3:Hey, we in the breakdown, we in the break, in the breakdown, we're in the breakdown, you see how we slide down there real quick
Speaker 3:hey, we play, take off and we bring it back down so hey, you know, mike, you already, you already know, mike gonna give you the the literal and the mental and I'm gonna give you the spiritual and if you guys have never seen fbn before, we always, we always go into our breakdown. When we break down the episode, we give you the literal, the mental and the spiritual of the, of the energy that we bring in that week you know I mean. So that's kind of what we're doing now.
Speaker 4:All right, so let's start it off all right we're gonna start off with the literal, ladies and gentlemen, budget like it's survival track. Every dollar like it owes you rent. Now you know when your landlord is coming after for you for rent, how it feels like right, why don't you do that with your budget? But a budget like it owes?
Speaker 1:you rent?
Speaker 3:that's t-shirt number three.
Speaker 4:I told you we was averaging three we haven't even got to the t-shirts yet yeah, and we already got two or three so yeah definitely do it that way and why we're emphasizing that to make it sound like you owe rent is is is this is what you need to do. You want to. This is the antidote against trump budgeting. You need to budget. If you're going to spend frivolously, you're going to run out of money. There's not going to be the money there for you to just easily be grabbed. Your, your raise is only going to be a point zero, zero, whatever seven it is these days, you know it's, it's not going to be there.
Speaker 4:.00 whatever seven it is these days For real man, you know it's not going to be there, but you got to budget. You got to know, if not on your bills, how you budget for everything else. That's why we mentioned not only budgeting for bills but budgeting for everything else, and then taking that money if you got it for savings or something like that putting it into something that's going to leverage it and that's going to make money on money. So if we're doing that, at least for the next three and a half years because that's how long he's going to be in the office, no matter what God forbid something happened to him we don't want to wish nothing like that on anyone but he's going to be in office for the next three and a half years. This is what you need to do literally. You need to budget and then we're gonna go to the mental, the mental budget every dollar.
Speaker 3:Like it owes you, rent you have to say it again. Are you playing around with somebody? I'm just saying, bro, are you?
Speaker 4:it's like it's like he marinated what we just said and then he's like I have to say that again. I'm just for real, if Are you playing.
Speaker 3:It's like he marinated what we just said in there. He's like man. I have to say that again. I'm just thinking. I'm just for real man. If somebody oh, you rent Mike, is you playing around? No, I ain't playing.
Speaker 2:I'm just saying man, I ain't playing Go ahead, man Give me a minute bro.
Speaker 4:Let's get back on track. Struggle as strategy as a strategy If you're survival, if you're surviving sorry, if you're surviving poverty. You've already budgeted like a superpower. You understand that. If you're surviving poverty, if you're in the UPI.
Speaker 3:Budgeting is already a superpower for you.
Speaker 4:Budgeting is already a superpower, for budgeting is already a superpower. Yeah, yeah, yeah, think about that mentally. That's that's what you need to think. That, man, I was able to pay off all my bills this month. Man, you're a superhero right now. For real man, that's a superpower, that is a that is a very in. Oh my god, in this day and age, you're able to do that.
Speaker 4:Everything is up, eggs is up, every gas is up, everything you still made it through the month, and you made it through the month even with a zero. Or maybe you know a hundred, two hundred dollars that you could put in savings that you could leverage. That's a superpower you need to give your yeah, yeah uh a self-pattern on the back on that? Yep, for sure, I love that. Okay, hit him with the spiritual Anton.
Speaker 3:Hey, mike. So the spiritual for this is trust the bigger plan. All right, even if the system feels rigged, your grind isn't in vain.
Speaker 1:There you go.
Speaker 3:I'm going to tell you something about that real quick, because this hits my heart. All right, I'm going to tell you something about that real quick because this hits my heart, all right. In our daily, just our daily, our kind of just going through our day, right, sometimes you get caught in that little rut Wake up, go to work, come home, go to sleep. Wake up, go to work, come home, go to sleep.
Speaker 1:Almost starts sounding like a song yeah, wake up, go to work, come home, go to sleep or a broken record.
Speaker 3:You know a broken record, right, okay. And we start to see, we start to maybe notice people having things that we feel like we deserve. Okay, because we're working so hard. Understand that there's sacrifice involved in these things. I'm not talking about the one-offs, the trust funds and all this stuff. I'm talking about people who actually built themselves, built their worth, from nothing. All right, there's sacrifice. All right, we're going to have to sacrifice. Sometimes good to get great. Sometimes it takes us going out on the comfortable side ie, maybe a job or something like that to get to the elite, to get to the things that we feel we deserve.
Speaker 3:And believe me, believe us I'm talking to myself, especially right now, mike I hear that when we start to sacrifice things for what we want because, believe it or not, if you have a dream, all right, you won't have to sacrifice for your dream, or else guess what your dream will become the sacrifice, okay.
Speaker 3:So believe this If we are sacrificing for the things that we believe we want, but things we believe we have the capability to do, we will start to believe that we deserve things that other people don't. And when I say that, I mean this very humbly. I'm saying that in a way that when you start to do the work that we know other people aren't doing, when that baseball player, that football player, that professional athlete starts to run the miles at night when everybody else is sleeping, that's where the kind of the almost, the almost, and you can handle it in a good way. Right, you don't have to be cocky, but just believe that that energy comes from somewhere. When you run those miles at night and you know everybody else is asleep and you putting in the rounds that you know when everybody else is out partying, you start to carry yourself with this confidence. Right, okay, and that's what I mean when I say, that's what we mean when we say the game might be rigged. Right, okay, but your grind is not in vain.
Speaker 4:Right, because you can always outwork anybody, all day, all day, and that's truth. And I know a lot of our UPIs believe in sport, believe in basketball and believe in baseball, whatever. And what gets you to that next step is the grind right. Is you like you mentioned getting up at four o'clock in the morning, running the miles, practicing eight hours, 12 hours a day? That grind is not in vain. It will get you to the next level. So just have that belief in yourself, because same thing with budgeting you're budgeting, you're gonna make it happen. It's the same type of grind, the mentality of budgeting and doing what you're supposed to do. It's a grind so spiritually, you may not see it, but it's coming.
Speaker 3:It's coming, I promise you it's coming like that so, so it's real brother, that's it, that's it. You want me to hit him with the t-shirt man? I feel like you gave him three t-shirts already. Tell him what the t-shirt said so we got the t-shirt I gave, so the official t-shirt for this episode. Are y'all ready? All right, I don't need a Trump stimulus check to stimulate my hustle, there you go. To stimulate my hustle, there you go.
Speaker 2:Say it one more time.
Speaker 3:We don't need a Trump stimulus check to stimulate our hustle there. You go.
Speaker 4:So you know, the antidote is there. Ladies and gentlemen, I hope we laid it out for you and we even have a best practice, as you know, we have a best practice. I know our podcast listeners are not used to this, but we have a best practice, and our best practice on this episode is whether it's Trump or anyone else in office, you are the president of your pocket. The wealthian's policy is what matters most is for your future. Love it, man. Okay, that's what matters most and, as you know, a wealthian means the ability to obtain money and abundance. Love it, brother.
Speaker 3:So there you go, and we all have the ability.
Speaker 4:That's for sure. That's it, it's in us all we all got gifts, man.
