  Speaker 3: My guest, he's on the call, and I had him
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: on the show before and it really dealt into chronic pain,
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: mental stress, overcoming the odds. His name is Jackson Dunbar.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: He triumphed by earning a comfortable living after having lost
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: it all. Dumbbar's committed to creating a new normal life
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: for himself, deliberately focused on his physical health and strength,
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: continued to earn an income while still in chronic pain,
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: and without his knowledge, was teaching himself and possibly the world,
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: a masterclass in survival. And his book he gives a
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: first hand account on how he made money, lost Danty Palce,
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: and thrived in chronic pain in the financial and healthcare world.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: The one and only Jackson Dunbar who's on the call,
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: still my friend.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: He's been telling.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Us a story and a very movie story and a
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: very honest story about a day in the life of
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: a person with chronic pain. And even even just listening
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: to that. The model of drugs that is that you
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: have to have to get through a day, a day
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: in the life means you have to have insurance, correct Jackson?
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes, yes, and what And that was tough because
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: a lot of the med a lot of a lot
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: of the medications that I needed, some were covered, some
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: were not. I was luckier than most that I could
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: pay out of pocket. But now, yeh, Now with Obamacare,
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: the subsidies that are given and what you're able to
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: get on the changes are quite good. So now yeah,
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: I'm able to get almost all of the medicines that
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: I need covered by insurance.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Now I'm sitting in the house just I'm just pointing
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: an example. Somebody sending in the house stock market. I
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: don't even know what's going on with the stock ma.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: I don't even understand the stock market. I don't know
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: those little numbers a little I don't you know, I
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: got a little money. I got bout maybe a few
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: thousands of dollars sending the bank. I hear words like
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: compounded ches, I hear stock, I hear all kind of
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: How do I break the financial financial literacy ignorance to
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: get involved?
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Jackson?
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: Okay, well, I think the first step is to you know,
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: I think the first thing is just go on Google
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: and pretend like you're writing yourself a paper on the
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: stock market, right, can google stock market whatever, and then
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: finally you'll get all this data and write yourself a
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: long letter, a short write paper on how to get
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: into the stock market. And if you do that, what
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: you will find out is that, for the most part,
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: it's all about two things. Number one, what are the
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: current geop with the current geopolitical landscape? And interest rates?
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: And what I mean by that is that the geopolitical landscape,
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: let's say there's a wargo and whatever reason, supply lines
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: of oil have been cut. Well, there it's a lack
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: of oil. Hey, what's that going to do to the
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: price of it? Especially if there's a wargum. Also, interest
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: rates and interest rates are low, people people are more
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: risky with their money, institutions are more risky with their money.
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: So that means you can you can put money on
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: more speculative investments such as neo some of the crypto
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: based some of the crypto based stocks. But when interest
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: rates go up, typically investors are more cautious. They want
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: more meat and potatoes stocks, stocks that actually do something
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: and make money. So essentially what you want to do
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: is is just look at the current political look at
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: the current market and political landscape. Hey, what industries are
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: making money there? And then look at the interest rates,
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: what interest what interestries and what companies are making money
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: if we have less oil and have higher interest rates.
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: And from there, yeah, you pick the stocks. You pick
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: two or three stocks with a cost base is under
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: twenty dollars because you want to get appreciation. You're not
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: going to get a lot of appreciation getting something that
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: has three digits or more. That's too expensive for me.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: Most of your money is going to be made between
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: zero and twenty.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: If a stock splits, does it? Should you buy in?
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: Then? You know, I think for me, most of the
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: times when the stock split that values over three digits?
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay?
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: And for me here I have stocks in several categories.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: You got the fast and the furious, right okay? Yeah?
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: And these stocks, you know, they go up fast and
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: they come down fast. You know, a MC Are you
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: a day trader?
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Are you a day trader? Jackson?
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: Consider myself more of a spot trader.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: Okay, okay, Because it sounds like they were you seeing
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: stuff going up and down?
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: I mean you you watch it?
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you can watch it. Watch it. Yeah, yeah,
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: a lot of the specific cryptos themselves. I mean doors Coin. Yeah,
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: that was a great example of a fast and furious.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: And then you have friends with benefits. Okay, so these
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: are stocks that you wantn't want your mother to buy,
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: but they're good for a good here. Okay, you'll ride
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: the ups and downs of these and what's great about
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: these spots is that they'll go up and then they'll
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: come down. And when they come down, you do put
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: some notes and and what puts. What puts are basically
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: you're betting that a stock's going to go down. They
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: call it short the market.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Are you really into it?
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: You're saying all the all the right terminology of a
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: day treat, you know.
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So for me, I focus on friends with benefit stocks.
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: I ride them up, and then when I think they're
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: going down, I shot them and.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: I well, you know a lot of people say that's
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: dollar cost averaging, right is that is am I using
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: the right terminology?
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Because that sounds like what you're doing.
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: Well, well, here, I know a lot of folks they
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: dollar cos average id e. They put so much money
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: in every month and hope to get the power of
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: compound and and things of that nature. Yeah, yeah, I do.
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: I do do that. So much of my so much
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: of my proceeds they go into a kid's account, or
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: they go into here, we have an investing account, and
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: then we have a retirement account. The retirement account is
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: more conservative investments. By that, I need index funds and
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: ets that paid dividends. So that's all we do over there,
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: do a lot of dollar cost Allergen over that because
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: so much money every month out of the risky stock
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: fund goes into that more moderate stock fundon in order
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: to sport.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: Jackson, I'm never in my life bought a twenty dollars stock.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: I can't even imagine the research you have to do
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: to buy a twenty dollars stock.
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: Well, you know what, let's see Ribban uh huh again.
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: These guys they have the they have the best electric
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: truck on the planet. Right, what was that nine dollars?
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: During spring break? I loaded my kids accounts up.
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: With that.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: Because here, Tesla is good, but I want something that's
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: gone twenty thirty, forty X my money, and you're only
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: going to get those with stocks between zero and twenty dollars.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: I'm being educated. Keep talking, Jack, how much educating me. Brother.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: Have you been to the have you ever have you
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: ever read the Motley Fool before?
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Yes? Yes, A long time been around.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: Wow, that's been that's been around at least for forty years.
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: But if you go to fool dot com and just
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: typing best growth stocks under twenty, I mean under twenty dollars,
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: you can go on to five under ten, under twenty
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: for this year. It'll pull you up. It'll pull you
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: up some. Then go over to Y'alluo finance and grab
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: them out and see how and see how they've done.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: Now you'll see things like Mara, which which is a
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: crypto related stocks, is up four hundred percent. Riot, another
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: crypto really is up four hundred percent this year. Ribbon
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: is up more than two hundred percent. So you're not
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: going to get those sort of returns with some of
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: triple digit and more stocks like Tesla, Chevron and things
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: of that nature. And don't get me wrong, I call
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: those stocks spouses. They're well established, they grow, they pay
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: dividends minimum and they had minimum okay, and they had
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: minimum up and downs. But I startedly now I'll have
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: my kids and stuff like that, because the power of
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: compound compound interest. The younger you are, the more money
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: you make there you go. So if you're starting your
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: kids at fifteen sixteen, by the time they're forty, they're
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: multi millionaires. But for us, you know, we had to
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: pay off student loans, we have to start businesses. We
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: just set up our kids pay for college. We may
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: be starting at fifty. So my question is where can
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: I make the most amount of money if I got
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: maybe fifteen or twenty years to play with, and for
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: me that stocks between zero and twenty dollars.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: We're talking to Jackson Dunbar and he's educating with Sean McDonald.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: Hopefully he's educating my audience. For man jum me. You know,
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: he's a he's quiet on the other side of the glass.
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: He's quiet on.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: Those sidember because I'm Jason Man. It's no way I
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: ever bought even thought of buying a DOOCT. That was
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: like at the twenty dollars they thought in my mind.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: But then what you said something that was really important
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: before we go to break you said, treat going into
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: the stock market like a homework assignment, which means you
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: do your research and you have to learn about your
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: product and by learning about your product, you actually get
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: a clear understanding of the advantages and the disadvantages and
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: the approach of doing business with the stock market of
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: stock and so that approach I had never heard. And
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: when I get back, I want to ask you a
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: question about you know, because of that injury that happened,
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: you're living a lifestyle that I'm assuming you not have
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: lived if the injury didn't happen. When we get back,
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: he's going to answer that question. Jackson Dunbar, he's on
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: my show, Money Making Conversations master Class and we're talking
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: about chronic pain, mental health, overcoming the Odds and his

• 15:32
  Speaker 3: I want to thank you everybody for sticking around and
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: listening to the show. You just hold on a lot
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: of different platform podcast series XM on this radio streams
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: worldwide and it's about providing everybody with information. I've learned
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: a lot since I started hosting Money Making Conversation Masterclass
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: and it's I've learned basically by just shutting up and
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: listening because of the fact that if you know everything
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: while you have a guest on the show talking to him,
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: of the guess I am talking to that has really
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: educated me a lot, and hope a lot of the
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: audience members who are listening is about overcoming the arts,
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: not self pity, not being your dominant derivative of why
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: you are successful or not successful in that case, because
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: that's where the pity comes in. But more importantly, Jackson
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: Dunbar had an accident that he didn't ask for to
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: change his life, change his family life, change his wife's life,
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: change his lifestyle, and pity, did step in drugs, did
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: step in anger? Stepped in three years of that changed
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: his life. And there's a lot of people that care
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: about him and cared about him, and I'm sure he
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: lost some friends along the way too, because one thing
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: you don't want to be is an angry person in
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: a wheelchair. You know who're going to hang around that person?
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: I know I won't, And so you overcame that and
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: now you have a knowledge in the financial industry that's
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: now benefiting your family where you feel you would have
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: been with this knowledge, if you would not have had
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: this accident.
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: You know, when I had the accident, as I told you,
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: I own well Met Atlanta. We're a group of child
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: and LANs and psychiatrists. We're black owned, and we closed
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: our biggest deal then. And at that time in my life,
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: I was chasing I was chasing the dollars. My best
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: friend he would be like, every time I call you,
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: you know you're chasing money. And yeah, And I think
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: the accident made me slow down. I gotta say I'm
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: a better father. I'm sure a better husband, and and
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: I think a lot of that was it just And
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: I'm probably a better person too. You know, I thought
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: about things and dollars and cents, profit and losses. You know,
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: I could tell you the profit and loss per patient
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: on anyone coming in and and I lack something and
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: I don't And and now having a walk a mile
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: in someone's shoes, being judged by the color of your skin,
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: having to get treatment but not being able to have
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: the insurance, it's it's, it's it's it's changed me to
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: the point now where I tell people, hey, listen, you
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: know we have a business. But that's only step one.
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: Step two is how do we improve the community that
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: we live in, you know, how do we make enough
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: off of the people that can pay so that we
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: can help some of the people that can. And so
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: now yeah, it's I've I've a more I have a
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: better worldview around people around and yeah, and I don't
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: think I would have had that but for the accident.
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: I'm also the better shape because back then, yeah, I
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: mean I was three fifty at my biggest.
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm in the two fifties. Now. I swim at
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: the Way Walk of YMCA. I'm also on the board
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: there and I have three way Walk I have three
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: one hundred mile t shirts that I have from swimming.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: And I have to say, you know, there is that
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: there's a point where you're in water, you feel like
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: you touch God, God himself and as I feel no
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: pain as soon as I get in water.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: So it's a great way to reset to really focused
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: on Okay, I was able to do these six things
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: and three to four hours, how do I kick it
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: up to ten? Okay, And I'll spend my time thinking
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: about that. Uh, let's see versus Oh this is what
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: I lost. Blah blah blah, blah blah. So yeah, I'm
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: enjoying life more. Yeah, the pain sucks, forgive my French.
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: But when I look down and I focus on what
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: I've gotten out because of COVID, I would when my
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: accident came and at the biggest with all the drugs,
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: I was three fifty off. My A one C was
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: in eight seven. All my numbers were read. If I
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: had those numbers during COVID, I would have died right right, yeah,
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: because because most black people were men with those cold
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: mobidities during COVID. Yeah, it wasn't pretty. But now my
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: A one C is under six. I'm six to one,
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: about to look like a lumber Jain. For the most part,
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: all my numbers are green in a lot of ways. Yeah,
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: I'm the healthiest I've ever been, and that's because of the.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Accident, both mentally and physically.
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: Yes, sir, oh, I love it.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: You know when we started this conversation at the top
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: of the show, and the first time you came on
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: the show, I didn't really get a whole picture of
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: the man I'm talking to, and that's Jackson Dunbar. And
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: the first conversation was about the book and we talked
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: about the book. We've talked in and out of the book,
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: but I feel today we basically had a conversation, and
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: that conversation is important because you shared with us knowledge
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: you've shared with us, you know, emotional moments you've shared
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: us with. You know your relationship with your wife, relationship
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: with your daughter, relationship with your family, relationship with your friends.
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: But more importantly, you still care. You know, despite all
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: that pain, you still care. How does one care when
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: it seems like life has delivered you a bad hand.
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: I found out something. We pulled our kids out of
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: private school and we put them in the neighborhood school.
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: I was I would bring my daughter home and she
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: said it was hot. The ac went out, and like,
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: how long had it been out? A few days? So
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: I went up to the school and my scooter and
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: just the ac out. They wouldn't give me an answer,
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: so I went I did what any of that would do.
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: I went to the Age of hardware store. I bought
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: all of their fans. I brought them to the school
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: and the principal was looking at me as if I
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: was going to cause the scene go to the press.
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: I'm like, no, all, I want to do is keep
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: my daughter and these kids school. So I brought the
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: fans over and I climbed out for my scooter. I
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: was in so much pain and I was sweating. Halfway
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: through assembling those fans. My daughter she came, got one
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: for her class, smiled. Another person came, got a fan
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: for her class. All of a sudden, I stopped thinking
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: about the tame and I fact that they're putting the
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: fans together and seeing the smiles on all the black
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: and brown faces, I realized something. You know, the best
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: way to help yourself is to help other people. All
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: the anger is gone, all the resentment is gone. And yeah,
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: we have a smile on your face. And people say
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: that about me all the time, especially when I go
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: and when I see my doctors. You know, you always
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: have this big smile on your face. That's swear for
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: a game patience, And it's like, yeah, because I spend
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: my time focused on what I can do, and then
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: I try to make a game of it. How can
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: I do more give than the limited time to give
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: them the limit physical capacity I have? And I just
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: worked the plan and that keeps smile on my face.
