  Speaker 1: We always talking about black people always getting um second
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: hand information. Black people are minorities in period, especially people

  Speaker 1: solid foundation and financial legacy and that's your that is
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: your legacy. Oh yeah, And that's one of my favorite subjects.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: And and I love you for covering it. And I
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: love being on your show because you're you're an expert
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: and you reach so many people and you're so knowledgeable
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: about a lot of things, and you have a tremendous
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: amount of energy and passion. So let me just say
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: it as I said it to you once before and
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: to your audience. To be black and beautiful in this
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: world means nothing unless you're black and powerful. White folks
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: are planning for three generations, and we're planning for Saturday night.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: So the goal is to win, not to look like
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: we're winning. Right. I would rather carry a plastic bag
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: with five thousand dollars anything to carry a five thousand
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: dollar Louis v Don bag with a hundred dollars in it.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: It is interesting to me, Rashwan, the rich day rich
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: by pretending to be poor, and the poor stay poor
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: by pretending to be rich. And if we do not
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: change our activities, if we do not change our understanding
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: of capitalism and investment in the twenty one century, we
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: are headed into a second slavery and we have to
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: fix this. It was the great um Uh dr Amos
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Wilson you can see his videos on YouTube, who said
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: our refusal as black people to confront the issue of
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: money and wealth is going to end up with our
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: very lives being threatened as people on this earth. So
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: we have to get our act together and we have
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: to become financially educated. When you say financially educated, what
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: do you mean? When I say financial education, I mean
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: learning the rules and the game of capitalism. It it
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: is educating ourselves around all of the elements that drive
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: capitalism and how we can leverage those opportunities and build
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: assets beyond the very conservative ways that we have built
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: assets over the last two generations. And what I'm what
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I'm suggesting is that we really need to look in
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: the latest opportunity of cryptocurrency. Because cryptocurrency is something that
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: I I hear a lot, I'm gonna I know nothing
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: about from a standpoint of how I can participate because
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: it feels very foreign to me, and it feels like
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: it's not a valid currency because I'm so used to
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: put my money in the bank. I'm so used to
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: going to the stock market. I'm so businessly buying a
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: home or buying a car. When I hear word cryptocurrency,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: what what is blocking me? What information am I missing
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: that I'm not participating in? Dr Frasier, Well, I think
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: the first question that we have to ask ourselves so
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: that we will, we will be motivated to take an
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: interest in to take a deep dive into study. What
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: this whole cryptocurrency movement is about is we've got to
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: ask why crypto? Why crypto? And not you know, savings
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: accounts by the s c d S, mutual funds for
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: all one case and stock markets, the SMP five market,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: real estate and gold. Right, those are the things that
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: we understand. Those are the things are hard and paper assets,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: and those are the things that we're comfortable with, but
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: they're not going to allow us to get economic equity.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: And what I mean by economic equity, Uh, the race
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: in which those assets pay us are not allow us
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: to close the income and wealth gap between black folk
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: and white folk. Right, white folks have ten times the
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: household median wealth as as black people. So we've got
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: to do some things that will help us close this gap.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: And we've got to think outside of the box where
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: guess we're going to have to take some risks. Uh,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: there's no question about that, but no risk, no reward.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: We have got to find ways uh rashon to leverage
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: and compound the stacked and assets that we have. These
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: assets are stagnant, there there's the small percentage of interest
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: that we're making on Let's say, let's look at some
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: interest rates on some of the traditional investments that black
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: folks have made historically, including myself. Savings accounts. All right,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: they're very, very safe, but the annual interest rate on
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: a savings account is a half a percent. That's not
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: even keeping up with inflation. So a half a percent
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: annually on your money. I just got a document from
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: a good friend who had eighty nine thousand dollars and
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Wells Fargo in his savings account, and he wanted me
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: to see it because I was talking about it, and
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: he showed me his uh December the U statement of
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: this interest he rate he earned on eighty nine thou dollars.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at it. Earned seventy six cents on eighty
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: nine thousand dollars in a year from Wells Fargo. Do
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: you know how much Wells Fargo made on his eighty
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: nine thousand dollars And he only made seventy six cents. Now,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: it's safe, there's no question about that. The FED, the
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: f D i C protects you in case the bank
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: goes down, but it's gonna take your thirty years to
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: get your money back. That's on average what it takes
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: if something if a bank fails and you and you're
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: protected by f D I C. But most importantly, you're
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: only you're only earning less than a half a percent
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: a year on your heart earned money. The principle is
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: to put your money to work harder for you than
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: you did for it. Take a five year c D.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: A five year c D certificate of deposited only pays
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: one third of a penny, right, one third zero point
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: three one annually. Right, that's less than a savings account.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Mutual fund pays you about ten to four percent annually
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: on average. Four one K about ten to eleven percent annually.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: The stock market about nine point two percent annually. UH
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: the SMP five market if you're if you're investing in
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: the best stocks, is about thirteen point six percent annually.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Real estate pays ten to eleven percent annually, and gold
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: if you invest in goal is about ten point six
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: percent annual. So let me tell you what I've done
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: with crypto in just nine months. I started in the
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: crypto space after studying it for a year, and I
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: started by entering one opportunity, one platform after studying that platform.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: All right. So I started my crypto journey nine months ago.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: This is the truth. I could show it to you,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: I could verify it. I started with about ten thousand
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: dollars in cash. Where did I take it? I took
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: it from my savings account, which was paying me a
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: little or nothing less. Yeah, yeah, absolutely not, not less
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: than five percent, less than a half a percent. Apologize,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: I'm giving it too much credit, less than a half
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: of this cent, all right. So I started with ten
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars cash, which I took from my savings account,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: which would pay me less than a half a percent,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: of which I had sixty tho dollars in because we
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: were always taught to say for a rainy day, right,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: that was my rainy day money. I took ten thousand
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: dollars cash out of that. In January of this year,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: I invested in a a crypto platform call for Sage,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: which was really an ethereum. Uh. You know, there's etherium,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: there's bitcoin. Bitcoin is the is uh is the number
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: one cryptocurrency and ethereum is the number two cryptocurrency. Bitcoin
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: is it about forty six thousand dollars of coin and
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Ethereum today is about thirty four thousand dollars a coin.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: But when I invested in it um, let's see nine
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: months ago. No, it's actually a little bit more than that,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: about twelve months ago. But a year ago Etherium was
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: a hundred and ninety seven dollars a coin. Today. Okay, okay, okay,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: doctor you about to give me man now. Now you
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: just say it is thirty four thousand dollars a coin,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: and you invested when it was a hundred dollars a coin, right,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: that's what you're just saying. Well, you know on ethereum.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Ethereum is thirty four hundred dollars a coin. I invested
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: in it about a year ago when it was a
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: hundred and ninety seven dollars a coin, and my investment
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: today is worth eighty seven thousand dollars cash money. Then
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: I invested in my second platform, this is no PS
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: for Sean and was called cash. It was called CFX
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: all cash FX. That was an investment in the foreign
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: exchange market. You get in with bitcoin, you get and
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: you get paid in bitcoin. I invested seven thousand dollars
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: in CFX. Today my seven thousand dollars is worth nineties
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: six thousand dollars. My third investment was in hyper fund,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: which is investment in the crypto ecosystem, and that investment
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: I invested about five thousand dollars. That investment is worth
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars. Right. So when you look at the
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: money that I invested about ten thousand dollars, right, I
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: have earned two hundred and thirty six thousand dollars or
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: a twenty four hundred percent return on my investment in
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: less than a year. That's that's on the market that
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: I said earlier that I have a few to sit
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: down to learn about. And that's what so many African
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Americans are. People are color or minoritiests are refusing to
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: educate themselves. And that's why I really started this show
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: because I wanted to start. I want to engage more people,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Dr Fraser, because my fears shouldn't be your fear. And

• 17:31
  Speaker 1: certain honesty about him. Plus, you know, he's been through decades.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: You know, you want somebody to have been through a
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: lot of decades. He's been through the Civil Rights decade,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: he had been through the Big Afro decades. He had
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: been through seventy seven absolutely decades. I've something after that,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: I made a lot of mistakes. I failed my way
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: to success. But I was curious. I was, and that's
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: the key. And you've got to be intellectually curious. You
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: gotta do their study, take the deep dive so that
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: you to do some critical thinking and then, as Bernie
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: macauld say, bust the damn move. Do something different, you know.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: And an interesting thing about that, Dr Georgey Fraser, is
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: that we know when I listened listen to you. First
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: of all, people are always worried about their age. And
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: I always say that the top of my show, because
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: I really didn't find out who I was until I
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: was in my forties. Accept the responsibility of what I
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: could accomplish, you know, because a lot of people waiting
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: for this magic hit fifty, they just stop and it
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: hit sixty, and they think the government is going to
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: take care of them with something in retirement, and we
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: all know that's a lot that's worse than the interest rate.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: And so the reason I've always looked at you because
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: you remain topical and it's not like you're trying to
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: be young, just like I'm not trying to be young.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: But the information you always gave my audience and me
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: was so relevant. What would guide you down that line
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: of being saying, you know something, I'm just I'm just
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: a sponge, but I'm not going to act like I
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: know more, but I want to share more. Talk about
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: you for a little bit. Yeah, you know. My goal
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: is to give back the knowledge that the Creator has
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: allowed me to learn, that He has poured into me,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: that I have learned, and my moral responsibility and spiritual
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: responsibility is to give it back because that is the
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: purpose of life. Brashan, The purpose of life is very simple.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: God doesn't make anything complicated. We make things complicated. We
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: make things complicated so we don't have to do it.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: The more complicated we make it, the more reasons we
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: have and not doing it. And we make things complicated
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: to control power. If I am the only one that
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: knows a certain thing, and I have power over you.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: So my job is to keep it simple and to
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: share it. That is the reason God has given me
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: more and more information, because the more He gives me,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: the more I share, and that is concluent with the
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: purpose of life. The purpose of life is very simple.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: It is to love, to give, to serve, and to
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: add the I is value to somebody or something every
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: single minute of every single day. That is why we
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: are living. There is no other reason for you to
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: be sucking up this good a. It's loving, giving, serving
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: and adding value. So I want to add value. I
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: want to get to heaven, right, and I'm going to
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: get to heaven by giving away. When I see this
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: metaphorically giving away that which I have been given so
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: that it can be leveraged and more about people can
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: benefit from the assets and the knowledge, uh, and and
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: the successes that I have achieved. That's really what it's
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: all about. That's that's really uh. Let me give you
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: a metaphor, but it's called teamwork. Okay, let me give
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: you a metaphor. This is a one and it's a
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: true story. I'm gonna ask you a question, simple question.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Who holds the world records for one hundreds? Who holds
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: the world record for one hundred? The answer to that
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: is the same both from Jamaica. Right was saying, right,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: he did it at nine point five eight seconds. He
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: holds the world record four hundred meters at nine point
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: five eight seconds. Now, the next question is who owns
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: the four by one hundred relay world record. Who holds that.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: It is the Jamaican track team, the men's Jamaican track team,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: of which you say Boat runs on. They finished the
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: four by one hundred and thirty six point eight four seconds. Now,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: if you do your math, that's nine point to one
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: seconds or thirty one seconds faster than the world record.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: And Hussein Boat was on that relay team and they
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: ran four one hundred meters faster than he ran a
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: single one hundred meters. So what does that mean? That
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: means when we work together, when we collaborate eight, when
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: we share, when we share, when we run together, none
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: of us is as good as all of us put together.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: So we've got to run together. We've got to run
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: is one that means we have to share. If I
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: have good knowledge and good information, I will share it
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: with you. If you want to do something I'm doing,
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: I make it easy for you to do that. Dr Frasier,
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: we have a call here. Uh, like I said Warrant
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: from Atlanta, he has He's called and answer question on
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: money making conversation, Warren, how are you doing that? I'm good?
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: How are you? I have Dr George fres c Fraser
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: on the call here. Uh? What was your question, my friend,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: and thank you for calling in on money Making Conversation
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: on w C. Okay, sure, Dr Fraser, how are you
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: this evening? I'm doing wonderful. Thank you. Good. Um. With
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: thirty years of experience with entrepreneurship among the black community,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: how would you prioritize the cryptocurrency you mentioned among the
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: other opportunities that exist for entrepreneurs to do well in
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: the community. We have an absence of media, we have food,
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: deserts and the like. How would you rank cryptocurrency? Well,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: I think the nut The number one thing that Black
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: folks have to focus on in the twenty one century
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: is building wealth that will come through financial literacy and
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: financial education. What's the first thing slaves day when they
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: became free, they saw building small schools or classrooms, and
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: small schools and larger schools and there within hudrogen as
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: we had an entire system of historically black colleges and university.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: So education, education, that's the number one priority. Is financial
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: education that will lead to building wealth and closing the
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: income and wealth gap and then ultimately creating working jobs
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: for our people as hopefully we will become the number
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: one employer of our own people by the end of
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: the twenty one century, which means that we also have
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: to engage in business building. So if I was to
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: categorize under the headline of financial education and economic development,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: under the headline which is number one, that's that's the
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: number one thing under that headline would be business building,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: business building, and then number two would be um uh,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: taking advantage of the newest economic opportunity for closing the
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: income and wealth gap, and that is cryptocurrency. That's the
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: number one of the area of interest that we need
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: to be folks, if we really really want to close
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: this gap cryptocurrency, will you say that, Dr Fraser, That
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: also means you have to lend lend yourself to educ
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: ation and uh and also and not and walk into
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: the valley of the unknown, because, like you said earlier,

  Speaker 1: It's about money making conversation. But what I want to
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: say about cryptocurrency what I like to always tell people,
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: but I have flaws and what I won't do. No

  Speaker 1: can say a hundred thousand dollars, he didn't say a
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: million dollars. He said he broke it up ten thousand
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: dollars in three different ways, and he came back a
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: happy man. Now I'm mad at him because he didn't
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: tell me. That's all. That's all I gotta said about
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: the r He didn't tell me because he got my number.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: He got my number everybody, but he didn't tell me though.

  Speaker 1: saying that because because it makes a very very very
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: important point. We cannot not do something because either we
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: fear it or operating out of a scarcity mentalente or
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: fear mentality, or we don't know. There are brothers and
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: sisters that do know. So I have five hundred people
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: in my network who are interested in crypto, and we
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: bring in the experts. We try to understand what are
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: the best, best best platforms to invest in. So, because

  Speaker 1: the risk, of course, it's all risk. Everything is risking
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: that you invest in the stock market is all risk.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: A question about it? And Dr George I want to
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: get in one more call before we go to break.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: Rodriguez in Atlanta has another cryptocurrency. Like I said, you're
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: on fire today. You're on fire today and I love it.

  Speaker 1: speaking to you, and on the call is also Dr
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: Georgie Fraser. What's your question? Hello? Or is still there?
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: What's the next person here? Okay? Turnbow Indicata. You had
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: a question about the investment turnball, turnbout? Is your turnball
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: or turn abound? Turnbo? Okay, and thank you for calling
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: Money Making Conversation. What is your question if you want
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: to ask on Money Making Conversation today? Okay? My question
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: is um? What about Um? We're talked about cryptocurrency and
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: it sounds really good, but what about for those folks
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: don't have you know, a large amount of money to invest?
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: In cryptocurrencies or something like that. Is there a another
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: level below that where we can start to get in
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: and see some uh, see some good returns. Yes, of
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: course there is. You can start with as little as
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: three hundred dollars. I started with ten thousand dollars because
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars it's like three hundred dollars to me,
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: So if I lost it tomorrow wouldn't make one damn
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: bit of difference in my life. You can start with
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: three hundred dollars. Absolutely, you know that. The beauty of
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: what I would what you just said is people tend
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: to put value on what I can start. You know,
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: don't look at the mansion if you if you need
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: to be started in an apartment. And I always tell people,
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: you know, if you make a hundred thousand dollars, you're
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: not gonna live a lifestyle of a ten thousand dollar person.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: Because I wish I could still keep buying the same
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: two page, keep buying the same because you will elevate
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: your game. That's all he said. If he had three
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: hdd dollars, he would invest it, but he got ten
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars. So you took it the wrong way. You
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: took it like he had a lot of money and
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: you had a lot of money. But to participate. This
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: is money making conversations. We're just breaking it down to
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: everybody who's listening. Listen to me right now. You can
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: be part of the big dream, but you have to
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: stop shutting yourself up down and hearing what you want
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: to hear. And that's when I go back to the
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: point education and what stops people for investing in themselves
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: or in the stock they are fearful. You can buy
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: five dollar stock, you can buy penny stock, you can
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: buy anything you want. But what you do is you
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: look at and you look at on TV and you see,
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: you know, you see the Amazon CEO, billion dollar man.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: You see the guy going to space, and you know
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. You say, I can never go to
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: space because I I can't afford a hundred and twenty
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: five thousand space c Well, you weren't supposed to be
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: trying to get that ct. What you're supposed to be
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: doing is looking at how he got there. Do your
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: research so you can get there. And that's what this
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: show is about getting you there. And that's why I
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: brought Dr Georgie Fraser. I got my man, asked cast
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: he's in banking, so understand that this conversation about money
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: making conversations. Now, if you want to be part of
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: the money, may come say called me right now four

  Speaker 1: the presence of a legend. Then I got there here
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: a legend on the phone. Man, it's it's a beautiful day.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: It's a beautiful day. Well as you know that. The
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: our relationship has been unique because we've seen each other
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: from Afar and then we met each other. We fell
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: in love like brothers. And then the whole approach is
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: tied to your whole world is about helping people. But
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: the thing I like about you because the reason I
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: brought you on the show with George Georgie Fraser, Dr
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: Georgie Fraser's that he's a technical guy. So sometimes you
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: can get lost in his technical, technical style of teaching
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: where you are a common senstem and no, no, no negative,
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: Dr Georgie Fraser, but you break it down, it's such
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: a common natural way that doesn't throw fear in the
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: people talk about that. Yeah, you know, it's it's it's
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: funny because you mentioned that was a fifteen year banking executive.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: So first and all, once I grew up in the projects, right, um,
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: and so growing up in the projects, really didn't have
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: money hustler you know, you know, packing bags at AID,
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: doing selling mixtapes and T shirts. So I know that
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: entrepreneur life. But I was fortunate to get into banking,
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: and I started at nineteen years old and did everything
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: in banking from personal banker, private banker, branch manag just
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: see over credit Union, right. And when I realized when
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: I was a private bank I was meaning your money
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: for wealthy individuals and they had a team. But then
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: I thought about my people back at home, and I said,
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: we don't even got one person teachings about money. So
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: I said, you know, in the words of the honorable
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: Seawan called to jay Z, there's much bigger issues in
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: the world, I know, But I first had to take
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: care of the world. I know. And so for me,
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: I said, listen, if I'm a guy who's from the neighborhood,
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: I understand hip hop and understand the language. I understand,
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: you know, what we need from our community. And you know,
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: I was able to make it to the c suite
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: and the from a banker perspective. What if I just
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: took that knowledge and I brought it back to our people.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: Um and and as they say, put the medicine in
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: the candy, um and so that and and that's been
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: my life, like that is my life. Mission is exactly
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: what Dr Fraser was saying was really you know, you know,
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: closing that wealth gap specifically for our people, because we have,
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: you know, everything that we need to live the best
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: possible life. We just need the education and we need
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: we need that education in a way that we could
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: understand it. And then once we understand it, then there's
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: no excuse why we're not implementing it. Cool, we have
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: a call here Chantel in Marietta, Georgia. You have a
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: question about investment or please welcome to the show. You're
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: on the airline would be not right now, I'm interviewing
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: ash cast and of course I'm Rushan McDonald. What you
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: have to tell? What's your question? How are you guys
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: doing this season? Um, I'm curious. Um, I've been listening
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: for you all a couple of days now, just hear
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: about young people getting educated and taking a chance and investing.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: I'm curious. I've been doing like, um, I haven't one
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: five work for a government, but the passive income and
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: in between just trying to find my niche I keep
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: doing like these um uh quick little schemes. I guess.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: So maybe door dash or insta carter trying to make
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: just that income in between instead of check the check
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: my next endeavor. I'm curious about taking a chance with
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: investment for a t M and if you think it's profitable.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: I am in the Marryatta outside Atlanta air ye, and
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: I just have the um go for one after the
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: next minute and grow. Let me, let me, let me,
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: let me cut you off a little bit right quick,
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: because you said the word that I don't ever want
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: you to use when you're talking about invest the word scheme. Yes, yeah, yeah,
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: when that came out, I'm gonna let ask cash talk.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: But we're in the same way you scheme, I said,
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: I've never used the word scheme playing in my financial future.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: I can afraid that somebody goes the logo coming through
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: the back door in the front door. Well, I don't
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: do that, hustle though. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's not better either.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: That's not better either. UM. You know, the here's the
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: here's the thing, um is that um, you know, focus
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: on what you really want to focus on, um, and
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: not necessarily the money aspect of it, right, because like
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: you said, you have the nine to five right, and
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: then now you're trying to find another way to create
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: passive income. I have been in that same before, and
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: I have been in your spot where I was tritting
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: different things for my in and this in and that.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: And the thing that happened was I said, you know what,
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: forget the money, right, meaning that if I'm only chasing
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: money and I am wasting my time because money is
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: gonna come and go, You're gonna realize that money is
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: gonna come and go. But if you chase after something
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: that you are aligned with, not hustling, right, not a scheme,
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: But I want you to be aligned with what you're
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: doing right, So I'll give you an example. So for me,
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: I said, hey, I want to educate people. But me
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: educating people? I said, how am I gonna pay I'm married,
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: I got two kids. How am I gonna pay the
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: bills by just educating? But my passion? I was going
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: to inner city schools. I was teaching financial literacy, and
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: I said, how can I turn my passion into a business, right,
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: not a side hustle, not a scheme, but actual business?
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: And then I said, oh, let me write a book.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: Then I said, let me go, you know, go to
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: schools and and become a speaker. Let me go correct, right,
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: And I think that that's what you need to find
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: out first and foremost is what are you passionate about?
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: And does that passion feel a need? And how can
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: you feel that need. Once you do that and you
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: start making money, then let's start talking about how we
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: could take that money, like Dr Fraser said, and start
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: investing it in different vehicles so that money could grow.
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: But first, but if you but if you're after the money. First,
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: I personally wouldn't say to do that. I would say,
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: find that passion. Find how you that passing could feel
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: a need. And once you have that need, feel that
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: you start making money from it. Now take some of
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: that money and start investing in other places so it
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: could grow. And I'm just follows up shantail money is interesting.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: Money is really interesting because it makes people make bad
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: decision and good decision. Okay, the bad decision is that
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: if you invest something that you can't lose, and a
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: lot of people understand that. See, you can invest if
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: you if your time is valuable, which you should be,
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: people invest it, but they'll understand that investment that you
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: can lose, you can't get time back. And so when
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: you put it out there and so so people understand
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: that money is the same thing. And so I run
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: the opportunity route too. I would tell people all the time,
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: I said, when I go on the grocery store, my
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: goal has always been I just buy what I want.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: I technically don't even look at the price. Now I
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: do shop with coupons. If I have some coupons, I
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: go in there make sure if I got to two
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: eggs or offers of milk or I will do that.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: That's when I'm looking for a price. But technically I'm
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: just going in there. But I'm also a guy who
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: will take advantage of an opportunity. And I'm just telling
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: you is that just reframe your thought process. Don't use
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: words like hustle, don't use words like scheme because you
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: need to articulate your conversation to people who appreciate the
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: value of a plan. And right now, just put your
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: plan in action. Realize your time is an investment, and
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: then you should outline your your time with a schedule,
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: and that schedule has to be consistent. And when it's consistent,
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: like I said earlier, I get up at four thirty
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: everyday Monday through Friday. That's my winning time. Your winning
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: time might be five thirty, you're when your time might
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: be six thirty, But what your winning time came be
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: four thirty on Tuesday, six o'clock on Wednesday, seven o'clock
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: on Thursday, three o'clock on Friday. Your body, in your mind,
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: we've wat and so so I just want you to
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: understand that. Thank you for calling the show today, and
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: but call back and be a friend of the show,
• 43:19

  Speaker 1: win by listening to w c ok and said, al right, Chantel,
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: most definitely, I guess I want to say to be
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: able to put back into my four O one. My
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: dad had to break it down. I was cool list
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: and didn't know that, um, investing into your four one
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: is not only coming out of a paycheck. I thought.
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that it could just come out of
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: your pocket and be put back into investing in retiring.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: I was new to that, Like, oh really, I didn't.
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: I wasn't just made away. You know, you'ren learn these
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: things in high school. And all my passion is to
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: have the business and to have different entities under it
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: that wus be my my my and to help out others,
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: you know where I can maybe we can split and
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: go onto the next ATM or the next thing that
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: I want to give back as well, or you know,
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: kind of put somebody onto you know, the business as well,
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: so they're they're able to Yeah. And the and the
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: one the one thing I would say, Gentel, is really
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: about the research. You know, because um, you know, whatever
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: you focus on, there's somebody right now who's making millions
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: of dollars by selling plastic pens, right, And so it's
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: really what you focus on. And so understanding what it's
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: gonna take to to to invest in the A T
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: M business, Uh, you know what time you have to
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: dedicate to it, um, And also you know what the
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: returns are and if you're willing to do what it
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: takes or are you gonna have to hire someone? So really,
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: as you saw I mentioned, it's really the plan and
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: making sure you have the plan first. And once you
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: have the plan, and and once the plan is sound
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: and it's viable, I would say execute and and you
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: execute with with the whole idea that you cannot lose.
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: But if you lose, don't let it traumatize you. Because
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: I have lost. I have lost, and I tell people
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: all the time that's why always trying to share my
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: flaws when I talk to people, because if you look
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: at a person who always says that he's successful all
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: the time, he's lying. And if you look at the
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: person who don't want to share their flaws, stop talking
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: to him. And I wanna thank you Shante for calling

• 48:13
  Speaker 1: we want to get there, but my ash cast you know,
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: like I was saying earlier, you know you're one of
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: the nations top financial educators, personal finance expert, business coach,
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: and motivational speakers. And that whole motivational speaking part is
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: what I want to get into right now because so
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: many people want to hear the word like in church
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: now they want to hear the Bible. So many people
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: want to hear how to be successful, but don't want
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: to put the work in or follow the rules of
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: the Bible. It's the same thing in the financial world
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: that you in. You people come up with you, take
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: photos with you. Man, how can I give you the
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: business card? What frustrates you most when people don't do
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: what you're advising to do because you can't tell him
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: what you can get to advise. Yeah, yeah, I think
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: I think the most frustrating part is, uh, just people complaining, um,
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: you know, because because here's a deal, because we all
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: have a choice, right. Uh. Being broke is difficult. Being successful,
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: it's difficult. You just gotta choose the difficult that you want.
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: And so if you choose the difficult, that says saying,
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna be broke, I'm not gonna know how to
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: you know, take care of my family. I'm gonna I'm
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: gonna worry about how to make ends meet and things
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: of that nature. And there's somebody who's taking time to
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: show you, you know, how to you know, how to
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: do that, how to get to the next level of life, um,
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: and just to you know, be somebody who is taking
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: up that knowledge and not implementing. I think that's the
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: most frustrating part because there's a lot of people out
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: there that want the information, who would love to have
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: somebody to give them the information. And so if you
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: are you know, you know, wasting time, you're you're in
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: the you're in the way of somebody else who is
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: willing to implement UM. So other than that, I think
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: that's the frustrating part. But the truth of the matter
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: too is um. I also know that it doesn't happen overnight, um.
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: And so I know that there are people, um who
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: you know, what we're saying is shaking up their mindset. Right,
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: Like Dr Fraser says, don't waste your time on savings. Right.
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: He didn't say that verbatim, but he's saying, listen, you
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: are wasting your time on you know, if you're saving
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: your right half a percent, right, So it's not even
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: one percent, it's half of a percent, right. And so
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: as a former fifty year banking executive, I approved that message.
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: But you gotta think, right, You gotta think in our
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: neighborhood that like, like that's what they told us, They said,
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: go to go to work, work hard, save your money.
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: But if you save your money, you're losing money. And
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: I think that, you know, it's a whole big paradigm
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: shift that's happening. And so I get it. We're shaking
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: up people's world. That's all they knew. They grandmothers and
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: and and parents are telling them safe safe, safe, safe,
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: saved and not a paradigm is invest invest, invest, And
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: so people might not get it on the first time.
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: And so for me, I'm happy that the conversations are happening,
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: the money making conversations are happening. Uh and and I
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: know eventually we gott we just gotta make it. We
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: gotta keep having a conversation until it becomes cool. Was
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: talking about the four one K. You know, your your
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: employer pay something, she pays something. Check it out. You
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: check fifty dollars a month. It adds up in a
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: big way. I got Eric from from sham Blie. He
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: has a banking with a basic investment conversation. Question. Eric
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: from Shamblie. You on a call with Sean McDonald and
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: uh financial guru and and motivator Mr ash Cash. What's
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: your question? Okay? Um, well, I mean I'm an artist
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: and uh, I also want to try to work on
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: licensing my heart and promoting it. But that's my passion
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: to make money. But I know all the things that
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: you're talking about, I don't know anything about I can't
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know the plastics of it, you know to say, Okay,
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm an add border and sugar and I just
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: started making the money care Yeah yeah, yeah, so Eric,
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: thank you, thank you for that. Yeah yeah, not for sure,
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: and and thank you for that vulnerability. Right. What I
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: would say is this, I would say, make sure that
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: you have a financial plan. And what does that mean. Um,
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: you know, when you get paid and whatever you do,
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: whether you still have a nine or five, whether it's
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: your art, whenever you get paid, what I want you
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: to do is put a certain amount aside, right, And
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: so whether it's ten percent, find out an amount that
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: you're comfortable with. Put that aside. And the first thing
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: you're gonna do is you're gonna you're gonna start building
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: what I like to call your financial freedom fund. And
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: what that means is start to build up an account
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: that six or eight months of expenses, right. And so
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: so we're not saying save his accounts are bad. We're
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: saying that actually good because they can save you, you know,
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: in case of an emergency. So start building a financial
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: freedom fund. But then also what you need to start
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: doing is is after or while you're building that financial
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: freedom fund. The truth of the matter is that no
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: one's gonna become financially free if they don't invest, if
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: they don't change their relationship with money. Because right now,
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: our relationship is that we're gonna work hard for money.
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: But the true relationship should be money should work hard
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: for you. And and the only way that happens is
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: if you invest right. And so as you're building your
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: financial freedom fund, start to put money aside that you're
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: gonna start investing, and and and and the good thing
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: about doing it every time you get paid is that
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: you're not just taking a lump sum. You're doing what's
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: called dollar course averaging. So whether you're investing in crypto,
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: if you're investing in the stock market, whatever you're investing in,
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: you're actually doing it on a periodic basis. And as
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: you do it on that periodic basic uh, it's actually
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: gonna grow for you. But the number one thing before
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: you invest a dollar is to understand, you know, to
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: to to to have the information, the knowledge on how
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: to invest. And so there are tons of podcasts out there. Um,
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of you know, financial ols out there.
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: There are free resources on YouTube that can actually teach
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: you the basics of how to get into it. I
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: would start there, um, and then and and and then
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: you start to build, you know, build from their absolutely.
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: I was just want to say this on my end
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: right now, I've got I've got a little bit of
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: money right sitting in the drawer doing nothing. I hope
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: it's not really sitting in the drawer. It's not really
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: in the draw is it. It's not really draw Okay? Cool?
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: We really need to talk offline and don't let nobody
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: attrack this phone either because I'm I don't need to
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: be on Channel five tonight because somebody did a sixty
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: night on my number. He said, it's doing you know
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying, This money is just it's doing nothing.
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: It's I mean, it's only like but it's doing nothing, right,
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: But that's money though there could be some did you
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: not hear? What? What? Just take three hundred dollars to
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: go to cryptocurrency? Actually want to give this advice to
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: you and everybody because we want to go to some
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: more callers and thank everybody for calling in on the show,
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: and especially thank you because you're being honest about yourself
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: and the only way you can move ahead is being
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: honest about your situation. What for what always drives me
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: is about people who go to church they tied, which
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: God teaches you how to save. He gives you the
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: discipline to say, but you don't you do it for
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: the church, but don't do it for yourself. Should you
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: take that same discipline. So so when I tell people
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: who in the church put a lot of money inside,
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: they look at me like, I ain't got no money,
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: but you got money for church though, So I'm telling you,
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: take that same principle, that same discipline that you have
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: for church and apply to yourself, and you'll win twice
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: the God blessing and the personal blessing. That's all I'm saying.
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: And so if you take advantage of that knowledge that
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: we're trying to give you, and what you wanna win
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: with is that I value your call. I value your knowledge,
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: but the discipline is what most people make a mistake on.
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: And I just wanted to do a shout out to
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: the people who go to church to the people who
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: do tie. Those are the same people. And you know,
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: Ash will tell you, I don't know how I'm gonna
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: do that. I don't know how I'm gonna pull together
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: twenty dollars a week when you give it twenty all
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: to the church every week, and that's party dolls. I'm saying,
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: it's fifty dollars a month. So you can get to
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: that fifty dollars and so all all I've ever said
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: and all asked cash is always saying it's common sense.
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: That's why I loved this brother. He talks from a
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: Commersen's perspective. Now we have Donald and Conyers. He's a
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: disabled veteran. How are you doing? And thank you for
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: serving our country? How are you doing? Donald? I'm good,
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: I'm good. I'm really good. You know, a call with
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: as cash and of course I'm Rashan mcconnal. What's your
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: what's your question? Yes, I was asking, as a veteran
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: on a FAED income, how would I get into the game.
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: I'm unemployable, not able to work. I just did uh
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: based income every month, So how would I be able
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: to get into that and not injured myself nationally to
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: take care of my other financial obligation. Yeah, now that's
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: a great question. Uh, and thank you for your service.
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: So what what I what I would say, um is
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: it's similar to what I was telling Mr Eric was
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: really you know, really about you know taking money from
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: the side, right, Uh. And what happens is though when
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: you are on a fixed income, there's only two two ways,
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: right that you could or three ways to increase your
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: bottom line, you either decrease expenses, increase your income, or
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: do both things. Right, And so if you're on a
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: fixed income, what I would say is the first thing
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: is to look at your expenses and see, you know,
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: what ways that you could cut back some right? What
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: ways can you? Uh? I said? I said, what what
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: ways that you could cut back on expenses? Because as
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: you're as you're cutting back on expenses, you now make
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: you know, make way for some income and then you
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: use that income because what happens is this once you
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: cut back, and even if you're cutting back on expenses,
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: it doesn't have to be permanently. It could be temporarily.
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: So that way you can gain you know, some money
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: to invest. And while you're investing and making your money
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: work for you, and that money starts to grow. Now
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: you're building money that you have access to that you
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: could either put back into the investment and let it
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: keep growing or if you wanted to supplement that that
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: expense you can. But so so I would say start
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: with decreasing your expense. See what you know, what what
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: things you're spending money on that could potentially be decreased
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: um and then you know start to to to look
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: into investing money. And I'm gonna add this to you,
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: a lot of people don't realize that sometimes you do.
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: You don't try to invest by yourself. Get a group
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: of people together and start educating yourself. Four or five people.
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: You got fifty dollars. That means five y'all have two
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: hundred fifty dollars that can be invested invested as a group.
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: Now you're not you're investing two hundred fifty dollars. So
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: you're not investing your two hundred fifty dollars. Plus you
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: have other people doing research for you also invest in
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: their time because their fifty dollars means something to you.
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: So I would say take the advice and Ash gave you.
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: But also if you have some people start, don't get
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: in the game quick. There's no rush. What bothers me
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: about people to get a certain age. They feel like, yeah,
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta hurry up and get there. No,
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: I would give you sixty seventy eight. Take your time.
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: If you rush life right, life will in for you
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: because you're in a hurry. I am not in a
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: hurry to do nothing. I drive slow, I eat faster,
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: eat faster because I come from a big family, six sister,
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: two brothers. When you come from a big family, you
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: learned to eat fast. Brother. But I'll tell you that
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: you're you're a blessing in this conversation because you're the
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: typical person who comes in who says I don't have enough,
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: Well you do. If you have friends, if you have
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: relatives who are willing to sign a contract, don't ever
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: just getting give somebody your money. Everybody either I fired
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: my brother, find my sister. I find a lot of
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: relatives because I went down that route thought they loved me,
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: and then they didn't want to show up for work.
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: So I know what you have to do to get
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: people committed. But all I want to do is thank
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: you for calling on the show. We'll be back next week.
