00:00I don't know if you guys know this but my very first job I was super rich like I don't want to
00:06brag or anything but I made $37,000 a year I made 37k and I thought kind of that I was like this guy
00:14I was like is it a Honda Civic or is it a Lamborghini I don't know and and it turned out
00:20pretty quickly I realized that that kind of money wasn't going to get me where I wanted to go and
00:26so I started doing a thing that I'm going to impress upon all of you guys which is an underrated
00:30truth to never take advice from somebody who hasn't actually done the thing they're giving
00:36advice on and I think the truth of the matter is we have to be kind of honest if we want to achieve
00:42big things in life and this world hates honesty they hate it they want us to sort of lie to ourselves
00:51about the small decisions every single day and we're not going to do that here in this room
00:54the truth of the matter is for a lot of us we think that we need more buddies more friends
00:59more people to support us but what we really need are allies who are going to celebrate your wins
01:04and be there for your losses this is a picture I don't know if you guys know Paul Francisco what
01:10was interesting about Paul is when I first met him I told him a dirty little secret which was at the
01:15time I worked at a big company called State Street I really hated my job you guys ever really hated your
01:20job like like the type of hate where you sit there and you wish that your life would flash forward you
01:27would get like minutes closer to death so you could leave the office you ever feel that way
01:31that's how I felt at the end I was like if I could die sooner I'd like to and I told this to Paul and
01:38it wasn't State Street's fault it was my fault I hadn't progressed right it just wasn't the right role
01:42for me and I told this to Paul and Paul changed my life because he said you're acting like a victim
01:48and nobody is enslaving you to this place that is up to you he did the opposite of what a friend does
01:55which was like yeah they suck boss is awful it's go girl and instead he was like it's your fault what
02:02are you doing and he taught me this lesson which is winners don't whine in fact you want to know how
02:10you know if somebody's going to be a winner or not do they whine do they complain are they the person
02:16that bitches about things as opposed to proposes a solution and that lesson was a tough one because
02:20Paul had to tell me that I was not the winner in that case the second lesson that I thought I'd bring
02:26is that simplicity always beats complexity this one took me a long time to realize everybody know this
02:34guy Elon Musk he's popular these days or not depends on the room you know
02:39Elon Musk is fascinating because he said a line and I twisted it slightly which is complexity
02:46impresses your peers and simplicity impresses your buyers or said a different way what's called the
02:54complexity trap and we see this all the time in corporations you guys have probably all been in a
02:59meeting where you have somebody who's talking at the head of the meeting and they say so many words
03:04and yet so few of anything of substance you guys been in a room like that because oftentimes being
03:12complex makes you sound smart and it makes you no fucking money and so I like to present this graph
03:21to my team this is called the simplicity to complexity trap and basically what you see here at the very
03:27bottom you see a single spring one function mousetrap and at the top you see one that has six
03:35components to it in life a truth about getting successful is bigger levels bigger devils and so
03:42what happens if as you guys become more successful in life let me ask Damien does it get easier to run a
03:48bigger company or does it get harder harder as you put more money in your bank account you actually have
03:53more issues my father told me a thing that always stuck with me which is I remember one night I was
03:59having a really hard time running my own business and my dad said something to me when I was having a
04:03night where I felt like nothing was going to work it was going to fail and I was a failure because of it
04:09he said you're not in the game until you've sat head in your hands dead in the night alone unsure of
04:17what to do next now you're in the game and I realized that again and again because we think that
04:23we have to be complex to win and it's not true it's a lie in order to win we have to realize we
04:29have to work longer than we want on simpler things that we want and I want to take you tactically
04:34through something for a second so Elon Musk if you can see these numbers basically at the top
04:392021 twitter 7,500 employees 2024 3,700 employees now profits have also gone down but there's a story
04:49about Elon Musk that I love that I tell my team all the time he had a group of engineers on his plane
04:55and the group of engineers said that the change in the business he needed to make in order to change
05:01I won't get into the technical nature of it but basically where they stored items was going to take
05:05them six months or a year to spin off and Elon said turn the plane around we're going to go to the
05:13storage center directly and we're going to fix the problem in 24 hours and what do you think they did
05:17they did it it's this crazy idea that we make things more complex than we need because it makes
05:25us seem needed but what this number tells me is that you can run a multi multi-billion dollar company
05:31with much fewer people than you ever think and as you start running your own business and making more
05:36money you're going to realize that the best part about running a business is the people what do you
05:41guys think the worst part about running a business is the people and so I want you to think about
05:48this idea where in my life can I make things that seem complex a lot simpler now this one I'm going
05:54to get a little personal with and I'll probably talk about something that I don't think I've ever
05:57talked about publicly before which is the truth of the matter is that we learn to fear we learn
06:05actually through what's called conditional formatting no child when they are born is actually
06:12born with this fear instinct from let's say in particular what happens from a corporate perspective
06:18and so in fact this is something that you can unlearn if in fact it was learned it's not biology
06:25and so I thought about this a lot because I was really successful later in my career I was working
06:30as a partner at a firm and I was doing really well and I had an awful boss like a truly awful boss you
06:37guys ever had one you're like yeah Tim yeah I did I had an awful boss and the boss was so bad I'm
06:44going to call him out his name is Dan and he sent me this text you guys can see it you're a part of a
06:49grand endeavor and you keep dumbing us down I hope you gained more followers this week because you didn't
06:55help the firm whoo I have saved that text for 10 years and can I just tell you the joy I get
07:06every time I look at my bank account versus that mother these days can I just tell you
07:12and the reason I want to tell you this it's not that there's anything wrong with Dan we all have
07:19moments although Dan if you want to win you will be surrounded by Dan's they will be everywhere and
07:27you have to deal with the consequences of that action in fact those who can't be controlled
07:33they are hated and if you don't think that's true just have some fun on my Twitter comments a few
07:39you guys said you follow me on Twitter Instagram anybody follow me oh yeah have a party go into my
07:44comments I mean look at some of these I think she's pregnant I'm calling it early not pregnant
07:49by the way thanks guys uh you know bullshit she's never done any of this why is she not wearing a
07:55bikini for that I put on a crop top today just for you guys usually don't do that so the moral of the
08:01story is if you're not getting a little hate you're probably not doing anything that interesting
08:05and I've taken that with me through my life and I hope you take it too and that moment that you get
08:10that Dan text the moment that your boss embarrasses you in front of everybody else the moment that
08:15you get told no that you don't win that you aren't good enough that it's not possible for you I want
08:20you to keep it I want you to keep a little screenshot of all those haters and I want you to thank them
08:26later when you get to go scoreboard bitch every time you look at your bank account there are six
08:32rules to properly handling haters scientific theory I thought we'd go through them quickly the first one is
08:39if they don't have your life who cares ignore them most of the time the people who will talk about
08:44you poorly have not achieved nearly what you have I have never had somebody hate on me who had more
08:51than me monetarily I'd never I've never had somebody who was in a relationship that was more successful
08:56than mine hate on my relationship I've never had somebody who was in better shape than me tell me I'm
09:02out of shape what does that tell you about the people who tell you poor things it is a mirror to
09:07themselves and you will have to remember that the second rule is don't feed those trolls they live
09:11under the bridge we leave them there you know I'm talking about and I think if we did that on the
09:15internet a lot more we'd have a happier place and certainly we'd probably enjoy social media a little
09:19bit more the third is you guys are the one percent and you know why you're going to win because most
09:27people don't want to do what it takes they want to do what they want most people want to look rich
09:33they don't really want to be rich most people want to look successful they're not willing to do
09:39what it takes to be successful and people won't tell you this because they're going to pat your head
09:44and tell you that you're enough and let me tell you the truth if you want to be part of the one percent
09:49there's a couple things you got to know there's a famous monk in India and and a friend of mine became
09:58very close to him I don't know if you guys know Jay Shetty he was telling me this story
10:01picturing a napkin so you have your napkin flat on your hand and each corner of the napkin is
10:07whoever's closest to you could be your best bud could be your mom your brother your sister a colleague
10:14well as you rise up what happens to those other corners of the napkin for a period they get left
10:20behind right and so it's natural that they feel this tension between you leaving them behind
10:27as you're growing but what happens if you keep lifting the napkin they rise with you don't they
10:34and so as you are on your career your trajectory of success expect your first stage to be terrible
10:43the faster you progress the more they will hate you and that is okay because at some point you
10:49lifting them up is doing something that no one else maybe in your generation has done so expect it
10:57the last is have you guys heard about what crabs do in a bucket we see this a lot actually I ran a
11:05large business for years in Latin America in almost every way America is the best country in the world
11:12for people who want to succeed we cheer people on here whatever your racial background is or your sex
11:19people in U.S. they want you to succeed by and large if you go to other countries that is actually
11:25not normal and it's a little bit like crabs in a bucket so there was a fascinating phenomenon we
11:31covered a business and looked at investing in it it was the weirdest thing I'd ever seen it was like
11:35so it was in Washington and they had these crates kind of like they're stacked on top of each other
11:41water flowing in no lids on them full of tens of thousands of crabs they are on a pier
11:47over the ocean escape is that far for tens of thousands of crabs no lids why they don't let
11:57each other get away and I think in some ways humans are not that different from crabs now we can change
12:03that we can be the few who push up and we can be the napkin that pulls but don't expect everyone else
12:11to be when you win the last is a really famous quote from have you guys read 48 laws of power
12:16really important book if you want to climb hierarchical structures this line or rule has
12:23always stuck with me careful when you outshine the master why do you think Ferrari Dan with a
12:32probably a small man complex sent me that text why do you guys think because I had outshined the
12:38master I had made him maybe not look as good by shining too bright now you could say that that
12:45was Dan's fault or you could say I actually didn't know the game I didn't realize the game we were
12:50playing and so be careful when you outshine the master you start to realize that you go wide in your 20s
12:56and you narrow as you get older and why because the one percent is constrained there's only so many people
13:03that are in it and I wish somebody had told me that when I was younger now if I could tell you one
13:08thing that would make you more money than anything else in the world it is this it is that the faster
13:12you are the more money you will make that your bank account is actually a reflection of how fast you move
13:19which is hard for me to take at times the reason why uber became a multi-billion dollar company
13:26is Travis Kalanick the founder at the time was a psychopath that's why he got pushed out
13:30but he was a psychopath in one way that was really good he created one of the first tech to
13:36service feedback loops with the speed at which he could launch cross nationally faster than the
13:43regulators could catch him and that is why they're a multi-billion dollar company and they didn't get
13:48shut down and there's lots of ways to play this game there's lots of matrices that can help you
13:53I like the urgent versus the important matrix because how many you guys get into the office every day
14:00and you're like I got top three things I need to cover today I'm going to handle those and then
14:04what happens 300 other things 300 other urgent things that are not important I was sitting with
14:11one of my mentors Bill Perkins who wrote the book Die With Zero I asked him Bill you know you're worth
14:18a lot of money you've made hundreds of millions of dollars you've given away tens of millions of
14:22dollars to charity why do you think you've been so successful and he kind of looked at me and he
14:27thought for a second and he said I move really fast by the time somebody else has thought about
14:33an idea taken it to investment committee I've already started made three mistakes and found a
14:39better way and I take this with me non-stop into every one of my businesses because the truth of the
14:45matter is most people are not that smart they just move fast they take risks and they work a lot
14:51that's kind of it and if you can find that truth where you can take a thing that is normal and
14:57compress the time to action you will win and you don't have to be smarter richer or better positioned
15:03at our company we have something called the 24 hour rule how many times have you heard somebody say
15:08yeah let's circle back on that when when do they say say it louder next week we'll circle back on that
15:16next week right super standard at my company if Tanner was in here somewhere he would tell you
15:21not allowed not allowed why next week where do we come up with that number why can't we move faster
15:28than the average person if all we do is we say let me circle back to you on that tomorrow 24 hours
15:33we don't have to be smarter better funded or anything but faster than our competitors and I took that to
15:40heart the last thing that I realized when it comes to speed to action is this truth which I'm sure you
15:47guys have heard from Peter Drucker very famous management consultant what gets measured gets
15:51managed you guys heard that before the truth of the matter is we don't do that so much right
15:55and so I like to go to the greats Jerry Seinfeld is one of the greatest comics of all time do you guys
16:02know why any ideas it's really one word Jerry Seinfeld wrote jokes and spoke jokes publicly every single
16:18day for his entire comedic career how do you keep up with a guy who every single day is doing the thing
16:26that most people only do maybe once a week on Friday or Saturday he wasn't really funnier
16:31he just had so many reps he made the competition irrelevant and the truth of the matter is that
16:37consistency beats quality every time most people are the guy on the right they prep they prep they prep
16:44they prep be the guy on the left show up do the thing that sucks repeat I thought today that I'd share
16:52one thing with you two things really one I thought I'd share with you some cheat codes that I have so one
16:58if you want these slides take a screenshot you get them I'll send them to you afterwards two I wish
17:03I knew earlier mathematically some of the businesses that have the highest success rate because the truth
17:10of the matter is even if you are the guy who shoots shit but you aren't aiming properly at the right
17:17object you're not going to win and so I wish I knew that sooner but there's an unfair advantage to being
17:22the person in the room who is the dumbest this is do we know who this is Buffett Sage Omaha one of the
17:30best investors of all time so a friend of mine had dinner with Buffett by the way this is not my friend
17:35but he was too cool to take a picture so I pulled this off the internet and plagiarized the photo but
17:40my friend had dinner with Buffett and I asked him afterwards I was like Alex how's that like like what
17:46happened Alex is a big hedge fund manager I sat on the board of his hedge fund and he's like you know
17:51the weirdest thing happened Buffett asked me all the questions and I realized I told him everything
18:00and I didn't really ask him any questions the richest man in the world at that time
18:06was being the dumbest one in the room how often are we the ones talking a lot when in fact we probably
18:13should be the ones sitting back and asking the questions and Alex taught me that in fact I remember
18:19the first time that I came to an event just like this stole a VIP badge and and I stole the VIP badge
18:26because I couldn't afford it at the time and it was sitting on a table and it was like looking at me
18:30in the eye you know and I like kind of like was getting closer to it and getting closer to it and
18:33I knew that the person had already left because I had watched them and I grabbed that bad boy and I
18:37went into a VIP room except I made a fatal flaw and the fatal flaw was everybody in the VIP room knew
18:42each other so all of a sudden you know I'm turning the badge around I'm kind of like holding it because I'm
18:46definitely not Nancy or whatever name was on that badge and as I'm in the room with all of the other
18:51VIPs they're like who are you because it was a group of CEOs I was at a CEO roundtable not a CEO I was in
18:58college and so you could imagine how much I stood out and from somewhere I don't know where like you
19:05ever hear that little voice in your head and I heard this little voice that was like I'm here to take
19:10notes on behalf of Nancy today because she can't be here and I was not in fact associated with Nancy
19:17at all and so I sat down in that room and all I did was take notes I didn't ask questions I just kind
19:25of shut up and wrote notes and it's one of the most formative moments of my life to realize you can get
19:31into the right rooms even and maybe especially when you don't deserve it one of the other lessons I
19:36learned is that when you start out when you're young you're going to do everything then as you
19:43get older you specialize in a few things this is my friend Amen who took a company from a million bucks
19:48a year in revenue to 85 million dollars and he told me a lesson that I hope you see later on
19:54which is in the beginning you're the janitor CEO of a startup equals janitor who's an owner that realizes
20:00this yes you do everything but after a period you go through a cycle it's called the generalist to
20:06specialist cycle and here's how it works the first cycle you're this you're the generalist you do
20:12everything the second cycle you hire generalists who didn't do things for you the third you hire
20:18specialists who run the generalists and finally the specialists run everything if I had learned this
20:26earlier my business would have grown faster but most of us hire generalists to do just about
20:32everything I want to talk about luck for a second so there's a concept in psychology called the luck
20:38surface area and has two components one component is the luckier you get is due to the action you take
20:45plus the amount of telling about the action that you did how many times you've been on a team and you're
20:50the one that's doing all the work but somebody else is getting all the credit has that ever happen to
20:53you the unique component of winning is this balance between doing and then being your biggest
21:01cheerleader and there's sort of four components to it so we all know typical type of luck how we think
21:06about it no ability to affect the outcome blind luck the second type of luck is from more activity it's
21:13called luck from motion so if I do more it turns out I seem to get luckier right the third is luck from
21:19awareness I'm doing more plus I'm talking about doing more which means my luck increases overall
21:25why do you guys think I won't shut up on the internet do you think it's because I want to be
21:29famous no worst thing in the world I don't shut up on the internet because when I talk about the things
21:34that I do what do I get I get more deals I get more investors I get more employees my luck surface area
21:40increases who else does this although he's not that popular these days some stuff going on with
21:45Jimmy but Mr. Beast Mr. Beast is really really rich how rich he makes about 700 million dollars a year
21:53on YouTube which is wild to me he's like kind of stuck at that 14 year old range but the reason why
22:00Mr. Beast is so rich is because Mr. Beast has put out 809 videos he has been putting out videos since he
22:10was 11 years old so he just doesn't stop and then there's this type of uniqueness that only comes
22:18along so often this type of uniqueness in luck a friend of mine Jack Butcher does anybody know who
22:25this is yeah what's fascinating about this guy is he's kind of famous in like one tiny segment of the
22:31internet Jack Butcher got famous on the internet for doing what you can see here which is kind of
22:36creating these very simplistic graphs on the internet during the NFT craze what do you think
22:42he sold this NFT for how many a million five million 69 million mother this guy has sold 104 million dollars
22:56in fake online graphic designs and nobody's mad about it people are happy because Jack knew about
23:06NFTs he knew about graphic design he knew about a movement in Twitter and he took action and as
23:11you get more successful you're going to find this unique blend of your skills aligning to success
23:20and I think what happens with this type of luck is you start attracting things to you instead of you
23:26having to chase them the last thing I want to talk about here is do a lot of people these days talk
23:31about work-life balance the truth of the matter is you guys have incredible competition today if you
23:39want to win today this is who you're competing with much love to these people I don't want to work
23:45anymore I don't want to work anymore do I have to go to work not to mention they put this on the
23:50internet do you know how hard it is to get a job after this I think it's sad in some ways because
23:58I do believe that humans were born to labor and there's dignity in it but I want you to think about
24:03this for a second because the second that you get intimidated or that you think you can't just save
24:09this screenshot just put this on your background and realize that most young people are here and
24:16that's okay for them that's their choice but that's who you're competing with because the
24:20truth of the matter is if you want to earn like the 1% you got to work like the 1% did when they
24:24were the 99% and for some reason in society we've stopped telling people that and we've lied to a
24:30generation and said that this isn't actually needed when it is when you know what I think we should be
24:35doing instead we should be realizing that we stand on the shoulders of our parents who did some crazy
24:41ass shit to get us to this country to get us the opportunity to work here and to put us in seats
24:47where my father didn't go to college I don't know uh he didn't have a chance to do that he was a
24:52carpenter and then he was a small business owner and he would never call himself an entrepreneur
24:56because that word probably it just didn't exist in his lexicon he was like I sell rocks because that's
25:02what he did he sold marble and granite but that's what he said and I think we've forgotten that this is
25:07where we come from and we got to go back to this a little bit the truth of the matter is that it is
25:13never too late so I see most people in the audience are pretty young but I wish maybe I knew when I was
25:19a little bit younger that it's never too late but you can't have regrets I didn't do a lot until I
25:25was in my 30s I was working in corporate I was growing my skill set but I didn't actually start my
25:30entrepreneurial journey until I was in my 30s so a lot of times I think kids these days think man am I
25:36going to be able to make it I'm still I'm 22 and I don't have a Bentley you're going to be fine
25:40you're going to be totally fine and the truth of the matter is I thought I had peaked at 30 and it
25:46kind of just keeps getting better also wild thing about money makes you look younger you know if you
25:52guys see my videos old school I got a different nose I bought a new bad boy I upgraded we got a whole
25:57new look and so the truth of the matter is you don't need to worry about it being too late you're
26:03going to be fine as long as you do the things now that you need to do I was too much of a wuss
26:09to leave my corporate job too scared so I had to build up my income on the side before I even left
26:14my paycheck so start wherever you are but I do want to be honest with you guys everybody see this
26:20David Beckham thing how good was this he's like be honest it's a great skit if you haven't seen it
26:26highly recommend so I'd like to be honest at the end with you guys is that okay small room we're all best
26:32buds nobody will tell anybody on the internet right all right here's the truth I think today
26:38in society we've lost our collective minds we are pointing at each other and blaming each other
26:45and we are turning ourselves into victims nobody gets to label you a victim except you do not accept
26:51this label that it is harder to be a Latina that it is harder to be a woman that it is more difficult
26:57out there that you won't get funding that you're not going to be able to make it that you know why
27:02they tell you that because energy is contagious who cares what your melanin is one way or the other
27:07I don't care I've never hired somebody because I was like melanin right in the right angle never once
27:13on my job description and I think that is more true than we ever realize and yet nobody says it
27:20you're not your race you're not your color and in fact you're something beautiful way more beautiful
27:26than any of that which is that you're a human placed here to provide dignity to work there's a
27:33there's a saying have you guys ever heard about putting red and black ants in a jar and what happens
27:39when you shake the jar so if you don't shake a jar and you put red and black ants in it you know what
27:45happens anybody not a damn thing the answer just like yeah I'm chilling you're chilling we look a
27:51little different no big deal but when you shake the jar they start ripping each other apart and so
27:57today especially for the young generation I think you got to ask who is shaking the motherfucking jar
28:04and do not let them shake yours you are yes you guys are so much more capable than I was when I was
28:12younger you're smarter you have better tools you're better educated than I have have you guys seen the
28:18olympics like in the 70s before simone biles what won an olympic medal back then it was like this this
28:25was like winning an olympic medal back then and then you see simone biles act today it's a whole different
28:31caliber and that is exactly what you guys are you guys are the simone biles you guys will be more
28:36successful than I will be but we have to push back on dudes like this who tell us capitalism is dead
28:43who tell us the american dream is dead who tell us that you can't achieve I'm going to tell you this
28:49it's not dead it is under attack and it needs a change of hands and it's asking you one thing which
28:55is to get your fingernails a little dirty one of my favorite quotes about the american dream
29:01is this it's the land where there is no ceiling on your ability no foot on your neck of progress
29:08and where man can be an owner and not owned I do think people have their foot on our necks but I do
29:15think you guys have every opportunity to win as owners so it's your chance to go and take it thank you
