"I recently started a podcast with some of my buddies. We are currently 4 episodes in and I think it’s going well. Any advice to keeping a podcast running for a long time or general podcasting tips?"
We might have some insight on this one.

1
00:00:07.599 --> 00:00:11.679
It is funny that like, um, filming yourself, how normal it's gotten.
2
00:00:12.199 --> 00:00:16.120
And then also like creating content is
so normal. A lot of it's
3
00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:19.039
like the Gary vs and stuff who
exploded and say, hey, this is
4
00:00:19.079 --> 00:00:21.760
the easiest, cheapest way to you
know, market, which is true.
5
00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:27.199
But just seeing like everyone in the
world do it, everyone's using cap cut,
6
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:29.039
it's kind of odd to me.
Yeah, it's kind of odd to
7
00:00:29.079 --> 00:00:32.719
me because I still feel like weird
like in public or sitting down, like,
8
00:00:33.439 --> 00:00:38.439
hey, it's just talking. It's
a weird concept because you're obviously talking
9
00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:41.280
to yourself, praying someone's going to
see it. Yeah, but then to
10
00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:46.000
see what over fifty percent of people
do that now, Yeah, I saw
11
00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:51.439
a ton of people in particularly in
London, all ages. Yeah yeah,
12
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:54.960
all ages, like talking to a
camera, walking around in a public space
13
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:57.320
talking to a camera. It's like, oh good lord. Yeah, because
14
00:00:57.359 --> 00:01:03.920
I mean other social media is right, like especially Instagram started as it was
15
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:07.079
one of the first ones. I
feel like that was for the masses.
16
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:11.959
Everyone could use Instagram, but it
was the people posting were really like photographers
17
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:15.480
and like food ease. In the
early days, it was very picture based
18
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:19.040
on those content creators and everyone else
just kind of watched them or post a
19
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:23.239
random shit of your dog or your
life. Then video came about on Instagram
20
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:30.079
and that opened a can of worms
because YouTube is like a bigger commitment to
21
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:34.159
do. Yeah, and so its
podcast obviously, But so those were both
22
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:37.840
very rare until maybe twenty seventeen,
twenty eighteen, even like those that were
23
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:42.200
around for a decade before they were
popular. Yeah, where Instagram quickly went
24
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:48.079
from creator to or like specialists to
everyone's a creator. And then I think
25
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:53.840
TikTok really opened it up. Like
this is gonna sound mean, do we
26
00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:59.640
go unfiltered? God? Mean,
like anybody with no talent, no skill,
27
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:01.200
yea, and nothing to offer is
now a creator. Oh, what
28
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:05.480
you're saying is that that the barrier
to entry is low. Well, and
29
00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:07.879
it's like normalized to do that.
We're back in the day would be like
30
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:10.800
well why should I YouTube? And
like, oh, well, I YouTube
31
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:15.120
because I opened a gym and I've
been a trainer for six years and I
32
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:17.439
wanted you know, like the reason
me and Omar's stories are very similar,
33
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:21.800
like we we our paths are similar. We both like worked at gym's,
34
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:24.120
managed, gym's personal trained and now
we're going to share it to the internet,
35
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:28.039
where like, why do you TikTok? Well? Because I want to
36
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:30.719
get followers and likes like that.
You know, like there's no it's it's
37
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:35.280
ego or a monetization or both.
Yeah, there's no like and trust me,
38
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:38.879
I'd love likes and money. But
it's so like that's also a driving
39
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:44.879
force for me. But there's no
like root cause or root uh brand philosophy
40
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:47.759
of why they're doing it. There's
no yeah you know or even you doing
41
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:50.039
it? You're doing It's like,
well, I'm a coach and I'm a
42
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:53.280
high level competitor and I'm gonna share
tips and tricks and in my life and
43
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:54.439
my journey like that. I'm also
I don't have a YouTube, no,
44
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:58.400
but it would make sense for you
too. Where some like TikTok, like
45
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:00.680
you know, what do you do? We do well? I just repeated
46
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:05.039
the dance that I saw was popular, but now I work. Though they
47
00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:07.520
have a skill, I don't know
if they do. I can't dance.
48
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:09.719
I bet if you put the amount
of time I think these motherfucker's put in
49
00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:13.759
time. I don't think they're dancers. Good, Yeah it is, but
50
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:16.800
my point is just that like it's
the it's the content for everyone. Now
51
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:20.479
it's like they dance, not that
they are a dancer. That's a big
52
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:23.319
thing on TikTok too, because I
follow real dancers on TikTok. Yeah,
53
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:25.400
and it's like first they memed it
and then now they do a kind of
54
00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:29.120
serious they're like TikTok danswer, and
then someone will dance, and then they'll
55
00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:32.039
a real dancwer and then they'll dance
and you see, like the different dramatic
56
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:36.759
yeah fence, particularly someone who's a
trained dancer, who you know is you
57
00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:38.960
know, that's why when people talk
about me dancing, like bitch, I
58
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:40.759
ain't a dancer, you know,
like I'm just a fuckhead, like I've
59
00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:44.400
watched a lot of music videos,
like I'm not even I'm not even in
60
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:47.280
the scratching the surface of what a
dancer is. Definitely just a fuck Hey,
61
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:54.199
that's what you said. I feel
like we're drifting into particular, one
62
00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:58.199
particular question here. There's a couple
on podcasting. I think there's two or
63
00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:00.639
three. Oh really, he's supposed
to be sure, Yeah, there's gonna
64
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:04.240
be short short these a shorties.
Um, we can start with the one.
65
00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:09.479
I think it's the Boys, It's
Keith. I recently start a podcast
66
00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:14.199
with some of my buddies in the
Massonomics Discord, where we cover some general
67
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:17.040
topics and interview a fellow discord member. We're currently four episodes in and I
68
00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:20.600
think it's going well. Any advice
to keep podcasts running for a long time
69
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:25.879
or general podcasting jobs. Um,
you know, I used to encourage people
70
00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:29.639
to start podcasts podcasts all the time, you know, because I went any
71
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:32.519
time I felt like somebody had like
a unique voice or or you know,
72
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:35.839
they had an opportunity to turn it
into something whatever. And now I just
73
00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:42.360
tell people to just don't stop.
There's there's a lot. Why isn't too
74
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:46.759
saturated? It is saturate saturated?
Yeah that you know, the audience is
75
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:49.800
very fragmented, but no, not
in this case. This is I'm they
76
00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:54.240
have a particular built in audience for
their podcast, and so well, and
77
00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:58.439
even that like the answer of just
do what you love or chase passion,
78
00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:00.720
I don't know if I like that
answer either. I don't think that's a
79
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:03.079
great answer either. I think you
have to be thinking about like what will
80
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:08.959
people want to listen to and what
people what will people gain something from and
81
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:13.160
that what they gained is not always
you know, like well you can provide
82
00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:16.839
yeah that too, but sure,
but you know you're not always gaining like
83
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:23.480
education, information, whatever. Some
of it is just you know, chumminess.
84
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:26.199
And maybe it's just me and I'm
jaded now, but I don't think
85
00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:30.879
like the that's like a childish mentality
in the best way. I don't mean
86
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:33.920
that negative about any means. Yeah, where Like when you're a kid,
87
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:36.800
if you like, chase a passion
at eight years old, it's fun forever.
88
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:41.560
It's well, it's fun forever,
like like a music was a big
89
00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:44.160
passion of mind. So like I
got paid to play music and all this
90
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:46.319
stuff, and I always had fun, yeah always, but I was fucking
91
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:50.279
sixteen, right, everything's fun and
exciting versus school. Where Like when you're
92
00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:55.680
an adult and if you quote unquote
chase this passion, say it goes well
93
00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:58.759
or it doesn't go well, it
doesn't really matter really either way the end
94
00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:00.759
or like the middle, it's probably
not gonna be as fun as you thought,
95
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:04.160
yeah, because everything does become work, like it comes work. Yeah,
96
00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:06.439
Like like all right, so you
start, so say it goes the
97
00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:10.639
good way, right and you start
taking off, well, then you gotta
98
00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:12.879
learn how to monetize. You gotta
learn taxes, you gotta learn all this
99
00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:16.680
ship and you have to show up
to do more. And then okay,
100
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:19.720
what's the other option? Options to
the choir? Right now, I'm like
101
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:23.399
going through it. Oh, it's
everyone, it's everyone's say. The other
102
00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:25.959
option is all right, no one
listens in it tanks Right, Well,
103
00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:30.319
that's not fucking doesn't feel good,
even if you fucking love it. Eventually
104
00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:32.399
you're talking into a microphone to no
one and that's not fun either, right,
105
00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:35.319
um, Keith, These are just
my thoughts, buddy. These aren't
106
00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:40.160
towards you. These are just general. But so like, yeah, the
107
00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:43.319
advice of oh, just have fun
with it is like good, but I
108
00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:46.720
don't think it's like true. I
don't think it's true either, particularly in
109
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:53.839
podcasting, because it's very easy for
a few people who enjoy being together to
110
00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:57.399
go down a rabbit hole in a
podcast that's not interesting too many other people
111
00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:00.519
or and then and even probably won't
be interesting to you if you do it
112
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:03.920
one hundred thousand times. Correct,
Yes, we're like. I love playing
113
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:06.759
video games. It's still one of
my favorite hobbies. Although I don't have
114
00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:10.879
a lot of time for it,
and like even streaming on Twitch became like
115
00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:12.600
a job to me. I was
like, fuck, dude, I have
116
00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:14.920
to turn this on. Man,
I gotta be a funny today. Hey,
117
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:16.759
I gotta play well, it really
is, because then it turns what
118
00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:20.439
you used to love into like work, and then yeah, yeah, do
119
00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:24.000
do what you love and never work
a day in your life. People still
120
00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:27.920
say that and it's so fucking stupid. Yeah, Like I just don't agree
121
00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:30.199
because because because like I don't get
paid. The truth is, you don't
122
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:34.439
get paid to podcast. You get
paid to run advertisements and monetize through your
123
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:38.959
podcast. So like, yeah,
podcasting hypothetically could be fun, and like
124
00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:42.000
same with video games. I don't
get paid to play video games. I'm
125
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:46.879
getting paid to entertain on a live
stream and market through video games. So
126
00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:49.040
like you don't get you don't get
paid to lift weights. You get paid
127
00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:55.199
to program, show up, educate
yourself, right, Like, you don't
128
00:07:55.240 --> 00:07:58.759
get paid for what your passion is. Ever, there's always layers, so
129
00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:01.680
that's why it's just like literally not
true. And then it's just a matter
130
00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:07.959
of will you eat the bullshit to
do something you semi love or not,
131
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:13.680
because all business is the same.
That's the truth. Selling a T shirts
132
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:16.199
the same as selling a car,
which is the same as selling coffee,
133
00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:18.399
which is the same as selling a
service. Like, I mean, just
134
00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:20.279
because it turns into work doesn't mean
it's no longer a passion though. No,
135
00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:24.639
for sure, you could be passionate
about like the end philosophy goal right,
136
00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:28.480
which is like for you, like
helping people get stronger, get better,
137
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:31.679
get more confident, But the back
end is still annoying, scheduling people,
138
00:08:31.919 --> 00:08:37.440
taxes, gaining clients. Selling because
he's like, I'm willing to it,
139
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:41.159
like the pros out wigh the cons. Yeah, you'd rather do that
140
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:45.639
than sell You sit at a desk, yeah, okay, right, I
141
00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:48.399
was gonna say in nine to five, like desk job, but sell viagra
142
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:52.039
with its pharmacy. We have a
lot of pharmacy friends. Okay, your
143
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:58.080
coach, he's a diagraph sell I
don't think so. Oh so you're his
144
00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:00.600
number one? Well, I don't
know, all right, I'm not saying
145
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:03.480
I'm not saying I'm involved. I'm
not saying I'm involved. But viagra is
146
00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:07.720
a very common drug. Yeah,
and he's got you got his phone number
147
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:11.080
and your I'm just saying. I'm
just saying, Coach Viagra is saved him
148
00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:15.440
my phone. Yeah, Coach v
U given my coach a bad name.
149
00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:24.120
No. Uh, And I think
too that, Um, there's just technical
150
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:26.759
shit that that is, you know, time consumer or whatever. Like the
151
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:33.600
last episode we did with David Tao, I had a great time recording it,
152
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:37.200
and I had a lot of work
putting the video part together because it
153
00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:41.120
was you know, marrying his local
video into our our on set video.
154
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:45.559
I mean that's one of the reasons
why it's so much better when you can
155
00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:48.039
have somebody in person. Yeah,
also the flow is better. But like
156
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:52.120
he was a really really good guest. If you have a really really good
157
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:54.440
guest on a on a on a
remote, then you have a good show.
158
00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:58.840
Yeah. Um. And you know, I don't know if you keep
159
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:03.080
going with podcasting here any guests who
are not having a good day and and
160
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:07.320
and are not performers. I guess
you know, like we're at the point
161
00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:13.000
now where ten years in almost you
know we're performers where we we pull it
162
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:16.440
out. Abe's a clown pull we
pull out of our asses at this point,
163
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:20.519
and it's not known he knows how
to perform too. He's like,
164
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:24.279
why so I think so? I
mean you, I mean, you know,
165
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:28.559
I'm just charismatic. Okay, alright, all right, he's died of
166
00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:31.720
it. He's like, Okay,
tried. So either you want to you
167
00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:37.519
either have to love having the outcome, or you have of you know,
168
00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:41.240
of putting together shows that are difficult, or you have to be married to
169
00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:45.960
whatever you're getting out of it otherwise, you know, monetarily or whatever.
170
00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:48.320
I mean. And yeah, like
I'm not saying it can't be a passion
171
00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:52.559
project, Like maybe maybe it could
be. Maybe there are maybe I'm just
172
00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:56.799
wired different or all of us are
where you could just get together with the
173
00:10:56.840 --> 00:11:01.519
boys, chat at the fuck up, yeah, and not give a flying
174
00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:05.080
fuck what happens to it. Yeah, And that could be because I think
175
00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:07.879
that's like what golf is, right, Like, you turn a certain age,
176
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:09.879
you need to make an excuse to
see your friends. You need to
177
00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:13.480
make an excuse to get out of
the house. And so you golf every
178
00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:16.720
Saturday with the boys. Whether you
love golf or not, you're just chatting
179
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:18.559
it up. Yeah, you're just
chatting up. You're having a beer,
180
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:20.120
you're walking around. You got three
hours to hang with the boys. So
181
00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:24.080
if that maybe is your podcast,
then I think everyone should have a podcast,
182
00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:26.799
right, like make time for your
friends. That's cool if that's your
183
00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:31.480
time. If if you because he
he hasked about like advice for keeping it
184
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:35.159
running for a long time, and
so yeah, I think Jim put it
185
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:37.399
on the spot, like, yeah, you have to either be like in
186
00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:41.679
love with the outcome the cliche shit, be in love with the process,
187
00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:45.559
which which being in love with the
process. No one loves the process of
188
00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:50.320
anything. I think people just kind
of like progress and they like troubleshooting or
189
00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:54.600
like because that's all business and all
processes liftings like that. Businesses like that.
190
00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:58.759
It's doing the same shit over and
over a million times, even podcasting,
191
00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:01.720
and then a sting like looking back, assessing and adjusting as you go
192
00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:05.200
forward. So if you really love
that, then maybe you have a successful
193
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:09.799
podcast. Yeah. Um, depends
on how you define a success. That's
194
00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:11.320
too because he said even that he
says, going well, So if it's
195
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:15.200
going well, bro, don't listen
to us and just fucking go. Yeah.
196
00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:16.080
Yeah, you gotta learn a lot
of it on your own. Yeah,
197
00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:18.320
you have to have your own north
star and the whole thing. That's
198
00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:22.440
that's true of any anything you do, whether you get paid for it or
199
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:24.399
not. And then you just have
to go. You have to not make
200
00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:26.879
an excuse and go. I think
that's everything. Ever, it's just like
201
00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:30.799
the gym, you can things that
work well with you guys like might not
202
00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:33.840
work as well. But yeah,
and that's the same. Yeah, the
203
00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:37.080
biggest thing, he's just showing up
and doing it, because it's the same
204
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:39.600
as the gym. Like, it's
not always gonna be super exciting. You're
205
00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:41.919
not always going to be in the
mood, you're not always gonna be this,
206
00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:43.600
you're not always gonna be that.
But you gotta show up and put
207
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:45.639
out an episode every single week.
You gotta show up and you got a
208
00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:48.600
deadlift once a week. Like that's
just that's just how it goes. And
209
00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:50.759
I've said this before and I don't
get too far into it, but like
210
00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:58.120
um, in the old show,
after Mike left, all every single episode
211
00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:00.799
was fucking work. Yeah, it
was work. It was hard. It
212
00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:03.519
was really harder to create the chemistry. It was harder to be passionate about
213
00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:09.039
putting it together. And that was
the year that it made the most money.
214
00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:13.600
So that great dude, that how
you just threw under the bus.
215
00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:20.200
Lie, it wasn't It wasn't you. It was timing it it was it
216
00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:22.240
was the timing I built that I
built the bubble, right, Yeah,
217
00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:26.120
you tell yourself that it's also true. Let me just put it out there
218
00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:31.279
that I made my most amount of
money the year I left. Correct.
219
00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:35.559
Yes, they say correlation is causation, so I don't know what that means
220
00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:39.159
either. In this case, everyone
made the most amount of money when we
221
00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:41.720
split exactly, so we got back
together, so we could lose, so
222
00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:46.799
we could be broken. Does not
mean causation. And I know that I
223
00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:52.159
was making a joke. Yeah,
but for the listeners I did, I
224
00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:56.720
was still upset. Um. Yeah, I think just uh learn have fun
225
00:13:56.799 --> 00:14:01.399
with it. Um, maybe some
foundational stuff. If you guys want some
226
00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:03.600
exs and o's on the back end, you can cause drama. That would
227
00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:07.600
be great. That's great. That's
a great tip from the Viagrad dealer to
228
00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:11.639
my right. What I would do
though, just in case things do go
229
00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:13.480
good or go bad, I would
get some kind of foundational stuff in writing,
230
00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:16.279
or at least be on the same
page business wise, because that does
231
00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:20.759
m ruin friendships and ruin businesses.
Um. The same. All these cliches
232
00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:24.679
are popping up when you ask these
questions like don't do business with friends?
233
00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:26.120
And I always say, like,
what, you want to do business with
234
00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:31.559
a stranger? I don't. Yeah, Jim and I aren't friends. Yeah,
235
00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:35.679
Like, so don't do business with
any friend and don't just do business
236
00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:37.720
with friends. I would agree with
that, but um, I would much
237
00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:43.039
rather do business with someone I know
and trust than someone that's a stranger that
238
00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:46.759
I don't trust and don't know.
So I don't think every friend is good
239
00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:48.960
for business, um, but I
don't think that you should avoid friends for
240
00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:52.720
doing business. And same with podcasts. Podcast Actually I would be more likely
241
00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:54.840
to do with a stranger than a
friend. That'd be the one thing.
242
00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:58.759
But still you're writing down the foundational
stuff and so I would get some kind
243
00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:03.639
of back bone then and then otherwise
just have fun as but you can have
244
00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:05.240
fun. Sounds good, all right? Where can they find you? Abby?

259
00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:04.639
selling mic. I'm at the I've
been podcasting for nearly ten years and now
260
00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:08.360
I can't speak in English anymore.
I am at dj mcdea on all the
261
00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:11.279
social media. This show is fifty
percent Facts, where percent is a word
262
00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:15.919
in fifty is just numbers. Fifty
percent Facts is a Spreaker Prime podcast in
263
00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:21.159
association with my Heart Media on the
Obscure Celebrity Network and we'll talk to you
264
00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:21.519
next time.
1
00:00:07.599 --> 00:00:11.679
It is funny that like, um, filming yourself, how normal it's gotten.
2
00:00:12.199 --> 00:00:16.120
And then also like creating content is
so normal. A lot of it's
3
00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:19.039
like the Gary vs and stuff who
exploded and say, hey, this is
4
00:00:19.079 --> 00:00:21.760
the easiest, cheapest way to you
know, market, which is true.
5
00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:27.199
But just seeing like everyone in the
world do it, everyone's using cap cut,
6
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:29.039
it's kind of odd to me.
Yeah, it's kind of odd to
7
00:00:29.079 --> 00:00:32.719
me because I still feel like weird
like in public or sitting down, like,
8
00:00:33.439 --> 00:00:38.439
hey, it's just talking. It's
a weird concept because you're obviously talking
9
00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:41.280
to yourself, praying someone's going to
see it. Yeah, but then to
10
00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:46.000
see what over fifty percent of people
do that now, Yeah, I saw
11
00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:51.439
a ton of people in particularly in
London, all ages. Yeah yeah,
12
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:54.960
all ages, like talking to a
camera, walking around in a public space
13
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:57.320
talking to a camera. It's like, oh good lord. Yeah, because
14
00:00:57.359 --> 00:01:03.920
I mean other social media is right, like especially Instagram started as it was
15
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:07.079
one of the first ones. I
feel like that was for the masses.
16
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:11.959
Everyone could use Instagram, but it
was the people posting were really like photographers
17
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:15.480
and like food ease. In the
early days, it was very picture based
18
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:19.040
on those content creators and everyone else
just kind of watched them or post a
19
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:23.239
random shit of your dog or your
life. Then video came about on Instagram
20
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:30.079
and that opened a can of worms
because YouTube is like a bigger commitment to
21
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:34.159
do. Yeah, and so its
podcast obviously, But so those were both
22
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:37.840
very rare until maybe twenty seventeen,
twenty eighteen, even like those that were
23
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:42.200
around for a decade before they were
popular. Yeah, where Instagram quickly went
24
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:48.079
from creator to or like specialists to
everyone's a creator. And then I think
25
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:53.840
TikTok really opened it up. Like
this is gonna sound mean, do we
26
00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:59.640
go unfiltered? God? Mean,
like anybody with no talent, no skill,
27
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:01.200
yea, and nothing to offer is
now a creator. Oh, what
28
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:05.480
you're saying is that that the barrier
to entry is low. Well, and
29
00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:07.879
it's like normalized to do that.
We're back in the day would be like
30
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:10.800
well why should I YouTube? And
like, oh, well, I YouTube
31
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:15.120
because I opened a gym and I've
been a trainer for six years and I
32
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:17.439
wanted you know, like the reason
me and Omar's stories are very similar,
33
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:21.800
like we we our paths are similar. We both like worked at gym's,
34
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:24.120
managed, gym's personal trained and now
we're going to share it to the internet,
35
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:28.039
where like, why do you TikTok? Well? Because I want to
36
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:30.719
get followers and likes like that.
You know, like there's no it's it's
37
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:35.280
ego or a monetization or both.
Yeah, there's no like and trust me,
38
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:38.879
I'd love likes and money. But
it's so like that's also a driving
39
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:44.879
force for me. But there's no
like root cause or root uh brand philosophy
40
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:47.759
of why they're doing it. There's
no yeah you know or even you doing
41
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:50.039
it? You're doing It's like,
well, I'm a coach and I'm a
42
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:53.280
high level competitor and I'm gonna share
tips and tricks and in my life and
43
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:54.439
my journey like that. I'm also
I don't have a YouTube, no,
44
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:58.400
but it would make sense for you
too. Where some like TikTok, like
45
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:00.680
you know, what do you do? We do well? I just repeated
46
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:05.039
the dance that I saw was popular, but now I work. Though they
47
00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:07.520
have a skill, I don't know
if they do. I can't dance.
48
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:09.719
I bet if you put the amount
of time I think these motherfucker's put in
49
00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:13.759
time. I don't think they're dancers. Good, Yeah it is, but
50
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:16.800
my point is just that like it's
the it's the content for everyone. Now
51
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:20.479
it's like they dance, not that
they are a dancer. That's a big
52
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:23.319
thing on TikTok too, because I
follow real dancers on TikTok. Yeah,
53
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:25.400
and it's like first they memed it
and then now they do a kind of
54
00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:29.120
serious they're like TikTok danswer, and
then someone will dance, and then they'll
55
00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:32.039
a real dancwer and then they'll dance
and you see, like the different dramatic
56
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:36.759
yeah fence, particularly someone who's a
trained dancer, who you know is you
57
00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:38.960
know, that's why when people talk
about me dancing, like bitch, I
58
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:40.759
ain't a dancer, you know,
like I'm just a fuckhead, like I've
59
00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:44.400
watched a lot of music videos,
like I'm not even I'm not even in
60
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:47.280
the scratching the surface of what a
dancer is. Definitely just a fuck Hey,
61
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:54.199
that's what you said. I feel
like we're drifting into particular, one
62
00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:58.199
particular question here. There's a couple
on podcasting. I think there's two or
63
00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:00.639
three. Oh really, he's supposed
to be sure, Yeah, there's gonna
64
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:04.240
be short short these a shorties.
Um, we can start with the one.
65
00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:09.479
I think it's the Boys, It's
Keith. I recently start a podcast
66
00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:14.199
with some of my buddies in the
Massonomics Discord, where we cover some general
67
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:17.040
topics and interview a fellow discord member. We're currently four episodes in and I
68
00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:20.600
think it's going well. Any advice
to keep podcasts running for a long time
69
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:25.879
or general podcasting jobs. Um,
you know, I used to encourage people
70
00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:29.639
to start podcasts podcasts all the time, you know, because I went any
71
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:32.519
time I felt like somebody had like
a unique voice or or you know,
72
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:35.839
they had an opportunity to turn it
into something whatever. And now I just
73
00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:42.360
tell people to just don't stop.
There's there's a lot. Why isn't too
74
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:46.759
saturated? It is saturate saturated?
Yeah that you know, the audience is
75
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:49.800
very fragmented, but no, not
in this case. This is I'm they
76
00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:54.240
have a particular built in audience for
their podcast, and so well, and
77
00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:58.439
even that like the answer of just
do what you love or chase passion,
78
00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:00.720
I don't know if I like that
answer either. I don't think that's a
79
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:03.079
great answer either. I think you
have to be thinking about like what will
80
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:08.959
people want to listen to and what
people what will people gain something from and
81
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:13.160
that what they gained is not always
you know, like well you can provide
82
00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:16.839
yeah that too, but sure,
but you know you're not always gaining like
83
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:23.480
education, information, whatever. Some
of it is just you know, chumminess.
84
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:26.199
And maybe it's just me and I'm
jaded now, but I don't think
85
00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:30.879
like the that's like a childish mentality
in the best way. I don't mean
86
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:33.920
that negative about any means. Yeah, where Like when you're a kid,
87
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:36.800
if you like, chase a passion
at eight years old, it's fun forever.
88
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:41.560
It's well, it's fun forever,
like like a music was a big
89
00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:44.160
passion of mind. So like I
got paid to play music and all this
90
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:46.319
stuff, and I always had fun, yeah always, but I was fucking
91
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:50.279
sixteen, right, everything's fun and
exciting versus school. Where Like when you're
92
00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:55.680
an adult and if you quote unquote
chase this passion, say it goes well
93
00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:58.759
or it doesn't go well, it
doesn't really matter really either way the end
94
00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:00.759
or like the middle, it's probably
not gonna be as fun as you thought,
95
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:04.160
yeah, because everything does become work, like it comes work. Yeah,
96
00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:06.439
Like like all right, so you
start, so say it goes the
97
00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:10.639
good way, right and you start
taking off, well, then you gotta
98
00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:12.879
learn how to monetize. You gotta
learn taxes, you gotta learn all this
99
00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:16.680
ship and you have to show up
to do more. And then okay,
100
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:19.720
what's the other option? Options to
the choir? Right now, I'm like
101
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:23.399
going through it. Oh, it's
everyone, it's everyone's say. The other
102
00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:25.959
option is all right, no one
listens in it tanks Right, Well,
103
00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:30.319
that's not fucking doesn't feel good,
even if you fucking love it. Eventually
104
00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:32.399
you're talking into a microphone to no
one and that's not fun either, right,
105
00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:35.319
um, Keith, These are just
my thoughts, buddy. These aren't
106
00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:40.160
towards you. These are just general. But so like, yeah, the
107
00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:43.319
advice of oh, just have fun
with it is like good, but I
108
00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:46.720
don't think it's like true. I
don't think it's true either, particularly in
109
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:53.839
podcasting, because it's very easy for
a few people who enjoy being together to
110
00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:57.399
go down a rabbit hole in a
podcast that's not interesting too many other people
111
00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:00.519
or and then and even probably won't
be interesting to you if you do it
112
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:03.920
one hundred thousand times. Correct,
Yes, we're like. I love playing
113
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:06.759
video games. It's still one of
my favorite hobbies. Although I don't have
114
00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:10.879
a lot of time for it,
and like even streaming on Twitch became like
115
00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:12.600
a job to me. I was
like, fuck, dude, I have
116
00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:14.920
to turn this on. Man,
I gotta be a funny today. Hey,
117
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:16.759
I gotta play well, it really
is, because then it turns what
118
00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:20.439
you used to love into like work, and then yeah, yeah, do
119
00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:24.000
do what you love and never work
a day in your life. People still
120
00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:27.920
say that and it's so fucking stupid. Yeah, Like I just don't agree
121
00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:30.199
because because because like I don't get
paid. The truth is, you don't
122
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:34.439
get paid to podcast. You get
paid to run advertisements and monetize through your
123
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:38.959
podcast. So like, yeah,
podcasting hypothetically could be fun, and like
124
00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:42.000
same with video games. I don't
get paid to play video games. I'm
125
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:46.879
getting paid to entertain on a live
stream and market through video games. So
126
00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:49.040
like you don't get you don't get
paid to lift weights. You get paid
127
00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:55.199
to program, show up, educate
yourself, right, Like, you don't
128
00:07:55.240 --> 00:07:58.759
get paid for what your passion is. Ever, there's always layers, so
129
00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:01.680
that's why it's just like literally not
true. And then it's just a matter
130
00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:07.959
of will you eat the bullshit to
do something you semi love or not,
131
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:13.680
because all business is the same.
That's the truth. Selling a T shirts
132
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:16.199
the same as selling a car,
which is the same as selling coffee,
133
00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:18.399
which is the same as selling a
service. Like, I mean, just
134
00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:20.279
because it turns into work doesn't mean
it's no longer a passion though. No,
135
00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:24.639
for sure, you could be passionate
about like the end philosophy goal right,
136
00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:28.480
which is like for you, like
helping people get stronger, get better,
137
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:31.679
get more confident, But the back
end is still annoying, scheduling people,
138
00:08:31.919 --> 00:08:37.440
taxes, gaining clients. Selling because
he's like, I'm willing to it,
139
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:41.159
like the pros out wigh the cons. Yeah, you'd rather do that
140
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:45.639
than sell You sit at a desk, yeah, okay, right, I
141
00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:48.399
was gonna say in nine to five, like desk job, but sell viagra
142
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:52.039
with its pharmacy. We have a
lot of pharmacy friends. Okay, your
143
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:58.080
coach, he's a diagraph sell I
don't think so. Oh so you're his
144
00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:00.600
number one? Well, I don't
know, all right, I'm not saying
145
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:03.480
I'm not saying I'm involved. I'm
not saying I'm involved. But viagra is
146
00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:07.720
a very common drug. Yeah,
and he's got you got his phone number
147
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:11.080
and your I'm just saying. I'm
just saying, Coach Viagra is saved him
148
00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:15.440
my phone. Yeah, Coach v
U given my coach a bad name.
149
00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:24.120
No. Uh, And I think
too that, Um, there's just technical
150
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:26.759
shit that that is, you know, time consumer or whatever. Like the
151
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:33.600
last episode we did with David Tao, I had a great time recording it,
152
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:37.200
and I had a lot of work
putting the video part together because it
153
00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:41.120
was you know, marrying his local
video into our our on set video.
154
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:45.559
I mean that's one of the reasons
why it's so much better when you can
155
00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:48.039
have somebody in person. Yeah,
also the flow is better. But like
156
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:52.120
he was a really really good guest. If you have a really really good
157
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:54.440
guest on a on a on a
remote, then you have a good show.
158
00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:58.840
Yeah. Um. And you know, I don't know if you keep
159
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:03.080
going with podcasting here any guests who
are not having a good day and and
160
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:07.320
and are not performers. I guess
you know, like we're at the point
161
00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:13.000
now where ten years in almost you
know we're performers where we we pull it
162
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:16.440
out. Abe's a clown pull we
pull out of our asses at this point,
163
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:20.519
and it's not known he knows how
to perform too. He's like,
164
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:24.279
why so I think so? I
mean you, I mean, you know,
165
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:28.559
I'm just charismatic. Okay, alright, all right, he's died of
166
00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:31.720
it. He's like, Okay,
tried. So either you want to you
167
00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:37.519
either have to love having the outcome, or you have of you know,
168
00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:41.240
of putting together shows that are difficult, or you have to be married to
169
00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:45.960
whatever you're getting out of it otherwise, you know, monetarily or whatever.
170
00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:48.320
I mean. And yeah, like
I'm not saying it can't be a passion
171
00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:52.559
project, Like maybe maybe it could
be. Maybe there are maybe I'm just
172
00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:56.799
wired different or all of us are
where you could just get together with the
173
00:10:56.840 --> 00:11:01.519
boys, chat at the fuck up, yeah, and not give a flying
174
00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:05.080
fuck what happens to it. Yeah, And that could be because I think
175
00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:07.879
that's like what golf is, right, Like, you turn a certain age,
176
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:09.879
you need to make an excuse to
see your friends. You need to
177
00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:13.480
make an excuse to get out of
the house. And so you golf every
178
00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:16.720
Saturday with the boys. Whether you
love golf or not, you're just chatting
179
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:18.559
it up. Yeah, you're just
chatting up. You're having a beer,
180
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:20.120
you're walking around. You got three
hours to hang with the boys. So
181
00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:24.080
if that maybe is your podcast,
then I think everyone should have a podcast,
182
00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:26.799
right, like make time for your
friends. That's cool if that's your
183
00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:31.480
time. If if you because he
he hasked about like advice for keeping it
184
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:35.159
running for a long time, and
so yeah, I think Jim put it
185
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:37.399
on the spot, like, yeah, you have to either be like in
186
00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:41.679
love with the outcome the cliche shit, be in love with the process,
187
00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:45.559
which which being in love with the
process. No one loves the process of
188
00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:50.320
anything. I think people just kind
of like progress and they like troubleshooting or
189
00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:54.600
like because that's all business and all
processes liftings like that. Businesses like that.
190
00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:58.759
It's doing the same shit over and
over a million times, even podcasting,
191
00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:01.720
and then a sting like looking back, assessing and adjusting as you go
192
00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:05.200
forward. So if you really love
that, then maybe you have a successful
193
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:09.799
podcast. Yeah. Um, depends
on how you define a success. That's
194
00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:11.320
too because he said even that he
says, going well, So if it's
195
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:15.200
going well, bro, don't listen
to us and just fucking go. Yeah.
196
00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:16.080
Yeah, you gotta learn a lot
of it on your own. Yeah,
197
00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:18.320
you have to have your own north
star and the whole thing. That's
198
00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:22.440
that's true of any anything you do, whether you get paid for it or
199
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:24.399
not. And then you just have
to go. You have to not make
200
00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:26.879
an excuse and go. I think
that's everything. Ever, it's just like
201
00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:30.799
the gym, you can things that
work well with you guys like might not
202
00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:33.840
work as well. But yeah,
and that's the same. Yeah, the
203
00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:37.080
biggest thing, he's just showing up
and doing it, because it's the same
204
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:39.600
as the gym. Like, it's
not always gonna be super exciting. You're
205
00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:41.919
not always going to be in the
mood, you're not always gonna be this,
206
00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:43.600
you're not always gonna be that.
But you gotta show up and put
207
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:45.639
out an episode every single week.
You gotta show up and you got a
208
00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:48.600
deadlift once a week. Like that's
just that's just how it goes. And
209
00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:50.759
I've said this before and I don't
get too far into it, but like
210
00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:58.120
um, in the old show,
after Mike left, all every single episode
211
00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:00.799
was fucking work. Yeah, it
was work. It was hard. It
212
00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:03.519
was really harder to create the chemistry. It was harder to be passionate about
213
00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:09.039
putting it together. And that was
the year that it made the most money.
214
00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:13.600
So that great dude, that how
you just threw under the bus.
215
00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:20.200
Lie, it wasn't It wasn't you. It was timing it it was it
216
00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:22.240
was the timing I built that I
built the bubble, right, Yeah,
217
00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:26.120
you tell yourself that it's also true. Let me just put it out there
218
00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:31.279
that I made my most amount of
money the year I left. Correct.
219
00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:35.559
Yes, they say correlation is causation, so I don't know what that means
220
00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:39.159
either. In this case, everyone
made the most amount of money when we
221
00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:41.720
split exactly, so we got back
together, so we could lose, so
222
00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:46.799
we could be broken. Does not
mean causation. And I know that I
223
00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:52.159
was making a joke. Yeah,
but for the listeners I did, I
224
00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:56.720
was still upset. Um. Yeah, I think just uh learn have fun
225
00:13:56.799 --> 00:14:01.399
with it. Um, maybe some
foundational stuff. If you guys want some
226
00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:03.600
exs and o's on the back end, you can cause drama. That would
227
00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:07.600
be great. That's great. That's
a great tip from the Viagrad dealer to
228
00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:11.639
my right. What I would do
though, just in case things do go
229
00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:13.480
good or go bad, I would
get some kind of foundational stuff in writing,
230
00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:16.279
or at least be on the same
page business wise, because that does
231
00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:20.759
m ruin friendships and ruin businesses.
Um. The same. All these cliches
232
00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:24.679
are popping up when you ask these
questions like don't do business with friends?
233
00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:26.120
And I always say, like,
what, you want to do business with
234
00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:31.559
a stranger? I don't. Yeah, Jim and I aren't friends. Yeah,
235
00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:35.679
Like, so don't do business with
any friend and don't just do business
236
00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:37.720
with friends. I would agree with
that, but um, I would much
237
00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:43.039
rather do business with someone I know
and trust than someone that's a stranger that
238
00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:46.759
I don't trust and don't know.
So I don't think every friend is good
239
00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:48.960
for business, um, but I
don't think that you should avoid friends for
240
00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:52.720
doing business. And same with podcasts. Podcast Actually I would be more likely
241
00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:54.840
to do with a stranger than a
friend. That'd be the one thing.
242
00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:58.759
But still you're writing down the foundational
stuff and so I would get some kind
243
00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:03.639
of back bone then and then otherwise
just have fun as but you can have
244
00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:05.240
fun. Sounds good, all right? Where can they find you? Abby?
