And darkness may seem like it's winning at half time. But love and brightness brightness and kindness always always wins the game when the clock strikes zero. I'm purebred entrepreneur for real for real for real like documented your favorite marvel character when i got into comics for as a reader in like seventh grade. I loved fantastic four the human torch was my guy thing i'm not a.

I'm not a big captain america guy. I'm not a big um. I'm not as big as spider man guys. Most people you know i would go with human torch.

So this is pretty crazy. I'm literally backstage at uh at brand minds in bucharest. Romania. All these years.

Later five years later and sure enough with the recession looming. The big theme for the rest of this year for everybody who's watching. This is really actually saving money so please take a step back and realize all the things that you want to accomplish. Require uh financial smarts and with everything looming.

The time to get smart. What's your name my name is eddie nice to meet you the idea is that i feel that i have something bigger inside me that wants to go out. But in the same time. I have something that is keeping me at a certain level maybe.

It's it's fear. It's overthinking. It feels like the fear of what others could say fear yeah. That's that's this at the end of the day.

The thing. I think that makes me not scared is i know that all of them don't care because their judgment. Shouldn't matter to you because you have to realize it doesn't matter to them over the last five years us human beings have gotten very good at something let me tell you what that is we in the last decade have become remarkable at blaming everyone and everything besides our own selves. It may not be fun to face the mirror and understand your shortcomings.

It's not fun for me i have plenty. But i promise you you want some anxiety to come off your chest. You want to smile a little more than worry it starts with accountability and i believe as we head into this decentralized world accountability will gain momentum and that will be good for society bucharest. I love you thank you for having me.

I think. It was a very compelling like clarity like i really liked it what do you think clarity on just like i think it helped people understand i like when i like when i feel the audience. Like learning gotcha. You know like oh right.

It's not just like a turtle with a banana up its ass. You know what i mean this is real technology. Yeah ready yep the message that i would tell the entire world if they were watching right now is never be confused hate and darkness may seem like it's winning at halftime. But love and brightness and kindness always always wins the game when the clock strikes zero everything you think that nobody else is thinking is actually true just trust yourself let me tell you what i meant there.

Because dustin asked me to you believe things. Today that most of the world doesn't i think. It's better to stick to it and see it all the way through especially when it's positive. It's just sometimes.

It's really hard to see like i would have never thought like i always wanted to be a video editor. When i was 14 like but i just was like oh. I can't be that's not gonna be a and here's my point ready for this you would be a better one yeah because if you oh man. I wish.

I have to say that i admire okay yes out of the 12 which are two of the most important things that you taught them from them of the twelve and a half parts of course you know i think when i think about the book and like how i think about the kids.

I think um accountability. The second we all decide that somebody else's fault for our unhappiness is the second we're unhappy. I want my children to be compassionate and empathetic to other human beings. Obviously they have a very different life than i did and they're very blessed and it requires them to be double compassionate and empathetic and so those are the two that stand out thank you so much how can i keep my daughter nine years old away from these dangers from the internet.

Only two things one you actually don't let her spend time on it. Which as you know is very hard because everybody in her world will be on it two. And this is the most important. The number one way to protect the child is to build their self esteem.

When a child is not insecure. They don't succumb to danger. If you make her confident in who she is that she's amazing. The way she is she will not succumb to other people and that is how she will navigate very nice thank you i'll sit right here all right.

We'll get to know each. Other. We'll talk. Yeah.
