You can't win if you don't like it because somebody else likes it and they're going to outwork you. I Dat trade attention and build businesses Legacy is greater than current I know it's your first New York ComicCon In this capacity, super exciting for the company. How you feeling right off the path? just complete chaos which excites me to no end. All the energy is always going to excite.

I'm an energy person and so the fact that so many people are going to walk in and stumble into be Friends and be like what's Be friends, What's Be friends, What's Be Friends that excites me I Think what you're going to see from be friends over the next 6 to 12 months is more affirmation to the fact that this is a brand that has the Ambitions to be at the highest levels for. Scissors Shoot Oh eat it kid! I Met you at a garage sale last month. free field if you remember I'm actually here so I can buy another VRI No kidding you garage sale? yeah my man, because of you I was there to buy another V friend I got a series one gift cat and a series 2 gift cat since then. So I just want to say thank.

you Can't believe I met you man. relocating in a couple of weeks with no job man. I'm kind of like Shing right now. Yeah, definitely.

but uh, any advice, don't be scared, be patient like it's okay to live in the dirt to find happiness. You're young. you got time. Yeah, you know what I mean.

So like people, jump into too early cuz they're they're stressed. You got time. That's the answer. Appreciate that you nice to meet you Dustin both clips of rock paper scissors going to put together and then I want the whole thing to be like nobody on Tik Tok can beat me in rock paper scissors.

Let's BL that out. That'll work. What do you see in the future for social media? You know what's funny. The reason I think I have a good track record and the way you set that up is I don't like predicting I move fast when there's new stuff I taste it I watch it I analyze it and then there's a moment where I think it's crossed over intuitively and that's when I get loud I look at all technology that way.

and on the flight out here, we were working on a new book ironically about where social media is right now and I didn't realize I was on YouTube so early YouTube came out on December 15th, 2005 wine L TV was February 21st 2006 So within 2 months of YouTube being out I had a long form show and I think from that day to this day I'm proud that I'm still in the dirt in the trenches in the streets and I think I'll stay that way forever cuz that's the part that brings me the most Joy All right, let's get into it. You know, maybe I had it right with my first book. my first book subtitle of Crush. it was cashing in on your passion.

Maybe what was clear to me in my early 30s has has become again very clear to me as I get closer to 50 I Don't know how you can work hard enough to beat your competition if you don't like the thing you're doing. You can't win if you don't like it because somebody else likes it and they're going to outwork you. It's not sustainable unless you love the process. It's too hard to be an entrepreneur I know it got cool I'm a direct beneficiary of it becoming cool.

but if I could wish anything for everybody in this room as I look corner to corner besides health I would wish you self-awareness There's a lot of people say sitting in here wanting or are delusional that they're a great entrepreneur and what they really are is a great number two and a great number three. The number four at Facebook and Tesla made a lot more money than 99.9% of the number ones that started companies. Everybody's so focused on what they wish they could be that they're not paying attention to who they are. I Seriously? I Come out today.

A school teacher that teaches entrepreneurship and finance to a group of kids paid for probably about 5050 high schoolers that he teaches to come to this event. It's amazing, but where's that group of high schoolers What piece of advice? If you gave one piece of advice in high school, What? What would you tell the the high school there? They literally are sitting there thinking they they're getting close to having to have their figured out kids I got a big one for you. You know how your parents and teachers are telling you like you got to get focused, you got to figure out your you're not going to believe this. It's really funny.

None of them have their figured out All right. That's good. You guys give Round of Applause thank you San Diego Thank you the keynote koala. This token allows you to go to any keynote that I'm doing publicly in the world.

You'll have ridiculously good seating and a minimum of a 10-minute Green Room session with me before I take the stage jam with my friend Michael Ruben and helping out on this all-in challenge I'm giving away a workout with me and Bean you're going to be a guest of my podcast and I'm going to fly. You all paid plus one to three of my Keynotes Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to a special edition of the Money Mondays Podcast On the Money Mondays We talk about three core topics: How to make money, how to invest money, and how to give it away to charity. There is no better person to ask these type of questions to than the one the only. Mr Gary ve my guys I Hate when people invest in they don't understand cuz someone smart told them.

You know what? I will say for sure And this is what my number one belief is is that it's the cross-section of something you like and something you understand. I'm pretty much stuck in between I'm working for a company and painting. so are you trying to do the art full time? Competition just gets me nervous. What the do they have? Competition is fake.

There's nobody beating you, There's nobody taking your paper. That's just your insecurity. Be friends. This thing I'm trying to build this whole Comic-Con is competition and they're all further ahead than I am.

None of them are stopping me from building beend. Yeah.
