WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.960
We're in for a super treat today. I've got David

00:00:01.960 --> 00:00:06.019
Rezac on the show today, and he's got the Streamline

00:00:06.019 --> 00:00:09.199
Companies down. He's further ahead than we are

00:00:09.199 --> 00:00:11.419
in what we're building, and I'm like ultra stoked

00:00:11.419 --> 00:00:13.439
about it. So I'm going to bring him back. But

00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:15.759
before I bring him back on, as we just talked

00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:17.879
about great visions, I want to show you what.

00:00:18.379 --> 00:00:21.420
Junaid Ahmed is up to with home studio mastery.

00:00:21.699 --> 00:00:24.260
He is crushing it by building amazing podcast

00:00:24.260 --> 00:00:26.920
studios for people all throughout the US and

00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:29.140
beyond. It looks like he may have his first contract

00:00:29.140 --> 00:00:31.780
overseas as well. Check out what Junaid's building.

00:00:31.859 --> 00:00:33.719
If you want to build a phenomenal podcast studio,

00:00:33.840 --> 00:01:01.899
I highly recommend talking to him. All right,

00:01:01.899 --> 00:01:04.340
my friends, the podcast world is taking off.

00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:06.819
And as of right now, there's so many industries

00:01:06.819 --> 00:01:09.120
where you have the opportunity to become a leader

00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:12.159
in your industry by putting a voice and media

00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:14.340
company. Ultimately, that's what a podcast studio

00:01:14.340 --> 00:01:17.000
is. And you can lead your industry to new heights

00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:18.640
and talk about all the things people need to

00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:21.840
hear to trust you as a professional in your workspace.

00:01:21.939 --> 00:01:24.200
So make sure that you have that professionality

00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:27.760
down like David does. Otherwise, you'll end up

00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:29.219
falling on your face. And we don't want that.

00:01:29.260 --> 00:01:31.180
We want all of you to be successful. create things

00:01:31.180 --> 00:01:33.180
that are truly sustainable and have the infrastructure

00:01:33.180 --> 00:01:35.579
to be able to do so. So without further ado,

00:01:35.700 --> 00:01:37.760
a little shout out to Danny Vercel, who's building

00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:40.260
the reading habit. He knows about building worldwide

00:01:40.260 --> 00:01:42.799
as well. The reading habit is a program for children

00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:45.620
to help parents inspire their children to love

00:01:45.620 --> 00:01:47.799
to read. And in a society that's stuck using

00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:50.040
chat, GBT and other things to replace education.

00:01:50.340 --> 00:01:52.219
No, no, no. We should be integrating those tools

00:01:52.219 --> 00:01:54.920
to really amplify education. And Danny is one

00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:57.200
of the best in the world. Dr. Danny Vercel. So

00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:58.599
definitely check out what he's up to. And without

00:01:58.599 --> 00:02:01.170
further ado. David, thanks for joining me on

00:02:01.170 --> 00:02:02.810
Vision Pros Live, man. This is already exciting.

00:02:03.269 --> 00:02:04.769
Thanks for having me, Jackson. We're going to

00:02:04.769 --> 00:02:08.030
have some fun. Absolutely, man. So we learned

00:02:08.030 --> 00:02:10.990
a little bit about the, you were so clear in

00:02:10.990 --> 00:02:12.490
the vision. In fact, I'm not going to ask where

00:02:12.490 --> 00:02:14.870
it came from because you already outlined that

00:02:14.870 --> 00:02:19.250
path. What I really want to dive into is maybe

00:02:19.250 --> 00:02:23.610
more of, I was going to say the story behind

00:02:23.610 --> 00:02:25.750
your why, but you also shared that too. You are

00:02:25.750 --> 00:02:29.939
efficient and effective. In addition to that,

00:02:30.020 --> 00:02:31.699
I'm going to dive into one of the questions that

00:02:31.699 --> 00:02:33.960
sometimes I refuse to ask leaders just because

00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:36.280
they're not ready for it. It's a double edged

00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:38.560
question. I think it's the most important topic

00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:42.939
we can discuss with visionaries who are servant

00:02:42.939 --> 00:02:45.000
driven because they tend to put themselves last.

00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:48.800
And so the question is, and fight it if you want

00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:53.740
to, double fold. Why do leaders hide from funding

00:02:53.740 --> 00:02:59.379
their visions and. How can leaders lean in to

00:02:59.379 --> 00:03:03.960
funding the vision? Interesting questions there.

00:03:04.340 --> 00:03:08.379
So leaders sometimes hide because they could

00:03:08.379 --> 00:03:13.539
be afraid of failure. There's so many people

00:03:13.539 --> 00:03:15.960
that make a plan, but that plan never gets off

00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:18.199
the ground. If there's no action behind that

00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:22.039
plan, all it is is a piece of paper. And when

00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:24.020
somebody may be trying something for the first

00:03:24.020 --> 00:03:27.520
time, they're hesitant. They're afraid to fail.

00:03:28.060 --> 00:03:31.319
I've been told no in my life more times than

00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:34.159
I've been told yes. And I'm successful because

00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:37.939
of that. Aerosmith, favorite song, Dream On.

00:03:38.099 --> 00:03:41.379
You have to lose to know how to win. That line

00:03:41.379 --> 00:03:44.080
resonates with me every day because I've lost.

00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:46.560
I've lost money. I've lost business partners

00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:50.360
to death. I've lost opportunities because I wasted

00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:53.639
time. But I've learned from all of that. And

00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:55.939
those have helped me. get the wins. And when

00:03:55.939 --> 00:03:59.599
the wins are greater, have greater impact than

00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:03.979
the losses, it's okay. A baseball season is 162

00:04:03.979 --> 00:04:08.800
games. Nobody's going 162 and 0. But if you win

00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:10.319
the majority of your games, you're getting into

00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:11.759
the playoffs. You're going to get a chance to

00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:13.879
play for that championship. And that's all I

00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:15.439
want to do right now is play for the championship

00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:18.279
in life. And my goal with that championship is

00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:21.079
to help others. It's not to retire a billionaire.

00:04:21.819 --> 00:04:24.160
That'd be nice. That way I can help more people.

00:04:24.339 --> 00:04:27.240
But my goal right now in that championship goal

00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:31.120
is to teach others, to give them impact, to help

00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:34.579
them build legacy wealth for their family, and

00:04:34.579 --> 00:04:37.779
to teach them philanthropic efforts as well.

00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:41.480
I serve on a board of directors as a board chairman,

00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:44.740
just came from a meeting. It serves Alzheimer's

00:04:44.740 --> 00:04:47.620
and dementia patients here in the Arizona, Phoenix

00:04:47.620 --> 00:04:51.579
Valley. And I do everything I can to be a cheerleader

00:04:51.579 --> 00:04:54.259
for that organization, to be a fundraiser, all

00:04:54.259 --> 00:04:57.500
in memory of my grandmother. And my grandmother

00:04:57.500 --> 00:04:59.500
basically raised me on the south side of Chicago.

00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:02.839
Mom was always working long hours, downtown Chicago.

00:05:03.459 --> 00:05:06.620
No father figure in my life. So it was my grandmother

00:05:06.620 --> 00:05:09.040
that instilled the loyalty, discipline, work

00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:12.100
ethic, and hard -nosed, you -gotta -get -it -done

00:05:12.100 --> 00:05:15.899
attitude. And when she ultimately passed away

00:05:15.899 --> 00:05:17.740
from dementia, she didn't even know who I was.

00:05:17.819 --> 00:05:21.120
And that impacted my life for a long time until

00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:25.819
I found this organization to cheerlead for. I

00:05:25.819 --> 00:05:28.199
can't do what they're doing on a daily basis,

00:05:28.259 --> 00:05:31.579
but all I can do is be their biggest cheerleader

00:05:31.579 --> 00:05:35.360
and promoter that I can. So that answers why

00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:38.759
leaders may be afraid to go for the funding because

00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:41.339
they're afraid of the failure. How do they lean

00:05:41.339 --> 00:05:43.720
into it? You just got to fucking do it, man.

00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:48.259
I'm okay with that. Well -placed F -bomb. Yeah.

00:05:48.660 --> 00:05:52.819
Wayne Gretzky said, you miss 100 % of the shots

00:05:52.819 --> 00:05:56.660
you don't take. That's right. You don't try.

00:05:57.000 --> 00:05:58.600
Nobody's going to come up with you with the money.

00:05:58.620 --> 00:06:01.279
Say, here, go do something with this. No. You

00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:03.079
got to get out there. You got to network. You

00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:06.319
got to talk to people. You got to express your

00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:10.350
vision. Help people understand your vision. And

00:06:10.350 --> 00:06:12.750
that's what we're doing right now since I reinvigorated

00:06:12.750 --> 00:06:15.449
my career two and a half years ago is I'm out

00:06:15.449 --> 00:06:18.350
there on a daily basis meeting people, presenting

00:06:18.350 --> 00:06:21.490
to people. I'm not selling them immediately about

00:06:21.490 --> 00:06:24.870
joining our fund. I'm advising them on how they

00:06:24.870 --> 00:06:29.589
can do what we're trying to teach them, which

00:06:29.589 --> 00:06:32.250
is get involved with real estate. Nobody knows

00:06:32.250 --> 00:06:34.810
from day one how to deal with tenants and toilets.

00:06:36.250 --> 00:06:39.290
by being a passive investor with us. We communicate

00:06:39.290 --> 00:06:42.310
with them. We handle all of the details of the

00:06:42.310 --> 00:06:44.750
whole process so that they don't have to, so

00:06:44.750 --> 00:06:47.389
they can focus on their business careers. And

00:06:47.389 --> 00:06:49.269
then what we do a couple times a year, we bring

00:06:49.269 --> 00:06:51.490
all of our investors together at one of our buildings

00:06:51.490 --> 00:06:53.709
that they own, and we call it kick the bricks.

00:06:54.129 --> 00:06:56.610
Come out here, see what you own. See what the

00:06:56.610 --> 00:06:58.490
company has done since the last time you were

00:06:58.490 --> 00:07:01.029
here. See the impact it's creating in the community.

00:07:01.970 --> 00:07:05.230
So how do you lean into your funding? Just do

00:07:05.230 --> 00:07:09.199
it. I mean, Nike, right? There it is. You just

00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:12.300
got to get off your ass and do it. That's huge.

00:07:12.579 --> 00:07:15.040
And thank you for not mincing words in the process.

00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:18.500
Stephen Bartlett recently said, and maybe he

00:07:18.500 --> 00:07:20.459
said it a lot, but I love that he said it again

00:07:20.459 --> 00:07:25.339
recently. And that is the cost of success is

00:07:25.339 --> 00:07:28.730
embarrassment. um is the is being willing to

00:07:28.730 --> 00:07:30.970
embarrass yourself you know you can't shoot three

00:07:30.970 --> 00:07:33.529
as well without shooting air balls um you know

00:07:33.529 --> 00:07:35.430
you you have to be willing to do the things you

00:07:35.430 --> 00:07:37.800
can't become a great singer without just butchering

00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:41.560
karaoke. You've got to be able to be willing

00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:43.959
to make some noise and make some mistakes in

00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:46.199
the process. And I also want to highlight one

00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:47.740
more thing about David and what he's building.

00:07:47.860 --> 00:07:50.199
And David, you probably don't spend a lot of

00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:52.379
time consuming our show and that's okay. We're

00:07:52.379 --> 00:07:54.339
builders, we're producers, not consumers, you

00:07:54.339 --> 00:07:56.740
and I. And so those of you who are consuming

00:07:56.740 --> 00:07:58.220
the show, I'm not calling you out. I'm just saying,

00:07:58.259 --> 00:08:00.079
hey, use this as an inspirational leverage to

00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:02.399
go and do it, to go to the work. But what I want

00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:05.100
to show you guys next is David's website, because

00:08:05.100 --> 00:08:08.079
there's so many people who think that the fancy

00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:11.120
is what drives the success. And this is not a

00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:14.480
backhanded compliment. This is a 100 % trophy

00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:18.180
to, no guys, he built his career and he simplified

00:08:18.180 --> 00:08:22.300
his processes and no, it's not the fancy. It's

00:08:22.300 --> 00:08:25.360
not the branding. Yes, they do have professional

00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:27.759
headshots. That's a really, really good idea

00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:30.160
to be able to help people connect with your eyes

00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:32.840
and your smile and who you actually are, but

00:08:32.840 --> 00:08:35.639
you don't need to go build a bunch of fancy stuff.

00:08:36.269 --> 00:08:39.909
Try to look the part. You need to become the

00:08:39.909 --> 00:08:43.169
part. Actually go out and be what it is you're

00:08:43.169 --> 00:08:45.529
called to be in order to lead the masses. I love

00:08:45.529 --> 00:08:47.490
one more thing that you said. You talked about,

00:08:47.529 --> 00:08:49.549
I loved all what you said, to be honest, but

00:08:49.549 --> 00:08:52.029
the billion part. You talked about maybe being

00:08:52.029 --> 00:08:53.669
a billionaire and how that's not really the goal,

00:08:53.750 --> 00:08:55.889
but the byproduct of being a billionaire is you

00:08:55.889 --> 00:08:58.929
have the assets. You have the resources that

00:08:58.929 --> 00:09:01.029
allow you to then help that many more people.

00:09:01.169 --> 00:09:03.889
And so I really appreciate the way that you're

00:09:03.889 --> 00:09:06.289
leading, David. Any final thoughts you want to

00:09:06.289 --> 00:09:10.450
share before we wrap this up? To everyone in

00:09:10.450 --> 00:09:13.330
the audience, if you have a dream, a vision,

00:09:13.490 --> 00:09:16.850
get off your ass and do it, man. You never know

00:09:16.850 --> 00:09:21.230
what's going to happen. So many businesses and

00:09:21.230 --> 00:09:23.830
careers were started at a kitchen table, in a

00:09:23.830 --> 00:09:27.620
garage. If you have an idea. Seek out help on

00:09:27.620 --> 00:09:31.259
how to make it become a reality. I didn't have

00:09:31.259 --> 00:09:33.419
that father figure in my life. I didn't have

00:09:33.419 --> 00:09:36.100
anybody teaching me how to build a business,

00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:39.019
how to incorporate a business at first. I had

00:09:39.019 --> 00:09:41.440
to figure it out on my own. And the longer I

00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:45.960
was involved in business, I obtained great mentors.

00:09:46.419 --> 00:09:49.059
Look for a mentor. Go to a networking group.

00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:51.220
I always say I want to be the dumbest person

00:09:51.220 --> 00:09:53.440
in the room. I want to go where people are smarter

00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:57.129
than me so I can learn from them. See what they

00:09:57.129 --> 00:09:59.710
did to get to the level they're at and emulate

00:09:59.710 --> 00:10:03.769
some of what they've done. So just go out and

00:10:03.769 --> 00:10:09.019
learn and do it. Mentors, mentors, mentors. Vision

00:10:09.019 --> 00:10:11.539
pros, you have over a thousand people who've

00:10:11.539 --> 00:10:13.460
been on the show that you can turn back to and

00:10:13.460 --> 00:10:15.620
say, I want them in my mentor group. You can

00:10:15.620 --> 00:10:17.340
call David. You can call me. You can reach us

00:10:17.340 --> 00:10:19.679
on Google. It's very easy these days. In the

00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:21.720
top right corner is a button that says, be our

00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:23.879
guest. You feel inspired to come on the show.

00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:25.940
You don't have to have one of the visions that's

00:10:25.940 --> 00:10:27.759
larger than life like David does. You might be

00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:29.879
at the very beginning of it. Come and join us.

00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:31.980
Come and share it. As David said, just do it.

00:10:32.059 --> 00:10:34.440

00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:37.830
