00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,960
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the sheep get sheared podcast.

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:05,840
I'm your host Austin created my friends.

3
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:08,340
I know it's been a minute.

4
00:00:08,340 --> 00:00:11,480
I know it's been a little bit of time.

5
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:12,680
I'm not here to make excuses.

6
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:16,280
I'm here to erase the new year.

7
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:19,480
And you know what's interesting to me, my friends?

8
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:27,960
You know, the more I see content creators putting out cheesy content like the stuff on

9
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:32,400
TikTok where logic goes to die, in my opinion.

10
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,720
I don't know how people watch that, in all honesty.

11
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:41,040
Like I'm learning so much, my friends about what relationships are like right now.

12
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,640
Because I've just been in the game for short term flings for a long time.

13
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:48,080
I've never really wanted a long term relationship.

14
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:52,480
Because I moved around, I was in the military and went to college, started multiple different

15
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:53,480
jobs.

16
00:00:53,480 --> 00:00:58,200
And so I've never had the chance to really do that outside of high school, which at that

17
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:03,280
point, I was a little bit of a goofy, a little bit of a lame, I wasn't in good shape.

18
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,200
I was kind of a twig boy.

19
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,800
Anybody who knows me in real life will tell you that or anybody who wants to be a little

20
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:15,120
creepy and look up my yearbook pictures and stuff like that or look at my Instagram and

21
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:19,800
look at old pictures of me, you'll see what I'm talking about.

22
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:24,600
My friends, it's the second of the year.

23
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,960
I got the flu of all things right now.

24
00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:32,520
And I thought there was no better time to talk about what's going to come up on this

25
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,600
show in the future.

26
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:41,720
Number one, I want everybody listening to the show to know that I plan on giving you

27
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,720
more and more receipts as to what it's like in relationship, not just talking about the

28
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:50,480
down, not just talking about why it's evil and horrible and women are bad because at

29
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,120
the end of the day, that's easy content.

30
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,080
People anybody could do that.

31
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:59,600
What people can't do is give their anecdotal evidence if they're not in one, or they could

32
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:05,640
make it up and look like a fool when someone finds out the whole thing is a fraud.

33
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:11,200
My friends, some of the guys who got me into the space who started who influenced my thought

34
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:17,800
pattern from being a normie, you might call it blue pill like this, just like everybody

35
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:23,360
else, you know, what society teaches you in school and church and everything else to

36
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:28,560
the minds that I have now, not to imply that anybody who's blue pill is inferior.

37
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,080
They're not that it's have a different frame of mind and they have a different way of looking

38
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:33,960
at the world.

39
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,760
That being the case, they miss out on seeing what things really are because they're too

40
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:43,880
busy looking at what they want to be true and not what is actually in front of their

41
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:44,880
eyes.

42
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:49,520
And so that's what we're going to do this year is I'm going to tell you more.

43
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:54,080
I'm going to focus on this channel about the relationships we've been talking about.

44
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:59,440
That was the basis for the book Biblical Bachelor, which I plan to do an updated version of,

45
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:05,520
by the way, I plan on doing an updated version because my views have fundamentally changed.

46
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,720
I've just learned new things and as I learn new things, I want to give more valuable and

47
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:14,400
more updated information because that's what the show is.

48
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:21,080
I don't pretend to be like, in my opinion, CNN, Fox News, CBS, MSNBC, you know, these

49
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:28,000
these fronts for higher interests, corporate interests, big money, you name it, in my opinion,

50
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,000
I'm not like that.

51
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,000
I don't have big money.

52
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,000
I don't have an agent.

53
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,560
I don't have any of those things.

54
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,560
I'm just a guy with a microphone and who's always moving around.

55
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,360
If you look at my old videos, you'll notice that my background changes and I haven't been

56
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:44,680
able to put up a video on with the audio for a while because I've just been moving around

57
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:45,680
so much.

58
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:50,560
I haven't had a whole lot of time to really set up a studio without having to tear it all

59
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,800
down again, which means I'll probably start using my phone like, you know, the average

60
00:03:54,800 --> 00:04:03,520
TikTok thoughts, in my opinion, but you know what's interesting to me, my friends, is

61
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,960
with every new year, people like to hype up, oh, I'm going to do this this year.

62
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:08,960
I'm going to do that.

63
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,600
They don't write it down.

64
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,000
They don't really hold themselves to a higher standard.

65
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,840
And that's what I'm going to do this year for you and for myself.

66
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:21,760
And my friends, if you have any goals this year, I recommend that you stick with them,

67
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:26,720
not for me, but for yourself, because at the end of the day, we get one life.

68
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,960
As far as I know, we get one life.

69
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:34,720
And so there's no need to be complaining about what you don't have if you can obtain

70
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:35,720
it.

71
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,960
Now, it's another thing if you can't, you know, there are some things that we can't change,

72
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,800
even with modern science, how much it's advanced, we can't do it.

73
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,880
Even though we might want to, we don't have that point yet.

74
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,400
Maybe we'll get to that point at some point in the future, but not right now.

75
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:51,480
And so you got to focus on what you can control with their new year resolution.

76
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,880
If you make them, I don't people would think sorry.

77
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,720
And let me cough it a little bit because I'm sick.

78
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:02,200
I'm going to try to mute it as much as possible, but you're going to have to bear with me on

79
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:03,200
this.

80
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:08,800
If you're going to focus on a goal, make sure that you actually achieve it.

81
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:13,680
Otherwise, you're going to subconsciously tell yourself that you can't do it or that

82
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:18,840
you could have done it when you were too lazy and that's only going to make you feel more

83
00:05:18,840 --> 00:05:22,120
inferior than you already feel.

84
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,920
I know what it's like to feel like you should be farther along in your life.

85
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,640
Trust me, I know that I feel that every day of my life.

86
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:33,160
I look at people who've been in the business more than me when it comes to contracting.

87
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:37,040
I've looked at what it's like being, you know, dudes who started contact creation in 2018

88
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,440
and now they're getting the respect that they deserve because they've been doing it for

89
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,680
like seven years.

90
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:48,000
I wish I had that kind of fame and success, but I haven't put in the amount of time yet.

91
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:54,480
The show is getting like a year and a half years old at this point.

92
00:05:54,480 --> 00:06:01,720
And I haven't been as consistent as I once was because the sorry.

93
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:02,720
Sorry, I apologize.

94
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,280
I don't like to apologize for anything, but sometimes they don't apologize that I'm sick

95
00:06:06,280 --> 00:06:08,640
and do the show.

96
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:14,160
But my friends, I would encourage you on, I know it's not New Year's Day, but in this

97
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:18,440
first half of January, I recommend that you create some goals for yourself for the rest

98
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,560
of the year.

99
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,880
And your life will change whether you like it or not.

100
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,200
Let's just embrace that for two seconds.

101
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:30,120
I should embrace that because stuff happens that's outside of your control and you have

102
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:31,120
to be able to adapt.

103
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,720
That's one thing my girlfriend's not very good at.

104
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:38,240
And I'm talking to teacher is how to adjust to situation of that change because she's

105
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,080
younger than me.

106
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:44,080
And I have to take on that role, which is why a lot of older dudes and I'm not that

107
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:45,080
old.

108
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:46,280
I'm almost 25.

109
00:06:46,280 --> 00:06:50,560
So I know by like, if you're all teenagers watching the show, you probably think I'm

110
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,320
an ancient old guy.

111
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,240
But you know, because I used to think that when I was in high school, I was like anybody

112
00:06:55,240 --> 00:07:01,280
over the age of 21 was old as hell was a one of my as well been 40 in my eyes.

113
00:07:01,280 --> 00:07:04,400
There was old people that should have their lives together by like the age they were 25.

114
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:08,800
And let me tell you, I don't have my life together by 25 because I've had multiple careers

115
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,920
already by the time I'm 25.

116
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,840
As a military, I was in fast food business.

117
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,120
I've been in the roofing business.

118
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,440
I've been where else have I been?

119
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,240
I've been in the contracting business.

120
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,360
I've been into the content creation business.

121
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,560
I've been in the author and writing business.

122
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,400
I've been all doing all kinds of cryptocurrency.

123
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,680
I've been all kinds of stuff.

124
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,520
And my friends, while I'm not some old guy in my old, I mean, someone who's already

125
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,640
age of like 40 to 50 to 60.

126
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,920
But I don't think people don't think of 40 is that old.

127
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:46,040
But you know, compared to me, it's old or the same way that somebody who's 10 would probably

128
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:52,240
think I'm ancient as hell because I'm 20, almost 25, 15 years, a long time to most people.

129
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:56,680
And I say that to say that guys who are older, people often take more seriously.

130
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,400
But I'm not here to tell you something that I don't know.

131
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,760
I'm here to tell you something that I'm actively learning.

132
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:07,040
And that's the only way that we're ever going to make this through.

133
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,800
And I encourage you to share your goals in the comment section.

134
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:14,360
I encourage you to say, hey, you know what, Austin, it's good to see you back.

135
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:19,040
It's, you know, if you want to hear my goals, I'm more than happy to talk about them.

136
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,480
Because some of my goals, you might seem a little bit lofty because I'm planning on selling

137
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:28,400
a million dollars in contracting this year, which is as a rookie, I want to be a rookie

138
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,040
the year.

139
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,040
And I know a lot of other people also want that status.

140
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:33,040
But guess what?

141
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:34,720
It's not easy.

142
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:35,720
It's hard.

143
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,160
But I'm here to tell you anything that's worth doing is hard.

144
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,120
And I'll tell you a little side story because you know what?

145
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:42,840
We're with him today.

146
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,840
Just me, you listening, having our own time.

147
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:48,600
Maybe you're in the car driving somewhere.

148
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,920
Maybe you're working at your desk.

149
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:55,040
Maybe you're just trying to escape from, you know, the tail end of the holidays.

150
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:56,520
Maybe you're depressed because it's all over.

151
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,520
I don't know what's going on with you.

152
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:03,160
But what I do know is I'll tell you a story.

153
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:07,280
I just got back from a trip over the Christmas to New Year's week where I was hanging out

154
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:11,800
with my family back in California.

155
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,200
And that's my girlfriend calling me.

156
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:16,800
Hold on.

157
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,560
No, no, no, no, I'm talking to the boys.

158
00:09:19,560 --> 00:09:21,880
I'm not I'm not I'm not answering that call right now.

159
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,760
I got I got other things that I need to talk about right now.

160
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:25,760
I got to tell a story.

161
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:27,560
I'll call her back.

162
00:09:27,560 --> 00:09:33,400
But my friends, the reason I bring this story up is because a lot of us, I can tell, feel

163
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:34,400
this way.

164
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:35,400
We were surrounded.

165
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:42,000
Even if we came from wealthy families, I went to the mall in San Diego and there was tons

166
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:48,960
of very expensive cars, very expensive people, drive walking around buying things for lofty

167
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:50,880
prices with beautiful women.

168
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,040
I thought to myself, why am I not here?

169
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,080
Why in the world do I not have the things that I should have?

170
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:57,720
And you know what?

171
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:58,720
I got mad.

172
00:09:58,720 --> 00:09:59,720
I got jealous.

173
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,000
And I don't usually feel jealous, by the way.

174
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:06,600
I think jealousy is a chick thing because you're when you're envious of somebody, you're basically

175
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:11,960
telling yourself you can't get that unless you take it from them, which is the farthest

176
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:12,960
thing from the truth.

177
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:14,160
Now it's gonna be easy.

178
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:21,040
No, but it's going to take you pushing yourself past what you think is possible painfully

179
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,120
and sacrificially to get to this point that you want to be.

180
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:29,920
And I share that with you because I'm pushing myself taking all kinds of risks right now.

181
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,120
And I don't say that to give you back me on the back and say, go Austin, go.

182
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,160
No, I say that because you are not alone.

183
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,920
If you're trying to do the same thing, are doing the same thing or want to do the same

184
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:39,920
thing.

185
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:45,040
I want you to remember that you're not alone and you're in very good company.

186
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:46,040
A lot of us are like that.

187
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,040
We suffer in silence as men to the vast majority.

188
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:53,440
We grind and the women a lot of times want to stay at the finish line.

189
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,720
I was talking about my girlfriend talks to her mom every once in a while.

190
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,680
And I was I was around when she was talking to her mom and her mom was talking about how

191
00:11:00,680 --> 00:11:03,640
all you, you know, you, you should have got with him.

192
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,040
And she said it in a joking way.

193
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:10,560
Don't you know, she said it in a way that was like, Oh, you know what?

194
00:11:10,560 --> 00:11:12,560
Hold on.

195
00:11:12,560 --> 00:11:14,720
I'll finish this later.

196
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:19,240
I had to call my girlfriend, she kept blowing up my phone.

197
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:20,840
It's funny guys.

198
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,600
And I think women will agree with me on this.

199
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:36,480
As much as like equality was kind of a test, I don't understand why I don't understand

200
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:40,960
how a lot of women can go from saying that they won't like, and this is not my girlfriend.

201
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:46,920
She hasn't said this exact phrase, but like they're strong independent women.

202
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,160
And then the first thing they do, they need a man and they need someone to fix something

203
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,360
for him or whatever.

204
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,440
Or they need to know how to pump gas in your car or whatever.

205
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,080
Like it's just funny.

206
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,320
Their survival skills are so bad.

207
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,040
They do really goofy things.

208
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,080
And it's really funny to watch.

209
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:07,080
Anyways.

210
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:14,760
Oh, yeah, I was talking about my trip to the mall in California.

211
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:21,640
You know, it's really understandable if you are so unhappy with where you are.

212
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,920
Maybe you're working a job you don't like.

213
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:29,200
Maybe you're not seeing the results you want to see your boss doesn't approve or doesn't

214
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,520
appreciate you putting in extra work.

215
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,520
Or you want to move up to the next level, but you get blocked because you're part of

216
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:37,520
the bureaucracy.

217
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:44,640
And as much as you want to go out on your own, you're afraid because you don't have a safety

218
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,400
net like me.

219
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,720
I have no safety net.

220
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,400
I'm flying by the seat of my pants.

221
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,240
I get paid on commission.

222
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,760
So when I'm sick right now, I ain't got no PTO.

223
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:58,640
I don't have sick leave.

224
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,080
I don't have any of these things.

225
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:02,240
So I was sick like this.

226
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:03,240
Guess what?

227
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,880
I'm losing money.

228
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,200
I could have been out trying to get to sell jobs today, but guess what?

229
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,240
I have a hundred and forty degree fever and I'm coughing up along.

230
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:13,240
I can't go.

231
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:18,400
And I don't say that to why in sound weak.

232
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:23,200
I tell you that because you have to decide what you want.

233
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:31,000
There's the safe route and then there's the free fall route.

234
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,880
And when you're going to free fall route, you stand a lot more to lose, but you also

235
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:43,400
stand more to gain versus in the side of comfort and more security.

236
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:49,440
You have that safety net, but with that safety net comes a glass ceiling that takes you longer

237
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,160
and longer to get through.

238
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:52,720
And women will talk about how it's only them.

239
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:53,720
If I could buy it.

240
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:54,720
Oh, no.

241
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:56,360
Oh, no, it most certainly is not.

242
00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:01,200
All you gotta do is look at who hires whom and where and why and H1B visas.

243
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,080
Oh, don't get me started on that.

244
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:08,280
Oh, don't get me started on the whole thing of mostly Indian and Chinese people are getting

245
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:13,560
moved over here by tech companies and taking jobs that, you know, I've got a degree for

246
00:14:13,560 --> 00:14:20,200
my friends got degrees for and they just are taking a lot of jobs not because they're bad

247
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:27,480
people, but because the ruling class, the tech pirates, as I like to call them, the tech

248
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:36,360
pirates want more obsequious, easy labor, cheaper labor at that.

249
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,200
You're all talking to my old man.

250
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,720
And he is more in the tech world than I am right now.

251
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:49,120
And he told me that AI is a huge factor down to taking a lot of entry level jobs.

252
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:56,200
And I said, yeah, yeah, I could see that considering that experts and I hate the word experts,

253
00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:00,560
but people have been talking about this since, you know, Chot GPT came relevant and stuff

254
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:01,560
like that.

255
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:05,480
There are a lot of entry level jobs and eventually higher up higher up jobs.

256
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,280
I got to get taken by AI because they don't need time off.

257
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,400
They don't need to be trained.

258
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,400
They don't need to do any of that stuff.

259
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,920
They're just going to do their job.

260
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,440
But they were programmed to do.

261
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:23,160
And my dad told me, he said, Hey, you know what, it doesn't really affect me because

262
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:27,520
he's been in the game for years, so it doesn't really affect him as much as it affects someone

263
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,760
who's just out of college or a couple of years out of college.

264
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:35,840
That's going to cripple you because now you're competing with completely unrealistic standards.

265
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:40,800
They could spend a couple million dollars on AI instead of spending a couple million

266
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:48,680
dollars on payroll, health insurance, maternity leave, paternity leave, you know, health care,

267
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:49,680
all this stuff.

268
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:53,440
They could save money on that and they are.

269
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:54,440
I don't blame them for that.

270
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:55,440
They're not evil.

271
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,480
They were trying to make money.

272
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,640
The problem is their money affects everybody else's money.

273
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:01,640
And that's the problem.

274
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:06,200
I don't say that to make you hate anybody.

275
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:11,680
I say that because at the end of the day, we're all going back to what is it that you

276
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:12,680
want?

277
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:14,960
Do you want to start your own company?

278
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:19,640
Do you want to just play with a safer route, which I'm nothing against, by the way.

279
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,160
I hate it when guys go on the Internet and they're like, I'm an entrepreneur.

280
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,200
And if you're not an entrepreneur, you're not doing jack and you suck.

281
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:30,160
And I say, no, how can you say a thing like that?

282
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,240
Or you're stupid or you're, you know, dumb or whatever.

283
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:37,560
I think that's completely wrong, completely wrong.

284
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:42,160
I think that different people have different mindsets and different desires, especially

285
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,920
when you have a family.

286
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:50,600
You are going to go more safer route because you thought just you got loses if you lose

287
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:55,400
and you won't lose forever, but you have farther to fall than a guy who's single.

288
00:16:55,400 --> 00:17:01,880
And a lot of these guys who are entrepreneurs, you know, like me, were single or at the very

289
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:06,240
least were not married and don't have kids.

290
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:07,960
And that changes the game.

291
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:13,600
And so the reason I bring all these examples up is to how back to the principle of the

292
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:18,200
show, which is what are you wanting to do with this new year?

293
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:19,440
What are you trying to achieve?

294
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:20,440
What are you trying to do?

295
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,800
And if the answer is you don't know, then you got to fix that now because you should

296
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,280
have been thinking about it before, but there's no better time than now because the best time

297
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:29,280
was yesterday.

298
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,200
But the second best time is now.

299
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:36,000
So you should write something down that you want to achieve because of that way, you're

300
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,360
less likely to just hit a target that you're not measured.

301
00:17:39,360 --> 00:17:42,200
It's like having a dartboard somewhere on the wall.

302
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:48,040
You don't know where you don't know how big you don't know anything other than it's somewhere

303
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:49,960
on the wall that you're facing.

304
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:54,800
And you're assuming that at which point you're going to throw the dart and you have no idea

305
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,320
where you're aiming kind of just going for it.

306
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:01,280
And that's not do I even need to tell you how low the percentage is that you hit in that

307
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,280
goal?

308
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,720
Probably don't because a lot of you guys are very smart and you don't need me to spell

309
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:10,240
it out for you.

310
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:14,040
When the world turmoil or politics is only going to get worse, making no mistake about

311
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,040
it with the Muslim.

312
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:17,440
Oh, yes, did I say Muslim?

313
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:18,440
Oh, I'm sorry.

314
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:23,040
I meant the attacks in New Orleans.

315
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:26,240
You know, nobody knows who did it.

316
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,200
We want to say it's terrorism.

317
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:29,520
We don't want to say that it was a Muslim.

318
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:36,800
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, we can't say that because then we might be code as long as big.

319
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,120
Yeah, I guess what?

320
00:18:39,120 --> 00:18:40,120
I don't care.

321
00:18:40,120 --> 00:18:41,120
I don't want to say it the way it is.

322
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:44,960
And if you don't like it, go find somebody else's show who will sit there and say and

323
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:50,640
massage the facts and say, oh, well, we don't know who did it, but you know, it wasn't Muslim.

324
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:51,640
It wasn't his fault.

325
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:52,640
It was the gun.

326
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:53,640
It was the truck.

327
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:57,520
No brain like the sheep that they are and the wolf who are sitting back and they're being

328
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:01,480
like, good, good, we need to slit their throats in my estimation.

329
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:07,080
But of course, you know, I'm just a paranoid, apparently right winger, even though I'm a

330
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,200
centrist, but you know what, that's okay.

331
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:11,200
That's okay.

332
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:18,120
I bring all these different things up, my friends, to give you a thought.

333
00:19:18,120 --> 00:19:21,400
And I thought could be anything from what you want to do to what you don't want to do

334
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:22,800
to anything.

335
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,800
And it's up to you to decide what you want, how you're going to get it, and what you're

336
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:32,080
going to do next after because there's a quote from Tangled, one of my favorite Disney movies,

337
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,560
which yes, I still watch Disney from time to time.

338
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:41,400
And Rapunzel is talking to Flynn Rider, the main guy who was voiced by Zachary Levi.

339
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:46,040
And she says, you know, I've been dreaming of this moment my whole life.

340
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,360
And now that it's about to happen, I'm a little scared.

341
00:19:48,360 --> 00:19:49,360
And he says, why?

342
00:19:49,360 --> 00:19:50,880
Why are you scared?

343
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:56,400
And she says, well, because I don't know if it's going to live up to my expectations.

344
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,280
And even if it does, what am I going to do after that?

345
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,960
And he pauses.

346
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:06,080
And Flynn Rider, the guy says, well, I guess that's the good part.

347
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,600
You get to find a new dream.

348
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:12,520
And my friends, that's what every new year is.

349
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:16,840
It's an ability for you to define what goal you didn't hit last year, the ones you did,

350
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,720
and then move forward and say, do I want to rehash these goals?

351
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,600
Do I want to continue doing the same ones, different ones?

352
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,000
And that's up to you to decide.

353
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,480
My friends, you take care of yourselves.

354
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:31,440
I got to go and lose my voice because let's start coughing like crazy.

355
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:32,880
Take care of yourselves.

356
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:33,880
I'm out of here.

357
00:20:33,880 --> 00:21:01,960
Peace.
