1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,360
All right, ready to dive in.

2
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:02,080
Always.

3
00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:05,320
Today, we're looking at something pretty wild,

4
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:09,800
the idea of turning a simple paperclip into, well, a lot more.

5
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:11,360
I love these trading up challenges.

6
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:13,040
Me too, they're so fun to watch.

7
00:00:13,040 --> 00:00:15,920
And that's exactly what YouTuber StiggySells attempts

8
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,360
in his video, Paperclip to Rolex My Side Hustle Journey.

9
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:20,800
Oh yeah, I've seen that one.

10
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:21,720
He's great.

11
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:23,880
But we're not just watching him trade, right?

12
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:25,360
We're going deeper.

13
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,760
We'll look at his successes, sure, but also those setbacks.

14
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:30,040
Got to learn from those too.

15
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:31,040
Exactly.

16
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,560
And most importantly, what you can learn from it all.

17
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,360
I think that's the best part, figuring out

18
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:37,640
how this applies to us.

19
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:38,280
Totally.

20
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,200
So these trading up challenges, they

21
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,480
might seem new, like some internet fad.

22
00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:44,120
Yeah, you see them everywhere now.

23
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,480
But they actually use some really old ideas,

24
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:48,600
bartering, creating value, that kind of thing.

25
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,400
Stuff that's been around forever, right.

26
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:54,000
And Stevie, with his energy, his personality,

27
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,480
he brings this challenge to life.

28
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,280
He's a natural entrepreneur, that's for sure.

29
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,000
OK, so picture this.

30
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Stevie starts with one red paperclip.

31
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:02,560
What would you even trade for that?

32
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:03,000
I don't know.

33
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,680
Probably just click some papers together.

34
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:05,680
Huh, right.

35
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:10,000
But amazingly, he finds someone to swap it for a nightstand.

36
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:10,840
No way.

37
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:15,000
Then he sells the nightstand on Facebook Marketplace for $20.

38
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:15,920
Boom.

39
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:16,880
First profit.

40
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,360
See, that's what I'm talking about, using those online platform.

41
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:20,880
It's so smart.

42
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:22,800
You don't need some fancy store or anything.

43
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,520
Anyone can do this, really.

44
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:25,760
And Stevie keeps going.

45
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:30,120
He gets a TI-84 calculator for $20, flips it on eBay,

46
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:34,120
makes another profit, calculators nightstands.

47
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:35,920
You might be thinking, where's the Rolex?

48
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:36,960
Start somewhere, right?

49
00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:38,400
Exactly, we'll get there.

50
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,400
But these early trades, they're important because they

51
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:42,360
show how to start.

52
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:43,960
Like how to build that momentum.

53
00:01:43,960 --> 00:01:44,760
Yes.

54
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,400
And it's not just random luck, you know.

55
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,440
Even with those basic items, he's thinking strategically.

56
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,640
For sure, like with the TI-84, he knew those hold their value,

57
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,120
especially for students.

58
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,520
Calculated risk, high chance of return.

59
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,680
OK, so then he finds his Casio keyboard at a thrift store, $35.

60
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,240
Nice find.

61
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,880
But no power cord, no guarantee it even works.

62
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,240
He's starting to gamble a bit.

63
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,000
That's where knowing your stuff comes in.

64
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:10,360
Totally.

65
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,640
Like he knew, even if the keyboard was broken,

66
00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:15,400
maybe he could get parts, find a cheap cord.

67
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:16,640
So he could still profit.

68
00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:19,680
He turned a potential junk item into a win.

69
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,400
See, this is what's exciting, using your knowledge

70
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:23,600
to spot opportunities.

71
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:24,080
Totally.

72
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,400
And his next flip shows that even more.

73
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,880
He gets printer cartridges, a bunch of them, $80.

74
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:30,280
OK.

75
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:31,320
Sells them for $200.

76
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:32,360
Wow, nice.

77
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:33,560
How do you do that?

78
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,440
He knew that specific model.

79
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,120
It was in high demand.

80
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:38,920
And he timed to sale perfectly.

81
00:02:38,920 --> 00:02:42,800
Market awareness, understanding supply and demand, it all matters.

82
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,240
Now he's got some cash flowing.

83
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,160
So instead of one-off flips, he tries something different.

84
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,440
Buys over necklaces, creates a whole website.

85
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:50,760
Bold move.

86
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,120
Even runs ads on Snapchat to sell them.

87
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:54,600
Diversifying his approach.

88
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:55,360
Smart.

89
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,760
Got to test different things, see what works, what doesn't.

90
00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:58,080
Right.

91
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,040
It's all about testing and seeing what sticks.

92
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:00,400
Yeah.

93
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,600
But this one, not so much.

94
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,280
The necklace business, it kind of fizzles out.

95
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:06,120
Small loss.

96
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:07,040
Oh, that's a bummer.

97
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:07,840
But it's a lesson.

98
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,640
Setbacks happen, and sometimes, got to cut your losses.

99
00:03:11,640 --> 00:03:13,320
And move on.

100
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,600
But it doesn't let it stop him.

101
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,920
Next, he finds this awesome BB-8 Star Wars robot,

102
00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:22,560
a rare display piece, for $100.

103
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:23,600
OK, now we're talking.

104
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,920
And he knows instantly this thing's valuable.

105
00:03:26,920 --> 00:03:29,080
Star Wars collectibles, especially rare ones,

106
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:30,560
people go crazy for those.

107
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,080
He ends up selling it for $350.

108
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:34,080
Big profit jump.

109
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:34,600
Nice.

110
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,240
But as the flips get bigger, so do the risks.

111
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,840
He finds a unified network switch for $400.

112
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:41,340
OK.

113
00:03:41,340 --> 00:03:42,680
Flips it for $500.

114
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,920
Then a high-end calculator, $75, sells for $120.

115
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,080
Building momentum.

116
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:52,280
And he's not just randomly picking stuff, it's strategic.

117
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,760
He's choosing items with high resale value.

118
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:55,960
Understanding the market.

119
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,000
And using the right platforms to reach the right people.

120
00:03:59,000 --> 00:03:59,760
It's a system.

121
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:00,360
Absolutely.

122
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:01,480
It's like leveling up.

123
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,800
And then he does something completely different.

124
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,120
Hits up the Nike outlet, looking for shoes to resell.

125
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:07,760
Interesting.

126
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,240
Find some Ola Elias, about $3 a pair,

127
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,680
sells them online for over $75 each.

128
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:13,280
Wow.

129
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:14,320
That's a hustle.

130
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,480
Diversifying inventory, tapping into different markets.

131
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,200
It's all about keeping your eyes open and trying new things.

132
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:21,600
Opportunities are everywhere.

133
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,680
But then comes a reality check.

134
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,400
He finds this Moxie robot toy online,

135
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:33,840
buys it impulsively for $300, turns out, scam.

136
00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:35,560
And this is important for anyone, right?

137
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,080
Online trading can be risky.

138
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:38,560
You have to be so careful.

139
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,320
Research the seller, make sure the item's real

140
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,120
if a deal seems too good to be true.

141
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:44,000
Probably is.

142
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,000
Exactly.

143
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,560
Luckily, he gets his money back, thanks to his bank.

144
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:48,880
Dodged a bullet there.

145
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,960
But it shows, even with the right strategies,

146
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,000
setbacks happen.

147
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,200
You have to learn from them.

148
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,200
So he bounces back, finds tailor-made golf clubs, $600.

149
00:04:58,200 --> 00:04:58,600
OK.

150
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,000
Cleans them up, takes great photos, sells them for $950.

151
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:02,960
Solid profit.

152
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:03,600
Get your own track.

153
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,920
Then a patio set, gorgeous.

154
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,160
$1,200.

155
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,360
He negotiates the price down to $900.

156
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,000
Negotiation is a key skill.

157
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,160
You don't have to just accept the first price.

158
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,920
He sells the set for $1,500.

159
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,600
He even tries to find a car to flip, but nothing in his budget.

160
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:20,520
So new market.

161
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:20,760
Yeah.

162
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:21,360
Guitars.

163
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:22,920
Love that he's always exploring.

164
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,960
Buys one for $1,350.

165
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:27,200
Needs some repairs, though.

166
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:28,360
Costs some extra.

167
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:29,320
Delays a sale.

168
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,360
Sometimes there are hidden costs.

169
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:32,240
Delays happen.

170
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,160
And those delays hurt.

171
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,000
When he finally lists it, no one wants it.

172
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,960
$200 loss.

173
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,280
Second major setback.

174
00:05:40,280 --> 00:05:41,520
It's a tough lesson.

175
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:42,880
Not every flip's a winner.

176
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,040
But he doesn't give up.

177
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,640
Finds a sonance outdoor speaker set, $600.

178
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,840
Flips it for $1,300 within days.

179
00:05:50,840 --> 00:05:51,840
Nice comeback.

180
00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:53,360
He's back on track.

181
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,320
But then, maybe emotions take over.

182
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,120
He buys another guitar.

183
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,960
A Gibson J-45, his dream guitar.

184
00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:01,480
$1,500.

185
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:02,200
That's interesting.

186
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:03,720
Emotions playing a role.

187
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:04,400
It reminds us.

188
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:05,400
We're not just robots, right?

189
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:06,920
We have dreams, aspirations.

190
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:07,720
Definitely.

191
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,400
But those emotions can be tricky when it comes to money.

192
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,120
He manages to sell it for a profit, thankfully.

193
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,720
Then, quick flip, some moons watch watches.

194
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,560
Bought for $900, sold for $1,500.

195
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,720
He's getting really good at those quick flips.

196
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,040
And then, things get really interesting.

197
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,520
Ooh, I like where this is going.

198
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,880
He finds a PSA 10 fossil lapras,

199
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,440
first edition Pokemon card.

200
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:31,280
Now, for those who don't know, PSA grades trading cards.

201
00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:32,480
10 is perfect.

202
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:33,880
This card's super valuable.

203
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:34,720
Wow.

204
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,120
He gets it for $2,300.

205
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:37,800
That's a lot for a card.

206
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,920
But knowing those collectibles, the trends.

207
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:42,040
Can be big money.

208
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,720
He flips it for almost $400 profit.

209
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,240
Feeling confident, he goes big again.

210
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,320
An Apple Power Mac, $3,000.

211
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:52,080
He's going for it.

212
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,720
Negotiates a bit, gets it for $2,300.

213
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:55,440
High stakes.

214
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,760
Sells the Power Mac for $3,000 plus shipping.

215
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,480
His total earnings, $3,200.

216
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:02,040
Incredible.

217
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,200
From a paper clip.

218
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,480
But then, inspired by another YouTuber

219
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,920
who flips luxury watches, he decides

220
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:09,200
to try the Rolex market.

221
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:10,520
Whoa.

222
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:11,840
That's a whole different ball game.

223
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,400
Finds a Rolex oyster perpetual, $3,100.

224
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,080
Negotiates, but the seller won't budge on the price.

225
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,240
Rolex market, even small price differences matter.

226
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,960
He buys it anyway, gets it, lists it for sale.

227
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:25,880
But there's a problem.

228
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,120
It's just sitting there, no bites.

229
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:29,360
No one wants a Rolex.

230
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,280
Well, he even reaches out to that YouTuber, the one

231
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:32,040
who inspired him.

232
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:33,560
But even he's not interested.

233
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,160
Man, that's got to be tough.

234
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,320
You put all this work in, and the market's just like, nope.

235
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:42,200
It happens, even with experience, research,

236
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,560
the market can be unpredictable, especially

237
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,440
with high value stuff like that.

238
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:47,800
So what does he do?

239
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,520
Well, he's going to make a decision, right?

240
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:50,400
Cut his losses.

241
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,560
He decides to sell the Rolex for whatever he can get.

242
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:53,880
Ouch.

243
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,960
Ends up back down to $2,500.

244
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:57,240
That's rough.

245
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,960
Going from over $3,000 back to $2,500, I'd be discouraged.

246
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:03,920
It's easy to get down on yourself.

247
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:04,640
For sure.

248
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:09,320
But instead of focusing on the loss, Stevie, he steps back,

249
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:10,360
looks at the whole thing.

250
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:11,920
OK, yeah, the big picture.

251
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,800
He didn't hit that $10,000 goal, but come on.

252
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,120
He turned a paperclip into $2,500.

253
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:21,480
That's still wild, from a paperclip to used car money.

254
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,000
Massive accomplishment.

255
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,160
But it gets even better what he does with the money.

256
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:26,680
OK, now I'm really intrigued.

257
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,360
He decides to adopt a family for Christmas.

258
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:30,520
Whoa.

259
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:31,200
Wait, really?

260
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:31,880
Yeah.

261
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,120
He finds a family in need, gets a Christmas

262
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,080
from the mom, goes all out.

263
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:37,120
That's incredible.

264
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:41,160
Nintendo Switch, iPads, art supplies, board games, the works.

265
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:42,280
He's like Santa Claus.

266
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,120
Spends a whole day shopping, then four hours wrapping presents,

267
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,040
even throws in some extra cash for the mom.

268
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:48,600
OK, now I'm getting a little choked up.

269
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,040
Seeing the kids' faces when they open those gifts,

270
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:53,240
Christless.

271
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:54,040
This is amazing.

272
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,920
It shows that value creation, it's not just about money,

273
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:57,480
you know?

274
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:58,880
Right, it's about doing something good.

275
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:00,760
It's about making a positive impact,

276
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,840
using what we have to help others.

277
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,640
This whole journey, even with the tough parts,

278
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:06,920
it's really inspiring.

279
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:07,520
It is.

280
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,800
We see his hustle, his strategy, how he adapts,

281
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,240
overcomes challenges.

282
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,440
And in the end, it's his generosity,

283
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,640
that desire to help that stands out.

284
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,000
He took this paperclip challenge and turned it

285
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,840
into something more, a lesson in entrepreneurship,

286
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,120
sure, but also compassion.

287
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:28,160
OK, so as we wrap up our deep dive into Stevie's journey,

288
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,880
I think the big takeaway is this.

289
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,920
We all have a paperclip within us.

290
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:34,800
Something we can use to create value,

291
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,280
maybe not financially, but in a way that matters to us.

292
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,240
So to our listener, we leave you with this.

293
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:42,640
What's your paperclip?

294
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,160
What will your journey be?

295
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,800
We can't wait to see what amazing things you do.

296
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,920
And it doesn't have to be like making thousands of dollars,

297
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:50,520
right?

298
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,320
It's about finding those little chances in our own lives

299
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:55,520
to make a difference.

300
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:59,000
To create value in ways that mean something to us.

301
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,120
Yeah, totally.

302
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,360
Using what makes us unique.

303
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,720
OK, so let's brainstorm a bit.

304
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,560
What are some ways our listener could use this paperclip

305
00:10:08,560 --> 00:10:12,080
mentality, practical examples, that kind of thing?

306
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,200
Well, think about skills you're good at.

307
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:15,640
Maybe you could teach someone else.

308
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:16,800
Oh, that's a good one.

309
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:21,000
Like, are you a photography whiz, graphic design, coding?

310
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,920
So many people want to learn those things.

311
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:24,000
Share that knowledge.

312
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:24,840
I love that.

313
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,920
Turning your passion into something that helps others.

314
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:27,640
Exactly.

315
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,320
Or maybe you're amazing at finding vintage stuff.

316
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,640
You could curate a collection online, sell it.

317
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,080
So many people love vintage.

318
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,080
Or if you're passionate about cause,

319
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,480
use your social media skills to spread the word.

320
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,760
Raise money, volunteer.

321
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,400
Those are all great ideas.

322
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,640
It's about changing how we see things.

323
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,280
Value isn't just about money.

324
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,120
It's about making things better, even in small ways.

325
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,680
And remember, Stevie's journey, it wasn't all smooth sailing.

326
00:10:52,680 --> 00:10:56,040
He hit roadblocks, made mistakes, had to adjust.

327
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:57,000
That's life.

328
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:57,920
Totally.

329
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,560
But the key is, you got to keep going.

330
00:11:00,560 --> 00:11:03,600
Embrace those screw ups as chances to learn.

331
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,600
Like that necklace business, it didn't work out,

332
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:06,720
but it didn't stop him.

333
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:07,520
Right.

334
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,600
Each setback, it taught him something.

335
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:10,800
He got more resilient.

336
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:11,800
That's what matters.

337
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,400
And that applies to everything, not just business stuff.

338
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:15,960
So true.

339
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,960
As we wrap up our deep dive into Stevie's journey,

340
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,240
I think the message is this.

341
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,440
We all have that paperclip inside us.

342
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,760
That potential, those skills, the things we love,

343
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,800
we can use those to create something good.

344
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,920
So to our listener, what's your paperclip?

345
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:33,440
What will your journey look like?

346
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,320
We can't wait to hear about the amazing things you accomplish.

347
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:37,360
And that's our show.

348
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,040
Thanks for joining us for this deep dive.

349
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:59,560
Until next time.
