[02:27] a buck 50 on eBay they're 55 bucks I think on here let's get into the show who do I have hey Scorpio what's good my brother hey how's it going Gary good man where you from I'm from San Antonio Texas amazing

[02:40] what's your question brother um So lately I just I feel like I haven't been productive enough and I feel like I'm kind of making excuses like oh I got time you know what I mean oh so you're taking the the good content

[02:55] and the Good Vibes that we talk about having time and instead of that eliminating anxiety and judgment on yourself you believe that you're concocting it into an excuse to be complacent or lazy or just not being as

[03:10] know I could be going harder in the paint I'm just not why let's break it down do do you think hard in the paint meaning like what are you trying to build your career a

[03:24] startup your personal brand like what are you what are you trying to go hard at because I could tell you right now there is nobody that goes weaker in the paint than me when I don't like what the [ __ ] I'm doing right and I think I've

[03:38] gotten good with that like I've left toxic environments I don't do anything that I'm not passionate about um so I'm doing what I love but I just I feel like I'm not going as hard cuz like you know I think I think it's like the the family

[03:51] doing it the right way or you're not going down the right path kind of deal all right so what are you doing and what family members are saying what I got I got on whatnot you know um uh I've been having fun with whatnot I'm

[04:06] actually making you know a decent money like I'm kind of just all in on whatnot right now and what are you selling uh I got like Pokemon cards I got like V friends um anything you know I go to I go to Goodwill I'll find like

[04:19] plushies and stuff you know and flip that so it's been fun and and so what do picking up the first gritty hat that's make sure you get them before they sell out uh what do you want to

[04:33] build I want to be a music producer like fulltime and I think I was like halfway into it but it like the money wasn't really there so then that's why I like pivoted and I was like okay I just got to you know find my own path or like you

[04:48] know get free I don't like clocking in 9 to5 right I got it but if you want to be a music producer are you are you making music every music every day uh every like 2 to 3 days hold on

[05:00] one second what's up S hat what's that the Hat's already live no [ __ ] the Hat's been live for a minute the [ __ ] are you jumping in here for I'm just kidding um uh SC to to me how let's let's break

[05:14] it down even further how many how many hours a day do you feel like you're working no [ __ ] don't [ __ ] don't [ __ ] me or anybody else yeah like six yeah that's [ __ ] ridiculous that not enough not enough

[05:28] six yeah six what six hours no that's not enough that's not enough to like no that's not enough I mean it is let me let me say it a different way six is enough if you want to make $3 to $50,000

[05:45] a year there's probably some sort of path to six and of course people that AI agents and efficient you can work one hour a day and make a lot of money I mean like anything's possible but the way you deliver the six

[06:00] like did not like I think you're you're right the question is I also think you might be using the Judgment of your family as an excuse as well and let me say something completely left fielded like you don't need to

[06:14] build an Empire like let me ask you a different question altogether are you different question altogether are you happy yeah like 98% well 98% is about [ __ ] 60% more than most people on Earth I'm lucky I'm very very lucky yeah

[06:30] this down I mean there's a lot of different things here how old are you 25 so there's 100 different Dynamics in play in this call one you do have time like you could work 6 hours and like be 98 like I promise you that 100% of Earth

[06:48] would probably sign up for working 6 hours a day and being 98% happy and that's the beauty of being 20 [ __ ] 5 years old in a lot of ways like you know but but I don't fully believe you does that make sense like I meaning like like

[07:02] not that I don't believe you I feel what I feel intuitively on this call is you intuitively feel like this is not sustainable like you can't like what you're doing now eventually this you won't be 98% happy you'll be 9.8% happy

[07:16] and you're probably trying to ponder a strategy to eliminate that vulnerability yes no kind of yeah I want to Pivot back into music production like I was but I wasn't making as as much as I'm making on whatnot if that makes sense

[07:30] yes and I think what also makes sense is if you're do you feel like you're hungry and ambitious or no I'm pretty hungry yeah well then yeah I don't agree with you because if you're if I'm listening to you and you're only working six hours

[07:44] a day you have the opportunity to work 10 hours a day 5 hours on whatnot and flipping and 5 hours a day on music and 10 hours a day at 25 is a piece of [ __ ] cake right and if you love them both and

[07:58] if you're 98% happy you would have the energy for that I got the energy I'm I think I think I'm just not doing it but why again like I'm like nobody in my family has done this what I'm doing so

[08:14] the [ __ ] does that have to do with anything which which one of your parents were non-supportive and kind of talk down to you my dad great that's the punchline of this whole conversation you know that

[08:28] yeah and the question becomes are you going to believe him or are you going to going to believe him or are you going to [ __ ] Stick it to him or the most healthy are you going to be empathetic that one of his parents talked in a

[08:42] negative way to him and completely disregard disregard it and live your

[08:55] that right the whole time I was just thinking like be the bigger person be the big bigger person be the bigger person feel feel bad for your dad don't feel bad for you feel bad that dad also had a circumstance you know empathy and

[09:08] compassion you knock something out dust empathy and compassion there we go empathy and compassion is an incredibly powerful thing brother instead of being mad at the toxic parent ask your you know one of the things I always rail on

[09:22] and at my vcon keynote I once famously said [ __ ] your grandparents right so I really believe in that brother like instead of being mad at your instead of being mad at your parent you can be empathetic to them you

[09:36] can learn the power of forgiveness you can learn the power of perspective it's very likely par 4 we see you brother or lady we see you in there the the way you a question mark and hopefully it's your turn and we're going to be doing lots of

[09:51] tea with Gary ve this year so we see you I'm not letting them ban you just ask your question ask it every minute or two and hopefully you'll get in Brothers so scorp I think I think you're going to have to attack this that way does that

[10:03] make sense but 6 hours is not going to get you to you know Financial Freedom or building you know that is not an ambitious number you know what I mean yeah so I need to double it 12 yeah and honestly I

[10:17] think you should attack the stat issue whether you can watch this over and over every morning and it reminds you whether you need to go even harder flipping so therapy once a week whether whether you read things listen to things like

[10:31] Community has been a positive impact on you that's been a foundation there's more to go though like I don't like I'm telling you right now the excuse that your dad you know nobody's ever done it in my family that's honestly that has

[10:46] everything that has ever happened in life has been based on someone doing something that no one in their family has ever done that's how it that's how it works you know what I mean that's a that's a [ __ ] excuse

[11:00] that makes sense appreciate you Gary love you brother stay well all right to remind everybody if you've I know a lot of you the gritty hats are now out this and the blue are now in the do we only have the

[11:16] pining the blue the blue and the white hats are now available they're 55 bucks uh here if you've never bought anything in the history of whatnot use the code that's pinned which is no longer pinned um where was it I saw a Pinn SHP someone

[11:31] uh there's a Code if there it is if you've in the shopping cart right here code vf15 it will take $15 off if you've never bought anything you'll get it for 40 as a lot of you know I'll show you

[11:44] right here on eBay these hats go crazy we just launched them yesterday and they flip they flip heavy as you could see they sell they sell on the bay I mean this

[11:59] gritty hat that is right now literally right now selling for 55 bucks at the store or 40 if you've never bought anything and use the code vf15 literally sells on eBay for 130 bucks does anybody understand printing gold Mike do you

[12:15] that's a green that's not listed sold that's [ __ ] ridiculous take advantage take advantage take advantage love it here other loyal hats flipping get a hat get a hat get a hat all right

[12:28] who's next we're going to do rapid fire one oh you got rapid fire good what do you got mcken oh you got the M team way to up the production let's give a shout one second my guy Mackenzie go ahead all

[12:41] inherited your parents company but you weren't interested in the subject matter to keep their memory alive and not just sell it very successful business but you don't have the capital or credit to run it yeah that you know I think the again

[12:56] this is all ideology McKenzie like literally listen to that question they're not passionate about it and they can't financially afford to run it cuz they have no idea what the [ __ ] to do with it and literally you know one way

[13:09] to not honor your parents is to try to honor them and have that business go out of business cuz then you both [ __ ] lost you want to honor them sell the [ __ ] business take the money and build something that you're passionate

[13:22] about that would honor them more than that that if I heard that right you don't like it and you can't afford to do it the [ __ ] are we doing here the the number one issue in society the number one issue in society is people holding

[13:37] up an ideology that has no practicality in it they're holding they you don't even know if that's what your parents want they're dead and by the way as a parent let me promise you what a parent actually wants

[13:51] deep down all the [ __ ] up [ __ ] that parents do it's all grounded in one thing they just want their kid to be good they're just cling their own fears on their kids when they're [ __ ] them up get a good job don't be an

[14:03] entrepreneur but what if your kid's a [ __ ] entrepreneur clearly this kid's not an entrepreneur this kid their parents were entrepreneurs they're not an entrepreneur which is hence the question Michelle sell it sell the

[14:16] [ __ ] company take the money and do something my guy what's your name yo it's uh Prince ish well ishmail that's my name ish it's a real pleasure where you at uh so I'm in Cleveland I'm actually at work I'm on like kind of a

[14:29] break right now I love it uh just want to say I've been following you for like 10 plus years so like I've been molding myself and growing and undoing a lot of walls that was uh holding me back so feel like I'm in the middle of a wall

[14:43] right now yeah if even the way you're saying it feels good you know like the last call and I love scorp like I want to push him but with you as you're talking I can smell that we're headed in the right direction let's build on that

[14:55] talk to me yeah so I'm an artist I've been doing that at for since like 201 like 12 11 and uh I'm I'm good like I know I'm good and I'm at the place now

[15:07] where I know that's not enough so I've been leaning into my storytelling and like I've always wanted to be a film director and screenwriter so I've been learning these things taking master classes studying heavy

[15:20] taking master classes studying heavy still writing songs every day and now I'm build now like I have an event that's on March 2nd and I'm lending the storytelling to the show oh interesting so it's it's pretty cool but now I'm

[15:35] kind of like you know resources funding all this type of stuff so I'm doing it myself yep and I'm I feel like I'm in a place of just getting it's getting difficult to manage you know everything what what what's difficult your remember

[15:50] difficult is how you see it like you know so like to me literally you were going to like this going to be interesting I'm about to say something very weird I want everyone to hear it ish you were just talking and I was

[16:04] getting jealous I'm not joking I am in a point of my career V friends t with Gary ve anything I do now everyone's like oh that's going to be successful and if it's not it's be like what the [ __ ] like

[31:07] it's positive or negative I love that and what platform do you feel like is and what platform do you feel like is your most profitable platform being on after being on all of the platforms it it es and flows you know like that's

[31:21] what's so cool about day trading attention right the concept that I wrote my last book about things keep you know changing you know when I first came out the game search mattered email marketing mattered you know SEO sem then it was

[31:36] Myspace then it was Facebook you know there you know Ustream used to be huge for me uh Vine used to be important to me like things change but I think Tik Tock shop and whatnot you need to pound both of them um but Tik Tok shop why

[31:50] it's so amazing is you get discoverability yeah people just find you whereas whatnot as you're seeing you won't have an audience because you got to drive the audience right yeah but learning don't forget what learning is

[32:03] like going on and spending 3 hours on whatnot and not selling much is learning so no I'm a big believer in that like I love that you like I tell social medias and they're like well I don't want to post on there I don't want

[32:16] like what's the worst that's going to happen nobody's going to see you if you don't post but if you do post the chances of you getting discovered as a business or having organic growth the you're you're shooting you know you get

[32:29] 100% growth chance if you're posting versus not posting anything at all 100% I feel like trying to just grow my business and do that on other platforms Tik Tock shop has been my most profitable are you are you are you

[32:45] scared that Tik Tok will get banned in the next 90 days is that foundational to the question already seeing like what had just happened previously yeah that was super scary because I'm our family sole income now so that's my big driving

[32:57] force so it's like okay what are the other options how many followers do you have 105,000 followers and on Instagram a little over a thousand okay listen to me two times a day I want you

[33:11] posting on Tik Tock and I want you going live for an hour a day to just hang like I'm hanging now and tell every one of those people to follow you on Instagram yeah I feel like I have a hard time growing on Instagram like the same
