[11:44] >> I'm feeling good.

[11:57] >> So, that's like the the >> the most tourist area in Haikou. There's like this big ass statue of like the Buddha. Not not the Buddha, but the Guanyin. Like super duper tall. It's like the Statue of Liberty, but like for

[12:10] for Haikou. And then there's a bunch of like beach there, amusement park there, play. Yeah. So, like that's the most popular And we're going to take the the the train there. And that is exactly where

[12:24] I'm quite excited to take the train, I'm quite excited to take the train, man. So, the train is at 8:20 and now it's 8:18. We just reached the train station.

[12:38] We got to go now. Morning walk up, man. I want to film videos of my trip on the I want to film videos of my trip on the train right now.

[13:09] >> All right. So, update on the vlog itself. Right now, we are on the way to Sanya. It's going to be like a 2-hour train ride. So, what we're going to do is that we're just going to talk about life, you know? Like just have some raw

[13:21] and unfiltered questions. And just going to converse about, you know, the trip so far and what's our plans and I just when we are young as well. Today is my last day here actually, right? So, yeah,

[13:35] morning. So, tomorrow is the flight back. Last day here. Going to make sure that I really enjoy every single minute here uh before I go back and then we grind for 2016.

[13:56] that no one talks about? >> I think the harder part about making a million dollars is not solving a million different problems, but saying no to a Yeah. It's like the hard part is saying no on

[14:10] a Friday night when your friends really want to hang out and you've just made your 10K a month. It's like you have the power to do it, but like, you know, you got meetings or like you have to stay in to meet a deadline or something.

[14:23] saying no to the girls, right? Saying no to the women. Like that's the hard part. And also saying no to um bad sleep, saying no to food that tastes good just so they can

[14:38] optimize every aspect of the life for the trading, for the business itself. Yeah, so it requires a lot of sacrifice for you to achieve greatness and success and I think most people like just underestimate the amount of um the

[14:52] through in order to actually get like this level of success. And it's also not just like this basic stuff, but it's also like relationships. It's like you friends, time with your family, time with your

[15:04] your your your girlfriend just so they can work on the business. Uh I think for me one that really hits home is when I actually broke up with my girlfriend about like a few years ago. Basically, what happened is that we have

[15:16] then I was just getting into the military itself. I need to come out on the weekends and on the weekends when I do come out, I just want to work on my to hang out with stuff and which is all like understandable, right? Because like

[15:30] just really don't have the time for her. So, I had to let her go, right? She's a very nice and kind girl, right? Who are Yeah, but I had to let her go and when she asked me like why I wanted to to break up with her, I told her that

[15:44] I love you, but like I really want to retire my father as soon as possible. have my cake and eat it at the same time. I must just get like obsessed on building my business, getting my trading up. That's That's one of the things that

[16:01] really hit me the most, right? It's like the level of sacrifice that you have to make in order to achieve the outside returns. >> Yeah. What about me? Well, actually I quite agree with you

[16:13] success. So, I think I one thing I want to speak about Brett is that fully Brett sacrificed a lot of things like uh like I mean, maybe I don't see I only see like one quarter of it, but then like I mean, I can see that he sacrificed a

[16:25] lot of like time for himself. Like he goes to the gym because he needs to not >> No, like both. >> Ah, okay, lah. But like or like he know him to hang out, bro. He can't hang out. Bro, you know honestly, setting up a

[16:39] meeting with Brett is like [ __ ] trying to ask a on a date or some [ __ ] bro. I don't know what it is. [ __ ] hard to meet up with Brett and then like yeah. So, he is I feel like he barely has time

[16:51] started getting better. So, back when I was in his grinding phase in army, constantly thinking. Like when you talk to him, right? His brain is not with business one. So, it's like >> What's the problem trying to I'm trying

[17:03] >> So, I think that's the sacrifice that he really made. I feel like People say that you're asking about how I feel, right? I agree with the same point as you. So, I oh uh I can sacrifice this. I can sacrifice

[17:16] Alex or some people say that. You can live You need to learn to live in the [ __ ] for like 1 to 2 to 3 to 4 years until your business business becomes but it's actually damn hard, bro. It's so hard.

[17:29] because like we just want to confirm the status quo. You know, we just want to people. >> Yeah, yeah. But yeah, I think like Yeah, I think it's not so hard to say no. I think it's hard to say

[17:42] want. >> Yeah, I think it's hard to say no if >> Yeah. >> Somebody once told me the world is going to roll me. I ain't the sharpest >> Sanya, baby.

[17:55] >> Finally here, man. I'm excited, man. I'm going to have fun today. We're going to eat good food. We're going to go to I don't know. Just just just explore all of this entire place. Let's see what Sanya has to offer to us. Oh my god,

[18:07] it's hot as [ __ ] bro. Let's go. >> Shut the [ __ ] UP, BRETT. not. Whether I did the [ __ ] bungee jumping or not. Randomly a [ __ ] bro.

[18:36] right, it would be the beach already. What the hell? >> So, basically we cannot go to the Guanyin statue like empty-handed. We

[18:51] need to ensure that we have some offerings so that they can actually bless us. So, we got incense sticks and flowers.

[19:14] >> I want them. I want them. They're going to fight. carrying these flowers, bro? >> I'm very devoted, man. >> Yeah, man. I got up so deep. It's like all of them both here. Look at

[19:30] >> Oh my god, it's quite far, bro. >> Right there. Nanshan. >> We're here. >> I see, man.

[19:43] This shows how devoted you are. Come on, you guys. Let's walk. Come on, you guys. Let's walk. >> Shut the [ __ ] up, man.

[19:58] there, and I can say, man, what's the point of being rich if you don't say of having [ __ ] you money if you don't say [ __ ] you sometimes. >> I think we can ride it. >> I can't go.

[20:24] >> Oh, bro, it goes to like the other side. It doesn't go to like the other you can't cut the process, guys. You got to show your devotion by walking

[20:36] there, man. >> It's me, bro. Forever. Be there forever. Journey of a thousand miles begins with All right, which pretty much says that like starting is the perfect condition

[20:51] because once you start, you eventually like figure things out. it's like, you know those things where it lights up the nearer you go to it, So, like, when I take the first step, the next step eventually appears, so on

[21:05] thing right here. Not just in trading, but in business, but in life as well. instead of like over optimizing everything so that you can actually start doing the thing that is necessary, right? Like it's like stop optimizing

[21:19] your environment, get your freaking matcha latte, or like shop for the perfect monitor just to start trading. Start trading, eventually you'll figure Start trading, eventually you'll figure it out.

[21:36] So Brad, in this place of holiness, do you believe in Jesus, Allah, or do you believe in Jesus, Allah, or Buddha? Honestly, like I believe there's a divine being that is

[21:51] controlling the universe. It could be Jesus, it could be finding, it could be Allah, whoever it is that is like a higher being in this the universe created from Big Bang, but then who the [ __ ] created the Big Bang?

[22:05] It's like Look at Look at Just look around you, bro. How the hell is it possible that there is no higher being? There's beautiful ocean right there. Hey, what what what? Oh. There's beautiful oceans out there. There's

[22:19] realized there's also one over there. Uh but yeah, like how can there not be like a higher being that created all of this?

[25:08] for the sun to set. Um but yeah. trip itself. But I feel fulfilled trip. It was good at the end of the day I just need to get back to work, man.

[25:23] I'm a worker, bro. I I just can't live like this simple as lifestyle right here, man. I mean see I'm getting like a phone call right now. Uh yeah, I I I I I don't know, man. Like anytime that I'm not spending working

[25:36] But at the same time, you know, like this is the year that, like I said, I life at the same time, you know, building the life resume as well. And I think this is a this was like a pretty sick trip, you know.

[25:48] lane. Like I said earlier, went to the same But now it's a completely different person. And like I'm just like grateful to be here.

[26:02] I'm just like grateful to be here. That's it, man. Hey babe, by the way, how's your crypto portfolio doing?

[26:15] Bro, so as you guys know in the previous episode, we took a huge hit. Well, we bought at around like 100K and some at 95K each. And then it dropped to like 95K each. And then it dropped to like 80K. But recently, over the past few

[26:27] days, Bitcoin has started bouncing up. Right now we are is at 92.5K, let me just quickly show you how much we are up right now. We are still down overall, though, okay? Like we are still down overall, right? Just to give you

[26:41] like gained about 32K so far this week itself. Okay, but let's see how much am I down.

[26:55] k. Bro, I'm cooked, bro. So, like Bitcoin better skyrocket in 2026, man. That's like, I don't know, 1/3 of my net But, yeah.

[27:08] Well, net worth is only 200k, I mean. 500, fine. That's like 1/3. 1/5. >> 1/10. >> 1/10. Roshay consulted me because I'm up on crypto by I think 30%.

[27:25] bro. >> [ __ ] DCA DCA DCA. thing, bro. DCA is the right thing. >> Uh and then like I told Brett, "Bro, crypto is so low. It's Why do you buy when it

[27:37] for the for the What's What's it? I was just waiting for the road to 10M video, That's like What the [ __ ] So, you sacrificed $91,000 for a road to 10M worth it." >> Honestly, I wanted to buy more when

[27:50] Bitcoin was at like 80k. But, then I realized that I already have 500k locked into like crypto. It's like that is like a huge percentage of my portfolio in total. Yeah. So, I'm like, "That's enough crypto for now. Maybe 2026 we

[28:04] dollars so that it's aligned with our stock But, so far I think the total portfolio adds up to about probably around like 2.5 mil-ish or around 2 mil.

[28:18] >> 2 mil, around 2 mil. >> Investments, stocks plus estate, then it'll be like [ __ ] three three >> Jesus Christ. Wait, I didn't know you were that rich, bro.

[28:30] Halfway there. And like I'm kind of hesitant about like portfolio right now because like I want to make sure that I'm more liquid Flow. Edge Flow is like really expensive to

[28:44] run nowadays, man. Like we got the software development cost, we got uh we developers. Uh we have to run all like the software expenses. So, I want to

[28:56] I'm very precise in terms of allocating my capital. Yeah, because it's like a 100k, I can put it it in Tesla stock, and it could return me like, let's say 15% the next year.

[29:11] But, if I put it into EthFlow, the same 100k could 10x in the same time span or >> Yeah. >> Yeah, exactly. And I Yeah, I just want to be like more wise in terms of like allocating my resources right now.

[29:25] Obviously, still going to like try to invest 100k at least every single month. Uh but, yeah, I want to be like chew a little bit more on the the business itself. >> How much do you spend on EthFlow Google?

[29:38] like if we if you exclude last month, you'll probably be like 200k. This month, total probably 300k now. And the thing founding traders if you guys saw in in the past the previous episode itself.

[29:52] Uh so, we are going for the official launch 1 month from now. Now, it's actually January 2025. And we are probably going to be in like a loss for like the remaining of this year itself. But, I just believe in this

[30:05] product so much that I just know that eventually I'm going to said, as long as you have exceptional product, your customers will market it spend my rest of my lifetime uh marketing it.

[30:19] it's my legacy project, man. Like, I just want to find one hot problem to solve and spend the rest of my life working on it. And let me do that with EthFlow. Yeah. So, I'm just okay with like, you know,

[30:34] taking it slow, you know, making sure that I'm doing it right, scaling it in at a sustainable pace. And it might not succeed in 1 year, it might not succeed in three years, but I know eventually five years, 10 years

[30:46] from now it will be like a great company. it comes to Edge Flow, man. Just focus on product and team different game that I'm getting into

[30:58] because to me, like I said earlier to you guys, I just want to make sure that I'm not complacent, not overconfident, and I keep on pushing myself. I was at my comfort zone and to me the

[31:11] thing that is so [ __ ] difficult to do, but it's so worthwhile if you focus on the customers, focus on building a great team, build a good it's just going to be worthwhile in the long term.

[31:35] >> This is your age. >> This is your age.

[31:47] >> Been a long day, quite tiring, but fun exploring Sanya. Hello, ni hao. So, we met a friend and then now he's bringing us to this night market. >> All I did was one beef stick.

[32:01] a beef stick. I was like, "Bro, you really want to give him a That day he's yeah, beef stick. So, >> No, you're getting a free ride. magic place. Yeah, Sanya night market. He's bringing us, our tour guide.

[32:33] recommendations. Except for the squid. All right, except for the squid.

[32:48] I knew I knew it sort of like a drug and it sort of makes your teeth like black >> And then like but we don't really know what it was. It felt like more like a like a fruit. It felt like a fruit. And we did the research right it's actually

[33:01] bro. And like it it's like there's a trip people stay like I don't know accuse people of some [ __ ] bro. I wanted to try this. But now I think I'll throw it away.

[33:14] >> I mean like he chewed a few times before like sitting up so like he's a little You can clearly see the side effects of like chewing this [ __ ]
