On today's episode of Geary V audio experience. It's night and half time. You're worried about losing, or it's not going away, and your game hasn't started. You need to start spending time with people that are 80, 90, 100 years old.
You need context. It's really hard for me to worry about anybody in this room when you're in the first inning. When you're in the first school, what happens? The first 20 years of your life needs shit.
Look, I'm really excited to be here. Obviously with a small group, I hope you do a bunch of Q&A. I'll try to give you a little context about what I want to talk about and take it from there. It's a very frank with you.
I'm only interested in talking about something that's going to bring value to the 2030 people in this room. What I'm most excited about is that there's never been a time ever where there's been so much opportunity in the world. And I don't think people realize it, because I think people don't realize what's going on with this internet thing. Most people are here about you youngsters.
You've never known the world pre-internet. When I was 18, I still have never seen the internet in my life because I'm old. And that's how I came up. And so for me, this internet thing is changing everything.
Everything that's happening in our society. Everybody in this room, including myself, is grossly underestimating the internet. And for me, the only passion I have is how quickly can you have it consistently? Because the second you realize what the fuck that thing is, and you understand what it means, it eliminates everything that's ever happened before.
Every single thing that's happened before becomes irrelevant when you have that opportunity. Because the reality is, it's just game changing. I'll give you a quick story. This Saturday I had a new appearance, which was awesome because I'm hustling so hard that I can see how much I want.
And we had dinner and we were bouncing. And the week was going after me and grabbed me. I was like, hey, I just want to thank you. And I was like, sure, she's like, my fiance.
Didn't have a job 15 months ago. And then he saw a video you posted on YouTube. And in the last 15 months, he made $1.5 million off of $1,000 investment in buying stuff in China and selling on Amazon. And yeah, that's real good.
And it really hit me so hard because I was thinking myself, my god, between YouTube and Instagram, these things, free information, right? $1,000. And it was, I mean, if you need $15,000, that would have seen crazy. If you need $150,000, that would have changed his life.
To go from not having a job at $1,000, $1,000, to making $1.5 million in a year is just bad shit crazy. And it was not possible when I was going up for decades to mass that kind of wealth. The opportunity is ridiculous. For me, it's real simple.
I was kind of laughing. I'm sure for a lot of people in this room, you're pounding the value of education school right? But I put three or four times. I was a DNF student.
I suck at school. Like, I actually was so bad at school that I had my admin and my system reach out to my high school and get a copy of my report card. So I put on Instagram the other day. Because people confused what success looks like or how you get there.
Doesn't mean that you should look at me and not do school. It means that you feel like you're self-configured out who you are. What do you go that? What do you like?
How do you get to the place that you want to get to? And so for me, I got four days in high school. My entire career, all in gym. But I got a DNF look.
So to me, there's just 1,000 paths out there. And so for me, I'm curious about one by one, one by one. For 30 people in this room, where's their mindset? Where are they at?
Who are they listening to? What are they judging their self-worth and their ambition based on? How are they counting the points? Because when you're a youngster, you're looking at all sorts of different things.
You're being affected by all sorts of different voices. And for me, the only thing that worked, even though I was getting these in F's and all my friends, parents told me I was a loser. You know, my teachers told me I wasn't going to be anything. Even though I have stuff.
I just wasn't my own head. I knew exactly who I was. But the thing that I was willing to do was I was willing to work. And the thing that my parents taught me was not to do well.
Not to cry about it. I didn't have shit. When I rolled up on my mom when I was nine when Nintendo was popping. Because when I first broke, my mom and I knew Nintendo, she's like, I should go get it.
And so I shoveled snow. And I ripped people's flowers out of their yard and sold it back to them. She's my favorite one. She's my favorite one.
She's amazing people. But ultimately, the world doesn't care. Everybody goes up with shit. It's crazy for me to be in this room.
Just 40 hours ago, I think somebody was crying for four hours over dinner with me. Because he has $10 million in his trust fund. And he thinks that he'll never be able to be his own man. Because everybody's going to say that his grandfather put him on.
And his life is ruined. Because he has $10 million in the back. Every person in here would have just heard that's a good fuck out of here. Right?
Right? But guess what? That's his fucking thing. That's in his head.
That's his circumstances. And to be straight to the face with you, I actually think that that is scarier. Because there's nothing he can ever do to get away from the fact that he was put on like that. And everybody will judge him for life.
I genuinely believe, genuinely believe this. Give me $5 on the cell phone, but has internet. And I'm off to the races. I'll go to dollar store on five things.
I'll put my name back, $13 later. And $9.99. And so I am in place where I'm not here to rob Rauyu or make myself feel good. That I'm doing something nice.
I'm doing something nice every day. I'm here because if I'm going to be realized how ridiculous it is, how your grandparents are there in this situation. And I'm going to take it in decades. But for you, if you really put in the work to educate yourself, educating is in school.
Educating is a whole different game. And so for me, I'm here because I'm given back to the one thing that got me to the place on that. And that's hustle work. And everybody has that.
I have to have one of the million ways to do it. You need to really quantify how special this time is. It's real. And you've got two choices.
Every day of your life. You're either optimistic or your pessimists. You're either seeing what's good or you're seeing what's bad. My whole life, even when I was like in a very different place, I would always just say seven billion people.
Now it's seven seven seven seven billion people. Where do I rank? It's a mindset game. And it's real hard.
It's real hard to penetrate your mindset right now. Because where you're at in the game, it's early. My one ambition here right now is to get one person in this room to realize how much offense and how early it is in your game. I put a lot of content.
And my favorite piece of content right now because I get so many emails from 20 30 year olds who are upset, concerned, worried. And I always tell them, like, it's not even half time. It's not even half time. You're worried about losing or it's not going your way.
And your game hasn't started. If you want, if this organization can really do some good, then you just start sending you to retirement homes. And you just start sending time with people that are 80, 90, 100 years old. You need context.
It's really hard for me to worry about anybody in this room when you're in the first thing we're in the first quarter. What happens in the first 20 years of your life means shit means nothing. And to be very honest, you don't want to hear this for me, but I'm just going to tell you because it's a fucking truth. I think your adversity is your fucking gift straight up.
Because what you don't realize is happening right now in the world is the internet is making everything equal and the chip on the shoulder that's going on you right now, the fact that you're not entitled and you're not fucking soft and you can appreciate shit. That's going to play out in your 20s 30s 40s. You don't see it now, but you know, look at the same way I did. When I was nine, and my mom said, go fuck yourself, I don't intend to know I hated life.
and that was the best shit that ever happened to me. When I was 13, I had a work every weekend, and I made two bucks an hour of bagging ice for 15 hours a day, and all my friends were partying and hooking up and having fun and going to parties and shit, I hated it. Now's the best shit that ever happened to me. So, while everybody was looking down at me, that then I was looking down at my own head.
And honestly, every time everybody looked down at me, I registered that shit and put in a column. And that fucking shit became my fuel. Because it makes me so much to give you, the quickest way you could figure out how to sell shit, that would really get you a lot. The quickest way you could figure out how to sell and face a marketplace in eBay and Amazon, just behind it selling stuff.
For me, it was baseball cards. That's what people want about today. For a lot of other people, so much to do with me, it's really interesting. I was thinking about the standard of going to the airport.
I saw this huge line outside of sneaker shop, and it was like, 15 in the morning. And I look at everybody and I was like, yeah, those are my people, right? Because they're just like, they're just hungry. They're just well on the stand outside of a sleeper store at 4 30 in the morning and cold.
Because they know they're going to flip those easier streams and make a couple hundred bucks. And I think that person has the advantage in the world going forward. And the only people that are willing to listen to you complain are other people that are losing. And that's facts.
So I highly recommend you get your head into a place where you just go on the offense. Straight offense. Because you have the options. And so I think it's the greatest time of your life.
The Internet is still new. There's still so much to take. You could absolutely grab it. They could be yours.
It's just not going into a different place in your mind and get real quiet. They got me through. Everything got quiet. Everything became Charlie Brown.
All those teachers, all those parents, all those people coming out couldn't. Where I wasn't. Where I was losing. I just drowned them out.
And so that would be my recommendation. I'd drown out the noise. I get real focus on the opportunity. Because I have a lot of empathy that you may not see it right now, but it doesn't mean it's not there.
And I see every day. I can eat meals and dms every day when people they're building up from real small places. It's just patience. I believe you've got anything.
It's patience. Patience. How many people this room right now over 30? I don't know.
When you were 14, you felt like a room. You didn't know how early it was. I feel exactly the same way when I was 16. I got straight by her much s.
I'm hungry. I want it. Feels the same. I don't even know what to tell you.
And all the nine people I just raised her hand while they were still thinking about the same dumb shit. We did over 15. We were still ambitious. We still wanted her so grown with the same thing.
And you can't see that now. Neither guy. I wanted her to be the leader. When I was 20 years old, I was 30.
I thought he was old. So I know what you think. I'm not trying to rob you or give you hope off the bullshit. I'm just trying to tell you the truth, which is the internet's here.
It's a complete land grab. There's unlimited opportunity. Nobody cares where you started. Nobody stopping you.
There's nobody that's got to take your resume. There's no greed that matter. None of it. What matters is are you on a hustle and how bad do you want it?
And are you willing to live a life where you're not letting other people judge you? So then you're not pandering to it. The biggest problem I see right now with a lot of people that lie to 23, you guys follow me. And every one of them is just buying dumb shit.
Like just buying dumb shit, like clothes and watches and sneakers all because they're trying to front and use it. Take a girl's and all that and that's fine. I get it. But they're letting other people dictate their life.
And that is the biggest thing that if you could get out of this talk, if you can get nobody to the team life. If you can get into that crazy place that I got to and the other people that I study and watch, that broke through, it's got to get real quiet. And that's what I'm hoping for you. Podcast you have to go to vcon.co.
No, me, ec-l-n-dot-c-o. The coolest business conference in the world is coming to Los Angeles at LA live August 9th to the 11th. A remarkable event that I want all of you to join. Can you sort of be con-dot-c-o?
Like you're ready to see you there. My first question before we open up to Florida would be if you don't have social media and you only have access to the internet at school. How do you use the internet to be resourceful and anything at a job? Well, first of all, you have to decide if you want to get a job.
And second of all, if you're going into your computer lab, you can sign into your Instagram for that minute, 15 minutes, four hours. You know, here's what I would do for everybody here. I would do everything possible. I mean, everything possible.
Like, to me, the big game is very simple. If I know one person, if I know one person, that did it, then there's a blueprint. One guy's like, yo, I was homeless. I got $10 from Panouts.
I caught your video because my service was caught off a month later, so I lost you. I didn't have it. But at the 10 bucks, I heard you. I went and bought $10 worth of water at the Woudega.
And now I sold it. Me, Tony, I've been building any remembered. He remembered the resource flip. He walked in at $47.
He bought a pair of Jordans that went for $1 for $19. He sold over $57 on eBay. He just kept going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going. He didn't care what people were saying when he sold the water outside.
He didn't care what people said when he was going into every resource. He didn't give a fuck. He just kept going and going and going. Same up enough to turn back on his service, get a year's worth of service.
Now he's back on the internet. And now he's really flipping stuff on Instagram and Amazon at eBay. And then he just kept going and he made thousands of thousands of dollars. I got a part of it.
My big thing is what you're alternative. It's a real. What's your name? Kayla, how are you?
People want to be other things like a writer. Yeah. Being a writer singer and dancer and getting to that goal uses the internet as a magic pill. Again, if you can get to the place where you have social, you need the right, sing and dance on Instagram, use hashtags, you got the fucking book, you can read it, you can sell it before box.
But you need to go out and content at scale. Because if you can sing, you need exposure. So if you can sing, well then my question is this is not just people can confuse by making it. If you want to write, sing and dance, you also have to figure out how that's balanced with how you're going to live.
So there's a big difference between being Beyonce and being somebody to be a few thousand years singing. Both are interesting. That's your talent. So first of all, you have to figure out who you are.
Because people are delirious out here. People think they're going to leave. People think they're going to be on the next, the delirious out here. Me and all some people are it.
So to me, here's the funniest part. There's no more to be there. Take your phone, point at your face and do it. And then figure out how people like it.
And when people say they don't like it, you got to get more of it. You need two or three or four years of rejection before you give up. Years. People post one post on Instagram of them freestyling.
People shit on them and they give up. Make content. You're right. If it's good, it's going to be wild.
Yes. You're the lower spectrum of three days. You're a fuck, did you got it? That was always like a piece.
But it's not too great. I know about voting myself that they're negative. As I said, how do you guys? Look, me swoop in for an hour to take a couple of selfies.
I know book for you. It's not going to get done. This is way beyond this moment. So I'm not delirious about this.
Here's what you and I were able to do. We were able to hear a lot of things and block it out. And we give you a lot of questions. But we're scared to ask you because we're scared of the judgment of the person sitting next to them.
So I get it. But here's a punchline. There is no alternative. So for me, I'm not ideological.
I've been rolling in here and then inspire everybody to go get there. To me, it's just putting facts in people's heads and moving on. This is what it is. Like, for example, you're going to get pushed education like crazy.
Let me tell you what's going on with education. Unless you're really good student and you're going to go to a top university. That's going to give you a scholarship. And you're going to get a great job.
I'm going to try to get the college system. It's not going to be that great with the deal for you. And if you were thinking about going to college and collecting debt, I would have a lot of percent. You're going to really be in that shape until you're 40.
That's facts. That's not popular. Your mom and teachers don't want to tell you that. I get it.
That's not good facts. Now, when you're 13, 16, 9, that sounds great. Like, I have a school. I get it.
But for some of your schools exactly right. Because you got it like that. You want to say that you figured out the system. You know how to get grades.
And then you should go. Especially if you want to pay for it. And you'll get that. So what I'm just saying is that everybody's going to have a different path.
Everybody's going to have different path. You just need to figure out what you like. And what you're good at. And if you're lucky enough, that's what you like is what you're good at.
Well, then you fucking want. But if not, you got this side of your little life where you're going to do something that makes you happy. You like it. Maybe you're not going to have private jets and all that stuff.
Or you're going to live a life where you're just going to make some money because you want to get that place out. And that's what you want. This is not choices. There is no perfect.
You already know that. That is your advantage. Yes, sir. What do you have in terms of advice on getting comfortable with your needs?
Look, and you know this. Like, the vision at this age is far more fancy. Less fancy with your vision as a gilder. Right?
When you're 12, you're going to play in a league. You're going to be an influencer. You're going to be an influencer. And then as you get 13 and that works.
So for me, if this was college kids, the pen is super interesting. Because they hit with that cold water and I don't want to be a doctor. I want to get money for whatever it was. That made you switch it up.
You know for me right now, it's like, I'm just funny, let's run through my head right now. I'm like, nam, is there one kid in here that hears me? Right? And like they said, what fucking kid understands?
It's not crying, stop crying. Nobody's listening. There's people who have compassion. I got compassion for days.
The problem is, I know there's more brilliant people that have all works than you. You know, when I think we're always trying to achieve here because we have compassion and care, I'm just trying to come at it. I'm just trying to come at it. Not with different angle.
I'm not trying to shock you with my person. I just want to have people find me. I'm just trying to get somebody to believe. And now like hyped and not care next Tuesday, I'm just trying to make sure one thing resonates in some way.
You know how it works. We all lived it, right? Like just one piece of thing that could resonate. And the only thing that never resonates, you know, I'm very, you know, I was very effective by growing up in New Jersey and just like East Coast and like the 80s when the Beastie boys and all the things.
And I just want to think back to like culture right now. What resonates is only one of two things. Complete and utter bullshit. And it's straight fucking truth, right?
Either like stuff that just everybody leans out like, oh shit, yes, if you fucking bottle the champagne and private jets and fucking floss and coast and coast and coast. And you know, or just the truth. I'm not interested in selling that because it's not practical for 99.99%. I like talking in this environment about the truth.
What if someone was just good at doing something or like a job or like no matter what days and making it a bit of nothing, right? They'll love it. They'll have a good passion for it. They don't want to do what you think.
They have it to get you out of a situation that you're not interested. If you were being direct here, like if I came to the next slide, I'm interested. I worked for my dad's liquor store. When I was from 22 to 34 years old, I built my dad's liquor store for $60 million.
And I said 34 years old, I left and had nothing. It was my dad's business. I went in here to go and they went over and I went on the 90, right? So like I think when I thought I was right, the first circumstance, but I did work with it.
I was like, I was like, I was like, I'm gonna pay them back. I work my face off, give up all my 20s, right? So we need to be humble with her when you're humble. You know, so, you know, when I hear you asking that question without knowing everyone in your details, I think you gotta do it.
You have to do it. You have to do it. You have to get the next step to give yourself more options. So if you're good at it, it works.
And you can get into that next spot. That gives you options at 30, how are you? Muzzle, if 15, that can get you to a place of 27, that gives you options, you'll be a kid at 27. At 15, you think 27 is fucking dead.
Oh, I get it. I remember, but I'm telling you to your face, it's young kid, your young kid. Let me tell you one thing that you'll not hear often. The person that knows how to eat the most amount of shit usually eats the most amount of caviar.
Whatever gets you to the next spot is exactly move forward. Good, then. I'm glad you have something that really, that's really easy for me to see how we can go for you. You just gotta be patient.
That's where you gotta stay disciplined and save that money. And not buy all the stuff that's gonna be fine as bad inspiration. The way I look at anything is if I decide it's a bad role model, it's not a role model. You know, I mean, if you're saying that it's a bad role model because other people say it, you like it or think some of the parts of what they're doing are good, that's what you have to dissect.
Nobody's all doing nobody's all bad. To me, it's just picking the pieces that you're interested in. Like, I, how are you? So I consider you are like a real bad for the just work.
Yeah. I'm angry as well. And like, when you guys are that level of success and you're around people who didn't have the work as hard. Yeah.
I feel worse for them, man. Like, it's really hard to walk into this room, look at their faces and have what's going through my head as these kids have such a big advantage. They have no idea because they can never believe it. And nobody out there would think it.
They judge as a bad guy to think every kid in here has a better than all the rich kids on the other side. I just believe it because it's my truth. I've always got like success when you're boarding in a certain class and you have even more orders in class and you will be tainted to be out of success. Like, you have to be junior or something.
You weren't there. It sucks. You know, they're not what you just said. You know what's stuff?
That was how I brought up that other kid. You know, I'm a person lost from the get. When you're basically saying you're people aren't with money, you've lost from day one. So like, and honestly, I'm not so sold that you're not wrong.
When you have anything, you want stuff. So you don't give a shit about merit or respect or skills. You're just trying to get some stuff. But once you get it, how you get it becomes the game.
And so some of us are fortunate to be judging people on the skills, not to stop. So for me, once I'm 100,000 dollars a year, I can tell you that I was good. Like, I thought I'd made it forever. I've never felt the impact of money since that mark the same way.
Because I don't need stuff. Like, I don't need stuff that we love being entrepreneurs because nobody's my fucking boss. So like making 80,000 a year, selling rubber bands on Amazon sounds great to me because nobody's yelling at me. How many rubber bands are like the other thing?
I like the control. You know, and the nice guy is leverage. When you're getting more than you're asking for, you got the leverage. I like leverage.
I have like one last question. What keeps you pushing forward and keeps you motivated and with the few things, are some of the good things that might help some people with my crew and that. Well, for me, the reason I always do things that I think I might fail at is because I don't care what anybody thinks if I lose. It's a very big deal, guys.
The reason I take so many risks and always did, and that's why I won was because if I lost, I didn't care about what anybody thought about my L. It's my fucking L. I'm telling you, if you can figure out how to get every voice out of your mind, your whole life will change. Doesn't mean you'll take advice from people, but if you realize how to get quiet up here, everything's different, man.
What's scary about failure? I love losing. He's like, learn something. If he's figured out how to do it again, right?
You know, they say, I've had the same advice, too. It's like, the only way that you learn is from your stakes, and maybe you can learn your women's from failing, but you're such a vessel. Well, maybe you learn from winning, too. But let me tell you one thing.
Not trying or doing, always loses. You'll learn from winning. I've learned a ton of shit from winning. I've learned a lot from losing.
The only thing I've done much better than a lot of people have to do is have a good time. How are you? What's your name? Oh, you say, hey, hey, hey.
I want to become an authentic one of your content. So just like you. Amazing. And I have invited my passion.
And I have applied to this writing on YC team, and I spilled the heart out. It was me. Well, I was, yes. They declined me.
Yes. It's like, they, I was like, it's like, that's me. Yes. They're not accepting me.
Fuck that. What is like? So I was like, of course, well, they need to call you. You want to run the fucking person that read your shit?
They call you fuck them. You're valuing somebody else's opinion too much. Listen to me. You can't let something be valuable more than you.
Your pain will prevent. Let them come to you. Take that same essay and post that shit on Instagram with a foil as you have it. See what happens.
Let the market decide. That's a bullshit, no man's person that read your shit. Good. Of course it's true.
And when you're young, the 13 to 15 and 9, you got to change your shit up because you're on a house plate. That's why I'm here until exactly how it's played. One fucking person read your story, my dear, and fuck that person. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you. For real.
