In this episode, I debunk Biden's state of the union address and disprove wokeist ideology. Liberal news networks all said how Biden had faced adversity, victimizing the Democratic party saying that the President was able to push through with resilience and utter tenacity.

In this episode, I recreate Thomas Gonnet's pitch deck creating a hypothetical SMMA from scratch. I create a random lead generation agency from scratch with med spas as my niche. As I go through this business plan, I utilize ad creatives from Gonnet's sales call and show an exact timeline and plan in which you can scale an agency. Keep in mind: I would never use this in an actual sales call. I am only using this as an example for this episode to show you in detail how the business plan works and explain to you the skills necessary to be successful in the industry. After the first 7 minutes, I go in depth with how to accumulate funding, provide a SWOT analysis, the organizational structure and how to timeline your onboarding all in the CONVERSATION STYLE OF PITCHING A NEW BUSINESS TO YOU.

As the OpenAI software has taken the world by storm, especially in the SMMA space, the need for virtual assistants/media buyers has reduced dramatically and agency owners are making way higher profit margins through the free automated process. I show you exactly how I use ChatGPT to automate my brand, eliminate the use of VAs, and how you can use the platform to create scripts, generate ideas for new ad copy, get feedback on ad copy/scripts you create, handle objections on cold call/sales calls and how you can use AI to take your brand to the next level.

2022 has definitely been a year to remember: Andrew Tate vs. Greta Thunberg, Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard, the overturning of Roe V.

This is not about toxic masculinity, not an episode debunking feminism or us trying to say that ONLY AS A MAN YOU SHOULD NOT SHOW EMOTIONS. In my personal opinion, making emotional decisions will always turn out badly. You don't want to be like George Jenko from Impaulsive and walk off a podcast because he couldn't take a joke. You don't want to be like the guy who tackled Dave Chappelle at one of his shows because he quote on quote got "offended." Emotion brings vulnerability. That vulnerability makes you weak and unattractive to others because it's human nature for us to gravitate towards stronger individuals who have gotten further in life. Those who don't give a fuck always come out on top because they don't let shit that happens around them control their mind. Someone insults them: they don't give a fuck. Someone makes an "offensive" joke: it is what it is. They get dumped: whatever. If you control your mind, you don't think about it anymore. It does not affect you. It will never have a hold on you. That aura of mystery... the scarcity of these individuals and their ability to control their thoughts is what makes them win.

You don’t want to be the guy that is known for just talking about sex all the time. You don’t want to be the guy known for getting rejected. You don’t want to be the guy known for going for significantly younger girls because then you are the word of the day: DOWNBAD. Downbad guys are depressed, have no purpose, and get attached easily. They're desperate, not respected, and live a very lonely and miserable lifestyle. The only way to break free is through self improvement because that brings you confidence. Confidence brings value and that value is what makes you no longer downbad. In this episode, we talk about downbad guys, our own experiences being downbad, and why self improvement is the only way to combat this lifestyle.

99% of guys watch porn. Only 1% ever quit. The average porn watcher is depressed, barely works out, gets average grades, and has no goals in life spending all his time destroying his manhood. They come off as creepy to girls... incels to some. They have no confidence, look away when girls make eye contact with them, are in a bad mood, struggle to look at girls in a non-objectified way, and lack motivation. Colton Kangethe, one of the biggest self improvement creators out there known for his cinematic NoFap/vape addiction content comes on the podcast to give advice to all of you who have failed NNN. We talk how to quit, how to get rid of urges, why NoFap is imperative to who you'll become in the future, and how it helps you so much in life. 0:00-25:00 (You can't quit because you count the days, stress is the biggest trigger for overachievers, don't chase girls, male validation does not exist) 25:00-45:00 (Authenticity, Why NoFap Gives You Confidence, Transparency is Everything, 3 Step Process To Quit Porn, Vaping Addiction) Colton's social medias: @godcoltonn on IG, https://youtu.be/plf5WkJDW6U,

I talk about the importance of brotherhood on your self improvement journey and why it's necessary to have people that are as like-minded as you as your close friends. Many struggle with finding people in their hometown who have the same ambition as them, want the same things out of life and will do whatever it takes even if it takes years to achieve it. For most people, finding that best friend or group of people that just really understand you, go through the same things as you and individuals you just really click with is hard to find.

No employee wants a weak boss. No client wants a weak agency owner. You need to develop an OBSESSION with what you want to achieve in life.

Seeing the scope of a situation will help you figure out the best way to grow from where you are now. If you are able to embrace failure, you are able to learn to pick yourself up which is the main reason everyone fails: so we can learn and grow as individuals. This life is a marathon as in the end, it's not about the motivation. It's about your drive, your ambition and most importantly... your consistency.

With the founders of Youth for Business, we discuss different careers in an intense and entertaining debate. In this episode, one of the careers we debate is oceanography. There are trade offs to every single decision people make in life. So let's say for example, someone has a passion for oceanography, and they want to pursue it as a career. Is passion more important than financial stability? So let's say they do pursue it as a career. The opportunity cost of pursuing a career in oceanography is financial stability, but what you gain is being able to do something that you love for a living. Let's say, using the same person, they decide to pursue a career in a more lucrative field that isn't their passion. The opportunity cost of this decision is not doing something they love, but what you gain is financial stability that you can use to support a family. What's more important; passion or stability?
