Robot Businesses That Will Take Over The Fast Food Industry And Showmanship

the world has changed where there's now this like robotic arm that's a general purpose robotic arm so think of it like an iphone right it's a piece of hardware that you could buy that you could program to do anything things right so when when steve jobs came out with the iphone they were like this is a iphone it can access the internet it has a gps inside and it can make phone calls like that's what it could do and from there you guys figure out the rest right like initially they didn't have the app store but then when they did have the app store now all of a sudden you get the flashlight app and then the app that turns you know it's like a ruler uses the camera to like mentioning something then you get like str it's like we'll use the gps to do this thing so it's basically like a programmable general purpose tool so that's what's happening with these robotic arms alright we're alive bro what's up listen listen to this thing i'm gonna tell you something i you know have any being really healthy this summer and didn't eat a lot of sugar didn't have no sugar other than like fruits and fruits and vegetables and like just no sugar added today i decided today was my planned cheat day after three months of like doing this and i ate some ice cream i feel miserable yeah the cheat day is always under overwhelming it's always like i'm looking forward to it i'm planning for it that i start doing it i don't even feel good while i'm eating it well it's like it's like when you drink and then the next day you're hung and like why did i do that but then you immediately do it again like a few days later i kind of feel like that except instead of like three days it's like it's a ten minutes so i like i eat something ten minutes later i'm feel horrible i'm like oh fuck there's still some love though i should probably do it oh my god i feel so sick you have such an extreme personality you you always go to these extremes you also i i feel like this is also why people hate like fit people is because they like have these types of problems and normal people are just like what are you talking about like what is the big deal why are you doing this year why you wake up at the middle and i thinking about ice cream it's like the way that you know the way that some people get annoyed about the crossfit fitter and you know like people who love to talk about intermittent fasting i think there's people who feel that way about us with business and money which is just like dude not everything's a business that's okay and i would say that if we succeed we we need to succeed in creating people that are as annoying as crossfit fitter as our fans i think that's my new goal yeah you need freaks and here you got you you're at a huge disadvantage you know why right it's because you are what i like to normal emotionally stable you have too much emotional health good emotional health in order to you know be extreme like some people i'm reading this great book about leaders and how the guy the author looks at a lot of like interesting leaders who he like like so for example ava lincoln's is one of the most written about i think the most written about american figure ever winston in churchill hill a bunch of people like that and he basically his whole theory is that during okay times a mentally stable leader is could be adequate but during bad times mentally unstable leaders typically are the best at leading because they understand like the ups and downs they are kinda like crazy enough kinda like when an entrepreneur like invent something or start something versus the type of person who just runs and runs it like even ke and they're like well you kinda need some extremes sort extreme times and it like analyzes history on emotionally unstable people and looks at like oh they're actually the best during bad times well i think people underestimate this because in theory it sounds like you want somebody who is stable in theory you want let's say you join a a startup up or some a small company you want it to be like oh how do we make decisions you know we we talk about it as a group we get a bunch of different perspectives and then we sort of all chime in with what we think and we go with you know maybe the majority it's like a democracy and actually that shit doesn't work in startups it it is not the norm and that would be the outlier if it was to work the the norm is what they call the ben dictator so it's basically we agree for better or for worse that person's the the captain they're the captain and we're going on their ship and either were going down or we're going to the promised land and that's how the best start work is they pick a captain and they just go ride or die with that person and they say look for better for worse we need to make decisions fast so one person's can always be faster than a committee we need to be extremely decisive so we can't be torn constantly by warring you know one group wants a the other group wants b we can't have that three we need it to be a little bit extreme because look we're trying to do an extreme thing here so maybe we need an bit of an extreme leader and so i think in companies you actually want a dictatorship and people don't like that they're uncomfortable with that because that's not what you want in your country maybe or that's not what you want in your you know your local city but it is what you want in a company and it is what you want on any creative project it's kind of my view you want kind of a crazy genius who's gonna be creative force driving the thing and everybody else get on board or get off and that's that's how you ran the hustle that's how i run my companies it is definitely the way when it comes to to creating new stuff from scratch yeah and then it actually makes sense and let me explain how i was and you tell me you're the same way but if you look at like with the ceo it like it doesn't really matter if there's a thirty percent not approval rating it's just like did the do the numbers like does it work you know for a publicly traded company it's like it doesn't didn't matter unfortunately or fortunately the way you look at it doesn't matter if you're an asshole did the numbers go up and did do achieve what you said you're going to achieve and so it doesn't matter if you're employees i mean it matters if it becomes a retention problem but if it's just if you have a ten percent approval rating but your numbers are great it's great if you have a ten percent approval rating and you're the president of america well you're you're jobless you know what i mean like you're gonna not gonna win the next election so it's just like all about appealing to one percent and because of that we get used to this idea of like democracy and like you know i don't wanna be led this is like you know don't lead me just like get me involved and so i remember when i started my company i was like yeah that's i'm gonna run it like look it's this is like a merit we are all here working together and it is that but it is definitely more like hey i'm the boss i will take input in from everyone i'm making the decision and this is the way that we're gonna go and it's my job to make sure that you feel inspired to be here and all this other stuff and i remember feeling really self conscious about that and then there'd be times where i wasn't the leader like for example when i joined house hubspot or maybe when you and i work on this podcast it's like well i'm not exactly the boss and i actually felt a lot of security and comfort when i said hey who's the boss of this project and you just say is this person the boss great hey boss what you know make your decision please and i felt actually good about like being a follower and then i realized that maybe i think my employees when i'm the boss like you have to have a boss i think and when you are the boss is is kinda cool but also very stressful but when you're not the boss it's like yeah i'm i'm okay taking this role and i recognize we need a leader just tell me what to do right yeah what do they call it one neck to choke it's like there needs to be one neck to choke when it comes to any situation or any problem like if it's like if i don't know who's in charge if i don't know who's who actually makes the call then you lose one really powerful thing which is accountability and and and so i think that's that's really important i think that you're absolutely right i don't mind whether i'm the person or i'm not the person in charge i just like that they're is a person in charge i want a ben vanilla addicted dictatorship because that's what i've have personally seen work best i remember when we were when when i was at twitch and we did a the first executive off site so it's like i don't know the the the sort of like fifteen exec leaders in the company go to whatever some fancy place they have a spread of you know like whatever tee cr and it's favorite busters in daly city yeah fridays you go to friday's very happy for data skins of the nuclear margarita yeah yeah you you eat loaded potato and you you just start to decide the future the company you gotta feel like your customers you know you gotta go to the apple beans you gotta get the nacho chose so the the the ceo and the ceo they get up there and they say hey look we we read the results from the last the last offset we did a last quarter and it seemed like the big thing you guys wanted was you felt like the decision making was too top down and you didn't have a say and you feel felt like your ideas either weren't heard or you know the group's you know you it was it was all just sort of mandated from above and you just had to execute you didn't feel empowered so this time we're doing a different and they like spent the whole day and it was like what are your ideas in children and then i everybody writes down their ideas i'm sticking to like awesome let's do a color voting system everybody vote on your top three like and they like like you know so you wanna do commercial with the rolling stone sean you know that that that cost a million dollars well okay we'll we'll take that into account yeah who who who here keeps writing billboards are back but i'm where what do what is this idea of about so it's like you basically and then you go through this whole day process where everybody's talking about it and you could tell that these extended in a way they're interested but they're also like biting their tongue a bit because they're like look alright we said we're not gonna just like slam in with our opinion and just overrule everything and be like guys it's fucking obvious we're doing one two and three what are we talking about here and so they didn't do that they let everybody do things great come up and we leave the off site fast forwarding either the next quarter or the quarter after that so three or six months later we go for the next outside it's like i'll read the feedback we feel like we just don't know how decisions are being made we kinda wish that the leadership would just step in and make give us clear direction on what we're gonna do like hey we're ready we just need some clarity from you guys it's called the long con man that this is the long time and so they basically were like here we'll let you you know try this and i was just like am i the only one of the room that just rip remembers what the last feedback was which is the exact opposite which is like it's too top down and now it's like are the leaders gonna be leaders or not like we need clarity your job is to give us these decisions like we feel like you're just sitting back and then now it's mayhem and it's like and so that was like the affirmation of something i always believe the second part there's this there's a skip from the chap show where he wants to get oprah pregnant so he you know he wants to have oprah baby and he gets her pregnant and he goes gotcha and like that's on it that's how i feel ami it it's just like say you do himself after like three months so he's like gotcha you guys say one got your clip i'm pregnant are you sure man honestly that's yours that's your bitch what lose the the second thing is wartime and peace time i think this also matters a lot so you want this sort of like dictatorship when it is war wartime and for for startup they're for a company there's usually two war times there's the beginning when you're nobody you have no customers no product no direction you have no market share no nothing and then if you start to succeed you will hopefully enter some version of peace time where it's like the thing is working we don't need to everyday wake up and worry about dying or killing our competitors or like all the stuff like maybe you're working on you know maintenance fixing bugs maybe you're working on talking to customers and making sure you're support you know things that you kind push by the wayside now there's more time to go do those things properly you work on security we work on server robustness whatever the same thing but more and better a little bit every time yeah you don't need to go and conquer new lands you're basically taking your existing land and saying oh you know we need to fix up some things around here that we ignore during the wartime rush but then you enter wartime again inevitably and that's when you know the competitive landscape changes the you know a new platform gets released competitors emerge whatever and the economy changes being able to shift between those two gears is pretty tough i think very few leaders can be the best wartime ceo and the best peace time ceo usually you're one or the other you're an amazing peace time or amazing wartime and then you sort of stay too long or when the when the when the season shifts it's i think that's the other thing to recognize because people will always say oh this person's good or bad and it's like well actually maybe they're just amazing at one season and the season has changed and now a different type of person would actually be best for what's going on now and so that's the other thing about like kind this dictatorship stuff that you gotta know is like what season are we in if we're in time i want a wartime ceo if for in peace time i need a peace time ceo and i need to know when to shift i always hated saying this because there were so many people who would died and it was so bad for so many people but i remember thinking like to covid was awesome like i loved i loved being in the trenches you know like it was actually quite exciting if it's exciting now because i know how the story ends and things and well but at the time i was quite scared but looking back i was like oh i feel alive like this is this is what obviously i kinda hate the war metaphor because you know first of all there's people who aren't actually in the war so yeah that's true this is a it's it's a borrowed it's a borrowed term term and they didn't give us permission the second thing is you know our war is fought literally at a keyboard with clicks firing left and right and so you know there's a part me this feels very lame it's yeah i felt so live when i was logging into google analytics every morning and checking out you know what was going it's like well do you acknowledge that you're kind of a soft bitch right like and it's like okay yeah i as long as i acknowledge that then it's okay to continue this yeah this metaphor but let's acknowledge it is a metaphor it is not like real in any any way but i know what you mean which is that when these big shake ups happen or there's a downturn where most people's reaction is oh shit well i'm you know this is bad for me and they just go with the sheep of like it's bad for me versus a lot of other people recognize hey this is happening whether i like it or not and given that it's happening the questions i need to ask are what opportunities does this open up for me where does this where what what am i now gonna get strong and that i was otherwise weekend what have i i've been neglecting that now it's time to put my focus on right like just ask yourself better questions did you start to focus on cool i'm gonna take market share in this area i'm gonna i'm gonna quickly pounce on this thing that i've otherwise been neglecting that i now matters a lot or hey oh now that everybody's comfortable with remote work and stuff like what that opens up this new opportunity for us and just ask better questions and you'll get better answers dude speaking of so i've got two topics here that are like kinda related to like mad men and crazy people the first have you ever heard of this guy named brad brett ad hoc no have you heard of this company called vet do you remember vet not really okay but no i don't i couldn't tell you what it is so this guy named brett ad hoc he i just met him recently and he joined our community and i'd been getting to know him listen to this guy's background so he's thirty six years old he's from central illinois and in around two thousand twelve two thousand fifteen he started a company called vet and it's nothing particularly sexy it was just basically like a job site and it was a little bit like hired dot com and eventually hire dot com tried to bully vet hire dot com was also a similar business a job board but like you know more in death more technology and they raised north of a hundred million dollars fast forward five or six years later vet ended up buying higher dot com when higher dot com went bankrupt and so v was basically a job website to help people recruit engineers raised ten million dollars eventually was acquired for a hundred and twenty ish about a hundred a hundred and fifty i think so this guy brett he's thirty six now so back then when it was acquired that was in like two thousand fifteen so he was in his twenties he made low digit tens of millions of dollars so he didn't tell me but i would imagine in the twenty million dollar range but here's what he did tell me listen to this he put one hundred percent of his money minus a little bit of cash that he put down for a down payment for a house so when i say one hundred percent he told me he goes i didn't own any outside equities i owned nothing i had my down payment in my house and one hundred percent of the earnings that i made which was low tens of the million and tens of millions put into the business bank account and then he started a company called archer so basically it they make like these car the they some people call them flying cars they're basically like helicopters helicopters but they kinda look like a car body and i was like how did you learn about this and he said i learned it all of my own i read fifty engineering books and built three generations of electric aircraft in two thousand eighteen at the university of florida where i was doing engineering courses as an undergrad i had to build a lab there to have facilities big enough in two thousand eighteen and so he with owning zero public equities outside of archer the archer stock he he makes zero outside investments and he and he said because he needs extreme focus and we put all this money in archer archer eventually does a spa i believe they did a spa but they but they went public so they sold like a billion dollars worth of these flying vehicles to united airlines or something like that takes it public for three or four billion dollars now the stock is you know like most stocks in the in the gross space is it doing so hot but i still think it's a billion dollar company and his net worth skyrocket to a billion i think now it's in the three or four hundred range and makes all this money from archer and now i can't talk about his new startup but i can soon he told me he took basically two hundred million dollars and he's put all of it into his new company and still to this day he goes the only stock that i own is archer and my house that's like the only outside investments and and then now the new business and so i go you know is your wife and family okay with this he goes i've been doing i've been going all in and been doing this for twenty years they're used to it now by now and i said well what do you what do you think about people who say you know you're kinda nuts why don't you square away a little bit of money while you can and he goes i don't care what people think i just wanna build the future and this guy he's not like one of these elon musk types where he's like hard to talk to and you like ask him a question he can't he's like you know so smart that he that he can't articulate it he's like fairly normal i guess normal in quotation marks but he's like easiest ish he's easy to talk to he's so personal personal charismatic guy and you're like oh you're seem very reasonable and he says he does this stuff and i'm like you are insane you're a mad man and so really interesting guy totally under the radar from central illinois he's only thirty six years old so i got along with him because i'm from missouri really fascinating dude and i've on his twitter he's talking only about this thing called polls star is that his new thing or that's polls star is a yeah p star is like a subsidiary or their a partner with volvo and they make really cool cars is that what the tweet is about i i i don't know yeah just talk about poles star cars the hold on okay wow amazing so so that's incredible the so they basically is it the are they actually planes are they what they call v like vertical take off and landing the second one so kinda like a helicopter ish it looks like a helicopter it looks like four blades ford helicopter blades attached to like you know as honda civic right and why do you need this what does this do differently than a helicopter i have no idea i feel like question here here's sam's question does he ask you it's usually name where you're from and then instead of like you know what do you do it's like what other equities do you own and like how much of your personal net worth are you reloading into your next company wow okay i'll let's focus on that i don't even wanna know why why you've created this idea what like actual i helicopter does that's what a websites for i don't know to take cool pictures i don't know what are planes for it's just like a plane i don't know i mean i'm looking at the website oh it's also just cool pictures they're craft yeah i don't give a fuck what the widget he makes it's a widget it's it's just like this beautiful black woman getting into this helicopter in address and like what she doing what's the purpose here and then she and then the next photo is she's on like a sand dune in dubai and it's like oh did she just fly fly to the desert she was like i at the appointment yeah go yeah she had to go i don't know all date she sorry brett ad hoc we did not do justice there on the on the on the actual thing but okay so hold on there's a a little question or a plot about the story so it said that he had to he he was an undergrad in twenty eighteen but you said he sold this company like in twenty sixteen so like he back to school or he was in school like he went back to school to learn how to do this stuff oh my god even more incredible this guy was interesting came in undergrad yes and he told me he goes he goes whenever i do something i go all he goes for example i'm i i'm going all in on my latest thing i went all in on archer he goes when i was starting vet there was a time where i took a personal loan one month because i i didn't have any money my personal account and we had to pay rent and he goes this is just what i do and so he said he wanted to learn about electric cars or whatever these this cool shit is and he went and learned about it at university of florida wow okay that's incredible speaking of people who go and you know my buddy fe and he's been on the podcast we haven't had a while we bring him back on but basically he was my c cofounder at my last startup before we we it it was called be and we we sold it to twitch and then since then he left and he was i was like what are you you gotta say what he did before of that oh before he's got a kind of a crazy story before that he was c cofounder of a company called app love that went public and it's like i don't know fifteen twenty billion dollar mobile ad network mobile gaming company so like one of the first like growing companies ever yeah just an incredible story like they've only they only ever raised four million dollars and they took that four million of external capital so they took i think four million from the founders and four million from from like strategic investors and they turned that into basically like twenty billion of equity value is and it makes insane capital efficiency three billion year in revenue so it's like a big business and they like rotated they were a mobile ad network and then they went public and when they were going public it was like mobile ad networks their comps were not very good because most mobile ad networks were like not doing very well even though they were like well our business is actually really good but we're just gonna keep getting compared to these low multiple other mobile ad networks so they basically executed a pivot mid flight and we're like well on our ad network the number one advertisers are games who makes the most money on our network that suits pays the most money on our ad network because mobile games so they're like why don't we just build mobile games and buy mobile gaming studios and so they built up this mobile gaming arm that i think does over a billion dollars a year in revenue they needed did two billion on just the like the amazon basic of games yeah exactly so they started buying up these little partnering buying up studios and and building their own studio in house and then they would just use their existing reach and their ad network to like grow their own games and insane and then they got valued at much higher because they had like a different story than just wear a mobile ad network and that's it so anyways fe comes been doing crazy shit but he's been going all in since he was very very young so when he was fifteen he worked at a dot com during the like dot com boom like his dad was like hey i bet this guy they raised like on an november dot com was like this guy raised fifty million dollars on a powerpoint he need somebody to build his website he doesn't know how you know how to build websites it's like don't you go work over there so at fifteen he's working at a dot com then he starts his own e com site that's like selling like cool like mods for your computer you you know people like trick out their cars with like rims and stuff yeah he was doing that for like your gaming computer something like you can have like a see through case with like blue liquid going through it or stuff like that and he goes to san jose state so not like a fancy school freshman in the year he's and see an immigrant isn't is he from well yeah his family's their pakistani but they his his they've lived he grew up at the bay so he grew up on this that's part of it at the magic he's like his dad worked i think at ibm and like when he was like five years old his dad would bring him like the the early computer or the early printer it'd be like let's assemble this together so that's how what he learned how to do shit so so anyways he he's freshman freshman year at san jose state he's like dude i just keep leaving the classroom to take calls because like you know we're out of inventory or whatever and so he just quits san jose state he goes all in on the e com thing he figures out one hack with the e com thing which was like back then i think on google or yahoo or somewhere where people were searching for stuff you could just sort my cheapest so he just wrote a bot that would always price like their their main like high selling sku one cent lower than whatever the cheapest price was and it was like his loss leader and it would always bring somebody to the to the site and that's what he that's what when he decided to quit school was he was in a class and they were describing what a loss leader is he's like oh that's the shit i'm doing with my like well i'm i'm like i'm like selling this stuff at a loss to get traffic he's like don't need to be here i'm learning this shit like in the real world so he i just left and just like i dropped out and then he's like whatever goes on he's spends a couple of years playing poker as well like you know a bunch of different crazy stuff comes back starts doing startups and now and so after we saw and after eleven goes public the guy i never needs to work again he's got all the money in the world and i'm like so what you gonna do and he's like he's like i wanna like i like i'm i'm gonna buy a big space hey basically is like he's creating his heaven on earth which did did he sign that space or did he rent it it looks beautiful he he's renting that one but he was looking at buying before then when covid started happening he's like i'm just gonna lease these they're all like dirt cheap leases now and like i don't know he got this sick place over on the pre reside yeah so he's in fort mason and he's got like i don't know maybe ten thousand twenty thousand twenty five thousand square feet or something like that it's crazy and he basically created his heaven on earth which i've come to realize is like i that's actually what i respect the most it's like i don't respect because people will be like oh on one hand you guys go all in on elon or brett ad cock these guys who go all in is that what you love but you also love this guy you used just got this amazing lifestyle and works four hours a month but the same thing the the same thing they're creating their heaven on earth and i think that is the that my best description of what i admire and what i wanna do is create my own little heaven on earth which takes you i don't even like that description i say they're taking the world and they're just bending it over their leg to how the shape that they wanted to be you know what i mean they're just they're they're spanking their world span the world yeah they're are dominant tricks and the and the earth is their is the recipient no they're just like making the world it because that's what it feels like it feels like they're forcing things they're foresee in industry in this day least bailey go get my belt and then they defend the industry over and they span it yeah exactly there's really go get my belt that's the another one so so so he's also an all in kind guy because he he basically immediately created like a lot of work for himself he rented out the space he puts forty i went there to visit there's forty people working in there i'm like who are all these this is only he bunch of young brown dudes it's like who are all these indian dudes everywhere what are i do i sit in one of them because they're just part of his thing i was like for kinda these guys are legit and he like told me this huge explanation i was like alright so just say yes or no and i and i this just like say less yeah yeah i actually wanna just invest in the index because actually individually all of the ideas are a little bit crazy they're one of these is gonna work i just don't trust myself to pick the right one so i actually have talking to about like how do i just index into all of your crazy like i would like a piece of every brown dude in this in this under this roof here like how do i do that and and i think we're gonna work it out but i don't tell you about one of the things that i i saw there so dude the guy i invested in was a white guy shit oh you come yeah you're the nba rap kyle for dude you should take lebron i think so so one of the guys that one of the guys i met in there they were doing something called orange wood robotics so you're heard of this company no but obviously i'm in orange yeah i thought i go in and there's a reason it's called george but i'll i'll explain it in a second so they go in and i i go i walk in and there's a bunch of people to their computers and then there's the big thing he he wanted to do was he was like you know a lot of engineers they wanna work in a space other smart engineers that's cool but one of the things that engineers struggle with he's like the first thing i bought when i got money is bought like a three d printer and not you know and then like this robotics thing and then i brought bought this drone thing he's like i just wanna have a whole bunch of hardware available for free to engineers that are building stuff that requires the stuff that's very expensive so they can come in hack on these these tools and they don't need to like go buy this you know fifteen thousand dollar machine that just does this thing and so that's what he did and so when i walk in i'm like what's going on in there there's basically a room with a bunch of robotic equipment in there i walk in and there's this company called orange wood and what these guys are doing is they basically are like i was like explain what this is they go oh we have this robot that can paint stuff and i was like okay why and they're were like well you know like you know look around this room like you see that you see this you you know there's this process called powder coating you you ever powder coated something and i was like you obviously don't not have talking to yeah so i was like no i was like effort for doughnuts donuts what is that and he's like no basically it's this like process where you need to paint you know i i still can't expect it by the way that was like that was a good one thank you you do that thing in text where you're like six out of ten hey there ten on any good on any joke that was a good one i like that one the powder coating for donuts so so basically they're like you know it takes you know a specialist you have to you know you have to hire hire labor labor is really hard nowadays and it's also like chemically intensive process and how basically powder coating like i do it with motorcycle so like your motorcycle frame is just metal and then they powder coat it which is it kinda looks like paint i don't actually know exactly how it works but you do it in like a room that's sealed and you do it with gloves on and it's like you're putting it looks like a powder on it and it's like a sealant slash protected thing slash paint right so they basically trained this robot to do it and what they do the trick is that the world has changed where there's now this like robotic arm that's a general purpose robotic arm so think of it like an iphone right it's a piece of hardware that you could buy that you could program to do anything things right so when when steve jobs came out with the iphone they were like this is a iphone it can access the internet it has a gps inside and it can make phone calls like that's what it could do and from there you guys figure out the rest right like initially they didn't have the app store but then when they did have the app store now all of a sudden you get the flashlight app and then the app that turns you know it's like a ruler uses the camera to like i mean then you get like str it's like we use the gps to do this thing so it's basically like a programmable general purpose tool so that's what's happening with these robotic arms these guys wrote software to teach that robotic arm they bought how to powder coat things and then they taught it how to paint floors and then they taught it how to weld things so this thing can literally just weld shit together they taught it how to you know pick and pack things so it could take it could take things out of one place they put it into another place based on what it looks like and and the way you do it is you just write a program that that does each of these functions and you need to specialize it and then there's there's more sophisticated ways they'll put a camera on top and they'll teach it to like recognize stuff so like my cousin was doing this where he was teaching this robotic arm literally i went to his office and it was straight up a robotic arm and a like a hole and his whole thing was can i get the arm to go in the hole and i was like what's going on here guys he's like this is little like you sexual robot someone is and he's like no this is we're basically in the future electric cars are gonna get need to get charged but when they're self driving there's no driver to get out of the car and plug it in it's like so you need the the charging station to be able to automatically attach to the car otherwise we're never gonna have self driving cars that work that are electric because who will fill them up you'll need a a a person there always to be able to go do this and they'll need basic gas attendants of every gas station to do this which in my mind i was like that's that doesn't sound so bad but like you know there's a reason he pivoted but the at the point is they were training this arm to be able to use the camera to find the hole and exactly get in without scratching the car and so there's like this whole industry of people that are doing this they're just figuring out how to program these general purpose robotic arms and they're making very interesting businesses off them so these guys are doing it with painting i thought that was pretty cool because it's like a high value thing like you rent it for five hundred bucks for the day and it'll paint all your shit and it's like that's cheaper than than hiring a a person to do it and more reliable maybe because they'll do it it'll do it like perfectly even every single time you don't have like human error and so the other one that that's interesting like this is cafe x which you've probably seen yeah yeah in the malls which is basically seems like on starbucks yeah and like you see it and you're like oh what was stupid and then you start thinking about it you're like oh my the implications here are quite big yeah no i saw that i was immediately like this is the one of the smartest ideas i've ever seen so if you haven't seen cafe because you're not like in san francisco imagine starbucks but now shrink starbucks down to the size of like a a jumbo vending machine and it's see through and inside is just a robotic arm and you go you place your order you're like i need my you know cappuccino i want it you know whatever double shots and i i don't drink coffee side i don't i make that but like you know oat milk and two sugars and basically the arm then starts to like move around inside and it makes your coffee then it hands it to you and then it waves into as dance and at and you get to walk away and basically you pay you know two dollars fifty cents and you're getting a robotic coffee so the the why this is dope is it takes up like one tenth of the real estate of starbucks it has no like labor costs or very very low labor cost it's just the person who comes and cleans the robot at the end of the day and refills the ingredients so there's like you know very low labor cost and the robot like never gets tired never calls in sick it just like runs all day and just makes the per the exact same coffee all the time and it could do that with like you know a hundred drinks or something like that and so cafe x hasn't quite taken off i think there's they did some stupid things and i remember hearing that like at one point like in the seed around the founder only owned four percent of the company or something they like f up their cap table or something like i that too and so you know that that particular startup i don't think it's gonna work but i'll be damned if this is not gonna be a thing like this is gonna be a thing it just makes too much it has such a economic advantage and it only has technology risks and i think people really underestimate that because most businesses have extreme market risk we don't even know if the customers want it and if we don't know if they're gonna adopt it then it had it but this has like well if the customer wants it it's not not really a question the customer wants a fast delicious coffee yes that's not like that's not that hard to do and instead of making starbucks as a place where you go sit it's optimizing for people who wanna get in and get out like subway stations and stuff like that like people who are quickly on the go and has such a big financial advantage if they can do it because the real estate and the labor cost now the only question is can you make the robot arm work well enough and actually that's a problem that engineers are good at solving over like a ten year period so i'm trying just do this math to make sure i'm right wow okay so check this out so i i know a few a few of these guys doing these startups set involve so a lot of them use the word humanoid have you heard that word yeah don't like it yeah i don't like humanoid but basically it's robots that do jobs of humans like gas station attendant so i was just curious and this cafe x is interesting this another one that's doing it for pizza i think it's called zoom it's a called zoom that was one of the popular ones soft bank put like i don't know five hundred million into it or something ridiculous which sounds silly but i and this is i only did this research while we were talking it could be way off but i'm looking at a government website it seems legit do you know what percentage of working americans work in fast food oh man it's gonna be high but i'm gonna give you the homie move and say seven percent no that was way too much i i asked that poorly so about a about three and a half million americans work in fast few jobs which is like at one point that that's that's significant dude that's significant ten percent of those work at mcdonald's so mcdonald's employees like two hundred fifty three hundred thousand people it's kind of astonishing i'm i'm a fairly libertarian in person but when i think of these things i'm like what are these people gonna do for where i mean there's just that's only we're only talking about fast fast food you talk about all these other things i mean potentially five or ten percent of americans of workers it's like you know maybe maybe you don't have a lot of that many skills like when these things happen i'm like i don't know what's gonna happen with these people it's it's not a good situation it almost is more scary than it is interesting you know what i'm saying yeah people always say that i don't know i just feel like it's there's really two questions which is like a is this new no for forever technology has been like making things easier and getting rid of jobs like okay you know maybe we were you know doing stuff by hand on the fields and then we got the tractor and that like maybe reduce them number of people you needed by ten x in order to run a farm and you know with all the automation by the way the farming industry has massive stuff subsidies i mean they like there's some farmers that are so efficient and so good there's more nuanced to this so someone's gonna correct me but basically some farm my parents working the agriculture trade industry it's kinda how i know this some farms are so big and so good the government will pay you money not to grow a crop because they say you're gonna screw up a whole market if you overflow us accordingly yes it's called the farm act i believe or is was that the farmer act there's a there's a couple acts a couple bills in in america well they will pay you money not to do anything because they say you're gonna disrupt you're gonna you're you're gonna make too much you i we don't want to screw this up yeah and so the farming thing is a good example and what has happened is the government is heavily involved that sounds the sounds so stupid i i i really overs simplified that but it is basically the case where you get paid not to do something because you will disrupt the market too much that's insane to me i mean aren't there people that food and aren't there our price is high higher than ever like that's like crazy to be that we're not for like corn i mean corn i mean like america does like two a few things really well one we produce really good entertainment so like our big biggest export you could say is like culture you know movies and music and fashion and the second best thing is corn like our ability to create corn is like phenomenal we create corn so well i mean corn syrup is and everything ethanol fuel is made out of corn everything's out of corn we are really good at making corn so i don't know i think with corn i think we're we're kinda we kinda nailed that one we kinda that's a home run yeah okay i don't know about this to to really speak on it but i guess what my point is over time technology technologies has just gotten more and more pervasive and it's like what's what happened to all the horse carriage drivers what happened to all the people that worked in factories what happened to all the people that did this and that and the reality is like they shift they shift around so you know some people will become robot attendance and they'll become good at like managing and cleaning the robots and many in fixing them when they when they bug out some people shift into a new type of labor and like whether that's they become entertainer on social media they become you know there's new jobs that will get created from every single thing that think gets done and like you know what's the other question is like what's the alternative do you pump the brakes on making things better faster cheaper like that doesn't seem like you it's possible or real or like yeah like i'm not gonna let i'm not gonna let like my feelings to a way of like progress and technology i'm just saying like it it that doesn't mean that it's not frightening yeah i i think you know there's a little bit of carnage whenever any change happens whether it's you know change for the good or it's changed for the bad right like i i think any there's there's a little bit of collateral damage along the way and the question is like you know that also creates opportunities because if you created a business that res skills people not only are there gonna be a lot of people that need res skill but maybe the government will pay you to help res skill workers in the economy so so the free market can come up with a solution to how to absorb this labor how to res skill this labor and do things like that so i i don't really worry about stuff like that but i do think that it's very interesting to me that these are robotic like these general purpose robot robot like pieces can now be programmed to do just a variety of things that are otherwise you know today human labor i can find this client in full have you heard of hubspot hubspot is a crm platform so it shares its data across every application every team can stay aligned though out of sync spreadsheets are doing databases hubspot grow better have you seen this tv show called the bear i've seen a few episodes i haven't finished i'm alright so so the background in the show is it necessarily the important topic here but i it's a topic i wanna ask you about but the background is basically a restaurant in chicago the owner kills himself and the the brother inherit this restaurant and it's a mess and the brother is a trained chef from french laundry which is like the best restaurant in the world and he comes to this kinda like shit whole restaurant and he's gotta turn it around so the whole that's the whole premise and i'm watching this show and i used to work at a restaurant like most kids if you know fifteen sixteen seventeen eighteen i i worked at a restaurant and this show might this this show reminded me how miserable they are and like this goes on the list like right below like music festivals of things and businesses that you should never start and run from no matter almost no matter how good they are and or like this why music festivals what's wrong with music festival dude any business that you could that you spend eighteen months working on and if it rains that day you're completely screwed like that that's a one out of you know three hundred sixty five chant i mean more than that mean it's more than one time a year but like the odds that like rain come and ruin your whole years of work that's the horrible that's like i'm i don't wanna join that business i mean like music festivals they they're just horrible in they're horrible because the bigger and more people who bet that go and the more money you make the worse the experience gets that's why i always disliked conferences i was like damn the better i make this for me the worst it is for the attendee and thus harder for the get them to come back over and over again and with a restaurant you see inside this kitchen at the bear at the the it's called like chicago beef i think you see the behind the scenes of the restaurant it is impossible this is playing business on the hardest mode possible people are angry people are vulgar all the time ever when i you still work at a restaurant like there was a huge contingency of drug addicts you know you get off work at two am what are you gonna you're gonna go immediately go to the bar and get screwed up and then come back to work stay at eleven lots of drug addicts lots of people calling to sick for work lots of people angry but of vulgar hostility this looks like a horrible business to be in your sushi restaurant was probably a little bit different than this but was it at all similar to what i'm seeing in the bear well ours wasn't just because a we only ran it for three months and yeah we were only open and lie for three months and b we were the we were the labor for most of that we only had a couple other people the but what way i experienced was we we went and worked in other restaurants to shout out to learn how do you actually run a restaurant right so like we worked in other sushi restaurants but buddy dan worked inside of a noodles company to see like how does a fast casual like process thing work or whatever and how does that work with lot of salt the understood he was just i dude i because we used to eat at these places he's like don't order the tomato bi i was like the best gets a soup the soup is the good thing he's i don't order the tomato this i was like i was like what what's wrong he's just like right you never seen salt like you see in the biz i was like he's it's like somebody who was just like traumatized by what they saw and it's just like dude those people in the back don't give a shit they're gonna put whatever they want in this it does and the things that they're supposed to put are so bad for you and this stuff just sits around and like he's like don't don't eat this stuff i was like okay yeah sometimes the less you know like i remember when we were working in the kitchen we worked out of a comm area kitchen so there's other people there the food truck people would come prep there the cater and the worst was the guy who would sell hotdog dogs hear like a hotdog dog stand not no offense but like he would just come in with three hundred fifty hot dogs he would pour them all into the sink and we're like that's the sink where we do everybody does their dishes in there it's like pouring your hot dogs in a hot tub and then he was like just started turned up the water which just washing them and then was just like chuck them to the side after they've been like rinse for a second i was like first all why are you washing the hotdog dog why didn't this need washing it was like a it came out of a package you washed it you washed it in the gross sink possible and you just threw it on the side i was like somebody's gonna eat that like six hours i was like i will never eat a hot again i think forget about what even went into the hotdog dog which i think in itself is gross like you even watch these documentaries about like you know farming and something like that i was like just watching this dude watched thought times before taking into the ball game this is dude by the way sick you say no offense is not gonna be my new na so i'm gonna be like i'm just gonna be talking about it they like yeah dude i was run this guy are least smelled so bad no offense and i'm just gonna start saying no offense it it's like all time and like i'll i'll walk around the streets and they're disgusting no offense and this first was so annoying no offense i've wrong with annoying people so no defense yeah let's certainly say no offense i'm a throw defense there is there all the time that's the amazing that's disgusting but you anyway this show what's interesting about it though and this is a lot of similarities i see in what you and i do what a lot of our friends doing a lot of listeners do is they are so passionate about this thing and it efforts first i was like why are they so passionate about this and i started i was like oh wait no this is just their this is the just their stick you know my it's a little bit different but it's like the same type of obsessed they love it they love it so anyway cool show and and and i wonder to bring it up wasn't sure if it was similar to your restaurant experience i think it was like we we used to do a thing you get off at one am and then are you you you know you the the thing closed at in midnight you gotta clean up prep for the next day it's one before you get out of there and now you're hungry tired you don't wanna eat your own food so you go to another restaurant they're getting off they'll just cook free for free but then like you know two people doing cocaine into the bathroom and you're like this isn't like you know the most productive lifestyle the restaurant industry i would say the bonding is very like the cam was amazing and i would say there's something very soul about like feeding people that's like really great but then the hours are brutal it is business on hard mode and there's a lot of like d same thing with like poker i used to play poker i love the game of poker i hated sitting in a casino playing poker because i just felt like i was surrounded by so many d degenerate and i was like this is not a high quality of living like just sitting here in this kind of artificial air with this guy who's like fell asleep next to me because he's been here for forty two hours straight like this is not who i wanna surround myself with i need to get out of this situation let me tell you about something that is the opposite of that kind of a an inspiring work environment so i saw this tiktok and it just i saw two tiktok i wanna remind i wanna tell you about i'm not gonna play them here because it'll take a little too long maybe the youtube video we can we can play them but wanna know if you've seen these one went viral so it was did you see this viral clip of the pitcher on the metz coming out to the coming out to pitch like the closer so he was coming out to do his thing and it's normally on tv they just cut to commercial in between like the chain like the the lineup change because it's like whatever it's gonna be two minutes guys gotta warm up he's gotta run out from the bull pen that takes a little while baseball slow already he's gotta warm up then whatever they usually come back but this time they stuck with it so they showed did you see this clip or am i just i describe it going keep going to the the show from behind the guy like walking out from the thing emerging basically into the stadium so they have a dope camera shop oh than they're using that u lens you noticed all these guys are using the the the you got beautiful lens where it like blur out the bag it's the most special yeah yeah and then they and the guy normally comes out to this song i don't even know what's it's called it's like whatever i don't know the guy timmy timmy trumpets is like the singer you know the these he's featured on it it's just a guy with trumpet but the metz had brought the guy there live and so he was kinda hiding and he comes out he's got his little trumpet and he's got a microphone on the end of the trumpet and he starts playing the song and he's playing the song live the guy's running out into like the roaring crowd and it's just saber one two three inning and out to me trumpet takes center stage as said when diaz gets ready to come in alright business is cool but like god sports some music just have this special thing this special moment these special feelings that you you can't there's nobody is that passionate about our podcast nobody's that passionate about this piece of software but when this moment hits the guy runs out he's the hero the trumpet guy there he's playing the crowds going nuts and it was just like this special moment and it was a lot of show ship and so i just i i watched that and i get this feeling i'm like that was dope i'm glad that they went that extra mile for that show shift does that create i will never watch baseball but like i'm a fan of like this guy that's all you don't baseball at all right now wait too slow for you right too serious a too boring used to love it but you know when i was a kid so now i swipe up on tiktok the next video is this teacher and the it says revealing the music the the year musical part one and i'm like i don't know what i i just hung around for an extra second to watch it he goes he goes alright and this year the musical is gonna be and he like reveals the whiteboard and there's nothing there and then there's like a small envelope and everyone's like what what and then he's like he opens up the envelope like he's like it's gonna be hold up this just says turn on the computer and then the the students are like what's going on here and clearly the teacher had kinda set up a bit to like just make it more fun and like you know everybody loves this because it's like here's this teacher of like a middle school or a high school or something like that they didn't have to do this like you know most teachers are just sort of like they wanna just roll out the tv on the black you know like trolley and just be like alright guys just watch this fucking movie for an hour and like just leave right like being a teacher is exhausting and like it's easy it would it would be very easy to phone it in most don't and some like this guy go the extra mile so now he clicks his computer and it's a video and it's him and he's like hey it's me from the future and he's just like he's a silly bit but he's talking back to it he's like he's like what are you doing here like i don't i read the envelope said to turn the he's like just gonna do whatever the envelope says and it's like it goes back and forth so he's like doing this skit with himself good and he's like oh he's like and it freezes and then it freezes and it says wait everybody look under your desk and like one kid has the special thing and it it was like this elaborate almost like an escape room leading up to this reveal and i saw that and so what was the play videos viral the play was like i didn't remember it was like it was like not something like that cool it was like you know lame miserable rob blah and whatever i was like so like why i was like who cares like but like by the end the students are going nuts because there's some invested at this point they they sort of midway through they realized okay this is cheesy but i'm into it he's doing this for us and like alright i wanna know he built up tension and the reason i bring up these examples is because there is a word that my trainer uses all the time and nobody else in my life i know talks about this my trainer all the time goes yeah you gotta have a little show ship and show ship is a word that i think like for most of us doesn't even enter our brain on a day to day basis and my trainer will always tell me he's like you know he'll be at starbucks before you know who he'll go get a coffee before our session and he'll always tell me these stories he's like you know i i decided to add a little show so i told him my name was blah blah they wrote it on the cup and then by the time the person was done you know i told them like you know whatever you know he'll like you know he'll he'll say you know bond james bond and then they'll just laugh they'll have a little chuckle and then they'll write bond he's like add the comma james bond and then they'll do it they'll laugh a little more and now he just like made their day a little more entertaining than it was than it had to be if he just said my name is john and okay cool you're just another john and so when he always talks about adding show and ship and it's just like walking through life and just identify little moments or you can do something slightly different than like than the norm and i have a like i have kids now so i do this with my daughter all the time like we used to have such a hard time getting her to eat and my mother like came over and like you know as a classic sort of like mother law's thing she's like always being like do this do that you guys are doing this wrong like you know it's sure she's got got out thirty years of parenting day experience we got two but like it's also really annoying to be told what to do and how to parent better and how to like do this do that so we're normally my default was kind of annoyed but one day she was like she was like like the milk bottle was like way less so how how'd you get her to drink the milk and she's like oh she loves to drink out of this like little measuring cup instead of like the normal cup and she goes change of presentation and i go and i was like and so now me and my wife will always joke because always like oh god so annoyed was telling us supposed to do but then like like sometimes she does pull these like raven out of her hat and like you know we'll do something my dad doesn't wanna do and then we just changed the like changed the presentation of how we're getting her to do it and all of a sudden she's super locked in like i do this now when i feed i i couldn't get her to eat vegetables so i decided to create like my own version of the show chopped so i'm like okay close your eyes i'm gonna put one thing in front of you and i'm in front of your brother and like take the bite and then you need to tell me is it one thumbs up two thumbs up or thumbs down and then i do a huge reaction based on the score they give me and she's like i wanna play the close eyes game i wanna play the close eyes game because she and i can get her to eat a whole meal if i'm willing to basically create a television show out of it it's really like exhausting for me but honestly it's like also kinda fun and it gets her to eat anything whereas otherwise that's actually even more exhausting to try to feed or something she just want and so this idea of show keeps weaving its way into my life and i wanted to bring this up because for somebody out there they're gonna basically use this as like your word of the day find a way to like weave in a little more show ship into what you're doing little change of presentation as we say have you do you think about this at all i do and so i i went i to go find it but have you heard of this guy named trend griffin he's like this like sixties maybe white at least sixty something years old white dude and this twitter bio just says like i used to work with bill gates at microsoft so you're like oh you're automatically like why isn't interesting so he he has a blog called twenty five iq and i was reading it the other of the day in he of this article called a dozen beliefs about business money and life that kanye west shares with other great entrepreneurs and investors i was like oh that's an interesting title and the very first line has always stuck with me and it's about con it's from kanye it says for me first of all dope is what i like the most dope people who wanna make things as dope as possible and and by default make money from it and i always think about that quote because i also get caught up and like well this does this and this says this and this says this and it's how it makes money and i'm like oh yeah but this is super lame and not that cool i'd like this sucks my soul what am i doing like this isn't awesome you know and and it's like well what is awesome i don't know exactly how to explain it but i do think about that all the time where i'll try like nickel and dime things about what i'm gonna buy or like the other day i bought some like air force ones and i was like trying to like get like this cheap ones and i'm like i can get the two hundred fifty dollar air force ones and i don't have to justify it like if they're cool they're cool they're dope do doing it no matter what and i always have to justify like certain decisions to myself was like this is just cool do it because it's cool i only have one life so yeah think about this all the time yeah do it because it's cool i think it's a great like you know for for most people who listen to this podcast they're probably like pie achieve types and they're probably rational and like analytical about a lot of decisions and so i think for that audience actually you need to add more of this other ingredient which is the yeah for sure do it because it's cool if don't measure it and also honestly the same thing can either be done boring or dope it's like it's not the thing that's dope yeah it's you do the thing that's dope or not dope and so you know the broccoli itself wasn't dope when i turned it into this game i made it more dope for her and therefore she has a different experience and i have a different experience in doing it and if i consistently do that well there's just more experiences throughout my day that are dope and what's a dope life it's a bunch of dope days what's a bunch of dope days it's a bunch of dope experiences throughout the day right you just break it down into a moment like you could break it down into its atomic unit and realize that like the boring this or like routine of your life is like you know in your own hands and if you just add a little show to yourself and to the people around you you kinda change how the experience feels you'll dealers in in many ways but like you know i'm seeing how this helps me and i wanted to share this little framework do you remember boosted skateboard yeah these are all over the place in san francisco people would like skateboard up the hill it's was like you know francisco gonna so healing it's like look like magic how are they going up this and now like electric scooters of the norm so like the bird scooters and only scooter so that's like considered normal now but about eight years ago boosted skateboard can with this long board skateboard that would go twenty five miles an hour i remember i bought one and it was crazy it was so cool and i met the founder and i was like tell me by your background he's like i worked at nasa and i was doing this other thing and then i thought about like working in the government and like sending people mars i thought that had been like interesting but i decided to launch this the skateboard company i was like well you know are you interested in skateboard he's like no i i was like were you interested in this other he's like no not really i was like well you why'd you go to skateboard he goes because it's fucking awesome and i i remember be i remember had saying that and i was like well yeah you get you got a point yeah it is it is awesome and i when he told me that i just i remember a shift happened in my life it's like oh yeah yeah that that's a that's a good addition i gotta add that to my like box of checks checkbox you know of things to do like you know it makes money it makes my mom proud it's effing awesome i remember him saying that now i was like yeah you're you're right right yeah tony robbins has the thing he says which is like you will you will only meet the you'll meet your standards not your not your desires and basically like a standard is like more of a must a standard is like you know i'm not gonna eat at a restaurant if i saw flies flying a around that's below my standard and so an important thing to figure out is like what are my standards for the things that i do in my life it sounds like for this guy one of his standards for like what do i work on is is this awesome or not whereas for a lot of people that shit is completely optional nice to have for sure the bills it's not part of the standard and then you meet certain people and this is the best thing you could do like why do people have that phrase of like you are the average of the five people you spend your most the most time with is it's because fundamentally you will adopt the standards of the people you're around it's not because they'll teach you things it's not because they'll give you good advice it's because fundamentally you will adopt the centers like i remember we have a couple friends who are like you like you're one of my friends who is very fit i have other friends that are that are very fit or they care about being very fit and whenever there's a question i'm like we're you know let's go grab some food where do guys wanna eat it's like i know that i can't suggest you know i can't cheesecake factory not on the list you know like i can't i can't take these guys there that's not there the their standard is that that's not what they eat and so like you know i automatically i will start to only suggest and therefore only go to places that i know meets their standard of what they they can consistently really like i could i fucks with cheesecake factory hardcore get that chicken pic pecan all day yeah i'm not about it yeah we have a we have a couple friends that like is like oh cool like what you ordered the what's good here i've never been to this quite sale dude can i talk about something that that i can't decide if if actually and we could wrap up with the it i can't decide if it's awesome and dope or not so basically i wanna give like people perspective on you and like behind a scene so you and i sean and i get dm or cold email all the time and a very common thing is hey can i like give you content to share and i'll do it for free or something like that and the bad thing about freeze you kinda get you pay for so when it's free shit you're like oh it's too much work i don't wanna share your stuff on twitter i don't wanna share your stuff on whatever it's just it's not good i don't wanna work on it for some reason i gave one of these kids a chance and i i say no to everyone i gave this kid a chance he dm to me and i was like you know i'll give you i'm gonna give you my password to my tiktok and i want you to impress me i go send me a picture of your social security card send me a picture of your boss and send me a picture of your driver's license and he did and i go alright if you fuck i was like if you want because i i was like if you screw me over here i'm gonna get you back so like i have your information here's my password to my tiktok i gave him the password showing shit by the way yeah it's great show shit a threat is also so that's mean i go look like if you do something bad to be able to get you and so i i gave him my password to my ticket your mother's address because i will be mailing her your index finger in an envelope if you yourself because there's like no information that i could get to like get back at this person you know what me mean like i'm like i need you to have something balance you can really screw me by on my account what am i gonna i need to equally be able to screw you okay i can't it continue yeah and i gave them the password to my tiktok it's been one week so in one week this kid has taken you and i videos and posted two a day on tiktok and in six days maybe i think one weeks tomorrow he's gotten one point five million views and i went from basically zero to like not have an account to like eight or nine thousand followers as of now a handful of videos have gotten one got five hundred thousand one got seven hundred thousand a bunch got fifty thousand plus hundred and fifty or two thousand likes tens of thousands of comments and i'm like that's kind of interesting but i don't exactly believe that this is true like i don't know if this is true and so i was like post a video where there's a call to action and so we did a video about my favorite book and it shot up the charts and i'm like alright people are actually like these people are somewhat engaged they're like buying a book with charts like on amazon you i mean yeah so and this second this is the second time that i did so one time i recommended a book and before i recommended it i took a picture of it's rating on amazon and then then i recommended it and the next day it was number one in the entrepreneurship category and number one in the business category and i took screenshots of it to to like prove it and it was it it was the book called how to get rich that that tweet reached two million people this other video that i did i talked about the same book and it shot up i think now it's number one in entrepreneurship again and it's that video has been viewed five hundred thousand bucks that's write our own book if you got this kind of oprah influence well what while you've referencing this guy's dead he doesn't need your help come on let's write our own book let's see okay yeah look how to get rich is now number thirty in all of audible and originals it's number one the small business category yeah look up how to get rich go look at right now look at the categories like it like skyrocketed it after this video and i can't decide if this whole tiktok game is that should do it where it's like these should just simpler which is just like if you're a real person i i don't know if these tiktok views are real or not if you're real just put like a one in the i just type the number one i am see here's gonna do that you know because because i i feel the same way about these tiktok views it's like our favorite words it's little little ga little ga there's a gazing for your eyes element to these tiktok views it's like how you know is this really one point five million people what does this mean did they actually watch it what's going on here if so that's amazing but i'm you know some things can be too good to be true but that's what showing up on my feed for what it's worth but i think it's because were i like two tech phones you're one of them this will this book video got four hundred fourteen thousand views a couple of them got seventy thousand fifty thousand we got have seven hundred thousand lots of twenty thousand i can't decide if this is real and if it is real i don't wanna sound like gary but i'm like oh everyone should do this like this is easy this is this kid in miami just doing with this and he just sp this up and it's working wonderfully and like you i don't i mean i think you're actually better than me but i'm not like that charismatic i'm not that good why is this game so easy and is this game is it real and also honestly is it worth it i'm not convinced that it's worth it well if you can spike a booking and them one of the charts that shows that there's some value there there's some influence there it's not just a number but yeah yeah it's kinda lame like a the most most there there's a lot of amazing stuff on tiktok basically these eighteen year old kids are like the most creative people ever but then there's guys like you and me these like money people and influencers and everyone's doing the same fucking circle jerk alex or mo stuff and it's really lame and so i don't know how to make it interesting and right now what i'm doing i think is not interesting but the results are incredible yeah but is it effing awesome to go back to your standard tb kb you know what's effing awesome is when you create content and then like someone like legitimately famous and cool like hassan hassan like holler at you and then you're you're like yeah this is the awesome part about it so like like that you know what i mean like that's worth all the lame tweets that you and i have done and it's getting to hang out with like a couple of really cool people you know what's cool about selling your soul something someone pays the price right you know it's cool about being a who that he's up the money yeah it's out of that we're out
