Hey, this is Nivi,
0:00
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
you're listening to the Naval Podcast.
0:02
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
This is one giant megasode that collects every episode
0:07
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
we've done on getting rich,
0:08
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
all of it based on his tweetstorm of how to get rich
0:13
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
without getting lucky.
0:14
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
I've collected them all here because we're going to switch topics to
0:18
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
the new topic of happiness on the next episode.
0:20
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
We've published one of these giant megasodes before,
0:23
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
but this one's even bigger.
0:25
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
It's about three and a half hours long.
0:28
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
It covers all the tweets from the How to Get Rich tweetstorm,
0:31
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
plus all the Q &A that we did after that,
0:34
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
plus 10 minutes of bonus material at the very end
0:38
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
that we've never released.
0:39
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
The overall sound quality of this megasode improves
0:43
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
a lot after the first hour.
0:45
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
You can find a link to a clean transcript in the show notes,
0:48
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
or if you go to the website nav .al.
0:51
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
There's no .com at the end.
0:53
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
I hope you enjoy.
0:56
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
You probably know Naval from his Twitter account,
0:59
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
and we're going to be talking about his epic tweet storm on how to
1:03
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
get rich without getting lucky.
1:05
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
We're going to go through most of the tweets in detail,
1:07
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
give Naval a chance to expand on them and just generally riff on the topic.
1:11
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
He'll probably throw in some ideas that he hasn't even published before.
1:15
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
He's also the co -founder of AngelList and Epinions.
1:19
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
He's a prolific tech investor in companies like Twitter,
1:22
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Uber and many more.
1:24
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
And I'm the co -founder of AngelList with Naval,
1:27
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
and I also co -authored the Venture Hacks blog with him back in the day.
1:30
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Yeah,
1:31
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
the How to Get Rich Street Storm definitely hit a nerve.
1:34
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
A lot of people say it was helpful,
1:36
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
reach across aisles,
1:37
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
and people outside of the tech industry,
1:39
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
people in all walks of life,
1:40
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
people do want to know how to solve their money problems.
1:43
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
And everyone vaguely knows that they want to be wealthy,
1:47
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
but they don't have a good set of principles to do it by.
1:50
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
What's the difference between wealth?
1:53
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Money and status.
1:55
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Wealth is the thing that you really want.
1:57
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Wealth is assets that earn while you sleep.
2:00
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Wealth is the factory,
2:01
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
the robots that's cranking out things.
2:03
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Wealth is the computer program that's running at night that's serving other customers.
2:08
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Wealth is even money in the bank that is being reinvested
2:12
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
into other assets and into other businesses.
2:15
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Even a house can be a form of wealth because you can rent it out.
2:18
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Although that's probably a lower use of productivity in the land than actually doing some commercial
2:23
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
enterprise.
2:23
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
So my definition of wealth is much more businesses and assets
2:27
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
that can earn while you sleep.
2:29
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
But really the reason you want wealth is because it buys your freedom.
2:33
S… Speaker 3 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
So you don't have to wear a tie like a collar around your neck.
2:35
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
So you don't have to wake up at 7 a .m.
2:37
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
and rush to work and sit in commute traffic.
2:39
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
So you don't have to waste away your entire life grinding all the productive hours into
2:43
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
a way to a soulless job that doesn't fulfill you.
2:46
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
So the purpose of wealth is freedom.
2:48
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
It's nothing more than that.
2:49
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
It's not to buy fur coats or drive Ferraris or sail yachts or jet around the world
2:53
S… Speaker 3 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
near Gulf Stream.
2:54
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
That stuff gets really boring and really stupid really fast.
2:57
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
It's really just so that you are your own sovereign individual.
3:01
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
You're not going to get that unless you really want it.
3:04
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
And the entire world wants it.
3:06
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
And the entire world is working hard at it.
3:08
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
And to some extent,
3:09
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
it is competitive.
3:10
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
It's a positive sum game,
3:11
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
but there are competitive elements to it.
3:13
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Because there's a finite amount of resources right now in society,
3:16
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
and to get the resources to do what you want,
3:18
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
you have to stand out.
3:19
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Money is how we transfer wealth.
3:23
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Money is social credits.
3:24
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
It is the ability to have credits and debits on other people's time.
3:29
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
If I do my job right,
3:31
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
if I create value for society,
3:33
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
society says,
3:34
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
oh, thank you.
3:35
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
We owe you something in the future for the work that you did in the past.
3:38
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Here's a little I owe you.
3:40
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Let's call that money.
3:41
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
And that money gets debased because people steal the IOUs,
3:45
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
the government prints extra IOUs,
3:47
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
people renege on their IOUs.
3:48
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
But really what money is trying to be is it's trying to be a reliable
3:52
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
IOU from society that you are owed something for something you or
3:57
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
someone who gave you the money did in the past.
3:59
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
And we can transfer these IOUs around.
4:01
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
So really money is how we transfer wealth.
4:03
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
There are fundamentally two huge games in life that people play.
4:06
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
One is the money game because
4:08
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Money is not going to solve all your problems,
4:10
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
but it's going to solve all your money problems.
4:12
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
So I think that people know that.
4:13
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
They realize that so they want to make money.
4:15
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
But at the same time,
4:16
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
many of them deep down believe that they can't make it.
4:19
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
They don't want any wealth creation to happen.
4:21
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
So they virtue signal by attacking the whole enterprise by saying,
4:25
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
well, making money is evil and you shouldn't do it,
4:28
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
blah, blah, blah.
4:28
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
But what they're trying to do is they're actually playing the other game,
4:31
S… Speaker 4 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
which is a status game.
4:32
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
They're trying to be high status in the eyes of other people watching.
4:36
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
by saying, well, I don't need money,
4:38
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
we don't want money.
4:38
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
And then status is just your ranking in the social hierarchy.
4:42
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
So wealth is not a zero -sum game.
4:44
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Everybody in the world can have a house.
4:46
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Because you have a house doesn't take away from my ability to have a house.
4:49
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
If anything,
4:49
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
the more houses that are built,
4:51
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
the easier it becomes to build houses,
4:53
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
the more we know about building houses,
4:54
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
and just the more people that can have houses.
4:57
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
So wealth is a very positive sum game.
5:00
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Ďakujem za pozornosť.
5:00
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Ďakujem za pozornosť.
5:02
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Ďakujem za pozornosť.
5:10
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Status, on the other hand,
5:11
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
is a zero -sum game.
5:12
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
It's a very old game.
5:14
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
We've been playing it since Monkey Tribes,
5:16
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
and it's hierarchical,
5:17
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
who's number one,
5:18
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
who's number two,
5:18
S… Speaker 3 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
who's number three.
5:19
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
And for number three to move to number two,
5:21
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
number two has to move out of that slot.
5:23
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
So status is a zero -sum game.
5:25
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Politics is an example of a status game.
5:27
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Even sports is an example of a status game.
5:30
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
To be the winner,
5:30
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
there must be a loser.
5:31
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
I don't fundamentally love status games.
5:34
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
They play an important role in our society,
5:36
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
so we figure out who's in charge.
5:37
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
But fundamentally,
5:38
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
you play them because they're a necessary evil.
5:40
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
The problem is on an evolutionary basis,
5:43
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
like if you go back thousands of years,
5:45
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
status is a much better predictor of survival than wealth is.
5:48
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
You couldn't have wealth before the farming age,
5:51
S… Speaker 3 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
before farmers,
5:52
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
because you couldn't store things.
5:53
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Hunter -gatherers carried everything on their backs.
5:55
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
So hunter -gatherers lived entirely in status -based societies.
5:58
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Farmers started going to wealth -based societies,
6:00
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
and the modern industrial economies are much more heavily wealth -based societies.
6:05
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
But there's always a subtle competition going on between status and wealth.
6:09
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
For example, when journalists attack rich people or attack the technology
6:13
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
industry, they're really bidding for status.
6:15
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
They're saying, no,
6:16
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
the people are more important and I,
6:19
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
the journalist, represent the people and therefore I am more important.
6:22
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
The problem is that by playing these status games,
6:25
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
to win at a status game,
6:26
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
you have to put somebody else down.
6:28
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
That's why you should avoid status games in your life.
6:31
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Because they make you into an angry,
6:33
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
combative person.
6:34
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
You're always fighting to put other people down,
6:37
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
to put yourself and the people that you like up.
6:39
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
And they're always going to exist.
6:41
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
There's no way around it.
6:42
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
But just realize that most of the times when you're trying to create wealth,
6:45
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
you're actually getting attacked by someone else.
6:48
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
And they're trying to look like a goody two shoes.
6:50
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
But really what they're doing is they're trying to up their own status at your expense.
6:54
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
They're just playing a different game and it's a worse game.
6:57
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
It's a zero sum game instead of a positive sum game.
7:00
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
One thing you mentioned before the interview that stuck with me was the idea
7:05
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
that you think everyone can become rich and that perhaps
7:09
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
some of the ways of getting rich or the idea of wealth is
7:13
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
vilified by some people in other countries.
7:15
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Do you want to expand on that a little bit?
7:18
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Yeah, I think there's this notion that making money is
7:23
S… Speaker 3 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
evil, right?
7:23
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
It's like rooted all the way back down to money is the root of all evil.
7:26
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
People think that the bankers steal our money.
7:29
S… Speaker 3 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
And, you know,
7:30
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
it's somewhat true in that in a lot of the world,
7:32
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
there's a lot of theft going on all the time.
7:34
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
The history of the world in some sense is this predator -prey
7:39
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
relationship between makers and takers.
7:41
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
There are people who go out and create things and build things and work hard on things.
7:44
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
And then there are people who come along and take with a sword or a gun or taxes or crony
7:49
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
capitalism or communism or what have you.
7:51
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
There's all these different methods to steal.
7:53
S… Speaker 3 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Even in nature,
7:54
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
there are more parasites than there are non -parasitical organisms.
7:57
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
You have ton of parasites in you who are living off of you.
8:00
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
And the better ones are symbiotic or giving something back.
8:03
S… Speaker 4 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
But there are a lot that are just taking.
8:04
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
That's just the nature of how any complex system is built.
8:08
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
But what I am focused on is true wealth creation.
8:12
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
It's not about taking money.
8:14
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
It's not about taking something from somebody else.
8:16
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
But it's from creating abundance.
8:17
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Obviously,
8:18
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
there's not a finite number of jobs or a finite amount of wealth.
8:20
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Otherwise, we would still be sitting around in caves,
8:22
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
figuring out how to divide a piece of firewood and,
8:25
S… Speaker 3 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
you know, the occasional dead deer.
8:26
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
So most of the wealth in civilization,
8:28
S… Speaker 3 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
in fact,
8:29
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
not most, all of it has been created.
8:31
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
And it got created from somewhere.
8:33
S… Speaker 3 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
It got created from people.
8:34
S… Speaker 3 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
It got created from technology,
8:35
S… Speaker 3 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
got created from productivity,
8:36
S… Speaker 3 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
got created from hard work.
8:38
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
So this idea that it's stolen is,
8:40
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
I think, this horrible zero -sum game that people who are trying
8:44
S… Speaker 3 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
to gain status play.
8:46
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
But the reality is everyone can be rich.
8:49
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
And we can see that by seeing that in the first world,
8:52
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
everyone is richer than almost anyone who was alive 200 years ago.
8:55
S… Speaker 4 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
200 years ago,
8:57
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
nobody had antibiotics,
8:58
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
nobody had cars,
8:59
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
nobody had electricity,
9:00
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
nobody had the iPhone.
9:02
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
So all of these things are inventions that have made us wealthier as a species.
9:06
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Today,
9:07
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
I would rather be a poor person in a first world country than be a
9:11
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
rich person in Louis XIV's France.
9:13
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
I'd rather be a poor person today than an aristocrat back then.
9:16
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
And that's just because of wealth creation.
9:19
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
The engine of technology is science that is applied for the purpose of creating abundance.
9:23
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
So I think fundamentally,
9:25
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
everybody can be wealthy.
9:26
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
And the thought experiment I want you to think through...
9:29
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Imagine if everybody had the knowledge of a good software
9:34
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
engineer and a good hardware engineer.
9:36
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
If you could go out there and you could build robots and computers and
9:40
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
bridges and program them.
9:41
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Let's say every human knew how to do that.
9:43
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
What do you think society would look like in 20 years?
9:47
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
My guess is what would happen is we would build robots,
9:50
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
machines, software and hardware to do everything.
9:53
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
And we would all be living in massive abundance.
9:56
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
we would essentially be retired in the sense that none of us would have to work for any
10:00
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
We'd even have robotic nurses.
10:02
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
We'd have machine -driven hospitals.
10:04
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
We'd have self -driving cars.
10:06
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
We'd have farms that are 100 % automated.
10:09
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
We'd have clean energy.
10:10
S… Speaker 3 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
So at that point,
10:11
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
we could use technology breakthroughs to get everything that we
10:15
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
wanted.
10:16
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
And if anyone is still working at that point,
10:17
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
they're working as a form of expressing their creativity.
10:20
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
They're working because it's in them to contribute and to build and design things.
10:24
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
So I don't think capitalism is evil.
10:26
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Capitalism is actually good.
10:28
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
It's just that it gets hijacked.
10:30
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
It gets hijacked by improper pricing
10:32
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
of externalities. It gets hijacked
10:34
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
by improper deals
10:36
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
where you have corruption
10:38
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
or you have monopolies.
10:40
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Overall, capitalism is intrinsic
10:42
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
to the human species. Capitalism is not
10:44
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
something we invented. Capitalism is not
10:46
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
even something we discovered. It is
10:48
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
innate to us in every exchange that we have.
10:50
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
When you and I exchange information,
10:53
S… Speaker 3 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
I want some
10:54
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
information back from you, I give you information, you give me information.
10:57
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
If we weren't having a good information exchange,
10:59
S… Speaker 3 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
you'd go talk to somebody else.
11:01
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
So the notion of exchange and keeping track of credits and debits,
11:04
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
this is built into us as flexible social animals.
11:07
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
We are the only animals in the animal kingdom that cooperate across genetic boundaries.
11:11
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Most animals don't even cooperate,
11:13
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
but when they do,
11:14
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
they cooperate only in packs where they co -evolve together and they share
11:18
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
blood, so they have some shared interests.
11:20
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Humans don't have that.
11:21
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
And what lets us cooperate?
11:23
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
It's because we can keep track.
11:24
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
of debits and credits.
11:26
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Who put in how much work?
11:27
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Who contributed how much?
11:28
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
That's all free market capitalism is.
11:31
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
So I strongly believe that it is innate to the human species
11:35
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
and we are going to create
11:37
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
more and more wealth and abundance for everybody.
11:40
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Everybody can be wealthy.
11:41
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Everybody can be retired.
11:43
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Everybody can be successful.
11:44
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
It is merely a question of education and desire.
11:47
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
You have to want it.
11:48
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
If you don't want it, that's fine.
11:50
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Then you opt out of the game.
11:51
S… Speaker 3 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
But
11:51
S… Speaker 3 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
But don't try and put down the people who are playing the game,
11:54
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
because that's the game that keeps you in a comfortable warm bed at night.
11:58
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
That's the game that keeps a roof over your head.
12:00
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
That's the game that keeps your supermarket stock.
12:03
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
That's the game that keeps the iPhone buzzing in your pocket.
12:05
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
So it is a beautiful game that is worth playing ethically,
12:09
S… Speaker 3 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
rationally,
12:10
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
morally, socially for the human race.
12:12
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
And it's going to continue to make us all richer and richer until we have massive wealth
12:16
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
creation for anybody who wants it.
12:18
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
And it's not just individuals secretly despising wealth,
12:21
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
right? There's countries,
12:22
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
groups,
12:23
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
political parties that overtly despise wealth,
12:27
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
or at least seem to.
12:28
S… Speaker 4 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
That's right.
12:29
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
And so what those countries,
12:31
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
political parties and groups are reduced is playing the zero -sum game of status.
12:35
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
And in the process to destroy wealth creation,
12:37
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
they drag everybody down to their level,
12:38
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
which is why the U .S.
12:40
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
is a very popular country for immigrants,
12:42
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
because it's the American dream.
12:43
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Anyone can come here,
12:44
S… Speaker 4 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
be poor,
12:45
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
and then work really hard and make money and get wealthy,
12:48
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
but even just make some basic money for their lives.
12:50
S… Speaker 5 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Obviously,
12:51
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
the definition of wealth is different for different people.
12:53
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
A first world citizen's definition of wealth might be,
12:55
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
oh, I have to make millions of dollars and I'm completely done,
12:58
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
whereas to a third world poor immigrant just entering the country,
13:01
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
and we were poor immigrants who came here when I was fairly young to the United States,
13:05
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
wealth may just be a much lower number.
13:07
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
It may just be like,
13:07
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
I don't have to work a manual labor job for the rest of my life that I don't want to work.
13:12
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
But groups that despise it will essentially bring the entire group down
13:16
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
to that level.
13:16
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
If you get too many takers and not enough makers,
13:20
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
society falls apart.
13:21
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
You end up with a communist country,
13:23
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
look with Venezuela,
13:23
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
right?
13:24
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
They were so busy taking and dividing and reallocating that people are literally starving
13:28
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
in the streets and losing kilograms of body weight every year just through sheer
13:32
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
starvation.
13:33
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Another way to think about it is imagine an organism that has too many parasites.
13:37
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
You actually need some small number of parasites to stay healthy,
13:41
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
and you need a lot of symbiotes,
13:43
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
like all the mitochondria in all of our cells that help us respirate
13:47
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
and burn oxygen.
13:48
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
These are symbiotes that help us survive.
13:51
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
We couldn't survive without them.
13:52
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
But to me,
13:53
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
those are partners in the wealth creation that creates the human body.
13:56
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
But if you just were filled with parasites,
13:58
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
if you got infected with worms or a virus or bacteria that were purely
14:02
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
parasitical,
14:03
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
you would die.
14:05
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Any organism can only withstand a small number of parasites.
14:08
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
And when the parasitic element gets too far out of control,
14:12
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
you die.
14:12
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
So, you know,
14:13
S… Speaker 3 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
again,
14:14
S… Speaker 4 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
I'm talking about ethical wealth patient.
14:16
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
I'm not talking about monopolies.
14:17
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
I'm not talking about crony capitalism.
14:18
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
I'm not talking about mispriced externalities like the environment.
14:21
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
I'm talking about free minds and free markets,
14:24
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
small -scale exchange between humans that's voluntary and doesn't have an outsized
14:28
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
impact on others.
14:29
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
But I think that kind of wealth creation,
14:31
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
if a society does not respect it,
14:32
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
if a group does not respect it,
14:34
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
that society will plunge into ruin and darkness.
14:37
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Obviously, we want to be wealthy and we want to get there in this lifetime without
14:41
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
having to rely on luck.
14:43
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
A lot of people think making money is about luck.
14:45
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
It's not.
14:45
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
It's about becoming the kind of person that makes money.
14:48
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
I like to think that if I lost all my money and if
14:52
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
you dropped me on a random street in any English -speaking country,
14:55
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
within 5 -10 years,
14:57
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
I'd be wealthy again.
15:00
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
It's just a skill set that I've developed and I think anyone can develop.
15:03
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
In a thousand parallel universes,
15:05
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
you want to be wealthy in 999 of them.
15:08
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
You don't want to be wealthy in the 50 of them where you got lucky.
15:11
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
So we want to factor luck out of it.
15:13
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
There's really four kinds of luck that we were talking about.
15:15
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
This came from a book,
15:17
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
P.
15:17
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Mark Andreessen wrote a blog post about it.
15:20
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
But there's different kinds of luck.
15:22
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
The first kind of luck you might just say is like blind luck,
15:25
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
where I just got lucky because something...
15:28
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
completely out of my control happen.
15:29
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
That's fortune,
15:30
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
that's fate, etc.
15:31
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Then there's luck that comes through persistence,
15:34
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
hard work,
15:35
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
hustle, motion,
15:36
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
which is when you're just running around creating lots of opportunities,
15:39
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
you're generating a lot of energy,
15:41
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
you're doing a lot of things.
15:42
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Lots of things will just get stirred up in the dust.
15:45
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
It's almost like mixing a Petri dish and seeing what combines or mixing
15:49
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
a bunch of reagents and seeing what combines.
15:51
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
You're just generating enough force and hustle and energy that luck will
15:55
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
find you.
15:56
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
A third way is that you just become very good at spotting
16:00
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
luck.
16:01
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
So if you are very skilled in a field,
16:03
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
you will notice when a lucky break happens in that field when other people
16:07
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
who aren't attuned to it won't notice.
16:09
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
So you become sensitive to luck and that's through skill and knowledge and work.
16:13
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
And then the last kind of luck is the weirdest,
16:16
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
hardest kind,
16:17
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
but that's what we want to talk about,
16:18
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
which is where you build a unique character,
16:21
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
a unique brand,
16:22
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
a unique mindset where then luck finds you.
16:26
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
For example,
16:27
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
let's say that you're the
16:29
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
best person in the world at deep sea underwater diving.
16:33

And you're known to take on deep sea underwater dives that nobody else will
16:37
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
even attempt to dare.
16:38
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
And then by sheer luck,
16:41
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
somebody finds a sunken treasure ship off the coast they can't
16:45
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
get at. Well,
16:46
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
their luck just became your luck because they're going to come to you to get that treasure and
16:50
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
you're going to get paid for it.
16:51
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Now, that's an extreme example,
16:52
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
but it's just showing how like...
16:54
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
The person who got lucky by finding the treasure chest,
16:56
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
that was blind luck.
16:57
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
But them coming to you and asking you to extract it and having to give you half,
17:01
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
that's not luck.
17:02
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
You created your own luck.
17:03
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
You put yourself in a position to be able to capitalize on that luck or to attract
17:07
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
that luck when nobody else has created that opportunity for themselves.
17:11
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
So when we talk about without getting lucky,
17:14
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
we want to be deterministic.
17:15
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
We don't want to leave it to chance.
17:16
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Do you want to elaborate a little bit more on the idea that in a thousand parallel
17:21
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
universes,
17:21
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
you want to get rich in 999 of them?
17:25
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
I think some people are going to see that and say,
17:27
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
that sounds impossible,
17:29
S… Speaker 1 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
sounds like it's too good to be true.
17:31
S… Speaker 3 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
No,
17:32
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
I don't think it's impossible.
17:33
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
I think that you may have to work a little bit harder at it,
17:36
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
given your starting circumstances.
17:37
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
I mean,
17:38
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
remember, I started as a poor kid in India,
17:39
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
right?
17:40
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
So if I can make it,
17:41
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
anybody can,
17:42
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
in that sense.
17:43
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Now, obviously,
17:44
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
I had all my limbs and I had my mental faculties and I did have an education.
17:48
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
So there are some prerequisites you can get past.
17:50
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
But if you're listening to this video or podcast,
17:53
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
you probably have the requisite means at your disposal,
17:56
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
which is a functioning body and a functioning mind.
17:58
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
And I've encountered plenty of bad luck along the way.
18:01
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
First little fortune that I made,
18:02
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
I instantly lost in the stock market.
18:04
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
The second little fortune that I made,
18:06
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
or I should have made,
18:07
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
I got cheated by my business partners.
18:10
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
It's only the third time around has been a charm.
18:12
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
And even then,
18:13
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
it has been a slow and steady struggle.
18:15
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
And I haven't made money in my life in one giant payout.
18:19
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
It's always been a whole bunch of small things piling up.
18:23
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
So it's more about consistently creating wealth by creating businesses and
18:27
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
creating opportunities and creating investments.
18:29
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
It hasn't been like a giant one -off thing.
18:31
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
My personal wealth has not been generated by one big
18:36
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
year.
18:36
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
It just stacks up little bit chips at a time.
18:39
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
more options,
18:40
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
more businesses,
18:40
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
more investments,
18:41
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
more things I can do.
18:42
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
Same way,
18:43
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
someone like a Ninad,
18:44
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
he's building his brand online,
18:47
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
he's building videos.
18:48
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
It's not like any one video is going to suddenly shower him
18:52
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
with riches overnight.
18:52
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
It's going to be a long lifetime of learning,
18:56
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
of reading,
18:57
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
of creating that's just going to compound.
18:59
S… Speaker 2 (AudioTranscriberAI_How to Get Rich)
So we're talking about getting wealthy so you can retire,
