The School of Greatness · Big Sean: The Scarcity Illusion He Broke for His Family · 20 Jan 2025 podcast

That actually was the first book that broke down money as an energy. And when I first, when I read it, I was like, what? Man. He was just saying just like anything like you can attract it is magnetic. So you could really be a magnet for whatever it is your afterlife. And that includes money isn't off the table.

And, you know, so one of the things that I had to adopt is that there's enough money for everyone to go around. You don't have to look at it as like you're in a desert and there's like a glass of water and you have to, you know, it's not like that. money is getting printed every single day.

Like, when I first read that book, I was 17, I believe. So that's when I was like, okay, I tried to like, obviously, I didn't have a dollar to my name. So I mean, besides the $20 I would get for allowance every week for doing chores and stuff, but like,

I had to learn the concept from experience.

at first it was like, hold on to your money, hold on to it, right? It's like, that's like the thing. You can get your money, hold on to it. And it's like, I remember when I got my first advance check for $15,000 and I took my girlfriend to get ice cream and it went down to $14,970. And I was like, ooh, it's going away. Yeah, it's like you felt it.

And like that, the reason that it felt like that is because that's not in alignment with how it should be. You know, I really feel like that. Like,

it feels good when you can like provide and like you know because you you are you are you're like a vessel man and it's like whatever you choose to activate and by the way my life now doesn't go exactly how I always wanted to go I don't like there are times where like things happen and I'll be like why did this is not how I wanted this to go this is not how I wanted it to happen but

And you just got to move on, man, and just go to the next thing. But my point is, is when I started when I started to implement that, was around the time, like I said, around 19 when I got my first advance check. And then, like, every time that I was like, oh, wait, it's getting low, there's always an opportunity for something else to figure your way.

And that's when you do right by yourself and when you do right by, you know, everyone around you and when you are empowering people and when you're trying to, like, just be who you are meant to be, the best you. It's like things, I promise you, is going to happen for you.

Lately, I need to, I've told myself, like, I need to be a little more grateful for the money that does come in. I've kind of have gotten like, oh, okay, cool. Used to, oh, okay, this. Oh, we got that check. Okay, cool. Oh, that came in, that deposit hit. And I don't, I told myself, like, by the way, I do affirmations every day, so it's like I'm grateful is one of them.

I'm thankful for my life and every aspect of it. But I do want to just put – I do want God to know because – I always like to think that God gives us everything we need, right? And a lot of times what we want as well, especially when it aligns with what we need. And one of the things that I want is money, right?

And then when it comes in, I shouldn't just pretend like it's supposed to be like that. I should really acknowledge it and be grateful for it more. So I've actually and that kind of comes with just having a busy schedule. I'm still a new dad in a sense. I'm still, you know, a lot. I have a lot of hats as a person and you kind of like lose the importance of a lot of things.

So I've been I've been meaning to like really moment by moment be grateful. You know what I mean?

It does.

Oh, I'm going to use that. Where do you want to go? It flows. Everything. Man, that gave me goosebumps, man. Because everything has...

a life to it even like making music it's like i i sometimes like when i'm on a beat i ask myself like okay what does this song want to be where does you know what does it want to go what do you want me to say on it and sometimes i'll get it then and that that should go for everything and i i do have a very like diverse portfolio when it comes to like finances and stuff like i do have like stuff in the stock market stuff in crypto real estate

um i invested in businesses that worked and didn't work you know i made money off some um what's the best investment you've ever made in your life best investment i've ever made in my life currently probably the return was probably bitcoin i ain't gonna lie i also invested in uber which has kind of been a long play i kind of got in a little bit late with uber but

I think one day it's gonna pay off, but really the whole point of my portfolio is to pass on to my kid, or I only have one now, or my kids, you know?

probably spending all my money on studio sessions growing up. That was probably the best investment yet. Cause it was, it trained me to like be in a studio, be on a mic to write music, you know, and I've written music for like, not just myself, but I've also written some stuff for other people. Like I've written stuff for Janae.

I've written stuff for, I got to write with Anderson Pack and Bruno Mars and like some other people, obviously for Ye as well. Like, I've gotten a chance to like be a writer in that sense, not just for myself and not like I'm not saying I wrote like people's albums.
