So what I see is most often the people who do really well financially who are young are They dropped out of school. They dropped out of university. They started learning how to do things by doing their own research. They start their own business or co-found a business. They take a very alternative path. None of that was taught to us at school. None of it's taught to us in normal society.

We have a school system that manufactures people for a set of skills that are not particularly valuable anymore and we also get them in debt for those skills. When people sidestep that and say, okay, I'm not going to get into university debt, I'm just going to go off and actually figure out how the world works, there's actually loads of opportunities. Okay.

I find it very strange that you think it would be easier to fix the entire global economic system than to start a business and fix your own personal economics. The thing that I know that gives people mental health issues is feeling that they have no agency in their life, that they can't do anything.

Your video where you talk about if you don't have a rich dad, you're screwed, there's no such thing as meritocracy, you're never going to be successful. To me, if I had have come across your content at 19, 20 years old, I would have been screwed. I'm so glad...

that I came across people who said, Daniel, you weren't born into a rich family, you don't have any bank of mum and dad, but it's cheap and easier than ever to start a business. Start by working for someone who's got a business, then figure out what's your opportunity. And there's a way. There is a way. I've actually worked with a lot of teenagers from poor backgrounds.

And one of the things we do is we tell them if it's possible for someone else, it is possible for you. I also worked in rural Uganda with a charity that did work with the poorest of the poor. One of the most incredible things I ever saw was a woman who started out

literally picking food out of a trash pile and she was basically, they shared with her how to start a chicken business which then ended up as a pig business which then ended up as a cattle business and she ended up making, hiring 15, 16 people in her local community.

I'm not saying everyone ends up as a millionaire and I'm not saying everyone ends up equal but I'm saying you can make improvements in your life and the thing that causes mental health issues is the feeling of having no agency or no control over your circumstances until the world changes the whole economic system.

You said if your dad wasn't rich, you'll never be rich.

You said if your dad wasn't rich, you'll never be rich.

That's actually not true in 99% of cases.

Meritocracy doesn't mean that everyone ends up with the same result. What I'm trying to... Here's what I'm trying to achieve.
