Super, super, super, super blessed, right? But dude, I've had tough times, right? And I'm sure a lot of people out there have had tough times, right? You know what else is funny? In my tough times, and don't get me wrong, if I was in a situation where I couldn't put food in my family's mouths, I would do whatever I had to do to do that, right?
But I've never been in a situation where I didn't have to worry about where my next meal is going to come from, right? But it would have been really, really, really tough
convenient for me to pick up the phone and call my billionaire friend and say hey man i need x amount you know can you help me right and honestly you know what they probably would they probably would but you know what i still wouldn't right i still i still and this this is me talking for me sure right one thing i never want you know one of my wealthy you know friends you know to think is that
He's around because he needs something, right? And I know if I really, really needed it, I could. But it opened my eyes, hearing that situation, right? It's like, they're people, right? Whether they be famous or, but they're still people, right? And they wanna be valued as a person, first and foremost, right?
And you know what, if I didn't mention, oh, hey, man, I'm going through a tough time, whatever, they'd be the first ones to be like, hey, Got you. What you need. You know what I mean? I got you. But for me, it's more important that we're buds. Right? We're buds. I got you. We can talk about anything. We hang. We have fun. You know? One thing I'm never going to be is your dependent. Right?
Never going to be. Maybe some other people around you might need that. But me, I work for mine. I figure it out. And they respect that. You know what I mean? They respect that. They respect that. And even for me and other people that I see around me, and I know certain things, I respect that. And if you stand for that, that's something that will carry you a long ways in that kind of circle.
Don't ever be in that circle as someone that looks at, okay, what can I get? They got it, so I can ask for it. Don't ever, ever, ever be that way, ever.
Wow. Wow.
Right.
Yep.
He wants life. And he wants experiences. And guess what? That's what you can bring to the table. A lot of times people don't realize, you know, you have to understand how different people fit into your life. Right? And what is of value to them. Experiences are what they're valued. Absolutely.
Absolutely. Absolutely. And I bet you that's made, that has enriched his life more than money ever could.
Listen, some of these folks, they don't even know what that is. It's just they automatically, whoever they're with, expects them to handle it. You know what I mean?
Like, wait, what? But that's the person I want to be, right? When it comes to being in those circles. And I think that's why... I've become, you know, I mean, I know we become family and stuff, but you, they look at you differently, you know? And, and, and, and here's the thing about it too, that is like, you know, for me, I love music.
Music is my business, but I, I, I'm a businessman, you know, I, I operate a number of companies. Right. And. But first and foremost, I'm a DJ. And I'm a DJ that has entered this world of music, right? And I've created other opportunities. But here's the thing about it. When I go in these circles, A lot of times people look at me and be, oh, that's the DJ, right?
That's the talent, that's the entertainment. And that's all they'll see, right? And I know, I have bigger aspirations in terms of what I want to talk about, right? And the opportunities I want to explore, right? How do you change that perception? How do you change that conversation? Right. And it is a it's a process. Right.
And one thing I'm most proud of is that, you know, a lot of these folks are talking about that, you know, gone on to be incredibly successful and multibillionaires. You know, I may have met them because I was hired to perform an event. But a year, two year, three years later. We're business partners.
right for sure we're business partners i've been given an opportunity to invest in a project that they're doing they may have gotten involved in something that i'm doing but i've over time been able to change that perception and change that conversation right and that is so important and that's that's for me but there's other people out there that are in different fields that maybe get into you know introduced into a situation
being viewed as one thing does not mean you have to stay in that position, right? Use your knowledge, your intellect, and, you know, put it out there, your aspirations. And, you know, people will be receptive to that. And next thing you know, you're in different rooms having different conversations than you ever even dreamt about.
You've got Tucker Madera all over the place.
