The Money Mondays
From Rock Bottom to $115 Million Dollar Exit: Eric Spofford's Journey to Entrepreneurial Success 💰 105

And I guess what I'm saying is that the people that have the greatest personal brands are the people that have mastered being able to be authentically them and totally okay with creating a division. If you're authentically you, at some level, you're going to be polarizing to people. There are going to be people that don't fuck with you at all and people that love with you.

My charity comes is my purpose, like my God-given mission here is to help people with addiction and alcoholism. That's very clear. And so everything I do in a charitable sense is around that. And so it's very frequently helping people get into treatment, finding resources for people that can't afford it, helping families, et cetera. That's my main area of focus.

I don't know if I've ever thought about it in the context of what percentage, right? I have thought about it in how is it managed. And so I have an estate plan that's set up for my kids that has taken the core issues that I think that my wealth could cause harm to them and tried to...

tried to deliver that and manage that from the grave after I'm gone the same way that I would here in real life while I'm still on planet Earth. And so some of those things are in my estate plan, my kids don't get a fucking dime. I mean, I will let them starve on the street if they can't pass a drug test. And so they're getting, I think it's like twice a year hair tests that go back six months.

Like if you're using drugs, you're on your fucking own, homie. They have to be full-time enrolled in school or employed full-time. And so there's no sitting around, you know, spending dad's money. Right. And they have to have, and that's at the discretion of, um, the person that'll be in charge of my estate. If they want to go out, pursue the entrepreneurial journey. Cool.

But you have to be doing it at a full time. You have to be productive. It can't be just a charade and smoke shirt. Like you have to be gainfully like doing something. Um, And even then, there were a lot of mechanisms where they never get access to all the money.

Like, one of the most underrated, I should say, one of the most underrated attributes of a human being that I have, to a painful extent, is hunger. And so I don't want to spoil them and give them everything. I don't do that now. I've never done that since they're children, and I'm not going to do it later in life from the grave.

I think it gets more attention because people can't make sense of it because they don't really understand addiction, right? If you come from a nice family and mom and dad are still together and there's lots of money and a nice home and fancy cars and all this stuff, people look at that and go, why would you ever do drugs?
