Right. eBay is who bought SneakerCon.
That's who came in. Yeah. All right. So along the path, when did sports cards, comic books, when did that become part of your life?
Yeah. I mean, I've bought a lot. I bought three dozen Bear Bricks off StockX and I've also bought a ton of cart, mostly boxes. Boxes, right.
Yeah.
So around 2020 I should decide, okay, I'm going to retire, take a break, maybe figure out what my next move is. And then boom, I see all over the news is the CEO of fanatics collectibles. Talk about that transition journey. Why jump back in the saddle? First the big saddle.
you know so it's the whole StockX is amazing it was a rocket ship Finanx Collectibles is crazier bigger by every metric you can imagine yeah okay so end of 2022 you're like okay I'm good I'm gonna take a break again why instead of jump back into a saddle and I don't know if there's any saddles left that are that big because you're talking about two of the household name brands in the industry decide I'm gonna do a startup and start making my own version the bigger better version of Bear Bricks yeah
Unlike StockX.
So on a personal level, why not go be the CEO of Funco or go buy Bearbricks?
So walk us through ghost right now. What, like, how do people buy into it? What do they do with it? What's the plan?
There's a famous book called Steel Like an Artist. And the concept of what Josh is talking about is you don't have to necessarily reinvent the wheel. You can make it faster, more efficient, and take all the things that you learn to make a bigger, better mousetrap. You don't have to. And in my career, that's what I've done. There was 900 energy drinks when I started Who's Your Daddy?
I just wanted to make the first zero sugar, zero carbs, zero calorie one. All the other cans were black and silver. I made bright yellow, bright red. They were $2.99. I was $1.99. Remember McDonald's and McDowell's? I was about to say the same thing.
And coming to America. And so we went out in one flavor of the year. That was my shtick versus 900 drinks. There was hoverboards.
was two companies 1800 bucks 1500 bucks and i was like that's crazy what if you've got two kids like you do that would be like three or four thousand dollars to buy two toys yeah right i don't care how rich you are that's a lot of money like it's and so i made mine for less than half the price they didn't have speakers i put speakers in them they didn't have lights i put in color different lights you could change the colors and they took four to eight weeks for shipping i did same day shipping
so i just fixed the thing i didn't create hoverboards mine went off to do millions of dollars in sales right away because i was just faster better more efficient yep online poker 550 poker sites i go get dan balzerian steve aoki bunch of playboy playmates and trevor was traveling around the world with us 2008 9 10 11. and we made a poker site there was 550 sites i just made us the cooler site and so throughout my career i've just gone by this exact same methodology and in theory it was just like
I'm just taking what someone else is doing and make it better, more efficient, faster, et cetera. Okay, as we go into the final part, we talk about how to make money, talk about investment, talk about giving it away. Why do you think that people or brands should have a charity component to their lives?
For sure. So there's a question that I ask almost every time and I've never gotten the same answer. This is also a personal question.
hundred years from now with modern technology let's say 150 years from now when it's finally time for josh liber to pass away and those two kids maybe have more kids but let's say there's those two kids and you acquire or accumulate a billion dollars two billion dollars who knows what could happen over the course of time it's a lot of toys it's a lot of toys what percentage goes to those kids oh that is an interesting question um
Definitely not the same answer we've heard. It's so across the board from zero to 100. Yeah. And the reasoning behind it is always very different. And also the trigger points of like, oh, if they do X, Y, Z, they can get it unlocked. Or if they have a fund, they can do this and this. Or we can have it managed and then they can get it. Oh, if they get married, they can have this.
Or if they go to college, they can do this. Yeah.
the flip side is is you know obviously the way the will set up right now if like god forbid something happened to both patricia and i didn't get all of it yeah exactly all right last question as we go into 2025 this last this summer especially actually just this week it feels like sports has taken over the world it's the best time of year
