And it took me nine months to go from basically at $47 in my bank account. Nine months later, I was making six figures on autopilot. I just passed 3 billion minutes watching my YouTube.
Yeah. So Rockefeller made more money, a little bit more, but he had to work like an insane person. Whereas Carnegie used the mastermind brain trust idea. to surround himself with the best idea and quantum leap forward with only two hours a day of work. I always tell people, be Carnegie, not Rockefeller. You need to be around people that you can trust their advice.
I think my bio is like I'm an entrepreneur. I'm adventurous. Yeah, I've lived many lives. I lived with the Amish for two and a half years, lived on a farm. I graduated high school sleeping on a couch in a mobile home in Clayton, North Carolina. I was born in L.A. My dad was in prison, so I was born in Long Beach. He was on an island prison called Terminal Island.
So grew up part with a single mom and discovered internet marketing in 2001. I bought a course. Corey Rudall had a course for 300 bucks. And I was like, I learned back then there was only Google ads. And it took me nine months to go from basically, I had $47 in my bank account. Nine months later, I was making six figures on autopilot. And so I just never looked back.
The power of the internet to reach people now. Back then, there was maybe a couple hundred million daily actives on social media. Yeah. It wasn't really there. There's like Friendster, Myspace. Now there's 4.5 billion. So it's like my motto for my companies. I also buy and sell companies. I bought and sold some of the biggest companies in America.
And now like my mission for my personal brand is the same one I had 10 years ago, which was
spread good ideas you know so i've been in the education space i've got seven million followers i got i just passed three billion minutes watching my youtube three billion yeah three billion it was like a couple weeks ago i've been saying 2.8 billion then i looked and it was like i was at right at three billion that's so wild yes 200 it wouldn't have like 200 million three super bowls yeah i've been watched
yeah so that that's my story you know and i'm interested and i do lots of stuff and i live in beverly hills and then i have a farm in the us and then i live also in sweden so i like rotate brazil in the winter very cool i just had a brazilian baby there you go i know congrats on that that's awesome
I do Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
on zoom or in person in their own cities like let's just talk through the mastermind world first off like what was one of the first masterminds that you attended or spoke at man i went to a mastermind in like 07 or 08 it was funny i went with this guy who's definitely one of the best marketers in the world super secretive guy owns a lot of websites that are faceless and i remember going to one in new york city he's one of the first ones and he gave a talk and
The next day I was like, you know what? Everything you said at that talk was different than what you told me works for you privately. He's like, oh yeah, I like to go to masterminds and give all the wrong info so everybody copies my wrong landing pages, my funnels. So that was the first introduction.
Don't go to mastermind with this friend of mine because he's like, I throw all my, because he's like, if I give him my best stuff, everyone will copy. So that was my first intro. I launched my first mastermind probably in 2011. So I've been doing masterminds a long time. I think, Phil, like you came to some of them.
I used to do like masterminds at my house in the hills and they would also transition into kind of like a party. I like that vibe because one thing I've learned with masterminds is if they're too formal, you can't get some of the best dudes like Forbes list guys. They don't necessarily want to go to a super strict one, but if you have some fun to it, they'll show up for the fun.
So you can, some people, there are people that like that, like hardcore business. And there's another group that's ballers. You want to be around them. But so I had like these entertaining masterminds, kind of like what we're doing together, doing the same thing with the party the last day. Um,
so yeah it was it was a game changer because i cut my philosophy on masterminds basically is you read the book the gospel of wealth by carnegie so second richest man in modern history is andrew carnegie first is jd rockefeller worth about 600 billion in today's dollars um and carnegie was worth about 400 billion so close but what i liked about carnegie carnegie early age around 25 30 he made his first couple mil and he said i'll never work more than two hours a day
But what he said he did was create a brain trust of really smart people around him. And he said, no matter, we often did not agree, he says in the Gospel of Wealth, but out of that brain trust came some of the ideas that took him from, while working two hours a day, took him to $400 billion net worth. So if you could be Rockefeller, Rockefeller worked like a dog.
16 hours a day, at age 50, all his hair fell out. There's a famous quote, he said, all... of the money i've made 600 billion hasn't compensated me for the stress i went through so rockefeller made more money a little bit more but he had to work like an insane person whereas carnegie used the mastermind brain trust idea
to surround himself with the best idea and quantum leap forward with only two hours a day at work. I always tell people, be Carnegie, not Rockefeller. Be the second richest man in the world who only works two hours a day.
Yeah. There was a dude I remember down in San Diego. He used to have a 5K mastermind. You did not want to go to that mastermind. There was no screening. Right. So I remember I went one time. I used to live down in San Diego, and he had a 5K. It was one year. You got, whatever, four events for $5,000. Yeah. The quality of the group. No offense to people, but it depends what level you're on.
Maybe if you're a brand new beginner. Yeah. You're not making any money really. Maybe a 5K mastermind is all you can afford and it will still be. But if you're making any amount of money, you want to be in a gated one. You want to be in a gated one. You want to at least be paying $20,000 to $30,000.
