I love people watching too. Yeah, it's fun. You learn a lot from it. I be observing people. What are some of your big takeaways? Micro expressions, so like facial expressions. I could tell if they're confident, if they're maybe depressed even, just based off facial expressions and body language. This stuff's really important for me.
What happens when your father, your mother, your sister, your cousin is the person that's talking to the waiter in a poor manner you know do you reprimand them like do you say like yo you shouldn't be talking to this person this way you can't bring the what is it you can't feed the horse but you can bring the water to the horse to the water yeah yeah
All right, guys, from L.A., Dvij Vazwani here today. Thanks for coming on, man. Absolutely. I'm super excited to be here. We've been chatting for a while now. Yeah, I've known about who you were because we have mutual friends, but never had a chance to actually meet you. So I'm excited to sit down.
Yeah, first time meeting. That's a power podcast, man. For sure. People you talk to for years online, you finally get to sit down, chop it up. Yeah. 100%.
But yeah, I've heard about you for a while now, and you've really integrated yourself well in the space. Thank you. You've got a great reputation. Thank you. Is that something you were... People are saying good things. Yeah. I've never heard a bad thing. Makes me happy. Which is props to you, man. Thank you, bro. Because in LA, there's a lot of shit talk.
Yeah, man, reputation is everything. I think especially when you start doing business seriously, you realize this is a long-term game. We're not here for a week, for a month. We're here for a year. Not for a year, for longer than a year, for decades, for decades. And so I think for me, I'm playing the long game. I'm all about people.
I think as I've gotten deeper in my faith, I've realized, too, like... this is all we got. You know what I'm saying? Like you can't take the money with you. It's just a tool. And so for me, it's glory to God. And I'm just excited to sit down and have cool conversations. Yeah. It sounds like you value relationships more than money.
Absolutely. Absolutely. Money comes, man. It's like, I think when you treat people fairly and you bring value, like significant value, which is making other people money, connecting people, whatever it may be, I mean, the money will flow and it's like, you can't take it with you. You know what I'm saying?
Like, obviously it'd be great to have millions and millions and millions to pass along to the next generation, but you can't take it with you, man. Like I care about my people and that's it. Did you have this belief when you weren't as financially set to?
