What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
There's an outfit you keep reaching for, isn't there? The one that's soft enough to sleep in but yet together enough that you could answer the door with and somehow right for everything in between. Cozy Earth jogger sets are made from viscose, from bamboo. It's like a tapered fit, breathable, lightweight and soft so that it carries great throughout the day. And it gets better over time when you wear it actually. It's intentional. You can have it in morning coffee, afternoon errands, evening wind downs. It goes wherever your day goes. This isn't just for fashion or being fast around the house. It's something you'll keep reaching for from years from now. Trust me, it's what I do around the house.
How can you redefine your identity beyond your past?

All right, welcome back to the show, everybody. So I'd say probably seven or eight years I've wanted to have this man on the show. I did his show like a million years ago.
And I got to tell you guys something. I don't know if surprise is the right word, but... pleasantly happy, I guess. I liked him so much personally when I met him. Maybe a little bit different than his character in the movie. I really, really enjoyed his company. I consider him probably the best sales trainer there is going in the world today, number one. He does a whole bunch of other things too, but his style and the way he teaches sales is probably what I'm most aligned with. But I really enjoyed his company and I think you're going to enjoy his company today as well because we're going to have a little bit of a different conversation than you've probably seen him on other podcasts. So here's who he is.
He's the Wolf of Wall Street. That's how you really know him. But I know him as like a really good man and a great, great sales trainer. Super talented. Jordan Belfort, welcome to the show.
Thank you. That's very nice, Ed. And I feel the same about you, obviously. You were on my podcast a zillion years ago and it was one of my best, you know, performing podcasts. I don't do them. I'm so busy right now.
What does it mean to choose ethics over easy money?
I haven't really even done podcasts in a couple of years, but you were great. And so it's great to be back, you know?
Yeah, it's great to be with you, brother. So, you know, I want to... You've been on every podcast. So I want to have a little bit of a different conversation with you and do stuff that, like... It's hard for a guy at your stature and your level, for people when they listen to you, to relate to the story at all. It's one of the great stories of all time. But one of the theories I have about what holds people back is they get attached to a story about themselves. Something that happened when they were a kid, or their divorce, or a business setback. They get attached to a story, or who they believe they are, and then it almost just It reconfirms the story over and over again in their life. And in your case, that one window of your life is like the story, right?
And it's how everybody knows you. To some extent, I know it was a great thing because you got notoriety from it. But I have to think there's a part that's like, all right. I was young. I'm a different human being now. How did you break out of that? How did you change the narrative of this is who you are in your life? And I know you probably don't get asked that a lot, if ever. But I'm curious because I think people listening are attached to this story and they've got to change the narrative.
It's a good question. I mean, for starters, I would say that I personally, in my own mind, never had an issue with, like, breaking out of that.
