I'll start with this hey, how good are dogs. You're my dog here today.
Speaker 2:We've got a special guest.
Speaker 1:Special guest.
Speaker 2:Can you jump on the table? There we go you can see on camera now Good girl Shuns In the shot. Iggy that's it. What's going on? Good man Yourself. Why do you say good when I say what's going on, it is. Why do you say good when I say what's going on, it is, everything's good? Oh, that's a good way of looking at it. I always think you're thinking. I'm asking how you are.
Speaker 1:No, no, just everything's good. How are you, bud? Do you know? Something I always do, always do when someone calls me up and says hi, how are you?
Speaker 2:I always answer the phone, or I always answer them X, but I try and change it up. They're phenomenal, if I change it up.
Speaker 1:I'll try not to. I think I'll. It won't be a habit. That's the whole purpose.
Speaker 2:Why? Because then you have to think about it. I don't think I've just got shit to do.
Speaker 1:It's like equivalent, but it programs my brain already that I am excellent doesn't nothing changes.
Speaker 2:yeah, it's better than saying excellent, better than saying not too bad. Not too bad everyone says that. By the way, I realize how many people say it when you take notice. When you wake up yep, when you wake the fuck up, um, what's been going on? Good, uh, so much, so much much. I feel like I haven't seen you in a while.
Speaker 1:I know, and what was it like last week? Yeah, like Friday.
Speaker 2:So this is going to air really soon. Like this conversation is happening a week before it airs, yeah, so it'll be very quick.
Speaker 1:So normally we've got a few banked up, but we've been so busy that we haven't been able to sit in front of a mic for a little while. How do you handle it? A lot of the time I call you and it goes straight to voicemail no, no. Or you hang up on me Like, hey, I'm busy, those messages and I laugh every time.
Speaker 2:I'm on the phone. I almost want to call you back straight away. I'm usually on the phone.
Speaker 1:I almost want to always call me flat stick, all right, and he should always be sorry. I'm on the phone, call you back later and he's like, fuck, he goes. What are you doing? He goes. You're always barring my call. And then it wasn't until years later when he would call me again and I'd still bar him. See, it wasn't just then that I was barring you.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he used to take it personally you thought you're that okay, mate, I got shit like this is how you treat all your clients nothing. I treat everyone, everyone across the board yeah, across the board.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so it's good. Lots is hot, lots and lots is happening. But I I love people in my team. Do you know what I mean? I see the need. The busier I am the. All I'm thinking is who's the next hire, who's the next hire? You know what I mean. I see the need. The busier I am the. All I'm thinking is who's the next hire, who's the next hire?
Speaker 3:you know what?
Speaker 1:I mean, I'm thinking about that a lot lately, heaps, because I went from having, say, a pa part-time to then going up, fuck it, I need a pa full-time. Then I've had a pa full-time. I'm like, okay, shit, who's the next person I need to get in? So I've been thinking about about that a fair bit lately and what that looks like in the business and in my life. So who's your next hire? My next hire post the PA. So it will be probably a GM. I reckon that's the most significant one. That'll be a big step for me.
Speaker 1:And something else I've realized which I've always known anyway, but I'm glad I acted on it because I said I would in the past about hiring people taking a bit of time when you hire the right person, but if they're not the right person, I'd get rid of them ASAP, don't just go. Oh, maybe they'll come good, maybe if I give them a bit more time. No, if they're shit, they're shit. And I recently came across that where I had an employee employed them within four weeks and then I called you up one day. It was funny and I go hey, that person You're like yep, I fired him. You thought I was joking for about 15 minutes. Come on, man.
Speaker 2:What's going on?
Speaker 1:What's going on? Are you serious? I got rid of them and they go. But duds, you know they their their expectation. My expectation wasn't there. I wasn't willing to compromise the role for that person in their role to feel more comfortable and I try, like to the to the degree of, if there were things that weren't going to compromise their service to the company and to me, would have done it. No worries, you know what I mean. Like if they wanted a heater under the desk. You know what I mean. Like if they wanted a heater under the desk. I mean stuff like that. No worries, I'll compromise, I'll do whatever we need to do. You want to get some nice flowers in here? Great, we'll do that that's your compromise.
Speaker 2:I'll give you a heater I'll give you a heater for your legs. That's it. That's it nothing else.
Speaker 1:But you know what I mean. I'm saying I would do things to make the, to make it more comfortable for them, not just physically but environmentally and whatever they need in their role to be better performed. Maybe they wanted more training, no worries, let's get that. I would do those things. But when you start, say, for example, we've had this conversation.
Speaker 1:I don't like the whole working from home thing. I actually put it in the ad. This isn't a work from home role. Are you okay to be commuting and come into the office every single day? And the people that ticked, yes, great, we go to the next interview.
Speaker 1:The people that didn't know straight off, like they were completely disqualified, and they came to me later going oh, I want an opportunity, I want to be able to have more flexible workouts. I said, hang on, hang on, hang on, your role is personal assistant. Okay, I want you at my beck and call whenever I need something done. Not going oh shit, it's Tuesday, they're not working today, and I said that in the interview and I said it in the questionnaire before you apply. So you're fully aware of what I wanted. And now the goal posts are changing. I'm like, nah, not on, and I wasn't willing to compromise on that plus other things and got rid of them just like that, and I'm glad I did, and I'll do it again, and I'll do it again, and I'll do it again until I find the right person. So I think to date I've been relatively lucky with employees. I've had a pretty good run, I've had good heads in and around the company and I find that when you get the right ones, they stick. I'll be here for a while.
Speaker 2:What determines the right one.
Speaker 1:I think attitude is massive. I can teach skills, I can't teach attitude and someone that's going to fit within the culture too. So I've done quite a few interviews lately and I've just walked in here. I'm actually sick of talking to people and interviewing, but you've got to go through that process. It's the worst. Yeah, like I thought I would enjoy it more than I am.
Speaker 2:You've got to go through that process. It's the worst. Yeah, like I thought I would enjoy it more than I am. I think it is one of the key fundamentals that most people suck at. Yeah, you need to be good at, I'm following a script too, are you?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I wrote one down and you would know about it. We've done it in an NLP training, metaprogramming A little bit not all of them, but some of them. You find it works. Some of the questions yes, not all of them just in as far as listening to their language, like we're just talking about before excellent, all that sort of stuff. Listening to their language and how they respond to certain questions gives me a bit more of a idea what they're going to be like. But what I've found is most people are actually duds when it comes to but even to the the interview. Like sell yourself, man. Yeah, like give, you're there to sell yourself to me. This is a sale. And they can't. When talking about sales, it's fucked at the moment. Like people can't do it and it's hard. That is a sale.
Speaker 1:When you were going for a job interview, you were selling yourself. Like pump that shit up. Every single person I've interviewed, I felt like I was trying to pump them up to get excited about coming to work here. There was one person that I interviewed today and she may not be the best skilled out of all the ones that I've interviewed, but so far she's a front runner because I'm like you, were keen to actually work. You were excited to work. You had done your research on me and the company before you even got onto the interview. Do you know? That is what I found fascinating. So many people are like, so tell me a little bit about why you applied for the role at the company. What excites you about working here?
Speaker 1:Oh that's a shit question, yeah, but I want to just see. It's not about the question. I want to see have you fucking done any research on PASCOM? Have you gone onto Instagram and look at me? Have you done anything to show any any level of interest? It's not the question. I don't give a shit about whether you have studied what projects I've finished.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's it, of course you have.
Speaker 1:I just want to know have you done any level of due diligence before you stepped into that, before you stepped onto this Zoom call? And 90% of them have not. Some of them have. Yeah, I love that project in Brighton that you're doing. That's awesome. I see that you're. That's all I want to know with that question. I don't care about anything else. But also I want to know why they're applying for the role. That was me, don't worry, wasn't Iggy? A little mic noise and Robbie straightaway looks at Iggy and is like what are you?
Speaker 2:doing. Yeah, yeah, I don't use the. I know the questions you're talking about, like the metaprogramming questions. I don't use them because I don't know anyone that's used them successfully okay, there was only out of all of them, there's three.
Speaker 1:I don't go one to. Yeah, 15 or whatever it was. Yeah, there's three questions out of it that I would ask, and one of them was if we do, if we're to do a project together, are you a details person or a big picture person? Yeah, so it's like yeah, correct, so I just want to know which one they are. I would like someone that comes into this role to be a details person, because I'm big picture. I know this is what I want to do. I want you, I want to know the person I give the role to or the task to, is going to have all the details checked, done and I don't need to worry about it. So that one I look at Can't remember what the other one was. But yeah, nothing too. I don't go in depth with it. I'm sure there is a skill to it too.
Speaker 2:Oh, dude, I think it's a huge skill. I think it is something you need to and we've touched on this previously but I think it's one of those things that you need to and we've touched on this previously, but I think it's one of those things that you need to constantly be building on, yeah, like even when you're not to have a pipeline yeah, without a doubt, because you're gonna do it all the time.
Speaker 2:Be like, hey, like this person is a good contact, like I'm a higher than one day, and keep contact. Yeah, for that reason, yeah, generate and maintain those relationships so that when the opportunity comes around you, the new role pops up, whatever it might be. You're like cool, I know a few people I can call for this. Yeah. Or you like you might say, do you know anyone? I need a pa, do you know anyone? Yeah, I'd be like, hey, I actually know someone. Yeah, so and so, but you know, what I mean yeah, that goes yeah, dude, two things.
Speaker 2:One, you connect two good people together. Yeah, like you, two people that you care about. You just help them both out. You know what I mean. So and so needed the job, so and so needed the role field. Boom, happy days, right, and I think that's one thing we fail to do like we don't. We don't when, when the problem's gone, we don't focus on that anymore. We don't, we don't when, when the problem's gone, we don't focus on that anymore, we don't think about you know, yeah.
Speaker 2:It'd be like not thinking about food until you're hungry. Until I'm hungry, yeah. And then you're like, fuck, I'm hungry, I'm going to eat. And then you eat anything, yeah, yeah. And then you literally eat anything, just like you hire anyone, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:And then you literally eat anything, just like you hire anyone and then you're like and that's what I didn't want to do this time around, because I need someone. I need someone, I've got an event next weekend and I need someone to help me out with it. I've got backup. It's fine. But in this perspective of but I made it a very clear point to myself I'm not going to just hire anyone. I want to hire the right person, and did of the person I let go, don't regret it.
Speaker 1:They started off well and they were, at the time, the right hire and they were the right person for their role. I don't know their expectation changed. Mine wasn't willing to change and just came to a crossroad. That was a simple decision for me in the end. But I also look at it from the perspective of. I reckon if I was to go for any job in my field guaranteed, guaranteed I would get it as in. If I was going to apply for a job now at X and such building company Don't worry, done, just get the contract ready on the day. I've got that much confidence in myself to be able to sell myself to them and say this is the best hire, I am the best hire for you. Just get rid of all your other applications. Let's do it.
Speaker 2:Okay. So what should someone who's listening to this now into? I'm still applying for a job. Yeah, what should that person?
Speaker 1:yes, if you actually genuinely want the job, you found a company. How do you know if you want the job? How do you know?
Speaker 2:yeah, before you've interviewed, because you know my thing. Then also, I used to always say I'm interviewing here. What do you mean?
Speaker 1:when I would go in for an interview, I would say like I'm, I want to see if I want to work there yeah, of course, there's some good questions you I would be asking so tell me, what are the career paths, opportunities for me in this role? If someone said that to me, that straight away shows me okay, great future growth. They've got that in mind. They're a high performer. They want to see that there is progression in this career that they're pursuing in this company. I would personally like that, and a lot of people don't say stuff like that. But let's go back one step to prepare. Say you like the company, you like the role. Everything looks good on paper. First thing you want to do is definitely do a bit of research on the company, on the directors, whatever you can. Now, it's so easy. It's so easy. These days.
Speaker 1:Most people have some form of social media presence from a professional background. Could be just LinkedIn, could be social media, instagram, facebook, the works. Furthermore to that, you can look at the company. 90% of companies these days are doing some form of social media, not just their website. People used to just go to the website back in the day, but now there's so many more things that you can actually look at and study. People used to just go to the website back in the day, but now there's so many more things that you can actually look at and study. Then from there, I would prepare. I would prepare as far as okay.
Speaker 1:Well, what do I want out of this? What questions could I ask this potential employer about things that are important to me? Then how can I impress them? How can I put my best foot forward? How can I show cool? This is what I'm about, this is what we do. This is how I can fulfill.
Speaker 1:I reckon there was one time when I went for a job at a company and I know what got me the job. I sat there and this is before. I was really that experienced in that space. I actually said to the two directors interviewing me I said listen, I go. I feel that the experience that I've had through commercial tier one construction experience I can bring a lot of that experience to you and to the company, give you a whole bunch of systems, policies, procedures that I can implement or that I can just show, if you want and help bring some significant improvement in my time that I'm working with you, someone's showing that they're willing to come in and do the work, do extra want to be a part of the journey. It's like a no-brainer. It's a no-brainer. That's what. I've been a little bit disappointed in, that people just didn't have that real hunger for the job. It's like, oh yeah, I want this job, but if I get a grade, if not, then that's cool too. What would you do, or what?
Speaker 2:would you like to see from an applicant as the person hiring or being hired? No, the person hiring as a person hiring, I'm hiring at the moment. Yeah, same position, first round of interviews. Like you, just I follow a. So I spoke about this book once called Top Grading. I actually follow a method from.
Speaker 1:There.
Speaker 2:I actually follow a method from there where they're big on past history and I always ask the question of okay, what was your last job? Why'd you leave? How long were you there? For what did you like the least about it? And then I say, if I called and this is directly from the book, okay, to your best guess if I called your boss, yeah, if I called him now, what would he say about you? What would he say your biggest weakness is yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:And then I care too much and then, yeah, I work too hard I don't know, you pay me every time, um, and then and then. My follow-up to that is okay, we're big on on doing our homework on things. Would you be happy to organize, arrange an interview with them? Do you know what I mean? So are you happy to arrange for me to speak with him and they either freak or they say yes, it's apparently one of the biggest things that supposedly Would you have you gone down that path and asked those questions? Yeah.
Speaker 1:And would you follow through and have a chat with their past employer?
Speaker 2:I haven't hired anyone yet, that I haven't done that. I think it's probably worth it. Yeah, because if they're a really good person, like let's just say, for example, you have, I'm sure you'd have some previous people that you've worked with where you're like, hey man, this guy was a great guy. I wish him nothing but the best. And for what he wanted now, the next step for him wasn't here.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean, I look at my personal career path in that space. I always left. Actually, once I got made redundant, but the other two times I left. But I think each of those, every single person I've ever worked with or for, they, would give me a glowing review. No sweat, no sweat.
Speaker 2:I think a big red flag as well is when they sit there dissing their old workplace.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, look, look I've got. I'm thinking back to most of my employees that worked for me in the past that have left most of them. I would happily give a review as and that's the thing I look at it from a perspective like you're a temporary custodian of your role in this company. You said it the other day eventually you're going to leave. You might die, die, you might be 90 years old, but you're going to not work here one day?
Speaker 1:Yeah, you're not going to be here. You're not going to be here one day. So everyone's a temporary custodian in that role in the business at some stage of their life. And I look at it that way. I don't care if you're with me for five years, one year, 10 years, whatever it is, it doesn't bother me, as long as when you're here, you're here, you're committed, you're pushing in the right direction. You enjoy the process, you enjoy the journey, do the hard yards and have a little fun and success. What is success? Doing sick shit?
Speaker 2:Here's a question. I was thinking about this. I was have this conversation with somebody the other day If money became no longer a thing, for whatever reason, okay, you won the lottery, you crushed it. Whatever it is, you know, universal basic income came into play. Whatever it is, money became no longer a thing. What are the things that you do now that you would no longer do Like? Would you still do everything exactly the same? Is there certain parts of what you do From a business standpoint because it's a main reason, like most people are in business for money? From a business standpoint, what would change?
Speaker 1:What's the payoff? What do you mean? Well, I mean, if I'm going to be putting in all this level of effort, for what purpose? Well, let's just say, for example, because I'm building houses. Do you know what I mean? No, no, I don't know. You might. That's what I mean. I'm looking at it from the perspective of what's the-. Let's say you won the lottery.
Speaker 2:You won $80 million yeah.
Speaker 1:The only difference, I think for myself-.
Speaker 1:How much for the lottery, don't know, don't know, don't buy tickets. Really, yeah, I'd. It's a bit funny. The only thing I would do differently here at the construction business is I probably wouldn't do many client projects. I just do my own shit. But you still build, yeah, I think so. I think so. Or I'd even employ builders to do it for me. That's probably another avenue that I would actually probably look at more so because then there's less liability. Less liability because we as builders have to warrant the thing post-completion. So I'd probably even employ builders. I'd probably become more of a developer type person. Maybe build my own. Whatever I want, I'll do. Do you know what I mean From that perspective? Whereas now why would you develop? Why would I? Yeah, to keep active, first of all in the sense, mentally. Mentally, yeah, not just to be sitting there going. Okay, which you know. What car am I going to drive today? Because it would get to that point where you're like I would just I would podcast every day.
Speaker 2:I'd be pretty confident. I would literally just you know, like Joe Rogan, you know what I mean. He drops like three episodes a week. Yeah, like he would podcast a lot. Yeah, do you know what I mean? Like he would have to, at least, and his podcast dropped real quick. Yeah, he podcasts and it's out two days later. Yeah, per episode, or whatever. And I feel like I would just do that Cool, full time.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I reckon it'd be pretty fun to do that too. Yeah, I think I would still, because what? Okay, you podcast two hours a day. Yeah, do you know what I?
Speaker 2:mean yeah. The other thing I would do is I'd get into private equity.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and I would go and I would play the business game at the highest level, you know, and I would absorb companies and absorb equity in companies and just play that game yeah.
Speaker 1:I think I would play a different business game too. Actually, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2:Like play at that level. Yeah, I feel like that would be more fun.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you would try Exactly right, because I mean what I do is stressful, it's a lot of pressure, it's a lot of pressure.
Speaker 2:There's always stress. Yeah, I know, it's not like if you're playing a $100 million game. The stress doesn't just go away.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, that's right, but I'm just thinking there's easier ways to do it, there's easier levels of stress. Yeah, yeah, that's all I look at it from from that perspective. With what I'm doing now, I'd probably continue doing a lot more of the event stuff too, just for the little while. Like I wondered that the other day I was like would I get sick of this doing? Being on stage, I actually really enjoyed doing the actual event on the day. The lead up to it is a bit of a bit of a pain in the ass with don't have anyone to manage it. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, that's right. So would that make it better if it was the other way around?
Speaker 1:yeah, it could be could be if you were no longer managing it yeah, but also from the perspective of even like doing all the leading stuff, the marketing, all the campaigns can be a bit of a pain, but I think that's just because I've haven't had anyone to help lately, over the last sort of three months, but once again we get the right people in. That will change again as well.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's a good question. I don't know if I would. I don't know if I would.
Speaker 1:If you would what, I'll continue on the stage. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't think I would. Yeah, do you know what I want to do? I just want to crack that million dollars in a day. Yeah, I didn't say that to you. Yeah, even though you're worth 150, it's like no, no, no, just do it. Maybe it'll give you more credibility. Then Do a lead in. I'll get Iggy to do a sick video of us rocking up off the super yacht onto the car catch the chopper into the building.
Speaker 2:I don't think I would. That's true. I think this would be the only thing that I'm doing right now, that I would continue to do this and creating content.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I do enjoy creating content.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't think I do much, a lot of that.
Speaker 1:the funny thing is like again comes back. You can do that now. What you can do podcasting every two days. You can create content every single day.
Speaker 2:Yeah do almost. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, that's right. It's more so about just what would you continue to do. What behaviors would change if circumstances changed? Yeah, do you know what I mean? What do you do now that you know what I'm going to do? What are you doing? Only for certain things that-.
Speaker 1:I think I would still. I probably wouldn't be here as often as in the office, yeah, where you'd work from home. No, I'd just work from home. This guy, just out of spite, I wouldn't work from home.
Speaker 2:We get rid of my oh yeah, I feel like.
Speaker 1:No, I'd probably take more. There'd be more days off, like there'd be days where I just wouldn't bother coming to the office before they were quick. Even less, even less, even less. You know what I mean, but I'd have people doing stuff for me. Yeah, I would probably have definitely someone following me around to the extent no, yeah, maybe, no, yeah, maybe. But even just Media? No, no, not even that. Like, I'm talking real, proper PA. Oh, like, read my emails too. Yeah, like, yeah, exactly Like, okay, anything, just anything I need, just get it done, get it done. I would look at ways to make my life really efficient. It'd be fun. Yeah, I think the role you're looking for is not a pa. I think it's an ea. Yeah, that's right, but I've got to test the waters first and see which way I'm going to build up to it. Do you know what I mean with the ea pa? What's what do you mean? Well, I don't exactly know. I've never had one before. So for me, yeah, yeah, both isn't isn't the difference. It's a difference, exactly difference, exactly Huh.
Speaker 2:What's the difference? I was going to explain it One second. Oh shit, shut up, I'm a guy. Isn't the difference between the two? And I could be wrong, but isn't the difference that one is professional and one is like you're my executive assistant In my professional role, you manage all that and that's it, yeah.
Speaker 1:Whereas a pa is like go get my dry cleaning. Oh, so I want a combination of both. Yeah, okay, do you know what I mean? I would want a combination. Whether I necessarily need the dry cleaning done, it's not necessarily that, but okay. For example, I'm going to the football next weekend, to the final game of the round in launceston. I'd be like here, this is what I'm gonna do, yeah, first time ever been.
Speaker 1:Yeah, uh, and it'd be good going with my son to watch the footy and I want to do yeah, first time ever been, yeah, and it'll be good going with my sons watch the footy and I want to go to them. Yeah, that's, they're the dates sorted out. I book it all flights, accommodation, go, that's. I think that's more personal than business. That's way more personal. Yeah, so I want someone to have. There'll be a, there'll be a combination of both. That's why I've said the pa type role, whereas ea you, you're right, it's probably more nah, this is just business related. You're not going to get the coffee, you're not going to get my dry cleaning, you're not going to book my flights on the weekend. You're here for business purposes, and then your EA would probably have a PA.
Speaker 3:You reckon.
Speaker 1:Eventually, If you get now. Now we're talking. I know people that have done that.
Speaker 2:The EA has a.
Speaker 1:PA yeah.
Speaker 2:I've heard of that too. That's insane.
Speaker 1:I've never heard of that. You sent me a post the other day. The new CEO of Starbucks 113 mil. Was it Signing bonus or something like that? That's an exorbitant amount of money't it put a post? Actually, I put a post up on that. I was curious to see what people thought about it. Let me see if I can find it, uh, but I'll put it up because I know I've thought most people and we're going to see on this uh post shortly on this poll that I would have done would say that's ridiculous that is ridiculous, is it?
Speaker 2:you don't think so? Why? It's just a large sum of money for us or relative?
Speaker 1:or relative, isn't it? But why so? Why doesn't he deserve it? I didn't say he doesn't deserve so why is it ridiculous?
Speaker 2:how much money is starbucks making? Huh? A billion dollar company? Dude, they're not. They'd be making way more than that. Yeah, to offer a signing bonus for 100 mil. They're not going to pay him 1% of their profit. They're going to pay way less than that. And just for the record, if they pay him 1%, that means they're profiting $10 billion.
Speaker 1:Okay, the polls 45% said yes. Well deserved 55%. No know, that's stupid.
Speaker 2:It's almost there. It's almost split down the guts.
Speaker 1:Dude, that's a sign-in bonus of $113 million, one of the largest in history. I mean, what's he bring to the role? It's a big sum of money, yeah. But if they're looking at it from the perspective of this guy's going to make us $3 billion or $10 billion and I'm paying him $113 million, maybe he came in and said look, give me the afternoon, I'll show you how we can turn this from $1 billion to $10 billion. But I want a $113 million signing bonus and they go. Yeah, okay, if you do that, no worries, he goes bang and he does it and he delivers. So why isn't he worth it? Something's happened. When value exceeds price, they will make decisions. So Mr Starbuck would have looked at that and said you've done something enough for me to go give you this much money, or they're laundering money, I don't know. Something's going on. They're trying to avoid tax evasion.
Speaker 2:There's tax evasion going on, something there, I think the conversation about it being ridiculous doesn't necessarily equate to he doesn't deserve it. Yeah, do you know what I mean? Yeah, because you can look at the UFC. They bought it for $2 million. They sold it for $4 billion. That's ridiculous, sick. Do you know what I?
Speaker 1:mean, yeah, dude, all right, dana white, let's get him on the show oh my god, I'm a fan yeah, I.
Speaker 2:I reckon he's one of, like you know what I'm a fan of? I'm a fan of people who have come from nothing.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the underdog.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like you know what I mean, because there's no excuse, there's no oh, but this, oh, but that, oh, but they got, like you can't say any. That's why I like Hormozy so much, because he just reminds me that I'm not like, yeah, I'm shit. You know what I mean. Like anytime I start to get ahead of myself, like sit down, bro. Yeah, like, what are you doing? Yeah, you know what I mean. Like this guy's a couple of years older than you and he is, he will put you into the ground, like with his knowledge, with his everything, and I. But I like that. I you know what I mean. Like I respect him for that, because he didn't come from.
Speaker 1:Yeah, from money yeah.
Speaker 2:He came like he. You know what I mean? He was just he. He almost self-made, self-taught, Um, and Dana White is that? Dana White, is that dude, dude? Dana White came from nothing yeah yeah, and Dana White people don't know this Dana White talking about him like I know him. When he, when they first brought him to the UFC, do you know what percentage he got of the UFC?
Speaker 1:no, 10% of 2 mil he got 10 got of the UFC no 10% Of 2 mil.
Speaker 2:He got 10% of the whole company.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:When he first bought in with the people. He bought in with, yeah, his idea, everything, and he got 10%. And if you talk to most people today and you say, hey, like most people would never take that deal, they'd be like 10% and these other guys are going to get everything.
Speaker 1:He didn't have the money. Huh, he wouldn't have had the money. He didn't have the money. So he goes cool, I'm going to bring you a deal. All right, it's a good deal, but I want you to put 10% in and he had to stay and run it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, and obviously he got paid a salary and everything else, okay. But dude, he sold out. He got 400 mil. $400 million. Yeah, I would never think he's a massive gambler by the way he talks about it openly. How's he how funny? Yeah, he lives in Vegas.
Speaker 1:Best place to live is for a gambler $400 million.
Speaker 2:He would never think about money. Yeah, like he would never think about money. Yeah, like he would never sit there like bills. How much does your mind change when that happens? Yeah, like like never. The car yeah, all right, make sure it's got every option. Like no, I don't care what it is, don't even care if I don't like it. Yeah, put it on there. Put option. No, I don't care what it is, don't even care if I don't like it, yeah, put it on there. Put it on there, then I'll take it off later.
Speaker 1:I mean like life would be different. It would, and what I liked about that post that you put up the other day or that you sent me, is it is a reminder that, like that level of wealth is out there. People are like oh, how do I get 100 grand this year? How do I get to triple figures? How do I get 150? How do I get a 10K?
Speaker 2:pay rise. It's also the next goalposts. Yeah, yeah, that's what it is. There would be a time in your life where you thought about making as much money as you make now, without a doubt. Do you know what?
Speaker 1:I mean, yeah, I used to think I remember thinking in uni fuck, you know, when I graduate I could make $100,000. What the fuck? That's a bit of a bin. So let me load it. Go buy a HSV Like I'll be set for life. You know what I?
Speaker 2:mean.
Speaker 1:That was the dream. That was the dream make 100k, buy a hsv, get a vt, hsv and I would have been set for life.
Speaker 2:That's it. It's all I needed. So how do you stop a bit? Okay? When's it up and up? When is it like you? You said I sent you that, yeah, and your response to me was not enough and I said dangerous words yeah, yeah, I know what you're.
Speaker 1:I know what you're saying. It's was it you it's saying this to me, or was it someone else? For sure it was a good. It's about the. It's like what's the difference between the man that has are you a hundred million? And then the guy that doesn't? It was you, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we did have that conversation.
Speaker 1:I didn't say it from the perspective of it's never enough. It's not like if I had 700 million or 500 million that I have to have a billion. Do you know what I mean? It's more just. I don't want to become complacent, that's all. Oh, 100%. That's all I mean by when's it not? It's never, no, no, no. I just don't ever want that complacency to go.
Speaker 1:What Now? I'm just going to live out my life. If I genuinely get fulfillment from that different story, like if I get fulfillment from you know what, I'm just going to go float on the yacht for the next six years. I'm not going to shave, I'm just going to bathe in the ocean. That'd be sick. I'm chafing ages, but you know what I mean. That's how I would look at it and go. If that gives me fulfillment, no worries, I'll do that. But if it doesn't, then what's the next thing? I don't want to. I don't want that sitting there being bored. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, I've got a big deal on, well, what's now? So that's why I would always want to challenge myself to go Okay, cool, I've got five. Well, that's what's a billion look like. Maybe I will go to a billion because at least it pushes me. And if I get to a billion, it's not having the billion dollars, because there's not much you can do with a billion that you can't do with 500,000. What's the same? Yeah.
Speaker 2:I think it was actually your mate, my mate.
Speaker 1:Yeah, andrew Tate, was it? I'm pretty sure he said that. Yeah, anything like. Once you get to that $20 million mark, there's almost everything. You can pretty much do anything. Yeah, you may not buy a jet or a super iron. Yeah, exactly, you go get one for the weekend. So that's right. So that's all it was for me when you asked me that question. When's enough enough? I just don't think I'd want it to be. I'd want to have something to keep going. And then also, you know, I've got kids as well, so I don't want them to see me and I don't want them to be just like, hey, we've got the easy life now.
Speaker 1:I think it might have been Dana White saying this as well. No, it was Joe Rogan. Joe Rogan said this. He was saying that one of the fucked up things that I've noticed with all the people he's interviewed over the years the highly successful ones, the ones that have achieved amazing things, just extraordinary shit have all come from really difficult backgrounds. Upbringing, adversity, adversity yeah, that's what I mean, and that's why there's so often you see kids with silver spoons or people that have just had everything given to them. It doesn't serve them in the best way possible. You know what, though?
Speaker 2:I also think that that is a mindset that we're fed.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's a generalization, it's a massive generalization.
Speaker 2:I reckon there is way more success that comes from success than bad people that come from success.
Speaker 1:I don't say bad. However, I think it's really, really driven by the people that have the money in the first place. Right, right, so if you deter you away, no, no, no, safe, safe for your generation, for your kids, okay, okay you. Tomorrow, business takes off and you're worth 800 million dollars. Okay, your children. How you determine now the actions that you're going to take with your children, they're just going to be like oh cool, have this turns 18. Here's a ferrari, here's a house in the moldives. Like here's everything. You determine now the actions that you're going to take with your children.
Speaker 2:They're just going to be like oh cool, have this Turns 18.
Speaker 1:Here's a Ferrari. Here's a house in the Maldives. Here's everything. Here's everything. Here's everything. You're going to spoil that kid, but you drive that person. To have that level of success, you need to be the driver of that, because if you take the easy road that's going to really spoil that.
Speaker 2:Yes, I agree, I think that's-.
Speaker 1:But that's what I mean. I think that's where it comes from. A lot of people have that it's become pretty well it's like you said, they want to give it you want to give your kids everything you never had, and it's not really the right life lessons to give them.
Speaker 2:Yeah, good intention bad move yeah.
Speaker 1:But do you think more people do that than not? I don't know. Yes, okay, if I had to guess, I'd say it's the other way around. I'd say more people wouldn't. Yeah, 100% the reason I say no. No, I think I'm disagreeing with you.
Speaker 2:What.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think it would, because it's human nature. It's human nature to take the path of least resistance. So I think some people yes, not intentionally wanting to damage their children, but would give them everything easy because they've got the money you reckon more would.
Speaker 2:I don't know the answer. Yeah, I know, but that's what you reckon, I'm assuming.
Speaker 1:Yes, that's interesting. Yeah, I would think, just because it's easier and they think they're doing the right thing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't think they don't know. Yeah, I don't. I don't think they don't know, they don't think. So I don't think many people think they're doing the right thing anymore, like I would. It's oh yeah, you're pulling the cables. Um, I think it's very common, very common knowledge. Now, yeah, you know what I mean. Like, how do we know it? How do we know what? Like, how do we know it? How do we know what that? Like? How do we know? Everyone knows that? Like I don't give you kids everything. It spoils them.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but it's probably easy. No, we're saying that from a place of not having hundreds of millions of dollars in the bank as well.
Speaker 2:Yeah, oh, you think it's easier to say it. You think it'd be harder if you had it all?
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, I do. If you had it all, I think, as the say me as a parent, if I had everything right now, the hundreds of millions of dollars, I think it's people would be more inclined to want to give everything to everyone, so their loved ones, their nearest and dearest, like give it to them for free because they've got it. If you've got $800 million, you've got generational wealth you want to give. Why not my son? He can have a Ferrari, it's all right, it's a big deal. Take it, do this, have that. You want to go on a holiday? Absolutely, go first class, take a jet. I think people would yeah, I really do. Take the jet. Take the jet. Where do you want to go this weekend? Just take your mates, go for a cruise. That's interesting. I think people would do that. If you had that level of wealth A majority they would probably think, well, why wouldn't like?
Speaker 1:What Am I going to teach you? Okay, go. No, you're going to fly economy. Teach you a lesson. I didn didn't have that when you were, when I was your age. See what I mean. Is it going to be that level? I don't know. I don't think many people would. So it really comes up to.
Speaker 1:If you do, and that's fine, like if you're going to be that, if you're going to have that 800 million you're going to give them, take the private jet, but make sure they understand what it took for you to get in, for them to get onto that plane. Make sure they understand, you know, make sure they have that appreciation, make sure they maybe they work for it. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. That's cool, you got to company. That's the right thing, that's right, not the. But I don't know how many people would do that. That's all I'm getting at. That's all I'm getting. I don't know. I'd like to think it's the other way around. You know, even again, if, when I get, I say what? Not? If, when I get to that position where you've got an abundance of money, I wouldn't want the children, my kids, to be get to that position where you've got an abundance of money. I wouldn't want my kids to be thinking, yeah, easy, easy street, we've got an easy street, because I'd be like, oi, this is my money, me and your mama.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:You won. Poor motherfucker. Shaq says that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he says that there's a few people that say that Steve, yeah, he says that. There's a few people that say that, like Steve, yeah, oh, yes, harvey, steve Harvey says that as well. He's like not leaving the kids or anything. Yeah, he's like leaving a little bit to make sure that they're okay and spend the rest. Yeah, it's a very interesting concept, huh, because I feel like if you ask people, most people would know I guess most people know not to eat McDonald's too. Yeah, that's it. Path of the least resistance.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I see it all the time. Man, think about it when you start watching. I reckon that you see it everywhere. People always take people 90% of the time. Take the easy way. Probably do it yourself. I reckon I've done it. Probably still do it. I've taken ice baths. Who's the person?
Speaker 3:to me today, jumping in an ice bath it's nice and warm in my shower.
Speaker 1:What am I going to jump in an ice bath for you know what I mean, even though I know it'll be good for me Physically, mentally Too cold. People avoid looking at numbers, you know. Oh no, it's all right, we've got money in the bank, we're okay, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1:You know People avoid spending money on marketing. I know we're full. If I were going to spend money on marketing, I've got heaps of referrals. I get referrals all the time, path of least resistance. So what do you need to do to train yourself out of that? Then you know even something small, like you're saying doing your ice baths, doing something in the morning that you don't want to do, training your brain.
Speaker 1:When I say go, it means go, going for a run, athletes, athletes would have that in them too. Fuck, I hate that. Yeah, but if you've ever played any level of sport, do you like running? No, I've never been a huge fan of it. Like as in going for a road run, not really did I enjoy it, like even. But when I was playing football, no worries, I'd run all day, no hesitation. Like chasing the ball, like playing the sport, no sweat, training, yeah, no worries running. But go for a road run now, not really don't enjoy it. But you look at athletes like they've got that level where they've got to push through the pain barrier. There's that level of discomfort. That's what it is. It's discomfort. People are avoiding discomfort. You say it. People avoid pain more than they seek pleasure. Deal or no deal. I was watching it the other day. Have you ever seen that before?
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah. So they opened the suitcases. There's a hundred bucks in there, oh, a hundred bucks. The guy got to the very last two suitcases. I don't know how many times this has ever happened, but it happened this night. I was watching it and he had 50 cents and a hundred thousand dollars. They were the two suitcases that were left. One of the suitcases had 100K and then the bank offer was 50K. What would you have done Me? Yeah, I would have taken it, taken the 50K, 100%, yeah, but you have 50-50 chance.
Speaker 2:I know, but the 50-50 chance you're going to hang yourself, yeah, I don't know about, but it was a thought about that.
Speaker 1:Saying Avoid pain, get pleasure. He avoided pain. What happened?
Speaker 2:He took the 50K. I think that's a no-brainer in that position, dude.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean, if you don't have any money as well. Yeah, absolutely it is.
Speaker 2:I think it's a no-brainer. No matter what, is it? Yeah Fucking ballsy.
Speaker 1:What a story it would be. Hey, I don't know what I would do what? Yeah, I'd almost want to do it, just as be the guy that did it.
Speaker 2:You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:As in the guy that did it and got it, or the guy that did it and lost everything. It doesn't matter, I'm that guy.
Speaker 2:I'm him. Hey man, I've seen you before, yeah, fuck it.
Speaker 3:I'm the guy that won 50 cents. But, george, you are in a position that you can take the risk.
Speaker 2:Isn't it? 100k.
Speaker 1:Dude, 100K, no 100 or 50. You're risking 50 to make 50. You've got 50 in the bank.
Speaker 2:No, no, hold on. You're not risking 50. You're risking 100. Oh for nothing, 99. Yeah, 99, yeah, you're gonna. You're either gonna hit 100 or you're gonna hit 50 cents.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, that's right yeah, I would take a 50 yeah, every single time I'm just saying I would want to, and then I would go to the casino and put it all back and then I'm just saying I would want to, I'd want to be the guy who goes nah, fuck it, let's go, let's go. Why?
Speaker 2:why not? What a story. It'll strike me as a gambler I'm not a gambler. I've never seen you, ever, actually never seen you put a bet on a game.
Speaker 1:Nothing, but I thought I'd walk in there like I didn't have this when I walked in and really is 50 grand gonna change my life?
Speaker 2:probably not the what's the figure that would change your life, not your life. What's the figure that would change? Because I think everyone thinks $100,000 would completely change my life and I think most people it won't, and they don't understand that. Yeah, do you know what I mean? Yeah, but most people who don't have $100,000 would think $100,000 would change everything. For me.
Speaker 1:I think it would probably just get some people out of debt. It would get them out of their credit card debts, maybe pay off a couple of bills, go on a holiday and then they're back to where they were.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's what I'm saying. They'll be back to where they were.
Speaker 1:Exactly, and then they load up the credit card again, do you reckon?
Speaker 2:a million bucks is life-changing If you're smart with it. Yes, yeah, it's not set, though. No, it's not set for life, but at least you could be up to a pretty fucking good start.
Speaker 1:You go buy it. You can go buy a $2 million home for a million bucks. I can go buy a freaking 8 million home, whatever it might be. You've got nah, yeah, that's right, but you've got to be able to afford the repayments. They probably won't be able to. Yeah, you know what I mean. But I'm saying you can go buy a nice home and you're probably going to be set as far as paying that thing off sooner rather than later. That's all I would do if you had that million bucks.
Speaker 2:Is that what you would do?
Speaker 1:Not me, I'm just saying All right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, interesting huh.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, interesting, huh, yeah. So what would that figure be to change, to be actually life changing?
Speaker 2:you'd probably say five to ten you need five to never work, never work, to never, to not have to work again. Really, yeah, I think five mil you could do it. Fuck, yeah, I reckon you can do it five mil Never work, never work, to not have to work again. Really, yeah, I think 5 mil you could do it Fuck. You know what I mean. You can do it with 5 mil, you could do it. You could invest 5 mil and get a 5% return. That's $250,000 a year.
Speaker 1:You can live off. Yeah, people won't do. That though People won't do They'll go buy a't do. They'll go behind the house, they'll go by a car and they'll be left with a couple mil in the bank, or yeah, but that's just.
Speaker 2:You know what I mean. Or you can do that and get 250k a year and continue doing what you're doing do you know what I mean? And then go and invest that 250k every year. I guess just don't go and shit, that's just like that, like you're sitting here, mate. That was all you, oh what she the ground chilling out. That's been easy.
Speaker 3:That's um yeah, uh it sounds like a similar story about lottery winners, because most of them blow everything up. Yeah, uh, there was one case of a guy who actually spent it very smart and he didn't buy any houses, anything at all, and he just lives off of it. Just like robbie said, what? There's actually one guy, so he's getting something. Yeah, he actually did that, like he won the lottery in 2004 or something.
Speaker 1:He just actually puts the 20 mil in the bank and gets his return per annum and lives off that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, there is actually one living guy. I don't know anybody else, but most of them just blow it away.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think the study is something along the lines of three years and they're in a worse position than what they were before they won most people.
Speaker 1:You almost have to lock it away, I reckon, for a year um your farm well, warren buffett, probably warren buffett says.
Speaker 2:he says, if you use now, get all, got all the money in the world and split it evenly among everyone, give it. I can't remember the time frame he says I think it's five years or something. Give it five years and most of the money would end up back with the people who have it now. Yeah, how funny. Yeah, because they just understand. It's your habits. You know what I mean. They understand the game. Yeah, it's a game.
Speaker 1:And your bank accounts, you score.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's a game and you're banking, can't you school? Hmm, yeah, very true, very true. Anything else you'd like to touch on? Yeah yeah, no, no, um, yeah, but this is yeah. It'll be almost be last week of august, almost september, be like fucking four months left in the four months left in the year.
Speaker 1:we're already talking about coming into the christmas rush. All right, so we've got a job where we've got to be at a certain level so we can actually finish it next year, and I'm like fuck, there's actually not that much time left to do all of that stuff, let alone everything else we have to do in the meantime as well. So you're right, man, we're talking at the start of the year?
Speaker 2:What are your goals? This podcast?
Speaker 1:is about to hit a year Very cool, isn't it? Very cool? But we're talking at the start of the year as far as even for all our listeners. You set your goals. What are they? What are you trying to achieve? What do you want to do? How do you want to get there? Reassess Three quarters of the way through, three quarters of the way through. Well, what's changed? What needs to change? You changed, what needs to change, still got. Man, a lot can happen in three to four months. A lot can happen. It's very true, but a lot of people still think, oh, I'll just see at the end of the year. It should be right. Complacency you know that's what I'm saying like path of least resistance. It's easier not to worry about that stuff. It's easier just to clock in day in, day out, do the things.
Speaker 2:In four months' time, we're going to be halfway through the decade that COVID started. Yeah, that's scary. We're going to be halfway through that decade in the fifth year of the decade when COVID started. We're halfway through that decade.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's mental, isn't it? That's insane, it's insane.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's nuts. Alright, on that note, if you know that there's some things that you have been meaning to do this year that you haven't done yet, and one of those things might be subscribing to this channel I knew you were going there.
Speaker 1:I just wanted to bathe in the glory.
Speaker 2:I can see where this is going.
Speaker 1:Because it helps us man. It helps us, it helps you, it helps everyone on their journey, their entrepreneurial journey, on their life journey to achieve greatness. Because you know, we talk about this stuff today like following the path of least resistance. That's what most people do. We're here at 10 to 8 on a monday night filming this. Do you know how easy it could have been just to stay at home and watch TV? Very easy. Or just chill out, just do nothing else? Very easy. But we're here and we're doing this from a sense of wanting to achieve great things in the podcast world, in business, but also to help you guys, because that way you can then go out and have your little gems of success. You can go out and do all the shit that you want to do, because that way you can then go out and have your little gems of success. You can go out and do all the shit that you want to do and then you can go and tell everyone it's because I listened to million dollar days.
Speaker 2:Another thing I'd like to add to that is a massive, just a moment of gratitude for everyone listening to this dude. You know, when you guys reach out to us, like either one. Like someone told me the other day that they they're going to go on the health journey now because they heard about what I do and I'm like how good is that? Like I probably just extended someone's life indirectly. No shit, do you know what I mean? Like how cool is that man? And, honestly, like we love to hear it so much.
Speaker 1:We always get, we always send each other the messages.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm like dude. Look at this.
Speaker 1:It's just cool man, yeah good, the other day we literally toured Australia doing an event and then we had multiple people coming up to us saying oh man, love, I can't remember who it was, I forgot his name, he goes. The whole reason I'm here is because I listen to your podcast.
Speaker 2:In Melbourne yeah.
Speaker 1:Bought your ticket coming here and he's bought his ticket to the next event we're going to see him next week and he's got other stuff coming to do with you as well. The connections that you can make are absolutely phenomenal, absolutely phenomenal, and I can't wait to see where this journey takes us. Because journey takes us? Because you know I've had some people that are known in other industries that if I dropped a name now, everyone would know who he is saying hey, I was listening to your podcast the other day. How cool is that? Can I come on and say, yeah, absolutely, I'll have a chat.
Speaker 2:I'll let you know but it's like when are you gonna get this person on god?
Speaker 1:no, but the idea is it's only going to get to that point where, eventually, everyone will know. Do you know what I mean? It's going to get to that point it's because we keep persistently going against the path of least resistance. This is hard. We take time out of our day. You can like it. Some people like doing push-ups, some people like going for runs. It's not easy. How many push-ups can you do?
Speaker 2:at least 50 oh, you can do 50 push-ups, I reckon look, I'll be sweating at 20.
Speaker 1:Yeah, should I wait? I'm not sweating, but I'll be. It'd be hard work, yeah, no, I don't know. I reckon I could do 50. 50 is good effort. Yeah, um, but what I was getting at is, if you guys want extraordinary things in your life, then you have to do things that other people are not. As simple as that. It is as simple as that, and the beauty of what what that means in your life is because 90 of the people on this planet are doing the path of least resistance. You only have to work this much harder. You only have to work this much harder. You only have to work that 10% harder than everyone else and you will crush it and be consistent, consistently 10% harder than everyone else and you will crush it. Then imagine if you go 50% and imagine if you go 100%. You're going to leave everyone behind.
Speaker 1:Kobe I follow him more now in his death than I ever did his life, but he used to do a thousand shots before every game On the weekend. I follow him more now in his death than I ever did his life, but he used to do a thousand shots before every game and on the weekend, me and my wife took our son to the basketball courts before his game and we just shot, shot after shot after shot, just working on his technique Probably did a hundred shots before his game Went to the game and he fucking killed it. He was nailing them from all over the court Like shots. We thought why are you having a shot from there? And he got it in. But he did that extra 10%. That made you feel better. Yeah, that was sick, yeah, but it was great to see what we're preaching and practicing and are coming into fruition With your own kid as well.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you know, I wish I had that when I was younger and practicing and are coming into fruition With your own kid as well. Yeah, you know, I wish I had that when I was younger. I wish I had that person to go no, no, go, go, go, do it, do it, do it, push, push, push. But even though I don't have it, you have it now because I'm telling you fucking, push, work, put in that extra effort.
Speaker 1:Man, if someone was so fucking good today at their job interview, I would have hired them. I would have said you know what? You're perfect, you don't need to speak to anyone else, but people are letting themselves down. You know what I mean. Yeah, I know you know well. But the question is do you guys know? And I hope that's a yes, and the way you're going to continue to know is, if you subscribe and if you share it with someone else, send us a message. We'd love to hear it. What did you like? What didn't you like? We want to know everything, but, as always, I hope you guys are dominating in everything you're doing and you're having. We haven't. I'm going to close with this. I haven't opened with it in a while, but we're going to close with it and I hope you have had a million-dollar day.
Speaker 2:Thanks guys, cheers guys.
