Robby: 0:00

So who you got for the granny?

George: 0:02

Uh fuck, maybe, maybe I'll. Who will I go for?

Robby: 0:06

It's not who I got, who I think will win, but no, I don't care who you're going for, I want to know who you think is going to win. You know, like Patrick. Okay, crips won the Brownlow. Who's that?

George: 0:20

Uh, brisbane, no Sydney, sorry Sydney, sydney will win. Brisbane, no Sydney, sorry Sydney, sydney will win. Sydney will win Best name of the year.

Robby: 0:27

Too strong, for too long.

George: 0:28

Yep, and they should do it, do I think Brisbane can win it yes.

Robby: 0:39

Year 2, episode 1. Do you Shit? Year 2 episode, episode one 2.1,. We'll call this.

George: 0:48

That's awesome. That's a great way to start the podcast off Year two. Do you believe in manifesting? Do I yeah Like? Do you believe in the whole notion that you can bring something to fruition by believing it, by hoping it happens not hoping, but believing it's going to happen?

Robby: 1:17

yes, yes, yes, yeah. The the simplest answer is yes.

George: 1:21

I think it works because when you start to have that mindset of abundance of belief, you subconsciously put things in motion for that to happen. Do you know what I mean? That's how I think it works with the manifest. I don't believe that you can sit there on the couch and go oh, a million dollars.

Robby: 1:42

I think I just fall from the air.

George: 1:44

Yeah, exactly, you go outside you fall over and you look under your deck and there's a million bucks oh wow. So I don't believe it happens like that. However, I do believe when you have that unwavering belief and higher purpose, it will happen. Do you know what I mean? Like, even us doing this podcast contributes to doing that, to achieving goals and things that you want, and I've really felt that over the last couple months. You know, the other day you were saying you felt like you've been running on a treadmill.

Robby: 2:20

Yeah.

George: 2:20

I felt like I've stepped off the treadmill and I'm running now. So you're making, we're making, we're making just making moves, all right from the monetary point of view, like we've won some significant contracts, starting to get back on track, and I feel that what's coming is huge as well what is it that you think has led you to that point?

George: 2:47

I honestly feel that you know you would say sometimes it takes one 10 years before you get the one. I feel I'm at that point. I feel I've done the 10. Next year will be our 10th anniversary at the business, but I feel like I've done the time and now it's starting to come together. Everything like from the perspective of you know even doing the consulting, the events and now how the construction company is taking off. I feel that everything we've done up until this point is leading to what's happening now. But I've believed it too, like I've always said it, from day one I go shit's going to explode, like it's going to happen one day where we're going to turn around, we're going to sign five contracts and they're going to be $15 million each. You know what I mean and your life changes in those moments. That's where I feel the business is about to go.

Robby: 3:43

Like it's just about to pop yeah. Yes, that's where I feel the business is about to go Like it's just about to pop. Yeah, yes, yes, see what I did. There Is a dog going to eat that stuff.

George: 3:53

No, she'll be all right. Yeah, character building Okay.

Robby: 3:57

This is how you build dogs. Let's talk about that. So I do. I definitely think that you're doing all the consulting stuff right, and a lot of the stuff you do there I think is having an impact on PASCON yes, yes, I do, but also I feel it's having an impact on me as a human.

George: 4:29

Yes, yeah, yeah elaborate, because I'm standing on stage, I'm preaching. I said, hey, do it like this. This is what works, this is what's good, this is how you make it happen, and it's like I'm almost talking to myself. Do you know what I mean? I'm not talking to the audience, I'm talking to myself. Every time I'm on stage, you're talking to the audience, but you also hear the message. Yeah, what I mean when I'm talking. Obviously I'm talking to the audience.

George: 5:02

It's like the message is for you, the message is for me Just as much. It's like there's this guy. Have you seen the guy that does the ice baths every single day? And then he does. He goes good morning everyone. He's like today is day 379 of taking an ice bath every single day, and then he'll give a one-minute speech about something.

George: 5:23

He literally always comes up with that. What he said was he goes at the end of when he did 365 days in a row, ice bath every single day and he goes. I'm going to give you guys all a little secret. Every single thing I've been talking about, all that daily motivation, he goes. It's been my own shortcomings and beliefs. It's what I needed to hear. It's what I needed to hear. I've been speaking to myself the whole time. I haven't been speaking to anyone on the other side of the screen. I've been speaking to me. They're all my doubts, they're all my fears, they're all the things that I'm going through and I've just explained that and reiterated that and, as a result, he's blown up, he's got books, he's got a whole range of shit that's happened in his life, fantastic things, hundreds of thousands of followers, and I felt that that's how builder leaders helped. You know, because I can stand on stage, I'm saying this is what I do, this is how it works, this is. I have a huge belief in it and I now feel that that's part of that manifestation where things are starting to come to life and fruition in the construction business. They always have. I just said we had a massive setback, obviously with a few years back, with everything that happened in the in the industry and recovered and whatnot, but again we've bounced back bigger and better and and it's. It's just interesting to set to take a step back and watch it. And it's just interesting to take a step back and watch it. I go cool.

George: 6:49

Well, the other thing that happened is I had a similar period in my business where we had a significant amount of growth. We won $10 million worth of work in the space of three, four weeks and the business grew and I didn't grow with the business. And then we had issues, quality problems, all that sort of shit. Still delivered. The jobs made changes. That's when I actually started looking at seeking out a mentor and educating myself a bit more in business.

George: 7:12

But I started to believe the hype as well. Oh, you guys are killing it, you guys are doing really good. I started to think my shit didn't stink, had some money behind me. Look how good I am killing it, crushing it, just building jobs, fucking ruling the world. And I started to believe that my own hype. And now I don't feel like that at all, not even in the slightest. I feel like good.

George: 7:36

Next one have you seen that meme. With that they've got the soccer player where if the crowd's going wild in the background and the coach is just there, he's just going, just calm down, just relax. It's cool. I'll send it to you when I find it. One day we just said calm down, hey, we haven't won the game yet, let's keep going. We've still got another half. So now I'm looking at where we're at with the wins that we're getting and I'm like, okay, good, you mentioned it the other day. You know you're getting comfortable. That's stuck, huh, Fucking stuck. Heaps, Heaps, heaps. I think about it all the time, All the time. I don't know. That's how good. It's like that we talked last episode we were speaking about. You know what have you learned in the podcast? How good has it been to have that check-in and that accountability.

Robby: 8:17

Live.

George: 8:17

That stuck. Yeah, exactly, have that conversation, otherwise we wouldn't have spoken about that yeah, wouldn't have spoken about it. Would I have it with my missus? No, would she turn around say oh, you're getting comfortable, can I get you clean? Oh, shit, shit, you heard it here so safe, we know that, so safe. So yeah, it's that aspect of it too. So I'm not comfortable.

Robby: 8:50

So I think it's like you're pushing.

Speaker 3: 8:55

Yeah.

Robby: 8:56

But also it's like I heard this thing the other day. There was something along the lines of you either grow into something and then things follow through, or sometimes you're looking at doing it and something falls in front of you yeah, like you get the opportunity. Yeah, and you need to either grow into that opportunity or that opportunity is going to go fleeting. Yes, you know what I mean and it happens to me all the time. Dude, you hear about people who you know they landed a job without doing 200K a year for two years and then now they're back to 100k. Yeah, and it's like how are you not in that same position? They couldn't grow to fill the shoes that they needed to fill.

George: 9:32

Yeah, and I think you're probably just in a different place, mentally heaps, without a doubt. You know what I mean. So different, so different, and it's cool, it's exciting. I love that.

Robby: 9:43

I've seen that means that you've grown. It means that things have changed you know, yeah, yeah here like internally, not externally. Yeah, that external will follow, but uh, I think it's your ability to take what is now and step into it yeah, yeah, absolutely.

George: 10:04

I was speaking with a client the other day and I said to him are you into the F1? Because I knew he was into his cars, are you coming to the F1 tomorrow, next year? Blah, blah, blah. He's like oh, he goes, yeah, he goes, I do go, he goes, I've gone, haven't gone for a couple of years. He's an older gentleman, really nice guy, because I've got corporate tickets to the F1, so I'm going to take him. I was leading into hey, I've got a ticket, you're coming. And then he goes oh look, I'm part of the Ferrari club, so they often give us tickets. And then here I am going hey, come to my corporate little box. Yeah, at the end of turn two, yeah, he's above fucking pit lane just fucking touching the wheels of the Ferraris. But anyway, that's not the point of the story. He's going to come, it's actually. It goes into a pool. He's got a Ferrari himself and he goes. You go into a pool for Ferrari owners and they because there's lots of Ferrari owners and then they just, if you want a ticket, you put your name in the barrel and they draw a name out and you can go. You still got to buy a ticket, though I'm pretty sure you have to pay for it. I'm pretty sure Depends what. Like he's got an older Ferrari too. He's had it for a while and been rebuilding it, like he's part of the club.

George: 11:21

Anyway, he was talking to me about he goes. Oh, this weekend I'm actually going away with some mates just going for a drive. I said, oh yeah, cool, where are you going? What are you doing? He goes. Oh, he goes about a few times a year.

George: 11:35

We all get together in the Ferrari club and we take our cars and we just go for a cruise for 10 days or for the weekend or whatever it might be. We start here, we go all the way there. I go oh nice, he goes. Everyone like take their Ferrari, he goes. Oh no, there's heaps of different cars. You know, some people like they haven't got Ferraris. They're part of the Ferrari club. He goes. But there's McLarens, there's Lamborghinis, there's whatever you want. You name it. He goes.

George: 12:05

I've a whole range of cars that come with us, but there's just car enthusiasts. I'm like, yeah, interesting, and it made me think we've still got to go buy a car. And I was thinking about that and I was like, okay, if I had the Lambo now, or Ferrari, and I said, hey, I'm actually looking to join a club. Do you mind if I come? Is it okay? If I come, can I get a membership? How do I join the club? Yeah, absolutely, he goes. Oh, I get to invite three people a year. Whatever it is, here I'll invite you Because you pay a membership fee of a thousand bucks. Whatever it is, I go. Great, when are you going for the drive? He goes. Oh, yeah, this weekend. Do you want to come? Yeah, absolutely, wait.

Robby: 12:44

So you did ask him. No, I don't have a friend. No, but did you ask him all those questions about no, no, no, no, no, no, no no, but in my mind I was already asking him Whilst we were having this conversation.

George: 12:55

I'm thinking is a high net worth individual and I'm like okay, you and your 10 other mates with all of your supercars, you now trust me to build your home and to do business with me. And now, with my, I go and spend half a mil on a new car, on a Ferrari. Let's go to Zagami, wherever we go, buy a car, then come with you and then you're going to introduce me to this friend and to this friend and to this friend and to this friend. All these guys in that circle, without a doubt, would be high net worth individuals If they can afford the car.

George: 13:43

Honestly, if you're in that space where you can afford to drop half a million dollars, a million dollars, on a vehicle or multiple vehicles, you're doing it wrong. Most of the time, you're going to be in business as well. Yeah, and that got me thinking. So if I had the car and I was able to connect with them, I just don't see how I wouldn't be able to do more deals and pay for that car off in one transaction, 100%. Do you know what I mean? And it's like that whole manifesting thing.

Robby: 14:11

Or even do all right, let's just say, you don't. That's one aspect.

Robby: 14:16

Yeah, just one, you go there and you deal with one person there. Yes, you might go there and just realize you might learn something. Yeah, like they might just say something. You'd be like, wait, what you can do. That like wait, hold on, that's a thing. How many times someone does it? You what, what? Like wait, that's a thing. I didn't know, that was a thing. Well, how many times have you have you either learned it from someone or spoken about something and someone didn't know it? And then you're like, yeah, you need to do this so you don't pay this or so and this, that also, you make this much or so that you're structured like this, or so you're like, yeah, you need to do this so you don't pay this, or so you make this much or so that you're structured like this or so you're protected, or whatever it is, and it's like you could just learn a thing that could pay for the car.

George: 14:52

Yeah.

Robby: 14:53

Exactly.

George: 14:54

It's not even a or a connection with someone. I'd be like hey, I'm a builder, he goes, hey, I know the owner of Bunnings, know what, know what I mean. And it's like oh really, because you're mate, dude, because, you're never paying retail ever again.

Speaker 3: 15:07

You can, how much?

Robby: 15:07

you get off, you get five percent, that's funny. Yeah, that's cute, you get five percent, like every other builder percent yeah, and it's like how much did you just save?

George: 15:15

25 and I spend a million, over a million dollars a year at bunnings. I'm 250k. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, it's like he likes me that much where he goes. Hey, my son, my daughter, this person wants to connect with you, whatever it is dude, he might even just it opens it, just it's.

George: 15:34

It's like I say some of my mentees now, it's like I'm trying to teach you, like okay, you guys have to think different. You're doing the same. You you said it to me the other day you had a client that's a builder and you're like you, you're trying to extract out of him what makes you different. Like I need you to make some videos for me. I need you to do this. I need you to do this Because how can we? You're trying to inspire him, to say, to get him to think differently, and he goes well, why should someone build with you? It's like we're trustworthy.

Robby: 16:01

Yeah.

George: 16:02

Okay, you're trustworthy. Okay, all right. What else are you? We deliver on time. Okay, high quality, good quality. We you know. It's all the same shit, Dude. You just told me what every other fucking builder on the planet says.

Robby: 16:17

Yeah, george, you know yourself that you don't control your thoughts. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, you don't control your thoughts. Yes, yeah, yeah yeah, you don't control your thoughts.

George: 16:25

That's right, they're put there by other things. But you can still. You know better and you can help guide him. But my point is everyone's doing the same thing. Everyone is doing the exact same thing.

Robby: 16:37

That's a great way to get what everyone else has got.

George: 16:41

That's right, but it's also a great way to get what everyone else doesn't have as in by you doing something differently. Yeah, and that's where I feel I've got that point of difference at the moment, with the consulting company being that point of difference. But also now I've just appointed a GM from a. When's this going to air? Mid to late October, october.

Speaker 3: 17:05

Yeah, that's fine, make sure Mid to late October.

George: 17:06

October. Yeah, that's fine, make sure it's late October.

Robby: 17:08

Thanks, I'll tell you the exact date.

George: 17:12

Yeah, so yeah, the GM will. It's all right, as long as it's after the mid-October period, sure, but I'm excited about that. I'm thinking different. How many of you business owners out there today, right now, no matter what industry you're in, it doesn't have to be construction are thinking about putting someone else in charge of your company?

Robby: 17:34

Very few, very few, very few.

George: 17:41

Look at all the big businesses, or bigger businesses they all have C-suite executives in their business. All of them. All of them have C-suite executives. So you might be a small business you can still be a small business and start just to think a bit bigger. This didn't happen for me overnight. This has been a process of 10 years in business. I'm at the point I was thinking you know what? I don't want to do? The same thing I've done for the next 10 years that I've done the last 10. Yeah, I've got to change shit up. Something has to give. Now imagine I put this guy on and he brings on $30 million worth of work. I didn't do that, but the actions I took did. But the actual getting of that work didn't happen through me, it happened through him.

Robby: 18:27

Yeah, it doesn't have to happen through you.

George: 18:29

Yeah, that's right, because I'm starting to think bigger and play bigger games and go. All right, this is great, let's get these projects coming through. All right, this is great, let's get these projects coming through. And then that allows me to connect into other things. And it's so funny because I walked here this morning before the podcast. I left my AirPods at home at the office, sorry, and my daughter took my headphones to go on the plane the other day, so I don't have them either. So I didn't have anything. I wasn't listening to anything on my walk uh, last couple nights yeah, it was cool.

George: 19:01

The time went quicker than when I then when I do have something I'm listening to anyway, why, I don't know. I was just I was fucking lost in my thoughts. I really I've honed in on this idea and I don't want to discuss it on air, but I'll discuss it with you after because I wouldn't mind listening to your opinion. And this idea came to me to connect with another client of mine to make it to put a proposal forward to him. And I'm trying to think subjectively about it and go when I put this proposal forward to him, why would he say no? And then why would he say yes? And the more I think about it, the more beneficial, the more I think I'm trying to see if I'm hyping myself up about it, but it's about I'm trying to solve their problem and they're going to pay for it, like they will pay great money for it it's business that's right solve someone's problem and they give you money to know it's not a little bit of money like they will give me a lot I.

George: 19:59

It's not a little bit of money Like they will give me a lot, I'm going to ask for a lot of money.

Robby: 20:01

I didn't say a little bit, no, no.

George: 20:02

But I just want to clarify.

Robby: 20:04

I'm going to ask for a lot of money. Better be a lot of problems, it's-.

George: 20:10

The funny. Thing is-. All right it. I didn't have a bag. You didn't have a bag. Iggy, can you give me something? A bag over there, just any bag. You've got anything empty full, whatever? Yeah, that'll do. Perfect, because I wanted to be on camera too for those watching on YouTube.

Robby: 20:35

Yeah, lunchbox, is that the drone? That's the drone. Comes in a little esky you would have bought. That comes in a did you buy watching on YouTube? Yeah, lunchbox, is that the drone?

George: 20:42

That's the drone. Yeah, comes in a little esky he would have bought that Comes in a.

Robby: 20:44

did you buy that? You don't know what's in this. By the way, Me I don't know. You've got no idea, no idea.

George: 20:48

I just picked it up.

Robby: 20:50

Yeah.

George: 20:51

Will you give me?

Speaker 3: 21:02

will you give me?

George: 21:02

$50,000 for this bag right now? No, okay, that's the mentality of 99% of the people.

Robby: 21:12

Would you give me $50,000 for this bag if there was four kilos?

George: 21:17

of solid gold in it.

Robby: 21:17

If the value outweighed, yeah, so most of the time most of the time.

George: 21:20

What is that? Four kilos of gold's worth A fuckload. Get your ass with Siri.

Robby: 21:27

Ask her hey Siri, how much is four kilos of gold worth in Australian dollars? Well, fuck that up, hey Siri. Iphone 16 didn't even work. How much is four kilos of gold worth? Live gold prices? Oh yeah, so gold is GCF 2693, whatever that means, is that?

George: 21:56

per ounce. It could be ounce, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a fuckload more. Let's get back to it, gold. A poor person's gonna ask we'll say no. Someone that's thinking different, someone that's thinking outside of the box, I should say a poor person. I meet a person with the same beliefs and thoughts they've always had as everyone else, like what we just mentioned. That builder that is a good quality builder builds on time, all that. So he says the same beliefs and thoughts they've always had as everyone else, like what we just mentioned. That builder that is a good quality builder builds on time, all that sort of shit. He says the same fucking thing, he thinks the same fucking thing. He's doing the same fucking thing as everyone else.

George: 22:26

Okay, but you wouldn't give me. He would look at this and go I'm not going to give you $50,000 for this bag. Someone that's thinking bigger says well, what's in the bag? That's the question. He would ask what's in the bag? Not, I'm not going to give. No, why am I going to give you? He looks at the bag and sees a bag. He doesn't look at the bag and go hang on, the content of this bag could be worth millions of dollars. Yeah, I'll give you $50,000 for it, absolutely. So it's the question that you've got to ask. It's the ability to be thinking different and doing different things and thinking in a bigger way. And the reason why I say I'm going to ask them for a lot of money is because I'm going to solve a really, really big problem for them, which will save them 10 times more money than what I'm asking I'm gonna flip the script on you good please.

Robby: 23:15

I heard a great thing, a way to handle objections. Yeah, and you, when you pitch your price to someone and they say, oh no, that's too much, and you say, oh sorry, I must have misunderstood. I thought you were trying to solve a big problem here. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, and that's why I thought the no, no, it is significant, it is a big problem. We do need for example, in my case, we do need more leads, or we do need to generate more business. Oh, but you only spend $200? Yeah, is that how you think this works? You spend a small amount to solve a big problem. Yeah, that's not how life works, my friend, that's right.

George: 23:50

That's right. So the point I'm getting at, though, is the only reason that this thought came to my mind was because now I'm like, well, if I'm going to have someone else taking care of my business and running the day-to-day operations and it's operating without me and it's a well-oiled machine which it will be, because there'll be transition, obviously, but it will be because I'm very systems and process driven. That's how the business operates in the first place. So, as long as he picks up where I've left off, everything should go right. And there'll be checks and balances and shit we do along the way. But because I've gone like that, I said, well, okay, well, what's next? What's next, what's the next step? I'm not going to go. I'm not putting on a GM so I can stay home and play PlayStation all day. Do you know what I mean? I'm not going to sit there and go. Yeah, this is my life. Now Live the good life. Oh, it must be nice, George, getting comfortable Are you getting distracted.

George: 24:42

No, I don't believe so. I don't believe so. I actually and I mentioned this to you the other day I felt that the consulting company builder elite was the distraction. Yeah, I do believe it's contributed to the success too, but I think there was a period of time there where it's becoming a distraction in certain elements because it was pulling me away from some of the obligations that I had to my construction business as well. So that's that's going to be very interesting to see how I manage that next year as well and how I do that. I might it'll still exist.

George: 25:13

I think I'm very good at it. It's a really good product, it's a really good thing for builders to have in their corner and construction professionals. So we'll continue with it. It's just what level I take it to next. So this problem I'm thinking about solving for them, I'm going to pitch it to them, I'm going to approach them. They may say no, totally fine, but the point is they also might say yes, but the point is I was thinking about it, I'm thinking differently, I'm thinking differently, which, I guarantee you, if I continued on the path that I'm on now not putting on the GM, not doing that I wouldn't have approached him, I wouldn't even cross my thoughts to call him up and approach him and say that, okay, so I'm going to play devil's advocate here, yeah, please.

Robby: 25:54

So I had a conversation with someone last night. So I had a conversation with someone last night yep, and they were saying they were talking to me about. They do. Every time I sit down with this person, they always say to me so are you doing anything else? Like every single time? Yeah, what. So? What else are you doing? Looking to doing any new ventures? Yeah, and I'm like go on the red dress, go on the red dress, go on the red dress Every fucking time, dude.

George: 26:22

And I'm like no, Can you give some context on the go on the red dress for those that don't understand what we're referencing?

Robby: 26:27

This is a term coined by Alex Homozy, where he talks about the.

George: 26:37

So for those the matrix, for those the matrix. Anyone seen the matrix? Because he does reference it from there it is yes from the matrix.

George: 26:43

So when neo, in nature, the very first one. So when neo goes into the matrix for the very first time, or the computer system for the very first time, he's walking down the street with morpheus and then, as he's walking down, a really attractive hot woman everyone's wearing like dull colors in the simulation, just plain clothing, nothing bright. Then there's this really blonde, attractive woman in a bright red dress that walks by and then, as he's walking, as she passes him, keanu Reeves turns his head and looks right as most red-blooded men will do.

George: 27:21

Red-blooded men will do and then red-blooded men, pretty sure, and that's the concept that leads into this yeah, so in the sense of it's a distraction.

Robby: 27:31

Distraction, right, and in business, the core aim is to focus and you will get distractions and the bigger your business gets, the hotter the girl in the red dress gets, in the sense of, the bigger the opportunity. And I say opportunity in what's that called Inverted commas? Inverted commas, yeah, I say opportunity in inverted commas because it will be positioned as an opportunity, but it's essentially distraction, which might seem like a way to make an extra amount of money or significant amount of money, but really you, if you controlled your focus, that would actually take away from what you could do. Right, and every single time I catch up with this gentleman, he says-.

George: 28:21

Do I know him?

Robby: 28:22

Yeah, no. He says what new ventures do you have on? Or blah, blah, blah, and I always say no, like nothing.

George: 28:30

Is he insinuating for you? What other businesses are you looking at buying, or anything like?

Robby: 28:34

Yeah, yeah, things like that and I'm always like and I explained this to him last night and I said I think it's the biggest distraction ever. And I think that you're trying to do and this is what I'm saying to you now because even though you have someone doing the day-to-day in PASCON, there is non-day-to-day stuff that needs to be done. Do you know what I mean? It's like how do you now position yourself to double your insurance cap? Yeah, do you know what I mean?

Speaker 3: 28:59

Yeah, yeah, yeah, things like that.

Robby: 29:00

So it's like but if you get distracted with something else, it might pull away from that, which might limit what you can do. Um, and it's like how do you not let the the more success you have, the hotter the girl in the red dress becomes yeah that's the whole concept.

Robby: 29:17

And the more you start like you start doing bigger things, you start getting more notice. All of a sudden, the opportunities start getting greater. Yeah, we'll start getting bigger. All of a sudden you met this guy who's this thing and now we can do this thing with, uh, this big company or whatever it might be right. And it's like I had the conversation with him yesterday and I explained it to him. I said I don't, I think it's a waste of time because he's big on that. Oh yeah, we're doing this and we're doing that there and we got this other company and we're doing this here and I also do this other thing and we do coaching and a whole bunch of jazz.

Robby: 29:53

And then I questioned him something about one of his companies. And then I questioned him something about one of his companies and then he had this block of like oh yeah, but we can't do that because government, blah, blah, blah. And I was like okay, that's one aspect, what about this, what about this, what about this? And then he's like oh yeah, I haven't really thought about that. I said it's almost like you're distracted now. Good, do you know what I mean? Because we think, oh no, but I need to run seven businesses and what you don't understand is that, no, you need seven different income streams in your one business. Yeah, jerry, you need to focus it within, not out, and I think I think a lot of people in the business space tend to have a level of I think a lot of people in the business space tend to have a level of ADHD kind of like.

Robby: 30:44

It's very easy to get distracted by the shiny new thing. Yeah, you know what I mean. Most business, oh, I don't know. Another opportunity Cause when you start to understand the business world, the way you see things changes and then all of a sudden it's like wait, hold on, so we can go make an extra three grand a month doing that thing as well, and we can get extra make a 10 grand a month doing this. And then it's like, all of a sudden, everything is a new shiny object and I think the power to build a big business comes from your ability to not look at the shiny thing and look at what's in front of you. Yep, you know what I mean.

Robby: 31:24

And the gentleman I caught up with last night, I was saying it to him and I was like you're not doing this, right, like you're not. But his thing is oh, but we've grown. Yeah, but you could have grown so much more. Yeah, exactly. Oh. Yeah, but I'm doing this as well. Yeah, but you feel like you're winning. But are you really winning? Do you know what I mean? And that's why I ask you that question Are you distracting yourself Because it's like, okay, cool, I can go make let's just say you can make a million bucks.

Robby: 31:48

Okay, just for the sake of round numbers, I can go do this amount of time, energy, focus into, say, pascon. How much can you make? Do you know what I mean? And then, how much could you make in three years and in five years? Because the hardest thing about business, dude, the toughest thing is fundamentals. You know what I mean. It takes, I reckon, three. I'm going to estimate based on what I've been told but I reckon it takes probably three to five years to really get good traction, like really good traction, like where you're turning over a great amount of money. I tend to agree with that. Yeah, it's not everyone wants to turn over a million bucks in the first six months and it's like very few businesses do that and when they do, they're generally chaotic as fuck when they're new, because they don't have the processes.

Robby: 32:45

Yeah, you know what I mean. It's all over the shop, the customer experience is shit, the products fall apart and it's like to build every. There are so many moving parts in a business, so many moving parts To get every aspect right. It takes a lot of time, man, like a lot of time. I feel like I've changed your mind. No no, I just wanted to let you talk, yeah, and I think, yeah, you got to ask yourself that question.

George: 33:13

Yeah, I hear what you're saying. Yeah, and I did think because we've had these conversations. It's questions I've asked myself when I'm walking without the headphones Okay, so what's the difference? Why don't I just do this myself in my own business? Because it is a bit of business integration what I'm thinking, putting this offer forward to them and it's already leveraging what I'm doing now in my own business, but with someone else, and solving their problem at the same time and also ensuring my own, like it ensures a level of income for Ascon as well. And there's restrictions, say, with myself at the the moment I've got the restrictions with insurance cover, so I've got a decent amount of cover, a lot more than a lot of builders and I'm going to go and actually apply to double it in the set. As my accountant finishes the end of financial year reporting and all that sort of stuff, I'm going to submit all the paperwork and go and literally ask for about $40 million worth of cover for insurance. I don't think they'll give it to me, which is fine, but more often than not, yeah, that's right, I'm asking for significantly more than I anticipate to get, but I'd rather ask for 40 than ask for 20. Do you know what I mean Get it and then give me 30. And then I say or I ask for 20 and they give me 18. Do you know what I mean? Because that's what I did last time. I asked for a ridiculous figure and they ended up giving me a lot more than I thought that I needed or that I thought I would get. So my intent this time around is to go cool, I want to afford because I actually had okay.

George: 35:00

I had a person call me this week I think it was on Tuesday. He had a project in Kewlaw East 42 townhouses, big job, it's a $30 million project. Can't do it, I can't take it on because I don't have enough insurance. And I said that to the guy. I said listen, the problem you're going to face now is you're going to be looking at some builders who your pool of builders that you can select are going to be small, because there's not that many that have that level of home warranty insurance. And then the bigger guys don't want to touch townhouses as well. But it made me think as well look, I can't take that project on. I would like to because it's no brainer. It's not a difficult thing to do. It's very much cut, rinse and repeat and I couldn't do it. So I'm going to apply for a significant increase in my insurance. Ask for 40, maybe get 25, maybe get 30, maybe get 40. Who fucking knows?

George: 36:03

I've been doing this for 10 years now. I've got the track record of delivering high-end projects, high-value projects. I'm probably the ideal candidate for them to give the money to. I'm the type of builder they need in the industry to fucking be delivering projects. But I couldn't deliver that job so I actually turned it down. I said look, mate, sorry, I can't help you in this instance. And also even the insurance that I've got now I'm using on other projects I'm going to be maxed out pretty soon. So that is a problem in itself. So let's assume I don't get the insurance covered.

George: 36:29

Then this venture that I'm looking at. I think it's going to be very beneficial for me and the company because I can leverage other people's resources too. But anyway, the whole point of what I'm saying with this is I don't think I'd be thinking that opportunity I think would have presented itself or would have come up had I not been doing something different in the first place. And I don't believe it'll be a distraction because it's going to be a lot of what I'm doing anyway, and it's in the same industry. It's doing the exact same shit. It's still construction. Yeah, I think, if anything, in all honesty, if anything, if this deal falls through, very likely that I'd take a big step back on Builder Elite If it goes through. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3: 37:09

Yeah.

George: 37:10

It would just have to. I just won't have the time to do that. Or it just turns out that I go cool, you want to be mentored by me. Great, do that. Or it just turns out that I go cool, you want to be mentored by me.

Robby: 37:21

Great, I can show you now. It's now $50,000. Yeah, or yeah?

George: 37:23

there's ways to yeah, there'll be still ways to do it. And I say this is what you get for that period, Whether you do or don't, that's right, this is what you get, this is how you do it. But then I, because I'm like, hey guys, I've got let's just say because I was still, regardless of whether this deal falls through, I'm still applying for that insurance cover. So I get it. Cool, I get $40 million. Let me show you how I did that. Let me show you how everyone here is scratching around to try and get $2, $3, $5 million cover. Let me show you how I got $40. You don't think that's worth fucking. Yeah, you don't think that's worth paying me $50,000 for so I can 10X your business or 10X your potential earnings your capabilities.

George: 38:01

Now, on top of that, let me show you how I've got net profit of X amount of dollars. Let me show you you don't think that's worth $50,000?. Just throwing $50,000 out there now, just as a round number. But this is where people are doing the same shit, thinking about the same things and not getting those results. Fucking in the metricon. At some stage he was building the same amount of houses as I am. At one stage of his career he was doing the exact same turnover as me yeah, I think people don't think about that.

Robby: 38:35

like mcdonald's had one store. Yeah, do you know what I mean? People don't think about that. Like McDonald's had one store. Yeah, do you know what I mean? People don't. We fail to. We just look at things in too much of a small Like. We look at the now. We look at the now too much unconsciously yeah, do you know what I mean? When we should be looking at the now consciously and taking in everything unconsciously, but we don't. We're not awake consciously and we're just unconscious. Is just on what's in front of me right now? Yeah, um, and I think that's that's the game changer.

Robby: 39:07

who's to say paschal and card be 3000 homes here yeah, that's right totally, totally right, or you know, 300 times, or whatever it is yeah that's it that's right.

George: 39:19

but this is where I'm saying like I feel that if I was to stay in my current position, I don't see where we're doing 3000 homes a year, me running the day-to-day operation of the business. Yeah, so I'd still have to step out and go cool, you run day-to-day. I will look at how we get 3,000 homes a year.

Robby: 39:37

Yeah, I will look at how we structure this so that we can have 100% growth each year. Yeah, do you know what I mean? That's exactly right To double the business year on year on year.

George: 39:46

Then that's when you get the GM and you go cool, I need a CFO now.

Robby: 39:51

Yeah, because he needs to do some stuff off your plate, that's right.

George: 39:54

Now I need to go get a fucking marketing manager. Yeah, and we have dedicated, that does dedicated brand Dedicated team, or I'll just call you hey, full time, this person works for me. Go get him, all right, that's it. That's it. I'll say to you just get him out, just make it happen for me. I don't want to employ him, I just want a dedicated team member from you to manage all the marketing. He works on my account and my account, only what's that going to cost me?

George: 40:18

Yeah, what's that going to cost me, say 200 grand, excellent, here you go and then you fucking sign the contract. But that 200k and this is what I mean. People won't Imagine. Someone spent $200,000 with you. What would that do for their business? Context Robbie's in branding and digital marketing.

Robby: 40:41

Change everything. Change everything Within time. Yeah, not overnight, of course not.

Speaker 3: 40:47

Yeah.

George: 40:49

Six-pack doesn't happen overnight. It's the thing people are always looking for, the quick fix.

Robby: 40:59

Yeah, oh, and cells it's like okay, I see so I could go.

George: 41:01

Yeah, I, I could go. Right now I'm starting to get some good results at the gym. I've started to track my food and macros and like really watching what I eat. I could go and get liposuction right now and get my six pack. Why don't you? Because I, I, I just I feel it's cheating a little bit and I want to. I want to work hard for it, I want to earn it. I want to say no, I did. I did that, I was disciplined enough to do that and continue to do that.

Robby: 41:32

And then on the super yacht.

George: 41:33

Yeah, I also think Put the sunscreen away. It's not about the six pack, no, exactly, exactly right, it's not about that. Look, because I look man, I'm quite happy, not upset. But I want to say again me, when I'm on stage, when I'm even talking to my own team, how can I tell them to be high performers when I'm not a high performer? I can't take people who are overweight seriously. I'm sorry that might offend you, donald.

Speaker 3: 41:59

Trump.

George: 42:00

Look, the guy's older. I'm saying from a perspective if you are Donald Trump's a weapon. Yeah, the guy's a beast, seriously he's a beast.

Robby: 42:09

He is a person who has not been. They haven't been able to stop him from doing anything he's wanted to do. Yeah, from every aspect politics. He's a very successful businessman, Absolutely. He's a billionaire.

George: 42:23

He was a billionaire before he was in power. Very successful businessman, yeah.

Robby: 42:28

And he leaves money on the table by doing this politics thing.

George: 42:32

Oh, without a doubt he doesn't pull a salary.

Robby: 42:36

He's like this does not benefit me financially, Like this is not if my businesses get hurt when I'm being president, because I'm focused here, not there. Yeah exactly.

George: 42:51

But yeah, I can't take someone that's ridiculously overweight seriously on any, on any level. I don't give a fuck how many millions you have. It's like I said the other day you got we might have millions.

Robby: 43:00

You'll be dead next year, barry I feel the same way about people who smoke yeah, it's the same concept. Yeah, it's the exact same, you're sitting there punching darts like you're not thinking. You're not thinking. Yeah, it not?

George: 43:12

thinking yeah, it's the easy thing to do.

Robby: 43:14

Well, you haven't made the connection.

George: 43:15

Yeah, but it's the same with your health. Yeah, you haven't made the connection. You haven't made the connection that you can have a heart attack. Yeah you're killing yourself. Yeah, you haven't made the connection that when everyone's running down the street running away from fucking lions that have been let loose, you're first to go. Right, you're going to be the slowest the weakest and the fattest and the biggest meal, and the biggest meal.

George: 43:35

They're going to love it. So I can't take people seriously like that. So then how do I expect them to take me seriously if I'm unfit and unhealthy?

Robby: 43:42

So you doing all this caused you to lift your game On all aspects, yeah, On all aspects of my life.

George: 43:49

The working ad is just one aspect of it. It's not one thing that you do and you go yep cool, I'm going to be a high performer now.

Robby: 43:56

I don't know anything where there's one thing no, exactly right, it's a combination of things oh. I just want to run ads and I'm like dude. What's the ad need to do? What do we need to go? What platform?

George: 44:06

Yeah.

Robby: 44:13

Just one video. It just doesn't fucking work like that. I need the viral video, then we'll do it. Yeah, it takes 5,000 videos to get a viral video. Yeah, but there's no even dude health, like there's no even. But I know I've got a relative who used to weigh 185 kilos, used to Used to Good on him, I like that. So let me finish.

George: 44:35

Okay, I went and got surgery to get his. You know that thing where they cut out your stomach. Cut out your stomach.

Robby: 44:38

I don't know there's so many different ones. Anyway, he got this one where he can't eat whatever, even until now.

George: 44:43

Portions are smaller. Portions are way smaller. You can eat literally a handful of something. That's it, of something.

Robby: 44:49

Yes, that.

George: 44:50

Like a slice of pizza.

Robby: 44:50

Couldn't finish a slice of pizza, yeah.

George: 44:54

Sort of thing.

Robby: 44:55

It's just a calorie deficit, yeah and they just can't eat anymore and they end up losing a bunch of weight. Anyway, he went from 180 kilos 185 kilos. That's big. Yeah, it was probably just taller than me. Oh fuck, yeah, I could show you a photo.

George: 45:09

That's big man. Do you want a photo? Absolutely Now. I want to see it, but that 180 is a huge human being 180. This was a large specimen. Like I said the other day, I was on the plane. We're sitting business class and you know how the fold-out table that comes out from the side and it comes in front of you. Yeah, the guy next to me was so fucking fat he couldn't pull out Jesus.

George: 45:34

So that's before and after. He couldn't pull the tray out because they were bringing out food and shit. He couldn't pull the tray out to put the food on there.

Robby: 45:40

I remember you telling that story. Yeah, so that's before and after. I won't share the person's name, don't share the photo or anything. I won't at all. I won. I'll tell you the person's name, but 180 kilos to drop down to about 90.

George: 45:51

He looks a thousand times better.

Robby: 45:53

Yeah.

George: 45:53

A thousand times better.

Speaker 3: 45:55

Yeah, do you know what I mean.

George: 45:57

Maybe he needed that. Sometimes they need that circuit break. They can't do it themselves because they're so ingrained in their bad habits.

Robby: 46:05

What year is that?

George: 46:05

image it says 2019.

Robby: 46:09

Okay, Now it's 2024? Yeah, he's probably 130 2019. Okay, now it's 2024. Yeah, he's probably 130 kilos.

George: 46:14

Okay, so still not there, but the habits have come back.

Robby: 46:19

He was 90 in 2019. Yeah, so the habits have come back. So he's doing the wrong thing. He's doing the same things again Because he took the cheat code. Because he didn't understand what the things were that were going to the habit didn't change. The habit didn't understand what the things were that were going to the habit didn't change. The habit didn't change. Yeah. He didn't understand what the things were that were going to actually fix him yeah. Instead he just took the pill, took the shortcut, yeah, and then it's like that new drug.

George: 46:40

I'm going to just route back to what's that new drug? The diabetes one that everyone's taking for weight loss Ozempic. I was listening to this lady talking. Oh, it was a great podcast. Who was it? I think it was Chris Williamson and it was like I remember the lady's name. She was very smart, she was a biochemist and she was talking about glucose and sugar and what glucose does to you and your body and all that sort of stuff Starves. Yeah, was it that one? Oh, did you hear that episode? Listen to that one. Oh, did you hear that episode?

Robby: 47:10

Listen to that episode when she talks about how vegetables the difference between sugar and fruit sugar.

George: 47:15

Yeah, yeah, it was interesting, wasn't it Like?

Robby: 47:18

your body can't tell. I just saw a clip.

George: 47:19

Oh yeah, watch it, it's actually good Listen. Your body can't tell the difference between apple, like say, between the sugar in an orange.

Robby: 47:26

Yeah.

George: 47:27

And the sugar in chocolate cake. It's the exact same thing. I completely believe that, too, she goes. The worst thing you can do to yourself and to even your kids, the worst thing you can give your kids, are issues. It's sugar. You are extracting the sugar and you are drinking the sugar.

Speaker 3: 47:47

Your body cannot tell the difference. Yeah, so I studied in food product engineering and the basic is sugar is just sucrose, that's right. And fruits are fructose. Yeah, and the basic is still glucose, that's right.

George: 48:03

get the molecule that's exactly what she was saying.

Speaker 3: 48:06

That's exactly what she said and when you said orange juice, the problem is that it comes back to what your brain receives. Yeah, so when you chew, the brain receives its hard food. Yeah, so it will try to digest it better. Whereas you drink it, there will be no saliva which helps break down glucose. It has a thing called alpha amylase. So you don't take that when you're drinking juice and it's like the worst way. You can have fruits.

George: 48:38

Yeah, eating fruits is okay, but drinking is like the worst fiber in them. You've got other aspects of it there, but exactly that. She said exactly what you were talking about.

Robby: 48:47

Very interesting and so I actually saw that clip, yeah, and then I saw someone react to it.

Speaker 3: 48:52

Oh did you, she's wrong.

Robby: 48:53

Yeah, yeah.

George: 48:55

I don't. I don't Apparently wrong. You've got someone that's started, that's a biochemist, studied this and done clinical trials and studies and everything Like. How do you argue against that? What's this other person done that said it was wrong. He's a.

Robby: 49:14

So he's a? Um gary brecker or something. No, but that that's a that would be a very good yeah, like gary brecker's pretty.

George: 49:17

Yeah, potentially, but he's not. I don't know if he's done the level of research like study that she's done I've got. I'm big on questioning but I'm also big on fact and science yeah, but so, if you so, so doctors, doctors but doctors are trying to talk to doctors. Yeah, yeah, who you know? We should get a doctor on do really cool stuff. I'm gonna make this doctor. I'm gonna ask him come on, ask him.

Robby: 49:46

But with all due respect to doctors, most of them don't know what's going on.

George: 49:50

Yeah, they're, they're book smart they. This is what the book told me is wrong with you. This is what's wrong with you.

Robby: 49:55

You need to take these pills.

George: 49:56

And it's like no I don't. Yeah, you could I know so many naturopaths.

Robby: 50:00

I keep telling my doctors give me my blood test. I have a close friend.

George: 50:03

I'll teach you something. I know someone issues with um, with their gut. Doctors were going, they she went to, they went to specialist everything. No one could figure out what was wrong with them no one. And they kept giving them antibiotics, everything. They went and saw an atropath, sold it in three months very good gone, completely gone, yeah I think doctors are not.

Robby: 50:27

But then that's why I question the whole, like when someone like that pops up and she could be right, I don't know, yeah, I'm not educated. Yeah, that's why I question the whole, like when someone like that pops up and she could be right. I've got no idea. I'm not educated. Yeah, that's right, but I definitely, like I don't even know the other guy who argued that she was wrong. Yeah, he could be wrong. Yeah, I've got no idea.

George: 50:42

Who was, and I think she was saying that she was copying a lot of hate from people about that, about her views and topics and view on that topic. Um, what we're talking about just leading into that as well.

Robby: 50:52

Weight taking, the shortcut, the magic pill yeah, that's right.

George: 50:55

Oh, the um diabetic one, the drug that people take, yeah, ozempic. So she was saying and it makes complete sense she goes ozempic. Yes, it gets rid, it does help you drop weight, but it actually targets your muscle mass as well. So people are taking it and they're losing weight, they're losing muscle. They're losing muscle and they're losing fat. They're losing both, but they're losing muscle. So the people that are taking it are not working out, so they're losing their muscle mass. And then, when they stop taking it, they just eat their normal foods and they end up putting on, if not all, and then some weight back on after, because they're taking that shortcut and they're not doing it properly. They're not building that muscle mass. They're not because that's how you're burning the energy. It's like when you build, the bigger your muscles, the more energy you can burn that's correct.

Robby: 51:49

yeah, as yeah, as far as I know.

George: 51:50

Yeah like I'm no scientist, I'm no biologist, I'm nothing, whatever it is. But again, it makes sense to me when you break it down like that. So you need to build that muscle. How do you build the muscle? You got to do the reps. It's going to be hard, it's not going to be easy. Today I was at the gym at 6.15. All right, it's a public holiday today. Guys, I was at the gym at 6.15 am. Was there people? Normally the gym is a lot fuller than what it was. There was 20% of the gym.

Robby: 52:23

Oh, what Than normal.

George: 52:26

Than what would normally be in that time One-fifth of the gym.

Robby: 52:28

Oh wow, I went to the gym this morning too. It was packed. Oh really, yeah. What time did you go? I couldn't believe it was seven.

George: 52:33

Okay, I went at 6.15. Maybe the 45 minutes made a difference. I don't know, we don't go to the same gyms, I know. I'm just saying, but maybe that 45 minutes made a difference, potentially, but much fuller, I also never go at 7am, yeah, so you don't have a comparative.

Robby: 52:52

Yeah, but it was busy, I was like wow, I'm surprised how many people are here.

George: 52:55

Yeah, well, yeah, it could be that too, but it's also coming into some nice weather. Maybe people will go fuck, I better work on the summer body now. I'll work on it three months before. But my point is how many people are sleeping in today? How many people are sleeping here today? It's public holiday, exactly. You deserve it. Yeah, you deserve this day off. You know what I mean. Just relax hard. It's been hard and that's why a lot of people keep getting the same results. They keep doing everything that everyone else is doing. That's why there's so many people overweight. I see it more now.

George: 53:36

I dropped the wife and kids off at the airport the other day and I went all the way into the check-in. I went in with them. I wasn't going with them. They're going on a holiday for a few days and they were flying up with Jetstar. Normally I don't fly Jetstar, but it was the only flight that I could find to get them there. And Jetstar go through and weigh all the bags. If you have more than seven kilos, they're literally there. They go up to you. Put your bag on the scale, put your bag on the scale, put your bag on the scale and they're weighing everyone's bag.

George: 54:07

I got done like that once For two kilos. Yeah, we had check-in baggage. It cost me 70 bucks, are you serious? Yeah, for two kilos. I actually bought. I had a check-in bag, so it was all right. My wife had. I told her. I said I bought you check-in baggage too, so don't fuck around, just put it on there, because I know what they're like Anyway. So they're going around measuring everyone's weight and I don't know again. I just pick this up now, more now than ever before, because I'm training, I'm eating well, I'm in better shape than I've been, and I look at people and I judge and I go you're weighing this bag, all right, are you going to weigh that person? They're fucking 15 kilos heavier than everyone else here.

Robby: 54:48

You know what's funny? I caught a plane in Fiji once to another island, dude, and they weigh the person with the bag and then.

George: 54:56

But then why are you? Why is that you?

Robby: 54:59

saying that's a good thing, dude. They actually say like put your bag on your back, yeah, and now jump on the scale. You're like do you want me to jump on the scale?

George: 55:04

do you want me to take my shoes off, stuff on you're like, okay, you're gonna, so why do they charge you more equality?

Robby: 55:13

yeah, I think it was a small plane oh, was it?

George: 55:16

that makes sense, because they might need to position you in, but also they might need a you might.

Robby: 55:20

So this heavy person, and this heavy person have to be on opposite sides. There wasn't even 20 people on the plane yeah, okay, like a tiny plane yeah, that might make.

George: 55:28

That makes a bit more sense. Yeah, because if you're 180 kilos like your mate, that might say, huh, like your mate. But if you're a 180 kilo human being, and maybe that means, well, really you're the size of two people, aren't you? Yeah, you know what I mean. You couldn't fit 20 180 kilo people on that plane. You could fit 10, but not 180. The plane won't get off the ground.

Robby: 55:55

How much would your life change going from 180 to 90? Heaps, man, heaps, you could roll around. Heaps, you've probably never rolled around before.

George: 56:04

What do you mean? Oh, like roll around. You could do anything, dude. That's what I mean. It's surprising he's put the weight back on. He saw how good it was. Do you know what I mean? Are you good friends with him? I'm trying to think of how I answer that Like would you be comfortable enough to say, oh dude, what the fuck are you doing with your life? Oh, I always say that to him, yeah, so what's he say to that?

George: 56:30

Hey just for context, good friend Me. So what's he say about it? Hey, just for context, good friend Me, fucking oath. Yeah, I don't fucking know, yeah, but if you didn't care, you wouldn't say anything. Oi. Yeah, just say fuck your tongue. Do you want Krispy Kremes?

Robby: 56:41

Yeah, I did that to you last week, two weeks ago. Yeah, I know. Yeah, I just tell him what the fuck are you doing. Yeah, I'd just tell them what the fuck are you doing. Yeah, but that's people get upset at me for that too, though. What the fuck should I do? Dude, I'm the guy to tell you, like, do you know what I?

George: 57:00

mean, you tell her too. Sometimes you send me messages. Oi, you fucking. Where are my videos?

Robby: 57:04

Yeah, hey, fuck up. Do you know what?

George: 57:07

I mean You're right. Did you like the video I sent you the other day? I haven't even looked at it. Bust my balls for a video, doesn't even look at it. Yesterday Was it yesterday? Yeah, I said it yesterday. Cool, no, it was good. I thought it was quirky. I'm sure I'll think the same.

Robby: 57:26

But, yeah, I think you need to tell people when they're in that position and I think there is no quick fix. Like you said, it took 10 years to have that. Yeah, it took, but hey, people will just see it as you know. Oh, yeah, what did? What did George do? How did he? Yeah? How lucky yeah and he must have done something right.

George: 57:53

I think Jimmy Carr said it people, people hang on, hang on. I know you know exactly what I'm going to say they want to have what I have yeah, people are jealous of the things that you have, but they're not jealous of what it took to get them yeah, yeah, and.

Robby: 58:09

And Cristiano Ronaldo says the same thing. He's like everyone wants to be. They're not jealous of what it took to get them. Yeah, yeah. And Cristiano Ronaldo says the same thing. He's like everyone wants to be Ronaldo. He's like I'll give you the blueprint. Are you going to do it? He's like you won't do it. Yeah, like it's very hard.

George: 58:21

Yeah, and he's right. All right, you step by step what you need to do.

Robby: 58:28

He's like are people going to be willing to do that? He goes do you think I want to train every day? He's like I don't want to train every day.

George: 58:34

He's one of the fittest and best physically fit people. He's elite Exactly In every aspect of life.

Robby: 58:40

He's elite, that's right, he's elite.

George: 58:42

He's the definition of.

Robby: 58:43

Yeah, elite in every way dude, fit, healthy, pushes himself, smart himself, smart reads, business, money, life, family. You know what I mean? Yep, he's um elite, but yeah, it takes um. Takes 10 years to have that one year and not always 39 years old is he?

George: 59:04

yes, but not always, it can happen sooner yeah, the point the point is what the point is of that 10 and one is it's just it does take time and you need consistency. You need the experience. There's no compression algorithm for experience. You have to go and do the reps, you have to do the reps. You can fast track it by getting advice and mentors and connecting with the right people Absolutely and investing in systems and procedures and all that sort of stuff. Staff, employees.

Robby: 59:37

So if I want to manifest something in my life okay or if I want to attract something into it, how do I do it?

George: 59:44

I mean, you can go down the path of what some people do and actually stand in front of the mirror. I am this, I am, I am, I am, I have, I have, I have, I do, I do, I do. You can do it like that because it's a way of talking to your subconscious at the end of the day, isn't it? And I think that's important. Like, your self-talk is massive, self-talk is huge. Like, if you knew how powerful your thoughts were, you'd never think a negative thought for the rest of your life. It controls everything, so you can do it that way.

Speaker 3: 1:00:17

I have a manifestation notebook.

George: 1:00:20

Yeah, how does that?

Speaker 3: 1:00:20

work. So I just only write things that have to manifest in a year and I just close that notebook and after a year I look back at it. Most of it has happened and I write the new ones. Yeah, good.

George: 1:00:38

The way with doing your daily manifestations is the context of actually changing your subconscious. When you keep saying it to yourself over and over and over again, eventually you believe it Like it just becomes second nature, and then all your actions that follow thereafter transpond into that, give you those opportunities. You might think, oh, this opportunity just landed in my arms and that's why I'm going to do this. And you know, if this deal that I'm thinking and proposing comes through, I guarantee you there'll be people that go like it must be nice, george, that was easy. How did you land that? Fucking you? Just right place, right time. Is it Right place, right time?

Speaker 3: 1:01:17

is it?

Robby: 1:01:19

right place, right time. I was watching. Do you think luck plays a part?

George: 1:01:28

yeah, good question. My dad always says the the harder I work, the luckier I get that statement.

Robby: 1:01:35

I've heard someone else say that the harder I work, the luckier I get. That statement. I've heard someone else say that, I can't remember who, but that statement does that imply? How do you perceive that statement? Does that imply that, oh, it's the harder I work, the luckier I get? As in it's not luck, or as in?

George: 1:01:57

do you know what I mean? Yeah, I know what you mean. It's like I could work hard as a labourer for the rest of my life. Do you know what I mean? What opportunities you still need to do things and put yourself in positions that are going to create the opportunities. Yes, Luck Look there's no, I think it's a combination. Luck would be a combination where preparation meets opportunity.

Speaker 3: 1:02:28

The definition of luck is success or failure apparently brought by chance rather than through one's own action. That's right.

George: 1:02:37

It's saying it's not.

Robby: 1:02:38

So not saying it's all luck, which I wouldn't think is correct. There might be one person who gets lucky.

George: 1:02:46

Yeah, like winning the lottery is a lucky thing.

Robby: 1:02:50

You know what I mean. You could argue that, of that whole situation, they made the choice to buy the ticket. They made the choice to buy the ticket. They made the choice to buy the ticket.

George: 1:02:58

That's right.

Robby: 1:02:58

There's some level of influence. So, nothing is 100% luck. Yeah, that's right, but do you think luck plays a part?

Speaker 3: 1:03:09

I don't know.

Robby: 1:03:13

That's so funny. What do you mean?

Speaker 3: 1:03:14

you don't know, I don't know, I don't think you always have an answer to everything.

George: 1:03:18

Come on, man.

Robby: 1:03:19

I just said it before.

George: 1:03:23

That was the first time ever Podcast over. Thanks guys, have a great day. He's like I don't know I don't know.

Robby: 1:03:28

I'm done. I'll tell you why I asked. I was watching a podcast, Mark Cuban on it, Yep, and so Mark Cuban. For those of you who don't know, he is a billionaire from here, owns the Dallas Mavericks and used to be on Shark Tank Was he on Tech before.

George: 1:03:51

Who? Mark Cuban? Did he have some tech company? What was his company? What blew him up?

Robby: 1:03:57

They were the first people to stream on the internet.

George: 1:03:59

Oh, okay, yeah, yeah, and you were something there. Yeah, yeah.

Robby: 1:04:02

So they they were the first to ever stream on the internet and they found a way to say I get radio stations. This is like in the nineties. Yeah, found a way to to like plug onto a website and they'd be like hey, if you go on this website on your computer, you can listen to this radio station. And then they did it with video and TV and blah, blah, blah and sold out to Yahoo for billions sort of.

George: 1:04:27

Yahoo's still around though really yeah, might Yahoo something later that thing was Yahoo Finance.

Robby: 1:04:33

The gold thing, by the way. Four kilos of gold about 500k.

George: 1:04:38

So would you pay 50k for my bag if it had four kilos of gold in it?

Speaker 3: 1:04:41

I think about a trivia. I don't know how much do you think? Four kilograms of gold costs 500k what's wrong with you?

Robby: 1:04:51

what?

Speaker 3: 1:04:52

planet are you living on 550 000?

Robby: 1:04:55

yeah, that's what we just said. You know this thing, we literally, literally just said it. I can understand.

George: 1:05:02

I can understand cut this out of the pod. Yeah, that's right team, we don't want to embarrass you. Actually, fuck the guy. He's going to Mongolia, he's leaving us take that leaving us, we're gonna we're gonna discredit your name.

Speaker 3: 1:05:13

How many gold bars do you think will fit in that bag, and how much would it cost?

George: 1:05:19

I say four kilos, I'm thinking a kilo bar, so you could fit six gold bars, which would come to around $10 million Australian dollars.

George: 1:05:36

So would you pay 50 grand for my bag? Now, that's my question. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. The people that are thinking, no, they look at the object for what it is, like everyone else does, they won't pay the 50K for the bag. They go no way. I'm going to pay that because they see a bag, but someone that's looking differently for opportunities, for things that could happen oh, what's in the bag? That's what you're going to ask. It's just one question what's in the bag? Because I would have told you, if you said what's in the bag, I'd say, of course, six bars, bars, bars.

Robby: 1:06:09

Mark Cuban. He was talking about how he blew up and he attributes luck to the situation. Because he's like yes, okay, we were the first people to stream, but, like, all we did was streaming. Yes, we just hit it at the right time with the dot-com boom and everything. He's like if you make a streaming company now, he's like you're doing the exact same thing, but you're not going to sell out for what we sold out for because it's more accessible now. He's like we were just the timing was right, which contributes to luck. He's like success you can have success without any luck, he's like. But to hit a B like a billion, he's like you need to have a bit of luck and I just thought fair call, yeah, you know what I mean. And, yes, I do agree, you need to put yourself in positions to get lucky.

George: 1:06:59

Yeah, but if you're just sitting there depending on your luck, yeah, I mean he's saying I did it at the right time, but man, you still did it yeah.

Robby: 1:07:08

You still did it and he would have done anything else. You know what I mean. But he attributes, he says yeah, like the stars lined up, Like we were the first ones. It was taking off in the world. The dot-com boom happened.

George: 1:07:25

You know, yahoo was buying every tech company. Arguably, we could say one of our podcast episodes goes viral, yeah Right. And then that's what attributes to us making millions from this podcast.

Robby: 1:07:38

Yeah you go oh well, that was lucky. No, no, no, no. So I think you're looking at it wrong. He thinks luck plays a role. He doesn't think it's luck.

George: 1:07:48

Yeah, okay, maybe it's the right Okay so our clip goes viral and Rogan sees it and invites us on his show. Yeah, because it went viral. There's a. Is that a contributing factor to luck that we filmed on this day? Yeah, this exact episode at this time. And then you actually posted it on this date because you know this is pre-recorded and there's generally a few weeks before we actually post the podcast. So on that day it goes viral. I could have posted it the day before, could have posted it the week before or the week after. Maybe you forgot, maybe you're sleeping. Didn't post the episode. It goes viral. Rogan sees it, loves what we're talking about, says boys, I'm gonna fly you out to vegas. We're gonna talk shit for three hours. We're gonna go to the ufc. I going to fucking watch John Jones and Steepik Steepik, steepik, steepik, steepik.

Robby: 1:08:45

G'day.

George: 1:08:48

Is that the iPhone 16 plus?

Speaker 3: 1:08:50

That's the iPhone 16.

George: 1:08:51

Yeah, On your iPhone. On the new iPhone, if you go onto Apple Podcasts or Spotify, there's the new iPhone. Can you subscribe to this channel on the new iPhones? I?

Robby: 1:09:06

think you can you can yeah.

George: 1:09:08

Okay, I don't think you can do it on previous models though.

Robby: 1:09:11

Why iPhones.

George: 1:09:12

I just don't know. I just think you need to buy a new iPhone to be able to subscribe. Maybe someone could prove me wrong. If I just don't know, I just think you need to buy a new iPhone to be able to subscribe. Maybe someone could prove me wrong. If you have an older generation iPhone, or if you haven't made it in life yet and you have, like, a Samsung or a Google phone or something like that and you're fucking around, maybe you can let us know if you subscribe to the channel. You can just let us know if it works.

Robby: 1:09:34

I'm just curious.

George: 1:09:34

Yeah, I'm just curious more than anything. You can just let us know if it works. I'm just curious, yeah, I'm just curious, more than anything. Just tag us, yeah, just say hey. Yeah, guys, just letting you know you can subscribe on Google phones.

Robby: 1:09:42

Okay, going back to what you're saying, though, the post. Brogan sees it flies us out. We see Jon Jones bash Stipe yeah.

George: 1:09:49

And Dana White sees us, she says hey, always listen, krogan, that was sick Come past, go watch, slap Face.

George: 1:09:57

That's full on, man. Have you seen that Slap Challenge? I don't know how that's legal, what's it called? Whatever it is the people slapping each other in the face that's fucking cool. How is that not causing permanent brain damage to blokes? Have you seen it? Have you seen it in slow motion? That shit, I can't watch it. Man. Yes, you can, I can, I can and I do, I can and I do. Of course you can watch it, I can and I do. But have you seen it in slow motion?

Robby: 1:10:19

Apparently, people cannot watch it. So apparently, as soon as you see a clip and you know someone's going to use a slab, most people watch it. Yeah, like most people finish the clip. They reckon it's getting more streams than everything else combined Back to that See, I say that whole situation.

George: 1:10:42

There is an attribution of luck. Yes, because could you replicate it? You did Most of Robin's videos go viral now, don't they?

Robby: 1:10:48

But that's not so define viral, because for him to get a million or two million or eight, million or whatever views that's his normal thing. Do you know what I mean? If we had viral is relative. Yeah, if we got a thousand comments on this video, we would say this went off its chain. Yeah, we'd lose our mind. He gets a thousand comments on every video, yeah.

George: 1:11:12

Yeah, I'm not saying luck doesn't exist. Yes, but I'm saying without the opportunity and the preparation, there's no opportunity for luck to become present, but you can also do all the right things and not hit yeah. But you could also do nothing and it 100% won't hit. Yeah, do you know what I mean? So there's no. The luck has to be created to a degree, doesn't it? Because if we do a podcast or we'd film this, instead of doing it once a week, we did it once a year.

Robby: 1:11:43

Yeah, but the luck does have to be created, but it still has to.

George: 1:11:46

Yeah, okay, I can attribute to it.

Robby: 1:11:49

I'm not relinquishing responsibility, yeah, yeah, I'm saying that to get to a certain point, it does like you might be able to like, for example, a mark cuban might be able to build an eight-figure company yeah, yeah, yeah, every single time that's. We can replicate this without luck. We can replicate it over and, over and over.

George: 1:12:15

We know there's a yeah for us, whereas us we'd be here like fuck, how lucky yeah, but to make a 10 billion dollar company yeah maybe.

Robby: 1:12:23

Then they're like okay, we need some things to fall our way as well, yeah, I think so for sure, I think so, I think so yeah, it's an interesting um topic luck, because it's almost like you don't want to attribute it to luck as well, because you're like oh, fuck you, I did this.

George: 1:12:40

Yeah, you know what I mean. Yeah exactly.

Robby: 1:12:43

But also, you know, doing, doing the do doesn't guarantee you're going to get what you want. Yes, but not doing it guarantees you won't.

George: 1:12:57

Bang on, bang on, bang on 100%. I think that's a great way to finish off today's episode, mate anything else you'd like to share before.

Robby: 1:13:07

Before the people subscribe before.

George: 1:13:09

Iggy jumps in and fucking says something ridiculous before the end of the and just ruins our mojo before the end of the fucking episode just takes away from everything.

Robby: 1:13:17

yeah, I will say one thing actually you know that's our mojo before the end of the fucking episode, just takes away from everything.

George: 1:13:20

Yeah, I will say one thing. Actually, you know, last episode was year one. This is year two, episode one. We've managed to talk about 52 or 53 now different topics every single week. I don't think we've really covered over a topic more than once, maybe. I think we spoke about brand a couple of times maybe.

Robby: 1:13:41

We probably talked a little bit about social.

George: 1:13:43

I think we've touched on things throughout each episode like that you would go yep, we'll touch back to this, We'll touch back to that, Cause a lot of it is all relevant. However, I think we've. I've been surprised that we've been able to talk about 52 different things and it hasn't been like oh, let me google something to talk about today, should we? Google something, maybe for the next episode, should we?

Robby: 1:14:04

you know what, george? I heard this saying, and we'll wrap up with this people don't need to learn new things, they just need to be reminded and gary v's massive on that too.

George: 1:14:15

You know he always says people like gary, you keep saying the same thing. He's like yeah, dick, you keep saying the same thing. He's like yeah, dick.

Robby: 1:14:21

Yeah, because it's right. Yeah, what do you want me to do? Start making shit up. People don't necessarily need to learn new stuff. Sometimes they just need to be reminded of what they already know.

George: 1:14:29

Yeah, and I think you know, and you might notice over the coming years, that we do touch on things that we've touched on previously. And here's the thing, though the retouch will be better. Yeah, for two reasons. One we're better. Yeah, yeah, how much better are we like? Do you remember episode one? I remember thinking with the we are so shit, it'd be nice. Yeah, no, I remember like hold on.

Robby: 1:14:56

So what you think you were going to be good at this from day one. Absolutely. You think it's. Yeah, I thought I was going to be fucking gun. Yeah, but it would be. You could roll on as a gun, but if you're not better in 52 episodes, what the fuck are you doing?

George: 1:15:09

Yeah, yeah, exactly as a gun and I don't think we were bad people listened right do you cop shit from your family or friends or anyone when they see you online all the time? Do I cop shit? Yeah, every time. Like my brother-in-law. The other day, we were at home and you want to get on the podcast, we're at home.

Robby: 1:15:31

I was at his house for a barbecue and sorry guys for context, those listening my dog's here- I was just thinking that I was like listeners are going to have no idea what the fuck his dog is.

George: 1:15:41

They're just going to have heard me laugh, oh yeah, so Zadie says that he pulls open his phone, gets on Instagram and bang. Straight away is a video of us on the podcast. Starts laughing he goes, fuck, he goes. Can't go anywhere without seeing your face.

Robby: 1:15:55

You're lucky. I think that's the game, that's it. People notice, that's it. You know people are noticing. And do I cop shit from anyone?

George: 1:16:06

Not from a negative way just.

Robby: 1:16:08

No, yeah, like, as in like a banter type of way. Yeah, yeah, oh, but I'm sure there are people like that too.

George: 1:16:16
