Sometimes, life throws us unexpected waves—literally. In this episode, George recounts his recent jet ski accident, reflecting on the injuries, the recovery process, and the surprising gratitude that comes from painful experiences. We discuss the importance of pushing through discomfort, how our mindset shifts when we’re self-employed versus working for someone else, and why our ability to adapt is key to long-term success.

Fear is a formidable adversary, but it shouldn't dictate our lives. Through personal stories and the iconic "Miracle on the Hudson," we explore how trauma can often lead to irrational decisions and how one brave passenger chose to fly again despite his fears. This conversation expands into the realm of sports, where we question the fairness surrounding athlete retirements due to injury and discuss the controversial personas of tennis stars like Novak Djokovic and Nick Kyrgios. By examining their journeys, we unravel the broader implications of sportsmanship, wealth, and happiness.

If you've ever found yourself feeling uninspired despite having everything you once wanted, this episode is for you. We break down actionable strategies to reset your mindset, sustain motivation, and find renewed appreciation for what you already have.

Robby:

Did you know that podcast is actually an abbreviated term? No, I didn't, and it actually stands for iPod Broadcast. Ipod Broadcast yes, I did not know that. I didn't know that either.

George:

I learned that recently and I said- we're going to let everyone else know about that.

Robby:

And that's why we're here doing this iPod Broadcast.

George:

I fell off my jet ski on the weekend last weekend. Have we not had a podcast since then? We haven't. Oh well, so actually okay. So a bit of context for everyone is out enjoying the nice weather and it was a little bit choppy been bringing it? Yeah, it has been, and it was a little bit choppy. And just mind you, first time in 20 years I've fallen off. And when I say fallen off, fallen off and hurt myself.

Robby:

Have you had a podcast for 20 years? Have you had a jet ski for 20 years? As in, I've been riding them for that period of time on and off.

George:

My first one. I was like 23, 22, somewhere there 18 years, shit Technicality. So the first time I came off and actually hurt myself though, because I've fallen off a couple of times, but always just in the water. Back on, cool, let's go. So a rogue wave came out of nowhere, lost control of the ski and as I fell off I hit the jet ski before I hit the water. Now I reckon I've hit the ski at about 40 to 50 K.

George:

Now I showed you, when I came in the next day, massive bruise on my leg Like I'm talking the size of a bowling ball. It was purple, like it was all fucked up, fractured, a couple of toes as well. It's a bit of fun. I'm walking with a limp and no, I'm actually okay. It's a week later and I feel fine, like it hurts to touch, but it's not hindering me from doing whatever I want to do. I literally went. Just for context, I went to gym on Wednesday. So I did it on Sunday, was at the gym on Wednesday, didn't do any lower body, but still working out, still worked everything. The next day I was really sore, still rocked up to work, something I actually thought about. Funny enough, it's like if I was working for someone, I probably would have taken the day off, you know, out of sickie, yeah, I guess. So I probably would have taken a couple of days off. Hey, I fell off my jet ski. I've hurt myself. I need a couple of days sick leave.

Robby:

It's like a green light right yeah. This is what sick leave is for. That's right. Give myself permission. I'm not going to get paid out this when I need it. Yeah, that's right.

George:

You know what I was like nah, fuck that, I'm going to work, I've got shit to do. Dude, I was that%. You know what I mean? Felt 85 or 90%. Oh, a bit crook, I might take the day off.

Robby:

Hey, how good is that? Do you recall the feeling of waking up and sitting there like, oh, I'm going to call in sick, and making the call and then, once they're like, oh cool, I'll see you tomorrow, and then you're like you'll hang, and you're like, yeah, and then you go back to sleep.

George:

I used to have a boss that would just tear you to shreds. If you took a day off, though, yeah, like working at Multiflex, you don't have a solid excuse. Yeah, well, that's it. Yeah, got a headache, gastro, gastro. That one would come in good to everyone. Yeah, I'm doing this for you. Three days, three to four days, I was definitely limping and walking a bit slower, and I was like how many times before that moment did I look back at my life and go fuck, how good is it to be walking without any pain?

Robby:

Why would you the law of familiarity right Like it's what we know, what we're used to?

George:

Of course my water's clean. That's right. You don't think about it until it's dirty and you can't get clean water anywhere. How good were those days back in the day. Of course I drink filtered water. Yeah, exactly. So it's even good from a perspective as re-grounding myself and go you know what I am practicing a bit of gratitude from the perspective of what other things in my life do I take for granted? Because we do inherently take things for granted. It's not it's human nature. Exactly, it's human nature.

Robby:

So I don't think it's like this is not going to kill me anymore. I'm not going to focus on that. What else is dangerous?

George:

Yeah.

George:

So I did I was like cool man, I can't wait. I'm so grateful for the fact that I can walk still, yeah, go. And here's another thing I noticed as I got injured. So there's three things I picked up A what an injury, yeah, what an injury. How great is that when you're learning from something like that, you know. The first thing was, oh, if I was working for someone, I would have taken the day off, you know, and probably so would have my employees. But I came to work. I'm like, oh well, my leg's hurting. It wasn't hurting. And the third thing was, which I think is the most interesting.

George:

I've been training, as many of you know, for the last 12 months. I genuinely reckon that had I not been training for the last 12 months and training legs quite hard and built that muscle mass, I reckon I would have broken my leg. That's massive, it's a big call. It's a big call. But I think I hit myself hard enough that it would have caused some decent damage, like on my leg. I reckon I would have fractured, at the very least fractured, maybe not broken. I would have fractured a bone in my body. But because I've been training so hard, that's a big bone, yeah, and it's also a big muscle too, but I still feel like it was literally on my side. So imagine, you know, just below the hip, that's where I hit it on the leg. But you know, despite how much it hurt at the time or hurt thereafter, I genuinely believe the fact that I've been building muscle mass over the last 12 months is the reason why I didn't do serious damage and why I reckon I've continued and healed so quickly too.

Robby:

How did you say you come off. You went straight into, like you hit the thing and went into the water. Yeah, so I hit the ski and then hit the water.

George:

You went straight into it.

Robby:

Like you hit the thing and went into the water. Yeah, so I hit the ski and then hit the water.

George:

It's a bit hard to explain, but pretty much the ski went out from under me. I fell off the side and as I fell into the water, before I hit the water, I hit the ski and then went into the water, went into the water and like, instantly, like you brace and hold your breath. You're like because you know it's coming.

Robby:

And then went in.

George:

Yeah, I was, yeah, absolutely, I was at least 250 meters from shore. I think it was like seven, eight meters, yeah, as in out. Yeah, I don't know how deep it was. I was from shore. Wait, you didn't touch the ground. No, no, no, no, no, it was definitely not that shallow, but, yeah, hit the water.

George:

And then the ski went about 20 meters away. So when I got up I was like okay, I got to check my leg. Am I broken? Is everything there? Did you panic? No, it was actually pretty cool. Like I was logical.

George:

No, like sharks, oh, no, I didn't even think. That, didn't even come to mind, not even at all, not even now that you said it. Like, not once has it entered my mind about sharks. But I got in the way down to the bottom. Cool, everything's there fingers, toes. You're right, I'll move it. Yeah, okay. And then I kicked and I was like, okay, I can move. So then I was in pain. But then I've swam over to the ski, got back on and there was a couple of guys that were on skis as well that saw me and they came over and said, oh, you're right, so we as well. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Like they look out for each other and I would do the same. There's also plenty of dickheads as well, especially on skis.

George:

Yeah, yeah, that particular day there was, and it's a shame because it ruins it for everyone that does the right thing, and all that it's going to mean is eventually they're just going to reduce the amount of boating zones there are in those bays. Yeah, you can't get out. Yeah, yeah, that's right, they're just going to reduce and go, cool all the boats and jet skis and now down the far end of Port Melbourne, you can't come in this area anymore and it's going to happen. And I understand why because literally that day there was probably six or seven skis where we were in Albert Park and there was at least three of them just Like within the five knot zone from shore to about 100 meters out. They're just hammering it and doing donuts and like there's people around, there's kids around, just go out. It's less than a minute before you go past the boys and you can go whatever speed you want and do whatever you want, but they do it within that zone.

George:

But also, in the same token, it's like you know the cops, like if I was a copper before I was on patrol, like I would just park myself there all day. It's going to. You're going to catch at least at least the guys doing the wrong thing. There's what's the rule? Is it 50 meters? It's? It depends with the zones, like with the area. Yeah, but some are further out than others. It's about 200 meters from shore.

George:

Yeah, is the general rule, it's five knots.

Robby:

Yeah, they should, because it's dangerous dude, like you're in the water and just your head's out and someone doesn't see you. Like that will damage you.

George:

Here's another great lesson I've learned. It was just a great reminder to go. You know what? This is a machine that I could really hurt myself on, because people have hurt themselves real bad, oh dude, yeah, like broken ribs, broken heads, lost teeth, yeah, mashed straight into the water. That's right. I haven't had anything for one year. It just takes one time though, that one time that you really hurt yourself and that for me. I'm glad it happened to me and you got to walk away. Yeah, I got to walk away. I still walked away, still walked away, still walked away. Yeah, so that was another good thing to go. You know, reminder, these are dangerous machines. They can be dangerous machines, but so can a car, so is a car, so is a motorbike. They're all dangerous machines and it's good to get that, to have that healthy respect there for them?

Robby:

Yeah, I agree. So here's the thing, though. Right, we've spoken about this before about? Remember? I shared the story about my car not starting, and then I was so pumped that my car started. I don't get zero excitement that my car starts Again. Yeah, zero excitement. Well, now you've got a brand new one. If anything, now I start it when I'm in my apartment, and if I go downstairs and it's not on, I'm angry. You know what I mean? Why is this not working? What is this? My seat is not warm. Yeah, what's going on? It's not shaking. What is happening? Bam. So what do you even do to remind yourself? How do you continue on this same level of gratitude over and over? Does that make sense?

George:

Yeah, without a doubt it does, but it's got to be a habit. It's got to become a habit where you've got to practice that. It's all it is because again just need to remind yourself yeah, so hard. The other thing I'm really grateful for is like 90 of the time my son's on with me not 90, but whenever I'm out, like, he's generally on with me too, so I'm so glad it happened without him on it. Yeah, that could have been.

Robby:

That could have been bad as well I I'm gonna make an assumption here, but I feel like you probably ride differently my son's.

George:

yeah, you made the right assumption, so it is, you're completely right and chances are I probably wouldn't have put myself, I wouldn't have been going as fast, to put it that way.

Robby:

That's what I'm saying. Yeah, if you wouldn't with him on board, you'd just be a little bit more cautious, I'd assume.

George:

Yeah, without a doubt.

Robby:

You'd probably like him is happening um, yeah, so.

George:

So what are you gonna do? Just keep reminding yourself? Well, yeah, I suppose the next time I get on it, there'll be a healthy reminder there, and I think for every other time that I get on it thereafter they'll be like oh, yeah, dude, I'm telling you it will fade.

Robby:

I used to do the same thing. I used to. So I used to have a uh, ducati 848. And have you ever ridden road bikes? Yeah, I have. So when you first start riding, you're nervous and everything, and then you get used to it and you get cockier and cockier and cockier and then you come into a corner too hot, and then you just make the corner and your heart's racing and then you turn into like a bitch again and all of a sudden you're not willing to do what you were willing to do before and you pull back. But then the confidence builds up again and again and then you start to do the same thing and then you'd have a close call again yeah generally and I found there was no, I couldn't stop myself from getting cocky again.

Robby:

Do you know what I mean? I would always just you know I can do this like no, no, I've got control, okay, and you don't. You know what I mean, but I would always sell it. You know I can do this Like no, no, no, I've got control, okay, and you don't you know what I mean, but I would always sell it to myself that I did yeah. So, yes, I think it's easier said than done. Yeah, without a doubt. Without a doubt, easier said than done.

George:

I think it'll take a while, though. For myself at least, yeah, Because, as I said, it hadn't happened in 20-odd years that I've been riding them and now it's.

Robby:

it was the one time that it's actually come off. It just happened. You haven't been back on.

George:

Oh, not since that. I would have gone on this weekend. It was great weather this weekend. I would have gone on no issues if I wasn't. I'm still not 100% healed, so I don't want to push the barrel, but yeah, I've got no fear around it, which is fine. My missus was like oh no, we're going to sell it now. I'm like relax, like it's anything's dangerous if you're an idiot.

Robby:

The same thing happened. So my cousin's brother-in-law went through a glass wall in Bali on a scooter. Yeah, okay, I don't know how he did something went to a wall. And as soon as he went through the wall, everyone was all of a sudden like to my cousin, don't, that's it, no more scooters, no more scooters, that's it. And I'm like listen, dude, like you're a fucking adult, like you know. I mean, ride safely. Yeah, don't be a dickhead, but you can't just like you know. Imagine someone has a car accident and died. Everyone says there are no more cars.

George:

That's right, and it's also you're letting your fear control you too.

Robby:

Yeah, it's like dude, like are you comfortable riding? Yeah, do you feel okay, dawn? Yeah, yeah, okay, do it safely and you'll be fine. And then he video called me riding his scooter and I was like get back.

George:

Yeah, I may have mentioned this story once before, but have you seen the movie Sully? Of course you have. Everyone's seen the movie Sully. I think it's called Sully. It's about the airplane that landed in the Mississippi Ripper.

Robby:

Of course, Tom Hanks yeah, I haven't seen it, but I I haven't seen it, but Seen the ads, yeah, okay.

George:

So, long story short, this airplane, it's based on a true story. It's a true story, absolutely. Yeah, it's a very true story. Great, it's actually a pretty good movie. Not a bad watch If you've got nothing to do and it comes on Sully, sully. I think. It's pretty sure it's called S and the pilot In the Hudson River.

George:

The Hudson River, yeah, whatever river, some American river, fucking, look it up? Yeah, texas, vegas, the Murray, yeah, and he had to come in and land the plane on the water. Really traumatic. So everyone survived on the plane. No one died. How good, yeah, absolute hero, even though the story goes. The story goes. The pilot got like taken to court and they were trying to pin it on him when really they ended up coming out and going. He actually saved everyone's life. Otherwise, if he tried to make it to the airport, he would have crashed and burned in a mountain or a city or something. So he made the right call going into the river. Long story short, every single passenger on there. How do you reckon they got home that day or the next day? No, not most of them. No, most of them were complete. I don't think anyone, except for one guy. Everyone else would have driven home or caught a bus or caught a train because they were so terrified of flying.

George:

I get that. Yeah, I understand. But there was this one guy. He caught a flight and he actually went around the whole of America touring and giving motivational talks around this. He got on a flight that same night and he was shit scared but he knew flying is one of the safest methods of transportation Statistically. Statistically, absolutely. It's just when something bad happens it's horrific. That's why people often shit themselves in planes. Dude, you ever guess to see that South Korea thing? No, but I think I did no.

Robby:

Oh man, oh, where it goes into the building or whatever. Yeah, I think it's much harder to find the footage now, but when it happened I was, it was new and I saw the footage straight away. You could see the whole thing. Yeah, right, plane goes into the world, blows up yeah, like the whole thing was caught on camera and it's. When I saw that I'm like that's, that's full on. Two people survived. Yeah, they're sitting at the back of the plane. Yeah, guess where this guy sits now?

George:

yeah, it is. It's actually, I think statistically it's the safest place. So, long story short, he got onto a flight that like within a few hours, got to shore, got on a flight and went home and as a result of that, he still flies today. But you fast forward 20, 30 years since that episode. You go and interview all those people and ask them how many of them ever got back on a plane after that, and it's like a very, very small. It's like 3% of the plane got back on a plane after that.

Robby:

Planes are different.

George:

Yeah, but they all let their fear control them, whereas this guy went out, he goes, no, that same. He was the only one that caught a flight home that night. He said, no, I'm going to get back on a plane, I'm not going to let this fear control me or the rest of my life, or anything it is, and get it back on a plane. He was probably nervous. How unlucky do you have to be to be?

Robby:

in a plane, statistically speaking, you're probably at the safest point. If you're in a plane that went down, you're probably so safe, you're probably so. All of the happening is so small, so small, and if it happened, you're just going to say like that's it, yeah.

George:

So I kind of look at that. Whenever something, if ever something, bad was to happen, I think I would have the very same mindset. I go no cool, this isn't going to control me. Let's get back on the bike.

George:

Yeah, depending on what it is, but yeah, of course, because, like, you don't want to put yourself in harm's way if it's statistically, oh, let me tell you. Let me why, like, why the fuck am I going to get into a plane and actively jump off with the risk of killing myself? Yeah, small, very small, but actively go there to do that. Oh look.

Robby:

Definitely passes your mind.

George:

Yeah, but I don't have the. I don't have the itch to go and do something like that, neither did I but I did it and amazing experience it's pretty cool. Yeah, it's pretty cool. It's not life changing.

Robby:

Oh, I didn't sleep any differently that night. Yeah, slept very differently the night before. Yeah, actually, you know what? I was actually really over it because they cancelled on us a few times. Yeah, is that weather conditions? Yeah, and I said to all of them hey guys, great job, if it's not safe, I don't want to do it. But I also got over it because one time we even and I was like, hey guys, great job, like, if it's not safe, I don't want to do it Um, but I also got over it because one time we even drove to uh Geelong, because it was at Barwon Heads. Yeah, we drive all the way there. And they're like, oh, you got to be on standby.

Robby:

I was fucking used to returning our breakfast, and so when it was finally happening, I'm like, oh yeah, whatever, it's probably getting cancelled, probably getting cancelled, like until you're up in the plane. And then you're like, oh, this isn't going to get cancelled, like how have I actually gone ahead with it? And you do get those thoughts, though, like, why the fuck am I doing this? Like this is a perfectly good plane. Guys, stop mucking around, just land the plane. Yeah, let's not be silly, unless you're strapped to another bloke. My point you are strapped to another bloke. My point, bart, is if you had a skydiving accident and it happens right and people survive, and would you go back again and say I'm not going to let this fear conquer me? No way, dude, I would not. I can honestly say I probably wouldn't do it again.

George:

Yeah, I could safely say that as well. Yeah, I get what you're saying there, because. But then if it was something I had, maybe I should change that. If it was something I had to do again. Do you know what I mean? I wouldn't let like say, if it was driving, for example, horrific car accident.

Robby:

Oh, dude, I've met people that had a horrific accident and wouldn't drive, was not willing to drive anymore. They would jump in a car, but they weren't willing to put themselves at the wheel. Yeah, and I was like that's. I was young, I was like, okay, that's different.

George:

Yeah, interesting.

Robby:

But yeah, I definitely wouldn't do it if it was car diving. Yeah, I'm sure there's definitely some stuff there there way as I said I won't.

George:

I'd be a little bit more sensible in choppy weather, I guess. But even other things, like I've been on the Murray doing 120 Ks an hour. Come off on 120 K an hour Like that's oh, you came off. No, I'm saying you did. Do you know what I mean? And there's probably other people in the opposite direction doing that as well. Like, imagine, like you can cause some serious damage in in things. You're taking risks, you're increasing your risk.

Robby:

probability of Everything is.

George:

Everything is that's right, there's nothing, there's everything. What's your favorite?

Robby:

TV show.

George:

Oh, good Of all time, oh wow.

Robby:

I don't know dude.

George:

EZ is perked up, but of all time, of all time? I don't know, I can't tell you off the top of my head. I mean, game of Thrones was good do you watch that stuff?

Robby:

I watch all the stuff dragons and and fairies and leprechauns and unicorns too interesting I'd say, I'd say that's one of the good ones and unicorns too Interesting, I'd say that's one of the good ones, I think, the greatest show of all time. In my opinion, as a man who watches so much TV, is Breaking Bad, oh yeah.

George:

Yeah, have you seen it? I haven't Not a single episode, because I just remembered the two planes crashing.

Robby:

Yeah, and I was thinking about that when you said the jet ski thing.

George:

Um, you haven't seen Breaking Bad a single episode, but it's like something that again it's probably on my saved Netflix list that I just haven't ever watched it, so I was super pumped. That that one, absolutely it is. You need to give me your login passwords. Yeah, passwords, yeah, I haven't watched it. Maybe give me a login password. Maybe I'll watch it. On the way to Vegas Got a TV in my office.

Robby:

Ah sick. I'll bring a chair, Bring the popcorn. I'll watch an episode at night.

George:

We'll finish in a week. Hey, um Hagrid's Million Dollar Day Studio. By the way, you know what's really good.

Robby:

Set up was really good today we can talk about this cloth is, but also how quick the episodes are going to come out, like this will be. This will air next week. Yeah, like we can talk about. Did you retire in a day or something? Yes, I did. What did you think of Djokovic retiring?

George:

He is by far the absolute goat by far. He deserves all the accolade. He deserves all the criticism because he's the fucking best and no one can say shit about it and it's fucking stereotypical of australians to boo him to try and bring someone down. So you are, I am pro him like you wouldn't believe good on him. I want him to win for the next fucking 30 years. All right, just I want the best person to win. I've never, always, I've never been a huge underdog type guy. I want the little guy to win. I've never been a huge underdog type guy. I want the little guy to win. Like, fuck, you Go do another 10 years until you're good enough and then you can win, or you might be good now, but I want the best person to win.

Robby:

So what did you think of his semifinal retirement?

George:

Well, he was injured. The guy was genuinely injured. So why didn't you let the other guy play? Sorry, why?

Robby:

injured. The guy was genuinely injured, so why didn't he let the other guy play? Sorry, why didn't he let the other guy play? What do you mean? The guy who he won just before In the quarterfinals, but he beat him? Yeah, so, but what's the point of beating him and then retiring?

George:

after one set, Well, probably an extra 250 grand.

Robby:

first of all that guy doesn't need money, dude who gives a fuck.

George:

It's my money, why do I? And give it to someone else? You can't beat me injured. You don't deserve to be in the quarterfinals. Yeah, but he got injured beating him. You can't beat me with one fucking leg. You don't deserve to be in the quarterfinals. If you paid to go to that wouldn't you be? Shitty. It's part of the game, isn't it? Tennis is the gayest sport ever. Okay, let it be gay, but that's a possibility that someone rolls their ankle, but this guy didn't roll his ankle, Okay, regardless.

George:

I'm sure he went in there with the intention of trying to get through.

Robby:

So you think he was okay. What do you mean? I think he's a fantastic athlete. Yeah, he's a very good athlete. The guy seems like a dick. You don't know him to say that I don't.

George:

You're just based off what we can see. Yeah, that's what I mean, and't know the bloke. I reckon he's probably the loveliest guy on the planet. Nah, nah, it'd be interesting. What do you guys think? So you're a big guy. Yeah, I'm a huge fan. I think Djokovic is the goat and mate. You're welcome on the podcast. We can have a chat, definitely a great tennis player.

George:

Yeah, but I don't mind. Look, level of arrogance, that's allowed, all right. There's a level of hey, like this is like you know. Say say fuck you money, this is fuck you tennis. I've paved the way, I've won everything more than once every.

Robby:

What about? So? What about the? Yeah, he's won the most grand slams, but what about the fact that he didn't in the quarterfinals?

George:

wasn't willing to have a thing at the end, just went on the mic because, yeah, look, as I said, he's probably having a bit of a sook in that regard, but again, dude you are this.

Robby:

Come on, man. You're letting some guys who make in the crowd get to you.

George:

Are you saying the crowd? Are you saying with the comments from the Channel 9 commentator? What's his name? Are you talking about that?

Robby:

He didn't do the interview. Because of what a Channel 9 interview person said that's why he didn't do the interview.

George:

Oh, is that why he didn't do the interview? Yeah, I can't remember the guy's name. I'll know it when you say it.

Robby:

He also said he made comments.

George:

Yeah, he made comments, and then he was a washed up, he was a has-been. It was tongue in cheek, but he didn't take it that way. And it's like cool?

George:

Yeah Well, in that instance he probably did. But again, think about now. Whenever people it's been happening for the last year. Do you know when it happened? Ever since it's happened Since the time he came to Australia during COVID, the whole vaccine thing, the whole vaccine thing. Then people jumped off the bandwagon, then People started to do that. But I also think it's because he kept winning and people were going.

Robby:

Man, no one ever thought, nah, no one ever thought that way about Federer or Nadal. You know what I mean, like they never thought. You know what I mean? Or even someone who can be a prick like Kyrgios Dude, great tennis player, but like his attitude towards the way he does everything.

George:

I reckon now it's because Kyrgios is probably more entertaining. But you know, people hated at Kyrgios at the start.

Robby:

They thought he was a brat.

George:

But he's done, he's done. He's no different to what he was back then.

Robby:

Yeah, but I guess he he's just.

George:

he's just branded himself very well, become the bad boy and of tennis, and I think his branding's been probably helped him get to where he is. More so Because he then went. He's got all the social stuff. He then started to do jokes with people. He became mates with Djokovic. They used to be enemies. He's made it less gentleman-like the sport and he's probably the only one to do it since McEnroe.

Robby:

Yeah, tennis is the rich kid's sport? Yeah, absolutely, because you need a think about it. You need a one-on-one coach.

George:

Yeah, yeah, that's right, there's a lot to it. And to be the best, like you, look at a lot of people that play, even that are in the top 100 tennis players in the world. Not a lot of them make money that they're going to be able to retire off. They pretty much cover their expenses for the year because they've got to pay for travel and all these 101 other things. I don't think a lot of them.

Robby:

You reckon they make you paid well.

George:

No, they get paid well, but I think, by the time, because they'll have to pay for all the coaches, the training, the flights, the accommodation, all that sort of stuff, I think it's not as beneficial as it might be. Unless you're a top 20 player, you've got to be winning matches. If you're just getting out in the first round, it's a performance sport. Yeah, that's right. So if you're getting out in the first round every open, well then you don't take it. Or every comp, yeah, that's right, that's what I mean.

Robby:

But you're just losing every first match. You're not going to be there for long. Some of them stick around?

George:

Yeah, absolutely.

Robby:

I think that girl that won the Open.

George:

For how much do you make? I don't know I looked it up on the when I was there during the tennis actually what some of them went. We spoke about it the other week as well. Tennis pay yeah, so I get the women's pay. Yeah, they all get paid the same, it's a sliding scale for winning the championship, they get paid more for each match that they win, for each round that they get through, they get paid a little bit more.

Robby:

Yeah, I was actually quite surprised when I saw what UFC fighters.

George:

Some UFC fighters said Like not enough, yeah, but similar thing, you'd think Again, top 100 in their field. You'd think they'd be alright. What I'm talking about, number ones, oh, you're saying the top of the top, yeah, yeah, like, for example, that's what's been the conversation for so many years now Like Islam Mokachev, right, yeah?

Robby:

Pound for pound. Number one in the world, number one lightweight has only lost once. I think his record's 20-something wins and one loss and he's on the longest active win streak ever and took a title fight. The person who was first to fight pulled out last second, so he took a title fight against someone else. I think he made 250 grand and it's like this is the person at the top of the game, like that's not.

George:

Well, that's been the criticism of the UFC for a very long time that they're underpaying their sportsmen.

Robby:

It's also the highest paying MMA. Like if you're the highest paying.

George:

MMA, yeah, but you look at, say boxing, and that's why you see McGregor and Tyrone Woodley, all these guys going out Nguangu, nganu, yeah, nganu, nguangu. Hey, tomato, tomato, yeah, very close, very close. They all go out and do a boxing stint because they're going to make a 20-mil hit in one go.

Robby:

I looked into that and apparently the whole thing around boxing Dan and I said this he goes boxing, do this, he goes. They set up an event, he goes and they go and they raise all this money for the event like it's the last event they're ever going to do, because then they spend all the money. He goes. They don't have an ongoing consistent and he's right, you don't know when the next boxing match is going to be. Like there's no boxing every Saturday. Yeah, that's right. You know what I mean. He's like they haven't. They don't reinvest. Yeah, they don't reinvest in the business. He goes. We're putting a pay-per-view on every single month. He goes, we've got and, dude, youomenal, let's get him on a podcast. Very, very, very few people have done that. You know what I mean. Um, I was reading this thing the other day. Google bought YouTube in 2006 for $1.65 billion. In 2024, youtube makes $1.65 billion of revenue in three weeks and it's like that's very cool. Less than 20 years and you're making what you bought it for in weeks, every week.

George:

How this question will put to me on the weekend how much is enough money for you to be like okay, I can't spend this much.

Robby:

Do you think? Are you asking me the question? Yeah, okay, okay, I think when you say spend, You're just like it just keeps accumulating.

George:

It's not going south, it's always just going north. And you're like, fuck, there's only so many dinners, there's only so many times I get cars.

Robby:

It's very difficult to spend, like you know, five to 10 million, I think that would be very hard to spend. I think so too. Yeah, I think if you want to spend five million, you've got to spend 400k a month. Yeah, I think so too. Yeah, I think if you want to spend $5 million, you've got to spend $400,000 a month. Yeah, and it's like how are you going to spend $100,000 a week, like, I haven't even spent $1,000 this week. Yeah, I mean, like, do you know what I mean? How are you going to spend $100,000 of that? Like, what are you doing? You, you ate out at the best restaurants. That did that. What are you doing?

Robby:

like generally, you'd have to be catching private jets and consistently, and yeah, you're trying to do it yeah and it's like, do you really need to and how much are you on the go and like, yeah, it'd be hard to spend that money. Like you have to, you can get over it absolutely.

George:

I've heard that from a lot of wealthy people saying that same thing, that exact same thing they're like it gets to a point where you buy that, so buying the ferrari, buying the lambo, buying the porsche, whatever it is yeah when you buy the very first one, it's like the best thing ever for like the first month, whatever.

George:

First time you get a big pager yeah, it's unbelievable Accumulation. What I think it represents is it's the accumulation of all the hard work, years and sacrifice and risk that you've put in has now paid off in that purchase. For you to get into a position to buy that car and go, okay, I've got everything else sorted. Now I'm going to go spend a luxury that I don't really need and I can buy it and it doesn't hurt, and this is great. I think it's what it represents in that moment. No, I don't think that's it. But then that moment goes away and then it becomes another car.

Robby:

But I'll tell you why I don't think that's it. Because even if you didn't feel like you'd earned the Ferrari, it would still be a sweep yeah especially if you like it Like if it's genuinely a passion of you wanting to buy it, or someone.

Robby:

yeah, hey here, Like you know what, you know what I'm going to buy. Just hey, here I have my Ferrari for the weekend. Yes, Like that would be. You know what I mean? That would be just as good, or close to as good, of getting your own. You think so? I don't think so.

George:

It'd be fucking sick dude yeah it know.

Robby:

But like, do you get what I'm saying?

George:

Like the level of enjoyment is going to be constant, yeah, but eventually it's going to get to the point where you're going to wake up in the morning and go tick, get in the car. You're going to start it. It's going to work, yeah, and eventually it's going to become nothing. And then it'll get to a point again your money's going to keep accumulating and you go, oh, today, what color? Oh, we'll have. What have you got? I've only got red in stock today.

George:

Okay, I'll take that. I'll just go to porsche on my way home. I'll go to porsche, get one of those too, because I haven't got one of those yet. And then just get someone who's like, oh, what's sex? Yeah, they don't become. It's not as amazing as probably you make it out to be, because it's like, okay, getting in your own car. Now you know how many people would look at that and go, wow, fuck, I'd love to have that car. I'd give anything to have that car to drive around. But you get in it every single day and you don't think you're pissed if it's not on when you get down to the basement. You know what I mean. Yeah, but it's. Yeah, it becomes people's norm and that's where Is there anything?

Robby:

in life where it lasts, because you could say the same thing about anything Like. I know people who are dying to have a kid and I can guarantee you they would go home some days and just be like oh, shut the fuck up. Yeah, be quiet. Do you know what I mean? And it's like, dude, you were dying for that kid and now that kid's here and now you're saying, shush, or you're dying for that car, or you're dying for that chick or that money.

George:

That's what we're saying, doesn't it About. We become complacent, complacent. Yeah, we get used to the norm. I used to think that about my old office. I remember when I first got my office, when I first started my business, you know sick opening the door and going, ah, it's our six years. And then it's like the end of last year. I'm like, oh, I want a new office. I'm over this place and got a new office. We're in a new office now. We've got our own podcast studio and the other day I was like pumped. I'm still pumped. I guess we'll get. It's still cool that we got a nice place that we're operating. Sorry, it's working. It's work now yeah it's already gotten normal.

George:

Mad like crazy man today, yeah, yeah, yeah same. And I was like, oh, it's gotten back to the normal aspect of me being in the space. It becomes okay. Well, of course I've got an office. Why wouldn't I worked hard for it?

Robby:

so what's next?

George:

what is dude, like there is no one thing you can do, where the feeling lasts forever, in my opinion, Like perhaps it can be a similar thing, but you, I don't know, do you have to reinvent yourself or reinvent that thing and make it that little bit different?

Robby:

You know, the other day I was watching UFC and I put a multi up. I put $50 on two fights and I guessed how they were going to win and when they were going to win. So like, buy points in a round or knock out round three, Two fights only. That $50 turned into $11.50. Yeah, $1,100 is not going to change anyone's life in any dramatic way. I was over the moon yeah dude, I was over the.

Robby:

I was so pumped, I felt on top of the world. I was like and then I'm like, what's this feeling? Like nothing could bother me, nothing. They're like, hey, this just happened. I'm like, it's fine, that's couch, support it for free, who cares? And I'm like, what is it? Because, like, the reality is, I could afford those couches. Why is this feeding into a part? And it's like, how do I feed this more? Do you know what I mean? And I was trying to work that out, dude, because I was like, how do you hang on to this feeling? And then here's another thing. I saw this post by Lex Friedman. Do you follow Lex Friedman? You know Lex Friedman movies? You do. If you saw him, you'd know Been on the Joe Rogan podcast and stuff. Yeah, if you saw him, you'd know he put up a thing yesterday saying I'm having, I'm feeling lost.

George:

Yeah.

Robby:

You know what? I want to read it because I can't. I don't have Instagram. I'm feeling lost. I'm feeling lost. And when I feel lost, I'm sitting outside 7-Eleven and, oh dude, sick, follow him. I didn't follow him. Yeah, feeling lonely. Just one of those nights I'm sitting outside 7-Eleven at 2 am, like old times, listening to music, trying to figure out what it's all about. Silly brain is stuck, feeling low tonight, even though I know life is so fucking beautiful. These nights make the happy ones that much sweeter. I wouldn't have it any other way. If you're feeling low, hang on, we're in this together, you know.

Robby:

I mean, I saw that and I was like he's right, dude, because, like, without the shitty moments, you can't have the highs 100, like you just can't. It's impossible. You know what I mean. And and then I was like, did I enjoy that bet so much because I've lost so much? And generally, like it's all the l's that you've taken? And then you hit this and you're like, yeah, I'm going to make a buy MMA bet in cakey, give tits out. Yeah, I don't know. And it was like it was a sick feeling and it was like what's the feeling here? Because I could have made $1,100 in the business and been like. So it wasn't the money, but it was the winning. I think it's the winning.

George:

Yeah, it's winning, because I think about that even with our projects. When we win a job, I get pumped.

Robby:

Yeah, but if you were winning a project, every single thing, you'd only get pumped when you broke a record, or you know what I mean, cause then it's like that's the winning, yeah, and it's like that gives you that feeling. What's the amount of money for you? Same question you asked me Mine was annually, by the way. I wasn't saying, I was saying five, yeah, it'll be there. That's a lot of money. That's a lot of money Like five mils. 400k a month yeah, it's like significant. 100k a week how, yeah, what are you doing Net? Yeah, what are you doing, like, how are you spending it?

George:

Yeah, exactly right. Yeah, I reckon it's around that sort of figure too. But then it's like am I playing small? I don't want to limit myself and play small, but it's still, as you said, like you're comfortably when you're hitting that mark, I reckon you're comfortably making moves on a lot of things.

Robby:

Yeah, I know. But also like if I was taking over 100k a week, someone came up to me and said you're playing small, I'd spit on it Like do you know what I mean? Because but who Do you think? Well, most of the time people like no one-.

George:

Who would say it to you? Huh, who's saying? Who says up to you? Or GC going, oh, 100 grand a week. That's cute. I remember my first job.

Robby:

Yeah, I don't think Hormozy would say that.

George:

No, I'm just saying from the perspective. No, I don't think so either. I think they would be like yeah, good on you, that's sick.

Robby:

I'm going to do it every week. He seems like a very dry. We'll soon find out him. A question Me. Yeah, can you give me a hug? He'll put you on his shoulder. It is massive. Koya, Am I going to ask him a question?

George:

Yeah, so we're going to have an opportunity to have a chat with him. What question would you ask him? Because I thought about that too. It's like well, what do I really want to ask? I feel that a lot of the questions I ask I already know the answer to. Yeah. Do you know what I'd ask him?

Robby:

Two things. One you know how people don't value what's free. I would say you know that, like that's human psychology we inherently undervalue what we haven't earned. And you pay attention and it's like why are you not charging people for the stuff you're giving away for free?

George:

How good, what a story that'll be. He's like you should tell the story about how you had your credit card ready when you did that book launch.

Robby:

Oh, dude, you should say that I was like hurry the fuck up.

George:

You're like what am I paying? I'm going to pay five grand, let's fucking go. And you gave it all for free. I lost my mind. You can say that no line, how good's that. But you would have paid 5k and I reckon probably 30 of the people watching would have done the same. Yeah, he had thousands and thousands, thousands on thousands. So did he miss an opportunity in that instance to go look even for the in the future, say he does another one, everyone's going to get ready and watch it.

Robby:

I don't know, I'm going to leave my credit card here. What's the opportunity? If you're saying, did he miss an opportunity? What to more?

George:

to make the sales to get, because now it's like if he does another one of that, you're probably not going to have your credit card ready. Yeah, he's going to give this away for free anyway?

Robby:

yeah, but then you'd be silly, I know, but just saying I'd have to do the same thing twice.

George:

Oh, whatever, but here's the aspect, but from also, from now, the perspective. I know he's saying give so much value, give so much value and then ask for something.

Robby:

His thing is don't ask.

George:

Ever Let them come. Yeah, well, I guess we did.

Robby:

Yeah, well, when we were going to buy these tickets, you're like oi, remember, it's not cheap. And I said, and then you said this to me, exact words Do you feel like you've gotten and it was like it was about eight grand Do you feel like you've gotten around eight grand worth of value from him? And I said yeah, and then he said, all right, that's it, let's just pay the bill and go. I was like cool, let's go.

George:

Yeah, it's so true. Yeah, it's so true. I have, almost indirectly through your actions as well, because you've sold tickets using his. You've sold products as a result of his strategies in my campaigns.

Robby:

Yeah, and, yeah, he's definitely had a solid impact from that aspect. Yeah, so yeah, I'll leave it at asking that. That's one question. Or the other question is why don't you have a school group? Like you, teach people to go and create a school group and get people in and create you know what I mean that whole community thing. And it's like why are you not doing that? And I worry that his answer will be I have a school group, it's called school the whole thing, and then I'd be like, oh, the whole thing, yeah, and then I'd be like, oh, but you bring your pillow just so you can throw it.

Robby:

I was like yeah, I get where's my credit card. Um yeah, there are two questions I'd ask him what would you ask him?

George:

I don't know. I've been thinking about it. I've been thinking about it because, as I said, I know it's like some. You know, when you deep dive and you do so much research and not only just research but also self-development stuff it's like you know the answer. It's just execution. I kind of know, I kind of feel like that yeah, that's what I mean.

Robby:

Yeah, because I feel like he teaches all that like the answers.

George:

That's right, the answers are there. I probably know, like when he says it it's not gonna be like, oh, what? Like how did I not know that I should have been doing this? Yeah, that's going to be sick. I almost want to kind of give him what we're doing within the whole ad space. Maybe it would be a structure thing with, say, the consulting work, because he's doing a bit of that now, you know, with selling tickets to events and building that aspect on, like the online training type thing. How do I blow that up? But again, I kind of know the answer already.

Robby:

It's more execution now for me, and I also think it's more as we get deeper and deeper into everything. I feel like it's more, even with this podcast. I feel like it's more, just like you need to do the reps, yeah, and we've said that a million times, but like, and it's like, well, a million, is that it Like you need to say it a hundred million times?

George:

Yeah, you know what I mean.

Robby:

You need to do it repetition over and Keep going, and going and going, and I think that's a big part of it as well.

George:

Yeah, yeah, I think so, I think so. I was having a similar conversation with someone today and it's like it's just going to keep growing, it's just going to pay off. It's going to pay off Self-awareness we've spoken about that before. I think that's important to have, making sure that you know your efforts aren't just that, your efforts aren't just they're not going in the right direction. It's got to get to a point where you go well, is this worth it? Am I doing the right thing? Am I going in the right direction by doing all this work?

Robby:

What moves the needle?

George:

for you. What moves it? Why do I do this?

Robby:

No, no, no, no Like what is the action that you need to take for whatever it is that you want that builds the needle? If you want to make more money, what are the things that make you more money? If you want some of your time back, what are the things you can do now that I can allow you to have more time next week, next year? And it's like understanding, like for self-awareness, understanding and focusing on those particular things. Yeah, not fucking. Oh man, my life's hard and I never have time, but all you're doing is like money making stuff. And then it's like you don't like. If you want more time, making more money right now is not the thing, or it might be, but it's about understanding what you want and where you're at. Yeah, absolutely, absolutely. What made you ask the money question?

George:

Today? Yeah, oh, I had the conversation on the weekend. What was so? One of my friends who's done quite well for himself and we've spoken about him before in the past he brought it up to me and he's like you know, this is what I'm thinking, this is where I'm at. He goes how good would it be if I wanted to make a million dollars, like profit, a month? What does that look like? How do I need to do that? And he's got a very good business. Now he's bought, he's built it up from the ground up, done very, very well for himself, multi-million dollar business, making good coin. Out of all of our friends ship group, he's killing it, you know the most. And I was like cool, like this is what I think, this is where I see.

George:

But he brought that idea in my head. He's like a million bucks a month. How could I spend a million dollars a month? That's what he said to me. How could I spend it? I don't even know, but that's what I want to do. Okay, cool, what things do you need to put in place in order to get to that level? He's like oh, this, this, this, this, this. That's where the question came from.

Robby:

At what point do you think at some point some people stop being driven by money?

George:

Yeah, because if it's just, if it's just there every single day and they don't need to do anything.

Robby:

I was having a discussion. It has to. It has to.

George:

Those people that are making hundreds of millions of dollars a week, a month. Wherever it's like, you're not driven by money anymore.

Robby:

Do you think Elon Musk is driven?

George:

by money. Yeah, that's exactly right. You go to him and say, oi, fold up that tripod and I'll give you $100 million.

Robby:

He'd be like, no, I'll double it To not talk to me ever again. Exactly so. You don't believe he's driven by money? No, I don't believe he's driven by money. No, I don't think so. Yeah, I'm with you. I don't think so, 100%.

George:

And I think it gets to like that for a lot of people, I think he could not.

Robby:

He has zero. He could not spend that money if he tried.

George:

Yeah, but people couldn't. That's why he's a powerful person. People can't influence him either. He influences countries. Now he does Fuck. He's influencing the most in you know, one of the most powerful countries in the world or the most. It's like no chance of people like that, and I know there would be people out there that just wouldn't be influenced by money.

Robby:

I think at some point it only buys you a certain because money is when you don't have money. Money, initially is, is almost like power, because it gives you the ability it still is, but up to a certain point, with what, how so? Like you might not be once you're at 10 billion or something, like it's not going to do anything. Faster, faster past that. Like, do you think someone who has 80 billion and someone who has 10 billion live very different lives? Yeah, that's right?

Robby:

I don't think so. No, you Maybe someone who has 20 million and someone who has 20 billion, yes, but like, I think, once you've passed and I could be wrong, but I think once you've passed a certain point, there might be stuff we don't know about yet. Once you've passed a certain point, it just doesn't. It doesn't do anything anymore. It's like don't even know how to get rid of this. Yeah, get out of the way. I don't think it's taking off space. Um, yeah, I was having that conversation with someone before, someone from your team.

George:

Actually, hello, yeah let me know later might put them on the chopping block.

Robby:

Hopefully they'll say to this because they were adamant that elon mus money hungry and I was like, dude, wake up, wake, the fuck up.

George:

Again, probably talking to someone who doesn't have money. Yes, Do you know what I mean when I say doesn't have money in relative?

Robby:

terms Like wealth, yeah.

George:

You're not talking about a person. Put it this way if they had money, I'm sure they wouldn't be working for me. If they had that level of money, they wouldn't be working here. So do you think Hormozy is money driven. I reckon there is a level of it at the moment because he wants to make a billion dollars and document his journey.

Robby:

Yeah, but do you think he wants to make a billion dollars because he wants a billion dollars? Or do you think he wants to make a billion dollars Because I think dude, I've been stuff. I think he is a freak, like in the sense of all he does is work, yeah, and he says he says all I do is work, like people don't get it like I love the game and I think he's just experienced way more than most people do by his age. Oh, without a doubt, yeah, way more. And he's walked the path and he's like I'm so good at this, I've done, I've put in enough reps, experience that I can. And it's like do you think his life's going to change?

Robby:

He's the guy who gets on the end and says do not buy an expensive car. He's like don't do it. He's like I'm telling you right now. He's like I drive, he goes, my life didn't change, he goes. At the start it was like, oh, this is kind of cool, he goes. It was the same. Now he goes I'm going to pay X amount every single month for this car.

George:

That has no positive ongoing effect in my life that's because he makes it like that too, I reckon, because if he, if he genuinely, I would buy a Bentley. Yeah, but I'm just saying if he genuinely used that like, loved the car, loved the way it made him feel, that's what I'm saying. He does it as connections with people, gets in part of the Bentley club and gets to rub shoulders with other people who have businesses that come to acquisitioncom that help build his wealth up. Yeah, it could be beneficial to him, but he's chosen as well, not to. It's just a point A to B car for him.

Robby:

So whether he's driving a Bentley or a Hyundai, for him it kind of makes no difference. I'm saying that in the sense of he's not a, he doesn't seem to be a very. You know, I want more money sort of guy.

George:

Well, it's probably more for him the ability to tick the box and go hey, let me show you how. Because he always says I would have loved to have seen Jeff Bezos from his garage all the way to the first bill and document that, and he goes that doesn't exist anywhere. Yeah, he could probably sit there on an interview show, come on Million Dollar Days, talk about it, but he can't actually see it anywhere. Whereas Hormozy he goes, you guys are going to be able to watch me. From the time I sold acquisitioncom or no, sorry gym launch to building acquisitioncom to be worth a billion dollars.

Robby:

What's driving him, though?

George:

Probably, maybe getting to that, the journey of getting to that point and documenting that journey and showing that he can do it. Perhaps that's what's driving him in that space now. Maybe that's a question I'll ask him what's driving you? He says he loves it. That's going to help too. But you know he's sacrificing other things, like things that you would think that aren't normal, like having a dog, having kids. He's sacrificing all that stuff. He goes no, no, this is what we're doing, this is what we want to do.

Robby:

This is the path we want to take yeah it's a trade-off.

George:

It is a trade-off. Some people are not willing to give that trade-off. I would never be willing to give that trade-off. He said to me look, you're on your path, You'll make a bill, but you can't have kids. I'm what's more important.

Robby:

Yeah, it's, interesting.

George:

Yeah, yeah, but it's again what people want. I've got some friends who I'm actually probably going to price to build their house. He's, they've just they've told me he goes man, I just don't want kids Because we like our life. We do what we want when we want how we want. We've just got no ambition to have children. This house is designed for adults. He hasn't put a nursery anywhere. There's no baths in it. This is for us, selfishly, but that's cool.

George:

You do you whatever makes you happy, whatever fills your cup. I think when you get to that point where you're like the money doesn't have anything, because it does get to that point for a lot of people that's when you need to go well, what is filling your cup? What actually makes you happy? Money can be a tool to do that. That's what it is. It's just a tool. At the end of the day, the actual physical thing doesn't make you happy. The plastic, the coins, they don't make you happy when you touch them, when you see them, when you see them, when you feel them, smell them, nothing it's what they do that can make you happy.

Robby:

Who's smelling money?

George:

I'm sure there's people out there the tool to use that currency to go and do the things that bring you fulfillment. I reckon that's what will ultimately drive people. I mean Musk is. Maybe his whole thing is the fact of just getting to Mars. But that's what I mean. He's on that next level, like okay, cool, I want to go to Mars. I believe that, yeah, I'm going to go and I'm going to die there.

Robby:

I just don't think you can be money-driven and have that much money and still be money-driven. It's like saying you are hungry for food and you've got all this food in front of you and you're full and you still want more food. You know what I mean. And people say, oh yeah, but it's greed and it's this and it's like how much? But you're like, no, I don't need any more food. How much greed, I'm full.

George:

I'm up to here. I don't need more food. It good cake. Okay, I'm sure it's the best cake, but it's not going to taste as good because I'm so fucking full that I'm about to throw up.

Robby:

It could be the exact same thing with the money. Yeah, I guess the only time you'd want more is if you had a fear of losing it yeah. Right.

George:

You don't know when your next meal's coming.

Robby:

Yeah, because then you'd be like no, no, keep a session more. Yeah, keep a session more, but that guy doesn't fear that.

George:

Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

Robby:

He doesn't fear that at all. He'll go down in history, dude. He already has, even if he stopped today, the greatest ever entrepreneur to walk the planet.

George:

He's created so much change. It's not funny. On this one, even just the electric car space movement See what I mean? He brought that. No one else. No one else was making electric cars before Tesla. You know he bought into Tesla. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but saying like no one was ever taking it seriously. You never see any of the car manufacturers. Still, people aren't taking it seriously. Yeah, it's taking longer to catch on. Yeah, you said that my mate bought one. My mate's very close. Yeah, he bought the. What's the one? You went to look at? Model 3? Model 3,? Yeah, yeah, he got one of those. He likes it.

Robby:

Yeah, I do. Cool car, Very cool car, very futuristic car.

George:

It is. You were saying that the other day there were so many features in that car that aren't on current model cars vehicles but you're seeing them starting to creep in as well.

Robby:

no, no, no it's until you jump in one and drive on and realize, oh, they don't have this, oh, there's no that, oh, like there's no mirror. How do you adjust the mirrors? Like it's all on the screen? You know everything is adjustable through the screen and you think why the fuck is no one else on there? Why are we so sold on this little knob thing and the electric thing? You know what? I mean, and it's like there's nothing. There's nothing in the car. There's two joysticks on the steering wheel.

George:

That's it, the new model. They've introduced the indicator Like an actual indicator that you push up and down. They've updated the Model 3. I saw that the other day. It's a button, isn't it? No, they've changed it. They've updated it. Oh really, yeah, they've got the new model out now, but, yeah, he's affected so much change in so many places. Paypal, one of the first payment platforms out there, billion dollar company, its own bright it must be money driven.

George:

Got to like Twitter Must be. Do you know what would drive our audience? What? What? I reckon what would drive our audience would be A the knowledge that they want to consume in their day-to-day life. That's why they're listening to this podcast. But a lot of them are listening, but there's also a lot of them that are not subscribed, you know, towards the end of last year we did that.

Robby:

Was it the end of last year? Yeah, we did the. Was it the end of last year? Yeah, we did the giveaway, yes, and I had someone reach out and say, hey, I'd love a hat. So we posted it out to them, yeah. And then the other day I get a photo. Oh, I wear it too, yeah, and I'm like that's cool.

George:

Very good. You should post it to the Instagram page, with their permission, I guess, yes, or just do it. Better ask forgiveness than permission, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, you know, when we first started this podcast, I reckon there was an element of no, no, it's just about money and business and all that sort of stuff, but we speak so much lifestyle stuff on here, dude.

Robby:

I had someone say this to me the other day and they're like what's a million dollar day? And I was like it started as making a million dollars in a day.

George:

I said, but I think it's slowly formed into feeling like you made a million dollars in a day. That's right. I want to finish on this. How good. Today, actually, I was watching a video on Terry Crews. You know who he is.

Robby:

Yeah.

George:

Good guy, get him on the cast. But he was saying when I first got my first job because I used to work security and I used to sit there and I think if I was going to get paid $1 million to do this job, how would I do it? How would I do this job If I was getting paid? If someone said, look, tonight is security night. You're going to get paid a million dollars to do this job, how would I do it? He's like cool, I'd draw a plan up, I'd calculate my route, where I'm going to actually walk. I'd check my flashlight, make sure there's great batteries in it, that they've really recharged, that if they're not charged, I'll have spare batteries. He started to think about his job like that Then he goes my next job. Then I started sweeping floors. He's like okay, I that. Then he goes my next job. Then I started sweeping floors. He's like, okay, I've got to sweep this whole building. How am I going to sweep?

George:

Someone said to me I'm going to sweep this whole building, I'm going to make a million dollars. What am I going to do? I'm going to make sure the vacuum cleaner's in the right place. I'm going to make sure I've got power everywhere. Make sure the bag's empty. I'm going to empty it after each level.

George:

I'm going to start in this corner, work the way back, like he started to think about how he could do that job and that role in an exceptional way for him to, for him to, if he made a million dollars and he goes. I started looking at absolutely everything like that in my life, you know, and they got to the point well, how would I wash my car if someone was paying me a million dollars, you know? And then he said everything that followed thereafter. His whole attitude behind things, his whole mindset behind things was well, how can I do this to the absolute best of my ability if I get paid a million dollars and then eventually, he's getting paid millions of dollars to be doing his acting career and everything else that's came to fruition? And I love the whole concept behind that.

George:

I think, if you're an employee and a worker right now, if you're looking at your role and what you're doing in business, ask yourself how would I do this differently if I was getting paid $1 million? Don't forget the fact that you're not getting paid $1 million just for a moment. But if you were, what would you do differently. How would you do it differently? And don't think I'm going to get a leg up, or my boss is going to get a leg up on me because I'm going to give him so much more value, because you will be surprised at the doors that open up for you Also how much your employer will actually appreciate.

Robby:

Even if you leave or when you've gone, because they'll be like fuck, next guy's not as good or whatever it is good or whatever it is, they'll appreciate. There's a level of appreciation there that is hard to explain. Or if you make yourself hard to replace, even if they don't appreciate it during the time, the time will come where they'll realize like they'll at some point notice.

George:

Let me tell you something, and I can say this because they're probably not going to listen. I'm the first one in the office every day and even if I'm not, I'm doing something somewhere where I'm the first one there. It could be the gym, it could be on site. Whatever it is, ask me how many times over the last two years someone has been in the office before me.

Robby:

How many?

George:

None, zero, zero. Forget the fact if I rocked up to work at 8 o'clock or if I was at home and I came into work at 8, if it was just a normal 9 to 5 workday or whatever it is the workday. Ask me how many times someone has been in before me? Not once. Now. Imagine that next week I get to work 6.30, 7 o'clock, whatever it is, 6 am and there's already someone there working. Imagine the profound effect that that would have on me. The first day below oh you shit, the bed Might give him a bit of cheek. Oh, what are you doing here so early? You have a punch on with the missus. She kicked you out. Then the next day, then the next day, then the next day. Imagine it's every day for a whole year. Imagine the profound effect that that would have on me and someone who values someone that does work, that's committed, that loves what they do, all that sort of stuff.

George:

When the payroll comes around and it's time to give someone a bonus, guess who's getting it. When it comes time when we're quiet and we have to retain stuff, guess who we're keeping. When there's opportunities for someone to make a little bit more money and say, hey, come here. I want to get you involved in this. The doors that it will open will be phenomenal. Or say you know what, guys, I'm done? We're selling up the business. But you come over here. I need to speak to you. My mate is over here. I've given you a very good word. Have a chat with him. He's going to look after you and you're going to make 250 grand a year working for this guy, because I've put in a really good word for you. That's the opportunity that you're missing by not giving 110%. Do it selfishly for you. That's what they should be doing. They should be doing it selfishly for them. I'm going to work that much harder In my professional career.

George:

When I was working for someone, I was always the first in the office. I was the first one in the office. I made it my fucking business to be in before the bosses. I always got the promotion before everyone else. I was always the last to be let go. If there was ever a downturn, I was always the one that got the best projects Whenever there was a project.

George:

No, george is on that job because I know he's going to deliver the best work I know he's going to have. I'm going to give him that one because it's easier. I want him to have a cool run where he can come in and just crush it and make us lots of money. That's a hot tip I'd give to absolutely anyone in business right now. And have that mindset how can I do this job if I was getting paid a million dollars? What would I do? If you ask yourself that question and followed suit with Terry Crews? I think you'll just absolutely dominate. That's a wrap. That's a wrap, guys. Thanks for tuning in. Make sure you subscribe. Tell your friends I'm sure Robbie's going to tell you to tell someone particularly. Tell your mother Get her onto it, because we're all going to have that's stuck so well it has it has absolutely. Thanks. Tune in next week, guys, and I hope you have a million dollar day.

Robby:

Bye, everybody, see ya.
