  • Why Jeff Bezos is the Richest Man in the World While the Rest of the World Struggles

    Bram stumbled across an infographic that listed all of Jeff Bezos' assets and investments. We posted this in our community and on social and got a lot mixed replies. Some were inspired, some were disgusted, some were upset that Bezos has acquired so much wealth. "Why does he need that? That's too much"


    Over the last couple days Jeff Bezos’s networth has gone to over 200billion dollars. I have seen a lot of disgruntled people on the internet saying nobody deserves to be this rich and he should end world hunger. Now while I do agree Jeff bezos can do a lot more to help the world with important issues we need to step back and consider a few things.

    1. It is highly unlikely that  bezos has 200 billion dollars in cash. At most I believe he may have 100million( will look into actual numbers). This means For bezos to put a substantial dent into world issues he would have to sell his assets.

    2. For Bezos to be worth over 200 Billion dollars he must be creating value of over 200Billion dollars. Which means he has created millions and millions of Jobs that would otherwise not be there. This within itself is helping to feed a lot of families and grow a lot of economies state wide.

    3. Bezos has his buckets set up right( just like we went over last weekend)

    He is only becoming richer and richer because he has his cash in investments that work for him. Amazon make Billions of dollars in cash flow and bezos takes the cash flow from amazon and transfers it into the bucket on the right .... he then takes the dividends from those businesses and re-invests it into that bucket again. Bezos has way over 600 million dollars invested even if that money gets 5% return a year which is very very underestimated because his investments are getting more of a venture fund type return he would make 30million. This is all He has been doing for years , as compound interest takes effect he will become richer and richer even quicker.

  • Experience Stretching: The #1 Thing You Need to Understand About Healthy Social Media Use
    In today’s discussion, we get to meet Abraham Robertson (@AbrahamNeitaRob), Investor and Entrepreneur, and student of life. We’re talking about something that everyone needs to understand in the 21st century and beyond. Tune in to find out why.
    ...
    Have you ever compared yourself consciously or unconsciously to someone on social media? Sometimes it’s people we know, sometimes it’s strangers. Everybody has put the highlight reel of their lives on full display. This has a lot of upsides, but it can also have some scary downsides.
    It creates this pressure to chase a false ideal of success/happiness. This is what Abraham has coined as “Experience Stretching.” Which is the topic of today’s podcast.
    More and more technology is becoming an extension of who we are. For many, social media is at the center of how we connect to everyone and everything.
    We’re constantly being exposed to new experiences virtually. Our experiences inevitably affect how we see the world and our lives.
    We have a choice in how we let this affect us. When we see things online we can choose to:
    A) Use those experiences to attract and manifest
    B) Appreciate them without feeling any attachment
    C) Compare yourself and feel a sense of lack or insecurity about where you are
    …
    Most of us use social media unconsciously without realizing how powerful it is as a tool, it can amplify and connect you to whatever you want.
    But with great power comes great responsibility. I personally all kids should take some social media ethics/best practices course. We need to be mindful about how we navigate these platforms and how we let them affect us.
    This conversation with Abraham breaks down how we can arm ourselves against the downsides of social media and harness it's power for better. We talk about BF Skinner, The Comparison Trap, Manifestation, Self Awareness, and much more.

  • How do you deal with Anxiety or Fear when it comes to interviews, presentations, or public speaking?

    Have you ever dealt with Fear or Anxiety with presentations, interviews, evaluations?


    This video is for you.

    It does a couple important things:

    • Discusses the origin of this fear and what it means:
      • Reframe how we think about those feelings of unworthiness, the fear of being wrong, or the fear of missing an opportunity
      • How to reframe the interview:
        • It’s not a dog and pony show, it’s a catchup and brainstorm with an old friend.
        • Bonus tips on overcoming this
          • Use those emotions to trigger a positive excitement about solving a new problem or thinking about your past experiences in a different light — both of which are highly beneficial
          • Speak and carry yourself as though what you are saying is incredibly important and people are excited to hear it. That way, you’re just as excited to share it.
          • You got this fam.

          • BE THE HARDEST WORKING PERSON YOU KNOW #MOTIVATIONALRANT

            I just stumbled across a video from 1-2 years ago and I’m both entertained and inspired.  The hustle and grind is one of my core tenets. In personal experience and in my studies, I’ve seen firsthand how much of a difference it makes when you’re willing to dog it out in the trenches. When you in the big leagues, every inch counts.  If you have goals, but you are not inspired by your own dedication and work ethic, this video is a reminder to step up to the plate.  


            This mentality and lifestyle is not for everyone. Viewer discretion is advised. But it is for me, and I love it.  To all my #PowerRangers I hope that you get a laugh, some motivation, and some energy to kickstart you on your journey.  Like uncle Zig Ziglar said, motivation is the fuel to keep the human engine running. May this fill up your tank Bc I know it filled up mine.  As always: own your power, empower those around you, and leave no stone unturned.  #BlackLotusOut

          • The Top 2 Reasons to Put Yourself Out There #Branding

            Today I got a heartwarming message from an old classmate and it reminded me of why it’s so important to share your message and your journey.Putting yourself out there can be daunting for several reasons: fear of failure, fear of rejection, fear of humiliation, fear of ridicule. But this video explains why despite this risk, it’s one of the most important things you can do for yourself and for your business.  When you put yourself out there, you create positive externalities. Opportunities will be attracted to you just because you are known and well regarded.  When you put yourself out there, you contribute to the people who need you and who are on a similar journey as you.The anxiety of putting yourself on the public stage wil likely never dissipate. But let’s learn to see that anxiety differently. It did not come to tell us to stop. The anxiety came to remind us to do our best. What do you need to do to put yourself out there more?
