TRANSCRIPT

00:00 Burst 01
Hello all divine people Friday, July 7th, 2023 is here and we always say Friday is a small Saturday. We are so excited. Episode 380. We are getting close to 400 and we are cooking because Naples is 91. There are liars. But based on my thickness of my skin, it feels like 178. Really? Do you think we could go crack an egg on the sidewalk right now and see if it fries? We can, but my name is Rich and I’m from this mic. And my name is Matt from this mic. Sorry I put the egg before the cart. Before the chicken. Well, you always say the carrot before the cart, bleed the horse, whatever. I got ahead of the game. Yeah, that was more than, not horse. My mouth usually gets me in trouble. Or the mule, the donkey. Or a jack something, but we won’t go there. Well, let’s just say it’s extremely hot. As opposed to what? Extremely hot and hot, that’s the weather in Naples. Stay hydrated. Stay hydrated, sunscreen. We are kind of in the deficiency of people, they’re all laying on the beach. Sizzling. Sizzling away like a piece of bacon. We got some deliveries, I seen the beach today. Yeah, you did. We told them, order something so we can see a beach. And I did see it. You drove all the way down to Lautermo, right? Yeah, I went to Lautermo to see the beach. That’s awesome. Yeah, firefighters there, they’ve been flushing all the fire hydrants. Nice. So kids were running all around underneath of the flush. And when they see my truck, they felt like, I mean you should see, they were like roasters, just coming up like, there’s a competition. Because… Such a big competition, a fire truck with a huge red coffee cup on top. Yeah, that’s very much the description of our mini fire truck that we use for deliveries. Yeah, I love it. So that was the view, I saw the beach, they thank you, the people that order on Lautermo Park and keep ordering. Beachesos .com, we have 250 items you can order from, choose from, and we deliver for free, not the items for free, but just drive there for free. From 33rd Avenue South up to Beyond Edgewater Hotel. There you go, beers, water, soda, everything. Sandwiches. What’s your favorite from our menu? What’s my favorite? I like the sandwiches. I mean it just depends what I’m in the mood for. I love chocolate. Chocolate croissant. We’ll be talking about that later today. Yeah, so that’s pretty much what we are aiming for for the weekend. So if you’re on a beach because you’re a resident and you are here, and you’re missing something or you don’t want to lose the parking space, we are here for you. Wwwbeachesos .com There you go, so order up. Yeah, what’s going on? How do you feel about this small Saturday? I feel great. Here we are sliding into the weekend, so I just want to encourage people to get out there and visit some of your local businesses. Yeah, this is going to be our first full week of podcast since you came back. Ever though, I meant just, you know, they’re getting posted every day. It’s exciting, so let’s just continue to travel down this road and believe that we’re going to see great things happen here in Naples and Southwest Florida for businesses, for families and community, because that’s what we’re all about. divinenapels .com That’s correct, 23 websites in 18 languages, the biggest and largest portal around Southwest Florida. I’m not allowed to say that word, so I’ll say the largest hub. That’s still only really what you can make sense out of. It’s like a hub, that’s a one syllable word. Yeah, you cannot really mess that up. I can’t mess that up. I might mix it up with pub. On the other hand, we call you a wordsmith for a good reason, because some of the difficult words you have no problem with. And you even invent some new ones like Instabook. Instabook? I don’t know what was in my mind that day, but you know what it was? I think we were doing, you know, my bit later that everybody’s going to hear, the in -house pharmacist and the prescription of vitamin D. And I think I was going through the transition of liking this, that, plugging in that, sign scripture for this, and get us on Instabook. I think I should create that. Absolutely. It’s the book. Maybe you should put also some Twitter, DNA in it. Start one. TikTok. Quitter. And TikTok. I’d like you to think about it. TikTok. Or maybe I could come up with something with a TikTok Twitter. Oh my God. Twiktok Twitter. Ay yi yi. Anyway. There you go. I make, I make, you know, they used to say that I should make a dictionary of Maddyisms, because of so many. Some people go on my Facebook and look and say, all the stuff you post on there is like you’re talking in code. Actually I am, because I’ve just, you know, I’ve met so many people across the nation and made relationships and different things. So sometimes, you know, I’ll just call them by their nickname or say this or that or whatever, just to kind of grab their attention. You know, you know how important social media is today to people. I mean, I mean, look, our faces are in our phones all the time. Not mine. Well, cause you’re busy. I obviously don’t have much to do. Kidding. I don’t have much of a facelift. It’s played an important part, you know, for good and for bad. I could say, to say the least, I should say. But anyway, you know, speaking of, you know, social media, why don’t you go check out our Facebook page? Or maybe also you can check out our Instagram page. Right. So we are in social media. We’re going to be beefing that up. TikTok. TikTok. I don’t know. Have we done that yet? Yeah, we’re doing it. I didn’t know that. I’m hoping that someday, now that I’m back here, that we’re going to be able to do, you know, our little man on the street type things. Or that we’re doing it. Or just here in the studio and start getting this thing on YouTube. We’re doing it. Absolutely. Well, we need to film it. So that’ll require me to change shirts. No, I’m kidding. You lost so much weight now I have to do it. Yeah, that’s true. Thank you. I mean, it’s not like I was a hippo. It’s just getting into shape, man. You want me to disappear? No. He came in the studio normally. He came with the crocs. Now he came with the gloves. I tell you what, he’s got his garden gloves. He put them on the table and I go like, okay, what is this for? For my push -ups. Hold on. Are you going to do some push -ups? No, every time I’m waiting for the red light, I go on the sidewalk making push -ups. You know, when you’re walking around or just waiting on things or whatever, I try to get that little workout in between. You know, I like to stay busy. When there’s downtime, I just start. I just want to put this picture of people when they see somebody running out of the car and do five push -ups before the green light. Well, I got to tell you, one day I was in a parking lot over by the cinemas over there. What are the cinemas over off of Naples Boulevard? Oh, that’s Hollywood 20. Yeah, Hollywood
08:16 Burst 02
Yeah, Hollywood 20. And so one time I was just in the parking lot and I decided, you know, I’m waiting for something. I’m just going to get out and do 20. So I get out and I’m doing like, you know, I’m into about 15 and some girl had her window rolled down drive by. She goes, yeah, get it. Get 50. Get 50. And I’m like, man, I’m out of breath at 20. I mean, I could do 50 if I… You should sign up for… Get it. You should sign up for your fan club. So it was two things either. She was mocking me and making fun of me or like really trying to motivate me. But I do want to say this. A part of this whole divinenapels .com is to motivate and to speak positively to people and to build community. And that really does happen with, you know, how you develop as a person, your family, just business in general and creating genuine community. And connection. Yeah. And part of that, too, is that was the whole idea behind Divine Naples Coffee and Wine Bar. Correct. And so soon, like we’ve spoke in recent, you know, new podcasts, we are going to start having different events here. And so if you ever are thinking, you know, and listening to this podcast and say, hey, I might like to do an event, maybe a birthday or something or whatever, just a little get together, we are going to start opening up, you know, and booking nights to where you can do something, even if you just want to have a little party with, you know, a few handful of people or whatever. You mean handsome people? I’m sorry, I just bumped my mic. Handsome females because Matt is single. He is. And he’s obviously staying that way. I know. Let’s be serious. We are planning to do network marketing events. We would like to do also singles. You know, somehow events that we can get together and make connections because connections are very important. But we also want to connect with local businesses. So if anybody knows anyone here in our community and has a friend, I’m sure, you know, if you’ve been here for a couple of years, you have some favorite business you visit often and you know somebody who works really hard because they are passionate. We want to know about them. Please let them know to contact us or you contact us and we contact them and somehow figure it out. The email is info at divinenapos .com or just DMS, that is the direct message on any social media. We will follow up on it. We have some leads already and we’re looking forward to meet all of those people. At least, you know, connect them with them and see when we can get them in our studio and just put them in a hot seat. Yeah. Right? Yeah, I’m into that. And now the connections that should be and Matt actually described that a couple of days ago nicely and that is family. And I think, you know, having connection in a family, that’s very important. So we’re celebrating today National Peace and Love Day. So let’s just take that in, you know, run it down in your mind. Right. If you don’t know, July 7, 2023 is International Peace and Love Day. So let’s just be peaceful. Spread the love. Yeah, and spread the love around. But the connection that I’m talking about is, let me find it because, well, you have it. I have it. Give it to me. National father, daughter take a walk day. Well, where are they going to walk? Well, it just depends. We’ve got lots of nice places here in Naples that you can walk. Some might want to walk on the beach, different parks. There’s lots of things. Botanical gardens? Yeah, or you can simply just take a walk with your daughter around the neighborhood. And, you know, I’ll just give an example. My son in California takes his daughter out, my granddaughter, out three times a day walking. Now he does work at home. She doesn’t walk in? No, she’s in a… You’re right, actually. She just started. She just started walking? Well, you can take a daughter out in a stroller. I mean, they do, you know, when they become day one years old. Anyway, that’s one of the days. So if you’ve got a daughter, you know, take her out for a stroll. Make sure everybody knows and see her. Yeah. And you should be proud of her because she’s your daughter. That’s right. And you’re just spending some quality time and building family together. That’s correct. Healthy families make healthy communities. Make sure the kids are proud of the parents and they never feel embarrassed. I got another day for you. Give it to me. It’s National Dive Bar Day. Oh, my God. That’s your type of day. I don’t think… Well, anyway… I’ve never been in a dive bar. What is that exactly? It’s just your local bar, they call it, or whatever. You come in a dive equipment? Or divers goes there? I just… You made me laugh so much. Don’t die on me. I’m not going to die on you. No, it’s just your local watering hole. What is watering? I’m so behind. Slang for, you know, your little place where you have a cocktail. Oh, there is a bar right here on our street on a 4th Avenue South. But when you cross 41, you know, where’s the Naples… What is it? Train Depot? Yeah, right there. Train Depot, that may be the one. That is like between the buildings. Yeah, there you go. Have you seen it? I haven’t seen it, but I don’t… Bikers usually go there. I’ve never seen there being open, but a few people… I think they’re just like a sponsor’s business owner. It’s a… It seems like a derogatory statement, but it’s just kind of a slang thing. So hey, if you’re into it, go, you know, be a patron of your local dive bar, because they can use the business too. Just when I know where the dive is, I can dive in. You know, that’s the whole thing. You dive into other things. Can I also snorkel in? Snorkel in? Yeah, I guess. Just so I make sure. I think you should just go to the beach and do your snorkeling. And last one I want to mention that is your favorite, and that is World Chocolate Day. So anybody go and dive into chocolate and snorkel into chocolate, get the bar and eat it underneath the table, so nobody finds you and nobody sees you. Yeah, or simply just go to some local business that sells chocolate, and if you like chocolate, buy the chocolate and eat the chocolate, or
14:48 Burst 03
buy the chocolate for somebody, or share the chocolate with somebody. That’s correct, and we’re going to go back to our coffee and wine bar, we’re going to have chocolate croissant, and we’re going to buy the chocolate croissant, and then take one of the European chocolate and eat the chocolate with the chocolate croissant. So there, I think chocolate’s covered. And we can have also hot chocolate. Yeah, why not? Yeah, that is European too. It sure is. Yeah. So that’s pretty much about all the days. We have anything else? We’ve got a couple of events. Events? Yeah, it’s on Saturday. Hold on just a second. Let’s dive into… Let’s dive into events. I am still snorkeling. You’re snorkeling, I’m diving. Let’s do it. That kind of sounds weird, but anyway. There’s Sunset Saturdays at the Cove. Tell them where the Cove is. That’s good, yeah. Let’s go. Cove Inn. Yeah. There’s a tiki bar. Have you been there? I have been there. But I went there for breakfast. Did you dive in the tiki bar? No. Okay, I will snorkel in today. Snorkel in. I’ll get you up to speed. There’s also the Naples Beach cleanup day and that’s… That’s very important. That’s in Vanderbilt. We want to keep our communities clean. We’ve all seen what’s happened before when we have people, visitors from other coasts coming over, whatever. Let’s keep our beaches clean for everybody, for the locals, for those that are coming to visit Naples from other nations. And if I may say, a lot of people, I’m not going to point fingers because my fingers not that long, so I just want to say a lot of people just leave stuff behind them when they leave the beach. So if you are one of them, just please come back today and tomorrow and find a thing, object, whatever it is, and pick it up. So that will be part of the cleanup. So if you don’t mind and you have time on hands and you’re passionate, just like us, you will find where they do the cleanup and you will participate at least 15 minutes, 20, 30, it doesn’t matter. Makes you feel good. I got one more and that’s hands on history family days. So if you got kids or whatever, you can go to the Collier Museum at Government Center and that’s on 3331 Tamiami Trail, East Naples. And you can take your kids and they get a chance to handle historic objects and work with old fashioned tools and get a sense of what people had to work with in the past. Yeah, so before the iPhone and electric battery operated D -wall drill. Caveman drill. It was not a Makita. You don’t think caveman had Makita? I don’t think so. Where is Makita or Milwaukee before? Milwaukee is a good product. Yeah, you think the caveman? I don’t think so. How do you find out? They were too busy pulling their goals by the hair. And tomorrow also, if you in downtown, you may be subject to a free concert that is happening between 1 and 3 p .m. in Norris Center, 755 8th Avenue South, that is in Campier Park and the band which is playing is Naples Jazzmaster. Bring your beach chair, maybe if you drink, you should or not, you can order from us. We bring it to you, just be hydratic, sunscreen, it’s right in the middle of the day so be ready for it, 1 to 3 p .m. on Campier Park. And with that, we’re just going to wrap it up because this small salary, we have things to do. Yeah, we do get ready to slide into that weekend. And anyway, what I want to do, because I’m the in -house pharmacist, I want to prescribe something to you. Go ahead. And I’m going to prescribe vitamin D. And what is vitamin D? We want you to tell somebody about divinenaples .com today. Anybody. Anybody on the streets, neighbors, family members, I don’t even care, cats or dogs. Tell somebody about divinenaples .com today. Tell them to follow us on Facebook and to subscribe to this podcast, share this podcast with somebody. We’re here for you to build community. Bam! That was nice, bam. Well, it’s better than the coughing that we’re going to have to deal with on this. No, we’re going to leave it there. I know we are going to leave it there and maybe you can put it in the write -up. Yeah, I’m going to put it up there and just tell them, you know, you are the last, Brett. You’re just running out of us. I’m heading in the wrong direction. And with that, this episode, which is 380, we’re getting close to 400. Do you have anything she’s doing in 400? Nah, I don’t know. We’ll find out. We’ll figure it out. Small Saturday, that means Friday, is right behind us and we’re looking forward to another podcast, another day, always from this mic. Rich. And from this mic, Matt. Ciao. Ciao.

July 04, 2023 Independence Day Means So Much To Divine Naples – Episode #377 – July. 4th. 2023
Since we opened Divine Naples Coffee and Wine Bar 4 years ago, Rich and Matt have been through many adversities. We never shut down during Covid, never applied for government money and never let a single employee go on unemployment. All of us here at Divine Naples believe the Constitution and the Bible are the two most important laws to abide by. Once you lose faith and give up your rights then you have nothing left. Please take a moment and celebrate this special day with this thought in mind. Happy 4th of July DIVINE PEOPLE!!!

the podcast is self convinced fresh ideas maybe detox whatever you wanna call it right so now is the time we feel life where are you trying to find this second breadth right yeah i’ve had ups and downs that’s my cue to get up time to get up now everybody knows everybody listening to this podcast on DNA delivered casino i grew up in a village somewhere we don’t say the country about interesting thinks that near objectives on on issues that are happening maybe they’ll be happening maybe people maybe help business owners because first cup of coffee i’m really sitting here having a cup of coffee and having this conversation so let’s talk about lifestyle what do you think about naples lifestyle general in in this ration- that is living working in places let’s talk about different countries that he experienced and let’s compare lifestyle here europe asia you chilling downey sunday you here divine april’s coffee shop probably feel good i wandered in this morning i felt i felt the actually i stumbled into your offi believe it or not in coffee shop i’ve been moving since six o’clock this morning and setting annabel helping and donating some coffee to local church so you all are going to be really interesting so you had to sell your business we don’t do any more details than that and you just end up jobless are you and some different places what do you think i agree it sounds fantastic so what what is your favorite country let’s start with this oh man that’s tough one time but anyways so italy yes can i ask about this coffee because it’s fantastic is it turkish because it has an interesting so eighteen sixty two first coffeehouse into all opened in in vienna they invented roasting machine and they strictly they strictly i sound like i’m selling something just have nothing for sale nothing nothing nothing to gain vis either so it’s twelve thirty this is my first cup of coffee in australia so the coffee you can tell comes from three countries the arabic countries we don’t know origin because they don’t yes so what’s your favorite preparation style well we jump from the lifestyle in italy to me and having coffee because of the stanford quality and quality of the podcast is one of the things too so we are happy to be able to serve you too coffee the coffee is roasted a us only are becoming and what that means is the coffee is the highest quality can probably find involved the very strong there’s no bitterness them up there so people can listen but you know we wanna keep the podcast interesting with different subjects and i want you to be part of the one podcast of ican we can thank you have a lot to offer and and you know your experience because he traveled the world and you fairly young you know it’s just amazing and i my opinion is pinks incredibly well done you it’s it’s so well done it was a little intimidating to jump on this i thought we would just hang out and talk about whatever so it’s nice well the couple of favorites i would say i’m attached to sicily so it’ll realize that’s part of italy but its place there’s no after two days there’s really you can you can taste a lot of fruits and and the coffee is very high quality so we are happy to have this coffee listener i’m sure mad you’ll be very happy to hear that you know he he put a lot of our survey that with me and we have over three hundred shows you’ll be eh just we can create a lot of all you for young business owners here or even older business owners here in naples florida so let’s just start with this subject get micro focused on things social like wine coffee i’ve been all about pizza recently but i i did several months traffic is julius minal we finally got the first brennan coffee shop which is jewish brandt they started yeah well yeah you you’ve ever been there yeah it’s a it’s a pretty amazing place so it has so much history because it has the african invasion the greeks were there for interesting we’re not on a different topic because lifestyle in italy is all about coffee that all that’s true that’s true so if he culture okay my version but of course i’m not following the perfect i’m not a perfect example because i don’t follow the instructions which comes to instruction manual and that is the daydream or you know talk to your friend but you need to turn off on and sometime i don’t because i had a lot of things here and you see me moving around so you know it’s an easy you said it yourself you don’t up here you’ll like it from now you’re going to be coming more often you’re going to get detected and plus we are happy you like our podcast finally have i you know you cannot surprise your knowledge of history then forget about turks turks are everywhere they kind of they they nailed holier say then is roasted in italy or austria but it’s family owned business five hundred employees generations so it’s really interesting going around looking at different coffees and i’d been ordering mock jato just makihata right and i would i would someone would serve me with like a lot mark jato different in fact i’m pulling up video here and you can see well i can see it but nobody else because well let me just yeah no too so i i i put a little extra effort there and that always count so yes my best preparation reserve i’m just you know for longer a sipping coffee shoe grounded and stays there for five minutes before it starts sinking so you know it’s it’s amazing coffee depends how i feel during today just you know sip the i’m on a little foam on top and i up and i’m a coffee nerd so i’ve been all over the world tasting coffee i go into these micro i i like to put a little foam in fact i like to do my phone with with this with heavy cream if possible so kind of gives a creamier flavor and there’s item so the whole thing but what do you think about this quality credible yeah in fact it’s it’s i almost don’t want to ruin the taste with any foam which is the the coffee that drape there in there but if i need a little jolt you know two three expressive during the day at that would be my thing sugar content so i can stay within my keto diet oh my god you know this is funny thing i i love everybody’s diet and everybody’s gluten free and everybody’s a long time and also the foresee italian so it’s just a fascinating what about turkish you forget about the turks were in there to make sure we are clearly we know our study you need to take fifteen and offer fifteen minutes when drinking julius mine and just you know just kind of you can star in the wall and just also have cafe culture so they are really experts in being in the moment that’s drip if i need to just you know get energy and experts writer i like espresso macchiato version of it okay so it depends on the coffee so let’s say we have these vena blend that is the drip and i love because it’s very smooth he can drink this day and sometime i have to all right let’s go to the subject of the italian lifestyle what is i’ll talk to you in that country well land cultures and italian italy france spain shop and just fascinating it’s when they see you they stop thinking their full attention to you of course he thought he doesn’t have been so they roast coffee because they know they have a lot of good women there so shortsighted parsley in italy and partially in to stay on the break because i drink too much of it and the espresso being just straight express all you know it’s amazing the kremlin top you you know some lemon cellos or something like this and by the end of that four to six hours you really know that person within a day you really have a relationship which is different than here where isn’t that and and the f- fasting wherever you go everybody does all of things now hurricane comes and public is empty how that happens so they they value one on one communication they love to bump into each other and the town square or the coffee anything for one hundred percent short on do one or two and that’s my thing from very long time because i want to disappoint anybody and i can say you know i did it next or something and you just bump into each other again and just just you know the connection is there you don’t lose the friendship and that’s that’s just what i miss a lot of times i don’t you wanna so busy about where we’re heading well this is fantastic you know i really liked what he saying because i miss europe and this is one of the things we i miss example i have a lot of italian frontier and one of them whose name is luca he used to be managed to in milano milano everybody else familiar envy just come on it’s just amazing when when you realize you know people are able and capable of doing these things but but here is everything on run and and i was sort of like what like this is not a mock jato right i didn’t understand there was a difference between a espresso mark jato in a lot to mock yet complete and you never know where that day might lead you might be invited to lunch and ended up at someone’s home for four to six hours just eating and drinking wine and ended up with became to be really good friends and you know we had a lot of conversations and things and then he left milan on disappear for a little bit and he knew be opening you know when we liked the food we go then in summary and it should be ready for a swimming suit then then he started listening you still you know getting little bit skinner important they just stop and lifestyle and you just grab a coffee in the first gulf she’ll be erna corner you sit there for hours just catching up and i just have chills just seen a lot of times this culture is more you know like self oriented and more agenda there are business related and things around for a little bit and it’s nice to have friends that he can have a conversation and you know he’s honest you know that’s what i missed and for example you know gluten gluten that and then home they eat chips and the the toast and because they have to liquidate it i don’t think they will throw it away so you know i like that morning and you know what what what is the for example the breakfast of catania the city catania in i don’t know i know all the bottle water seems to whatever you buy for hurricane preparation then you have six months and everybody so everybody comes to the restaurants and highest you know the europeans i’m from europe yes we europeans are

v. publicly say we are not a shame of the are like sponges you’ve part of the family you feel it just because they hug you so you know so strong and and and you know even if you don’t see him for six months you know he rhodesia’s been talking about this in a meeting croissant is my breakfast after twelve o’clock right and the first coffee so i’ve been running on fumes holman up catania and double checking that is not a separate place from the catania that i know which is in sicily in is in fact sicily yeah that’s fantastic yeah so amos castle in catania that i toured once and it’s really an incredible place so interesting you mentioned that right so now we learn said very somebody can benefit not always have benefit you benefit long run i always say i i run marathon you know it’s not a sprint because we’re going to be here about you you’ll of coffee you like traveling your favorite lifestyle listening italy right one of the favorites yes sicily as you go south just just some you don’t see somebody for a year or something you hit them on on the street and and it’s true friend and you know of course it in italy things get less fancy but people become more friendly i believe and it’s funny i think maybe the same is true in found us you know in catania but it’s really their their national work on that the city breakfast and we’re going to be having those breakfast items i’m in travel i travel in united states and you know i don’t know i don’t know if i agree completely saying but you know there’s a lot of we thought imprint on introduce you so make sure you you know you know some of the good guys here and you can feel a little bit of italy here too yes be find people friendly in many places but the mixed of the people that we have here in this city it’s it’s kind of if you want named by cities in here in the coffee shops or we can kind of have the connection with the europe because these european job with the quality of the coffee and also we feel like a lot of the conversations are that honest you know just a lot of agenda you know i don’t know i don’t want nothing negative but there’s the united states in some ways you mean south or north yes as you come south of the united states things become less fancy but people become more warm and welcoming and friends oh you’re gonna be doing a lot of different coffees here we’re going to be doing touchier coffee he starts a couple couple there’s a lot of ideas we will bring in and we will you know people because it can meet really interesting people here in this coffee shop sure you already did right absolutely what again i was just looking you find him here to florida is not part of the south i should’ve clarified goodness i hate to get you on the corner and inexpensively in italy yeah you want to live inexpensively wanna spend very little money and enjoy life when how long before he’s like like tom back and forth quite a bit so business i’ve never done business there now i try to do my business there’s a saying they have in south america that says earned they need than others but if he’d have business here people come from all the different parts of the wall and you just have to understand all of them before you start making business you know thinks caused and how much less they can be do certain things that’s a great point usually when i go to a place for the first time just book a hotel through like kayak or flat in sicily in most small oceanside towns for three to five hundred dollars per month so it’s just i mean it’s just really out how to live in and then you want to spend that money in places that are less expensive like latin countries like spain france italy very inexpensive outside the major cities you can rent italy so you spend how much time did you spend only total in my life probably about a year in different places throughout italy i come back oh you know travelocity or something so i’m not gonna save a lot of money on the first time but as i get to know the area i can bounce around easily see where in general so you’d probably say on on cuba’s young southern must step exactly so that’s most friendly there when you travel you know just like you say you go south but the humidity for minnesota and i find them very friendly there’s just amazing what what what part i wanna live in usually it’s not the most expensive area but i wanna live kind of where the young hip people are so normally i’ll book a hotel near hi there and that’ll be my starting point then i’ll i’ll start walking around talking to people and find out oh the better cheaper more young hip area is one town one part over lers spend pesos oh that’s interesting yeah i mean if you can make money online or you can make money in the continental united states you’re you’re better off you’d be surprised you do know what eder breakfast no surprise that crosstown ham and cheese and you will say what here’s my hack my travel hack which is i look for an h.
23:53 – 45:30
m. what store it’s like a clothing store and you can get an airbnb there for like twenty dollars a day or something like that and it’s even it’s like even better to live in it would be like living in times square in new york probably not the best place but maybe so better neighborhood or east village right and i can see your personality doesn’t you know it’s not a problem for you to talk to people and it’s just one of the things stickers on their windows every business and they seem to all have perfect five star review all like five hundred reviews so i don’t know if there’s like a russian click farm that they’re hiring have we just start conversation about anything any subject and and when you open them up i mean those those are the real savings you know those are weapons right there st down and you walk a little extra but there’s a big savings yeah tripadvisor especially in europe seems to be everybody has trip advisor an and ATM’s generally located in the central central part of the city’s i’ll start an h. m. and i’ll try to find a hotel nearby northeastern state because most people here are migrants from other places you’re right now i try to retire to go back to up has a european feel when you walk in maybe even from the street it’s obvious that this is a european sensibility you have going here really what is the first calvin combined his bike he had a couple of espressos and just be laughing you know the the the onus hawks you get from these people’s like you know he’s like you monday and everything uncontrolled like month what’s that yeah how long it took you to have everything like the spending under control a lot of times you know you have to ask people amino say it’s it’s a little different southern florida is way different than for example miami in west palm beach in boca raton well you know it’s it’s hard to say european feeling oxen there’s something that you feel as soon as you look at the front restaurant my theory is that when you are drawn eh when you walk in yes i could give a couple of examples or stories where i think that this is where i’ve become our gotten this belief from the business here it’s it’s kind of difficult to get around because if you do business and you live with somebody you get that culture in your head do you understand how people think what you and then just got to figure it out there’s no manual go to this country do this do that what i’m saying oh how long it took you before he figured out this is where you’re going to be for next year and how much listen we we we kind of share secrets in websites everything would be sa- local experiencing best places for the beach and things of that nature but i know how you know how to how we end up in i have a theory about this coffee culture meeting great people that you mentioned okay go ahead well first of all i have to give you kudos because your particular copy the reason why we wanted to do this because the processing you have in in your head then how we process the thoughts and and put them in the world is just amazing so based on a feeling to a place you’ll meet people who have the same vibration look at you now this is this is the gold coming out to to get these reviews or what but tripadvisor doesn’t really help much when you’re traveling and yelp is virtually nonexistent in most parts of europe yeah so anyway did you find they’re not may may not be always the right decision to do you know locals will always the truth because or we just followed him right there just followed some local agency vertigo for for beer worried they go to you know for fun and that’s the best way to do it so so then you figured it out and you move to another street right maybe you know video statements but the south ends with georgia and alabama oh i see that’s what he meant it as that is correct as florida is considered the thing is from st while you have the red umbrellas and you have a distinct clean sort of design but there’s something and he’ll leave and people are sitting here coffee shop and this is going to be very interesting yes i agree with you a hundred percent i think about this but you know what this is absolutely amazing thought he bringing in so if you see people sitting here they probably gonna feel saying the city and you go like okay what would you have dinner today you ask some of the locals you know what i mean that’s that’s how we find best restaurants tripadvisor and older older you know attractions you know just knowing you can talk to anybody about anything and people feel comfortable they open up and they tell you the secrets he’s almost like us here you know we we don’t you don’t have to have from sorta this very warm people but from example people from new york your new jersey there’s just different personalities was working on line and i was able to fortunate i wanted to learn tango dancing okay i had a cousin that had moved there who had become a professional would you like to hear one of course okay i don’t even breathe right now i’m ready okay so i was living in buenos aires argentina again also serving green juice like sort of like organic juices anyway one day this i go there i’m half asleep i haven’t had any caffeine and apartment bleaker street so i go into this this coffee shop or juice shop order a drink and i’m standing on the corner trying to figure out my bearing where’s my spot gonna be i find this organic place it’s got again green juice coffee whatever a couple of blocks away from the is there was one particular cafe that stood out to me the vibe of it felt very organic felt well put together so i started going to this cafe thing i muttered to her like so where you’re from or something like that and she looks at me and she could just tell my energy was like toxic i was just like you know nervous standing in line in front of me was one of the most beautiful women i’ve ever seen in my life looks like sort of like an a south american angelina jolie wow august so quickly within a week i was moved out of the hotel and into an airbnb in this area anyway the first thing i do when i settle into a neighborhood is looked for copy shop cafe where we’re going to be my one or two or three places i’m gonna stop in and get my coffee in the mornings so looking at cafe ended up the place called palermo soho or palermo hollywood was where all the young hip kind of less expensive but really modern and cool young people were new york state in manhattan so anyway i’m wondering around manhattan a year and a half later what’s the first thing i do go for a coffee shop right try to find i didn’t see the girl again a year and a half goes by and i end up doing okay i do this apartment swab from the wchs where am i know manhattan’s kind of kind of medicine all around me and there’s a girl standing on the corner she turned she says hey you look like you’re lost really from philadelphia so she was she was american and she got her drink and i got my drink in there were sort of energy but it was it was awkward and then she got it buddy of mine who had an apartment in the west village manhattan he wanted to stay in in my apartment in in hawaii so he came from months date in hawaii and you know wasn’t fully awake and she kind of looked at me kind of uneasily in sort of answered me with a one word answer which was action orthodoxy and left and right before she got into a taxi she turned and looked at me and then left never to be seen again so i go back until my cousin that night and yup i’m lost grandma she says i’m heading this way to chelsea market do you want to just walk with me a little bit and i’m i’m sort of disoriented so i say sure she american country i’m i’m worried for her safety a little bit that’s what i’m wondering yes and she’s she does she’s there right now actually she’s back and forth all the time i was issue frozen and my tracks probably very moment i cannot imagine yeah no coffee yet oh okay yeah so i’m standing there trying to think of something lucky you yeah so i freeze i’m going like oh god i gotta say something right but i i couldn’t think of anything to say this woman you couldn’t think anything’s say couldn’t think of any weren’t in argentina a year and a half ago where you and she froze kidding me and she said how did you know that and i said were you in a coffee shop like you know in the middle of palermo soho and cause i’m starting to realize this is she looks a lot like this girl at this girl in the coffee shop it was weird you know i was bummed out because i didn’t say the right thing right and since you okay interesting whatever so i ended up staying in argentina for four months they’re all over the place she’s telling me the story of how she worked at this bar and now she’s become spiritual teacher and she travels all over the world and wish we did a shot of jack daniels and we’re sitting there we’re going to go to chelsea market next i look over at her and i go look familiar we met and on the way to the market because i got to pick up my check do you wanna come with me so i said sure so i stopped into this bar with her and she said it was the bar in central and the worst it was like town it’s like times square new york so it was great it looked like from the map leclerc a great place to be but go to a city like i said i booked the hotel right in the in the central sorry your cousin is a female or mutiple blonde girl living in the city he goes how the hell did you know i was in argentina’s freaking me out who are you and i said i think we met and i kind of told her about the story about meeting this girl she goes oh my god they created the movie coyote ugly really do you ever heard of this scene yes so it’s called something else but anyway it was the actual original place that was it had thinks that that happened to you there’s no logical explanation for this i don’t know i think i have my own explanation i don’t know if it’s logical looks attractive but i didn’t wanna look her up and down you know what i mean so i just kind of walked with her and we were talking and she sounded interesting and she said hey i wanna stop into this bar inc in naples there may be a handful less than five of places that have this sort of operation and if you keep going to these places they draw in the same type of people maybe there’s only a few really statistically there’s not that many places and and these people continue to find their coffee shop and their juice bar and they keep all but but my theory is there are fewer of these places like like an energy spots i would say places that have this particular vibration than we think said she looks at me funny so i don’t think so so we hang out a little more have one more drink i look over and go i know i know we’ve met and i said had to have couple drinks to get your memory back what happened to her beauty first of all what i wondering and secondly like you know it’s just like this is this is your life it difficult pass that has gone on but other than that i think any one who’s immigrated from a different country has a lot of optimism so i still have to give you an eight point five okay okay why eastern european there’s a real ism that you know there’s some there’s some sort of sense of the the hard the hard ah positively from one to ten would still positively well there’s a little bit of eastern european pessimism so i will give you an eight point five the todd there is okay so if the energy what kind of energy field here i if i had to summer joining these places so they’re crisscrossing each other more than they think that’s that’s my law this just be on our understanding but this is exactly wh- why won’t do this because things are happening in your life are not cannot explain them i just have the feeling is the energy i felt when i walked in here i would say authenticity would be the word that comes to mind okay there’s interesting and if you have you know you meeting somebody in the in the city of south america were you just like going to learn tangle and north about you know if you meeting people in saint places they probably feel the same veil you’d probably have same processing thoughts the way you do and they may be there’s a sense of an i would call it a no bullshit happiness is the feeling of authenticity that comes the radiates from this place and from you well that’s all from me you know for something anita no you’re around and she comes to you and offer us help that’s i mean tell me more what happened to her have same goals like you do and maybe that’s why you feel comfortable around that places because you know people energize you and positive people attract positive people ah i see the world through a different filters right and i still this from scott adams who’s the creator of dilbert have you heard of him know these things one book is how to fail at everything and still succeed i believe and he’s just coming out with a new book now and he was one of the only people to predict trump would win the election you has over the course of his life seeing the world through different filters and over time he upgrades his filters at the current he’s seeing the world through what he calls a persuasion had he’s sort of like a an influence or now and he he’s an expert in the art of persuasion and he’s written several books and though he is not a republican he thought trump was very persuasive and he’s an expert in persuasion so in his book or one of his books he talks about filters so he sir can you describe precision he sees the world and i i see the world so slow slightly different filter but his filter is that he can predict the future the reason why you’re seeing them maybe there’s a reason why they coming here maybe you should discover this and let me start looking into this is interesting thought and the fact that story that was you i remember it she goes what was with you that morning your energy was completely all on hold on i need to stop it here hold him so you telling me you really well i think you that’s nice compliment i didn’t get a summary on one-sentence like this ever before so that’s kind of new okay well things in life and maybe mutilating for another woman in different parts of all very meet her again but you know yeah it was yeah so i you wanna call us pregnancy wherever this but this interesting interesting subject i love this because you know you more most probably light right and this and then you’re on how later you meet that person on on the streets of new york or are you just exchange for month and you’re looking for you and now i’ve upgraded it to believe that in this is not we’ll there will be a new upgrade at some point but the most best newest best thinking is that history okay and so he sees the world through persuasion filter prior to that he saw the world through like an atheism filter through basically nothing means anything drawn into these environment certain types of environments have similar vibrations meaning that their brains are firing off on different patterns that are similar we are attracted to those who have similar endorphins firing in our brains so if you are in similar vibration state in your brain certain certain number ratio of endorphins and that for example if you have a positive attitude your business is going well your body is fit you have a high amount of they met when you visit this in past few interesting people here in the same energy you know just the people on the same thune and then me we may be attracted to one another energy and that’s what i think is going on in these copy shops like the from the story i told it’s that people who were house of endorphins so you’ll be attracted to people who have the same amount of endorphins this is why people who like go to yoga studios seem to want to hang out together and people who go to cocktail we’re floating around in this ball this big blue ball and you know live the best life possible while you’re here have fun before that he’s maybe saw that operating on different levels of endorphins so it’s like the healthier we can make our brains the higher levels we can rise to in terms of our peer groups okay bars are sort of on a different vibration they they kind of congregate but it’s not so much spiritual as in my in my filter as it is that were the reason why you guys are meant to dimes in two different places devolved well that particular time yes it did feel like that for the next couple of hours we walked the city together we had this really strong connection free as he’s gotten older for example well my filter has been upgraded also i used to believe in sort of a spiritual energy okay like a vibration filter okay okay and yeah so i probably share or i mean i don’t wanna know world through a alien filter where he thought we were dropped in by aliens and before that he saw the world through a religious filter so he’s upgraded his filter like him or not he’s persuasive right so he saw the person he’s he’s he says the trump maybe one of the handful five most persuasive people ever well from what happened after the coyote bar not with the with the girl i mean how did you are you in contact with her because i believe need to process that information i responded but you know it’s interesting obviously hope you’re gonna get more so you know same minded people but i i’m sure you’re by saying who what people are what companies are most persuasive okay so you could say okay hillary clinton is less persuasive than donald trump negative people trek negative people so there’s a place for everyone i’m sure it did and if i start watching this if you see people coming back maybe there’s coming yourself is that right right so now i’m trying to level up again so i was twenty years in business for myself in different ways and now i’m looking for the next they experienced now he ended up in naples here and europe programming yourself is this the right environment for you to do this i haven’t decided yet the time and i mean did you do use yourself experience right so i think that high performing people like to are always looking for that next newest so they get bored like people who said yes hi challenging but achievable goals and achieve a high frequency of this goals sure and then and just kind of you know this is how you wanna be absolutely i think of the brain as a computer so we can uninstall the old software and install new software there was a point in my life where i i i said to you off mike i’d never been depressed so i cannot judge people and how they just say okay and i’m happy let’s shoot for mars so it could be an entrepreneur could be an athlete it could be someone who’s like me i’m i’m more of a lifestyle entrepreneur off wear next newest upgrade wanna level up the software you know what i mean high performing people that means people that you know achieve what they put her as a goal and then large corporation american company and you know it’s just you get this this energy and you wanna move we want to be moving people realize the internet is here and it’s gonna stay so they take a little bit more seriously but you know it’s still not enough and i think i feel and how it is to be depressed because this is something i don’t know like i never use drugs so i cannot really jut somebody using drugs or smoke i never but it seems like a it’s a wonderful environment for someone who wants to focus and doesn’t want much distraction this study at uh-huh so my goal wasn’t to go make a billion dollars but i wanted to have you know three times more than my spending at all times coming in okay from whatever business i was involved you know fresh minded and go getters that really you know make up in the morning and and just crushing it twenty four seven and you’re right in miami there’s is that there’s a lot of entrepreneurial positive forward moving energy in miami but there’s also a lot of distraction in miami you know the funding you’re saying this i somehow somehow question myself this is the right place i wanna be rest of you know my youth say because i came from big city i used to work for l.
45:30 – 57:03
here in a business general is kind of interesting because and that’s my opinion strictly you know now is changing because some sort of upgrade what what what inspires me what interests me what’s the next level so let’s just say this we talk about your your you know somehow a little bit okay so you know it it just i can tell it’s bothers me like when somebody smoke in my face so i just i don’t like the smell of it so that’s the only thing but if that’s how i see it so so how you can you i mean if you let’s say if you the yoga guy and you don’t wanna be anymore just gonna be straight to cook the to describe it i just want to keep going it’s just you know something just driving me more than that that need or want to be on the beach i nobody smokes or not i don’t judge the people are still choice and i just wanna say you know when when i was here few years is wendy never seen the star wars i never you know some of the thinks what normal people do i don’t because i’m not abnormal scott adams is sort of a talking head last time on the beach you know when was the last year i don’t even i mean really i don’t even know whenever swimming last time seriously it’s just the debris komo asked me if i’ve ever fishing i was never under both fishing i live twenty three years and there was never fishing i mean just things you wanna develop you wanna create you want to be surrounded by people that that have you know say mind and then you come here and ever chills that just the lifestyle and that was always how my comfort zone okay so you know now did you get to the point you settle down enables now you are the point when european if you wanna do something and and this is perfect place for for life family life and a lot of benefits but if you really wanna be having career and working for a company the following something some some kind of trend of standard and and by following you he’s getting behind anybody so there’s not enough people that that is wonderful place and i don’t have time for it or i don’t create i’m for it but i just have so much in me to achieve something or create something i don’t even know how more hunger and maybe even different energy for it but here it’s just seems like if somebody can work just four days a week they will chill on the beach for three days as me when i was because i i feel say and by me keep going it’s kinda funny because a lot of times even you know look at the polls purdue i know a lot of times on the weekends they go they hang up on boats and they do stuff it’s just really you know i don’t know i mean people think i’m weird but that’s okay is there some time i go there i do live on facebook guide take pictures and that’s about it i don’t even think my shoes off you know it’s just like it’s embarrassing to say we live in it’s we post under divine apples you know facebook video doing the coffee shop a lot of times i helped working night and every time i started i always it’s gonna be really difficult in this city because there’s not many companies they can provide you with that of new york and washington DC and andorra places will probably more but you know then reason and just brings new new views on things is just sort of rushing you know she just really interesting because when you when you live here for you know few years you’ve kind of a there’s a there’s attention from all this surrounding i don’t know what that is but i mean do you finding enough people that are virus or same energy of fragrances you i would say that would be one of the drawbacks i agree with a lot of what you said naples is sort of like a warm bath it feels amazing and it’s relaxing but you don’t wanna stay in too long in your travels and you know and stuff he experienced you know on on different countries amazing so thank you you know we need somebody like this just shut me down don’t make me based on how did you start how did you start your entrepreneurial journey i’m curious you have so much different in father that that is very that actually i have to say that he was he was maybe it’s time to get this i’m i’m talking for five minutes you know describing something you can put nicely and beautifully in when i was maybe twelve thirteen wow first of all a lot to do with the life i live as a teenager julie right and the lifestyle that that that time was it was just very different cultures different people and and to me it’s just were we missing if you get in one place for too long you just kind of then you’d never leave and maybe you say that wchs you can get dorm in a lot of things you know you just you just numb you don’t receive or your brain doesn’t work like when he outside and you certainly said you know not a shift i love working night i have no competition because all of these leagues i just love this thing you know it’s just like if you think about you only worse in farming so for seven hundred years we have we had properties and lands and stuff like that and always farming and farming very opinionated and a lot of times end up in jail for that because that’s what the system did and then later on i found out the communist actually killed my grandfather and they took everything from from our family and uh-huh meeting interesting people that come from outside just get like you chill down i have opinion travel the world and you know have have just the story apar- till you’re gonna stuck to cook i mean he’s there possibility to sir programmers serve all you just heard that from born being born or the way how you live your life and board my first bike which was kind of strange because there were no to manila toma bills not many bikes so not too many i’m too old to travel i’m too he’s never true but you know just the fact that you bringing your views and your europeans here that you collect them so just the whole drive and everything that he put in his life i think i got those jeans and the DNA yes you know if you met some policemen it was it was bad luck or something happened so me twelve year old on a bike and moving in going on it’s amazing like in the history like when did i start when when did you think to okay let me just ask this question since this this whole podcast started being in uh-huh podcast begins and ends so no let’s say there’s a did you guys are you staying in kentucky lower now i i don’t speak with her anymore how can be moving because you know of course you don’t wanna go certain places so but i was twelve years old i made money by helping somebody rewards when they were like warm serious package it up and put it in a little bow for you yeah thank you that’s that’s perfect that’s perfect then how communist countries us thanks so we were throwing stuff over the river and trading like and i started you’re so they killed him and took everything away my father was three so he literally didn’t know didn’t know his his father and he put himself in self he’s not the most sexy job into all you know is very hard and we live in one around and my grandfather didn’t wanna give it to the community round and start traveling and start you know start figuring it out then i start throwing two different country the merchandise and we start tango dancer so i i wanted to check in to make sure she was doing okay down there and also just explore the city so the first thing i do tools and it just grew and grew and grew and then communist fell and i was already known so just continue and bigger events and i ended up in the doing i just make sure you know it’s always stays in limits but i always want explore wants to do something so in order to do this in communist country you need to be rating so i was living in a different country and and and we didn’t have certain things in our country they had more of that and we we had something they didn’t have like if you wanna be free you need to be able to be moving and bosses and you know all this the government owned the transportation is not perfect rating tapes because we didn’t have music so i still trading thanks for coffee and i became to be DJ because i had so much music and in the school they did this interesting interesting time now bringing them so i start being DJ so by like fourteen thirteen fourteen i was already DJ we have you would just wondered i’m taking over i’m interviewing okay so i go back i go back is there that i never stopped and when i was twelve my parents were divorced than in when i was i actually started oh you know i don’t want to say the country but the let’s say i live in new communist country i mean you can figure out by right but i’m not gonna say which country i his farm and everything he had because he had he was the only one had a tractor in the ara and they needed it after they were nobody to pay you for it but this is like ever vince they was having session for our session of music for three different from very early age that he will get everything back and that’s how lift through the commune so just imagine living forty some years life that kind of exploring i never listened to anyone i never listened to my mother and you know i didn’t have no fodder so i did whatever i wanted in limits i never got in trouble never are are forty five years life that you know you don’t have what belongs to you and somebody else had that and then later on you know he got everything back gotcha was unheard of yeah so so i started you know this started like little business which i didn’t get paid for because you know events like for seven eight hundred people and there was over weakened that’s yeah that that that was that was interesting amazing then i started getting paid for red and just an open first business when i turned eighteen next day after my birthday i was able to like legally open business i just went to uh-huh that’s just the always very optimistic person hero living life in communism we’ve become to be one so i went to the government and you know did wherever to do and and i remember when i said to my mother i’m gonna open a business and she says what is that i said well that’s you can do not have the works if somebody can refer self and she said that’s what you need this they walked in a bank vicious like a suitcase or some of them which shoe boxes and they fill those things with the money and went home and they were sitting chauvinism safety safety and this is how ex exactly the whole economy started you can walk i mean i have friends they did and i picked up five different companies so i selected very carefully the products you know something i don’t remember exactly what aren’t table and he’s like okay so now the money would i’m going to do some of them you know didn’t do the right thing and they like open business and failed and you know i never travelled by bus never scheduled anything i just kept going and always whenever i end up ivan inside the door and salt as how it was just the interesting to to think about right now that that the from beginning of my life you know i always an and i never took the and i never did this because i never crossed my mind is this easy road and i never picked easy road i always pick the harder and can mean thinks i do and just jump on the street he jake and just end up in the city and always sold and somehow sometime i got home night depends sir eighty nine amazing i heard about the black markets opening up into white markets during that time i studied this in school make me start talking about stuff i never talk about amazing what do you do to me nothing man just have more coffee yeah so i start handmade so some artist made three d.
57:03 – 77:06
map and that was displayed on different parts of the city and it was like an art and on those little shop ice cream store or you know what you probably gonna need choon have millions so why don’t they have millions and a national okay let’s good idea just me rau- entrepeneurship at its best it’s the best kind yeah but you know it just seems to me like if i will just go to the bank like everybody else and say hey parts they made those businesses that paid more bigger so they send out you know so in this whole graphic thing and there was interesting idea it because if you if you choose the easy way there’s much bigger chance you’re gonna fail and you you’re not going to learn anything guard no car no bicycle i just every morning i just look at a map and i pointed fingers this is where i’m going to go and i have backpack just make it look like i kept the money but some of the operating at the now but it was literally that easy to come to the bank and say hey i want to open a business and can i get some money going from businesses to businesses and i always ask what they do and you know opposite let me sell it for you right so because i have no problem to talk to people i mean it can nobody else can replicate them and that’s like to my heart and right now for instance would doing here it’s it’s all not a product was t shirts not a product like cleaning products and whatever i had had like five different companies imprisoning no business imagine you you know like everything’s owned by government and then two weeks later nothing is owned by government and if you wanna bread you need to find somebody who’s gonna bake it because it’s no more bakery the whole idea of this whole concept and even this podcast we doing right now is different and i’m glad to be doing it because you know people let’s just let’s agree in older thrice whoever but one of them was map like an advertisement my because they were doing some kind of three d map was way ahead of the times but easy and shortcut and one person oh we had this discussion with one of my friend and and she said you know that’s that’s good morning my name is margot wilson i would like to open business can i get some two million dollars on this what are you going to do i’m just going to open i started so this eighty nine that’s i mean i started basically eighty four maybe incredible this is how it started because if you choose the hardaway then then you know you’re going to get better and you’re going to get better than anybody else because experiences that you’re gonna have throughout the process really i have a couple of points that i am pulling away from your story which was amazing thank you i know that was a legendary time provocative the opportunity was on unbelievable if you had some sense of business and you showed up and and the way people spoke about that part of the world and when i say that part of the world i mean the former soviet union that part of the world but i’m not from russia as you for second i never heard that none of that you know just just everything’s different divine apples dot com is different i mean i kind of explained to you uh so so you know those people yesterday they didn’t meet the right time and the right moment and the right place to really know you so now they’re clueless will you truly are and when you come to the coffee shop have this conversation i heard you talking to marvin the local artists people in the street and you don’t know anything about him if they answering with a one word answer and perfect example you just told me now let me just continue to do i don’t wanna bore anybody here but you know it’s just i started selling for five different companies and kind of the hard way and even the coffee shop even menu the items on the breakfast you know we were thinking about all of that the very long time and i’m from russia despite could be but he doesn’t so that part of the world in the eighties was and i’m gonna say something yesterday night even and you just didn’t want to be alone and you end up in a bar we don’t gonna give them plug but you know you end up in bars sitting there loss and in the works where i knew some of them and one of them was ever employee has to be given soap unit at the right moment what he can learn what he can you know and you can have really different feeling from that human being or exchange and it’s amazing food so i i start picking up this big factories right so we have some of the factories five thousand employees ten thousand employees so other figured it out not using strategies right and i was sending this cleaning product and by government government had still some kind of old having this conversation and and kind of exposing myself a little bit my boss and my experiences is is just like we all are people we all have something and in place in certain like labor laws and stuff like that so i was like okay so i have this cleaning product which is basically soap right and i know that today over africa of initial i mean it sounds crazy right people say it’s too dangerous as if you’re a young man on the rise and you don’t know exactly we could easily just say okay we do pancakes and sausages everybody does that he’s fine everybody’s they’re disorganized easy you come here you see the menu and you’re gonna say okay let me think because i already heard somebody else at the problem if not the maybe just enrich people with the experiences we have through but you know it’s interesting you mean giving no samples immediately they were telling me everything they were telling me is in charge of this and this and that you know and normally nobody’s talking a- and if we can share information they can we can share to the experiences and we can share somehow that you know what we go through in life maybe for a future podcast i would love to hear your opinion on how you would do things over again knowing now knowing then what you know now every employee has to get one right so i don’t go to the factories and try to sell that because one sale was just taking cover me we’re just growing like mushrooms you know and you market everything is now open and people didn’t know what to do with that was just really interesting hearts explain because and i got to the point where i get smart so you know sunning well maybe it was the moment when i get smart maybe you know i get to the point where i stood nicely to security and give them anything so i wrote down everything and then went to dr did same thing and then went home try to doc them from inside so i went to the gate and you know those people on the gate what do you call them the security security so i started save some cash and so i had this author form and and i put the cash underneath of the second page and the you know what looking looking back to all this and having knowledge and information that i have today and sure grew up in this country you know i i mean i came you know sometimes people just don’t feel like talking about their pasta and stuff like that you just need to be in the moment and and it’s interesting if you can meet somebody good morning formation of all these people you know by just asking around and then one day i just went inside and here’s how i did i mean it was i for three hours almost you guys were pumping you know what i’m saying that the exchange here was so magical i didn’t i i was just whoa i wish for somebody to do this nevertheless i came to the to the first factory and i and what opportunities you would have targeted with all of that access to capital in a fresh brand new country opening up but anyway that’s no this is good now at that that particular time like you were saying they were opening businesses like crazy they were giving money away to start businesses like crazy this was a legendary where that’s happening not the most cautious but i knew the whole country was going through this change so i had to be creative just really quick i how to get to those factories so you know event i to observe multi and then i was brave enough to one of the things was like a ajax like the powder you clean dishes with sure so i had one of those and where you want to be and you want to be in a in a wild wild west atmosphere africa right now is going to be digitally let’s get let’s get out of here no i’m telling you because he and and she said clinic comeback and then we made or if you can clean so i was i was on a bathroom for three hours some people do a registered and just keep an had twenty years from now against the bill to happen to this guy and maybe if i do this did that you know this will help me down dirty hands but this is very good product you know it’s made in our country it’s it’s made by our hammocks or this just just said what is this i said well this can clean anything you know hard stones and everything she and she said to me okay there’s a we make coffee this uh-huh just receiving old any information and ideas you were throwing away in a in a and everything was just amazing so what i want to say is take time because i want to throw in a couple of bullet points of things i heard you say which because you you’ve touched on a couple of fascinating topics but please keep going what did you do you went under the and says look i have this cleaning product for the hands and i would like to offer to you i mean of course i cannot demonstrate because no nobody air in the offices it’s another left personnel alright start talking to you and you just as we’re not in the mood talk to anybody and then kaos bar steakhouse bar upscale stay governor anything and we will make it over and she said well you know i’m ready to go home i said well i’ve traveled fifty kilometers here too kinda give her the benefit of the product and then she said what else do you have i said well and i thought beginning i have five items five products and that’s not picking him up for my backpack and it up and there was so much settlement there was like a one centimeter like maybe quarter of inch of of settlement like the heart stone uh i don’t know maybe three thousand dollars wow that was huge huge order yes and and she said to me oh to demonstrate we have a good product and all this she said okay i’ll stay over so we did order and the way how are really daughter was you know she she ordered nevertheless so i showed up the week later just make sure the order came she was happy you know and i said to her would you the cleaning thing it was so hard to cinnamon out and both probably around four o’clock and i finally cleaned up money there and you know i flip the page and i said to her well if you sign this paper and we can add stuff to order you know then favor if you can call somebody else into the auto factory next to you you know somebody there and we can place the order i make should the order with her on seven pilots and seven policy was like a lot of products i don’t even remember what was the dollar amount value if you had to guess who believable that’s my answer to you’ll niaz go start business that’s what i did a couple of bullet points that pop up to me are two maybe we can discuss describe today i’m thinking of is very hard to describe how divorce and is you know this countries in places nevertheless came to there and and talking to this lady the the thanks for the hands because she had to so it was five thousand items and the second page instead of carbon copy i put cars which were working for the company and the and the owner of the company which you’re producing this cleaning products call me are you taking care of so she did she go and i went to the auto factory i may not order there and this is how i started the business he’s in eastern europe that had to be like you could buy like a car or a house for that or something like that three thousand dollars while it was more than i mean it can do a lot of things car and and and you’re gonna have whole country for yourself because i fired everybody so there’s always started i don’t think the average american has any idea what it’s like to live other places not to mention how lucky we are with with the things that we link it comes from here and they’re true geniuses on this not necessarily the products that you have strong brand are good or strong products you know just doing working for one company so vinai produced that month the auto i sold more than three full-time cells people form clean uniform and some order of products once a month and that was the communism kind of you know sitting still coffee what do you call it the the metal thing you make coffee tea kettle cuddle yes she said look at that and kenneth clean it so i opened the make educated purchases before somebody’s been dollars the they usually educate themselves before they do that if it’s cars jeans in a future episode or what was it like to live in a communist country period and then also when the change happened what was the change like sister diamond carbon copies you know they used to do for you know no mobile phones no pagers no none none of that i mean he’s just i if you wanna make a phone call to somebody rents because in europe for instance the people don’t really care about a lot of brands they care more about the you know the quality because people i will say cultures their latin cultures are black belts their absolute experts at living in the moment la dolch evita right tayfun we we had no other ways and pay on was like one you know the phone booth per village on field i’m in the city very hard aim items that everyone around you has how about starting to try you know instead of doing coffee maybe add ice cream or gelato or could you and then you see them recoil like go and buy it make that move but when they do they feel comfortable they know they did the right decision they don’t doubt and dave or do they never do garage sales because yeah yeah and she goes like any cleaner i hardly could put my hand in it she said well there’s water in the bathroom right it was one o’clock for example new greek yogurt shabani you’re serious just just the experts on the branding and that is also related to people how the consumer so like the good life it’s we’re not that great in the united states at slowing down and being with each other in the moment and enjoying the this this copy will stay here with you just you just look at it and she said okay let’s review again to order so she i basically closed but then as we get to know each other better he will or she will complain my businesses going down the economy’s not good m- occurrence the currency is not healthy american attention on innovation the iphone six seven eight nine ten we have to have a new iphone every year there’s a something about american culture that makes us whatever it is they always they’re not impulsive buyers you know there are more like a educated buyers and takes time for them to really a special maybe we should consider selling something different than the two people that are on your within the person on your left in the person on your right instead of offering the exact same iphone which i technically bought this new to me i bought it this year in april but the fact is i don’t really need those shiny things and i’m not a person of material stuff same exact thing for the same exact price and the cafe owner will be happy and personal and take the time to get to know me want to improve improve improve and change and latin culture off and i think the focus is on enjoying in the joining the moment and both things we can learn from both things and i still was not affected enough to change DNA and i did i have to have everything and latest things so you know i come outside we just think sparky and the come to her office and she looked at me and she said i thought you left i said no he told me to call you you know i’d rather do something else instead of the money then then spend them on something i don’t even use an the value is not there so i don’t you know the quality may not be there but the the way how they branded and they make multi billion dollar industry out of you know something like this ah coffee or that glass of wine but we are really really good at finding something that’s working okay and making it better yeah this is what i want to just say this is awesome because i think if he keeps going doing this weekend maybe inspire somebody heal africa and start you know using our manuals and do please come back and she said please come back next month we cannot repeat this right so this was the biggest order i i mean in that nineteen years old and the eighty do you really think so i think so and i think the italians have the best coffee so we could just create a peace treaty between the two countries and he said just come to the company next week you’re going to get a car i said oh well i don’t really want car he said no you’re going to become to be employee and you’re going to go oh my god i can’t change anything i just did now no it’s okay i’ll just keep everything the way it is i’m i’m happy in the moment so he’s looking for the news the latest model and and has to have it like my iphone is five s.
77:07 – 73:28
e. people laughing at me because i have old in from france and which one is it it is called doce salata oh yeah yeah well you know it’s it’s here in downtown really nice restaurant can you know read my paper and have one of amazing cappuccinos and he just kinda glares out me like dude you can’t sit here all day yeah you need comparing to let’s say two different continents countries and and it’s it’s for me it’s i’m living so it’s it’s interesting you i’m so glad that you have created the space and naples is going to be you know ten percent happier now that we have this this place somehow we compete with them okay never mindless no i like what they do they have their own clientele to people go there for years i mean then maybe we would win you know and actually there’s a restaurant here in naples that does italian coffee and they they shipped their pastries you saying it but i understand exactly when you don’t come up you know sometimes people just forget that they do need some of this stuff and they come to the way i don’t know what to do right and i might suggest an american as i am you know some improvements like maybe we should do yes i i think that in often when i travel i’ll see cafe next to another cafe next to another cafe everyone is selling the come to enjoy coffee and conversation and good relationships that’s awesome well i just want to wrap it up because even talking over our and something we may be boring some people money too and i’m thinking like you’re from italy do you know the deal this is what you know this is the thin so he for years he was kind of tough you kind of looked at me funny and cuts sliced in front of you the place to go to he’s kind of grumpy bastard to be honest i know there’s etonians it’s like i camp out there sometimes and yeah i got it i mean united states is great on on branding this country and the whole idea brent yeah i agree with you yeah i mean different cultures and different countries will offer an experience different things and you know speaking of iphone like an open the business and start selling that was my first thing so what i did was i i found because the company appear with our with our with the way americans think just the way we think about commerce is like we were talking

no time is that i’ve got eleven thirty okay good soy’s after lunch cast one of the previous podcasts instead of going south i just took a write in an ended up here what do you think about our podcast the podcast is self convinced fresh ideas maybe detox whatever you wanna call it right so now is the time we feel life where are you trying to find this second breadth right yeah i’ve had ups and downs that’s my cue to get up time to get up now everybody knows everybody listening to this podcast on DNA delivered casino i grew up in a village somewhere we don’t say the country about interesting thinks that near objectives on on issues that are happening maybe they’ll be happening maybe people maybe help business owners because first cup of coffee i’m really sitting here having a cup of coffee and having this conversation so let’s talk about lifestyle what do you think about naples lifestyle general in in this ration- that is living working in places let’s talk about different countries that he experienced and let’s compare lifestyle here europe asia you chilling downey sunday you here divine april’s coffee shop probably feel good i wandered in this morning i felt i felt the actually i stumbled into your offi believe it or not in coffee shop i’ve been moving since six o’clock this morning and setting annabel helping and donating some coffee to local church so you all are going to be really interesting so you had to sell your business we don’t do any more details than that and you just end up jobless are you and some different places what do you think i agree it sounds fantastic so what what is your favorite country let’s start with this oh man that’s tough one time but anyways so italy yes can i ask about this coffee because it’s fantastic is it turkish because it has an interesting so eighteen sixty two first coffeehouse into all opened in in vienna they invented roasting machine and they strictly they strictly i sound like i’m selling something just have nothing for sale nothing nothing nothing to gain vis either so it’s twelve thirty this is my first cup of coffee in australia so the coffee you can tell comes from three countries the arabic countries we don’t know origin because they don’t yes so what’s your favorite preparation style well we jump from the lifestyle in italy to me and having coffee because of the stanford quality and quality of the podcast is one of the things too so we are happy to be able to serve you too coffee the coffee is roasted a us only are becoming and what that means is the coffee is the highest quality can probably find involved the very strong there’s no bitterness them up there so people can listen but you know we wanna keep the podcast interesting with different subjects and i want you to be part of the one podcast of ican we can thank you have a lot to offer and and you know your experience because he traveled the world and you fairly young you know it’s just amazing and i my opinion is pinks incredibly well done you it’s it’s so well done it was a little intimidating to jump on this i thought we would just hang out and talk about whatever so it’s nice well the couple of favorites i would say i’m attached to sicily so it’ll realize that’s part of italy but its place there’s no after two days there’s really you can you can taste a lot of fruits and and the coffee is very high quality so we are happy to have this coffee listener i’m sure mad you’ll be very happy to hear that you know he he put a lot of our survey that with me and we have over three hundred shows you’ll be eh just we can create a lot of all you for young business owners here or even older business owners here in naples florida so let’s just start with this subject get micro focused on things social like wine coffee i’ve been all about pizza recently but i i did several months traffic is julius minal we finally got the first brennan coffee shop which is jewish brandt they started yeah well yeah you you’ve ever been there yeah it’s a it’s a pretty amazing place so it has so much history because it has the african invasion the greeks were there for interesting we’re not on a different topic because lifestyle in italy is all about coffee that all that’s true that’s true so if he culture okay my version but of course i’m not following the perfect i’m not a perfect example because i don’t follow the instructions which comes to instruction manual and that is the daydream or you know talk to your friend but you need to turn off on and sometime i don’t because i had a lot of things here and you see me moving around so you know it’s an easy you said it yourself you don’t up here you’ll like it from now you’re going to be coming more often you’re going to get detected and plus we are happy you like our podcast finally have i you know you cannot surprise your knowledge of history then forget about turks turks are everywhere they kind of they they nailed holier say then is roasted in italy or austria but it’s family owned business five hundred employees generations so it’s really interesting going around looking at different coffees and i’d been ordering mock jato just makihata right and i would i would someone would serve me with like a lot mark jato different in fact i’m pulling up video here and you can see well i can see it but nobody else because well let me just yeah no too so i i i put a little extra effort there and that always count so yes my best preparation reserve i’m just you know for longer a sipping coffee shoe grounded and stays there for five minutes before it starts sinking so you know it’s it’s amazing coffee depends how i feel during today just you know sip the i’m on a little foam on top and i up and i’m a coffee nerd so i’ve been all over the world tasting coffee i go into these micro i i like to put a little foam in fact i like to do my phone with with this with heavy cream if possible so kind of gives a creamier flavor and there’s item so the whole thing but what do you think about this quality credible yeah in fact it’s it’s i almost don’t want to ruin the taste with any foam which is the the coffee that drape there in there but if i need a little jolt you know two three expressive during the day at that would be my thing sugar content so i can stay within my keto diet oh my god you know this is funny thing i i love everybody’s diet and everybody’s gluten free and everybody’s a long time and also the foresee italian so it’s just a fascinating what about turkish you forget about the turks were in there to make sure we are clearly we know our study you need to take fifteen and offer fifteen minutes when drinking julius mine and just you know just kind of you can star in the wall and just also have cafe culture so they are really experts in being in the moment that’s drip if i need to just you know get energy and experts writer i like espresso macchiato version of it okay so it depends on the coffee so let’s say we have these vena blend that is the drip and i love because it’s very smooth he can drink this day and sometime i have to all right let’s go to the subject of the italian lifestyle what is i’ll talk to you in that country well land cultures and italian italy france spain shop and just fascinating it’s when they see you they stop thinking their full attention to you of course he thought he doesn’t have been so they roast coffee because they know they have a lot of good women there so shortsighted parsley in italy and partially in to stay on the break because i drink too much of it and the espresso being just straight express all you know it’s amazing the kremlin top you you know some lemon cellos or something like this and by the end of that four to six hours you really know that person within a day you really have a relationship which is different than here where isn’t that and and the f- fasting wherever you go everybody does all of things now hurricane comes and public is empty how that happens so they they value one on one communication they love to bump into each other and the town square or the coffee anything for one hundred percent short on do one or two and that’s my thing from very long time because i want to disappoint anybody and i can say you know i did it next or something and you just bump into each other again and just just you know the connection is there you don’t lose the friendship and that’s that’s just what i miss a lot of times i don’t you wanna so busy about where we’re heading well this is fantastic you know i really liked what he saying because i miss europe and this is one of the things we i miss example i have a lot of italian frontier and one of them whose name is luca he used to be managed to in milano milano everybody else familiar envy just come on it’s just amazing when when you realize you know people are able and capable of doing these things but but here is everything on run and and i was sort of like what like this is not a mock jato right i didn’t understand there was a difference between a espresso mark jato in a lot to mock yet complete and you never know where that day might lead you might be invited to lunch and ended up at someone’s home for four to six hours just eating and drinking wine and ended up with became to be really good friends and you know we had a lot of conversations and things and then he left milan on disappear for a little bit and he knew be opening you know when we liked the food we go then in summary and it should be ready for a swimming suit then then he started listening you still you know getting little bit skinner important they just stop and lifestyle and you just grab a coffee in the first gulf she’ll be erna corner you sit there for hours just catching up and i just have chills just seen a lot of times this culture is more you know like self oriented and more agenda there are business related and things around for a little bit and it’s nice to have friends that he can have a conversation and you know he’s honest you know that’s what i missed and for example you know gluten gluten that and then home they eat chips and the the toast and because they have to liquidate it i don’t think they will throw it away so you know i like that morning and you know what what what is the for example the breakfast of catania the city catania in i don’t know i know all the bottle water seems to whatever you buy for hurricane preparation then you have six months and everybody so everybody comes to the restaurants and highest you know the europeans i’m from europe yes we europeans are different the v.

v. publicly say we are not a shame of the are like sponges you’ve part of the family you feel it just because they hug you so you know so strong and and and you know even if you don’t see him for six months you know he rhodesia’s been talking about this in a meeting croissant is my breakfast after twelve o’clock right and the first coffee so i’ve been running on fumes holman up catania and double checking that is not a separate place from the catania that i know which is in sicily in is in fact sicily yeah that’s fantastic yeah so amos castle in catania that i toured once and it’s really an incredible place so interesting you mentioned that right so now we learn said very somebody can benefit not always have benefit you benefit long run i always say i i run marathon you know it’s not a sprint because we’re going to be here about you you’ll of coffee you like traveling your favorite lifestyle listening italy right one of the favorites yes sicily as you go south just just some you don’t see somebody for a year or something you hit them on on the street and and it’s true friend and you know of course it in italy things get less fancy but people become more friendly i believe and it’s funny i think maybe the same is true in found us you know in catania but it’s really their their national work on that the city breakfast and we’re going to be having those breakfast items i’m in travel i travel in united states and you know i don’t know i don’t know if i agree completely saying but you know there’s a lot of we thought imprint on introduce you so make sure you you know you know some of the good guys here and you can feel a little bit of italy here too yes be find people friendly in many places but the mixed of the people that we have here in this city it’s it’s kind of if you want named by cities in here in the coffee shops or we can kind of have the connection with the europe because these european job with the quality of the coffee and also we feel like a lot of the conversations are that honest you know just a lot of agenda you know i don’t know i don’t want nothing negative but there’s the united states in some ways you mean south or north yes as you come south of the united states things become less fancy but people become more warm and welcoming and friends oh you’re gonna be doing a lot of different coffees here we’re going to be doing touchier coffee he starts a couple couple there’s a lot of ideas we will bring in and we will you know people because it can meet really interesting people here in this coffee shop sure you already did right absolutely what again i was just looking you find him here to florida is not part of the south i should’ve clarified goodness i hate to get you on the corner and inexpensively in italy yeah you want to live inexpensively wanna spend very little money and enjoy life when how long before he’s like like tom back and forth quite a bit so business i’ve never done business there now i try to do my business there’s a saying they have in south america that says earned they need than others but if he’d have business here people come from all the different parts of the wall and you just have to understand all of them before you start making business you know thinks caused and how much less they can be do certain things that’s a great point usually when i go to a place for the first time just book a hotel through like kayak or flat in sicily in most small oceanside towns for three to five hundred dollars per month so it’s just i mean it’s just really out how to live in and then you want to spend that money in places that are less expensive like latin countries like spain france italy very inexpensive outside the major cities you can rent italy so you spend how much time did you spend only total in my life probably about a year in different places throughout italy i come back oh you know travelocity or something so i’m not gonna save a lot of money on the first time but as i get to know the area i can bounce around easily see where in general so you’d probably say on on cuba’s young southern must step exactly so that’s most friendly there when you travel you know just like you say you go south but the humidity for minnesota and i find them very friendly there’s just amazing what what what part i wanna live in usually it’s not the most expensive area but i wanna live kind of where the young hip people are so normally i’ll book a hotel near hi there and that’ll be my starting point then i’ll i’ll start walking around talking to people and find out oh the better cheaper more young hip area is one town one part over lers spend pesos oh that’s interesting yeah i mean if you can make money online or you can make money in the continental united states you’re you’re better off you’d be surprised you do know what eder breakfast no surprise that crosstown ham and cheese and you will say what here’s my hack my travel hack which is i look for an h.
23:53 – 45:30
m. what store it’s like a clothing store and you can get an airbnb there for like twenty dollars a day or something like that and it’s even it’s like even better to live in it would be like living in times square in new york probably not the best place but maybe so better neighborhood or east village right and i can see your personality doesn’t you know it’s not a problem for you to talk to people and it’s just one of the things stickers on their windows every business and they seem to all have perfect five star review all like five hundred reviews so i don’t know if there’s like a russian click farm that they’re hiring have we just start conversation about anything any subject and and when you open them up i mean those those are the real savings you know those are weapons right there st down and you walk a little extra but there’s a big savings yeah tripadvisor especially in europe seems to be everybody has trip advisor an and ATM’s generally located in the central central part of the city’s i’ll start an h. m. and i’ll try to find a hotel nearby northeastern state because most people here are migrants from other places you’re right now i try to retire to go back to up has a european feel when you walk in maybe even from the street it’s obvious that this is a european sensibility you have going here really what is the first calvin combined his bike he had a couple of espressos and just be laughing you know the the the onus hawks you get from these people’s like you know he’s like you monday and everything uncontrolled like month what’s that yeah how long it took you to have everything like the spending under control a lot of times you know you have to ask people amino say it’s it’s a little different southern florida is way different than for example miami in west palm beach in boca raton well you know it’s it’s hard to say european feeling oxen there’s something that you feel as soon as you look at the front restaurant my theory is that when you are drawn eh when you walk in yes i could give a couple of examples or stories where i think that this is where i’ve become our gotten this belief from the business here it’s it’s kind of difficult to get around because if you do business and you live with somebody you get that culture in your head do you understand how people think what you and then just got to figure it out there’s no manual go to this country do this do that what i’m saying oh how long it took you before he figured out this is where you’re going to be for next year and how much listen we we we kind of share secrets in websites everything would be sa- local experiencing best places for the beach and things of that nature but i know how you know how to how we end up in i have a theory about this coffee culture meeting great people that you mentioned okay go ahead well first of all i have to give you kudos because your particular copy the reason why we wanted to do this because the processing you have in in your head then how we process the thoughts and and put them in the world is just amazing so based on a feeling to a place you’ll meet people who have the same vibration look at you now this is this is the gold coming out to to get these reviews or what but tripadvisor doesn’t really help much when you’re traveling and yelp is virtually nonexistent in most parts of europe yeah so anyway did you find they’re not may may not be always the right decision to do you know locals will always the truth because or we just followed him right there just followed some local agency vertigo for for beer worried they go to you know for fun and that’s the best way to do it so so then you figured it out and you move to another street right maybe you know video statements but the south ends with georgia and alabama oh i see that’s what he meant it as that is correct as florida is considered the thing is from st while you have the red umbrellas and you have a distinct clean sort of design but there’s something and he’ll leave and people are sitting here coffee shop and this is going to be very interesting yes i agree with you a hundred percent i think about this but you know what this is absolutely amazing thought he bringing in so if you see people sitting here they probably gonna feel saying the city and you go like okay what would you have dinner today you ask some of the locals you know what i mean that’s that’s how we find best restaurants tripadvisor and older older you know attractions you know just knowing you can talk to anybody about anything and people feel comfortable they open up and they tell you the secrets he’s almost like us here you know we we don’t you don’t have to have from sorta this very warm people but from example people from new york your new jersey there’s just different personalities was working on line and i was able to fortunate i wanted to learn tango dancing okay i had a cousin that had moved there who had become a professional would you like to hear one of course okay i don’t even breathe right now i’m ready okay so i was living in buenos aires argentina again also serving green juice like sort of like organic juices anyway one day this i go there i’m half asleep i haven’t had any caffeine and apartment bleaker street so i go into this this coffee shop or juice shop order a drink and i’m standing on the corner trying to figure out my bearing where’s my spot gonna be i find this organic place it’s got again green juice coffee whatever a couple of blocks away from the is there was one particular cafe that stood out to me the vibe of it felt very organic felt well put together so i started going to this cafe thing i muttered to her like so where you’re from or something like that and she looks at me and she could just tell my energy was like toxic i was just like you know nervous standing in line in front of me was one of the most beautiful women i’ve ever seen in my life looks like sort of like an a south american angelina jolie wow august so quickly within a week i was moved out of the hotel and into an airbnb in this area anyway the first thing i do when i settle into a neighborhood is looked for copy shop cafe where we’re going to be my one or two or three places i’m gonna stop in and get my coffee in the mornings so looking at cafe ended up the place called palermo soho or palermo hollywood was where all the young hip kind of less expensive but really modern and cool young people were new york state in manhattan so anyway i’m wondering around manhattan a year and a half later what’s the first thing i do go for a coffee shop right try to find i didn’t see the girl again a year and a half goes by and i end up doing okay i do this apartment swab from the wchs where am i know manhattan’s kind of kind of medicine all around me and there’s a girl standing on the corner she turned she says hey you look like you’re lost really from philadelphia so she was she was american and she got her drink and i got my drink in there were sort of energy but it was it was awkward and then she got it buddy of mine who had an apartment in the west village manhattan he wanted to stay in in my apartment in in hawaii so he came from months date in hawaii and you know wasn’t fully awake and she kind of looked at me kind of uneasily in sort of answered me with a one word answer which was action orthodoxy and left and right before she got into a taxi she turned and looked at me and then left never to be seen again so i go back until my cousin that night and yup i’m lost grandma she says i’m heading this way to chelsea market do you want to just walk with me a little bit and i’m i’m sort of disoriented so i say sure she american country i’m i’m worried for her safety a little bit that’s what i’m wondering yes and she’s she does she’s there right now actually she’s back and forth all the time i was issue frozen and my tracks probably very moment i cannot imagine yeah no coffee yet oh okay yeah so i’m standing there trying to think of something lucky you yeah so i freeze i’m going like oh god i gotta say something right but i i couldn’t think of anything to say this woman you couldn’t think anything’s say couldn’t think of any weren’t in argentina a year and a half ago where you and she froze kidding me and she said how did you know that and i said were you in a coffee shop like you know in the middle of palermo soho and cause i’m starting to realize this is she looks a lot like this girl at this girl in the coffee shop it was weird you know i was bummed out because i didn’t say the right thing right and since you okay interesting whatever so i ended up staying in argentina for four months they’re all over the place she’s telling me the story of how she worked at this bar and now she’s become spiritual teacher and she travels all over the world and wish we did a shot of jack daniels and we’re sitting there we’re going to go to chelsea market next i look over at her and i go look familiar we met and on the way to the market because i got to pick up my check do you wanna come with me so i said sure so i stopped into this bar with her and she said it was the bar in central and the worst it was like town it’s like times square new york so it was great it looked like from the map leclerc a great place to be but go to a city like i said i booked the hotel right in the in the central sorry your cousin is a female or mutiple blonde girl living in the city he goes how the hell did you know i was in argentina’s freaking me out who are you and i said i think we met and i kind of told her about the story about meeting this girl she goes oh my god they created the movie coyote ugly really do you ever heard of this scene yes so it’s called something else but anyway it was the actual original place that was it had thinks that that happened to you there’s no logical explanation for this i don’t know i think i have my own explanation i don’t know if it’s logical looks attractive but i didn’t wanna look her up and down you know what i mean so i just kind of walked with her and we were talking and she sounded interesting and she said hey i wanna stop into this bar inc in naples there may be a handful less than five of places that have this sort of operation and if you keep going to these places they draw in the same type of people maybe there’s only a few really statistically there’s not that many places and and these people continue to find their coffee shop and their juice bar and they keep all but but my theory is there are fewer of these places like like an energy spots i would say places that have this particular vibration than we think said she looks at me funny so i don’t think so so we hang out a little more have one more drink i look over and go i know i know we’ve met and i said had to have couple drinks to get your memory back what happened to her beauty first of all what i wondering and secondly like you know it’s just like this is this is your life it difficult pass that has gone on but other than that i think any one who’s immigrated from a different country has a lot of optimism so i still have to give you an eight point five okay okay why eastern european there’s a real ism that you know there’s some there’s some sort of sense of the the hard the hard ah positively from one to ten would still positively well there’s a little bit of eastern european pessimism so i will give you an eight point five the todd there is okay so if the energy what kind of energy field here i if i had to summer joining these places so they’re crisscrossing each other more than they think that’s that’s my law this just be on our understanding but this is exactly wh- why won’t do this because things are happening in your life are not cannot explain them i just have the feeling is the energy i felt when i walked in here i would say authenticity would be the word that comes to mind okay there’s interesting and if you have you know you meeting somebody in the in the city of south america were you just like going to learn tangle and north about you know if you meeting people in saint places they probably feel the same veil you’d probably have same processing thoughts the way you do and they may be there’s a sense of an i would call it a no bullshit happiness is the feeling of authenticity that comes the radiates from this place and from you well that’s all from me you know for something anita no you’re around and she comes to you and offer us help that’s i mean tell me more what happened to her have same goals like you do and maybe that’s why you feel comfortable around that places because you know people energize you and positive people attract positive people ah i see the world through a different filters right and i still this from scott adams who’s the creator of dilbert have you heard of him know these things one book is how to fail at everything and still succeed i believe and he’s just coming out with a new book now and he was one of the only people to predict trump would win the election you has over the course of his life seeing the world through different filters and over time he upgrades his filters at the current he’s seeing the world through what he calls a persuasion had he’s sort of like a an influence or now and he he’s an expert in the art of persuasion and he’s written several books and though he is not a republican he thought trump was very persuasive and he’s an expert in persuasion so in his book or one of his books he talks about filters so he sir can you describe precision he sees the world and i i see the world so slow slightly different filter but his filter is that he can predict the future the reason why you’re seeing them maybe there’s a reason why they coming here maybe you should discover this and let me start looking into this is interesting thought and the fact that story that was you i remember it she goes what was with you that morning your energy was completely all on hold on i need to stop it here hold him so you telling me you really well i think you that’s nice compliment i didn’t get a summary on one-sentence like this ever before so that’s kind of new okay well things in life and maybe mutilating for another woman in different parts of all very meet her again but you know yeah it was yeah so i you wanna call us pregnancy wherever this but this interesting interesting subject i love this because you know you more most probably light right and this and then you’re on how later you meet that person on on the streets of new york or are you just exchange for month and you’re looking for you and now i’ve upgraded it to believe that in this is not we’ll there will be a new upgrade at some point but the most best newest best thinking is that history okay and so he sees the world through persuasion filter prior to that he saw the world through like an atheism filter through basically nothing means anything drawn into these environment certain types of environments have similar vibrations meaning that their brains are firing off on different patterns that are similar we are attracted to those who have similar endorphins firing in our brains so if you are in similar vibration state in your brain certain certain number ratio of endorphins and that for example if you have a positive attitude your business is going well your body is fit you have a high amount of they met when you visit this in past few interesting people here in the same energy you know just the people on the same thune and then me we may be attracted to one another energy and that’s what i think is going on in these copy shops like the from the story i told it’s that people who were house of endorphins so you’ll be attracted to people who have the same amount of endorphins this is why people who like go to yoga studios seem to want to hang out together and people who go to cocktail we’re floating around in this ball this big blue ball and you know live the best life possible while you’re here have fun before that he’s maybe saw that operating on different levels of endorphins so it’s like the healthier we can make our brains the higher levels we can rise to in terms of our peer groups okay bars are sort of on a different vibration they they kind of congregate but it’s not so much spiritual as in my in my filter as it is that were the reason why you guys are meant to dimes in two different places devolved well that particular time yes it did feel like that for the next couple of hours we walked the city together we had this really strong connection free as he’s gotten older for example well my filter has been upgraded also i used to believe in sort of a spiritual energy okay like a vibration filter okay okay and yeah so i probably share or i mean i don’t wanna know world through a alien filter where he thought we were dropped in by aliens and before that he saw the world through a religious filter so he’s upgraded his filter like him or not he’s persuasive right so he saw the person he’s he’s he says the trump maybe one of the handful five most persuasive people ever well from what happened after the coyote bar not with the with the girl i mean how did you are you in contact with her because i believe need to process that information i responded but you know it’s interesting obviously hope you’re gonna get more so you know same minded people but i i’m sure you’re by saying who what people are what companies are most persuasive okay so you could say okay hillary clinton is less persuasive than donald trump negative people trek negative people so there’s a place for everyone i’m sure it did and if i start watching this if you see people coming back maybe there’s coming yourself is that right right so now i’m trying to level up again so i was twenty years in business for myself in different ways and now i’m looking for the next they experienced now he ended up in naples here and europe programming yourself is this the right environment for you to do this i haven’t decided yet the time and i mean did you do use yourself experience right so i think that high performing people like to are always looking for that next newest so they get bored like people who said yes hi challenging but achievable goals and achieve a high frequency of this goals sure and then and just kind of you know this is how you wanna be absolutely i think of the brain as a computer so we can uninstall the old software and install new software there was a point in my life where i i i said to you off mike i’d never been depressed so i cannot judge people and how they just say okay and i’m happy let’s shoot for mars so it could be an entrepreneur could be an athlete it could be someone who’s like me i’m i’m more of a lifestyle entrepreneur off wear next newest upgrade wanna level up the software you know what i mean high performing people that means people that you know achieve what they put her as a goal and then large corporation american company and you know it’s just you get this this energy and you wanna move we want to be moving people realize the internet is here and it’s gonna stay so they take a little bit more seriously but you know it’s still not enough and i think i feel and how it is to be depressed because this is something i don’t know like i never use drugs so i cannot really jut somebody using drugs or smoke i never but it seems like a it’s a wonderful environment for someone who wants to focus and doesn’t want much distraction this study at uh-huh so my goal wasn’t to go make a billion dollars but i wanted to have you know three times more than my spending at all times coming in okay from whatever business i was involved you know fresh minded and go getters that really you know make up in the morning and and just crushing it twenty four seven and you’re right in miami there’s is that there’s a lot of entrepreneurial positive forward moving energy in miami but there’s also a lot of distraction in miami you know the funding you’re saying this i somehow somehow question myself this is the right place i wanna be rest of you know my youth say because i came from big city i used to work for l.
45:30 – 57:03
here in a business general is kind of interesting because and that’s my opinion strictly you know now is changing because some sort of upgrade what what what inspires me what interests me what’s the next level so let’s just say this we talk about your your you know somehow a little bit okay so you know it it just i can tell it’s bothers me like when somebody smoke in my face so i just i don’t like the smell of it so that’s the only thing but if that’s how i see it so so how you can you i mean if you let’s say if you the yoga guy and you don’t wanna be anymore just gonna be straight to cook the to describe it i just want to keep going it’s just you know something just driving me more than that that need or want to be on the beach i nobody smokes or not i don’t judge the people are still choice and i just wanna say you know when when i was here few years is wendy never seen the star wars i never you know some of the thinks what normal people do i don’t because i’m not abnormal scott adams is sort of a talking head last time on the beach you know when was the last year i don’t even i mean really i don’t even know whenever swimming last time seriously it’s just the debris komo asked me if i’ve ever fishing i was never under both fishing i live twenty three years and there was never fishing i mean just things you wanna develop you wanna create you want to be surrounded by people that that have you know say mind and then you come here and ever chills that just the lifestyle and that was always how my comfort zone okay so you know now did you get to the point you settle down enables now you are the point when european if you wanna do something and and this is perfect place for for life family life and a lot of benefits but if you really wanna be having career and working for a company the following something some some kind of trend of standard and and by following you he’s getting behind anybody so there’s not enough people that that is wonderful place and i don’t have time for it or i don’t create i’m for it but i just have so much in me to achieve something or create something i don’t even know how more hunger and maybe even different energy for it but here it’s just seems like if somebody can work just four days a week they will chill on the beach for three days as me when i was because i i feel say and by me keep going it’s kinda funny because a lot of times even you know look at the polls purdue i know a lot of times on the weekends they go they hang up on boats and they do stuff it’s just really you know i don’t know i mean people think i’m weird but that’s okay is there some time i go there i do live on facebook guide take pictures and that’s about it i don’t even think my shoes off you know it’s just like it’s embarrassing to say we live in it’s we post under divine apples you know facebook video doing the coffee shop a lot of times i helped working night and every time i started i always it’s gonna be really difficult in this city because there’s not many companies they can provide you with that of new york and washington DC and andorra places will probably more but you know then reason and just brings new new views on things is just sort of rushing you know she just really interesting because when you when you live here for you know few years you’ve kind of a there’s a there’s attention from all this surrounding i don’t know what that is but i mean do you finding enough people that are virus or same energy of fragrances you i would say that would be one of the drawbacks i agree with a lot of what you said naples is sort of like a warm bath it feels amazing and it’s relaxing but you don’t wanna stay in too long in your travels and you know and stuff he experienced you know on on different countries amazing so thank you you know we need somebody like this just shut me down don’t make me based on how did you start how did you start your entrepreneurial journey i’m curious you have so much different in father that that is very that actually i have to say that he was he was maybe it’s time to get this i’m i’m talking for five minutes you know describing something you can put nicely and beautifully in when i was maybe twelve thirteen wow first of all a lot to do with the life i live as a teenager julie right and the lifestyle that that that time was it was just very different cultures different people and and to me it’s just were we missing if you get in one place for too long you just kind of then you’d never leave and maybe you say that wchs you can get dorm in a lot of things you know you just you just numb you don’t receive or your brain doesn’t work like when he outside and you certainly said you know not a shift i love working night i have no competition because all of these leagues i just love this thing you know it’s just like if you think about you only worse in farming so for seven hundred years we have we had properties and lands and stuff like that and always farming and farming very opinionated and a lot of times end up in jail for that because that’s what the system did and then later on i found out the communist actually killed my grandfather and they took everything from from our family and uh-huh meeting interesting people that come from outside just get like you chill down i have opinion travel the world and you know have have just the story apar- till you’re gonna stuck to cook i mean he’s there possibility to sir programmers serve all you just heard that from born being born or the way how you live your life and board my first bike which was kind of strange because there were no to manila toma bills not many bikes so not too many i’m too old to travel i’m too he’s never true but you know just the fact that you bringing your views and your europeans here that you collect them so just the whole drive and everything that he put in his life i think i got those jeans and the DNA yes you know if you met some policemen it was it was bad luck or something happened so me twelve year old on a bike and moving in going on it’s amazing like in the history like when did i start when when did you think to okay let me just ask this question since this this whole podcast started being in uh-huh podcast begins and ends so no let’s say there’s a did you guys are you staying in kentucky lower now i i don’t speak with her anymore how can be moving because you know of course you don’t wanna go certain places so but i was twelve years old i made money by helping somebody rewards when they were like warm serious package it up and put it in a little bow for you yeah thank you that’s that’s perfect that’s perfect then how communist countries us thanks so we were throwing stuff over the river and trading like and i started you’re so they killed him and took everything away my father was three so he literally didn’t know didn’t know his his father and he put himself in self he’s not the most sexy job into all you know is very hard and we live in one around and my grandfather didn’t wanna give it to the community round and start traveling and start you know start figuring it out then i start throwing two different country the merchandise and we start tango dancer so i i wanted to check in to make sure she was doing okay down there and also just explore the city so the first thing i do tools and it just grew and grew and grew and then communist fell and i was already known so just continue and bigger events and i ended up in the doing i just make sure you know it’s always stays in limits but i always want explore wants to do something so in order to do this in communist country you need to be rating so i was living in a different country and and and we didn’t have certain things in our country they had more of that and we we had something they didn’t have like if you wanna be free you need to be able to be moving and bosses and you know all this the government owned the transportation is not perfect rating tapes because we didn’t have music so i still trading thanks for coffee and i became to be DJ because i had so much music and in the school they did this interesting interesting time now bringing them so i start being DJ so by like fourteen thirteen fourteen i was already DJ we have you would just wondered i’m taking over i’m interviewing okay so i go back i go back is there that i never stopped and when i was twelve my parents were divorced than in when i was i actually started oh you know i don’t want to say the country but the let’s say i live in new communist country i mean you can figure out by right but i’m not gonna say which country i his farm and everything he had because he had he was the only one had a tractor in the ara and they needed it after they were nobody to pay you for it but this is like ever vince they was having session for our session of music for three different from very early age that he will get everything back and that’s how lift through the commune so just imagine living forty some years life that kind of exploring i never listened to anyone i never listened to my mother and you know i didn’t have no fodder so i did whatever i wanted in limits i never got in trouble never are are forty five years life that you know you don’t have what belongs to you and somebody else had that and then later on you know he got everything back gotcha was unheard of yeah so so i started you know this started like little business which i didn’t get paid for because you know events like for seven eight hundred people and there was over weakened that’s yeah that that that was that was interesting amazing then i started getting paid for red and just an open first business when i turned eighteen next day after my birthday i was able to like legally open business i just went to uh-huh that’s just the always very optimistic person hero living life in communism we’ve become to be one so i went to the government and you know did wherever to do and and i remember when i said to my mother i’m gonna open a business and she says what is that i said well that’s you can do not have the works if somebody can refer self and she said that’s what you need this they walked in a bank vicious like a suitcase or some of them which shoe boxes and they fill those things with the money and went home and they were sitting chauvinism safety safety and this is how ex exactly the whole economy started you can walk i mean i have friends they did and i picked up five different companies so i selected very carefully the products you know something i don’t remember exactly what aren’t table and he’s like okay so now the money would i’m going to do some of them you know didn’t do the right thing and they like open business and failed and you know i never travelled by bus never scheduled anything i just kept going and always whenever i end up ivan inside the door and salt as how it was just the interesting to to think about right now that that the from beginning of my life you know i always an and i never took the and i never did this because i never crossed my mind is this easy road and i never picked easy road i always pick the harder and can mean thinks i do and just jump on the street he jake and just end up in the city and always sold and somehow sometime i got home night depends sir eighty nine amazing i heard about the black markets opening up into white markets during that time i studied this in school make me start talking about stuff i never talk about amazing what do you do to me nothing man just have more coffee yeah so i start handmade so some artist made three d.
57:03 – 77:06
map and that was displayed on different parts of the city and it was like an art and on those little shop ice cream store or you know what you probably gonna need choon have millions so why don’t they have millions and a national okay let’s good idea just me rau- entrepeneurship at its best it’s the best kind yeah but you know it just seems to me like if i will just go to the bank like everybody else and say hey parts they made those businesses that paid more bigger so they send out you know so in this whole graphic thing and there was interesting idea it because if you if you choose the easy way there’s much bigger chance you’re gonna fail and you you’re not going to learn anything guard no car no bicycle i just every morning i just look at a map and i pointed fingers this is where i’m going to go and i have backpack just make it look like i kept the money but some of the operating at the now but it was literally that easy to come to the bank and say hey i want to open a business and can i get some money going from businesses to businesses and i always ask what they do and you know opposite let me sell it for you right so because i have no problem to talk to people i mean it can nobody else can replicate them and that’s like to my heart and right now for instance would doing here it’s it’s all not a product was t shirts not a product like cleaning products and whatever i had had like five different companies imprisoning no business imagine you you know like everything’s owned by government and then two weeks later nothing is owned by government and if you wanna bread you need to find somebody who’s gonna bake it because it’s no more bakery the whole idea of this whole concept and even this podcast we doing right now is different and i’m glad to be doing it because you know people let’s just let’s agree in older thrice whoever but one of them was map like an advertisement my because they were doing some kind of three d map was way ahead of the times but easy and shortcut and one person oh we had this discussion with one of my friend and and she said you know that’s that’s good morning my name is margot wilson i would like to open business can i get some two million dollars on this what are you going to do i’m just going to open i started so this eighty nine that’s i mean i started basically eighty four maybe incredible this is how it started because if you choose the hardaway then then you know you’re going to get better and you’re going to get better than anybody else because experiences that you’re gonna have throughout the process really i have a couple of points that i am pulling away from your story which was amazing thank you i know that was a legendary time provocative the opportunity was on unbelievable if you had some sense of business and you showed up and and the way people spoke about that part of the world and when i say that part of the world i mean the former soviet union that part of the world but i’m not from russia as you for second i never heard that none of that you know just just everything’s different divine apples dot com is different i mean i kind of explained to you uh so so you know those people yesterday they didn’t meet the right time and the right moment and the right place to really know you so now they’re clueless will you truly are and when you come to the coffee shop have this conversation i heard you talking to marvin the local artists people in the street and you don’t know anything about him if they answering with a one word answer and perfect example you just told me now let me just continue to do i don’t wanna bore anybody here but you know it’s just i started selling for five different companies and kind of the hard way and even the coffee shop even menu the items on the breakfast you know we were thinking about all of that the very long time and i’m from russia despite could be but he doesn’t so that part of the world in the eighties was and i’m gonna say something yesterday night even and you just didn’t want to be alone and you end up in a bar we don’t gonna give them plug but you know you end up in bars sitting there loss and in the works where i knew some of them and one of them was ever employee has to be given soap unit at the right moment what he can learn what he can you know and you can have really different feeling from that human being or exchange and it’s amazing food so i i start picking up this big factories right so we have some of the factories five thousand employees ten thousand employees so other figured it out not using strategies right and i was sending this cleaning product and by government government had still some kind of old having this conversation and and kind of exposing myself a little bit my boss and my experiences is is just like we all are people we all have something and in place in certain like labor laws and stuff like that so i was like okay so i have this cleaning product which is basically soap right and i know that today over africa of initial i mean it sounds crazy right people say it’s too dangerous as if you’re a young man on the rise and you don’t know exactly we could easily just say okay we do pancakes and sausages everybody does that he’s fine everybody’s they’re disorganized easy you come here you see the menu and you’re gonna say okay let me think because i already heard somebody else at the problem if not the maybe just enrich people with the experiences we have through but you know it’s interesting you mean giving no samples immediately they were telling me everything they were telling me is in charge of this and this and that you know and normally nobody’s talking a- and if we can share information they can we can share to the experiences and we can share somehow that you know what we go through in life maybe for a future podcast i would love to hear your opinion on how you would do things over again knowing now knowing then what you know now every employee has to get one right so i don’t go to the factories and try to sell that because one sale was just taking cover me we’re just growing like mushrooms you know and you market everything is now open and people didn’t know what to do with that was just really interesting hearts explain because and i got to the point where i get smart so you know sunning well maybe it was the moment when i get smart maybe you know i get to the point where i stood nicely to security and give them anything so i wrote down everything and then went to dr did same thing and then went home try to doc them from inside so i went to the gate and you know those people on the gate what do you call them the security security so i started save some cash and so i had this author form and and i put the cash underneath of the second page and the you know what looking looking back to all this and having knowledge and information that i have today and sure grew up in this country you know i i mean i came you know sometimes people just don’t feel like talking about their pasta and stuff like that you just need to be in the moment and and it’s interesting if you can meet somebody good morning formation of all these people you know by just asking around and then one day i just went inside and here’s how i did i mean it was i for three hours almost you guys were pumping you know what i’m saying that the exchange here was so magical i didn’t i i was just whoa i wish for somebody to do this nevertheless i came to the to the first factory and i and what opportunities you would have targeted with all of that access to capital in a fresh brand new country opening up but anyway that’s no this is good now at that that particular time like you were saying they were opening businesses like crazy they were giving money away to start businesses like crazy this was a legendary where that’s happening not the most cautious but i knew the whole country was going through this change so i had to be creative just really quick i how to get to those factories so you know event i to observe multi and then i was brave enough to one of the things was like a ajax like the powder you clean dishes with sure so i had one of those and where you want to be and you want to be in a in a wild wild west atmosphere africa right now is going to be digitally let’s get let’s get out of here no i’m telling you because he and and she said clinic comeback and then we made or if you can clean so i was i was on a bathroom for three hours some people do a registered and just keep an had twenty years from now against the bill to happen to this guy and maybe if i do this did that you know this will help me down dirty hands but this is very good product you know it’s made in our country it’s it’s made by our hammocks or this just just said what is this i said well this can clean anything you know hard stones and everything she and she said to me okay there’s a we make coffee this uh-huh just receiving old any information and ideas you were throwing away in a in a and everything was just amazing so what i want to say is take time because i want to throw in a couple of bullet points of things i heard you say which because you you’ve touched on a couple of fascinating topics but please keep going what did you do you went under the and says look i have this cleaning product for the hands and i would like to offer to you i mean of course i cannot demonstrate because no nobody air in the offices it’s another left personnel alright start talking to you and you just as we’re not in the mood talk to anybody and then kaos bar steakhouse bar upscale stay governor anything and we will make it over and she said well you know i’m ready to go home i said well i’ve traveled fifty kilometers here too kinda give her the benefit of the product and then she said what else do you have i said well and i thought beginning i have five items five products and that’s not picking him up for my backpack and it up and there was so much settlement there was like a one centimeter like maybe quarter of inch of of settlement like the heart stone uh i don’t know maybe three thousand dollars wow that was huge huge order yes and and she said to me oh to demonstrate we have a good product and all this she said okay i’ll stay over so we did order and the way how are really daughter was you know she she ordered nevertheless so i showed up the week later just make sure the order came she was happy you know and i said to her would you the cleaning thing it was so hard to cinnamon out and both probably around four o’clock and i finally cleaned up money there and you know i flip the page and i said to her well if you sign this paper and we can add stuff to order you know then favor if you can call somebody else into the auto factory next to you you know somebody there and we can place the order i make should the order with her on seven pilots and seven policy was like a lot of products i don’t even remember what was the dollar amount value if you had to guess who believable that’s my answer to you’ll niaz go start business that’s what i did a couple of bullet points that pop up to me are two maybe we can discuss describe today i’m thinking of is very hard to describe how divorce and is you know this countries in places nevertheless came to there and and talking to this lady the the thanks for the hands because she had to so it was five thousand items and the second page instead of carbon copy i put cars which were working for the company and the and the owner of the company which you’re producing this cleaning products call me are you taking care of so she did she go and i went to the auto factory i may not order there and this is how i started the business he’s in eastern europe that had to be like you could buy like a car or a house for that or something like that three thousand dollars while it was more than i mean it can do a lot of things car and and and you’re gonna have whole country for yourself because i fired everybody so there’s always started i don’t think the average american has any idea what it’s like to live other places not to mention how lucky we are with with the things that we link it comes from here and they’re true geniuses on this not necessarily the products that you have strong brand are good or strong products you know just doing working for one company so vinai produced that month the auto i sold more than three full-time cells people form clean uniform and some order of products once a month and that was the communism kind of you know sitting still coffee what do you call it the the metal thing you make coffee tea kettle cuddle yes she said look at that and kenneth clean it so i opened the make educated purchases before somebody’s been dollars the they usually educate themselves before they do that if it’s cars jeans in a future episode or what was it like to live in a communist country period and then also when the change happened what was the change like sister diamond carbon copies you know they used to do for you know no mobile phones no pagers no none none of that i mean he’s just i if you wanna make a phone call to somebody rents because in europe for instance the people don’t really care about a lot of brands they care more about the you know the quality because people i will say cultures their latin cultures are black belts their absolute experts at living in the moment la dolch evita right tayfun we we had no other ways and pay on was like one you know the phone booth per village on field i’m in the city very hard aim items that everyone around you has how about starting to try you know instead of doing coffee maybe add ice cream or gelato or could you and then you see them recoil like go and buy it make that move but when they do they feel comfortable they know they did the right decision they don’t doubt and dave or do they never do garage sales because yeah yeah and she goes like any cleaner i hardly could put my hand in it she said well there’s water in the bathroom right it was one o’clock for example new greek yogurt shabani you’re serious just just the experts on the branding and that is also related to people how the consumer so like the good life it’s we’re not that great in the united states at slowing down and being with each other in the moment and enjoying the this this copy will stay here with you just you just look at it and she said okay let’s review again to order so she i basically closed but then as we get to know each other better he will or she will complain my businesses going down the economy’s not good m- occurrence the currency is not healthy american attention on innovation the iphone six seven eight nine ten we have to have a new iphone every year there’s a something about american culture that makes us whatever it is they always they’re not impulsive buyers you know there are more like a educated buyers and takes time for them to really a special maybe we should consider selling something different than the two people that are on your within the person on your left in the person on your right instead of offering the exact same iphone which i technically bought this new to me i bought it this year in april but the fact is i don’t really need those shiny things and i’m not a person of material stuff same exact thing for the same exact price and the cafe owner will be happy and personal and take the time to get to know me want to improve improve improve and change and latin culture off and i think the focus is on enjoying in the joining the moment and both things we can learn from both things and i still was not affected enough to change DNA and i did i have to have everything and latest things so you know i come outside we just think sparky and the come to her office and she looked at me and she said i thought you left i said no he told me to call you you know i’d rather do something else instead of the money then then spend them on something i don’t even use an the value is not there so i don’t you know the quality may not be there but the the way how they branded and they make multi billion dollar industry out of you know something like this ah coffee or that glass of wine but we are really really good at finding something that’s working okay and making it better yeah this is what i want to just say this is awesome because i think if he keeps going doing this weekend maybe inspire somebody heal africa and start you know using our manuals and do please come back and she said please come back next month we cannot repeat this right so this was the biggest order i i mean in that nineteen years old and the eighty do you really think so i think so and i think the italians have the best coffee so we could just create a peace treaty between the two countries and he said just come to the company next week you’re going to get a car i said oh well i don’t really want car he said no you’re going to become to be employee and you’re going to go oh my god i can’t change anything i just did now no it’s okay i’ll just keep everything the way it is i’m i’m happy in the moment so he’s looking for the news the latest model and and has to have it like my iphone is five s.
77:07 – 73:28
e. people laughing at me because i have old in from france and which one is it it is called doce salata oh yeah yeah well you know it’s it’s here in downtown really nice restaurant can you know read my paper and have one of amazing cappuccinos and he just kinda glares out me like dude you can’t sit here all day yeah you need comparing to let’s say two different continents countries and and it’s it’s for me it’s i’m living so it’s it’s interesting you i’m so glad that you have created the space and naples is going to be you know ten percent happier now that we have this this place somehow we compete with them okay never mindless no i like what they do they have their own clientele to people go there for years i mean then maybe we would win you know and actually there’s a restaurant here in naples that does italian coffee and they they shipped their pastries you saying it but i understand exactly when you don’t come up you know sometimes people just forget that they do need some of this stuff and they come to the way i don’t know what to do right and i might suggest an american as i am you know some improvements like maybe we should do yes i i think that in often when i travel i’ll see cafe next to another cafe next to another cafe everyone is selling the come to enjoy coffee and conversation and good relationships that’s awesome well i just want to wrap it up because even talking over our and something we may be boring some people money too and i’m thinking like you’re from italy do you know the deal this is what you know this is the thin so he for years he was kind of tough you kind of looked at me funny and cuts sliced in front of you the place to go to he’s kind of grumpy bastard to be honest i know there’s etonians it’s like i camp out there sometimes and yeah i got it i mean united states is great on on branding this country and the whole idea brent yeah i agree with you yeah i mean different cultures and different countries will offer an experience different things and you know speaking of iphone like an open the business and start selling that was my first thing so what i did was i i found because the company appear with our with our with the way americans think just the way we think about commerce is like we were talking

the podcast is self convinced fresh ideas maybe detox whatever you wanna call it right so now is the time we feel life where are you trying to find this second breadth right yeah i’ve had ups and downs that’s my cue to get up time to get up now everybody knows everybody listening to this podcast on DNA delivered casino i grew up in a village somewhere we don’t say the country about interesting thinks that near objectives on on issues that are happening maybe they’ll be happening maybe people maybe help business owners because first cup of coffee i’m really sitting here having a cup of coffee and having this conversation so let’s talk about lifestyle what do you think about naples lifestyle general in in this ration- that is living working in places let’s talk about different countries that he experienced and let’s compare lifestyle here europe asia you chilling downey sunday you here divine april’s coffee shop probably feel good i wandered in this morning i felt i felt the actually i stumbled into your offi believe it or not in coffee shop i’ve been moving since six o’clock this morning and setting annabel helping and donating some coffee to local church so you all are going to be really interesting so you had to sell your business we don’t do any more details than that and you just end up jobless are you and some different places what do you think i agree it sounds fantastic so what what is your favorite country let’s start with this oh man that’s tough one time but anyways so italy yes can i ask about this coffee because it’s fantastic is it turkish because it has an interesting so eighteen sixty two first coffeehouse into all opened in in vienna they invented roasting machine and they strictly they strictly i sound like i’m selling something just have nothing for sale nothing nothing nothing to gain vis either so it’s twelve thirty this is my first cup of coffee in australia so the coffee you can tell comes from three countries the arabic countries we don’t know origin because they don’t yes so what’s your favorite preparation style well we jump from the lifestyle in italy to me and having coffee because of the stanford quality and quality of the podcast is one of the things too so we are happy to be able to serve you too coffee the coffee is roasted a us only are becoming and what that means is the coffee is the highest quality can probably find involved the very strong there’s no bitterness them up there so people can listen but you know we wanna keep the podcast interesting with different subjects and i want you to be part of the one podcast of ican we can thank you have a lot to offer and and you know your experience because he traveled the world and you fairly young you know it’s just amazing and i my opinion is pinks incredibly well done you it’s it’s so well done it was a little intimidating to jump on this i thought we would just hang out and talk about whatever so it’s nice well the couple of favorites i would say i’m attached to sicily so it’ll realize that’s part of italy but its place there’s no after two days there’s really you can you can taste a lot of fruits and and the coffee is very high quality so we are happy to have this coffee listener i’m sure mad you’ll be very happy to hear that you know he he put a lot of our survey that with me and we have over three hundred shows you’ll be eh just we can create a lot of all you for young business owners here or even older business owners here in naples florida so let’s just start with this subject get micro focused on things social like wine coffee i’ve been all about pizza recently but i i did several months traffic is julius minal we finally got the first brennan coffee shop which is jewish brandt they started yeah well yeah you you’ve ever been there yeah it’s a it’s a pretty amazing place so it has so much history because it has the african invasion the greeks were there for interesting we’re not on a different topic because lifestyle in italy is all about coffee that all that’s true that’s true so if he culture okay my version but of course i’m not following the perfect i’m not a perfect example because i don’t follow the instructions which comes to instruction manual and that is the daydream or you know talk to your friend but you need to turn off on and sometime i don’t because i had a lot of things here and you see me moving around so you know it’s an easy you said it yourself you don’t up here you’ll like it from now you’re going to be coming more often you’re going to get detected and plus we are happy you like our podcast finally have i you know you cannot surprise your knowledge of history then forget about turks turks are everywhere they kind of they they nailed holier say then is roasted in italy or austria but it’s family owned business five hundred employees generations so it’s really interesting going around looking at different coffees and i’d been ordering mock jato just makihata right and i would i would someone would serve me with like a lot mark jato different in fact i’m pulling up video here and you can see well i can see it but nobody else because well let me just yeah no too so i i i put a little extra effort there and that always count so yes my best preparation reserve i’m just you know for longer a sipping coffee shoe grounded and stays there for five minutes before it starts sinking so you know it’s it’s amazing coffee depends how i feel during today just you know sip the i’m on a little foam on top and i up and i’m a coffee nerd so i’ve been all over the world tasting coffee i go into these micro i i like to put a little foam in fact i like to do my phone with with this with heavy cream if possible so kind of gives a creamier flavor and there’s item so the whole thing but what do you think about this quality credible yeah in fact it’s it’s i almost don’t want to ruin the taste with any foam which is the the coffee that drape there in there but if i need a little jolt you know two three expressive during the day at that would be my thing sugar content so i can stay within my keto diet oh my god you know this is funny thing i i love everybody’s diet and everybody’s gluten free and everybody’s a long time and also the foresee italian so it’s just a fascinating what about turkish you forget about the turks were in there to make sure we are clearly we know our study you need to take fifteen and offer fifteen minutes when drinking julius mine and just you know just kind of you can star in the wall and just also have cafe culture so they are really experts in being in the moment that’s drip if i need to just you know get energy and experts writer i like espresso macchiato version of it okay so it depends on the coffee so let’s say we have these vena blend that is the drip and i love because it’s very smooth he can drink this day and sometime i have to all right let’s go to the subject of the italian lifestyle what is i’ll talk to you in that country well land cultures and italian italy france spain shop and just fascinating it’s when they see you they stop thinking their full attention to you of course he thought he doesn’t have been so they roast coffee because they know they have a lot of good women there so shortsighted parsley in italy and partially in to stay on the break because i drink too much of it and the espresso being just straight express all you know it’s amazing the kremlin top you you know some lemon cellos or something like this and by the end of that four to six hours you really know that person within a day you really have a relationship which is different than here where isn’t that and and the f- fasting wherever you go everybody does all of things now hurricane comes and public is empty how that happens so they they value one on one communication they love to bump into each other and the town square or the coffee anything for one hundred percent short on do one or two and that’s my thing from very long time because i want to disappoint anybody and i can say you know i did it next or something and you just bump into each other again and just just you know the connection is there you don’t lose the friendship and that’s that’s just what i miss a lot of times i don’t you wanna so busy about where we’re heading well this is fantastic you know i really liked what he saying because i miss europe and this is one of the things we i miss example i have a lot of italian frontier and one of them whose name is luca he used to be managed to in milano milano everybody else familiar envy just come on it’s just amazing when when you realize you know people are able and capable of doing these things but but here is everything on run and and i was sort of like what like this is not a mock jato right i didn’t understand there was a difference between a espresso mark jato in a lot to mock yet complete and you never know where that day might lead you might be invited to lunch and ended up at someone’s home for four to six hours just eating and drinking wine and ended up with became to be really good friends and you know we had a lot of conversations and things and then he left milan on disappear for a little bit and he knew be opening you know when we liked the food we go then in summary and it should be ready for a swimming suit then then he started listening you still you know getting little bit skinner important they just stop and lifestyle and you just grab a coffee in the first gulf she’ll be erna corner you sit there for hours just catching up and i just have chills just seen a lot of times this culture is more you know like self oriented and more agenda there are business related and things around for a little bit and it’s nice to have friends that he can have a conversation and you know he’s honest you know that’s what i missed and for example you know gluten gluten that and then home they eat chips and the the toast and because they have to liquidate it i don’t think they will throw it away so you know i like that morning and you know what what what is the for example the breakfast of catania the city catania in i don’t know i know all the bottle water seems to whatever you buy for hurricane preparation then you have six months and everybody so everybody comes to the restaurants and highest you know the europeans i’m from europe yes we europeans are different the v.
14:46 – 23:53
v. publicly say we are not a shame of the are like sponges you’ve part of the family you feel it just because they hug you so you know so strong and and and you know even if you don’t see him for six months you know he rhodesia’s been talking about this in a meeting croissant is my breakfast after twelve o’clock right and the first coffee so i’ve been running on fumes holman up catania and double checking that is not a separate place from the catania that i know which is in sicily in is in fact sicily yeah that’s fantastic yeah so amos castle in catania that i toured once and it’s really an incredible place so interesting you mentioned that right so now we learn said very somebody can benefit not always have benefit you benefit long run i always say i i run marathon you know it’s not a sprint because we’re going to be here about you you’ll of coffee you like traveling your favorite lifestyle listening italy right one of the favorites yes sicily as you go south just just some you don’t see somebody for a year or something you hit them on on the street and and it’s true friend and you know of course it in italy things get less fancy but people become more friendly i believe and it’s funny i think maybe the same is true in found us you know in catania but it’s really their their national work on that the city breakfast and we’re going to be having those breakfast items i’m in travel i travel in united states and you know i don’t know i don’t know if i agree completely saying but you know there’s a lot of we thought imprint on introduce you so make sure you you know you know some of the good guys here and you can feel a little bit of italy here too yes be find people friendly in many places but the mixed of the people that we have here in this city it’s it’s kind of if you want named by cities in here in the coffee shops or we can kind of have the connection with the europe because these european job with the quality of the coffee and also we feel like a lot of the conversations are that honest you know just a lot of agenda you know i don’t know i don’t want nothing negative but there’s the united states in some ways you mean south or north yes as you come south of the united states things become less fancy but people become more warm and welcoming and friends oh you’re gonna be doing a lot of different coffees here we’re going to be doing touchier coffee he starts a couple couple there’s a lot of ideas we will bring in and we will you know people because it can meet really interesting people here in this coffee shop sure you already did right absolutely what again i was just looking you find him here to florida is not part of the south i should’ve clarified goodness i hate to get you on the corner and inexpensively in italy yeah you want to live inexpensively wanna spend very little money and enjoy life when how long before he’s like like tom back and forth quite a bit so business i’ve never done business there now i try to do my business there’s a saying they have in south america that says earned they need than others but if he’d have business here people come from all the different parts of the wall and you just have to understand all of them before you start making business you know thinks caused and how much less they can be do certain things that’s a great point usually when i go to a place for the first time just book a hotel through like kayak or flat in sicily in most small oceanside towns for three to five hundred dollars per month so it’s just i mean it’s just really out how to live in and then you want to spend that money in places that are less expensive like latin countries like spain france italy very inexpensive outside the major cities you can rent italy so you spend how much time did you spend only total in my life probably about a year in different places throughout italy i come back oh you know travelocity or something so i’m not gonna save a lot of money on the first time but as i get to know the area i can bounce around easily see where in general so you’d probably say on on cuba’s young southern must step exactly so that’s most friendly there when you travel you know just like you say you go south but the humidity for minnesota and i find them very friendly there’s just amazing what what what part i wanna live in usually it’s not the most expensive area but i wanna live kind of where the young hip people are so normally i’ll book a hotel near hi there and that’ll be my starting point then i’ll i’ll start walking around talking to people and find out oh the better cheaper more young hip area is one town one part over lers spend pesos oh that’s interesting yeah i mean if you can make money online or you can make money in the continental united states you’re you’re better off you’d be surprised you do know what eder breakfast no surprise that crosstown ham and cheese and you will say what here’s my hack my travel hack which is i look for an h.
23:53 – 45:30
m. what store it’s like a clothing store and you can get an airbnb there for like twenty dollars a day or something like that and it’s even it’s like even better to live in it would be like living in times square in new york probably not the best place but maybe so better neighborhood or east village right and i can see your personality doesn’t you know it’s not a problem for you to talk to people and it’s just one of the things stickers on their windows every business and they seem to all have perfect five star review all like five hundred reviews so i don’t know if there’s like a russian click farm that they’re hiring have we just start conversation about anything any subject and and when you open them up i mean those those are the real savings you know those are weapons right there st down and you walk a little extra but there’s a big savings yeah tripadvisor especially in europe seems to be everybody has trip advisor an and ATM’s generally located in the central central part of the city’s i’ll start an h. m. and i’ll try to find a hotel nearby northeastern state because most people here are migrants from other places you’re right now i try to retire to go back to up has a european feel when you walk in maybe even from the street it’s obvious that this is a european sensibility you have going here really what is the first calvin combined his bike he had a couple of espressos and just be laughing you know the the the onus hawks you get from these people’s like you know he’s like you monday and everything uncontrolled like month what’s that yeah how long it took you to have everything like the spending under control a lot of times you know you have to ask people amino say it’s it’s a little different southern florida is way different than for example miami in west palm beach in boca raton well you know it’s it’s hard to say european feeling oxen there’s something that you feel as soon as you look at the front restaurant my theory is that when you are drawn eh when you walk in yes i could give a couple of examples or stories where i think that this is where i’ve become our gotten this belief from the business here it’s it’s kind of difficult to get around because if you do business and you live with somebody you get that culture in your head do you understand how people think what you and then just got to figure it out there’s no manual go to this country do this do that what i’m saying oh how long it took you before he figured out this is where you’re going to be for next year and how much listen we we we kind of share secrets in websites everything would be sa- local experiencing best places for the beach and things of that nature but i know how you know how to how we end up in i have a theory about this coffee culture meeting great people that you mentioned okay go ahead well first of all i have to give you kudos because your particular copy the reason why we wanted to do this because the processing you have in in your head then how we process the thoughts and and put them in the world is just amazing so based on a feeling to a place you’ll meet people who have the same vibration look at you now this is this is the gold coming out to to get these reviews or what but tripadvisor doesn’t really help much when you’re traveling and yelp is virtually nonexistent in most parts of europe yeah so anyway did you find they’re not may may not be always the right decision to do you know locals will always the truth because or we just followed him right there just followed some local agency vertigo for for beer worried they go to you know for fun and that’s the best way to do it so so then you figured it out and you move to another street right maybe you know video statements but the south ends with georgia and alabama oh i see that’s what he meant it as that is correct as florida is considered the thing is from st while you have the red umbrellas and you have a distinct clean sort of design but there’s something and he’ll leave and people are sitting here coffee shop and this is going to be very interesting yes i agree with you a hundred percent i think about this but you know what this is absolutely amazing thought he bringing in so if you see people sitting here they probably gonna feel saying the city and you go like okay what would you have dinner today you ask some of the locals you know what i mean that’s that’s how we find best restaurants tripadvisor and older older you know attractions you know just knowing you can talk to anybody about anything and people feel comfortable they open up and they tell you the secrets he’s almost like us here you know we we don’t you don’t have to have from sorta this very warm people but from example people from new york your new jersey there’s just different personalities was working on line and i was able to fortunate i wanted to learn tango dancing okay i had a cousin that had moved there who had become a professional would you like to hear one of course okay i don’t even breathe right now i’m ready okay so i was living in buenos aires argentina again also serving green juice like sort of like organic juices anyway one day this i go there i’m half asleep i haven’t had any caffeine and apartment bleaker street so i go into this this coffee shop or juice shop order a drink and i’m standing on the corner trying to figure out my bearing where’s my spot gonna be i find this organic place it’s got again green juice coffee whatever a couple of blocks away from the is there was one particular cafe that stood out to me the vibe of it felt very organic felt well put together so i started going to this cafe thing i muttered to her like so where you’re from or something like that and she looks at me and she could just tell my energy was like toxic i was just like you know nervous standing in line in front of me was one of the most beautiful women i’ve ever seen in my life looks like sort of like an a south american angelina jolie wow august so quickly within a week i was moved out of the hotel and into an airbnb in this area anyway the first thing i do when i settle into a neighborhood is looked for copy shop cafe where we’re going to be my one or two or three places i’m gonna stop in and get my coffee in the mornings so looking at cafe ended up the place called palermo soho or palermo hollywood was where all the young hip kind of less expensive but really modern and cool young people were new york state in manhattan so anyway i’m wondering around manhattan a year and a half later what’s the first thing i do go for a coffee shop right try to find i didn’t see the girl again a year and a half goes by and i end up doing okay i do this apartment swab from the wchs where am i know manhattan’s kind of kind of medicine all around me and there’s a girl standing on the corner she turned she says hey you look like you’re lost really from philadelphia so she was she was american and she got her drink and i got my drink in there were sort of energy but it was it was awkward and then she got it buddy of mine who had an apartment in the west village manhattan he wanted to stay in in my apartment in in hawaii so he came from months date in hawaii and you know wasn’t fully awake and she kind of looked at me kind of uneasily in sort of answered me with a one word answer which was action orthodoxy and left and right before she got into a taxi she turned and looked at me and then left never to be seen again so i go back until my cousin that night and yup i’m lost grandma she says i’m heading this way to chelsea market do you want to just walk with me a little bit and i’m i’m sort of disoriented so i say sure she american country i’m i’m worried for her safety a little bit that’s what i’m wondering yes and she’s she does she’s there right now actually she’s back and forth all the time i was issue frozen and my tracks probably very moment i cannot imagine yeah no coffee yet oh okay yeah so i’m standing there trying to think of something lucky you yeah so i freeze i’m going like oh god i gotta say something right but i i couldn’t think of anything to say this woman you couldn’t think anything’s say couldn’t think of any weren’t in argentina a year and a half ago where you and she froze kidding me and she said how did you know that and i said were you in a coffee shop like you know in the middle of palermo soho and cause i’m starting to realize this is she looks a lot like this girl at this girl in the coffee shop it was weird you know i was bummed out because i didn’t say the right thing right and since you okay interesting whatever so i ended up staying in argentina for four months they’re all over the place she’s telling me the story of how she worked at this bar and now she’s become spiritual teacher and she travels all over the world and wish we did a shot of jack daniels and we’re sitting there we’re going to go to chelsea market next i look over at her and i go look familiar we met and on the way to the market because i got to pick up my check do you wanna come with me so i said sure so i stopped into this bar with her and she said it was the bar in central and the worst it was like town it’s like times square new york so it was great it looked like from the map leclerc a great place to be but go to a city like i said i booked the hotel right in the in the central sorry your cousin is a female or mutiple blonde girl living in the city he goes how the hell did you know i was in argentina’s freaking me out who are you and i said i think we met and i kind of told her about the story about meeting this girl she goes oh my god they created the movie coyote ugly really do you ever heard of this scene yes so it’s called something else but anyway it was the actual original place that was it had thinks that that happened to you there’s no logical explanation for this i don’t know i think i have my own explanation i don’t know if it’s logical looks attractive but i didn’t wanna look her up and down you know what i mean so i just kind of walked with her and we were talking and she sounded interesting and she said hey i wanna stop into this bar inc in naples there may be a handful less than five of places that have this sort of operation and if you keep going to these places they draw in the same type of people maybe there’s only a few really statistically there’s not that many places and and these people continue to find their coffee shop and their juice bar and they keep all but but my theory is there are fewer of these places like like an energy spots i would say places that have this particular vibration than we think said she looks at me funny so i don’t think so so we hang out a little more have one more drink i look over and go i know i know we’ve met and i said had to have couple drinks to get your memory back what happened to her beauty first of all what i wondering and secondly like you know it’s just like this is this is your life it difficult pass that has gone on but other than that i think any one who’s immigrated from a different country has a lot of optimism so i still have to give you an eight point five okay okay why eastern european there’s a real ism that you know there’s some there’s some sort of sense of the the hard the hard ah positively from one to ten would still positively well there’s a little bit of eastern european pessimism so i will give you an eight point five the todd there is okay so if the energy what kind of energy field here i if i had to summer joining these places so they’re crisscrossing each other more than they think that’s that’s my law this just be on our understanding but this is exactly wh- why won’t do this because things are happening in your life are not cannot explain them i just have the feeling is the energy i felt when i walked in here i would say authenticity would be the word that comes to mind okay there’s interesting and if you have you know you meeting somebody in the in the city of south america were you just like going to learn tangle and north about you know if you meeting people in saint places they probably feel the same veil you’d probably have same processing thoughts the way you do and they may be there’s a sense of an i would call it a no bullshit happiness is the feeling of authenticity that comes the radiates from this place and from you well that’s all from me you know for something anita no you’re around and she comes to you and offer us help that’s i mean tell me more what happened to her have same goals like you do and maybe that’s why you feel comfortable around that places because you know people energize you and positive people attract positive people ah i see the world through a different filters right and i still this from scott adams who’s the creator of dilbert have you heard of him know these things one book is how to fail at everything and still succeed i believe and he’s just coming out with a new book now and he was one of the only people to predict trump would win the election you has over the course of his life seeing the world through different filters and over time he upgrades his filters at the current he’s seeing the world through what he calls a persuasion had he’s sort of like a an influence or now and he he’s an expert in the art of persuasion and he’s written several books and though he is not a republican he thought trump was very persuasive and he’s an expert in persuasion so in his book or one of his books he talks about filters so he sir can you describe precision he sees the world and i i see the world so slow slightly different filter but his filter is that he can predict the future the reason why you’re seeing them maybe there’s a reason why they coming here maybe you should discover this and let me start looking into this is interesting thought and the fact that story that was you i remember it she goes what was with you that morning your energy was completely all on hold on i need to stop it here hold him so you telling me you really well i think you that’s nice compliment i didn’t get a summary on one-sentence like this ever before so that’s kind of new okay well things in life and maybe mutilating for another woman in different parts of all very meet her again but you know yeah it was yeah so i you wanna call us pregnancy wherever this but this interesting interesting subject i love this because you know you more most probably light right and this and then you’re on how later you meet that person on on the streets of new york or are you just exchange for month and you’re looking for you and now i’ve upgraded it to believe that in this is not we’ll there will be a new upgrade at some point but the most best newest best thinking is that history okay and so he sees the world through persuasion filter prior to that he saw the world through like an atheism filter through basically nothing means anything drawn into these environment certain types of environments have similar vibrations meaning that their brains are firing off on different patterns that are similar we are attracted to those who have similar endorphins firing in our brains so if you are in similar vibration state in your brain certain certain number ratio of endorphins and that for example if you have a positive attitude your business is going well your body is fit you have a high amount of they met when you visit this in past few interesting people here in the same energy you know just the people on the same thune and then me we may be attracted to one another energy and that’s what i think is going on in these copy shops like the from the story i told it’s that people who were house of endorphins so you’ll be attracted to people who have the same amount of endorphins this is why people who like go to yoga studios seem to want to hang out together and people who go to cocktail we’re floating around in this ball this big blue ball and you know live the best life possible while you’re here have fun before that he’s maybe saw that operating on different levels of endorphins so it’s like the healthier we can make our brains the higher levels we can rise to in terms of our peer groups okay bars are sort of on a different vibration they they kind of congregate but it’s not so much spiritual as in my in my filter as it is that were the reason why you guys are meant to dimes in two different places devolved well that particular time yes it did feel like that for the next couple of hours we walked the city together we had this really strong connection free as he’s gotten older for example well my filter has been upgraded also i used to believe in sort of a spiritual energy okay like a vibration filter okay okay and yeah so i probably share or i mean i don’t wanna know world through a alien filter where he thought we were dropped in by aliens and before that he saw the world through a religious filter so he’s upgraded his filter like him or not he’s persuasive right so he saw the person he’s he’s he says the trump maybe one of the handful five most persuasive people ever well from what happened after the coyote bar not with the with the girl i mean how did you are you in contact with her because i believe need to process that information i responded but you know it’s interesting obviously hope you’re gonna get more so you know same minded people but i i’m sure you’re by saying who what people are what companies are most persuasive okay so you could say okay hillary clinton is less persuasive than donald trump negative people trek negative people so there’s a place for everyone i’m sure it did and if i start watching this if you see people coming back maybe there’s coming yourself is that right right so now i’m trying to level up again so i was twenty years in business for myself in different ways and now i’m looking for the next they experienced now he ended up in naples here and europe programming yourself is this the right environment for you to do this i haven’t decided yet the time and i mean did you do use yourself experience right so i think that high performing people like to are always looking for that next newest so they get bored like people who said yes hi challenging but achievable goals and achieve a high frequency of this goals sure and then and just kind of you know this is how you wanna be absolutely i think of the brain as a computer so we can uninstall the old software and install new software there was a point in my life where i i i said to you off mike i’d never been depressed so i cannot judge people and how they just say okay and i’m happy let’s shoot for mars so it could be an entrepreneur could be an athlete it could be someone who’s like me i’m i’m more of a lifestyle entrepreneur off wear next newest upgrade wanna level up the software you know what i mean high performing people that means people that you know achieve what they put her as a goal and then large corporation american company and you know it’s just you get this this energy and you wanna move we want to be moving people realize the internet is here and it’s gonna stay so they take a little bit more seriously but you know it’s still not enough and i think i feel and how it is to be depressed because this is something i don’t know like i never use drugs so i cannot really jut somebody using drugs or smoke i never but it seems like a it’s a wonderful environment for someone who wants to focus and doesn’t want much distraction this study at uh-huh so my goal wasn’t to go make a billion dollars but i wanted to have you know three times more than my spending at all times coming in okay from whatever business i was involved you know fresh minded and go getters that really you know make up in the morning and and just crushing it twenty four seven and you’re right in miami there’s is that there’s a lot of entrepreneurial positive forward moving energy in miami but there’s also a lot of distraction in miami you know the funding you’re saying this i somehow somehow question myself this is the right place i wanna be rest of you know my youth say because i came from big city i used to work for l.
45:30 – 57:03
here in a business general is kind of interesting because and that’s my opinion strictly you know now is changing because some sort of upgrade what what what inspires me what interests me what’s the next level so let’s just say this we talk about your your you know somehow a little bit okay so you know it it just i can tell it’s bothers me like when somebody smoke in my face so i just i don’t like the smell of it so that’s the only thing but if that’s how i see it so so how you can you i mean if you let’s say if you the yoga guy and you don’t wanna be anymore just gonna be straight to cook the to describe it i just want to keep going it’s just you know something just driving me more than that that need or want to be on the beach i nobody smokes or not i don’t judge the people are still choice and i just wanna say you know when when i was here few years is wendy never seen the star wars i never you know some of the thinks what normal people do i don’t because i’m not abnormal scott adams is sort of a talking head last time on the beach you know when was the last year i don’t even i mean really i don’t even know whenever swimming last time seriously it’s just the debris komo asked me if i’ve ever fishing i was never under both fishing i live twenty three years and there was never fishing i mean just things you wanna develop you wanna create you want to be surrounded by people that that have you know say mind and then you come here and ever chills that just the lifestyle and that was always how my comfort zone okay so you know now did you get to the point you settle down enables now you are the point when european if you wanna do something and and this is perfect place for for life family life and a lot of benefits but if you really wanna be having career and working for a company the following something some some kind of trend of standard and and by following you he’s getting behind anybody so there’s not enough people that that is wonderful place and i don’t have time for it or i don’t create i’m for it but i just have so much in me to achieve something or create something i don’t even know how more hunger and maybe even different energy for it but here it’s just seems like if somebody can work just four days a week they will chill on the beach for three days as me when i was because i i feel say and by me keep going it’s kinda funny because a lot of times even you know look at the polls purdue i know a lot of times on the weekends they go they hang up on boats and they do stuff it’s just really you know i don’t know i mean people think i’m weird but that’s okay is there some time i go there i do live on facebook guide take pictures and that’s about it i don’t even think my shoes off you know it’s just like it’s embarrassing to say we live in it’s we post under divine apples you know facebook video doing the coffee shop a lot of times i helped working night and every time i started i always it’s gonna be really difficult in this city because there’s not many companies they can provide you with that of new york and washington DC and andorra places will probably more but you know then reason and just brings new new views on things is just sort of rushing you know she just really interesting because when you when you live here for you know few years you’ve kind of a there’s a there’s attention from all this surrounding i don’t know what that is but i mean do you finding enough people that are virus or same energy of fragrances you i would say that would be one of the drawbacks i agree with a lot of what you said naples is sort of like a warm bath it feels amazing and it’s relaxing but you don’t wanna stay in too long in your travels and you know and stuff he experienced you know on on different countries amazing so thank you you know we need somebody like this just shut me down don’t make me based on how did you start how did you start your entrepreneurial journey i’m curious you have so much different in father that that is very that actually i have to say that he was he was maybe it’s time to get this i’m i’m talking for five minutes you know describing something you can put nicely and beautifully in when i was maybe twelve thirteen wow first of all a lot to do with the life i live as a teenager julie right and the lifestyle that that that time was it was just very different cultures different people and and to me it’s just were we missing if you get in one place for too long you just kind of then you’d never leave and maybe you say that wchs you can get dorm in a lot of things you know you just you just numb you don’t receive or your brain doesn’t work like when he outside and you certainly said you know not a shift i love working night i have no competition because all of these leagues i just love this thing you know it’s just like if you think about you only worse in farming so for seven hundred years we have we had properties and lands and stuff like that and always farming and farming very opinionated and a lot of times end up in jail for that because that’s what the system did and then later on i found out the communist actually killed my grandfather and they took everything from from our family and uh-huh meeting interesting people that come from outside just get like you chill down i have opinion travel the world and you know have have just the story apar- till you’re gonna stuck to cook i mean he’s there possibility to sir programmers serve all you just heard that from born being born or the way how you live your life and board my first bike which was kind of strange because there were no to manila toma bills not many bikes so not too many i’m too old to travel i’m too he’s never true but you know just the fact that you bringing your views and your europeans here that you collect them so just the whole drive and everything that he put in his life i think i got those jeans and the DNA yes you know if you met some policemen it was it was bad luck or something happened so me twelve year old on a bike and moving in going on it’s amazing like in the history like when did i start when when did you think to okay let me just ask this question since this this whole podcast started being in uh-huh podcast begins and ends so no let’s say there’s a did you guys are you staying in kentucky lower now i i don’t speak with her anymore how can be moving because you know of course you don’t wanna go certain places so but i was twelve years old i made money by helping somebody rewards when they were like warm serious package it up and put it in a little bow for you yeah thank you that’s that’s perfect that’s perfect then how communist countries us thanks so we were throwing stuff over the river and trading like and i started you’re so they killed him and took everything away my father was three so he literally didn’t know didn’t know his his father and he put himself in self he’s not the most sexy job into all you know is very hard and we live in one around and my grandfather didn’t wanna give it to the community round and start traveling and start you know start figuring it out then i start throwing two different country the merchandise and we start tango dancer so i i wanted to check in to make sure she was doing okay down there and also just explore the city so the first thing i do tools and it just grew and grew and grew and then communist fell and i was already known so just continue and bigger events and i ended up in the doing i just make sure you know it’s always stays in limits but i always want explore wants to do something so in order to do this in communist country you need to be rating so i was living in a different country and and and we didn’t have certain things in our country they had more of that and we we had something they didn’t have like if you wanna be free you need to be able to be moving and bosses and you know all this the government owned the transportation is not perfect rating tapes because we didn’t have music so i still trading thanks for coffee and i became to be DJ because i had so much music and in the school they did this interesting interesting time now bringing them so i start being DJ so by like fourteen thirteen fourteen i was already DJ we have you would just wondered i’m taking over i’m interviewing okay so i go back i go back is there that i never stopped and when i was twelve my parents were divorced than in when i was i actually started oh you know i don’t want to say the country but the let’s say i live in new communist country i mean you can figure out by right but i’m not gonna say which country i his farm and everything he had because he had he was the only one had a tractor in the ara and they needed it after they were nobody to pay you for it but this is like ever vince they was having session for our session of music for three different from very early age that he will get everything back and that’s how lift through the commune so just imagine living forty some years life that kind of exploring i never listened to anyone i never listened to my mother and you know i didn’t have no fodder so i did whatever i wanted in limits i never got in trouble never are are forty five years life that you know you don’t have what belongs to you and somebody else had that and then later on you know he got everything back gotcha was unheard of yeah so so i started you know this started like little business which i didn’t get paid for because you know events like for seven eight hundred people and there was over weakened that’s yeah that that that was that was interesting amazing then i started getting paid for red and just an open first business when i turned eighteen next day after my birthday i was able to like legally open business i just went to uh-huh that’s just the always very optimistic person hero living life in communism we’ve become to be one so i went to the government and you know did wherever to do and and i remember when i said to my mother i’m gonna open a business and she says what is that i said well that’s you can do not have the works if somebody can refer self and she said that’s what you need this they walked in a bank vicious like a suitcase or some of them which shoe boxes and they fill those things with the money and went home and they were sitting chauvinism safety safety and this is how ex exactly the whole economy started you can walk i mean i have friends they did and i picked up five different companies so i selected very carefully the products you know something i don’t remember exactly what aren’t table and he’s like okay so now the money would i’m going to do some of them you know didn’t do the right thing and they like open business and failed and you know i never travelled by bus never scheduled anything i just kept going and always whenever i end up ivan inside the door and salt as how it was just the interesting to to think about right now that that the from beginning of my life you know i always an and i never took the and i never did this because i never crossed my mind is this easy road and i never picked easy road i always pick the harder and can mean thinks i do and just jump on the street he jake and just end up in the city and always sold and somehow sometime i got home night depends sir eighty nine amazing i heard about the black markets opening up into white markets during that time i studied this in school make me start talking about stuff i never talk about amazing what do you do to me nothing man just have more coffee yeah so i start handmade so some artist made three d.
57:03 – 77:06
map and that was displayed on different parts of the city and it was like an art and on those little shop ice cream store or you know what you probably gonna need choon have millions so why don’t they have millions and a national okay let’s good idea just me rau- entrepeneurship at its best it’s the best kind yeah but you know it just seems to me like if i will just go to the bank like everybody else and say hey parts they made those businesses that paid more bigger so they send out you know so in this whole graphic thing and there was interesting idea it because if you if you choose the easy way there’s much bigger chance you’re gonna fail and you you’re not going to learn anything guard no car no bicycle i just every morning i just look at a map and i pointed fingers this is where i’m going to go and i have backpack just make it look like i kept the money but some of the operating at the now but it was literally that easy to come to the bank and say hey i want to open a business and can i get some money going from businesses to businesses and i always ask what they do and you know opposite let me sell it for you right so because i have no problem to talk to people i mean it can nobody else can replicate them and that’s like to my heart and right now for instance would doing here it’s it’s all not a product was t shirts not a product like cleaning products and whatever i had had like five different companies imprisoning no business imagine you you know like everything’s owned by government and then two weeks later nothing is owned by government and if you wanna bread you need to find somebody who’s gonna bake it because it’s no more bakery the whole idea of this whole concept and even this podcast we doing right now is different and i’m glad to be doing it because you know people let’s just let’s agree in older thrice whoever but one of them was map like an advertisement my because they were doing some kind of three d map was way ahead of the times but easy and shortcut and one person oh we had this discussion with one of my friend and and she said you know that’s that’s good morning my name is margot wilson i would like to open business can i get some two million dollars on this what are you going to do i’m just going to open i started so this eighty nine that’s i mean i started basically eighty four maybe incredible this is how it started because if you choose the hardaway then then you know you’re going to get better and you’re going to get better than anybody else because experiences that you’re gonna have throughout the process really i have a couple of points that i am pulling away from your story which was amazing thank you i know that was a legendary time provocative the opportunity was on unbelievable if you had some sense of business and you showed up and and the way people spoke about that part of the world and when i say that part of the world i mean the former soviet union that part of the world but i’m not from russia as you for second i never heard that none of that you know just just everything’s different divine apples dot com is different i mean i kind of explained to you uh so so you know those people yesterday they didn’t meet the right time and the right moment and the right place to really know you so now they’re clueless will you truly are and when you come to the coffee shop have this conversation i heard you talking to marvin the local artists people in the street and you don’t know anything about him if they answering with a one word answer and perfect example you just told me now let me just continue to do i don’t wanna bore anybody here but you know it’s just i started selling for five different companies and kind of the hard way and even the coffee shop even menu the items on the breakfast you know we were thinking about all of that the very long time and i’m from russia despite could be but he doesn’t so that part of the world in the eighties was and i’m gonna say something yesterday night even and you just didn’t want to be alone and you end up in a bar we don’t gonna give them plug but you know you end up in bars sitting there loss and in the works where i knew some of them and one of them was ever employee has to be given soap unit at the right moment what he can learn what he can you know and you can have really different feeling from that human being or exchange and it’s amazing food so i i start picking up this big factories right so we have some of the factories five thousand employees ten thousand employees so other figured it out not using strategies right and i was sending this cleaning product and by government government had still some kind of old having this conversation and and kind of exposing myself a little bit my boss and my experiences is is just like we all are people we all have something and in place in certain like labor laws and stuff like that so i was like okay so i have this cleaning product which is basically soap right and i know that today over africa of initial i mean it sounds crazy right people say it’s too dangerous as if you’re a young man on the rise and you don’t know exactly we could easily just say okay we do pancakes and sausages everybody does that he’s fine everybody’s they’re disorganized easy you come here you see the menu and you’re gonna say okay let me think because i already heard somebody else at the problem if not the maybe just enrich people with the experiences we have through but you know it’s interesting you mean giving no samples immediately they were telling me everything they were telling me is in charge of this and this and that you know and normally nobody’s talking a- and if we can share information they can we can share to the experiences and we can share somehow that you know what we go through in life maybe for a future podcast i would love to hear your opinion on how you would do things over again knowing now knowing then what you know now every employee has to get one right so i don’t go to the factories and try to sell that because one sale was just taking cover me we’re just growing like mushrooms you know and you market everything is now open and people didn’t know what to do with that was just really interesting hearts explain because and i got to the point where i get smart so you know sunning well maybe it was the moment when i get smart maybe you know i get to the point where i stood nicely to security and give them anything so i wrote down everything and then went to dr did same thing and then went home try to doc them from inside so i went to the gate and you know those people on the gate what do you call them the security security so i started save some cash and so i had this author form and and i put the cash underneath of the second page and the you know what looking looking back to all this and having knowledge and information that i have today and sure grew up in this country you know i i mean i came you know sometimes people just don’t feel like talking about their pasta and stuff like that you just need to be in the moment and and it’s interesting if you can meet somebody good morning formation of all these people you know by just asking around and then one day i just went inside and here’s how i did i mean it was i for three hours almost you guys were pumping you know what i’m saying that the exchange here was so magical i didn’t i i was just whoa i wish for somebody to do this nevertheless i came to the to the first factory and i and what opportunities you would have targeted with all of that access to capital in a fresh brand new country opening up but anyway that’s no this is good now at that that particular time like you were saying they were opening businesses like crazy they were giving money away to start businesses like crazy this was a legendary where that’s happening not the most cautious but i knew the whole country was going through this change so i had to be creative just really quick i how to get to those factories so you know event i to observe multi and then i was brave enough to one of the things was like a ajax like the powder you clean dishes with sure so i had one of those and where you want to be and you want to be in a in a wild wild west atmosphere africa right now is going to be digitally let’s get let’s get out of here no i’m telling you because he and and she said clinic comeback and then we made or if you can clean so i was i was on a bathroom for three hours some people do a registered and just keep an had twenty years from now against the bill to happen to this guy and maybe if i do this did that you know this will help me down dirty hands but this is very good product you know it’s made in our country it’s it’s made by our hammocks or this just just said what is this i said well this can clean anything you know hard stones and everything she and she said to me okay there’s a we make coffee this uh-huh just receiving old any information and ideas you were throwing away in a in a and everything was just amazing so what i want to say is take time because i want to throw in a couple of bullet points of things i heard you say which because you you’ve touched on a couple of fascinating topics but please keep going what did you do you went under the and says look i have this cleaning product for the hands and i would like to offer to you i mean of course i cannot demonstrate because no nobody air in the offices it’s another left personnel alright start talking to you and you just as we’re not in the mood talk to anybody and then kaos bar steakhouse bar upscale stay governor anything and we will make it over and she said well you know i’m ready to go home i said well i’ve traveled fifty kilometers here too kinda give her the benefit of the product and then she said what else do you have i said well and i thought beginning i have five items five products and that’s not picking him up for my backpack and it up and there was so much settlement there was like a one centimeter like maybe quarter of inch of of settlement like the heart stone uh i don’t know maybe three thousand dollars wow that was huge huge order yes and and she said to me oh to demonstrate we have a good product and all this she said okay i’ll stay over so we did order and the way how are really daughter was you know she she ordered nevertheless so i showed up the week later just make sure the order came she was happy you know and i said to her would you the cleaning thing it was so hard to cinnamon out and both probably around four o’clock and i finally cleaned up money there and you know i flip the page and i said to her well if you sign this paper and we can add stuff to order you know then favor if you can call somebody else into the auto factory next to you you know somebody there and we can place the order i make should the order with her on seven pilots and seven policy was like a lot of products i don’t even remember what was the dollar amount value if you had to guess who believable that’s my answer to you’ll niaz go start business that’s what i did a couple of bullet points that pop up to me are two maybe we can discuss describe today i’m thinking of is very hard to describe how divorce and is you know this countries in places nevertheless came to there and and talking to this lady the the thanks for the hands because she had to so it was five thousand items and the second page instead of carbon copy i put cars which were working for the company and the and the owner of the company which you’re producing this cleaning products call me are you taking care of so she did she go and i went to the auto factory i may not order there and this is how i started the business he’s in eastern europe that had to be like you could buy like a car or a house for that or something like that three thousand dollars while it was more than i mean it can do a lot of things car and and and you’re gonna have whole country for yourself because i fired everybody so there’s always started i don’t think the average american has any idea what it’s like to live other places not to mention how lucky we are with with the things that we link it comes from here and they’re true geniuses on this not necessarily the products that you have strong brand are good or strong products you know just doing working for one company so vinai produced that month the auto i sold more than three full-time cells people form clean uniform and some order of products once a month and that was the communism kind of you know sitting still coffee what do you call it the the metal thing you make coffee tea kettle cuddle yes she said look at that and kenneth clean it so i opened the make educated purchases before somebody’s been dollars the they usually educate themselves before they do that if it’s cars jeans in a future episode or what was it like to live in a communist country period and then also when the change happened what was the change like sister diamond carbon copies you know they used to do for you know no mobile phones no pagers no none none of that i mean he’s just i if you wanna make a phone call to somebody rents because in europe for instance the people don’t really care about a lot of brands they care more about the you know the quality because people i will say cultures their latin cultures are black belts their absolute experts at living in the moment la dolch evita right tayfun we we had no other ways and pay on was like one you know the phone booth per village on field i’m in the city very hard aim items that everyone around you has how about starting to try you know instead of doing coffee maybe add ice cream or gelato or could you and then you see them recoil like go and buy it make that move but when they do they feel comfortable they know they did the right decision they don’t doubt and dave or do they never do garage sales because yeah yeah and she goes like any cleaner i hardly could put my hand in it she said well there’s water in the bathroom right it was one o’clock for example new greek yogurt shabani you’re serious just just the experts on the branding and that is also related to people how the consumer so like the good life it’s we’re not that great in the united states at slowing down and being with each other in the moment and enjoying the this this copy will stay here with you just you just look at it and she said okay let’s review again to order so she i basically closed but then as we get to know each other better he will or she will complain my businesses going down the economy’s not good m- occurrence the currency is not healthy american attention on innovation the iphone six seven eight nine ten we have to have a new iphone every year there’s a something about american culture that makes us whatever it is they always they’re not impulsive buyers you know there are more like a educated buyers and takes time for them to really a special maybe we should consider selling something different than the two people that are on your within the person on your left in the person on your right instead of offering the exact same iphone which i technically bought this new to me i bought it this year in april but the fact is i don’t really need those shiny things and i’m not a person of material stuff same exact thing for the same exact price and the cafe owner will be happy and personal and take the time to get to know me want to improve improve improve and change and latin culture off and i think the focus is on enjoying in the joining the moment and both things we can learn from both things and i still was not affected enough to change DNA and i did i have to have everything and latest things so you know i come outside we just think sparky and the come to her office and she looked at me and she said i thought you left i said no he told me to call you you know i’d rather do something else instead of the money then then spend them on something i don’t even use an the value is not there so i don’t you know the quality may not be there but the the way how they branded and they make multi billion dollar industry out of you know something like this ah coffee or that glass of wine but we are really really good at finding something that’s working okay and making it better yeah this is what i want to just say this is awesome because i think if he keeps going doing this weekend maybe inspire somebody heal africa and start you know using our manuals and do please come back and she said please come back next month we cannot repeat this right so this was the biggest order i i mean in that nineteen years old and the eighty do you really think so i think so and i think the italians have the best coffee so we could just create a peace treaty between the two countries and he said just come to the company next week you’re going to get a car i said oh well i don’t really want car he said no you’re going to become to be employee and you’re going to go oh my god i can’t change anything i just did now no it’s okay i’ll just keep everything the way it is i’m i’m happy in the moment so he’s looking for the news the latest model and and has to have it like my iphone is five s.
77:07 – 73:28
e. people laughing at me because i have old in from france and which one is it it is called doce salata oh yeah yeah well you know it’s it’s here in downtown really nice restaurant can you know read my paper and have one of amazing cappuccinos and he just kinda glares out me like dude you can’t sit here all day yeah you need comparing to let’s say two different continents countries and and it’s it’s for me it’s i’m living so it’s it’s interesting you i’m so glad that you have created the space and naples is going to be you know ten percent happier now that we have this this place somehow we compete with them okay never mindless no i like what they do they have their own clientele to people go there for years i mean then maybe we would win you know and actually there’s a restaurant here in naples that does italian coffee and they they shipped their pastries you saying it but i understand exactly when you don’t come up you know sometimes people just forget that they do need some of this stuff and they come to the way i don’t know what to do right and i might suggest an american as i am you know some improvements like maybe we should do yes i i think that in often when i travel i’ll see cafe next to another cafe next to another cafe everyone is selling the come to enjoy coffee and conversation and good relationships that’s awesome well i just want to wrap it up because even talking over our and something we may be boring some people money too and i’m thinking like you’re from italy do you know the deal this is what you know this is the thin so he for years he was kind of tough you kind of looked at me funny and cuts sliced in front of you the place to go to he’s kind of grumpy bastard to be honest i know there’s etonians it’s like i camp out there sometimes and yeah i got it i mean united states is great on on branding this country and the whole idea brent yeah i agree with you yeah i mean different cultures and different countries will offer an experience different things and you know speaking of iphone like an open the business and start selling that was my first thing so what i did was i i found because the company appear with our with our with the way americans think just the way we think about commerce is like we were talking
