Iman Gadzhi: First Podcast on a Private Jet, money at young age & growing up without a dad

you have to deal with big stress right and as we are all right now in a private jet my first question is are you happy I would find it disrespectful to ask someone who's in the middle of a war are you happy it's like does it really [ __ ] matter you're doing what you need to do I'm gonna show you the 17 money secrets I am probably one of the most stoic people you'll ever meet I just don't feel pressure I don't know what it is never gonna do like a little wave of humanity

and you're like ah no you really don't give a [ __ ] you tell me look at me straight in the eyes and I'll tell you I don't feel that pretty much everything I do I do forever for the people around me so sometimes I feel that and I go [ __ ] man like why why me wait you're about a jet or you're flying first class business class or whatever people look at you they're like oh this guy looks like a trust fund kid no and and then they say is he what does your

dad do and it was Bloody the response you said no no never met the guy 26 27 I want to spend 40 percent of everything I think and Save 60. basically every three to four years that percentage increased it by ten percent because I want to die with no money and I'm not giving my son anything zero zero [ __ ] that was the ultimate goal for Iman gatsi [Music] um project today we are doing something different today we have our first podcast in English he's called imangazi he's only 23 and we're not in a

regular studio where the [ __ ] are we human we're sort of private jet bro like life is crazy well first of all welcome Iman you're welcome to my destiny foreign [Music] thank you thank you for uh thank you for having me on I know obviously you guys don't usually do English yeah I'm very honored and we're gonna make an exception bro it's the first person and I want to explain a bit of why we're here no because I can imagine people can see the background and the background is not our studio but it's I

don't know like a 20 000 kilometers above Budapest right now and this this all came to be because I texted him like a while ago I was like I have a huge respect for what you do respect for everything you've kind of built know and we've been I've been following for a while he takes it back and he said he's seen the podcast and he wanted to make it happen and I was like of course whenever you want he's like okay like in a couple weeks I'm fine for Budapest London if you guys want to

hop on uh the jet I'm flying you guys are used to doing like special locations for the podcast so let's make it happen in the January you guys have done some of the sickest locations give a bit more of context we got Jesse here filming with us he's our main family he does everything with us shout out Justice shout out to Jesse and bro Jesse trips over you like he'll be in the office I go bro you see the new Iman video man and they eat it's very good very good he's from Albanian fully focused

Jim bro you know and he just swims over here and we're coming over he said I want to give him like a gift do you mind if I give him a gift bro like I'll go ahead and he's like I got him like a Marvel whale because he loves whales and I was like okay I hope this is true I hope it's true I don't know is it right what did you think about the gift it's beautiful remember I I pulled it up and then I left lifted up my sleeve and I'm in a well

that's been in the video where we have it it was sick but what does the will represent so the whale was kind of a bit of a inside joke of one of my companies sometimes you refer to clients and whatever industry you're in as whale clients oh I caught a whale and then it just started catching on and then I remember this maybe in 2018 I hit my first ever it was like 150 or 200 000 months or something that was very big head and I was like I need to celebrate so I just ordered

myself a massive whale statue and then it just kind of from there it kind of snowballed and became a thing and he's a is the Unicorn going to be the next tattoo or I can't imagine if you guys don't have any tattoos you know bro what version yeah would you ever consider it yes we yeah I think we've had opportunities I'm a bit of a [ __ ] to be honest like uh I I've heard of these like really good pop-ups where like they have Adam Warner status yeah some people get like uh tattoos of

this like really cool brand except that's wait maybe we also have a bunch of audience coming here that don't know us and know Iman and come from him hey we kind of have a clothing brand it doesn't look bad we have we have a brand we have to be too humble we know we have a brand that's doing very decent and yeah we have the pop-ups where people get our name tattooed and stuff not my name personal because that would be very weird but uh the Brand's name I know we've we've bitched out every time

like I think one day we'll we'll go man we'll dress like Iman with his suits and stuff and start and start considering the next tattoo but hey you also you took a good break from podcast no you had a wow where you did a bunch of them now I think you told me you weren't doing any I'm off podcast so I've declined any requests for the last I think the eight months and I think definitely for at least in the six months maybe another year no more podcasts how's your Spanish by the way you got

any words that last time I know all the ones you need to know like Bonita okay no this is yeah my first question for for today is um ready to something that I I had you seen and I know sometime where you were talking about the the levels of stress that you have uh when you start making certain levels of money right and I remember you said that at the like at the point you are right now you have to deal with big stress right and as we are all right now in a private jet

my first question is are you happy you know that's a very interesting question this is something I've been thinking about a lot recently because I find it almost and I know you don't mean it in a bad way I find it weird or almost insulting when people ask me that all right here's why because listen I may not be what other people consider happy wish for me happy when other people are talking about they just mean like peace so let's do have peace in your life I may not have peace I may not be happy

but like does it really matter when I go for Sunday lunch with my mom and my chauffeur picks her up in a million dollar Phantom and at lunch I asked her it's my mom's birthday and after tomorrow actually and ask her do you want a apartment in London or Dubai for your birthday like dude there's a really actually [ __ ] matter that all those times that I was unhappy like does it really matter when last month went to Nepal and we visited you know we only got a chance to visit Three schools but visited

three schools that I built over the last four or five years thousand of kids who get education does it really matter when I go to my employees wedding and he's so happy and grateful he's like bro this entire wedding the reason I can treat my wife and make all this possible is because of the opportunities that are afforded to me by working at your company and the fact that I've been able to financially flourish ever since working at your company and obviously put in so much hard work but still like for me I'm just like

there's a really [ __ ] matter like you say you would sacrifice a little bit of Peace but I'm saying to be honest like the outcome is I don't give a [ __ ] about happiness I I do believe that there is a Divine Purpose why each of us are here there's certain things that you guys can do that I simply cannot do and I'm not gonna try to step into your lane that I think some people shouldn't step into my lane which is why I always give the warning to people that listen if you

want my life it comes with a lot of torment and not much peace because and then they listen you could be in a private jet shirt we're having a great conversation this time or many times when you know I'm flying I'm flying private my mind is racing I'm not you know unfortunately I'm not looking out the window and looking at the clouds and you know maybe that is also a testament to where I um I don't know if you guys ever read the book uh King uh king warrior magician lover no it's like these four

different archetypes and each man kind of goes to these different archetypes and I'm definitely still in that Warrior Stage there will come a day where you know I've tried I do look out the window and I look at the clouds but that day isn't today I love them so for me I'm just very self-aware of why I think I'm here and why I think I'm here it is to take care of at first it was my mom and it was my friends and then it was my company and that it was my philanthropy and now

I feel like it's the greater good of the world and I just don't prioritize happiness because for me I think you can prioritize happiness but in a way it's almost very selfish because by the way listen like men need to step up and they need to do things where they want to do it at all like I I would find it disrespectful to ask someone who's in the middle of a war you happy it's like does it really [ __ ] matter you're doing what you need to do and you're doing it to protect the

people that you I didn't do it with that intended you know listen I know of course it's a good probing question I don't you know I don't mean in this situation but yeah I said for me I just think it's uh it's it's a bit futile sometimes the only thing I would argue you know and it's been something I've thought about a lot is that I think these type of lives where you're where you devote yourself a lot to work or to a bigger outcome no anything you can think of things start going very fast

because everything starts happening or you're doing this you're fighting this place and it doesn't stop and for me looking back and we've only been on the in this journey for like four years now so it's quite early but I look back and I think like [ __ ] maybe there's certain times I would have wished I would have enjoyed it a bit more instead of thinking about the next thing and then because you if you're if you have an ambitious lifestyle though you're always going to be thinking about the next big things so do you

ever like do you feel like you enjoyed certain moments or you get to get the joy out of even if you're working in traveling do you enjoy those moments or is still sacrifice and like for example I no I enjoy moments but I enjoy moments in a different way than most people think like for example I got delivery of my Phantom two weeks ago again my friends were like Phantom Rolls-Royce Phantom for people don't know and you know and I'd already spent 400 grand old cars that week There's a second car about that week and

you know my friends are like oh shoot and you enjoy it and I'm like why it's just a car like who gives it like for me I think it's more concerning if you look at the car and you're like that makes your weak like that doesn't make my week for me the Phantom is like I can do it so why not I mean the jet is I'm very fortunate I'm very blessed and I have my team my friends my family God to thank for this as well like I do it because it's comfortable but I

I don't know for me I don't need to sit here and think oh blah blah blah like for me I get my joy I think it's important to get joy I think it's important to appreciate little moments okay but like for me a little moment was I'm about to go in Nepal when we were visiting the schools and when you say the school's as cool as they made no tell us I mean more about it so basically in 2019 I started taking uh profits from one of my companies and using that to build schools in

Nepal okay so we build schools for thousands and thousands of kids why Nepal I get that question a lot basically it's not necessarily about Nepal it's about making sure the money goes to the right place and it's funny if you go to and listen for me I don't want to donate a half a million dollars or a million dollars a year to Red Cross and be like cool tick I don't I'm a good person like for me like I actually really care about what we do in upon I care about making sure the projects go

in the right direction so it's funny if you go to Charities and you say hey every year I'd like to donate half a million dollars a year wherever let's say even ten thousand dollars a year most of them just think you're laundering money or they think they're doing something fishy or they're like they don't they don't take you seriously because it almost seems too ridiculous so I was very lucky to be put in contact with uh Allen who's the chairman of for heart trust and we've had a good relationship over the last four years I've

built many projects together so anyways that's a little bit about the ball it's insane I I wouldn't I want to go I mean first to the beginning especially right now you're 23 you're super successful You're Building like schools in Nevada it's just mind-blowing right but uh I've heard that you had a really tough childhood you were you you didn't meet your your father or yeah so basically my biological father was an alcoholic abusive and yeah apparently alcoholic abusives are very charming and there's all drunk so my mom was young and naive and she stayed with

him for some time but when eventually she was pregnant obviously he's not just affecting one person at that point he's affecting two people not only giving them all to black guys and leaving her bloody to ruse at that point to uh he's affecting me as well and I think that's when my mom really had the courage to finally leave and I had a very simple for the first four years I had a very similar childhood I grew up in a place called Pakistan in Russia my grandma raised me which was my grandma and grandpa I

should say which was very nice I was in a little farm that my grandpa built with his own two hands there was no toilet so you would go take a right right pass the chickens and cows black and white TV black and white TV that whole thing and um you know lunch would be a soup made of whatever you could find in the fridge so the soup would be like potato and leaves and chicken with the Bones still in it like [ __ ] Nails literally anything they could find in especially as you remember right

because you were four years old I have a lot of photos and I have those fond memories and you know over the years after what I could go back it kind of brought everything back to life so that happened and then eventually my mom was in Moscow for work and she ended up meeting my stepdad they dated for like a year year and a half then they moved to London together kind of tried living together that she proposed we got married I moved to London I moved to London and my life totally changed you know

it was like something out of a fairy tale and things were okay I mean listen they didn't have a very happy relationship but he was a very he wasn't around much and he was a very uh very evil man in many ways he was uh would disciplined me that was for sure he wanted you and your mom to be like dependent on him in some way or of course of course yeah listen he was if you start getting into conditions and stuff like that uh you know he ticked every box for a psychopath or sociopath

uh narcissus sedanist he was whatever that's a very long story The Crux of it is that by the time that was eight or nine years old he kind of cut us off kind of my life changed entirely at that point where you know he wasn't setting us much money he was sending her a little bit of money just to take care of her and myself and eventually cut us off and my mom went back to working two three jobs and that was very very painful for me to see you know my mom going through a

very two very difficult relationships one I didn't get to see one I did see very clearly and there'd be I remember there was six months where my mom did not leave her room I genuinely I didn't think she was gonna make it she was very on the break so seeing that at the at a young age it definitely it has to like me and Alex talk about it quite a bit but I think we've both been very lucky with our parents and how they've raised us and I think they've given us some very decent values

and it's been very different no but I think we're very grateful and when we meet the most unbalanced people I think I've ever met personally when I dig a bit deeper into their background it usually comes from unbalanced homes you know and I've seen like a very deep correlation of like oh how was your childhood that kind of shapes you even this part as the Diary of a CEO I don't know if you know the broadcasters from the UK he always starts with like oh so how's your childhood no and I was because I think

it really does shape you and seeing you from the outside I know from what we what we've seen that very like man that has to take care of everything has to suffer type of thing it like it makes sense no it comes from your mom not being able to take care of herself and being having as a 10 year old child and now I don't know how old you were being happy to be the man of the family you know that's things I think guys usually don't have to do you know I always say you

either do something out of inspiration or desperation and obviously you guys were inspired to do everything that you do it's up to you completely no because I think even coming from a very wealthy family or having a very wealthy background can even be detrimental for you though because that motivation you're saying that comes out of desperation bro when you have everything in life and when your dad has given you anything you've ever wanted there's no no sense of desperation in any sense no there's no sense of suffering there's no sense at least in that context

so I think it's sometimes even harder to do once you've had everything when you were younger you know today you know but you've had the the craziest lifestyle no one for me it'd be like yo what you have a lot of more life to live you know like what's next yes sorry just remember one story I was very very beautiful story about one guy that um and I think like he lost his dad or like he was abandoned like his dad something like that and he started a YouTube channel himself teaching kids how to do

certain things that that's typically teach you like for example he he made videos about how to how to prepare or I don't know how to change a tire yeah he made all this type of videos and he had this crazy story about like losing his dad or something like that well and I already like I I thought it just was amazing and right now it just made me I thought something I don't know if there's something in a mission about your content because I think your content is oriented about helping many men in general become

the best versions of their of themselves do you feel like that moving you to make what you do so it is a massive disadvantage and I think it's something that I definitely want to help men with whether they have a father or not because that's the other interesting thing is I had no dad but that meant that I could be the man that I wanted to be and that's the interesting thing it's because a lot of people they may have fathers but I'm gonna be honest most men are exceptional men and most men don't have

good wisdom and don't have good advice and most men haven't live a broad enough life and have good enough a good enough life experience to truly impark wisdom on their son so the thing is if you have a father and your father doesn't think correctly you may absorb 10 you may absorb 20 you may absorb 50 or even 80 of what he believes in what he if what he believes is wrong and he is in the right direction or is in the right guidance well then you're already at a disadvantage so in a weird way

I almost had a greater advantage and I get clearly I just brought on a full clean slate and most of the time a majority of the time it goes wrong but in my example as said once again I'm very grateful to my mother I'm very grateful to the people I had around me I'm very grateful to God I'm very grateful for the direction I've had because yeah I was able to become the man that I wanted to be and I'm not perfect I still have [ __ ] I'm 23 I'm not as crazy you know

I'm not insensitive to my age and I'm not insensitive to the fact that I have a lot more life to live but I feel like I every day take one foot forward and step in the direction of the man that I want to be and yeah let's go back just a tiny bit in the sense that for people that maybe don't know while we're in a private jet is not because of us we can't afford this so it's definitely you and and that's when I want to get into like Spanish audience they're thinking like what

are you doing what is this a guy do and that's kind of when I want to break into like where does the money come from and how you start just briefly the start but more now like the sources of income right now very long story is in a lot of people look at my career and business and stuff and they go oh wow you're a genius and you did this after this after this and it's like no when you first start I'm sure for example when you guys started a new project they're like okay we're

gonna do this one thing you never [ __ ] thought that it would turn it yeah it wasn't a business ban there was no idea you know you just put one foot forward so basically what happened was obviously I was broke and I wanted to take care of my mom and I saw a few little side hustles when I was like 14 and started flipping Instagram accounts and like building up Instagram accounts up and then selling shout outs and buying other Instagram accounts and all the stuff and then I started I told you guys yesterday

I started learning about Fitness and personal training and this and that and I basically hustled my friend's parents and convince them to let me personal train them for like 20 pounds an hour and I sold them like two month packages and stuff like that and then eventually that led me on to picking up a camera and learning how to work a camera and stuff like that and I started doing freelance photo video stuff for people and then that turned into having an agency a creative agency and that was great and that helped me hit my

first you know twenty thirty thousand dollar a month which by is incredible amazing money but it's for me it came with a lot of stress and headache which I have a lot more headed stress and headache now but it's a different kind of stress back then you know clients were asked me you know this is great but what's the return on investment and that would just pissed me off so much because I have a very sort of like logical analytical person and that's kind of how I got my store in advertising so late 2017 early

2018 I've transitioned into having an advertising agency did that for a few years then from their ability e-learning platform at that point I was starting to toy with the idea software because I realized like you know I'm telling people to use softwares that I thought were inferior and I'm sending some of these softwares hundreds of thousands of dollars a month in business you know because my audience was very wealthy agency owners they're spending a lot of money on softwares because you need some software is to run the company and this and that actually one of

my agency clients her husband eventually came to me and was like listen I want to start the software company with you I've already started it it was in a totally different industry and after a couple years playing with the idea I was like finally you know what let's do it and that was the first software company I started in 2020 that thing has taken off I've bought other software companies since then um also the e-learning company has grown as well it's our number one way to get customers for the software so it's cool because we'll

get customers for the e-learning and then because they build their agency and they grow their age and transition to then they use all my other software companies as well is it the software agency flow is it the number the number one and like income Source right now or no it depends whether you mean cash flow or whether you mean uh net worth and yeah because that's the other thing you know in terms of ever talking about what it's done for my wealth then it's it's not even a question it has to be the software companies

because you're getting 10 to 15 times Revenue and also our margins are so insane because yeah you don't advertise for the software companies right so that's in terms of wealth but in terms of cash flow the e-learning company has taken off in the last six to nine months in a okay a crazy way and do you have any Partners in any of these businesses no no I have right hand people that have percent a percentage of profit share in one of my software companies I have a business partner equity but uh yeah apart from that

I have Partners but they get profit yeah on equity and man like main the main person like main percentage of the company is all yours you know for the e-learning company like uh how does it work do people pay a subscription if you need to access all the content or how so with that it's a one-time fee and then we're moving to subscription very shortly and then some of the for some of that more advanced stuff we have subscription stuff so many other stuff I have eyewear company as you guys know and I've started investing

in the last two years I've started investing in maybe 10 15 different companies um because I get so many offers on the table because people know I have area and I have an audience I get a lot of offers for uh to invest in different companies and stuff like that so yeah I'll tell you guys that stuff I kind of keep a little bit more in the wraps yeah until you guys off camera but a lot of companies that you probably use and have heard of um and probably for me I have a lot of

respect just out of the bag for anyone any entrepreneur that does it all by themselves has Instant Respect for my side because I thing it's so [ __ ] hard like just the world of business is quite tough as a thing because it's just a lot of outputs a lot of inputs a lot of people dealing with a lot of humans and for me having Alex has been [ __ ] amazing because like we both started with nothing we started with no big idea of like yo there's gonna be a million dollar band it was

just like oh let's do this and then all of a sudden everything we've had to deal with our life has changed completely but he kind of understands me like I have one person in this planet even about my I love my parents okay I love them to death they'll never fully understand because they've been in different situations in their lives you know and I only have one person to fully understands me bro we'll go home we live together so doing it alone it's a different movie no but you guys deserve your [ __ ] flowers

because listen to do to be in your early 20s to have 70 employees to have physical stores bro that's a lot of [ __ ] responsibility and not only that like I feel as though you guys you guys have like the weight of the culture in Spain like you guys like people look up to you you know people are always watching you every single move so it's that's a lot of that's a lot of [ __ ] pressure but what you said bro and I don't know if it was off camera if it was on

camera like what matters is keeping it you know like we've had a small taste of what it could be and now let's keep it and let's keep going and that's what scares me you know because it's like bro content is so hard to be relevant constantly and we're content based company I would say no everything we we try to translate this lifestyle to into the red it's content content and being on the latest platform being on Tick Tock doing the extract doing everything bro what drives you crazy at times you know because it's non-stop like

there's literally you're here right now we're talking bro there's 20 people trying to be human or 20 000 maybe is more is more like you know so it's and they want exactly what you have they want the private jet they want the lifestyle they want everything that comes with it so it's like when you get to assert the points everyone is not that before I feel like you have no pressure because like I have nothing to lose now you have a lot to do you know you you're supporting your mother and you have a [

__ ] film crew you have Securities it's like you have a lot of people in your payroll so bro that's when it gets like have you ever felt that pressure like yo you have do you have a person to talk to where you can be like yo this is a person that will get me I think listen I have a lot of people in my life that have had a lot of pressure but it's it's interesting because there's a few different types of pressure there's the financial pressure and then there's the social media pressure and

like there's so many different ass and then there's like the pressure of being in your 20 like early you know in your 20s with access to money women basically whatever whatever the [ __ ] you are right and all of these are different pressures so I've met people who understand the pressure of money I've met people who understand the pressure of social media I've understand you know I've met people that understand the pressure of having pretty that access to pretty much whatever you want at a young age finding people who understand the pressure of all

those Maya is it boxes is very very difficult because listen you may have a you know someone a mentor to you who understands start a business at a young age but he didn't have social media thrown in there he didn't have the people's you know the people's people's opinion you know he we're talking about this last night you guys get [ __ ] 50 million people view your [ __ ] every single month that's a lot of eyeballs that's a lot of opinions and that that can take a toll on some people like I will

say I am probably one of the most stoic people you'll ever meet I just don't feel pressure I don't know what it is actually it's never gonna do like a little wave of email hey and you're like ah no you really don't give a [ __ ] you tell me look at me straight in the eyes less than a liquid screen I'll tell you I don't feel that sometimes what I feel is I feel a little jaded sometimes like it's not it's not the pressure gets to me it's the [ __ ] man like why

and this maybe happens twice a year where I go [ __ ] man like why why me like why am I the person who has to do all of this for everyone uh you know because listen of course everyone sees my life and they see this and that and yeah I'm sure I may have some nice things around me better than day like I can all see you from the ball in my heart say everything I do pretty much everything I do I do forever for the people around me so sometimes I feel that and

I go [ __ ] man like why why me and then they usually last for like 10 minutes then I snap out of it and I remember my favorite book it's a book called Atlas Shrugged I actually have it tattooed here on me okay Atlas holding up the world okay and I realize I said I think some of us do have Divine Purpose while we're here I think I was given a certain life because I believe that I'm here for a specific reason and all of the blessings like when I feel Jaden I just remember

that all the [ __ ] lessons everything I have around me everything that all my friends and my team and everyone gets to benefit from that's because I took the pressure on my shoulders and it's an honor like it should be you know I always say it's an honor not a job you know like for me this [ __ ] is an all or no job I'm feel honored that I get to do this and yes it's difficult yes very few people understand but that's an honor that was bestowed on me so I'm grateful for

that well it was that big mission what do you think is your purpose listen I think from year to year it changes you know and I think back in 2018 2019 I think it's like foolish to say like I'm Gonna Change the World and I still don't believe I'm gonna [ __ ] change the world but you have to believe it no in some sense no because I don't think you could change you don't think Steve Jobs changed the world I think he made a bunch of lives better but at the end they like tell

me honestly if your life truly if unless you knew about Apple products truly would be changed if you had an Apple product compared to Samsung products if you didn't know Apple products existed Samsung you would not [ __ ] know the difference you would go along your life and be like Samsung's great I love Samsung right so I think listen I think it's very important to be very honest with yourself what I'm trying to accomplish because some people are here and trying to say I'm trying to change the [ __ ] world I know I'm

never gonna do that but if I can make if I can nurture the next generation of men I feel like that will have a ripple effect if I can do right by my team if I can do right by my people if I can build some schools that will be there for hundreds of years and do some of the other philanthropic things I do you're a businessman no but towards YouTube you're kind of a motivational speaker you know you bring out a motivational speech for the kids to be like yo I want to be like

him or I want to do this or at least I want to find my own way but I would say you're not the typical guy like when we grew up like the motivational speakers were like in front of the a Ferrari and they're like you want this car well come come along and it was like it felt a bit more fake you know of it it worked initially because there was the clickbait of the Ferrari and the guy and you're like okay that I kind of want that but I think that doesn't work anymore you

don't see it as much no I wasn't saying Evolution there's been an evolution type of content and I think what's cool with you is that you kind of show both sides of the atlas in some sort of say you have like this that you come among mode which we'll call about and then you also show that even though you're working out that you're also having fun no you're enjoying yourself you go out Palms trips vacation you should say hi to the pilot okay hello sir let's go back to okay Bank mode yeah we really love

this concept of yours something I've applied in my life honestly I need something um that we look we live by we we have this is we kind of say that we live happy in the this balance how would you say that yeah like we also don't have a balanced lifestyle and people ask us like oh how is it no don't you want about because everyone sells their balance is the good thing no and we say like yo we're very happy in the in comfort of this balance right now at least for now for now yeah

for now I don't know what I'm gonna be like in my 30s I have no idea and I don't want to go ahead but I'm happy with the non-balanced young people I think we get so distracted with phones constantly like anything messages it's just a constant stimulation of things and focus is something that we're gonna start valuing even more nowadays because it's so hard to find yeah Tick Tock [ __ ] with your focus that's anything that you consume on social media I think kind of just breaks you breaks you from that razor sharp Focus

which you need to create big things you know and tell us I'll let you talk what else is about what is monk mode so monk mode is a protocol that I formulated started in 2019 with sort of 2020 I started talking about it properly it was just very similar to you guys that I like basically go big or go home I like the I like the extreme so milk mode is anywhere from 21 to 90 days okay you can choose the thing is I don't think it's smart for someone to come in who's super sloppy

unfocused and life's a mess and just do 75 days or 90 days from the get-go so I wanted to make it something as short as 21 days 21 days is really the minimum you want to do and I wanted to set it so they're minimum variable so for example one of the minimum variables or mandatory variables that you have to do is 15 minutes a day of meditation because for me like there's nothing that's more important than like sitting with yourself and just understanding the demons and the chaos in your brain you know exercise daily

exercise and the other thing is no alcohol or no weed I know weed is a very some people are like oh it makes me focused uh cool I don't know the people that say that makes them Focus that's your friends I personally don't agree and also [ __ ] you this is okay uh so those are like the mandatory variables and then you can add one to three others right so one variable may be okay you want to pray once a day or maybe another variable is you want to do I've done it before where

I do no caffeine just to try that or no uh a certain amount of screen time per day screen isn't on your phone hat so you can add all these extra variables so that way you can kind of customize it and it's flexible because it said I don't like protocols or too rigid because it's unrealistic and the thing I like about monk mode is bro even girls like girls like oh are you a monk mode and like they understand like it's something that people can understand whereas like 75 how hard a girl's not going to

be like oh are you currently 75 Harding layer you know so monk mode is just something it's easy for people to visualize and it was a data I guess it just kind of took off I know you how long we're going right now I know you're chilling ah he's got the whiskey now he's chilling and how was your practice of the year like is it only 21 days a year or I'd say it depends on how it feels usually around half the year okay and usually it depends on where I am it's location dependent because

there's some places where it's a lot easier to do it and also there's times a year like for example when I go back to Dubai after my Europe travels I'm gonna do monkey mode because it's also it's like mid April to mid-may it's hot there's no there's so many people that are visiting and at least you're just gonna be at home in my villa football boxing every day meditating working so doing the no alcohol and all this other stuff is easy it's very easy but when you're traveling like London London used to be my Poland

for a long time so when I go to London it's yeah wavy no okay and when it when you're not in monk mode you're going crazy no because yeah I see you I follow you on Instagram I know you have all the lavish crazy lifestyle no you're all around you're on a boat you're on a yeah you're you're different faces do you like is there are you working there too always work we're always working that's the thing like if you see me at uh dude I'll be on a yacht with 15 girls a bunch of

friends all this stuff and bro I'm just sat there working 24 7. so do you fully get to enjoy no you really don't hey wake up with that back I don't know and here's the other thing you know because I post stuff on social media like or at least my my YouTube is serious yeah my Tick Tock and other stuff I don't know my team just repurposes my Instagram to me don't ever look at my Instagram and take it seriously like my Instagram is literally sometimes on board and I'm like okay cool let's take some

photos my friend's hair drop me and let's post it I'm not trying to be a good business guy I'm not trying to tell you how to live life I'm not trying to give you any value my Instagram is zero value it's just for some people I guess motivational because they see the life I live and you know and of course we still I still post stuff about giving back and what I'm doing and stuff with my mom and this and that but my Instagram just like a little [ __ ] show it's just a little

it's just a bunch of photos and do you think like to a guy that from the outside looks at your Instagram and says yo this guy's a douchebag this guy thinks it's just my Instagram is I don't care because I'm the other thing is like I know realistic anyone was on my Instagram 80 of people on my Instagram come from YouTube yeah so like on YouTube they're like okay I understand his business but he's gone through and then they're like they celebrate my life because they're like [ __ ] I know what it took for

him to live the life that he's living yeah and the other 20 I don't care you know [ __ ] this guy because I look like a trust fund but but oh that is funny I Jesse who's helping us for the podcast and he said uh he wrote this thing that you probably set down or something and it was like when you're about a jet or you're flying first class business class or whatever people look at you they're like oh this is a good guy looks like a trust fund kid no and and then they

say is it what does your dad do and and it was funny the response you said don't know never met the guy I thought I was crazy I thought I was crazy but it's it's true and I think what you one thing you said it was very important was if people truly see what it takes to get there and I think you've done something that's very exceptional that maybe not a lot of people have done would just document your life since you were like 16. like how many people have actually filmed all of their upcomings

from 16. people could actually celebrate your success they'll always be jealous people and envious I think it's normal and it's part of human because they identify with the struggles people identify more with the struggles of the guy of the character than with the victories right and if you're showing if you're showing everything in the other day it's like okay he'll show the good things and people will be like yo [ __ ] you man he made him bro he's amazing in the opposite side if it gets fishy when no one knows what you do where

the money comes from or why you're being able to afford this you know because I feel like people instantly get an investigation motor like what the [ __ ] does this guy do you know what does he really do interesting thing about my channel is you can go back and you can sort from oldest and look at videos in 2015 where uh broke and I'm like this little eclipse of me being like Oh my God I can't be I can't wait to be able to afford Uber like bus sucks I there's videos of me being

like yeah there's this healthy food place but it's like 10 pounds so I can't afford that like so that's why I have to keep eating [ __ ] wow like it's crazy bro the [ __ ] that I have and all the way down to like me signing my first client and being like Oh my God this is crazy this even in 2016 there's videos of me and I'm like oh I set my goal this year 2016 is really the first year that I kind of took business seriously and I saw her halfway into the

year I remember August it was after a breakup actually first or a breakup I came back and I was like okay time to stop because I was reading a bunch of books and I was meditating and I was doing all these positive things I was like it's time to [ __ ] make some money I set the goal uh it was end of August to make 15 000 pounds and I made 15 000 and I was like is this the [ __ ] craziest thing to me and but I've got all this documented about me

signing my first client my first ever like big clan being in their office of being like hey this is the founder Sean that's crazy from his company athlete I'm in the office and Bubba and it's all [ __ ] documented all the way to like signing my first or uh hiring my first employee for my first ever employee joining the company when I was 17 years old and then three days later he leaves because he the work is so boring because he thought it was gonna be like a creative you know have like months to

work on a project and it was very like uh technical like hey we need this this is this for clients on this deadline and him being like [ __ ] this I'm leaving like and me just feeling like broken like [ __ ] I just hired my first employee left after three days so and I think that's that's what gives you the The credibility you know I think I've seen a couple videos where people try to cancel you were like because they see the Instagram they go on Instagram they're like no [ __ ] this

guy this is [ __ ] this guy you know and I've seen people trying to cancel even I've been I've seen them at the end of the video being like yo I could actually not find anything bad about this guy apart from the things he believes and what he says which you can be aligned with or not he he's actually made this self you know it's real like I just want to say a big shot I'm about to smoke a nice multi Crystal number two that one of my family's got me and another fan gave

me this as well which is a default lighter like these things are [ __ ] thousand dollars I feel like bro we're talking the other day yesterday we're the same age you look like a grown man like it you smoke so guys this guy has a suit on when we arrived but I was like yo you're in a different time frame like I don't know if this is a thing that's a grip like you like like my top five favorite artists I'd say is like Amy Winehouse Michael Jackson Otis Redding Drake because he's a [

__ ] ghost okay it's just wavy I probably Bred 5 oz but you're on you know so now bro I'm just a bit of a grandpa in general yeah hey what are you doing right now you're cutting this cigar cutting a cigar with the cheapest cutter and that's the one like we did him as a cutter here you either have security because you're well known and you get to a certain point where you're like very well known yeah like where you is that people are you can't walk around yeah like people are walking on stuff

like bro listen if I come on a restaurant I'm not gonna have Paparazzi yeah like it's not that crazy it's not that deep yeah but it's a matter of like for example when I go for a run it in like Cape Town for example I like to go running in Cape Town you know I it's funny people were like trolling me because my head of security always drives behind me in one of my wagons I know wait you know and it's like I think people think it's for sure bro it's not for sure it's just

that happens to be one of the cars that I owe her edits every three minutes someone will stop and ask for a photo or like ask for like wave yeah and it's like I will you know it's funny I'll always interrupt I run and I'll always stop my run and take a photo but it's like if then like I'm running like you can see I'm running and then you start trying to talk to me for five minutes like bro I'll stop I'll ask your name I'll show you love I'll take a photo like I don't

mind taking like two or three minutes out of my day but if it starts getting like five or ten minutes if I didn't have security there he gets a little rough you know whereas like with acts my head of security this is uh the signal this means okay close it off like I need to kind of get back to what I'm doing or for example you want to wear a jewelry air watches like for example in London or in Europe basically anywhere except for Dubai where I live it's unsafe to wear yeah watches like so

for me looking for this week if I could make the decision of not having security but also not being able to wear like a 300 000 watch [ __ ] the watch like that bro I don't give a [ __ ] I don't I don't care but because I have security I wear the watches so most of the time people have security because they want to wear nice stuff like I'm cool not wearing jewelry or watches and stuff you know it's consuming there's two types of Fame there's the fame where someone comes up and people

just want some interview and they just want a photo you know like for example I will bro I don't give a [ __ ] what I am doing I don't care how tired I am even my head of security and the rest of us if you sometimes I was like listen just tell me if you're like not feeling today I'm like bro these people watch me like you know how much of a [ __ ] honor it is like you know how like the fact that these people take the time out of there to listen

to what I'm saying and what I'm because I woke up on the wrong side but I'm not gonna take a [ __ ] photo like to me that's ridiculous like so I don't care what I'm doing I will take a photo and most importantly I'll ask a little bit about them first there was a big turning point between and this was amazing when we first started like making a small amount of money it was like being able to order food out was the bit like I think it was it's being one of the biggest turning

points in my life where it's like [ __ ] bro being able to order food out and say is money we made or do you remember remember the first time we went to a hotel and we paid with the company bro it was like a two-star hotel it was a wackiest hotel but we arrived we were visiting factories in Portugal but we were right to the hotel me and Alex look at each other and we're like [ __ ] it was like your first business trip we're like we paid for this you know like this

is boy and it felt so [ __ ] good and then it slowly starts to get into a play and we've not reached that point yet no but you realize that material things don't really apart from those initial moments and there's an initial barrier where you the view break your life is going to be incrementally much better it doesn't get way much better people abroad every night I swear to God every night when I get in bed in my villa and my maid who is an absolute Queen so much I get in bed and I

have fresh sheets every day that's like one of the things that like for me is is imported I have fresh sheets every night and like bro every single night I get it and I'm like [ __ ] man like I just see I feel successful like like that's like my I beta moment you know so like it but whereas for some people they may don't care so I think it's just find what's important to you and and don't feel ashamed spending money on it do you lose perception of money you know like I feel late

bro you're telling me like a million dollar or 350 000 it's like even I don't know how much this costs to be on this today but it wasn't cheap you know it doesn't sound cheap so it's like and I've gotten that talking to people who've made a lot of wealth when I'm talking to them and they're just losing perception either at 250 like bro people don't make that in a year you know people don't make that in a year people don't make that in their lifetime sometimes you know like have you felt that like [

__ ] I don't have a grasp of money anymore like for me I have to invest and right save slash it best 70 of everything will be all right because of where I am because I'm 23. and the other 30 I have to blow like even if I don't want it from here I need to spend the money because for me it's like what's the point in having all this money and not enjoying it and another thing is most of them I spend money on other people so what's the point in Norm like having your

friends enjoy the experience of flying private or you know like just are holding into that money you know yeah just I don't know I just listen I just personally don't respect frugal people like for me Frugal means that you're so scared that you will make more money or you've been so stupid that you lost money in the past and you didn't know how to manage it correctly and basically every three to four years that percentage increased it by 10 so for example by the time that I'm 26 27 I want to spend 40 of everything

I think and save 16. by the time I'm 30 it needs to be 50 50 by the time I'm 34 I just because life is getting too late I wanna die because I want to die with no money and I'm not giving my son anything my daughter's with zero zero [ __ ] that you know you said you didn't have a lot of Inspirations especially in the YouTube aspect you said there's not a lot of people you admire or you respect maybe respect yes but admire no more more like it um and I I do

have for me like and I I told Alex oh because we're moving offices now and I was like well in the new offices I want to have these three people on my wall and it was Steve Jobs um Phil Knight and Hugh Hefner Playboy founder and a night founder and Apple phone companies to me that are [ __ ] passionate you know their lifestyle their movement they've become the leaders of their world and Nike for example has been 30 years and they're still number one which is [ __ ] crazy do you have any role

models or anything or any people outside of YouTube wherever it is that you do look up to them I would say okay so listen in the YouTube game uh there's a guy called Patrick Bet David again value table yeah bro he is just exceptional he's a [ __ ] exceptional person I've never met him invited out there uh their little podcast shown thing they do another thing I respect to release and I guess I can kind of resonate with more is he had his playbooties in his 20s he had his Playboy days and then when

he was 30 or late 20s or something he found his tweet right and they have a beautiful family beautiful kids and he's someone I really really respect listen I'm sure there's many many other people in the YouTube game I will be honest I'm sure most people see that I don't hang out I don't collab I don't do streams with many people but Patrick Bet David to me is like I recommend everyone listen to you know and you know I think he's exceptional to except for people and that outside of that Drake and Drake 360 you're

like music wise or it's like attitude alley Works 360 because here's what number one to get to the top and stay at the top so guess what top is one thing so stay there is like that's truly like the thing of [ __ ] Legends and it's also his teeth like for me I want all my boys and my entire team I want us all in [ __ ] five years and listen we me and my boys we fly around in private jets and we all live good lives and you know I have people in

my company that make over a million dollars a year working for a company over a million dollars a year as an employee you know because that's also the thing I don't believe in this whole like oh if you're an employee like I don't think I don't talk down when people wear implants like it's great I don't think anyone everyone should be an entrepreneur I don't think it's for everyone and I think it's important it's great I think it's great to be an employee if you admire the person you're working for I think the bad thing

is like these huge corporations where maybe they don't give a [ __ ] what the brand wants to do or what the mission is and they're just there to get a paycheck I don't think that's cool but I think working for cool people that you admire you you're aligned with the vision's [ __ ] great my entire team we live well we have a great life but I want all I want everyone in a 10 years 15 years for hey maybe even five years I want all to be millionaires and I know everyone in Drake's

Kim who is there with him for 10 years plus well they're all sitting on multi-millions it doesn't matter if it's [ __ ] security they're all they all killed it right because like for me because of course the entire team should eat and listen it's different story if someone's there for water two years or maybe even three years ago someone's been with you for five years 10 years 15 years like I just really respect and admire the fact that he's still pretty much with everyone he's started with hey man sorry we had the guy you
