Thank you for inviting me. Happy to be here.
My pleasure. My pleasure. Yay. So, wow. I mean, ever since I was a little girl, I was always a seeker and I wanted to just accomplish so much and just, you know, see the world, literally travel the world and get involved in everything with culture and arts and you know, you're cultured as well. And you came over to America and I heard in one of your prior podcasts, you were saying how we're all, you know, all people who migrate to America, we're all kind of entrepreneurs. So tell us about your journey, how that started for you, maybe some of the mindsets that you naturally had as a youngster that were given to you, you know, by the, by the gift of the universe.
Thank you, Katie. And thank you for the introduction. You know, I migrated to the United States at the age of 10 years old now migrated with my mom and dad, then 12 of my siblings. So we're a family of 15. We migrated to south Texas and we, my parents were blue collar people on an educated we're poor we're poor, poor family have to say that we were so poor. We couldn't afford to drink. But the reality is that there was a lot of resourcefulness out of poverty. You know, when you decided that comment about me saying that many immigrants are entrepreneurial by default, because of reality, you know, we learned very early on the hustle, you know how to create a book, how to make a living because it's more than anything, it's a state of survival, right? Cause they means is a means to, to make an a living.
You know, I saw my father as an on educated new collar man, have multiple jobs and do many odd jobs just to be able to support his children, he, to children and his wife. So, so I very early on saw that my father worked very hard and that he never gave up. He never surrender. If one thing didn't work, he tried something else. So yes, I feel that in my bloodline, by default, I was an entrepreneur at a very young age, even without, even though how to spell the word of what the word meant. Okay. So as I went to life, I learned that some of that is to be successful. You need grit, any hard work, you need commitment, you need dedication, you need to be persistent and you concerning not surrender.
So those are the things that my father, even with this, for a lack of indication and not even knowing he was instilling in me and my siblings as we were growing up, you know, not coming to America in the pursuit of the American dream, my parents had no idea what I was doing. I was just trying to provide a better life for their children. And did they just assume that by bringing them over the border, providing, you know, providing a better quality of life, but since we're going to be better, but the reality is that when you are being raised by two on educated parents, there's a likelihood that you are going to be so water and indicated. Well, Liz, you are very, very, very driven. Okay. So, you know, out of, out of 13 children, I, one of the ones that was very persistent, I'm a middle child and they're a very young age.
I learned that if five day one, the hand me downs from my older siblings, I had to work so I could buy my own jeans, my own t-shirts my own sneakers, whatever it wasn't that I wanted. And I also had to work to be able to contribute to the household, to help my parents raise the family. That was just the reality. So yes, I think there many immigrants laid their country. Not because they're doing well, their fleet, their country, because they want to do better. Right. That was a case of my parents.
I just want to commend you and honor you because my is crying through listening to this right now with joy, because I also want to admire and acknowledge your courage and your bravery, because what you mentioned, and you're so authentic about it, like, oh, you know, in humble, like we came from humble beginnings, we're poor. So how I identify with that is I have the roots of my grandparents coming from the old country from Greece. So I have those instilled roots as well, but I was born in America. And so I had the TV and the culture of what was on TV and the American quote unquote dream. So I wasn't real and raw.
Like you were like, I am now, I wasn't real and raw with that. I was ashamed of that. I carried so much shame and so much guilt about not coming from a Paris Hilton family. Like people would meet me and they're like, oh, my guy, like daddy's girl or something, but I have the same roots as you and the work ethic. And we were taught those. And you know, I still have those tilts today, but I had to go through a lot of things as a young entrepreneur or being in Michigan because, you know, and I grew up in Detroit, 30 minutes outside. So I had that raw Detroit energy, which a lot of people say it's like the same as like Oakland energy. But like I had that energy. I also was like this public persona of covering up who I was, because I was scared to be vulnerable to show that, although I had that hustlers quote unquote mentality, I think it's so beautiful.
And you know, for the viewer and the listener to tune in to hear that, because, you know, even though I just showed how I identify with you, it shows the differences in our past, you know, did you experience any of that shame that I'm talking about or any of the guilt that I'm talking about or was it, was there not even a cushion to think about those things because of your circumstances?
Absolutely. I felt, I felt a lot of shame and a lot of guilt, but that was, that was later on in life as I became a teenager and I became, I became aware of my circumstances. Right. You become aware, you, you, you, you, you know, once I think there's a pivotal point at a certain age, primarily middle school, freshman year in high school, you began to see the differences, how people address that. People talk about people, walk, how people are smarter than you have. People are Denver. They, you, you begin to known the differences are very obvious. Okay. And then the shame and guilt as to where I came from, began to pour over to me. Okay. So I went from federal through Peter. I started as guys in certain things about my identity, because I was ashamed of where I came from.
Other drove an older car, and I didn't want him to drive me to school or I did. I wanted him to drop me off a couple of blocks before he got to school because he drove a beat up car. So there was a lot of shame and guilt where I came from. Okay. That is a process that a lot of us have to go through. I'm not ashamed to be, to retell my story because that's not who I am. That's not where I came from. I help people through a process of growth, a process of transformation in order for me to become, to be able to share the story, you know, today I share my story. Not because my story is unique or your story is unique. I share my story because my sport is a story of many. And the moment that I have an opportunity to Chevron story, I also have an opportunity to give others an opportunity to identify themselves in my story.
And I open up the doors for them to be able to share their story as well. But that's my job and my duty, my responsibility, otherwise I have not transformed. Otherwise. I'm still at living where I came from, right. Possibility today is, you know, I have been on a quest to grow, to evolve, to change today. I find that I am falling complete. I'm not any of that. I'm not a Mexican across the border. I'm just a human being here in this world to serve the best that I can.
I love you. Love you. Yes. Yes. That's exactly. You're speaking directly to my soul, heart to heart. And it's who I am. I love what you're saying. And I hope others identify with, you know, what you're saying, and follow along that path, because it's why we're here. It's truly the essence of why we're here to be the ripple effect, a mirror reflection for one another to learn and grow from one another. And I love how you can just put yourself out there. And so I see that you, are you an art collector? How are you in the art world? I also want to say the opening of your podcast and the end of your podcast. You have this really dope artists and on all your social media, you're always like in the hip hop culture community. And I know like you have a swag about you and it's like super cool.
Who is the artist that does the opening and closing for your intro and outro of your podcast?
I actually had a gentlemen, Johnny Austin out of Canada that actually did the affidavit. That song was be signed for my pocket. As the Android, the Audra. I learned something a very long time ago. I had become my father growing up, right, because that's what we did. That's what we model, right? And at some point I felt that disconnect between I have a 21 year old son today and I became a single father when my son was seven years old. And I raised him as a single father. And I really, really remember a point in my life when I realized that my father and I did not have any bit in common than one when my father went from, be my hero to be my Zibo when I realized, and I don't say that, but, you know, I love my father who he is, and I am extremely grateful for everything they thought me, but this is where I was at that point in my life.
I realized that he was not as smart as I thought he was and realized that he know that there's, that I needed to learn in order to move along in life. And I remember that pivotal moment when my son was seven years old, I realized that I didn't want my son to feel about me the way I felt about my father. Okay. That I had a responsibility to break that cycle of dysfunction, that I had a responsibility to make sure that I don't pass on ignorance, like knowledge, lack of information, access to information opportunities, whatever it was. It, not that my parents did not want to give them to me. They choose the know how they didn't have the tool to knowledge the know-how. They could only give me what they have, but they also gave me an opportunity to pick up from the left and to gain my own experiences.
And I wanted to teach that to my son. So when my son was seven years old and I was a single father, I wanted to make sure that I was relatable, that I didn't carry all the old tradition from my country, from my grandparents, because he finally, if we're not a student history and we don't see what has happened in our own personal history, we are bound to repeat the same mistakes. Well, I noticed that if my parents were broke and poor, I was worn in likely to repeat the history. I didn't do something different. And what that different meant was that I had to change everything about me in order to break that cycle. So I was committed to be connected to what was going on in the world, you know, to learn, to be educated, to learn emotional intelligence, to dive into personal development, to understand the culture, to understand my son's culture.
It was not my social responsibility to understand me or my culture or my generation, because my culture, my generation were becoming obsolete. Okay. His generation was the lead generation, the growing generation, the generation or the future. So why is he responsible to be adopted, to be no, I'm responsible to be, to adapt to his generation who is sculpture to his needs, through his music, to his technology, to what's going on in social media. So I go in very deeply to make sure that I became relatable, that I became that I was a father to have communication that I have, that he and I could talk about something and have something in common. So I made him part of my decision-making and we became a unit.
We can came across from a unit. There was no longer that tater ship. It was not over for the top-down. It was a family unit. We were the, we were the Peter and our corporation. And every position that happened in that household was going to affect the both of us. So therefore we both had to make the decisions together and that made the, you know, a lot of people say your son is very lucky to have, you know, I am very lucky to have my son and the opportunity to be able to relearn the world and see it from his sides of
It's an awe. And I hope every parent hairs your words because seriously, it's just, I love it. Thank you so much. It's so beautiful. And honestly, I just must say, I feel I've been very selfish because I don't have children yet. And I waited a long time when I was little. I always knew I was like having children later on in life because I wanted to have a career. So in a certain respect, all of my businesses have been my babies. I've been bursting, all these ideas. I've been birthing all these babies, and now I've had all these experiences. And now I'm at the time where I'm gonna, you know, it's going to be the time as a woman to be able to, you know, have that beautiful experience and everything happens, how it's supposed to. And I, like I said, I knew I was having children later on, but this just makes me want to get going because to have that, that neurological connection and to build the empathy and the kinship and the patterns of the bonds, and to have that responsibility, it's such an honor to be evolved.
But I very think a lot. I think for me, I saw it when I was young. A lot of people who were younger, who were having children, they were doing what you said, putting that old stuff onto their children. I didn't want to do that. So I wanted to wait till later. So I fully had my cup full. So I fully knew myself inside and out. So I wouldn't put that on to another child. Right. To break generational trauma, some say so, so, but yeah, it's really endearing and it makes me just want to like jump in there. So God willing if it's, when it's meant to be. Yeah. So this kind of shifts me into it can be, you know, all the things that we've been talking about, anything, an art book, an entrepreneurial book, a spiritual book, any like a book or two that you learn along the way that you would suggest to the, the listener to say, Hey, this really supported me along the way.
Maybe you read it more than once.
The one book that comes to that comes to mind right away, because he's someone that I have I was identify with. And I don't know why maybe because he has yet, he is so, so connected to the world is Robin Sharma. It is at 5:00 AM. Okay, great. And Robin and I have had an opportunity to, to have had him on the podcast if we built somewhat of a relationship and had a, you know, some personal moments where we, or wherever to talk about some of our personal challenges in life as human beings. Right. But I, I always wanted to learn. I've always studied other people that they're wanting to change who they are in order to become better. Right. And, and I have always been interested in what is it that successful people do in order to, to be that 1%, right.
In order to, to have that magical lack that we all aspire for. And his book, the 5:00 AM club was probably one of my biggest, my biggest teacher. And I've read that book a couple of times, you know, talks about the baby practices people do in order to develop, to perform at peak performance. That's one of my favorite book, tribe of Titans by Tim Ferris. He said, I also say collection of many stories of very successful people. So I like to read that kind of stuff. I, you know, as you and I talked before the podcast, I am deep and my feet in the personal development space. And I was into this, the mind valley in 2000 and dad, I think it was, you know, when I was going through through a lot of personal changes, you know, I was single father raising a son of my own.
I had just gone through a very contentious divorce. My mother had passed away. My father had passed away. And at first I was beginning to look at this as there were losses. And really what I did realize was that I was pruning, I was going through a part of my library work. I was shading the bids that God or the universe or nature were ready to take away from me to give me an opportunity to become my own, to be comfortable, to become complete. So I wanted a deep and profound search on a quest for who am I? What am I, what is my purpose? I, you know, at a very young age, I had an opportunity to be covered successful by the age of 24, I built a huge real estate business. And I was a multimillionaire at that time, you know, but I was only, I would build it up and I would, I would sabotage it.
I would sabotage the relationships. I would sabotage the businesses, the friendships, the partnerships, everything, because I didn't feel quality complete. And the reality is that the reason I didn't feel complete was because I was bringing to the boardroom to the marriage, to the relationship, through the partnerships, to the businesses that broken little boy across the border. When he was 10 years old, I was, I had held onto him and I wanted him to, to be part of everything. And I had not learned to let that go. And it was my niece abduction, personal development to visual Mick Yani and me Google and all the internet. How do I become a better person that I was introduced to that space of personal development?
Although I have met bent to what a Tony Robinson events many, many years ago, it didn't click at the time was not relatable because I was not ready. You know, the student was not ready. Okay. I was ready in 2010 or 2009 or whatever it was. And the messages started pouring in. You know, I, I learned about Micheal Beckwith. I learned about listen, Nichols. I learned about Jim quick. I learned about Vishen Lee county. I learn about a lot of the spiritual leaders, personal development, worlds, people like John Astra, people like, like John Demartini and many of those incredible thought leaders that have paved the way for a lot of people could be transformed their lives. And I knew that I needed to anchor my, my vision into them to follow what they were doing in order for me to change and transform.
And here I am today, you know, today, I, I am happy that I made that choice because that opportunity allowed me to become a better father, a better member of my community. I met with a purpose of the mission, a better ends of the new year, a better businessman, a better leader, a better brother, a better friend, a better member of my community. Everything that I always wanted to be. I am now I am today. I don't feel a part from, I feel part of, I'm not the guy that had the imposter syndrome, you know, that I have to drink, you know, take many shots of alcohol in order for me to feel like I was empowered and I fit in now today, I can do it just by showing up and being present and being available and be transparent and Legion
Love it. Love it. Yeah. I totally identify with what you're saying on different levels and circumstances, but I, as an artist, I would build myself up and then rip myself down and build myself up and re root myself down. And one of my shamans ShawMan Harry Paul, like he would tell me, he's like, you, you are so powerful. You could just build it up or you could just like burn the place down, but I would do it. And I, I didn't know I was doing it. And then I would be on a track. And then I would, I would be like at the 99%. And then I would like abandoned it drop and just run in the opposite direction. And I did this for so many years. I was just going so wild and elaborate. I was like making myself confused just to like, I was playing my own psychological mind games with myself.
And then I started noticing the patterns. So, so unaware I was doing it. But then I started being aware of the patterns that I was doing it. And then being able to, you know, catch it, catch it more and more, catch it and nip it in the butt to not self-sabotage to build something up, to stay committed, to be consistent, to go all the way through. And instead of getting to that point and then abandoning it and, and being just self-destructive and letting it go. I know he mean vision. He has the, the six phase meditation do you do?
Absolutely. Absolutely. You know, I do it. I do it almost every other day because I like to alternate the meditation's six spaces of visualization, meditation, that you are able to meditate. And at the same time, visualize your, your, your goals, everything from gratitude to make an amends to people. And you might have had controversy with, to visualize your, your three-year plan, your daily plan every year, every day, every day, I do it. I do a frequently, as a matter of fact, that I am a firm believer, Kay, that I have what you call the five pillars, physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, and financial. And I believe that if you tend to those every single day, if you maintain it, okay, you transition from operating from a state of survival is so state of flow.
You no longer time travel. You don't think about the past or the future. You become present in the out. And when you are precedent into now, you're able to see what clarity, who you are, what you are and what you want to become. Okay? Then you can only do that. I tended to those five pillars on a daily basis, not every other day, not whatever you feel like it, that whatever is convenient for you, but every single day, it is some muscle that you work on every single day. It's like going to the bank and making a deposit. So for those rainy days, when you don't feel like doing it, you have enough money in the bank in order for you to able to coast and be able to seek this platform a different perspective. So what happens today is I don't have to worry about my demons, my insecurities, my, my, my fears.
I'm able, because I am constantly working on myself. I'm able to predict whether they get the thought is coming. I'm able to feel when I'm sabotaging myself, I'm able to see why maybe I'm working on a project, Katie, for example, and I want to back away from it. I'm 99%. And now I said, no, I'm going to drop it. No, I'm three feet from goal. Why do I want to drop it? Why do I want, I don't want to drop it. I want to drop it. Not because I'm afraid to be more successful than where I'm at. I'm afraid to change. I'm afraid of the uncertainty. I'm afraid of what's coming. So I, as long as I operate from a state of Single consciousness, that subconscious consciousness, Single consciousness, we're not complete perfect oppressive.
I can make decisions that prevent me from sabotaging myself. And it's taken a lot of work. It's making a lot of years, but it's all worth it.
Yeah. I took a class at a Gabi. Have you been to a Gabi Micheal Beckwith?
I have not been to a copy. I, I met Michael at, at mine valley, as you know, in fact, and we actually talks to having for the podcast, but I have not been to a copy.
They have a, they have a, he has a university program and his book, spiritual liberation. I did, I did that. I wanted to do the one on communication, but I ended up doing the spiritual liberation first, you know, for the listener and the viewer definitely check out mine valley.com and definitely check out Micheal Beckwith. He has the copy center if you're in Los Angeles. So it's a beautiful community there. Yeah, really cool. You were mentioning all the five pillars and having everything like the coin tokens in the bank to be able to coast. So on the days you're doing, you're doing, but you need to just have like, say you're taking a holiday for two weeks. Obviously, you know, working on social media or from your mobile is so remote influenced these days, which is awesome.
But do you sector like, okay, I'm gonna, maybe even on my days off, I'm going to stay in bed and just like binge-watch on marathons or something like that. Just to soak up the personal Saul entertainment to be inspired as research and education, does that all kind of go into the five pillars or how do you rest and repair to be able to thrive?
I'm a human being at Katie and I want to enjoy life. I don't want to be robotic. Right. I don't deprive myself. I truly believe that somebody that say spins are non-negotiable, that's baloney that, you know, we have to be self care. Okay. It's not selfish. So for me to want to bend, wash Netflix, once every once in a while, there's something wrong with that. Okay. However, what I may not do with that day, I may not get up at five or six or seven o'clock in the morning I slip in and I may not do my rituals consistently throughout, you know, like my regular routine. But in between, throughout my day, I may do, you know, at some point I gotta do my Journaling. At some point, I get to do my reading.
At some point, I gave you my meditation. At some point, I'm going to do my Journaling. At some point, I go to write my goals. Now I still do Katie, why do I do them? Because they, I have learned that my rituals, okay, they're sacred. You know, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're everything to me. They give me the quality of life that I was looking for all my life. It did not know how to achieve, or they give me that Russia opened me, that I was looking for on another woman on a new car on off, or whatever. Okay. If I'm able to get a rush of dopamine, AA rush or high, and that's what, I'm a go-to to give up something that I've been chasing all my lives.
Right. I get them naturally. They're good for me. I may not be as rigid to say, okay, today I got to get up at five because I want to know, I mean, costs my, my series of knickers that I'm doing. And I made, made a day for 20 minutes, and then I get back to it and I'm going to watch another two, the serious. And then I journal and I may, you know, easy up on myself, but I do not, not doing I don't zero myself. I don't do that. Okay. The only thing that I may not do, and, and that for me is a little difficult. It's when I travel and I traveled a lot. I commute frequently between my phone here in Houston. I used to have a place in LA, my place in LA and my place in Mexico city. So a lot of times when I traveled, I may not do my workout.
Okay. But the minute that I get back into kind of a regular routine, I do my workouts on a regular basis.
You can journal while you're traveling and you're working out your mind.
Exactly, exactly. And you know, like, like for example, if I'm on a plane and they're going to be in a plane for four, four hours, you know, to my destination, I get a journal. I'm going to read, I'm going to listen to podcasts. I'm going to do my gratitude. This I'm going to be my prayers. I get, do everything. You
Can answer those 30 emails while
All of that. I am very conscious of my time. I am very conscious of my intake. I am very conscious of creating boundaries around things that are not good. Okay. I can not go back to everything. I ran a wasteland. I don't, I don't, you know, I'm not curious at what happened to my childhood neighborhood when I was 40, you know, 30 years ago, 35 years ago. I don't care. I don't know.
We just had, we have to let that go. Like I was saying, Sean and Harry Paul, he's like, we live, we live in this world of vertical. It's the source energy up and down when we're doing a horizontal Jagat oh, this car accident from 10 years ago. Oh my childhood. You're bringing the stale energy, like the ocean chopping into your new abundance of flow that straight up and down and we're human. So we all do it, but being conscious to not do it and being conscious of our environment of who we're around, if they're doing it and stop, another person he'll call people out like Sean and dirt, like, okay, honey, you're going to tell me something for two minutes, three minutes. But if you're going to be at this whole lunch for 40 minutes talking about blah, like I gotta go.
Like, like, like you said, you're conscious of your time. Like, it's, it's not okay to just be blind on other people. That's why you have the Journaling and like psychotherapy and, and, and listening to podcasts to be able to journal and sort it out and have a trusted space of who you can and trusted sources of key people. We can actually talk to, to get it out. Cause it's important. Attention goes energy flows. So get that energy out. So it's not stagnant inside of our body, but having a release through communication, swimming, working out Journaling. Now when you journal, is it just free flow journaling? You just,
It is free for whatever comes to mind. You know, there's not, there's not a format. You know, a lot of times I start with, well, you know, I don't know what I'm going to journal today and that the inspiration flows. So the reality is that what I found for me, you know, I've been in recovery for 21 years, Gavin, silver, over 21 years. You know, I battled with alcohol for a long time. And when I surrender, you know, and, and people confuse surrender by giving up, no surrender is given in giving into yourself at sea. I have an opportunity to be better. Who am I allowed myself to discover myself? But that's what I did when I gave up addiction. My addiction to alcohol. The point is that I, yeah, we float Journaling and very early on in my Journaling, it was almost like a therapy class for me.
I was able to address a lot of the things that I had in my mind, swirling around a lot of those thoughts that were chasing me, haunting me, bothering me. You know, I know it at 99% of the people they're talking to themselves, they don't have a peer of mine to enjoy what's the other available, their time traveling highly insane is that, and I know it's insane because I did it for a very long time. I was trying to solve all my problems in my head. That problems that had not even happened, that didn't even exist. I was creating them. Okay. When I let go of all of that, I had the energy. I had the vision. I had the precedence and I have the opportunity to attempt to myself.
When I tend to myself, I'm not operating from it from a position of defense. I'm operating from a position of offense. I know what's coming at me. I know how to deal with it. I don't have to be whispering to myself, a million different thoughts. How neat to I, early on I learned, I started journaling. I answer a lot of it. A lot of the questions I wrote come this calmness of immense letters to people, offense that I had done, or they had done to be, but I needed to let go. I needed, I wanted that energy to flow. I want my body to be a vessel of positive energy. Not as the nation, not a, not a toxic pond. I want to be positive. I want to be able to radiate.
When people see me, I want people to be happy to be around me. And I know for a long time I was toxic. I was toxic. Okay. Nobody wanted to be around me. How do you want to be around me? Okay. Running away from
I've done that too. It's called I'm in my acting class. Susan Batson. She's Nicole. Kevin's personal acting coach for over 20 years. Oprah, Juliet, Kenosha, Madonna, Susan Batson. She's great. She has a book called truth. It's so good. It's just truth. T R U T H. But she was saying intimacy into me. See, I was so scared to look inside myself. I, how could I be with someone else and trust another person when I didn't even know if I could fully trust myself? So that's when the work starts inside. So that's beautiful. Thank you. Thank you so much for sharing all of that. I want to pivot and deep dive into what's next for you. I know you're doing something in your Latin community. Can you share a bit about your exciting new projects you have coming up?
Yeah, absolutely. October 13, 14 and 15. I have partner up with Tim Storey and Tim Storey is a celebrity and he's all mine. He just released his book. The, the miracle mentality is Oprah S personal life coach he's spent. He's coached people like Robert diamond, Joey Jr. Charlie Chan, and many, many other incredible personalities, Kenny and Wes and, and the list goes on and on Tim and I had partnered up together to put together a live remote and live in person event for Las Vegas, the warrior studio, which is a new facility because a 360 degree floor to ceiling led panel screen that can simultaneously translate into multiple languages.
And you can have a person to person communication on a library mode where you're both are interacting and we're doing an event called excellent. That is a first leadership and personal development global summit for the Latin community. As I mentioned to you before we got started, I get the last 12 years. I have dove in deeply into the personal development space. I have been to many, many events that I have yet to see somebody that looks like me and speaks like me talks like me, or comes from my culture.
Me there y'all you are bad. You are. You're like a boss. You have like the swag you're looking. You're so cool. I'm like, oh yeah, who is this person? I love it. And I love what you're talking about. And actually I'm with the union, the screen actors Guild, and there's a huge Latin community. And I would love to, as an artist, as an advocate, I'm a supporter of you and your mission of what you're doing. I would love to bridge a connection and even be, you know, the, the key, yeah, the connection to the liaison, get this packet over to sag AFTRA. And so we can share this as a virtual so we can promote it. So then the Latin community of artists who are the movies and TV who are musicians, they can be in part of what you have created.
Absolutely. As a matter of fact, we're doing something very similar to what, what grant Cardone has helped with this 10 X program. When grant card don't put together a 10 X conference, he asked people like Mayweather, John Travolta, and many of the, of the great artists, right? We're bringing together Canelo, which is the worlds highest pay boxer, Latin boxer, Jay Baldwin, who is a Colombian, a rapper who is very, very evil. And Gloria who has Benny, Benny, Benny, Benny Latin has an incredible crossover into Hollywood. We're bringing together George Lopez, fluffy, who was a comedian, Oscar de LA Hoya, former Botcher king Ryan cheek.
He said many, many other celebrities, you know, order to, to create a movement, literally a movement to introduce a personal development and emotional intelligence opportunities into the land community. You know, what, what you and I have learned in mind, bounties not available in our communities. There's no Latin, a black person to go home and speakers. Okay. And if they are, they're not mainstream, we don't know bottle. Okay. I want to be able to capture the little Peter at six year soul when he's gone through those traumas. Instead of him seeing somebody that he doesn't understand or relate to, if he sees somebody with the same color skin, with the same accent, with deep background, that has been over to overcome the challenges that he was faced with and when from being a victim to a victim.
Okay. And now a champion of causes that king is going to be able to trend, change and transform his life to be able to bring an opportunity for future generation. Love that, introducing that into that space.
Yeah. We should also check out the Latin community in Michigan, where I grew up because I'm friends with a lot of judges and people in Michigan and people who want to do events. So maybe I could be a local speaker and an advocate for the community in Michigan for you like a liaison. I love that. I love it. I love it. Cause I'm, I come from Greek culture. So it's like this it's the same thing as culture and short story. I love even Longoria. She has EVAs heroes.org and I play poker and she's really good friends with Phil Hellmuth. He's amazing. And so she flew me into Texas. I don't know if she's still living there, but she flew me in to be a part of her Eva as heroes event for her, her
Chair live in San Antonio.
Yes. Yes. Well, she was married to Tony Parker and they, all we spent
Were my neighbors when I lived in San Antonio. Yeah.
I went there because, because of them. So because of her. Yeah. That's, that's so cool. So I know we're wrapping up here. I, I want to say, I know it's a, it's a very quick thing, but for maybe more on the financial side, you know, for, for people who maybe, you know, have the business going and everything was destructive because of, you know, whatever life takes turns, or maybe it's, they always say in, you know, this, once you make your first million and you lose it, you can just make it again so easy cause you know how to do it. So that applies to 10,000 or a hundred thousand or whatever. So, so w what about for the person, you know, who is, you know, in a place where they want to scale and they don't know how to scale and, and how to bridge connections and cultivate quality to maybe find something that's sustainable for them to, to build as an entrepreneur.
Cause you says there's five pillars, but where, where are some places they can start in actionable steps they can do for financial gain and today's world posts, or, you know, you know, I don't wanna say post pandemic because we're still in it.
There's a couple of dates that I want to tend to. And one of them is that we don't have business problems. We have personal problems that we take into the business. Okay. Then when you, when your house is in order, you know what, when I double in deep into the personal development space, when I started putting my personal flashlight in older, I became a better businessman. I was able to have an opportunity to see opportunities that I was not able to see before, because I was operating from a state of survival instead of from a state of clarity. Okay. So the first thing that I would recommend it, and as much everybody wants that we live in a immediate gratification society. Right. And everybody wants a quick fix, but there's no quick fix, but there's a lot of fixes.
Okay. So if you're able to take care of yourself, first of all, okay, put your house in order tend to those five pillars, physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and financial by developing some very simple rituals, exercise, prayer, affirmations, meditation, journaling, gratitude, reading, learning, learning, learning, and learning. Okay. And if you're also able to what got you here in any business, what got you into a business from $10,000 or your first sale to whatever number you are selling today, a hundred thousand dollars a piss off and off, whatever it is, it's not going to get you to your, to a million dollars. You have to look at what you need to do differently. That means that not need to start looking at different people to help you scale your fiscal game.
You don't only look at yourself and you look at the people that surround gay. If you are trying to scale a business from a hundred thousand dollars to a million dollar business, you need to start associating yourself with people that are running million dollar businesses, you cannot be associated with people that are running a hundred thousand dollar businesses. Okay? So you need, you know, what social media has done is given us an opportunity to have access to people that we have never had an opportunity to have access to. Okay. There used to be two, three degrees of separation. Did they firmly believe that we walk shoulder to shoulder to one another? There is no three degrees of separation. Okay. You can have access to any bedroom influencer. If you can go to Clubhouse.
And literally I've been in Clubhouse. Okay. And if you don't know what Clubhouse is, is it's an app. It's a social media app that people have different channels. And you can go in there and learn about different topics, anything about how to enhance your, your image and social media, to how to scale your business, to whatever. But you are able to learn from experts. You know? So if you can go to, you can go to Clubhouse and, and be in chat rooms with people that are running billion dollar companies that are going to be able to give you advice. And I going to be able that are going to be able to help you scale your business. You know, we are the total sum of five people that we spend the most time with who is your five, who is your five, who is that five group of people?
You know, if somebody, if in your five people, if you want to scale your business, if you're five people, those people are not doing this, that you, if you're the smartest guy out of those five, you're the role five.
Yeah. I saw that you had the JT Fox on your podcast too.
I had JT on the phone. All my podcasts and JT is very controversial, but I love the guy. I love the guy and I had Glen Lundy and I had had a lot of the people from Clubhouse on my podcast. Why? Because at the time that's what was trending mean between December of 2020. And after about April may, I mean, Clubhouse. I said, if you were in there, you, you, your there was a lot to be
There. I was in there. I went to poetry day. I had a 12 hour event, a world poetry day when I released my poetry book
And I had an opportunity to host stages. I brought in Marc Randolph, the co-founder of Netflix. I brought in Dr. John Demartini. I posted a room with John Astra. I hosted a room with Steven Kotler, the expert on flow. So the reality is that you don't have to have your five people. Your inner circle can be a cyber inner circle. Okay? If you don't have access to calls, study them, go listen to their podcasts, go buy their books, go follow them on social media. Stop following stupid rapper, stupid people that don't bring no value to you or to your life curate your you're laughing every aspect from who you following. So from the music you listened from, the people you chose to be around from everything that you take, whatever you take in it, you are taking your energy.
Do you want good energy or bad energy? Is there energy, frequency, slow? I don't want it. If their energy frequency is high and better than mine, I want to stay up on it. I want to swim in it. Just that simple
Sunday than it on the GNC to encapsule what you're saying, the beginning, you were saying like clean up your house. So you weren't for the people who are like, I don't have a house. Well, not your physical house or your spiritual house, your temple, like clean that up. And then also at the end of what you were saying through what you were saying is like check the ego of the mind because the mind is a tool and it's an illusion. So we're not Google. We're not apple. We're not these big brands, but you don't, you can curate, like you said, and cultivate with the five and to curate from within and have a boutique-y quality entrepreneurial standpoint and be connecting with people that way with, and having little quality hubs, instead of thinking you need this like massive thing did he did back in the day.
Those are like, we're not in the nineties anymore. You know what I mean?
It's not slow and easy and consistency. Yeah. I love, love, love you energy. I love to connect with you some more.
Yeah. 11, 11, 11, 11. What? Yeah, we'll definitely keep, keep it going. I would love to raise the vibration. Do you do Kundalini yoga? Oh, you'll love it. Ray Kundalini is all about raising the energy. Kundalini is my favorite. I'll send you some stuff on it, but I don't know this is, this is kind of a big question, but maybe you can get to the, a point of it. Cause I know you have a lot of female bosses on your podcast and in the world of everything we were speaking about, and a lot of females are on my show. And me personally, I've gone through this as well. It's being an entertainment, traveling the world for over two decades and how to connect with certain individuals that are, you know, of the opposite sex or even, you know, females have these issues.
Gay boys have these issues. Men have these issues with females who are more powerful, whereas there's that line of when they're abusing power and knowing ethics, morals, and values and boundaries to say, this person just wants to like sexually get with me for some reward or some people are manipulating and using other people and not being authentic. And you've seen that along the way. I know you've been going at it for over 25 years. So yeah, you definitely have a decade on me. So how can you kind of cut through that? Being a father and experiencing that for almost three decades, our advice to women and maybe, you know, gay boys out there, or it happening to men as well of how to delegate some tips and tools, how to navigate around those things.
So people aren't selling their, their soul for, they're not selling their dream for, for a promise. And then they're feeling undervalued and then they're feeling like they're not getting what they thought they were going to get. When a lot of times it was all in their head, but they were only manipulating themselves. Really.
That's an incredible question. And it is, it's a lengthy lengthy answer to that. But the short answer, the short answer to that is, you know, I think that, that we, we, every human being by race with two energies, okay. For a male and female energy. Okay. And, and, and I think we need to learn, we need to learn how to be sensitive to both energies. It's taken me a lot of work in order for me to be able to established incredible relationships with, okay. I used to have a hard time having a relationship with Madeline because I used to believe that, you know, sex with love and love with sex. That was it. That was it. It was very, I, I had a dysfunctional relationship with my father. It was only adult. I had my house in order until I became authentic with myself.
Every problem stems from us period. And the story when we are fully balanced, we know how to charge the waters of whatever bullshit we're swimming in the story. If you are balanced with yourself and you don't have to walk away for a situation that does not serve you, if you're a what you're. So you're able to create bonds with people that are respecting you are not giving you the value you deserve. If you have bonds with yourself, if you know who you are, you're able to give the best version to yourself and receive the best version to yourself. And the reality is this, Katie, we attract who we are and what we are. Okay. Not what we pretend to be. Okay. So the minute that you become benthic, the quality of your relationships are going to be better.
The minute that you love yourself, people are going to learn to love you. The minute that you respect yourself, people are going to respect you. The metadata that you bring value to the world, the world will bring value to you.
