The Money Mindset Part Two w/ The Wall Street Trapper

00:00:00
Speaker 1: Coming up. Keep It Positive, Sweetie. We live in a culture where everyone is trying to teach, have all these courses and things like that. How did you cultivate your course to make sure that people understood it's not a skin because there's our people out here really scamming people. How did you like really build that and say I'm gonna keep this integral and make sure that I'm teaching people and that they get what they need out of it.

00:00:26
Speaker 2: I'd use the same mentality that we had in the streets. It was give it away for free.

00:00:32
Speaker 3: Wow, Wow, give it away for free, and if it's good for free, don't pay for it.

00:01:02
Speaker 2: Hi.

00:01:03
Speaker 1: I'm Chris Storer Nate Hazy and this is Keep It Positive, Sweetie, a safe face to heal, laugh, grow, and love. And last week's show, I talked about creating and maintaining a money making mindset with Camille Rolls founder and CEO, Janelle Stevens and serial entrepreneur The Wall Street Trapper. My conversation with the Wall Street Trapper was so layered it took us a little extra chime to get through it all. So this show is a continuation of that conversation. You are world renowned for your financial tests. My brother actually called me. It was a few years ago. I didn't even know who you were.

00:01:39
Speaker 2: He called me and he.

00:01:40
Speaker 1: Said, hasis like I really probably during COVID. He's like, I want to learn about stocks and bonds and about finance. And he was like, there's this guy named Wall Street Trapper and I paid for him. Did not know you, but I paid for him to take classes so that he could learn more. And then later on we have mutual friends and I was like.

00:02:00
Speaker 2: That's the guy.

00:02:02
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my gosh, so yeah, you where did that even come from? Like to learn about finances and then to say, hey, I want to spread this and teach people.

00:02:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm in prison. I'm six, I had just made seventeen wow, and I'm staring down a tenure bed and I wound up having this fight with this guy. My two guys. So it's me and two guys, and then the CEO came and you know, we go to the whole We go to Soulit Turrekan Finement. They put me to sell with this white dude, and I'm so frustrated because I thought it was my homies. But I realized quick that in prison, Like that don't work like that. Yeah, it didn't work like that. And the guy looked at me with like pure frustration, the white guy, and he was like, man, y'all playing the wrong game. Now. Mind you in prison? So like you in here with me, so you must be playing the same game you're talking about. So it's like, no. He was like, how much time you got to just got my ten years? He was like, what you're doing ten years from like a tender on ribbery? He was like, how much money you got from it? And I was like, it wasn't about the money. He was doing eighteen months for embezzlement two point eight million dollars. He paid eight hundred thousand restitution. He was able to keep two million dollars. And he said, if I go home, I can do this again and it will only give me five years. Next time. You'll still be doing the ten years. And I said so he was like, he was like, nah, it's not about that. He was like the game of life, and it's something about when you hear intelligence, it'll put you at a stand in parallel lives to me. And the only thing about prison is anybody can tell you anything until they show you the paperwork. So he showed it to me in black and white, and I had never saw seven figures on a piece of paper.

00:04:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, I said, damn.

00:04:14
Speaker 2: So he said, listen, He said, wealthy people stop treating time for money. They learn how to make their money work for him, and they learn how to give value to people because people will always be the asset. So like that didn't make sense to me because I never had heard it before, like from streeting and I was talking about value the people they buy some dope or what dog right? What we're doing, what you're doing, bro, Like we're talking about And then he said the three things that wealthy people do is they invest in stocks because it's the easiest way, the bill welk. They create a business because a business allows you to put a product in the marketplace. And they buy real estate because real estate allows you to be taxes. He said, you learn those three things, you'll make more money than you ever made in your life, and you'll be free. And I was like okay, and he sure. He was showing me pictures and I remember this nineteen ninety now, so there's no Instagram. These are polaroid pictures of him in places like Iceland, and I remember this blew my mind. I'm a little dude, skinny dude from the hood, and he him and his family were in this pond with steam coming from it and mountains behind him, and I was like, bro, like that's real, right, Like how could like that didn't match to me? How could they have mountains and y'all sitting in this water and you're not freezing a day right here? Like no, this is a place called a blue lagoon. And he said Iceland. Yeah, like Iceland, that's a real place right straight out the hood to do all this too much, right, And so he was like this, this is where money gets you. And so the rest of my time I learned about the stock market. I was reading. I remember my first book was Robert Kie Withstock Rich Dad, Poor Dad, and it was a financial literacy. It was like a mindset about money and that kind of just changed my mind on it. There's people that's really moving because in my mind, if you was rich in America, you were selling dough by doing something crooked and a whole other game. And so when I started looking at the stock market, I started realizing that, Yo, these people are making tons of money off us being consumers. So we really junkies. Yeah wow, And that's how the market started making sense to me. I started putting it in the street. And so once I realized that, oh, the real gangses ain't us on the street. The real gags is the dude is a ballrooms, the dudes that's building these businesses, the dudes that's building businesses to make laws that benefit their businesses, I said, ah, check me. I ain't never been a dumb nigga. I ain't never been dumb, right, So I was like, I bet, And so I just spent the rest of my time just reading everything I could about it. I don't got a whole bunch of fights in prison about trying to watch the stock market while they're trying to watch the young and the wrestlers. I'm like, bro, you're not tired of watching Victor Newman rug? Come on yet, nog Like what we're doing here? Been re? So I was like, bro, we've been watching Jabu and Abic Cosmetics forever. Bro, Like I'm tired. And so I was just getting fights, but it was worth it. And so when I came home, I still ain't get it right.

00:07:51
Speaker 1: Wow, what happened when you got home.

00:07:52
Speaker 2: I got back in the streets because it's a thing that happening idea. But to come on home into the real world and execute that, yeah, it's just a whole new ball game.

00:08:05
Speaker 1: Yeah.

00:08:05
Speaker 2: And so when people when people be like, why this dude going back to the streets, he ain't tired of going to jail. It ain't that a person that ain't tired of going to jail, you know. That's all they know, That's all they got the tools for. Yeah, that's the thing that make them feel like somebody right, Yeah, it's what makes them feel like they have control of their destiny even though it ain't right right.

00:08:26
Speaker 1: Yeah.

00:08:27
Speaker 2: And so I'm back in the streets and I wound up getting the police wound up kicking in my door. Uh. They got ten pounds a week, a faulty with extended clipping, a beam, a two twenty three, one hundred X pills, and a pin of lean And I was like, yup, yup, this is it. I'm going out like this. Here's the crazy part. When they kicked my door in, I wasn't in the house. They brung me to the house. The stock market was on and I never forget this man telling me. You got to be a stupid nigga to be watching them stock market and still selling dope. Yeah, something ain't clicking right for you. You belong in jail, Wow, I said, damn. And in my mind I said, God, he's not right.

00:09:13
Speaker 1: I don't belong there.

00:09:13
Speaker 2: I don't belong now I did. I was on the home two years. God was with me. They kicked the door in no search one. It took me about fifty grand to fight those charges. Yeah, I got fined out guilty on the It was called fruit of a poisonous tree, which means if you find something illegally, everything is no good. And I said, ah, God, that's it. Yeah, I'm gonna go legit.

00:09:41
Speaker 1: So what did that look like? Because I'm interested, like, did you use like the dope money to like?

00:09:45
Speaker 2: Yeah? So I and I still ain't getting though, really nah, because I didn't have enough money. Okay, So me and my partner started robbing, started robbing dough boys because you know, there's certain rules I learned in the game, and it was like nine or five people are off limits. They ain't signed up for that.

00:10:08
Speaker 1: Wow.

00:10:10
Speaker 2: If you in the street, what you're saying you signed up from a shop on cavity either tuna fish, a guppy, don't matter, a lion, a killer a gazelle, and the killer gazelle puppy. It's part of the game, and I was willing to face whatever came with that. I've been shot, I've been stabbed, I almost got put in the trunk before, I almost got kidnapped. I don't been in it all. It's nothing you can't tell me about the streets that I haven't done a movie. That's why I got you making connections here.

00:10:42
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm already seeing them.

00:10:43
Speaker 2: Like and so me and my partner started, We started robbing dough boys, started jacking them, we started traveling doing it because I was a thinker, so I knew how to put it together. Wow, I knew how to put it together. And then we hit this one lick and we missed a couple of steps and the dude had a twelve games to the back of my head and I was like, damn, I'm about to go out like this like this, and I remember just saying, God forgive me if I gotta go like this, I gotta go like this.

00:11:18
Speaker 1: Like they seeing death like that.

00:11:20
Speaker 2: And that wasn't the first time like what.

00:11:22
Speaker 1: In those moments where well, I mean, I guess it wasn't that traumatizing because you continue to do things that would put you back in that position. But I think about, like, if somebody had a gun to my head, I don't know if I would do it again.

00:11:34
Speaker 2: Like I don't think I with the game.

00:11:37
Speaker 1: Okay.

00:11:38
Speaker 2: It's kind of like a person working a job and they know they're gonna get fired. Yeah at some point like all right, let me just get another job. The only time you think about getting out the streets is when you were in a situation where it's life or that. But after you get past that situation, you're like, bro, that's all I know. And my partner came and my partner, God bless and soul. He passed away maybe a couple of years later from sickle Cell. I remember him telling the dude, and it was it was. It only took about seven or eight seconds. He said, listen, if you shoot my home, it's gonna be three dead people right here. You gonna die, you'r homie gonna die, My homie gonna be dead. And i'm'a still get all the bread. Yeah, So the best thing for you to do is let my homie go and we'll let the money go. We'll call it even. Yeah. And I just remember the dude putting a gun down and I remember leaving and the money we did. I gave it to my dog. I say, brouh, I'm done. Yeah. I said, man, I can't do this no more, dog. And my dog was like, man, you tripping man? May you know this part of the game. It's like, you don't save my life. I done save your life? Like yeah, dog, but I done, did? I done, did ten? I dodn't been in multiple shootouts. I done god shot, I done gone, found not guilty and all this, bro like bruh, I can't keep beating.

00:12:53
Speaker 1: The game, yeah, cause eventually it's gonna.

00:12:55
Speaker 2: Be I can't keep the game. And I said, Brian ain't ready to die. Dog. I say, boy, you could have him. Yeah, And that was the last time, Like wow, I was like I'm good. And so I started working as an iron worker. I started taking that serious. I learned how the weld, I learned how that, Like I built the Falcon Stadium out here, really yeah, wow, built the Falcon Stadium, built a stay in Minnesota, built some of Texas and them I was building a lot of plants and power plants in the walk like outside of New Orleans. And I was still making hustle money. I was making like twenty five hundred to three thousand dollars a week. And so I said, alright, this remind me of dope money. I said, i'm'a take the stock market serious. Two thousand fourteen, Okay, okay. So I really was telling my homies about it heavy, and I remember telling them like, bruh, Like you know, we wind this little platon. Bruh, that's on the stock market. That lvmh mm. Like oh, we buy these iPhones, it's on the stock market. We buying Nike, we buying Dickies and Timulings. Yeah, that's on the stock market. We buying alcohol, it's on the stock market. And I remember one day my homies we went to the club and it was they brought this hennessy and I had defendy on and I said, y'all know the same company owned this, and they was like all right, and so you gotta make it make sense.

00:14:13
Speaker 1: Way you're looking at everything.

00:14:15
Speaker 2: It's different everything, And I'm telling them, y'all making me money. You bought another bottle appreciated, and so I remember telling my homie one day, I said, bro, we're gonna get killed. We don't even got life in Jurin. That's at least have our money in the stock market, so that when we died, we at least give our kids something. And the one thing that really made it made sense to me was when the police kicked my door in. They took my truck, they took my money that was in my bank account, they took the money that was on my dresser and all that, but they didn't touch my money that was in the stock market. I said, oh, I ain't never been a sh and so that from there we was just I really started taking a serious two thousand nineteen, I quit the job. They wanted me to cut my beard and I was like, man, I ain't cut my beard.

00:15:12
Speaker 1: Man ya the world.

00:15:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, cause I was working on a plant, okay, and they wanted us to go in this segment of the plant where you had to wear his mask. And I was like, man, get somebody else to do that. I'm not doing that, and they was like, nah, we need you to go cause you can well overhead. I was like, man, I'm not doing it. Yeah, And so I said, man, look, just pack my stuff. I'm good. And I was like, I'm all in on the market. Wow. And then a friend of mine, she had me the first million dollars with this hair care product, and so she wanted to put her money in the market and she didn't trust the financial advisor M. So I was like, man, look, put your money right here. Put your money right here by this stop get rid of all that they got you doing. W And so I said, go accent and she came back and she was like, Yo, you need to tease us that on Instagram? Oh, because that makes sense. Yah. Yeah. And I was like, man, I'm but I don't want hear nothing about that MM. And so one of my partners, who was at as a man thinking is that greedy? He told me say, Dawn, you really just a s nerd in the street and abody. Wow.

00:16:14
Speaker 1: So the way you took everything you learned in prison and then made mistakes again after you got out, but them flipped it. How did like everything take off once you put it on Instagram?

00:16:25
Speaker 2: So my partner told me something that was dope. He said, there's so many people that wanna invest in the market that they don't talk to yeah, mm you the bridge doll. Wow. And so when I first started doing it, my goal was just to get dudes in the street out the street. It was the girls who I know was dancing and stripping, to get them out of the club because a lot of them was losing their life. They was, you know in New Orleans. Like a thing in New Orleans is I don't know how these are other places, but getting kidnapped, putting a person in the trunk and burning them, that's a thing in New Orleans. Really, yeah, that's a thing. So many girls that I knew and so many dudes was getting meeting at fate MM, and I was like, yo, like this is how we get out the game. Dog. But the thing about us is you can't teach us something if it ain't working for you. Yeah. Right. And so in the beginning, nobody was listening to me mm. But once they saw it change my life, they need to see proof. It was like, okay, okay, we believe you now. We believe you now, and.

00:17:35
Speaker 1: How do I do it?

00:17:36
Speaker 2: Yeah? Like, cause you it's hard to tell me that something work if you still struggling. Yeah, yeah, like like r which is why a lot of times, it's hard to get a dude from the street to go get a job because everybody that he know with a job m in his area. Yeah, still struggling. Yeah, he watched his mama work two drives to struggle. He watched his antique work jobs to struggle. He's watched his his daddy. It ain't wrong. Were couple jobs and still struggle. So you watched everybody struggle at work the job. So that's why you don't believe in the job. Yep. Yeah, that's why you don't believe in it. And so once they saw it, it started working for me. Believe believe.

00:18:14
Speaker 1: I love that because I have we have mutual friends. And I remember Keanu. She was like, y'all need to talk too. I need to talk to him. He can tell you where to put your money and everything. Because when I really started making money, that's sounds like I've got to learn where to put it, how to invest it, how to save on tax. It's it's so many loopholes and so much game that we don't know as a black community. When we start making money, the first thing we want to do is spend it. You know, And you said, people don't believe you when they don't see it. But you look at some of the wealthiest people, they're not walking around looking wealthy, but they got it, you know what I'm saying. So I think we have to get out of the mindset of okay, yeah, I believe it now because of like how you live in or all those things, cause sometimes you ain't got it either when you're living like that outside of your means. We live in a culture where everyone is trying to teach, have all these courses and things like that. How did you cultivate your course to make sure that people understood it's not a skin because there's our people out here really scanning. How did you like really build that and say I'm gonna keep this integral and make sure that I'm teaching people and that they get what they need out of it.

00:19:30
Speaker 2: I'd use the same mentality that we had in the streets. It was give it away for free. Wow, Wow, give it away for free, and if it's good for free, don't pay for it. Yeah. Same when the streets, like you can't if you're gonna hustle somebody neighborhood up. You got a new product, you got why you put testas out there? Come off the same brick. MM, how to react to it and if it's good, you know you got something wow. And so I remember I used I was. I quit the job and I was sleeping on my ant so for my grad my aint glow. And one of the things I used to do was I had this thing called the Kilo pack. So this two thousand and twenty, I would I would let people call me on a phone call for ninety seven dollars and you could book a zoom call with me for one hour. Well, the Keo, the Keilo pack, you would get that. And I wasn't tech savage. So a friend of mine named Danielle, she was real tech savvy. She helped me write my first e book. Yeah. So she would listen to me and say, what did you wanna put it in? And I'd write the e book, write it, write it, write it. And then she said, you gotta build an email list. I said, okay, let's let's give 'em the e book. Then, yeah, I don't even know why I need an email list, but I'm listening to her sad, you gotta build an email list. I was like, alright, cool, well let's just give them the e book. Then yeah. And so the keylot pack was being able to talk to me on a zoom call and get the e book. And when I quit the job, I was doing like nine or ten of those a day.

00:21:06
Speaker 1: Oh wow, but my brain used to just oh my gosh.

00:21:09
Speaker 2: I can imagine it would hurt. But I was being an entrepreneur, so I didn't care. I'm getting I'm getting his money telling in my day. Shoot, that's more than I'm making. And so I met a friend of mine's name is Pockey from her to States, and he told me something. He said, I want you to take everything that you say on those calls because I still would recall the zooms and he said, put it in the package and instead of doing the phone calls, give him that. Yeah, and then what you can do is if you're going through the phone call, you can do the phone call. And of course for a thousand dollars. So I was like, and I'm not doing the phone calls them like that would hurt my brain. So I came up with this other product called Meet the Plug. Everything was surrounding around the streets. Everything was around, but.

00:22:01
Speaker 1: I'm sure like people that were gravitating towards you understood and loved it.

00:22:05
Speaker 2: Loved it, and so meet the Plug was where I would for three thousand dollars, I would fly to you Wow, I would book a hotel room and we would lock in for a whole day. And so I would let them see my account though, And that was the that was the transparency. Yes, it wasn't that I was just teaching. I was doing exactly what I said I was doing. And I think that's where a lot of people fall shot at today is you're not doing exactly what you're telling people to do. You're teaching but not executed. And so that has always been my motto is to give away as much as I can, teach as much as I can for free, and as a by productor that you would buy whatever product and service I had. And then the service I had to realize that the people who are gonna buy this are probably gonna be at the lowest level. And so what I would do is I would create something and I felt like it was and I don't want to say, like dumb it down, but I was like, it's still too jargon ish. Let me break it down again. And so everything that I taught, I will always challenge myself to break it down because I didn't want the language barrier to continuously be the reason why we're not doing the thing and that I don't get it. And so all of my teaching is energetic. It didn't laughter. Like in one of my videos. I actually teach with the lou of a tone bag, like you got this lowis bag, you know, and you make it. You understand our culture. And so we started doing that. And then when we created the show, I told my guy Jose, I said, we're gonna show the account every week because I realized on Wall Street nobody was showing their account. I realized that none of the in you know, the people in my space were showing their account. And I say, HOSEI, we gonna We're gonna show the account all when you lose or draw. Yeah, we're gonna show the account and the options market. We're gonna show the account of buying whole market. And so they watched me grow the account from four hundred thousand and twenty twenty two to four point five million in twenty twenty to this year. They watched me do it wins and losses. They saw me make a million dollars in one play. They saw me lose five hundred thousand in a day, But none of that mattered to me because it was the authenticity. And we did it at a high level because what I said to people was, there are people making five thousand dollars, three thousand dollars, two thousand dollars. I say, HOSEI we're gonna let them see somebody make a million. Mm, so I wanna increase their capacity, right, And you don't have to start with what I had. But if you see me make five hundred thousand, if you've seen make two hundred thousand, if you see me make a million and play, what that tells you is somebody that looked like you it it's possible for you too, absolutely, And so that was just that's the authenticity around the brand. Yeah, even to now, we just did was we took a property. We took a million dollars out of the stock market, went bought a building with the profits. The building's five point five million. We took a million out the market for the down payment. We bought the building with the stock market profits, and now the building will now offset my taxes. Yeah, for twenty twenty four, that's the ultimate way to play the game. It is. But if nobody ever shows us that, yeah, then we will put a cap on what the possibilities are.

00:25:38
Speaker 1: Yeah.

00:25:39
Speaker 2: Yeah. And when it comes to money, there is no cap. It's not We got men and women were hundreds of billions of dollars. And for me, the stock market is the equaliza that makes the game attainable for us. Yes, my daughter eight years old right now, she got seven figures in the market.

00:26:00
Speaker 1: Wow.

00:26:00
Speaker 2: I've been investing for us since she was one, so I bought her freedom early.

00:26:05
Speaker 1: How what did you do like for your daughter? Cause I do wanna give like some tips.

00:26:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's go.

00:26:10
Speaker 1: If we have family members that you have a newborn children, how can they set their children up? Or if you have somebody say who has no idea about the stock market, but it's looking to get into it, can you give them?

00:26:23
Speaker 2: Just won't give me one of like to get for If you have a kid, you need to go to Charles Swab or E Trade. I recommend those to a fidelity and open up what's called a custodio account. And what that is, cause what we'll do is we'll say, while I opened up my child a bank account, and we think we have done the most phenomenal thing for them, right right, Well, what happens is if you open up a bank account, that money ain't gonna do nothing for him. But if you open 'em up a custodio account, you allow any money to work for them. Yeah, and you become the person who controls it. And so I tell everybody the first way to create that generation because I am not generational wealth. My daughter is, yes, right, like I'm the one who is going to establish what freedom looks like. But I'm not generational. She is. And how it gets even further is now I have to install tools information in her that makes it generation. No. Yes, And so you open that custodio account. But if you don't know how to start, I'm not the person to say, like, buy what you use because that'll put you that'll make you lose one.

00:27:32
Speaker 1: And that's what I've heard or heard. Look at all your products, yeah, like that's what people tell you.

00:27:43
Speaker 2: The first thing I would say is if you just getting started, just buy the entire stock market just to start off. So it's no mutual fund because I heard no mutual funds. Still away from mutual funds. And here's why the fees you're gonna pay with me. Mutual funds, most neutral funds underperform the stock market, which means they don't give you the same return as the stock market does. But yet the people you are still paying the fees for underperformance. Right, you're still paying the fees for underperformance. So if you're going to do that, why not just buy the entire S and P five hundred, which is voo or spy. That's just keeping it not complicated. Let's just start there, and then let's say how much you get paid. Let's make this automated. So every week, every time you get paid, let's just start with ten percent or whatever you're getting paid. This is my freedom account, this is my freedom fund. I like that right now you have meaning to it. So you say, all right, every time I get paid, I'm putting ten percent when I get paid into this S and P five hundred. So now I'm not paying a broker, I'm not paying a fund manager, I'm not paying a financial advisor. I'm paying myself. That's it. I'm paying myself. We start there when we gotta go far. That's what happens is you will see somebody like me and be like, I won't get what trap at. There's been a journey family.

00:29:12
Speaker 1: I didn't just start here like you.

00:29:15
Speaker 2: You're watching me as a polished product, but through the losses, and I always see this information in the losses. There's so much information I learned at the losses to make me better, and I was all in on it. I knew that this would change my life. I knew that this would change my family. For the last three Christmases, I've rented a mansion in Orlando and took my whole family there. Wow. There that for five to seven days, and I take one day to teach some financial every really, every time I make the supposed to go viral, it's about eight or nine of them in that. Because you got to realize, we all come from the slum. So we're in a house that got seventeen rooms. They ain't never seen that, in a room where they got their own bed, most of them coming from bens. What we in the bed? You on this side, I'm on this side. They got their own bathroom, they got their own shower, they got a chef, they got a bowling alley movie theater. They ain't never seen nothing like this.

00:30:14
Speaker 1: Exposure is so important.

00:30:15
Speaker 2: They got a big old pool the size of six flags in the backyard. So what happens is that environment made it easy for them to learn because when they're looking at it, they're like, how you got this. I'm glad you asked that. Let's talk about So it was the exposure. So and I'm not saying everybody have you know, everybody can't start there, but that was easy and saying let's get on a zoom call. Well, what happens is if if you're in that beginning stage, let's start with the zoom call. Yeah, let's start when we get with each other around Christmas and in New Years and Thanksgiving. I tell everybody in my community that's the perfect time to have that conversation. But everybody ain't gonna listen. But you know you got that one cousin that you jammed with.

00:30:54
Speaker 1: Yes, it's like, now, y'all, we need to list attention.

00:30:58
Speaker 2: And so that's the way you start into it. You know, you start with that, and then you can say, okay, let's look at the products that are here's the easy way. If you go look at the top ten richest people in the world, they all are rich, wealthy because they have ownership of stock in the companies that they own. So think about Elon Musk, right, so he has Tesla, but Tesla alone didn't make him a billionaire. It's because he owned so many shares of Tesla. Yeah, So if you want to know where to start at, go look at the top ten richest people in the world and find out what the companies that they own, and then buy stock in their companies. That's something they ain't never heard before. That ain't never heard before. I like that, you feel me. So if you go look at the top ten richest people in the world, you're gonna see Jeff Bezos. That's Amazon. You're gonna see Elon Musk, that's Tesla. You're gonna see Warren Buffett bertsh I had that way. You're gonna see Mark Zuckerberg. That's Meta. You're gonna see Larry Ellison that's Oracle. So you can go look at the top ten riches Larry Page, that's Google. You go look at the top ten riches people in the world. They ain't up there for no reason, and go say, Okay, which one of these companies on the stock market. That's what I want to buy this company? This company that you can start out.

00:32:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love it, Trap, That's cute.

00:32:24
Speaker 2: Come on, I love it. I love it.

00:32:28
Speaker 1: So I want to know what is next for Trap. You just want this building.

00:32:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're gonna work on a movie. We're gonna work like oh God. So first, it's growing spiritually, yeah, because every time I see a new realm that I'm getting into, I know I need more guidance. Yeah. So for me, it's growing spiritually first and then taking this building. So we're gonna call the building Freedom Center Beautiful and the goal behind that is to revolutionize the way that people experience financial literacy. That's important. And then what we want to do. My goal behind that is to turn that into putting one of those in every hood. So from Atlanta, the next one I want to do is in New Orleans, and then Houston and then Dallas. So my goal is to have a Freedom Center in every hood in America to make financial literacy accessible. And I have the saying, if you're allowed them to feed you, you give them permission to starve you. And we cannot afford to give people the ability to start us.

00:33:41
Speaker 1: That's real.

00:33:43
Speaker 2: We have a presidential election up and I always say like, no matter who your political view, is that's your opinion. But nobody cares more about your money than you. That's so true. Nobody cares more about your family's financial stuff then you, and so you have this obligatory nunction to make sure you're family good. That's it. Yes, that's it. So we won't do that. And then the next thing is the goal is to create a book. You know, we want to write a book, and then I won't be a husband, man.

00:34:25
Speaker 1: So what are you looking for?

00:34:31
Speaker 2: So I think for me right now, I am I'm not dating, but I'm pursuing a woman.

00:34:42
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, he's not.

00:34:48
Speaker 2: But I am pursuing, and I'm figuring out how that looks.

00:34:53
Speaker 1: That's beautiful.

00:34:54
Speaker 2: I love it, you know, I'm figuring out how that looks from patient, from understanding, from communication. Because what happens is you can be this successful man and you can say, yup, I'm at the top of the food chain. The world is my oyster.

00:35:20
Speaker 1: Yeah that's how much the thing.

00:35:23
Speaker 2: Or you can say, let me work on myself, let me get myself right, and then let me find a woman and let me pursue her, court her, date her. Come on, you know what I'm saying. And then see where that goes. And so right now I am in a situation where this woman before she made me feel safe and I had never felt that before. And I went through a phase where I told her I can't love you. I don't have it any Yeah. So I went to therapy for a year and I worked on myself and I went to UH getting this spiritual fulfillment from men that are married, that's right. And I've I've been just a student to men who are honoring their wives because I come from an environment where I never saw that, right, yep. And so I'm asking all the questions. And so I made a decision after I went to Italy. Yes, yes, and I said, alright, trap, we do not need to be traveling across this country alone alone. You know this is not it.

00:36:55
Speaker 1: I get it cause I've been traveling since like two thousand and seven. Yeah, and I haven't had anyone, like a significant other that I could experience it with. And you you get to a point you're like, dang, like this is a really dopta experience with someone else. Yeah, no, I feel you.

00:37:12
Speaker 2: Yeah. And so I was like, you know what, I had a situation where I think it was amazing, And I said, I really loved that woman, but I didn't know how to express it. I said, so now let me let me try to go back and write my room. M mm, cause I w it wasn't that I like messed with women or nothing on that. I just didn't n emotionally, I wasn't available. I was on some get this money, yeah and so, and there are seasons for that, and there are seasons for it and so. But she just made me better as a man. She made me better. She's a woman that has standards. She was like, YO, like, I don't feel safe emotionally here, so you gotta do something about that. Let's talk about it. And so now that I'm better, so I I I'll try. I've been pursuing and we have been building, and she hasn't made it easy. Whoever you are that she should. And I guess her thing was, I need you to show me that you are who you say you are, Like, you have the success, cool, I get it, you you're you're a great talker, right, but you've been that way for so long. I need to know. And so that has been so hard for me because I'm so used to getting what I want when I want. And so that's what I leaned in on God a little more, and I said, God, this isn't just a lesson I bother her, this is a life lesson because if I'm truly going to follow you, you won't give me everything I want in the moment. No, right. But and so it's like, okay, And so we've been talking, we've been dating, we've been you know, and I told myself that I didn't want to if I was going to pursue her, I didn't need to engage in trying to date other women because you have and know what you want. So that's that's what I've been at. That's why i've been at, and I have been I'm still a great communicator, so like I like healthy relationships with people that aren't communicate with. But that's what I've just been pursuing.

00:39:28
Speaker 1: I'm for you. Thank you for sharing. You are such a beautifully layered man. I love all the layers of you. Thank you for your transparency and openness and coming to share with us. I know I learned a lot. Appreciate you and I wish you nothing.

00:39:46
Speaker 2: But likewise, likewise, and whatever I can do to you know, serve you and your audience. Man, let me know, like my mom is a huge fan, you know what I'm saying, So we can do whatever I can do. I like good people. I like good people. I like people like I see your journey, you know, I see your journey. And it's amazing to see again a woman that is like okay this because you can easily be like I'm this right and and not like when you saw me was like hey, trap he saw my daughter, he was like hey, And so that that isn't something that energy cannot be fake. So God is doing something amazing for you, right. And so that's the people that I want to be connected to. I want to be people who understand that they are just a resource for the bigger source.

00:40:37
Speaker 1: Yes, that's it.

00:40:39
Speaker 2: And I'm a vessel, so and I see that in you. I see you as a vessel, through your character, through who you are in real life. I see that vessel. So, man, whatever I can do, this was an honor. So whatever I can do, let me know, I'm here for sure.
