There's two types of people in this world. One does stuff and the other has magically long amazing explanations why they can't do it. For each of you, you gotta ask yourself, I work with Ty. Which one is Ty going to perceive me as? This conversation I'm having is the most nonsense conversation I've had in a long time. And especially it's coming from some of you leaders which I don't know what you're doing. You're going back in the dark side. Remember what Jesus Christ says. As a dog returns to his vomit, so a fool returns to his folly. Some of you returning to your folly. You know better your brown or black belts with me. The thought that you had a video that I shot, 25 minute video pre call to send high ticket leads and you on your own could not get that thing edited down to the appropriate version is nonsense of the highest magnitude. And I sold. Some of you stop talking because I'm gonna lose respect for you. Respect is not something to be lost because it's hard to gain back. So be careful. Respect is not. That's why women call it the ick. Once a woman's dating a guy and she clicks into the ick about you, you ain't recovering from the ick. And I can get an ick in business too. I'm like, no, I don't want to talk to that guy. That dude never finishes anything and has insanely awesome reasons why he couldn't. Like I said years ago, I'm in Raleigh, North Carolina. I had to move apartments on short notice. I text 10 of my friends, supposedly my close friends. I said, hey man, I know it's Friday night but I just got word I gotta move quicker than I thought. I was planning to move out in two weeks. I got the dates wrong. I gotta be out of here in the morning. Would you mind showing up at 6 in the morning? I'll buy us pizza. I didn't have much money back then. Magically. This is what always happens with your 10 friends. Five of them don't even reply back. They pretend they didn't see your message. Even though we know 98% of iMessages are read they're your fake friends. Then you got three, okay? 80, 20 rule. The other three have insane reason. Oh, my dog. You're not going to believe it, bro, I'd always be there for you. My dog, while I was going yesterday, fell out of a tree. Hit, you know, hit a kumquat, Slipped, flipped, broke its back simultaneously. I slipped on the dog that Just slipped on the fruit. We both flipped. We're both fucking in the ER right now. I would send you a picture, but you know, my camera broke on my phone as I slipped on my dog. That was slipping. I'll be there for you next time. And then you get two dudes, you just wake up and they don't even text you. They're just there. That's the guy I like. That's your real friend. That's your real family member. You can have fake family too. Blood's thicker than water, but it ain't thicker than common sense. So please don't become that person in my mind. I go, oh, here we go. I find something that's being done wrong in the sales team and I'm gonna have to hear whack job stories about. Oh no. Utah told us not to make a better video. Yes, that's exactly. That's. We all know Ty doesn't do much with videos. He just shoots one and never edits and never has variations. What are you talking about? I want every 67 step ad to have 300 variations. We're cutting them up with AI and a huge team. You're like, we don't have video bandwidth. Video editors. Let me just check something. I built a video editing army. Now you may not be paying attention, but let's see what happens if you do pay attention. I'm in the official telegram. I will go to the viral repost and army. There's only 1402 editors in there. Not many. I mean, what could we. Of course we're backlog. Let's say 20 of those are good. So there's a solid three. 250. Definitely. Tough. You're right. We definitely have a backlog of editors. By the way, we have like four external slack channels full of people in Hyderabad, in Indonesia. Come on, man. Your Jedi tricks will not work on me, young Jedi. Maya, what's the correct response when you do a fuck up? Anybody know. Oops, my bad. Yeah, Anybody know the actual proverb on this? There's an exact proverb that stood the test of time for like 2000 years. Anybody know what it is? A gentle word. Turns away wrath. Yeah, Joe, Maya. A gentle answer turns away wrath. I'll remind you of a story. Many years ago, this guy Walter, he was. He put some lent money to a company that I had. 150 grand. I remember it was like 2011. Then he said, pay me back in December. It was a short term loan. And he is, dude. He wasn't quite a billionaire, but he was worth 500 and 900 million dollars. Old dude, grumpy. I remember being like, maya, let's pay this dude back early. We paid him back two months early. I remember it was due around Christmas time. Two months early. Two months early. We paid this guy. It was like, 2013, 2012. I get the nastiest voice memo in December I've ever gotten in my life. It was so loud. I remember Maya was in another office, and she could hear the voice memo, and I didn't have it on speakerphone. He was screaming through the phone. So I had a choice. I could come back with a hardcore. I was even in the right. He was in the wrong. I remembered the proverb that stood the test of the last 2000 years. It means it's fucking good advice. It's lasted through thousand generations, hundreds of generations. So I called him up. I said, walter, sorry about the confusion, but I just left him a voicemail, by the way. Because he didn't answer. No. Maybe he answered. I can't remember if he answered. It's been 10 years. But I remember just going, I paid you back early. Now, this guy had so much money, he wouldn't know. I said, can you check with your cfo? Guess what? He never called me back and apologized. Nothing. Because that's not how the world works. The world's not a world of justice. The world's. The world is a world of cause and effect. If you haven't figured out, you don't always. It's not the land of your mom and dad where everybody cares about you. He was busy and, like, heard the voice of my mom. Probably called his cfo. Did we get the money? Oh, okay. We're good. They didn't care about calling me back. I was in the right, and I learned not to defend myself. Please, just. You're not gonna be able to trick me into words. By the way, I know from one of my mentors, Dr. David Buss and Dr. Helen Fisher, that scientists think the main reason. If you believe in evolution, I know some of you don't, but if you happen to believe in evolution, scientists think that vocal cords evolved so that you could deceive people. So when I go, where. How many times did you send out this pre call video that I slaved away at and shot for 30 minutes while I was rushing to the airport so that you guys could close more sales and you start using your vocal cords a lot. I'm like, this motherfucker is trying to deceive me. By the way, my other mentor wrote a Book on this. Anybody read it? The most respected scientist probably on Earth, Dr. Robert Trivers, the head of the Harvard Biology Department. The folly of fools. How your brain is meant to lie. Don't do it to me. You may actually believe your lies. You may believe what you were just telling me. I don't though. It's not my prerogative to believe the folly of fools, so I don't believe you. There's two kinds of people. One, I give them a pre call video. It's been two fucking months. If it was one day, I could understand why it wasn't done. It's been two fucking months. You edited yourself. Damn it. In the last two months, I've edited 40 of my own videos. I do a green screen. Today it's Doing a green screen on Instagram because they have such a dumb UI is actually harder than you editing on your Mac. I know you guys have a Mac. Go in there, pull up the movie editor. You, you take the thing, you look at the timeline. You chop the part you don't want. You take my 25 minute video. You go. Okay, when I'm talking to podcast clients, I'm just going to send them this 12 minutes, okay? Don't think you shouldn't be. So letting me talk to customers, I day by day like sales less than I like marketing. I've already told you all that. I saw a tweet by Naval Ravikant. It's pretty smart billionaire. He said, if you're good at marketing, you never need sales. I know why now. I don't quite agree with him, but I see where he's talking. I see what he's talking about. So why don't you sales people let me make a video for you and just do the selling for you. Marketing is automated sales. And automated robots always beat manual people. News flash. A car is an automated version of those old railroad things that people used to pump up and down. Now you have a piston that's fired by gas. A robot's better. So for those of you who aren't going to learn video editing enough that you can take my videos and make your job easier, you're forgetting the six levers of wealth. How to make 10 times the money with half the work. You need a leverage, Archimedes. If I have a lever long enough and a place to stand, I can lift the world. He was actually right and he forgot. You have to have a piece of steel strong enough to withstand the mass of the earth. But theoretically, what's your lever? It's a personal Brand, you don't want to lever a video that you send from your imessage. Yo, I'm about to jump in a call but Ty recorded this for you to just quick can you mind doing me a favor? It'll make our call faster. Can and then send them keep in your phone Video A for private metro clients, video B for mansion party. If you don't see it's not hard, please. By the way, I judge you by what makes you sweat. Higa machado. Jiu jitsu is coral belt, almost basically a red belt, but he's not old enough to be a rebel. One time I was sparring with a guy that's, you know, a white belt and I'm a. I'm blue belt and I'm like, I won. And he's like, no, you didn't. I said why? He said, why'd you have to. He said you were sweating. He said if you have to sweat as a blue belt against a white belt, you're not. I don't know if you should have your blue belt. So some of you in my system of delegating leads, I want to delegate them to you as a black belt. You don't know how to edit up a fucking video yourself. Also, you're not aware enough that we have 1200 editors in one telegram, which you're all also a part of. I looked. Don't go down that dark side with me. You all going to save a lot of. I have to tell this to Maya sometime. She's a damn leo. Leos always think defending themselves will make them look better, but they always look worse when you're probably wrong. Just give up. Who cares? Like the art of war says Sun Tzu, the wise general wins without fighting. So what's winning? It's collecting more cash because you get paid a commission on it. So just win. Don't worry about the little justice things. Oh well, Ty said in his long talk to me about this, he said one thing that was incorrect. He said that he sent the video on Tuesday. Oh no, he actually sent it on. That was a Wednesday. I remember. Let me try to pick apart. Tight. Stop it. Don't sweat so easily. You. I want you to not swear. Die. I added that. By the way, I don't know if y' all know this, but there's new AI software. You go there, you buy credits for like $5. You upload my 25 minute video and Ben, how many iterations can it spit out for you? Approximately 20 to 40. How much energy, Ben, does it take? I mean, not a lot? No. Okay. Do you have the power to do this? You take a mouse, the finger has to move here and go like that. And then how long does it take for the AI to chop the videos? 5 minutes. And what can you do during the 5 minutes? Can you go get a drink of water and some food? Yeah. Okay. Society is degrading, ladies and gentlemen. Really. Things are getting easier and people are perceiving it as harder. I always liked good old Joel Salatin on the farm. When I got to the farm, he had been living on that farm since the 1960s and he never had a four wheeler. And I said, why all farmers have four wheelers? He said, because, Ty, then it'll be too easy and I won't walk everywhere. He's like, right now I walk, you know, 25,000 steps a day. If I have a tread, if I have an atv, four wheeler to do my farm work, I'll get lazy. And Joel strong. He's still strong at 70. I was just there with some of his farmhands and like, we went out logging with Joel. He was the logger of the year once in the state of Virginia. Loggers are wacky strong, and he made his life harder on them. Another thing I like that Naval Ravikant said, when you have the choice between two things, one's harder in the short term. In general, do that thing. Usually the harder and the short term things win. You know why? Because most people are pussies. So if you want to make money, if you figure out what the hard thing is and you do it, guess what? 99% of entrepreneurs win won't do it. It's not even hard anymore. So please don't go down this dark side of Ty. You sent us a good video, but we didn't know how to edit it. Thank you.
