0:00so what's
0:02up well we just flew from um from Miami
0:05straight here so that was a long flight
0:08but uh yeah I'm glad to be in it's
0:10always funny coming to LA from Miami
0:12just the total opposite why cuz like
0:14Miami is all like Latin culture right
0:16and then you come to LA and it's a
0:17totally different culture but it's also
0:20by the beach but uh you get pros and
0:24cons of both I like coming I like coming
0:26here to visit especially coming to
0:28sugundo it's like a totally different
0:30Vibe than um like La specifically it's
0:33like right on the
0:34outskirts but uh more homey I
0:38think what how would you describe the
0:40vibe of
0:41Miami uh it's funny because my wife and
0:44I we're not even into that vibe that it
0:45is but it's like more night more light
0:47life like young 20 to 25 year olds like
0:50partying make money like uh boats Yachts
0:53all that and I I mean I I'll have fun
0:55but like we don't even drink so you know
0:57we don't even go out like our our night
0:59of going out or having fun is like
1:00dinner but the funny part about Miami is
1:02dinner doesn't start till like 10:30 or
1:0411: really yeah like we we show up at
1:066:00 or 6:30 or 7 to dinner cuz that's
1:08when we usually eat 6:00 and there's no
1:11one in the restaurants the popular
1:13restaurants there's no one there it's
1:15just us and we like where is everybody
1:17and we learned this when we first moved
1:18there it's because everybody starts
1:20partying or doing dinner at 10: 10:30
1:24and then they go out they stay out till
1:25like 4: really yeah so what time did did
1:28people wake up well it's funny my wife
1:31actually got invited by a friend group
1:34of hers that was like we're going to
1:35start we're going to go out tonight you
1:37want to come and she's like um well I
1:38haven't gone out so yeah I'd love to do
1:39it and they're like okay pregame starts
1:41at uh at 2 o'clock in the
1:43morning so like 2 o'clock in the morning
1:46is when the pregame starts so then
1:48they're not going to wake up till like 2
1:49or 3 or 4 in the afternoon damn yeah
1:54it's like what I did when I was like at
1:56College yeah exactly so it doesn't make
1:58sense for us now m that's not what I'd
2:01be I mean maybe once like a year maybe
2:03if it was like a celebration or
2:04something I'd be I'd go hard but so why
2:08do you like it
2:10Miami I've lived in Arizona so I've
2:13lived in Texas I was born in Texas and
2:15then we moved to Arizona when I was
2:16going into uh seventh grade and then I
2:19was there from seventh grade till
2:21college and then I was just tired of it
2:24so I was like all right let's go to
2:25Miami the only reason why we moved to
2:26Miami just to be honest was because at
2:28that time this is when Co was happening
2:31and it really didn't make much sense to
2:32go anywhere else that uh was attractive
2:36to us in the United States we were
2:38thinking about New York but uh the
2:40policies and stuff there were pretty
2:42crazy and Miami just made the most sense
2:47and also like you know my wife's
2:49Colombian and I'm I've always had a goal
2:51to speak fluent Spanish and my my
2:53parents are and my family is like more
2:55Hispanic and and so I was like all right
2:56I got to learn Spanish where's the best
2:57play to do that Miami in the United
2:59States
3:00everyone speaks Spanish in Miami it's
3:01like the first language actually so uh I
3:05like it because I'm 10 minutes away from
3:06the beach um the only thing that sucks
3:10about Miami is the so for example I'm a
3:15big UFC fan so the fights start at 10:00
3:18EST which means the last fight the main
3:20fight that you're watching the UFC card
3:22for the Mixed Martial Art fights is
3:24starting at like 1 or 1:30 so like my
3:26sleep schedule on Saturdays is like
3:28screwed I'll stay up to do that maybe
3:31I'm an old guy I don't know but uh but
3:34the beach the friend group the
3:36networking alone I got to meet Bashar
3:37out there who's also in the The
3:39Mastermind and then Mitch is out there
3:41there's a lot of people out there that I
3:43just didn't even know and would never
3:45have been connected with if I didn't
3:46move to Miami so like I knew everybody
3:48in Arizona as much as I could in this in
3:50this you know marketing space and I was
3:52like all right where are we going to
3:53move Miami makes the most sense let's
3:55move and we've been there for a year now
3:58um this month so it's been pretty fun
4:01yeah it seems to be one of these new
4:02like entrepreneur hubs I always hear of
4:05people moving to Miami yeah and the
4:08other one is like I mean you hear about
4:10Dubai right yeah but Dubai's time zone
4:14is pretty
4:15crazy why did you give it that that kind
4:18of year um it was like a year but no
4:22well I feel like it's also it's just a
4:23totally different country yeah you know
4:26it's a lot to just to save money on Tax
4:29it's like going to Puerto Rico right
4:31like you're do you're kind of just doing
4:34it to save money on taxes but then
4:36you're kind of sacrific and then you
4:37always come back to United United States
4:39anyways for business so it's kind of
4:42like interesting not to say that anyone
4:44who's living in Dubai isn't having a
4:45great time because it looks like they
4:46are always right uh and there's like no
4:48crime and stuff but I just I don't
4:52know I'll say it I've never been to
4:54Dubai so I can't speak on it that much
4:56but uh I think that um
4:59I like Miami right now you know Arizona
5:02I was pretty surprised because I'd never
5:04been there before I went out to meet
5:05Cole Gordon and there's like a good
5:09little network of of entrepreneurs there
5:12it got even more popular around the time
5:13that I moved to Miami um and we I knew
5:16if I stay there another year I'd
5:17probably just stay there as my home base
5:19and there's nothing wrong with Arizona
5:20the only thing it's missing is like a
5:22beach right but other than that it has
5:24you know Sedona which is an hour up
5:25north which is like the uh the red rocks
5:28and a lot of people go there relax and
5:30get away and then you have Flagstaff an
5:32hour north from Sedona which is like the
5:34mountains where you can go snowboarding
5:36and skiing um so it's like really sick
5:39it's a sick State actually um and
5:42there's a lot of people in there
5:43especially in the space so Arizona is
5:46nothing to not be uh bragging about it's
5:48definitely a great state Scottdale
5:51especially too yeah yeah I was surprised
5:54there was like a good network of like
5:56entrepreneurs they're even in the same
5:57building pretty much they one in North
5:59uh
6:00yeah it's uh the Optima kand North North
6:03Scottdale yeah there's like I know like
6:0510 or 12 people that live there it's
6:08like that all entrepreneurs that are all
6:10yeah all entrepreneurs they all work
6:11together all work with the same clients
6:12it's funny yeah yeah cuz yeah I've been
6:15I've now met I had a zoom call with this
6:18guy Nick Verge you know yeah he said he
6:21knows you yeah and I could spot in the
6:23background I was like wait a minute are
6:25you in the same building yeah and he was
6:27like yeah and I was like how many of you
6:29are there cuz you were just there right
6:32yeah you said you were was there like I
6:34don't know 90 days ago did you go on the
6:37rooftop yeah yeah where they have like
6:38the sa and everything yeah yeah and
6:41there was like clients and Community
6:42guys and just a whole there was probably
6:45like 10 entrepreneurs there that I met y
6:49it's pretty cool I think that change
6:51that's what a lot of entrepreneurs need
6:54as a small group like that yeah cuz it's
6:57too much to just sit in your house by
6:59yourself yeah and just be on the
7:02computer yeah cuz we've all done that
7:03already during the during the pandemic
7:05and stuff right so we're like let's get
7:07out and let's go let's go be around
7:09others so that's why that that Community
7:11there is so sick do you have that in
7:12Miami Yeah well yeah so where we live is
7:15in Brickle and that's like literally
7:17where pretty much a lot of people want
7:19to live because it's it's so close to
7:21everything you're 10 minutes from the
7:23beach just cross the bridge and you're
7:25there you know Mitch lives like
7:27maybe 5 minutes down the street stre
7:29from me um I can walk and go to another
7:32friend's apartment uh who lives
7:34literally right across the street from
7:35me and we all go to the same like gym we
7:39all go to the the beach on the same like
7:41it's just it's a really cool community
7:43so you guys hang out quite a bit Yeah
7:45like so we go to the cigar bar and stuff
7:46sometimes um so yeah it's it's you got
7:49to have that Community I think too
7:51especially with with the business World
7:52especially when you're doing online
7:53stuff so like that kierin spot in North
7:56North Scottdale like you don't even you
7:58don't have to leave that place because
8:00they have the the sauna they have the
8:01cold plunge they have the jacuzzi they
8:04have the gyms there's a gym in each
8:05building and think there's like four
8:06buildings in there if if I did stay in
8:08Arizona we'd be living there but Miami's
8:10uh Miami is still
8:12fun yeah
8:15so yeah I think
8:17that's it's like underrated but that's
8:20super important to have like a real good
8:24network of of friends around you that's
8:26a good point I was going to ask you
8:27because like with with school right it
8:30was in well not school well Consulting
8:32before right it was in person and then
8:34uh and now it's more in person again as
8:37opposed to Virtual right so I guess I'm
8:39curious for you like because of the
8:42community being so like important like
8:45what's your take on like the iners
8:46versus virtual now for what for like
8:50even just like uh even your team I guess
8:52I'm curious like oh so like the school
8:55team yeah yeah so everyone's in La mm
9:00but we are remote but about like 30% of
9:06the team is in person all the
9:09time and then the team comes in for like
9:12on-site interviews when we inter hire
9:14people they also come in when we brief
9:18them on like a new project so we can
9:20just collaborate together and then once
9:22a month for something we call a team day
9:25oh so they all come in yeah yeah so like
9:28it's a hybrid hybrid yeah
9:31um and some people still choose to work
9:34in office all the time I'm one of those
9:36people yeah when you have a kid it's
9:39totally different story yeah I have to
9:41leave my house cuz where we're at so
9:44what when we moved to Miami from Arizona
9:46it's my wife's Colombian so we went to
9:47Columbia for a month before we moved to
9:50Miami so I got to experience like
9:52Columbia and everything and that was
9:53pretty crazy and not crazy in a bad way
9:55crazy in like a cool way and um we moved
9:58to Miami without any place of living we
10:00just got an Airbnb for two weeks and
10:02we're like we'll figure it out and
10:03luckily we found a place on the second
10:04day and that's the place we're living in
10:05now but it's a studio right so like when
10:08you walk in it's a staircase immediately
10:10to The Loft up there where we have the
10:12bedroom and then on the bottom it's the
10:14living room the couch and like the
10:15balcony that has the view of Bickle
10:17which is sick but uh there's no way I
10:20can work there like during the day
10:23because it's well first of all the if I
10:25did have a desk and stuff it'd be on the
10:26same room floor as my bed as our bed so
10:30like I have to leave so I got a
10:32co-working spot where it's me and Nick
10:33in the office and uh I like have to
10:37leave to go work now which I like kind
10:40of like you it's like I like to go to
10:41the office and get stuff done if I try
10:42to work from home on my couch it's like
10:45it's just different so I have to
10:47separate the
10:49two yeah it's interesting watching this
10:52whole Trend emerged like everyone was
10:55like hardcore remote and now we're
10:58starting to see the crack of it I think
11:00that's why I was curious yeah yeah I
11:03mean we we haven't seen it so much with
11:04our company because we're still small
11:07and everyone's still in LA and we still
11:10have in person quite a lot um but in
11:14other just in in general there's like a
11:17ton of companies coming back to the
11:18office now you know went to speak at USC
11:21like the university over here oh that's
11:23sick and to their like engineering and
11:25business school and I asked a bunch of
11:29the
11:29students like I was curious would you
11:33would you rather have an inperson job or
11:35a remote and they said iners wow after
11:37after Co doing university remote they
11:41never want it ever again it sucked so
11:43bad imag and they're like we're going to
11:46be learning like how are we supposed to
11:48learn remote right yeah like you don't
11:52see just imagine it like going out of
11:55University and then starting a job and
11:57you're just like at a computer
12:00and you don't have that discipline yet
12:02to know like how to manage yourself cuz
12:04you're like you could be what like 20
12:07years old 21 years old yeah and also
12:09just the social interaction element
12:12probably single yeah yeah the the work
12:15environment would be totally dis you
12:18know different for you to navigate that
12:20which is interesting because what you
12:21said earlier like like look at what Elon
12:23Musk is doing with Twitter right like
12:25he's just getting everybody at the
12:28office like grinding and they're like
12:31making that product better all in person
12:33though it seems I could be wrong but
12:35from what I'm seeing on like Twitter it
12:37seems like they made everything in
12:39person yeah I think he
12:42just he was just trying to really strip
12:46that company down to the Beer Essentials
12:48and that was one way to do that right
12:50yeah well it's like what you said I
12:52think it was at the not the most recent
12:54Quantum Mastermind but the one before
12:55that when it was virtual you were like
12:58what's the fastest way to make
12:59uh a car go faster when you were
13:02building go-karts I think it was right
13:04you like you get rid of the extra extra
13:06weight yeah that's that's the easiest
13:09fastest way to make a car go faster it's
13:11exactly what it seems like he's doing or
13:12he did and it's it's now going
13:15faster and the experience is better I
13:17think too yeah I've listened to a few
13:21podcasts or interviews with him and he's
13:24got a very similar like way of
13:26approaching problem solving to me his
13:29first instinct is to delete right so
13:32like when they're building a
13:34car if
13:36there's there's so many parts that come
13:38together to make a car right but every
13:40individual part he thinks do we need it
13:43well you don't know until you've tried
13:44to remove it and then you see and then
13:48sometimes it doesn't work and you're
13:49okay well this part is necessary right
13:52mhm you can do that in your business too
13:54yeah
13:55um yeah and what's fascinating though is
13:58he said that in produ like you know when
14:00you're running a production line there's
14:02generally some part that will have
14:05issues and it will be like blocking the
14:06production line and it halts the whole
14:09Factory the whole Factory grinds to Halt
14:11cuz one thing is like blocking it and
14:14often when he goes to find that what
14:17that thing is that's blocking
14:19it it then he figures out do we need
14:22this it's often not even necessary so
14:25this is what I've found too often the
14:27things that are costing you the most
14:29time and effort and energy and holding
14:31everything else back are things that
14:33aren't even necessary at all and so like
14:36it's almost like they're calling for
14:38your attention like
14:39hey this is unnecessary and it's going
14:42to hurt you you know what I mean yeah
14:44it's bottlenecking you but it's not even
14:46needed yeah so it's like a bottleneck
14:49it's like everyone suffers for
14:51nothing yeah I'm trying to think of an
14:53example of like how how to define that
14:56well that's how I was working with you
14:57with the course you remember oh when we
15:00made that that course together yeah um
15:03and for people listening that the course
15:05was like webe and you and I were like
15:09well you should share what that
15:10experience was like yeah so it was it so
15:14it's well the story the full story was
15:16started start of the year uh I ended up
15:19joining Quantum and um my goal is to
15:22build out uh the coaching program for
15:24our agency cuz we had an AG we have an
15:26agency and uh we we help clients scale
15:28with YouTube ads and then you were I
15:31joined Quantum to have to get uh the
15:33help from you and the other members to
15:35build the done with you and then after
15:37the first event that I attended which it
15:39was crazy because you asked me to speak
15:40and I was like oh sick yeah so I just
15:42shared a bunch of YouTube ad stuff with
15:43the members and then like two weeks
15:45later you're like I have an idea can you
15:47get on a call and I was like yeah let's
15:49do it and then you uh were like I'm
15:51doing this new uplevel two 3.0 or 2.0
15:56but it's not up level it's totally
15:58different uh but I don't want to teach
16:00the YouTube ads in it because I think I
16:04think that it would be easier if you
16:08just did it because you're the one that
16:09does it um and then I was like yeah
16:12let's do it and then uh so basically we
16:14you asked me to help you with that and I
16:16did it I created all the content for it
16:17and and I guess it relieved stress from
16:20you and time so I just focused on it so
16:22you didn't have to right that's like
16:23relieving the bottleneck right there oh
16:26yeah I mean that was awesome how I
16:27didn't have to do it
16:30because I mean I wasn't doing YouTube
16:32ads so you
16:34know like I wasn't going to learn it and
16:38then teach it and be average at it right
16:42you know it was funny like in the at The
16:45Mastermind event that one you were
16:47attending yep you know we were going
16:48through all the topics and I could speak
16:50on them because I had been doing them
16:53then we get to YouTube ads and I like
16:55paused and I was like there was just
16:57nothing
17:00and I was like thinking in my head like
17:01am I really going to just try to talk
17:03about something that I don't know how to
17:06do and I was like this is not going to
17:09work like I can't do I can't fake it
17:12like that um and so then I just saw you
17:18and the audience you were like right
17:19there and then I remembered that how you
17:22joined and that you were an expert at it
17:25and I was like well why don't you talk
17:27about it yeah and then at first I was a
17:30little bit anxious I was like oh man is
17:33the is the audience going to think like
17:35Sam doesn't know stuff MH I think a lot
17:38of experts have this kind of yeah
17:41but interestingly enough they loved it
17:44more and then a few other people came up
17:47and spoke and that got everyone like
17:49going and they were like clapping and
17:52right and I was like damn that's this
17:55makes it bitter mhm yeah yeah cuz in The
17:58First beginning of The Mastermind like
17:59the way you run the Mastermind I think
18:00is so sick um it's you survey the room
18:03almost and you diagnose what everyone
18:06wants to learn that weekend of the
18:08Mastermind and it was funny cuz I had my
18:11notebook out and literally like one out
18:13of every three people that went out of
18:15the everyone that was in the room I
18:15think there was like close to 100 right
18:17it was like scaling YouTube ads scaling
18:19YouTube ads scaling YouTube ads and I
18:21was like dude those three words have
18:23come up 20 times like scaling YouTube
18:26ads scaling YouTube ads so I was excited
18:28cuz I was like oh man yeah we're going
18:30to learn scaling YouTube ads cuz it was
18:32funny when you made that video um on
18:34YouTube you dropped like I'm back and
18:36then you like here's what we're going to
18:37be doing and then you mentioned YouTube
18:39ads in there so I I messed up that part
18:40of the story I forgot that but when you
18:42said YouTube ads because Facebook ads
18:45are dying they're getting worse
18:46everyone's seeing success with YouTube
18:48ads we're going to be teaching that and
18:50I was like oh like I have to join
18:52Quantum cuz like if Sam's teaching
18:54YouTube ads or he knows something about
18:55YouTube ads that I don't know like
18:57that's going to make the ROI 10 times
18:59right there because I can learn one
19:01thing and apply it to our clients at our
19:03agency and then uh and then yeah when
19:05you ask me to speak I was like d this is
19:07sick and yeah I think people liked it a
19:09lot you know what's funny about all of
19:11this
19:12like I was running quum and I could just
19:15sense that every like Facebook ads was
19:17were not working very well cuz everyone
19:19was having problems with them and I
19:21could see that some people were getting
19:23YouTube to work mhm so I was like okay
19:26YouTube is important to the ma to the
19:28master mine but I wasn't doing it so
19:32then I just made that video and I just
19:35said what I think the future of what is
19:38going to look like right I didn't
19:39necessarily say I'm the expert at all of
19:41this stuff I was like yeah you didn't
19:42yeah this is what I see the future as
19:45and YouTube ads is going to replace
19:47Facebook ads YouTube Organics is going
19:48to be the main organic thing and I
19:51wasn't like a an experted any of that
19:53but I just told the truth and what was
19:55interesting is that that got you the
19:58first thing I noticed it do cuz I went
20:00to Twitter after releasing that video
20:03and I just searched for like mentions of
20:05me to see if anyone had said and you had
20:08tweeted about it but you hadn't applied
20:10for Quantum at this point not yet no
20:12yeah yeah so my first thing was oh well
20:14this got this guy really interested
20:17because he's a
20:19YouTube expert yeah and then you ended
20:24up in Quantum and I was like oh damn
20:26like that video must have really
20:28appealed to him and then that's how I
20:31when I spotted you in the audience
20:32that's how I knew that you should come
20:33up at that moment to talk wow yeah and
20:36then when I got to that same obstacle in
20:38the course yeah I was like well I
20:40already know what to do here I've
20:41already done this trick so I did it
20:44again um and then I was like what
20:48pattern is working here I'm like okay I
20:51just say what I think the future is so I
20:54also started talking a lot about YouTube
20:56organic y mhm the more I talked about
20:58you yoube organic even though I wasn't
21:00like a complete expert at it I started
21:02attracting all of the YouTubers so we
21:05get people like Vanessa Clark um Ali
21:08abdell like all of these people that are
21:12so good at YouTube YouTube yeah like
21:14people with 3 million Subs 4 million
21:16Subs that joined and I was like well I
21:20don't even need to get really good at
21:21YouTube now because these people are so
21:24damn good yeah so there's something
21:26interesting there right like
21:29with you don't have to be the expert at
21:31everything you just have
21:34to like worry about your your community
21:37or your Mastermind or whatever know
21:40exactly what they want and be totally
21:42honest about it and even if you don't
21:44have the solution you can just say what
21:47you think it is and you start to attract
21:49those people and then you let them share
21:52yeah yeah yeah I think it's funny
21:54hearing you say it full circle now cuz
21:57at that time yeah I was like dude I'm
21:59going to learn something about YouTube
22:00ads that I don't know yet and like that
22:02attracted me same with Clark and
22:04everybody and like I have like even at
22:06that Mastermind where I spoke like o
22:09went up and spoke after me as well and
22:11he taught it he he did a visual like on
22:14the Whiteboard that really just wrapped
22:16how we approach our targeting method for
22:18our clients into a visual and I was like
22:20oh dude that's what was missing from our
22:22because we have something that's called
22:23the targeting timeline you start with
22:24this targeting first warm up the
22:26conversion actions then you start
22:27scaling more Broad right and then he did
22:29this upside down triangle and I was like
22:31oh dude that was worth it alone but to
22:33go back to your point about like
22:35the what everything you said though from
22:38that video has come true like everything
22:41the YouTube ads higher quality intent
22:43buyers and leads hands down compared to
22:46Facebook they're also a little bit more
22:47expensive but once you get YouTube ads
22:50to work as we're seeing in wibe with the
22:51clients like one guy in in wibe
22:55umh I'm going to butcher his name right
22:57now um
22:59I believe it's uh dang I have to look it
23:02up uh he he he literally in the zoom
23:05call one day with Jesse me David and and
23:07and Hower he uh asked me a question and
23:10he was like by the way just want to say
23:12thank you so much prime because I was my
23:14but my business was almost dying with
23:15Facebook ads YouTube ads has literally
23:17saved my business Facebook ads was
23:19giving us uh scaling Problems YouTube
23:22ads is giving us hiring problems we're
23:24at an 8X return on ad spin he spent like
23:2730 grand made like almost 100 Grand back
23:29like over monthly and I was like dude
23:31this is crazy anyways I say all that to
23:34say that uh that combined with the
23:36YouTube organic with the release of
23:38YouTube shorts now now all I'm seeing on
23:41on socials YouTube shorts are just
23:44getting way dialed in and it's really
23:48going to be past Tik Tok pretty soon
23:50even with Mr Beast what Mr Beast said on
23:51the the NK boys podcast the future of
23:54YouTube is so bright so like everything
23:55you said is literally coming true so
23:57just to have that intuition on your end
23:59is really really sick and then being
24:01able to leverage others expertise for
24:04the good of your community is so smart
24:07like I think that's how I think I think
24:11that's yeah just so smart it's like a
24:12master Puppeteer
24:15almost yeah the interesting thing is I
24:17was just forced into it because I didn't
24:20have enough time to like go figure
24:22everything out right well yeah I mean
24:24learning well yeah in this specific case
24:26with the YouTube ad example like yeah I
24:29mean you'd have to run the ads and then
24:30create them from scratch and then put it
24:33together you know if I had enough time I
24:34probably would have done that yeah yeah
24:37so it's like the constraint that forced
24:39me to be creative and think to you know
24:43share it with other people and then and
24:45then the wi program itself because it's
24:48not a course or coaching program which
24:50what was the the hype for like the
24:52longest time it's a mastermind which
24:55combines all the elements that we're
24:56talking about kind of back to what the
24:58iners topic we were talking about right
25:00like having the training in the
25:02classroom uh inside of school which is
25:04the course content and then you have the
25:06community inside of school which is the
25:09Mastermind effect where everyone can ask
25:10questions and collaborate and help each
25:12other out but then you also have on the
25:14calls which is the calendar you can join
25:17the calls to get support from anything
25:19that you're stuck with or just to hang
25:21out with the other members or the
25:24assisting coaches like myself and
25:26everybody you know and it's those three
25:28elements combined is what makes it truly
25:32a unique and and and really amazing
25:34product
25:35because and it's for it's a mastermind
25:38right so it's not uh you know hey you're
25:40in this for 16 weeks and then you get
25:41booted out or you have to double up or
25:43something right which gives everybody
25:46the the relief because it like you said
25:48it I remember it's like it takes like a
25:49year to make true transformation in a
25:51business and cuz like getting ads to
25:54work in 30 days is just not realistic
25:56right which is why when we talked about
25:57I was like it's going to take at least 3
25:59months to get to scale
26:00realistically um but uh what's funny is
26:04when we were making
26:06webe and I was in charge of the YouTube
26:08ads content and I was brainstorming it
26:11yeah I was just like damn dude everyone
26:13everyone kept asking me like is does it
26:16a is it a lot of pressure and I was like
26:18I mean not really because I know it so
26:21well but there is pressure because I'm
26:23trying to do it the best way possible
26:26now because I'm I'm uh I'm also
26:29constrained to the way you did it the
26:30way you the way you set up witu was so
26:32was so brilliant too because it's
26:34onepage Google doc and a loom video so
26:37it's less about the like you know
26:38hourong two hour long slide by- slide
26:40stuff it's like what's the like the car
26:43example how can you strip away the stuff
26:44that you don't even need so I Stripped
26:46Away a bunch of stuff that I was like
26:47yeah we don't even need this in here and
26:50and it's working and I was like dang
26:51this is sick so the way the course was
26:53the way the the wibe um Mastermind was
26:56constructed as well was also a
26:59breakthrough for the industry I think as
27:01well which is uh is cool to see because
27:04now everybody on Twitter uh that I know
27:08who's like 20s something or whatever
27:09they're all talking about the Google
27:10Google doc vssl which is the thing you
27:13use to launch webe and now that set the
27:16it really happening oh dude it's
27:18everywhere everyone's doing a Google doc
27:21vssl like loom video Google doc vsl like
27:24that started to Trend in itself I'm
27:26telling you from the I'm back video the
27:28YouTube ads mentioned that started to
27:30Trend because that got me into it then
27:31the YouTube organic that started to
27:32Trend and then it was the Google Doc
27:35vssl the cell webe which was like can
27:37you every it literally shifted the
27:38Paradigm of everybody like you can you
27:39can do that like no one thought you
27:41could do that now they're doing it just
27:43be direct go for it and then the way the
27:46content is constructed is changing and
27:48everyone's doing Mastermind it's it's
27:50it's sick it's sick you're starting
27:51Trends here Sam your Trends
27:54Setter Mystic Mac
27:58well it was just it was painful before
28:01like I don't know about you but making
28:02slides there's something very wrong
28:04about making slides yeah yeah it doesn't
28:07feel good when you're doing it takes a
28:09long time it kind of makes you worry
28:10about like oh like I should put a an
28:13image here or I should put and it it
28:15bloats it and it's like what are just
28:18the core bullet points yeah it and if
28:21you just if you only have one page it
28:24forces you to be like is that necessary
28:27because you have to fit everything on
28:29one page yeah and so like when and this
28:32was kind of what I was getting at with
28:34elon's first instinct to delete right
28:36when you and I were collaborating on it
28:38and you were like we were going over the
28:40structure first so I was like give me
28:43the structure like what are yeah what
28:45are the what's the minimum number of
28:47modules in what order to be profitable
28:50with YouTube ads and
28:53then you can probably remember I always
28:55was asking you make it simpler can we
28:58remove that yeah you like ooh o like
29:01everyone always makes those kind of uh
29:03like the Google analytics thing yeah I
29:05asked you you said I was like do we need
29:07Google analytics and you know what's
29:08funny is I still put it in the account
29:11setup portion
29:13but honestly yeah you don't you don't
29:16need it like so like back then I was
29:19still even like hesitant but I'm like
29:21yeah you don't need it you just need to
29:23strip down to the very bare minimum of
29:25what you need to get the result so
29:28yeah cuz that's what I found most things
29:30aren't actually needed right yeah I
29:33think I think me like you know what it
29:36this is just transparent like for that
29:37like I think it was because like there
29:39there's going to be people out there
29:40that hear that that are like you know I
29:42don't know whatever you consider them
29:43media buyers or whatever and they're
29:44going to say like oh you need Google
29:45analytics man like without Google
29:47analytics it's like well not really I
29:49mean we spend about $2 million a month
29:51on YouTube ads right now for just a
29:52handful of clients and we've never
29:54really used Google analytics looked it
29:57no it's like yeah I mean you don't need
30:00it you don't need it so no that's what
30:03happened to me I mean I had Google
30:05analytics installed for most of the
30:07years of my business life and I never
30:10looked at it and when I did I was more
30:13confused yeah you just you can just go
30:15down a rabbit hole of like what am I
30:17what am I even doing I was like what
30:18there's so much stuff in here yeah and
30:20do and you might start thinking about
30:23something else and you're like why am I
30:24even thinking about this it's like you
30:28know I learned you should wait until you
30:30have a problem and then figure out what
30:33information you need to like solve it
30:35and then go looking for the metric you
30:37don't start with all of the metric cuz
30:40then it just gives you all of these
30:42potential problems that aren't problems
30:44and then you just do you know what I'm
30:46getting at yeah yeah yeah plus it makes
30:49your page load slower Yeah the more code
30:52Snippets just makes everything slow
30:54which is the worst thing to co
30:55conversions anyways but it's you know
30:57it's always the things that people swear
30:59that you need that cuz Google analytics
31:02would have got to the point that
31:03everyone installed it on everything by
31:05default without thinking yes that's
31:07literally what happened everyone just
31:09did it and I realized that I was like
31:11wow I just put it on because I thought I
31:14had to do it because it just but I never
31:16even thought about it it became that
31:19popular right yeah and those are often
31:22the things that no
31:23one thinks to
31:25remove like do you have a Tesla
31:28no you don't no it's very interesting
31:30when you get one it's an amazing product
31:33to buy by the
31:34way because you know I always think if
31:37you want to make good products you've
31:39got to use good products the same way if
31:43you can't make good music if you don't
31:44listen to good music right yeah or you
31:46can't make good art if you don't look at
31:49good art it's like one of those input
31:51output kind of things right so like I'm
31:53always trying to use the best products
31:55and the Tesla car
31:58it's some the first experience you have
32:00with it is oh my god did they really
32:02just not have that the whole part's just
32:05not even there really yeah well there's
32:07barely any switches or buttons in the
32:09whole car it's all Consolidated onto
32:11that screen on the dashboard right yeah
32:13onto that screen because that way they
32:15can use like pixels UI instead of
32:19putting in a physical switch wow and
32:22you're like is this is every setting for
32:24the entire car really on there and you
32:26realize it really is wow and then
32:30there's just so many things that have
32:31been completely removed from the car um
32:36that it's it's
32:38like it's a new paradigm really when you
32:41when you use it and you're like oh my
32:42God that's smart or like you're driving
32:44it and the lights go on high beam and
32:47you're like where is the light switch it
32:49just does it on well there is no light
32:51button so the the lights just turn on
32:53when it's dark and they just turn off
32:55when it's um when it's daylight and then
32:58they go on high beam when there's no car
33:00and then when it sees another light
33:02another car coming it dips and then it
33:04puts them back up and you're like it's
33:06just doing all of that without you even
33:07thinking and there is no controls for
33:10that cuz the computer's like you don't
33:12need
33:13that it's really it's really interesting
33:16to use it and it it and then the iPhone
33:19did that as well right yeah like there's
33:21no buttons on it yeah it's just the
33:25screen yeah and they've kept removing
33:28pieces from it over time right and the
33:30UI too
33:33and MacBook Pro did it like they
33:36stripped the CD drive and that was
33:38controversial when they did it you
33:40remember that when they had D yeah even
33:43with this MacBook I was like where's the
33:45port for this and this other thing but
33:48it's just the well interestingly enough
33:49on the latest one they bought some stuff
33:51back yeah so like HDMI and stuff but my
33:55point I'm getting at here is like a lot
33:57of innovation comes from
34:00removing yeah so when you when we were
34:02doing the training I was like what can
34:03you cut from
34:05this and
34:07then you know that cuz that's kind of
34:10what I learned is the less Parts you
34:15have the better you can make the ones
34:17that you do have yeah CU you can always
34:20add stuff back if you need it but if you
34:22can get it constrained to the least
34:25amount and it works then that's yeah and
34:29we're seeing that which is sick what's
34:31funny about the Tesla example that you
34:32just said I think I just saw Elon Musk
34:34say something on Twitter the other day
34:36about how they just completed the first
34:38autopilot uh self-driving Tesla U I
34:41don't know if that they maybe announced
34:42that to the Tesla buyers did you hear
34:44about that I didn't hear about it but I
34:46mean I'm not like subscribed to anything
34:48so yeah so it's like I just see uh I
34:50just see the movie um iroot coming to
34:53life pretty soon like where they're just
34:55getting driven around by those super
34:56fast cars which is probably going to be
34:58Tesla soon cuz that's that's where it's
35:00going right it's like you're just going
35:01to be able to uh I mean people are
35:03already doing videos and stuff of there
35:04them playing iPhone games while they're
35:06Tesla just driving them to California or
35:08whatever from Arizona what's interesting
35:11is that is not why I wanted a Tesla at
35:13all yeah like not the self-driving yeah
35:16just because of the product and how and
35:17and and the the quality there was there
35:21was if
35:22I'm there's probably three criteria that
35:26I would use to find a car
35:28like performance cuz I like going fast
35:32it's just really fun yeah but the
35:35problem with performance usually is that
35:37you you trade off safety so like you
35:40know a fast car like a Ferrari or a
35:42Porsche or something it's generally real
35:44small and if you get and La is really
35:47dangerous and everyone drives SUVs here
35:50they're texting they're probably stoned
35:51right so like yeah so like I'm not going
35:54to drive something like that because you
35:57could die right yeah and it's not that
35:59comfortable either like they don't seem
36:01that comfortable yeah and it's kind of
36:03showy right yeah you're going to get
36:05yeah you're going to always have look at
36:07me I'm rich you have to be worried about
36:08it too and yeah where you park and stuff
36:11but what blew my mind about the Tesla
36:13was faster than the fastest like Ferrari
36:16M but it was the safest car in the world
36:20at the same time wow and it was four
36:22doors and it had more like trunk space
36:26so it had it was just pure very usable
36:29very safe and extremely fast and it
36:32looked good yeah and it was a decent
36:34price and I was like it won actually the
36:37award for like the best car the model S
36:41won the best car of all time damn all
36:44time yeah what was like the uh the who
36:48who gave out that award like um one of
36:52those it must be a magazine or a show
36:55it's like Auto something it's like the
36:58one that gives those it's pretty respect
37:01the best car of all time it really is if
37:05you're like purely
37:06like or at least the best car since Like
37:10the Model T Ford right cuz if you look
37:12at Innovation I mean typically people
37:16win on one vector like how do we make
37:19the fastest car in the world and you get
37:21someone making something ridiculous like
37:22the buetti veyon yeah right but now it's
37:25$3 million and now it's not
37:28practical and now it's
37:32dangerous so to win on multiple vectors
37:35at once that means that you've changed
37:37the Paradigm completely right so how do
37:41you make a car the safest and the and
37:44faster than the fastest and
37:46affordable and usable it means that you
37:49can't do it using any of the old ways
37:51you can't just put crazy engines in it
37:53and remove all the seats and yeah so
37:56like the amount of engineering work they
37:58had to do like you know it doesn't have
38:00a gear box for example it's just one
38:04speed like one gear really yeah oh wow
38:08you know how that you know how gears
38:09work and yeah so because of because the
38:12electric motor can go up to something
38:14like 20,000
38:17RPM it it doesn't need cuz you know a a
38:21piston driven engine can only go up to
38:24say like 6,000 RPM or something
38:27that means that it has to change up
38:29gears to be able to go faster and faster
38:32and faster right yeah whereas the
38:34electronic the electric engine can just
38:36take it the whole way there with one
38:38gear so it means it doesn't need a
38:40gearbox damn yeah and so like there's
38:45all of these interesting things about it
38:49um and it's it's just like really I
38:51don't know if you like engineering or
38:54products yeah it's really
38:57quite a it is like the iPhone but with a
39:01car if you think about what the iPhone
39:03did for phones that's really what the
39:05Tesla did to cars and now everyone is
39:08forced to follow them yeah yeah and like
39:12I mean I think
39:13eventually it's probably going to not
39:16maybe in the next five years but it's
39:17like I think eventually the Tesla will
39:20at least if not I think it has it's
39:21honestly going to be the Tesla will
39:23become the standard car that you like
39:24almost have to drive for safety reasons
39:26too um it's almost going to be more
39:29dangerous to drive on your own versus
39:32like a Tesla I think but what's funny
39:34about the iPhone example too is uh did
39:37you we keep talking about Elon Musk and
39:39stuff but uh he's he's thinking about
39:42well there's rumors that he's thinking
39:44about doing a whole new phone to compete
39:46with apple oh really because of the the
39:48um the they stopped advertising on
39:51Twitter Apple did because of the whole
39:53like politic dude he's going to choose
39:54too many BOS you think so yeah well I
39:57mean you know there's a limit yeah he
40:00does keep pushing it though so it's hard
40:02to doubt him but I mean you know how
40:05many fronts can you compare you got the
40:06SpaceX right Tesla now you got Twitter
40:10there's neuralink there's those tunnels
40:12that he's apparently building wow yeah
40:14yeah those all get lost in the sauce and
40:16now there's Twitter which seems to be
40:18taking up a lot of his time yeah that's
40:19taking up the majority now iPhone
40:22iPhone's on version 14
40:25man they R&D Department probably on
40:27version
40:2920 yeah no they have yeah
40:34there's that's
40:37yeah yeah I I I literally just thinking
40:40about that and saying it out loud I just
40:42can't I would have never thought about
40:44anyone competing with the iPhone or even
40:46buying another phone like that thought
40:48never considered in my head because this
40:50is theault now you know like we were
40:52talking about earlier this is like
40:53default like I just can't think of any
40:55other phone MacBook same thing it's just
40:58Apple yeah well if someone does beat it
41:00it will be a different like Paradigm
41:03right just like what they did cuz
41:04Blackberry was the the one before that
41:07right yep yeah Blackberry was the one
41:10that everyone was hyped about and it was
41:11fascinating how they bit Blackberry
41:13because black blackberry's application
41:15developers were all inhouse I think they
41:18had about 10,000 employees that were
41:20just building apps for Blackberry wow
41:23but Apple like said to all app
41:27developers in the world you can build
41:29for this so like they had something like
41:3110 million developers so it was like
41:3410,000 ver 10 million and it was the
41:36richness of all of the apps that were
41:39available that made the utility of the
41:42iPhone so and jux deposed compared to
41:45the the Blackberry that yeah that's
41:48another like I love like studying those
41:51those big revolutionary products so like
41:56what the internet did or like what the
41:59computer did or what the first the
42:02iPhone did um and then what the Tesla
42:07did because all of those are like the
42:09products you know what I mean the ones
42:11that set the tone the one that change
42:13the trends of the world and the culture
42:15yeah well Google's another one I mean
42:17social media you could say is another
42:18one yeah like Myspace was and then
42:21Facebook just took
42:25over yeah yeah there's only so many of
42:28those ones those like products so that's
42:30why I like to kind of study them and
42:35yeah but what have you been working on
42:38yeah so we uh we actually just launched
42:40our our Mastermind for agency owners
42:42media buyers and Freelancers to teach
42:44them how to scale with YouTube ads um
42:46the reason why is because there's just
42:48so many people that always apply to work
42:49with us as our agency to to get us to
42:52run their ads for them um but we we
42:55we're more of a boutique style agency
42:56now where like we take on a certain
42:59amount of clients at a time we also
43:01charge a high retainer plus percentage
43:03of net profit to make it fair for the
43:05client um and to keep us incentivized to
43:07scale right so as opposed to getting 100
43:10clients 200 clients right like most
43:12agencies end up doing which isn't bad
43:13but I've always wanted what's I've
43:17always wanted to to work closely with
43:18the client because I believe in the
43:20mission that they're doing which is why
43:21I work with them in the first place and
43:23then help them scale but the only way to
43:24do that is if I work with less clients
43:26and have a percentage of The Upside too
43:28so we do net profit but anyways I say
43:30all that to say that we have a lot of
43:31people that apply to work with us and
43:34they're it they never they always want
43:37done for you they want someone to help
43:39them run the ads because they don't want
43:40to do it they don't want to learn it um
43:42most of the time right there's all these
43:44people that want to learn it too but the
43:46reason why we launched this Mastermind
43:47is because there's just such an
43:49opportunity to teach what we do to a lot
43:52of other agency owners Freelancers and
43:55media buyers who want learn that skill
43:58which is YouTube ads which is quickly
44:00taking over Facebook like we already
44:02talked about so that we can then you
44:04know refer them to business owners that
44:07aren't a good fit for us or just simply
44:09we can't help um so my team and I have
44:11been working on that and uh that's been
44:14fun we just finished the beta finishes
44:16this week actually uh and then next week
44:18is when the second wave comes through
44:20and uh is this like front end Mastermind
44:23or back end with front end okay so no in
44:25person uh no in person no got it but
44:27annual price uh it's yeah yeah yeah 9800
44:30for the year yeah nice and it's for who
44:34business owners or agency owners
44:36Freelancers and media
44:38buyers and it teaches them how to to run
44:42YouTube ads profitably and then charge
44:44business owners to be able to sell it as
44:45a service got it and then you're helping
44:48place them with businesses that want
44:51them out we refer them out yeah what's
44:53interesting though is and I
44:54think it I've I've talked to my about
44:57this too I feel like we've almost
44:58created a hybrid of a back end and a
45:00front end because if you think about it
45:03I think where I might have rushed things
45:05a little bit is where I was like okay
45:08because the admin Mastermind like I've
45:10gotten so many compliments on The
45:11Branding and the marketing behind it but
45:13what I think we might end up doing in
45:15the future is it's I think it really is
45:18like sort of a hybrid between a front
45:19end and a m and a backend
45:22because I think for a front end
45:25Mastermind what would have been a better
45:27Mastermind would have been teaching the
45:31um you know like the beginner how to be
45:33a YouTube ads media buyer right but what
45:36we've done is we've gone after the lower
45:38hanging fruit that we know we can help
45:40immediately is people that have already
45:42have the experience and said some
45:44experience at least right they're not
45:46total beginners they have some they're
45:47at least making 5K a month right and
45:49then we say we're going to teach you how
45:50to charge this price and we're going to
45:52teach you how to run this skill and then
45:54we're going to teach you how to get
45:54clients like we do and then we're going
45:56to help you SC to this amount right so
45:58it's like not necessarily a total
46:00beginner front in like how to go from 0
46:02to one it's more like 1 to 10 but I'm
46:06sharing that because it's like I think
46:08about it too it's like maybe we should
46:10have done the media how to become a
46:11YouTube ass media buyer as a mastermind
46:13first and then how to go from immediate
46:15buyer to an agency owner as the back end
46:17you know there's always room for like
46:20back end you know
46:23like
46:25you you think right now that you might
46:27have done it but you could there will be
46:30another level for sure like I could
46:32create a backend Mastermind off of
46:34quantum which is already a back in
46:35master M right you can probably see how
46:38that would work there's like a certain
46:39number of people in there that are at a
46:42really high level right that would
46:44probably buy it so like but I don't want
46:47to have another product yeah so like
46:49there's always more levels well that's
46:51that's where we're at now so it's funny
46:54man because the biggest bottleneck that
46:56I think we have right now and this is
46:57more my fault than anything is uh is the
47:00focus like the focus is a huge thing so
47:04it's funny because ever since we
47:05launched this this Mastermind and we
47:07love dude I love I love helping the
47:09clients that are inside of it we've just
47:11had an influx of amazing clients for the
47:13agency that all want to pay us they're
47:16happy with the price they want us to to
47:19to help them scale their business and
47:21we're making money you know with the
47:24agency where it's like this is a big
47:25opportunity right now if we just double
47:27down on the clients we have and help
47:29them with not just generating the leads
47:31but obviously improving our service
47:33where it's and client experience where
47:35it's okay now we're going to help now we
47:37have to help level them up uh and us
47:39have to level up by helping them with
47:41you know obviously not just the ads
47:42because that's just one thing but the
47:44nurturing process of the leads we're
47:45driving because most of these Mo I mean
47:48you at the last Mastermind you heard
47:49Cole Gordon talk about the appointment
47:50heads and everything right like most of
47:52the clients they don't really have that
47:53sales process and team structure and
47:55management down so I'm taking what I'm
47:58learning from Cole and applying it to
47:59their businesses now and helping them
48:01because if the leads don't close that we
48:03drive it you know they're not going to
48:05continue paying us because it doesn't
48:06matter how much traffic we drive if the
48:08leads aren't converting to calls the
48:10calls aren't
48:11closing what you're doing what every
48:14agency owner and consultant ends up
48:16doing which is you know you think you do
48:18one thing but then you realize that the
48:21customer never just wants ads they want
48:25profit yeah and that means and they're
48:27doing all of these other things poorly
48:28so you have to end up right essentially
48:31becoming a growth partner for them right
48:32like we don't basically owning the
48:35business like yeah becoming a partner
48:37right becoming something and I think
48:39that that's where I'm I'm that's what's
48:42funny when you ask me like what I'm
48:43working on right now it's like juggling
48:44the two and then on we top that I have
48:47we tube too right so it's like but the
48:50those are all it's a great position to
48:53be in as well because it's really giving
48:55me experience about like okay
48:57how can I uh how can I strip away some
49:01things that maybe like we're talking
49:03about earlier aren't as necessary um and
49:05focus on the things that are because
49:08I've always loved I really have loved
49:11the agency for the simple fact of being
49:14able to work with clients and really get
49:16their business to scale but the problem
49:17was when it doesn't work it's a it's a
49:19pain in the ass man because it doesn't
49:21work but it's not because you don't do
49:23your job it's because of these things
49:24we're talking about now the lead
49:26nurturing it's funny I was on the way
49:28here the Wi-Fi didn't work on the plane
49:30so I was just totally just uh like in in
49:32a meditative state but I what I do on
49:34the plane is I go through my phone my
49:37pictures I just scroll through pictures
49:38and I just look at like pictures and I
49:40get a lot of ideas of insights and I saw
49:43a text message that I had with Frank
49:44Kern about a year ago this was when
49:46Frank and I were texting because he had
49:48his um R as.org
49:50agency he was doing leg gen uh and we
49:54were talking back and forth and he was
49:57like no I'm switching I'm switching to
49:59Le and I'm doing uh email marketing now
50:01cuz the money's in the followup anyways
50:03he's like most of the time 99% of the
50:05way to get clients results that are an
50:07agency are fixing the follow-up process
50:09and I was like interesting and I looked
50:11at that this on the way here and I was
50:13like this is what we've been missing
50:15from the agency and this is how we
50:17Ascend to helping our clients make
50:19instead of just getting paid x amount we
50:22can make this amount like almost three
50:23to five times more with one client if we
50:25just fix these other issues
50:27so anyways I say all that to say that uh
50:29it's fun because it's allowing me to
50:31deploy everything I've learned from
50:33masterminds and programs into the
50:35client's businesses if they don't have
50:37it already like almost like a consultant
50:40but with that
50:42um you know it's just like the guy who
50:45chases two rabbits catches none right so
50:48what what caused the surge in the agency
50:52what caused the surge in the agency
50:53that's a good question I think I think
50:55it was the compound effect of everything
50:58that's H all the momentum we've had as a
51:01I've personally had as a brand as well I
51:03mean obviously the wi partnership with
51:05you really helped um just to get the
51:07exposure of adsp spin.com even more than
51:09what it what what already was but it was
51:11also the shift of the offer that we had
51:13before our offer was typical you know
51:17we'll help you scale your utbe ads it'll
51:18be flat fee and you know there there's
51:21no guarantee there's no like determined
51:22result it was just like a service but
51:25what we've stumbled upon after just
51:27Consulting with a few other people too
51:29was like we we actually have a
51:31no-brainer offer now where you know we
51:33we take so our pricing is high high fee
51:38right High retainer fee but we don't
51:40charge you the fee unless we make back
51:41the ad spend plus our fee in the 30-day
51:44window so there's no risk to you
51:46necessarily there's a lot less risk
51:47right on top of that we don't take a
51:49percentage of net profit and net profit
51:51is defined as Revenue that we help you
51:53generate specifically from our campaigns
51:55nothing else right so is all trackable
51:57by hyos so all the campaigns that we set
51:59up for your business with ads they're
52:02trackable on hyros so it's ads spin.com
52:04named all that Revenue gets minused by
52:07the ad spend that you put up as the
52:08client and then you minus the sales
52:10team's commissions because you got to
52:12have sales people to close the deals and
52:13then you minus our fee that's net profit
52:17but we don't take net profit until we
52:18make you at least 100 Grand in net
52:20profit so you can see how we're really
52:21incentivized to number one work with
52:23clients that are ready to scale and
52:25number two we want to work with clients
52:27that we can scale and make a lot of
52:29money so that they have no problem
52:31paying us you know that 10K plus the 10%
52:34so we make it a no does that make sense
52:36yeah so it's it's it's really fair for
52:39the client which makes it fair literally
52:43I'm clo I mean when we get on a client
52:45call with this offer it's it's like it's
52:48a 90% close rate so we have to be picky
52:50about who we work with now which is why
52:52we have a weight list and we only work
52:54with clients that are like you know in
52:56quantum like CO's Mastermind and clients
52:58that are really ready to
52:59scale yeah you can really I mean you
53:01should just choose how many clients do
53:03you want 10 that's what you want yeah 10
53:05clients and and we want to make an
53:07average of you know uh right now it's
53:10like the goal is to get everybody from
53:11to make an average of 30k a month per
53:13client which means we have to add all
53:15these different things into there uh to
53:17give them for resources right and then
53:20we have the Mastermind like that's
53:21that's my end goal right agency still
53:23and we take we take everything we're
53:24we're doing for our clients and learning
53:26for our clients and we share it with the
53:29Mastermind but I'm at a point now where
53:31I have agency uh admin Mastermind and
53:35then weu but I'm like
53:38man yeah like how do we simplify it so I
53:41just have uh the I think the biggest
53:44thing that I'm because like thinking
53:45about adding a a front end and then
53:47adding a back end is just too much right
53:48now oh yeah yeah so it's like making the
53:51Mastermind sweet enough to where we just
53:53take everything from the agency and we
53:55share it with the Mastermind
53:57and uh and I really just want to have
53:58those two things cuz that's that's
54:00doable and that's fun for me because
54:02then I get to teach here and not just
54:06do well that it sounds like it's already
54:10solved yeah what's the problem I guess
54:13the problem is is
54:17um what's interesting the the problem is
54:20the the it's always the thought of like
54:24well so there's people that come to work
54:27with us and they're not ready for our
54:30done for you right they're not ready for
54:31our agency but they want to learn how to
54:33run YouTube ads on their own still but
54:35like we don't I push them the wi tube or
54:38we don't sell them anymore so it's like
54:41do we just teach agency owners media
54:42buyers and Freelancers what if we had in
54:45school in the classroom section instead
54:47of just the week one week two week three
54:49week four week five you know content
54:52what if we had a section just for
54:54YouTube ads and then what if we had a
54:56module just for agency owners on how to
54:59get clients and sell it as a service and
55:01then what if we had a section for uh
55:04coaches course creators and consultants
55:06and on on vssl funnels and and low
55:08ticket info
55:10products then it kind of that's IDE I've
55:13been idea I've been playing with because
55:14it's like we could kind of service both
55:18but then it creates the issue of the two
55:20different types of avatars you have the
55:22coaches consultants and course creators
55:24and then you have the agency owners
55:27does that work I mean I've seen it work
55:30in other masterminds well aren't you
55:32didn't you join Quantum as an agency
55:34owner
55:35yeah yeah yeah I mean that's kind of the
55:38progression path right like you're like
55:44student like
55:46freelancer agency yeah you max out y
55:50everyone wants to learn from you but you
55:52can't work with them course High ticket
55:56Mastermind right yeah um it's natural
56:01and so there's always going to be a
56:02blend I'm pretty sure in Quantum there's
56:03still some agency owners yeah yeah um
56:07Nico I know he's in there there a lot of
56:09other people so I think they mix quite
56:12well yeah I guess I mean I used to have
56:14an agency for example yeah yeah yeah
56:17like a lot of the info people probably
56:19had agencies or or they were Freelancers
56:22so like they're totally going to be cool
56:25with that person being there you know
56:28that's in the simplest way that's how I
56:30want it structured because thinking
56:32about having another thing just doesn't
56:34it's just not going to make sense like I
56:37want the the opportunity with the agen
56:39like I I've the agency I've always told
56:41my team this too like cuz dude it's
56:43funny like everybody thinks The Grass Is
56:45Always Green on the other side right
56:46like the and and to some to some extent
56:49it can be but I've always seen the
56:52agency as one of the
56:55uh best best business models to start
56:57with just like obviously why you started
56:59with too because it provides the cash
57:01flow but also you get to learn by doing
57:04and mastering and getting the results
57:07and then I've saw the next Ascension as
57:08the education so in an Ideal World right
57:12we have the Mastermind the admin
57:14Mastermind for anyone who's running and
57:15wants to scale with ads and it's we're
57:18teaching everything we're doing for our
57:19clients which won't just be um YouTube
57:23ads because as ads spin.com is not a
57:25YouTube B agency it has been to get us
57:28off the ground but aspen.com is going to
57:30be essentially like the next digital
57:31marketer like you know digital marketer
57:33they have they're an education company
57:35but they have certification programs
57:37right but we're going to be an agency
57:39and and an education company but just
57:41with the agency boutique style less
57:43clients capit lean team High profit
57:46margins uh also High Touch where they
57:49get to uh still have my time and
57:51attention and then I have the Mastermind
57:53where we get to have fun and share and
57:55community
57:56and and and really create the marketing
57:58content
57:59so yeah it's just it's just playing
58:02chess with all the pieces we have right
58:03now because we still have our our
58:06coaching program that we tried to do
58:08when we first joined Quantum and we have
58:10like about 40 people in there but I just
58:12want to combine them oh yeah I that's
58:14what you got to start doing
58:15consolidating yeah and deleting
58:18literally I literally just want to in my
58:20head I'm like we just got to combine
58:22them guys and everybody gets in one
58:25school group we have two calls a week
58:26the classroom gets broken out into
58:28modules for the specific types of people
58:30and then and then we have and then
58:33that's
58:34it yeah so that's what we're doing yeah
58:39now that's what that's the fun part I
58:42think like you know in the beginning
58:44like nothing works and it's it's
58:48quite you know you you're just trying to
58:52find something that works right but you
58:53get to a point where to many things work
58:57yeah and you don't have any time yep and
59:00there's even a million other things you
59:02could do that would also work right so
59:06like then it just becomes a game of like
59:09it's a totally different game then it's
59:11it's like you there is an optim there
59:14are optimal moves to make that will get
59:16you further but they
59:18require not doing things yeah yeah so
59:22let me ask you this right because one
59:24thing I literally had a call call with
59:25my team on Monday of this week and have
59:30you ever taken the 16 personalities test
59:32the Myers Briggs one yeah of course um
59:36so I'm I'm a they I took the test I've
59:39taken it four times now actually I
59:40wonder if I can guess what you are take
59:42a
59:45guess it's probably obvious with what I
59:47just
59:48shared a
59:50in yeah if yeah NFP yeah yeah okay
59:57campaigner so it's funny because when I
1:00:00read it again literally this weekend it
1:00:03was just so spoton but the question I
1:00:05want to ask you is be like how how how
1:00:07much do you pay attention to that and
1:00:09then number two the things that they say
1:00:12you're weak on right in that personality
1:00:14test do you you have what's your take on
1:00:18improving those or simply focusing more
1:00:21on the strengths so for example for
1:00:23context right campaigners enfps uh like
1:00:27super uh you know I don't know what the
1:00:30super my strengths are I really get
1:00:34inspired and I really just I I do
1:00:35Sprints right when I get inspired on
1:00:37something and I get an idea I want to
1:00:38make it happen now I go do it like the
1:00:40admin Master man I had the idea had The
1:00:42Branding had the concept I was like oh
1:00:43we're going to do it and we launched it
1:00:44and it was a success but the problem is
1:00:47the focus on the follow through once the
1:00:49inspiration wears off a little bit right
1:00:52and that's something that I've seen
1:00:53happen in my life plenty of times with
1:00:56ideas and then I act on them and then I
1:00:58don't follow them through uh as long as
1:01:01I saw for as long as I need to for the
1:01:03for the end goal of the vision if that
1:01:05makes sense but then my strengths are
1:01:07really good I can come up with ideas I'm
1:01:09really creative I have the the personal
1:01:12uh brand I guess in terms of like the
1:01:14communication and being a leader and and
1:01:16saying guys we're going to come do this
1:01:18come join me I'm going to I'm like let's
1:01:19go do this um so my question really is
1:01:22like for you have you ever like paid
1:01:24attention to those to where you're
1:01:25thinking like
1:01:26well I got to work on these weaknesses
1:01:28or are you more of like let me just have
1:01:30someone who can help me with these
1:01:31weakness focus on these weaknesses so I
1:01:33can just focus on my strengths does that
1:01:35make sense it makes sense um so you
1:01:38definitely need to be aware of them yeah
1:01:40and your business and your strategy and
1:01:43everything that you're doing should be
1:01:44aligned to your strengths right just
1:01:48like me I'm an
1:01:49inj which is the is that so your
1:01:52extrovert so the eii is so int introvert
1:01:56oh so e and okay yeah and then n and s
1:01:59means like Intuition or like rules so
1:02:04you're more you're the intuition same
1:02:06with me so we're the same on that we're
1:02:07opposite on the E I then the um f and T
1:02:14is feeling and thinking do you feel your
1:02:17way through choices or do you think so
1:02:20I'm hard jammed on T I'm like 98% T I
1:02:23could tell you were an F really yeah
1:02:26I can just tell um
1:02:29and then the last one J or p is like do
1:02:33you are you good at planning and
1:02:35structuring and scheduling
1:02:39and and organizing or do you prefer to
1:02:41just kind of just let it go so you're a
1:02:45p that means you prefer to let it go
1:02:47yeah so you're just like you probably
1:02:48would like to not have a plan for next
1:02:51week yeah well that's the funny part man
1:02:54because I always always I always want to
1:02:57structure things because I feel like
1:02:59some things aren't structured as much as
1:03:01they need to be for my life but then
1:03:03when they're too structured or too
1:03:04routine I just want to go to the
1:03:06beach and like dude I just need to get
1:03:07out and like go go go get into my gut
1:03:09and go feel yeah so you you should play
1:03:11the your strengths which would be like
1:03:14interaction with people that's extra
1:03:16version you need to have interaction
1:03:17with people you're never going to be
1:03:19happy just analyzing a Google sheet
1:03:20right yeah you need to be creative
1:03:23that's the end yep you need to um
1:03:27feeling is important to you which is
1:03:28probably why you like video yeah cuz it
1:03:30is a very high bandwidth channel of
1:03:34communication that carries emotion
1:03:37unlike a lot of text and stuff it's it
1:03:39is about emotion yeah and
1:03:42then the the thing I think you'd have to
1:03:45worry about them you just worry about
1:03:47the opposite side so we almost have like
1:03:50opposite sides but like someone that is
1:03:54too extroverted probably isn't paying
1:03:56attention to the details yeah but
1:03:58someone that's too introverted probably
1:03:59isn't getting out there enough right and
1:04:02then intuition someone that's too like s
1:04:05means they're probably not creative
1:04:06enough too creative means that
1:04:10operations are probably yeah falling
1:04:12apart right cuz things are just constant
1:04:14creation then there's just that
1:04:16needs to be done day in day out that the
1:04:18the creative person was terrible at yeah
1:04:21feeling and thinking I mean thinking is
1:04:23really great at logic and structure and
1:04:26math and all of that and strategy but
1:04:29too much of that and people don't
1:04:30connect with what you're doing yeah so
1:04:33too much T and
1:04:35like it's soulless kind of in a way too
1:04:38much effort it's often lacking some of
1:04:40that logic or thought you know what I
1:04:42mean and then the last one just PJ it's
1:04:45more
1:04:46like you know I've I used to actually
1:04:50get a p and then The more I've been in
1:04:53business and I'm like a so I have to
1:04:56schedule and plan and do all of this
1:04:58I've had to train that muscle and in
1:05:01recent years I actually check it again
1:05:03and it's it's coming up J wow so I would
1:05:07just understand that first and then look
1:05:09at your business and think where where
1:05:12are my like where is my
1:05:15personality blocking us right mhm and
1:05:19you you should also play your strengths
1:05:20I'm never going to be a stage speaker
1:05:23because I'm introverted right like that
1:05:26ain't happening but you're also going
1:05:28out and and doing more like inperson
1:05:30stuff right for school so you're you're
1:05:32also training it right now in a way
1:05:34right to get out of your comfort Z the
1:05:36hard part right so like I'm playing to
1:05:39my strengths because I'm building a
1:05:41software platform which is what I'm it's
1:05:44behind the scenes and analytical and
1:05:47everything right
1:05:48mhm however I also need to be aware of
1:05:53the fact that I would like to just hide
1:05:55m but I need to get out there too people
1:05:57need to find out about school so I have
1:05:59to also get outside of my comfort zone
1:06:01so that's what I'm getting at here your
1:06:03business should play to your strengths
1:06:05but you have to be mindful
1:06:08of you can't just purely play to your
1:06:10strengths you also have to like cover
1:06:12your weaknesses yeah and you should also
1:06:16bring in people around you to cover
1:06:18those areas yeah what's funny is um one
1:06:21of my first hires uh is is Nick uh Nick
1:06:24Rondo he he's I actually him in college
1:06:26and he's literally the I I um he's um
1:06:31Commander it's it's the i group I forget
1:06:33what his exactly is but he's very uh
1:06:37much involved in the oper like he's
1:06:40liter the operations now for he he has
1:06:42pretty much always been operations but
1:06:44uh like recently after doing that test
1:06:46again this weekend I'm like it finally
1:06:49clicked I was like dude Brian you cannot
1:06:51be trying to be the operations as much
1:06:55as you would you need to have the ideas
1:06:56of how to improve the operations give
1:06:58those to Nick and Nick's in charge of
1:07:00seeing those projects through to improve
1:07:01the operations so it's funny because it
1:07:03took me almost two and a half years to
1:07:05get to this point to finally have that
1:07:06realization but he's always been that
1:07:08he's always been the one to do the
1:07:09spreadsheets and and the and like the
1:07:11you know management of GC basically
1:07:14literally yeah but but it finally
1:07:15clicked this weekend where I'm like no
1:07:17that's Nick like Nick it's like you do
1:07:20this Brian and Nick does this and what I
1:07:23think that I need to improve on per for
1:07:25what you just said too is like what what
1:07:28Nick and I uh sometimes uh like discuss
1:07:32and have different opinions on is like
1:07:35certain elements of the the service when
1:07:38it comes to the client experience or the
1:07:40product and I think about it because I'm
1:07:43I'm the creative and I have the vision
1:07:45and I and like the things that sometimes
1:07:46we suggest are different from one
1:07:48another because it's operations versus
1:07:50marketing and then fulfillment right um
1:07:53anyways I say all that to say that
1:07:56uh I've what I think I need to work
1:07:59better on like you're doing is the P
1:08:02aspect when it comes to the strategic
1:08:04planning because I've sort of honestly
1:08:08adopted that from you with the war map
1:08:10once I remember when I had that when I
1:08:12was on The Daily huddle with you and I
1:08:14was like and I shut
1:08:17you we were on the daily huddle for the
1:08:20weed tube call it was me you Jesse Hower
1:08:22David Dre and uh you got on and then we
1:08:25were talking about the remarkable I was
1:08:27asking like have you guys ever uh used
1:08:29the remarkable and we watched the vssl
1:08:31together we all they're like damn that
1:08:33looks pretty sick dude and I was like
1:08:34yeah I'm gonna get it dude and then uh
1:08:36you're like yeah it's just why and I was
1:08:40like well I think it'd be pretty cool I
1:08:41could put my schedule in there I can
1:08:43have all this and you're like yeah but
1:08:46why and I was like I mean I don't know
1:08:48he's like dude I just you're like I just
1:08:50use the war map and then my notepad and
1:08:53I'm like really you're like yeah I
1:08:55literally just just plan everything here
1:08:56and then I write down what I got to do
1:08:57on my notepad and but I live on the war
1:08:59map I was like oh and then I I didn't
1:09:03buy it and then ever since then I've
1:09:04been using the war map but it's so
1:09:07crucial for for planning things cuz I
1:09:09mapped out the whole launch of admin I
1:09:11mapped out the whole promo like you did
1:09:13for we and I was like dude we need to do
1:09:15this we need to have an adp.com War map
1:09:17a company calendar War map and so
1:09:20anyways I say that to say that I think
1:09:22that that's one thing I should work on
1:09:25as an ENFP is leaning more into training
1:09:28that that strategic planning
1:09:31muscle yes especially if you're going to
1:09:33be the CEO yeah cuz you just have to be
1:09:35like you have to think ahead cuz
1:09:37everyone relies on you to do that that's
1:09:40like your job right you have to know
1:09:42yeah and the more the better I've gotten
1:09:44and The more I've
1:09:46been like the more intricate my
1:09:50organization that I'm building the
1:09:52further out I have to think and plan and
1:09:55it's hard to like I was telling you the
1:09:56R&D department for the iPhone is
1:09:59probably three four versions ahead right
1:10:01yeah they would have probably already
1:10:03prototyped and their testing the next
1:10:06iPhone like that's how can you imag do
1:10:09you know how like they've probably
1:10:10sourcing the raw materials they're
1:10:12probably negotiating different like mine
1:10:15deposits in the Congo for like for
1:10:19different raw medals that are necessary
1:10:22for the three iPhones ahead right like
1:10:25you just just can't have a massive
1:10:26operation without a lot of like thinking
1:10:29into the future and planning and
1:10:31organizing because you just don't make
1:10:34things like the iPhone or the Tesla just
1:10:36winging it like what are we doing
1:10:37tomorrow I don't know
1:10:40like it just doesn't happen yeah so as
1:10:44the CEO you need to get good at that but
1:10:48yeah getting an operator 100% cuz you
1:10:51that person should get good at that yeah
1:10:53and then you should lean into your which
1:10:55is the creative expression which is like
1:10:58videos which is why you're getting into
1:11:00YouTube organic I guess and you're
1:11:02vlogging yeah I'm going to be vlogging
1:11:04the whole weekend at cool stuff this
1:11:05weekend and people love that man and
1:11:07that's what I love doing too it's like
1:11:09I'm out in my zone with everyone that
1:11:11I'm at friends with or I know and I'm
1:11:13I'm collaborating and I'm getting to
1:11:15meet but then I'm also creating a
1:11:17Content piece from it which is the best
1:11:18of both worlds that gets the best part
1:11:21about this for me with this Vlog style
1:11:24kind of value based content organic that
1:11:26I've done with with Quantum obviously
1:11:28that people love is I I'll always get to
1:11:31be able to look back at that when I'm
1:11:33older and go relive it which I think is
1:11:35the best part dude I watch your video of
1:11:37my
1:11:38event like the day after my event really
1:11:42yeah yeah yeah we uploaded it the next
1:11:43day and I was like this is pretty cool
1:11:45this looks pretty cool and it was my
1:11:47event I was there but it like captured a
1:11:50lot of the the vibe yeah yeah that's
1:11:54that you just
1:11:56people don't know what goes on in that
1:11:58room but like when I was watching it in
1:11:59that video I was like damn that looks
1:12:01pretty cool yeah I had a bunch of people
1:12:03reach out to me uh they they probably
1:12:06they were all saying like dude I want to
1:12:07join Quantum I want to join Quantum so
1:12:09it kind of It kind of kills two birds of
1:12:10one stone for for me and for the The
1:12:12Mastermind host in this case you right
1:12:14it was like they get to see what it's
1:12:16like to be a part of the Mastermind and
1:12:19they get to see the quality of people in
1:12:20the room and how much more of a I guess
1:12:23like a family almost is a community it
1:12:25is and they want to be a part of it cuz
1:12:27you're showing them the behind the
1:12:29scenes and you're good at that because
1:12:30of your extra version in your feeling
1:12:34yeah so you're picking up on the vibe
1:12:36which is like the part that I'm fully
1:12:40it's there but I miss it and I don't
1:12:42know how to translate it properly cuz my
1:12:43senses aren't as strong as yours on that
1:12:46area right so that's how you can pick up
1:12:49a different you can pick up more feeling
1:12:52yeah exactly that's what you do I I
1:12:54literally I'm I really can I can can
1:12:57really tell how someone's feeling and I
1:12:58I always try to um I just know how I
1:13:02think I'm really good at being able to
1:13:04like know when to uh I guess I don't
1:13:07know do certain things or say certain
1:13:08things or not do certain things or say
1:13:09certain things because I always have the
1:13:12person's feeling in mind how are they
1:13:14going to react to this and that's how
1:13:15I've been able to really do well with
1:13:17just being someone who's um I guess
1:13:20positioned himself well because I I
1:13:21really want to be someone that is adding
1:13:23value and just not being a to you know I
1:13:25don't know whatever but yeah being able
1:13:27to put the vibe into a video yeah that's
1:13:29that's your strength well you know
1:13:31what's funny was in in high school I
1:13:33used I used to make my own rap music I
1:13:35used to call myself B Money be money I
1:13:38was trying to think of a rap name and in
1:13:39my first you should still cool yourself
1:13:42it fits man like yeah B right for Brian
1:13:45and then m o is my last mon m o and I
1:13:48was like was what can I name myself be
1:13:51money but I share that because yeah I
1:13:54had like my own Studio in my my closet
1:13:56at my parents house I had my friends
1:13:57come over and record songs and I would
1:13:59audio engineer for them and uh and then
1:14:02we made like we made music videos and
1:14:04stuff like they're deep on YouTube if
1:14:06someone finds them that'd be it's it's
1:14:08the same thing it's expression of
1:14:09emotion and so now not music is and now
1:14:12I'm able to create my new style of music
1:14:15videos and and music through video with
1:14:19YouTube and what I'm doing in my normal
1:14:21life like I it's almost like every video
1:14:23for like the Vlog style that I did for
1:14:25for Quantum like that's what I really
1:14:29love creating because that's what
1:14:31creates the best content that I would
1:14:33want to personally watch as a viewer
1:14:35which is why this podcast just the same
1:14:36thing right like being able to to
1:14:39hear the insides of of the people that
1:14:43you that you watch or that you follow
1:14:46that's always the best content as a
1:14:48consumer for me so that's why it's
1:14:50natural for me to make that cuz I would
1:14:51want to see it and with the vibe too is
1:14:54I love that has that got you many
1:14:55clients yeah oh that's actually worked
1:14:58for you oh yeah oh nice yeah for the
1:15:00agency and the other thing yeah because
1:15:03they but it's also worked for for I mean
1:15:06I don't know but I would I would assume
1:15:08it worked for like I did one for another
1:15:09another Mastermind um uh Jeremy Haynes
1:15:12Jeremy Haynes he used to run ads for um
1:15:14Dan lock Grant Cardone and uh I did one
1:15:17for his Mastermind recently and that one
1:15:20got a a girl that I knew that was
1:15:22following me said I watched your video
1:15:23I've been following Jeremy for a while
1:15:25but that Mastermind video made me made
1:15:27me apply and finally join so I don't
1:15:29know how much that is working for
1:15:30Quantum if Jesse or Nick and I'm sure it
1:15:32has cuz I saw it and I was like this is
1:15:34cool like it's just you capture
1:15:38something that you know cuz I always
1:15:40talk about The Logical side of quantum
1:15:42I'm like yeah it'll teach you how to get
1:15:44these things these people are in here we
1:15:47cover these topics here's the results
1:15:49people have gotten but you know I'm not
1:15:51going to pick up all of the like what
1:15:53does it feel like to be here and what's
1:15:56the vibe and that's what you're good at
1:15:59picking up it also takes someone to like
1:16:03not yeah you got to be some for me it's
1:16:05like I just had to make a decision I was
1:16:06like look how can I approach YouTube to
1:16:08where it's fun for me like cuz like what
1:16:10you said in Quantum before it was like
1:16:12if you how can I make this fun right
1:16:14when you were approaching webe how can I
1:16:16make this fun and then you asked me to
1:16:17help you with the YouTube ads to make it
1:16:18more fun so you didn't have to have time
1:16:20doing it yourself for me it was like how
1:16:22can I make the YouTube content fun what
1:16:25do I want to create and then I was like
1:16:27I'm going to be at these Ma I'm going to
1:16:28be at the Mastermind anyways I'm going
1:16:29to be learning things anyways why don't
1:16:31I just document that package it up into
1:16:33a video that's valuable and sharing for
1:16:35other people and it's fun for me to
1:16:37create those are your best videos like
1:16:39by far really yeah my best video in the
1:16:41last in this whole year is that that
1:16:43Quantum video see that's what's missing
1:16:44from this industry I think there's so
1:16:46much missing detail like what are these
1:16:49things like and who are these people and
1:16:52what are they like cuz everyone's just
1:16:54in their own isolated Little World
1:16:57posturing as like that character with
1:17:00that one message like whatever that
1:17:03message is but it doesn't that'll it'll
1:17:06never go mainstream like that because
1:17:09most people don't just buy stuff on like
1:17:12a vsl or logic they want to like be a
1:17:16part of some like scene and some Vibe
1:17:20yeah right and that there is no scene
1:17:23and Vibe especially there is actually
1:17:26it's happening but it isn't communicated
1:17:28no one's capturing it yeah and
1:17:31everyone's being there like character
1:17:33instead of just yeah do you know what
1:17:35I'm saying yeah 100% because that's what
1:17:38I've always wanted to capture was this
1:17:41behind the scenes and be able to to
1:17:44share it I just never had a medium to do
1:17:46that but like I've you know even back
1:17:49when I was you know doing this before I
1:17:51was like I've always wanted to document
1:17:53that like you always hear Gary document
1:17:55to create and I do believe that that you
1:17:57should document along the journey so you
1:17:59can have a thing to look back on but
1:18:00also everyone can see your journey to
1:18:02where you you're going um yeah you just
1:18:06got to make the decision for me I was
1:18:07like I just got to make a decision to
1:18:08just pull out the camera and not care
1:18:09and I did and like is a little bit of
1:18:12friction at first but it's like once you
1:18:13just get going you get going and then
1:18:16and then you you just got to ask
1:18:17yourself how can I make it fun and
1:18:18people loved it like and next time
1:18:20everyone's like dude you should get me
1:18:21in it next time and I'm like yeah dude
1:18:23we got to get a a session in next time
1:18:25that's what I want this industry to do
1:18:27way more sharing way more collaborating
1:18:30way
1:18:30more fun yeah and that's why you know
1:18:33even at the start I was asking about
1:18:35like the scene in Miami or like the
1:18:38scene that I saw in um in Scottdale yeah
1:18:43because that's like another layer of it
1:18:47right like a physical friends that are
1:18:50in the same building or block or at
1:18:52least City yeah and then the community
1:18:55and then the overall industry and then
1:18:57the masterminds and you know yeah
1:19:00because it all fuels each other right
1:19:01like the more you're like for example
1:19:03right at the beginning of this year I
1:19:04had 500 followers on Twitter right but
1:19:07when I moved to
1:19:09Miami there was a huge so that's funny
1:19:12I'll share I'll share exactly what I did
1:19:14because I I've I've been on Twitter
1:19:16since 2010 right but I never used
1:19:19Twitter to build anything personal brand
1:19:21share anything that I was doing up until
1:19:23January of this year year and I and the
1:19:25reason why is because I was following
1:19:27these guys for three or four two or
1:19:29three years now that you know they they
1:19:33weren't doing
1:19:35as how they basically there's a lot of
1:19:39there's a lot of people on Twitter that
1:19:40are that are really popular that uh
1:19:43don't have as much experience I would
1:19:45say right at at what compared to
1:19:48somebody like myself for example and I'm
1:19:50like seeing everything that they're
1:19:51doing and I'm like damn people look
1:19:54people like trust everything they're
1:19:56saying just cuz they have the following
1:19:57and they're sharing it and then at
1:19:59January of this year when I moved to
1:20:00Miami I had uh there was about five big
1:20:04influencers who were in Miami that I
1:20:07started connecting with and based off
1:20:10those connections and adding value to
1:20:12them and just becoming friends with them
1:20:13and now we all hang out Daniel his
1:20:15name's cold Emil wizard he's he's has
1:20:17like 80,000 followers on Twitter uh and
1:20:19there's Logan Fitz he has about 40,000
1:20:22followers on Twitter there's Nick Rogers
1:20:24about 20,000 Jeremy Moser anyways
1:20:26there's all these guys and I started
1:20:28connecting with them but they were the
1:20:30younger generation right I'm 28 they're
1:20:3322 23 24 so they're a few years younger
1:20:38but they're appealing to the 16 17
1:20:4118yearold and I was like okay if I can
1:20:45add value to them and become friends
1:20:47with them so we're all we're all helping
1:20:48each other grow then naturally I'm going
1:20:51to be able to be a part of this upand
1:20:53cominging wave of entrepreneurs who
1:20:55follow them and position myself as
1:20:57someone who's a friend of theirs so that
1:20:59I can be able to you know impact connect
1:21:03with this new generation and it's funny
1:21:05because I went from 500 followers at the
1:21:07beginning of January to now I'm at
1:21:08almost 7500 which you know isn't 10K but
1:21:11it's like that's 7.5 7x from what I've
1:21:15done and all I've been doing is just
1:21:16sharing on Twitter like literally just
1:21:18documenting what I've been doing so I
1:21:20share that because there's a there's a
1:21:23power like you said in the community and
1:21:26in my opinion
1:21:28YouTube with what we're talking about
1:21:30now sharing the journey the
1:21:32documentation of the behind the scenes
1:21:34with real value provided as well plus
1:21:36the Twitter because Twitter is where you
1:21:39can exp like a lot of people don't
1:21:42succeed on Twitter and the reason why is
1:21:44cu they're not able to express their
1:21:46thoughts in a way that connects it's
1:21:49hard for people to go from like Facebook
1:21:50or YouTube to Twitter but you either
1:21:53have it or you can learn how to do it
1:21:54but it's like it it takes another level
1:21:56of like expression it's like quick
1:21:58thoughts like the best Tweets that I
1:21:59have sometimes I'll just think of
1:22:01something randomly and I'm like boom
1:22:02boom boom boom I I just send it out to
1:22:04the universe and that one just gets
1:22:07retweeted favorites because it's just it
1:22:09almost like the natural thoughts that
1:22:11you have those are tweets and that's
1:22:13what people that are following you get
1:22:15to see as the like the behind the scenes
1:22:18of you so it's almost like the YouTube
1:22:20Vlog but it's an insight into how you
1:22:22think does that make sense yeah I get it
1:22:25and I think Twitter is going to be
1:22:28especially with everything that's going
1:22:29on with Elon too one of the most like uh
1:22:33high IQ kind of platforms for this
1:22:36industry as
1:22:37well I'm already seeing it like The
1:22:40Mastermind the admin Mastermind five out
1:22:43of the you know 20 people or so we'
1:22:45enrolled so far is all from Twitter yeah
1:22:48well I've noticed that all the
1:22:50VCS and founders of like massive
1:22:53companies that their platform of choice
1:22:55M which is interesting like why I
1:23:00mean yeah I personally don't like it but
1:23:04I see its value like yeah yeah I mean it
1:23:07would take a lot it's it's you can get
1:23:09trapped on Twitter too right like you
1:23:10just scroll it's just like anything else
1:23:13but the networking from Twitter and the
1:23:15the the the thought the thoughts on
1:23:17Twitter are just a lot more clean I
1:23:20would say than than like a Facebook
1:23:23nowadays
1:23:24you know yeah well Facebook is just
1:23:28weird yeah
1:23:32um yeah I think Twitter's very good at
1:23:34conveying like news yeah like if I ever
1:23:37want to know like what's going on like
1:23:40sometimes you just get that feeling
1:23:42you're like what's going on out there
1:23:45and you've got some spare time so you
1:23:46can
1:23:47look I'll typically go to Twitter like I
1:23:50don't go to the news any news stations
1:23:53you certainly don't go to Facebook I
1:23:54mean I don't I don't go there for
1:23:56anything
1:23:58um and you don't it's also not a YouTube
1:24:01thing like where do you go to find out
1:24:02what's going on yeah you don't go to
1:24:04YouTube yeah it's that's why I go to
1:24:07Twitter so I've got a fake account it's
1:24:10it's called like I won't even say what
1:24:12it's called cuz then you'll be able to
1:24:14see who I follow yeah but um it's just a
1:24:17random name Anonymous account yeah yeah
1:24:18I don't post anything but I only follow
1:24:21about five accounts that are just five
1:24:25heavily curated things so and
1:24:28it's it's just the people that I believe
1:24:32are like the smartest in the world so
1:24:34like if I want to know what's going on
1:24:36in the world I'll find out what's going
1:24:38on in their world and there the people I
1:24:40trust the most yeah and it only has five
1:24:43people on it cuz I think as soon as you
1:24:45follow too many people it just gets out
1:24:47of control right yeah but I don't engage
1:24:51in it at all which I just treat it as a
1:24:53news source that's the other uh that's
1:24:56how I knew you tweeted about you went on
1:24:58there right yeah so I'm using it but I'm
1:25:00not like getting sucked into it but
1:25:03that's the cool part about what you just
1:25:04said is that that proves almost what I'm
1:25:06trying to get across as well which is
1:25:09that powerful people influential people
1:25:12smart people use Twitter they may not
1:25:15engage or tweet every day but they have
1:25:17a Twitter account and I think that's
1:25:20what I see in it as well where it's like
1:25:22you can get in contact with I mean
1:25:24obviously if they're nf's account you
1:25:25won't be able to know but I've had
1:25:27people book calls with our agency that
1:25:29had they said they followed me on
1:25:31Twitter somehow and then you look at
1:25:32their profile and they have three
1:25:34followers no like a random image about
1:25:37there's no like literally anything about
1:25:39them but they're doing 500k a month like
1:25:41in their business like and I'm like yeah
1:25:44there's there Twitter's level of uh
1:25:47quality I think is just underrated it's
1:25:50really
1:25:51underrated cuz because I mean you just
1:25:53said it right you follow five people
1:25:54people and you curate your content but
1:25:56you also are tapped into what's going on
1:25:58there and I think if you can become an
1:26:01influential on Twitter in the future
1:26:04it's going to be very very lucrative uh
1:26:06for your personal brand and Longevity
1:26:08because there's a few kind of like
1:26:10different developments that I'm tracking
1:26:12that have like impactful to me in my
1:26:16world which is like the remote work
1:26:18trend is really interesting
1:26:20because I've noticed that switch it went
1:26:22heavy remote and now it's coming back
1:26:24and every day a different company
1:26:26announces it and I'm seeing what
1:26:28different people think about it and the
1:26:30reactions to their thoughts cuz that's a
1:26:32big one that'll impact me yeah and then
1:26:35the other one is just the economy like
1:26:38the recession and then the other one is
1:26:40like venture capital and
1:26:43startups and Founders and the and the
1:26:47experience Founders are having right
1:26:49like about hiring about raising about
1:26:53valuations about the markets about
1:26:55Capital markets and those are just the
1:26:58things I'm sensing from there from
1:27:00Twitter yeah because it's it's all on
1:27:03the feet it's news that's what it is
1:27:05yeah yeah yeah you go on I go on my
1:27:08Twitter timeline and it's always about
1:27:09insightful things related to what's
1:27:11going on this happened with FTX for
1:27:13example is a big one right now uh I saw
1:27:15that one blow up yeah yeah and it's it's
1:27:17like there's a new Thread about it every
1:27:19single day it's like new discovering
1:27:21about FTX and that one's getting shared
1:27:23a bunch because of
1:27:24that whole debacle you know um and then
1:27:28like the whole like uh presidential
1:27:30stuff yeah so it's like it's yeah you're
1:27:32right I never thought about it like that
1:27:34but it's basically
1:27:35news because everyone's sharing in real
1:27:38time as well yeah and it has a power to
1:27:41it if you like want to see what I'm
1:27:43talking about you can just create a new
1:27:45account fresh with a random name so you
1:27:47never even think about using it to
1:27:50create just look and just think about
1:27:52who would be the five people that are
1:27:54trust the most to give me my news oh wow
1:27:57and then look at your feed it's actually
1:27:59pretty good and then yeah cuz then it'll
1:28:01things like suggested on based on what
1:28:03we think you might like and then I don't
1:28:05follow any of those by the way the more
1:28:07you add the worse it gets yeah and I
1:28:12don't in interact with it so I'm purely
1:28:15just seeing what are the thoughts of the
1:28:17five people that I think are the
1:28:19smartest in my world yeah it could be an
1:28:22interesting experiment to do cuz I used
1:28:24to have a Twitter that I
1:28:26used and it was just kind of the feed
1:28:30was all junked up and everything right
1:28:32so I just created a new one like a
1:28:34burner one and it's pretty a burner
1:28:36Twitter account I'm really curious of
1:28:39what your name is dude what your image
1:28:40is is I wonder if it's like a crypto
1:28:43I'll tell you afterwards yeah yeah tell
1:28:44me after cuz if I tell everyone then
1:28:46you'll probably ruin my feet yeah no no
1:28:48don't don't mention that yeah that's
1:28:51funny man yeah but it just it just makes
1:28:53me cuz I'm like yeah Sam's on Twitter so
1:28:56it's like confirming my my uh on it but
1:28:59just not in the normal way I'm not
1:29:01tweeting my opinions still you're on it
1:29:05yeah and you're not on any other social
1:29:06probably once a week I'll check it just
1:29:08to see what's going on in my world yeah
1:29:10for probably for 30
1:29:11minutes I think that's why like it's
1:29:14just
1:29:15uh yeah I just I I just felt like the
1:29:18barrier to entry for Twitter was so low
1:29:20when it comes to the space that we're in
1:29:21about what's being shared that I was
1:29:23like dude this is an opportunity that
1:29:24like I just can't pass up and I'm seeing
1:29:26the fruits of it now just by I'm not
1:29:28even like I'm not even there's people
1:29:30out there that they plan their content
1:29:31ahead of time and schedule it all I'm
1:29:33doing is just when I get like kind of
1:29:35like what you do when you do it once a
1:29:36week I maybe do it I maybe tweet it once
1:29:38or twice a day maybe but I've just been
1:29:41doing that consistently as just been
1:29:42active on it but if I took it seriously
1:29:45I mean then it would be a different
1:29:47story yeah I've got some friends that
1:29:50have like they're real big on it and
1:29:52they swear by it Dan go who joined wi
1:29:55right 300,000 followers on Twitter it's
1:29:59funny Dan seeing Dan's tweets but yeah
1:30:00he crushes it he crushes Twitter um Alex
1:30:04rosi gets all of his YouTube content
1:30:05from Twitter because he tweets out his
1:30:07thoughts in real time and the ones that
1:30:09go crazy he turns those into
1:30:10full-fledged long form YouTube videos so
1:30:12he uses that for his
1:30:14content um there's a lot of other people
1:30:17too I just don't want to get sucked into
1:30:19it because I don't have
1:30:22the the time like I'm already very busy
1:30:27and so I don't want to get sucked in I
1:30:30think it depends too going back to the
1:30:31the personality types of what we just
1:30:32talked about right like I think it makes
1:30:35sense for me to get some of my time
1:30:37sucked into it to build the brand of me
1:30:43but also that fuels ad spend so there's
1:30:45a little bit of I mean there is direct
1:30:47correlation of why I I believe I should
1:30:49be doing it and there's arguments maybe
1:30:51not
1:30:52right but I don't see I don't seeing it
1:30:56I don't see it I actually see it as
1:30:58counterproductive if I don't do it like
1:31:00I I think about the what if not what if
1:31:02I didn't do it like do we would
1:31:04definitely not the pros for me far
1:31:06outweigh the cons yeah I think what
1:31:08you've got to do is decide what your
1:31:10core
1:31:11Platformers yeah so like there you
1:31:13should have cuz it's I mean some
1:31:15full-time influencers are multicore yeah
1:31:18so they're like producing native content
1:31:20on Tik Tok real short I mean that you
1:31:24can't also do other things when and
1:31:27that's fine there's people that make a
1:31:29ton doing that but they're like
1:31:30influencers yeah yeah but if you have to
1:31:33run a business which is the problem that
1:31:34all businesses basically have these days
1:31:36how do I make content and run my
1:31:40business and you just choose one core
1:31:42like YouTube I would still choose that
1:31:44as my core for sure but then like you
1:31:47know you could tweet out your ideas that
1:31:50could help you find material for your
1:31:53video cuz you still need ideas right and
1:31:58so Twitter's your idea machine and your
1:32:00sharing of the things that blow up you
1:32:03share the video and then they take off
1:32:06too right and then you could then get
1:32:09people to repurpose it for shorts and
1:32:11stuff but you see what I mean about
1:32:13YouTube is the core cuz cuz that is what
1:32:16create that that's the most sustainable
1:32:19I think scalable and then longevity wise
1:32:21as well stable platform M and then you
1:32:24can cut up like let's cuz like every
1:32:26video from what Clark and Vanessa and
1:32:28Aaron and uh they were and quasi were
1:32:30teaching it's like every video is like
1:32:32just the same as an ad right it's a hook
1:32:34and you have the body or the story it's
1:32:36the three bullet points of the body of
1:32:38the the video and then you have the call
1:32:40to action it's the same as a YouTube ad
1:32:41script and then you can cut up those
1:32:44three body points those three bullet
1:32:46points into Twitter uh Twitter content
1:32:50or into shorts Tik toks Instagram reels
1:32:53and stuff like that so yeah YouTube is
1:32:54definitely the main one and like I think
1:32:57the way you separated it right now is
1:32:58just perfect it's like YouTube is your
1:32:59main organic traffic source and platform
1:33:02and then Twitter which is exactly how
1:33:04I'm using it is just Idea Idea like just
1:33:09throwing out ideas and then the ones
1:33:11that hit can then be turned into a long
1:33:13form video you're always testing
1:33:16material cuz there's a creator of stand
1:33:18comedian right that's how I started to
1:33:20think about it because you know and a in
1:33:23a musician a guitar player has a riff
1:33:26they might have all these different
1:33:27riffs and they start jamming with
1:33:28friends and then they notice that this
1:33:30one little riff gets everyone's
1:33:33attention so then they build on it right
1:33:36and that becomes a song and then that
1:33:39song takes off because it's built that
1:33:41way and I always know that I can do a
1:33:45killer promo immediately after a Quantum
1:33:48event yeah like this last one that
1:33:49happened yeah it was so obvious to me
1:33:52what topics people cared about out
1:33:54masterminds YouTube organic YouTube ads
1:33:58right mhm Taxas like um and I knew what
1:34:03little sayings I had that got people's
1:34:06attention because I was up there I could
1:34:08see everyone's face yeah so I knew like
1:34:11I had some material or like some bits or
1:34:14a riff whatever you want to call it it's
1:34:16all the same kind of thing or nuggets
1:34:18people call them you know then I had to
1:34:21go to a few different settings after
1:34:23that like I went down to San Diego to
1:34:25and I had to someone called me up to
1:34:27speak about something and it was the
1:34:29last minute so I just thought well I'm
1:34:31just going to cover those things that
1:34:32were hot at that event mhm and then I
1:34:34won best nugget at this damn thing when
1:34:37it was and it was just cuz I I had a
1:34:39Zone I that I had pulled it from I kind
1:34:42of cheated I had just come from an
1:34:44environment of 3 days yeah and I CH
1:34:47chose the most highlight Snippets and
1:34:50then provided them there so it just
1:34:52stood out m then later I turned that
1:34:55into a
1:34:56video and it enrolled a ton of people
1:34:59into Quantum yeah do you see yeah yeah
1:35:02it's like that and then when I heard
1:35:04hosi talking about how he uses Twitter
1:35:07that's how he comes up with ideas he
1:35:09just tweets them doesn't think twice the
1:35:12things that gain traction become videos
1:35:16and that's how he he has more confidence
1:35:19that the videos are going to take off
1:35:21cuz he's not testing ideas at that level
1:35:25yeah just the same way I know like a
1:35:26campaign's going to work because I've
1:35:28kind or a video is going to work cuz
1:35:30I've kind of tested the at The
1:35:32Mastermind yeah yeah yeah I think like
1:35:35even the that's how I used the last
1:35:37video I did uh the Youtube ads targeting
1:35:39update one cuz everything was changing I
1:35:41put it on Twitter I was like big changes
1:35:43with YouTube ads my highest engagement
1:35:46tweet I've ever done like almost two 300
1:35:49retweet 300 retweets a th000 plus likes
1:35:53almost 100 plus comments like that the
1:35:56Impressions on that was insane you going
1:35:57to make a video on it now I already did
1:35:59okay and that one uh is is getting so
1:36:02many view like getting views it got it's
1:36:04at 1.6 1,600 which is good for my
1:36:07channel right I have 6,000 uh
1:36:09subscribers and then a lot of them were
1:36:11from like my old Fitness content so like
1:36:12that's a really good size for me but
1:36:15um but uh it's getting organic cuz it's
1:36:18a Hot Topic in the industry especially
1:36:20when it comes to YouTube ads because
1:36:21everyone's freaking out about it like
1:36:22even in we right like with the the the
1:36:26the you know everyone's worried about
1:36:28with keyword targeting gone content
1:36:29targeting what do we do and I'm like you
1:36:32know it's funny cuz it was so prominent
1:36:34that I had to put it in the FAQ of the
1:36:36promo I yeah yeah because I asked Jesse
1:36:40I was like you know this even is how we
1:36:43came up with the FAQ I asked Jesse what
1:36:46are the what are most of the customer
1:36:47support tickets about in order and he
1:36:49ranked them and he gave them to me wow
1:36:51and then that's what I put as the FAQ
1:36:53beneath the sales page cuz I knew that's
1:36:55what everyone was asking about so I
1:36:56didn't sit down and try to think what is
1:36:59I just found out so I'm not surprised
1:37:02that you say that that's what everyone
1:37:03wants yeah there there's different ways
1:37:05of sensing and seeing what people want
1:37:08and then you've got to take that and put
1:37:11it everywhere and that will it's pretty
1:37:13much guaranteed to take off yeah the
1:37:15same this is the same way that like
1:37:18musicians
1:37:19test like riffs and music and stuff and
1:37:23standup Like Comics test
1:37:27comedy they test bits at different uh
1:37:30like standup standup gigs sometimes they
1:37:32do a show just they're experimenting
1:37:35like they're not performing so you've
1:37:37got to know like which zone are you in
1:37:39like yeah I was watching a podcast I
1:37:41listen to a lot of standup comedians
1:37:42podcasts like uh Andrew Schultz or like
1:37:44Andrew Santino or Brian Ken and Brennon
1:37:47sh and all them and then they one of
1:37:49them I remember some one of the
1:37:51comedians was like maybe it was the oon
1:37:53was like uh he came on stage one time I
1:37:55could be wrong if it's the ovon but
1:37:57someone I remember one of them saying
1:37:58like they got on stage and they were
1:38:00like guys I'm testing out new material
1:38:01tonight so like just want everyone to be
1:38:03aware of that like they made it clear it
1:38:05was kind of interesting but yeah they're
1:38:06testing always they're always suring and
1:38:09and the timing and everything yes you
1:38:11need a testing ground right you can't
1:38:13just perform yeah so it's like Twitter's
1:38:15a testing ground now it's just got it's
1:38:18very clear it could be test and share
1:38:21test and share yeah like cuz once you do
1:38:23find a thing that people want they you
1:38:25know they want more so you bring it back
1:38:27and you give them the YouTube video or
1:38:29whatever right yeah yeah yeah so it's
1:38:32playing a like it's providing a function
1:38:35to the overall system what's funny is
1:38:38the last Quantum the last AB Bard room
1:38:40Mastermind with Cole I did it my best
1:38:43successful uh thread and email to my
1:38:47list I the subject line was um here's
1:38:50$68,000 worth of free value that was a
1:38:52subject line and then it was like a
1:38:54almost like a ninew email but it was
1:38:56like Hey first name I just got done
1:38:58spending the weekend with a 100 with a
1:38:59100 with a room full of 100 plus
1:39:01entrepreneurs doing anywhere from um 1
1:39:03million to 5 million whatever right you
1:39:06want my notes uh comment reply notes and
1:39:09I'll send them to you flooded my inbox
1:39:12it was like a 50% open rate which is in
1:39:15I mean crazy and there was like a it was
1:39:17it was whatever reply rate and then I
1:39:20posted on Twitter too flooded and then I
1:39:22was like okay so that's why I'm bringing
1:39:24my camera this time around to a fig
1:39:25boardroom because I'm going to do
1:39:26basically the same sort of subject line
1:39:29but for YouTube now right cuz it's a
1:39:32hard
1:39:33topic yeah it's funny I even clicked
1:39:36that
1:39:37link cuz I was like I wonder how we
1:39:39summarized my event oh yeah yeah yeah
1:39:43cuz I don't have notes CU I'm like
1:39:45running it right so I was like you like
1:39:47it yeah yeah I can see why people you
1:39:51know people most most people can't get
1:39:54access to like a 36 G Mastermind so that
1:39:58is as good as they're going to get and
1:40:01they they that's like getting access to
1:40:04something that you can't get access to
1:40:05you know but they don't get the best
1:40:07part which is the experience of course
1:40:09it's still the best they're going to get
1:40:11the it's the tactics the Nuggets but
1:40:14it's like that's it's something yeah
1:40:16it's something and I think that's also
1:40:17why it's cool because now I I believe it
1:40:20inspires them to want to be able to be a
1:40:22part of it oh yeah no it's helpful to
1:40:24The Mastermind for sure yeah cuz that
1:40:27was me I was like man if I could just
1:40:29get inside of these rooms with these
1:40:30guys I I'll be able to learn and go so
1:40:33much faster and then now being in a
1:40:35position to where I can share that with
1:40:36others it's like I'm almost sharing it
1:40:38with my younger self in a way it's like
1:40:39here's dude take it and then more people
1:40:41need to do that like share what it's
1:40:43really
1:40:46like yeah because I think way more
1:40:48people would want to be
1:40:50involved and everyone would see that
1:40:54it's not people are just normal and
1:40:56pretty casual and they've figured out
1:40:59some basic stuff it's not as like insane
1:41:02as prob cuz you know when you don't know
1:41:03anything you assume wild things like
1:41:05they're doing black magic in there or
1:41:07something you know like you just don't
1:41:10know like well yeah even even when you
1:41:13were sharing all the stuff like with the
1:41:15the remarkable thing I'm like Sam has to
1:41:17have this crazy thing where it's like no
1:41:18I just use the warm map and a notepad
1:41:20yeah that's what I'm getting at
1:41:22sometimes the answer what it really is
1:41:24is so damn simple that it's it's
1:41:27unbelievable actually yeah but you swore
1:41:30that what must be going on in there must
1:41:32be crazy but it's more simple than like
1:41:35the amateurs a lot of the time
1:41:40yeah which is interesting too cuz like
1:41:42one thing that I think I'd be curious to
1:41:44to hear your perspective on is like do
1:41:47you do you think it'd be better if you
1:41:49started sharing more about like the
1:41:51building process of school
1:41:54like that kind of behind the scenes not
1:41:56video but like maybe like a Weekly
1:41:59Newsletter around the what the school
1:42:02team's working
1:42:04on so we have this kind of thing this
1:42:07rule that we've got which is we don't
1:42:09talk about anything till it's done yeah
1:42:15and that's why we don't do any of that
1:42:19uh because it really just motivates us
1:42:22to ship and then we just build a relate
1:42:24like a reputation with our
1:42:27users as Builders not like talkers we
1:42:30never hyping up we just we just
1:42:33ship and we just keep going and we
1:42:36provide and it and school is fast and
1:42:38reliable yeah right and that's what we
1:42:41want to be knowing for um we get to and
1:42:44it makes it so much more exciting to
1:42:46talk about when it's ready and it also
1:42:48want forces you to really like finish it
1:42:52and then ship it in announce it it's
1:42:53like a celebration Loop yeah and we we
1:42:56have 30-day Cycles like that um so there
1:43:00is we do kind of have that but you know
1:43:04the other thing is is that if I was
1:43:06sharing the intricacies of building
1:43:07school that would be appealing to a a
1:43:10SAS well it be a venture backed SAS
1:43:13founder because the scale of school is
1:43:15very expensive it's not going to be just
1:43:17someone that wants to start a s yeah
1:43:19school's way too expensive you need a
1:43:20lot of money so it's only going appeal
1:43:23to people that are going to raise money
1:43:24from VCS that want to build big
1:43:26companies which is not my audience for
1:43:29school at all it's it's people that want
1:43:31to share education so then I'm I'm
1:43:33picking up the wrong audience yeah and
1:43:36then it makes me a teacher of something
1:43:38that I have no interest in teaching like
1:43:41I don't want to teach how to build a
1:43:42platform which is why this podcast makes
1:43:44the most sense yeah yeah CU you're
1:43:46talking to the creators as well as the
1:43:48people that are in the industry and
1:43:50anyone else that's just interesting to
1:43:52you and
1:43:53yeah because I'm building software but
1:43:55my audience are creators content
1:43:59creators and Community Builders right so
1:44:02that's I ran into a bit of a trap at one
1:44:03point cuz I was like the thing I am
1:44:05doing is
1:44:06not the thing that my audience wants to
1:44:09know about which was school you mean
1:44:11right yeah yeah yeah yeah well I think
1:44:15that's also going back to what we talked
1:44:16about earlier with the Mastermind why
1:44:17why you've been able
1:44:18to use that you said like the little
1:44:21trick again of being able to get other
1:44:22people to share those topics that
1:44:25everyone else is interested in who are
1:44:27good at it they're good at it and then
1:44:28they're sharing that was amazing like I
1:44:31thought I would be done cuz I was so
1:44:33worried about this I was like I'm going
1:44:35to lose my Edge because I'm no longer
1:44:37doing a lot of the
1:44:38things I'm not going to know what to
1:44:40talk about at The Mastermind people are
1:44:42going to start to leave and then I'm
1:44:45going to just have to stop doing it
1:44:47completely right yeah and I was like
1:44:49damn
1:44:51um that's what I thought was going to
1:44:53happen
1:44:55but instead I was like well I'll just
1:44:58get other people to talk and what's
1:45:00amazing is it got better yeah 100% like
1:45:04but do you know how crazy that is that I
1:45:06thought the thing that was going to end
1:45:08it made it
1:45:10better so it just shows that the
1:45:13Paradigm everyone's using to approach
1:45:15this industry is really wrong yeah yeah
1:45:18and the quality of members I started
1:45:20getting was so much better and the IT
1:45:23things got way more fun and then it just
1:45:26became way more like collaborative
1:45:29because people were sharing everything
1:45:32and like helping each other out and yeah
1:45:36so it taught me a lot that was probably
1:45:39the biggest lesson I had in info like
1:45:43today I reckon that experience cuz
1:45:45people haven't had that experience
1:45:47they're still very guarded about and and
1:45:51in their little island and they've got
1:45:53to know everything you know yeah but
1:45:55that's never served me what's allowed me
1:45:57to be able to I guess Win Friends and
1:46:00Influence People if that makes sense the
1:46:01easiest metaphor is like being just
1:46:03sharing everything giving everything
1:46:04away because we always had an agency
1:46:07right so it's like we can give
1:46:07everything away for free but they they
1:46:09want to pay us to work with us to to do
1:46:11the implementation so I was never afraid
1:46:13of that and I mean I know about sharing
1:46:16but of like getting other people to fill
1:46:18in where you don't have the answer you
1:46:20know yeah yeah using other people's
1:46:23knowledge to be able to fill in the gaps
1:46:25that you're not as strong at also I
1:46:28think people think that if they're going
1:46:29to refer someone else that that person
1:46:31the customer's going to leave them and
1:46:32just go to that person yeah but that
1:46:35doesn't happen often that person that
1:46:37you referred them too if they end up
1:46:41having a good experience like if I told
1:46:42someone about you I win more trust with
1:46:45that customer and now if they get
1:46:47results with you they want to help me
1:46:49more cuz they attribute it to me so it
1:46:52does at the doesn't like leave you and
1:46:54go to them it actually just it comes
1:46:56back around if you make good
1:46:59recommendations Yeah well yeah because
1:47:01like even with the Mastermind now right
1:47:02it's like well if you want to learn how
1:47:04to scale with YouTube ads in the info SP
1:47:06space and build uh a sustainable brand
1:47:09long term you're going to need to learn
1:47:10how to do YouTube organic where's the
1:47:12best place to learn that I mean Quantum
1:47:15Mastermind is probably the best place
1:47:17obviously because of the quality of
1:47:18members that are in there that are doing
1:47:20both so but even even with in there like
1:47:25people are working with each other and
1:47:28it's not like I just provide all the
1:47:29value you know what I mean yeah
1:47:33exactly we're getting close to your
1:47:35flight time yeah Quick Trip heading to
1:47:38uh Arizona tomorrow tonight tonight no
1:47:42I'm going tomorrow yeah that'll be fun
1:47:45I've never been before you were just
1:47:47there with the no I mean to Cole's
1:47:49Master oh oh yeah yeah I'm interest we
1:47:52oh man I want to uh I want to text you
1:47:54after and well we'll talk about it at
1:47:56The
1:47:57Mastermind yeah cuz it's it's funny it's
1:48:00two different types of
1:48:02atmospheres really yeah but a lot of
1:48:04there's people that are in both right
1:48:06yeah yeah but it's just different and in
1:48:09not a bad way or a good way it's just
1:48:11different there's something special
1:48:13about this classroom I'll refer to it as
1:48:16a classroom whereas other masterminds
1:48:20Cole specifically is really good though
1:48:21the quality of people in are really good
1:48:23as well
1:48:25um yeah I don't know maybe it's just a
1:48:28different format if that if that makes
1:48:30sense there's tables specifically for
1:48:32specific people um what do you mean like
1:48:37uh like depending on where you're at
1:48:38with your business oh I see oh I got it
1:48:41which is actually interesting cuz uh
1:48:45last time we were there there was a
1:48:46table like at wonder what table I'm
1:48:47going to be
1:48:48in yeah it was table one through like
1:48:51table 18 or something but there was no
1:48:53one at table 18 cuz that was reserved
1:48:55for like this certain uh revenue or
1:48:57whatever and everyone's like I want to
1:48:58get the I want to get to table 18 man so
1:49:00it kind of creates like a gamified
1:49:02system if that makes sense maybe they
1:49:05still have that maybe they don't but uh
1:49:06we'll see tomorrow or we'll see this
1:49:08weekend I'm interested at how people do
1:49:11their I think the the tendency I've
1:49:13noticed cuz I've been talking to Vanessa
1:49:15who doing her Mastermind this weekend
1:49:18then she's coming on this podcast oh she
1:49:20she launched hers yeah she's got people
1:49:23oh wow was it a back end yeah 25k wow
1:49:26that's sick yeah um she showed me her
1:49:29agenda and it's just jammed and I'm like
1:49:31you really could leave more white space
1:49:34in here I was like if there's no moments
1:49:36that you that are just left
1:49:39empty the like Spirit of the room won't
1:49:43like come out to tell you what it wants
1:49:47cuz it's just it's just boom boom bo
1:49:49boom flooded yeah your Bas there's the
1:49:52energy and the room isn't given anywhere
1:49:54to
1:49:55like to play basically right yeah
1:50:01and it's I think people were scared of
1:50:04that like we were talking about our
1:50:05friend that's too scared to come on the
1:50:07podcast because cuz it's he's never done
1:50:10anything structured no unstructured yeah
1:50:13that's what I mean yeah yeah he's that's
1:50:15that freaks everyone out cuz Vanessa was
1:50:18freaked out about doing a mastermind cuz
1:50:19she had only done structured stuff but
1:50:22was like you're just going to have to
1:50:23get over that but I said the easiest way
1:50:26to get over it is just to come to
1:50:28Quantum watch and then she got it she's
1:50:30like oh okay yeah it freaked her out at
1:50:33first though oh yeah the th yeah well
1:50:36like just even being a partic like just
1:50:38like it's so so loose and natural and
1:50:41organic well you have to be I refer to
1:50:44it as like the difference between like
1:50:46jazz music and like an orchestra so you
1:50:49know how jazz is different yeah yeah
1:50:51yeah so Jazz you got one person kind of
1:50:53start jamming someone listens and they
1:50:55kind of come in and it it kind of
1:50:57emerges like that right and that's how I
1:51:02run these um whereas an orchestra is all
1:51:05like scheduled and everything I think
1:51:08people are terrified of what might
1:51:10happen if it isn't planned yeah so I
1:51:14always have a backup that's my way of
1:51:16dealing with it I have an agenda and I
1:51:18have things that I if it's just awkward
1:51:20and there's nothing I always have
1:51:23something I can fall back on but I leave
1:51:26the space there and often what comes up
1:51:28and goes in there is way better than the
1:51:31things that I would have planned yeah
1:51:33it's a fear
1:51:35thing and it leaves room for the
1:51:37community to collaborate which is what
1:51:38the best part is about getting the real
1:51:40inperson experiences and being able to
1:51:42attend an event like that so that white
1:51:45space is
1:51:46good yeah I don't why do you think
1:51:48people are scared of it cuz they're
1:51:51afraid of like it's us just described it
1:51:53perfectly I mean just thinking about it
1:51:54for me if I were ever to run a backend
1:51:56Mastermind I would definitely do it how
1:51:57you're doing it but if I would also
1:52:00still have that fear of like maybe it's
1:52:02too loose because you almost think that
1:52:05people are coming and they're going to
1:52:07be disappointed if they don't get
1:52:09tactical tactical tactical shoved down
1:52:11their throats because you don't want
1:52:12them to be
1:52:14upset but the real money in the
1:52:16masterminds from my experience and the
1:52:18real memories are made not like in the
1:52:21classroom they're on the conversations
1:52:24yeah the conversations you have during
1:52:25lunch the conversations you have during
1:52:27breaks the conversations you have at
1:52:28dinner the cigar bar at wherever hanging
1:52:31out with the members those are when
1:52:33everyone's a little bit more loose
1:52:36anyways to where I mean everyone's just
1:52:39sharing and it's
1:52:42fun yeah that's what it needs to be
1:52:44sharing and fun so how can you make the
1:52:46classroom experience that as well as the
1:52:49hanging out which which is exactly what
1:52:51Quantum is now to me because it's it's
1:52:54both you combined both of those elements
1:52:56whereas if there's too much structure
1:52:57and too much schedule like some of the
1:52:59other masterminds it's uh yeah it kind
1:53:02of drains you a little
1:53:03bit
1:53:05yeah yeah well I'm curious to see what
