Audio Transcription

So many different times in my life, I’ve played with broken or hurt things. Broken foot, broken leg, broken hand, broken arm, broken sternum, broken collarbone. I could keep going if I just thought more about bones. Why, man? Because I loved it. I loved playing the game. I was passionate about it. One of the reasons I even get encouraged at seeing all of you here, you know why I get encouraged by that is because you could be anywhere doing a lot of different things, but you chose to be here Some shows don’t need a celebrity narrator to introduce the show But this show does in a world filled with endless opportunities Why would two men who have built 13 multi-million dollar businesses? five hours per day to teach you the best practice business systems and moves that you can use. Because they believe in you. And they have a lot of time on their hands. This started from the bottom, now they’re here.

What is going on, Tulsa? What is going on? It is a Thursday, and you are listening to the Thrive Time Show on your Drive Time Home. This is that mind expanding show you go to when you want to have that business school without the BS. What you want to do is you want to skip those prerequisites. You don’t want Spanish 1. You don’t want Spanish 2. You just want to know what you need to do to start or grow a business. And today we are working without the luxury of having Dr. Z in the house. Typically we have a man with a lot of wisdom. He’s here and his name is Dr. Zellner. He’s normally here, but he’s out there expanding his vast business empire today. So you’re stuck with me, your co-host, Clay Clark. I’m the former SBA Entrepreneur of the Year. That’s Small Business Administration Entrepreneur of the Year in your ear. And I have two very special people who are joining me today. I have Ms. Sherita Bent. Ms. Sherita, how are you? Hey, I’m doing good. I was going to pretend to be Z. I didn’t know if anybody would notice or not. You had a certain Z-like aura to you. I could sense that you owned multiple businesses. I could sense that you were investing in a bank at this very moment. A lot of things were happening. I could feel that. And to my left, to your right, we have Corey Minter. Not M-E-N-T-O-R, but he is America’s mentor. He helps coach people on how to find the right employees. He’s Tulsa’s number one staffing solution. It’s Corey Mentor with Trinity Employment. Sir, how are you? I’m doing great. And Clay has tried to get me to change my name at least four or five times now. I haven’t done it yet. Are you still frustrated about that? No, I just, the thing is, his name is Corey Mentor, but I’m telling you, in Tulsa, so many people, thousands of people over the years have gone to Trinity Employment to find a job. There are people looking to find the right career, and employers are looking to hire the right people. He’s like the A-player matchmaker. He helps the right employees find the right jobs, and he really is kind of their mentor along their career path. You might want to look into that. I’m still looking into it. My wife’s not into it, but yeah. Your wife’s not into it? Yeah. Okay. A lot of paperwork would have to be done. We’re talking today about the six moves to properly set boundaries at work and in your personal life. Now I’m going to say this. I have thousands of people who have reached out to me over the years who are very, very happy financially, but their life is in the toilet personally. I talk about this every show, but I’m going to get really spiritual, really woo-woo today. Very woo-woo. That’s two woos. Hot coals. Here we go. Your life is the five F’s. You’ve got faith. We’re taking notes at home. I encourage you to do so. You’ve got the faith. You’ve got the family. You’ve got the finances. Someone might need to pull over right now to get all these. Be safe. Be safe. Family, finances, fitness and friendships. You show me someone who is perfect in all those areas. I show you a unicorn. But we all try. So what we’re going to get into is the six moves to properly set boundaries at work and in your personal life. So move number one is you want to set boundaries with your time. So Corey, I’m going to start picking on you. Your business is growing. It is. And years ago, about two years ago, you were named as one of the fastest 40 growing companies in Oklahoma by I think it was one of the local publications, like the Tulsa Business Journal, I think. That is incorrect. The last three years we’ve been one of Tulsa’s top 40 fastest growing companies. But last month, we were awarded by Inc. Magazine as one of the United States fastest 5,000 growing companies. Now see, what I always do is I always try to minimize the success of our guests. I am sorry for doing that. Your business is doing well, okay? And the thing is, there’s always one more meeting. You know it and I know it. There’s always one more meeting you could be in. There’s one more deal. There’s always somebody who texts you at 552 or maybe some of you who work until 5. It’s at 459. They say, hey, can we touch base real quick? And you know what you do, you sick freaks, you thrivers, you people out there trying to grow your wallet. You take that call. Now you’re on the driveway. It’s 547. Your wife is expecting you for dinner at 6 and at 547 you see another email come in going can we talk real quick? Urgent so you pick that up 622 your wife is now into the anger zone. She’s understanding, but she’s starting to it’s 722 you know who’s sleeping outside in the car you So I want to ask you here with your life. How do you set boundaries with your time? What are a couple moves a couple moves you’ve learned over the years obviously you’re always getting better But what are a couple moves that you’ve learned to trick your incredible wife miss amber into staying married to you What are the moves that you do to set boundaries with your time? Well, I think clay that there’s a lot of people that are probably listening right now if you own a business You probably are really resonating. It’s resonating a lot with you the the scenario that clay just explained because I’ll let you explain because when you’re trying to grow a business and you’re trying to be very intentional in growing your business, you want to put every amount of effort that you can to try to get that next deal or to provide exceptional customer service, really go over the top and beat your competition. What happens as a result of that, if you’re not careful and you don’t manage it well, is that you will flood yourself and you will become unorganized and it will start to show. And I’ve had that happen in my life. I’ll tell you what, I’ve had that happen a couple weeks ago. Oh a couple weeks ago? I know, I know. That was in the past. Right, right. That was in the past. It was in the past, but it happens very quickly if you’re not intentional with your time. And I’m not really, I’m not wanting to over, you know, inflate Clay’s head or anything like that. I will tell you that in witnessing other people work, and I’m talking to the audience out here, Clay Clark is one of the best time management individuals I’ve ever met. And so I appreciate you asking me the question. I do everything I can to time block my time and be very intentional with my day. I know and I have a 30 minute meeting with my assistant at the very beginning of every day. Non-negotiable meeting and we go over everything that we’re going to go through. We go through all of my emails from the previous day and we make sure that we’ve taken care of all of the responses that need to be sent out. She handles all of my schedule but I know from minute to minute everything that I’m going to do and I plan it out and I look over it and I spend that time to get acclimated with what I’m going to do that day. That way I’m intentional and not reactionary and that is a big difference. If you are reactionary and you’re thinking about this, you need to start thinking about your schedule because you’re going to be much more efficient for your customers. Yes, Clay? I’m going to pick on somebody in the real estate industry. Hypothetically, someone in our studio audience might be in the real estate industry. Are you ready for a knowledge bomb? Oh, I can’t wait. I’m going to make a bigger explosion than that. Even bigger. Bigger. There it is. Knowledge bomb. Everybody listen up. I’m going to give you this notable quotable. This is from Daniel Goldman. This is for anyone listening or anyone in our live studio audience who might be in real estate or not. That’s everybody, okay? So we need to create boundaries. When you carry a digital gadget that creates a virtual link to the office, you need to create a virtual boundary that didn’t exist before. Oh, so here’s the deal in real estate. I did many millions of dollars of transactions with my real estate partner and we did very well. And you know what would happen in real estate? Because you’ve got that smart phone out there making you dumb. But you’ve got that smart phone. And you know what happens is the people who want you to show their house, they send you that text at 9 o’clock on a Friday. Now, Shark, you’re married. Your husband, he coaches the youth of America. He’s a soccer coach, correct? Yeah, and he works in IT, too. I’m not going to ask any questions that would get you in trouble, but I want to ask you, has there ever been a time where one of the parents, because how many kids are on the team typically? Oh my gosh, sometimes they’ll carry 18. Has there ever been a week where one of the parents hasn’t had an urgent quick question for the coach? Has there ever been a time where you haven’t had like a quick, just one, you know, one quick question? No, yeah, that’s not happened. And they always will go, hey, just a quick question. Just real quick. So you pick up that quick phone. Yeah. And pretty soon you just interrupted that quick movie. And pretty soon you are… I won’t ask you about your marriage. I’ll just talk about mine. If you want to end up… I love the man cave. I’ve built a place where I literally never have to leave the man cave. I can’t wait to see the man cave. It’s beautiful. It’s manly beautiful. I don’t know what the right word is, but it’s amazing. Manscaping has been done. And so the thing is, is that I love that room, but I can’t come out. I’m not allowed to come in the house. I get that evil eye where I’m like, oh, I’m sorry. When I take that extra business call, and so what I’ve had to do is I’ve had to take that phone and I leave that in my, anyone want to guess, car. Leave it in my car. Take the phone, in the car. And you know why I have to do it? So you want to answer it. I don’t have the self-control need. Check it out. I know if you say, I want to learn how to be a good friend. This is not the show. I want to learn how to be a… No, but if you want to learn how to make your small business dominate, that’s what I do. It’s not hard for me. But I know what it takes to be successful. And I won’t… I know that if I call that person back, I can always book the deal. I can always get the deal. I can always close the deal, but I’ve discovered over time that one financial tip, and this is where the big knowledge bomb comes in. Cory, you ready for this? Oh, I can’t wait. This will help you keep half of your net worth. Stay married. Yes, yes. Right. I’m actually really interested. So what happens is if you are out there answering all those extra calls to get that extra deal, you’re going to cut your net worth in half because you’re getting divorced, Holmes. And if you’re a dude and you’re the earner, or you’re the lady and you’re the earner, if you’re the lady and you’re the earner, this is normal now, women are out there earning, the judge always rules in favor of the person who’s not the earner. It’s the quickest way to lose money I’ve heard. Yeah, you’re going to lose half of that money. So that wasn’t worth that call. So I’m asking you right now, if you’re listening right now, Thriver, ask, just determine right now, I want you to write it down, if you’re driving, I want you to just think about it, maybe send yourself an email, a stoplight, whatever the legal laws allow you to do at this point. But go ahead and write down, when are you going to turn that phone off? What time every day? Just like a non-negotiable, just set a time. Because it doesn’t end. Ever. And it’s drama. You know what I had to do? I had to turn my notifications off. I just had to turn the sounds off. You mean that bzzz? Yeah. Bing, bing, bing. Because I’ll keep, like Pavlov’s dog, Squirrel. I’m like, let me go get it That’s why the attention span the average person has gone down so much So what happens is if you are somebody listening to this right now and you’re like clay I thought you taught us I think you’re teaching us how to grow a successful business You’ve told us in previous trainings to do whatever it takes That’s true within boundaries, right? So ethical boundaries time boundaries But when we come back we’re gonna be teaching a move number two, which is really how to set boundaries with the people with whom you choose to engage. That’s a big thing. Coming up next, we’re going to teach you how to set boundaries with whom you choose to engage. So good. What is going on, Tulsa? It’s a Thursday. Many of you are driving home right now. And I just did a little quick shameless plug right now. You’re listening to The Thrive Time Show, sponsored by Oklahoma Joe’s. If you’re talking about, you’re looking for some barbecue, you’re trying to find something to eat, some of us right now, we’re driving and we’re going, I’m just looking for something to eat, I don’t even care what it is. You can pull into my favorite gas station, quick trip and get yourself a nice little meal, or you go to Oklahoma Joes, you treat yourself, next thing you know, your life is improving drastically. So get over there to Oklahoma Joes, but you’re listening right now to the Thrive Time Show, Tulsa’s only local business radio show. I’m joined today with Ms. Charita Bent. How are you, ma’am? Hey, hey, I’m great. And Mr. Corey Minter, the founder of Trinity Employment. Sir, how are you? Good afternoon. Happy after five o’clock today. Oh, and I’m joined today not by Dr. Robert Zellner, my co-host with the Mo-ost. He is expanding his vast business empire at the moment. So we’ll be bringing him back next week when he comes back from his economic expansion package. But we’re talking today about the six moves to properly set boundaries at work and in your personal life. And we talked about move number one, which is setting boundaries with your time. And move number two is set boundaries with the people with whom you choose to engage. Now I am going to share with you something that’s going to make you uncomfortable right now if you’re a listener. And some of you are going to say, I thought that you were a Christian. I wish I could see your face when you said that. I hope if you’re not driving you need to get on Facebook Live. If you see his expression it was so great. I thought you were a Christ-ian. It was full of judgment. So I am going to share with you some things. I’ve got three things I’m going to share with you about this move that are going to probably probably alter the way you interact with humans in the future. And you don’t have to agree with me. I just encourage you to stimulate the thinking. Okay? Okay. So thought number one. I have found that I cannot be a cup that is overflowing with joy when I am empty. So if anybody engages in, and I’m going to read them off to you, gossip, or repetitive, intentional stupidity. I do not speak to them. Yeah, I love it. So this morning, I went into my Facebook, as I do every morning, and I accept friend requests if you know people that I know and you’re not nuts. And I do not respond to any personal messages, ever. These are good boundaries that he has. No matter who it is, ever. Then I go into my LinkedIn and I do the same. And then I go into my email and if you do not work for me and you are not a client who is paying me, I hit delete. And I don’t care who it is. Delete, delete, delete, delete, delete, delete. Because if you’re paying me, Casey, I have to… Casey is in our audience here. He’s a great real estate guru. But he’s a client of mine, so I have to be sensitive. When you text me there, I know you can’t respond, but when you text me, he’s a client of mine, so now he’s top priority. If you’re not a client of mine, I don’t care. Because I can’t care or my cup will not be overflowing. Work with me. How successful would I be as an entrepreneur if I was returning, just in my life, I have about 100 to 150 inbound calls a day. Probably 300 or 400 emails a day. And maybe 400 text messages a day that come in. If I were to respond to those, I would be homeless, living in a van down by the river. My wife would leave me. I would have no money. And then I would not be having any success at all. Well, you’d be communicating all day. That’s right. You wouldn’t be able to do anything else. So I have to set those boundaries with the people. That’s kind of my move I do there. Then the other move I do with people is if people love to talk about people that aren’t in the room, I’m done with you. If you love to talk about people who aren’t in the room, it’s cool. If, Corey, you’re here, I have a problem with you, let’s talk about you. You have a problem with me, let’s talk about me. But I don’t do well with, like, hey, and then that circular conversation, because it wears you out and you get caught up in this drama and this thing where you said he said she said, boom. This starts negative thought. It does. And I’m going to keep going because someone said, I thought you were a Christian. I will not talk religion. If you want to talk religion at work, great. What about politics? So check it out. I have a big Israeli flag over my desk. Because I do believe that Israel was chosen by God. I do believe in the Judeo-Christian worldview. I do believe if you believe something else, you’re wrong. Right. But you believe that I’m wrong. Right. Right. So I’m not going to argue with it. Right. I’m not going to sit there in the workday and go, well, Trina, don’t you know that Muhammad was actually. Hey, I’m not going to try to convince you that Muhammad was wrong. I’m not going to try to convince you, Corey, that the angel Moroni and the Mormon faith was wrong. I’m trying to sell some stuff to you to make a profit by giving you products and services you like. I like Cherita’s question. Go for it. Do you discuss politics at work? No, but everyone knows my political views. We do. I want the government to get out of my way. That is true. Get government out of my way. I don’t need your help. I grew up with a little bit of government help. It didn’t help me. What it does is it makes you dependent and makes you retarded so you can’t actually provide for yourself because now you’re waiting for your check. So I love government help and people that can be helped. If you’re physically disabled, I want the government to help you. If you’re somebody who mentally doesn’t have the capacity, but I hate when the government says, here’s the deal, people will say, Clay Clark has OCD. It’s a problem. That’s a freaking gift. I can focus on something for 12 hours in a row with no interruption. Every, not every, but most really successful people are very OCD-ish about the way that they manage their time. And that’s a bad thing, right? But then I know somebody who’s very successful and they have ADD. They’re told they have ADD, like they’re a victim. No, no. They’re a phenomenal artist who’s making millions of dollars writing number one records. But they have ADD. I had ADD when I was a kid. Yeah, but it works really well for you when you need to work hard. So this is the thing is, if you’re listening right now, you’ve got to set boundaries with people. Now someone else listening goes, hey, I’m a pastor, and if someone wants to talk religion, I want to be in that conversation. That’s cool. I’m just telling you, for me, my boundaries. So I’m asking you as a listener, what are your boundaries? Now, Shredda, you had some questions for me kind of off air. I want to get into those. Yeah, I did, because Kory and I were talking before we started how you are so good at blocking your time. So I wanted you to elaborate on that because I think sometimes you may want to do a good job with your time. But what’s the mindset? How do you do it? Well, Casey is in our building. I just point to him often today because he’s here and I work with him now. But he gets it. I do not acknowledge the physical presence of people who are in the building who are not scheduled to meet with me. That’s true. It’s true. I just walk right by it. Because someone is paying me and I have to train myself because I used to. You’ve known me since I was 18, 19. I used to be like, hey, what’s up? How are you doing? And then what that does is now the person who is paying you is like, what are you doing? So I’m very focused. I can get usually two or three times more in a meeting than most people can get done in a week because I go, go, go, go, go. Some people might think, oh my goodness, I couldn’t do that because that’s going to offend people or they’re going to think this, that or the other. But you know one thing that I’ve noticed Clay about being around you is that I’ve just grown to expect that and I know that you are so on task that I know when to come and chat with you and when you’re going to be engaged and focused on what it is you’re doing. And I think that most people that are around you get that and they’re not a problem with it. I’m saying that to the people that might think that, whoa, that seems extreme. We are talking about one of the most talented individuals I’ve met at time management. Well, I’m going to say this now. This is the final little part I want to tell you about setting boundaries of people. I no longer at all at any point ever care about how other people feel. I just care about holding myself accountable to one person, God, right? So the deity known as God, my wife, that’s it. So I hold myself accountable to that standard and if you don’t like it, it’s cool. You don’t have to hire me, you don’t have to use me, but if you hire me, you will know that I will run through a wall for you and I am focused on you and I’m not checking text messages in our meeting. When we come back, we’re going to talk about move number three. You want to know what move number three is? Stay tuned. What is going on, Tulsa? It’s the Thrive Time Show on your Drive Time home. My name is Clay Clark. I am your co-host with the most, the former SBA Entrepreneur of the Year. In your ear, joined here with Ms. Sherita Bent and Mr. Cory Minter with Trinity Employment. We’re talking about six moves to properly set boundaries at work and in your personal life. We were talking about move number two, set boundaries with the people with whom you choose to engage. And before we move on to move number three, become comfortable with saying no, we’re going to go back to move number two just for a minute here because I’m going to read you a notable quotable that when I read this the first time, it set me free. It set me free. Now, I’m going to read this to you. When I read, I want you to kind of slow rotisserie marinate on it. So here we go. But you are the average of the five people, again, you are the average of the five people you associate with most. No, not the person next to you, you who’s driving the car, you associate with most. So do not underestimate the effects of pessimistic, unambitious, or disorganized friends. If somebody isn’t making you stronger, they’re making you weaker. So here we go. I’m going to break it down. Who said that? That’s Tim Ferriss, the author of the 4-Hour Workweek. So I’m going to give you comments that were said to me I wrote down today, and I want you to react and unpack them. Here we go. Okay. One, somebody said to me, why are you so anal? If you save a file wrong in Dropbox, you are causing me anger. You will save a file correctly with the proper nomenclature or you are an enemy of the state. I will never run around and ask somebody, where is that file? If you put a pen in the wrong place, a shark knows she’s got a drawer filled with red markers because I only use red markers on my to-do list. I do not use any other color. Everything has to be the right way. People say you’re anal, but that’s why I get so much done. I never run around the office looking for stuff. But don’t you think people who make those comments, in my experience, there are people who are not getting things done? Usually, right? Let me tell you who’s criticism I listen to. Dr. Zellner. Let me give you an example of who’s criticism I listen to. David Robinson. Let me give you a David Robinson story. He’s one of our investors. He’s an NBA Hall of Famer. He used to play for the San Antonio Spurs. He’s hard to miss. He’s seven feet tall. The Admiral. Yeah. This is what David says to me. He says, Clay, before we invest in your business, I’d like you guys to come on down to San Antonio. Basically, he wanted to meet my wife. Okay. That’s awesome. And he wanted to know what kind of person I was as a husband, as a father. He wanted to know because why does he want to know that? Why did he want to know? David Robinson, a guy, if you Google him, he started a school called the George Washington Carver Academy. He could have named it after himself, but he didn’t. It provides unbelievable education for inner city kids. It’s a full-time school he built. It’s now a series of charter schools. He’s donated tons of money. He’s a class act. He’s done things the right way. Why do you think he wanted to know these kind of things about my family. What would be a guess? Yeah, well I guess seeing someone, seeing their family, seeing how they interact with them, seeing you in a natural environment. Because you can pretend to be anybody on the phone or via email. But seeing who are you really. I think he was wanting to try to figure out who he might be partnering with. Is this somebody that he would enjoy being around? Is this someone that would inspire him to be better? That would encourage him to be better? As a family man, he wants to surround himself with people that are like-minded. He needed to see outside of your business persona, I believe. So could it be said that I could hurt his brand if I was a nefarious bad person? Yeah, definitely. So he wanted to know that. And you know what? David has always held himself to a high standard and he didn’t fit in with Dennis Rodman. Now Dennis Rodman was on his team. He respected him. He played with him. He speaks highly of Dennis. But they’re not hanging out going to clubs in North Korea together. You know Dennis Rodman, he’s our diplomat. We can’t get a U.S. diplomat in North Korea. Dennis Rodman has all sorts of limits. He’s got all access in there. But David has chosen to set himself apart not as a judgmental thing. He’s a super great guy. Right. But he’s wanted to set the right standard. In the NBA, very few players stay married. He stayed married the entire time. He’s a great guy. He’s still married. Yeah. He’s all about family first. And he’s been very, very intentional in our conversations about putting family first. Is that labeled as judgmental? Today, someone told me, you’re so judgmental. OK, so I am. Yeah. Fine. What does that mean? I’m a referee you’re out of bounds I call you right fine right am I a bad ref cuz I called you how many people think the referee Oh referee Thank you for calling the game accurate tonight. I’m glad I said my son was out of bounds JT do you know what time it is? 410 it’s It’s Tebow time in Tulsa, baby Tim Tebow is coming to Tulsa, Oklahoma during the month of Christmas, December 5th and 6th, 2024.

Hello I’m Michael Levine and I’m talking to you right now from the center of Hollywood, California, where I have represented over the last 35 years 58 Academy Award winners, 34 Grammy Award winners, 43 New York Times bestsellers. I’ve represented a lot of major stars, and I’ve worked with a lot of major companies, and I think I’ve learned a few things about what makes them work and what makes them not work. Now, why would a man living in Hollywood, California, in the beautiful, sunny weather of L.A., come to Tulsa? Because last year I did it and it was damn exciting. Clay Clark has put together an exceptional presentation, really life-changing, and I’m looking forward to seeing you then. I’m Michael Levine. I’ll see you in Tulsa. Thrive Time Show two-day interactive business workshops are the world’s highest rated and most reviewed business workshops because we teach you what you need to know to grow. You can learn the proven 13-point business systems that Dr. Zellner and I have used over and over to start and grow successful companies. When we get into the specifics, the specific steps on what you need to do to optimize your website. We’re going to teach you how to fix your conversion rate. We’re going to teach you how to do a social media marketing campaign that works. How do you raise capital? How do you get a small business loan? We teach you everything you need to know here during a two-day, 15-hour workshop. It’s all here for you. You work every day in your business, but for two days you can escape and work on your business and build these proven systems so now you can have a successful company that will produce both the time freedom and the financial freedom that you deserve. You’re going to leave energized, motivated, but you’re also going to leave empowered. The reason why I built these workshops is because, as an entrepreneur, I always wish that I had this. And because there wasn’t anything like this, I would go to these motivational seminars, no money down, real estate, Ponzi scheme, get motivated seminars, and they would never teach me anything. It was like you went there and you paid for the big chocolate Easter bunny, but inside of it, it was a hollow nothingness. And I wanted the knowledge, and they’re like, oh, but we’ll teach you the knowledge after our next workshop. And the great thing is we have nothing to upsell. At every workshop, we teach you what you need to know to learn how to start and grow a business. I encourage you to not believe what I’m saying. And I want you to Google the Z66 auto auction. I want you to Google elephant in the room. Look at Robert Zellner and Associates. Look them up and say, are they successful because they’re geniuses? Or are they successful because they have a proven system? When you do that research, you will discover that the same systems that we use in our own business can be used in your business. Come to Tulsa, book a ticket, and I guarantee you it’s gonna be the best business workshop ever, and we’re gonna give you your money back if you don’t love it. We’ve built this facility for you, and we’re excited to see you. And now you may be thinking, what does it actually cost to attend an in-person, two-day interactive Thrive Time Show business workshop? Well, good news, the tickets are $250 or whatever price that you can afford. What? Yes, they’re $250 or whatever price you can afford. I grew up without money and I know what it’s like to live without money, so if you’re out there today and you want to attend our in-person, two-day interactive business workshop, all you got to do is go to thrivetimeshow.com to request those tickets. And if you can’t afford $250, we have scholarship pricing available to make it affordable for you. I learned at the Academy in Kings Point, New York, octa non verba. Watch what a person does, not what they say. Good morning, good morning, good morning. Harvard Keosak University Radio Show. Today I’m broadcasting from Phoenix, Arizona, not Scottsdale, Arizona. They’re close, but they’re completely different worlds. And we have a special guest today. The definition of intelligence is if you agree with me, you’re intelligent. And so this gentleman is very intelligent. I’ve done his show before also, but very seldom do you find somebody who lines up on all counts as Mr. Clay Clark is a friend of a good friend, Eric Trump, but we’re also talking about money, bricks, and how screwed up the world can get in a few and a half hour. So Clay Clark is a very intelligent man, and there’s so many ways we could take this thing, but I thought since you and Eric are close, Trump, what were you saying about what Donald, who’s my age, and I can say or cannot say? Well, first of all, I have to honor you, sir. I want to show you what I did to one of your books here. There’s a guy named Jeremy Thorn, who was my boss at the time. I was 19 years old, working at Faith Highway. I had a job at Applebee’s, Target, and DirecTV. And he said, Have you read this book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad? And I said, No. And my father, may he rest in peace, he didn’t know these financial principles. So I started reading all of your books and really devouring your books. And I went from being an employee to self-employed to the business owner, to the investor. And I owe a lot of that to you. And I just wanted to take a moment to tell you, thank you so much for allowing me to achieve success. And I’ll tell you all about Eric Trump. I just want to tell you, thank you, sir, for changing my life. Well, not only that, Clay, thank you, but you’ve become an influencer. More than anything else, you’ve evolved into an influencer where your word has more and more power. So that’s why I congratulate you on becoming. Because as you know, there’s a lot of fake influencers out there, or bad influencers. Anyway, I’m glad you and I agree so much, and thanks for reading my books. That’s the greatest thrill for me today, not thrill, but recognition is when people, young men especially, come up and say, I read your book, changed my life, I’m doing this, I’m doing this, I’m doing this.
