Summary
I love this clip! Rabbi Daniel Lapin discusses how cultural conditioning has clouded our perception of money as well as our ability to earn it. If you perceive money in a negative way, you will never have an abundance of it.
However, if you earn money in an honorable, moral way that serves another human being — and that human being VOLUNTARILY gave you the money — then every single dollar you earn is proof of your service and performance. Don’t let anyone convince you otherwise.

| 0:00.0 | Yo, today's QODS. Money is a certificate of performance. Here we go. |
| 0:30.0 | Welcome back to the quarter of the day show. I'm your host, Sean Crox and a |
| 0:35.8 | Sean Crox and dot com. We got a brand new speaker on the show today. His name |
| 0:39.8 | is Rabbi Daniel Lapin. And I could not wait to share this clip with you. It's |
| 0:45.2 | it's probably my favorite money clip of all time. And I've been reading Rabbi |
| 0:51.0 | Lapin's book over the last couple of weeks. It's called Dowshell Prosper, the |
| 0:54.4 | Ten Commandments for getting rich. I highly recommend that you pick it up and |
| 0:57.0 | read it. And it's about Jewish culture and how Jewish culture has been so |
| 1:02.2 | important for the success of Jewish people despite discrimination. And he |
| 1:07.6 | talks about how like early in the book, he talks about how Jewish people aren't |
| 1:12.1 | raised with a bunch of money blocks. Like they learn in the Torah, if I remember |
| 1:16.3 | correctly, that the eighth thing that God called good was gold, which was money. |
| 1:22.7 | So Jewish people don't have issues with money. They're like, hey, we go out |
| 1:26.3 | there, we serve people, we build businesses, we help people solve their |
| 1:30.3 | problems and we get money in return. Like that's just the way it works. And we do |
| 1:34.4 | it in a moral, honorable, noble way. And there's nothing wrong with that. But |
| 1:39.3 | he also talks about typical American culture, how, you know, when you watch |
| 1:44.1 | movies or you watch TV shows, like when was the last time you saw a character |
| 1:49.5 | who was an honorable business person? Like you never see that anymore. Like |
| 1:54.9 | almost all of the business people on TV are just greedy, miserable people. And so |
| 1:59.3 | our outlook around money has completely changed. Our outlook around business |
| 2:04.5 | is not ideal, which is one of the reasons why we have such hangups around money, |
