Bam! Welcome to the BAM podcast! That's right, business and money podcast coming to you live right now on TikTok.

So we've got a TikTok live going on this show. We'll come out sometime next week because I'm out of shit in the can.

I've done enough shows and traveled, then I took a lot of time off, and I am out of show.

So I'm actually here in the studio right now on a Saturday doing a show today about gratitude, right?

I put a post out today talking about gratitude, talking about being grateful for what you've got,

making sure you have that gratitude, making sure you don't forget about what you've got.

Don't be a glass half empty type person, be a glass half full type person, but stay hungry.

See, people like, just like I talk about confidence and arrogance, there's a thin line. There's also a thin line of gratitude and hunger. You want to have gratitude. You want to be grateful for the things that you've got in life, that you've accomplished in life. You can't compete and compare yourself to others. You can't look to the left and look to the right and go, oh, they got this or they did that, or look, they've got it easy.

Look what they drive.

Look what they live in.

Oh, my God, they're making this kind of money. Trust me, I could do that all fucking day. I'm like, holy shit, I could do that. There's people, I'm like, this asshole's got a $20 million house. What? However, you can't do that. You have to be proud and happy for these people that have had success.

You have to embrace success.

You have to do that. You have to be proud and happy for these people that have had success. You have to embrace success. You have to elevate success. You want to encourage people to be successful. And then you need to focus on beating you. That's right. Beating your ass from yesterday. So whatever the fuck you did yesterday, you want to crush it today. That's how it works. You are not competing with everybody on your left and everybody on your right. You're not competing with them. So quit getting on the social media, going through everything going, oh, look at this. Look what they did. Oh, this is bullshit. Look how they got that. You gotta stop. End that shit right now. If you're doing it, your spouse is doing it, your friends doing it, kids it your kids are doing it knock it off listen social media should be a platform for you to build your

brand and for you to get ideas it should not be a platform for you to sit there and fucking get

discouraged and have you know insecurity and not be confident and be like oh look what this guy's got

yeah of course they work their ass off.

Let them get it. But let me tell you, most of the shit you see is fake. You know how many posers out there I see that they're like, yeah, I make millions and I do this and I do that. And they don't do shit. Or I built this and they haven't built shit. So a lot of it's fake. So don't buy the fake news. Don't jump into it saying, hey, look, you know,

these guys have done that and I'm never going to get there. You can get wherever the fuck you

want to be. That's the greatest thing about this country. You can actually, I have seen some

fucking dumb ass sons of bitches make lots of money doing stupid shit. And I just go, good for them.

That means there's more opportunity for other people. I never get upset. I never go, what the hell, right? So you need to understand you're challenging yourself. You're competing with yourself. Gratitude and still being hungry, right? So we're going to talk about two things. We're going to talk about gratitude being hungry. We're going to talk about confidence and arrogance. We'll start with gratitude and being hungry. So I woke up this morning and I don't mean like I'm gratitude, I'm hungry, I'm ready to eat eggs. So no, it's something I'm talking about. I'm talking about being hungry in life, hungry to prosper, hungry to be successful, hungry for knowledge and learning and getting wisdom and succeeding and elevating and empowering and helping others and learning to serve. Like you got to have that kind of hunger, right? But I got up this morning. It was like fucking six o'clock and it's a Saturday. And I'm like, holy shit. Like it's Saturday at six o'clock. I'm exhausted. Or am I exhausted? Maybe I'm not exhausted. Those are the questions I was asking myself and I'm'm like, well, fuck it. You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to get up. I'm going to jump in the cold plunge real quick. And then I'm going to rinse off and then I'm going to go to the gym and then I'm going to go knock out this podcast and my ass will be home before 11 a.m. Well, it's almost 1 p.m. Eastern just so you know. And I got all my shit done, but I am hours behind.

And let me tell you how that happened.
