We're going to have all kinds of guests on their billionaires, millionaires, athletes, actors, you name and we're going to have them on here. They're going to be talking about their success, their struggles, their life, their hardship. |
| 0:21.7 | I'm going to talk about my success, my struggle, my life, my hardship. |
| 0:25.4 | So tune in. |
| 0:30.1 | Bam! |
| 0:33.7 | Bam! |
| 0:34.3 | Jason Waller here with the band podcast. |
| 0:36.9 | It's business, attitude, and money. And I've got a close friend here, a podcast master. And I just found out recently, he also used to be a coach for business folks out there and entrepreneurs out there. My man, he has the best show out there right now, the Jordan Harbinger show. How you doing, Jordan? Hey, man, thanks for having me on. Dude, you turn that energy on like Guy Fierry. Go to Flavortown. Well, dude, it's in me. And the deal is, I drink a little bit of caffeine a day. Never done any hardcore drugs. Trust me, I've thought about it. Ask the wife, I'm like, should I try Coke? And she's like, no, you'll explode. |
| 1:12.4 | So I've stayed away from all the hardcore stuff. You might explode. Also, you know, it's a little late. I'll speak for myself, but I'll speak for you too. It's a little late in the game for us to be dabbling with the white powders, my friend. You're probably right. We're around the same age, too. |
| 1:08.7 | That's the crazy thing. |
| 1:09.6 | I'm 43, and if I try anything that is not something I'm used to, my friend. You're probably right. We're around the same age, too. That's the crazy thing. |
| 1:27.6 | I'm 43, and if I try anything that is not something I'm used to, I'm in deep trouble. I guarantee |
| 1:33.1 | you it's going to be like... And then can you imagine the pathetic headline? Like, aging podcaster |
| 1:38.8 | well past his prime, dies from something he should have known better than to try. Oh my gosh, |
| 1:43.8 | that would be a crazy headline. And, you know, it's interesting because I've always been intrigued with people doing things that I was scared to do, right? Like when edibles came out and I'm like, honey, like, can I try marijuana? And she's like, no, you don't remember 15 years ago when, 20 years ago when you screwed up everybody's high. And I'm like, it'll be fine. And I hung out with a lot of NFL players. And by the way, the NFL players, they all get high. Like contrary to what everybody thinks, they are on it. And a buddy of mine gave me a chocolate bar I thought was a five and it was a 50. And I was sick for two days, puke and I said, never again am I ever doing this again? That's terrible. No, I know it's funny. The NFL guys are an interesting breed because they get tested for certain things at certain times or whatever it is. They're warned. They're like, hey, you get a month. Well, yeah. It's like cycle off your anabolic steroids or whatever it is. |
| 2:35.0 | I mean, I don't really know about that stuff, but my neighbor, I won't drop any names here. My neighbor was an NFL player and we were pretty tight. And I was just like, wow, you can do that. You can do that. You can do that. And he's like, well, we don't talk about it. But yeah. And then they, they, they, what they do is they invest in businesses that do X. |
| 2:34.4 | And it's like, ah, but yeah. And then they, they, what they do is they invest in businesses |
| 2:51.9 | that do X and it's like, ah, I see. So if you, if someone comes and there's a truckload of this in your house, you're just, that's one of my businesses. Oh yeah, it was one of these things are like, oh, you got this one. You're, well, it's one of the products that I invest sense, not a habit. There's all these little things. But I, you know what, I'm not even, I can't even |
| 2:51.4 | hate on it because it's like, the products that I invest in it's not a habit it's there's all these little things but I |
| 3:07.6 | you know what I'm not even I can't even hate on it because it's like I get it a lot of the stuff |
| 3:12.2 | they have to do is for optics and it's kind of it sucks because it's like maybe I can just |
