| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Entrepreneurs Playbook. I'm here at Raleigh in Indianapolis and ran into one of my |
| 0:06.3 | favorites out there, Jonathan Isaac. Welcome to the Playbook. Thank you so much for having me. |
| 0:12.1 | I have a mission of empowering over a billion people to make a lot of money, help a lot of people, |
| 0:19.0 | and have a lot of fun. Because I have never met anyone. |
| 0:22.3 | I ran the most notable sports agency in the world, Lee Steinberg in Sports and Entertainment. |
| 0:26.5 | Warren Moon and I started a global sports marketing company. And I've never met anyone who makes a lot of |
| 0:31.9 | money, helps a lot of people with it, and has a lot of fun that isn't happy. Gotcha. And so I'm looking for young leaders like yourself who obviously get it. |
| 0:41.5 | And so I wanted to start in that perspective, life doesn't go your way all the time. |
| 0:47.0 | Right. And just because you have a lot of money, I'm looking at someone who lost over |

I always say, money doesn't make you happy, but it allows you to shop. Yeah, that's true. That's true. It definitely lets you do that until you get pretty much everything that you want. |
| 1:43.4 | When you start buying shit, |
| 1:44.2 | you don't need to impress people |
| 1:45.4 | you don't like, you're screwed. |
| 1:46.9 | And then there's no space to buy anything That's true. It definitely lets you do that until you get pretty much everything that you want. Well, you start buying cheat. You don't need to impress people you don't like. You're screwed. |
