[0:00]Excuse me, sir. Sir, how did you get rich?
[0:04]I sold a couple of companies. How many, man? How did you get rich? I sold four companies. One to Warren Buffett, one to Coca-Cola.
[0:10]How much money did you make? Like, what was the most amount of money you made in a single year?
[0:13]A lot of money. A lot of money. Come on, man. I worked hard to keep that private. Could I interview you for a minute, man? I go all over the world and even the venture. Sure. I know who you are, man. Come on. You sold a company to Warren Buffett. What did you learn from doing business with Warren Buffett?
[0:25]You get rich slowly. And it took me a long time.
[0:28]23. How old are you? You will make 20 times more money in your 40s than you're making now.
[0:33]How much money do you make now? You ask everybody how much money they make. How much money are you making, James? What's the biggest year you've had?
[0:39]So my business is going to make well over $10 million this year.
[0:42]At 23? 23. I promise you. Can I invest in you now? I don't know. Wait, you guys are making $10 million a year now? Over, over $10 million. Is it safe to say that your company's probably worth $80 to $100 million now?
[0:54]You want to sell 10% of it. We could set up a call after this. No, no, no, let's do it right now. I'll give you my contact. Let's shark tank this sh*t right now. I'll give you my contact. So what is the number one thing that you look for? No, let's go back to that, James. I'll give you a check for $10 million today. Talk to your partners. You guys give me 10%. Think about it.
[1:10]So you were just willing to give me a $10 million check? What is the number one thing that you look for in people when you're deciding to invest into them?
[1:15]Hunger. I see you out there hustling, the way you approached me. You are the business plan.
[1:20]So you don't invest in businesses, you invest in people? 100%. Do you think everybody's built for entrepreneurship? No. Why not? What, what percentage of the population do you think is really cut out for entrepreneurship?
[1:28]Small. It's lonely being an entrepreneur. The pressure is real, and you have to be able to deal with that.
[1:34]Everybody's not wired like that. If me and you died tomorrow, and you had one more message to leave with the younger generation, what would that be?
[1:40]At the end of the day, we only have one job, and that's stay healthy.
[1:43]I just saw a young billionaire die the other day at 43 years old.
[1:46]Couldn't beat cancer. If you have $1 billion and you have a sore throat, every time you swallow, the only thing you think about is your sore throat. And there's an old saying, if you have health, you have hope. If you have hope, you have everything. Stay healthy.
[1:58]You have amazing advice, sir. Thank you so much for your. Keep doing what you're doing. 10%. Can I get your contact? 100%. I want your contact. You have the best rolodex in America, man.
