[English]

can you break down the business model of

PHP are you familiar with how

multi-level marketing works that's

Patrick Bet Davis you've probably seen

some of his videos on YouTube but do you

really know his story and how he's made

his million insurance is very hard like

what you're doing it's not hard work

today Patrick unpacks his journey from

escaping War zones it's just terrible

man one time we got bombed 167 times a

day pursuing the American dream of

Entrepreneurship I love America I love

capitalism I'm just going to get louder

to selling his company for nine figures

can you give us a ballpark of how much

you sold PHP for shy up $300 million

what was it like selling for hundreds of

millions of dollars incredible how' you

enjoy the money get a 200 foot yacht and

we go to Monaco and we're going to live

on the Yacht for 2 months what would you

say your net worth is with all the stuff

Equity everything I think I'm close to

it that's a lot of of money capital's on

work for the people that don't know you

can you share like in 30 seconds your

story yeah born and raised in Iran lived

there 10 years we escaped 6 weeks afteri

died went to Germany lived at a refugee

camp there for 2 years 18 months came to

the states November 28th 1990 went to

the Army was in the Army for 2 and a

half years H first Airborne aerosol got

out I went to school wanted to be a

bodybuilder I was going to go be Mr

Olympia and then I met a girl in N

Venice Beach she and I started dating

she was working on Morgan Stanley Dean

Witter I'm like you always got nice

cards you drive when you pick me up so

while I work at Morgan Stanley dewood

I'm an investment adviser I'm a

financial adviser I start with Morgan

Stanley Deanwood a day before 911 series

766 all the stock bonds all all the

things you could sell then I left Morgan

I went to Trans America World Financial

I'm there for 7 and a half years and

then after that October of 9th I started

my own insurance company I sold the

company a year and a half ago almost two

years ago and then accidentally started

a YouTube channel called value tment

turned into a podcast turned into a

consulting firm turn into product

development business and how we do a

bunch of different things through uh

line holding vitam and all of that can

can you share can you paint a little

picture of your childhood share a little

bit more about that cuz I I think I

heard you speaking German I you're in a

refugee camp but you said it was good

parents got parents got divorced and

married marri to each other twice when a

half a million people died in Iran I'm

living in capital tan the war is going

on between Iran Saddam Hussein I'm a

revolution baby was just terrible man we

getting one time we got bombed 167 times

165 times in a day eventually my mom's

like listen we got to take your son out

here out of Iran because he's 10 years

old the moment he's 12 he can't leave

because he's going to have to serve the

U Iranian military my that's a good idea

we left and you went to a refugee camp

in ger what's a refugee camp like dude I

mean it's it's you're around other

people that are trying to skipe

Communism socialism dictatorship a bunch

of guys that are trying to come to

America and we all have that in common

it's a dream to one day leave their

Homeland that they love to come

somewhere that they can be free of their

religion of the amount of money they

want to make of the strong opinions they

may want to have of the fact that they

can sit there and assemble and give

their thoughts their ideas fight compete

do all that stuff that's what we're

escaping from why did your family decide

to move we never had plans of living in

Germany even though we had family in

Germany man there's there was no no

opportunity there Germany was like the

pit stop to us how was it for your

family when you got to us dream first we

landed at New York the airport I'm

looking for Rocky I'm looking for

Goonies I'm looking for literally and

you come to La I'm living in Granada

Hills and you're like okay well we're

finally here let's make it work you'd

watch TV and you watch the news and you

see how open they are there there's a

business model to trashing presidents

and everybody's like oh my God you can

talk like this year yeah it's actually a

business model to to Media Free Press

we're not used to Free Press in Iran are

you kid Free Press you're going to get

killed there is no Free Press so all

these unique little things that you're

trying to adjust to and saying this is

kind of weird right it one makes you

realize wow this actually exists what

are my real dreams can I really build a

life like that so I was the kid that was

a dreamer but skeptical it's not going

to happen to me so I needed my belief

system to come up I need somebody to

believe in me but I was a dreamer always

one day what if one day what if one day

how do you think all that turmoil

impacted you long term or helped you as

an entrepreneur having you're in Iran

and you have to change to Germany and

they have come to America start all over

anytime you're trying to do something

big with your life you have to know if

you can truly handle if you're mentally

and emotionally tough sometimes in life

we want everything to be easy but you

need a little bit of the chaos and

Madness and craziness because that

either toughens you up or guess what you

realize you're not meant to do something

really big and with a lot of pressure to

it and then it kind of stays here and

you either use that as a field to do

something with it or you don't I

eventually ended up using it how was it

for you guys when you were in America

did you guys feel poor very poor my dad

was a cashier at a 99 cent store in

Englewood California right next to Great

Western form we were welfare babies we

had nothing going on but you know we're

just happy to be in America what was

high school like for you I loved it

never missed a day school never I had a

1.8 GPA but I never missed a d School

1.8 I had a one point in GP in school I

love math I love pre-calculus I love

math analysis and I could car less about

anything else anything else all I loved

was numbers and math and people it seems

like you you liked selling things you

had Big Dreams but I'm kind of curious

and surprised you went to the military

at that point versus I think where you

went after the military I was kind of

surprised you didn't go there first

military for me was an escape I was

trying to get the hell out of glendle a

lot of bad things were going on at the

time so for me it was kind of like to

just get away from everybody one night

I'm at my sister's house and I'm at the

apartment I'm in the jacuzzi with a

bunch of my friends we partying we're

being very loud we finish up at 4: 5:00

in the morning next day she's about to

get evicted and I'm upstairs I sleep in

I got to go to my job Burger King in

glendel California off of central I go

downstairs to get my car and my car that

my mom left me behind Chevy Toyota

Corolla silver one 1983 was stolen and I

call my dad in a moment I'm sitting the

balcony I said Dad I'm joining the Army

says what do you mean I says come pick

me up take me to glendel we go to

glendel I talk to Asus G I said if you

can get me in the Army tomorrow I'm in

he said it's going to take three months

after a bunch of calls two weeks later I

was in South Carolina Fort Jackson boom

calling my mom who was in Iran saying

mom I got 30 seconds love you but I'm in

the US Army what I got to let you go

click never look back best decision I

made joining the Army I wouldn't be

where I'm at right now if I don't join

the Army what was the experience like it

was great because I was forced to make

friends with people from all walks of

life who have never met a middle eastern

before it got me to learn how to talk to

different people from different walks of

life but you really learn about teamwork

camarad

having fun fighting for each other it's

a lot of great experiences I'm wondering

for people who aren't immigrants

necessarily or didn't join the military

but they want to learn some of these

different lessons like what would you

recommend them to do go in an

environment in a startup environment

with a guy that's being R by an operator

that's a maniacal guy that's hypomanic

that's not going to slow down and see

what it is like to survive in a startup

environment for the first three five

years and after five years if you can

make it there dude good for you respect

everybody wants to be part of a or I'd

love to be part of a startup working

with Elon Musk oh really yeah yeah okay

great you think is like working with an

Elon Musk the guy buys Twitter he buys

turns it into X day one 7500 employees

day two he fires 3750 day three 1,50

people quit day four he's left with 2250

and you want to work with that guy yeah

but he I bet it's such a great

experience I bet playing with Michael

Jordan was such a dream go watch the

last stands if you're lucky enough to

work in that kind of an En environment

for 5 to 10 years you're you're a human

specimen what you're going to be able to

do and what you're going to be able to

take from people you're bulletproof but

regardless your market value increases

if you can be in a place like that so if

you don't want to do military go in an

environment where it's high octane High

intense nonstop see how you react so

when you left the military there there's

some things I'm excited to get to the

PHP and some of the things you've been

been up to these years but what were

those years like before PHP and what did

you learn through them like I think you

worked at a at a gym then you worked at

a Morgan stanle B was awesome we had the

smallest Club in America I think well we

won the Triple Crown Triple Crown is

membership sales personal training sales

and supplements we killed everybody with

a small club because we had such a

United team and so from there they took

me out and they put me in uh Hollywood

which was the biggest Club in El Centro

and then from there they sent me to

chadsworth I got a promotion and we took

it from 42% of the goal to 118% 115% the

goal and that's when my moment came and

I said I think I'm going to be a general

man of a club one day and I'm eventually

going to be a supervisor making $2

$300,000 a year and my boss Robbie came

in I said what do I need to do to be the

weekend assistant manager of Hollywood

CU I want to go back to that pays

$55,000 you're just pays 40 I won that

job he says if you beat Edwin Gera you

have that job Edwin's at a big club I'm

at a small Club I end up beating Edwin G

at a smaller Club I was number eight he

was number 10 I beat him you told me if

I beat him I get I get El Centra weekend

assistant he says I no but we had to

give it to Edwin I said why is that

tenure so you didn't think I was going

to beat him did you you didn't think I

was going to beat him I said well you

told me that's my job so I can't give it

to you I said I quit I can't do that bro

my dad taught me that you know keep your

W you ain't keeping your W with me I

can't trust you I got to move on and I

left lost everything I in that

$49,000 a year later yeah a year later I

call Robbie begging for a job he gives

me the worst position in the world I'm

working at Hollywood opening The Club at

4:00 in the morning till noon who do you

buys gym memberships from 4 to noon

nobody in no one ever goes buying a

membership everybody buys a gym

membership after 6 that morning made me

realize how bad I don't want to be there

5 months later quit my job went in uh

Financial Services with World Financial

working 800 hours a week literally 7

days a week I work seven days a week for

God knows how many years 10 15 years and

then all of a sudden crazy things

started happening first time of my life

I made

8,495 in a month May of 2004 I go show

my dad I said Dad I just made

$8,495 how I said selling insurance that

was the last day my dad ever reached in

his pocket to pay for anything that he

ever went out with me what was your Peak

salary or money you were making when you

had the job at at is it Trans America or

World Finance Trans America World

Financial Group is a part part of what

was your top like yearly C with that shy

of half a million I'm making probably

450 430 a year and so you transitioned

into that because you saw that there was

more money from that doing the

financials versus working at the gyms

and when you quit back

I knew I was going to do sales and I

wanted to be somewhere where I was

appreciated so you're making half a

million dollars life is good and then

one day you're like hey they're not

taking me seriously yeah I'm done

because I went to Atlanta to meet with

them on all their lawyers and I told

them I said I'm here because of one of

four things going to happen today I'm I

going to stay here and be the COO of the

company number two I'm going to sell my

business and walk away I'm going to

linger around and find something else to

do or I'm going to leave and start my

own company and be direct competitor but

I'm going to make that decision at the

end of this meeting and they said you'll

never never leave I said I'll never

leave says no everybody that comes to

the room like this comes to us they want

money from us and we always give them

money and then they stay you're not

going anywhere you have too good of a

job and I say you need to tell me to

Vision the company CU if you don't have

a vision I don't think you have a vision

with the I think you're lost because

you're so wealthy and you have money now

you just want to play golf and kick it

and relax I don't think you when you

want to te it up the guy would I trusted

respected about the fact that 30 minutes

later he flat out told me you're right I

don't know what I want to do with the

company I said I can't be in a company

can you break down the business model of

PHP it's a high volume recruiting model

so I took what I learned from Bal so Bal

to me was a very scripted environment

everything was scripted so I realize in

every product you ever sell you need an

FAQ so I created an FAQ for term for

perm for annuity for the opportunity for

investors for everybody once you know

the FAQs you just have to know the FAQs

and then I worked at World Financial

World Financial taught me the concept of

high volume recruiting if I'm looking to

build a business to sell if I'm a

personal pror producer and I make $3

million a year no one's going to buy my

business cuz they have to buy me and I

don't want to sell for the rest of my

life I saw a massive niche of nobody was

targeting Middle America Hispanics

African-Americans we became 54% Hispanic

while America's only 24% we became 24%

African-American while America's only

133% and then we became you know 51%

Millennial 34 years old young and the

insurance industry isn't that and that's

not the case and I said let's Roll High

volume recruiting high volume recruiting

and then we created the the licensing

the bonuses the tiers that we would pay

bonuses on and then all of a sudden we

moved people from California to Texas to

Chicago to Florida and then once I had

guys spread across the country then we

started recruiting this way and then we

eventually ended up being in all states

so taking a step back on this on PHP

business model sounds like half the

business is in the recruiting kind of an

MLM of sort network marketing model and

half is in actual profit from selling

the insurances am I understanding that

correct no nobody makes money from

recruiting so for example are you

familiar with how multi-level marketing

works I'm trying to understand it

because I think that's sometimes what

people have said about okay so when you

think about multi-level marketing who do

you think about what companies do you

think aboutway okay and we is A1 billion

company so in MLM there is unil level

there is bin binary there is Matrix okay

if you want to I don't know if you're

interested no I don't know if I want to

do the whole thing just high level yeah

so in un level companies that last long

term nobody can get paid money from

recruiting you have to make money that's

a pyramid scheme so what Ponzi scheme

was about I'll give you

$250 you keep $100 of it but then you go

get three people that you get

$250 you get $100 but I get 50 and if

they go get that's a Ponzi skin but the

the business model part I'm still trying

to understand cuz you said it's no one

makes money from the licensing or the

selling so which no one makes money from

recruiting you only make money I don't

make money if I recruit you I only make

money if I recruit you and get you

licensed and get you to sell so I can

override you or if I sell you a product

but just recruiting you I don't make any

money what was your first year sales of

PHP and then what were the the last $2

million so in 2009 did 2 million what

did you end up in 2022 little over 100

million 120 million it's a good siiz

business but insurance is very hard like

what you're doing is not hard work it's

work but you're smart you're wise I I I

had to learn how to do that insurance is

very hard that that's why I was curious

the pitch I was just kind of curious how

you sell insurance like cuz I'm having I

have a wife and we're about to have a

kid and I'm like I think I might need

insurance so I'm curious I feel like you

have a solid pitch about a wife but but

but an insurance for you okay the

average person is making 80 grand a year

homem maker bread winner you need a quar

million dollar life insurance policy to

half a million dollar life insurance

policy you're buying that CU God forbid

if something happens to you what's your

wife going to do taking care of the two

kids we had a guy named hopo who's our

manager at El El Torito in enino we go

to him 38 year old guy with three kids

wife didn't speak English guy's making

$65,000 at Al Torito $70,000 at Al

Torito we sit down and we talk to him my

guy named Tony says hey aopo you need

insurance what happens to your wife if

you don't have any insurance the guy

says I know what you're doing you're

trying to pin my wife against me next

week he dies he was 38 years old with

three kids and wife didn't speak English

what the hell is his wife going to be

doing he could have bought a quar

million dollar policy for $40 a month

she would have $250 she had to go marry

any guy just because he could pay the

bills any guy can you imagine he's

watching down from heaven and saying

babe how could you marry a guy like that

well babe you didn't buy life insurance

policy I was forced to marry Julio

that's what happens with insurance it's

not for you it's for the 90% of America

that desperately needs it you're worth

money though so you don't really need

insurance except for taxes so for a guy

like you you're only buying insurance so

your kids and your wife doesn't have to

pay the taxes when you die you're not

buying Insurance to protect money like a

guy like you goes to the insurance agent

and gets as much insurance as you can

cuz it's nothing to you it's so cheap

literally you not how much money it is

for you like right now if you were to

say how much is a $10 million insurance

policy 42 years old 10 million are you a

smoker no you drink alcohol yeah you

drink a lot or not a lot one or two a

day okay so I'm going to put your in

come at 2 million a year let's just say

you haven't told me this I'm just

putting it up there household retirement

whatever household debt whatever you're

probably going to be getting a$1 million

policy for th000 bucks a month what's

$112,000 a year to you nothing if

something happens to you they have to

pay taxes that 10 million goes to the

wife to pay for the taxes you're not

buying it because your wife needs your

life insurance policy can you give us a

ballpark of how much you sold PHP for oh

yeah I'll uh uh shy up $300 million by

the time the whole thing is over with

with our earnout and everything that

we're doing it's going to end up being

more than $300 million what was it like

selling for hundreds of millions of

dollars incredible we were at Monaco

when we found out the money is being

wired to Goldman Sachs my wife and I are

having breakfast The Way We Cried during

that breakfast was priceless because

we've made money but we've never had

multi- figure type of money that's when

you kind of sitting there and saying hey

family was really calling now they're

really going to be calling you're going

to find out you had you never knew about

right but it was a moment where 6 months

of me being on the road her doing

payroll a day after we had a baby and

she's sitting at the hospital while the

baby sitting there she's doing payroll

for everybody you go through those types

of you you you go to those days and you

realize how much we sacrifice how much

we almost lost it all and the fears the

anxieties the insecurities a husband and

wife sees each other in that nobody else

knows that Bond you can't describe so

that was the most unique moment we had

when when we're sitting across from each

other saying hey it's official yeah

great feeling how did you uh how did you

treat yourself how didd you enjoy the

money it's funny saying this I I keep

telling everybody I'm like babe when we

sell it I'm telling you right now babe

I'm going to get a 200 foot yacht and we

go to Monaco and we're going to live on

the Yacht for two months we're just

going to relax and all this other stuff

anyways it happened we came back to work

and of course we said celebrated we did

a lot of different things for ourselves

for our families Investments different

opportunities Yankees ownership places

we've gone with the kids our Christmas

has become incredible the stuff that

we're doing when we're creating

Traditions with the family but we

already had a great life I already was

living in a $30 million home driving a

million dollar Ferrari had bunch of nice

clothes we go to the nicest restaurants

we've been all over the world 40 plus

countries it wasn't like dramatically

was going to change this was now about

really asking yourself you really think

you're a big thinker let's see what

you're going to do now cuz you don't

have to work anymore let's see Mr pbd if

you're a big thinker oh we're going to

really learn about you now and that was

the best exercise for us can you tell me

more about buying the stin in the can

you tell me more about buying the stin

stin why am I get stin stank the stank

in the Yankees the stank in the Yankees

the Stak in the Yankees yeah I mean I'm

I'm a big baseball card guy I love

baseball I'm like the kid who when I

have a baseball card I just I'm in a

whole different place and I always was a

fan of Mickey mano's 1952 Tops rookie

card I made a an offer for $19 million

to PSA 10 the guy turned me down he

knows who he is and then I said okay let

me see what's going to happen I got a

call from a guy who knew I wanted to be

a minority owner for sports team because

longterm I'd like to be a majority owner

I think I'd make a very good owner of a

team he says hey I got some teams that

there's some spots on said give me the

names he gives it to me I said no I'm

not interested he said who are you

interested in said really it's only

three teams I'm interested in he said

give me the names Yankees Lakers

Dodgers that's really in so maybe I

would entertain Raiders and they call me

back for Raiders I'm like I'm good then

he calls me back a year later 6 months

later he says a guy who was on the board

of the Yankees is selling what do you

want to do I said what is it he said

well you got to go through an MLB

background check all this stuff 15

months it took for me to go through the

background check there's a Yankees

background check there's an MLB

background check eventually Yankees two

weeks before the announcement they asked

me to fly out to New York for me to

interview see guys I'm very loud I talk

a lot about politics I love America I

love capitalism I'm just going to get

louder so one want you to know this you

can't call me tell me to be quiet I'm

very loud and they're like as long as

you don't tell us who to trade for who

do do this and you realize he's the boss

we're going to be fine I said then

that's it and then we agreed we shook

hands great conversation they took us to

the Stein burner sweet the owner sweet

incredible Yankees you know history

giving us private tour on the field

everything and obviously now you know

it's it's a great experience because

we'll go we go to Hampton's get in the

helicopter go to Yankees game watch the

game come back I mean it's a dream it's

it's one of those things that you know

it's truly a dream do you fly only

private now I only fly private now what

kind of plane do you have oh I don't I

don't have a plane yet I haven't bought

a plane because we're looking at buying

a property that has a hanger where we

can put the plane there but I don't want

to buy the plane I want to buy the

property first with a hanger God willing

and then we put it there now I don't

have a I have a guy I use and he books

me typically with these three planes

that I use and I Char her all the time

how much do you think you spent a year

on planes couple million awesome

I told my wife I was like baby 50 like I

that's all I want to fly as PR like I

got we were in line security yesterday

was 30 minutes I was like I'm going to

work harder not harder just to work

harder but it's like what a luxury of

life to be able to afford that be able

to take other people yeah do those

things what was the best advice you ever

received now that you're worth nine

figures in life it's a different story

than it is to be nine figures nine

figures was truly reading Blue Ocean

strategy I'm telling you when I read

Blue Ocean strategy it was powerful

because it made me realize cuz this one

guy was saying we're going to be a

holistic model we're going to sell

everything under the sun and blue ocean

says that's the worst way to do it pick

and choose your Niche instead of being

in a red ocean choose a blue ocean stop

trying to directly compete with

everybody compete like this don't

compete like this once I figured that

part out I said game we're good my

confidence went up and I said I can pull

this off I think I can pull this off and

then it was just going then I saw our

blue ocean was the right one and then it

was game over and then I combined

content creation and I never once sold

Insurance to anybody from value tment

never once but the moment value tment

became something I was creating content

on a side and then accidentally we took

off and then all of a sudden we got a

million subscribers you know whatever

the people show up life of an

entrepreneur goes viral interviews come

up Podcast comes up then that part's

growing then everybody's like what so

these two are the same thing they are

wow man I love your stuff great so that

those are your values and principles

yeah that's how you build this company

and yeah I'd have to be part of a

company like that natural organically it

was taking place so that was that was

probably one of the biggest thing for me

was the Blue Ocean strategy and today

you have eight businesses can you break

down these eight businesses in the

revenue that you're at yeah so insurance

is the ninth one okay but let's set that

aside because I got a couple more months

left for earnout I'm still a full-time

Co to that company by the way till today

then you got bed Consulting B div

consultant will be a unicorn probably

within 18 to 24 months eight years ago

when I was doing uh content we got like

100,000 subscribers or whatever it is

2016 say we got 100,000 Subs 200,000

Subs Mario one day calls me says Pat

some guy's calling says he wants to hire

you at his a consultant he's asking me

what your hourly rates are I said I

don't do no Consulting he I don't know

what to tell said just make up a number

and see what he tells you Mari goes by

I'm like I'm running an insurance

company I don't even know how to take a

payment from you goes up to the guy he

says

$55,000 he comes back he said Pat he

booked three hours I said you're kidding

me no I said what does he want to do

with me me he just got questions for you

is he in the insurance industry not at

all what does he do Transportation

you're kidding me no now I don't even

know if I can help you you understand

what I'm saying like I'm like walking

and saying why the hell you paid me

$115,000 spend three hours with you but

that people don't know about it's a lot

what would you say your net worth is

with all the stuff Equity everything

like halfon yeah I think I'm close to

half a billion it could accelerate very

quickly depending on a couple big moves

if one of these things spreads that

thing can go fairly quickly but I would

say right now it's out a half a billion

that's a lot of money that's a lot of

capitalism works capitalism works it

does and I love that about America

America is the greatest country in the

world I fully agree with that I was

curious any poor performing assets

you've had or bad investment experiences

you know how much money I lost with

penny stocks wasted my time with like

not selling penny stocks so I'm the guy

that was buying penny stocks that

something could happen to them I have I

bought a clothing brand that I wasted my

money and time thinking I was going to

get it to be the next you know Burberry

or the next whatever now finally I'm

like specialize specialize specialize

the more I specialize the more I wanton

the more I generalized the more distract

that I got and more brain headaches

unnecessary stress specialize specialize

specialize how how do you get khabib and

how much did you pay for like khabib and

Tom br oh so let me give you that

breakdown with the with the speakers

yeah cuz you have these guys that I like

you have kabib on stage and I'm like I

never see kib in yeah no kabib doesn't

do anything well kib's manager is a good

friend so that's kind of unfair because

Ali and and and they follow the content

so it's not like funny story with kabib

I invite khabib to come speak at our PHP

conference yeah I saw it so while I'm

there interviewing him they're thinking

PHP hired me to interview him they have

no clue I own the company so they say to

me in the back what did they pay you to

interview me he says cuz I wanted to I'm

only doing this cuz you're interviewing

me I said bro I own the company so if

you think about some of the guys that

we've interviewed that we brought to

events we paid them it's not those like

seven figures what you have to pay for

no no Brady Brady somebody paid him 3.2

million we didn't but we paid him a good

change but we didn't pay him seven

figures but we had Kobe Kobe was a epic

interview that we did the late Kobe

Bryant a Shaq after our three four year

Feud and he blocked me he was upset that

was a fun one but anything we do with

podcast we don't pay only when we do on

stage because we're selling tickets

podcast we don't K one was legendary but

it's interesting cuz I saw I was

interviewed one he has so many he has

amazing morals I just love him as a man

like khabib I just feel like he's just

like he doesn't shake women's hands have

respect for his religion my wife comes

up he just stands like this does yeah

yeah the guy's the guy's a stut up

really yeah when you had khib and Brady

on stage at your conferences what did

you learn from them what do you still

take away to this day Brady is I don't

know why you know he he he plays like a

psycho competitor but an interview he's

diplomatic as much as I enjoy talking to

kabib on stage I enjoyed it 10 times

more behind stage such a great

conversation him another guy named Rez

Ali and by the way Muslims I'm a

Christian religion wise we're we had the

best conversation together you can tell

a lot by man on how much pride he has

and how much he defends his father he's

uh he's my kind of guy he's a stud

where'd you just go right there the

video of when he is trying to pick up

his dad and he can't pick up his dad and

I don't know if you've seen it or not

guys like I can never pick this man up

you know and and you go back when khabib

was a kid and he's wrestling with a bear

and his dad is he says brother I grew up

in the

mountains I grew up wrestling Bears you

think I'm worried about what you're

going to do to me here I'm going to

crush you I'm going to I mean you just

listen to him the way he is and

fatherson relationship to me is a

beautiful thing I think too many fathers

in America missed the mark since and

Lyndon Johnson came up with his policy

that destroyed the family nucleus in

1965 totally destroyed you know 4% of

kids in America used to be born to

single parent household in 1960 you know

what that number is today no idea 40%

40% of kids are born today to a single

parent how how terrible policies Lyon

Johnson came with this welfare program

giving entitle programs to everybody we

went from 4% to 40% of fathers devalued

who cares about fathers in a household

who cares about this yeah we need we

need strong men that raise great kids

lowers taxes lowers crime safer

Community better future citizens

unemployment goes lower a a a strong

father is we need we need a lot of

strong fathers yeah so khabib's father

look who he raised badass what regrets

do you have what do you have regrets

from working too much you have regrets

from not making more money let me tell

you about the regret thing you just had

working too much my dad works 6 days a

week and he would leave 5:00 in the

morning and he would come home at 9: so

we' never see him except for once a week

and I said dad let me ask you a question

when I was in Germany I had a refugee

camp you didn't see me for a year and a

half when you were in Iran I only saw

you once a week so if I lived there for

10 years 52 * 10 you only saw me 520

days out of 3,650 days days and when I

lived here you and Mom got a divorce I

only saw you two days a month so two

days a month over 6 years it's not a lot

24 days 144 days a year do you ever sit

there and say man I didn't spend enough

time with my son does that ever eat you

up and bother you I'm asking for myself

his answer so powerful he says zero

regrets I said dad you can't say that

you mean to tell me you wouldn't have

rather spend time with me than doing

what you were doing working 5 to9 or

whatever you were doing is a zero regret

said then how could you say that he says

my job as your father that God chose for

me to do was to raise a leader so for

the rest of our lives when you're a

leader we can become best friends are we

not best friends today I said we are he

says that's my job kid my dad's a g and

he he he wanted to raise a leader and

you got to give him props so now I got I

got to do the same thing because he's

only going to be known as a great father

if I raise good kids because a great

father you judge a great father based on

his grandkids not based on his kids

if you have great grandkids that means

you duplicated good leaders and that

takes 60 years to realize that takes a

while you may not even ever see it by

the way I hope so yeah I hope so me too

what are we going to say out of you in

the next 20 years I know it's something

you're curious about Kobe I'm curious

for Patrick about David you know I'm

going on a 40-year run in my mind it's

so clear what's going to happen I'm not

Nostradamus I know everything what's

going to happen but in my mind there's

only one person that can fire me and

that's the man upstairs if God keeps me

healthy I'm going 40 years I don't like

what they're doing to America I don't

like what they're doing to kids

confusing them I don't like what they're

doing to parents I don't like how

they're pinning us against each other

I'm not a fan of that and some people

are using their billions to divide

manipulate and Destroy America and I

think we need some people that are not

afraid who can communicate and they're

comfortable and bullying the bully they

can stand up to guys that are

intimidating and it's it's a shame if

you don't use that fire that you have in

your belly to do something about it

because this country gave me an

incredible life a life every day I wake

up it's like a movie to me this doesn't

make any sense to me and I'm going to

sit there and do what just take from

what America gave whether you read the

Kennedy family Legacy or the Bush family

Legacy you'll see one thing they have in

common go make enough money to take care

of your family to take care of your kids

to take care of your wife retire all of

them turn them into leaders and

eventually have to figure out a way to

give money give time back to Public

Service public service you get to do

through politics Church or nonprofit

pick and choose how you want to do it

this country is a too special of a

country for us to not give back to if we

just come and take and we don't give

back it's a bit selfish so 40 years it's

if if we do what we do well it's going

to be a very good movie what what things

can you share a few of those things that

you're excited media movies Consulting

influence politically counsel I'm not

going to be involved in politics I'm not

born here so I I can't run for president

but you any other influential way we're

going to defend the values and

principles that brought us to America

and will'll be one of the most powerful

voices to do that the next 10 20 30 40

years America gets a black guy everybody

wants to take a shot at America but go

ahead and get her America and see what

happens to everybody else why is

everybody's becoming capitalist whose

model are they duplicating after oh let

me guess America okay so all the trash

and that people want to talk about

America be lucky that we have a proven

concept that worked in change changed

many people's lives not just in America

but around the world so we we got we got

some work to do and I'll never forget I

was reading a book by coach of the New

York Giants coach Coughlin he says my

entire 40 Years of coaching I've tried

to get my players to be motivated

through money ah a little bit I try to

get my coach to be motivated by starting

whatever I try to get my coach by

motivated of getting an MVP and all this

stuff he says nothing gets us to fight

and compete better than competing for

for Pride what Pride do you have for

your last name for your family for your

heritage for your faith for your country

khib isn't fighting for freaking $5

million he's fighting for his country

he's fighting for what he believes in

even though him and I don't believe in

the same thing Faith wise you have to

respect the guy and understand that this

guy's a formidable opponent because

there's Pride behind this fight money is

whatever you're not going to give the go

through the pain that another guy is

willing to go through if you're doing it

for money it's not enough Fame not

enough big house not enough Pride you'll

you'll tolerate pain for a long ass time

until the other guy's given up it's a

very different you know energy or what

it tap to and the other guy will never

understand it that's khabib that's Kobe

that's Michael that's Brady that's you

know certain people in politics and

business and Sports in church it's very

different and what what would your dad

say today what does he my dad but if you

come to my house right now and you talk

to my dad my dad would say once Patrick

knew his vision what he was going to do

nobody was going to stop him the drive

was always

there awesome it's great seeing you my

man this was great appreciate you sir

you
