Introduction to Salman Qureshi and the Expat Brad Podcast
00:00:17
Speaker
Hey, everyone.
00:00:17
Speaker
It's Salman Qureshi.
00:00:18
Speaker
You're listening to the Expat Brad Podcast.
00:00:21
Speaker
And I hope you've been having a great, great week so far.
00:00:26
Speaker
It's only Tuesday and you basically have just gone back to work yesterday.
00:00:32
Speaker
But maybe it was a great Monday.
00:00:34
Speaker
You know, maybe you walked in and your boss looked at you and said, come into the office.
00:00:39
Speaker
And you quivered a little bit and you followed your boss into the room and they sat down and they looked at you and they said, you know, you've been working so hard.
00:00:48
Speaker
We're giving you a bump in your pay.
00:00:50
Speaker
And here's some bonus money just for the heck of it.
00:00:53
Speaker
Not for the heck of it, but because you deserve it.
00:00:56
Speaker
You're my number one employee.
00:00:58
Speaker
Without you, this company would have shut down two days ago.
00:01:04
Speaker
Just two days ago.
00:01:04
Speaker
Because that's where we were about to go bankrupt.
00:01:08
Speaker
But that deal you clinched, that Excel sheet you updated, that less bottle of water you used in the pantry, that saved us, man.
00:01:22
Speaker
That saved us in here.
00:01:23
Speaker
Mm-hmm.
00:01:24
Speaker
Mm-hmm.
00:01:26
Speaker
I don't know.
00:01:26
Speaker
Maybe it
Fostering Positivity and Happiness
00:01:27
Speaker
was.
00:01:27
Speaker
If it was like that, that's great, right?
00:01:29
Speaker
And that extra money and that bonus probably makes you then kind of go, all right, I can take all the other crap that comes with this job, like my moronic colleagues and equally idiotic clients.
00:01:51
Speaker
Yeah.
00:01:51
Speaker
And all the...
00:01:53
Speaker
brain numbing work I have to do every day because someone wants to see a report at the end of the month.
00:02:03
Speaker
Oh, I don't miss corporate work sometimes.
00:02:05
Speaker
But I genuinely hope, I genuinely hope that's the kind of week you're having already and that you have something to look forward to
00:02:14
Speaker
At the end of the week or during the week, you know, actually every day of this week, that's how much I'm trying to bless, send blessings to you into your into your week.
00:02:25
Speaker
All right.
00:02:25
Speaker
So you have a great, great week.
00:02:28
Speaker
I've heard psychologically that if you have something to look forward to, particularly like a holiday or something, then it helps your mood.
00:02:40
Speaker
And so I don't know how that works exactly.
00:02:43
Speaker
Is it can you fool your brain?
00:02:45
Speaker
Can you just tell yourself next month I'm going to the Bahamas and that will trigger your brain to be happier and content with life?
00:02:59
Speaker
But then you have to deal with the emotion of disappointment when next month comes around and you're not in the Bahamas and you're sitting behind a desk looking at a screensaver of the Bahamas.
00:03:12
Speaker
Maybe that'll trick the brain into thinking you are there.
00:03:15
Speaker
I don't know.
00:03:16
Speaker
How much can you trick your brain before your brain goes, yo, listen up.
00:03:22
Speaker
I'm in charge here and I know what you're trying to do and it's not going to work anymore.
00:03:27
Speaker
Or at least maybe, maybe it will, because, you know, that's how we keep fooling ourselves at our jobs, at our in our bad relationships and any bad situation we're in.
00:03:38
Speaker
We like to have hope.
00:03:39
Speaker
So maybe this is a good way to deal with life.
00:03:43
Speaker
Just try for the next three months and let me know how it goes.
00:03:47
Speaker
If it works, I'll write a book on it, sell it and become rich.
00:03:50
Speaker
OK, that's that's the plan.
00:03:52
Speaker
So in three months, in three months, you could be contributing to my success.
00:03:56
Speaker
That's something to look forward to as well.
00:04:00
Speaker
At least for me.
00:04:01
Speaker
So have a go at it.
00:04:04
Speaker
And why not?
00:04:05
Speaker
Right.
00:04:06
Speaker
Why shouldn't I cash in?
00:04:07
Speaker
Look.
Critique on Celebrity Influence
00:04:08
Speaker
Let's be honest.
00:04:09
Speaker
In this day and age, celebrities just need to be good at one thing before you start buying stuff from them in other stuff.
00:04:17
Speaker
For all the love I have for Johnny Depp as an actor, seeing him on stage performing, I'm not sure he deserves to be up there.
00:04:25
Speaker
I don't know.
00:04:26
Speaker
I haven't really listened to him, so maybe I'm being harsh.
00:04:32
Speaker
But...
00:04:34
Speaker
You see it too often now.
00:04:37
Speaker
Celebs come out with a book, paintings.
00:04:41
Speaker
Paintings is a crazy one.
00:04:43
Speaker
They're just selling for millions of dollars.
00:04:46
Speaker
Jim Carrey's work.
00:04:47
Speaker
I'm not an art fan.
00:04:50
Speaker
expert or critic so I don't know if his work is good or not and I could be wrong maybe he's a great painter as well with maybe with all the money he made with movies wasn't he earning like 20 million dollars a movie at one point and he's like bored of that I don't want to kill him for you know being bored of doing something you do so well and get paid so insanely for it anyway
00:05:19
Speaker
So he's doing paintings and they sell.
00:05:21
Speaker
They sell for, I think the tickets, just to get into one of his exhibitions for a couple sold for like $10,000 at one point.
00:05:29
Speaker
So he's... Would we...
00:05:34
Speaker
really want to buy his stuff if it wasn't him doing it.
00:05:38
Speaker
You know what I mean?
00:05:40
Speaker
So, yeah, that's, I am not sure about how much, but it's a great thing, a great power to have, which is, and I think it's always been there.
00:05:52
Speaker
It's always been, you know, back in the day, it's only very recent that merit became a thing, isn't it?
00:05:59
Speaker
Otherwise, back in the day, amateur gentlemen
00:06:04
Speaker
where kind of, you know, people would reach and had time for a hobby.
00:06:08
Speaker
They're the ones that discovered stuff.
00:06:09
Speaker
They're the ones that played sports.
00:06:11
Speaker
They're the ones that were like kind of, because of their social circle and availability of time.
00:06:17
Speaker
If you weren't rich and affluent, then you'd be busy washing your boxers all the time, right?
00:06:23
Speaker
Because you come back from working in this factory where you're covered in suit and probably battling cancer on the inside.
00:06:34
Speaker
You know, just covered in dirt and whatnot and then having to spend the whole night just washing it off, knowing tomorrow you have to go through this again.
00:06:46
Speaker
Maybe some of these people just gave up and showed up and that's how blackface started.
00:06:50
Speaker
Who knows?
00:06:50
Speaker
I don't know.
00:06:51
Speaker
Is that controversial to joke about?
00:06:52
Speaker
I don't know.
00:06:53
Speaker
Yeah.
00:06:56
Speaker
But but you didn't have time to play with your own kids, forget like researching something or having a hobby.
00:07:06
Speaker
No one was paid in sports back then enough.
00:07:09
Speaker
And then something happened and people started like, you know, hiring people who were actually good or just more democratization.
00:07:20
Speaker
Did I say that right?
00:07:21
Speaker
I don't know.
00:07:22
Speaker
Yeah.
00:07:23
Speaker
And so people were able to get into more different things.
00:07:28
Speaker
Right.
00:07:28
Speaker
And I think generally it's been better.
00:07:31
Speaker
But when you look at the celebrity stuff and the influencer stuff, Instagram stuff and whatnot, you kind of go.
00:07:38
Speaker
Yeah, I know.
00:07:40
Speaker
Yeah.
00:07:41
Speaker
Kim Kardashian knows how to pose and act.
00:07:46
Speaker
Why is she selling 10 other things that she hasn't done anything with?
00:07:51
Speaker
I don't know.
00:07:52
Speaker
I don't know.
00:07:52
Speaker
Some of it is.
00:07:53
Speaker
So it'll always be there.
00:07:55
Speaker
I think it's just making a very strong comeback of sorts in a way.
00:07:59
Speaker
because I think the painting thing, again, because my wife's an artist, maybe I'm more, you know, maybe I'm just upset for her.
00:08:07
Speaker
But if these guys get to perform or exhibit at these places where a normal artist would die and consider a privilege to be, you know, be able to use that platform and instead, you know,
00:08:24
Speaker
It's given to these guys.
00:08:25
Speaker
And I get it.
00:08:26
Speaker
There's a commercial reason because you all, all of us are just going to buy a known quantity over someone we don't know, even if the work's great.
00:08:36
Speaker
So what I'm trying to say is it doesn't matter if your work's great.
00:08:40
Speaker
It sucks.
00:08:41
Speaker
It does.
00:08:41
Speaker
All of that.
00:08:42
Speaker
It doesn't matter.
00:08:43
Speaker
What matters is do you.
00:08:45
Speaker
Do people know you enough to want to hire you?
00:08:48
Speaker
And I'm talking at the top level.
00:08:49
Speaker
If you are happy with doing a corporate job, eight to five, then who cares?
00:08:54
Speaker
Maybe you'll get promotions and bonuses enough times to make it worth it for you.
00:09:01
Speaker
And maybe it gives you a nice life.
00:09:03
Speaker
Who cares, right?
00:09:04
Speaker
But if you want to really, really land at the top,
00:09:09
Speaker
Then I think that's the way to go.
00:09:10
Speaker
You've got to create a name for yourself.
00:09:12
Speaker
And I know people go on about branding and personal branding and blah, blah, blah.
00:09:17
Speaker
But I'm saying go all the way.
00:09:19
Speaker
Go crazy.
00:09:20
Speaker
Go crazy online and just be all about marketing.
00:09:26
Speaker
Because honestly...
00:09:28
Speaker
Sometimes, I think there are times in life when you're good at something, you'll pull through and you're so good.
00:09:36
Speaker
The people around you just gather and they make it happen for you, right?
00:09:42
Speaker
The universe makes it happen for you because you're so talented.
00:09:46
Speaker
Like I saw Tiger Woods documentary and the guy was shooting golf, you know, swinging the golf club really well at the age of three, all right?
00:09:55
Speaker
I know Tiger Woods.
00:09:57
Speaker
It sounds great, but think about it.
00:09:58
Speaker
Like at the age of three, if you've had kids, you'll know some of them are still wearing diapers.
00:10:04
Speaker
You're still trying to get them to go to nursery without crying and all sorts of stuff.
Exploring Talent and Success
00:10:11
Speaker
And this guy, this kid is just swinging golf clubs like a pro, all right?
00:10:16
Speaker
So when that happens, but unfortunately, when that happens, then the kids
00:10:22
Speaker
Then people gather around you, like I said, and things just flow for you.
00:10:26
Speaker
All right.
00:10:27
Speaker
And it's up to you to like make it go bust like he did with his multiple incidents.
00:10:33
Speaker
Well, just one.
00:10:35
Speaker
He got caught cheating.
00:10:36
Speaker
We all, you know, and he wrecked his car and stuff like spectacular.
00:10:41
Speaker
It was spectacular.
00:10:42
Speaker
Let's just say.
00:10:44
Speaker
But that was Tiger Woods, man.
00:10:45
Speaker
And he was talented.
00:10:47
Speaker
And let's be honest.
00:10:48
Speaker
I know people around you might have told you you're very talented at making flip flops.
00:10:54
Speaker
And that's the kind of business you should get into.
00:10:58
Speaker
But just take a moment.
00:11:00
Speaker
All right.
00:11:01
Speaker
Take a moment and just ask yourself, am I really that?
00:11:07
Speaker
Maybe you are, and that's great.
00:11:09
Speaker
I'm not trying to discourage you.
00:11:11
Speaker
But even if you are, what's my point?
00:11:13
Speaker
My point was, actually, let me backtrack.
00:11:15
Speaker
My point was, if you are, even if you're really talented, the problem is, if I don't know you, I'll just be like, I don't know if this is good or not.
00:11:27
Speaker
Because most people are actually dumb.
00:11:30
Speaker
Who studied art?
00:11:31
Speaker
We're collecting art.
00:11:32
Speaker
Everyone was buying NFTs because someone told them it's going to be worth something in a while, right?
00:11:37
Speaker
So that's what you got to project.
00:11:39
Speaker
You got to project celebrity-ness so that people think, hey, his or her stuff is going to...
00:11:49
Speaker
increase in value over time.
00:11:51
Speaker
So I better pick up some of this crap right now.
00:11:55
Speaker
Even if I find that painting with that baboon with psychedelic tie-dye colors around it extremely disturbing.
00:12:09
Speaker
I will pay some good money for it because at some point some other idiot will come around thinking it's double the value or maybe the artist will die.
00:12:20
Speaker
You know, I went to a Metallica concert.
00:12:22
Speaker
I won tickets.
00:12:23
Speaker
And they gave me a signed.
00:12:27
Speaker
It came with a signed.
00:12:28
Speaker
What do you call that?
00:12:29
Speaker
Not a T-shirt.
00:12:30
Speaker
It was.
00:12:31
Speaker
What was it signed on?
00:12:32
Speaker
You know, those drum kits.
00:12:33
Speaker
The ding.
00:12:35
Speaker
The bell.
00:12:36
Speaker
Like the chime type looking thing.
00:12:39
Speaker
God, I'm so ignorant.
00:12:41
Speaker
So that chime like thing.
00:12:44
Speaker
You know, it would look like a Chinese hat.
00:12:46
Speaker
Anyway.
00:12:47
Speaker
So.
00:12:48
Speaker
That was it.
00:12:49
Speaker
No, no, no, no.
00:12:50
Speaker
I remember.
00:12:51
Speaker
It was the drum skin.
00:12:52
Speaker
I'm sure there's another word for it.
00:12:56
Speaker
But the drum, like, you know, the clot where you hit the stick on.
00:13:04
Speaker
Yeah, so that bit.
00:13:06
Speaker
They all signed it.
00:13:07
Speaker
And I had it for a while.
00:13:09
Speaker
And I gave it to my brother.
00:13:10
Speaker
I don't know if he still has it.
00:13:12
Speaker
I should ask him if he lost it.
00:13:13
Speaker
Because he was a bigger fan of Metallica.
00:13:15
Speaker
Anyway, I just thought...
00:13:18
Speaker
At some point, that Metallica thing might become really valuable if one of them died and then...
00:13:26
Speaker
I was just sitting around going, at least for the next six months, I was like, hey, you know, it might be great if one of these guys died right now.
00:13:36
Speaker
That's the kind of hope.
00:13:37
Speaker
No more a fan.
00:13:39
Speaker
No more, I hope they release another album.
00:13:41
Speaker
I hope I get to see them live again.
00:13:43
Speaker
It was die, guys, so that the thing I have of yours becomes much more valuable and I can get rich off this.
00:13:51
Speaker
All right?
00:13:52
Speaker
So...
00:13:52
Speaker
And that's the mentality we have, I think, when we get most of this stuff.
00:13:56
Speaker
Also, we think by using something a celebrity has endorsed is definitely better and will make our lives happier.
00:14:03
Speaker
Right.
00:14:04
Speaker
That's also part of the deal.
00:14:05
Speaker
So so that painting hanging on the wall with the baboon and the tie dye psychedelic colors background is amazing.
00:14:14
Speaker
It's making our life better in some way.
00:14:15
Speaker
We don't know.
00:14:16
Speaker
We don't know how yet.
00:14:17
Speaker
Right.
00:14:18
Speaker
But somewhere on the inside, we feel more confident because we know a famous artist who is actually known for movies or crushing peanuts for all we care has painted this and stamped their name on it.
00:14:34
Speaker
So it's legit.
00:14:35
Speaker
And I am cool because I have one.
00:14:39
Speaker
Right.
00:14:40
Speaker
So now that I've given you the key to success, right, it's not hard work.
00:14:44
Speaker
It's not talent.
00:14:46
Speaker
It's not actually what you can do.
00:14:49
Speaker
It's who people think you are and can do.
00:14:52
Speaker
It's still, you know, in fairness, it still requires a lot of hard work because it's not easy getting famous.
00:15:00
Speaker
I know in the Internet time we often see people get famous sometimes.
00:15:05
Speaker
for the first five minutes or whatever, like Annie Warhol said, we'd all have our five minutes of fame.
00:15:10
Speaker
Was that the line?
00:15:11
Speaker
Something like that.
00:15:12
Speaker
And so we can get that, but to sustain it and to become to a point where people are stupid enough to buy your awful paintings, then I think that does require a bit of hard work and intelligence of some sort
00:15:28
Speaker
to keep going.
00:15:29
Speaker
And I'm just bitter because I haven't, you know, I've had some really great stuff happen in my career and worked with some really big brands with big celebs.
00:15:42
Speaker
Like I really look back and go, I've had a great ride.
00:15:45
Speaker
And, you know, thankfully, people do recognize you when you go out and stuff a lot of time.
00:15:52
Speaker
But, you know, not that kind of not that I want to hit that level where people will be like, you know what, Salman, Salman used this tissue to sneeze into and we're just going to pay a lot of money.
00:16:06
Speaker
And he's put it into a frame.
00:16:07
Speaker
And now it's an art exhibition.
00:16:10
Speaker
And, you know, it just means a lot.
00:16:12
Speaker
That sneeze came at a point where he was on the set for his great movie.
00:16:19
Speaker
And it was just before this pivotal scene.
00:16:22
Speaker
He wanted to sneeze.
00:16:24
Speaker
I don't know.
00:16:25
Speaker
He wanted to sneeze so that his lungs would be clear and he'd deliver this line in the Oscar-winning moment that he did have.
00:16:34
Speaker
It's all because of the sneeze and now we have it.
00:16:38
Speaker
The exhibition is called Sal Sneezes.
00:16:45
Speaker
Someone just, you know, they have an auction war and I claim it's going to go for charity, but secretly I keep some of the money.
00:16:52
Speaker
Hehehehe.
00:16:54
Speaker
Maybe that's why maybe that's why the universe and the God is not rewarding me for this stuff.
00:17:02
Speaker
And then goes for like a few million dollars and everyone's like, oh, that's insane, but he totally deserves it.
00:17:08
Speaker
You know, that tissue, that exhibition was amazing.
00:17:11
Speaker
It changed my life.
00:17:13
Speaker
Uh, I don't know if any rich people actually talk like that.
00:17:15
Speaker
That's, that's the opposite of rich people talk.
00:17:17
Speaker
I think, I think unless you're in Silicon Valley, maybe, huh?
00:17:20
Speaker
I don't know.
00:17:21
Speaker
Um, and so, yeah, so it just sells and, uh, and I secretly keep most of the money and I send some of it to, uh, some orphanage and everyone's happier.
00:17:33
Speaker
Everyone's happy.
00:17:34
Speaker
The person who bought the thing will feel they own something important and, and they'll assume some of that money has also helped, uh,
00:17:44
Speaker
the needy.
00:17:45
Speaker
And hey, you know, if anything, a lot of people say I'm very needy.
00:17:48
Speaker
So there you go, right?
00:17:52
Speaker
It's not a lie.
00:17:53
Speaker
And obviously, I'll be happier because I've got more money in my account and I am celebrated.
00:18:01
Speaker
So, you know, that's kind of cool.
00:18:03
Speaker
And like I said, some orphanage, some kid will be able to afford new shoes because I will send at least that much.
00:18:12
Speaker
Who knows, maybe five of them might be able to afford new shoes because, you know, the dollar is quite strong right now versus developing countries.
00:18:20
Speaker
And obviously I'd send it to a developing country orphanage.
00:18:24
Speaker
Unless I was really mean and I sent it to an orphanage in a rich country because then that would get me some political clout with the locals of that area.
00:18:32
Speaker
And that might help me even more.
00:18:34
Speaker
Oh, you know, I'm just talking through this stuff and I'm like, wow, there's so much potential.
00:18:39
Speaker
There's so much potential for me to gain so much if we can make this happen.
00:18:46
Speaker
All right.
00:18:47
Speaker
So, guys, we've got to make this happen.
00:18:48
Speaker
All right.
00:18:50
Speaker
I'm if you are not following me yet.
00:18:52
Speaker
Yeah.
00:18:53
Speaker
On my social media platforms.
00:18:56
Speaker
What are you doing listening to my podcast?
00:18:58
Speaker
Go do it, man.
00:19:00
Speaker
Look, you think my idea is crazy?
00:19:01
Speaker
It's not.
00:19:03
Speaker
If you've got money and fame, you can do anything.
00:19:05
Speaker
Like Saudi just announced this wall.
00:19:09
Speaker
Just a city that is like the modern China wall, but straight and made of glass and and we'll have a city living inside it.
00:19:19
Speaker
Who knows?
00:19:19
Speaker
Maybe maybe the ancient wall of China was supposed to be the same.
00:19:24
Speaker
Have we looked inside it?
00:19:26
Speaker
I know David Copperfield went through it.
00:19:28
Speaker
That's an that's such an old reference.
00:19:31
Speaker
Yeah.
00:19:32
Speaker
I don't think 90% of my listeners would get that.
00:19:35
Speaker
It's so sad.
00:19:36
Speaker
But maybe Google it.
00:19:37
Speaker
It was pretty cool.
00:19:38
Speaker
It was a pretty cool trick where the greatest magician that ever lived, at least in the TV era, David Copperfield.
00:19:44
Speaker
So spectacular, so funny, much better than these street guys that I really hate watching.
00:19:50
Speaker
I wouldn't even name them because I hate that so much.
00:19:52
Speaker
And one of his illusions was to walk through the wall of China.
00:19:56
Speaker
And I don't know.
00:19:56
Speaker
You should ask him, was there a city inside?
00:19:58
Speaker
Were there a lot of bunch of dead bodies?
00:20:01
Speaker
Just sitting around going, we didn't think about the oxygen.
00:20:05
Speaker
Well, they're dead, so they wouldn't say, but maybe they had it on sign.
00:20:08
Speaker
And it's David Copperfield, so he probably could read Mandarin as well.
00:20:13
Speaker
You know, it's him.
00:20:14
Speaker
Everything's possible.
00:20:15
Speaker
So, hey, if you don't believe me, that guy made Statue of Liberty disappear as well.
00:20:20
Speaker
Okay?
Saudi Arabia's Futuristic Vision
00:20:21
Speaker
All right?
00:20:21
Speaker
You don't believe me?
00:20:22
Speaker
Google that stuff.
00:20:23
Speaker
Okay?
00:20:23
Speaker
Okay.
00:20:24
Speaker
We don't doubt David Copperfield on this podcast.
00:20:28
Speaker
And so, yeah, so the Saudi guys, they want to build this wall city that's like, I don't know, a gazillion, just a straight line, like a straight tower.
00:20:39
Speaker
And they're calling it a skyscraper.
00:20:41
Speaker
And I'm like, what?
00:20:42
Speaker
What?
00:20:44
Speaker
Yeah.
00:20:44
Speaker
You know, it's just crazy.
00:20:46
Speaker
And no one will say to their face that this is a crazy idea because they know people will probably buy it.
00:20:51
Speaker
People will probably be like, I'll invest and it'll work.
00:20:58
Speaker
And all of us who are going, but this sounds really stupid and not needed, right?
00:21:04
Speaker
It's totally not needed.
00:21:07
Speaker
But it'll happen in front of us and we'll be like, what?
00:21:10
Speaker
That's the way it works.
00:21:11
Speaker
Like, so...
00:21:13
Speaker
There's so many times I'm like, that's a crazy idea.
00:21:15
Speaker
Government shouldn't be doing that.
00:21:17
Speaker
Rich people shouldn't be doing that.
00:21:18
Speaker
But it happens.
00:21:20
Speaker
It doesn't matter that I think.
00:21:20
Speaker
And it works.
00:21:21
Speaker
That's the worst bit, right?
00:21:23
Speaker
Shit works and you sit there and you go, oh, man, maybe I should just do some more crazy ideas or something.
00:21:30
Speaker
Well, that's what I've been doing this whole podcast to formulate that crazy idea, you know, and sometimes things happen.
00:21:37
Speaker
Like I'm sure a lot of people for the longest of time said women's sports.
00:21:42
Speaker
Screw it.
00:21:43
Speaker
But it's so funny to me that it's the English women's team.
00:21:47
Speaker
Big up to them for winning the trophy against a very good German team as well.
00:21:54
Speaker
But it's nice because the whole time...
00:21:58
Speaker
Everyone's cheering on the guys, investing millions in them, talking about it for what, since 1966.
00:22:03
Speaker
They're bringing it home, bringing it home.
00:22:06
Speaker
And the women just went, listen, we got this.
00:22:09
Speaker
All right.
00:22:11
Speaker
They stepped out and stepped up and to a record crowd.
00:22:15
Speaker
It was almost like 90,000 people in the stadium.
00:22:17
Speaker
That's amazing.
00:22:18
Speaker
It's great for women's sports.
00:22:21
Speaker
It just goes to show, of course, like I said, crazy thoughts, crazy ideas can happen.
00:22:25
Speaker
So there's a little bit of motivation for you in this podcast, okay?
00:22:29
Speaker
Yeah, there you

00:22:30

Like, I hope this has been inspiring for you as much as it has been inspiring for me because I'm definitely going to go out, do much more crazier ideas and believe in them and try them out.
00:22:41
Speaker
And if one of them succeeds, all the great, great for us, right?
00:22:45
Speaker
Unless it's like a crazy bad idea, like I'll go slaughter people
