take Jason from Dallas and the more rapid, upright Jason. You don't go
good thanks for college s? Yes, sir, your mama? Quite so it I'm rich enough
yet and how many chinese man, how regional you tell me my network right now down about eighty thousand, but I took a head. It was about one point, three mill and I came from a booby. Nothing though
no, no, I'm working, I guess my own and not where I wanna be, but I am I created jobs and creating jobs. In my question to you is good. I always thought it owed to some regard. The rich or the people that are creating things great, the platform for other people to be able to sell themselves to get a job.
and without was bought formatting gadget, Gostar, Nemo Amor fell wages or whatever on the side, but for most people they poured into an existing flatworm or impish structure, their rich person or a successful person created so that they can get a job. Now I believe that once you're in there
You gotta, create your job and become indispensable or you'll, lose your job or does the average. But my question to you is: how how does it the rich, create the infrastructure, the platform for people to be able to
again to a job yet know hey. I grew it without
to you. Just not you not creating a system of opportunity so
even better by the need for common entrepreneurs, but I mean there's only twenty eight million small businesses in America, twenty one million, don't hurt anybody
so, I do not have a rich got his heart. A hundred and fifty people is,
He rich and first of all, you might not be rich. We all assume that everybody that runs a business and owns a company and pays himself as rich. I know people that are broke that have accompany Ano chiropractors. He I know
right. I had dinner with this weekend. They make millions of dollars every year he just
up in a lawsuit, spends all his time all this energy, all this money, Scott all this equipment, I dont know if you made any money last year, not maybe at a good year, maybe didn't I.
Jason saying, though, is and here
a guy we're six. Six hundred. Eighty thousand dollars: ok, I'm gonna, put your network in here see where you rank with with.
Let me see where you re cookie. I love
How three hundred million people
What does it say,
just put mine and I'm too high for a valid rank, but but
But I think the point is you know, regardless of who is responsible for the job.
If you really want a job. This gonna set. You free- and I think you agree with this
you gotta created. It's not something
anybody- hard you for some
I somebody to be a graphics person. Also, they create ten times that.
And then there more valuable to me. That's going to create more freedom, but they gotta come back to work more and create again. You agree with adjacent. Yes, I mean, if you can anyone listening. You fear that you gave this point that the platform of the infrastructure you got to become indispensable and in, like you, said, grant you have to create the only because you know that how you will become free any not everywhere, I've ever Bogdan from the start to move through the ranks and then
you know that's how you can become free and in creating the mere humping yeah Jason thanks for Corn- and I absolutely agree with you
in talking about freedom, ok, Jason Santa! If you want your freedom, you gotta wake up and created every single day. Ok, here's my day,
who is today. Ok number one depend, never depend on the economy, you're dependent on the economy.
You guys in housing your way,
for the housing to recover you not free. You
an automotive that the automobile business businesses good right now
people in Miami condos or selling. These people are not free. What happens when it changes again? That's not freedom. Ok, that's dependence.
You are responsible for your freedom? Ok, if you're gonna ever
Have it know that you're responsible number, two, no one creates a job, but you I don't care whose
who's got jobs whose hurrying look. Let what are you doing you a victim?
Ok, no one crazed job! You create your own freedom, you're responsible for and number three that people are fair.
In this country because they cut it to close their cutting it to close their selling for comfort quit saddling freedom does not come to those that settle it. Just does not
and the dead the major significant difference for made between the altar rich and, though
The middle class is the rich are not looking for free or comfort they're, not
interested in being comfortable they're interested in freedom and, though spit
or invest their last nickels and dimes in pennies. In all
