I love trolls & how they think. “You’re a greedy capitalist who overcharges for basic information that anyone can get for free.” “A talented grifter but still a conman.” “You release videos that aren’t really free because, you know, um, somehow you are profiting.” Just raw, raging emotion. Cause it feels that way. With no specific references to anything. The latest “infraction” was because we titled a video “How to build a million dollar business in 48 hours” with @noahkagan . New flash. It’s the title of his book “Million Dollar Weekend”. (A 7 figure business in 48 hrs.) Did they watch it? No! Of course not. Noah dispenses some golden nuggets. He’s sharing his playbook. I personally learned a bunch of things. The Futur has become a grift. Shock! Our diabolical, nefarious, deep state, Ponzi scheme has been revealed. Lock your doors. Change your passwords. Hide your money. Don’t get pulled into this scam. If spending hundreds of hours a week, thousands of dollars a month, producing YouTube videos, LinkedIn posts, IG carousels is a scheme to get rich quick, I must be on the slow boat. Someone school me please. It’s the hardest way I know how to make money. Our business model. Teach others. Empower them. Do it for free. Until they feel so guilty or inspired they’ll buy something. As some have said “Our free content is better than their paid content.” Or, “I feel like I’m stealing by watching this. This should be behind a paywall. It’s a wonder it’s not.” The best and most revealing part about these threads, is when some of my so called “friends” dog pile on, virtue signaling to others. I see you. Thank you for showing me your true face. That’s the real gift. Thank you to the trolls. Thank you to the haters. Thank you. Be well.
