So what have you learned about money? Now that you have money, surplus, abundance, you’re doing very very well in the streaming and online, what have you learned most about money? What I learned most about money? Money talks.
First of all, money just, money kind of runs its role, you know, and you got to really, and a lot of people don’t got it, you know, so I try to like help out as much people because, you know, that’s why I like, I carry cash now, you know, I always carry cash anywhere I go, you know, just to handing out to somebody, you know, because some people need it, but, you know, money is just, it’s kind of what life, what runs on.
You have a great team around you. They talk to you about like, I don’t know how long you want to do this, I don’t know if you have any other, what are the hobbies or anything that you want to do outside of this once this is over. So how long do you want to stream?
How long you want to do this? As long as you can. Do you see an end date and do something else? I love streaming, you know, I want to really really perfect it, like really really perfect it, you know, because I really love the game of streaming, like I love the industry of streaming, I like, I really love it and it’s not gonna stop, it’s not gonna stop.
What is investing? Obviously, you know, you say you carry cash because everybody is not as fortunate as you are and sometimes you see people in need and you want to be able to help them and that’s a big thing for you, that’s a big thing for you. But what did your team tell you about investing?
Like, I don’t know, Speed, we can’t save the world. What do you mean by that? What I’m saying, like, you said that you want to help people. Yep.
And as far as like your team said, you know, we got to make sure we invest X, Y, and Z, but you say you carry cash because you want to help people. Have your team…
the same thing because I got a big heart and I want to help and my team like Shannon you can’t save the world. Exactly that’s true but if you want it my thing is if you run into somebody and you know you got it you know it don’t matter if it’s a supporter of like if somebody asks you yo you know I want to feel like I was just walking down in Michigan some dude was walking down yo I want to feed my daughter some ramen noodles blah blah gave him like 200 ball you know like just I’m talking about stuff like that I get it I get it we can’t save the world right but if somebody need it and somebody need help give them that and and plus if you got it right you know so I try to like I’m always sending people money I’m always sending people money just to help out and it comes to family friends supporters anything it’s just is it hard for you to say no oh no it’s not you know obviously I asked like yo like what you need it for you’re not about to just but no it’s not hard for me to say no.
