I like how he called BS on business people “Loving their business”. I appreciate his honesty on being money driven. We need more transparency like this.
There definitely are people who love their businesses. Definitely not all of them though by a long-shot. I think it depends on your industry too. Can't imagine people who love water treatment or the refinement of chemicals so much they want to keep doing it after they have an exit or retire. I can imagine people who own businesses that design and make surfboards or mountain bikes or go-carts still wanting to be involved forever though. You wouldn't want to sell that business and let go of it completely

We dont make millions and millions but we are well off enough to say freak you if youre not into what you do and belueve it truly dont waste my time.
Kinkos billionaire is refreshing. Doesn't play it down. Says it felt great to become a billionaire. Immediately casually goes over what he sees as regrettable instead of giving a hippie answer. Has the lust for life to buy a jet but understands that the most valuable thing is family.
@@Alan-rw3ez No, that is a real answer. An example of a hippie answer is saying that you have no regrets because everything bad made you who you are etc.
I used to think everybody went broke during the Great Depression and other major crashes but they didn’t… Some made millions, I also thought everybody went out of business during these times but they didn’t, some went into business, there's always depression/recession for some people and there's always a good time for others, it's all about perspective.
First step is discovering loopholes to generate gains during volatility, It is very possible to retire big time from the current market condition without having to hold stocks long term.
most of these strategies and loopholes are better managed by experts and pros in the market, the average Investor on the other hand are left to suffer during a crash.
The issue is people always have the “I’ll have to do it myself mentality” Unapologetically, that’s why the get heavily affected during a crash and coupled with the fact we’ve had the longest bullrun ever in the American history, most folks aren’t equipped to manaqe this crash and it’s impending opportunltles well enough, so it only makes sense to seek proper guidance during these times, that’s what lnvestment-advlsers are for, been using one ever since the pandemc 2020 and I’ve been barely affected by crash, I have $850k in profit sitting in my portfolio and I’m unbothered about the market outcomes.

Went to an expo once with a Brazilian multi-millionaire. Walked past a fruit juice stand that had a monopoly at the show. He saw the stand and was in total awe. They were juicing oranges automatically. A huge line. I thought nothing of it. The Brazilian pulled me back and asked me to count the drinks they sold in the next minute. About 15 drinks at $4 a drink. He asked what turnover would that be per day? At that moment realized how the mind of a true entrepreneur works.

It took alkng time of talking to those guys, learning from them and getting to knpw them for them to take a sine and interest in me. They essential helped me grow into a man. I grew out of that job as it no lonfer served me as it would not financialy sustain my future goals and I got a higher paid one. i no longer know or talk to any of those people. Im now in the best job I have ever had mostly due to the comradery. But im not silly. When i leave this job I will probably never hear from these people again.

But just feel happy for people when they find the stop they are looking for.
I'm extremely privileged to have had the chance to be in Paul Orfalea's class at USC (University of Southern California, not Santa Cruz haha). That once a week class held at the university's best restaurant (we'd get dinner served while he taught us simple life/business lessons) on campus was the definition of what college should be about: practical scenario based exercises, stories of mistakes Paul made running Kinkos, and incredible Q&A sessions with guests/Paul's friends who were all entrepreneurs or high up members of society (a former California Supreme Court Justice taught us many great lessons). I'm incredibly grateful to Paul for everything he taught us.
Laughing at what he said in 7:03 because he's so spot on (and yes I'm in my forties). Minus the swearing, I relate to him the best. He's so funny and honest - can only respect that.
It feels a lot better knowing that there are people who are eager to continue to improve while keeping in mind that being perfect isn’t the goal. Creating my TH-cam channel about self development was not easy to start. It took me years for contemplating before I finally did it and I’m glad I did.
One takeaway on this video that I got from watching it. Sacrifice now and have fun later. The common theme is, these folks have sacrificed first before enjoying life. Others want to enjoy life first. That is why they do not achieve the pinnacle of success.
but What if you don't make it to the later part? All that sacrifice now fun later now for what? we don't know when our day is up. Enjoy life and have fun to an extent atleast thats what I think.
@@noahkagan definitely! I can relate to them even if I am not a billionaire. I enjoy my life now retired early. Have worked 15 years in a row non stop with investments on the side and full time work. I still do work but for enjoyment purposes only.

As a woman, I think other women need to hear this. Family is important. Relationships are important. I feel like too many women prioritize careers over family these days and it just leads to misery. Because your company won't be there for you when it's over. But your kids and husband will if you prioritize having good relationships. Same goes for the guys. Don't let "success" ruin your life and the lives of your family. Money can help, but it can also destroy.
Men and women are different I do believe it’s important for a woman to prioritize family but for men it is different we need to work and provide for our family and we are not caretakers in the same way
@@janebaker4912 lol that's why it's important to have good relationships. Definitely don't depend on your kids for your finances, but yes if you find that balance it's better than chasing that money.

Brilliant video Noah! Billionaires are considered abstract shadow people. This shows them for what they are, hard-working, intelligent, and personable people.
Lets take notes guys.. All billionaires and no single one is wearing full designer clothes such as Gucci, Louis Vuitton etc. Great vid, so much value, thanks!!
I really see Paul as an older version of myself 😂 when I was a kid, instead of spending my money on the ice cream truck when my other friends didn’t have money, I used it to buy materials for a lemonade stand and put my friends to work, I took $5 and turned it into $40 and we all had treats when I ice cream truck came. When I had no money, I got my friends to gather buckets, soap, window cleaner, and old rags for free and you know what we did? Washed cars in our neighborhood. People gladly paid a bunch of neighborhood kids to clean their car instead of causing trouble. I became disillusioned with online hustle culture for a while but the tried and true method is to bring value to the marketplace not over saturate it in hopes of personal gain. Sure there is the what’s in it for me, but what value are you bringing to someone’s day? Is their car clean? How about their thirst? What about their heart strings? Have you pulled them by kids showing true American ingenuity by using their time to improve their community instead of destroy it? (Especially poor black kids like how I grew up)
It's great to hear from them that the struggle, the hardwork, the sacrifice is all worth it. Make sure you work guys. Nothing comes out of procrastination, being lazy, unmotivated..
@@namvoba5897 True, it's not the money, it's the service to humanity that brings the money. If anyone chases money, money just rans too fast then we won't catch up, frustration follows.
Creating wealth entails establishing positive routines, I had only $78k to my name at 42 when I first woke up to this reality. I chose the stock market as a medium of growth, got an excellent financial advisor, Financial management is a vital subject that many avoid, often leading to future regrets.
Indeed, currently I'm managing my finances wisely and being frugal. In the last 19 months, my investments grew by 43%, adding over $500K in profits. However, I've had losses in the past month, making me anxious. I'm unsure whether to sell everything or wait.
No doubt, having the right plan is invaluable, my portfolio is well-matched for every season of the market and recently hit 100% rise from early last year. I and my CFP are working on a 7 figure ballpark goal, tho this could take till Q3 2024.
This is definitely considerable! think you could suggest any professional/advisors i can get on the phone with? i'm in dire need of proper portfolio allocation
I'm 3 years short of being the magical 50 and I'm so looking forward to it. Btw, this was a fantastically done video and i would like to add that as you grow older past your 40's, you not only stop giving a flying duck as to what people think about you, you also walk away from all negative and toxic people because you realize your self worth is the most priceless thing you will ever have.
Met Paul when I worked @ Kinkos a few months before he sold it to Fedex, one of the Coolest People to me and he would actually talk and have conversation with anyone. He made a lot of individual Store Owners Instant Millionaires that year by selling...
Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.., I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life!!
Investors should exercise caution with their exposure and exercise caution when considering new investments, particularly during periods of inflation. It is advisable to seek guidance from a professional or trusted advisor in order to navigate this recession and achieve potential high yields.
Through closely monitoring the performance of my portfolio, I have witnessed a remarkable growth of $508k in just the past two quarters. This experience has shed light on why experienced traders are able to generate substantial returns even in lesser-known markets. It is safe to say that this bold decision has been one of the most impactful choices I have made recently.
I'm working with a consultant named *'Nolan Velden Brent,'* whom I discovered through a CNBC interview where he was featured. After reaching out to him, he has been providing valuable entry and exit points for the securities I focus on. If you're interested in his supervision and expertise, you can look him up online using his name. Following his trade pattern has been a rewarding experience, and I have no regrets about doing so.
The Kinkos guy has some amazing quotes in this... I like him. I like his honesty, seems like a bit of a hardass, but understands what relationships are important.
Man. This video was Soo well done! You asked the most important questions that I think we all need to know. Seems like the biggest thing they had in common was hard work and commitment.
notice: grounded humility, no nonsense, no flashy fluff. I personally work with one billionaire- he's exactly the same. (they always have VERY nice houses. but rarely supercars. never hip designer duds.)
Kinko's is right, I've started my business this year and yes I like it being mine and learning from all this adventure but the final objective is to sell it.
I appreciate that Mr. Kinko regrets his lack of gratitude for his employees. I hope he has taken that wisdom and spread it to his other wealthy clique members. But I have worked in hospitals all my life and know those people in the executive suites making the big bucks don't give two shits about employees, much more, the patients.
Lived on a rich street, my neighbor got rich during internet boom in early 90s with computers and he said you gotta want it more than anything else and chase it to make lots of money. I know that sounds obvious but he said he had an agreement with his wife he'd never be home, working all the time, but in their mid 40s he'd sell and come home, and he did.

Unfortunately The majority of individuals seem unaware of and careless when it comes to investing, despite the fact that it should be the best thing a person can do for himself. My gains from stocks and cryptocurrencies are still having a significant impact on my fortune. So I have no inclination to rely entirely on my pay or to wait for the market to go up.

@@thelonegerman2314 you know, writing as a guy who had lost and made money, you're damn near the mark.
VERY well done video, friend. Good job asking these guys to be a part of it. BRAVO!
All were so gracious
Brilliant video Noah! Billionaires are considered abstract shadow people. This shows them for what they are, hard-working, intelligent, and personable people.
Then there's the Jeffrey Epsteins....
They're hoarding wealth while millions are starving, fuck em.
He nailed it, having kids "who want to be with you when they're adults."
True
Being called dad and having my adult children still wanting to be around me is priceless 😊
I can really appreciate the Kinko guy's candor. He knows what he's talking about, he's honesty, and he doesn't mince words
This is priceless. The biggest takeaway for me is what matters to them now. Our "why" is where we should focus while building a business.
Lets take notes guys.. All billionaires and no single one is wearing full designer clothes such as Gucci, Louis Vuitton etc. Great vid, so much value, thanks!!
He is too old to flex anyways…
😆
just remember he said 35k was expensive.
Dont by the products….buy the Brands! LVMH stocks 🎉
@@702prodigy He said it was expensive before he sold the business not after
I really see Paul as an older version of myself 😂 when I was a kid, instead of spending my money on the ice cream truck when my other friends didn’t have money, I used it to buy materials for a lemonade stand and put my friends to work, I took $5 and turned it into $40 and we all had treats when I ice cream truck came. When I had no money, I got my friends to gather buckets, soap, window cleaner, and old rags for free and you know what we did? Washed cars in our neighborhood. People gladly paid a bunch of neighborhood kids to clean their car instead of causing trouble. I became disillusioned with online hustle culture for a while but the tried and true method is to bring value to the marketplace not over saturate it in hopes of personal gain. Sure there is the what’s in it for me, but what value are you bringing to someone’s day? Is their car clean? How about their thirst? What about their heart strings? Have you pulled them by kids showing true American ingenuity by using their time to improve their community instead of destroy it? (Especially poor black kids like how I grew up)
💯
It's great to hear from them that the struggle, the hardwork, the sacrifice is all worth it. Make sure you work guys. Nothing comes out of procrastination, being lazy, unmotivated..
Just dont be blind chasing only after the money
@@namvoba5897 True, it's not the money, it's the service to humanity that brings the money.
If anyone chases money, money just rans too fast then we won't catch up, frustration follows.
Many young people who were born and raised in families of billionaires can't relate to any of those things
Creating wealth entails establishing positive routines, I had only $78k to my name at 42 when I first woke up to this reality. I chose the stock market as a medium of growth, got an excellent financial advisor, Financial management is a vital subject that many avoid, often leading to future regrets.
Indeed, currently I'm managing my finances wisely and being frugal. In the last 19 months, my investments grew by 43%, adding over $500K in profits. However, I've had losses in the past month, making me anxious. I'm unsure whether to sell everything or wait.
No doubt, having the right plan is invaluable, my portfolio is well-matched for every season of the market and recently hit 100% rise from early last year. I and my CFP are working on a 7 figure ballpark goal, tho this could take till Q3 2024.
This is definitely considerable! think you could suggest any professional/advisors i can get on the phone with? i'm in dire need of proper portfolio allocation
Annette Marie Holt is the licensed coach i use
Thanks, I just googled her and I'm really impressed with her credentials. I reached out to her since I need all the assistance I can get.
I'm 3 years short of being the magical 50 and I'm so looking forward to it.
Btw, this was a fantastically done video and i would like to add that as you grow older past your 40's, you not only stop giving a flying duck as to what people think about you, you also walk away from all negative and toxic people because you realize your self worth is the most priceless thing you will ever have.
Met Paul when I worked @ Kinkos a few months before he sold it to Fedex, one of the Coolest People to me and he would actually talk and have conversation with anyone. He made a lot of individual Store Owners Instant Millionaires that year by selling...
Noah you got to release the full talk with the billionaires. We need it .
Please!
Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.., I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life!!
Investors should exercise caution with their exposure and exercise caution when considering new investments, particularly during periods of inflation. It is advisable to seek guidance from a professional or trusted advisor in order to navigate this recession and achieve potential high yields.
Through closely monitoring the performance of my portfolio, I have witnessed a remarkable growth of $508k in just the past two quarters. This experience has shed light on why experienced traders are able to generate substantial returns even in lesser-known markets. It is safe to say that this bold decision has been one of the most impactful choices I have made recently.
I’ve actually been looking into advisors lately, the news I’ve been seeing in the market hasn’t been so encouraging. who’s the person guiding you?
Do you mind sharing info on the adviser who assisted you? I’m 40 now and would love to grow my stock portfolio and plan my retirement.
I'm working with a consultant named *'Nolan Velden Brent,'* whom I discovered through a CNBC interview where he was featured. After reaching out to him, he has been providing valuable entry and exit points for the securities I focus on. If you're interested in his supervision and expertise, you can look him up online using his name. Following his trade pattern has been a rewarding experience, and I have no regrets about doing so.
The Kinkos guy has some amazing quotes in this... I like him. I like his honesty, seems like a bit of a hardass, but understands what relationships are important.
Man. This video was Soo well done! You asked the most important questions that I think we all need to know. Seems like the biggest thing they had in common was hard work and commitment.
...don't forget the most important one, vision!
"You don't understand the luxury of waking up every morning and not worrying, and thinking about what you wanna think about". I need that on my wall.
notice: grounded humility, no nonsense, no flashy fluff. I personally work with one billionaire- he's exactly the same. (they always have VERY nice houses. but rarely supercars. never hip designer duds.)
I only regret not discovering Famester earlier.
They're all amazing gents. Paul Orfalea sounds the most intelligent of em all. To everyone involved, thanks for the content.
Success is having a loving family. Even these billionaires know money doesn’t mean shit if you’re not surrounded by people who truly love you.
Life is better when you have all of it. Loving family and billions. 👍
@@foreversolvent5334 life is still good when you have thousands and a family. Family is worth more than a billion
@@guilhermepicolloduarte8110 wrong!
@Beast Mode so… your mother? Your sister? “Having kids is selfish” how old are you
Money without great relationships means nothing! Excelent video!
in your 20s you care what people think about you, in your 40s you don't.
so so true. great video!
Kinko's is right, I've started my business this year and yes I like it being mine and learning from all this adventure but the final objective is to sell it.
TH-cam doing it’s work really well by recommending this great channel
03:01 is the core of this whole talk! A life-long advice by the billionaire.
The Kinkos guy is full of truth, the Ugg guy is living through the heart and the super rich guy will likely never be satisfied.
I appreciate that Mr. Kinko regrets his lack of gratitude for his employees. I hope he has taken that wisdom and spread it to his other wealthy clique members. But I have worked in hospitals all my life and know those people in the executive suites making the big bucks don't give two shits about employees, much more, the patients.
Finally.... a sponsor that has relevance to a TH-cam video. Great work
All good interview subjects, but you have to love Brian Smith’s attitude and outlook on life. Another great job Noah.
Paul (Kinkos founder) is next level. Legendary quote after quote in just one interview. Man, what a guy.
Agreed nick. Full interview is on channel
I'm an instant fan of Paul Orfalea. Funny stories and some good wisdom there.
The last guy the last point he made is the most important thing tbh
Fantastic! The Kinko's guy was great. It would be amazing to see a long format video with a guy like that.
best video I've seen in a while, and theres millions of these videos on youtube, thanks Noah.
"Success is when your kids wanna be around you when they're adults"... I totally agree! Plus, hearing my kids call me DAD, oh man! PRICELESS...! 👌👌
Yup
come to Asia. People have so much respect to elders.
Lol sounds nice until you have a 40 year old living in your basement
@@ohno7582 🤣🤣 I'm 38 years away from that, but thanks for the heads up. 😅
But let’s hope they eventually are able to leave you and live on their own.
Would be nice to see the actual full interviews! I'm pretty sure there's a hole lot of goodies that were left out. Nonetheless, thank you!
Lived on a rich street, my neighbor got rich during internet boom in early 90s with computers and he said you gotta want it more than anything else and chase it to make lots of money. I know that sounds obvious but he said he had an agreement with his wife he'd never be home, working all the time, but in their mid 40s he'd sell and come home, and he did.
enjoyed the regrets section 🔥the greatest name he was ever called in his life was "DAD"! #lifegoals
Thanks!
Full of gems. Take notes Everyone.
Absolutely eye opening video. Love it. Thank You
I like how small TH-camrs are the ones that get to meet Big People. Keep it up
“Now, I don’t have any bad gas. I sleep like a baby and my neck doesn’t hurt.” Now there’s a man that’s truly made it 😂
1:20 funny how it seems it was originally meant to be marketed towards surfers in the winter time. I think they’re probably the last people wearing ugg boots
Love what the Ugg owner said. It’s comforting knowing the rent is paid for a year or two. That’s my goal, true financial freedom while enjoying what I do and my family.
20’s you care what everyone thinks, 40’s you don’t really care and 60’s you realize no one was ever thinking about you in the first place that’s incredible wisdom
This is eye opening .. and great advice for someone starting out in Biz … great work ..
“I was in it for the money” once you love it you loose the objectivity … well said ..
The very best thing to a men, is when his kids call him DAD priceless 😊
A lot of wisdom in this video 👀 Thanks Noah!!
Shut up Jake
🤡
Sup clown ?
JAKE 👋👏
1.41 perfect line for u jake
1:30 - We had no idea it would take 20years
1:40 - When money hits the table that's when you find out character
3:40 - But our lifestyle did not change 💪🏽👌🏼👌🏼
4:50 - Miserable Millionaires
8:15 - You are so REAL. Greatest compliment.
🗿
I could listen to Paul Orfalea talk all day, that guy is hilarious.
All different perspectives but so much great wisdom.
"Coolest thing I've ever been called is Dad"
Hands down one of the best videos on TH-cam. You can replay this weekly.
This is such an expensive conversation . ✨ Thank you for this.
The Ugg’s man is the coolest of the bunch!
When i become a billionaire , i want to be like the guy who made Kinkos . He’s a cool billionaire!
The rich lads were amazing and articulated but the interviewer had good questions and that was enough to keep us engaged! Thank you for this!
Loved their really different personalities, all really successful men and seemed happy with the outcome of everything. Kudos to them.
2:45 “thinking about what YOU wanna think about”.
I always felt like my creativity would Skyrocket if I just had time to think, freely. This would be my favorite part too 💯
"Family is the only real wealth."
I heard this one sentence from a movie quite a long time ago, and I've never forgotten it ever since.
And financial security gives you the opportunity to devote time to that family
The Godfather. Best movie of all time.
Excellent video!! Just subscribed! ❤
Thanks so much!!
Viterbi is a legend in the world of electrical engineering. Viterbi codes, the trellis etc. As a DSP/COMMS engineer in ASICs and FPGAs, I've used his algorithms for decades. Again... legend.
That’s awesome to hear.
Yes i like the hustle , i used to walk the streets of the city knocking on the doors of large buildings to clean them, it paid off and now i just run crews , im 70 now and my "education " was poor . I became comfortable and independant .🇦🇺
Many people venture into crypto to be wealthy, meanwhile I just want to be debt free.
Unfortunately The majority of individuals seem unaware of and careless when it comes to investing, despite the fact that it should be the best thing a person can do for himself. My gains from stocks and cryptocurrencies are still having a significant impact on my fortune. So I have no inclination to rely entirely on my pay or to wait for the market to go up.
Assets that can make wealthy
Crypto
Stock
Real estate
Gold
@billymoris3564If you are using really a good broker or account manager is easier to earn from the market
I'm shocked someone mentioned Anna Wilson of UCLA Anderson financial institute.
Kinkos guy is so real. I wish everyone could be that honest...
Love the videos Noah! Great advice and the Ugg founder was so down to earth love his perspective
