Most interviews are like that you ask questions and the other person answers, it’s discussions or debates where they interrupt, or when their is opposing agenda/motive (then they can’t be really a interviews) btw interrupting to disagree and asking tough questions are different.
You seem like a genuinely nice guy and I'm happy your life has turned out good but did you ever stop to think about how your money has come from millions of average American families who have no choice but to pay whatever outrageous prices your industry sets at the pumps and our electric meters?

I'm so grateful to have stumbled upon your video and hearing Rafa's story. Currently in my mid twenties and I've hit the lowest point financially in my life. But I already know that the only way from here is up and it will get better, as long as I put the effort towards it. Videos like this can really help to change a persons mindset and help them find the motivation they need to change their own future for the better. Again, thanks for the great video!
You got this, i recently took a turn for the worse - was doing extremely well, making great money and my job gave us a 70% paycut. Lost everything basically and had to start over. The only way is up my friend
many in their twenties are in the lowest financial point in their life. You are in the perfect position to follow your dream. Much much tougher when you are in your 40's with a mortgage, wife and kids. Do it now!
Man Rafa story I can relate to it. Man tears come to my eyes just hear his story and how he now treat his family and friends well. Best interview I've seen on this podcast
I am Salvadorean as well, and I am also climbing the ladder as an entrepreneur. I love how humble he is, and I share the same experiences leaving in El Salvador under flying bullets in the war as a kid. God bless you and keep you fulfilling your purpose. You are an inspiration for us. Like Napoleon Hills said: " Whatever the mind of a man can conceive, and believe, it can achieve."
@@Moedrohead FYI You can say Salvadoran, Salvadorian, or Salvadorean in English. Be nice, and you also write it wrong, "salvadrean..." However it is you got the point. Peace and have a bless day.
@@richch1983same here brother except I was born in California to parents who at the time left to the United States to seek refuge and I then I was born in 1996. They told me stories of how they almost were forced to go into war but thanks to God they managed to make it to the United States. I appreciate them and I want to give back to them for everything they did for me

Rafa Martinez was so direct. I learned a lot from this video, including focus what you're good at. (I need to stop trying to be good at everything and focus on what gives me the best benefits)
This is my favorite video of yours! He is humble and knows he is blessed. I also believe the reason he is not stressed is because he has had nothing. That is a big lesson.
Wow great interview! I had a boss that was from El Salvador and he had a full time job at a prison and a landscaping and construction business he wasn’t a millionaire but dude was an animal! Definitely reminds me a lot of this guy cool as hell just couldn’t speak English very well at all but laughed all the time!
Your story is so heart wrenching, yet motivating. My husbands family migrated from Nicaragua back in the 40’s. He has stories similar to yours, of the struggles of his parents in this new land. They persevered and achieved their dream of a home, employment, freedom of religion, etc. Huge Kudos to your parents for their determination and bravery - and to you as well! It’s a beautiful story. (We could be related, who knows!) Thank you for sharing.
Gary Vee talks a lot about the "gift" of growing up poor as a child of immigrants. It forces a "hustle" mentality for the family and the kids learn it too (work hard or don't eat). I grew up in a typical middle class white family and if I am being honest, I feel comfortable, but complacent and hard to stay motivated. Don't get me wrong, I don't wish my family was poor, but I wish I had an inherited "hustle" in my blood. Some sort of survival mechanism engrained so I would work tremendously hard, and not coast through life.
I've heard this question answering "becoming a millionaire advice" many many times, but Rafa nailed it so well. 42:22 It's so true, I just love to see people in their element....super passionate about their work... its intoxicating. Almost all of them are either very happy, rich or sometimes both doing happy and rich doing that work. A person who is creative and arty should NEVER get a job working with numbers. Not only does it crush your soul, you will never earn a million dollars like the next person who loves working with numbers. Likewise, a person great at numbers shouldn't try to be the next Picasso.
Thank you I feel a lot of people don’t understand this. You can teach yourself anything in this life but there’s always that one thing you’re just naturally attracted to be good at
I love to hear the memories of a child/childhood. What drives us to do for others ALWAYS touches me. Maybe because of the vulnerability it takes to bring up those memories & the strength it takes to pull it off. The innocence is still there and it's beautifully touching. 💖
After a lackluster career in environmental consulting I went to UH to get my MBA to try to get into trading. I figured the richest people I had met were traders. It's a tough group to get into and I never got my shot. Such is life. Great interview. Rafa is one of the kind of guys who makes Houston a great place to live.

Not feeling motions (such as stress) is a common trait of psychopathy (btw, individuals diagnosed with psychopathy are not necessarily bad people or criminals. In fact, in some areas, it's adventagous to be this way).
Thank you for making this video and introduced me to Rafa. He's such a humble and down to earth person despite having everything at his fingertips. He's so generous and I cannot sense a single cockiness moment during the interview. From this day, he's now one of successful persons that I look up to. I'm doing trading now and very well have deep interest in cars and racing, I can find some similarities here and there. Now for me, to work hard and smart and make my dreams become a reality, and give back to communities and loved ones -- just like Rafa does. Thank you Noah and Rafa. Appreciate your sharing
@itjustaname then how this gentleman or the earlier one made by not being part of energy firm in latr part of their life into it if retail traders r not allowed
Fantastic interview Noah. Rafa impresses me in many ways. As a teacher, I love his message to find what you are good at, and that also that kids should, whenever possible, earn the things they are fortunate to have. Keep up the great work!
You're not good at anything when you start. We're all born clueless. It takes us a while just to learn not to shit and piss right where we stand. My advice to kids is you can learn anything, and you can become good at just about anything. If you're struggling with learning, you just need a better learning method or a better teacher. This is not a jab at you. just speaking from personal experience. Teaching is an art on its own, highly undervalued. Unfortunately.
As someone who was born in El Salvador and made the 30 day trip on foot after having to leave the country for the exact same reason, This is the type of video i needed to start my year!
I would imagine the reason that he doesn’t stress about losing money is because he comes from nothing and knows it’s not the end of the world losing everything

I remember when I just got into crypto back in 2019 but later in 2020 I ended up selling it because I was dumb and I didn't understand it. I studied and learned and now I know how it works. Got back into crypto early in 2023 with 10k and I’m up with 128k in a short period of time . I was able to build a business from my returns 💚
I'm new to cryptocurrency and don't understand how it really works. how Can someone know the right approach to investing and making good profits from cryptocurrency investments?
As a beginner investor, it’s essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable. Myself, I’m guided by Alex Gomez. A widely known crypto consultant
yeah 💯 Alex was my hope during the 'bear summer' last year. I did so many mistakes but also learned so much from it, and of course from Alex Gomez. He is my number one source when it comes to crypto and TA.
I started working with Alex back in June, and my financial goals have never been clearer. It’s like having a strategic partner for my money with a solid track record.
Excellent interview. I dont comment but this is 100 percent i can relate too. I can relate to this. Lost and found. And even now alot more to enjoy good or bad. Thank u . Best interview ever. Anyone on youtube shud listen to this advice
I learned the hard way the opposite way that doing what you are good at but miserable in backfires on you. I am happier learning to do better at what is interesting and worthwhile.
I lost everything this last week. Money, career, hobby, credit, ect. All for separate reasons. I'm actually almost impressed by how fast and hard I fell. I hope something like this is around the corner because I feel dead inside.
I can relate to Rafa. I was a migrant to the US as a little kid as well, thank god not due to war. But I remember at our elementary school in NJ there were kids that came that were refugees from El Salvador. I remember this one girl named Maria that was put in my class. She used to cry all the time. Her parents sent her to live with friends that were in the US. I felt so bad for her. I was the only one she spoke to as we both spoke Spanish. I remember that there used to be a name, that I cant remember now, for these refugee kids. His story is amazing. How you can come from war, leave everything behind then succeed, truly inspiring.
the guy using "gut".... heard these traders stories before. They usually spent more time in their garage than trading desk. Either he really is a whizzard or
Energy trading is insanely competitive. These days, without an ivy league degree and/or connections it's borderline impossible and without a firm you're stuck directionally trading.
This should give hope to anybody going through hard times. Rafa worked his ass off to become who he is and he seems like he will never take that for granted. We need more people like Rafa! This was a very refreshing interview, thank you.

Renewable energy sources, by definition, come from naturally recurrent, auto-replenishing processes, and gas is a fossil energy source that will not be replenished in our lifetimes or indeed many, many human lifetimes. The main compound of natural gas, methane, is a strong greenhouse gas contributing to 3% of all greenhouse gas emissions in the United States, for perspective.
Also, the processes associated with natural gas sourcing and drilling are environmentally problematic. When geologists seek out natural gas deposits on land, their vehicles frequently upset area vegetation. Air pollution and community disturbances are direct outgrowths of well drilling operations, and natural gas production can result in contaminated water that has to be carefully managed.
Sometimes natural gas is produced but has a high concentration of toxic hydrogen sulfide or other problems deeming it unsuitable for transport or sale. In these cases, natural gas is burned or “flared” at well sites, producing CO2 and many other compounds. Still, CO2 is not as potent a greenhouse gas as methane, making flaring marginally better than releasing natural gas into the air.
What a kind humble guy. He deserves, all his success.
I'm so grateful to have stumbled upon your video and hearing Rafa's story. Currently in my mid twenties and I've hit the lowest point financially in my life. But I already know that the only way from here is up and it will get better, as long as I put the effort towards it. Videos like this can really help to change a persons mindset and help them find the motivation they need to change their own future for the better. Again, thanks for the great video!
You got this 💪🏾
He once talked about Elon musk investing through MSTR, heard that?
You got this, i recently took a turn for the worse - was doing extremely well, making great money and my job gave us a 70% paycut. Lost everything basically and had to start over. The only way is up my friend
i'd love to hear what lowest point in your twenty's was or is
many in their twenties are in the lowest financial point in their life. You are in the perfect position to follow your dream. Much much tougher when you are in your 40's with a mortgage, wife and kids. Do it now!
Man Rafa story I can relate to it. Man tears come to my eyes just hear his story and how he now treat his family and friends well. Best interview I've seen on this podcast
From the thumbnail thought it was Alex Hormozi 😂😂😂
i thought it was chum lee from pawn stars
This is Alejandro Jormozi
Same here
Rafa Martinez, what a beautiful person you are, you have my huge respect -that humility and goodness in you is just great.
RAFA HAS THE BEST ATTITUDE being able to bring friends and family along for the ride is happiness
None of the people you see in these videos got rich from watching someone's video and purchasing a course. NONE.
It's a pattern I've also recognized
I am Salvadorean as well, and I am also climbing the ladder as an entrepreneur.
I love how humble he is, and I share the same experiences leaving in El Salvador under flying bullets in the war as a kid.
God bless you and keep you fulfilling your purpose.
You are an inspiration for us.
Like Napoleon Hills said:
" Whatever the mind of a man can conceive, and believe, it can achieve."
salvadrean whats that? you mean salvadorian haha
@@Moedrohead FYI You can say Salvadoran, Salvadorian, or Salvadorean in English. Be nice, and you also write it wrong, "salvadrean..." However it is you got the point. Peace and have a bless day.
@@richch1983same here brother except I was born in California to parents who at the time left to the United States to seek refuge and I then I was born in 1996. They told me stories of how they almost were forced to go into war but thanks to God they managed to make it to the United States. I appreciate them and I want to give back to them for everything they did for me
@XxAlex530xX You will.
Make it happen, everything is possible when the man is ready to overpass any circumstances until he achieves what he wants.
Love these interviews, Noah. And, what an inspiring story from Rafa
I really respect Rafa and what he's done. I was tearing up listening to his story. Thanks for sharing.

Another Bomb interview, Defo one of the best on the channel. Shout out to Rafa.
Thanks ryan. Agreed. Rafa is legendary
This is one of the best interviews I've seen in a long time! Thanks, Noah and Rafa for taking the time to do this interview. - A fellow Texan.
Man, Rafa's words hit you right in the feels, just pure rawness from the heart! ❤
amazing episode. Rafa is very relateable and down to earth dude imo.
Rafa Martinez was so direct. I learned a lot from this video, including focus what you're good at. (I need to stop trying to be good at everything and focus on what gives me the best benefits)
Get in touch!📲
This is my favorite video of yours! He is humble and knows he is blessed. I also believe the reason he is not stressed is because he has had nothing. That is a big lesson.
Loved this interview. Raw and emotional! Amazing story and just a genuine nice guy who has created his own success. 🙌
Totally agree
Clear, concise, and easy to follow. Great job explaining!
What a guy to meet at the track! Thanks for following up with him 👏🏻
Didn't know about Rafa and wow, this was an awesome interview as others have said.
I can relate to his story. Struggling to survive makes you an amazing entrepreneur, well done Rafa! 👏
Yes, as long as you don't show desperation to potential clients/opportunities.
What a great guest. I am deeply impressed by his achievements and his courage to show up and be vulnerable. Respect.
Amazing guy who truly appreciates the sacrifices that his parents made for him. Good luck to you, Rafa.
He once talked about Elon musk investing through MSTR, heard that?
Absolutely amazing
As a Mexican. I understand some of his struggles. This is the definition of the American dream.
Wow great interview! I had a boss that was from El Salvador and he had a full time job at a prison and a landscaping and construction business he wasn’t a millionaire but dude was an animal! Definitely reminds me a lot of this guy cool as hell just couldn’t speak English very well at all but laughed all the time!
Your story is so heart wrenching, yet motivating. My husbands family migrated from Nicaragua back in the 40’s. He has stories similar to yours, of the struggles of his parents in this new land. They persevered and achieved their dream of a home, employment, freedom of religion, etc. Huge Kudos to your parents for their determination and bravery - and to you as well! It’s a beautiful story. (We could be related, who knows!) Thank you for sharing.

Gary Vee talks a lot about the "gift" of growing up poor as a child of immigrants. It forces a "hustle" mentality for the family and the kids learn it too (work hard or don't eat). I grew up in a typical middle class white family and if I am being honest, I feel comfortable, but complacent and hard to stay motivated. Don't get me wrong, I don't wish my family was poor, but I wish I had an inherited "hustle" in my blood. Some sort of survival mechanism engrained so I would work tremendously hard, and not coast through life.
@@canadude6401 ohh must have been quite tough growing up for you
These long format videos you're doing are awesome!
I've heard this question answering "becoming a millionaire advice" many many times, but Rafa nailed it so well. 42:22
It's so true, I just love to see people in their element....super passionate about their work... its intoxicating. Almost all of them are either very happy, rich or sometimes both doing happy and rich doing that work.
A person who is creative and arty should NEVER get a job working with numbers. Not only does it crush your soul, you will never earn a million dollars like the next person who loves working with numbers. Likewise, a person great at numbers shouldn't try to be the next Picasso.
I don’t know, it seems to have worked for Hunter Biden.
Thank you I feel a lot of people don’t understand this. You can teach yourself anything in this life but there’s always that one thing you’re just naturally attracted to be good at
I love to hear the memories of a child/childhood. What drives us to do for others ALWAYS touches me. Maybe because of the vulnerability it takes to bring up those memories & the strength it takes to pull it off. The innocence is still there and it's beautifully touching. 💖
This dude is amazing; it's so nice to see good, deserving people succeeding in this world. Good on you man.
This guy is the best interview I've ever seen. What a great life story too.
This guy is such a genuine down to earth and humble entrepreneur, really enjoyed this. He deserves it all such a good soul!
After a lackluster career in environmental consulting I went to UH to get my MBA to try to get into trading. I figured the richest people I had met were traders. It's a tough group to get into and I never got my shot. Such is life.
Great interview. Rafa is one of the kind of guys who makes Houston a great place to live.
Did you succeed in getting your MBA?
th-cam.com/video/fZe94WAXDEY/w-d-xo.html
Easy money over.
Props to Rafa for everything, from his personality to his achievements.
Awesome he achieved a lot and even more awesome he’s done that through Elon Musk and Michael Saylor

Rafa, straight up inspiration & such a truly humble man. Thank you for the time doing this interview and sharing with us all. Respect.
Bro… this hit me.. thanks for sharing your story man. Proud to have you here in this world brother.
Not feeling motions (such as stress) is a common trait of psychopathy (btw, individuals diagnosed with psychopathy are not necessarily bad people or criminals. In fact, in some areas, it's adventagous to be this way).
Rafa deserved the success, his story is mind-blowing, thanks for this very human and emotional interview of an "NG High Roller"
Thank you for making this video and introduced me to Rafa.
He's such a humble and down to earth person despite having everything at his fingertips. He's so generous and I cannot sense a single cockiness moment during the interview. From this day, he's now one of successful persons that I look up to. I'm doing trading now and very well have deep interest in cars and racing, I can find some similarities here and there. Now for me, to work hard and smart and make my dreams become a reality, and give back to communities and loved ones -- just like Rafa does.
Thank you Noah and Rafa. Appreciate your sharing
Respect and humbleness. Thanks for this fine upload.
What a stud! Thanks for sharing!
Interestingly this is the second guest that's become extremely wealthy by trading energy on the markets.
Haha starting to see a pattern here
Makes sense actually, Noah lives in Texas, probably the biggest state for that.
@itjustaname then how this gentleman or the earlier one made by not being part of energy firm in latr part of their life into it if retail traders r not allowed
Very nice guy. People like him deserve that success.
Another good one Noah.
Fantastic interview Noah. Rafa impresses me in many ways. As a teacher, I love his message to find what you are good at, and that also that kids should, whenever possible, earn the things they are fortunate to have. Keep up the great work!
You're not good at anything when you start. We're all born clueless. It takes us a while just to learn not to shit and piss right where we stand. My advice to kids is you can learn anything, and you can become good at just about anything. If you're struggling with learning, you just need a better learning method or a better teacher. This is not a jab at you. just speaking from personal experience. Teaching is an art on its own, highly undervalued. Unfortunately.
As someone who was born in El Salvador and made the 30 day trip on foot after having to leave the country for the exact same reason, This is the type of video i needed to start my year!
Wow, Rafa is an amazing guy! Never heard of him before, but I'm already a fan
I would imagine the reason that he doesn’t stress about losing money is because he comes from nothing and knows it’s not the end of the world losing everything
This was an amazing interview. Respect for putting this together. More content like this is valuable.
Rafa is an inspirational guy

Good thinking, but don't just hope. Find your niche, and what your good at early in life, then act on it.
Yes let’s get it brother!! Freaking rights to be on that grind. Love to see it and follow your journey. 👊

Awesome story and content!
Not cool to replace his brand with a lambo logo on his cap in the thumbnail though.
Appreciate that all the links are in the description.
Awesome interview! Really stoked humans like you exist, Rafa!
This is my favorite interview you have done. This was so interesting and genuine! Thank you Noah and Rafa 🙂❤👏👏👏
I remember when I just got into crypto back in 2019 but later in 2020 I ended up selling it because I was dumb and I didn't understand it. I studied and learned and now I know how it works. Got back into crypto early in 2023 with 10k and I’m up with 128k in a short period of time . I was able to build a business from my returns 💚
I'm new to cryptocurrency and don't understand how it really works. how Can someone know the right approach to investing and making good profits from cryptocurrency investments?
As a beginner investor, it’s essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable. Myself, I’m guided by Alex Gomez. A widely known crypto consultant
I've come across this name before, is he really reliable?
yeah 💯 Alex was my hope during the 'bear summer' last year. I did so many mistakes but also learned so much from it, and of course from Alex Gomez. He is my number one source when it comes to crypto and TA.
I started working with Alex back in June, and my financial goals have never been clearer. It’s like having a strategic partner for my money with a solid track record.
Excellent interview. I dont comment but this is 100 percent i can relate too. I can relate to this. Lost and found. And even now alot more to enjoy good or bad. Thank u . Best interview ever. Anyone on youtube shud listen to this advice
I like your form of interviews it feels a bit different from traditional boring podcasts
I learned the hard way the opposite way that doing what you are good at but miserable in backfires on you. I am happier learning to do better at what is interesting and worthwhile.
You can tell this the type of dude that will see a homeless person and buy them a house
An amazing person. Really enjoyed this one Noah.
Great job,
Thank you
I lost everything this last week. Money, career, hobby, credit, ect. All for separate reasons. I'm actually almost impressed by how fast and hard I fell. I hope something like this is around the corner because I feel dead inside.
Best wishes
God Bless. Going through it myself.
Ya I feel you I did to I bounced back tho don’t give up
Thinkfromabove
One more step
One more breath
One more
How are you doing now? Did you find your way?
Hes a real one. Respect, can hear the pain in his voice
One of the best interviews done by uncle Noah. Rafa is such a humble chill guy. Wish him all the best.
What a great Interview! Thank you Noah!! Rafa is truly inspiring!!!
Thanks for the comment Shefers
@@noahkagan Does Rafa or you hav any suggestions on any good read, if someone is interested on learning energy trading?
I can relate to Rafa. I was a migrant to the US as a little kid as well, thank god not due to war. But I remember at our elementary school in NJ there were kids that came that were refugees from El Salvador. I remember this one girl named Maria that was put in my class. She used to cry all the time. Her parents sent her to live with friends that were in the US. I felt so bad for her. I was the only one she spoke to as we both spoke Spanish. I remember that there used to be a name, that I cant remember now, for these refugee kids. His story is amazing. How you can come from war, leave everything behind then succeed, truly inspiring.
Thanks for sharing.

I call BS. "I lost 60 million in like three weeks, then, I like ..made 150 million back."
the guy using "gut".... heard these traders stories before. They usually spent more time in their garage than trading desk. Either he really is a whizzard or
Thanks for this Noah, very inspiring
Please keep making videos like this!! Also Rafa is a legend, genuinely explaining the process of the energy trading was so enlightening!
I loved his presence and fully agree on appreciate him sharing his story with us
@@noahkagan Could agree more Noah he is very authentic 👏 amazing video!!
Wow this hits hard especially the no stress part, more valuable to me that the getting more money part! Validated my prior outlook on life! Thanks
Wow first 10 seconds I was like "what happened to Alex Hormozi? why does he sound like this"
You got chubby too😂
Awesome interview. Great job. Thank you to Rafa for the insight and just being real as can be.
Energy trading is insanely competitive. These days, without an ivy league degree and/or connections it's borderline impossible and without a firm you're stuck directionally trading.
Not that hard. Any good college in math, economics, Finance etc with good GPA and competitive character will do well
Man this interview was deep.. Man keep doing what you are doing! Thank you.
This should give hope to anybody going through hard times. Rafa worked his ass off to become who he is and he seems like he will never take that for granted. We need more people like Rafa! This was a very refreshing interview, thank you.

I learnt nothing and it feels like he’s been so lucky
