@@feo130 He did fall into it because of his brother in-law. But you have to give him credit for applying himself and taking some serious hits along the way yet staying on course. I'm sure a good amount of us has passed up potentially great opportunities. I'm not saying it happens to everyone, but this guy definitely put in work to be in the position he's in now.
The perks of coming from a wealthy family willing to give you jobs at the "firm", money to invest in, and security when you "lose a ton of money" at an early stage
@@DOPEdwarf Exactly. Not discounting any of his efforts but many individuals born into lesser situations certainly could be just as "successful" had they been born into an extremely wealthy family.
I learned that at 35, i am broke and will probably die broke. I have worked a good portion of my life but never had a passion to pursue because working to help family or just survive was always the focus. Shout out to those of you who found success and to those who are like me, don’t allow anyone to look down at what you do. Working in any job is a blessing in itself.
working to survive is such a real thing man. If you don't come from a wealthy family, climbing the financial ladder is WAYY harder. If you can find a way to get a job that allows you to save just a little, that is a huge step.
I started with nothing but a junky car and worked till I started investing ,made 14k the first year and am set to make over 200,000 this year. I regret not learning to trade till I was 42,but it's never to late and today is the day
A mans life is what his thoughts think of it. Self belief is the most important thing to becoming successful. Following your passions is a myth, instead find an opportunity or create one and take your passion with you. Learn a high income skill for free (TH-cam) and invest in yourself. All of this can be done while working a full time job.
This was very different than the regular “what do you do for a living” videos you usually find online. All of these people were very insightful and informative with their answers. You can tell they’re true leaders, I loved it!
I didn’t expect to get so much out of this video. All of these people seem really genuine and intelligent. Some great nuggets here, definitely going to circle back on this one in the future!
It's good to see someone actually get out and interact with the public, definitely a lot of nuggets here. I would love to see them take it further, about taking action rather than talking.
Can’t believe more people aren’t commenting about Newtown the last interviewee! What an amazing guy, the fact that he’s a yoga teacher, invests, came from a third world country and explains that what’s important is to be of service to others😮! Wow what an amazing human being
First guy gave me so many gems. Crazy that he’s so young and so wise. I needed every word he said. Just started selling life insurance and looking to get my securities license.
man i feel like for a young adult looking for connections paying this membership and skimping out on other expenses would be so worth it. you would probably meet so many people that could help you into a great career
Btw a good question to ask people next time is how did they discover they had a valuable skill. For many we may have a skill or an ability to do something but don’t notice the value in said skill. If possible I would love to see an episode of how someone took the steps to understand they have a valuable skill and how they put it into motion. Honestly those first steps in my opinion are probably way more important than what was discussed here
@@runway5338 I discovered I had a knack for childcare during the recession. I had been living in my van and working a slew of low paying jobs. So when winter encroached I took that money and volunteered on boats in the Caribbean. Well, on one island I met a 5 year old girl who wanted me to take her to the beach 🏖️ and her family let me! We had such a good time that I thought, this is my calling. So when I got back I started babysitting for rich people 😆. My other skill I discovered by necessity and that is being a landlady and renting out rooms. Having the patience to put up with random strangers in the house takes practice, but it's all about survival. One thing I can't do is work in employment with other adults as some of them are just awful. 😆
Great interviews! I like how it wasn't just a bunch of bankers or tech millionaires, but rather people from a variety of career backgrounds. The common thread was that they all seemed to have very focused and driven personalities - driven to find career success, driven to learn from failures, driven to take care of their physical and mental health, and driven to continue to learn.
The first guy you could tell was so genuine and knew what he was talking about. He gave great advice and you can tell he tries to truly live like a successful person
I'm so glad that Jim mentioned the stats about being sure of your trade. You have to assess what your downside risk is for your portfolio and diversify with different asset classes such as both real estate and stocks.
this was surprisingly really insightful. i love how after you thanked everyone, most of them thanked you back because they felt like they got something out of the interaction as well.
All of these conversations were amazing! Seems like a lot of these people are practicing the things that most people say to do (think long-term and not short-term, invest into yourself, doing what you thoroughly enjoy, health is wealth, read books, journal/reflect, have mentors who are further ahead than you so you don't make as many mistakes, networking, etc.)
I've been an Equinox member for over a decade. I'm a health coach and write it off on my taxes 😆. I am a member at one of their exclusive gyms at the highest level. At the same time, I also was a trainer there when it was owned by another high end chain. Equinox is the best investment in my health. And at the same time, gives me the motivation to keep building my business to enjoy luxuries like this and not worry about it.
I work in tech and pay 320 at equinox because when I want to choke someone at work I just get it out at the gym and the amenities are impeccable. The ambiance at equinox really helps you relax, plus their classes are amazing
agreed selling calls on bluechip stocks is probably one of the safest and quickest ways to snowball money into wealth and all the other things he had going too with solar sales. all at 24. very imprssive
"My brother-in-law set me up with a firm" yeah that's definitely solid advice. Just make sure you have an attractive sister so she can marry a wealthy guy with many connections and get you the job the other 50 more qualified applicants could not get. The first guy is everything wrong with the world. It's about LITERALLY who you know and NOT what you know
I would have to agree with Sunny, most people don’t enjoy the gym and Equinox provides a gym experience that really isn’t comparable to other mainstream gyms or local gyms. The amenities provided alone do give a luxurious feel without having to pay unnecessarily high. The monthly payments make sense to an extent, but I feel like $250 - $300 is where the membership should be
Equinox comes as a free perk for a lot of people through their employer. I had it for a few years at no cost, so it doesn't always mean they're paying/ loaded.
@@abdulqasemi3585 that's actually not really true. I work at a tea shop paying me $20 per hour full time and they pay for my Equinox membership through a gym reimbursement perk.
these interviews were so refreshing. the questions and answers were great. i was not expecting to learn a great deal of helpful information at a gym. appreciate you Charlie & all
These episodes are my favourites. Just 20 mins before my work starts in the morning and I am so pumped up and ready for the day. Looking for more. Thank you so much for all these videos.
I think the value of college depends on so many factors. I come from a poor family and was raised in the hood. Education in itself became a currency. I was too smart to settle for that environment. College was my way out and it’s made a huge difference in my life. I don’t know if I’ll be getting a Master’s though👀
You have to continue with these video series! I love to watch them, I would even watch a longer version! It is always amazing to hear some of those successful people giving advice.
Biggest expense was always living, ie house or rent payments, things to splurge on was ALWAYS food, and every single one of them talked about connections and investing, whether that was in stocks or yourself through learning and even vacations.
Joining equinox is one of those decisions I made that had to be more involved than other gym memberships I previously had. It's not cheap, I don't think anyone, well most Equinox members at least, would argue that fact. With that cost comes some considerations with other spending we do regularly. Instead of burning money on multiple days of the week drinking and eating out, cut some of it, make healthier food and put the extra to the gym membership. It required some introspection and even if I didn't need to cut spending on things, it made me realize the self-destructive habits I had and needed to be worked on. Also, part of why I love this place is that everyone is there for a purpose: to improve themselves while being respectful to everyone around them. I've not had a day at the gym where others will make you feel weird, conscious or unsafe. The members, staff and the especially the environment is just very accommodating for everyone. Lastly, if you're the type that is always on the go. A consistent class schedule, solid equipment availability and well maintained amenities do go a long way in making the gym going experience more enjoyable. I go before and after work so a nice clean shower room is so nice to have. Big plus is that I've not had the types of people who record and get mad if you're in their videos.
I used to be a member of this gym for two years and loved it. I would work on my laptop in the cafe and work out twice a day (usually weights and a class). For someone who spent more than half my workweek there, it was totally worth it. Also the people there are (mostly) really genuine like you show in this video.
This is gold man! Thank you so much for finding people who actually were open enough to share such valuable nuggets with us. And that last girl, I hope you got her number lol
That yoga teacher looks great for his age! I've been doing and loving yoga for months now and I've been thinking about becoming licensed to teach it as well so I appreciate his advice on that
My office overlooks this gym, always neat to hear the exotics roll up and then peak out the window to see what it is. Good lunch spot for a healthy meal too!
Love how so many of them recommend simply not spending money on things you don't need as a way of building wealth. I lost my job at the start of the pandemic and went to work at a big box warehouse for a while. I was surprised by the fancy cars the other workers drove, the expensive shoes and clothes, etc. We were making $20/hr. Makes no sense. Now that I'm back to a regular job and making a good salary, I still drive my older Toyota and invest instead of buy things I don't need. Feel bad for the warehouse workers though.
@@KK-pm7ud That's because they already made it and they also view it as an investment on their mental and physical health which benefits their business. It's not expensive for someone who makes hundreds of thousands per year for years. It doesn't get in the way of their financial goals. The saving advice is for people on the come up who haven't made enough to splurge... they will never grow their business if they always blow their profits on luxury items.
you never know who going to be there some with great life experience and other paying to be around that energy! interesting piece and lots of good advice here too!
Crazy how legit that David guy is, super humble, super down to earth, dude just got a good head on his shoulders and a strong work ethic. That dude is fucking legit!
Kateri had great points about college and learning from others different from you. It’s not just about what you major in. I couldn’t imagine not learning the things I did in college, through my social mentors, friends and interactions. You learn through experience from not only yourself , but countless others. This goes for mistakes and successes
@@rssspt ^^ I did that. Majored in STEM, graduated recently, and just got a job making nearly $60k yearly. College works. Enroll, find mentors, and work hard. Good luck!
Yup! My friend spends 400 a month on Pilates/Gym & she said she’s actually saving money now since she’s not going out spending money on alcohol and going out
Hearing those L.A. rent price tags certainly makes me grateful for mine here in Michigan. I do miss my Miracle Mile studio apartment @ Wilshire + La Brea!!! Hard to believe rent was just $1165 in the heart of it back when I paid it 2014 to 2017. Still miss everything that came with it!
Very informative. I am currently 26 and for the past years I have always said I want to invest in stocks or something that will provide me with a good amount of returns but it's easier said than done. You really need to know what you are doing if you don't want to lose your money. I have yet to start investing, I just keep procrastinating on doing research and also life gets in the way.
Hey Charlie, I love these interview type videos as it gives me a fresh vibe from your channel and they are also value-packed. I would love to see more of such value packed videos. Keep them coming :)
Can't believe content like this is free. People take everything for granted nowadays that we forget just a few years ago insights like this, though barely scratch the surface, are only available if you're really well connected or have decent amount of resources.
I come across financial channels when I can, and I’m glad I can add another one to my list to watch. It’s a pleasure to come across this channel and can’t wait to learn! Thank you, Charlie!
I always wondered who worked out at Equinox because I sure don’t have the income for it just yet haha. Crazy to see how many people were self employed and had their own business. That’s the dream! Loved this video Charlie.
Daytrader here, stock options are the most riskiest asset classes. I do not recommend it to newer people, people who don’t want contribute a lot of time, and not enough capital. Like the guy said, he lost $200k in one day. That’s not rare, it’s common for many people. He was lucky and recovered while many many couldn’t and lost it all, their life savings and emergency funds. Stick to safer investments.
@@loumulet im guessing sucken cost fallacy or gamblers, since they technically are gambling. You never know when a war can happen or pandemic that completely would change the market
@@loumulet because I am good at it. I didn’t gamble too much unlike others when I first started. However, I did lost money when I first started out, when I was 18. But I did learn and learn. I was 18 at the time so I had the whole world/time to learn it. Btw I started at 16 but due to school didn’t had the time. If I was a lot older and a job I would probably wouldn’t and I would’ve gamble some of my savings. Stocks is the game of losers and winners. Each trade you buy or sell is someone’s win or loss.
I have watched too many videos on homeless and drug/mental issues that made me feel hopeless for this country. This video kinda cheered me up. There are still some sane people in CA.
straight lies, they aren't worrying about generic foods vs branded foods, which is maybe a $20 difference in a grocery haul. they're most likely concerned if they run businesses with large quantities of food, but they aren't concerned about a $1 on dry pasta noodles
Millionaires spending $300/month on gym when you can get the same output for less. THAT’S STUPID! Food choices are intensely personal, what people put in their bodies is extremely important.
Good interview, mostly because you asked good questions that weren't presumptive--well done. I noticed many of them mentioned networking and social skills; one thing that cannot be taught in a classroom.
Kateri has it right! Your SELF should be the most expensive thing you own! Vitamins, exercise, grooming, dental, hygiene, you should be spending the most on your mental, physical, and spiritual health.
This was really refreshing to watch, I'm currently on my way to achieving financial freedom and loved how all of these people have very similar mind sets as each other and myself. So I know that I'm definitely choosing the best path by investing in myself and learning that one profitable skill so that I can market myself and do positive things for people.

I want to be his friend! He seems awesome
I agree, he sound intelligent and articulate. Cool dude.
is he single?
If he survived the drop in the first half of 2022 selling put options, then he is truly good at trading.
Wow 24 years old, jacked, making $400k a year and owns a $750k home. Congrats to that guy. Whole life ahead of him and he already won.

Joining equinox is one of those decisions I made that had to be more involved than other gym memberships I previously had. It's not cheap, I don't think anyone, well most Equinox members at least, would argue that fact. With that cost comes some considerations with other spending we do regularly. Instead of burning money on multiple days of the week drinking and eating out, cut some of it, make healthier food and put the extra to the gym membership. It required some introspection and even if I didn't need to cut spending on things, it made me realize the self-destructive habits I had and needed to be worked on.

i'm actually surprised i lasted the whole video. really great interviewing style. learned a lot from these individuals
I used to be a member of this gym for two years and loved it. I would work on my laptop in the cafe and work out twice a day (usually weights and a class). For someone who spent more than half my workweek there, it was totally worth it. Also the people there are (mostly) really genuine like you show in this video.
Interesting…
Which equinox is this? The facilities look amazing.
@@ketchyshubby It's Sports Club Orange County in Irvine.
@@achintsanghi4169 That’s good.
The one common denominator between everyone is that they’ve all got a good head on their shoulders! Great video and great perspective
Newton was super wholesome, we should all strive to be more like this man
I agree
Love how the people who are a bit older (in their 50s) look so young! Health is truly wealth.
Wow the first guy being 24 speaking like he does and have all that knowledge is amazing!
This is gold man! Thank you so much for finding people who actually were open enough to share such valuable nuggets with us. And that last girl, I hope you got her number lol
I came lookin for this reply, I was thinkin the same thang lmaoooo
That yoga teacher looks great for his age! I've been doing and loving yoga for months now and I've been thinking about becoming licensed to teach it as well so I appreciate his advice on that
Yes!
"Failure can be an opportunity to analyze yourself & kick your own butt" great advice from the older guy (Jim)
Every one of your videos are amazing. I get a ton of value from them. Gonna subscribe
My office overlooks this gym, always neat to hear the exotics roll up and then peak out the window to see what it is. Good lunch spot for a healthy meal too!
you would be surprised how great the gym is for networking! first guy nailed it
this was incredible. They should show this to high school student, and also college students. Come to think of it, everyone should watch this lol.
Show what? How apparently normal full time jobs don’t exist anymore?
@@mathewwilson9776 I like the message that success doesn’t come financially. Invest in your health is just as much as your finances
Yes very inspirational for ideas
Love how so many of them recommend simply not spending money on things you don't need as a way of building wealth.
I lost my job at the start of the pandemic and went to work at a big box warehouse for a while. I was surprised by the fancy cars the other workers drove, the expensive shoes and clothes, etc. We were making $20/hr. Makes no sense.
Now that I'm back to a regular job and making a good salary, I still drive my older Toyota and invest instead of buy things I don't need. Feel bad for the warehouse workers though.
Same. Car is paid off and I’ve got money in my savings/stocks . it feels good to not have expenses I can’t afford like a fancy car etc.
they could be all drug dealers
where do you invest im so loosed man
Ironic given that they spend so much on a gym membership
@@KK-pm7ud That's because they already made it and they also view it as an investment on their mental and physical health which benefits their business. It's not expensive for someone who makes hundreds of thousands per year for years. It doesn't get in the way of their financial goals. The saving advice is for people on the come up who haven't made enough to splurge... they will never grow their business if they always blow their profits on luxury items.
you never know who going to be there some with great life experience and other paying to be around that energy! interesting piece and lots of good advice here too!
18:13 Good for Lin for pushing her comfort zone, and being the interviewer!!!
Crazy how legit that David guy is, super humble, super down to earth, dude just got a good head on his shoulders and a strong work ethic. That dude is fucking legit!
Kateri had great points about college and learning from others different from you. It’s not just about what you major in. I couldn’t imagine not learning the things I did in college, through my social mentors, friends and interactions. You learn through experience from not only yourself , but countless others. This goes for mistakes and successes
Damn, makes me wish I went to college. Various life situations and health issues derailed me from that path but maybe it's not too late. Who knows...
@@rssspt go to community college and transfer
@@rssspt ^^ I did that. Majored in STEM, graduated recently, and just got a job making nearly $60k yearly. College works. Enroll, find mentors, and work hard. Good luck!
I tried community College. Mind doesn't work. Just fail no matter how hard I try
@@sadhu7191 life doesn't care about your excuses. let's work.
$350 a month... some folks spend that on alcohol... they're not rich dude.. they just set their priorities straight down to health.
Yup! My friend spends 400 a month on Pilates/Gym & she said she’s actually saving money now since she’s not going out spending money on alcohol and going out
@@kennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn1242 or you could not spend money on alcohol AND not spend $300 on a gym membership 😅
This video honestly motivated me to go to the gym. Thank you 🙌🏼
Wow they're all so well spoken. Also, those people who were 50+ years old look so much younger than their age!
First person interviewed was definitely very transparent on his answers, which is appreciated. Also very good questions.
this interviewer is asking the right questions everytime
Loved this segment, I've always wondered these things when I'm out and people watching, please make more!
Hearing those L.A. rent price tags certainly makes me grateful for mine here in Michigan. I do miss my Miracle Mile studio apartment @ Wilshire + La Brea!!! Hard to believe rent was just $1165 in the heart of it back when I paid it 2014 to 2017. Still miss everything that came with it!
Wow that sounds like a deal. I wanted to live in that area but moved to Los Feliz instead. I’m tempted to move somewhere else but unsure.
I love how Lin has the most replayed segment in this video 😂
Very informative. I am currently 26 and for the past years I have always said I want to invest in stocks or something that will provide me with a good amount of returns but it's easier said than done. You really need to know what you are doing if you don't want to lose your money. I have yet to start investing, I just keep procrastinating on doing research and also life gets in the way.
Scared money makes no money.
VOO VTI or SPHD. Problem solved.
Basically gambling
Just start saving and eliminating debt
The fact that this man is 51 blew my mind. Looks amazing
Hey Charlie, I love these interview type videos as it gives me a fresh vibe from your channel and they are also value-packed. I would love to see more of such value packed videos. Keep them coming :)
Dude the cuts!!! I thought my PC was dropping frames but every second you had a cut - chill.
Can't believe content like this is free. People take everything for granted nowadays that we forget just a few years ago insights like this, though barely scratch the surface, are only available if you're really well connected or have decent amount of resources.
I come across financial channels when I can, and I’m glad I can add another one to my list to watch. It’s a pleasure to come across this channel and can’t wait to learn! Thank you, Charlie!
When she took the mic, and switched the interview around... thats called chemistry.
David is spot on with his advice
Yup!!
He spoke so well and had such quick responses for a 24 year old. Impressive
The first guy, wow! Coming from someone in sales, his advice is spot on! He knows his stuff!! All this was advice I’ve been given.
Omg I am so thankful for this video. I wasn’t looking this video. Just saw it on my feed .. thank you
All these people have amazing social skills, I'm impressed.
I guarantee this video changed a life. Invaluable information here 💯
I always wondered who worked out at Equinox because I sure don’t have the income for it just yet haha. Crazy to see how many people were self employed and had their own business. That’s the dream! Loved this video Charlie.
Newton was a breath of fresh air, so inspiring and full of love :’)
its all about the networking! That first guy would be such a solid mentor
Daytrader here, stock options are the most riskiest asset classes. I do not recommend it to newer people, people who don’t want contribute a lot of time, and not enough capital.
Like the guy said, he lost $200k in one day. That’s not rare, it’s common for many people. He was lucky and recovered while many many couldn’t and lost it all, their life savings and emergency funds.
Stick to safer investments.
why keep going if you know it's so risky? (genuinely asking)
@@loumulet im guessing sucken cost fallacy or gamblers, since they technically are gambling. You never know when a war can happen or pandemic that completely would change the market
@@loumulet because I am good at it. I didn’t gamble too much unlike others when I first started. However, I did lost money when I first started out, when I was 18. But I did learn and learn. I was 18 at the time so I had the whole world/time to learn it. Btw I started at 16 but due to school didn’t had the time. If I was a lot older and a job I would probably wouldn’t and I would’ve gamble some of my savings.
Stocks is the game of losers and winners. Each trade you buy or sell is someone’s win or loss.
Thank you for putting yourself out there and getting all these gems for us! You rock 🙏🏻
I love how that one dude brought in some probability when tallking options. The P(A&B) = P(A) * P(B) thing.
After I finished watching the video, I had to go back to watch that first guy again. He is so well spoken and inspiring.
Love how she turned it on you at the end. Quick thinking on your behalf and great advice all around. I need to ditch my LA Fitness Membership! haha!
I have watched too many videos on homeless and drug/mental issues that made me feel hopeless for this country. This video kinda cheered me up. There are still some sane people in CA.
millionaires worrying about food prices, middle class folks buying branded goods
straight lies, they aren't worrying about generic foods vs branded foods, which is maybe a $20 difference in a grocery haul. they're most likely concerned if they run businesses with large quantities of food, but they aren't concerned about a $1 on dry pasta noodles
Millionaires spending $300/month on gym when you can get the same output for less. THAT’S STUPID! Food choices are intensely personal, what people put in their bodies is extremely important.
What about the low class now ?
They aren’t worried about food costs if they’re going to this gym🙄
Good interview, mostly because you asked good questions that weren't presumptive--well done. I noticed many of them mentioned networking and social skills; one thing that cannot be taught in a classroom.
the classroom is quite literally where most people learn to socialize
first guy totall green flaggggg, humble, grounded and so wiseee beyond his years omg
Kateri has it right! Your SELF should be the most expensive thing you own! Vitamins, exercise, grooming, dental, hygiene, you should be spending the most on your mental, physical, and spiritual health.
This was actually a really great video with a lot of practical lessons. Thank you for making this video for us!
Would love to see another one of these!
This was really refreshing to watch, I'm currently on my way to achieving financial freedom and loved how all of these people have very similar mind sets as each other and myself. So I know that I'm definitely choosing the best path by investing in myself and learning that one profitable skill so that I can market myself and do positive things for people.
the first guy seems so humble and genuine
The yoga guy with wishing he started saving earlier 🙏 so true! Saving is such a luxury sometimes when you’re focusing on survival.
First interview was excellent. Dude was very transparent and well spoken
Hi am house wives am selling Arabian perfume if interested contacted me thank you
