Im a 25 year old Mexican immigrant. I used to walk the hood with my mom picking up cans to be able to buy some beans for dinner. Taught me at a young age that this world didn’t owe me anything. Now I’m part of the #1 real estate team in Greenwich CT.
My dad always told me to do things with a sense of urgency. This mentality helps me light a fire under my ass to get things done and to stay disciplined
Yes!! Move with a sense of purpose and urgency. Like the clock is ticking and time is running out. P Trust me. It is better than sitting sulking and depressed
My friends in college used to make fun of me for "working all the time". But I had no family support (something they could not relate to), and didn't even have a place to go over summer break. I would get a job on campus in exchange for housing and do every job they had available, residence hall advisor, painter, tour guide, whatever, even though it was lonely and I hated it. But I graduated at the top of my class, it paid off.
Same here. My parents were dying of cancer while I was in college, and I mentioned it one time briefly during a study group when asked about what I was going to do for spring break. I never got invited back to the study group and was ostracized from my whole class by gossiping females who must have had an "ewe" reaction to reality...they couldn't handle my truth. From that I learned to never trust another peer during college, I couldn't live "authentically" by some hidden rules of "coolness". I also worked to pay my rent, car insurance, food, everything during college, just class 8am-3pm then work 2 days during week and Friday through Sunday 8 hour shifts. I didn't drink alcohol because I would not have been able to function for classes or job if I did, besides it being absolutely nasty to my senses. I had not any resentment bc I was HAPPY, so thankful to have so much opportunity to learn and grow.
I’m 23 years old, African American male, born to teen parents, loving family.. but I refuse to be average (comfortable) and strive for the “American Dream.” I will live this life on MY TERMS striving to build MY DREAMS.. This guy is the uncle I wish I had growing up.. I adopted the “Immigrant work ethic” in July 2020 and never looking back💪🏾 Thank you sir
I’m an immigrant. Im glad they had housing and papers to work (refugees do). Regardless, I didn’t have any of that. No English, no housing, no papers, etc. Took me 16 years to get a work permit. Yet, at some point I was working 3 crappy jobs from 5am to past midnight going to school and paying for my education out of pocket. Within 8 years I became an RN and kept working on my education and working wherever they’d let me work. By the time I got my papers, I was a professional with 14+ years of experience in healthcare. We all have a journey. But I agree, most immigrants have a crazy work ethic. Most of the time because we don’t have a choice. Then, when opportunities come across, we jump right on it and make the best out of them. I still work on roofing, carpentry, and other endeavors. That’s just part of who i am. Blessings!!!
Great man. I am also immigrant with similar journey. Started my career as a paper boy to selling door to door to teaching by going home to home, to MacDonald, Pizza Hut, house keeping before finally getting a call centre job. And 7 years of call centre job, I am a floor manager.
The world is a better place because you exist. I am a 30 year old female immigrant from honduras. Meeting you has made more impact on my life than you can imagine. Wishing you so much love and abundance and success. -Julia Handal
I’m 50 years mexican immigrant never turned a load down in 24 years.Washed dishes clean kitchens etc day and night.Never complained nor bad attitude.Walk in listen and get it done no questions.Now into fitness as of 2022.Will own a gym one.
Amen Bedros. I’ve built 3 training gyms, Body Vandal LLC the last 4 yrears while being a union Ironworker 50-84 hours a week, become a CADC, and run a recovery podcast. From ages 42~46 because I operate like my back is against the wall every day. Respect for you and your family and gratitude for your podcast and sharing this great information.
i’m 22 years old and my main job is framing houses. im working towards owning my own business and running my own crew one day. my schedule is 7:30 to 4. i also work at dominoes delivering pizzas, from 6-10. i workout between my shifts and get up at 4:30 to read. i love the idea of working like an immigrant
Learn the ins and outs the quoting. My cousin and her husband started a oil field service company. And they make BANK. But they started with a few knowledgeable people and worked their way up.
My dad worked 6 days a week.. one day off for family.. I never knew a man that worked so hard. His work ethic has rubbed off on me. I listen to you everyday for motivation. Thank you sir
As a Haitian American born in the states by Haitian immigrants I can attest to this very fact. At 14, Picking blueberries for consecutive summers taught me how to withstand the adversity in life.I started buying my own clothes and shoes by freshman year of high school. My work ethic easily surpasses others. I hated those blueberry fields but I understand what my immigrant father was teaching me so young. Every job I’ve worked I’ve risen to a leadership role.Haitians are extremely resilient but get negative light in the media. Long story short , Never give up , no matter what. 👍🏿
I so admire your rawness. I’m also an immigrant. My father worked like an animal building his body shop in Florida. The work ethic my dad has is beyond. Now at he’s 60 and he still works all day, naps during the day and is always ON. I’m grateful to now be an immigrant in a new continent, Europe. This was a great refresher and reminder of who I am to the core. Thank you for being a solid model for men, children and women. God bless you
100% Agreed. I moved from India 5 Years ago, Came here with $0. I was working at a grocery store my second day in the country working 80 hours a week. Been doing that for 5 years and God has been good, I paid taxes last year among the top 1% of earners in USA. Work ethic is everything, This country is a gold mine to those that are ready to work for it! American Dream is true and alive!
Appreciate these podcast so much! They light the fire in me! I am not an immigrant, but I left home as a teen due to abuse and I have my own type of similar story. From sleeping on the street, fake social security card to get a job, stealing cans of veggies at 99cent store. Point being it was very temporary bc I was passionate about getting out of that situation. I had a choice but operated as though I didn’t.
Years ago when I was in my 20s I was training with a competitive bodybuilder who was in his 40s and I v much looked up to. He told me that when he was performing rows he imagined he was pulling his son out of a well and that was how he engaged every fibre of his muscles into the movement
I lived all my life as an immigrant but God gave me and ny family the chance to move to Canada. So I'm working hard to get to a good place for the next two years so when we get there we get to live. Thank you for this video.
My Grandparents were from Ukraine and also escaped extreme poverty. Their work ethic was basically if they were awake they were working. When they became really old they still worked, did chores and gardening but they would enjoy listening to us practice musical instruments or play with us more. They were never they types to watch TV, in fact I don't think they ever watched a TV show in their entire lives.
😂 I absolutely love your mindset! I’ve put myself in this mindset so many times but this is exactly how I needed to hear it to know I’m not the only one!
I am a big believer in everything you just said here. I am living in a developing country but earning in USD now. Although it is only barely 50 grand a year, I aspire to hit over 100k eventually with my work etiquette. I will never give up!
Motivational and timely talk, thank you Bedros! 🌲 I'm a therapist who released a video yesterday about the intersection between trauma and overachievement, and how we can simulatenously heal from the damage of the past without missing out on the pursuit of excellence and productivity. This point is often missed by overly-compassionate therapists. Sometimes people use trauma and hardship to fuel them, and this is often subjectively the case until mental health collapses... I'm often exploring this theme of trauma x productivity with clients who want to keep pushing, but in more of a loving and well-rounded way - hugely important and nuanced conversation. Forefront example with the message you're sharing on the otherside of your personal healing journey. Cheers brother.
Currently listening to this at 4am at the gym, before pulling a 10-hour shift, to be back home in time for dinner with my kids. Great motivation for a morning I’m literally sitting at a weight rack wondering wtf I’m doing here this early 😂
Thought at first that working an extra 4-6 hours a day is just going to be exhausting. I figured it's better to be tired and earning money than to be tired and not doing anything at all to generate another source of income. Much love, brother!
The point you made about running from California resonated with me because I literally have had that argument with people over the years that if you leave Cali because of the cost you aren’t working hard enough. Just say you don’t want to compete! This advice is amazing keep it up sir
This podcast is a gift for humanity Bedros. It will compound a lot over the years , because every person that flip the switch will help a lot of people to liberate themselves from being average and their comfort zone. You are changing millions of lives for the better !
13:00 I also had that mentality...In 3 months I was sleeping 4-6 hours a night, eating snickers for lunch, no workouts, just grind... Man...I burned myself out. I couldn't work for an entire month after that from how burn I was. When people hear this kind of words they'll stay all pumped up, but after a period they're dead. Be careful
I started become immigrant when I was 23 in the middle east and now I'm 39 and still working as an immigrant. Listening to you bro started working to be my 2.0 version. Keep doing it bro and inspired more people like me.
I remember my parents came to the USA for a better future for me and my brother. We are Mexican, i remember one Christmas we had candles lit up because we had no electricity, we had dollar stores cookies for dinner because we had no food. I was 6-8 years old. And i still remember. Everything is different now thanks to that moment.
I needed this! Just two days ago someone told me “slow down, why are you putting so much pressure on yourself”. Before I could explain they said you know what pressure does? I said “make diamonds”. Their answer was “bust pipes”… 😒 After that answer and now seeing this video my thoughts at the time were right. Which were “F*** what they’re talkin’ about i can do it and I will”.. 😂 pressure. It’s worse being broke. I’m good on it lol
Being homeless as a kid put a work ethic in me that im known for. Because I always knew I never wanted to be back there again and being involved in gangs in crime is a very unhappy place to be but as a kid with nothing you are easily pulled towards it. Now after spend most my life working myself to death i see my work ethic can be applied towards my future not just the rent i still work 80 hours a week im a professional options trader and i study relentlessly 18 hours a day last couple years towards my growth and believe i can be great
I use to package paper at 15 years old to buy my own clothes for high school and help my mom and dad out with like 100 bucks for rent I love where I came from that's makes me who I am as a hard worker now in the proccess of opening my own business as we speak.god is good I been clean of alcohole for two weeks I was using everyday Monday I hit the gym.and to be honest this channel here talks great stuff not like other channels that try and sell you knowledge
Can't believe that life (or TH-cam algorithms, who knows) granted me this great man's content. This episode is life changing. I know you will get back here in some years and... you will be unrecognizable. Keep hustling, keep working hard. 😡
Although there're thousands of similar videos and podcasts on the subject, this is one of the most powerful and motivating that I've heard. Thanks man! You have one new follower!
Because I spent 7 years homeless and drug addicted making bad decisions being locked up when I got out I hit the ground running with the same desperation I used to pursue the substances of my addiction. I just didn't set the bar high enough. Time to earn results
I’ve started adopting the mentality you talked about someone trying to put you out of business. Makes me want to destroy the competition. And Bedros you gotta get ahold of one of those guys and go hunting. Rifle or bow. You will fuckin love it. Hunting is a way of life and it’s a beautiful life
I used to be a manager for 4 companies I work for. But I know a fact you should always put 100% in your work and Out perform, learn new skills on that job. So people can see you're not lazy. But I also believe once your boss bad mouth you. You shouldn't work hard for them and start looking for something better or somewhere where your boss Appreciate you. There'd a lot of places they don't have great boss or people who shouldn't be in charge. But it is what it is.
I’m a little bit late to the BK show, so I’ve been going through and listening to all of the videos. I have to say, I believe that this is one of the most inspirational and motivating episodes that I have listened to so far! Thank you for this! Be blessed.
Incredible storytelling. Incredible comparison. Incredible speech. Incredible video. Met you two days ago. This is the 3rd video I watch. You definitely have a new follower. Love your mentality.
20:10 min mark!!! haha hurt a lot of peoples feelings. Heck yea!! People want to live in an ugly places because it "saves" them "20" percent lol LOVE that BEDRO!
And there’s me, my grandparents went from former Yugoslavia to Germany in the late 60s to work hard (grandfather: construction worker, grandmother: cleaning at hospitals). They left their kids (my mother and uncle) in Yugoslavia with their grandmother for 9 years until they brought them to Germany too. My father went in 1988 to Germany to marry my mother and came from a poor but rich in love farm next to a clean drinking water river and made me and my brother. They worked hard af for my brother and me, after they divorced even more. My younger brother got the money making mentality of a true hustler. Applying university while working 40hrs a week for a high effort IT job and additional to it he’s a reseller of hard-to-get hardware. And me, being a horrible student, never dumb but didn’t put any effort into studying even though I was blessed with a need for knowledge. I needed my first 26 years of life to get to know I have to rip my ass up to get the life why my grandparents came to Germany in the first place! They all wanted me to have a better life and helped me financially as much as they could, but they couldn’t imagine how that is influencing me. It made me lazy because I thought „even if I mess up anything, my family will have my back“ but I didn’t even try to do anything and messed up everything with that. Now I’m back on my immigrant mentality, because I want my kids to have a life my grandparents wished for themselves: to work and enjoy the money
I've been watching every episode and they can't come fast enough! I'm looking every day for that notification of the next episode. I really appreciate what your doing and I'm sure I speak for a lot of people when I say thank you you have been truly life changing!
It spoke to my soul about the motivation you tell yourself before squats. I do the same thing, I tell myself I won’t be able to keep my kids safe from a kidnapper if I don’t kill the sprint or destroy the set or reps.
Things ppl told me: I work to eat. Work pay bills work pay bills. So when do you rest or take time off? When I sleep. Bulletproof mind...thanks I needed this today. Respect 👍
Nice video the immigrant mentality is different as for me 7 years ago I moved to Australia from South Sudan and I found myself doing 2 full time jobs almost 16 hours for the last 6 years because I want to create a solid ground for my kids I just realised that when you’re the first generation of your family to immigrate the responsibilities are way too much but now with the technology that we have it’s gonna be helpful to create something.
I love this!! Man I really wish I had more friends like you I just wanna hustle and get it!! California is my dream place to live!!! I literally could relate so much to this
People don’t understand this! I’m Cuban and Colombian but born in America. The way my immigrant counterparts hustle puts EVERYONE TO SHAME. He’s 100% right about this and I want to be like this too.
Having to catch you're self when you're doubting yourself, is very crucial to your development as a stronger version of your self. While working with passion because you know your life is about to change for the better.
Big, I'm looking forward to listening to this one when I wake up tomorrow. Happy New Year Bedros and same to everyone consuming this life changing content! Let's get it!!
It is scary how many of your stories are still valid and similar situations have happened to me personally, despite the fact that I grew up in a country that was already free of the Soviets.
I would caution people to find a balance if they have a family. Many immigrant families prosper financially but the children suffer emotionally. As the parents age, they become distant from their children. The relationship becomes strained and the parents feel a sense of abandonment and empty-nested-ness.
Bedros, thank you for all your content! You have changed me into a beast period! MAD gratitude for you my friend.. keep it up brother, %gym life = success ( savage 💪 🙏 🙌
Mate you've earned yourself a subscriber - from the kids metaphor - which I have personally done mine's that 'someone's going to take everything my parents have' to the no other option mentality. In that journey you end up losing so many people close to you but it doesn't matter.
Hey Bedros, I love your channel and the wisdom you share. I constantly seem to see a narrative online about who bad capitalism is, money isn't the be all and end all, etc. I wouldn't say viewing money as top priority over everything is that healthy, but to act as if its not important is naive - it opens a lot of doors for you and like you said, gives you the ability to give back to the people and community around you. As a side story, I used to be friends with a guy when I lived in London who lived in an incredibly affluent area (his flat was bought and paid for by his very hard working, wealthy parents) and would constantly harp on about how terrible capitalism is the fact that everyone is so focused on making money, we should have socialism, etc. the hypocrisy always made me laugh. I remember thinking - ok, well take away your nice flat and be in a situation where you're forced to work some crappy job just to be able to make rent every month, then lets see how your attitude towards money making changes! My dad was very similar to you (although he is Iranian.) Came to this country not speaking the language, had to bust his ass to get into education, learn the language, put a business together, start a family with 4 children, buy a house, etc. the list goes on. I can't imagine the level of stress riding on you with that much pressure. I would definitely agree with your sentiment about how comfortable things have got now, also I really believe its been a catalyst for all the political division in the west - things are so comfortable it seems like people have to find things to be divided over/argue about - with the advent of social media it gets exacerbated. There also seems to be a power in victimhood these days. Anyway thank you for your content, I will be sure to watch/listen regularly.
Hey Bedros love your videos I listen while I drive and definitely inspire me and more importantly keep my ass on check to take action Could you consider a video on communication and speaking ability’s I feel like that’s a big key to success as well and would love to hear your thoughts as you are very articulate when you speak God bless
Yeah we used to live like immigrants. Going to school you would have no food but bread so what we would usually do is get a packet of cheap chips( chips like lays not fries) and we would have that and put it on bread and it's your school lunch for the day until 5pm when you arrive at home then you start cooking dinner for the family
Good morning, and thank you again for these videos 🙌🏽 You always have something to say that I need to hear. Still got a lot of work to do to reach my 2.0 ⚙️
I’ve live in LA for 5 years. I’d rather work to stay here because of all the different nature and first to get new stuff. Life is interesting when you’re outside

That's inspiring brother, keep crushing life💪
Salute my brother
You should just stay in Mexico and pick up fucking cans.
Damn fr. 25 and in the most high-end town in CT. Congrats. I wish that my success would even be half of that.
My dad always told me to do things with a sense of urgency. This mentality helps me light a fire under my ass to get things done and to stay disciplined
I was not taught about that, quite the opposite but now at 29 years old, im learning to act that way, thank you for the reminder brother
🙏👏💪
Absolutely!
Yes!! Move with a sense of purpose and urgency. Like the clock is ticking and time is running out. P
Trust me. It is better than sitting sulking and depressed

I couldn't work for an entire month after that from how burn I was. When people hear this kind of words they'll stay all pumped up, but after a period they're dead. Be careful
I started become immigrant when I was 23 in the middle east and now I'm 39 and still working as an immigrant. Listening to you bro started working to be my 2.0 version. Keep doing it bro and inspired more people like me.
I remember my parents came to the USA for a better future for me and my brother. We are Mexican, i remember one Christmas we had candles lit up because we had no electricity, we had dollar stores cookies for dinner because we had no food.
I was 6-8 years old. And i still remember.
Everything is different now thanks to that moment.
I needed this! Just two days ago someone told me “slow down, why are you putting so much pressure on yourself”. Before I could explain they said you know what pressure does?
I said “make diamonds”.
Their answer was “bust pipes”… 😒
After that answer and now seeing this video my thoughts at the time were right. Which were “F*** what they’re talkin’ about i can do it and I will”.. 😂 pressure. It’s worse being broke. I’m good on it lol
Being homeless as a kid put a work ethic in me that im known for. Because I always knew I never wanted to be back there again and being involved in gangs in crime is a very unhappy place to be but as a kid with nothing you are easily pulled towards it. Now after spend most my life working myself to death i see my work ethic can be applied towards my future not just the rent i still work 80 hours a week im a professional options trader and i study relentlessly 18 hours a day last couple years towards my growth and believe i can be great
Every night I come home from the Gym after my 9 to 5 and work on my Business while listening to Bedros And Andy Frisella!
Bedros. You're helping me get through the hardest time of my life and helping me turn my pain into progress. I just want to say thank you.
I use to package paper at 15 years old to buy my own clothes for high school and help my mom and dad out with like 100 bucks for rent I love where I came from that's makes me who I am as a hard worker now in the proccess of opening my own business as we speak.god is good I been clean of alcohole for two weeks I was using everyday Monday I hit the gym.and to be honest this channel here talks great stuff not like other channels that try and sell you knowledge
Best video ever bro, I'm an immigrant and I can relate to all of this anyone seeing this video, this is all you need to succeed trust me.
Can't believe that life (or TH-cam algorithms, who knows) granted me this great man's content.
This episode is life changing. I know you will get back here in some years and... you will be unrecognizable.
Keep hustling, keep working hard. 😡
Although there're thousands of similar videos and podcasts on the subject, this is one of the most powerful and motivating that I've heard. Thanks man! You have one new follower!
Wow this is gold! Sometimes we need that kick in the ass to remember to hustle and keep that hungry mentality going.
Your podcasts are like kick in the stomach! No BS aproach - brilliant. Needed it - well done, keep going.
This guy is spot on!!!! Listen to his words if you want to be successful
Because I spent 7 years homeless and drug addicted making bad decisions being locked up when I got out I hit the ground running with the same desperation I used to pursue the substances of my addiction. I just didn't set the bar high enough. Time to earn results
I’ve started adopting the mentality you talked about someone trying to put you out of business. Makes me want to destroy the competition. And Bedros you gotta get ahold of one of those guys and go hunting. Rifle or bow. You will fuckin love it. Hunting is a way of life and it’s a beautiful life
Yeah man, definitely one of my goals to hunt
@@BedrosKeuilian fuck yeah man! Mule deer and elk. Best hunting. Good luck!
Got chills listening to the donations portion. Loving these messages!
Mexicoano work ethic. Your word is all you have. Respect Downey California ❤❤❤
I used to be a manager for 4 companies I work for. But I know a fact you should always put 100% in your work and Out perform, learn new skills on that job. So people can see you're not lazy. But I also believe once your boss bad mouth you. You shouldn't work hard for them and start looking for something better or somewhere where your boss Appreciate you.
There'd a lot of places they don't have great boss or people who shouldn't be in charge. But it is what it is.
Just saved this video to watch/listen to it every morning
I’m a little bit late to the BK show, so I’ve been going through and listening to all of the videos. I have to say, I believe that this is one of the most inspirational and motivating episodes that I have listened to so far! Thank you for this! Be blessed.
Incredible storytelling. Incredible comparison. Incredible speech. Incredible video. Met you two days ago. This is the 3rd video I watch. You definitely have a new follower. Love your mentality.
I love the immigrant mindset! I’m an immigrant and it’s true you really have no choice.
20:10 min mark!!! haha hurt a lot of peoples feelings. Heck yea!! People want to live in an ugly places because it "saves" them "20" percent lol LOVE that BEDRO!
And there’s me, my grandparents went from former Yugoslavia to Germany in the late 60s to work hard (grandfather: construction worker, grandmother: cleaning at hospitals).
They left their kids (my mother and uncle) in Yugoslavia with their grandmother for 9 years until they brought them to Germany too.
My father went in 1988 to Germany to marry my mother and came from a poor but rich in love farm next to a clean drinking water river and made me and my brother.
They worked hard af for my brother and me, after they divorced even more.
My younger brother got the money making mentality of a true hustler. Applying university while working 40hrs a week for a high effort IT job and additional to it he’s a reseller of hard-to-get hardware.
And me, being a horrible student, never dumb but didn’t put any effort into studying even though I was blessed with a need for knowledge. I needed my first 26 years of life to get to know I have to rip my ass up to get the life why my grandparents came to Germany in the first place! They all wanted me to have a better life and helped me financially as much as they could, but they couldn’t imagine how that is influencing me. It made me lazy because I thought „even if I mess up anything, my family will have my back“ but I didn’t even try to do anything and messed up everything with that. Now I’m back on my immigrant mentality, because I want my kids to have a life my grandparents wished for themselves: to work and enjoy the money
I've been watching every episode and they can't come fast enough! I'm looking every day for that notification of the next episode. I really appreciate what your doing and I'm sure I speak for a lot of people when I say thank you you have been truly life changing!
Respect Bedros! Keep up the great content. you keep it real, young men like myself need that.
It spoke to my soul about the motivation you tell yourself before squats. I do the same thing, I tell myself I won’t be able to keep my kids safe from a kidnapper if I don’t kill the sprint or destroy the set or reps.
Going to listen to 10 times this is a jewel!
Again I love this channel working on my business and my mindset is the only limitation. Thanks!
Things ppl told me: I work to eat. Work pay bills work pay bills. So when do you rest or take time off? When I sleep. Bulletproof mind...thanks I needed this today. Respect 👍
My parents fled Southeast Asia in 1979. I grew up dirt poor. I remember how hard life was as a kid. I never want to go back there.
Nice video the immigrant mentality is different as for me 7 years ago I moved to Australia from South Sudan and I found myself doing 2 full time jobs almost 16 hours for the last 6 years because I want to create a solid ground for my kids I just realised that when you’re the first generation of your family to immigrate the responsibilities are way too much but now with the technology that we have it’s gonna be helpful to create something.
I love this!! Man I really wish I had more friends like you I just wanna hustle and get it!! California is my dream place to live!!! I literally could relate so much to this
People don’t understand this! I’m Cuban and Colombian but born in America. The way my immigrant counterparts hustle puts EVERYONE TO SHAME. He’s 100% right about this and I want to be like this too.
Listened to this twice! I’m an aspiring leader keep it coming brother!
First view!? Nice 😎 Appreciate your content and insights immensely sir. Looking forward to a great year!
To the top!!
@@BedrosKeuilian let's goooo! I need this content. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your story. This is really inspiring and I commend you for your work ethic👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you so much!
Having to catch you're self when you're doubting yourself, is very crucial to your development as a stronger version of your self. While working with passion because you know your life is about to change for the better.
Big, I'm looking forward to listening to this one when I wake up tomorrow. Happy New Year Bedros and same to everyone consuming this life changing content! Let's get it!!
Killed it on this one!!!
It is scary how many of your stories are still valid and similar situations have happened to me personally, despite the fact that I grew up in a country that was already free of the Soviets.
This hits home no rest for the wicked
Great episode. Never realized how much we leave on the table 🔥
Thank you!
I would caution people to find a balance if they have a family.
Many immigrant families prosper financially but the children suffer emotionally. As the parents age, they become distant from their children. The relationship becomes strained and the parents feel a sense of abandonment and empty-nested-ness.
I needed this, this morning brotha
This video has me so hyped up. Ready!
My dad Mexican immigrant I have the upmost respect for that man hardest worker I know

Dude. I needed to hear that. Thank you. First video, instant sub.
Bedros, thank you for all your content! You have changed me into a beast period! MAD gratitude for you my friend.. keep it up brother, %gym life = success ( savage 💪 🙏 🙌
Mate you've earned yourself a subscriber - from the kids metaphor - which I have personally done mine's that 'someone's going to take everything my parents have' to the no other option mentality. In that journey you end up losing so many people close to you but it doesn't matter.
Man I tell ya B-Money is on fire!! Love you dude you and Ed Mylett are my favorites!! Keep bringing this content
Absolutely spot on! Love it
Hey Bedros, I love your channel and the wisdom you share. I constantly seem to see a narrative online about who bad capitalism is, money isn't the be all and end all, etc. I wouldn't say viewing money as top priority over everything is that healthy, but to act as if its not important is naive - it opens a lot of doors for you and like you said, gives you the ability to give back to the people and community around you.
As a side story, I used to be friends with a guy when I lived in London who lived in an incredibly affluent area (his flat was bought and paid for by his very hard working, wealthy parents) and would constantly harp on about how terrible capitalism is the fact that everyone is so focused on making money, we should have socialism, etc. the hypocrisy always made me laugh. I remember thinking - ok, well take away your nice flat and be in a situation where you're forced to work some crappy job just to be able to make rent every month, then lets see how your attitude towards money making changes!
My dad was very similar to you (although he is Iranian.) Came to this country not speaking the language, had to bust his ass to get into education, learn the language, put a business together, start a family with 4 children, buy a house, etc. the list goes on. I can't imagine the level of stress riding on you with that much pressure. I would definitely agree with your sentiment about how comfortable things have got now, also I really believe its been a catalyst for all the political division in the west - things are so comfortable it seems like people have to find things to be divided over/argue about - with the advent of social media it gets exacerbated. There also seems to be a power in victimhood these days. Anyway thank you for your content, I will be sure to watch/listen regularly.
"Winter is coming right after the fall sure enough!!" - Jim Rohn 💯💯
Hey Bedros love your videos I listen while I drive and definitely inspire me and more importantly keep my ass on check to take action
Could you consider a video on communication and speaking ability’s I feel like that’s a big key to success as well and would love to hear your thoughts as you are very articulate when you speak
God bless
Yeah we used to live like immigrants. Going to school you would have no food but bread so what we would usually do is get a packet of cheap chips( chips like lays not fries) and we would have that and put it on bread and it's your school lunch for the day until 5pm when you arrive at home then you start cooking dinner for the family
Thank you for giving structure to my thoughts, I subscribe to everything you said.
You brought Heat today! Gotta listen to this again!
I live in a small town in UK few years back some kurdish immigrants moved in now they own the whole town through sheer hard work...
Good morning, and thank you again for these videos 🙌🏽 You always have something to say that I need to hear. Still got a lot of work to do to reach my 2.0 ⚙️
I’ve live in LA for 5 years. I’d rather work to stay here because of all the different nature and first to get new stuff. Life is interesting when you’re outside
You are truly an inspiration god bless you
