There are now two special counsels investigating how two presidents handled classified information.

Both times Garland used nearly the same phrasing in saying the appointments highlight a commitment to independence and accountability in sensitive investigations.

Did you know that in this book, the Bible, there are over 7,000 promises?

From God to you.

If you want to be a man of faith, if you want to be a woman of faith, you need to become a promised person.

You need to know these promises.

You need to write some of them down on cards.

You need to memorize them.

So that when you're starting to feel overwhelmed, you can remember, oh yeah, but God has promised.

zodat als je je overweldigd begint te voelen, je je kunt herinneren, oh ja, maar God heeft beloofd.

Da-da-da-da-da.

And you can say it.

And so, what he does is he said, God, I know who you are.

You're a big God.

Je bent een grote God.

And God, I know what you've done in the past.

You've helped me through all my...

And God, you've promised to take care of me in the future.

And God, you have promised to take care of me in the future.

I'm asking you to do what you say you do.

Ik vraag je om te doen wat je zegt dat je doet.

Keep your promise.

Fulfill your character.

I'm going to focus on you.

Ik ben heel benieuwd om een beetje meer over jou te leren en hoe je je uit een heel serieuze situatie uitgevoerd hebt voor de meeste mensen.

I am very curious to learn more about you and how you got out of a very serious situation for most people.

En ik denk dat veel mensen die in die situatie zijn, een heel harde tijd hebben om uit te komen van honger.

And I think that many people who are in that situation have a very hard time getting out of hunger.

Ik weet dat je een PhD-student was die op de straat van San Francisco kwam.

I know that you were a PhD student who came to the streets of San Francisco.

Kun je ons de evenementen vertellen die je tot dat punt kregen?

Can you tell us the events that led you to that point?

De nieuwe Boost Mobile Network biedt ongelimiteerd gesprek, tekst en data voor slechts 25 dollar per maand voor je leven.

The new Boost Mobile Network offers unlimited talk, text, and data for just $25 per month for your life.

Then how would we say that?

Ongelimiteerd gesprek, tekst en data voor slechts 25 dollar per maand voor de rest van je leven.

Unlimited talk, text, and data for just $25 a month for the rest of your life.

Ik weet het niet.

I don't know.

Tot je ultieme verhaal.

To your ultimate story.

What if we just say it forever?

Oké.

Okay.

Waar je ongelijk werd.

Where you were wrong.

Absoluut.

Absolutely.

Dus na mijn gradeprogramma.

So after my grading program.

Ik dacht dat, ik had de toekomst gekeken en ik dacht over wat mijn leven was gaan zien.

I thought that I had seen the future and I thought about what my life was going to look like.

En ik was een ronde professor.

And I was a round professor.

Dus ik vertel altijd deze verhaal.

So I always tell this story.

Als je Huis zag, zag je hoe Dr. Huis in de kamer zou gaan en hij zou zijn chirurgie doen.

If you saw House, you would see how Dr. House would go into the room and he would perform his surgery.

En hij zou uitgaan en zijn koffie halen en iets snarkies zeggen.

And he would go out and get his coffee and say something snarky.

En hij zei de glamour van het.

And he said the glamour of it.

Dan als je de huisschappen in het hospitaal kijkt, zie je dat ze urens patientnoten nemen.

Then when you look at the house shelves in the hospital, you see that they take hourly patient notes.

En ze zijn op de computer al zo lang.

And they have been on the computer for so long.

Dus ik voel dat als ik naar de gradeprogramma kwam, de veil een soort van ontvangt.

So I feel that when I went to the grade program, the veil receives a kind of welcome.

En ik heb het in mijn gezicht gezet van wat mijn leven in de toekomst zou zien.

And I put it in my face of what my life would look like in the future.

En ik heb besloten dat ik niet in de gradeprogramma wilde blijven.

And I have decided that I did not want to stay in the grade program.

Dus ik heb een job gekregen bij een kleine non-profit media bedrijf.

So I got a job at a small non-profit media company.

En ik heb daar twee jaar gewerkt.

And I worked there for two years.

We hadden een partnerschap met een foundation in San Francisco.

We had a partnership with a foundation in San Francisco.

En ik was de ondersteuner.

And I was the supporter.

Dus ik ben daar gaan leven.

So I moved there to live.

Maar toen de contract eindigde, heb ik ook mijn job verliezen.

But when the contract ended, I also lost my job.

En ik had deze hele moeilijke beslissing om te maken.

And I had to make this very difficult decision.

Ik heb zo veel van mijn leven gespeeld.

I have played so much of my life.

Om van thuis weg te gaan.

To leave home.

Je weet, voor de eerste 18 jaar van je leven.

You know, for the first 18 years of your life.

Het is alsof je moet naar college.

It's like you have to go to college.

En je moet zo ver weg gaan als het mogelijk is.

And you have to go as far away as possible.

En je moet onafhankelijk zijn.

And you must be independent.

En je moet een persoon worden die waarde heeft voor de samenleving.

And you need to become a person who has value for society.

Dus op dat moment was ik tegen de muur.

So at that moment I was against the wall.

En ik wilde niet naar thuis.

And I didn't want to go home.

Dus ik zeg altijd dat ik onafhankelijk was.

So I always say that I was independent.

Partiaal door keuze.

Partial by choice.

En partiaal door omstandigheden.

And partially due to circumstances.

Omdat het waar is.

Because it is true.

En ik heb gewoon besloten dat ik meer zelfontdekking had.

And I've just decided that I had more self-discovery.

En een leven om te leven.

And a life to live.

Op basis van het feit dat ik zoveel tijd in school heb gegeven.

Based on the fact that I have given so much time to school.

En ik voelde dat ik in een bubbel ben gecapteerd.

And I felt that I was captured in a bubble.

Dus ik heb drie maanden gespeeld.

So I played for three months.

Toen was ik onafhankelijk in San Francisco.

Then I was independent in San Francisco.

En het interessante over San Francisco is dat er een grote onafhankelijke bevolking is.

And the interesting thing about San Francisco is that there is a large independent population.

Dus ik had genoeg toegang tot ondernemen.

So I had enough access to entrepreneurship.

Ik kon drie maanden per dag eten.

I could eat three months' worth of food in one day.

Ik kon worden gesloten.

I could be closed.

Er waren huizen waar ik voor mocht betalen.

There were houses that I was allowed to pay for.

Eerder in de dag.

Earlier in the day.

En ik kon daar slapen als ik dat wilde.

And I could sleep there if I wanted to.

Dus ik voelde niet dat ik mijn nodigheden verkeerde.

So I didn't feel that I was wrong about my needs.

En ik denk dat dat mijn verantwoordelijkheid een beetje kluier maakte.

And I think that made my responsibility a bit cumbersome.

Omdat een deel van de vlucht-of-vlucht respons die we hebben.

Because of a part of the fight-or-flight response that we have.

Wanneer je probeert te overleven.

When you try to survive.

Dan krijg je de nodigheden.

Then you'll get the necessities.

En als je dat kan.

And if you can do that.

Dan krijg je weer dat comfort.

Then you'll get that comfort again.

Dus ik bleef daar zo lang blijven.

So I stayed there for so long.

Omdat ik niet klaar was om thuis te gaan.

Because I wasn't ready to go home.

En ik was ook niet aan het eten.

And I wasn't eating either.

Ik had een plek om te slapen.

I had a place to sleep.

En ik was ook vrij van de geld.

And I was also free from the money.

En vrij van de drukken.

And free from the pressures.

En al die identiteitsmerken die ik al zo lang had geadopteerd.

And all those identity marks that I had adopted for so long.

Van andere mensen.

From other people.

Dus je bent de goede student.

So you are the good student.

Je bent de goede werker.

You are the good worker.

Je bent deze persoon.

You are this person.

Al die labels.

All those labels.

Al die labels, precies.

All those labels, exactly.

Ja, precies.

Yes, exactly.

Dus voor mij.

So for me.

Ik voelde me vrij van die labels.

I felt free from those labels.

Maar wanneer je uitzoomt.

But when you zoom out.

Ik was in een kruis.

I was in a cross.

Ik was in een erg vervelende situatie.

I was in a very unpleasant situation.

Maar binnenin voelde ik me een beetje vrij.

But inside I felt a little free.

Tegelijkertijd.

At the same time.

Het was heel moeilijk en moeilijk voor mij.

It was very hard and difficult for me.

Om dat voor mensen te uitleggen.

To explain that to people.

In het begin.

In the beginning.

Toen ik terugkwam.

When I came back.

Omdat ze gewoon wisten dat ik thuis was.

Because they just knew that I was at home.

Voor drie maanden.

For three months.

En dat komt met zijn eigen stereotypen.

And that comes with its own stereotypes.

En een soort van visuele interpretatie al.

And a kind of visual interpretation already.

Ik begrijp dat.

I understand that.

Ik begrijp dat helemaal.

I completely understand that.

Dus ik bedoel.

So I mean.

Voor jou is de situatie een beetje unieker.

For you, the situation is a bit more unique.

Waar.

True.

Je bent.

You are.

Het was een positief voor je.

It was a positive for you.

Het was een plus.

It was a plus.

Om in die situatie te zijn.

To be in that situation.

Om echt.

To be real.

Zoals.

Such as.

Om meer in contact te hebben met jezelf.

To be more in touch with yourself.

Omdat je al die resources had.

Because you had all those resources.

Ik denk dat in andere delen van het land.

I think that in other parts of the country.

Het zou heel moeilijk zijn.

It would be very difficult.

Om dat soort leven te leven.

To live that kind of life.

Je weet.

You know.

Om thuis te zijn.

To be at home.

Nog steeds al de nodigheden te hebben.

Still to have all the necessities.

Om te leven.

To live.

En te overleven.

And to survive.

En.

And.

all day and it's similar to like having a co-worker or a peer that you do the same thing with

de hele dag en het is vergelijkbaar met het hebben van een collega of een gelijkwaardige met wie je hetzelfde doet

that experience really i could never do that good for you though i had to because i mean but you

That experience really, I could never do that. Good for you though, I had to because, I mean, but you.

you have to imagine for me the only message that we're getting were yeah fear worry come home

You have to imagine for me that the only message we're getting is yeah fear worry come home.

right so like i couldn't i couldn't process that along with what i needed to be what i was going

Right, so I couldn't process that along with what I needed to be what I was going.

um and i think that distance was very vital and it's it's very challenging to say you know

Um, and I think that distance was very vital, and it's very challenging to say, you know.

because i would never tell anyone like that's the way to do it like go be homeless is not it but i

I think that creating this space sometimes allows you to just figure yourself out and really like.

think about how you think about stuff without having to worry about how someone looks at you

Think about how you think about things without having to worry about how someone looks at you.

for a thought you have a decision you make i think put love it putting the labels on you i

For a thought you have a decision you make, I think putting love into it and putting the labels on you.

think that like that there's a freedom that comes for that from that

I think that in that way, there is a freedom that comes from that.

that they don't teach you in school you know no one tells you about what that freedom feels like

you know i think we we get programmed from this the moment we step into school you know to be a

You know, I think we get programmed from the moment we step into school, you know, to be a

certain way you need to you need to live this way get married have two enough kids have the house

Certain way you need to live this way: get married, have two kids, have the house.

the white picket fence you know and that's what made me start the label free show is because i

feel like we have labels put on us at such a young age that it really prevents people from stepping

into their true purpose or finding what they're really passionate about you had like an epiphany

so to speak where you were just like you had an epiphany so to speak where you were just like you

op deze reis om echt te vinden wie je echt bent wat je echt wilt in je leven

on this journey to truly find who you really are and what you truly want in your life

ik bedoel, ik denk niet dat veel mensen kunnen doen wat je doet, want het is

I mean, I don't think many people can do what you do, because it is

behoorlijk angstaanjagend, vooral als je op dat niveau van phd bent, zoals dat is gewoon

fairly frightening, especially when you are at that level of PhD, like that is just

veel mensen werken zo moeilijk om daar te komen en je bent daar en je bent gewoon

many people work so hard to get there and you are there and you are just

oh dit is niet voor mij, ik vind het niet leuk wat ik voor mezelf zie, je weet, ik denk dat er

oh this is not for me, I don't like what I see for myself, you know, I think there is

iets meer voor me is, ik heb een vraag wanneer je, heb je ooit

a little more for me is, I have a question when you, have you ever

iets gevaarlijks ervaren wanneer je in deze nomad staat

experiencing something dangerous when you are in this nomad state

oh ja, meerdere keren, ik bedoel, ik heb zeker nachten gehad waarop ik zei dat

oh yes, several times, I mean, I've definitely had nights where I said that

ik in San Francisco zou doodgaan, oh nee, maak er een van die met ons

I would die in San Francisco, oh no, make it one of those with us.

een van de dingen die interessant is, is dat ik daar een jaar en een half leefde

One of the things that is interesting is that I lived there for a year and a half.

voordat ik thuis was en ik wist welke straat er niet naar beneden

Before I was home and I knew which street did not go down.

weet je, ik wist welke omgeving er niet naar te gaan, maar na een tijdje

you know, I knew which environment to avoid, but after a while

word je comfortabel als je naar de straat gaat, dus nu wil je

do you feel comfortable when you go to the street, so now you want to

weten wat er buiten is en je bent niet de angst, de angstbeweging ging

know what is outside and you are not the fear, the fear movement went

weg, dus ik vond mezelf in plaatsen waar ik niet normaal

gone, so I found myself in places where I normally wouldn't

had gewoond

had lived

en er was een nacht waar ik door de bomen was en alle

and there was a night when I was among the trees and all

vrienden en het is waarschijnlijk om twee uur in de

friends and it is probably around two o'clock in the

ochtend en ik ben bij mezelf en ironisch genoeg ben ik

morning and I am with myself and ironically I am

op sigaretbussen aan het pakken omdat ze, niet voor mij,

packing cigarette boxes because they, not for me,

zoals ik, ik heb vroeger geprobeerd om ze voor dingen te traden, oh oké, dus ik

like me, I used to try to trade them for things, oh okay, so I

zou op pakken, niet de bussen, maar ze werden gehoord als shorts, dus

would pack up, not the buses, but they were heard as shorts, so

mensen hadden hun sigaret niet klaargemaakt en ik had ze op pakken en ze in een

people hadn't prepared their cigarette and I had to grab them and put them in a

bak geplaatst en dan kon je ze traden voor meer voedsel of een

placed a bin and then you could trade them for more food or a

hoedje of zoiets als je ze de volgende dag terug heeft gehaald, maar dat

hat or something like that when you have picked them up the next day, but that

bepaalde nacht

certain night

ik doe dat en ik raak rond de hoek en een man

I do that and I turn the corner and a man

krijgt je bij m'n borst gewoon uit niets, het is super

You just get something from my chest out of nowhere, it’s super.

donker, zwart, zwart, ik heb een deur gemaakt in een omgeving dat een

dark, black, black, I have made a door in an environment that a

appartementcomplex was, ik wist niet dat het een straat was, het was een

apartment complex was, I didn't know it was a street, it was a

doodbouw, dus hij krijgt me en zet me tegen de

dead construction, so he gets me and puts me against the

venster op en alles wat hij me zegt is dat ik het beter niet heb gezien mijn ziel voor

"Window on and all he tells me is that I better not have seen my soul for."

niets, ik zou het beter niet hebben gezien mijn ziel voor niets

Nothing, I would have better off not seeing it, my soul for nothing.

nee, nee, nee, dus hij heeft dat me drie keer opgeleerd en ik hoor een klink op

No, no, no, so he taught me that three times and I hear a sound on.

de grond en ik zie iets schuin en het was een soort knijp

the ground and I see something diagonal and it was a kind of pinch

oh, ja, en dus hij draait het en ik backpedal weg, dus hij draait het en hij gaat

oh, yes, and so he turns it and I backpedal away, so he turns it and he goes

hij loopt naar het, ik backpedal weg en gelukkig komt hij niet terug en

he walks towards it, I backpedal away and luckily he doesn't come back and

probeert te proberen me weer te aanvallen, maar ik heb letterlijk mijn leven geopend

tries to try to attack me again, but I have literally opened my life

vanaf mijn ogen die nacht en ik zal het nooit vergeten, ik heb

from my eyes that night and I will never forget, I have

nog steeds geheimen over het, dat is alleen één ervaring, ik bedoel, ik heb andere

still secrets about it, that's just one experience, I mean, I have others

ervaringen waar ik, je weet, ik was in tenten waar er

experiences where I, you know, I was in tents where there

allerlei soorten substancen en wapens zijn, ik kan me en die tenten zijn een beetje

various kinds of substances and weapons are, I can and those tents are a bit

gesloten deuren

closed doors

, weet je, het is net als een camping tent, er zitten vier of vijf mensen erin en het is niet

, you know, it's just like a camping tent, there are four or five people in it and it's not

net als je er gewoon in kunt gaan en niet participeert of niet, weet je, of gewoon

just like you can just go in and not participate or not, you know, or just

wegwerkt wanneer je iets ziet wat je niet leuk vindt, het is niet dat soort omgeving

removes it when you see something you don't like, it's not that kind of environment.

want nu ben je, nu ben je voorzien als een vreugde voor hen, ja, je bent voorzien

for now you are, now you are provided as a joy for them, yes, you are provided

als iemand die ze uit gaat of je niet dood bent, weet je, en dus heb ik

if someone goes out and you are not dead, you know, and so I have

meegemaakt, ik heb meegemaakt bij verschillende van die situaties waar ik

experienced, I have experienced different situations where I

was rond gevaarlijke dingen die om me heen gebeuren, ja, dus heb je

was about dangerous things happening around me, yes, so do you

ooit participeerd in, weet je, gebruiken wanneer je in die situatie bent,

ever participated in, you know, use when you're in that situation,

ja, dus ik deed het eigenlijk en ik denk dat een deel van dat

Yes, so I actually did it and I think that part of that

had te maken met het punt in mijn leven waar ik moe was

had to do with the point in my life where I was tired

zeker en ik was, ik was ongelooflijk in de zin dat ik

certainly and I was, I was incredible in the sense that I

geen meer bang was om te dood te zijn, weet je, en het is gewoon zoals er

no longer afraid to be dead, you know, and it’s just like there

was een er was een depressie, ik bedoel, mijn identiteit was echt vervormd

there was a depression, I mean, my identity was really distorted

van dat ervaring en dus denk ik dat als je

from that experience and so I think that if you

rondkomt in dat soort omgeving en je ziet mensen dingen doen die je hebt gehoord

comes around in that kind of environment and you see people doing things you have heard about.

van en niet gezien

from and not seen

in het echte leven en dat ze niet dood zijn en op de vloer vallen, ze

in real life and that they are not dead and fall on the floor, they

werken normaal, weet je, ze doen wat ze doen en

work normally, you know, they do what they do and

je ziet dat ze nog steeds gewoon zijn,

you see that they are still just like that,

ja, en dus zoals sommige vreugde die je eerder had, maar oh, ik heb altijd

Yes, and so like some joy you had earlier, but oh, I have always.

gehoord dat als je dat doet, je verloor je gedachten

Heard that if you do that, you lose your thoughts.

ik weet dat ik als ik door mijn menselijke trafiek dagen ging, ik

I know that if I went through my human traffic days, I

heb veel drugs gedaan zelf en ik ben gelukkig hier vandaag te zijn, weet je

I've done a lot of drugs myself and I'm happy to be here today, you know.

want ik heb me erg aangepakt op dat levensstijl en het was een vorm van

because I've really embraced that lifestyle and it was a form of

vervorming zoals je zei en het is um je kijkt terug en je bent

distortion as you said and it's um you look back and you are

zoals holy crap dat was behoorlijk vreemd wat ik deed

like holy crap that was pretty strange what I did

weet je en dus wanneer ik je verhaal en ik denk over mijn eigen

Do you know when I think about your story and my own?

ik denk dat je weet dat we gewoon er is een grotere plan voor ons en dat was

I think you know that we are just part of a bigger plan for us and that was.

gewoon de deel van onze reis om waar we vandaag zijn, dus

just the part of our journey to where we are today, so

je weet dat je natuurlijk een paar heel

You know that you obviously have a few very

donkere donkere momenten doorgaat en veel heel intensieve dingen ervaren

dark dark moments continue and experience many very intensive things

dat ik denk dat veel mensen je weet dat ze zich nooit in

that I think many people know that they never get into

die situatie willen plaatsen wat interessant is als je over

want to place that situation which is interesting when you think about

compassion en empathie praat, ik hoorde je in een ander episode praten, ik heb gevraagd dat er

compassion and empathy speak, I heard you talk in another episode, I asked that there

deze resource centers waren waar je kan gaan nemen

these resource centers were where you can go to take

vlees en mijn vlees allemaal dit stof voor mensen

meat and my flesh all this dust for people

zoals je het kon nemen en het was gratis en

as you could take it and it was free and

er is geen zoals je weet, je krijgt geen probleem om het te krijgen, niemand

There is no one like you know, you won't have a problem getting it, no one.

verantwoordt dat je het krijgt, het is gewoon het is gewoon de

it just means you're getting it, it’s just it’s just the

voedsel en dus heb ik eigenlijk

food and so I actually have

die voedsels voor mensen die ik wist dat ze gebruikten

the foods for people that I knew they used

oh wauw omdat ik wilde zorgen dat ze dingen moesten schoonmaken, weet je

oh wow because I wanted to make sure they had to clean things, you know

en dus voor mij voelde ik dat ik een beetje voedsel voelde in het geval dat ik

And so for me, I felt that I felt a bit of food in case I...

iemand zijn leven zou kunnen redden en ondanks dat ik dit doe en het is

someone could save a life and despite doing this and it is

vreemd omdat als je me vijf zes zeven jaar eerder had gevraagd, ik

strange because if you had asked me five six seven years ago, I

kon het niet voorzien dat ik dat zou doen, omdat ik zou hebben voelt

couldn't foresee that I would do that, because I would have felt

als een aanvuller in het moment dat ik niet voelde als een aanvuller, voelde ik

as a replenisher in the moment that I didn't feel like a replenisher, I felt

als iemand die was die beneficiaal was dat was

if someone was that was beneficial that was

het was zoals ik gezond voelde in de zin ja ja zeker

It was like I felt healthy in the sense of yes yes definitely.

dus hoe lang was je voor de twee van de twee vloeren van onafhankelijkheid hoe lang

So how long were you for the two of the two floors of independence how long?

was je onafhankelijk voor vijf maanden totaal vijf maanden totaal oké

Were you independent for a total of five months, okay?

dus wat was de moment dat je zei oké ik kan dit niet meer doen

So what was the moment when you said okay I can't do this anymore?

het was eigenlijk de nacht na de finse incident dus de nacht

It was actually the night after the Finnish incident, so the night.

de nacht daarna ging ik naar de ziekenhuis als een veiligheven dat was

The night after that, I went to the hospital as a refuge that it was.

zoals de plek waar ik zou gaan dus ik zou mezelf gaan bekeken en omdat ze hadden

like the place where I would go, so I would look at myself, and because they had

deze gezondheidsverzekeraar in californië dat ik

this health insurer in California that I

kon gaan en zoals zelfs als ik mijn id of iets niet had, kon ik nog steeds

could go and even if I didn't have my ID or something, I could still

medicare of zoiets en ik was mogelijk om behandeling te krijgen en dus zoals

Medicare or something like that and I was able to get treatment and so like

veel keer dacht ik dat ik een hartarct had natuurlijk

Many times I thought I had a heart attack, of course.

weet je maar zoals dat bepaalde nacht ging ik daar

You know, like that certain night I went there.

omdat ik wist dat ik kon gaan bekeken en ben zoals weg van de situatie

because I knew that I could go and look and be away from the situation

en het was bij de ziekenhuis ik heb gesproken met een chirurg en

and it was at the hospital where I spoke with a surgeon and

ze vertelde me over een programma dat san francisco had waar als je

She told me about a program that San Francisco had where if you

iemand hebt die je in je stad zal ontvangen in een stad zoals in je

Someone who will welcome you in a city just like yours.

huidstad en je kunt hen opnemen en ze zullen zeggen ja als je hem hier stuurt

skin city and you can take them in and they will say yes if you send him here

ik zal hem op de station kiezen dan zouden ze je een

I will pick him at the station then they would give you a

greyhound ticket kopen en dus is dat hoe ik uiteindelijk thuis kwam

buying a greyhound ticket and so that's how I eventually got home

ik kwam in dat programma waar ze me een greyhound ticket kopen gaf me 30

I ended up in that program where they bought me a greyhound ticket and gave me 30.

dollar en ze zeiden je weet zolang je moeder of wie ook

dollar and they said you know as long as your mother or whoever

de telefoon antwoordt dan zullen we je in de bus zetten en dat deden ze natuurlijk

the phone answered then we will put you on the bus and of course they did that

ik had gezegd dat ik daar zou doodgaan als ik daar stond

I had said that I would die there if I stood there.

en toen ik dat moment bepaalde en toen kwam ik eruit

and when I determined that moment, then I came out.

op een kant die ik waarschijnlijk niet verwachtte en dus denk ik dat dat hele

on a side that I probably didn't expect and so I think that whole

soort van mix van ervaringen dat ik wist dat ik meer had

a kind of mix of experiences that I knew I had more of

te doen in mijn leven ja en dus heb ik gewoon

to do in my life yes and so I just have

besloten dat ik terug naar huis moest gaan en ik moest mijn

decided that I had to go back home and I had to my

vrede afstellen en ik moest mijn ego dood laten en ik moest terug gaan

set peace and I had to let my ego die and I had to go back

en tegen die mensen die ik niet wilde tegenkomen en ik moest

and against those people I didn't want to meet and I had to

die moeilijke gesprekken hebben en mijn verhaal vertellen aan mensen die

have those difficult conversations and tell my story to people who

zorgzaam zijn en en we gaan me anders kijken en dat

being caring and we will look at it differently and that

was gewoon wat er moest gebeuren dus wat gebeurde toen je

it was just what had to happen so what happened when you

naar huis kwam ik bedoel ik ben zeker dat je moeder

I came home, I mean I'm sure your mother.

geesthetisch was om je te zien ik bedoel wat was dat zoals wat was dat

It was aesthetically pleasing to see you, I mean what was that, like what was that?

afstandsperiode zoals ik zou het meest moeten beschrijven als een

distance period as I would describe it the most as a

als een nieuw eetje je weet dat ze mijn familie me

if a new eating you know that they my family me

erg moeilijk behandelen oké en ik denk dat dat heel

very difficult to handle okay and I think that very

handig was ik ben met mijn moeder een tijdje gebleven tot ik een nieuw werk gevonden heb

I was handy; I stayed with my mother for a while until I found a new job.

en ik kon haar auto gebruiken en daar leven en ik ben

and I could use her car and live there and I am

bang voor rente en zoiets en ze moest me niet

afraid of interest and such and she shouldn't have me

drukken om me te rusten en die dingen te doen omdat

pressing to rest and do those things because

ze had ook aan de brink geweest van een afstand

She had also been at the brink from a distance.

omdat haar zoon was met geen manier om me te bereiken zonder dat ik haar op e-mail

because her son had no way to reach me without me emailing her

had ik ze op e-mail gegeven van de maal computer

I had given them via email from the meal computer.

oh wauw je weet soms soms soms als ik haar voor dit vraag of ik haar vertel dat ik

oh wow you know sometimes sometimes sometimes when I ask her about this or I tell her that I

oké ben zoals ooit in een tijdje ja maar dan weet je dat ze niet

Okay, I've been like that for a while, yes, but then you know that they don't.

kan antwoorden en als ze kan antwoorden maar ik was niet erin gaan zitten en wachten

can answer and if she can answer but I wasn't going to sit there and wait

voor het dus ze kan een antwoord krijgen in zo'n 7 dagen

so she can get an answer in about 7 days

wauw je weet dus toen ik terugkwam ben ik niet over het gesproken

Wow, so when I came back, I didn't talk about it.

al mijn vrienden had ik verloor al de al mijn alle mensen in mijn leven waren

I had lost all my friends, all the people in my life.

verleden je weet want ik had ze echter

past you know because I actually had them

weggevoerd omdat ik tijdens dat tijdje een emotionele rollercoaster was

taken away because I was on an emotional rollercoaster during that time

dus ik had mensen niet het beste behandelen altijd

So I didn't always treat people the best.

um of we gewoon verloor communicatie en natuurlijk de soort vrienden en

relatieën vervallen dus ik had niet zoveel mensen echt

Relationships fade, so I didn't really have that many people.

om terug te zien ja je weet dus dat maakte het nog meer

to see each other again yes you know so that made it even more

sterk toen ik

strong when I

begreep dat het is zoals dat de vreugde van die enorme waarde van die

I understood that it is like the joy of that enormous value of that.

vreugde van om thuis te komen was echt me gewoon tegen vier of vijf mensen

The joy of coming home was really just me against four or five people.

ja wauw um heb je een advies of iets dat je

Yes wow um do you have a piece of advice or something that you...

zou willen zeggen aan iemand die in de situatie zou kunnen zijn dat je

would like to say to someone who might be in the situation that you

thuis is of misschien aan de brink van thuis zijn dat het misschien

Home is, or perhaps at the brink of being home, that it maybe.

was dat het een beetje zou kunnen zijn dezelfde soort hoofdspazen

Could it be that it might be the same kind of headaches?

die je op dat moment had ja ik zou zeggen niet

that you had at that moment yes I would say no

je moet jezelf niet steken terwijl je beneden weet je voor voor mij is het een

You shouldn't hurt yourself while you know down there, for me it's a...

heel belangrijk om mijn mentale gezondheid te versterken tijdens dat tijd

very important to strengthen my mental health during that time

dus hoewel mijn leven in chaos was rondom me

so even though my life was in chaos around me

ik was geconcentreerd op het zorgen dat mijn mindset oké was

I was focused on making sure my mindset was okay.

ik heb nooit vergeten al de andere dingen over mezelf

I have never forgotten all the other things about myself.

dus zelfs al was ik in de straat ik had nog steeds twintig jaar leven en

so even if I was in the street I would still have twenty years of life and

ontwikkelingen en dingen om op te zetten

developments and things to set up

je weet en herinneren over mezelf dat ik natuurlijk moet uitweiden dat drie of

You know and remember about myself that I of course need to elaborate that three or

vijf maanden tijd in mijn leven weet je dus ik voel

five months in my life, you know, so I feel

dat de meeste mensen de tendentie is om die

that most people have the tendency to do that

ervaringen te nemen en ze groot te maken ja en dan is dat een

to take experiences and make them big yes and then that is a

vergeten dat je je langsdraait en je nooit meer van het heilt

forgot that you spin around and never heal from it

dus mijn advies mijn advies zou zijn om jezelf te laten heen

So my advice would be to let yourself go.

zelfs als je in de storm bent ja je weet dat dat het belangrijkste is dat

even when you are in the storm yes you know that the most important thing is that

de deel dat je kunt beheersen je mag niet kunnen beheersen of je

The part that you can control should not be something you cannot control or you.

een ander werk vandaag krijgt of dat interviewer je terugvraagt maar je kunt

another job today or that the interviewer calls you back but you can

beheersen hoe je jezelf voelt je kunt beheersen hoe je je over jezelf denkt

controlling how you feel about yourself you can control how you think about yourself

je kunt beheersen zelfs in die situatie was ik niet aan het wandelen met

you can control even in that situation I was not walking with

een chip op mijn schouder ja

a chip on my shoulder yes

ik was nog steeds ik kan dat zien dat je heel humbel is

I could still see that you are very humble.

ja ik denk dat veel van de groei gebeurt binnen wanneer we door moeilijke

Yes, I think a lot of the growth happens within when we go through difficult times.

tijden gaan ik wil

times are going I want

gaan ik wil een beetje over je boek praten voordat we het moeten beginnen

I want to talk a little about your book before we have to start.

om dingen op te vormen dus je hebt een collectie van poemen

to shape things, so you have a collection of poems

gepubliceerd wat wanneer begon je dat boek en hoe deed dat

published what when did you start that book and how did that go

hoe werd je gemotiveerd of geïnspireerd om dat te doen

How were you motivated or inspired to do that?

ja dus ik heb dat boek ongeveer een jaar na ik thuis kwam

Yes, so I got that book about a year after I got home.

en dus ik heb

and so I have

altijd gewend om een boek van te gaan schrijven ik ben al vier jaar boer spreken

Always used to writing a book, I have been a farmer for four years.

en ik denk dat dit die ervaringen gewoon laat me weten dat

and I think that these experiences simply let me know that

de boek niet uitgekomen zou gaan uit nheugier ik had gewoon te moeten

The book was not going to be published; out of curiosity, I should have just had to.

pijpen en maatje en het doen en dat dus te weten dat ik verschil heb gestaan

Pipes and buddy and doing that, so knowing that I have stood apart.

de forse keer was ik denk dat dit een constant herinnering was dat ik had

The significant turning point was, I think, a constant reminder that I had.

misschien zou moeten Jeez zetten in het werk ik had er gewoon gewoon in het schrijf

Maybe I should just put Jeez in the work, I just had to write it down.

en dus probeerde ik zo die ervaringen te halen en

and so I tried to gather those experiences and

bepaalde de elementen van mijn tijd in de in de ene rijkste geef ik een paar

certain elements of my time in the one richest I give a few

elements van my time in the in in the streets I'm all ready to keep trying to keep

elements of my time in the streets I'm all ready to keep trying to keep

my time in the in the streets and I'm al ready to keep trying to keep

My time in the streets and I'm already ready to keep trying to keep.

in the streets

in de straten

to paint a picture

of kind of the emotional turmoil I went

or kind of the emotional turmoil I went

through during that time and so

door gedurende die tijd en zo

the kind of goal of this book is

basically to provoke

curiosity and get people to ask questions of themselves

you know this book for me

was a healing tool so I always

was een helend instrument zodat ik altijd

say like I didn't write the book for other people

I didn't write the book for other people.

I wrote the book for myself and I invite everyone

I wrote the book for myself and I invite everyone.

to come share it with me

this was my cathartic moment

you know and so when I

You know, and so when I

finally got the book in my hand it felt like ET

had arrived at my doorstep you know

I took this thing that was in my brain and I

finally saw it in real life and I think that

ik het echt geweldig vind.

there is such a powerful

flow of energy that comes

from getting stuff that's inside of you

outside I would just say

Outside I would just say

that that whole process is

on you

you know and no matter what your life looks like on the outside

you know and no matter how your life looks like on the outside

all that happens internally and

I think that if you can keep that in your purview

I think that if you can keep that in your field of vision.

then you'll be okay

dan ben je oké

you'll weather the storm you'll get out of the situation

and you'll make it to the other side

and I think that if you can keep that in your purview

and you won't have to live a life of regret

what's the name of the book

I made a place for you

I made a place for you.

why did you name it that

waarom heb je het zo genoemd

yeah so

ja dus

funny enough I found it difficult

Funny enough, I found it difficult.

when I was ready to start talking about these experiences

you know like I was going to brunch

You know, like I was going to brunch.

and dinner and stuff and I'm like I don't know if I can

en het diner en zo en ik ben zoals ik weet niet of ik kan

talk to people about like purgatory

and what I thought about what happens when you die

you know over cocktails and mimosas

you know like finger foods

you know, like finger foods

and mimosas and purgatory aren't necessarily

they don't necessarily go in the same sentence

you know

or crying on your pillow

it was one of those things

where I didn't know what to do with it

I didn't know what to do with the feelings

I didn't know what to do with the feelings.

so like the fact that I was able to

dus zoals het feit dat ik in staat was om te

transport those feelings into poems

transporteer die gevoelens in gedichten

and

I have illustrations in the poetry book as well

I also have illustrations in the poetry book.

which help kind of add a visual element

to make it so that the reader can

really feel like

echt het gevoel hebben dat

my experience was colorful

the nights were colorful

the life was colorful so I wanted to add pictures

Life was colorful, so I wanted to add pictures.

so that the reader can feel that

and so

en zo

that's how we got the name

zo kregen we de naam

you know I made a place for those experiences

You know I made a place for those experiences.

and those topics and those questions

that I needed answers to

excellent

this is the part of the show where I like to ask

for last words of wisdom or advice

even though you've left a lot of advice

within your story that you shared today

what would you like to leave with the audience

What would you like to leave with the audience?

before we say goodbye

I would like to say

work as hard for yourself as you work for your job

Work as hard for yourself as you work for your job.

because I find that we'll give 40 hours

omdat ik vind dat we 40 uur zullen geven

to advancing someone else's company or goals

but we'll spend zero hours

maar we zullen nul uren doorbrengen

making sure that we're advancing our own

zorgen dat we onze eigen vooruitgang boeken

our own business

ons eigen bedrijf

our own goals

right

so I think that if people can flip that switch

to realize that the same amount of effort

that goes into making that business run

and able to pay you your paycheck

en in staat om je salaris te betalen

you have to kind of feed yourself

you have to kind of take care of yourself

that same level of effort

datzelfde niveau van inspanning

even on a part-time basis

so that you can become the success

that you expect from your work

so that would be the advice that I have

love it

Hou ervan.

Damian thank you so much for sharing your story

Damian, bedankt voor het delen van je verhaal.

thank you for being so brave

to overcome all of those things

that you went through

to be a part of your life

to go through that journey of self-discovery

I think it's a beautiful thing

I think it's a beautiful thing.

cathartic in a lot of different ways

cathartic in many different ways

the Hidden Entrepreneur Show

The Hidden Entrepreneur Show

welcome back in Hidden Nation

Welcome back to Hidden Nation.

you are in for a real treat

because what I like about this episode

is there's not only going to be the mindset shift

Is there not only going to be the mindset shift?

that we talk about week in and week out

but there's going to be actionable

maar er gaat iets gedaan worden

tangible advice

tastbaar advies

that you can put into play

on the show

on the social front

specifically

we're going to talk all about Twitter

but if you listen closely

you are going to be able to apply

all the actions we discussed today

alle acties die we vandaag hebben besproken

to really any part of your business

I'm sitting here with the founder of Tweet Hunter

I'm sitting here with the founder of Tweet Hunter.

which he has since sold

in less than a year and a half

so you're going to want to stay tuned

and listen to how this all developed

it's JK Molina

like I said the founder of Tweet Hunter

Like I said, the founder of Tweet Hunter.

I have used the program

I have used the program.

besides that

one of his taglines is

which I love

die ik liefheb

So welcome everybody.

good to see you

excellent

so I love the tagline

So I love the tagline.

likes ain't cash

Likes aren't cash.

and further more hidden nation

and furthermore hidden nation

listen to this

luister hiernaar

JK says

if you want to grow your Twitter audience

he's not your guy

but if you want to monetize your Twitter audience

welcome to the conversation

and JK what I love about that is

you're sort of flipping a thought on its head

je draait een gedachte eigenlijk helemaal om

because we all think

omdat we er allemaal over denken

that in order to make money

I need to grow my audience

I need to grow my audience.

you're saying something completely different

you're saying something completely different.

explain this to me

yeah so it's not that growing the audience won't make you money

Yeah, so it's not that growing the audience won't make you money.

it's kind of tweaking the wrong variables

It's kind of tweaking the wrong variables.

so I always explain this example with jujitsu

So I always explain this example with jujitsu.

so I'm a white belt

I'm just starting to train

Ik begin net met trainen.

but I've been going to the gym for a few years

so I went to this jujitsu gym right

So I went to this jujitsu gym, right?

and I thought that because I was strength training

I was going to be able to beat everybody right

I was going to be able to beat everybody, right?

so I went to the jujitsu gym

so I went to the jiu-jitsu gym

and at the end of the class everybody was choosing a partner

And at the end of the class, everybody was choosing a partner.

with whom to spar with

and nobody wanted to choose me as a partner

obviously I'm the white belt

except for this old lady

behalve voor deze oude dame

she was like 50 years old

she was about 50 years old

super skinny

like shoulder height

zoals schouderhoogte

super like super tiny

she's like yeah I'll spar with you

She's like, "Yeah, I'll spar with you."

and Josh we fight for five minutes

lady makes me give up seven times

in five minutes straight up

fuck me up right

and then yeah

and then she's like

en dan zegt ze iets als

well yeah you're applying too much force

like you're not doing it right

you're just a beginner

je bent gewoon een beginner

so to me building the audience

so for me building the audience

to make money

it's kind of like getting jacked

It's kind of like getting ripped.

to learn how to fight

it helps

but it's not the main thing

maar het is niet het belangrijkste

like you need to learn how to fight

you need to learn audience monetization

which is a vastly different skill

wat een totaal andere vaardigheid is

from audience building

and I learned that the hard way

en ik heb dat op de harde manier geleerd

when I got to

Toen ik aankwam bij

I got to a big account

Ik heb toegang tot een groot account.

like 70k followers

and I made somebody who had 900 followers

and I made someone who had 900 followers

and we had the same income

we made the same amount of money

and that's when I realized like yeah

en dat is toen ik me realiseerde van ja

something's wrong

ergens klopt iets niet

and it came to me like yeah

likes in cash

so now I just help people

who kind of have got to that realization

who kind of have gotten to that realization

how do you think we should say it

How do you think we should say it?

unlimited talk text and data

for just $25 a month

voor slechts $25 per maand

for the rest of your life

I don't know

Ik weet het niet.

until your ultimate demise

tot je ultieme ondergang

what if we just say forever

What if we just say forever?

okay

$25 a month forever

$25 per month forever

get unlimited talk text and data

get unlimited talk, text, and data

for just $25 a month

voor slechts $25 per maand

with boost mobile forever

with Boost Mobile forever

after 30 gigabytes

customers may experience slower speeds

customers will pay $25 a month

as long as they remain active

on the boost unlimited plan

through what methods?

door welke methoden?

mostly DM's

mostly DMs

mostly outbound

voornamelijk outbound

and the reason why I feel like

it works so well

when you have an account

already set maybe 3000 followers right

it's because you

het is omdat jij

every time you tweet

or post whenever

like I'm going to talk about

Twitter specific things

Twitter specifieke dingen

because those are the ones I know right

because those are the ones I know, right

but if you tweet

you're going to get likes

comments, retweets and followers

so right there there's four people

so right there there are four people

you can talk to

and because of that

because they follow you already

omdat ze je al volgen

they've seen your content already

there's a higher degree of trust

er is een hogere mate van vertrouwen

so I show people mostly

so I mostly show people

from all your content

if you have a viral thread

that's great

dat is geweldig

but job's not finished

you need to talk to these people

You need to talk to these people.

DM them

get them on a conversation

get them into a conversation

get them on a call

and close them

en sluit ze

because they followed you

omdat ze je volgden

they just don't follow you

because they want to follow you

omdat ze jou willen volgen

like they obviously want to learn

something from you

iets van jou

in every follow

there's a hidden request

er is een verborgen verzoek

for knowledge

voor kennis

right

so if you get them on a call

they're probably going to be

ze zullen waarschijnlijk zijn

more interested

more open

to giving you money

to give you money

than other people

which is why

waarom

when you have an audience

like just a few tweets

and it's like

boom

tree

you're at 10k a month

like boom

you're at 30k a month

just a few tweets

and you make a lot of money

what was that comment

wat was dat commentaar

you just said that

in every like

there's a desire for knowledge

what did you say

in every follow

there's a request for knowledge

because

omdat

why would you follow someone

Why would you follow someone?

you want to learn something from them

right

rechts

obviously

when

if

somebody follows

iemand volgt

say for example

many fitness coaches

that's probably because

dat is waarschijnlijk omdat

they want to get fit

but

like

they don't like

ze houden niet van

something about

iets over

certain guy's method

they don't like something

about another guy's method

over de methode van een andere jongen

so every follow

is a request for knowledge

because he believes

omdat hij gelooft

that finally

that person

is going to be the one

that gets them the six pack

that gets them the six-pack

right

because

if they

had the result

they want

zij willen

why would they follow

Waarom zouden ze volgen?

so many fitness coaches

so really

what this comes down to

first knowing

as the business person

as the entrepreneur

you must know

what problem you're solving

what the pain point is

right

recht

this is sort of inherent

in everything

you're talking about

je praat over

I'm also hearing that

Ik hoor het ook.

you need a level of

of sales skill

in order to make this work

like anything else in business

right

yeah

I mean

you got to get the goal right

you have to get the goal right

but you also got to get the path right

maar je moet ook het pad goed krijgen

so for example

let's say you wanted to hire a fitness coach

Let's say you wanted to hire a fitness coach.

I'm going to give you this example

Ik ga je dit voorbeeld geven.

and

I hired my fitness coach

I hired my fitness coach.

because he promised me a fit body

omdat hij me een fit lichaam beloofd heeft

like every other fitness coach

however

the way he did it

I liked it

I liked it.

because he did it with data

omdat hij het met gegevens deed

he said

you know JK

you're

you look the way you look

and you don't look the way you want to look

because you're not tracking your numbers

omdat je je cijfers niet bijhoudt

you don't have enough data

and you could do all these keto

and the vegan

and whatever you want

en wat je ook wilt

but the missing piece for you is numbers

right

rechts

he painted numbers

as the path to the goal

right

Right

whereas there's other coaches that say

terwijl er andere coaches zijn die zeggen

hey I'm going to get you your fit body

Hey, I'm going to get you your fit body.

your dream body

same thing my coach is offering

but I'm going to get it

maar ik ga het krijgen

through cardio

via cardio

and sprinting

en sprinten

no way in hell

I'm going to buy from that guy

I'm going to buy from that guy.

because I don't like doing cardio

omdat ik niet van cardio houd

right

so it's not only the goal you're promising

there's a path you're promising

like

you think about it

my competition

the people who offer you

bigger twitter accounts

bigger Twitter accounts

bigger reach

right

correct

we're kind of offering the same thing

we all know that

what we want is money

What we want is money.

however

we offer it a different way

we offer it in a different way

I offer it through direct cash

I offer it through direct cash.

they offer it through growing the account

they offer it by growing the account

and then monetizing

en daarna monetizing

like

the offer doesn't need to be very different

like if you're a fitness guy

or you're a product guy

and you're like

en jij bent zoals

yeah I want to offer a better tiktok service

I want to offer a better fitness service

I want to offer a better fitness service.

it's not about making it better

it's about offering a different path

It's about offering a different path.

right

Right

so

when you mentioned

what you need to do is

yeah you need to have the goal in mind

Yeah, you need to keep the goal in mind.

but you also need a different path in mind

but you also need to have a different path in mind

and some sales skills

en wat verkoopvaardigheden

you're talking to your followers

because they're willing to buy from you

omdat ze bereid zijn bij jou te kopen

you just never talk to them

so what do you do

when you first start working with somebody

when you first start working with someone

they have to have a minimum of about 3000

you said that's sort of where it makes sense

but then what are some of the first actions

that you get us doing

that you make us do

yeah

ja

so the way I look at this is

So the way I see this is

I actually learned it through Tinder

I actually learned it through Tinder.

you know Tinder

of course

yeah of course

dating app

of course

so a dude gets lonely

so he downloads Tinder

and

the other day I had

like kind of this

zoals dit soort dingen

thought

that

the only thing you needed in business

the only two things you needed in business

are

a good enough offer

and traffic

en verkeer

right

recht

and I thought offers and traffic were king

but then I realized

maar toen realiseerde ik me

what if you had the best offer

What if you had the best offer?

but you were pitching to broke people

then that tells you that the offer isn't king

then that tells you that the offer isn't great

there's gonna be something else

there's going to be something else

maybe market picking is king

so I first start always with market picking

So I always start with market picking.

so I'll give you an example with Tinder

So I'll give you an example with Tinder.

the other day I thought

yeah it's just offers and traffic

ja, het zijn gewoon aanbiedingen en verkeer

so I look Korean

So I look Korean.

because I'm half Korean

omdat ik half Koreaans ben

and I changed my location to South Korea

en ik heb mijn locatie veranderd naar Zuid-Korea.

right

good enough offer

got traffic

and nothing happened

en er gebeurde niets

because I just looked

like everybody else

I look Korean

I look Korean.

right

Right

but then I researched

but then I did some research

where are Korean looks

dudes looking popular

apparently it's like Eastern Europe

right

like Ukraine

Belarus

Estonia

Poland

so I changed my location

just like immediately

just like right away

like the legion campaign was working

like the legion campaign was successful

you know

and then

I

that's kind of the same process

dat is een soortgelijk proces

I take people through

I guide people through.

maybe you don't have an offer problem

Maybe you don't have an offer problem.

maybe you don't have a traffic problem

maybe you have a

you're pitching to broke people problem

you're pitching to broke people's problem

right

correct

or

you're in the wrong market

so I always start first with market

So I always start first with the market.

like what are your skills

like wat zijn je vaardigheden

who can pay you for those skills

after we figure that out

na dat we dat uitzoeken

we craft an offer for that market

we create an offer for that market

and only after that

do we start tweeting

and sending out content

but we don't do that

maar dat doen we niet

before we have the foundation

because if not

want als dat niet zo is

you're going to have a lot of people

who like you

who likes you

or who follow you

but they don't know what you're good at

they're unqualified

ze zijn niet gekwalificeerd

they can't pay you

they don't want to pay you

so then what's the point

so what’s the point then

right

you gotta figure the foundations out first

market, offer and then traffic

what about you JK

What about you, JK?

who in the world are you

Who in the world are you?

where did you come from

waar kom je vandaan

how did you get to selling Tweet Hunter

How did you end up selling Tweet Hunter?

building it up in just a year and a half

open and exit in a year and a half

seven figures plus

where did you come from

waar kom je vandaan

what are the skills you brought to the table

What are the skills you brought to the table?

and that you had to perfect for yourself

yeah so

ja dus

a lot of skills

that I kind of

was very lucky to come across

was zeer gelukkig om tegen te komen

you know like websites

software

and it's not that I built it

but I kind of understand it

maar ik begrijp het een beetje

right marketing

but everything really started

like I'm born and raised in Guatemala

like I was born and raised in Guatemala

so I'm Guatemalan

and was kind of here in high school

and you ever watched Breaking Bad

And have you ever watched Breaking Bad?

oh yeah

yeah Jesse and what Brian

ja Jesse en wat Brian

no Walter

so

the new Boost Mobile Network is offering unlimited talk, text and data for just $25 a month for life

The new Boost Mobile Network is offering unlimited talk, text, and data for just $25 a month for life.

dat klinkt als een bedreiging

then how do you think we should say it

unlimited talk, text and data for just $25 a month for the rest of your life

I don't know

Ik weet het niet.

until your ultimate demise

tot je ultieme ondergang

what if we just say forever

wat als we gewoon voor altijd zeggen

on the Boost unlimited plan

I had kind of that relationship

I had kind of that relationship.

except with a little bit less crystal meth

behalve met een beetje minder crystal meth

but my

maar mijn

my high school teacher did perfume

My high school teacher made perfume.

right

and he did perfume

and he sold it both like perfume

so I kind of learned a little bit from him

and I started selling perfume door to door

and then I got a little bit of money

and after I got perfume

en daarna kreeg ik parfum

I got into sewing shirts

Ik ben begonnen met het maken van shirts.

and then I sold those door to door

and then I got into night classes in college and business

and then I took night classes in college and business.

and there was this guy that had a real estate agency

and there was this guy who owned a real estate agency

and I offered to work for free

because I wanted to learn

omdat ik wilde leren

right

and in that agency I learned different skills

so I always look at kind of what I did

So I always look at kind of what I did.

kind of like a tree

you know like the roots of a tree

and there's like so many right

and there are like so many right

so when people ask me

like what was the one thing

like what was the the the mistake

like what was the mistake

what was the biggest lesson

I can't answer that

Ik kan daar geen antwoord op geven.

because I got a little bit from my Breaking Bad professor

I got a little bit from my perfume thing

I got a little bit from my perfume thing.

I got a little bit from my college thing

I got a little bit from my college thing.

a little bit from YouTube

like I don't know right

zoals ik het niet weet, toch

I did so much that I don't know where it comes from

I did so much that I don't know where it comes from.

but the biggest blessing I ever had really was

when it comes to Tweet Hunter is

Wanneer het om Tweet Hunter gaat, is het

honestly man I got lucky

Honestly man, I got lucky.

like I got lucky when I build a brand

like I got lucky when I built a brand

and then this dude called Thibaut DM me

and then this dude named Thibaut DM'd me

and he said hey man we got this product called Tweet Hunter

And he said hey man we got this product called Tweet Hunter.

do you want to try it for a month

Do you want to try it for a month?

that's what he offers

dat is wat hij biedt

try it for a month

and I liked it

and I remember a lot of people were like

a lot of people were talking about SaaS

A lot of people were talking about SaaS.

I also got lucky that way

I also got lucky that way.

because a lot of people were talking about SaaS and partnerships

like it wouldn't have occurred to me right

and I thought maybe maybe this is my shot

maybe this is my shot at partnering up with somebody

maybe this is my chance to partner up with someone

so we partner up

and I was going to be the voice

and the reach

they were going to be the product in the software right

They were going to be the product in the software, right?

and when we partner up that way

it was very cool man

It was very cool man.

because it was very cool for me actually

because it was actually very cool for me

because what they had to do

omdat wat ze moesten doen

the product

customer service

retention

servers

making sure everything was fine

listening to people

and my job was just tweeting about it

like that's all I had to do

zoals dat was alles wat ik moest doen

you know

so it was a really cool partnership in that sense

because I kind of brought the people in

omdat ik soort van de mensen binnenbracht

and they kind of took care of the rest

and I told everybody

en ik heb het aan iedereen verteld

we don't

I don't want to know

I don't want to know.

what programming language it's written in

in welke programmeertaal is het geschreven

before we sell

voordat we verkopen

and I still don't know

right

recht

and we're fortunate enough to come across the right people

and tweet hunter just sold for 1.4 million

and this year after growing it for like a year or something

en dit jaar, nadat ik het ongeveer een jaar had gekweekt of zo

not the biggest amount we wanted to get four

Not the biggest amount we wanted to get four.

but I don't think it's bad

maar ik denk niet dat het slecht is

so pretty happy with it

yeah I would agree with that

ja, dat zou ik daarmee eens zijn.

so you seem like you've got a level of confidence within

So you seem like you've got a level of confidence within.

has that always been the case

no

not really

and I kind of played a little bit

so I always tell people I was born at 19

So I always tell people I was born in '19.

because before 19 nothing ever really happened

omdat er voor 19 nooit echt iets gebeurde

I just played video games all day at my house

I just played video games all day at my house.

and I remember that was like

I'll give you a story

I'll give you a story.

so I was like 12

right and I was learning English

Correct, and I was learning English.

because English is my second language

and I was like

en ik was zo van

I really like this girl man

Ik vind dit meisje echt leuk, man.

Mariah

like if you're listening to this Mariah

I still remember

but I was thinking about this

maar ik dacht hieraan

like how to tell her

I really liked her

I really liked her.

she only spoke English

Ze sprak alleen Engels.

and what I wanted to tell her

and we only met for like three weeks dude

but you know you're a stupid kid

maar je weet dat je een domme jongen bent

and I wanted to tell her

Mariah to me you're invaluable girl

Mariah, to me you're an invaluable girl.

like you're invaluable too

zoals jij ook onmisbaar bent

right

recht

and I was like dude I got this

I went to the dictionary and I researched

I went to the dictionary and I researched.

how do you say that

it's like okay invaluable

in it's a negative invaluable

in het is een negatieve onschatbare waarde

it's a measure of worth

het is een maatstaf voor waarde

but I got nervous

maar ik werd nerveus

when I was gonna tell her that in person

wanneer ik het haar persoonlijk zou vertellen

I was like Mariah

I was like Mariah.

you know to me

you're kind of worthless

je bent een beetje waardeloos

and then she just got pissed

and then she just got angry

came out that way

kwam zo uit

yeah I got super stressed

I didn't know what to say

I didn't know what to say.

and like in my head

en zoals in mijn hoofd

I don't know English

I don't know English.

in my head I'm like

in mijn hoofd ben ik als

I fucking killed it

I fucking killed it.

I made it right

I made it right.

and then she's all pissed

and then she's all angry

right

and anyway it wasn't always like that

I don't remember

I don't remember.

I did the perfume

I made the perfume.

and like I went to the doors

and I had to lie

telling them I was fundraising

to get the perfumes

like I was so like

some people have like confidence issues

Some people have confidence issues.

at the point in which

at the point at which

it prevents them to speak

it prevents them from speaking

from speaking

that's a level

dat is een niveau

I was even below that level

I was even below that level.

I had to lie

I had to lie.

to get it out

that's even worse

dat is nog erger

right

recht

because then you get defensive

right

I was gonna

I got the sales job

I got the sales job.

of the real estate thing

of the real estate matter

and I didn't sell real estate

I sold digital marketing

I sold digital marketing.

to real estate agencies

to real estate whatever

and I remember

en ik herinner me

I was so afraid of getting

and doing cold calls

en het doen van koude acquisitie

like it was horrible

zoals het vreselijk was

and

there

my cope for it was

I just need to read a few more books

I just need to read a few more books.

because I don't have the script ready yet

you know how we procrastinate

reading books and shit

reading books and stuff

and then

my

my sales

mijn verkopen

I don't know

Ik weet het niet.

mentor

he was my boss really

he was really my boss

but because I don't mind

maar omdat het me niet uitmaakt

mentor

he was

stellar

at sales

he could go to these rooms

full of like

vol met zoals

14 people

14 mensen

who were just pissed at him

who were just angry at him

he just controlled the frame like that

he could pitch anything

and just get people to like

en gewoon mensen laten leuk vinden

buy anything

and I remember

I was like super scared

I was like super scared.

and like

en zoals

I was kind of shaking

Ik trilde een beetje.

like doing the cold call

like making the cold call

and he comes to me

and he says

you know what dude

one day

I'm gonna make you put down

Ik ga je laten neerleggen.

all those books

al die boeken

and I'm just gonna make you

en ik ga je gewoon maken

talk to people

because that's what

omdat dat is wat

you really fucking need

right

so

no

I wasn't always like that

I wasn't always like that.

look at my interviews

from 2020

like I was struggling

to get words out

to express words

and I got defensive

en ik werd defensief

and it was just bad

but

I

really

echt

kind of

sort of

had to

man up

and do it

you know

because like

what other options

did I have

and

when

in hindsight

it's easy to explain

what happened

so

he called me confident

so let's operate from there

and

you know

but going back

maar teruggaan

to the jujitsu example

I remember

I remember.

there's this trainer

regarded as

some of the

sommige van de

one of the best trainers

een van de beste trainers

in history

in geschiedenis

called John

genoemd John

John Danaher

and he has a few videos

on YouTube

and he says

how do you train your players

to be so confident

and he says

I

don't

teach them confidence

I teach them jujitsu

I teach them jujitsu.

because

omdat

the foundations

of confidence

are physical

of you

doing it

when you go to the mat

the only factor

that's going to determine

dat gaat bepalen

if you're confident

als je zelfverzekerd bent

or not

is if you feel ready

and then

the only way

you're going to feel ready

is by training

every day

and having evidence

en bewijs hebben

that you're ready

because you've been training up

omdat je aan het trainen bent geweest

because you've been training

omdat je aan het trainen bent

because you've been showing up

omdat je bent opgedaagd

right

like

you don't really

build

the confidence

you build evidence

and that evidence

en dat bewijs

that you've already done

all these things

gives you the confidence

because it's just

omdat het gewoon is

math

like

do you need confidence

to breathe

you don't

do you need confidence

to eat

you don't

because you've done it

omdat je het gedaan hebt

so often

it's already

het is al

it's evident

het is vanzelfsprekend

that you can do it

so at some point

you've done sales

so much

you've done emails

so much

you've written so much

that you're confident on it

that you're confident about it

because it's like

omdat het is als

breathing to you

it becomes second nature

so you didn't really

build confidence

you build evidence

and confidence comes

you just don't decide when

what a great quote

wat een geweldige citaat

what do you make of

it will be silly

het zal dom zijn

the questions

that little

dat kleine

business

go

what

leadership

is

not

who

is

I

good

cool

interesting

you know

Things shifted there.

It didn't change that much.

Have you ever seen that ad of somebody that says,

the internet is just going to be a fad, it's not important.

The internet is just going to be a fad, it's not important.

Have you ever seen that?

I'm probably going to be one of those guys that's like,

Ik ga waarschijnlijk een van die jongens zijn die zeggen:

it's not important.

Anyway, what really changed, in my opinion, was Twitter 20 and 2021.

Anyway, what really changed, in my opinion, was Twitter 2020 and 2021.

Because in 2020, dude, it was so easy.

You just tweeted and then you paid someone for a retweet.

Welcome to financial freedom.

Welkom bij financiële vrijheid.

You're there. Easy money.

So easy.

2021, end of 2021, it kind of shifted a little bit.

2021, the end of 2021, it kind of shifted a little bit.

It became harder to get exposure because people got used to those techniques.

It became harder to get exposure because people became accustomed to those techniques.

So then audience building meant cash.

So then audience building meant money.

Now you really got to get good at audience monetization.

Now you really have to get good at audience monetization.

Appointment setting, setters, closers,

getting good at these things.

DM's, email list management.

You had to get good at those or you were not going to make money.

Or good money, at least.

So that's how it shifted.

When it came to Elon, honestly, I don't think much is going to change.

When it comes to Elon, honestly, I don't think much is going to change.

You get the blue check and a few other changes.

But I get controversial here.

Maar ik word hier controversieel.

But I really think Elon is just like the forefront of a deeper thing.

Maar ik denk echt dat Elon gewoon de voorhoede is van een diepere zaak.

And Elon's not running the show.

And Elon isn't in charge.

Somebody else is.

Iemand anders is het.

But I'm not going to get into that.

Maar daar ga ik niet op ingaan.

And you know what this comes down to?

And do you know what this comes down to?

You're not offering this one magic bullet that you do.

Je biedt niet die ene magische oplossing die je doet.

That everybody always looks for.

That everyone is always looking for.

Like, hey, how can I get from here to there in one step?

Even something like Tweet Hunter.

Or hiring you to help and consult and work directly with somebody.

Or hiring you to help and consult and work directly with someone.

It's not one thing.

It's not just one thing.

There is a direct path, like you said.

There is a direct path, as you said.

There is some work that needs to be put in.

There is some work that needs to be done.

But it's knowing what that strategy is.

Maar het is weten wat die strategie is.

Yeah.

To me, there was one silver bullet.

And I think it still applies.

Every day, I feel.

Elke dag voel ik.

And it's kind of the opposite of a silver bullet.

It's weird.

But you ever heard a quote or a platitude?

But have you ever heard a quote or a platitude?

And it sounds so basic.

But to you, it's like, man, facts.

Maar voor jou is het van, man, feiten.

You know?

Do you know?

Like, you hear, like, the journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step.

Like, you know, the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

And it hits you right at the right time.

Like, any other day, you'd be like, yeah, whatever, dude.

Whatever, Sharon.

But today, you're like, man, that just hits.

Maar vandaag denk je gewoon: man, dat raakt me.

Right?

So I had one of those.

To me, it was, you're not in the money stacking phase.

To me, it was, you're not in the phase of stacking money.

You're in the skill stacking phase.

To me, that was the silver bullet.

Because it detached me.

Omdat het me losmaakte.

And I learned that if I lose a sale, that's fine.

Because I'm not in the money stacking phase.

Omdat ik niet in de fase ben van het stapelen van geld.

I'm in the skill stacking phase.

Ik zit in de fase van skill stacking.

If I'm in a venture, graphic design.

I used to pay for graphic design logos to get it done and sell them at, like, $7 profit on Twitter.

Ik betaalde vroeger voor grafische ontwerpen van logo's om ze te laten maken en verkocht ze met een winst van ongeveer $7 op Twitter.

Right?

And I did that.

And to me, that wasn't a failure.

You know?

Do you know?

Because I'm not in the money stacking phase.

Omdat ik niet in de fase ben van het geld stapelen.

I'm in the skill stacking phase.

So to me, that belief was the silver bullet.

So for me, that belief was the silver bullet.

That I'm in the skill stacking phase.

And I made more money believing that than not.

Leave us with something that the listener can apply.

Lisa, we are on Twitter.

Regardless of where they are.

Ongeacht waar ze zich bevinden.

What's their first step to really go forth and prosper in this world that you position.

Wat is hun eerste stap om echt vooruit te komen en te gedijen in deze wereld die jij positioneert?

Great.

Geweldig.

Let's talk about defining prosperity.

Laten we het hebben over het definiëren van welvaart.

Prosper is maybe 10 to 30 km model.

Prosper is perhaps a 10 to 30 km model.

Because those are the people I usually talk to.

Cool?

Yup.

All right.

So let's say that you want to get to 10 to 30 km model.

So let's say that you want to reach the 10 to 30 km model.

Because those are the people I coach.

So, what do you do?

You don't need complex models to get to that.

You don't need complex models to achieve that.

Je wilt het over een applicatie praten? Je hoeft geen VSL's of funnels nodig te hebben.

Do you want to talk about an application? You don't need any VSLs or funnels.

Je hoeft geen e-maillisten nodig te hebben. Je hoeft geen setters of closers nodig te hebben.

You don't need to have email lists. You don't need to have setters or closers.

Je hebt gewoon een account nodig en een linkje met een linkje met een linkje. En zo, ik denk.

You just need an account and a link with a link with a link. And like that, I think.

Dus wat doe je nu? Je gaat een volgorde bouwen, toch?

So what are you doing now? You're going to build an order, right?

Dus ik spreek met mensen met meer dan 3000 volgers.

So I speak with people with more than 3000 followers.

En wat je gaat doen, is posten elke dag, toch?

And what you're going to do is post every day, right?

En je post niet alleen dingen die je begeleidt.

And you don't only post things that you accompany.

Je post dingen die je aanbelangt, toch?

You post things that concern you, right?

Want als je de account van andere mensen ontwikkelt, dan is het echt jouw account.

Because if you develop other people's accounts, then it really becomes your account.

Niet echt, toch? Dus je moet het zelf bouwen.

Not really, right? So you have to build it yourself.

Testimonials, casestudies, je lezingen, je dingen, wat je hebt gedaan.

Testimonials, case studies, your lectures, your things, what you have done.

Zelfs al is het misschien niet indrukwekkend, spreek over dingen die je hebt geleerd.

Even if it may not be impressive, talk about things you have learned.

Dingen die je hebben gebruikt.

Things that you have used.

En je redefineert. Misschien kan je niet koning van de zee zijn.

And you redefine. Maybe you can't be king of the sea.

Je bent koning van de berg, en dan de rivier, en dan de grond, en dan de puddel.

You are king of the mountain, and then the river, and then the ground, and then the poodle.

Je vindt een puddel, toch? In die je koning kan zijn.

You find a poodle, right? In which you can be a king.

En je spreekt met vertrouwen.

And you speak with confidence.

En je doet het elke dag.

And you do it every day.

Tenminste drie, vier, vijf keer per dag, toch?

At least three, four, five times a day, right?

Stel twee tot drie opschrijvingen elke week uit.

Postpone two to three assignments every week.

Proven dat je goed bent op wat je doet.

Proven that you are good at what you do.

En dan krijg je uiteindelijk engagement.

And then you ultimately get engagement.

Omdat meer content minder mensen kan veroorzaken.

Because more content can lead to fewer people.

Je weet, het is gewoon maat.

You know, it's just size.

Dus uiteindelijk krijg je engagement.

So ultimately you get engagement.

Wat doe je dan?

What do you do then?

Je leert hoe je chat verkoopt.

You learn how to sell chat.

En je praat met hen.

And you talk to them.

Je kunt zien wat het probleem is.

You can see what the problem is.

Wat is de pijn achter het probleem?

What is the pain behind the problem?

En je geeft een afspraak samen.

And you make an appointment together.

Om dat probleem te oplossen.

To solve that problem.

En je grijpt ze een hoogticket service.

And you grab them a high-ticket service.

Dit is heel breed.

This is very wide.

Maar dit is essentieel de proces die ik gebruik.

But this is essentially the process I use.

En als ik namelijk naar één ding kan.

And if I can actually go to one thing.

Ik ben op Twitter al ongeveer drie jaar nu.

I have been on Twitter for about three years now.

En de grootste oplossing die ik heb, is DM meer mensen.

And the biggest solution I have is to DM more people.

Omdat er veel mensen zijn die je willen betalen.

Because there are many people who want to pay you.

Maar je hebt ze nooit gesproken.

But you never spoke to them.

Daarom geven ze je hun geld niet.

That is why they do not give you their money.

Dus DM de mensen die je ontmoeten.

So DM the people you meet.

En die je volgen.

And those who follow you.

Je zult veel geld in die manier maken.

You will make a lot of money that way.

Hidde Nation.

En ik hoop dat je het hebt gehoord.

And I hope you heard it.

De belofte die ik aan het begin van dit had geofferd.

The promise that I had made at the beginning of this.

Als je luistert naar waar we in deze gesprekken gaan.

If you listen to where we are going in these conversations.

Je kunt het aan zoveel gebieden van je leven.

You can apply it to so many areas of your life.

Van je bedrijf.

From your company.

J.K. Molina.

Waar kan ik heen?

Where can I go?

Om meer te vinden.

To find more.

Om meer te werken.

To work more.

Om meer van je te hebben.

To have more of you.

Vergeet het niet.

Don't forget it.

Dus je kunt mijn content vinden op 1JKMolina op Twitter.

So you can find my content on 1JKMolina on Twitter.

Dat is O-N-E J.K. Molina.

That is O-N-E J.K. Molina.

Als je je publiek wilt groeien.

If you want to grow your audience.

Ik ben niet jouw man.

I am not your man.

Maar als je de publiek wilt monetiseren.

But if you want to monetize the audience.

Welkom.

Welcome.

Dat klinkt als een vreugde.

That sounds like a joy.

How would we say it then?
