Let me bring Kelly on to the show. Kelly, welcome
13
00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:21.159
to the show.
14
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:24.840
Thank you so much, Ken for having me on. It's
15
00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:25.400
a delight.
16
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:30.079
I am grateful to have you here. I know absolutely
17
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:33.560
nothing about you except for your New York Times best
18
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:37.719
selling author, which I'm a publisher, so for those of
19
00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:40.159
you that don't know, that means she sold at least
20
00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:46.159
twenty five thousand books in one week. That's incredible and
21
00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:48.200
I'm happy to.
22
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:50.959
Have you here. So let me start with this.
23
00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:55.200
So I started this to help people have a breakthrough
24
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:58.400
in life, and I did it selfishly. I was stuck
25
00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:00.599
at the time in my own life, and I'm like,
26
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:03.400
you know, I think if I listen to enough other
27
00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:06.760
people talk about how they got unstuck, it'll help me.
28
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:10.319
And it did so, and I'm excited for you to
29
00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:13.319
be able to help other people today. So tell everybody
30
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:15.719
where it all began for you. Where were you born
31
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:18.240
and raised if they can't tell already?
32
00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:21.680
Right exactly? And thank you, by the way for correcting
33
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:25.599
the accent. It's not British. It is English. Yes, I
34
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:29.960
was born and raised in England, and I have spent
35
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:33.039
most of my life actually in the States, believe it
36
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:37.520
or not. I've been here probably about twenty five twenty
37
00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:39.800
seven years now. But I don't think I'll ever lose
38
00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:42.400
the accent. And I've been told never to lose the accent.
39
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:45.479
You not lose that accent, that's right, don't.
40
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:47.120
Do you got it? You got it?
41
00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:48.560
I love that accent.
42
00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:54.680
And it's English. Why is it not British?
43
00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:59.120
What's the difference that there isn't a country that is
44
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:05.159
called Britain, right, Britain itself is made up of the
45
00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:09.319
other countries. We've got Scotland, we've got Wales, and then
46
00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:13.719
when you bring in the UK United Kingdom, that brings
47
00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:17.159
in all of the other countries, including Ireland, and so
48
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:21.360
England is a separate country by itself all the time, Ken,
49
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:25.599
and people have been just mingling everything together and they
50
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:28.520
just call it British.
51
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:29.080
Wow.
52
00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:34.240
I did not know that. Wow, some educational value already
53
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:38.840
for me. So well, welcome to you and your beautiful
54
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:44.680
English accent. So Kelly, so you were born and raised
55
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:50.800
though in England. Correct, when did you move to the US?
56
00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:54.759
So I've had an interesting journey, Ken, born and raised
57
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:58.560
in England. Right after high school we start h well,
58
00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:02.240
we start the nursery which you called kindergarten here at
59
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:04.879
the age of three, so we are two years ahead
60
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:09.560
of the American educational system. So when I came when
61
00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:12.120
I finished my high school in England, i came out
62
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:14.080
to the Bay Area. That's where my sister and brother
63
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:15.879
were living at the time. I thought, oh, I'm on,
64
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:18.720
I'm on my summer holidays. Let me go out and
65
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:20.959
say hello to him. I've never been out here before.
66
00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:25.160
I absolutely loved the place, and after further discussions, decided
67
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:28.079
to apply for student visas and what have you. And
68
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:33.959
I completed my schooling both in England and also here
69
00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:37.879
in the US. I've got a master's degree in law
70
00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:41.600
which allowed me to sit for the bar. And it's
71
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:44.839
been interesting, to say the least. I was what sixteen
72
00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:48.439
fifteen sixteen when I first arrived here. I'm the baby
73
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:52.920
of seven, ken, so I've obviously enjoyed each other.
74
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:57.759
No television in the house, right.
75
00:04:58.360 --> 00:04:58.439
And.
76
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:03.759
So I'm the only one that has gone into law.
77
00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:06.399
All of my other siblings they are all in the
78
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:11.560
medical profession in some form and respect. My dad he's
79
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:15.199
an entrepreneur, and I followed in my dad's footsteps. But
80
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:19.279
I am the only attorney. And again being the baby
81
00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:21.600
of seven, mom wanted me home for a while because
82
00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:23.920
I was out in the States. So I took advantage
83
00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:25.800
of that time and I went to law school in England.
84
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:28.639
So my schooling is both from the UK and the
85
00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:29.439
US as well.
86
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:32.319
So you you did not go to law school here
87
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:32.680
at all.
88
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:38.199
I did a master's here, Okay, yes, yes, So.
89
00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:42.279
You bounced around a little bit. So when you and
90
00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:44.839
I know a lot of attorneys. I don't know if
91
00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:50.399
you saw the intro video, but prior to his passing away.
92
00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:54.720
I was friends with Judge ken Starr, who is famous
93
00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:59.920
for impeaching Bill Clinton. He was, he was, He was
94
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:03.040
such an incredible guy. I actually did a private book
95
00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:06.920
signing for him in Columbus, Ohio when I lived in
96
00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:10.800
Ohio and met him and his wife and they were wonderful,
97
00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:13.639
wonderful people. But I so I know a lot of attorneys, right,
98
00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:19.600
so talk a little bit about why you decided to
99
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:24.279
pursue If everybody else in your family is doing medical
100
00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:26.879
stuff and you're like, nope, I'm going to be an attorney,
101
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:29.079
why what was the push?
102
00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:32.680
I must have been about five years old and I
103
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:35.759
was watching a show on TV on the Telly, Ken
104
00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:42.759
on the Telly on the Telly, and I know it
105
00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:45.600
might seem like England's the third World country now, but
106
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:48.399
it wasn't at the time. Back then.
107
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:51.800
I'm talking about your parents having seven children.
108
00:06:52.279 --> 00:06:55.639
Like they stopped at me and they said, listen, it's
109
00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:59.319
time to get a Telly now. So yes, I grew
110
00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:00.079
up watching.
111
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:02.560
I love that. That's awesome.
112
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:06.279
There was a particular show on that used to play
113
00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:09.040
every week and it was called The Queen the King's Counsel.
114
00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:11.759
I'm sorry, the Queen's counsel at the time. Now we
115
00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:14.040
have the King, but it was called the Queen's Counsel,
116
00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:18.360
and every single time the barrister would go in and
117
00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:20.680
win the case and win the day. And I always
118
00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:24.680
found that so fascinating, and so I absolutely truly stuck
119
00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:26.519
to my guns, and I said to my dad, Dad,
120
00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:28.160
I want to be look, I want to be that.
121
00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:30.879
I had no idea what that was, and so over
122
00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:34.600
time came my conviction in what I wanted to be
123
00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:38.879
has never ever changed. It's always been a lawyer, a lawyer,
124
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:42.199
a lawyer. And here I am several years later.
125
00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:46.040
You know, Kelly, I so one of my friends is
126
00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:48.720
an attorney. She's a client of mine, lives here in Dallas,
127
00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:52.680
and we took our daughter over to their house for
128
00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:56.800
this Christmas dinner thing a couple of years ago. And
129
00:07:56.879 --> 00:08:02.519
their house is humor I mean huge, huge, huge elevator
130
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:07.800
inside it's really beautiful. And so we left and she goes.
131
00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:11.360
She's sitting in the back seat, she was twelve, and
132
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:14.279
she goes, Dad, I know what I want to do
133
00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:16.319
with my life. And I said what She goes, I
134
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:22.079
want to be a rich Attorney's very specific.
135
00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:23.160
I love it not just.
136
00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:28.480
Attorney, not just an attorney, because there's plenty of poor attorneys.
137
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:30.839
Oh, there's plenty rich attorneys.
138
00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:34.799
So I love that. So it was it started, and
139
00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:37.080
my daughter has not let go. She's fourteen and a
140
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:39.799
half now and she's not let go. She still wants
141
00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:41.320
to go to law school and be a lawyer.
142
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:46.200
Beautiful. She'll stick to her convictions, Kenn, and she's going
143
00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:47.679
to become that rich lawyer.
144
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:49.120
I know. Right.
145
00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:55.960
So when you so you you were in England when
146
00:08:55.960 --> 00:09:01.000
you graduated from law school? Where did things go for
147
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:02.080
you from there?
148
00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:02.720
Did you?
149
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:04.720
Is there a bar exam there too?
150
00:09:04.879 --> 00:09:06.639
I guess I would imagine.
151
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:09.559
So you can take there's there's two routes that you
152
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:13.000
can take in England. You can either become a barrister,
153
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:16.480
which is a trial lawyer here in the US, or
154
00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:19.639
you can become a solicitor, which is a transactional lawyer
155
00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:24.279
here in the US. I chose to go transactional corporate law.
156
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:26.840
And again, why because that's where the money is. Ken,
157
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:28.399
your daughter's super smart.
158
00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:31.879
Yeah, that's where the money is, right.
159
00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:36.480
So so you did that? Did you practice law?
160
00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:38.279
Then? In in England?
161
00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:45.799
I sat for my solicitor's course, and because before one
162
00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:48.960
can practice there, you have to do a call it
163
00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:52.639
a pupilage, call it a internship with a law firm
164
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:56.399
over there in the UK. But for three years, Ken,
165
00:09:56.519 --> 00:10:00.080
three years, so and doing that those three years, I
166
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:03.799
can move you around to any department. So I want
167
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:04.759
to be a corporate lawyer.
168
00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:05.360
Guess what.
169
00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:07.840
Guess who's getting that phone call two am in the
170
00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:10.039
morning that you have to go bail someone out. It's
171
00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:15.120
going to be the me. So and three years, I
172
00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:18.240
chose not to stay there. I chose to come back
173
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:21.679
to the US, and I chose to pursue my masters here,
174
00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:24.360
which allowed me to sit for the bar and here
175
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:28.320
in California, of all places. And I've been practicing Ken,
176
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:36.080
it's my twentieth year. Twenty twenty years I've been practicing law.
177
00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:39.519
I've been providing excellent service to my clients, and I
178
00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:40.879
love each and every one of them.
179
00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:47.480
Ken, that is so amazing. Twenty years in California.
180
00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:48.759
California, Ball States.
181
00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:51.679
Yes, h What in the world I mean?
182
00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:55.120
Okay, I think you're in the San Diego area, right,
183
00:10:55.320 --> 00:11:02.000
So I understand that it's beautiful there. It's beautiful, yes, yes, so,
184
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:07.440
But what made you go I'm gonna move to California
185
00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:11.480
from England and practice law right right.
186
00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:14.960
And my sister and brother were here in California. If
187
00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:16.960
they were in New York, I'd probably go to New York.
188
00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:20.639
They were in California, and this is where we've sort
189
00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:21.679
of settled as well.
190
00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:25.120
Yeah, I've been to I've been to Stegg I've been
191
00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:28.200
to Carl's Bad, which is, oh my gosh.
192
00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:31.039
That's exactly where my office is. Ken so yes, in
193
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:34.240
Carl's Bad.
194
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:36.000
I was invited to be a speaker doctor Fad me
195
00:11:36.120 --> 00:11:38.120
and sen. He invited me to come to his event
196
00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:41.159
and at the Avira Resort. Are you familiar with?
197
00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:42.320
Absolutely?
198
00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:45.519
That is the most gorgeous place I was. I came home,
199
00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:47.559
I told my wife, I'm like number one. I had
200
00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:50.159
the very best steak I've ever had in my life
201
00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:51.399
at that resort.
202
00:11:51.759 --> 00:11:52.279
Number two.
203
00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:54.519
You've got to see it. So we're coming back there
204
00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:56.279
someday to visit.
205
00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:57.440
So it's beautiful.
206
00:11:57.480 --> 00:11:59.600
I would love to host you. You make sure you
207
00:11:59.639 --> 00:12:00.440
connect with me.
208
00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:04.480
That's so nice, thank you? So so okay, So you
209
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:09.159
started did you? Did you in California? Did you put
210
00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:13.440
out your own shingle? Did you start your own practice
211
00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:15.399
or did you work for somebody for a while.
212
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:20.840
So when I first started applying, I passed the bar,
213
00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:24.519
I started applying for my very first attorney position, and
214
00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:29.360
it was with Baker McKenzie in San Diego. It was
215
00:12:29.399 --> 00:12:32.720
the largest international law firm in the world Ken, in
216
00:12:32.759 --> 00:12:33.960
the world, not just the US.
217
00:12:34.279 --> 00:12:34.720
Wow.
218
00:12:34.759 --> 00:12:37.799
Currently right now it's probably about three or fourth in
219
00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:40.120
the world, but at the time when I started, it
220
00:12:40.279 --> 00:12:44.799
was the number one international law firm. I learned from
221
00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:49.039
some brilliant minds, not just domestically here Ken, but internationally
222
00:12:49.080 --> 00:12:53.519
from across the globe, because we were based in sixty
223
00:12:53.639 --> 00:12:57.360
nine countries. Sixty nine countries, and so right out of
224
00:12:57.399 --> 00:13:01.000
the gate, I must have blown the socks of the partners.
225
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:04.320
They loved me instantly. They offered me the job right there,
226
00:13:04.360 --> 00:13:07.360
and then there was no well, let you know, miss Bagler, No, no,
227
00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:10.639
they offered me the job, and so that really opened
228
00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:16.240
up massive doors for me. Everybody knows who Baker McKenzie
229
00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:19.679
is and what they do, and the reputation is pretty impeccable.
230
00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:23.159
And I did start off with the largest firm. I
231
00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:26.960
learned very quickly the politics of large firms as well,
232
00:13:27.759 --> 00:13:31.360
and you learn a lot I mean I was a
233
00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:34.519
young lawyer, bright eyed and bushy tailed.
234
00:13:34.600 --> 00:13:34.840
Ken.
235
00:13:34.919 --> 00:13:36.919
I was out there. I was going to crush it,
236
00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:38.879
you know, I was going to make a name for myself.
237
00:13:38.919 --> 00:13:41.320
And here I am. And as soon as I start working,
238
00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:44.039
they give me a laptop and a BlackBerry. Do you
239
00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:45.399
remember there was blackberries?
240
00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:49.639
Yes, we have one around here somewhere. I just saw
241
00:13:49.679 --> 00:13:51.679
it recently.
242
00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:55.159
Well, you can see it in the museum, right, what
243
00:13:55.240 --> 00:13:56.519
happened to BlackBerry? But I.
244
00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:00.320
Muddy said that the other day to me, They're like,
245
00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:03.240
I missed my BlackBerry keyboard. I think it was an
246
00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:05.600
attorney actually client of mine that said that.
247
00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:11.159
Right, So they give you an electronic leash, right, so literally,
248
00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:13.200
wherever you are they can get a hold of you.
249
00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:16.559
I was working sixteen seventeen, eighteen hours a day. Ken.
250
00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:18.600
I loved it. I loved it because I was young.
251
00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:21.799
I wanted to absorb everything that I could, and I
252
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:24.879
worked in their corporate and Securities department. That was my
253
00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:29.519
official title, Corporate and Securities attorney. From there, after learning
254
00:14:29.960 --> 00:14:33.399
that or behind the scenes, the politics and what have you,
255
00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:37.559
at one point we actually got a partner from Hell
256
00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:43.240
Ken from Hell and when she joined within the first month,
257
00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:47.879
there were ten of us that left, ten attorneys that left.
258
00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:51.000
So during that time I was one of them because
259
00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:54.919
they brought her into the corporate department. And from there
260
00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:57.240
I went to a smaller firm. It was an IP firm.
261
00:14:57.320 --> 00:15:00.240
They needed to build out their corporate department. I in
262
00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:02.360
and did that. Within six months, I was promoted to
263
00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:05.919
senior corporate attorney. And then probably another year or two,
264
00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:10.399
I said, listen, I started going out and doing business
265
00:15:10.440 --> 00:15:14.080
development and bringing business back. And I said, at some
266
00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:17.519
point I would like to talk about a partner route
267
00:15:17.600 --> 00:15:20.000
at the firm. And the partner said, oh, yeah, that
268
00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:21.759
would be great, but however, we have to pay the
269
00:15:21.799 --> 00:15:26.840
debt off first before you can gain profits. And I said,
270
00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:29.480
that's not a relationship. But when I enter into starting
271
00:15:29.519 --> 00:15:32.919
off with debt and that's your debt. So at the time,
272
00:15:32.960 --> 00:15:36.080
it was two thousand and nine. Ken two thousand and
273
00:15:36.200 --> 00:15:40.039
nine was when I decided, if I can make money
274
00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:43.519
for someone else, why can't I make money for myself?
275
00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:48.399
Right with all the tools that I learned, I went
276
00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:53.720
out and I started Bagler Law Firm APC. It was
277
00:15:53.759 --> 00:15:58.240
the most brilliant day of my life. This journey has
278
00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:01.480
been absolutely incredible. Ken, If I had to do it
279
00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:04.440
all over again, I'll do it exactly the same way,
280
00:16:04.600 --> 00:16:07.759
exactly because my experience at the big firm and then
281
00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:10.320
the medium firm, and then me actually opening my firm,
282
00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:13.480
it taught me and led me to where I am today.
283
00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:19.559
I zealously represent my clients. I take a personal interest
284
00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:24.279
in my clients and Ken, I am also known as
285
00:16:24.399 --> 00:16:26.720
the Queen of Business Law.
286
00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:30.399
I've heard that.
287
00:16:29.480 --> 00:16:33.279
That title was given to me by my clients. Why
288
00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:37.279
you would ask, right, Well, the Queen is the most
289
00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:41.279
powerful piece on the chessboard, however, because she can move
290
00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:45.000
in any direction, her only job is to protect the king,
291
00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:48.279
and for us, our client is the king. If I'm
292
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:55.440
the most if I'm the most important, the client obviously
293
00:16:55.480 --> 00:16:57.919
needs to be protected. So I was given that name.
294
00:16:58.039 --> 00:17:02.000
Plus I'm English. We had the Queen at the time ruling.
295
00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:07.279
There you go, right, So, so talk a little bit
296
00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:13.359
about I'm just curious. I always wonder, like you know,
297
00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:20.079
obviously you've reached incredible levels of success with your firm
298
00:17:20.279 --> 00:17:24.359
and your book and everything that you've done, But did
299
00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:28.839
you ever I have another client that's an attorney, and
300
00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:34.599
she's really, really successful. She's retired kind of, and you know,
301
00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:38.559
she talks about a day when her and her partner
302
00:17:39.599 --> 00:17:44.279
couldn't make payroll and they were like she she literally
303
00:17:44.319 --> 00:17:48.279
gets emotional talking about this one particular moment because of
304
00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:51.119
a client not paying and all kinds of stuff. But
305
00:17:51.400 --> 00:17:54.440
she gets very emotional, and it causes me to be
306
00:17:54.519 --> 00:17:58.240
emotional listening to it, right, And I'm like, but because
307
00:17:58.279 --> 00:18:01.000
I've been there, like can't make hey roll and it's like,
308
00:18:01.079 --> 00:18:04.920
oh my god, I'm a loser. But like, you know,
309
00:18:05.440 --> 00:18:08.200
but she's she talks about and then there was this
310
00:18:08.359 --> 00:18:11.559
magical thing that happened. The money came in and you know,
311
00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:15.799
but have you had and buildings go back to the beginning,
312
00:18:16.079 --> 00:18:19.799
the first day you open, and the first year, two years,
313
00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:23.359
five years, whatever. Did you have any of those moments
314
00:18:23.359 --> 00:18:26.599
where you're like, we're done, We're not gonna make it.
315
00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:34.039
Yes, and yes, Ken, nobody likes.
316
00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:36.440
To talk about those, but I think that it's important.
317
00:18:36.920 --> 00:18:39.519
You have to talk about it. You have to the
318
00:18:39.599 --> 00:18:42.880
people that don't want to talk about the heartaches and
319
00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:47.440
the success, the failures and what it really takes to
320
00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:50.160
get through these hard times. You have to be out
321
00:18:50.160 --> 00:18:52.319
there to talk to people. You have to so other
322
00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:56.519
people can get through their it's much easier. I'm a
323
00:18:56.599 --> 00:18:59.880
huge believer ken in we are all here put on
324
00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:04.319
earth to serve each other. And if you have gone
325
00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:07.079
through and experienced yourself where you feel that this could
326
00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:11.519
help someone, please don't be quiet, actually speak out. These
327
00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:14.400
were some of the hardest times of my life, and
328
00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:18.440
they usually are for entrepreneurs. Is one is, well, where
329
00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:20.640
do you get how do you get business?
330
00:19:20.839 --> 00:19:21.000
Right?
331
00:19:21.079 --> 00:19:23.960
How do you get business? If I didn't join the
332
00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:28.960
mid firm after the big firm, if I hadn't joined
333
00:19:28.960 --> 00:19:32.400
the middle sized firm, I would never have known how
334
00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:35.799
to sell. What am I supposed to say? Go out
335
00:19:35.839 --> 00:19:39.359
to someone? Because we're attorneys, we're not allowed to solicit, right,
336
00:19:39.680 --> 00:19:41.599
So I can't just walk up to someone and say, hey,
337
00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:44.039
do you need an attorney? You're starting a business? Here's
338
00:19:44.079 --> 00:19:46.559
my god, you can't do that. So how is it
339
00:19:46.559 --> 00:19:49.000
that you get business? The very first thing I did,
340
00:19:49.039 --> 00:19:52.160
Cane was I joined the Chamber of Commerce, Carl's Bad
341
00:19:52.279 --> 00:19:57.160
Chamber of Commerce, and I got very involved because being
342
00:19:57.200 --> 00:19:59.519
a member just showing up to events and not really
343
00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:01.759
participate and you're not going to get anything out of it,
344
00:20:02.119 --> 00:20:04.480
So you really have to get your your feet wet,
345
00:20:04.559 --> 00:20:08.599
you jump in, you volunteer. You actually have people meet
346
00:20:08.599 --> 00:20:12.279
with people and they get to they they they start
347
00:20:12.319 --> 00:20:15.119
getting to know who you are, and you're there every month.
348
00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:20.359
So the chamber, that would be one big, massive advantage
349
00:20:20.359 --> 00:20:23.559
that I would say is for any new business that
350
00:20:23.799 --> 00:20:27.960
wants to start join your local chamber, get known first
351
00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:31.000
and get involved with the community. So that was the
352
00:20:31.039 --> 00:20:34.200
first thing I did. The second thing I did was
353
00:20:34.359 --> 00:20:36.680
as an attorney, I'm allowed to tell my clients where
354
00:20:36.720 --> 00:20:39.079
I'm going. And there was a handful of clients that
355
00:20:39.119 --> 00:20:42.880
actually walked with me and ken to this day, those
356
00:20:43.000 --> 00:20:44.200
clients are still with me.
357
00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:45.799
That's so awesome.
358
00:20:46.039 --> 00:20:49.160
With me still with me, that's awesome. And so for
359
00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:52.960
the first first year, it was basically one how do
360
00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:56.519
you know to set your pricing? So you're always going
361
00:20:56.599 --> 00:20:58.640
to undercut yourself because you don't know you have no
362
00:20:58.720 --> 00:21:02.480
idea what charge for something because we never build anyone
363
00:21:02.519 --> 00:21:05.960
at the big firms. That was a billing department, So
364
00:21:05.960 --> 00:21:08.559
you've got to figure out how much to charge. Then
365
00:21:08.559 --> 00:21:11.799
you've got to obviously find someone. Then you have to
366
00:21:12.079 --> 00:21:13.960
come back and do the work. So you're the one
367
00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:17.680
that's doing everything right. You're wearing every each and every hat.
368
00:21:17.960 --> 00:21:20.720
You have to be the collection agency as well. And
369
00:21:20.920 --> 00:21:24.640
very quickly early on. And one beautiful thing that attorneys
370
00:21:24.640 --> 00:21:28.720
are actually allowed to do legally is to be retained first,
371
00:21:28.759 --> 00:21:30.880
so we don't have to lift a finger without being
372
00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:34.759
paid first. So very quickly learned put people on a retainer.
373
00:21:34.839 --> 00:21:39.839
The money's there, Okay, now I can provide services. But Ken,
374
00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:46.720
I had bills to pay. When I joined the big firm,
375
00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:50.720
I bought a house in San Diego. You know, they're
376
00:21:50.799 --> 00:21:54.079
very expensive. I bought a house thinking I'm going to
377
00:21:54.119 --> 00:21:56.480
stay with the firm. I'm going to be a rich lawyer.
378
00:21:56.559 --> 00:21:59.640
I'm going to be a partner at this largest firm.
379
00:21:59.839 --> 00:22:02.960
It didn't happen. So now I'm thinking, how am I
380
00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:06.119
going to make my payments, my bills? How am I
381
00:22:06.119 --> 00:22:09.720
going to keep a roof over my head? One of
382
00:22:09.720 --> 00:22:13.680
the biggest securities for any woman to ever have in
383
00:22:13.720 --> 00:22:17.240
her life is security is a roof over her head.
384
00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:21.720
That's the biggest security any woman needs. And that security
385
00:22:21.839 --> 00:22:24.680
was being shaken Ken, It was being shaken for me.
386
00:22:25.240 --> 00:22:33.559
I'm a huge believer in in yourself. Right, you have
387
00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:37.319
to believe in yourself. You cannot rely on other people
388
00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:40.880
believing in you. You have to believe in yourself. I
389
00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:44.359
fell back on that. I fell back on the principles
390
00:22:44.359 --> 00:22:49.240
that my dad taught me. Every month, somehow, can somehow,
391
00:22:49.319 --> 00:22:52.240
I swear to God. Every month I would find a
392
00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:56.440
client that would give me five thousand dollars now I
393
00:22:56.440 --> 00:22:59.240
could pay my mortgage and my bills. And I did
394
00:22:59.319 --> 00:23:04.920
this every time I would get a client that passed
395
00:23:05.000 --> 00:23:07.680
or it was too expensive, or sorry, we're not going
396
00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:11.160
to do this right now. It hurt. It hurts so
397
00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:14.240
bad because I was relying on that client. How am
398
00:23:14.279 --> 00:23:18.440
I going to pay my bills? I even went as
399
00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:22.119
far as maybe I could be a contracted attorney for
400
00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:25.359
other law firms. Right, So, just trying to find my bed,
401
00:23:25.400 --> 00:23:29.359
it's super difficult, extremely difficult if you don't have any guidance,
402
00:23:29.400 --> 00:23:33.160
and ken you're looking at a self made woman. I've
403
00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:37.079
never had any guidance, say father, right, and whatever I
404
00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:40.680
have achieved, however far upcoming life, I'm the type of
405
00:23:40.720 --> 00:23:42.880
person that loves to pay it back. I did it
406
00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:44.759
the hard way. Let me show you how not to
407
00:23:44.799 --> 00:23:47.720
do it the hard way. That's my philosophy in life,
408
00:23:47.720 --> 00:23:49.680
and that's what I do for my clients as well.
409
00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:53.440
But I remember those days, Ken, of course I remember
410
00:23:53.480 --> 00:23:56.839
those days. At one point there were two mortgages on
411
00:23:56.920 --> 00:23:59.680
my home, two of them, and one of them was
412
00:23:59.720 --> 00:24:02.720
going to call, and I was just what do I do?
413
00:24:02.759 --> 00:24:04.599
Who do I borrow money from? What can I do?
414
00:24:04.640 --> 00:24:07.839
Can I go to the bank, Can I get a loan? Somehow?
415
00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:12.119
Every month I would end up finding a client that
416
00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:16.279
would give me five thousand dollars. And I say, somehow, Ken,
417
00:24:16.839 --> 00:24:26.400
I believe in the Almighty, Yes, Almighty, And people can
418
00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:28.759
have their own beliefs, and they can call it the universe,
419
00:24:28.799 --> 00:24:31.839
and they can call it whatever they want. This is
420
00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:35.119
how I was raised. I believe in the Almighty. In fact, Ken,
421
00:24:35.160 --> 00:24:39.160
you're gonna love this. I call God my bestie.
422
00:24:39.359 --> 00:24:40.799
Yeah no, I love that.
423
00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:45.279
So I was very very in touch with my bestie
424
00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:49.160
through this whole time. It got me through. And when
425
00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:52.079
I say somehow, it wasn't somehow, it was Bestie helping
426
00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:55.039
me through. Ken, That's how I got through. I'll never
427
00:24:55.079 --> 00:24:57.960
forget those days because this is where we come from
428
00:24:57.960 --> 00:25:01.119
as entrepreneurs. This is where Jeff Bess came from. He
429
00:25:01.279 --> 00:25:04.640
started in his garage for God's sake. You know, entrepreneurs
430
00:25:04.640 --> 00:25:08.640
the ones that are very committed and that those are
431
00:25:08.680 --> 00:25:10.079
the ones that become successful.
432
00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:14.480
It's in Elon musk got you know, look at his story.
433
00:25:14.559 --> 00:25:18.160
My god, he he took every last like. There's so
434
00:25:18.279 --> 00:25:21.880
many examples. And you know, I was telling somebody recently
435
00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:26.480
that you know, we've all heard the story about Colonel Sanders,
436
00:25:27.559 --> 00:25:30.599
how he was sixty five years old, got his first
437
00:25:32.039 --> 00:25:35.640
whatever it was pension check or whatever the and he
438
00:25:35.759 --> 00:25:37.160
was like, how am I going to live on this?
439
00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:40.319
And and that's when he went out and started his
440
00:25:40.440 --> 00:25:44.680
thing at sixty five years old. And I just think about, like,
441
00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:47.519
because I've been there, I've been in business for a
442
00:25:47.559 --> 00:25:51.039
long time. I've been an entrepreneur my entire life. I'm
443
00:25:51.039 --> 00:25:54.319
a horrible employee for another company. I mean I am,
444
00:25:54.440 --> 00:25:58.400
I'm just I always say I'm not employable. So but
445
00:25:59.680 --> 00:26:03.799
you know, so what are some of the big what
446
00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:05.359
are some of the big mistakes?
447
00:26:05.400 --> 00:26:05.640
You see?
448
00:26:05.640 --> 00:26:08.599
Because I started my company on a twenty dollars loan
449
00:26:08.759 --> 00:26:11.839
and went out and knocked on doors doing website development
450
00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:16.359
and helping people, and it was horrible. I had twenty
451
00:26:16.480 --> 00:26:21.039
dollars to my name, and what are some of the
452
00:26:21.079 --> 00:26:25.759
things that you see entrepreneurs and business owners, what are
453
00:26:25.799 --> 00:26:29.559
the mistakes that they're making that's holding them back from
454
00:26:31.079 --> 00:26:34.400
huge expanse because I think we all want that bigger
455
00:26:35.519 --> 00:26:37.119
expansive growth.
456
00:26:36.839 --> 00:26:41.920
Right absolutely, as an entrepreneur, just like yourself, Ken, I'm
457
00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:44.680
an entrepreneur three times now, I'm a CEO of three
458
00:26:44.720 --> 00:26:47.960
companies that i've started, right, But my law firm, Bagla
459
00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:51.119
Law Firm is my baby, It's my passion and it
460
00:26:51.160 --> 00:26:54.240
will always be my first love always. So I have
461
00:26:54.440 --> 00:26:59.000
seen mistake after mistake that entrepreneurs make. The biggest, biggest
462
00:26:59.000 --> 00:27:01.759
mistake is when they get money, they just spend it
463
00:27:01.799 --> 00:27:04.400
as if there's no tomorrow. They spend it on silly
464
00:27:04.440 --> 00:27:07.640
stuff like, oh, let's spend you know, fifteen thousand dollars
465
00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:10.799
on a website. It's not needed. Let's spend five thousand
466
00:27:10.920 --> 00:27:14.559
on marketing material, it's not needed. Let's spend you know,
467
00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:18.480
five hundred dollars on business cards, it's not needed. So
468
00:27:19.279 --> 00:27:24.319
that's that's the number one issue or problem or mistake,
469
00:27:24.519 --> 00:27:28.480
actually mistake that I see entrepreneurs make. The second problem
470
00:27:28.559 --> 00:27:32.599
is their mindset they are usually that's a big, big problem.
471
00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:35.920
Usually they're they're very set in their ways and they
472
00:27:36.079 --> 00:27:38.240
very well. I know this and I know that, and
473
00:27:39.759 --> 00:27:43.640
nobody knows everything right, that's why you come to the professional.
474
00:27:43.720 --> 00:27:46.640
So I'm the professional and I'll tell you how it is.
475
00:27:47.240 --> 00:27:50.599
The especially when when when they want to grow, there's
476
00:27:50.680 --> 00:27:52.640
a lot of fear there web BEFA, can't make it,
477
00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:55.839
We'll be for Can well you start again? You start again?
478
00:27:56.200 --> 00:27:56.640
Right?
479
00:27:56.720 --> 00:28:01.680
These are these are failures that you learn from every
480
00:28:01.720 --> 00:28:05.039
single time. Failures can be a beautiful thing, and more
481
00:28:05.119 --> 00:28:09.039
failures at the beginning is perfect because could you imagine
482
00:28:09.279 --> 00:28:13.119
a big, massive financial failure while you're in business for
483
00:28:13.200 --> 00:28:15.279
five six years and all of a sudden that could
484
00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:19.240
potentially bankrupt the company. So all of these mistakes that
485
00:28:19.400 --> 00:28:22.759
entrepreneurs make, I highly encourage them to make them earlier on.
486
00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:28.119
But they absolutely shouldn't move forward without getting consultation. And
487
00:28:28.200 --> 00:28:32.240
any business needs two partners on their side always. One
488
00:28:32.319 --> 00:28:35.839
is a fantastic CPA knows exactly what they're doing, and
489
00:28:35.920 --> 00:28:40.160
also a brilliant attorney, a corporate attorney, because it's a corporation,
490
00:28:40.240 --> 00:28:45.519
it's a business, and it's mismanaging of money, it's not
491
00:28:45.640 --> 00:28:51.400
having the right mindset, and then it's bringing in fifty
492
00:28:51.519 --> 00:28:54.720
sixty people where they're saying, I've given stock out to
493
00:28:54.880 --> 00:28:57.960
my uncle Joe and my aunt Betty and you know,
494
00:28:58.039 --> 00:29:00.960
my friends from high school, and and then they want
495
00:29:01.000 --> 00:29:06.559
to actually go into funding from a outsource VC. It
496
00:29:06.599 --> 00:29:10.440
doesn't happen like that. So stop thinking that you know everything,
497
00:29:11.319 --> 00:29:15.359
slow down, get proper guidance, because nobody wants to build
498
00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:18.720
a solid business on shaky ground. You wouldn't build a
499
00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:22.359
house on a foundation that's not solid. Same thing applies
500
00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:23.599
with business as well.
501
00:29:24.680 --> 00:29:26.319
Amen, that's amazing.
502
00:29:26.759 --> 00:29:31.400
What is your like like when you wake up in
503
00:29:31.440 --> 00:29:34.599
the morning? What is your And I love that coffee cup,
504
00:29:34.640 --> 00:29:36.880
by the way, that is beautiful.
505
00:29:37.240 --> 00:29:41.480
I am I am married to a marine. Oh I
506
00:29:41.559 --> 00:29:46.559
had I had. I love my marine. So I'm very biased.
507
00:29:47.240 --> 00:29:48.160
I love that.
508
00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:51.039
I love that And of course in San Diego, how
509
00:29:51.119 --> 00:29:52.240
could you meet a marine?
510
00:29:52.359 --> 00:29:54.200
Is that exactly?
511
00:29:54.599 --> 00:29:54.759
So?
512
00:29:55.599 --> 00:29:59.799
But so so, when you wake up in the morning,
513
00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:03.519
you know, I'm going to the office or I'm going
514
00:30:03.599 --> 00:30:08.720
to work or what is it that drives you that
515
00:30:08.880 --> 00:30:12.079
makes you continue to And I know you know, love
516
00:30:12.160 --> 00:30:15.440
of clients, and I get that part, but is there
517
00:30:15.480 --> 00:30:19.400
something deeper in you that you feel like really drives you.
518
00:30:20.559 --> 00:30:26.839
Yes. Absolutely. My morning routine, my husband is in construction,
519
00:30:27.480 --> 00:30:30.759
so he wakes up at three o'clock am. I wake
520
00:30:30.839 --> 00:30:34.480
up at three thirty am. We have breakfast together. We
521
00:30:34.599 --> 00:30:36.880
have three dogs, so we feed the dogs at the
522
00:30:36.880 --> 00:30:39.799
same time. They're on our schedule. Then we both go
523
00:30:39.920 --> 00:30:41.880
to the gym and we work out and from there
524
00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:44.799
he goes to work and I come home. At that time,
525
00:30:45.319 --> 00:30:48.279
I load up the girls. I've got three girls, load
526
00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:50.119
them up, take them to a park so they get
527
00:30:50.160 --> 00:30:53.880
their exercise. And Ken, I'm in the office no later
528
00:30:53.920 --> 00:30:56.880
than sometimes, you know, six thirty seven. I get a
529
00:30:56.920 --> 00:30:59.799
good start. And why because One, I want to be
530
00:30:59.799 --> 00:31:02.240
in the power seat when the day starts. I want
531
00:31:02.279 --> 00:31:04.799
to control how the day goals. That's why we wake
532
00:31:04.880 --> 00:31:09.079
up super early. And two, I do have clients worldwide,
533
00:31:09.119 --> 00:31:12.079
so they can call it any time. They're very respectful
534
00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:15.759
of timing, but I want to be available to them. Now,
535
00:31:16.200 --> 00:31:18.480
why do I do this? What what's the what's the
536
00:31:18.599 --> 00:31:24.160
drive that that's causing me to wake up and continue
537
00:31:24.200 --> 00:31:28.720
serving clients? The bigger, bigger goal. The bigger goal, Ken,
538
00:31:28.920 --> 00:31:33.519
is I want to be able to open a nonprofit
539
00:31:33.960 --> 00:31:37.759
for dogs. It's going to be called for pause resort.
540
00:31:37.880 --> 00:31:40.680
It's going to be a forever home for dogs, Dogs
541
00:31:40.680 --> 00:31:43.400
that are abandoned, dogs that are sick, dogs that people
542
00:31:43.440 --> 00:31:47.079
don't want. These dogs, I can consider them as little
543
00:31:47.119 --> 00:31:50.920
angels from God. And so that's where my heart belongs.
544
00:31:50.960 --> 00:31:55.079
That's that's that's my big why, Ken, It's it's because
545
00:31:55.079 --> 00:31:58.960
of these innocent angels that need a home. And that
546
00:31:59.000 --> 00:32:01.559
would be the legacy, including the books and what have
547
00:32:01.640 --> 00:32:03.759
you written, But that would be the legacy that I'd
548
00:32:03.880 --> 00:32:04.759
like to leave behind.
549
00:32:05.720 --> 00:32:08.759
You and my wife would be best friends. I'm not
550
00:32:09.440 --> 00:32:12.279
if we could rescue every dog on the planet, they
551
00:32:12.319 --> 00:32:17.519
would be in my house. She actually, every single day
552
00:32:17.640 --> 00:32:20.160
of her life, in the morning, she goes to a
553
00:32:20.240 --> 00:32:24.119
horse and she volunteers for a horse and donkey rescue
554
00:32:24.720 --> 00:32:29.519
and here in Dallas or North Texas, and she literally
555
00:32:30.599 --> 00:32:34.240
goes every morning and feeds these horses and these this
556
00:32:34.720 --> 00:32:38.720
one subset of that she takes care of at this
557
00:32:38.839 --> 00:32:42.720
farm right outside of town, and every night she does it.
558
00:32:42.799 --> 00:32:47.240
And it's like, but dogs are where her heart is.
559
00:32:47.400 --> 00:32:51.519
Like the horses are just big, giant dogs. They could
560
00:32:51.519 --> 00:32:52.599
be naughty too.
561
00:32:53.079 --> 00:32:54.920
Yes, yes they can.
562
00:32:55.160 --> 00:32:59.880
I've been there and they're very intuitive too, yes, yes,
563
00:33:00.920 --> 00:33:04.400
they know exactly what who to trust and who not
564
00:33:04.480 --> 00:33:07.960
to trust. It's amazing.
565
00:33:10.160 --> 00:33:13.160
I was going to say, at Buckingham Palace, you have
566
00:33:13.680 --> 00:33:17.160
guards there on horses, and tourists always want to go
567
00:33:17.240 --> 00:33:20.000
up there and take a photo with them. There's one
568
00:33:20.079 --> 00:33:24.200
particular horse is extremely notorious for, you know, kind of
569
00:33:24.240 --> 00:33:27.119
pushing the tourists away or biting them or pulling them
570
00:33:27.240 --> 00:33:30.640
and he'll he'll nibble like this, and you can see
571
00:33:30.640 --> 00:33:33.319
he's done it to so many except for this one.
572
00:33:34.200 --> 00:33:36.680
She was a special needs kid.
573
00:33:37.640 --> 00:33:41.119
I saw a video I think special.
574
00:33:40.880 --> 00:33:44.599
The horse just you know, sort of very gentle very,
575
00:33:44.680 --> 00:33:48.480
sort of getting close to the kid, just very protective.
576
00:33:48.720 --> 00:33:52.319
It was amazing to see ken. So animals have this
577
00:33:52.839 --> 00:33:55.759
you know, protective side. To me, it's just beautiful to
578
00:33:55.799 --> 00:33:57.000
see it is.
579
00:33:57.319 --> 00:34:01.160
It is absolutely I think I saw a video or something,
580
00:34:01.200 --> 00:34:05.240
maybe on Instagram or somewhere ionized, but I know, I
581
00:34:05.319 --> 00:34:06.319
know what you're talking about.
582
00:34:06.400 --> 00:34:07.119
It's amazing.
583
00:34:07.759 --> 00:34:12.800
So your ultimate goal is to have a dog rescue
584
00:34:12.840 --> 00:34:17.880
in San Diego, I'm assuming yes, and what about taking
585
00:34:17.920 --> 00:34:19.440
it nationwide?
586
00:34:19.559 --> 00:34:23.519
That's exactly what we'll be doing. Headquarters. Headquarters will be
587
00:34:23.559 --> 00:34:26.960
here in San Diego, because you know there's no reason
588
00:34:27.000 --> 00:34:31.320
to move and then yes, absolutely can and hopefully internationally
589
00:34:31.360 --> 00:34:31.760
as well.
590
00:34:32.599 --> 00:34:38.920
Wow, that's amazing. So so what's next for you?
591
00:34:40.360 --> 00:34:45.880
What's next for me is life. Life has been pretty fantastic.
592
00:34:45.960 --> 00:34:48.400
Let me put it that way. I'm a very positive person.
593
00:34:48.480 --> 00:34:53.760
I choose to see the good in life and I
594
00:34:54.559 --> 00:35:00.119
have grown, if you will, over the years. Ken my
595
00:35:00.239 --> 00:35:03.239
other two businesses. One is called go Legal Yourself dot
596
00:35:03.280 --> 00:35:06.639
Com the name my husband came up with that name,
597
00:35:07.159 --> 00:35:13.559
and it's a online company. It's basically a business in
598
00:35:13.599 --> 00:35:15.800
a box with all the templates that you need to
599
00:35:15.840 --> 00:35:18.039
start your business and all the contracts that you're gonna
600
00:35:18.079 --> 00:35:21.000
need also, So it's called go Legal Yourself dot Com.
601
00:35:21.119 --> 00:35:26.280
And I created that business for clients or potential entrepreneurs
602
00:35:26.280 --> 00:35:28.639
that one don't want to go see a lawyer. They
603
00:35:28.760 --> 00:35:32.800
are above going to online companies and they just want
604
00:35:33.639 --> 00:35:37.559
a solid corporation with solid contracts. So I created that.
605
00:35:38.000 --> 00:35:42.679
And then I also created Pitbull pit Bulls and Pearls
606
00:35:43.039 --> 00:35:47.320
Pitbulls and Pearls coaching company. This is for people who
607
00:35:48.119 --> 00:35:52.800
love life and mean business. There's so many lessons that
608
00:35:53.000 --> 00:35:56.920
I have learned from my dogs can unbelievable. And these
609
00:35:56.920 --> 00:35:59.519
are simple lessons that you can apply in business and
610
00:35:59.599 --> 00:36:03.440
you can apply personally to yourself too, And that's how
611
00:36:03.480 --> 00:36:06.519
I'm out there trying to change and help people. And
612
00:36:08.320 --> 00:36:11.840
what's next for me, we will see, We will see
613
00:36:11.840 --> 00:36:17.000
what's next. I'm that there could be chatter of running
614
00:36:17.000 --> 00:36:22.760
for political office, and there could be chatter of, you know,
615
00:36:24.119 --> 00:36:27.880
maybe starting another company. I'm not quite sure. But what
616
00:36:27.920 --> 00:36:29.800
I can tell you, Ken is that I'm not going
617
00:36:29.840 --> 00:36:30.679
to be sitting still.
618
00:36:31.639 --> 00:36:37.199
I love that though. You know my buddy Grant cardone.
619
00:36:36.880 --> 00:36:41.039
Hash by the way. I love Grant. I've heard all
620
00:36:41.199 --> 00:36:45.000
of his books. I think he's brilliant. I love his mindset,
621
00:36:45.320 --> 00:36:48.039
and that's the type of mindset that I have.
622
00:36:48.280 --> 00:36:53.800
Yes, he's one of my biggest, if not my biggest mentor.
623
00:36:54.840 --> 00:36:58.159
I sat in his office in twenty fourteen, I think
624
00:36:58.159 --> 00:37:01.000
it was, and for three hours with him, and it
625
00:37:01.119 --> 00:37:04.719
like rocked my entire life. And I thought I knew
626
00:37:04.800 --> 00:37:08.960
everything already, but no, I didn't know anything. But he's
627
00:37:09.039 --> 00:37:12.199
talking about running for governor of California. I think it
628
00:37:12.239 --> 00:37:13.079
would be awesome.
629
00:37:14.599 --> 00:37:16.840
I know, I know to come talk to me.
630
00:37:16.920 --> 00:37:19.039
I can connect him with political people.
631
00:37:19.599 --> 00:37:24.840
Yeah, we're doing a we're doing an X space with him.
632
00:37:24.880 --> 00:37:28.679
I think on December. I think it's thirteenth, the evening
633
00:37:28.760 --> 00:37:33.000
of December thirteenth, to talk about the governor run. So
634
00:37:33.719 --> 00:37:36.639
there's my buddy, Joe Ingram. He's up there in Orange
635
00:37:36.719 --> 00:37:39.639
County by you so or I don't know if that's
636
00:37:39.679 --> 00:37:41.880
by I don't know California well enough to.
637
00:37:41.920 --> 00:37:46.079
Be it's probably about, you know, forty to fifty minutes north.
638
00:37:46.159 --> 00:37:48.400
Yes, yeah, he loves your backdrop.
639
00:37:48.440 --> 00:37:49.960
I love your backdrop.
640
00:37:49.519 --> 00:37:54.480
Too, thanks, so so so talk about I know you
641
00:37:54.519 --> 00:37:58.559
don't necessarily know what's next, or maybe you do and
642
00:37:58.599 --> 00:38:01.360
you're just not spilling the he as they would say
643
00:38:01.400 --> 00:38:06.599
in England. But what's I mean? What would motivate you
644
00:38:06.719 --> 00:38:11.679
to run for political office besides California?
645
00:38:13.119 --> 00:38:16.119
Because there, yes, exactly, you nailed it.
646
00:38:17.000 --> 00:38:20.000
And then do we You're like, can enough with the
647
00:38:20.119 --> 00:38:21.679
rhetorical question.
648
00:38:21.639 --> 00:38:22.280
Right right?
649
00:38:22.639 --> 00:38:26.079
I think the one thing Ken, that I really really
650
00:38:26.079 --> 00:38:32.280
want to highlight from a governmental standpoint is entrepreneurship. Why
651
00:38:32.360 --> 00:38:36.800
isn't entrepreneurship being taught in high schools? That's what I
652
00:38:36.840 --> 00:38:40.679
want to know. Why? Why is everyone you you're very
653
00:38:40.840 --> 00:38:43.239
very familiar with rich dad, poor dad.
654
00:38:43.719 --> 00:38:45.880
Yeah, I know very well.
655
00:38:46.440 --> 00:38:49.800
So why Ken, Why are our kids that are going
656
00:38:49.840 --> 00:38:52.119
to be the future of this country, why are they
657
00:38:52.159 --> 00:38:55.920
being taught to think like poor dads? Why? That's that's
658
00:38:55.920 --> 00:38:59.679
what I want to know. America is such an incredible country.
659
00:39:00.159 --> 00:39:03.760
I'm seeing it through my immigrant eyes. I wasn't born here, Ken,
660
00:39:03.760 --> 00:39:06.199
but this is my home. I've made it my home.
661
00:39:06.519 --> 00:39:09.800
It's been I'm living my American dream. By the way,
662
00:39:10.360 --> 00:39:14.039
my American dream, I'm living it. It's alive and well,
663
00:39:14.280 --> 00:39:18.280
and there's opportunity everywhere. You just have to know where
664
00:39:18.320 --> 00:39:21.280
to look. You just have to have the pearls to say, listen,
665
00:39:21.440 --> 00:39:23.800
I'm going to go for this opportunity, whether it's it's
666
00:39:23.840 --> 00:39:26.480
something or not. If you don't, you're going to get
667
00:39:26.519 --> 00:39:31.559
absolutely nothing. But entrepreneurship has really really allowed me to
668
00:39:31.599 --> 00:39:36.280
become independent, to become financially independent, Ken, not to rely
669
00:39:36.480 --> 00:39:39.719
on on a boss that could fire me tomorrow. There's
670
00:39:39.880 --> 00:39:44.320
there's like you said, you're not employable. I am employable,
671
00:39:44.360 --> 00:39:47.159
but I would take over. That's the type of mindset
672
00:39:47.199 --> 00:39:47.920
that I would have.
673
00:39:48.159 --> 00:39:53.159
That's why I'm not employable. They don't want you doing that.
674
00:39:53.519 --> 00:39:56.480
I learned that, Yeah, they don't want you taking over
675
00:39:56.960 --> 00:39:58.199
exactly exactly.
676
00:39:58.559 --> 00:40:02.400
But really, it's really it just all comes down to entrepreneurship.
677
00:40:02.679 --> 00:40:05.119
This country was based and it's been built on the
678
00:40:05.159 --> 00:40:08.039
backs of entrepreneurs, and there really really needs to be
679
00:40:08.159 --> 00:40:11.280
less regulation on entrepreneurs. There needs to be more access
680
00:40:11.320 --> 00:40:14.400
to capital for ones that want to start. Why aren't
681
00:40:14.400 --> 00:40:16.960
there these federal programs for kids that are going to
682
00:40:17.000 --> 00:40:19.559
graduate from school? Why can't you give them five thousand
683
00:40:19.559 --> 00:40:24.079
dollars which they apply towards a business right? So, I mean, America,
684
00:40:24.119 --> 00:40:27.320
the government's pissing away millions and millions, and now it's
685
00:40:27.360 --> 00:40:31.239
trillions of dollars, and every American should be outraged because
686
00:40:31.360 --> 00:40:33.679
you know what, they're using your money and they're using
687
00:40:33.760 --> 00:40:38.079
my money, and they're doing our youth and massive disservice.
688
00:40:38.119 --> 00:40:40.719
So if I can help, and if I can shed
689
00:40:40.840 --> 00:40:45.199
light on something that could be beneficial for America, not
690
00:40:45.360 --> 00:40:48.840
just Californians, that that would be my calling.
691
00:40:49.960 --> 00:40:53.000
I think that let's just go there. I'm going there
692
00:40:53.159 --> 00:40:57.039
like this can follow join or tell me to shut up,
693
00:40:57.079 --> 00:41:01.039
but I think that we have You're right, we have
694
00:41:01.159 --> 00:41:01.760
a problem.
695
00:41:02.199 --> 00:41:03.639
You know, we're sending.
696
00:41:04.760 --> 00:41:07.119
Oh this could get a shut down on Facebook, but
697
00:41:07.199 --> 00:41:10.880
I don't care. I mean, we're sending billions and billions,
698
00:41:11.039 --> 00:41:15.320
hundreds of billions of dollars. Now, a million dollars is
699
00:41:15.360 --> 00:41:18.800
not a lot of money anymore. Five million is not
700
00:41:18.960 --> 00:41:21.480
even really a lot of money. But like if you
701
00:41:21.559 --> 00:41:26.559
hand the average person a million dollars, they're gonna feel like, wow, right,
702
00:41:26.719 --> 00:41:33.639
that's a lot of money. But a billion dollars most
703
00:41:33.639 --> 00:41:37.039
people can't even wrap their brain around that what that is.
704
00:41:37.679 --> 00:41:41.480
And we're sending hundreds of billions of dollars to fund
705
00:41:41.559 --> 00:41:45.639
foreign wars and all kinds of other crazy stuff.
706
00:41:46.239 --> 00:41:49.920
Well, what about that museum in Angola? You know how
707
00:41:49.920 --> 00:41:53.480
many billions of dollars Biden just gave them for what?
708
00:41:54.079 --> 00:41:56.119
Because they want to they want to build a museum
709
00:41:56.239 --> 00:41:57.480
for slaves.
710
00:41:58.000 --> 00:41:58.800
That's insane.
711
00:41:59.239 --> 00:42:01.760
This is this is insane to me. Let's go there,
712
00:42:01.840 --> 00:42:06.960
Let's go there. Oh, let's go the Africans, the kings
713
00:42:06.960 --> 00:42:10.280
and queens of Africa, they're the ones that sold their
714
00:42:10.320 --> 00:42:14.360
own people too become slaves. So now Biden's given them
715
00:42:14.440 --> 00:42:17.800
billions of dollars to create what a museum for slaves
716
00:42:17.840 --> 00:42:19.880
that they they created?
717
00:42:21.280 --> 00:42:26.800
And Kelly, we have I asked ROC because I don't
718
00:42:26.920 --> 00:42:30.760
use woke Ai. I use Elon's ai, which is not woke,
719
00:42:31.800 --> 00:42:34.400
and I asked ROC, like, what's the current number of
720
00:42:34.480 --> 00:42:38.320
homeless US veterans? And it was somewhere I think. I
721
00:42:38.360 --> 00:42:41.360
think the answer it was thirty or forty thousand, and
722
00:42:41.400 --> 00:42:45.440
it's probably even more than that. But you know, I
723
00:42:45.480 --> 00:42:48.840
think about the and people are like, well, they choose
724
00:42:48.880 --> 00:42:51.960
to be homeless. Okay, I've been there as an adult.
725
00:42:52.039 --> 00:42:52.360
I was.
726
00:42:52.480 --> 00:42:55.360
I had some issues back before I got sober a
727
00:42:55.440 --> 00:43:00.840
long time ago. But you know, I think that we
728
00:43:00.920 --> 00:43:05.639
need to address our problems here. I mean, we're we're
729
00:43:05.679 --> 00:43:11.280
trying to play the goodwill and I honestly think it's
730
00:43:11.320 --> 00:43:15.880
all just a big money laundering. But we won't. I
731
00:43:15.880 --> 00:43:18.480
don't want to go too far. I don't need anybody
732
00:43:18.559 --> 00:43:21.159
knocking on the door. But I think that, you know,
733
00:43:21.239 --> 00:43:26.239
we have these these massive, massive amounts of money that
734
00:43:26.400 --> 00:43:28.960
are going out to all these like I didn't even
735
00:43:28.960 --> 00:43:30.159
know about this museum.
736
00:43:30.360 --> 00:43:31.880
What the hell is going on?
737
00:43:32.960 --> 00:43:36.559
It's crazy, so needless to stay because we're here now,
738
00:43:36.760 --> 00:43:40.679
ken we're here. I am super, super excited about our
739
00:43:40.800 --> 00:43:46.159
new president. I absolutely love Trump. I love love love
740
00:43:46.360 --> 00:43:49.480
I've always loved him, even prior to him running for president,
741
00:43:49.800 --> 00:43:52.039
because he's the epitome of an entrepreneur.
742
00:43:52.559 --> 00:43:53.280
Yes he is.
743
00:43:53.800 --> 00:43:58.800
Yes, and we have a task force coming in too, right,
744
00:43:58.840 --> 00:44:02.039
that's god. I know, guess what Biden's doing. He's trying
745
00:44:02.079 --> 00:44:04.719
to empty the coffers. How insane.
746
00:44:06.360 --> 00:44:10.800
But it is people just and again the people who
747
00:44:10.880 --> 00:44:15.519
support that, like they it's it's you know, cognitive dissonance.
748
00:44:15.599 --> 00:44:19.400
They can't they can't think anything outside of what they
749
00:44:19.599 --> 00:44:23.440
completely believe in. And thank god, I've not experienced that
750
00:44:23.519 --> 00:44:26.239
in my life. I've always been pretty open to whatever,
751
00:44:26.440 --> 00:44:30.360
like let me just see what's the what's going on here?
752
00:44:30.360 --> 00:44:34.199
But you know, the bottom line is we have serious
753
00:44:34.239 --> 00:44:38.559
freaking problems in this country and and and we're sitting
754
00:44:38.599 --> 00:44:46.559
back and watching people just completely decimate the everything. It's crazy.
755
00:44:47.039 --> 00:44:50.000
So so I want to hear about I want to
756
00:44:50.519 --> 00:44:52.599
I didn't know we would go here, but we're here.
757
00:44:52.679 --> 00:44:53.639
Let's talk about it.
758
00:44:54.719 --> 00:44:56.800
I want to hear your opinion on it because I
759
00:44:56.840 --> 00:45:01.360
love the Vek Ramaswami and I love Elon. I love
760
00:45:01.440 --> 00:45:05.360
Elon and Vivek. I love what Trump is doing with
761
00:45:05.480 --> 00:45:09.840
them and the DOGE Department of Government Efficiency.
762
00:45:10.519 --> 00:45:12.760
What are your thoughts on that?
763
00:45:13.320 --> 00:45:14.920
I love it. I want to be part of it.
764
00:45:15.000 --> 00:45:18.480
I absolutely love it. There needs to be oversight, Ken.
765
00:45:18.760 --> 00:45:21.280
It needs to start from the top. Like you said,
766
00:45:21.320 --> 00:45:25.639
they're pissing away billions and billions now were in debt,
767
00:45:25.679 --> 00:45:28.519
in trillions of money, trillions. No one's ever seen what
768
00:45:28.559 --> 00:45:31.280
a trillion dollars looks like, right, but we're in debt.
769
00:45:31.559 --> 00:45:36.239
I am excited. This should have happened ages ago. The government.
770
00:45:36.519 --> 00:45:40.719
They're creating these departments and we're funding them, and we
771
00:45:40.760 --> 00:45:43.679
don't even know what these departments do. By the way, Ken,
772
00:45:43.719 --> 00:45:48.519
did you hear that six percent, only six percent of
773
00:45:48.559 --> 00:45:54.840
the federal workers actually go into work since the pandemic,
774
00:45:55.239 --> 00:45:59.519
only six percent? So we're paying for the ninety four
775
00:45:59.559 --> 00:46:01.719
percent of federal workers to stay home.
776
00:46:03.719 --> 00:46:09.960
Unbelievable. And we could go there too. I wouldn't. I wouldn't.
777
00:46:10.119 --> 00:46:12.840
So I was invited to speak at an event in
778
00:46:12.920 --> 00:46:16.400
Los Angeles, and so I flew out there and I
779
00:46:16.480 --> 00:46:19.519
remember what. I'll never fly into Lax again, by the way,
780
00:46:19.519 --> 00:46:23.760
but I flew into Lax and I'm walking around and
781
00:46:23.800 --> 00:46:26.599
I'm like, this is in like twenty twenty two, and
782
00:46:26.639 --> 00:46:31.880
I'm like, why is everybody wearing a mask? Like everybody
783
00:46:31.920 --> 00:46:35.360
had a mask? I'm like, what I mean, not everybody?
784
00:46:35.559 --> 00:46:39.760
And they're announcing it on the speaker system. If you're
785
00:46:39.800 --> 00:46:42.639
at LAX, you have to wear a mask, and I'm like,
786
00:46:43.639 --> 00:46:45.159
you can kiss my mask.
787
00:46:45.239 --> 00:46:47.920
I'm not wearing a mask. Like, what are you talking about?
788
00:46:48.599 --> 00:46:54.559
It's so so disgusting, so unhealthy. Yes, yes, yep, I'm
789
00:46:54.599 --> 00:46:54.880
with you.
790
00:46:55.639 --> 00:46:59.000
I think that, you know, and again I do believe.
791
00:46:59.719 --> 00:47:03.880
I'm so see, we're conditioned to believe that if we
792
00:47:03.920 --> 00:47:05.960
say the wrong thing, that we're we're going to get
793
00:47:05.960 --> 00:47:09.480
in trouble with Facebook and all that. I just don't
794
00:47:09.559 --> 00:47:13.840
care anymore exactly, you know, I think that, you know,
795
00:47:13.920 --> 00:47:19.840
we're so conditioned to believe everything that comes from the media,
796
00:47:20.280 --> 00:47:24.119
which is all a lie pretty much, that we're conditioned
797
00:47:24.159 --> 00:47:27.440
to believe everything that comes from the government and all
798
00:47:27.480 --> 00:47:31.480
of this stuff about the pandemic. I don't even I
799
00:47:31.840 --> 00:47:34.159
think ninety percent of it was made up.
800
00:47:34.440 --> 00:47:38.519
One hundred percent. Can as far as what were you
801
00:47:38.519 --> 00:47:40.239
You had just mentioned.
802
00:47:39.840 --> 00:47:44.559
Something about the media, the media, Yes.
803
00:47:44.400 --> 00:47:47.079
Yes, thank you. That's the other point, right So if
804
00:47:47.079 --> 00:47:50.400
I if I was ever called to serve, that's the
805
00:47:50.519 --> 00:47:53.000
other biggest thing that I need to bring attention to.
806
00:47:53.039 --> 00:47:54.800
And no one's doing that right now. And I'm really
807
00:47:54.840 --> 00:47:57.320
hoping that Trump's going to do something about it, because
808
00:47:57.360 --> 00:48:01.239
it's the media. Either can you're a new use outlet
809
00:48:01.440 --> 00:48:05.360
and you report on factual news that's all you do,
810
00:48:05.719 --> 00:48:09.079
or you're an opinion outlet. You cannot mix the two.
811
00:48:09.199 --> 00:48:11.679
You cannot do that because when you're when you're what
812
00:48:11.719 --> 00:48:14.840
they're doing right now, they're injecting their own opinions. We
813
00:48:14.920 --> 00:48:17.559
don't know what's factual, we don't know what's the truth
814
00:48:17.599 --> 00:48:21.760
because it's it's the host that's injecting their opinions. So
815
00:48:22.079 --> 00:48:24.519
and they can say anything on the show about someone
816
00:48:24.719 --> 00:48:28.599
and ruin their credibility. This needs to stop. What happened
817
00:48:28.639 --> 00:48:32.320
to journalism, actual real journalism. What happened to that No
818
00:48:32.320 --> 00:48:35.960
one's doing their homework anymore. They hear something, hear say
819
00:48:36.000 --> 00:48:38.079
and then they run out and write a false story.
820
00:48:38.360 --> 00:48:41.400
So there needs to be consequences. Same thing goes to
821
00:48:42.440 --> 00:48:45.039
these social media outlets, and yes we're talking, you know,
822
00:48:45.079 --> 00:48:47.360
we're on Facebook right now, but I'm gonna I'm gonna
823
00:48:47.360 --> 00:48:49.000
go there. I'm going to talk about this too.
824
00:48:49.400 --> 00:48:49.599
Yeah.
825
00:48:49.960 --> 00:48:54.320
The biggest, the biggest party in this is Facebook. It
826
00:48:54.519 --> 00:49:00.199
is It's Zuckerberg. He's the biggest contributor to all all
827
00:49:00.199 --> 00:49:03.679
of this false information that was provided. I'm going there
828
00:49:03.760 --> 00:49:07.519
can I'm saying it. But now they're coming back and saying, oh,
829
00:49:07.519 --> 00:49:09.880
we'd like to play nice with you, President Trump. So
830
00:49:10.559 --> 00:49:13.400
it really does take a solid leader like President Trump
831
00:49:13.440 --> 00:49:16.039
to work with people like this, and he's doing the
832
00:49:16.119 --> 00:49:20.519
right thing. But these outlets, they have to be held accountable.
833
00:49:20.599 --> 00:49:23.719
I don't know when American people are going to wake
834
00:49:23.800 --> 00:49:26.119
up and say, listen, we've had enough. They've done that
835
00:49:26.239 --> 00:49:28.800
during this election, But what about all the lies that
836
00:49:28.880 --> 00:49:30.079
was pedaled to us?
837
00:49:30.760 --> 00:49:34.840
I think, Kelly, I think, and I suspect that we're
838
00:49:34.880 --> 00:49:42.519
probably on the same frequency here. I think that you know, so,
839
00:49:42.679 --> 00:49:47.119
doctor Jerome Corsi has a double PhD in political science,
840
00:49:47.159 --> 00:49:50.280
and he's a friend of mine, he's a friend of Trump's,
841
00:49:50.360 --> 00:49:54.000
and he actually is an advisor, was an advisor of Trump,
842
00:49:54.079 --> 00:49:58.760
and I was involved with helping him with some stuff
843
00:49:58.800 --> 00:50:02.840
and the technol g space. I don't want to get
844
00:50:02.880 --> 00:50:06.960
too far into it, but YouTube deleted my interview with
845
00:50:07.079 --> 00:50:10.559
him on this show two and a half years after
846
00:50:10.679 --> 00:50:15.440
I interviewed him, and I remember getting the email thinking,
847
00:50:16.199 --> 00:50:20.079
because I you know, you see them, You hear people saying, oh,
848
00:50:20.159 --> 00:50:23.440
we're being controlled and I and I and it's the
849
00:50:23.480 --> 00:50:26.519
first time that it happened. And I said, why all
850
00:50:26.559 --> 00:50:28.920
he said was Trump was going to win the election
851
00:50:29.119 --> 00:50:31.360
in twenty twenty because he did. He said all that,
852
00:50:31.440 --> 00:50:35.480
and he's you know, was calling out the truth. And
853
00:50:35.519 --> 00:50:38.639
then they deleted it and I was like, they deleted it,
854
00:50:38.719 --> 00:50:42.039
are you kidding me? And so, you know, I think
855
00:50:42.159 --> 00:50:45.159
what we really need to address, and I really hope
856
00:50:45.159 --> 00:50:49.000
that this next administration does address, and I think they're
857
00:50:49.039 --> 00:50:55.719
going to, is the absolute abhorrent evil that's surging through
858
00:50:55.760 --> 00:50:59.719
the veins of this world. And I'm talking about the
859
00:51:00.079 --> 00:51:05.000
not the not the I'm talking about the puppet masters. Yes,
860
00:51:05.440 --> 00:51:09.719
only a handful, and they need to be exposed. And
861
00:51:09.719 --> 00:51:12.480
and this this needs to stop. I mean, it's got
862
00:51:12.480 --> 00:51:16.360
to stop. It's insane, or we're going to end as
863
00:51:16.360 --> 00:51:17.559
a human race.
864
00:51:18.840 --> 00:51:22.119
We're close to we're on the brink of war. You
865
00:51:22.239 --> 00:51:25.440
know that we're this is this is where the administration,
866
00:51:25.559 --> 00:51:29.079
the Biden Harris administration brought us. They brought us to
867
00:51:29.119 --> 00:51:31.559
the brink of war. Is that what we want? We
868
00:51:31.639 --> 00:51:35.440
don't want that we're the most powerful country in the world,
869
00:51:35.559 --> 00:51:39.360
can in the world. We should be feared. But however,
870
00:51:40.199 --> 00:51:43.119
because of who's running it. America is just a big,
871
00:51:43.199 --> 00:51:46.320
massive business, right and the president is the CEO of
872
00:51:46.360 --> 00:51:49.119
the business. So it depends on who's running the country.
873
00:51:49.159 --> 00:51:54.760
Who's running the business, so putting really incredible leaders that
874
00:51:55.119 --> 00:51:59.360
actually know how to lead. President Trump isn't even in office,
875
00:51:59.679 --> 00:52:03.320
and you got heads of state around the world calling
876
00:52:03.440 --> 00:52:06.400
him and backing he's not even in office.
877
00:52:07.320 --> 00:52:12.280
They're gone, tomorro Lago. Truth.
878
00:52:12.320 --> 00:52:15.639
Did you see Trudeau go down there right this tale
879
00:52:15.719 --> 00:52:16.639
between his legs.
880
00:52:17.039 --> 00:52:21.880
Did you hear what Trump said to him?
881
00:52:22.039 --> 00:52:25.000
He said that you tariffs will kill us as the country.
882
00:52:25.000 --> 00:52:28.239
And Trump said, well, then maybe you should become the
883
00:52:28.280 --> 00:52:30.079
fifty first stage.
884
00:52:31.440 --> 00:52:34.559
And you can be the very first governor of that state.
885
00:52:34.760 --> 00:52:37.199
I love it. I love it. Look at this right
886
00:52:37.320 --> 00:52:42.280
so and under Trump's administration and Vance, I'm super excited
887
00:52:42.320 --> 00:52:45.159
about Vance as well. We needed to bring in some
888
00:52:45.320 --> 00:52:49.679
young blood and conservative leaders like that. So I really
889
00:52:49.760 --> 00:52:53.800
am excited about this administration and I've got big high
890
00:52:53.800 --> 00:52:54.800
hopes for them.
891
00:52:55.239 --> 00:52:58.480
I love it. I absolutely love it. I had a
892
00:52:58.519 --> 00:53:01.199
suspicion that we were on this theme page before I
893
00:53:01.239 --> 00:53:06.039
ever met you, So Kelly, you know, I can't believe
894
00:53:06.079 --> 00:53:08.159
we're already we only have a few minutes left. But
895
00:53:08.840 --> 00:53:13.480
let me ask you an important question. I asked, you know,
896
00:53:13.519 --> 00:53:17.559
there was a moment in my business. My wife and
897
00:53:17.599 --> 00:53:20.119
I met. I had the company for two years, just
898
00:53:20.119 --> 00:53:25.000
building websites for people, and then she had been the
899
00:53:25.039 --> 00:53:29.880
global VP of marketing for two giant companies and she
900
00:53:30.159 --> 00:53:32.119
was downsized in eight right.
901
00:53:32.239 --> 00:53:33.000
Her job was.
902
00:53:32.960 --> 00:53:36.199
Gone, her whole department was gone, and so she came
903
00:53:36.239 --> 00:53:38.559
and worked with me, and we teamed up and we'd
904
00:53:38.599 --> 00:53:41.920
built a heck of a business. But you know, there
905
00:53:42.039 --> 00:53:45.920
was a moment. There's been many moments, but there was
906
00:53:45.960 --> 00:53:50.119
this one particular moment when a guy comes walking into
907
00:53:50.119 --> 00:53:52.559
my office that worked for me, and he's like and
908
00:53:52.639 --> 00:53:55.000
he's this big old dude, and he's like, hey, there's
909
00:53:55.000 --> 00:53:57.079
some dude out in the parking lot looking in the
910
00:53:57.119 --> 00:54:01.760
windows of your suv. And I go, I'm on the phone.
911
00:54:01.800 --> 00:54:03.679
I go, dude, you're bigger than me, telling him to
912
00:54:03.679 --> 00:54:05.679
get the hell out of here. He's like, he's got
913
00:54:05.679 --> 00:54:08.280
it blocked with his tow truck, and I'm like.
914
00:54:10.320 --> 00:54:13.800
No, yes, Sepo.
915
00:54:15.000 --> 00:54:18.840
I had my car repossessed in front of all of
916
00:54:19.079 --> 00:54:22.639
all four of my employees, and I remember standing out
917
00:54:22.639 --> 00:54:25.199
in the parking lot and you cannot convince a tote
918
00:54:25.760 --> 00:54:29.280
repo guy to not tow your car. I remember standing
919
00:54:29.360 --> 00:54:33.880
out there and going, watching my my car go away,
920
00:54:34.159 --> 00:54:38.519
and I'm looking at my employees, going it's gonna be okay,
921
00:54:38.639 --> 00:54:41.480
I promise, and they you know that, you know they're
922
00:54:41.519 --> 00:54:45.320
not believing you, and you know so, so talk about
923
00:54:45.400 --> 00:54:49.079
if you would the things because they're I remember in
924
00:54:49.119 --> 00:54:52.039
that moment, I thought, what is the point of going on?
925
00:54:52.480 --> 00:54:57.000
Like I everybody's getting paid except for us, and so
926
00:54:58.440 --> 00:55:01.519
how how do you what would you say to the
927
00:55:01.599 --> 00:55:06.599
people listening who are right now? The economy still sucks.
928
00:55:06.639 --> 00:55:09.280
I don't care what everybody's like, Oh it's getting better,
929
00:55:10.079 --> 00:55:13.000
it maybe a little bit, but it's really really bad.
930
00:55:13.079 --> 00:55:15.519
So what do you say to the people who are
931
00:55:15.679 --> 00:55:19.320
barely hanging on by a tiny little thread and they're
932
00:55:19.320 --> 00:55:21.400
about ready to throw in the towel? What do you
933
00:55:21.440 --> 00:55:23.280
say to them? And I'm gonna give you full screen
934
00:55:23.360 --> 00:55:26.159
for this because this might be the most important answer
935
00:55:26.199 --> 00:55:28.000
that you delivered today.
936
00:55:28.880 --> 00:55:33.960
Okay, all right, this message is to all my entrepreneur friends.
937
00:55:34.679 --> 00:55:38.599
We are friends because we're entrepreneurs, and entrepreneurs really need
938
00:55:38.639 --> 00:55:42.679
to stick together. But if you are on the brink
939
00:55:43.320 --> 00:55:45.559
and you don't know whether you're going to make it,
940
00:55:45.599 --> 00:55:48.199
and you want to throw the towel in. My advice
941
00:55:48.280 --> 00:55:52.920
to you is simply look inside, reach inside of who
942
00:55:52.960 --> 00:55:56.119
you are. If you were meant to be an entrepreneur,
943
00:55:56.159 --> 00:55:58.960
you're going to find your way through this. There are
944
00:55:59.039 --> 00:56:01.840
this help out there. If you need financial help, there
945
00:56:01.840 --> 00:56:04.679
are grants, there's loans you can go to family and friends,
946
00:56:05.000 --> 00:56:09.280
you can put up collateral. Do not do not drop
947
00:56:09.360 --> 00:56:14.559
this because you're at the fork if you will where
948
00:56:14.599 --> 00:56:18.239
you need money. If it's not a money situation, then
949
00:56:18.320 --> 00:56:20.559
that's where you really need to think about. Is this
950
00:56:20.719 --> 00:56:23.320
the plan that I want for this company? Which direction
951
00:56:23.400 --> 00:56:25.599
do I want to take the company in? Were you,
952
00:56:25.760 --> 00:56:28.039
first of all, were you even meant to be an entrepreneur?
953
00:56:28.400 --> 00:56:31.079
Right if you started a company, you were meant to
954
00:56:31.119 --> 00:56:34.119
be an entrepreneur because we have a different mindset, always
955
00:56:34.159 --> 00:56:36.679
have a different mindset. As an entrepreneur. You're not just
956
00:56:36.760 --> 00:56:41.960
responsible for yourself. You're responsible for others, your teammates, your employees.
957
00:56:42.400 --> 00:56:45.239
And I promise you, I promise you, I've been there,
958
00:56:45.360 --> 00:56:48.599
I've done this. I was on the brink of which
959
00:56:48.639 --> 00:56:51.199
way do I go? I was hoping and praying. My
960
00:56:53.000 --> 00:56:55.840
business plan was a hope and a prayer that money
961
00:56:55.880 --> 00:56:57.679
was going to come in so I can pay my
962
00:56:58.159 --> 00:57:00.159
bills and keep a roof over my head. That that
963
00:57:00.239 --> 00:57:04.320
was my plan. Don't have that plan. Make sure that
964
00:57:04.400 --> 00:57:07.440
you really do figure out who are you inside? Is
965
00:57:07.480 --> 00:57:10.519
this something that you really want? Get some help being
966
00:57:10.559 --> 00:57:13.920
an entrepreneur. It's tough surround yourself with other entrepreneurs. We've
967
00:57:13.960 --> 00:57:17.320
all been through this, I promise you. But it's that
968
00:57:17.519 --> 00:57:20.079
moment where you're going to hang in there. Things are
969
00:57:20.119 --> 00:57:21.679
going to be tough. You're going to think that you're
970
00:57:21.719 --> 00:57:25.519
drowning and nobody cares. I promise you. You put in
971
00:57:25.559 --> 00:57:28.480
your blood, sweat and tears, and if this is your baby,
972
00:57:28.880 --> 00:57:31.800
it's your responsibility to raise it. And if that means
973
00:57:31.800 --> 00:57:35.280
that you go hungry for a couple of months or years,
974
00:57:35.599 --> 00:57:39.920
that's your responsibility. And I promise you will become successful
975
00:57:40.119 --> 00:57:43.519
because of the conviction and the heart and everything else
976
00:57:43.559 --> 00:57:45.079
you've put into your business.
977
00:57:46.000 --> 00:57:50.239
That is beautiful. That is so beautiful. I do.
978
00:57:50.360 --> 00:57:54.880
I encourage people all the time just to just take
979
00:57:54.920 --> 00:57:57.719
the next, one little baby step at a time.
980
00:57:57.840 --> 00:58:00.760
Sometimes because can they say, how do you eat an
981
00:58:00.760 --> 00:58:04.480
elephant right, one bite at a time. By the way,
982
00:58:04.519 --> 00:58:05.280
don't eat elephants.
983
00:58:05.320 --> 00:58:11.119
We love elephants, right, Tony And yeah, but I think
984
00:58:11.199 --> 00:58:15.039
you know, because of course the other side was like
985
00:58:15.360 --> 00:58:19.320
Trump's filed bankruptcy. You know, I do know that He's
986
00:58:19.360 --> 00:58:22.760
had companies that had to go bankrupt and that's just
987
00:58:24.480 --> 00:58:28.679
the way life works sometimes in the business world. Many
988
00:58:28.719 --> 00:58:31.039
many years ago, I had to go bankrupt. I mean,
989
00:58:31.079 --> 00:58:35.480
I've been. You cannot be an entrepreneur and not have
990
00:58:35.719 --> 00:58:39.320
gone through the crap of trying to figure all this
991
00:58:39.400 --> 00:58:43.559
stuff out. It's not and I honestly, sometimes Kelly, I
992
00:58:43.599 --> 00:58:46.519
wake up and go, I'm not quite sure why I'm
993
00:58:46.559 --> 00:58:50.719
doing this because I maybe I'm a glutton for punishment.
994
00:58:50.800 --> 00:58:54.119
I don't know, but you know, it is there is
995
00:58:54.280 --> 00:58:58.920
something about being an entrepreneur and you're right, getting the
996
00:58:59.039 --> 00:59:02.880
right attorney, getting the right CPA, surrounding yourself with the
997
00:59:02.960 --> 00:59:09.920
right people. There's something about that that is just It's
998
00:59:10.519 --> 00:59:12.599
probably the truest thing you could have said.
999
00:59:13.599 --> 00:59:16.519
And that's exactly what the government does. That's exactly what
1000
00:59:16.679 --> 00:59:20.000
our new administration has done. He surrounded it himself with
1001
00:59:20.079 --> 00:59:23.079
brilliant minds because you can't do everything all by yourself,
1002
00:59:23.119 --> 00:59:26.239
and there's so many entrepreneur groups that you can join,
1003
00:59:26.360 --> 00:59:28.280
especially if you're on the brink of I'm going to
1004
00:59:28.360 --> 00:59:30.599
throw this in. And by the way, there are different
1005
00:59:30.639 --> 00:59:33.840
types of bankruptcies as well. And you know what, that's
1006
00:59:34.000 --> 00:59:36.840
your right. It's the law if something, if you need
1007
00:59:36.880 --> 00:59:40.440
to scrap something so you can start fresh again, that's brilliant,
1008
00:59:40.679 --> 00:59:44.440
right ye. Our law allows for that, So yes.
1009
00:59:44.719 --> 00:59:48.119
Amen, I agree. And there's no shame in the game.
1010
00:59:48.000 --> 00:59:51.400
And that means that you took a risk. You took
1011
00:59:51.400 --> 00:59:53.599
a risk. That means you did something with your life.
1012
00:59:53.920 --> 00:59:56.679
Now if that didn't work, you continue, pick up and
1013
00:59:57.199 --> 00:59:58.519
continue with the next one.
1014
00:59:59.039 --> 00:59:59.440
Amen.
1015
01:00:00.599 --> 01:00:04.199
Kelly Bagla, you are amazing and one of my new
1016
01:00:04.199 --> 01:00:08.320
best friends. I'm so so grateful that you came on
1017
01:00:08.400 --> 01:00:12.079
today and shared your wisdom and your story. I would
1018
01:00:12.119 --> 01:00:15.440
like to invite you if you would like. I'm an
1019
01:00:15.480 --> 01:00:19.639
Amazon influencer also, which means I'm allowed to live stream
1020
01:00:19.719 --> 01:00:23.760
directly to Amazon's customers. So maybe we can do a
1021
01:00:23.920 --> 01:00:27.599
separate Amazon live and sell your books to Amazon.
1022
01:00:28.519 --> 01:00:31.440
