Welcome to the Think Generational Wealth Podcast, and this is episode number 120.
00:00:07.253 --> 00:00:09.387
I am your host, amir Estimo.
00:00:09.387 --> 00:00:25.547
We appreciate you tuning in in today's podcast episode, because you could be doing anything in this world, but the fact that you are listening to this podcast, it is much appreciated and I hope today's episode is valuable to you.
00:00:25.547 --> 00:00:31.623
Now this podcast is brought to you by Starville Talent Group.
00:00:31.623 --> 00:00:39.115
Ok, now today's episode is going to be a interesting episode.
00:00:40.040 --> 00:00:47.226
Now, if you've been listening to this podcast for a very long time I usually do not it's two subjects I stay away from.
00:00:47.226 --> 00:00:51.371
One is politics and religion.
00:00:51.371 --> 00:00:58.470
In my opinion this is my opinion I feel like these two topics just create a lot of division.
00:00:58.470 --> 00:01:02.460
They're very divisive and there is no clear cut winner.
00:01:02.460 --> 00:01:07.191
So those are two topics I tend to stay away from.
00:01:07.191 --> 00:01:11.608
So you can, you probably anybody here who's into politics.
00:01:11.608 --> 00:01:15.043
You're probably 10 times smarter than me when it comes to that.
00:01:15.043 --> 00:01:23.364
I know what's going on, but I don't really engage much in political topics or even religious topics.
00:01:23.364 --> 00:01:34.953
Ok, but the reason I'm saying this today's episode well, at least the first part of it has kind of a religious overtone to it.
00:01:34.953 --> 00:01:50.602
Now, if you are not religious, please just listen to the topic or the I guess the explanation don't focus so much on, because it's religious and the Bible or whatever.
00:01:51.024 --> 00:01:56.894
This topic was inspired by my daughter, my daughter, my oldest.
00:01:56.894 --> 00:02:03.707
She just turned 18 a few months ago and she's graduating this year, in 2025.
00:02:03.707 --> 00:02:11.616
And we all have been through there where we're trying to figure out our next life, what to do in our next life.
00:02:11.616 --> 00:02:26.050
As we now leave and start to get ready to be in the real world, she mentioned to me and said that, and she was just telling me how she felt, and she said I don't really know what is my purpose.
00:02:26.050 --> 00:02:57.561
And she was a little down about that and I thought to myself how many of us don't really even know what our purpose is, or even what is our talent that we can share with the world, talent that we can share with the world because each one of us, the creator, instill something in us and the job is to share it with the world before we leave this world, before we physically leave this world.
00:02:57.561 --> 00:03:00.044
For me, it's on this.
00:03:00.685 --> 00:03:04.149
I don't know if any of you guys ever heard of the parable of the talents.
00:03:04.149 --> 00:03:10.596
Now, it's taken from the Bible Matthew 25, 14 through 30.
00:03:10.596 --> 00:03:13.507
So if you, any of you guys, are very religious.
00:03:13.507 --> 00:03:24.349
This is probably a reminder, but also you could probably check it out and read it how the story goes there was a master that was leaving and he was traveling.
00:03:24.890 --> 00:03:30.044
He had three servants slaves, depending on what version of the Bible you're reading.
00:03:30.044 --> 00:03:35.713
He had three servants that he gave.
00:03:35.713 --> 00:03:36.721
He had eight talents.
00:03:36.721 --> 00:03:41.266
So the first servant he gave five talents.
00:03:41.266 --> 00:03:47.735
The second one, he gave two talents and then the third one he gave one talent to.
00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:56.842
Upon his return, he called his slaves over, or servants over, and then he was starting to say, questioning them.
00:03:56.842 --> 00:04:02.072
The first one he gave the first talent to, which was five.
00:04:02.072 --> 00:04:04.703
He said hey, how did it go?
00:04:04.703 --> 00:04:07.531
I gave you five talents, what did you do with your talents?
00:04:07.531 --> 00:04:16.122
The first servant says master, I took those five talents and I put them to good use, and now he doubled them.
00:04:16.122 --> 00:04:17.447
He has 10 talents.
00:04:17.447 --> 00:04:20.901
Master says good job, he's faithful servant.
00:04:20.901 --> 00:04:27.930
Then the second servant he gave when he gave two talents to.
00:04:27.930 --> 00:04:31.596
He then asked him hey, what did you do with your talents?
00:04:31.596 --> 00:04:36.951
And the second one says master, I took these two talents, put it to use.
00:04:36.951 --> 00:04:40.303
Now I double, now I have four talents.
00:04:40.303 --> 00:04:42.206
Good, good job.
00:04:42.206 --> 00:04:45.350
Talent, good, good job, faithful servant.
00:04:45.350 --> 00:04:58.524
Since you increased the talents that I gave you, just like the first one, I will give you an abundance more.
00:04:58.564 --> 00:05:02.132
The last servant that he gave one, the last servant, took that talent and went to go hit it.
00:05:02.132 --> 00:05:06.401
So when the master asked him, he said, hey, what did you do with your talent?
00:05:06.401 --> 00:05:11.975
He says, master, I took that talent and I took it and hit it.
00:05:11.975 --> 00:05:17.387
So the master says, well, why would you have the talent instead of increasing it?
00:05:17.387 --> 00:05:21.002
He says he got afraid and he hid the talent.
00:05:21.002 --> 00:05:27.680
The master then says, basically call him out and says hey, you know he wasn't too thrilled.
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:30.504
I gave you one talent At least.
00:05:30.504 --> 00:05:43.971
The most you could have did was take that talent, maybe deposit it in a bank or something to that nature, and you could have grew that talent, could have grew some interest.
00:05:43.971 --> 00:05:48.670
I could have received that talent back with grown interest.
00:05:48.670 --> 00:05:54.291
So basically, the master kicked him out, was very disappointed.
00:05:55.120 --> 00:06:07.096
Talk about this, and I bring this up, and the reason I say this is we each have talents, that we take these talents and we hide them and we don't do nothing with them.
00:06:07.096 --> 00:06:27.031
They say the richest place in the earth is the grave, because you don't know how many people passed away, instead of sharing their talents with the world, took their talents and hid it, just like that last servant did, did not increase his talents.
00:06:27.031 --> 00:06:34.274
I'm going to give you five reasons why you should share your talents with the world.
00:06:34.274 --> 00:06:41.870
Now, if this doesn't apply to you, hey, there's always a lesson learned in every topic.
00:06:41.870 --> 00:06:55.797
If you feel today that you are someone that is struggling to try to understand what is it that you can share with this world, please listen to this.
00:06:55.797 --> 00:06:58.663
This would be interesting for you.
00:06:58.663 --> 00:07:01.471
I go on to and I say I said okay.
00:07:01.471 --> 00:07:04.718
Well, what are five talents that we can share with this world?
00:07:04.718 --> 00:07:06.201
What are these five talents?
00:07:06.201 --> 00:07:10.589
Because each one of us have talents that we can share.
00:07:10.589 --> 00:07:12.574
Here's here's five reasons.
00:07:12.574 --> 00:07:17.267
Here's five reasons why you should share your talent with the world.
00:07:18.329 --> 00:07:22.723
Number one you have the power to inspire others.
00:07:22.723 --> 00:07:29.194
But before we get into that, think about people, even celebrities.
00:07:29.194 --> 00:07:33.211
Michael Jordan what if he never picked up the basketball?
00:07:33.211 --> 00:07:52.494
How many people he probably would have inspired if they just didn't even watch Michael Jordan play and says I want to be like Mike and inspire them to go play basketball and change their trajectory, change their family tree, change the family generation.
00:07:52.494 --> 00:07:59.449
How many, how many times you hear some of these athletes say they were inspired because of Michael Jordan?
00:07:59.449 --> 00:08:01.882
Bob Marley there's another one.
00:08:01.882 --> 00:08:10.490
What if he never picked up a guitar and started singing one love, three little birds OK, what if Bob Marley never did that?
00:08:10.490 --> 00:08:22.634
Michael Jackson it doesn't matter if you're black or white the Moonwalk how many of these artists that you've seen that were inspired because of Michael Jackson?
00:08:22.634 --> 00:08:31.769
Even Beyonce, I know not a lot of people like her and she's controversial, but still people were inspired because of her.
00:08:31.769 --> 00:08:40.626
How many, how many people that was inspired because Beyonce inspired them to take action.
00:08:40.626 --> 00:08:47.921
And now they're big, their family tree has been changed, their family legacy has been changed.
00:08:47.921 --> 00:08:56.445
That is why one of the reasons you should share your talent with the world, because if you don't, what happens?
00:08:56.445 --> 00:08:57.687
No one knows.
00:08:57.687 --> 00:08:58.769
You don't know.
00:09:00.011 --> 00:09:02.600
Opportunities come to those who show up.
00:09:02.600 --> 00:09:09.986
Could you imagine if Michael Jordan, if he didn't take that basketball practice, a jump shot every night?
00:09:09.986 --> 00:09:24.018
Go and lift weights, keep practicing, tried off her basketball team, didn't make it, came back the next year, tried out again, went to the University of North Carolina, then got drafted by the Chicago Bulls.
00:09:24.018 --> 00:09:42.072
Where would he be if he did not just show up Bob Marley performing, low-level clubs performing probably from his family to now you go to before he passed away, you could see some of you.
00:09:42.072 --> 00:09:45.268
If you guys don't know who Bob Marley is, you must be living under a rock.
00:09:45.268 --> 00:09:56.346
But what if you, when you go and see his concerts, there are thousands of people there to witness this man perform.
00:09:56.346 --> 00:10:06.471
If you don't show up, if you don't have, if you don't really go for it and show up, these opportunities will not be present to you.
00:10:06.471 --> 00:10:08.832
These opportunities will not be present to you.
00:10:08.832 --> 00:10:18.076
So you have to take into account that these things will not happen if you just don't take action and try and share that gift.
00:10:19.135 --> 00:10:22.376
Number three personal growth and self-discovery.
00:10:22.376 --> 00:10:30.519
So the more you use your talents, the more you develop, the more you grow, the more you practice.
00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:32.820
Fail, succeed, fail, succeed.
00:10:32.820 --> 00:10:34.679
You won't get there.
00:10:34.679 --> 00:10:44.062
If you don't keep, if you don't, if you don't, you won't grow, you won't know who you are, you won't learn things about yourself, you won't know.
00:10:44.062 --> 00:10:49.224
Ok, if I get to here, well, if I get stuck here, what do I do?
00:10:49.224 --> 00:10:52.625
I got to go, I got to keep pushing or do I stop?
00:10:52.625 --> 00:10:58.106
These things will not happen to you if you do not share your talent with the world.
00:10:58.106 --> 00:11:02.548
Number four your gifts solves problems for someone else.
00:11:03.587 --> 00:11:06.688
What if you are born to be a doctor?
00:11:06.688 --> 00:11:14.532
What if your talent is to talk to people?
00:11:14.532 --> 00:11:15.914
What if you're born to be a motivational speaker?
00:11:15.914 --> 00:11:17.076
What if you're born to be anything?
00:11:17.076 --> 00:11:25.860
It could be even helping people with tax situations, helping women find, like how many Jenny Craig, I think, years ago.
00:11:25.860 --> 00:11:31.130
I don't know if you guys remember Jenny Craig she had that weight loss program, fitness.
00:11:31.130 --> 00:11:39.955
She inspired people to lose weight and you know, the funny thing now is, these days that's not as promoted anymore.
00:11:39.955 --> 00:11:41.316
You don't see it as much.
00:11:41.316 --> 00:11:51.899
Maybe there is and I don't see it, but you just don't see it anymore because we are being glued with our phones of just nonsense that does nothing for us.
00:11:51.899 --> 00:11:53.801
It really just does not.
00:11:53.801 --> 00:12:08.527
And it's sad that we live in a world today not to just go off on a tangent, but I'm going to get back we live in a world today where, if you look at social media social media, what they're promoting women.
00:12:09.187 --> 00:12:12.408
Instagram is really big for this and it's sad.
00:12:12.408 --> 00:12:24.717
Look at OnlyFans these are talented, talentless women that are on these applications, on these apps, and what are they doing?
00:12:24.717 --> 00:12:26.542
Shaking their booty doing sexual things for money.
00:12:26.542 --> 00:12:27.910
That's not talent.
00:12:27.910 --> 00:12:30.176
That is not talent.
00:12:30.176 --> 00:12:31.799
So don't get it mistaken, folks.
00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:46.414
When you see these things, I don't know, I had to go one day I don't really be on Instagram as much I had to go one day and look at my Instagram, go to the I think it's the for you page or whatever it is on Instagram and looked to see.
00:12:46.414 --> 00:12:54.096
And I had to see, like you know, what I need to change the algorithm to see, and I had to see, like you know, what I need to change the algorithm.
00:12:54.096 --> 00:12:57.610
I think be like let me research LeBron James, nba, basketball or NFL or something like that to change the algorithm.
00:12:57.610 --> 00:12:59.212
Because it is sad.
00:12:59.212 --> 00:12:59.914
What do you see?
00:12:59.914 --> 00:13:04.123
And these are not things that solves problems for people.
00:13:04.123 --> 00:13:09.096
These are things that put people more in a situation they shouldn't be in.
00:13:10.336 --> 00:13:15.965
There's that OnlyFans girl who said she made $43 million off OnlyFans.
00:13:15.965 --> 00:13:17.245
That is sad.
00:13:17.245 --> 00:13:19.254
That is sad where we live.
00:13:19.254 --> 00:13:23.100
And one person, I think, gave her $3 or $5 million or something like that.
00:13:23.100 --> 00:13:27.049
Really, what could have $3 to $5 million done?
00:13:27.049 --> 00:13:33.711
Look at the United States, these veterans who go and fight for us, and when they come back, where are they?
00:13:34.354 --> 00:14:00.205
Sleeping under the bridge and these are the things that we in society, we have now a false illusion about, because we think we're being so sexualized, where everything is about sex and money, that we now, we're now our minds are distorted and thinking that, oh man, these women or sex or all this stuff that's going on.
00:14:00.205 --> 00:14:03.371
That's, it's a false illusion, it's not true.
00:14:03.371 --> 00:14:06.778
So that's think about it this way.
00:14:06.778 --> 00:14:26.706
When you are, let's say, if you have a social media, you happen to see a woman, you're scrolling a woman, shaking her, but whatever scroll pass, figure out a way to change your algorithm, because all that's do is leaving you in, is bringing you to a darker hole, is creating an illusion.
00:14:26.706 --> 00:14:28.392
That is not real.
00:14:28.392 --> 00:14:36.375
Social media, for the most, is not real, because a lot of things you see on social media is not true.
00:14:36.375 --> 00:14:45.235
Please don't go look on social media for, I guess, gratification, to feel good about yourself.
00:14:45.235 --> 00:14:46.317
That's the wrong place.
00:14:46.937 --> 00:14:49.942
Legacy is built through contribution.
00:14:49.942 --> 00:14:57.934
Number five your legacy will be built through what you contribute to this world.
00:14:57.934 --> 00:15:04.658
You know the funny thing, and I just want to come up with a tangent about it it could happen good and it could happen bad.
00:15:04.658 --> 00:15:11.318
Again, going back to women who are in pornography, who are in OnlyFans and all this stuff.
00:15:11.318 --> 00:15:17.275
That's their contributor to the world and what you put on the internet lives forever.
00:15:17.275 --> 00:15:20.822
But think about the impact.
00:15:20.822 --> 00:15:32.625
Bob Marley, michael Jackson, aretha Franklin, prince, even Chad Bozeman the short amount of time he lived on this planet he passed away.
00:15:32.625 --> 00:15:38.682
These are the contribute You're going to always remember of these people, the impact they made on this world.
00:15:38.682 --> 00:15:40.754
That's what you're going to remember.
00:15:40.754 --> 00:15:42.640
That's going to be their legacy.
00:15:42.640 --> 00:15:49.957
But in your case, you may not get to that point A prince or Michael Jackson or Michael Jordan get to.
00:15:49.957 --> 00:15:52.552
You may not get to that point in this world.
00:15:52.552 --> 00:15:54.376
Who can you impact?
00:15:54.376 --> 00:15:55.900
What legacy can you live?
00:15:56.722 --> 00:16:00.537
Who's to say a school can't be started with your name?
00:16:00.537 --> 00:16:02.221
Who's to say that?
00:16:02.221 --> 00:16:04.847
Who's to say a school can't be started?
00:16:04.847 --> 00:16:07.953
Who's to say a university can't be in your name?
00:16:07.953 --> 00:16:10.985
Who's to say any programs can't be on your name?
00:16:10.985 --> 00:16:15.594
Because of the impact in the talents you shared with this world?
00:16:16.279 --> 00:16:20.572
Think of Les Brown, think of I forgot the other guy's name Jim Rome.
00:16:20.572 --> 00:16:21.922
There's another guy.
00:16:21.922 --> 00:16:28.846
I forgot his name right now, but Jim Rome, les Brown, zig Ziglar these guys motivation.
00:16:28.846 --> 00:16:32.470
How many people listen to these guys?
00:16:32.470 --> 00:16:34.083
These guys are motivating.
00:16:34.083 --> 00:16:36.551
Their life change, eric Thomas.
00:16:36.551 --> 00:16:41.929
These guys have become motivational speakers and they help change people's minds.
00:16:41.929 --> 00:16:46.780
Tony Robbins I mean I don't listen to all, but my favorite is Les Brown and Jim Rohn.
00:16:46.780 --> 00:16:48.967
Those probably the only two I really listen to.
00:16:48.967 --> 00:16:50.561
But I'm just giving you names of people.
00:16:50.561 --> 00:16:52.806
Other people may feel as different, right?
00:16:52.806 --> 00:16:59.485
So if you don't share your talent, how can you leave a legacy in this world?
00:16:59.485 --> 00:17:01.510
You have to make that decision.
00:17:02.072 --> 00:17:02.793
Solutions, right.
00:17:02.793 --> 00:17:05.324
What are five solutions?
00:17:05.324 --> 00:17:07.701
Okay, you say, say I'm here, well, I share my talents.
00:17:07.701 --> 00:17:09.326
What are the five solutions?
00:17:09.326 --> 00:17:13.540
Well, the five solutions will start small and take imperfect action.
00:17:13.540 --> 00:17:15.244
Fail, fail, fail and fail.
00:17:15.244 --> 00:17:17.750
It's progress over perfection.
00:17:17.750 --> 00:17:19.693
That's where the world don't.
00:17:19.693 --> 00:17:25.689
The world will tell you you take action and you fail, but do you do?
00:17:25.689 --> 00:17:28.673
Just keep like this youtube?
00:17:28.673 --> 00:17:30.682
I mean, I'm sorry, this um podcast.
00:17:30.682 --> 00:17:36.181
I know it's not the most perfect, I don't have the room and I don't have me have the lighting.
00:17:36.181 --> 00:17:41.613
All I have is my computer and my mic and you may hear my ac running at times.
00:17:41.613 --> 00:17:44.886
At the end of the day, progress over perfection.
00:17:44.886 --> 00:17:46.971
Think, think of it for you.
00:17:46.971 --> 00:17:48.493
Let's say it's cooking.
00:17:48.493 --> 00:17:49.316
What was?
00:17:49.316 --> 00:17:51.380
What is it that you were learning a new language or something?
00:17:51.380 --> 00:17:55.971
What is it that you would like to do that scares you.
00:17:55.971 --> 00:17:59.786
Which leads me to number two solution.
00:18:00.586 --> 00:18:03.733
Reframe fear as part of the process.
00:18:03.733 --> 00:18:06.846
Fear is going to be part of the process.
00:18:06.846 --> 00:18:10.323
You're going to be scared in that fear.
00:18:10.323 --> 00:18:14.989
Fear is not real, fear is just a way.
00:18:14.989 --> 00:18:17.031
It's in your mind, it is.
00:18:17.833 --> 00:18:22.983
I remember when I was little I had my dad.
00:18:22.983 --> 00:18:28.911
At the time my dad was working two jobs and one night my parents were not together.
00:18:28.911 --> 00:18:32.315
So when I was young I had to.
00:18:32.315 --> 00:18:33.516
Basically I stayed at home.
00:18:33.516 --> 00:18:38.892
I think I was about six or seven and that's the suck thing about it Right, six or seven years old.
00:18:38.892 --> 00:18:43.711
So my dad, I was staying with my dad for the weekend, so I had to wait for my mom to come pick me up.
00:18:43.711 --> 00:18:54.517
So my dad left me in the house and he and he left and he had to go to work because you got to provide right and we had to wait on mom because my mom wasn't going to be waiting that long.
00:18:54.517 --> 00:19:01.708
The funny thing was I remember Freddy Cougar came on TV and man with claws and stuff.
00:19:01.708 --> 00:19:06.272
I was so scared Like I was scared out of my mind.
00:19:06.272 --> 00:19:12.087
You know, as I got older I said what is there to be afraid of Freddy Cooke.
00:19:12.087 --> 00:19:13.593
He's not real.
00:19:13.593 --> 00:19:15.116
There's no.
00:19:15.116 --> 00:19:20.497
There's nobody running around here with claws in their hand and, you know, scaring people in their dreams.
00:19:20.497 --> 00:19:23.003
It's all in your mind, it's all there.
00:19:23.003 --> 00:19:24.926
That's what fear is.
00:19:25.888 --> 00:19:28.614
Number three focus on helping, not impressing.
00:19:28.614 --> 00:19:31.707
That's what this is the problem with social media today.
00:19:31.707 --> 00:19:32.851
This is the world we live in.
00:19:32.851 --> 00:19:34.702
We are so focused on.
00:19:34.702 --> 00:19:38.251
Instead of helping each other, we are so focused on impressing.
00:19:38.251 --> 00:19:48.885
Let me see, let me go go get a car that I barely can afford, knowing I ain't making that much money, but I want to impress others instead of helping.
00:19:50.048 --> 00:19:50.328
Youtube.
00:19:50.328 --> 00:19:51.050
I like YouTube.
00:19:51.050 --> 00:20:06.575
That's probably one of the few platforms on social when it comes to social media, but my gripe, I guess, for YouTube is there's too many people on there selling courses, selling affiliate link, and they're giving you a little bit of the information.
00:20:06.575 --> 00:20:15.261
So my goal now is on YouTube is, for me, starting a YouTube channel is to disperse as much information as I can.
00:20:15.261 --> 00:20:17.846
I'm looking for reciprocity.
00:20:17.846 --> 00:20:18.669
Is that what he said?
00:20:18.669 --> 00:20:19.911
I'm not.
00:20:19.911 --> 00:20:25.711
I don't want to do something, because everything is not always about money, like right now.
00:20:26.092 --> 00:20:30.690
If I ask you hey, please subscribe to the podcast, leave a review, that's all right.
00:20:30.690 --> 00:20:31.613
Hey, leave a review.
00:20:31.613 --> 00:20:32.320
Let me know.
00:20:32.320 --> 00:20:34.204
What could I do to get better.
00:20:34.204 --> 00:20:39.863
What can I do to grow a community of people, like-minded people?
00:20:39.863 --> 00:20:46.493
I'm still learning how to do that and for me, that's an aspect of this.
00:20:46.493 --> 00:20:54.229
I want to be able to inspire people and also hold myself accountable, so it works both ways.
00:20:54.229 --> 00:20:56.353
I help you, inspire myself.
00:20:56.373 --> 00:20:58.443
So if I say I need a will and trust, guess what?
00:20:58.443 --> 00:21:03.641
Last week's podcast episode I talked or maybe it was two podcasts ago.
00:21:03.641 --> 00:21:05.782
I talked about having a will and trust.
00:21:05.782 --> 00:21:07.744
And guess what I'm doing.
00:21:07.744 --> 00:21:11.969
I set a goal hey, this date I'm going to get my will and trust done.
00:21:11.969 --> 00:21:14.510
I already have a will, but I need to update it.
00:21:14.510 --> 00:21:16.073
But I always needed a trust.
