00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.560
There are a lot of things you can go wrong in launching something like this.

2
00:00:02.560 --> 00:00:04.160
You have half of a million people.

3
00:00:04.160 --> 00:00:06.960
So you can look in a skyscraper look all the way around Baltimore and be like,

4
00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:10.000
more than everyone I can see with my eyes is registered for this event.

5
00:00:16.240 --> 00:00:20.480
I've been prepping for the presentation for two weeks all day every day.

6
00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:24.800
I will not be the person who did not prepare and I will do that workout in respect for everyone else's attention.

7
00:00:24.880 --> 00:00:29.280
Offers was a meta example, meaning the book and the course and everything that was

8
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:32.560
was purposely intended to be an offer so good, people would feel stupid saying now.

9
00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:35.600
The book itself was an example of the concept of the book.

10
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:40.800
So 100 of our leads is different in that I want the example for the book not to be around the

11
00:00:40.800 --> 00:00:45.120
offer but around how we promote the book about how we got leads, which is why this event

12
00:00:45.120 --> 00:00:48.000
was so important to use all the different advertising methods to promote the book.

13
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:52.480
Like I could have just made a post to my audience about the book and sold plenty of copies

14
00:00:52.480 --> 00:00:56.080
and not needed to do warm outreach or do affiliates or do paid ads.

15
00:00:56.080 --> 00:00:57.040
What's the point of this meeting?

16
00:00:57.040 --> 00:00:58.400
What problem are we solving?

17
00:00:58.400 --> 00:01:01.520
The most expensive cost in almost all companies is meetings.

18
00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:04.640
That was supposed to be an hour long meeting and we got off in 28 minutes.

19
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:05.600
What problem are we solving?

20
00:01:05.600 --> 00:01:07.200
The second is who's required to solve it.

21
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:10.160
If we know what the decision is, then it's like, I'm not needed to see it.

22
00:01:10.160 --> 00:01:11.120
It'll be on Shopify.

23
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:14.800
Reason we didn't on Shopify was because there's a bunch of issues with Amazon for launching.

24
00:01:14.800 --> 00:01:18.160
But the main one was that they wouldn't accept the amount of books that we thought we would sell.

25
00:01:18.160 --> 00:01:22.160
Amazon limits any new book, usually to 5,000 or 10,000 heartbecks.

26
00:01:22.160 --> 00:01:25.680
And we had a pretty strong suspicion that we were going to sell a lot more than that.

27
00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:30.400
So for that reason, we basically fronted all the money, did all the prints because we're self-published.

28
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:32.320
So we're housing it, we're shipping it, we're we're housing it.

29
00:01:32.320 --> 00:01:34.640
I don't like anyone owning my stuff.

30
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:37.600
And so whenever you publish a book, you actually sell the rights to your content.

31
00:01:37.600 --> 00:01:40.240
Kind of like musicians where they sell their music to a label.

32
00:01:40.240 --> 00:01:41.120
Same concept.

33
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:42.960
For me to like give you guys like a free chapter.

34
00:01:42.960 --> 00:01:45.360
So the fact that offers was $1.99.

35
00:01:45.360 --> 00:01:47.920
Those are all things that a normal publisher wouldn't want me to do,

36
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:49.120
because that's where they would make their money.

37
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:52.320
I want that every person there to watch this presentation would be like,

38
00:01:52.320 --> 00:01:53.440
I need to fucking work harder.

39
00:01:53.440 --> 00:01:55.600
Like if that's like the deepest takeaway from this whole thing,

40
00:01:55.600 --> 00:01:57.280
then like I can die pretty happy.

41
00:01:57.280 --> 00:01:59.440
I mean most people spend their entire lives not being able to like,

42
00:01:59.440 --> 00:02:00.800
influence 500,000 people.

43
00:02:00.800 --> 00:02:02.160
And so like it's not lost, doesn't it?

44
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:06.160
Straight to the cookie now?

45
00:02:08.640 --> 00:02:09.600
My birthday, fuck it.

46
00:02:10.160 --> 00:02:11.360
Yeah, good morning.

47
00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:12.400
Thank you, appreciate it.

48
00:02:13.200 --> 00:02:15.520
Trevor is probably the closest thing to a brother to me.

49
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:17.040
Honestly, we co-wrote the books.

50
00:02:17.040 --> 00:02:18.880
I get a disproportionate amount of credit.

51
00:02:18.880 --> 00:02:23.040
But Trevor has definitely been the one that has helped me beat up every single idea.

52
00:02:23.040 --> 00:02:25.520
He's been really involved in my life for a long time now,

53
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:27.920
and I hope we can grow old and crotchet together.

54
00:02:27.920 --> 00:02:30.400
Welcome everyone to my book launch event.

55
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:32.000
I'm so pumped to have you guys here.

56
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:36.800
I promise I have spent a very long time to compress days and weeks and months.

57
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:38.080
Kind of like a stand-up routine.

58
00:02:38.160 --> 00:02:40.320
A state of routine that's 60 minutes has taken

59
00:02:40.320 --> 00:02:43.840
nine months to perfect like each 30 seconds bit

60
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:45.840
that's shrunk together, created an hour.

61
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:47.520
And so it's kind of the same way with this presentation,

62
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:51.040
is that like it's gazillions of hours compressed into that.

63
00:02:51.040 --> 00:02:52.720
And that's why hopefully the value per second

64
00:02:52.720 --> 00:02:54.480
will just be like incredibly high.

65
00:02:54.480 --> 00:02:57.280
For my first presentations, it was just like a few words

66
00:02:57.280 --> 00:02:59.680
and then I would talk at the slide over time.

67
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:02.240
And then I started adding more like bullets and text to slide.

68
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:04.080
And then I watched this presentation actually change my life.

69
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:06.400
It's a 15-minute TED talk, it was called like death by PowerPoint.

70
00:03:06.480 --> 00:03:09.200
It actually like forever changed how I made presentations,

71
00:03:09.200 --> 00:03:11.280
which is like one idea per slide.

72
00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:14.160
But then I got from the marketing and sales world

73
00:03:14.160 --> 00:03:17.040
to pair the idea with a visual.

74
00:03:17.040 --> 00:03:18.320
Yeah, I just wanted to work.

75
00:03:18.320 --> 00:03:20.960
That's all I want from my birth is that all the tech works.

76
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:21.920
That's it.

77
00:03:21.920 --> 00:03:24.480
I just want the links to work, I want the page to work,

78
00:03:24.480 --> 00:03:25.760
I want the processing to work.

79
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:31.920
There's a huge amount of like Aussies and New Zealanders

80
00:03:31.920 --> 00:03:35.040
who are staying up as like entrepreneur parties.

81
00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:35.840
So cool.

82
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:36.560
Yeah, I know.

83
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:38.480
So I've got a bunch of guys who have like, you know,

84
00:03:38.480 --> 00:03:41.680
1,000, 2,000 person communities that are helping each other

85
00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:42.880
up for the event.

86
00:03:45.040 --> 00:03:46.560
Let's see what we got going on.

87
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:47.920
Pre-set up for tomorrow.

88
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:50.000
Check this out.

89
00:03:51.600 --> 00:03:53.520
This is the 360.

90
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:58.720
When I drop the offer, people probably lose their minds.

91
00:03:58.720 --> 00:04:01.360
I'll have stacked it for like 17 minutes.

92
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:02.960
I just want to show the reaction.

93
00:04:03.040 --> 00:04:05.920
So the stack is a direct sales tactic

94
00:04:05.920 --> 00:04:09.200
that has been proven so many times across so many industries

95
00:04:09.200 --> 00:04:10.160
that it is effective.

96
00:04:10.160 --> 00:04:12.960
The goal for this presentation was to be remembered.

97
00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:16.240
And so if I wanted someone to have an emotional experience

98
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:17.360
going through this,

99
00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:20.560
then I have to subvert the audience in a way.

100
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:23.600
I think that the stack accomplished that.

101
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:24.560
Basically making a movie.

102
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:25.760
Yeah, I'm basically exactly right.

103
00:04:27.440 --> 00:04:27.920
All right.

104
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:28.720
Well, let's see.

105
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:29.440
Walking on.

106
00:04:33.840 --> 00:04:37.520
What are the things that can go wrong right now?

107
00:04:37.520 --> 00:04:40.000
Believe me, go wrong is what we can't control.

108
00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:42.000
Okay. Yeah, just like Zoom in general.

109
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:42.240
All right.

110
00:04:44.400 --> 00:04:46.480
Tomorrow is the big day.

111
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:47.600
Yeah, tomorrow is the big day.

112
00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:48.560
Today is my birthday.

113
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:50.880
Honestly, I'm just excited for you guys to tear into it.

114
00:04:50.880 --> 00:04:51.840
It's not even the event.

115
00:04:51.840 --> 00:04:53.520
I'm excited for the post that happened.

116
00:04:53.520 --> 00:04:55.760
One day, two days, three days, four days later

117
00:04:55.760 --> 00:04:57.840
after people have consumed, you know, read the book,

118
00:04:57.840 --> 00:04:59.680
cover to cover and read it a second time.

119
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:00.800
I'm sorry, going through the course.

120
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:01.760
Listen to the audio book.

121
00:05:01.760 --> 00:05:02.880
That's what I'm more excited about.

122
00:05:02.880 --> 00:05:04.720
But tomorrow is the first step to that.

123
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:06.080
And I'll see you then.

124
00:05:10.640 --> 00:05:11.680
How many check in we have?

125
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:13.280
People over 100,000 in check-in

126
00:05:13.280 --> 00:05:14.560
and currently on the feeds.

127
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:15.760
Except for you.

128
00:05:15.760 --> 00:05:16.800
Oh, I'm ready.

129
00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:18.640
Damn right, you off.

130
00:05:18.640 --> 00:05:20.960
Two, Nigeria, Bulgaria,

131
00:05:20.960 --> 00:05:22.160
Philly, Pakistan.

132
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:23.680
Super cool.

133
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:24.480
They're coming in.

134
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:25.440
International, baby.

135
00:05:26.640 --> 00:05:27.360
Round the world.

136
00:05:28.320 --> 00:05:29.680
So some of those people, by the way,

137
00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:30.720
would you ask if they know what they're saying?

138
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:31.200
They know what they're saying.

139
00:05:31.200 --> 00:05:32.240
They know what they're saying.

140
00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:33.120
Make sure it's excellent.

141
00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:34.560
It's all going to be like right now.

142
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:36.400
Because we're going to have like a good day.

143
00:05:36.400 --> 00:05:37.440
We want to zero, bro.

144
00:05:37.440 --> 00:05:39.520
So the no-strip said be one of zero.

145
00:05:39.520 --> 00:05:40.960
For the last however many months,

146
00:05:40.960 --> 00:05:43.600
our team has used one of one content

147
00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:45.280
as kind of our concept, which is

148
00:05:45.280 --> 00:05:46.880
you only want to say things that only you can say

149
00:05:46.880 --> 00:05:48.160
and show things only you can show.

150
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:50.880
Then as the team started to find out all the things

151
00:05:50.880 --> 00:05:52.880
that we're going to be releasing and giving away

152
00:05:52.880 --> 00:05:54.640
and doing what no one else would do,

153
00:05:54.640 --> 00:05:56.000
the team said in a chat like,

154
00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:57.120
dude, this isn't even one of one.

155
00:05:57.120 --> 00:05:58.080
This is one of zero.

156
00:05:58.080 --> 00:05:59.520
What are you doing that no one would do?

157
00:05:59.520 --> 00:06:01.840
And I think that raises the bar a lot more.

158
00:06:01.840 --> 00:06:03.440
I'm scared by that bar,

159
00:06:03.440 --> 00:06:06.080
but I like that bar as an ideal to strive towards.

160
00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:08.640
We're at 10 minutes.

161
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:11.360
You ready?

162
00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:12.320
You're going to be a run.

163
00:06:12.320 --> 00:06:14.400
Twist and turns on this roller coaster.

164
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:16.720
Laila's so worried.

165
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:18.000
She's like, wait, you changed something?

166
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:18.720
That's like, oh yeah.

167
00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:20.960
Now I'm excited to see the reactions.

168
00:06:20.960 --> 00:06:23.600
Because there's going to be 15 minutes of suspense

169
00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:25.840
where they're like, is he going to sell something right now?

170
00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:28.880
The good news is, I have done this before.

171
00:06:28.880 --> 00:06:31.040
A lot of times, a lot of times.

172
00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:33.040
I know how much work I put into it.

173
00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:34.560
When you're in front of the crowd,

174
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:37.360
the only person's confidence who matters is yours.

175
00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:39.440
There are men of talent and men of preparation

176
00:06:39.440 --> 00:06:40.560
for it to be the latter.

177
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:43.200
So a little diviner that as soon as I stepped on stage,

178
00:06:43.200 --> 00:06:46.800
like three massive tech issues of break behind the scenes

179
00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:50.160
based on the sheer volume of clicks that we're going

180
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:51.600
at the same time, the same thing.

181
00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:53.440
Let's get some leads.

182
00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:56.320
Is everything running smooth?

183
00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:03.360
I think a lot of you have any issues.

184
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:05.120
With a low-pride rate, it's kind of the end.

185
00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:06.880
It's a link somewhere.

186
00:07:06.880 --> 00:07:10.160
We had 562,000 link clicks

187
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:11.840
in a matter of like 60 seconds.

188
00:07:11.840 --> 00:07:13.200
Whenever you have something like that,

189
00:07:13.200 --> 00:07:14.640
it's going to put stress on systems

190
00:07:14.640 --> 00:07:16.400
that it's very hard to test for.

191
00:07:16.400 --> 00:07:18.240
You can run simulators, which we had,

192
00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:20.000
and we still had more people

193
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:21.360
than the infrastructure could handle.

194
00:07:21.440 --> 00:07:22.640
I would send them to YouTube.

195
00:07:22.640 --> 00:07:24.800
So here's a 140,000 people

196
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:26.400
or so we're not able to get in.

197
00:07:26.400 --> 00:07:27.840
The team pivoted on the fly

198
00:07:27.840 --> 00:07:28.960
and provided the YouTube link

199
00:07:28.960 --> 00:07:30.400
and we had another 40 or 50,000 people

200
00:07:30.400 --> 00:07:31.760
who made it over on that side.

201
00:07:31.760 --> 00:07:34.000
People can talk on their mics in the Zoom room.

202
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:35.680
Yeah, that's what I've been telling you.

203
00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:37.520
The second thing was that there were some Zoom rooms

204
00:07:37.520 --> 00:07:39.040
that the master Zoom thing

205
00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:40.080
wasn't set up the right way

206
00:07:40.080 --> 00:07:41.840
so that they could unmute themselves

207
00:07:41.840 --> 00:07:43.680
rather than webinar presenter format.

208
00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:46.000
Now, we ended up quickly fixing that.

209
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:48.400
Well, YouTube live is voting for people now.

210
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:50.720
The YouTube live stream ended up

211
00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:52.000
being three minutes delayed

212
00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:53.760
and those were very three important minutes

213
00:07:53.760 --> 00:07:55.520
during the entire launch event.

214
00:07:55.520 --> 00:07:58.720
And so we were able to save 40,000 people on YouTube.

215
00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:00.800
But during that first five or so minutes,

216
00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:02.720
there was a lot of hustle and bustle trying to figure out

217
00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:04.080
what we were going to do to house

218
00:08:04.080 --> 00:08:05.440
literally a city of people.

219
00:08:05.440 --> 00:08:06.640
So you're going to get lead mag and mastery.

220
00:08:06.640 --> 00:08:08.080
You're going to get the first five flying firmware.

221
00:08:08.080 --> 00:08:08.880
You're going to get the most immediate

222
00:08:08.880 --> 00:08:10.160
consummated to build a brand you want.

223
00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:11.840
You can get the cold outreach playbook.

224
00:08:11.840 --> 00:08:13.360
You're going to get the paydads playbook.

225
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:14.640
You're going to have the referral playbook

226
00:08:14.640 --> 00:08:16.160
and you're going to get the affiliate playbook

227
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:18.640
and the zero to $100 million scaling roadmap

228
00:08:18.640 --> 00:08:20.080
from someone who's actually been there.

229
00:08:20.080 --> 00:08:21.840
Total value 12.76.

230
00:08:21.840 --> 00:08:23.440
I could see the comments the whole time.

231
00:08:23.440 --> 00:08:24.960
And I say this with absolute confidence.

232
00:08:24.960 --> 00:08:26.880
I will bet that you cannot see

233
00:08:26.880 --> 00:08:29.040
that I can see the comments in how I was presenting.

234
00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:30.760
How much is double your lead flow worth?

235
00:08:30.760 --> 00:08:34.600
An extra 10,000 a year, an extra 50,000 a year,

236
00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:37.200
an extra 100,000 a year, an extra million dollars a year?

237
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:41.400
I knew that everyone would turn on me for a brief moment.

238
00:08:41.400 --> 00:08:42.600
All I could think is like,

239
00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:44.800
this is going exactly how I want it.

240
00:08:44.800 --> 00:08:46.680
I'm not going to ask for 12,000 to 76,

241
00:08:46.680 --> 00:08:49.480
even though it would be totally reasonable and a bargain.

242
00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:52.200
I'm not going to ask for $4,997.

243
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:54.760
I'm not even going to ask for $2,997.

244
00:08:54.760 --> 00:08:55.760
I'm going to give you access to everything

245
00:08:55.760 --> 00:08:59.280
we talked about today for a single payment of.

246
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:07.400
Taking the extra four seconds, five seconds.

247
00:09:07.400 --> 00:09:09.800
When the world is watching, I wanted to sit in it

248
00:09:09.800 --> 00:09:12.920
and just hold and just like kind of enjoy the moment.

249
00:09:12.920 --> 00:09:14.120
A single payment of.

250
00:09:15.680 --> 00:09:17.400
I know what they don't know.

251
00:09:17.400 --> 00:09:19.040
And I believe that that's how some

252
00:09:19.040 --> 00:09:21.280
of the best sales presentations are supposed to be.

253
00:09:21.280 --> 00:09:25.440
I went from villain to hero in 10 seconds.

254
00:09:27.520 --> 00:09:28.360
It's free.

255
00:09:32.600 --> 00:09:33.920
I love you guys.

256
00:09:33.920 --> 00:09:34.760
Okay.

257
00:09:38.640 --> 00:09:40.280
We're already almost halfway out at it.

258
00:09:40.280 --> 00:09:41.120
Okay.

259
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:41.960
Good.

260
00:09:42.160 --> 00:09:43.160
Nice, right?

261
00:09:43.160 --> 00:09:44.800
Ooh, nice.

262
00:09:44.800 --> 00:09:46.160
You did print that.

263
00:09:46.160 --> 00:09:47.000
Thanks.

264
00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:47.840
You're welcome.

265
00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:50.640
I appreciate it.

266
00:09:50.640 --> 00:09:53.240
There were some dark days in the middle of the stack there.

267
00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:54.600
You gotta touch the bottom of the pool.

268
00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:55.680
That's what makes it memorable.

269
00:09:55.680 --> 00:09:58.040
Despite all the heat that I was getting,

270
00:09:58.040 --> 00:10:00.720
I knew the rubber band was going to snap back.

271
00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:03.640
The moment they saw the truth, they just had to wait.

272
00:10:03.640 --> 00:10:04.640
Roll across your eye.

273
00:10:04.640 --> 00:10:06.120
You know what I'm looking at?

274
00:10:06.120 --> 00:10:07.280
You don't even know.

275
00:10:07.280 --> 00:10:08.120
You have no idea.

276
00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:09.440
It's like I was so nauseous.

277
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:11.840
I think I am going to throw up.

278
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:14.200
I think that more people trust us now

279
00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:17.840
to continue to keep our promises in a world that breaks them.

280
00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:19.560
And more people believe us when we say

281
00:10:19.560 --> 00:10:20.960
we are a long term focused

282
00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:25.280
because we didn't take the $50 million payday, right?

283
00:10:25.280 --> 00:10:26.120
There was one comment.

284
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:27.200
It was actually my favorite comment

285
00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:28.600
on all the ones that I saw.

286
00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:29.520
You could have made bank,

287
00:10:29.520 --> 00:10:31.320
but you chose to make history.

288
00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:33.280
And I thought that was like,

289
00:10:33.280 --> 00:10:36.000
that was the fucking point, like in a statement.

290
00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:37.240
That was the point.

291
00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:39.920
Good shot.

292
00:10:39.920 --> 00:10:41.320
That was just only two years of our lives.

293
00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:43.280
Just about 100,000 books sold the first day.

294
00:10:43.280 --> 00:10:46.520
So offers is sold just under 500,000 copies.

295
00:10:46.520 --> 00:10:49.520
Over two years to sell 100,000 in a day was pretty cool

296
00:10:49.520 --> 00:10:52.920
to sell 20% of what offers is sold to big shoes to fill.

297
00:10:52.920 --> 00:10:54.000
But I actually think that leads

298
00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:55.600
with some more copies than offers does.

299
00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:57.360
And I think that's because more people perceive

300
00:10:57.360 --> 00:10:58.880
they have the problem of not having leads

301
00:10:58.880 --> 00:11:00.000
than not having it off.

302
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:02.120
The aftermath, we're not even done the first week

303
00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:02.960
as I'm reporting this.

304
00:11:02.960 --> 00:11:05.680
But my name was trending on all of Twitter.

305
00:11:05.680 --> 00:11:08.960
The leads audiobook is seven on all of Amazon.

306
00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:13.400
We went from 50 to 26 on all podcasts.

307
00:11:13.400 --> 00:11:14.920
We're number one in entrepreneurship.

308
00:11:14.920 --> 00:11:16.280
We're number two in business.

309
00:11:16.280 --> 00:11:19.160
Like I'm actually like emotional about it.

310
00:11:19.160 --> 00:11:21.480
Something that has never been done before.

311
00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:25.600
I actually truly believe that what he just did

312
00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:29.160
with this launch is going to just have shock waves.

313
00:11:29.160 --> 00:11:30.960
Do you agree with people that are saying

314
00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:32.760
that you changed the industry?

315
00:11:33.760 --> 00:11:36.520
If we're defining change the industry as many people

316
00:11:36.520 --> 00:11:38.920
act differently in terms of how they do business afterwards,

317
00:11:38.920 --> 00:11:40.240
then I would say yes.

318
00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:42.560
Not everyone, but certainly some people will.

319
00:11:42.560 --> 00:11:44.680
The people who have longer time horizons

320
00:11:44.680 --> 00:11:47.440
who want to build bigger, more lasting businesses for sure.

321
00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:50.480
A brand is based on the associations that people make.

322
00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:53.240
I knew that having a massive historic event

323
00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:55.600
and having the thing still be more valuable

324
00:11:55.600 --> 00:11:57.920
in everyone else's and free was something

325
00:11:57.920 --> 00:12:00.080
that I wanted to associate myself with.

326
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:03.400
But if you measure on a one-year time horizon,

327
00:12:03.400 --> 00:12:04.840
then it will never make sense.

328
00:12:04.840 --> 00:12:05.840
This is cool.

329
00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:06.840
This is very cool.

330
00:12:06.840 --> 00:12:07.840
It's a lot of things there.

331
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:08.840
You deserve it.

332
00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:09.840
You're the better.

333
00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:10.840
You're the better.

334
00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:11.840
I just want to say thank you guys so much

335
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:12.840
for coming out.

336
00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:13.840
It means the world to me.

337
00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:14.840
It's one of those very small things

338
00:12:14.840 --> 00:12:17.840
that Trevor and I spent two years writing this book.

339
00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:18.840
I just want to say thank you.

340
00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:19.840
It means a lot to us.

341
00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:23.840
The end of the day I will die

342
00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:25.840
and on a long enough time horizon I will be forgotten.

343
00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:29.840
And the only thing that I can say that helped

344
00:12:29.840 --> 00:12:31.840
that might be eternal is skills and education

345
00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:33.840
that I can pass on to other people.

346
00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:35.840
Trevor used to tell me when I was going through

347
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:36.840
kind of like harder times with the edits

348
00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:38.840
because it was very tough to edit this book

349
00:12:38.840 --> 00:12:39.840
and write this book.

350
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:41.840
He said there's a 17-year-old who's going to sleep

00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:47.840
