Yea... him telling people if you have a job your a loser is real "influential". Now there's a generation of struggling losers who all think they can be the "boss". If everybody is the "boss" then who's doing the work? Dame sounds smart to the NOT so smart...

[@whynotyou783]

@@100timessquare there’s no such thing as smart. Either you’re well educated or you’re not. I think in the field of business he is well educated. From the interview I don’t think he was calling workers losers, I think he was saying that shouldn’t be the end goal. The main goal in life at all times should always be to be self sufficient if possible. Once you allow someone to control your check, they can therefore control and dictate your day and your outcome. I assume everything you do right now is based on your job. What time you sleep, what food you eat(based on what you can afford), what car you drive, what time you wake up, when and where to go on vacation, etc.. that interview sparked independence for a lot of artists, sparked a lot of podcasts for our community, a lot of ppl doing real estate investments, buying land, pursuing their business passion that they feared pursuing prior.

Can you name a few things that he predicted/said before his time? Not saying that in a sarcastic way, Cuz ik Roc A Fella was ahead of it’s time in staying indie til you have leverage.

Being a city boy from the north, I was ready to assist any Americans from Nazis and was informed that the victims went into a basement type club a few yards away.

Back to my point, I wish Dame didn't have this perspective that EVERYBODY he's ever worked with basically conspired to shut him out for no reason at all. If you're the common denominator in 10s or even 100s of relationships that went wrong, it has to be you in some way or another.
