Never in a million years did I think I would sit through a 2 hour+ episode of Tai Lopez. But this was refreshing and insightful. It’s nice to see this side of Lopez.

[@kosmonautofficial296]

This reminds me of some stories from his 67 steps back in the day. I actually thought those were pretty good and he would recommend a lot of good books

this side of Lopez is in most of his rants, like the 40 min to 1 hr + ones.

Tai helped changed my life. Back in 2018 I was nearly 30 had a failed business after a decade and nobody would hire me because I had worked for anyone since I was in high school. A friend sent me Tai Lopez's SMMA course the original one. Nothing to crazy but there was one video "How To Motivate Yourself Past Your Fears" that clicked the light bulb on. At that time I had moved back in with my parents and my life could have disappeared easily, fast forward 5 years I tripled my income, own my own home, I live in one of the best suburbia areas of the country. Its not the Lambo life and I was never interested in get rich quick but its a good life and it wouldn't have happened without Tai. His content and marketing tactics have always been controversial, all I can say is that I never would have got here without him and I definitely would never pursued SEO and digital marketing which is how I make living today had it not been for that course.

He's older now, so of course he's much better with words. Most people I know have far more interesting life stories than his. For example my mom. But in reality, no one wants to hear "sad" stories. Everyone wants to hear what they consider a success story. When Tai first came out all he spoke about was being broke and living on someone's couch, now all of sudden he's a farm boy living with Amish people. The dude was a fraud and is still a fraud.
