That is Andrew Tate, self-proclaimed billionaire.
I'm already a billionaire.
And the most Googled man on the planet.
This is me, Mark Tilbury, a self-made multimillionaire,
traditional businessman, and investor
who leads a completely different life.
And here are 10 things Andrew Tate shared with me
on my podcast, Strike It Big,
that I wanna give my perspective on
as someone that has achieved wealth
in a completely different era.
If I carry on with the trajectory I'm carrying on,
they're gonna put me in jail because I'm too influential.
If they locked me up for some insane bulls**t, I didn't do it.
And if they say I killed myself, I didn't kill myself either.
It's all a f**king lie.
You could say this statement aged like a fine wine.
It's only a few days after he told me this,
he got arrested along with his brother, Tristan.
This is really split in the comments section.
Some people think he said this because he knew the authorities were closing in on him.
And other people believe the Matrix sent their agents because Tate has become too powerful.
Whatever you believe, it's certainly true that we live in a world where what's right
and what's wrong is determined by large tech companies
and algorithms, and that really frightens me.
People need to be exposed to both sides of a story
so they can decide for themselves what's actually true.
Andrew also talks about how these social media algorithms
are like echo chambers.
Every time you go on Facebook or YouTube,
you're being fed specific content from the algorithm
based on who the tech thinks you are.
It reinforces opinions people already have,
and sometimes drives them too far left
or too far right wing.
Is it really any wonder that we're more politically divided
than ever before in history?
In 2016, a company called Cambridge Analytica
worked for the Trump campaign and used their influence
and data to manipulate political views on Facebook.
I consider my content pretty clean,
certainly not as controversial as Andrew Tate.
And I even woke up one morning to find
that my Instagram account had been banned.
I couldn't believe it.
So do I think Andrew Tate is guilty?
The simple answer is, I don't know.
But what I do know is that the people that toss innocent
until proven guilty in the trash,
as soon as they don't like the person arrested or charged,
are the ones we should be worried about.
They are too manipulated by the echo chambers
and the new digital world we live in.
Just imagine you were falsely accused of a crime.
I bet you wouldn't like to be judged
before any evidence was actually revealed I truthfully believe that the universe is a very giving place and that if you actually really want something you can have it I had a mentor named Dave who taught me that entrepreneurship is all about creating value in other people lives and profits are the reward
for doing so. Everyone thinks they're trying, but not everyone is. I had to sacrifice weekend
parties, nice restaurants, and a lot of comfort when I was younger to get where I am today. On
days when the sales were poor, I actually slept in the shop because I didn't have enough money to
to buy gas for the drive home.
I remember waking up feeling groggy in my shop
with a blistering headache and getting to work
the moment my eyelids opened.
It's not easy, nothing meaningful ever is,
because if it was easy, you wouldn't value it.
Not everyone needs to be so intense,
but if you really want something,
you need to have laser focus
and be willing to sacrifice a lot of other things
in order to get it.
I started this YouTube channel on the belief
that anyone can become rich as long as they work hard
and follow the tried and tested principles
I teach online completely for free.
That's why I agree so strongly with Andrew on this point.
Female nature is if they find a man of high enough status
that they're happy for him to have multiple women.
Okay, so with this,
I understand that he's making an evolutionary point.
However, in modern day society,
I don't agree this is the best way for men to get ahead.
First off, I know that looking after one woman
is hard enough, let alone multiple.
But seriously guys, if you're hyper focused
on getting multiple girls,
you're wasting your precious energy
that could be used acquiring money and power.
I understand that Tate is saying
if you're already rich and powerful enough,
your lady will be happy for you to see other women.
But let's define happy.
Tate points to the fact that kings
have often had multiple women throughout history,
and it's something we shouldn't be opposed to
in the modern day.
However, there was a clear threat of violence
or even execution if a woman was to step out of line
back in the day.
This just doesn't really exist now
in a loving relationship, thankfully.
Therefore, we've got to actually ask ourselves,
what is keeping these multiple women happy?
And the truth is, it's money and status.
They don't care about you.
If they were offered all of your money and power
with a click of their fingers,
but the side effect was you drop dead
without any risk they'd get caught,
they'd probably do it in a heartbeat.
Why would they be loyal to you
when you're not loyal to them?
Now, if you're okay with this definition of happy,
then that's up to you.
but I know personally, it would disgust me.
There is something very special about monogamous relationships between men and women and having the right woman by your side will make you into the best most capable and powerful man you could ever be
By surrounding yourself with women
that just want power and status,
you're actually weakening your circle
and pushing away the high value females
that could actually add to your life.
If you're the type of person that always brags
and shows off status, then of course,
you're gonna get a lot of status seeking women.
I have a lovely wife and I couldn't be happier.
I definitely wouldn't have reached my level
of multimillionaire wealth without her by my side.
So I've got to say, Tate, I strongly disagree here.
I can never be poor.
My skillset, the people I know, my phone book,
my reliability, my reputation,
you could take all of my money today.
I'll be a millionaire again in two weeks.
Okay, so now the polar opposite.
I completely agree with this point.
The habits you build on the journey to wealth
are often as important as the wealth itself.
Along the way, you learn from mistakes,
learn skills and establish a reputation
that you carry throughout your life.
I'm a firm believer of investing in your education
and making mistakes when you're younger
as you have more time to recover from them.
I've hit rock bottom many times in my life.
In my 20s, my business plan was stolen
by one of my best and most trusted friends,
but every time I got up faster than the time before.
I've talked to so many millionaires that have told me
if they went broke, they could do it all over again
in under half the time.
Many would make sure they started investing sooner.
By the way, if you wanna get a free stock worth
all the way up to a thousand dollars from public.com
when you fund your account,
then I'll leave a link down below
so that you can pick that up.
I think a good life costs about a million a month.
Half a million a month is doable.
With this one, there's a lot more to it
than first meets the eye.
Money is like gasoline.
It's great, but only if you know where you're going.
There's many things in life
that having more money won't improve,
like learning languages,
building a healthy and strong body
and having meaningful relationships.
Even travel doesn't require nearly the amount of money
people think it does.
You should never sacrifice your health for money.
This is something I learned quite recently
after I had a traumatic fall down the stairs
and a near death experience.
While I was in the ambulance,
I started reflecting on my life
and how important my health actually is.
Without health, you have nothing
and you can't even enjoy the things you have now.
If you ask me, a good life is about balance.
Some people are so life poor all they have is money and others are poor but have rich lives I notice a huge jump in the quality of my life once I hit around 100K a year Any more than that and I barely saw a difference
but I'm just not much of a spender, never have been.
I'm quite happy with what I have
and prioritize my family and experiences,
but everyone's different.
I don't own anything.
There are cars.
A trust in Singapore may own a percentage
of a company in Dubai which may have access
to a car that I could borrow, but I don't own it.
and that's because if you own things, they come for you.
I agree.
And I think what Andrew's saying here
makes sense for someone with tons of money
and a lot to lose,
but not so much for the everyday person.
I've been lucky enough not to make too many enemies,
but I've had days when I've woken up
and went to the mailbox
only to find a letter from someone trying to sue me.
It seemed like once I had money,
there were more and more people
trying to take it from me, like vultures.
As I started making more money,
I realized that many of the things I owned
started to become liabilities.
So I think the old saying,
more money, more problems, hold some water.
But still, I've always been a big fan
of accumulating assets that produce cashflow,
and I'd rather own many things than nothing at all.
I get peace of mind owning an apple tree
that grows apples, if you catch my drift.
For the everyday person,
a limited company should offer enough protection.
This will just make sure
that if people try to get your money,
they could only get what was in that specific company,
not take away your personal property.
For most people, there's no need to dive into the world of shell companies and offshore accounts.
I believe in every point I make.
However, there are points I make in a deliberately aggressive fashion to upset people.
Yeah, I do that.
So with this, I see where Andrew's coming from.
We live in an attention economy, especially on social media,
where the ability to quickly grab people's attention in a competitive environment
is more important than ever.
I once watched a marketing documentary that said,
as people become louder and more outrageous
in order to get through the noise,
the only way to break through
is by being even louder and even more outrageous.
A lot of celebrities purposefully commit scandals
just to get the world talking about them,
maybe before a book or an album release.
Keep my wife's name out, you...
Tate understands this game very well.
I will not administer CPR unless you're a hot female.
This is the reality.
Which I think is the sole reason
and he has become the most Googled man on the planet.
When I got on TikTok, I needed to think of something
that would help me stand out and get noticed.
So I would wear silly wigs and play these different characters.
This helped me to scale to over 7 million followers on TikTok in under a year.
So while I think being unique and standing out is good,
I think there's other ways you can do it without having to start fights or attract negative attention.
This is what most people don't even understand about the crypto market is player versus player.
You can only sell it for $10 after buying it for a dollar because someone's buying it at $10.
Someone is out to lose.
Tate absolutely nailed this point.
that crypto is a zero sum game,
meaning that for you to make money,
someone else has to lose it.
Until you sell, it's just numbers on a computer screen.
Most of the coins out there are absolute scams
pumped by people that are out to make a quick buck.
Influencers regularly get emailed from these projects,
offering big amounts of money
to promote a shady coin or NFTs.
I always ignore these emails
because no amount of money is worth selling out my audience
or ruining my reputation.
My mentor once told me it can take a lifetime
to build a reputation but only a moment to destroy it So when Tate said that he can make billion in no time with a crypto coin but refuses to do it I find this commendable While I believe in investing a small percentage
of your net worth in Bitcoin and Ethereum,
I would steer clear from investing
in the thousands of random altcoins out there.
Speaking of crypto, I've been buying mine on Coinbase,
and if you use my link in the description,
you'll receive five pound once you sign up and make a trade.
Just make sure you store your crypto
off the exchange for maximum protection.
Tate says that clown world is over.
Because the last two years have been clown world.
Now the real world's back and it's hard to make money again.
And people who made big money on crypto altcoins
probably won't again for a fair while.
And to be honest, he's probably right.
2020 to 2021 saw a huge amount of easy money
pumped into the economy due to the pandemic.
But we're just now starting to suffer the hangover.
If there's one thing I know about money, it's this.
Money gained fast can be lost even faster,
but reputation lasts a lifetime.
So shame on all of those celebrities who were promoting altcoins and NFTs during the bull market In my opinion Andrew Tate integrity on this point is head and shoulders above those guys And that the problem As patriotism breaks down then the whole idea of paying tax just gets destroyed with it
And when a country is not prudent with its finances,
like Western nations aren't, it p***s you off.
I agree with Andrew here.
For a country to work well, people need to believe in it.
With the huge wealth gaps, wasted tax, and lawlessness,
I can see why he thinks the Western world is breaking down.
Democracy is hard.
Having one leader makes things a lot easier,
but it goes against so many
of our longstanding values in the West.
While I'm not quite as jaded as Andrew is,
I do see where he's coming from here.
When I was younger,
we really believed in and trusted the government.
I've always paid my employees and my taxes on time,
but I have to say my view of England and the Western world,
it's really started to shift in recent years.
I'm shifting.
Yeah, well that's-
I am shifting.
I stay here because I consider myself a strong patriot,
but it's not perfect.
There's so much money in the world.
To be too stupid to generate money,
I think is less than 5 of the population Then you have arrogant and lazy and these are the two most common You know what Andrew I agree If you were to put fleas in a jar they would easily jump out until you close the lid However once the lid has been closed for over three days and then you remove it
the fleas will never jump past the ceiling that was set for them. They have effectively been
trained by the system that they were subjected to. What's even more interesting is when these fleas
reproduce, their offspring will follow the same example as their parents and never escape the jar.
This applies to humans as well.
Most people go to work and in the evening
just chill out and take it easy,
a lot like their parents did before them.
Now, would I call this arrogance, laziness, or stupidity?
I don't think so.
I see them more as victims of the system
that need waking up.
Everyone has something they can teach you.
And once you've been woken up,
if you can't see that, then you're definitely arrogant.
This is the exact reason I interviewed Andrew Tate,
and I feel I got a lot from the conversation.
