How old were you when you became a millionaire?
4
How do you know I'm a millionaire?
5
You look rich as hell.
6
25. How did you get rich?
7
I own one of the biggest soap companies in America.
8
And what was the most amount of money you made a single year?

A strong eight figures.

Are you serious?

16
Can I interview you for a minute real quick?
17
Let's do it.
18
You got rich selling soap.
19
Yeah.
20
What's the best financial advice you could give to the younger generation?
21
Oh man, a money lesson that I've lived by is your business money is not your lifestyle money.
22
So the moment you come into money, you think, oh yeah, let me buy that Benz.
23
I was a multi-millionaire driving a Nissan Altima and living in a 700 square foot apartment.
24
Did you come from a lot of money growing up?
25
No, my mom made $30,000 a year.
26
She had five kids.
27
How much money did you have when you started the business?
28
$67.
29
I started my business in college.
30
So you turned $67 into eight figures.
31
Eight figures over eight years.
32
How did you scale from seven to eight figures?
33
My secret is my organic marketing.
34
So a lot of businesses, they rely heavily on paid marketing.
35
But I think what set us apart is that my organic marketing was fire from the beginning.
36
The word of mouth is what really sold the brand.
37
Once I put ads on top of that, it was over.
38
That's game right there.
39
You know that, right?
40
It was over.
41
Give me another lesson about business right here that is not taught in school.
42
Ooh, fire fast and hire slow.
43
Ooh.
44
You need to know when you need to get rid of someone on your team immediately.
45
How old are you now?
46
31. Do you believe in God?
47
Absolutely.
48
Who is your God?
49
Jesus Christ.
50
How did you know God was real?
51
Have you ever been christened before?
52
I was baptized.
53
Yes.
54
Okay, so I live my life by Jeremiah 29-11.
55
For I know the plans I have for you and it's to prosper you and not to harm you.
56
God is not going to forsake me.
57
So I heavily believe in Jesus Christ for sure.
58
If me and you died tomorrow and you could leave one last message with the younger generation, what would that be?
59
This is going to sound kind of brutal, though.
60
Go for it.
61
There's no holding back.
62
In times of peace, prepare for war.
63
Don't think, hey, it's party time.
64
No, you got to be ready.
65
Prepare for war in the times of peace.
66
You have amazing advice.
67
Thank you.
68
I connect with all the millionaires and billionaires I interview.
69
Can I get your contact?
70
Yeah, absolutely.
71
Let's do this.

About This Lesson

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
