You Don't Need $100K — Non-Cash Currencies, Human Connection & Final Investor Wisdom | FOC

0:04Let's go for the last two here. Natalia, you want to give us an insight, something that you want to leave everybody with as a very special thing they should take away? Well, I think right now with AI, everybody's doing virtual. I think more and more the human connection is very important. That's why I think these meetings are very important and a group of people. And one of the comments we mentioned that when you create community, then you can share your insight, share the values, and share your dollars as well to make something much more impactful. So I would say stay on top of the trends in your specific industry.

0:41look who are best specialists in this. Try to make them your mentors. Always keep learning because right now the world is evolving so fast that unless you stay and you allocate some time every day to learn and to pay attention to the new things, you will fall behind. I'm going to leave Dave with the last words, but I do want to reinforce what David said a couple of moments ago. We're in this amazing world where you don't need$100 ,000. There are so many people that have got businesses and nowhere for them to go. They've made money. They've built value. They don't have kids who want to take it over.

1:17They are everywhere, everywhere we go. But most of us pass by them and we go to our car wash or we go to the shop or we go to the small hotel and we don't notice the fact that we have other currencies which are not cash. All of us have the ability to be able to build a couple million dollars worth of value within five to 10 years. All of us. It is all around us. but most people think, oh, I need 50 grand, I need 100 grand. That's not the case. It's everywhere. Dave, finish us off. I'll finish us off probably a messed up quote from Master Oogway.

1:58Dude, that's very deep. Yeah, I'm going to get deep here for a second. Can we do maybe Charlie Brown? Yeah, no. It's late. But, you know, it's the quote about, like, you know, the past is history, yada, yada, yada. But the reality is coming every day with an air of gratitude is transformative. It's been transformative in my life, having four kids. I got people my age dying, right? You see in the news, folks, whatever the condition is, whether it's cancer or, you know, life is so short and precious. and it seems to be more often that calamity or something bad's happened. It's easy to think about your regrets.

2:42Think about the deals I messed up or the things that didn't go right. It's easy to be worried about the future or what's happening around us. But just show up every day energized, present, and full of gratitude and everything that you want to attract in your life can come to be. And maybe we actually turn this into something whereby we drive the universe. So Dave has just given you something. There are probably thousands of people. Actually, that's not true. There's probably like two to three people in your life where you have like got monster gratitude for and they've done something huge for you.

3:20But like you haven't thought about it until just this moment when Dave just said this. And then you have a choice, right? Your choice is I can move on and I can just do the stuff I was going to do and meet people and do deals and have a coffee and have a drink and do this stuff. Or I can just do something significant for that person in this moment that actually demonstrates the gratitude I have for them. Maybe it's just a phone call. I love you. Maybe it's a thank you. Maybe it's a Starbucks card. Maybe you're sending somebody a bottle of whiskey. Do something beautiful. And I think if the entire room does something beautiful in homage to what you just said, then we immediately have a better world.

3:52So thank you, panel. Thank you, everybody. Enjoy your moment of gratitude. And I'll pass it to Richard. Join the Family Office Club by visiting familyoffices.com. We look forward to seeing you at our next live event.
