Hey, doctor, how’s it going? Hi, how are you doing doing well, and you I’m good. I’m good. I’m here. Fantastic. I’m just getting just getting the messages out because we it used to be somebody else. But now it’s just me and you. So I’m going to start promoting as people join. Okay. Okay. Okay. So, all right. I see Tim Chamberlain.

We spoke this morning. How’s it going? This is the Q and a call. Good. Good. Well, I’m just coming to listen, get some like, uh, answers, answers for my project. Yeah, absolutely. So, yeah, sometimes it calls, uh, it could be around 20 people or it could be really empty. It depends on the demand. So, uh, yeah, yeah, I’m just going to start promoting it right now.

Okay, let me lie.

All right.

Okay, the room is filling up. Hi, Edmund. How’s it going?

What’s up? I see you around, baby. Hey,

Nehdu. Hey, guys. Hey, Jamar. How’s it going? Pretty good, pretty good. Yeah. Yeah, so I think this is sufficient. So, um, we can see if more people join. But basically, uh, this is a Q& A call. And I see… I mean, Tim is just watching. Uh, Edmund, I don’t know if he has a question. But, uh, if you want to take the lead with a question, we can go into it right away.

Oh, me. If there’s any, if there’s anything they want. Oh, yeah. So the, I was working with that, uh, um, uh, VA and he just suddenly disappeared. Uh, so I don’t know what’s going on. So, uh, yeah. So I was just thinking maybe I need to, uh, find another one. Right. So then we need to do the full training and everything and start everything from scratch, I guess.

Um, in the meantime, uh, should I send the mails using that email list? Yeah. Is there any way I can do that part or what’s the process should be? Or do you have a structure that I should do it? Yeah, so, uh, let’s see here. Well, yeah, sometimes it’s, it’s annoying and it sucks, but yeah, sometimes out of the Philippines, um.

Sometimes they actually just go off the face of the earth because, I mean, who knows, sometimes they can actually, like, literally get in the car accidents or who knows how to. We had Jello replaced for free. And so we’ll just replace for free whenever there’s a problem. So, yeah, just to reach out to Jill.

But then on the list, yeah, the list to reach out. But more importantly, I was just discussing with somebody today. That, uh, you know, on the calendar, just to make sure that, um, whenever we’re doing the outreach is that. Especially on LinkedIn. We want to make sure that they’re qualified. Uh, but then to answer your question.

Yeah, the next step is really just to start the outreaches and it should take just like a few minutes a day just to get some initial responses to see what people are looking for. Uh, the, uh, should I send manually or what’s the approach should be? And what do you have an email template? I can use it. Is that the same script that we’re using on the to talk to?

Yeah, I like, I like the previous 1 where. I believe I have the notes, but like the previous one, but let me just look at the standard ones. First, the main idea is just we just pretend that we, we pretend that we know every, we know a lot about them. We already did a lot of research. And then, and then we’re just saying, oh, uh, you know, I did the research, but I still have questions based.

I still have questions based on the research that I did, uh, would it be appropriate to just, you know, answer those questions on a quick call or what would be the next steps? Something like that usually works well. Okay. And then I’ll recommend if you haven’t already, I’ll recommend to get your LinkedIn going.

Uh, there’s some LinkedIn automations that you can use as well on the background. Uh, they work really well. So if you get both then, uh, So the quick answer is, yeah, manual, manual marketing on go iLevel and then LinkedIn automation should be the next, the next steps. Okay. Uh, where is communicating with investors?

Yeah, so let’s see here. Okay, for the warm introductions, that’s covered.

Yeah, here’s literally, um, what we use for Brandstar Capital. Uh, but this is do we need to specifically mention a real estate or something like that or can we keep it? Uh, More generic. Well, I mean for m& a or for real estate, we kind of split them. Okay. Okay. I can see it here Yeah, yeah, and it’s a little bit generic but so instead of saying re deals It’s like are you for you can just say even a positive deals I’m assisting even a positive clients including one company and then you insert the ebit out of that company Okay, real estate is attached or not And then you can remove, acquire, and then accomplish.

And then when suits to discuss or when are the next steps. This is the most direct way and it works. So let’s see.

So something like this. And you may want to talk with, uh. Timothy on call is actually, whoops, it’s not email. Timothy on call is actually getting into that type of business. Into, um Oh, okay. Yeah. But he is more in, in the construction world, in the development world, but he is getting into that type of, um, the healthcare side.

Oh yeah. Yeah. Okay. So his name, direct fund for ebitda, positive deals on name, I mean his real, real estate is attached. Yes, yes, yes. Okay.

Um, okay. So do I need to be specific on the numbers or how do I, uh, because I’m looking at multiple deals and some of them that range, some of them are 4. 8, some of them are 3. 5. Yeah. You don’t have to be specific. Like, uh, Oh, 1 million EBITDA. Is that, that sounds. Fine. That makes sense to me. You honestly just wanna pack them together, be vague and, and exaggerate.

And so I’m assisting you our positive clients. Uh,

so this is a super aggressive way. Being aggressive kind of works well. That’s fine. It’s one way. So I can give this a shot and so I’ll just manually put through the, do you, so the list, the client list that we are looking at is, we are using that U link. All right. Is that what you’re thinking client? Well, the, the, the goal I level is for the emails.

And then the, the, you link is just for LinkedIn and LinkedIn is more smaller, smaller ticket investors. It works really well. It’s proven. And I think you should do both, but then the, the list is more institutional. So more institutional bias. Okay. Yeah. All right. Cool. That’s why it’s more direct and no emotion.

Yeah. Yeah. So is this, are we automating this thing or how is that going to work? That’s what I’m trying to figure it out. Uh, on the go high level? Yeah. Or just there’s manually sending the mails. Manually. They’re sending the mails. Yeah. Yeah, it’s manual. So I’ll just take a list. I’ll just add 200 to the, to the, to the groups of people you sent.

I can even model it if you let me, uh, control your screen. If you can show me like a quick example. That would be good. Uh, yeah. I won’t take much time, but at least five minutes and the rest of the folks probably have other questions too. So. Yeah. Or they may not. So, so don’t be ashamed or anything. Okay.

I like the Edmunds dog. I want to see the dog, Edmund. Oh, nice. Nice husky. Is that a husky? It

looks like a husky.

Or he got dropped? Yeah, he dropped off.

Managed to find it? Oh, you’re looking at me to get the go high level. Oh, my bad. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Sorry. Miscommunication. Okay. Sure. Sure. Sure. Sure. Sure. I’ll do it.

Okay. Ooh. All right. Okay. Let me share my screen.

Can

you see? Yes, I can. There you go.

Okay. Yeah. So let’s head to the go high level and I’ll show you an example of taking 200 people. Okay. It’s in go high level, right? Right now. Yeah. Yeah. So it is, but I still see zoom. So maybe it’s showing the wrong window. Oh, not this one. Nope. I’m not seeing that. I just see zoom. Oh, my bad. No worries.

Share the screen. How about now? There we go. Okay. Good. Okay, my bad. No, it’s all good. So let me take a mouse control. It’ll be quicker. Okay, cool. So let’s go to, yeah, let’s go to marketing

campaigns. So it should be marketing campaigns, but let’s go into the sub accounts. They’re already in the sub accounts. So marketing,

there it is, campaigns. Okay.

So there’s a test campaign. So make a new campaign.

So the thing is that at the top, later on, we want to put a, uh, Later on at the top, we want to obviously put like a little, um, you know how you say, oh, first name and all that to put in. Oh, yeah, the, uh, um, like the parameter or something like that. First name like that. Yeah, exactly. Later on, we want to do that.

But but for now, I’m just I’m just showing you. So then once it’s discussed or when the next steps and then at the bottom, you will put in, you know, your signature or a link to book your call. So then. We save it is and then we say, let me just do something.

I can hold tab and go back. Okay. And then you click send a schedule. And then the idea is we can send it to like a list of context loading.

Okay. And then we just say, so from email. It is brave lion m a at or is it jamara brave lion m and a or info at info info at yeah info at Okay

jamara

and then so yeah, that’s pretty much so we send it to a list or a list of tags and then later on Um, you know, we need to send it so you can schedule and do all this stuff. Okay, that’s the email part So if you were to just take a few more, this should take literally probably 10 minutes Every day and then i’ll just start with um, you know, 100 to like 50 to 100 Uh, so then let’s look at the actual context though, so, or the actual, uh, the actual list.

So then if the previous VA properly did it, so one question about the VA, like, don’t they have to get, um, don’t they have to get, like, don’t they have to get paid? Like, do you pay them at the end of the month? I paid him like a weekly. Is that a bad decision? No, don’t pay, don’t pay them weekly. That’s, that’s, they’re not loyal if you paid them weekly, because, um, yeah, because if you paid them at the end of the month, they’ll be more loyal because You just want to put in the payments like you want to put the work in between the payment as much as possible and then Yeah, but if you paid them weekly, then you know, then they’re just not uh, they’re not they’re not bought in You know, they’re not as loyal.

That’s right. Yeah. No, I noticed that personally and even with some others So yeah, just what at the end of the month if you just paid them once and then that’s it I like the idea. I think that’s a lesson I learned Lessons I’m learning as it goes on. Yeah. Yeah, because what can happen is you can check her performance monthly, right?

That’s right. That’s right. Yeah. Okay. So Yeah, I mean, it’s pretty straightforward. So like when we went to the context, you saw that you have all these, um, yeah, no execs home services, right? So when we put in there, yeah, so the, uh, I need to filter out based on the, uh, that attribution. So, so see attribute attribution.

So, so something like that. Yeah, yeah. Well, let’s see. Let’s see, uh, tags. Okay. So then we just look at tags. And what tag, what tags do we have? Let’s click here. Oh, look at this. Let’s see the, yeah, the fund managers on U. S. or Canada private degree. All right. Yeah, private equity. Yeah. So, so 1 thing we can do, we can do us private equity and then, uh, so that’s the tag.

So what we can do, we can go back now that we know what it’s, I guess, we’re going to marketing

those 10 campaigns.

We just finished this off and we can send it and when you send it, we can actually just have it so that if it sends it out consistently, like, over, like, it wouldn’t send it all at once. You can send it just slowly and then we can adjust as we go. So we click schedule. Right. You see recipients choose context from tags.

And then we choose, uh, uh, private equity, us private equity. So then, uh, batch schedule, so the 497,

what was it like on a 50, I guess. Yeah, exactly. You can, we can do like 50 a day just by going here and then start here. That’s quantity. We can break it out into 10 groups, split the hours by, uh, every one day. We can do only, um, we can skip like Sundays, for example, and then we don’t really care about the start time, but then that’s it.

But then when we’re ready, we would send it. But let me just save this. Okay. All right. Cool. I won’t take much time, but thank you very much. Uh, I really appreciate it. No worries. No worries. All right. Answer all the questions. That’s it. I was just thinking, uh, since, uh, you know what I mean? Like, uh, until he comes on, I, I need to move on plugging along things, what I’m doing so that we can get the results.

So I’m going to get, so that’s why. Yeah. Yeah, so do that. Let us know. And then if you need more investor lists or anything, we’ll add some more as well. Thank you. I appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you. No worries. Okay, so Excel, how’s it going?

So you may not have any questions, and that’s fine. And Tim, I know that you’re just watching. So, so I guess if there if there’s nothing else, then, uh, Joshua, what we can do if you like, um. Could you give us a brief macro economic, uh, just update in terms of because there’s a lot of fear with the. Yeah, interest rates.

So do you have any macroeconomic outlook before you can wind down the call?

Oops. And you just unmute. Yes, there’s always a economist always have a macroeconomic outlook, right? Um, and, uh, but then this time is a bit different because, uh, you know, the shocks are not just coming out of the U. S. They are global and they are controlled from different points, you know, before now, most crisis we start and end either within the U.

S. Or if it, if it goes, uh, furthers, it’ll be Europe. Right. And the U US has a influence, uh, basically strong, uh, effective influence on what happens in Europe. Right. But this time is different. This time we started with, um, the Covid.

Shutdowns and trigger inflation and then within it, we’re not dealing with of course the inflation You know the moment we got to that point in inflation. There was really no Nice way of dealing with it is like Surgery, right? There’s no way of getting into An operating an operating theater to be walked on by a surgeon with a smile on your face.

It doesn’t happen. Right. At that point, what you are going to face is allow the knife to go in with the pain and blood or probably die from the issue. So, um, and that’s where we got to with the inflation. Right. At the point we got to with inflation, there was no nice way of bringing it down. It was more of, um, how hard you will go.

It was more of how nicely, whether you’re playing music while doing the surgery or You’re just, uh, uh, doing the surgery with no, uh, palliation. Interest rate, which was the only thing that the Feds could do, um, remember, they also caused much of the problem. But that was the only thing they could do. But interest rate cuts both ways, right?

You use it to quench inflation, but if you do it too long, Too fast, too high, you kill the productive sector sectors of the industry of the of the economy that by and large depends on financing. You also make a fundamental shift from consumption to saving. Now, that part is the toughest part when it comes to investment and, uh, and, uh.

You say, if you raise the interest rate to the point that individuals now think that saving money now makes more money, right, than investing or consuming, because these are the trade offs, right? Either they can save their money, which is a form of investment, but not direct investment, because when they save the money, they Um, allow for, uh, the banks and, uh, private equity firms or investors who can, who have the capacity to leverage, to access that money through the banks.

and make the investment, right? But what are they going to invest in? Because they’ve, the consumers are the same people who are consuming homes, buying homes, who are consuming clothes, who are consuming food. So if they’re not spending their money there and they are saving it, then if you take the money to go and invest, there’s lower return because there’s no demand for those goods and services.

So it’s a cyclical thing. That’s why you cannot, you know, do it too fast, too quick or too high. Remember also that when leveraging has to access that money from the banks. The interest rate is high anyway. Yeah. So they will require higher rate of return, but higher rate of return means higher demand by consumers, but consumers are not, are not buying.

So they are consuming less. So you’re facing lower demand. So you cannot really produce higher, higher return. If your demand is low, you’re, you’re more likely to be forced to reduce the price, which is the same thing that the feds want when they are raising the interest rate. But if you do it too fast, too quick, too high.

Too long. It kills the economy. Now, which brings us to digital political angle. Remember whether is a.com of the nineties or the financial crisis of the of 2008. Uh, what u used to happen was that as the feds. increase the interest rate. Domestically, the, the government and consumer, they encourage consumers and domestic, uh, and the government to consume more, to buy more, because they try to use the interest rate increase to attract foreign investors.

To buy U. S. Treasuries, now this is the geopolitical angle that is coming in that people are not seeing, right? They will, so they are interested, they discourage domestic, uh, um, savers to save, they encourage them to consume. Yeah. So then what do you get? They say, you know, that’s when you begin to hear, you know, zero percent down.

Um, car buying 0% down. Um, uh, uh, uh, 95%, uh, down payment for homes. You know, they do all this to encourage domestic consumers. Even when they are trying to raise the interest rate, why they want to attract foreign investors to buy the US treasuries to bring money in be China, Saudi Arabia, Russia. It used to be right now.

What has happened this time? Oh, they just seized Russia’s foreign reserves. A year ago. So everyone is going, if you have a quarter with the U. S., maybe you don’t want to even buy U. S. Treasury. So, these foreign investors, through a combination of, uh, the sanctions and the seizure of foreign central bank reserves, these are the channels, really, foreign money comes in, right?

The money is not, it’s not coming in.

Right? So, you know, this Silicon Valley Bank, now the headline, the media is that, hey, um, there was a bank roll, so they couldn’t, uh, uh, uh, give, uh, the money when the investors needed because of interest rates, but, well, this is one part of the big, the problem. Right. The interest rate was such that the money they promised, uh, was not enough.

So owners of the money are saying, look, give us higher interest rate for our deposit, or we take them to somewhere, um, to, to invest. And the Silicon Valley bank tried to not call in because they were invested in long term venture capital issues, right? So they were not in a position to call the money.

Right. That they, they, they, they lent out usually what used to Apple and it happened to a city group long time ago. At that point, the backers we call the shacks in Saudi Arabia, the, the, the billionaires in Russia, um, the billionaires in, uh, in China to say, Hey, throw in some billions here to save us. We’ll give you a 5% or not because there’s no money in the U S right.

Okay. This time they tried to make those calls. It didn’t happen. They called the Saudis. The Saudis said, hey, the last time I checked, you guys were threatening sanctions and they’re cutting off the way. We don’t think we, we wanted this. It’s the same Saudis, the city group called when they faced the same situation that prompted billions of dollars.

This time, no external investor put the money, because the money That could come was in China, Russia and Saudi Arabia. He didn’t come. So that’s why SVP collapsed. So then the foreign, so you’re saying that the, the, the lack, the hazards, the way that because of the geopolitical drama between us and other countries, there’s a higher tension.

So it’s harder to attract foreign investments, which makes it harder for. Yeah. Why do I want to bring my money to invest in North America? When you’re, you’re seizing my yacht, you’re seizing, you’re placing sanctions on my, on the money I left taking my real estate because of what my government is doing.

You can’t have an individual. Yeah. Why do we have to punish individuals for what the government are doing? This is the change that happened in the last one year. That was never there in global finance. Remember that North America, we’re not savers. On balance, we owe up to 50, 000 per person. Our credit cards are all financed from external funders.

The China, the China’s of this world, the Japan’s of this world, the Saudi Arabia’s of this world, the Russia of this world.

So is it? That is why this type is tougher to fight the inflation. It’s tougher to, to solve the problem

because the foreign investors are buying good and going somewhere else rather than bringing the money into the U. S. That used to be seen as a safe apple for all kinds of money.

So do you think that this is why the whole, uh, the big short guy, the Michael Berry guy was saying, Oh, you know, I’m going to short the S& P 500. Is that part of the skepticism or is it unrelated? Okay. That’s part of it. Okay. That’s part of it. Remember, another thing that has happened is that as a result of the geopolitics is that, I mean, first it was started by COVID 19 shutdown when we realized that everything we needed came from China and outside.

Yeah. That we don’t produce really anything. In fact, if you want to see how the world produces. Take five bologna that the top five below bologna from each country. Of the top five countries or the top 10 countries check the below the top five billionaires on the Forbes list. Check what they have, what they produce.

The US top top billionaires, either they produce internet or some software, you know, only Elon Musk actually produces goods like cars. Not Twitter. Not the Twitter. Remove the Twitter, right? I mean Mag Zuck. But what does he produce? Facebook . When the chips are that you don’t eat Facebook, Facebook cannot, cannot power your car.

Go to the other countries. They, they’re top billionaires. They produce oil, nickel food, cement. Yeah. Gold cement. No real stuff. They produce real things that you and I would need. That’s what makes them billionaires.

Now this supply chain that we used to get these real things into the U S because we don’t produce real things. Again, Joe party got sanctioned, broke those. And of course, from COVID we’ve broken those, uh, supply chains. And we’re saying that we’re going to produce those things. in country or buy them from our friends.

The problem with that is that anywhere else, you see, what drove the supply chain and where things are located and produced is pure economics.

Under what we came from until the last two, one, two years, it was pure economic. You go to China, Apple goes to China to manufacture their phone because simply is the cheapest place to manufacture with the people, with the technology. Now, when you say that, You don’t like the Chinese face and I’m not correlating that.

I mean, sometimes my daughter doesn’t like my face. I don’t correlate, right? Yeah. Fair enough. I still love her. So I’m not, I’m not talking about, I’m not passing a judgment on what we do or do not do. I’m just talking about the impact. Yeah. The consequences. That we are not prepared for, or we should be prepared for.

It’s a, when you say that you’re going to sanction Chinese company, Huawei, or you don’t want Apple to produce in, uh, in, uh, in, in, uh, China, or you want to produce it in Vietnam. Or you want to produce it in Germany, whatever, in Canada, whatever. In essence, you have to accept that all these countries cannot produce it cheaper than the Chinese.

So the price we have to pay will be necessarily higher. At that point, it’s not a matter of patriotism. It’s a matter of your pocket and your bank account. Are we ready for that? Because guess what? The Chinese will still produce. Only that there’s will be cheaper because we don’t buy it from them. So where are we going to buy it?

Are we going to go to, uh, Alibaba to order it from Chinese manufacturers or go to Amazon to order it from American, uh, North American manufacturers because Amazon will not be. More expensive at the same quality.

And these goes for everything. This is a consequence of the supply chain disruption that is going on. So from spending and inflation perspective, the feds must continue to fight this, or we will have to accept that there’s no such thing as lower prices as we knew them. And so, the, the Feds will continue to fight this inflation, because believe me, there’s a difference between paying 25 an hour and 2 an hour to produce the same thing,

when it hits the shelf. You see the inflation we were fighting until now, why interest rates were, one of the reasons interest rates were low, because inflation pressure was low, was because we were buying things at 20 cents an hour, produced at 20 cents an hour, 2 an hour. Now we are saying that we are going to give it to our friends.

Who can only produce if we produce it is 25. If I, we, we make trouble because, uh, Burger King and McDonald’s don’t pay 15 an hour. Yeah.

But it’s just a bugger.

Yeah, there’s a bit of feedback. If you choose to walk there, you walk with economics of that.

Oh, you don’t. This is economic perspective. And that goes for everything. Is it if we are saying that we must earn 25? to carry pipe to a construction site. And as a result of that, we don’t want the Chinese who can carry the same pipe at 2. Then we have to accept that that pipe at least 25 and we have to buy it.

This is why this inflation is different. And this is why the traditional way of fighting it is going to change because the world has changed around us.

It was started by COVID, but we’ve moved past the point where COVID was the only reason. So, uh, question guys, uh, what, this is Timothy, what does all of this means as it relates to syndication and funds and debt? Some of us are real estate, construction, business acquisition, particularly those three. How does that relate to getting needed funds?

All of you said, I agree with everything you’re saying, and it goes deeper than that too. And I agree with everything. So what’s the solution? Well, this is, this is what it is, right? We have to accept that there’s a limit to what we can get out of North America to fund these things. Remember, Mark Zuckerberg and uh, Elon Musk, the richest people we have, their own riches are because of stock market valuation, not any shoe they have or something they have.

That’s right. And this stock market valuation is mostly driven by external money trying to buy into the U. S. stock market. If that money stops coming, Equity markets will not return the things that it is returning. I, I guess we will get real on what is important, whether the guy producing sugar that is in everything or the guy that, um, looks at his screen and touches, uh, something and it is important for life.

Now, so if the stock market gets hit. That’s why I’m starting from there, that it’s not creating the wealth that it used to create as a result of buy pressure from outside. It means that our, our individual power to leverage, remember most of the real estate fund are come a number of the real estate funds are coming from, uh, our recipe.

PS um, uh, uh, uh, I rra fonts. You know, this forms and, and, and, uh, stock market leveraging, uh, and, uh, and not a lot of real estate, real, uh, real product or real, uh, goods leveraging is mostly from stock leveraging. So we say, as I said, the difference between. Uh, the richest man in, uh, in, in, uh, in, uh, in China, uh, India, Russia, or Saudi Arabia, and the richest man in the U.

S. in North America is that the richest man in the U. S. is on stock market. The richest man in Saudi Arabia has real oil reserves.

So leveraging is a real asset.

Now, as a result of this, by and large, Right now, the banks are still getting cheap money, although it’s getting more expensive from the feds, in order to lend it to the real economy, that’s individuals, businesses, and investors who can leverage, like the margin borrowings and all that, who can, who can leverage.

Right? But that cheap money is coming to an end, which means that we have to use savings that are literally saved in the bank for the bank to be able to use to deploy to real businesses and real estate through borrowers. Right? If we don’t save, by and large, the money has to come from outside. So, which brings us to the difference between a local fund syndicator, aggregator for investment, and the difference between a global focused person.

At this point, there are three places in the world that you can be to be able to do business all over the world. Anywhere else. You can only do business in certain part of the world. For instance, if you, it used to be easy for you to run a fund here and market in China, market in the Middle East market in, uh, in, uh, Eastern Europe, including.

Uh, Russia and India. Remember, India doesn’t have money. India needs money at this point. It’s in a growth phase. It hasn’t created so much money to be able to look outside for investment. So the way access money really is to look outside for investment in China, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Russia before the war, right?

Which means that. And of course, Germany. But Germany now is struggling. So that those are our friends, Germany and Japan. Japan still has money. Germany doesn’t have money again. Those are the points where money used to come that we go to, and we cannot syndicate. Right now, to be able to access all these funds, you have to be in United Arab Emirates, in Dubai, where all the money comes, enter some investment pool, and then they go everywhere else to invest.

You have to be in Vietnam, in Vietnam. Or you have to be, so even the Singapore’s of this world, they are becoming shaky,

right? If you are in these places, yeah, you can, you can still attract global money or somewhere in Africa, Mauritius in Africa, right? But if you’re in China, you can’t, you can’t do business in the US, your money. So if you go to set up funding in, in China, you can only invest in the BRICS countries. Right.

Your money is not going to be accepted in the U. S. So Chinese don’t want to invest in the U. S. because they don’t want to be the next people sanctioned. If you are in Europe, you cannot invest. You can invest in North America, but you cannot invest in this other world. So if you want to be in North America, the place you go to for external money to come in, therefore, today is Japan.

And South Korea, because those are friends with excess money to invest that are still buying US treasuries. That is bringing money. Everything else we’re doing is print money, and that is well in the interest rate is well in the, the inflation, because it’s well in the inflation is well in the interest rate, and this as a stronger, the wrong way is coming to a close.

Why? Because Congress cannot even agree on it. In Canada, we’ve run out of it. Nobody, I mean, the more they print that if they lower the Canadian currency fall, so we’re stopping. So

individual savers, that’s your best bet internally, individual savers. You have to look at those individuals and find a way. And this is where it becomes critical. You see, the successful ones are the ones who can find a way to structure their funds in a way that retirement, individual retirement savings can come because that is the only place there are savings.

So, and the path to that is tough, right? It is tough. How to structure RSPs.

or IRA funds and invest in it because that is the only place where individuals in North America still have savings team. Yes. Okay. Every other person we’re using a credit card. Yeah.

Our monthly payments are higher than our monthly income. So there’s no savings. We have line of credit equity line of credit, but that means you’re, you’re going to be against your house. The real savings are in retirement funds, self-directed retirement funds. Mm-hmm.

or you go to real production. See, as we are trying to bring the, the, the production onshore, the supply chain on Sho Shore, you said the, uh, businesses, investing in businesses, you have to look at those businesses that produce real things. Mm-hmm. that we want to stop buying from our side because, As we stop buying them from outside people will pay to buy them because they are real and necessary things without regard to the price

I think you’re on mute. Am I on mute? Can you hear me? My bad. Yeah, we can hear you, Tim That was on mute. Yeah. No, I was talking to myself. I was talking to myself Yeah, you know, so tim something interesting is there’s a member uh, devon dames He has a a deal where I mean he’s focused on the the medical niche And he gets investors from that niche by big, very similar, making sure that, um, they’re able to invest, uh, using their, because doctors are a lot of doctors are high net worth.

And so he uses them to invest into his fund from, from there, uh, and he, he just makes sure that they don’t get dinged on tax. He launches, like, um, I think an LLC for each of those, uh, investors and he uses that. So, I guess my point is like, I think doctors. They get paid a lot of money. Yeah. And because it’s medical, you can kind of use that angle to try to get them into, into the, um, I mean, it’s been proven.

So it seems to work. Yeah. Henry’s deal, it does Henry is another fellow. He found it, but he was in that medical sector and they use doctors as well because they make money and they save and I guess the last thing to in general, like. And I was listening to, uh, David Sacks from this all in podcast, and he was saying the same thing that I’m more talking about how LTVs are going down or would go down because the interest rates and then it’s like, okay, so then that means that more equity would be need to people who need to raise more equity and then where is the equities and places where there’s money that’s not leveraged and where is that.

It seems to be in the, in retirements or, or anyone that just has money that they’re not borrowing on. Right. Yeah. So yeah, margin accounts. I mean, they are leveraged my way. If your margin account is my, it’s like my margin account. I mean, for every dollar there, there are probably 2 of a leverage, you know, and I stock up in the stock market.

The only place that I don’t have, I have on leverage money is my retirement account. Yeah, exactly.

Just for context, um, for those who haven’t met Joshua yet, uh, I mean, he’s a. CFA charter holder, uh, tax experts, Ph. D. Um, so, yeah, I know it’s time is very viable and, uh, and, uh, just just want to make sure anyone have any questions for, uh, uh, Joshua while he’s here because I know that Kevin and a few others joined.

Looks like no other questions or. Oh, I see the message from Axay. Let’s see. Oh, yeah. No, you’re welcome. Okay, Axay said he’s just learning as well. Yeah, no worries.

So Kevin, you unmuted. Kevin, you good? How’s it going?

Okay, so no audio is coming out. Well, I mean, hey, listen, no worries. I’m sitting back. So, um, yeah, no, that was a pretty good discussion. And, uh, and thank you, Josh, for just going through how geopolitics affects the The market right here and uh, I haven’t seen anybody link together the ukrainian war With the, like with international investments in that way.

So that was pretty, uh, that was a nice angle that you pulled in there. I didn’t think of that angle. So it was good stuff. Yep. Cool. All right. So, um, so, so we’re all, so I heard South Korea, one last comment there. Um, and are those mechanisms within your program, those type of investors? So I heard medical, I heard retirement.

I heard South Korea. I heard, who else did I hear? Um, Japan would be in Japan, right? There would be in Japan. Japan. Japan. Japan. Yeah. Um, and not so much Singapore anymore. . Uh, yeah. Okay. And so, yeah, so the, your this program, raises.com, all of those factors in this program and in your, uh, all of these, are we operating under these new rules under this?

On the on the program you’re providing that to. Yep. So, I mean, the vehicle can accept them in. That’s not a problem. There just has to be like, another part in the PPM where we talk about foreign currency risk. Uh, so we, it’s still the, it’s still the same old, um, you know, Reg B, 506C, and then there are different lines for that.

You don’t have to, like, some people do something called a Reg S, where you can bring in everybody that’s not in the U. S. I don’t think you have to go that far, but, but a quick answer is, yeah, you can totally accept them in, and, uh, we can use an S crew and bring them in, that’s fine. Uh, yeah, the only thing is that more on the investor contact side.

Like, it’s, it’s a bit limited. We only have around, I think, 25% that are non U. S. So, yeah, we do have people out in, um, you know, UAE and things like that. Some family offices there, but. But I think it’s way limited, so we only started branching out recently, but yeah, it’s pretty mostly, uh, U. S. focused for now.

1 thing we can do is, when we’re doing the, when we get into the outreach and the cold outreach, we can look at. Uh, targeting targeting foreign, um, investments and foreign doctors, but yeah, it’s it’s pretty like, it’s like 75% U. S.

Yeah, but hey, it’s good to be proactive and to know this. Now, when we get deep into deep into this economic crunch good stuff.

All right, well, listen, I think we can wind it down. So this has been, uh, not to Mars, Joshua go, go and be sure to feel free to connect with him on the community. He’s on the he’s on the WhatsApp group, and he’s on the app and and, uh, he runs a tax practice. And he, he, he’s looking at helping some of our clients on more on the tax side.

Uh, so, you know, thanks for being on and then the next 1 will be and the last announcement is that we’re going to just have the. The group calls only on Mondays at 6 PM, because the 1 on 1 calls. I mean, people book the one on one calls instead of the Wednesday calls anyway.
