Hack & Grow Rich Episode 150:
Importance of Legacy Nowadays

 

The Enduring Power of Legacy: Lessons from the Ancient Egyptians

History often unveils remarkable stories that transcend time, offering us glimpses into the lives and beliefs of those who came before us. Among the countless tales of human civilization, one of the most captivating and thought-provoking is that of King Tutankhamun and the treasures found within his tomb. But beyond the glimmering gold and intricate artifacts lies a profound lesson about the importance of legacy and the enduring quest for immortality.

As we delve into the discoveries made by Howard Carter, the archaeologist who unearthed the long-lost tomb in 1922, we are transported back to the ancient world of Egypt. Carter's meticulous documentation and recent colorized images allow us to witness the unfolding of history with unprecedented detail and clarity. It is a journey that reveals not only the opulence of a bygone era but also the profound significance the Egyptians attached to their legacy.
As we delve into the discoveries made by Howard Carter, the archaeologist who unearthed the long-lost tomb in 1922, we are transported back to the ancient world of Egypt. Carter's meticulous documentation and recent colorized images allow us to witness the unfolding of history with unprecedented detail and clarity. It is a journey that reveals not only the opulence of a bygone era but also the profound significance the Egyptians attached to their legacy.

The storeroom in which King Tutankhamun's belongings were hidden serves as a testament to the unexpected nature of his untimely death. This young ruler, often referred to as the "boy king," was buried with an abundance of treasures, seemingly unprepared for his early departure from the world. The artifacts were tucked away, preserved for centuries until Carter's arrival, untouched and waiting to be rediscovered.

Immersed in the astonishing riches found within the tomb, Carter and his team unraveled the mysteries of the past. Opening the golden-crusted sarcophagus, they discovered layer upon layer of solid gold, encasing multiple sarcophagi within. The lavishness of the burial intrigued and astounded observers, prompting questions about the motivations behind such opulence.

While some may view King Tutankhamun's burial as an act of egotism or extravagance, a deeper understanding reveals a different perspective. In ancient Egyptian beliefs, the concept of legacy held great significance. It was believed that individuals experienced two deaths: the physical death of the body and the second death when their name was forgotten. The latter was considered the true demise, erasing one's memory from the collective consciousness of future generations.

Through this lens, the abundance of gold and treasures becomes a testament to the Egyptians' yearning for immortality. The meticulous construction of the solid gold sarcophagi and the attention to detail in preserving the tomb were not acts of ego but of a profound desire to leave a lasting legacy. King Tutankhamun's burial was an embodiment of this belief, a symbolic gesture to ensure his name would be remembered and whispered through the ages.

As we contemplate this ancient wisdom, we are reminded of the power of legacy in our own lives. King Tutankhamun's story invites us to reflect on our actions and how they contribute to the narrative of our existence. Each day presents an opportunity to shape our legacy, to create a lasting impact that transcends our physical presence. While the desire for material wealth may not be the key to immortality, the essence lies in how we touch the lives of others and the impressions we leave behind. The pursuit of a meaningful legacy encourages acts of kindness, compassion, and contribution to the betterment of society. It compels us to think beyond ourselves, considering the lasting impact of our words, actions, and relationships.

In a world driven by fleeting moments and short-lived gratification, embracing a legacy mindset becomes an invitation to live with intention and purpose. It reminds us that the true value of our lives lies not in the accumulation of wealth or possessions but in the impact we have on others and the mark we leave on the world. So, as we navigate our own journey, let us channel the wisdom of the ancient Egyptians. Let us strive to build a legacy that echoes through the annals of time—a legacy rooted in.

Bart Baggett  00:02

Hey everybody, this is the hack and Grow Rich podcast. My name is Bart Baggett, my co host with me. The master hacker of Amazon, the hacker of the pill culture and future best selling author, Shane Cheyene. Brother. Welcome to the show. It's been fun so far this last couple of years.

 

Shaahin Cheyene  00:22

Yeah, it's been great. This is our first show of the year. And thanks for being on with me again this year as we start up another exciting year 2022 of hacking Grow Rich, my co hosts for you guys who don't know him Bart Baggett, success coach, extraordinary to the rich and happy show, make sure you check out his stuff. As we move in this beautiful January 2022. I'm in Los Angeles part. Where are you at now?

 

Bart Baggett  00:56

I'm in my studio in Dallas, Texas. And we just actually got leased on another studio in Los Angeles. I'll be bouncing around the country quite a bit. Doing a lot more podcasts I just outlined and created a brand new part podcast called barf bag. It's smart show. So we're talking about smart things, smart people about the dumb world. It's gonna be a blast. And I really love doing your show whenever possible. And I got a shout out to you. You were absolutely brilliant on dropping bombs with Bradley. And that is a cool dude in a cool studio. And I think you hit a home run and you want to talk a little about that because because you told some stories that I've heard before, but I don't think you've ever shown them in one show. And man that was that was amazing.

 

Shaahin Cheyene  01:40

Yeah, I appreciate that. For you guys who have not seen the show. Check it out Brad lead podcast, he spells it le a super cool dude out of Las Vegas. He works with Grant Cardone and some of the great internet marketers of our age. His name is Bradley and I did a podcast with him called dropping bombs. We'll also eventually share it on the hack and Grow Rich channel but right now you can check it out on Bradley's site, and also on his YouTube channel. But that was super fun. You know, Bradley's folks agreed to have a song I went down to Vegas had a super cool time with them. And it's it's amazing how some parts of the country are a lot more chill with COVID than California California seems to be deeply concerned about what's happening right now in almost what may seem to some people unreasonable I don't want to get too much into politics or, or any of that stuff on this show. But it's just interesting to note the differences were I was in Arizona not too long ago, and they definitely don't care about COVID They're like, people look at you strange in Texas and Arizona. I know you're in Texas, how are things their weather?

 

Bart Baggett  02:54

Well, you know, I've been in LA for 19 years, and I still would place there but I left because I felt so restrictive. I mean, I couldn't do stand up comedy. I couldn't get on the clubs. I couldn't go to house parties like it was it was felt a little bit like a communist country. And I had this really interesting conversation with the previous ambassador to China. Okay, this is a Saturday night. Fascinating guy. He was there in China for many, many years. And he said that when the COVID outbreak came in, like they just locked the town up, because they can. It's a totalitarian government, right. And they're like, you can't leave your house. And so they squash that thing in two weeks, because people have given up their freedom in exchange for communism. Right. And it was interesting because it can be handled with quarantines, but not with half quarantines. And so what he was saying is so fascinating, because, you know, he's a retired governor. And he said that in America, it's so fascinating because every state is still it's a little country. So when I go from California, to Texas to Nashville, it's like a different country. And I don't think you'd be watching from India doesn't feel that way. Because it all looks like the same crazies doing stuff in politics. But our federal government is kind of a strung together a series of states, United States. And so it's really fascinating. So you go state to state and so that is one reason I was spending more time in Texas, is I had more freedom here, we have more freedom to produce movies and films and stuff into comedy. And it's very interesting how the local politicians are profoundly affecting the lifestyles, which leads actually into our topic, and I'm not a strongly political person, but I am strongly aligned with certain capitalist values. And I think the topic we're gonna talk about is that sort of possibility of what's more important, you know, yourself, being self absorbed, taking care of your family, maybe building a legacy, or is more important. Is it investing in your community and building a community around you or is your country more important? And how did you phrase it when you when you were send me a text this morning about our show?

 

Shaahin Cheyene  04:52

I thought we would talk a little bit today about legacy and why that's important and Why I think what's missing now particularly, we talk about it a lot like with woke culture with tick tock culture where things are fed to a 15 second attention span that melts your brain, rather than trying to think deeper into nuance is that the thinking of getting rich quick, and like everybody else, I like getting rich. And there's no better way to get rich than quick. But when all we do is focus on that, and all we do is focus on on chasing money. In that way, we lose the foundational wealth that the ones who came before us believed in. And that's what it's really about. It's about legacy and legacy thinking. So let me share something with you that I think might be interesting. And okay, there we go. So I'm going to share my screen. It's the first time I've used this platform to share screen so I'm very excited about it. So what do you see there Bart?

 

Bart Baggett  06:08

I see mummies I see two, two in common of color and black and white. That's right. I believe that was one of the more famous of the pharaohs in Egypt. Before, let's call it years zero sometimes, when the earth started in Year Zero, that's my best guess.

 

Shaahin Cheyene  06:27

I think he I think he reigned somewhere in the 1000 BCE era. But sure. So there's a new documentary on Nat Geo, I think you can get it on Disney plus. And it's the discovery of the tomb of tooten Common, which at its time, was one of the greatest archaeological finds, arguably, to this day, one of the the greatest archaeological finds of all time, kind of like real Indiana Jones stuff. It's real Raiders of the Lost Ark real like, those dudes were old school explorers with the leather jackets and the hats, and they all had that khaki shirt that you wear, you can't be an explorer without that khaki, old school Banana Republic shirt. And what they've done is it's fascinating is that they've taken, they've used this crack team of European Film restores, and they've taken this black and white footage from 1920s. And it's beautiful footage from like, 1922. And they've cleaned it up. They've made it 4k, and they've added color to it. And you think So what'd you think? So what, like, really, that's the thing. And then you look at it, and you're like holy shit, like, look at how much more information is just in color in these, and I'm going somewhere with this. So so so so stay with me. And I use this because it is probably the most famous if you ask people about Egypt and Egyptology, which I'm obsessed with, not that I'm knowledgeable about. But

 

Bart Baggett  08:02

before you move on, let me ask you that question. Because I don't know the answer. If you're taking a 35 millimeter photograph, can you really extract it to 4k? Or is it a kind of a electronic version of 4k?

 

Shaahin Cheyene  08:16

Oh, God, I don't know. That's a technical question. For those nerds that are on

 

Bart Baggett  08:19

the go. It's just beautifully makes it look alive and vibrant. And as if you were there in 1905.

 

Shaahin Cheyene  08:25

Yes, and you get to see the details, you can see so much more information. And these guys didn't just use an app to colorize it by the way, there's a few apps that are mind blowing, that colorize black and white photos, this is not using AI. This is not that these guys went and they saw the actual items, and they match the colors. And then they went by hand and colored each frame to those colors. So this would be as close as you can get to what it was like in 1925. The guy's name was Carter, to be in His presence and see him uncovering this great mystery. Now you're looking at the the sarcophagus of King Tut. And they found the storage, right? So this is like this dude's storage room from 3500 years ago. They stuffed the stuff in here, they didn't expect dude to die. That young, he died young, he was a boy king, and they just stuffed all the stuff in this room. And then it was virtually undisturbed for a good part right here of 3500 years. So it's like, dude, here's the key and there was there was a lock on the door and the seal and like it was all like they put the stuff in a room. And then the next guy that opened it was 3500 years later how mind blowing is that now? We didn't get into this but this is gets even more interesting and here's your here's colorized images of Carter opening up the door and you know, like the stuff that's in this looks like this Something that was you know, put in a storage room 20 years ago from a garage sale doesn't look like you know, it doesn't look like something that was from 3500 years ago. So this is what's interesting. So this guy finds the after a year after his discovery of the term finally he gets permission and and politics and all the stuff to open up this sarcophagus. And inside a gold crusted sarcophagus, there are like several other sarcophagi is that the plural will go with sarcophagi, several other sarcophagus is inside. Now, by the time he gets to like the second or third one, he realizes that it's no longer like gold plated with 24 karat gold. It is solid fucking gold. It's a solid gold case for a dude. This dude was buried in multiple gold cases with a shit ton of gold shit. Like, look at this. There's a fucking this dude. You know, like back in these days, these guys wrote around in chariots like chariots were actually how wars were fought. In those days. There's, I don't know if you could see it in here. But there's like a gold chariot you don't see in these pictures, but there's like a little solid gold chariot. That dude used to ride around on saying I'm the king. This is my gold chariot. And then he gets buried in a solid gold human size box layered into three other boxes. Now why is this interesting? Okay. Let's talk about legacy. Thank you. And by the way, look, these are these are the images here you can see Carter with his helper. And then they're, you know, they're they're slowly taking this black tar stuff that they put to preserve this in there. 3500 years ago, these guys figured out what chemical they have to put on this. So when they open it 3500 years later, that it's perfect and looks new. So this guy's taken it off, but look at it in color. Do you see how much more you see in the color one? Like it's it's so detailed. It's so detailed. Alright, so all that aside, here's the interesting thing. People look at this and they go oh my God, what an egomaniac. What uh, you know, how ostentatious how godly how? Yeah, all this. I showed it to a guy that I'm mentoring a young kid. And he said, Oh my God, what an egomaniac? I said, Quite on the contrary. And let me explain why. Here's the reason why. The reason why is this, the Egyptians believed as part of their their holy sacred religion that each man lived once, but had two deaths. The first death happened when your body died. It could happen through war disease, you could get hit by by a chariot, or whatever, see what I did. It's supposed to be bus. You could get hit by something, something could happen and you leave your body. Fair enough. The second death, which is even more interesting, happens when the last person to remember your name, dies or forgets your name. And this was written in the hieroglyphs. So what are they doing here? Why would a pharaoh a king, somebody who is at his height that could use this wealth for enriching himself and his people during that time, go through such pains to build a Solid Gold Sarcophagus even in those days, gold was not easy to come by. Why? The answer is legacy. Because they were legacy thinking it's that second death. As we sit here on this podcast today, as I mentioning his name to you, he has not yet died. We think these were primitive people. We think 3500 years ago, we think these were these were these were real primitive people. And they did not understand death. Oh, they understood it. They weren't no dummies. These guys had surgery. advanced medicine. The there was even an article I read some time ago where they had invented a fucking battery. Like I don't know how they did this, but there's some device that they found out there. That's like every engineer you show it to us like this is a fucking battery. They don't know how you lit it up. Maybe you had to put it out from get lightning or something. But these guys were super high tech. You look at the shit they built. They built amazing city stuff that that rivals anything that was built today in its scale and scope of detail. Maybe it's not as technologically advanced, but it was for its time. incredibly advanced. They understood that when the body dies, it dies. They were no dummies. They didn't think that You could come back to life or they didn't have those stories not in this world at least they had their their mystical beliefs. But what they did believe in was legacy. So now, how does that change us? And let me stop the share. Now, there we go. Well, it occurred to me that this is the opposite of egotism, the opposite of selfishness. Because if you act now, as if everything you do, is part of your legacy, to have your name, whispered on the lips of somebody, 3500 years from now, 5000 years from now, your kids, your grandkids, how far down the line you go, you delay that second death, maybe you gain immortality and immortality is that second death.

 

Bart Baggett  15:57

Immortality has been the brass ring, the stuff of legends, and probably one of the most reoccurring themes in both sci fi and fiction, because we have fear of death. Like, especially if you've made it Well, in this life, you don't really want to give it up. If you've ever been to Los Angeles, there's a museum called the Jay Paul Getty Museum, which has the biggest and most beautiful plot of land in Los Angeles with 360 views. And if you think about it, you know that money compound interest has been sitting there for 150 years, which is why they can spend $80 million on a painting or a rock. And so if you had that sort of ego to make that kind of money, you also have enough ego to want to never die. So are you saying that the Rockefellers and the even the, you know, the Elon Musk of the world, you're saying that ego and second death is not a bad thing, or it's a good thing? Because it's like, putting my name on a wall or museum is really about me, not about my family. It's this feels a little selfish, but I'm jealous.

 

Shaahin Cheyene  17:08

Really well library, right. I think if you can act like you matter. Like the story of you matters, like the story of BART matters. Then you start looking at things through a different lens. And you stop worrying about the stupid little petty shit that people get tied up in your in the line to the fucking supermarket and the lady in front of you says, Hey, man, you cut in front of mid lady behind us like hey, man, you cut in front of me. And you know you didn't. But you're fucking King Todd. You have that? 10,000 pounds solid gold fucking sarcophagus. Are you going to worry about this little lady? No. You just smile and waver waver in front of you. And it's fine. It's okay. You're magnanimous you're big, because you have a bigger story. That's what I'm saying. Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs famously in his Walter Isaacson's biography of jobs said he would like to put a dent in the universe. And that's what he that's what he said to people. When he invited him on. I think it was when he invited Scully on to come help him run apple and and he said, Hey, do you want to come and put a dent in the universe with me? That's what he thought. That's what he believed.

 

Bart Baggett  18:31

What's interesting is his sources are recorded, the Steve Jobs has passed on. But just last week, it became the only company to ever be worth a certain amount of a billion was at a trillion dollars. It was it was a it was a landmark of any company in the planet. And if his mission was not to just get rich, if his mission was to make that much impact in the planet, it's fascinating that money chased him. And that's a good takeaway here because so many people toil for dollars and toil for ego and fame in front of the line. You hear it all the time in middle management, people backstabbing each other to get one little step up on the ladder. When here's the guy that just created a company that is now worth more than any company that's ever existed in, at least in America. And his mission was never about money. It was about changing the planet. Do we really all have the luxury of having that kind of value system Shaahin Can Can I really do it? Can the listener really do it? It sounds sounds too big.

 

Shaahin Cheyene  19:36

That's the whole point. We feel like we're too small. And life has a way of dragging you down. Life has a way of just when you think you're ahead of the game of putting you right back in your place. There's a great scene one of my favorite scenes. I love watching this Godfather three. So the Godfather played by who now played by ALPA Chino, he has cleaned the business. They're no longer in the murders and executions business. They're in the mergers and acquisitions business. And they're going to in conjunction with the Pope, the highest holy man in the planet. Going to start this company called society in mobile era, and society and mobile, Laurie is going to whitewash all of their bad deeds of the past, and his children's children and their children's children are all going to be legit. But wait, there's the other families that don't like that. He's spearheading this. And they try to get him in and there's this beautiful scene with chino. I know a lot of people don't like Godfather three. And they don't even consider it one of the better, better godfathers and I have to tell you, you call that wack, you call those people wack because they don't understand. That was always made as a series. And I think there might be a fourth one that Copalis thinking of coming out with or has been talking about. So I'm excited to see that too. But with that said, but Chino does the scene where you look at his face. And he goes, Just when I think I'm out, they pull me back in. And of course, he's got to go in his old toolbox and, and get back into his old way of life again. And I think he has Is this the one where he discovers he has diabetes and has a heart attack or whatever. But you know, it all goes downhill. But the fact is, life is like that. Life is not the way you've seen in Disney movies. Life has a way of ebbing and flowing and there's highs and there's lows, and you'll experience both of those things. But I'm just offering up as a thought that if you start thinking, Hey man, I have a legacy maybe I'm not a Rockefeller, maybe I'm not going to be launching a big penis into space like those those billionaires. Seriously, do they the one does look like a penis? I think it's it's our boy Bezos, it doesn't. 12

 

Bart Baggett  22:06

year old could not miss the phallic symbol. And it's not it wasn't even subtle. I just find this so amusing. I wouldn't have thought it was real. Because I thought I must be reading the onion. Like this cannot really be happening yet. That's what led me you know, he had the conversation that you know what? I wanted to look just like that. That looks a lot like me. I'm Jeff Bezos, and I approve this penis. That must have been the conversation that happened in the control room? Because you can't miss it.

 

Shaahin Cheyene  22:35

Yeah, it's true. I know, Musk publicly gone and said that his also looked like that. But he had a meeting with his engineers, and they spent a lot of time and money making it pointy instead. Because he didn't want it to look like that.

 

Bart Baggett  22:49

So it didn't matter for real life. I wonder if they've ever had some surgery? Well, we're gonna we're gonna move on. We're gonna move on. We're not talking about billionaires. Now,

 

Shaahin Cheyene  22:57

let's go. Yeah, let's move on. So I think I think it's just food for thought. If if we all think to ourselves, hey, we have a legacy. There is something beyond us. You look at the greats, you look at Muhammad Ali. He wasn't fighting for himself, he was fighting for his legacy. He didn't not go to a war, he didn't believe in just for his own good, he knew that people would watch his example. And he knew that he would live far beyond the time where his his body, which eventually ended up being frail, like the rest of ours died off that his story would be told and uttered on the lips of generations and generations. Now, we're not all going to achieve that. But imagine if we thought like that, if some of us thought like that, the things you would do would be bigger, the things you would worry about would be smaller. And the world would be a little bit different.

 

Bart Baggett  24:00

was two thoughts that come to mind. One is the idea of just the perspective. And many, many people like my mom is always just amazed at how I never get ruffled, and only get stressed out about things, you know, and even before she was older, as a tire, it's rent, we have mortgage coming up, we have taxes. And she's like, Why do you never get upset about it? And I've tried to explain her, I just have a perspective. In three years, this won't matter. In five years, it'll matter even less than in 10. We won't even be talking about it. Like I've always had that wisdom to go, what's happening right now is not going to have the same emotional impact. 10 years from now, you're taking it into generations, which is fascinating. So the second thing came to mind was an interesting study that they did on of all people poets. This is from the wild mind, meditation website. And it says the study of language used by poets and poetry is a very personal like, I mean, You're a poet, you're sitting around talking about a lot of interesting things, especially back in the 1800s. It was found that in the study of poets, it was found that those who use words like I, me, and mine, were much more likely to commit suicide than the poets that more frequently used community words like we, us, and ours. And that was fascinating. And people just didn't even want to be here. They were so self absorbed, they killed themselves. And then we go back to Maslow's hierarchy of needs. And we find that people, once they handle their food and their security, their relationships and sex needs, they start thinking about purpose, and community and contribution. Those are the values that move you from like, Oh, my God, how do I feed my family? How do I feed the planet? Yeah, what's so interesting is some of the people, even the people we just talked about, they might have originally started because they want to get rich from PayPal or they wanted to get but you know what? They're changing the planet in profound ways. I don't see anybody we're, we're not talking about the Koch brothers. Like we're not talking about like, how do we take oil and extract it and take their whole countries and bankrupt is one of those people which also have a place in some conversation. But usually, you're not going to get really, really wealthy creating a service that just molest the world. Thank you have to find something that changes it in a powerful way.

 

Shaahin Cheyene  26:26

I think that's pronounced Koch. I think

 

Bart Baggett  26:29

Koch brothers,

 

Shaahin Cheyene  26:30

I believe so. Yeah. Yeah, either one of them died,

 

Bart Baggett  26:33

one of them die. But COC H is always very confusing to me. And and coke sounds like the soda. So I'm trying to avoid any soda references for obvious.

 

Shaahin Cheyene  26:44

Yeah, those guys have an amazing story. You know, one of them bought these bottles of wine like that he thought were from a 1700s 1800s one to belong to like Ben Franklin or something of whiskey or something like that. And it turns out that it was part of this huge fraud of this dude, a gentleman that was, you know, he was like ripping off labels. And he was like a master forger of wine. And there's a great documentary on Netflix about this guy, which is fascinating. But one of those

 

Bart Baggett  27:18

as one of the top forger experts in the world, that's, that's something you should have told me about months ago. That sounds fascinating. Because we only encounter good forgers. Usually, it's somebody whose mother passed away and they fall you don't get like, let's take Ben Franklin's wine, and mistresses letter, like that's good stuff. I could get him behind the show like that.

 

Shaahin Cheyene  27:36

Oh, yeah, check out check out the check out the documentary on Netflix about why I forget what it's called. But it's, it's fascinating about how this guy, you know, manages to slide into the world of high end wine. And what he did was initially he started buying, he had some capital, so he bought like, a few $100,000 worth of legitimate bottles of wine. And they thought, Oh, he's a real player. And he's, you know, slid into the circles like that. And then he starts selling wine. And they're like, Oh, well, he's buying it at these auctions. Turns out, it was all fake. It was the biggest, biggest fraud in the wine industry ever. But all right,

so I'm gonna guess that he didn't end up with a legacy. And he probably ended up in prison. And he didn't end up with a great story at the end. But I haven't seen the documentary.

 

Shaahin Cheyene  28:27

Maybe. Maybe. I mean, that's one way to have a legacy is to be infamous. That's definitely one way to stay immortal. I mean, people do that all the time. That's why you have these, like crazy serial killers. And sometimes, you know, there's copycats a lot of the time, which is a problem that the police have. I listened to the show called The casual criminalist Simon Whistler show, one of the best if you guys are into to true crime, it's one of the greatest shows, and you can you can check that on he talks about like these serial criminals, and kind of how they conduct their their lives of crime. And there are copycats, and there's people who do that kind of stuff for infamy. So yeah, it does. It does work both ways. But you know, definitely short lived, and I'm hoping that nobody who's watching or listening to us, or subscribing to our show is a psychopath. I would hope you are not a psychopath if you're watching this, but if you are, now's a good it's 2022 now so New Year's resolution Don't be a psychopath.

 

Bart Baggett  29:31

I think there's plenty of shows that may have pulled their attention besides, besides this one.

 

Shaahin Cheyene  29:38

Yeah, yeah. So I think, guys as we're getting ready to wrap up, this was a shorter episode for 2022 our first episode of the year. I want you guys to send us comments, comment below what you would like us to see on the show who you would like us to interview if there's a product you'd like us to review. We are Still in the mode of reviewing products, and we will be reviewing a lot of really cool products we've been looking at biohacking devices, which I've been sent a ton of, we've been still looking at the CBD space and CBD oil, CBD rubs everything having to do with CBD very interested in that electronic devices, gadgets, anything that can improve lives we're interested in so keep us informed about that. And we'll also be talking about hacks of how you can make money how you can break through the trap of the hamster wheel of selling your hours and step into a new era where you can create predictable recurring revenue on the Amazon platform. You like that part? Okay, so I've got a story. I'm not doing this just to show you like,

 

Bart Baggett  30:51

is that real money? Or is that just the top two are real?

 

Shaahin Cheyene  30:54

Okay, check it out. None of its real. Okay. No. So you can order this on Amazon, by the way, stacks of cash, stacks of cash. Yeah. So you see these influencers, these YouTube influencers and like tick tock influencers, and they always have cash everywhere stacks of cash, I look at as well, this one isn't that great, but that one doesn't look that good. But this one looks actually really good. Except for the China stamp. That's right on there. It looks really, really convincing. So it's funny, I ordered these, guess where eBay, on Amazon, you can get them on Amazon, they just send you a stack of these prop bells. And it says copy on the back of them. So you know, they're not real. They say copy and like different, different places. And it says not legal tender. So they do the minimum they need to make it seem not real. But I look I wait for the Amazon guy to come. And I have the service that Amazon offers where they can deliver right in your garage. So they have it's on their app. And the guy opens the garage door and I'm sitting there I'm like, Hey, buddy, how are you on some water? I'm always super nice to him water, candy, juice, energy bars, whatever. I take care of those guys, because I know how hard it is doing what they do. And the guy's like, yeah, like you'd never guess what I ordered. He's like, why nobody ever waits for the Amazon guy and then opens the package to show. Interested imagine this guy's delivering all these packages all day long. He doesn't see what's in any of them. So I'm like, I'm gonna show you you want to see he's like, Yeah, I'm like, Yes. And he's like, I don't know, I don't know. He's like guessing like gloves, whatever. And I open it up. And I just pull out a stack like this. He doesn't know what to expect. The guy is like, he's like, he's like, Nah, I'm like, Yeah, man. And then I show him that it's, it's Prop money. But it's funny, guys. So don't believe everything you see, this is all about $10 worth of

 

Bart Baggett  33:00

pitch for you. Because you have an Amazon course. And we were just talking about many of our friends who've gone through it, or my friends went through your course and paid you the money. And they're, they're making money. And so I know that you've got an introductory course for our listeners, I'm going to give away a copy of my book, which is about half of the audiobooks finished. And I'll email it to you for free. But your Amazon course, to me, it's one of the lowest hanging fruits, or the lowest ways to get it doing what I do is kind of hard, like to become certain things and write books and do 1000s of radio shows. But starting an Amazon store, I think can be done by the average person. So how do they get a hold of that course to find out if it's for them?

 

Shaahin Cheyene  33:42

Right. Okay, guys, it's 2022 beginning of the year. We are a day one. As Jeff Bezos says. There's no better time to start an Amazon business and let it create money for you. While you are experiencing life. While you travel like I do, and from wherever the world you find yourself and your family. You can be creating predictable, recurring revenue streams by becoming an Amazon seller. I've got a one hour course it's normally $200 People have been asking me why don't you try it for 1000 bucks for it? Why don't you charge more? It's 200 bucks. Anybody that's listening to this, email me with the code 2022 And I will give it to you for free. My email dark possess dar kz S S and G gmail.com. I will send you the 2022 Amazon mastery Crash Course. And for any of you guys that are interested, my book a billion how he became king of the throw pillow cult is out now. The audible book is done which Bart very lovingly nudged and encouraged me to do so I'm delighted that the audio book is out on audible, so please check that out. And let us know what you think, Bart, if I'm interested in life design or life coaching, let's say from an expert who has worked with millionaires and billionaires in the past, how could I learn more about that?

 

Bart Baggett  35:17

I was having a conversation with a guy named Cole who just won Senate seat or administrate legislation in his home state of Dakota, 23 years old. And he just sat me he's like, Dude, can you give me any more advice on how to be successful? And I was like, I was like, I just gave you 20 million read. And I said, Look, I wrote a whole book on it said, I never be. But I wrote for 30 page books. Can I just give you a copy and he's like, Man, I would love a copy. So I said, Look, write down this URL. It's called Success Secrets of the Rich and happy. Go to get Bart's book.com/free Get Bart's book, he's written two books that you guys sit down with for free, Slash Free. That's the rich and happy book. And while I've got about half of it done, and maybe you can motivate me to finish up the other half of the audiobook, it really covers all the financial and the mental foundations that I've used and I think you've used to, to get from sort of an average life to a life where you're thriving. And so that's probably the first step is download that book check out that eventually we'll be opening up our life design programs for some other entries, but you know, don't spend the money right now.

Bart Baggett  38:04

and I'm Bart Baggett. You guys have a great night and thanks for tuning in. This now I can change it and it's going to change the audio. I don't know if it changed on your end because it was picking up my earphone audio for the entire time. Which is why when I noticed the setting, I recorded it through the microphone. So in other words, we need to test everything ahead of time and you can't stop and change in the middle unless we stop the recording so maybe you could have paused or stopped but just let's keep that no because we're both running the software but I think I saved the show by recording it here. So I think we're going to be in good hands so I got eight minutes I don't think I saved the show dammit What did I do wrong? Damn damn damn damn okay but we can do better not were like oh shoot, but we can do better and I really need to know why this says 720 So we need to investigate that because we want better on both ends yeah

 

39:20

Bart Baggett  39:40

So I'm getting over a cold and I've had to have the vaccines and I just watched a video interview with Ken Timmons and John F Kennedy's son and I'm not sure I'm gonna get the third there's a he's so interesting and weird I'm just saying I listened to three hours and I was just like you know, there's something there's something that resonates I don't know which parts bullshit but I'm a little scared now of Pfizer I'm scared of five more I'm always been scared of Pfizer I already have already have two two fives but I'm not a I'm not an eight year old kid so I doubt I'm gonna get asthma and die but just it scared me a little what you you you're a little younger than me and you might argue to be healthier because you don't drink as much and you also been taking vitamins 20 years Okay, this has been great.
