Is your child's path yours to choose or theirs

I still post my friend's bikini pic because I know if I post my friend's bikini pic, they're gonna post my song that I'm singing.

And, like, how many.

That's just, like, if I comment on their comment, they're gonna comment on mine, and if I comment back, then it adds to my comments on my page.

That's just girl code, though. I don't know if I see that.

You can't tell because I have the COVID of.

I have, like, this look and see how many songs you've posted in the last.

I'll post, like, I'll post, like, one of my guys. If it's, like, really good, if it's not, like, it doesn't change my thought process or anything, then I'm like, like.

My new profile pics.

One song. That was from the kitchen. That was awesome. All right. Welcome to the Real White House podcast. You've just heard all that pre roll. That's pretty much how it all starts. Today, we've decided to roll with our sunglasses on.

Yeah. Because me and Parker started trending.

You do not get to have any opinion. We're starting 15 minutes late.

Because sometimes, though, like, do you honestly, Like, I walk into a store somewhere, and I'm like, I want to be in disguise. Like, I don't want to make eye contact with people. I don't want to take them any of my energy.

But.

But then I feel like that celebrity that's, like, too cool and has their glasses on. So I'm like, this weird. But, like, sometimes it doesn't. It feel like it's like, shields you a little bit. It's like wearing a hat. You wear your hat, like, nice and low, and you're like, nobody can see me. Even though they can. Like, I think it's like. I think it, like, protects your energy a little bit. No.

Yep. Makes you unfuck withable. This is a new.

I kind of think when I see girls like that, I'm like, whoa, easy, Hollywood. Take your glasses off. No one knows or cares who you are.

Yep.

But that's probably what they want.

We are in our house doing our glasses game.

Actually. Where are these glasses?

Bailey, did you steal those glasses?

These are mine. They're Chanel. Get your own.

I bought her those for her birthday.

Oh, yeah, they're my birthday.

Even though I. Even though I technically already bought her a present for her birthday, we went.

Shopping, and her birthday seems like my Amazon orders, they just keep coming in.

They just keep coming in.

Hey, we can't hear you. Because you're now three feet away from your.

I'm the favorite.

You would think as a singer, you would. The mics need to be close to you to sing. You got this. How about you just eat your little thing right now and keep your mic away and then we'll just get. And we'll come back to you here in a second. Parker. Out of question. Starting off today's podcast, a great question comes in with his Hollywood glasses on. With a Hollywood style question off your door, son.

Yeah, I was wondering. So one of the things that I've come into with my business is like, I wonder, like, you guys have so much shit going on. You have the podcast, you have the YouTube, you have Instagram. You have everything under the damn sun. And I feel like you get to a point where it's like, how do you promote it all? Because I feel like my story and my. All my posting is just promotions at this point. It's like, hey, podcast coming out tomorrow. And I also dropped two posts today. And also there's a YouTube channel coming out on Thursday.

Like, but do you think of it as like, yeah, you are promoting, but what you're doing is you're adding value so that then people, like, want to come work with you.

Yeah, but, like, do you follow those pages that just do promotions?

Like, if they're giving me something that I value? Yeah. If they're like, hey, we're like, if it's a podcast that I like or if it's like a hair one, they're like, they're promoting. They're doing a tutorial or whatever, then, yeah, I follow it because they're adding value. If they're constantly pitching, like, hey, I'm awesome. Come sit in my chair. I'm like, you're not. No, I don't care anymore. Because there's no connecting piece there and they're not giving value.

Oh. So, yeah, go ahead.

I follow a girl just because she always has, like, cute, like, cameras and the best, like, filters and the best, like, outfits and, like, the cool plate, knows the cool places. And her stories are just filled with links. Her entire highlights. She has about, like, 20 highlights of just, like, different topics. She links shit at and, like, promotes it.

Yeah, she's doing that. So you. Do you become a professional promoter?

Okay.

The best people in the game are not scared to promote themselves. They're like, I don't care if you already saw this. I always tell my. My. My stylist. I'm like, guess what? You're your number one fan. I'm like, you think you're like, posting too much. But think about it. Like, for me, it takes me like five or six times before I finally see somebody's thing. I'm like, I think I've seen that before. Like an ad I'm feeling like. And they're like, but most people are worried about being annoying. But if you have quality content, you're not really being annoying.

That's fair. So as long as it's quality, you're good. You just promote the shit out of it.

You got a couple of paths. One, just tell different stories. So, for example, instead of promoting your YouTube channel, tell me a story about the car accident. Why? Lesson apply.

Hey, what's up, man?

So I was going to do a podcast with my dad, mom, and my sister, and I was late. Usually I'm on time. Usually my sister's issue, she's late. But there I sat in the intersection waiting at Dana Point. How in the hell does Dana Point have rush hour traffic? That's what I'm trying to figure out. No, it wasn't rush hour. Massive accident, huge collision. Kind of like the collision. My YouTube channel that's about to launch here in two days. If you haven't found out about that, you might not have seen a car accident, be stuck in it like I am today, but you're going to be in some kind of way. Listen to my YouTube channel, man, forever. I've talked about launching this YouTube channel, but one thing is, I also wonder, why is it we always have to slow down and look at accidents? Why is it, why is it we all are just compelled by some kind of chaos? And guess what? Some people say that about my YouTube channel, Chaos. But you'll never know until you check it out. Hopefully I get through this goddamn accident to my parents house before they ban me from my own podcast.

So you put the promotions almost in the story of your life, of what you're dealing.

Yeah, but you make it like. You make it like. Like that's really what you're doing.

Yeah.

So like, oftentimes I'll be like, doing hair tutorials or whatever. And like Isla comes in or Ruby comes in. And I don't pause and get mad. I'm like, all right, say something to the camera. And moms will comment like, oh my gosh, I love that. Like your daughters just like walk in, say stupid shit. Like, mine is the same thing. And I'm like, well. And then I keep going with my lesson.

Ah, I see.

Another thing is Emma Chamberlain. She promotes more towards millennial And Gen Z audience. And her strategy is less on that. Like the storytelling, verbal and storytelling is more on the picture. And what she paints out graphically. Her like, entire feed is just like her coffee brand is what she's promoting, not her YouTube channel anymore. Because that's what's making more money for her. And she like, works like, and does all these like, creative things. It looks like a vogue. Like her, like her version of promoting looks like Vogue pictures. And like, her concepts are always super cool. And like, her photo shoots are always very well done. And it attracts the younger audience because they're like, oh, this isn't someone shoving this in my face. Being like song of the summer. Oh my God, I have the thing for you. I have the whatever, you know, it's like more sly. And I feel like Gen Z specifically hates how shoved in face it is unless it's done like, correctly. So, like, it depends on your audience. You have to know your niche and your audience of who you're promoting to. Because that could work for an older audience, but it might not work for you younger audience. Like, I think the storytelling thing is fine, but like, maybe some of the things you guys do right when you're advertising or networking or not networking, pushing out.

No, that makes complete sense.

Like, I think you just got to be like, authentically. You too.

Yeah.

So like, whenever I'm giving my students feedback, if they look kind of like stiff or like posers, I'm like, dude, like, you're not like that in person. Yeah, like, light, like, lighten up. Like, there's this balance of like, with an over saturation of so much content online, guess what? People want the most to connect and to trust. So if you come across like, almost like too unrelatable or too professional, then they're like, looks a little poser ish, if that makes sense.

Yeah, that makes sense. That's exactly what I'm trying to figure out. I think that it just, you hit like, it hit different capacity points. So like, as I want to rise to 20k a month, there's a lot different aversion that is required of me than what took me to get to 10. So wild. Yeah. And I'm like, okay, cool. But there's a rediscovering yourself in that process too. It's not just like new systems or new like, anything. It's like, no, like, what type of guy do I have to literally live, like, to be paid 20k a month? And that's not the guy that I've been. So now it's like, oh, fuck. Because I'm new shit. And then I'm also promoting everything at the same time.

Ever follow Wes Watson? Yeah, if you just follow his model. I have his blueprint. Like, I hired him. Like, it's fairly simple model. Like, I just give it to you right now. Like, you can see it just on his page. And it's the same model he follows over and over again, from like 6,000 followers to a million plus, given he is on so many podcasts, he travels all the time, and he's on his phone 20 hours a day, literally. Anyone close to him knows he's, like, on his phone all the time. Like Bailey on her phone right now in the middle of podcast. Oh, no, I know. I was just saying. But like, you on there on your phone, that's what he's on. Like, just constantly, no matter what's going on. But his're real simple. What do you have? You have a workout video you post every day, your routine. What's his?

The burpees.

The burpees. He's posted that a thousand times, and people now look forward to it. They want to see him do the fucking burpees.

Why?

Because he's a fucking savage. And they want to see him do 500 burpees because he's a fucking savage. And they feel like a pussy every time they watch it. Here I am watching this reel. I'm fat as fuck. I'm a pussy. One of these days, I'm going to buy his fitness program. So that's one piece. The second piece, he demonstrates. He positions his cars and his wealth. So his shit, his planes.

But that's like, really his stuff.

Like, but that's you in the car, you in the gym. Every day. Every day. And on top of that, what does he do? He does like, a book where he'll talk about something cool, he's learning, and then he pitches. And if you look at his stories, it's the same game. Fitness shit, meaning the result, personal development, some thought quote from a book he's reading and a pitch with a client testimonial. And he follows the same cycle the entire time. If you watch everything he's doing. But the thing is the consistency of it. So I see you at the gym, see, if I kept doing it, I didn't keep doing it with my fitness stuff. Like, you would have seen me just grow, like, over the last, like, 10 months. Well, the same thing with you. Your guys want to see that, right?

Yeah.

So let's pick a rhythm and go. And it's Overwhelming, of course. And it never is gonna stop.

Yeah, it's almost. What's annoying is I hate how consuming it. I hate how consuming it can be because I'm like, I don't. I don't want to be like sucked into my phone all the time.

Yeah.

Right. And there's this. Most people want to just like put content out, but not really, like, comment or engage or like network.

By some people, you mean yourself.

Yeah, a lot of people. A lot of my.

But you.

Me, for sure. But I. I have to make a conscious effort because I'm like, okay, if I want people to like, like my stuff and engage with my stuff, I gotta play the game too.

You never engage.

I never do. I play the game.

I always go and comment on my hairstylist stuff.

You do?

Yeah. And I go. Not like all day, every day because I don't want to be consumed in my phone. But I have like, in the morning I'll jump on socials and always comment and like. And then like usually at nighttime, usually like during like posting hours.

I get that. I have a checklist with my clients and their parents. So cool.

Like, that's who you follow?

Yeah, like, so like, I'll like, if. If like their parent posts something. I'm not the best at it yet, but like, yeah, like. Like it. Or comment just to keep me relevant in their head.

Yeah.

I'll do the same thing with the guys too. It's why my likes are going up because I've been like, I have the academy pushing likes on my post.

Yeah. So it's like ak. Every post you get the same thing from ak.

Yeah.

Nothing original. It's just three fire emojis. Fire, fire, fire.

Yeah, or like from Farouk or whatever.

I've gotten 375 fire, fire, fires. Don't worry, everyone. I can energetically feel them different. AKA you're listening to this podcast right now. Don't worry. Every time you do fire, fire, fire. I know. It's not just because you're quickly trying to make a comment so that you know that you comment on it. I know that there's some spiritual meaning behind each one of these. I'm just trying to decode all 375. Fire, fire, fires.

I have something to say.

I'm guilty. I'm guilty of doing hearts a lot.

But you know, you can send that little love note to ak. He does like the most killer videos of all time, but I get it. But he's like, got so many people to follow too. And there's so many people to pay attention to.

Yeah.

Okay, so I have a question along this.

Wait, bae.

Okay.

Why do you refuse to release. What the.

Why every podcast?

It's not every podcast. Just everyone.

You and dad, though, are, like, not social. You're not social either. You're social, like, to your guys.

But, like, I never claimed to be social. Yeah, you were being social and making comments, and I was like, are we living by the schmo?

I'm social comments. Guess why? Because I'm. My generation. Everyone does the little postie posts. All the girlies are, like, here for the girlies. And, like, they're like, oh, my God. Slay.

Oh, my God.

Yes. Oh, my mommy. Oh, my God. I love you so much. You're my favorite person ever on this planet. Oh, my God. Please give me a kissy, kissy smosh. Mosh.

These are the same ones calling you a bitch.

Do you do that? Probably. Do you do that to their pages?

Not. Not all of them.

Oh, I.

But no, but I'm saying I do the same thing. Why? Because I know that they'll post my post. So if I post my friend's post, like, even though my page is a music page and, like, that's really what it's about, is me and my music and my, like, fashion, I still post my friend's bikini pic because I know if I post my friend's bikini pic, they're going to post my song that I'm singing.

And, like, how many.

That's just.

They're gonna. I comment on their comment, they're gonna comment on mine, and if I comment back, then it adds to my comments on my page.

That's just girl code, though. I don't know if you guys do that.

You can't tell because I have the COVID of.

I have, like, the same.

Go look and see how many songs you've posted in the last.

I'll post, like. I'll post, like, one of my guys. If it's, like, really good. If it's not, like, it doesn't change my thought process or anything, then I'm.

Like, my new profile pics.

Good.

Yeah.

Lots of lights.

One song that was from the kitchen. That was awesome. I got.

She's got one in the past two weeks.

One.

I've done two in the past week and a half.

One.

Two.

I'm really worried you're.

This one.

Really worried your shirt's just gonna fall right off.

This shirt's a little big. I'm supposed to have double.

So we've done fortunately Don't. We've done like maybe five songs in the last three months.

Not.

Why are we not releasing a cover every week?

Let's talk about that Slayer slay.

By the way, I heard the Gen Z translation of the Bible.

Oh my God, it's so funny. I've heard that.

Funniest.

The Gen Z translation of the Bible is so funny. It's actually on point too. It's actually quite like I understood everything.

So let's not avoid the topic here. And the Parker's gonna give us his two cents about why he thinks you refuse to release music.

No, shut up. Listen to me. Hoes.

Okay, so basically hoes are here in attention. Hose up, hose down. Here we go.

So basically the reasoning is I don't know. But I have created a plan this week. I have created a plan. My goal is to do three posts this week on Insta and three posts on Tick Tock. Thank you.

So you, are you releasing songs, releasing music every week? Like a full cover?

I already like do covers.

Why don't we release a cover every week?

That's fine. I did that in the past too.

It doesn't that you released a cover every week. You did it for about a month and it was awesome.

No, I did for about like a.

Year and a half.

Thank you though. Yeah, I did.

That would mean you released like 65 to 70 covers.

Yep.

Mathematically you did not.

Ready. I'm going to count them right now.

You released 15.

I'm going to count them right now.

15 total covers. Parker, why do you think your sister.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.

Hold on.

Parker's going to 17 and she has everything paid for.

19, 20, 20, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68.

Shouting off numbers.

69, 70.

Hold on, hold on.

Wait.

I don't. I don't remember what I was Here.

Here's the problem. Here's the problem that we have to remind ourselves that you're only 17. If I look at what you have done in the last year, just producing yourself and discovering your voice and that I'm like living in the gain, not the gap.

Wow.

So when I When I expect you. So when we're like, why aren't you doing this? It's because we.

Because I live in the gap permanently.

Yeah, he lives in the gap permanently.

Of despair, and I have to remind.

Him of the gains.

I'm never good enough. But that's why.

I don't know what this means, But I like it. I like it.

It's good in business.

Meaning, like, sometimes, like, it can be, like, crippling if you're only focused on, like, where you want to go and you don't appreciate, like, how far you've gone come and the little things that you've done. Like, whenever I find myself getting in a funk and I'm, like, irritated or depressed or don't want to get out of bed, I literally am like, okay, if I told you this, like, a few weeks ago, I'm like, if. If five years ago we looked, just had a glimpse of our life, we'd be like, what are you complaining about? Are you serious? Can you not see the growth? Do you not see where you live? Do you not see your family? Do you not see. You know what I mean? I'm like, so sometimes when I'm feeling in a funk, one of my tricks that I do is I remind myself of how far I've come, and then I'm like, all right, head down. Time to focus tunnel vision. Because it's normal for us to, like, be human and literally, like, kind of be irritated, like, at a lot of things that are not happening. But that doesn't really do anything. It just kind of makes you. For me, it almost, like, sets me back a little bit.

You guys are, like, college friends. Now, I know I haven't been to college, but let me. Let me elaborate here. No, no, no, no, no. You guys are like, our college friends. And here's why is. I heard this girl talking about this, and I was like, that makes sense. I haven't been to college, but that checks out is that, like, in college, you know, you're living with your friends and everything you do, you go out to the bars together, you go to school together, you do all your thingies together, which means, like, if your bestie is dating a guy and you just don't like his personality, then everyone has an input on it. So extremely. Whereas I feel like when you're older and you're. You have friends, like, it probably you're not as involved in people's lives. Like, their decisions don't impact you, like, crazy anymore. It's not like I'm. It's we both hate him or we both have to block him, or we, you know, and so it's like you guys are college friends because, like, I feel like you guys are very heavily in our lives because you guys are parents with, which makes sense why you'd be college friends. But you're like, you're very heavily, like, do this and this is the only way. And then it's just like, oh, I don't feel like really more so you.

I was like, I feel like, if anything, I let my 17 year old drop out of high school and pursue a music career. I definitely don't feel like this way is the only way.

I'm saying in this specific moment with posting and content.

Well, it's, it's. I think it's a parent's responsibility to like, kind of push your kids. And we do it. It's like, it's. We do it out of love. But it comes across negative sometimes. But it's almost like you see who you, like, your kids can become, so you're trying to help them. But sometimes that can come across, like, critical or like, fixing. But like, the intent of a parent is like, it's almost like they see their kids for who they can become.

Yeah.

But for me, like, even with Bailey, like, I remember from the time you were little and like, your personality was very like. I was like, I don't know if I can do this whole mom thing. And I had a very clear voice come to me and say, like, she's not yours, she's mine. She's a gift from me. Like, keep her in the bumper lanes. Like, she's here to teach you as much as you're here to lead and guide her, I was like, so it really took the control element out of parenting for me. And so whenever I'm even like with this whole Nashville thing, when I'm like.

No, Danny can't go.

And you're like, just listen to me. And I'm like, fine. And I finally listened. I'm like, okay. At some level, I. I don't need to be right. And I have to just be like, okay, why? Why do I not want Danny to go? You know, like. And then I'm like, finally I come to this realization. I'm like, yeah. And I told dad all the time, like, even though when you're first dating Danny, I was like, I don't know about this kid. And I was like, in a way, I think he's like, really good for her. Like, he keeps her kind of safe. I'm like, so regardless if this goes anywhere, which I know you're like, I love him. I'm gonna marry him. But I'm like, for right now, it's good. And it doesn't. If. Even if he's not who I expected her to be with or whatnot, I have to appreciate, like, for now, it's good.

I love him. And we're going to Nashville together and I'm gonna go sing some songs.

Well, what I can tell you is.

So I'm gonna answer the question.

Oh, my God.

I'll answer the question.

Oh, park will answer. Okay, go.

Oh, geez.

I was like. Because she. She's got money in her bank. She's got endless supply of sex and. And the supply of fast food. Why would I literally think, why the hell would I post, bro? I have a Beamer. I drive my own, like, my own car. It's nice, it's pink, It's Barbie. I'm a celebrity already in my own head. And at the same time, I can go hang out with my boyfriend 247 and all the time.

And it's also like, at the studio.

There'S no, like, a retired six year old man.

I don't want to work. I want to fucking be. And there's like this, like, this is like. And I'm not putting you on this label, so don't. Like, even for the fricking cameras and shit. No, I did not say it this way, so be fucking clear about this shit. But it's like living a sugar baby life, bro. Why you don't work if you're a sugar baby. You're not. So, like, it's like having expectations for your sugar baby to do something, but then continuing to, like, have everything that she already wants. So why there's no desire. But this is worked hard because I had nothing.

Also, I'm gonna add, I get like, at the studio, I feel like there's no. You get. Like, once you outgrow people. Like, there's like, wait, hold on. My words. I need a word. My words. Hold on. I've outgrown everything. Like, kind of the studio. Like, there is no competition for me. Like, me going on Nashville is like. And that's not in like a cocky, braggy, egotistical way. I'm like, I simply like different levels of everything. And so it's like, it's the people I'm going with. Like, they're great, whatever, like, they're super chill, they're cool artists, but there's no competition. I'm supposed to be the Leader while I'm there, not the competition, like, not have competition there. Like, there's no one in there that makes me push myself because, like, then you can have the talking stick, but, like, there's no one there that makes me want to push myself. And there's no, like, feeling of like.

Oh, like, I need a humble moment.

Better. Yeah. What? Yeah, Well, I just. There isn't. So I want to get into another realm of where there is competition. Okay, go.

So when I'm in the academy and I'm living the warriors way system, and I compare the way that I live the warriors way system to my guys who are 15, 16 years old, 17 years old, is quite easy to beat them. And so what do I do? I don't live the way at the standard of my standard. I live the way at a standard to beat them. And so my level of what I could do is up here, but what I'm actually doing is down here because I'm actually comparing to down here. So if you're in an environment where.

I'm explaining that again, if you were.

In a room with five artists, that absolutely blew you out of the water and you had no chance of competing with these artists and it was not even a question at the table.

Push me.

You would work your ass off. Because you're like, bro, I'm not the king of the castle. When I'm the king of the castle, there's no reason for me to grind. That's why I can't compare myself to my clients. Yeah, I have to be in council with dad, because if I'm not, then I will live at that standard. I already know. I've already done it. So, like, that's where I'm like, yeah. One, I'll tell you straight up, you've outgrown the studio. I'm surprised you've been in the studio for the last three months. And I think that she should be taken out of the studio. That's exhibit one. To do what I told you. Well, I made you a drink yesterday that is going to be just over here. Oh, yes. I had her come over. I said, we're going to have a business meeting. I made her a drink and I.

Talked to her about her koolaid Kool Aid.

Kool Aid drink.

Yes, it was, of course Kool Aid. It wasn't. There's no illegal shit going around here.

I drink Kool Aid.

And in that though, you do that and I'm telling you, you, you'll blow up. And it, it's what every Artist does. You don't like being controlled. You do not like being told what to do. So you're already set up to fail. And you're the best in the room. So go stick yourself in a room where there's people that are better than you. That's the only way you're going to get better. If not, guess what's going to happen. You're going to continue sitting on your throne, which you have been because you're the best.

And it gets so boring.

And you 30, bro.

I know.

And next thing you know, we're going to be talking about how you're like, bro, I'm singing for church instead of, like singing in concerts.

Yeah, we're gonna be listening to you. But it's hard, sister.

It's hard, though, because you have to be self motivated. Like, you know what I mean?

Why are you manifesting that for me?

I'm just.

No offense to her.

We're saying right now that you're on a trajectory that if you don't put yourself in a better environment to win, you're going to end up like my sister.

I know, that's amazing. But instead you could have. I know. Instead of saying that, you could have said, we want to, like. And I know you are, but like, you don't need to say that. You don't need to make like a weird dig. You could just be like, it's not.

A dig, it's a future.

No, I think he's scared.

I know. You don't need to push scarcity, death, or goodness. And it's like, you could just be like, hey, let's come together and find a solution.

That's a pretty big.

I know, I know. I'm not saying she is.

I'm not talking about her body. I'm just talking about music.

Just stop talking.

Stop talking.

This is going about our music going.

So many directions right now. Don't talk right now.

All I'm saying is that instead of saying an ultimatum, I think or whatever. I don't know what the word for this would be, but instead of saying it's this or this being like. And you just don't need to say that. You could just be like, hey, we want to help you so you can become the best.

Here's.

Here's what I was saying.

I got, I got. I got an example for this. It works really well. And it actually is like in marriage sense. So there's a difference. When mom says to dad, hey, I hate your mustache, you need to shave it. Versus, I love how Good. You look. When you are freshly shaved, what is more likely to get you to shave?

Exactly.

That's not going to get you to shave.

I didn't say it that way. I was like, that looks like you're heading out to the trailer. Get rid of that.

But what's dad's main motive? He wants what.

So, well, I decided I like the mustache better for.

Oh, please, no.

Yeah.

So I just grew up my. Drew it out for a few days.

I don't mind.

My friends from Alabama were a little worried. They're like, man, he's coming to the event, he's going.

The only time I ever was spooked was when he had a handlebar mustache.

That's what.

And then all the guys would give him compliments. I was like, this is some creepy.

Like, no, it was just an attention thing. I mean, you, you sometimes post photos. It's like an attention thing. You know, everyone wants their attention thing. Here's what I'll tell you on this topic.

Your boobs.

I was like, okay, here's what I'll tell you though. Like, people get comfortable and that's why it's hard to get out.

Like, you know, and I don't like being comfortable. That's the thing is I just am. I don't know.

But it's hard to get uncomfortable when everything's taken care of and you're the queen of the. Or not. But like you're. You're top and everything's taken care of. It's hard to get uncomfortable when you're driving your pink BMW and everything's paid for and you feel like you're. It's at some level you're like, I kind of like being the best. And to say that I'm going to put myself on another level, I have to submit that I'm not as good as I think I am.

There are people in my world who potentially wise, could be in business, could make 8, 9, 10 million a year take them. But they have settled into living in small towns surrounded by people that move slow. And in that town, they are the cat's meow. And in that world of business, they are the fucking kings. And they do good. They make a million million five a year take home and it's really good. And live in good little cities and little towns and they have a good time and they love it and their lives great. So I'm not even saying that's a bad thing. And then there's like what you keep saying, though. And what you keep saying is going to require something beyond what you've been willing to give. And that's all. And I had that conversation with a couple guys because they want a business partner with me on some deals. And I said, I'm not gonna do it. And they're like, why? And I said, because your expectation is small town Utah. And my expectation is big time la, New York, London, and I don't play small town Utah. So if I partner with you, I'm going to be dragging you. And I'm not interested in dragging you because it's not fair to you because you want small town Utah. And there's nothing wrong with small town Utah. Yeah, nothing. You can go to Maverick gas station every time you want. You can get a coffee. You can buy like five motorcycles. You can do all kinds of cool shit. There's Nothing wrong with St. George, Utah. Southern Utah. Amazing.

But you feel bigger calling.

I have no desire to ever live in St. George, Utah. I have no desire to spend any time in St. George, Utah, outside of driving through to get a coffee at Maverick. That's it. Like, I'll go hang out with some friends that I have there. But to live in a small town, no desire. So this is why you two both have choices. Because it's like, well, who are you gonna be? You're gonna be. I want like New York and London.

And LA and like house and die in the most expensive house.

Then guess what? To pull that off, you're gonna need either marry a rich dude, which is not Danny yet. Danny could become very wealthy and that'd be exciting, but.

Or we're both gonna become very wealthy and slay and just be a power couple. And everyone's gonna be like, I love it.

And here's what I'm telling you.

Your current, your current manifestation does not work without work.

The current behaviors and operating system does not line up with said desire.

Right. So how does. How does this. How do I do this?

Put two shoes on.

I know.

I don't. I actually am writing a song about putting two shoes on.

You do one of two things. You do what dad said. You either reduce your expectations or you accept the truth.

Yeah, you know what? I The two.

Because I had to accept. I was just fucking stuck, bro. Yeah, I was comfortable at 10K.

I was like, well, dude, what were you at before, though? Like, how long were you stuck in a condo? I was stuck at playing video games.

I mean, years. So I don't blame. I don't blame it at all.

Is it because you couldn't see like a Way out, or you were just kind of waiting for your big opportunity?

It's not that I couldn't see a way out. It was that one. I didn't even know there was like, oh, I can believe in myself and I can get on stage and I can talk internally. I didn't. I didn't believe I could get as big as I wish I wanted to. So I was like, I want to be this big. Like, basically like Andrew Tate at Young Guys.

Yeah.

But do I actually see myself that? No. So until I could embody that and be like, yes, I am that guy. That's why every time on the podcast, I'm in a new outfit and I'm like, have these weird glasses or I have these weird things. Like, I'm just always evolving because I'm very clear on it. But in that, it's like, I mean, even. Even with bae, it's like, I get it. Like, you could go anywhere in music, bro. There's so many different niches. There's so many different things. So, yeah, it's hard to be able to pick, hey, this is who I am, and this is what I stand for. It's like, dad chose that at 37 or something like that. Mom chose that in her 30s. I'm like, so to have a 17 year old go, I'm gonna take a stand and I'm gonna be this for the rest of my life in this industry. I mean, that's a big decision. So no wonder you feel anxiety and pressure.

And it's kind of.

I was gonna say, like, because I can see, like, I can see you performing on giant stages, so it's hard to know that, like, I could become this, but I'm not that right now, which means I can see this. But if I don't do the work, I'll never become her. And so you almost have to, like. Like Garrett was saying this in his event the other day. He's like, tony Robbins always says, I built this because of the work that he did. Right. Dad has built his character. I have built this character. But we didn't start this way. If you look at either of us 10 years ago, we physically look like different human being. You guys glue up, and we're like, no, we just found ourselves, you know, through doing the work. So you have to build your character. And it's hard because you can see the person on the mountain, you can see the rock star on the stage, and you're like, she's not there yet. And that's. That's like a Hard task to realize that you're not. You're not as good as you think you are.

Well, and here's. Go ahead.

I was just gonna say that for me, it's more just like, I'm just like. I see myself in playing arenas and I see, like, I have the vision. I know where I want to get to. I just don't know how to there. And so not knowing a clear path of how to get there. I know that's what pisses me off. That's why I don't like it. Let me wait. And then I get, like, anxiety because indis. I'm indecisive. And indecisiveness comes from anxiety. And it's just like a thing that I've had forever is just like, being indecisive because of my anxiety. And so it's like. It's like, I get these ideas, but I'm like, which one's the right.

Which one?

I don't, like, want to make the decisions because I get scared that I'm going to make wrong decisions. And then, I don't know. I, like, feel like I need, like, other people to tell me, like, oh, like, this is, like, the right decision too. Even though I'm like, such nada, like, asking for approval from other people kind of person. But in a way, I am with, like, decision making because I want to, like, almost have someone to blame if shit doesn't go right there.

It is there.

Final thoughts from Parker on this episode. And we're going to continue to roll it here in the next episode. We'll keep the conversation going.

This is part one. We're going to have part two coming soon.

And no, I think final thoughts here on part one. Parker 1.

Thank you for coming to the conclusion of that. Because it's exactly what I used to do all the time, waiting for someone to tell me something to do because if I failed, I could blame them for it. I just realized that, right to bro. It doesn't matter if we're trying to get to Starbucks. Guess what? We can walk. We can take the skateboard, we can take the longboard, we could take the Urus. We could take the Lambo. We could take the Ferrari. Beamer. Doesn't fucking matter. What I know is we could take the skateboard, and halfway up the hill, your leg, you snap your ankle, and next thing you know, I got to put you into the Urus. Yeah, it doesn't matter. All that matters is that we got one step closer to Starbucks. Right? Any way will work. We could Walk. It'll take us 15 minutes. We could take the car. It could take us five. Doesn't matter. As long as we take something and we take a step forward. Now we can adjust because now if we're like five minutes from Starbucks versus 45, we may not need the car. We can park in the parking lot five minutes away and just walk. Who cares?

Yeah.

So there's no design path. There's no right way.

Just go.

It's just even.

That gives me anxiety. I'm like, oh, what am I gonna get then at Starbucks? No. I hate drive throughs. On no in drive thrus, I'll make Danny order because I can't even decide what I want. Like, I don't even know.

Like, I don't even know what cake pop flavors.

I literally have my hood in my glass and I'm like, I'm not going.

Can I have a pink drink?

And then I'm like, wait, actually, can I have a monster?

All right, we're gonna wrap this episode. This is part number one. We have two parts of this series. We're gonna continue down the dialogue here with our children.

Figuring your out.

No, we're gonna part one and part.

Two episode Just go. I don't know.

Okay, good. Well, figuring your out.

Just go.

Sounds like we got two.

We've got a.

We've got a combination here. A cocktail mixed up. Parker's mixer as cocktail station is his new DJ slash bartender.

We're gonna call it build. Build this.

Okay. Build this. We've changed the name four times. The last like four seconds at the end of this episode. Listen, we have a fantastic opportunity for you@warlaunch.com where you can gain access for 30 days for free to all of our deep dive training, live training and coaching with myself as well as our teams as well as access to our software app. Now, almost $11 million into this thing with thousands of people using it every day to learn how to put themselves in power, including my son Parker and what he does in next gen academy and everything he's built over there. Guiding young men. And Bailey, not quite so much. We did a stack or two, maybe three. We'll find out if we can get there. But don't worry, my wife's side doesn't stack either. You can though, and I stuck in my brain.

But the stock is slay.

As you can tell, there's a pattern here. Powerful men, well, they stack and use the warrior tools. The women we stack in our brains.

Because we're more emotionally intelligent. We lead the guides all right, we're out of here.

We'll see you guys here. Here next week.

Bye.

Bye.
