A short spoken piece (YouTube/podcast) arguing that time is the most valuable asset and that common excuses like "I don't have time" mask poor time-management choices. The speaker uses a live audience exercise—having people check their phone screen-time—to show typical social-media use (often ~4 hours/day) and to challenge whether that reflects respecting one’s time, linking time use to the path toward financial freedom.

Time is our most valuable asset. And how you treat time, how you respect time, or disrespect time, is going to make the path of financial freedom either very easy, difficult, or something that you can digest and take action on. One of the first excuses I usually hear is, I don't know, I don't have enough time. Or if I'm speaking on stage, I'll have everyone take out their phone, and then I'll have it go to General, then go to Settings and pull up screen time. And it shows how much time you spend on your phone. That's a gut check moment. Yes. And then, and then I, and then I say, I want you to show your, your phone to the person, how much screen time you spend the last week to the person next to you. Usually you're going to have more than one hour in, in screen time a day. Usually. We all think we're really good at managing our time, but that screen time doesn't lie. That shows how much time you spent scrolling on TikTok, Facebook, Instagram. When you say, do you respect your time? Heck yeah. I spend my time on the important things. All right, take out your phone. Show me screen time. Like, whoa. You average four hours a day on your phone on social media. Is that respecting your time? No, it's not.
