If God Is For Us, Who Can Be Against Us? w/ Tiger Wyte

They don't even know how to communicate, to even begin. Learn how to communicate. Talk to people and read. You do those two things and learn how to save 10% of your money every week. And I'm telling you, if you do those three things right there, within a five year period, you'll see a difference in your life. I teach this principle of communication is greater than love. And what do you mean? Communication is greater than love.

This is Walk to Wealth with your host, john Mendez hey everyone, welcome back to the Walk to Wealth podcast.

If you're tuning in on YouTube or any of the podcast directories, make sure to do yourself one teeny, tiny little favor and make sure to give us a follow, because I don't want you to miss out on any of the amazing guests I got coming on. Without further ado, let's get right into this. One Tiger. For anyone who hasn't had the opportunity to get to meet you, to get to know you yet, brother, Tell us your elevator pitch. You know who are you and what do you do.

Listen, I'm the coach of Mash the Coaches. I'm a wealth generator by nature. I love any way to make money creatively, whether it's real estate, whether it's investing money. You know I'm a great financial not financial, but marriage counselor, because I'm all about. You know the connection with the help made in spouse and how you can generate wealth. So together with my wife we do that kind of thing, helping our communities. We serve the Atlanta Metro area as far as helping out and increasing the neighborhoods out in the Metro area as well.

That's dope, brother, and I definitely got to tap in with you because, aside from Fincon, I may be in Atlanta next year. So next time I'm around in Atlanta, I definitely got to catch up with you. But Tiger man, take us back in a time machine. What was he like growing up? What was Little Tiger like growing up? Man, you said you're a wealth generator by nature. Right, where did that all stem from, man? Take us back in time.

Listen, man, with the way I grew up, I just knew from a young child that I was like okay, it has to be something better. And you know, I guess for me it just kicked in naturally that, okay, I'm the only way I'm going to come out of being poor and help my family or whatever is if I take action. So from like age 10, well, let me go back a little further than that I started working like doing little odds and ends about six years old. Any way I could make any kind of money. 10 years old, I started to just knock on people's doors and say you know what? Can I mow your grass? Just to make money. So it was. So. I was so, so much of a money magnet that in my in high school, I would just pay for my own school clothes and shoes and, you know, books and everything. So my parents didn't have to worry about that, so that I'm having having that naturally. And then, you know, had some things against me, but I'm like I'm not going to let anything stop me. So I continued on. I said you know what I need to get me. You know some real estate. So I was like what's the avenue I can get a piece of real estate early being I don't have any cash military, so I joined the military, got that, you know, 0% down. Got my first house, you know like a year or two in and it's been like that ever since. So that's a little bit about you know a quick version of you know the little me.

Yeah, let me. Let me dive into it a little bit. So you said, at six years old you started making, making some money, right, you started doing a little job to make some money and then around 10, you turned into the neighborhood's best door to door salesman. Pretty much he was out there knocking on doors trying to get new leads, trying to get some business man generating, generating income by any means Necessary. And I want to talk about that a little bit because I always say like I didn't have that naturally. So I always find it fun talking to people who did right. It took me a minute to get into, like this entrepreneurial state of mind where I'm thinking about generating wealth and money. So it's like having asked so early on, like where do you think that stemmed from? Like you said, you always knew you had something bigger. It was there someone in your life, like a grandparent, an uncle or something like that, that was an entrepreneur. Like just have money, or taught you something in the game, or like, like where do you think it stems from?

Honestly, I don't. I didn't have that example in my family. They were more lay, like proletariat's, working. They're working class people that you know, know how to work with their body and not with their minds, and you know they they will leave the world real early because they were sick and all those other stuff. So for me, I guess I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a very visual person. I can talk a lot, but it depends on how I know you. So I'm more of like I can go in the room and just be the quietest guy in the room and I'm very observative. So I saw a lot of things when I was growing up. I'm like that's not good. So, naturally for me, it only takes me one time to see something wrong and I'm like, oh, I don't want to do that. And you know, I just, you know, in my mind I was like just learning. It was like, okay, what can I do? What can I do? I got to earn money. What's the only thing I know? How to do? More grass, you know, and it just it's just went on from there. Man, yeah.

I resonate with that, bro, cause I feel like me growing up as well. It's like I didn't have that set role model to like really follow after. So it's like how I started. You know, making sense of the world was like I just took the parts that I liked about. People try to add that in, add that to the tool bar, and the stuff I didn't like I just try to keep out. I'm like Dan, that's no good, let me. Let me stay away from that, let me not partake in that. You know, and I so similar to you, I was like you know, I was making my way through the world, making sense of the world, but I've seen what other people are doing and trying to see what's good or what's not or somewhere in the middle, and figure that all out and kind of all the people I met, slowly but surely I started adding more stuff to my tool bar and started adding more stuff to the side that I don't like and I try to navigate the world like that. So I resonate with that a lot and I said, fast forward a little bit. You said in high school you was paying for your own books, your own clothes and all that stuff. Like I hear a lot of people right. They start off some of the a lot of people like they'll start off like entrepreneurial and like a lot of people lose it sometime, you know, in their childhood, whether it's middle school or elementary or a lot of people lose it so, like in high school, you know what allowed you to keep that fire going, to keep making the money, to keep hustling? I was playing sports in high school so it was hard to find jobs or anything like that. I cattyed a little bit, but for me it was just always hard to find jobs around my sports schedule. I was always so busy. I was like what was that like being so, you know, interested in getting about that money, being about that money at that age, and for me I remember it was Fortnite, football, basketball. That's about it, man.

Listen, I had a you know a lot of that going on as well, but I was. I learned early on. You have to maximize time or time will maximize you. So basically, I knew that, regardless if I have any downtime, whatever it may be, at that moment I needed money. So how do I make money? I have to use my time to whatever. If I had Saturday and Sunday, to you know, free to work a job, let me use Saturday and Sunday. It's better to have a little bit of money than not have any money at all. And then I had to use the time. So you know, I just learned how to maximize on time and I knew that. You know, unless I put in some action, I'm going to lose time.

Yeah, no 100%, man, you can't make up for last time, either, right. Yeah, Say again no refunds on it. I said no, you can't make up for last time. No refunds on it.

You can't make up for it. So I just have that, naturally, like it's like today. You know, if we don't, you know, enjoy this moment right here, tomorrow one of us could be gone. You never know. We didn't, we didn't. You know value this time we have right here, in this moment.

So yeah, 100%, and so all right. So now fast forward a little bit in your journey. Right, you said you went to the the army, correct?

Yes.

Yes. So you went to the army and within two years, use that 0% down loan and you got your first property. We came a homeowner. So if I'm doing a math right now, what you were like 20, 21 years old almost.

Yes, yep.

Sheesh, all right. So at 2021, you're already a homeowner. Talk about like. What was that? Like signing the data line, like signing that you know closing on that property. What was that experience like for you?

Man, I was lost. I mean, I was, I was I'm not going to say I was lost because I kind of, you know like, knew okay, a little buying process, you know, and I depended a lot on the agent. But at the end of the day, if I would have had someone out there that had some bad intentions, I could have possibly, you know, gotten over because of my ignorance and not knowing a little bit more. So I think, yeah, I was a little scared but I was like man, listen, what's the worst that can happen? At least I'll have a house at the end of the day.

Yeah, no, 100%, man, 100%. So you got your first property and then, from there, where did your story take you? How did you get to like what you got going on now, because I know you got your hands, you know, dabbing in a bunch of little ventures.

Oh man, so to where I'm at now. So I started from the military. I traveled after I exited the military. I traveled around the world, for you know just doing working in Afghanistan, iraq, jordan, I mean you know all the Middle East and you know traveling the world. So I made a lot of money, started making a lot of money, working wise, like it's just a working man, even though I was getting paid a lot of money, I was putting in a lot of time. So that helped me to leverage in real estate. It didn't help me leverage as far as, as fast as I wanted to, because I didn't have really anyone in the United States that knew the game like I knew. I just had the money. So I tried, you know, I just got, you know, a piece of property here and there, as much as I could, and that right there, just helped me out as far as financially hands down. That killed it on top of earning a whole bunch of money. And then I came home from you know, you know some things and you know the war zone and I was like, listen, I'm just going to do whatever I wanted to do and this is how I know, jay, this is how I know for someone. If someone ever comes to me and tells me it's not possible to get something done, I would say straight to their face you're a liar and you're not trying hard enough. Because, literally, man, within the to me coming home, man, I think, man, I did like like five different jobs, I just wanted to do it, just to see how easy it is. And within five years, man, I think I made it to the top of, you know, to the top of each industry, man, without a in like a five year period, just by you know, just by the intention in my mind. So, all the way to Hollywood, everything I put that intention in my mind, put into action and it came to. So that's where I'm at right now, where I, you know, I got to a point where I was telling my wife I'm still crazy young man and I've done everything I want to do in life. What am I supposed to do? I say you know what I might as well. Just, you know, give back, teach people that man, you can do anything you put your mind to. You can make money, you can go do whatever you want to do. You just got to put the action in, have faith in it. And everything else, man, let it work out for you. It will.

Yeah, and a hundred percent man. I feel like we do it, we live and die by a word, right, and it's just like what we say and what we well, it's possible. It's like for me I used to joke around like, and people used to think I was like a narcissist, whatever, but it's like like there's a part of you you have to speak things into existence and, of course, you have to back it by action, because a lot of people talk a good game and not really getting done. So like there's a fine line to thread. But like I used to jokingly say all the time, like I'm genetically elite, right, I'm just, I'm just cut different. Like I used to say it so much that like I got to the point where, like you can't tell me otherwise, like I am genetically elite, like, and it's like after telling yourself just positive things for so long, you start to believe that's who you truly are. And it's like, once you do that, a lot of this stuff is like we're as enslaved to our belief system, whether it's conscious or subconscious. And so I kind of wanted to ask you, because you mentioned, to take it back a little bit right Earlier on it wasn't like too many people in the family that were doing what you're doing now. Right, as you said, a lot of people were, you know, more blue collar right, I'm trying to work with their body or whatever, and not really in the entrepreneurship space at all. So it's like as you were getting on in your journey, like were there beliefs and things that you didn't know were stopping you that randomly popped up as you were going on. Like for me, I know, one of them was like I had imposter syndrome and I even realized it because, like most people in imposter syndrome, it's like, oh, you know, I don't think I'm worthy, I don't think I'm this, and it's like, nah, I'm very worthy, you know, I'm hardworking, I got talent, I got skills, I know what I'm doing, but then when it came to me charging for my courses and stuff like that, I'd always be like, oh no, this is my way of giving back and it was just a cover up because I didn't feel worthy of charging. So it's like things like that that I even ever know what I was dealing with until, like, I started getting more and further along in my journey and things started rising to the surface. So is there stuff for you like, similar to you that you had to overcome and that you found along your way.

Oh, absolutely. Oh, my goodness, yes, absolutely. For me one was, you know, not my father. He didn't graduate high school so, you know, he didn't know how to read. So, being that he didn't know how to read, it automatically transitions on to me because he can only teach me as far as what he knows. So I had that challenge early on, but I didn't let it stop me. Now I'm in tons I mean stacks of books I read and I constantly read and that's what helped me progress. So I had that against me on top of you know, I had this issue with, you know, women and I learned that, man, that is the quickest downfall to any man. You know success is, yeah, you can be here a way up, you know doing great things. But if you don't have your mind focus on that and you know learning how to keep that and you let a woman come in, man, they could possibly to wipe all of that white, wipe all of that away because of the intention in her mind. If her intention is not with your intention, you go and maybe end up losing it. You're going to either either end up serving her intention or she's going to have to serve your intention. Either way, if it's not serving together, if you're going to lose at the end of the day, this is how I see. So that was one. And then, listen, I grew up in. You know the church and I talk about this a lot. You know you know I, I, I watch my mom and I, you know older folks, you know whatever in the church, and so as I'm going and I'm listening to what they're saying, I'm like man. It says that we can have abundance. It says, man, you do things in faith. In faith you can manifest, you can all these other things. Why don't I see that around me? I don't see that a lot in the world. So I knew right then and there being that they're saying this but I don't see it, I had to do something different. So that, right there is what launched me out to just like, just go in opposite direction. And me going in the opposite direction, man hands down, was was one of the best journeys I've ever had. I would not change for anything.

Yeah.

That alone.

No, I feel you on that one. It was like for me. I started going to church around third grade and it definitely helped shape my belief system. I still go to church now. I'm working on getting my relationship back right with God, not that I shifted off course, just that it's not as strong as I feel like it should be or could be filming. So I'm trying to work on that. And one of the things I've been a similar to your point I was just like bro, like the literal first words is like in the beginning. I like God created, like he created bro, like boom, it's like, and if we're made in his likeness, in his image, and if he said let there be light and light came, of course we're not going to do that right, cause we're not omnipotent, we're not all powerful, right, but it's like all right, if we're made in his image, we can do something similar right, at the very least. Right, it may not be as quick, it may not be like instantaneously, but it's like I was similar to you. I'm reading this stuff and, like bro, like how could you say you live in faith and move with such fear and scarcity? Right, and it's like for me, that's something. Me personally, I always just didn't understand. It's like, bro, we literally can have like as long as it's in his plans, like everything that we desire, bro, it's like. But everyone lives as if, like he doesn't got our back, like, oh, I'm too scared, what if I quit my job? What if it doesn't work out Like he says in the book? Right, it's like he works all things out in favor of us, like he's not out to get us. It's like why are we doing moves like as if he is, as if it's not going to all work out, as if there isn't a greater plan or purpose behind it, and like for me, that just part of the reason why I just moved so fearlessly I want to say fearlessly, I would say more courageous, right, because, fearless, I'm scared, just like everyone else. I just move forward in spite of it, right, and it's like I know we got my back. So it's like what's the worst that could happen? Right, that's how I think about it all.

That is the true statement, man, and I know this to be true based off what you're just saying is because I've done it based off of experience, not just reading a book and then coming and teaching something. Listen, I've done it in my, from my wealth, from marriage, from having my children, to just being like. You said something that was interesting about having, you know, a little bit of a relationship stronger with God, but you know, it tells us that God is within us. So when you know somebody, you know. When I coach people, I'm like, okay, if you have a problem with yourself, if you don't have, you know, if you have fear within yourself, you have, you have a fear. You know you're not one with God, because when you're one with God, there is no fear. On the other side of fear, there's courage, and courage creates what Creativity In the beginning God created first. That's the same thing with us. If we don't first, in our minds, think creatively, you cannot implement what God needs for you to do, because what he's in you, he's in your mind. So you got to what, get creative and make it come true. He's going to help you along the way.

Yeah, no, 100%. You know what I mean. Like, one of the deepest things I heard was I got to spend a day with a billionaire. I talked about it on the podcast, but one of the things that he was talking about, like the idea of first creation, second creation and how we all live two lives. Right, the first life is the life we live in our head and the second life is the life that actually plays out, and so, like, where we are today is an accumulation of our past thoughts and, whether we realize it or not, and it's like in order to change our future. How do we change our thoughts now? Right, how do we change the life that's going on up here so that it plays out how we want it to? It plays out like the way that it was meant to play out, and so that's something. Another part and two is I think I got this from David Goggins, but he talked about like you know, he wants to, like when he passes away, and like he's talking to God or whatever. Like. This is David Goggins story, where he's talking about like when I pass away and I'm, you know, talking to God, he's like you know, this is what you were made to be and like he's showing all the stats or whatever he like he wants to break all those expectations, like he want to put so much on the table that, like you know that he just shatters every expectation of what he was supposed to be and like and just do more. And then some and push it and it's like man, if we only got one shot here, man, we might as well give it all. We got man, why is that? You're never going to get to re up on your gas tank, so you might as well drive it to the cars empty right.

It only makes sense, man, and I'm like, oh man, why is it that? It's like, it's like this big thing that everybody has a problem with and it seems like man, it's to me. In my mind, it's easier. What's better than being your best self? If everybody's their best self, what else are we looking for? Because in you being your, you know a better you. You're going to treat everybody like man. Listen, be great. Same thing for me, and the more people that do that wouldn't we be doing? You know, coming together like we are creating, that's fun. That's more fun to me than walking out of my home and then, you know, worrying about that, somebody got a gun in my head or something. That's a lot of fun. But if we can't get that intention in everybody's mind, to say, hey, you're great, this is what I, this is all I teach man, you're great, okay, if you're not at your great, you know potential right now. Still understand that you're great, because greatness begins where you are today, not where you're going in the future. It begins in the mind 100%, man, 100%.

So, bro, let me ask you because you mentioned too, um, about relationships, right, and I feel you said that the the wrong woman or the wrong partner right Could be your downfall Essentially is kind of what you were saying. So it's like a lot of people, especially when you get in an entrepreneur ship man, there's always that balance. Like people was like, nah, I gotta, I gotta figure it out, I gotta get myself successful and established, and then, you know, I'll think about a partner later. And then there's a school of thought and I was like, you know, if I find somebody, I find somebody and I can build with them and we can build something amazing together. So, like, I just want to hear, like, what are your thoughts on both sides of it? You know, because of the, I feel like those are the two main, most popular schools of thought and it's like, all right, become established and then look for a partner or, you know, build with the partner and so you become even more established right Together, as a unit, as a family, as a whole, as one right. So, like, what are your, what's your thoughts on the? You know the different schools of thought.

I mean, I think you could play out either way, but I I would just say, because my wife and I we got, you know, married after we were both established and it worked for us because we kind of had the experience of the world, had the ability to grow individually as people, be independent and all this other stuff, and then come together as one and build up. Because, no matter what and how we look at it, you have to each person has to understand their role. So if we go like biblically, you know, they say it says that the man is the head of the household and the woman is the helpmate. Like it's so hard to say that today, even though I didn't write it. If I say that today, man, I probably will have stones thrown at me from women. Like listen, it's not me, you know.

Yeah.

I think our marriage works out so well because, even though she makes, you know, great money, whatever she understands, like you know, I'm just here to help you and whatever you have vision, because God gives men the vision and when he gives you the vision is you need somebody strong behind you that you can trust, that has your back and it can see the vision too. Because if she doesn't see the vision, then how does she know how to help you? So she has to see the vision and understand that. You know it's there to build you and once she builds you, it's going to help her anyway.

Period yeah.

So I think I would say you know, I would probably you know now I wouldn't put that at the top of my list for sure.

Yeah, I mean that makes sense. That makes sense, like for me. You've mentioned something about like, about the vision, right, and it's like I think what's helped me out is that I have a good sense of where I want to go and I feel like a man with no vision, like a woman, can't stand behind, especially a strong woman, right, Especially, you know, a self-sufficient woman really can't stand behind. And it's just like, even if you don't got it yet, like I don't got it popping off yet, I'm on the way there for me, but it's mainly because, like, I'm just so dialed in as to where the ship is going and it's something that people can get behind. I feel like a lot of times people, especially women, will be willing to go on the journey with you if the vision is there, whether you're established or not. That's what I found for me. I've been with my girl now a little over about to be three years in February, and so it's like it's something that so, for me, worked on it. Back to what you were saying how about how you could get canceled for saying that the woman is supposed to be the helper, right. It's like the support, and it's like men protect the provide, right and that's how the kingdom doesn't get any invaders. And it's the woman's job to then maintain the kingdom right and because if there's nothing the kingdom isn't maintained, then there's gonna be nothing to protect and provide. So it's like both people are extremely important to the role, like the kingdom can't function without either, or but people. I feel like a lot of people nowadays get so butter about like the roles and trying to put people in a confine. And she's like, well, that's literally like naturally our tendencies, like I think it's a lot of. There's like this first world stuff and the privilege that comes with a lot of the ideologies that come now. There's like you put people in, you know, on a shipwreck and we're all stranded out in the ocean and like very quickly we're rewrote back to our natural roles. Man, I feel, and it's like so for me. I mean I just be letting people talk. Man, I'm chilling for the most part, my relationship going strong. My grandparents, they're very traditional, they grew up in DR man, so it's like that was my role model for what a successful relationship looks like. And they've been together longer, almost three times longer than I've been alive. They've been together almost 60 something years. So I'm like man, they gotta know a thing or two. Man, they've been in the game way longer than anyone I know, so, yeah, so I love the fact that you mentioned that, and so I wanted to ask you to kind of pivot back to what we were talking about earlier. So after you got established, you're out with your wife together. You started investing in properties. You started working around the world. You've seen the world and you mentioned something that I really enjoyed and mentioned about giving back to the community. You was like all right, what do I do now? Like I haven't established, I got some stuff popping off now, like I'm getting it going, what's left? I've seen a lot of the world already and one of my quotes I love is the duty of the enlightened. It's to enlighten the unenlightened. I think I told you that when I podcast. I've had a FinCon and it's something that you're living out every day. So it's like what made you want to give back, because a lot of times, especially growing up in the US fortunate community it's always like I got to get up out of here. That's the mindset. It's like I got to make it so I can get out. It's never I got to make it so I can pick us up To put the hand back to revive the community. So like, what kind of inspired that in you to get that started?

Listen, you had mentioned something about the kingdom, and when you understand the kingdom, it's kind of like you have no choice and no obligation because it kind of like naturally should come in once you understand the kingdom. So, being that, I understand the kingdom, that means you have love for everybody, from the richest person in the world to the lowest person on the totem pole. You just in the media, in the media, in the you know a medium in the middle, like hey, let's come together. So I understand growing up poor. I understand how it feels. I understand what it's like to be at a point where you know there's more out there, there's better out there, but you don't have the information. Oh, you can't look at someone and just ask them a question or something like that. I understand that what it's like. So, being that, I understand from that perspective of not having and not understand from a perspective of having. It's not that people that have have it all together, meaning that you know you have people that are very wealthy, you know have everything they want and still miserable. So I can bring a different aspect to them too, like, listen, this is where you may be missing out, at why you don't feel whole with yourself and then on the other side, with you know, a less fortunate proletarius is that you know you can come to them saying listen, were you right today, trust me, it can't get no worse than that, unless you make it worse. So focus on see the light going forward. I'm telling you, if you listen to me, it's going to come through for you. May it will it be tomorrow Probably not, but in time, if you just stick to what I'm telling you. Man, look at me, you're looking at it. You're looking at the truth Right here in front of you, putting in the work. Nobody gave me a handout. I didn't get a big lump sum of money. I didn't play no football, I wasn't educated or, you know, graduated top of my class. None of that. Just by hard work, faith and being truth. See, listen, the truth is the. It says. The truth shall set you free. The truth is within yourself. When you don't know who you are, you can't be free. Free is meaning like man. You got joy when you go home at night, man, you just at peace, you can rest like man. I ain't trippin' about nothing because I'm at peace. That's being truthful with yourself. I try to tell myself, and I depend on my wife to tell me, like, why do you see a weakness in me? Because if you don't tell me where you see a weakness, that the world is guaranteed to tell me where my weakness is at, and I'm not for that. So the truth for sure.

Yeah, that's dope and that's deep too, cause, like that willingness right there, like I don't want that to go over anyone's head, right. But first, before I touch on that point you mentioned too, like in the kingdom, you got to respect everyone's role, regardless of the totem pole, right, and I feel like that's something that everyone should write down. It's like, even whether it's the CEO or the CEO of a company or the janitor, bro, like the job has to get done. And if you try to treat the janitor like they have nothing right, then event like they're going to quit and then you got to do that job yourself. It's like you know, never think you're more than or less than anyone else, cause at the end of the day, oh, we're all one and the same for the most part, right, it just how we use a gift for giving and it's just like. I love that. But to not come back, you mentioned too damn. I just lost my point. I was going to say something about damn. You just said something about what was the last thing you just left off on.

I don't know.

Yeah, I'm so into conversation, bro, like the thought is just coming, man.

No, but I was going to tell you. You know you were talking about the kingdom and the. You know the citizen and you know, and everybody working together, and it says you know it's in. You know, if you read it in Matthew chapter five, it tells you the meek shall inherit the earth. The earth is the kingdom. Who shall inherit the earth? The meek, the humble, the people that are humble, the more people that become humble man, I love you because you, you should love me, just because what we breathe and we, just we, man, whatever same thing for everybody. Once you get that, everybody humbles themselves, no matter what level you're at man, things can change man Seriously.

Yeah, and it's it's it's sparking that movement. I feel like a lot of people are starting to wake up, like the pandemic was like a wake up call to a lot of people and like that kind of sparked this information. And it's like, man, we have to keep on sharing the message, we have to keep on being more in that. I forget who I was talking about this on a podcast man. But it's like, bro, making enough money to be just financially independent is one of the most selfish things that you could do, because you're literally just focused on literally being financially independent, meaning you're making enough money to fulfill your own needs. What about all the other people you could help? Right? And so it's like the lower you set your bar, the more the people who are going to use it for bad means are going to have. And so it's like why not think abundantly? Why not think about it? So you could help the people in any community, so you could help the people in the kingdom, so you can help other people grow to where they got to be. And so it's like a lot of people it's like, oh, but how can I help? I don't have much myself. And it's like you don't need to be much. A lot of people try to posture up. See, that's the problem, and for me I think I said it right before we started this podcast or during our podcast I said I don't got it yet, but not alone. That's not going to stop me from providing game, providing value, because we all know how things that we can help each other, but we all know things that the other person doesn't know, and that's what I was going to say too. I was going to say because you mentioned about helping everybody out and I was going to say no matter how big you get, you always got to remember that you're just a side character in the next man's life. No matter how big, no matter how successful, you're always just a side character, bro. You're the main character in your life and your life only. And so it's like how could you help all these other people get into the role that they're meant to become, to stay in the act about characters and stuff like that man? I've been going on tangents. I don't know where I'm going with any of this. It's just like I get too present in a moment and they're like where is it coming out? You feel me, I don't even know where I was going any day.

No, you cool, but I think I'm trying to say this so I don't get stoned, because I just try to throw things out there to like, just like you throw things out there, not saying, man, I'm intentionally trying to cause some destruction, but, like man, tell me if I'm wrong. I tell anybody. Listen, if I'm wrong, tell me I'm wrong. You ain't got to scream at me or nothing like that, but just like man, I don't know I agree with that. So me growing up and I told you I grew up within these confines of the scripture and the Bible and everything was like you're going to go hailed and everything else right. So I started to dig deep into it and I started to just read it for myself and there is a verse in there that says man, what a man robbed God. Question mark. So I'm asking you will a man rob God? Is it yes or no?

Will a man rob God? This is a deep question, and the fact that you only gave me a yes or no as the answers will a man rob? God, I think a man would.

Exactly. And then it says right after that it says read it for yourself. It's Malachi 3-8, and like up until like 3-10. It says will a man rob God? Question mark. So you have to answer before you go to the next whatever it says next. And it says yet ye have robbed thee. How have you robbed thee in tithes and offering? So for me, I'm like, wait a minute, me being the person, I am like you know, I'm by myself, I'm meditating, thinking like wait a minute, yes, he will. How did he rob me? Maybe, so, maybe I'm so what it calls me to do. In that moment I started to go back and calculate If I would have taken 10% of every bit of money from the time I started earning into the time I'm at right now to, naturally, I would be set free, just naturally. Not having to invest in real estate, not having to do all these, you know, give 15% interest on my money. None of that, just naturally. First thing first. It tells you, god is within you. So if you're not given the first thing first, when you get a paycheck, if you're not given 10% to God, where is he? It says he's in you. So if you're not given 10% to yourself whether it's saving whatever and you're offering yourself something which is make sure you're putting it in the way for a future kingdom for your children, for whatever you could be missing out. I started to think about poor people. I started to think about people that don't have and I'm like that's just something, I'm like that can be an avenue right there. What if that was being taught? What if people were thinking like that how many less poor people will we have? How many less more people will have houses down, payment for houses and food on the table and et cetera, et cetera.

So let me ask you a question, and I thought right, because a lot of people, as you know, in the States are struggling with money and a lot more people could be doing better if they were just more educated on the topic. A lot of people Talk about how much they want money and if you check the time spent, they don't ever look up anything about money, they don't learn about it, they don't read about it, they don't listen about it. They just want more of it and don't know anything about it. Right, but they want more money and say what you're gonna do with it? You don't know how to use it. Bro, like what do you want more money for? And so psych. So let me ask you from like your, first of all, your own personal experience, from not having much to having a lot more Right, and then all the people you've been able to talk to when experience and come in contact with, what have you found is the main difference between the have and the have nots?

One is reading. That's number one. And action. You know you, I, man, I come across so many people that I teach. They're like, oh, they're ready, they're ready. I used to be a trainer, you know, get people in, they ready, they want to lose weight, they're ready, they're ready, they ready. And then you get to the gym, okay, let's just go over here and sit down and have a conversation. That's what they want from me. And I'm like okay, so we're not being a good steward over our time, you're not being a good steward over our money. And I think is for one, especially for a lot of people, is that they don't read. Period hands down. If you don't read, that's number one. If you don't learn how to use the words that come out of your mouth and use that as your first vessel of Whatever you need, you're gonna lose every time and within a lot of man, a lot of communities that I deal with, man, they don't even know how to communicate, to even begin From the beginning. So, communication, learn how to communicate, talk to people and read. Though you do those two things, man it and learn how to save 10% of your money. You know every week, and I'm telling you, if you do those three, if you do those three things right there, within a five-year period You'll see a difference in your life.

No, 100%, man, 100%. I feel like the spoken word is one of the best investments you can. You know you can invest in like, if you learn how to communicate. And that's the problem, like a lot of people, it's like you realize if you're going up against you know, like Go getters, hustlers, people who are really hungry and driven, getting after it, and You're in a situation where it's you versus the next person and you can't communicate well, no matter how good your product is, your services or whatever you got going on is. Communication is everything. So it's like you're always going to lose, but you'll be your level that you kept. That is always going to be way lower than the person who probably is sucks and it's not better than you, but just knows how to talk a good game Right. You're always gonna lose out. And so psych figuring out how to turn whatever you got going on and just add good communication skills to it. Man, I've been spending a lot of money this year to invest in public speaking because, like I started realizing there's a difference between a gift to gab and being able to deliver an impactful message. Like people could talk your head off, and I was one of those people. Like, I can still talk your head off If you let me, but I just know how to give you some games. Now, too, I could give me some game and talk your head off, but, like before, I was just talking people's heads off.

Oh hey, but you're telling the truth, man, and I teach this, and is the principle of Communication is greater than love. Well, what do you mean? What do you mean? Communication is better than it's greater than love. Before God, he said in beginning was the word and where it was with God. So that's communication, right there. So the love come first or communication. Hmm if you're gonna, if you're gonna have a great marriage, you have to communicate. You can't have love if you don't communicate. Same thing for us, man. We get into a creative design, whatever, we can have the creativity in our head all day, but if we don't communicate, you can't share that love. Creating is the love that we're giving to people, but the communication comes first. So I try to teach people, man and I teach this anywhere I go learn how to communicate. The sad part is, man, a lot of people think that they're communicating when they're not hmm, a lot of people will say what they need to say, but when the other person is talking they shut out. They shut out after they hear like a key word and they just don't hear anything. They're ready to respond off the key word.

Selective hearing yes so that is pretty bad.

It's pretty bad. So you know it's a challenge, man, and the you know, the quicker you get to where you need to be, the quicker to everybody else gets the when they need to be. I really think we can make an impact, man, out here in the world, and not just being selfish with it's money. Man, money, you can get it, it's an abundance of it. Man, listen, tell them to go print some more money and we'll have more money. It's everywhere. It's everywhere, man. But you know, I think the issue that we have in the world is that you know more people want more money and they don't know how to give back more money to help other people. And so we could all come up and meet somewhere in the playing field On the 50 yard line shaking hands, something like that you know so. I don't know maybe I'm far out it. I'm far out there man with it. Maybe I don't know, but I'm like man. The only way I can see, if I'm out there and then feel somewhere, it's to communicate that the people see like man. Does that make sense or it doesn't?

Yeah, no, 100%, man, I don't know. Back to your same. And it's like, bro, there's a lot of communication Skills that I learned and picked up on that I realized that I didn't have earlier on. And becoming aware of them, man, it's been changing my life and just opening up so much more opportunities. And it's not about sounding professional just because you have a customer service voice doesn't mean you know how to communicate well, right, that's like that's another thing too, like knowing how to really, as I said, deliver a message, talk to people, listen, right, be receptive. Body language goes into it a lot as well. Then you start getting into, like, like you know the, you know the micro politics of like People and understanding how people react certain things. And, like, you start mimicking and mirroring and reflecting when people are talking. You lean one side, they lean one side, and stuff like that. You can get real deep into communication, because it's not just like the spoken words. Well, a lot that goes into it. But, man, tiger, you dropped a lot of gems to man. You talked about how you started. You know Moan lawns at ten years old door knocking out there. Again after we talked about how you Ended up going to the army, getting your first property in your early 20s man, and then from there, traveling the world doing what you got, going on to the point we're at now giving back to the community, helping people put on, you know, learn about Money, learn about wealth, learn about Communicating and having the right mindset to help get them there, man. So it's like, where can we find you out? Where could we get more of tiger if we wanted to keep up with you? We're gonna connect with you and, just you know, hear more about what you got.

Listen, I'm always dropping something in the beginning of the year. I'm like every week I'm going to be dropping like every day something. You know, if one person watches it and and gets it, you know I'm cool with that. So I'm tiger white w y te on any platform Tiktok, instagram, facebook, I'm there, so you find me there. I just started a coaching, online coaching program when you know guys coming in. We're helping the minority community, the young men. It's for all.

Starting December the 4th, it'll be on my channel as well, so I'm excited about that.

Amazing. That's all gonna be in the chat man. So what I further do, let's get right into the famous five man question. Number one what is the most impactful lesson you've learned in life?

Don't wait for some, don't wait for other people to catch up to you. Don't stop, just keep moving, because if you wait for other people to catch up to where you're at, it's gonna hold you back in time and you would never. It would be time that you would never get back.
