Robyn Ivy:

Hi.

Robyn Ivy:

Welcome back to Solving America's Problems.

Robyn Ivy:

I'm your guest host, Robyn Ivy.

Robyn Ivy:

Today we're doing something different.

Robyn Ivy:

I get to interview one of my favorite people of all time, and kind of like

Robyn Ivy:

a brother to me, Dave Conley, who's living in a support role of Jerremy.

Robyn Ivy:

And I couldn't be happier to meet you Jerremy and

Jerremy:

Likewise.

Robyn Ivy:

I sort of take over your podcast.

Robyn Ivy:

Thanks

Jerremy:

is.

Jerremy:

It's, yeah, it's gonna be so fun.

Jerremy:

So fun.

Jerremy:

I love interacting with new people.

Robyn Ivy:

Yeah, this is great.

Robyn Ivy:

It's great to do a little bit of a, um, friendly takeover

Robyn Ivy:

of somebody else's space.

Jerremy:

Yeah, likewise.

Robyn Ivy:

So for your listeners who don't know who I am, my name's Robin Ivy.

Robyn Ivy:

I'm a life coach.

Robyn Ivy:

I live here in Rhode Island, but travel around the world teaching and presenting.

Robyn Ivy:

And um, I'm a medium and intuitive guide and I host the Robin Ivy podcast

Robyn Ivy:

where we talk about navigating change and creating the life you want while

Robyn Ivy:

you navigate the one you actually have.

Robyn Ivy:

Uh, we dive deep in all sorts of spiritual conversations.

Robyn Ivy:

I talk about thought leadership and really how to change your

Robyn Ivy:

life from the inside out.

Robyn Ivy:

So this felt like a pretty cool place to talk about solving problems and

Robyn Ivy:

all the things you guys talk about.

Jerremy:

Yeah, absolutely.

Jerremy:

I think blending and co-creating both worlds will be, uh, very magical.

Robyn Ivy:

Yeah.

Robyn Ivy:

Cool.

Robyn Ivy:

So, Jerremy, when I was in Miami, um, a couple weeks ago

Robyn Ivy:

with Dave, he said something that's like really stuck with me.

Robyn Ivy:

He said, of all the things that he's learned from hanging out with you, that

Robyn Ivy:

you sang to him, that your relationship to money is essentially the same

Robyn Ivy:

as your relationship to everything.

Robyn Ivy:

And that if you figure out your relationship to relationship, then

Robyn Ivy:

your to money will completely change.

Robyn Ivy:

How true is that?

Robyn Ivy:

And tell me about that.

Jerremy:

Radically true.

Jerremy:

Uh, in my opinion, I, I feel like money is a relationship, energy.

Jerremy:

And one thing that I've noticed for some people, not everyone, but a lot

Jerremy:

of people have commitment problems.

Jerremy:

We have commitment issues, so,

Robyn Ivy:

I can't relate.

Dave:

me either.

Jerremy:

so, you know, picking something and sticking to it like, all right, cool.

Jerremy:

I guess me and you for a long, long, long time is really, really challenging.

Jerremy:

And.

Robyn Ivy:

uh.

Jerremy:

For money that oftentimes can feel the same as well, where you

Jerremy:

get some, but you never feel like it's enough and it doesn't stay with you

Jerremy:

very long because as soon as you get it, you pay all the bills, you pay off

Jerremy:

your debts, you pay all the things.

Jerremy:

And it's like, well, yeah, that's what some I'm supposed to do.

Jerremy:

But then the money doesn't really stay there, just like a relationship might not.

Jerremy:

And you always feel like you're in this circle of the perpetual ness of not ever

Jerremy:

having enough, or the individuals that do actually have plenty of money, not

Jerremy:

recognizing and realizing that they have enough, not feeling like they have enough.

Jerremy:

So it's very much one thing to be rich.

Jerremy:

It's another thing to feel rich.

Jerremy:

It's one thing to have prosperity.

Jerremy:

It's another thing to perpetually create prosperity and to scale it

Jerremy:

and to grow it and to have more of it just like in a relationship, right?

Jerremy:

Having more love and having love expand versus picking someone and

Jerremy:

just dealing with all of their problems again, big, big shifts there.

Robyn Ivy:

Mm-hmm.

Robyn Ivy:

Tell me how you know this.

Jerremy:

Well, I've studied both relationships and money in depth, uh,

Jerremy:

very closely for a long period of time.

Jerremy:

Um, the relationship piece, more from the study of energy, masculine and feminine

Jerremy:

energy and just kind of understanding to the best of my ability, what, what

Jerremy:

embodies an individual, what they carry with them from a day-to-day basis, what

Jerremy:

they actually do, what they say, what they use, and what type of energy that

Jerremy:

is holding within themselves and what the purpose of it is and why they're doing it.

Jerremy:

And then also the money piece kind of happened to me and for me, and then

Jerremy:

ultimately through me and the money.

Jerremy:

Uh, understanding money, understanding how it moves was

Jerremy:

just always fascinating to me.

Jerremy:

I love the stock market since a very little kid and seeing how both

Jerremy:

of them connected was really as I got closer and closer to my wife.

Jerremy:

We got married five years ago in February.

Jerremy:

As that relationship started coming together, it made it a lot more clear.

Jerremy:

'cause she's very much more in your world.

Jerremy:

So she has her doctorate in metaphysics, so she's very, very, uh, she's

Jerremy:

the queen of the Woo, like, as you know, far as you can go into ville.

Jerremy:

My wife is the mayor of, of

Robyn Ivy:

Yeah.

Jerremy:

and

Robyn Ivy:

Uhhuh.

Jerremy:

learning about her world and, oh, you two will have a blast.

Jerremy:

You two will have a blast.

Jerremy:

So she, she loves it.

Jerremy:

But, and then, and then seeing her, her unique struggle when we met about

Jerremy:

charging money for her services.

Jerremy:

Keeping money, how she did it, how she thought about it, and then just having

Jerremy:

really in depth conversations from someone who's way smarter than I am in everything.

Jerremy:

Uh, and then having this back and forth dialogue of why was she struggling

Jerremy:

with growing her business or making a lot more money, or keeping a lot

Jerremy:

of money or feeling safe around money or feeling safe around men.

Jerremy:

And just having this really cool back and forth and just relaying

Jerremy:

it and tying it all to money.

Jerremy:

Yeah, it's been an awesome, awesome journey for the last five or six years.

Robyn Ivy:

So for my people, Jerremy, who've never heard of you and are

Robyn Ivy:

excited to be meeting you like I am, can you give us a little bit of the

Robyn Ivy:

backstory to put yourself in context?

Jerremy:

Yeah, totally.

Jerremy:

I'll do it.

Jerremy:

And three minutes.

Jerremy:

I grew up in Georgia.

Jerremy:

I lived in a very impoverished place.

Jerremy:

Uh, so about as poor as you can grow up in the United States of America.

Jerremy:

I grew up in a single wide trailer tree house.

Jerremy:

With no running water, with no air conditioning in Georgia.

Jerremy:

So it was always hot, it was always sticky.

Jerremy:

Mosquitoes the size of Pterodactyls would

Robyn Ivy:

Uhhuh.

Jerremy:

be my constant companion.

Jerremy:

And I watched a movie for the very first time that changed my life.

Jerremy:

In 1994.

Jerremy:

It was me, my father, and my oldest brother.

Jerremy:

Uh, his name is Jerry Roger.

Jerremy:

And we watched the movie Forrest Gump and 80% of the movie Forrest starts

Jerremy:

recounting the story about how he and Lieutenant Dan are investing.

Jerremy:

So he says, Lieutenant Dan invested into some kind of fruit company and said, we

Jerremy:

don't have to worry about money no more.

Jerremy:

So I said, good, one less thing.

Jerremy:

And that just baffled me at that exact moment, that moment in time.

Jerremy:

It was a beautiful paradigm shift.

Jerremy:

'cause I had never ever heard someone say, you do not have to worry about money.

Jerremy:

So I asked my dad, what is a fruit company?

Jerremy:

Like what's he talking about?

Jerremy:

I have no idea these words.

Jerremy:

And obviously Forrest was talking about Apple.

Jerremy:

They invest into Apple computers.

Jerremy:

And my dad started to the best of his ability explaining what Apple is and what

Jerremy:

the stock market is and what investing is.

Jerremy:

And he told me the a strategy that still works to this day.

Jerremy:

It's in fact probably the easiest way to explain the stock market,

Jerremy:

buy companies that you use.

Jerremy:

Do you understand their products?

Jerremy:

You interact with their money every day or every week.

Jerremy:

And if you continue to like those companies, you keep buying those

Jerremy:

companies, the stock will probably go up.

Jerremy:

And so that advice I kind of carried with me forever.

Jerremy:

So since the age of six, uh, I begged my dad to invest in the stock market

Jerremy:

and he gave me the very, very common answers that most people give when

Jerremy:

we talk about the stock market.

Jerremy:

I don't have enough money.

Jerremy:

I don't have enough time.

Jerremy:

I'm not smart enough.

Jerremy:

Those are the three main ones, right?

Jerremy:

A lot of times it's.

Jerremy:

I just, I don't have any knowledge.

Jerremy:

Like I can't watch the news for 45 hours a day.

Jerremy:

Like, I don't know what you're doing.

Jerremy:

I don't know how to do this.

Jerremy:

And my answer is always, well, it's very easy, right?

Jerremy:

Wealth is second grade math repeated consistently and

Robyn Ivy:

That's good news.

Jerremy:

It is.

Jerremy:

And so once you, but the word is consistent, right?

Jerremy:

It's, it's a repetition.

Jerremy:

It's a repetition.

Jerremy:

So we're all smart enough because Robin, you got an A in second grade math.

Jerremy:

Dave got an A in second grade math when we took, uh, in 1912.

Jerremy:

Uh, I got a, I got an A in second grade math.

Jerremy:

Um, we all got A's in second grade math.

Jerremy:

Yeah.

Jerremy:

So

Dave:

Ro Robin, we're not gonna,

Jerremy:

me, me and

Dave:

here.

Robyn Ivy:

are you gonna do?

Robyn Ivy:

Yeah.

Dave:

a year apart.

Jerremy:

no, me, me and Dave.

Jerremy:

I'd always make fun of Dave.

Robyn Ivy:

was born in 1912.

Jerremy:

Yeah.

Dave:

Ah,

Jerremy:

boy.

Jerremy:

Oh boy.

Dave:

God.

Dave:

All right.

Dave:

I'm going everybody.

Dave:

Thanks.

Jerremy:

but Dave's off, Dave's off the podcast.

Jerremy:

He's leaving.

Robyn Ivy:

This is how, this is how you know we're family.

Jerremy:

Yeah, no, I love Dave.

Jerremy:

Um, and so we, we, yeah, I just love the stock market.

Jerremy:

I asked my, like I begged him and begged him and begged him and begged

Jerremy:

him and he eventually caved and said, BR buddy, if you bring me some

Jerremy:

money on match at dollar for dollar.

Jerremy:

And so I went, I picked, uh, blackberries and sold them door to door

Robyn Ivy:

Yeah,

Jerremy:

a dollar a bag and made $1,500 in the summer of 1995.

Jerremy:

And my dad borrowed, matched it, uh, borrowed $1,500 from my uncle Billy.

Jerremy:

We bought $3,000 worth of Apple stock in 1995, and ever since then, I have been

Jerremy:

immersed and I've read book, every book I've been to, every class, every webinar.

Jerremy:

I've spent seven hours of my life, probably every day since the age of 12,

Jerremy:

studying and learning the stock market and diving into it and, and trading it

Jerremy:

every day and interacting with it every day, and helping people from all over

Jerremy:

the world understand it and interact with it, and then grow their wealth from it.

Robyn Ivy:

I think it's so fascinating.

Robyn Ivy:

So like I just said, I'm 51, so five decades on the planet.

Robyn Ivy:

It's so interesting to me how one of us is somehow hardwired

Robyn Ivy:

to turn towards something.

Robyn Ivy:

With great intensity and curiosity that might be a thing that other people

Robyn Ivy:

spend their entire life turning away

Jerremy:

Mm-hmm.

Robyn Ivy:

or

Jerremy:

Mm-hmm.

Robyn Ivy:

You know?

Robyn Ivy:

And when it comes to things like money or metaphysics or politics or solving

Robyn Ivy:

hard problems that feel beyond our own agency, we can either really see that as

Robyn Ivy:

this great opportunity to learn something and to get into that arena with it.

Robyn Ivy:

Or it can be totally the opposite.

Robyn Ivy:

And I love that.

Robyn Ivy:

Now.

Robyn Ivy:

I recognize like nobody has the time to do all of that in every category.

Robyn Ivy:

So thanks for being somebody that does it in that one.

Robyn Ivy:

Because if we all just share those resources with each other, then like none

Robyn Ivy:

of us have to do it at that full throttle unless it's the thing we really wanna do.

Jerremy:

Yeah, totally.

Jerremy:

And to your point, uh, I grew up in a cult.

Jerremy:

I grew up as a Jehovah's Witness for

Robyn Ivy:

Mm-hmm.

Jerremy:

far, the vast majority of my life.

Jerremy:

And I would be terrified to talk to you, you know, 15 years ago,

Jerremy:

um, to talk to anyone that's a medium or anyone that works in the

Jerremy:

energies of something that's not.

Jerremy:

The Bible.

Jerremy:

Right.

Jerremy:

And it was, uh, to, to your point, like we all have things that we

Jerremy:

love and that we focus on, that we energetically align with.

Jerremy:

And the more that we share that gift through the world, the

Jerremy:

more prosperous we will be.

Robyn Ivy:

Yeah.

Robyn Ivy:

Well, and it's interesting 'cause my dad was a Methodist minister and there was

Robyn Ivy:

something about kind of being born behind what I call like that curtain of Oz and

Robyn Ivy:

seeing that discrepancy between being a, a human being who's here to preach about

Robyn Ivy:

God and but also not be God himself.

Robyn Ivy:

And that immediate question of like, huh, well you don't seem to be kind

Robyn Ivy:

of living up to the expectations that you're preaching about.

Robyn Ivy:

As no one could, right?

Robyn Ivy:

But at

Jerremy:

Yeah, of course.

Robyn Ivy:

I was like, I'm seeing some gap here in this thing.

Jerremy:

Hmm.

Robyn Ivy:

and it really opened up a lot of exploration around metaphysical things.

Robyn Ivy:

at the deepest part of that, I really felt catapulted back into like

Robyn Ivy:

Christianity at a very deep place because it's all the same thing really.

Robyn Ivy:

You know, it's all the same thing at the end of the road.

Robyn Ivy:

In my

Jerremy:

Yeah.

Robyn Ivy:

uh,

Jerremy:

It,

Robyn Ivy:

of love that about that.

Robyn Ivy:

Whether it's the energy of money or the energy of God or whatever

Robyn Ivy:

denominational perspective you hold the holier you get, the truer we get

Robyn Ivy:

with the thing, the pure, the energy, it seems like the better it all goes.

Jerremy:

yes, yes, yes, yes.

Jerremy:

Yep.

Jerremy:

Yeah, well that's, uh, I'll bring it up Robin, just so that you

Jerremy:

have more of the context as well.

Jerremy:

And for your listeners.

Jerremy:

The whole reason that I feel compelled and moved and guided and

Jerremy:

pushed towards running for president is because of all of this, right?

Jerremy:

Growing up, Joe's witness, that was a big no-no.

Jerremy:

In fact, they keep away from all politics.

Jerremy:

So one of their biggest, I, I guess, core tenets of belief is

Robyn Ivy:

Hmm.

Jerremy:

be separate from the world as much as possible and only interact

Jerremy:

with it like when you're working.

Jerremy:

So it's very, very, very small.

Jerremy:

And I would be asked all the time at 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, what

Jerremy:

are you gonna do with your life?

Jerremy:

And I would have to make up something.

Jerremy:

Because I already knew the answer like since I was a kid.

Jerremy:

Like, why, just like you, oh, you're gonna go play baseball and become a

Jerremy:

professional baseball, or a firefighter or a movie star or actress or whatever.

Jerremy:

I've always knew that the whole purpose of my life, the ultimate

Jerremy:

goal is to serve at that capacity, to be a leader in that capacity.

Jerremy:

And I was always terrified of that.

Jerremy:

So as after I, I was terrified of the distinction and the separation.

Jerremy:

'cause there couldn't be both in that particular religion.

Jerremy:

So once I left the religion and I realized what a great gift it was for me,

Jerremy:

it kept me safe, it kept me protected, it kept me, uh, from doing really,

Jerremy:

really dumb things because that's how I learned, I learned through mistakes.

Jerremy:

So I was really mistake free.

Jerremy:

For a vast portion of my life, and I don't really have any skeletons in the closet.

Jerremy:

I don't really have anything to be afraid of or ashamed of.

Jerremy:

There's nothing, I didn't do anything.

Jerremy:

I just played basketball with a bunch of witnesses my whole life, you know?

Jerremy:

So I didn't have any, I didn't have any negatives, uh uh, and I started doing

Jerremy:

a lot of the joda spina meditation work, and that's where I met my higher

Jerremy:

self, or the best version of me, or the most disciplined version of me.

Jerremy:

And every time I interact with that beingness, that meanness, uh, I've noticed

Jerremy:

that that's what I'm supposed to do is at least really make an extremely valiant

Jerremy:

effort to live the reason I was created, which is to, again, to serve as the

Jerremy:

president of the United States of America.

Jerremy:

And I thought, just my funny belief that every male.

Jerremy:

That was born, had that desire.

Jerremy:

And I was like, man, I gotta compete against everybody.

Jerremy:

Like this is gonna be hard.

Jerremy:

And the more I start talking to people, the more people I realize

Jerremy:

that nobody wants that job.

Jerremy:

It's like seven dumb dudes, uh, generally want that.

Jerremy:

So that's, that's why I'm here.

Jerremy:

That's why we're here.

Jerremy:

That's why Dave and I are being putting in so much time and energy and effort

Jerremy:

into creating something incredible.

Robyn Ivy:

Well, and it's interesting when you think about serving at scale, like at

Robyn Ivy:

whatever your definition of the highest level is, kind of the fundamentals and

Robyn Ivy:

the foundational things that it's helpful to really understand whether you are in

Robyn Ivy:

full agreement with them or completely not kind of understanding, the, understanding

Robyn Ivy:

the energetics of money and the pain of money and the joy of money and the

Robyn Ivy:

relationality of money or being able to do that in terms of religious experience.

Robyn Ivy:

Whether you agree with things that are more dogmatic or more rigid or you open

Robyn Ivy:

up to something far more, uh, unbounded.

Robyn Ivy:

I think it sets you up well, especially if you're exploring masculine energy

Robyn Ivy:

and feminine energy, because the more we understand about leadership, the

Robyn Ivy:

more we're talking about wholeness.

Robyn Ivy:

And we're talking about being able to access these different parts

Robyn Ivy:

of our own humanity, which we see historically was not the case,

Jerremy:

Yeah.

Jerremy:

Yeah.

Robyn Ivy:

much hiding who they were in hopes that nobody would

Robyn Ivy:

ever find them out, and the level of pressure of imposter syndrome.

Robyn Ivy:

then you play that out at scale in the Congress and the Senate and like

Jerremy:

Uh huh

Robyn Ivy:

who's ever run, who never wants to admit they smoked weed

Jerremy:

Uhhuh.

Robyn Ivy:

something stupid or learned by any misstep of any kind, like, do they

Robyn Ivy:

really think that we don't know that they had to have missed steps somewhere in

Jerremy:

Yep.

Robyn Ivy:

learn something?

Robyn Ivy:

Or are we meant to think they're just buffoons having clearly no experience

Robyn Ivy:

other than something positive?

Robyn Ivy:

You know, the, I think the veil's ready to drop, so,

Jerremy:

I love that.

Jerremy:

Yeah.

Jerremy:

That's beautiful.

Jerremy:

Yep.

Jerremy:

I agree.

Robyn Ivy:

Yeah, I, I think there's so much, there's so much liberation

Robyn Ivy:

in the things that at one point maybe feel like they tie us down,

Robyn Ivy:

and I think that's, I don't know.

Robyn Ivy:

I often think like it was only because I grew up as a preacher's kid, that I

Robyn Ivy:

gave myself the permission to go all the way to the edge of the Woo, which

Robyn Ivy:

I ironically gave me permission to like pray a rosary as a Protestant kid.

Robyn Ivy:

You know, like, I don't, I, I will hope, I will probably pray this rosary every

Robyn Ivy:

day till I die, and who'd have thought?

Robyn Ivy:

But if we're not open to this stuff, whether it's the possibility of becoming

Robyn Ivy:

president or the possibility of leading a family in a different capacity or just

Robyn Ivy:

leading ourself through the world or trying to invest in, in something that we

Robyn Ivy:

don't understand it, what we're here for.

Robyn Ivy:

Right?

Jerremy:

Yeah, I agree.

Jerremy:

Well, let, let's have, I'd like to ask this question, Rob.

Jerremy:

I think it would just be fun,

Robyn Ivy:

Sure.

Jerremy:

uh, as it regards to the stock market.

Jerremy:

Tell me what your beliefs are around it, what fears you may or may not have.

Jerremy:

Uh, just in, in regards to investing in stocks and trading in the markets.

Robyn Ivy:

I tend to, um, go like this and pretend there's

Robyn Ivy:

no such thing as any of this.

Robyn Ivy:

That's been my relationship to all things financial and all things

Robyn Ivy:

relative to financial at all.

Robyn Ivy:

Yeah.

Robyn Ivy:

Um.

Robyn Ivy:

Yep.

Robyn Ivy:

I, I

Jerremy:

That's fair.

Robyn Ivy:

nothing to do with it.

Robyn Ivy:

It terrifies me, but I've learned it, it terrifies me from a place

Robyn Ivy:

of not trusting myself, right?

Robyn Ivy:

Like the, the same, the same fear as an A DHD kid of like,

Robyn Ivy:

I'm not gonna figure it out.

Robyn Ivy:

I'm gonna have to know more than I know I'm gonna have to be a

Robyn Ivy:

different person to deal with.

Robyn Ivy:

It took me a long time of working through a lot of that fear and I think

Robyn Ivy:

I still have a long way to go with it.

Robyn Ivy:

Um, but I did get smart enough to get a financial advisor and a bookkeeper and

Robyn Ivy:

offload it, but then it left me feeling like I'm not in relationship with it.

Robyn Ivy:

else is in a healthy relationship with it, which is better than no one being in a

Jerremy:

Sure.

Robyn Ivy:

it.

Jerremy:

Yeah.

Robyn Ivy:

like, progress.

Robyn Ivy:

Someone is in relationship with this, but it also gets to be me one day

Robyn Ivy:

not hoping they're doing a great job.

Jerremy:

Yeah.

Jerremy:

Yeah.

Jerremy:

I agree.

Jerremy:

Well, that's, I, I, I appreciate you sharing that with us, and I think

Jerremy:

truthfully, that's probably most people's.

Jerremy:

Interaction with it, and it's just scary.

Jerremy:

Uh, I love your awareness of your like, oh wait, I'm scared of it, because

Jerremy:

it's probably gonna be a me thing.

Jerremy:

And that really is.

Jerremy:

I, I think beau.

Robyn Ivy:

percent gonna be a me thing.

Jerremy:

Yeah.

Jerremy:

Well, that's beautiful awareness though.

Robyn Ivy:

more potently.

Robyn Ivy:

It's not only gonna be a me thing, it's gonna be a shame thing.

Jerremy:

Yeah.

Robyn Ivy:

It's not.

Robyn Ivy:

It's like, oh no.

Robyn Ivy:

The only thing I'm ever turning my back on is when it's gonna be a

Robyn Ivy:

shame thing that then is gonna also potentially be compounded with an

Robyn Ivy:

action of consistency thing about a thing I don't feel that much self-trust

Jerremy:

Mm. Love that.

Robyn Ivy:

Yeah.

Robyn Ivy:

Most

Jerremy:

that.

Robyn Ivy:

I'm like, let's go Buffalo towards a storm I'm in.

Jerremy:

Mm-hmm.

Jerremy:

Yeah.

Jerremy:

Well, I hope to have more in depth conversations with you about it because

Jerremy:

I, I believe that there's a lot of healing that goes into that journey

Jerremy:

because the more we understand that world, the more we'll understand about

Jerremy:

ourselves, we start removing and working on and healing that shame a little bit.

Jerremy:

Because really a lot of times it's, uh, it'll be linked to the shame of pleasure.

Jerremy:

Um, 'cause that's what, that's one of the things that money brings into our lives.

Jerremy:

It brings a lot of pleasure.

Jerremy:

Uh, it doesn't have to,

Robyn Ivy:

Oh

Jerremy:

it can bring a,

Robyn Ivy:

me that he, um, he has to spend like, that you, that he has to send, spend

Robyn Ivy:

a certain amount of money just for fun.

Jerremy:

yeah.

Robyn Ivy:

Like one of your rules.

Jerremy:

Yeah.

Jerremy:

Well, I mean, WW when people say money that

Robyn Ivy:

that part, by the way.

Jerremy:

No.

Jerremy:

Yeah.

Robyn Ivy:

There's no evidence so far to suggest that I am not good

Robyn Ivy:

at spending it for fun, actually.

Jerremy:

Yes.

Jerremy:

Yes.

Jerremy:

Well, uh, and, and those, those are both interesting words, right.

Jerremy:

Spending and fun.

Jerremy:

Um.

Jerremy:

Because, yeah, I, I, fun can be pleasurable, but giving

Jerremy:

money away can be pleasurable.

Jerremy:

Um, building, building churches, building schools, building hospitals,

Jerremy:

figuring out ways to circulate it.

Jerremy:

Um, spit out ways to not spend it, but just earn more of it.

Jerremy:

'cause if you give more, you're gonna get more.

Jerremy:

That's the other beautiful law, right?

Jerremy:

Scriptural law in all text is like, you're gonna be provided for the more you give

Jerremy:

and the more you provide for others.

Jerremy:

And that's just also a beautiful recognition.

Jerremy:

So I think that, uh, it's just a beautifully interwoven

Jerremy:

aspect of our lives.

Jerremy:

'cause everyone needs money, right?

Jerremy:

It's not as important as oxygen, but it's right up there.

Jerremy:

It is really, really close, uh, oxygen and currency.

Jerremy:

And when you start playing in both of those worlds, you will start opening

Jerremy:

yourself up for a lot of opportunity, for healing, for expansion, for growth.

Jerremy:

Because yes, to, to make a lot of money and to keep a lot of money, we have to

Jerremy:

become really, really unique containers.

Jerremy:

We have to be a container of someone that can hold all other

Jerremy:

things as well in our life.

Jerremy:

Uh, not only relationships, but also, um, a assets, right?

Jerremy:

Other, other assets.

Jerremy:

Not necessarily only physical assets, right?

Jerremy:

Intangible assets, things that we really step out into the world

Jerremy:

and we're ready to be a big, bold beacon and say, Hey, look at me.

Jerremy:

'cause again, that's what money does, is it amplifies, it amplifies

Jerremy:

everything that it touches.

Robyn Ivy:

Totally.

Jerremy:

Yeah.

Jerremy:

Heck yeah.

Robyn Ivy:

a lot of folks in the financial world talk about how money loves speed,

Jerremy:

Mm-hmm.

Robyn Ivy:

something about money and, and quickness and I, I, my

Robyn Ivy:

coaching practice, when people are bumping up against self-trust.

Robyn Ivy:

That tends to be where they then wanna slow down the speed.

Robyn Ivy:

'cause they're like, I don't feel like I can move quick at a place of not trust.

Robyn Ivy:

And I was like, well then that's gonna be a real setup when

Robyn Ivy:

it comes to money for people.

Robyn Ivy:

If money loves speed, but not trusting ourselves creates a, uh, this, this

Robyn Ivy:

natural inclination to slow down or stop altogether, then we're also

Robyn Ivy:

financially then energetically putting ourselves in a bit of a pickle.

Jerremy:

Yeah, I love that.

Jerremy:

So true.

Jerremy:

Yes, correct.

Jerremy:

Speed is really what, what speed means, is velocity, and then velocity

Jerremy:

generally also means volatility.

Jerremy:

And so you've heard that phrase before, right?

Jerremy:

The stock market, that's a tons of volatility and people are

Jerremy:

like, oh, it's too volatile.

Jerremy:

Don't put me in it.

Jerremy:

Volatility is incredible.

Jerremy:

If you know where you're going.

Jerremy:

Most people don't know where they're going.

Jerremy:

They don't have the clarity, they don't have the intention to sit down and

Jerremy:

go, okay, this is where I wanna go.

Jerremy:

You live in Rhode Island, so if you're gonna come out here to

Jerremy:

Las Vegas and visit me, you're probably gonna be in an airplane

Jerremy:

that's volatile because it's fast.

Jerremy:

But you're gonna choose that overriding a bicycle.

Jerremy:

And it's because one is extremely efficient and the other one's not.

Jerremy:

I think the, the speed of money is also characterized by the speed of ideas, the

Jerremy:

speed of intention, the speed of creation.

Jerremy:

I do secretly judge people when I take them out to a dinner or, or a

Jerremy:

lunch on how fast they can order food.

Jerremy:

You know, how, how long they take to just interact with the world,

Jerremy:

how long they take to interact with the decisions to move.

Jerremy:

Because having speed of clarity and speed of intention and speed of thought

Jerremy:

does mean that you are, and you have the capacity to create a lot more income,

Jerremy:

money, current to or opportunity.

Robyn Ivy:

is there any cost to that that you've noticed?

Jerremy:

Yes, absolutely.

Jerremy:

Because most people will never make the decision.

Jerremy:

They think they will and then they just go, uh, and then they don't.

Jerremy:

Because I, I've heard

Robyn Ivy:

No, I mean

Jerremy:

ca

Robyn Ivy:

fast, like is there to going quickly the opposite.

Robyn Ivy:

Like is there any cost to being to, yeah.

Robyn Ivy:

Is there any cost to going that quick?

Jerremy:

uh, I'm sure there is.

Jerremy:

Yeah, I'm sure there is.

Jerremy:

I think probably the cost would be you get too wrapped up in it and you have

Jerremy:

the inability to be, most individuals are extremely good at human doings, but

Jerremy:

they're not very good at human beings, so that's probably ultimately the cost is

Jerremy:

like they don't know how to turn it off.

Jerremy:

And they're always flying.

Jerremy:

They're always moving.

Jerremy:

They're always perpetually just going, and they're never here,

Jerremy:

and they're never in the now.

Robyn Ivy:

Okay.

Robyn Ivy:

So how do you manage that as somebody who's really good with the energy

Robyn Ivy:

and speed and velocity of money, but also is good at the being part I.

Jerremy:

The best answer I have to that question is I have to schedule it.

Jerremy:

And I don't know if that's the right or the wrong way, but I have to put on, I

Jerremy:

have to put on the calendar and I have to tell my brain and my body and my mind

Jerremy:

this, Hey, this is where we're going this weekend or this day or these hours.

Jerremy:

You're going to sit down and do X, Y, z. I go to seminars very, very often.

Jerremy:

We'll ask people, Hey, who here, raise your hand if you ever, if you have

Jerremy:

ever worked for 12 hours straight?

Jerremy:

And everyone's like, yeah, right?

Jerremy:

They like badge of on.

Jerremy:

They're like, I've done that.

Jerremy:

And they get all excited.

Jerremy:

And then I ask, who here has ever prayed for 12 hours straight?

Jerremy:

And all the hands go down and it's just this, it's just really

Jerremy:

this idea of, Hey man, you know, what are you working so hard for?

Jerremy:

Why?

Jerremy:

Why are you spending all this time and energy?

Jerremy:

Like if you just get closer to.

Jerremy:

Whatever ultimate being that you believe in, you probably will be able

Jerremy:

to close the gap between time and space.

Jerremy:

And if you close that gap between time and space, it's probably

Jerremy:

gonna happen for you faster.

Jerremy:

That's one of the things I love about Joe Dispenza.

Jerremy:

When he says, uh, the, the unknown, like the closer you get to the unknown, the

Jerremy:

absolute unknown, the, the nothingness.

Jerremy:

When you and that nothingness become one, everything in your life will

Jerremy:

manifest into reality instantly.

Jerremy:

For me, that nothingness is everythingness, which is, uh, god or the

Jerremy:

universe or love or ultimate perfection.

Jerremy:

And I think that's just such an awesome, awesome realization where

Jerremy:

the closer you get to that, the faster things will happen for you and I

Jerremy:

wanna get there as much as possible.

Jerremy:

So I think that's a, uh, a fun place to play in.

Robyn Ivy:

I heard these, um, these two women, and I, I forget their

Robyn Ivy:

names, but I, I, if I'm, if I remember correctly, they work for Harvard and

Robyn Ivy:

they're organizational, psychologists, and they were talking about how, um.

Robyn Ivy:

That in organizations that people, uh, they say slow it down to speed

Robyn Ivy:

it up, that that was like a big business ideology for a while.

Robyn Ivy:

Like slow it down to speed it up.

Robyn Ivy:

And they said, no, that's not true.

Robyn Ivy:

Speed it up to speed it up.

Robyn Ivy:

But they said the reason that people don't speed it up in organizations

Robyn Ivy:

is similar to the reason we don't speed it up in our own lives.

Robyn Ivy:

Because if we don't trust the foundations of our systems, of our support networks,

Robyn Ivy:

of what we have in place, she was using the analogy of like a dock pillar where

Robyn Ivy:

like, you're not gonna go running out on the pilings if you don't trust that

Robyn Ivy:

they're in place, but if you know they're in place, you could like haul ass down the

Robyn Ivy:

piling no problem, but without believing that they're, they're trustworthy,

Robyn Ivy:

you're gonna take it much slower.

Robyn Ivy:

And I was like, that's such an interesting thing, especially if we're talking about

Robyn Ivy:

the relationality of the money or our own trust that like we can go fast.

Robyn Ivy:

Because we've got the systems in place because we trust our financial person

Robyn Ivy:

or we trust our knowledge of the stock market, or we trust our ability to

Robyn Ivy:

reassure ourselves if we make a bad move that day and lose money like that,

Jerremy:

Yeah.

Robyn Ivy:

just abandon ourselves.

Robyn Ivy:

Right.

Robyn Ivy:

I thought that

Jerremy:

Yeah,

Robyn Ivy:

an interesting parallel.

Jerremy:

yeah.

Jerremy:

I love that.

Jerremy:

I do.

Robyn Ivy:

How do you set yourself up for the kind of, uh, balance of rigidity

Robyn Ivy:

and flexibility that you need to thrive?

Jerremy:

Well, I think that also comes down to, for me, again,

Jerremy:

again, just being extremely clear.

Jerremy:

I think the person that's most clear and the most intentional will win the

Jerremy:

fastest or the most, or the most often.

Jerremy:

Perfect example.

Jerremy:

If someone says, Hey, I want more money all, all the time, like

Jerremy:

that's their perpetual daily mantra.

Jerremy:

I would love to have more money.

Jerremy:

I would love to have more money If you get a dollar that is more.

Jerremy:

And, but they're not satisfied with a dollar.

Jerremy:

So now they're upset.

Jerremy:

And then they get this anger of not being grateful or not being in gratitude.

Jerremy:

And the way I structure rigidity and also flexibility is one of my mantras,

Jerremy:

I think, is follow my rules like an engineer, and know when to break them.

Jerremy:

Like an artist, there's always these ebbs and flows, right where you have to be,

Jerremy:

you don't wanna be the most dangerous.

Jerremy:

Uh.

Jerremy:

Gardener in a war, you wanna be the most dangerous warrior in a garden like it.

Jerremy:

There needs to be this balance.

Jerremy:

I mean, that's what it all always is.

Jerremy:

There has to be some level of equilibrium.

Jerremy:

Uh, another incredible, for me, just parallel that really shifts in my

Jerremy:

life in a huge way, just if not that long ago, three or four years ago.

Jerremy:

I heard the story differently for the very first time.

Jerremy:

The story about the two wolves.

Jerremy:

The, there's this Chinese father, or, you know, speaking to his younger son

Jerremy:

and his younger son's asking about life and death and good and bad.

Jerremy:

And the dad says that every man, every person has two wolves inside of them.

Jerremy:

The light wolf and the dark wolf.

Jerremy:

And the dark wolf is there for destruction and terror and creating.

Jerremy:

Anger and making things happen through force.

Jerremy:

And then the light wolf is happy and joyful and prosperous, and

Jerremy:

they're always battling each other.

Jerremy:

These two wolves are always fighting each other, and the young boy looks

Jerremy:

at his dad and says, which wolf wins?

Jerremy:

And the dad says, whichever wolf you feed the most.

Jerremy:

Now, I had never heard the word the most before.

Robyn Ivy:

Hmm.

Jerremy:

I always heard whatever wolf you feed, but in reality,

Jerremy:

we all have those two wolves.

Jerremy:

We all have to feed them.

Jerremy:

And so I do a lot of work with men because men, the brokenness

Jerremy:

of any country is in direct proportion to the brokenness of men.

Jerremy:

And if men do not have this way to internally heal, to understand and

Jerremy:

to adopt, it's never women who have created this, oh, I'm gonna go start a

Jerremy:

giant war for more land and more power.

Jerremy:

Right?

Robyn Ivy:

We know it's not us.

Jerremy:

No.

Jerremy:

Yeah, yeah.

Jerremy:

It's, it is not women.

Jerremy:

Right.

Jerremy:

Like it's that internal.

Robyn Ivy:

sure that wouldn't be how we do that.

Jerremy:

We would figure out another way.

Robyn Ivy:

Yeah.

Robyn Ivy:

We're pretty sure we could figure out another path to

Jerremy:

Right.

Robyn Ivy:

and resolution.

Jerremy:

But, but really that, that's a gorgeous recognition that I

Jerremy:

think so many people just skip over.

Jerremy:

It's like, listen, it's not, it's the dudes like they're the

Jerremy:

ones that are ruining everything.

Jerremy:

If there's something that needs to be ruined, leave it up to a

Jerremy:

really angry, egotistical guy and he'll figure out a way to do that.

Jerremy:

Like, that's the big challenge.

Jerremy:

And

Robyn Ivy:

of two, like now grown men, I also think, boy, without

Robyn Ivy:

the men, like men get a bad rap.

Robyn Ivy:

And I'm always like, I always joke that I'd be the first one Vijo, like

Robyn Ivy:

voted off Vagina island because I really stand for men and all that.

Jerremy:

yeah, of course.

Robyn Ivy:

that presence, without that, it would, we would just all be different.

Robyn Ivy:

So

Jerremy:

That's the balance, right?

Jerremy:

That

Robyn Ivy:

important parts of this.

Jerremy:

agreed.

Jerremy:

Agreed.

Jerremy:

And that's the balance.

Jerremy:

The balance is the recognition that we have to be in both places.

Jerremy:

Uh, we have to know how to do both things.

Jerremy:

We have to know how to live in the both worlds.

Jerremy:

Men need to learn how to heal deeply and to to pull their ego

Jerremy:

out and to pull it into light.

Jerremy:

And also be, uh, a, a protector.

Jerremy:

A protector of women, a protector of children, a protector of

Jerremy:

themselves, a protector of their kingdom, the castle, and they have

Jerremy:

to be totally okay to become more.

Jerremy:

Grace to become more kind.

Jerremy:

And I think having the balance and having the blend between all of those

Jerremy:

things we're talking about, which is really the energetics of spirituality,

Jerremy:

of beingness, of who individuals are.

Jerremy:

And you start blending all of that and putting it into money,

Jerremy:

into investing, into politics.

Jerremy:

That is my four corners of like, I can talk about this stuff all day and

Jerremy:

it jazzes me up and it lights me up.

Jerremy:

'cause I know that there are solutions in in this box.

Robyn Ivy:

Yeah, I mean, I think that I've noticed, uh, with women, a pa the

Robyn Ivy:

pattern of like, there's a pattern of not feeling safe and not feeling worthy.

Robyn Ivy:

And those two things then ripple out into, I mean, that becomes

Robyn Ivy:

almost like a filter through which everything, like, it's not safe to

Robyn Ivy:

put themselves out there in the world.

Robyn Ivy:

It's not safe to start the business.

Robyn Ivy:

It's not safe to ask for that amount of money.

Robyn Ivy:

then on the guy side, I see a lot of, not enoughness, like it's, I'm not enough yet,

Robyn Ivy:

so I can't, I don't feel good enough about myself, so I can't start the thing, do the

Robyn Ivy:

thing, be humble or be compassionate or open, It's such a shame to me because if

Robyn Ivy:

we could see ourselves from that position, reassure that in each other, then just

Robyn Ivy:

keep going out and doing the thing, our contributions and our, what we could

Robyn Ivy:

create here altogether, the problems we can overcome are, it's, it's mind blowing.

Jerremy:

Mm-hmm.

Jerremy:

Yeah.

Jerremy:

What, what problem would you like to overcome?

Jerremy:

If you had to pick one that you could just solve tomorrow, what would it be?

Robyn Ivy:

Hunger.

Robyn Ivy:

Hunger to me, hunger.

Robyn Ivy:

Because if you're hungry, I don't care what plans you have,

Robyn Ivy:

I don't care what, I don't care.

Robyn Ivy:

Everything else, if you're hungry, it's over.

Jerremy:

Mm-hmm.

Robyn Ivy:

not doing anything if you're

Jerremy:

Mm-hmm.

Robyn Ivy:

Uh, so I don't, yeah, I just, I can't fathom for me

Robyn Ivy:

how it's 20, 25 and five decades later people are still hungry.

Robyn Ivy:

Like, to me, this was a problem that should have been solved

Robyn Ivy:

by the time I was like 12 years old or long before I got here.

Robyn Ivy:

So the fact that people are still hungry, the fact that we could have this

Robyn Ivy:

many billionaires and hungry people.

Robyn Ivy:

Something is, something is glitchy in the matrix still

Jerremy:

Y yes.

Jerremy:

And not only billionaires.

Jerremy:

So we have this many obese people in the us

Robyn Ivy:

correct?

Jerremy:

like so someone's eating a lot of food.

Robyn Ivy:

have GLP if we have GLP ones and hungry people.

Robyn Ivy:

It's astounding.

Jerremy:

Yes.

Jerremy:

Agreed.

Jerremy:

Like there, like to, to that aspect.

Jerremy:

Like what, how are we getting at this incorrect?

Robyn Ivy:

And I also like, I looked around my house a couple months

Robyn Ivy:

ago and I thought, wow, this is interesting that you can be overwhelmed.

Robyn Ivy:

I could be overwhelmed by the amount of stuff I have to the point that I'm like,

Robyn Ivy:

I gotta get rid of some of this stuff.

Robyn Ivy:

It's so, this is a lot.

Robyn Ivy:

And then simultaneously have any sense of lack in my life.

Jerremy:

Mm.

Robyn Ivy:

Like how interesting.

Jerremy:

Yeah.

Robyn Ivy:

things can sit there together.

Jerremy:

Yep.

Robyn Ivy:

Yeah.

Jerremy:

I love that.

Robyn Ivy:

But hunger, to me, it's always hunger.

Jerremy:

Okay.

Robyn Ivy:

else, don't know.

Robyn Ivy:

If you're hungry and you're cold, don't have somewhere to stay.

Robyn Ivy:

But you can always, like, you can, you can find somewhere to stay.

Robyn Ivy:

If you can't eat, if you have nothing to eat, you're, what are you figuring out?

Jerremy:

Mm-hmm.

Robyn Ivy:

How about you?

Jerremy:

Love that.

Jerremy:

Um.

Jerremy:

Well, I think my main, I believe my main focus is going to be to radically change

Jerremy:

the educational system in the US because

Robyn Ivy:

system?

Jerremy:

Come on Robin, let's go.

Jerremy:

Be careful.

Jerremy:

You're gonna enter my best friend status real quick.

Robyn Ivy:

That's

Jerremy:

I,

Robyn Ivy:

yeah.

Robyn Ivy:

Get

Jerremy:

I agree.

Jerremy:

It's like,

Robyn Ivy:

friends.

Robyn Ivy:

I can come rummage through your cabinets.

Robyn Ivy:

If I need a

Jerremy:

cool,

Robyn Ivy:

way, I'm not,

Jerremy:

cool.

Robyn Ivy:

in the acquaintance level,

Jerremy:

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Jerremy:

I want snacks.

Jerremy:

I'm with you.

Jerremy:

I'm with you.

Jerremy:

Uh,

Robyn Ivy:

get one on the Uber Eats, and we're both grabbing the same, yeah.

Robyn Ivy:

Mm-hmm.

Jerremy:

it.

Jerremy:

Love it.

Jerremy:

Yeah.

Jerremy:

I, I think the, the, our educational system is killing us.

Jerremy:

And it's making us, uh, scared to put kids in school.

Jerremy:

It's making our kids less smart.

Jerremy:

It is making our generation and our populace fatter and larger

Jerremy:

and bigger and more complacent and more docile and less creative.

Jerremy:

And it's helping us memorize things that we never use.

Jerremy:

And I believe that if we sit down and we help our children and we

Jerremy:

help our teachers, and we help our staff become extremely creative

Jerremy:

thinkers, I believe that a lot of our problems do slowly dissipate.

Jerremy:

Just as an example, I mean, you mentioned hunger.

Jerremy:

Obviously that is a component of many, many, many things.

Jerremy:

But if you have enough smart people in schools, in high schools, middle

Jerremy:

schools, colleges, universities sit down and go, alright, let's creatively

Jerremy:

think of these solutions and let's really, really figure out how.

Jerremy:

This one company, this one product, this one creation can solve that issue.

Jerremy:

And we are rewarded as a community globally, but also also here in the US for

Jerremy:

just extremely creative thinking often.

Jerremy:

I think that that's something that really does make a huge, massive impact.

Jerremy:

And we're not, we're not doing that in school, right?

Jerremy:

Our schools are,

Robyn Ivy:

think it's very difficult to get rid of everything that

Robyn Ivy:

fosters creativity in a system, and then expect the people to

Jerremy:

mm-hmm.

Robyn Ivy:

side with their most creative thinking.

Jerremy:

Mm-hmm.

Jerremy:

Yeah,

Robyn Ivy:

Right.

Robyn Ivy:

I am like, well, if we don't support creativity anywhere, and if we don't

Robyn Ivy:

cr if we don't support, um, feedback and unique perspective and socra

Robyn Ivy:

conversations, opportunity for people to have various opinions and debate.

Robyn Ivy:

Gosh, gosh.

Robyn Ivy:

Debate, did I say debate in

Jerremy:

Oh, my good.

Jerremy:

Uh oh, oh, oh.

Robyn Ivy:

my no Lord.

Robyn Ivy:

Yeah.

Robyn Ivy:

What a dangerous concept.

Jerremy:

Agreed.

Robyn Ivy:

you know, how are we gonna do anything creatively?

Jerremy:

Yes.

Jerremy:

Yeah, I'm with you.

Jerremy:

And so I, I can see it extremely clearly is we do make huge changes

Jerremy:

there where we actually have that well, 'cause AI is coming, it's coming.

Jerremy:

And if we don't sit down as a nation and go, alright, AI overlords,

Jerremy:

'cause those, those are the people that Dave battles with every day.

Jerremy:

He battles with the AI overlords.

Jerremy:

If we don't, if we don't start getting ready and prepared as a, as a nation

Jerremy:

and also a civilization for what is coming down the pike in 15 to 30 years,

Jerremy:

people aren't gonna have, they're, they're not gonna be aware to how to

Jerremy:

have jobs, to how to, to how to create.

Jerremy:

They're gonna be extremely complacent.

Jerremy:

And Wally, the kids show the movie that is wildly accurate and hopefully

Jerremy:

never going to happen, but probably is a 200 year dystopian from now.

Jerremy:

That's gonna start happening if we don't get extremely creative on making changes.

Jerremy:

Now

Robyn Ivy:

and Idiocracy is sad that we just watched that a couple

Robyn Ivy:

weeks ago together in Miami, and I said, because I, he's like, have you

Jerremy:

it's a documentary.

Robyn Ivy:

no, I, what we said.

Robyn Ivy:

I was like, in what universe is this actually more like how it is?

Robyn Ivy:

And then it is.

Robyn Ivy:

It just is.

Robyn Ivy:

It is so much more like how it is, which is terrifying.

Jerremy:

Terrifying.

Jerremy:

Terrifying.

Jerremy:

I mean, Crocs is a publicly traded company now, and that's what they're all, all

Jerremy:

the people wearing Crocs in the whole movie, and they were doing it as a joke.

Robyn Ivy:

on Friday night and I turned to my friend and I was like, I don't

Robyn Ivy:

know, I, I don't know what drug this is.

Robyn Ivy:

They're on, I don't, I cannot identify whatever substance has run through

Robyn Ivy:

this place that we didn't take.

Robyn Ivy:

Everybody was at a frequency I had.

Robyn Ivy:

I'm like, I don't know.

Robyn Ivy:

I know most of them, and I don't know what this is, but people were in some

Robyn Ivy:

kind of weird of half Kensington, you know, like they were just kinda

Jerremy:

Hmm.

Robyn Ivy:

there.

Robyn Ivy:

I'm like, this is not normal, but this is very much like that movie.

Jerremy:

Yeah.

Jerremy:

Yeah.

Robyn Ivy:

Yeah.

Jerremy:

what was your,

Robyn Ivy:

feel like it's a rally cry for people who are excited

Robyn Ivy:

and still wanna make a difference.

Robyn Ivy:

Like, how about now

Jerremy:

yes, agreed.

Jerremy:

Dave, what was your, the,

Robyn Ivy:

the team now.

Jerremy:

the big one that stood out to you in Idiocracy?

Jerremy:

Dave,

Jerremy:

was it the pro wrestling president?

Dave:

I, I, I mean the, like, every piece of that thing is like, really,

Dave:

really, this was 20 years ago and here we are living this thing.

Dave:

So it's

Dave:

there.

Dave:

I mean, like, it's, it's, it's bonkers, you know,

Jerremy:

Yeah.

Dave:

think that this is actually happening.

Jerremy:

Yeah.

Robyn Ivy:

the fact that it was 20 years ago is one thing, but the

Robyn Ivy:

fact that it was intended to be the most absurd thing on that would ever

Robyn Ivy:

potentially, ever and ever, ever happen

Dave:

Yeah.

Robyn Ivy:

it, and it's now more like, not this so alarming.

Jerremy:

Dave, chances we could get the creator writers on the show.

Jerremy:

Just have a conversation with him.

Robyn Ivy:

Dax Shepherd,

Dave:

And

Robyn Ivy:

probably.

Dave:

Mac, uh, no, it's, um,

Jerremy:

It is possible.

Jerremy:

I think it's possible

Dave:

It's a mike

Robyn Ivy:

Oh, Mike Judge.

Robyn Ivy:

Got it.

Robyn Ivy:

Mm-hmm.

Jerremy:

do,

Dave:

I'll, I'll reach out.

Robyn Ivy:

Get on that, Dave.

Jerremy:

Get on it, Dave.

Dave:

more people say yes than not, so Yeah.

Jerremy:

Yeah,

Robyn Ivy:

know.

Jerremy:

that's right.

Robyn Ivy:

Um, Jerremy, what do, when you look at the landscape of your life

Robyn Ivy:

in this financial container, what do, what do people, are people get wrong?

Robyn Ivy:

Like, where's the paradigm shift in that?

Robyn Ivy:

You know, like if people are, where are they so close, but getting it all wrong.

Jerremy:

That is a very beautiful question.

Jerremy:

Most individuals, in my opinion, have this extremely u uh, extremely bad belief about

Jerremy:

the co, the combination of time and money.

Jerremy:

And so here's what I mean by that.

Jerremy:

They feel like there is so much time they can do it later.

Jerremy:

And that is true.

Jerremy:

So that that's a truth.

Jerremy:

And since there is so much time and you can do it later, if you start doing

Jerremy:

it now, the later becomes amazing and says you can start whatever you want.

Jerremy:

You can start at 67, you can start at 72, you can start at 84.

Jerremy:

The earlier you start though, the better and easier it becomes.

Jerremy:

That is the truth.

Jerremy:

Most people that I connect with, work with discuss, they go, uh, you

Jerremy:

know, one day, one day, one day.

Jerremy:

And every time I go through my calendar, I never see, one day I see a Monday, right?

Jerremy:

Monday's on the calendar, some days not on the calendar, but

Jerremy:

some Sunday's on the calendar.

Jerremy:

It's like we gotta start doing this as soon as humanly possible.

Jerremy:

'cause you said it, money loves speed.

Jerremy:

Quick, fast example.

Jerremy:

Tons of people will say.

Jerremy:

This is a pretty, pretty open statement.

Jerremy:

I'm not blowing your minds here.

Jerremy:

Apple's done innovating.

Jerremy:

They've created the exact same thing for years, and that company's gonna slowly die

Jerremy:

well for the last two and a half years.

Jerremy:

So if you go back to just July, 2023, I'm just gonna pick a really random time

Jerremy:

that's, you know, relatively relevant.

Jerremy:

July of 2023 on Apple, and until today's price over the last two and a half

Jerremy:

years, apple's up 47% just in value.

Jerremy:

47%. They make $90 million net an hour.

Jerremy:

It's a lot of money.

Jerremy:

It's a lot of money.

Jerremy:

Uh, Google is up 85% since April of this year.

Robyn Ivy:

Wow.

Jerremy:

there, there are some companies that we,

Robyn Ivy:

unbelievable because of the messaging that AI's taking over

Robyn Ivy:

and nobody's using Google, right?

Jerremy:

Mm-hmm.

Jerremy:

I know precisely, yeah.

Jerremy:

That, that messaging is just wrong.

Robyn Ivy:

how it appears.

Robyn Ivy:

Yeah.

Robyn Ivy:

How.

Jerremy:

It's almost never how it appears.

Jerremy:

Yeah.

Jerremy:

Um, so like, it, it's just a really, really, really wild and beautiful

Jerremy:

belief and awareness process that when we start looking at and navigating

Jerremy:

the process, like we need to start investing into assets now because

Jerremy:

you, you do have enough money.

Jerremy:

If you have a dollar, you have enough money to start investing into assets.

Jerremy:

And if you start now, as in today, buying $1 worth of something and

Jerremy:

you can obviously exponentially it to however much you need to

Jerremy:

or want to, or have ability to.

Jerremy:

But, uh, we, we just hired an incredible woman to work with myself and my wife

Jerremy:

and my family to help us out with our time and to give us more leverage.

Jerremy:

And she, uh, her name is Nelly.

Jerremy:

She's really, really sweet.

Jerremy:

And I'm getting her, I mean, she just really just started working with us like

Jerremy:

days ago, and I've already given her a Robinhood account and I'm already teaching

Jerremy:

her how to invest into stocks because I know her background and her background

Jerremy:

is an amazing background, but it's one of, I need to work really, really hard

Jerremy:

for money and I need to spend six hours a week and order to provide for my family.

Jerremy:

And although that is a truth, right?

Jerremy:

We can and we should.

Jerremy:

And there, that's an a possibility.

Jerremy:

What if instead of working 60 hours, we hired her for 40 hours and is paying

Jerremy:

her the exact same amount she was making when she was making 60 hours.

Jerremy:

And then I'm also gonna teach her how to make more money by investing and

Jerremy:

taking some of the capital that we pay her and taking a portion of that.

Jerremy:

Obviously we all have bills in life.

Jerremy:

You take a portion of that and you put it into the Googles, the NVIDIAs, the apples,

Jerremy:

the Teslas of the world, and guess what?

Jerremy:

The value of your, your value, your net worth is going to increase because

Jerremy:

those companies are gonna increase because you're betting on America.

Jerremy:

And I think that's really what people don't understand is when you're buying

Jerremy:

assets, you're, you're betting on the largest, most powerful, most profitable

Jerremy:

country that in, in the existence.

Jerremy:

And if you think that's gonna go away, that's, that's fine.

Jerremy:

You're entitled to that belief.

Jerremy:

I'm just telling you that you're mathematically wrong.

Jerremy:

It's not gonna go away.

Jerremy:

It's gonna get bigger.

Robyn Ivy:

it.

Robyn Ivy:

So putting your money somewhere else is like a way to make sure you're right,

Robyn Ivy:

which is a terrible idea if winning that it means you don't have a country.

Jerremy:

Oh my goodness.

Jerremy:

The quote of the date.

Jerremy:

Yeah, that's it.

Jerremy:

Like, what do you like if you're like, no, I don't wanna do that, so I'm just gonna

Jerremy:

put all my money into like this bunker and guns because the zombies are coming.

Robyn Ivy:

Okay.

Jerremy:

Well, so that means you're gonna be fighting zombies in 20 years.

Jerremy:

Like, that sucks.

Jerremy:

Like, that's not a great world.

Jerremy:

Let's, let's, let's prevent that from happening.

Jerremy:

Let's prevent, prevent the zombies from attacking.

Robyn Ivy:

direct it towards everybody's wellbeing.

Jerremy:

Yeah.

Jerremy:

There you go.

Robyn Ivy:

Yeah.

Robyn Ivy:

all right, so three things that came up when you were saying that is I

Robyn Ivy:

could feel my own like, oh, Lord, well, how am I gonna learn everything?

Robyn Ivy:

I would have to learn about this, because this feels like, I don't

Robyn Ivy:

know what it's taken to learn about parenting 24 years deep.

Robyn Ivy:

My friend is a lot, and I'm like,

Jerremy:

Yeah.

Robyn Ivy:

Is it, do I have to that my inner Sisyphus is like, I'm gonna have

Robyn Ivy:

to grab another boulder and hit the road.

Robyn Ivy:

So how can you pacify that fear in me in a

Jerremy:

yeah.

Robyn Ivy:

I am?

Jerremy:

The, the same way my dad did.

Jerremy:

Where it is as easy as you want it to be, that's, that's what investing is.

Jerremy:

Um, you don't have to learn everything to know something.

Jerremy:

You kinda like anything in life.

Jerremy:

I asked you, how can I connect with my dad who's no longer with us?

Jerremy:

There's probably a easier way, a quicker way that you could guide me

Jerremy:

into, and then there's a probably a more in depth way where if I

Jerremy:

needed to go all the way into it.

Jerremy:

So that's, that's with Juujitsu.

Jerremy:

All right.

Jerremy:

I'm a practitioner, juujitsu.

Jerremy:

I love doing it.

Jerremy:

It's an incredible martial art.

Jerremy:

Uh, I'm nowhere close to good.

Jerremy:

Yeah.

Jerremy:

I'm nowhere close to good.

Jerremy:

I'm terrible.

Jerremy:

I'm a 16 year white belt, but I, I love it.

Jerremy:

It's awesome.

Jerremy:

It's really fun.

Jerremy:

And just like there's levels, I mean, there's learning, chess, picket,

Jerremy:

pick anything in life, pickleball, tennis, football, basketball, soccer.

Jerremy:

You can become an incredibly, incredibly proficient at it

Jerremy:

and become a professional, like an immaculate professional.

Jerremy:

Or you can become someone who's aware and.

Robyn Ivy:

But the difference is that with money, if you get it wrong,

Robyn Ivy:

people have a whole lot of ugh, about getting that wrong in a way.

Robyn Ivy:

You don't care if you get the arm bar wrong in Jiujitsu, I think.

Jerremy:

Yeah, they, they, they can, and I think 'cause wrong is

Jerremy:

back to the whole time thing, right.

Jerremy:

It's gonna, they'll, they'll be right if there's enough time.

Jerremy:

Generally I would say 97%

Robyn Ivy:

Ah,

Jerremy:

the time they will be correct over a long enough time horizon.

Jerremy:

And so when you're putting too short of a time horizon, when I first

Jerremy:

started trading and doing the stuff in the stock market and day trading,

Jerremy:

my family literally lit the same week.

Jerremy:

We're like, alright.

Jerremy:

So are you a billionaire yet?

Jerremy:

Like a bi a, a billionaire?

Jerremy:

No, I have started learning finance a week ago.

Jerremy:

Um, and yeah.

Jerremy:

Yeah, it's just, it's just this fascinating asset and it's

Jerremy:

just fascinating realization.

Jerremy:

I do think that really ultimately for all of us having the ability for it to, to

Jerremy:

make things simple, to make it easy, um.

Jerremy:

For me to you, Robin would be Yes, baby girl, something.

Jerremy:

Go for it.

Jerremy:

Yeah, of course.

Jerremy:

Um, to make it easy would be invest into companies that you know, that

Jerremy:

you use, that you understand, and it could be any, any amount of money

Jerremy:

that, that's really the quick answer.

Jerremy:

And if you do it repeatedly, it will grow.

Jerremy:

So every time you spend, uh, a Netflix account, put the same amount

Jerremy:

of money into the Netflix stock.

Jerremy:

Anytime you buy an Apple iPhone.

Robyn Ivy:

a great idea.

Jerremy:

Yeah.

Jerremy:

Uh, buy some Apple stock.

Jerremy:

Anytime you pull up Google to search, Google, put some money into Google stock.

Jerremy:

Every time you get into it, every time you make a car payment, like

Jerremy:

most people make a car payment to whoever a finance company, Ford,

Jerremy:

gm, Tesla, somebody, Honda Toyota.

Jerremy:

Put a little bit of money into that stock.

Robyn Ivy:

Hmm.

Jerremy:

If you use the realization that we can all be owners rather than

Jerremy:

just consumers, your money will grow.

Jerremy:

So that's a very, very powerful statement, but that's a statement of 100% accuracy.

Jerremy:

You're betting on America, America's gonna win by the companies that you

Jerremy:

use, interact with on a daily basis, and your money will grow over time.

Robyn Ivy:

I love that idea, and I really appreciate you framing that in

Robyn Ivy:

a way that's very pedestrian relatable.

Jerremy:

Yeah, sure.

Robyn Ivy:

makes sense.

Robyn Ivy:

It makes sense why we would do that.

Robyn Ivy:

I can hear the kind of, um, flags of social responsibility of where do I

Robyn Ivy:

wanna, do I wanna be investing in that?

Robyn Ivy:

And at the same time, I think, well, if you're using them, then

Robyn Ivy:

you might wanna be checking in with yourself about that anyway.

Robyn Ivy:

Like, if you don't want to be investing in Apple, then why

Robyn Ivy:

do you have an Apple iPhone?

Jerremy:

Come on, champion.

Robyn Ivy:

want to be

Jerremy:

Oh,

Robyn Ivy:

in

Jerremy:

oh.

Robyn Ivy:

then maybe you don't want to put gas in your car.

Robyn Ivy:

Like I, you know, you're accountable to your money.

Robyn Ivy:

You know, you're accountable to your decisions.

Robyn Ivy:

Like, this is life folks.

Jerremy:

Yes, yes.

Jerremy:

And yes.

Jerremy:

Drink Starbucks or someone else.

Jerremy:

It's up to you.

Jerremy:

I mean, you're all making decisions.

Jerremy:

We're all making choices.

Jerremy:

And exactly what you said, we make the social determination and what's

Jerremy:

responsible and what is valuable for us.

Jerremy:

As an example, I do not personally invest into oil companies.

Robyn Ivy:

Mm-hmm.

Jerremy:

Why?

Jerremy:

I, I just think it's dirty.

Jerremy:

That's all.

Jerremy:

That's it.

Jerremy:

I just, it is physically not clean.

Jerremy:

So if there's someone comes into my house and spills a bunch of oil on

Jerremy:

the floor, I'm gonna notice it, right?

Jerremy:

That's all.

Jerremy:

I just don't think it's super, super clean.

Jerremy:

So I also do invest in, uh, renewable energy systems, right?

Jerremy:

So I have large investments into solar, into solar companies,

Jerremy:

into solar technology, because.

Jerremy:

To me in my, I have no clue how Solar Works.

Jerremy:

Couldn't explain it.

Jerremy:

No idea.

Jerremy:

I don't know how my cell phone works really.

Jerremy:

Like I just click a button and it things happen.

Jerremy:

I, how are we not all using the sun?

Jerremy:

I haven't learned that yet.

Jerremy:

I No clue.

Jerremy:

Can't figure it out.

Jerremy:

It's just this free energy source that just hangs out there.

Jerremy:

No one has to pay for.

Jerremy:

We just boop, put on Bang energy.

Jerremy:

It is kind of mind blowing to me that we don't do that.

Jerremy:

Uh, and, and it's not because oil is gonna run out and there's a, there's a

Jerremy:

finite supply and there's only a little bit, and that I don't even come from

Jerremy:

it from that perspective, I come from the perspective of there's people that

Jerremy:

have to work really, really, really hard and tirelessly to do all of those

Jerremy:

things that need to be done for oil.

Jerremy:

Where you have this ginormous thing.

Robyn Ivy:

ways.

Jerremy:

Yeah.

Jerremy:

Hello.

Jerremy:

Like, and you could just create solar energy for everyone.

Jerremy:

Go, you, you, we, Robin, we can go to the corner of, of Utah or Nevada.

Jerremy:

And, and take out the whole corner of the state and, you know,

Jerremy:

500,000 acres in solar field and all of America's powered by solar.

Jerremy:

That's all it would take.

Robyn Ivy:

I

Jerremy:

I mean, that's a

Robyn Ivy:

you see the level of innovation that they have, but it's, again, it kind

Robyn Ivy:

of goes right back to the willingness to think creatively, to problem solve

Robyn Ivy:

with a way that keeps everybody, um.

Robyn Ivy:

You know, it's not a communist idea to consider everybody's wellbeing when your

Robyn Ivy:

amount of land is finite, but it's, you know, it's easy to prepare it that way

Robyn Ivy:

here, but it's a matter of understanding The resources are limited and

Jerremy:

Yeah.

Robyn Ivy:

need is different.

Robyn Ivy:

You know, like great.

Robyn Ivy:

Use 'em as parking lot cover.

Robyn Ivy:

Why not

Jerremy:

Yes.

Robyn Ivy:

wants their car to be cool anyway.

Jerremy:

Agreed.

Jerremy:

Yep.

Jerremy:

Precisely.

Jerremy:

And I think that those are just, you know, anyway, like that's things for me

Jerremy:

to understand and be, be aware of is it has nothing to do with certain beliefs.

Jerremy:

It has everything to do with, I want things to be easy,

Jerremy:

fast, efficient, simple.

Jerremy:

And the faster we get there as a society and the more we think about it and the

Jerremy:

more we debate and have open discussions where I can just simply disagree with

Jerremy:

you, like me and Dave don't agree on everything, although we agree on a lot

Jerremy:

of things, um, we can have a beautiful, very easy commonality where it's like,

Jerremy:

oh, cool, man, I think you're wrong.

Jerremy:

And you think I'm wrong.

Jerremy:

And high five, dude, it's love you.

Jerremy:

You're awesome.

Jerremy:

But that's like playing poker or playing chess or playing a sport.

Jerremy:

There will be a loser.

Jerremy:

It's okay.

Jerremy:

It's not, doesn't mean that you're a bad person.

Jerremy:

It means that you played a game over a period of time and someone

Jerremy:

lost because of the result was you lost and someone else won.

Jerremy:

Like, that is all right.

Jerremy:

It's okay for that to happen.

Robyn Ivy:

Yeah.

Robyn Ivy:

I really value multiple perspectives.

Robyn Ivy:

I spent like 30 years as a commercial photographer, and the entire career is

Robyn Ivy:

essentially wrapped around the idea that there is no one way to look at anything.

Robyn Ivy:

And in fact, if you're only looking at it one way, you're really

Robyn Ivy:

missing 99% of other possibilities of how to see something.

Robyn Ivy:

it's true about ourselves.

Robyn Ivy:

It's true about like what we think is possible with our money.

Robyn Ivy:

Like if you are also in your fifties, like I learned when I inherited

Robyn Ivy:

some money a handful of years ago, it's like you can start at any time.

Robyn Ivy:

Like you, your own thinking about money or your ability to

Robyn Ivy:

invest is the only limitation.

Robyn Ivy:

Because if you tell yourself that, you're gonna have to pick up the

Robyn Ivy:

Boulder and start going, that's also just a thought you're having.

Robyn Ivy:

It's not necessarily how it has to be.

Robyn Ivy:

That's just one thought you chose to have about what it would be like

Robyn Ivy:

to start getting healthy with money.

Robyn Ivy:

But that

Jerremy:

Mm.

Robyn Ivy:

to change as like, I'm gonna not have ice cream

Robyn Ivy:

at 10 o'clock in the morning.

Robyn Ivy:

Right.

Robyn Ivy:

It's

Jerremy:

Or at night.

Robyn Ivy:

Yeah.

Robyn Ivy:

Or whenever.

Robyn Ivy:

Yeah.

Robyn Ivy:

Or you

Jerremy:

Yeah.

Robyn Ivy:

however.

Jerremy:

Exactly.

Robyn Ivy:

knowing that we're really like a few thoughts away

Robyn Ivy:

from it not being a problem.

Robyn Ivy:

I,

Jerremy:

Yeah.

Jerremy:

Precisely.

Jerremy:

I, I'm, I'm gonna openly share this with all of your listeners too.

Jerremy:

The, the week of like, Christmas week, I'm, I'm, I just eat cookies

Jerremy:

and sugar and just get fat and just do nothing for, for a long time.

Jerremy:

I like it.

Jerremy:

I enjoy it.

Jerremy:

But again, to the point of, I think it should be absolutely okay where we all

Jerremy:

can just sit down and just relax and have a good time and, and do our thing.

Jerremy:

But that's balance.

Jerremy:

That's the, you can schedule it.

Jerremy:

That's the creation ahead of time.

Jerremy:

That's the thought process ahead of time.

Jerremy:

That's what all these conversations are almost always gonna keep coming back to

Jerremy:

is clarity of time, clarity of purpose, clarity of intentionality, knowing how

Jerremy:

to sit down, think and grow rich, right?

Jerremy:

The book is not called Work Harder to Make More Money.

Jerremy:

It's called Think and Grow Rich.

Jerremy:

And so we have to be able to use our thoughts and our

Jerremy:

thoughts can become things.

Jerremy:

And if thoughts become things, then our words create our world.

Jerremy:

And that's why I think it's called Universe, right?

Jerremy:

You are the verses that we speak out loud.

Jerremy:

So if you start speaking to yourself, I do love money.

Jerremy:

Money is incredible.

Jerremy:

What an amazing tool that money is for myself and for my family.

Jerremy:

I want to interact with it and grow it and expand it because it's so awesome and it's

Jerremy:

incredible everything that it does for me.

Jerremy:

You start speaking like that and using those words often daily,

Jerremy:

guess what's gonna happen?

Jerremy:

You're gonna start having a better relationship with money

Jerremy:

and your wealth is going to grow.

Robyn Ivy:

And noticing, I mean, no matter what your circumstances are right now,

Robyn Ivy:

noticing the abundance of blessings.

Robyn Ivy:

And I don't mean that in some kind of like hashtag blessed silliness.

Robyn Ivy:

I mean, truly looking around on a cold day and recognizing like, you are lucky

Robyn Ivy:

enough to have a warm place to be.

Robyn Ivy:

You do have someone to call.

Robyn Ivy:

There is something to eat in the fridge.

Robyn Ivy:

There is, you know, we're so resourced in ways that we just

Robyn Ivy:

don't say thank you enough.

Robyn Ivy:

You know, if, if any of this were to go, we'd care about it.

Robyn Ivy:

So in the moment that we have it, it's really a practice.

Robyn Ivy:

I think it's a devotional practice to just say, I'm gonna be as

Robyn Ivy:

consistent with my acknowledgement of this as I am of the lack of it.

Jerremy:

Mm.

Robyn Ivy:

know, you spent all this time being aware of what's not here.

Robyn Ivy:

What about the practice of like, thank you for what is here.

Jerremy:

Mm-hmm.

Robyn Ivy:

you for what is here.

Jerremy:

Yes.

Jerremy:

Well, you appreciate appreciates as Oprah Winfrey said.

Jerremy:

So you, you, you don't, you don't pray or ask or hope from

Jerremy:

a place of want of I have less.

Jerremy:

Right?

Jerremy:

It's not from a place of lack.

Jerremy:

It's from a place of love.

Jerremy:

Thank you for what I have.

Jerremy:

Uh, I would love more.

Jerremy:

It's a powerful statement.

Jerremy:

Like, I love what I have.

Jerremy:

It's incredible.

Jerremy:

I want more.

Jerremy:

And it doesn't have to be for you.

Jerremy:

You can have more.

Jerremy:

I want more from my cell phone.

Robyn Ivy:

resourced

Jerremy:

Mm-hmm.

Robyn Ivy:

we feel, the, the easier it is to give it away.

Robyn Ivy:

You know,

Jerremy:

Let's go.

Robyn Ivy:

on what we don't have, we're not gonna be giving that much.

Jerremy:

Yes.

Jerremy:

Yes.

Jerremy:

And that's, I love those conversations because I do get a little slack sometimes

Jerremy:

when I get on stage and I say, you're selfish if you do not make enough money.

Jerremy:

Because who are you really, truly, ultimately providing for?

Jerremy:

If you make $40,000 a year and hey, no hate on it.

Jerremy:

I've, I was there for a long time in my life, right?

Jerremy:

The first 20 years of my life, 19 years of my life,

Jerremy:

guess who I was helping?

Jerremy:

No one.

Jerremy:

I, I mean, maybe I would tip a waitress 15%, 10%, but probably not.

Jerremy:

I would find ways to kind of skirt around tips, and I would do things

Jerremy:

that I, I didn't have that much money, so I couldn't circulate it.

Jerremy:

I didn't ever go to

Robyn Ivy:

Hmm.

Jerremy:

charity galas.

Jerremy:

Right.

Jerremy:

I never donated money ever to anyone for any reason.

Jerremy:

I didn't have any, so it's okay to go.

Jerremy:

I love what I have.

Jerremy:

I love my $48,000 a year.

Jerremy:

This is amazing.

Jerremy:

Thank you.

Jerremy:

God.

Jerremy:

Give me more.

Jerremy:

I know, I know there's some available, I know there's more available.

Jerremy:

Let me figure out how.

Jerremy:

Gimme the insight, gimme the wisdom, gimme the knowledge, the path,

Jerremy:

the opportunities, the blessings.

Jerremy:

Give me more because I know more is available.

Robyn Ivy:

I love it.

Jerremy:

Yeah.

Robyn Ivy:

because otherwise what are we doing?

Jerremy:

Mm-hmm.

Robyn Ivy:

Yeah.

Robyn Ivy:

Yeah.

Robyn Ivy:

Cool.

Jerremy:

helping people see, know, and understand how we can all be a part of the solution.

Jerremy:

How education is going to be the root fix for almost everything that we are

Jerremy:

struggling over, and that we worry over.

Jerremy:

Because the more we educate, the more we are aware, the more we are aware,

Jerremy:

the more we can have a an extreme clear path on where to go to how to fix it.

Jerremy:

And we love having guests on the show.

Robyn Ivy:

I think it's a really beautiful opportunity to speak into wholeness

Robyn Ivy:

because it's not, uh, it's no different if it's money or if it's your faith,

Robyn Ivy:

or it's your relationship or your marriage or the way you parent, or

Robyn Ivy:

the way you wanna serve our community.

Robyn Ivy:

If we're not all in this together, then we're really not gonna make this happen.
