Transcript
And fortunately, we are seeing precisely that more and more patriots are rising up and taking matters into their own hands and securing their own financial flourishing. And that is where my good friend and sponsor, Alex Alberon from unstuck Media comes in. I would say that Alex and I are golf buddies, but that would be an insult to Alex, given the state of my golf game. Instead, I am simply going to introduce him for who he really is.
And that is an absolute genius when it comes to connecting aspiring patriots and entrepreneurs with their goals for scaling their business through tapping into the world of e commerce. Alex is going to give us his assessment on Biden’s economy and what patriots can do to fight back, take matters into their own hands, and financially thrive. So, Alex, welcome back, as always. Great to see you, my friend. You, too.
Thank you. Yeah, people don’t know I joke because the last time Alex and I were together was at Trump’s international golf club in West Palm beach in Florida, where Alex is a member there, and he is quite the golfer. And let’s just say, say I am not. But it’s always great to see you. Let’s dive in. Give me your assessment here because you’re on the front lines of the economy as an e commerce and entrepreneur expert.
So what is your perspective on Biden’s latest billion dollar student giveaway? I hate calling it forgiveness because taxpayers certainly aren’t being forgiven. But what’s your take on it? And also, it seems to me, if I might throw it in there, forgive me if I seem a little cynical, but it seems like with the election around the corner, the timing of this is rather suspicious. But give me your take on it.
Absolutely. And so if you look at forgiveness, that’s like you’re saying a very, it’s putting lipstick on a pig, as people say. If you look at the people that are receiving that forgiveness, they probably spent $150,000 on some human studies arts degree, and that has no value in the economic capitalistic marketplace and they’re getting bailed out when veterans, they maybe have mortgages, maybe there’s other ways, like the border as an example, other more useful ways of using taxpayer money.
But he wants to, like you’re saying, buy votes and give money to people that are more likely to vote for him. And so I think it’s the slow grind of entitlement in this country. A lot of the government, a lot of the things that they do, the actions, you know, the things that they do with the money that we give them is based on changing our mindset around money and opportunity to entitlement that we deserve.
I deserve to go to school, take on debt, maybe have statistically higher income potential, and then I deserve for the government to bail me out for that. Right. It’s entitlement across the board and it’s a dangerous president. Your generation doesn’t have it. I feel like my generation and the younger generation, they want us to be entitled and they want our faith to be in the government, not in ourselves and our abilities and in God, which is very subliminal.
But if you look long term, it can have very dangerous consequences. Wow. Wow. Yeah, I think it was, yeah. George Gilder said something akin to, you know, true capitalism always begins with a gift. It always begins with investment, whereas where socialism always begins with taking. Right. And I, California, look at the fast food bill. They’re coming into fast food businesses and saying we have no experience or credentials or credibility in running a McDonald’s.
But we’re going to tell you how to pay your employees even though you’ve taken the financial risk, the emotional risk, the entire building of a business. We’re going to come in and say we know how to run that business better than you. And that’s exactly what’s happening with student loans and with that law in California and many other things. And so it’s a very dangerous president that’s being set.
It is. And I like how you’re having this overview, this big picture in terms of the entitlement mentality. So what do you think? What do you think is going to be the lasting effects on taxpayers and the overall economy from this multi, multi billion dollar giveaway? Well, I think there’s not going to be taxpayers. I think my generation and the younger generation, you know, if you ask your daughter, your son, your cousin, what do they want to do for a living? They don’t say doctor, lawyer or youtuber like my friend Doctor Turley.
They usually say, well, they say YouTuber but they say, I’m going to do a YouTube video about flipping cars or, you know, like, crashing jets into each other, like MrBeast videos, not really adding value to society. They think they could just launch a YouTube channel and become super successful. And if they’re not, then they could just rely on the government for healthcare, for checks, for food, for everything.
So I think long term, there’s going to be a very big divide between people that either have economic stability with their own business and actual business and other people who think they can build a business, but really they don’t want to put in the work and they just want to rely on the entitlements from the government. Long term. Yeah, man, from your lips to God’s ears. You know, you’re pretty vocal with your very strong christian commitment beliefs and your, your political affiliations with President Trump.
Of course, you and I were, last time we were together at Mar a Lago, we got to, we got to meet number 45, soon to be number 47. How do you think, based on how you track with his way of thinking, how do you think he’d handle this issue when he gets back into the White House for his next term? Well, I think he’s a capitalist. You know, true and born.
He built his business, really from nothing. If you look at having billions of dollars like he does, I mean, yeah, he had some help with his father, but it was more, he turned his little kind of business into the empire that it is now. And so I think it’s something where you take responsibility for your actions and say, hey, if we want this country to be successful again, then let’s give people opportunity.
You’re not going to make people successful by giving them things. A lot of people, even with faith as an example, they say, God’s going to provide, God’s going to do this. People think that with government as well, but government, God and yourself, you’re just trying to create opportunities. Their job isn’t to say, hey, here’s everything on a silver platter. So I think Trump would say, hey, let’s bring jobs back to the country.
Let’s stabilize businesses, let’s lower taxes because that’s going to drive growth. But he’s not going to give out checks. He’s not going to give out food stamps. He’s going to say, here’s opportunity. But now you need to take the skills that God gave you and build a business or build a career. And I think that’s the difference. The Democrats, they just have people thinking, just because you’re born in America, you’re taking care of, and if you’re not born here, come over and we’ll take care of you.
But I think President Trump and our line of thinking is more, you come to this country, you’re born here. It’s the land of opportunity, not the land of guaranteed success. Right. Opportunity is something that we all have, but you have to grasp it and accept that it’s not going to happen overnight. But I think that’s the main mindset difference between, again, most Democrats and President Trump. So if he gets back in there, I think you’re going to see tremendous opportunity.
Equality of opportunity, not equality of outcome. That’s what I mean. That’s the difference fundamentally between the two parties. Brilliant. So what do you have to say? Again, you’re on the front lines of, particularly the parallel economy. It’s rising. What do you have to say to patriots out there? Were feeling really discouraged. They want to do something. They want to take control of their financial destiny, as it were.
But they’re not quite sure how, especially in light of this loan transfer to taxpayers. What advice would you give to them? Well, I think you have to look at the economic reality of cost. Just like your life. You have income, you have expenses. A business, you have income, you have expenses. But if you look at the last 50 years since the gold standard was removed, so now they’re printing money.
So now houses that used to be $100,000 are $500,000. But your income at your w two job hasn’t gone up 500% in the same timeframe. So you have housing costs, you have healthcare, you have food, gas costs are going to continue going up. That’s not going to magically just go back to normal. But your income at your job is designed to go like this, slowly but surely, so that you’re just getting by.
I mean, back in the day, you can probably admit you can make 70, even $80,000 in a household, and you can buy a nice house, you can live comfortably, not fancy, but you can easily get by. You can save for retirement, but now 70, 80,000 in some cities won’t even pay rent. Nonetheless, buying a house and saving for retirement and everything. And so I think the reality is you have to become an entrepreneur nowadays.
You can’t just say, let me get a stable job, invest in my 401k, because the system is not designed for you to be successful in the middle class. There used to be, I would say, a very large and solid middle class in this country. But the way it’s built now, you either are going to aim to the top and get there or they’re going to keep you down here.
Because, again, the reality is the cost of living expenses, they’re not going to normalize magically. And so you have to say, let me build a business. Let me take advantage of the opportunities so I can raise my income and take control where a lot of my clients are people who, they have passions, they have skill sets that, you know, they’ve been wanting to start a business for 20 years, 25 years, but, you know, they have a life, they have their expenses.
They don’t really know how to start a business. And, you know, that’s why I help people, giving them kind of the step by step system on, you know, I’ve built a $7 million company from scratch after selling my car for $5,000. And so I can tell people, hey, if you’re starting a business, if you’re at that point where you have an idea, you have a concept and you want to turn it into something that could maybe make millions, that’s your best bet.
That’s the best way to invest your time and your financial resources, because your 401k, even your stocks and other things, that’s designed to make the system rich. But you need to build your own business, and that’s the way to become financially stable, in my opinion and experience is not investing in stocks, not investing in your company, your w two company, investing in your company, right? Starting your business and even look at your career, right, like you had the professorship, you did that for many years.
And then you started this YouTube channel, and it puts everything into your control, into your power. And that’s a very, I would say, not just lucrative thing, but it’s a very assuring thing, knowing your income and the way you generate money to feed your family. Again, it’s in your control and no big company. And take that away. Yeah. And another term that comes to mind is incredibly fulfilling.
Fulfilling financially, but also fulfilling in terms of just the morale that one has, the sense, like you say, of providing and achieving and so on. I was just going to say that I was going to piggyback on that with, I mean, I literally, I mean, you’re giving sort of my autobiography in a sense, or, well, you would be giving my biography, I’d be giving the auto. But you got it.
I mean, it was really hard for me to let go of academia. It was really hard because that’s just what I was so used to for 20 years. I mean, that’s just getting a paycheck from, from, from my bosses, as it were. As long as I read and lectured, you know, I was good to go there. So there’s a bit of a comfort in that. But stepping out and actually creating your own business, it never clicked until you just said what you just said.
I forget where I read it, but I remember looking up on investments because my investments were horrible. And I looked for advice and I came across a financial expert who said, the best thing you can possibly invest in is yourself and in your own business. Creating your own business, put money into yourself, into your passions, building your own business, that’s going to pay off beyond any stock you could ever hope to invest in.
And you’re just, that was what? Oh, gosh, like ten years ago. And you’re literally, it clicks because you’re like, hey, if I invest in a stock, if you’re the best stock picker in the world, you may make 10%. Yeah. If you have 50,000, like ice again. I started my business by selling my car. It was my only possession at the time, my only asset. I sold it for $5,000 about seven years ago.
If I took that $5,000, I was the best stock picker. I invested in Apple. Right? I doubled my money in the stock market. That’s amazing. In seven years, I would turn 5000 into $10,000. That’s not really going to get me where I’m at now, where I’ve made millions of dollars from an initial $5,000 investment into myself, into my skills. Because again, you have to look at the marketplace.
You can create a bunch of wealth in the marketplace from nothing. But you need to be able to add value. To add value, you need to get better. But if you’re in your comfort zone, if you’re staying in the same place, then you can’t possibly change your income because you’re not evolving your skills. And so there’s a big disconnect there. And that’s why a lot of my clients, they’re like you.
They had a job for 20 years, 25 years. They were so comfortable, they knew there was more out there, but they needed that hand holding, that kind of one on one personalized help to say, I’m going to walk you across the finish line personally and get you probably 20 years of results in a matter of maybe twelve months or less. Like, I have a client, Christy Van Vantastic finances.
She in twelve months went from zero to 224,000 YouTube subscribers, which, you know, is not an easy thing to do. That was in the past twelve months she went from zero. No revenue, no clients, no income. She just had an idea to teach people about velocity banking and personal finance and paying off debt, things like that. She went from zero to now doing, I think, six figures a month, and that’s about 90% profit, six figures a month in about twelve months.
Because she had this passion, but she did not know where to start on how to create an offer, how to create a marketing plan, how to build her YouTube channel, and how to just build a business. And so again, look at her. She probably got about a decade of results if she did it on her own. Working with someone like me that has the system that has made the mistakes, she got those results in about twelve months instead of ten years.
And so that’s the best return investment you could possibly make. Dude, I think we are literally tracking the same thing. I was just gonna say that’s the best investment you can do right there. That is, it’s a who, not how. Stop trying to figure it out yourself. Go with a mentor. Right. That’s what all the great movies are about. They’re not about somebody just sitting around studying manuals all the time to figure out things.
It’s, it’s finding your Obi Wan that’s gonna help you get to the next level. So our audience can work directly with you to grow their business reach. When they click on the link below or they go to alexalbaron. com Turley and sign up to work one on one with you as their business coach, can you just give us a little sense of what they can expect from your time working together? Absolutely.
And so I work with every client one on one in terms of building out their entire business model. There’s really seven key pieces to building a successful business. But the main things are what are you offering to people? Who are you offering it to and how are they going to find out about it? That’s really all it is. What are you selling people? What value can they expect to deliver from it and to get from it, and how are they going to find it? Most people, they’re stuck at step one of, okay, I want to help people with life coaching or teaching people about finances or about real estate, but they want to teach people and they have no idea how to reach them, what they’re selling them, and just, just how to build it into a real business.
And so I kind of walk clients through that entire process, step by step, and hold their hand, because a lot of people, they don’t want information, they want execution and implementation. So I’m not just telling people, go do x, y, and z. I’m saying, hey, I’ll help you build the funnels and the landing pages and the technology and the entire setup. Because for most people, that’s what stops them.
That’s what keeps them procrastinating. They think it’s perfectionism, but it’s really procrastination. They want to build their business, but they’re not really taking action because they’re stuck. I help people get unstuck and again, build a viable business that’s simply around. How can you reach people, sell them something that delivers value and rinse and repeat. Rinse and repeat. And so I work with people one on one in this program for twelve months on how to do that.
And I have a special offer for your audience. I love your audience. Your audience is my favorite, because, again, I’m so into my faith, so into my, you know, being with Trump, being a member at Mar a Lago, that I want to share that with your audience because they’re the same exact way.

But that’s my special offer for your audience, because they’re amazing people and I love working with them.
