1
00:00:08,230 --> 00:00:10,020
Hi, I'm Ryan.
2
00:00:10,050 --> 00:00:11,090
I'm 26.
3
00:00:11,120 --> 00:00:14,290
I'm from Highland, New
York, and I like going fast.
4
00:00:15,020 --> 00:00:16,070
That's my Harley.
5
00:00:16,100 --> 00:00:19,190
I got a 700 horsepower
Cummins turbo diesel outside.
6
00:00:19,220 --> 00:00:22,230
I have a 2017 Prius
Prime, and I keep
7
00:00:22,260 --> 00:00:25,030
forgetting that I have a boat.
8
00:00:25,060 --> 00:00:27,060
I've had a bunch of jobs.
9
00:00:27,090 --> 00:00:28,290
I lost count at about 30.
10
00:00:29,020 --> 00:00:32,250
I worked for a newspaper,
I've been a bartender,
11
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,230
and I have my own
contracting business.
12
00:00:34,260 --> 00:00:36,040
I do decks.
13
00:00:36,070 --> 00:00:39,160
If you need a pergola, or a
bathroom remodel, I'm your guy.
14
00:00:39,190 --> 00:00:41,030
I decided to move back home.
15
00:00:41,060 --> 00:00:43,250
My mom was diagnosed
with cancer.
16
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:47,040
Honestly, I put her
through a lot growing up.
17
00:00:47,070 --> 00:00:49,220
I owe this to her to
step up to the plate
18
00:00:49,250 --> 00:00:51,110
and take care of things.
19
00:00:51,140 --> 00:00:53,190
I want to be a
serial entrepreneur
20
00:00:53,220 --> 00:00:56,100
with multiple successful
business ventures.
21
00:00:56,130 --> 00:00:58,150
The only thing stopping me
from doing all these things
22
00:00:58,180 --> 00:01:01,200
is I'm broke.
23
00:01:01,230 --> 00:01:02,270
NARRATOR: Here are the facts.
24
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,240
The numbers are massive.
25
00:01:04,270 --> 00:01:10,050
Over 45 million people have
borrowed over $1.7 trillion
26
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:15,000
in student loan debt, and the
COVID-19 pandemic has only
27
00:01:15,030 --> 00:01:17,060
made the situation more dire.
28
00:01:17,090 --> 00:01:19,240
My name is Dan
Rosensweig, and I'm
29
00:01:19,270 --> 00:01:23,050
the CEO of the multibillion
dollar company Chegg.
30
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:24,270
This is my mission.
31
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,020
And with the help of my
financial expert Tonya Rapley,
32
00:01:28,050 --> 00:01:32,180
we're going to help people who
are drowning in extreme debt
33
00:01:32,210 --> 00:01:35,020
build a life of
financial independence.
34
00:01:35,050 --> 00:01:36,050
This is the year!
35
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:37,150
DAN ROSENSWEIG: It's
not going to be easy.
36
00:01:37,180 --> 00:01:38,200
I can't do this!
37
00:01:38,230 --> 00:01:40,060
DAN ROSENSWEIG: But
if they do the work,
38
00:01:40,090 --> 00:01:42,270
they're going to go from
being in the red to becoming
39
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,130
the CEOs of their own lives.
40
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,270
This is Going From Broke.
41
00:01:52,250 --> 00:01:54,050
TONYA RAPLEY: Hey
Dan, how you doing?
42
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:55,080
DAN ROSENSWEIG:
I am well, Tonya.
43
00:01:55,110 --> 00:01:56,100
How are you?
44
00:01:56,130 --> 00:01:58,160
You're looking mighty
springlike today.
45
00:01:58,190 --> 00:01:59,280
You know, Spring has sprung.
46
00:02:00,020 --> 00:02:01,120
Thank you, I'm
doing pretty good.
47
00:02:01,150 --> 00:02:05,060
And I'm excited about who
we have coming up today.
48
00:02:05,090 --> 00:02:09,050
We have Ryan, right?
49
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,090
We do, you are correct.
50
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:16,230
Ryan actually left his job
at the start of the pandemic
51
00:02:16,260 --> 00:02:19,270
to become a aspiring
entrepreneur and handyman,
52
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,170
and he's been doing rather well.
53
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:22,210
So that's a good thing.
54
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,220
But-- and there's a big but--
55
00:02:24,250 --> 00:02:26,250
Ryan doesn't
necessarily understand
56
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:32,050
the difference between an
investment and a liability.
57
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,010
That's up, and then back down.
58
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,010
He's also spending
money on vehicles
59
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:38,200
that need significant repairs--
60
00:02:38,230 --> 00:02:42,190
automotives, boats, anything
that kind of has an engine,
61
00:02:42,220 --> 00:02:45,220
he thinks that he can buy
it, fix it, and get a profit.
62
00:02:45,250 --> 00:02:47,190
The problem is they're
just sitting there.
63
00:02:47,220 --> 00:02:48,270
He's not fixing them.
64
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,140
DAN ROSENSWEIG: And he's
buying it with borrowed money,
65
00:02:50,170 --> 00:02:53,040
so they're collecting interest
and dust at the same time
66
00:02:53,070 --> 00:02:54,060
instead of a return.
67
00:02:54,090 --> 00:02:57,280
And his savings is zero.
68
00:02:58,010 --> 00:03:02,000
Last month, Ryan
brought in about $6,700,
69
00:03:02,030 --> 00:03:09,060
but spent over $8,400, putting
him about $1,700 in the red.
70
00:03:09,090 --> 00:03:11,090
Ryan has many kinds of debt--
71
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:15,080
student loans, credit cards, and
especially his massive truck,
72
00:03:15,110 --> 00:03:17,180
car, and motorcycle notes.
73
00:03:17,210 --> 00:03:22,060
His total debt is over $135,000.
74
00:03:22,090 --> 00:03:23,080
Did I get this right?
75
00:03:23,110 --> 00:03:26,020
He bought a brand
new Harley Davidson
76
00:03:26,050 --> 00:03:28,110
on credit during the pandemic?
77
00:03:28,140 --> 00:03:32,040
So at 26, three cars,
owns none of them.
78
00:03:32,070 --> 00:03:33,170
Owes on every one of them.
79
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,070
He's headed for a multicar
crash, if you will.
80
00:03:37,100 --> 00:03:40,120
[laughter] It'll be one of
those big hugs, big kicks kind
81
00:03:40,150 --> 00:03:41,200
of conversations, I sense.
82
00:03:41,230 --> 00:03:42,260
I think we should meet Ryan.
83
00:03:42,290 --> 00:03:44,050
Let's go meet him.
84
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:45,090
We have to.
85
00:03:48,030 --> 00:03:50,180
RYAN BLAKELY: So I just
finished setting up my cameras
86
00:03:50,210 --> 00:03:53,240
and lights, getting internet
hooked up and hard wired,
87
00:03:53,270 --> 00:03:56,030
and the reality is
really setting in.
88
00:03:56,060 --> 00:03:57,240
Like, this is happening.
89
00:03:57,270 --> 00:04:00,100
I'm going to meet
Dan really soon.
90
00:04:00,130 --> 00:04:02,070
And this is a
serious opportunity,
91
00:04:02,100 --> 00:04:05,090
and I need to be prepared
so he can take me seriously.
92
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,290
Hi Dan, Tanya, nice to meet you.
93
00:04:08,020 --> 00:04:09,010
It's an absolute pleasure.
94
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:10,280
Nice to meet you too, Ryan.
95
00:04:11,010 --> 00:04:12,070
Nice to meet you.
96
00:04:12,100 --> 00:04:14,210
You look very well groomed
for this versus the picture
97
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,150
we originally got.
98
00:04:16,180 --> 00:04:18,010
RYAN BLAKELY: Thank
you very much.
99
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:19,070
Tell us about Ryan.
100
00:04:19,100 --> 00:04:22,060
Who is Ryan, and why did
you make this phone call?
101
00:04:22,090 --> 00:04:24,080
I'm a serial entrepreneur.
102
00:04:24,110 --> 00:04:26,240
I have a property
maintenance business.
103
00:04:26,270 --> 00:04:30,030
I mainly focus on residential
home contracting right now,
104
00:04:30,060 --> 00:04:34,140
and I'm currently looking to
break into the tech industry,
105
00:04:34,170 --> 00:04:36,260
specifically into blockchain.
106
00:04:36,290 --> 00:04:39,200
But I feel like
what you're saying
107
00:04:39,230 --> 00:04:42,080
isn't matching
what you're doing.
108
00:04:42,110 --> 00:04:45,270
So Ryan, you're spending a
fortune on your vehicles.
109
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,130
The monthly payments,
the monthly insurance,
110
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,220
the monthly gas prices.
111
00:04:50,250 --> 00:04:53,060
There's an old adage, when
you're in a hole, stop digging.
112
00:04:53,090 --> 00:04:55,140
I would just like to
throw in this point here.
113
00:04:55,170 --> 00:04:57,200
I have something
called the Ryan method.
114
00:04:57,230 --> 00:04:59,210
Instead of getting a five
year note on a vehicle,
115
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,070
I'll get a seven at a higher
interest rate but a lower
116
00:05:02,100 --> 00:05:05,220
payment, because I know with
the amortization schedule I plan
117
00:05:05,250 --> 00:05:07,210
to pay it off earlier anyway.
118
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,270
But that allows me to have more
spendable dollars each month.
119
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,120
That's what most
people plan to do,
120
00:05:12,150 --> 00:05:13,240
but that's not happening.
121
00:05:13,270 --> 00:05:15,100
We're going to come
back to the Ryan method,
122
00:05:15,130 --> 00:05:17,170
because let me tell you where
the Ryan method got you.
123
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:21,270
The Ryan method got you calling
the Tonya and Dan method.
124
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:27,130
[laughter] That's where
the Ryan method got you.
125
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:28,280
TONYA RAPLEY: In a
recommended spending plan,
126
00:05:29,010 --> 00:05:32,160
transportation would take up
no more than 15% of a budget.
127
00:05:32,190 --> 00:05:34,170
But Ryan's
transportation expenses
128
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,210
are over 40% of his
spending, putting him
129
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,130
deeper into debt every month.
130
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,260
This is my 2018
rAM 3500 Cummins.
131
00:05:43,290 --> 00:05:46,170
This is the centerpiece for
my whole business operation.
132
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,150
This is my 2017 Prius Prime.
133
00:05:49,180 --> 00:05:50,200
It is partially electric.
134
00:05:50,230 --> 00:05:52,140
Prius, 52 miles to the gallon.
135
00:05:52,170 --> 00:05:54,270
Truck, 10 miles to the gallon.
136
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,190
I spend a lot of money
on gas for the truck.
137
00:05:56,220 --> 00:05:58,000
TONYA RAPLEY: Your Prius.
138
00:05:58,030 --> 00:06:00,040
What was your thought process
buying a car that could cut
139
00:06:00,070 --> 00:06:02,080
down on gas, and then
buying a gas guzzler
140
00:06:02,110 --> 00:06:04,080
and driving the gas guzzler
more than the car that
141
00:06:04,110 --> 00:06:05,200
is actually saving you money?
142
00:06:05,230 --> 00:06:06,250
Appearance value.
143
00:06:06,280 --> 00:06:10,120
I believe that at least
on the initial estimate
144
00:06:10,150 --> 00:06:12,120
walk through for
a particular job,
145
00:06:12,150 --> 00:06:14,110
I am not going to
be taken seriously
146
00:06:14,140 --> 00:06:16,010
if I pull up in a Prius.
147
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,250
But if I pull up in a
truck, it looks the part.
148
00:06:18,280 --> 00:06:21,170
I've never tried actually
going there in a Prius,
149
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,010
but I close a lot.
150
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:25,270
I've had so many sales jobs.
151
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,230
I've had about 40 plus jobs in
my life, but I'm the sales guy.
152
00:06:29,260 --> 00:06:30,290
That's what I do.
153
00:06:31,020 --> 00:06:34,260
I'm walking charisma, and
the truck closes deals.
154
00:06:34,290 --> 00:06:37,120
The Prius, I'm
willing to try it,
155
00:06:37,150 --> 00:06:40,280
but I'm not confident that it
will deliver fungible results.
156
00:06:41,010 --> 00:06:43,280
So you have two cars, not
like you needed anything else,
157
00:06:44,010 --> 00:06:45,130
but you decide to
buy something else.
158
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,140
This is my baby.
159
00:06:47,170 --> 00:06:49,090
There's nothing like
riding on this thing.
160
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,030
It sounds great.
161
00:06:51,060 --> 00:06:54,000
This is therapy.
162
00:06:54,030 --> 00:06:57,100
When he brought the Harley
home, I wasn't too happy.
163
00:06:57,130 --> 00:06:59,120
TONYA RAPLEY: So can
you let us know why that
164
00:06:59,150 --> 00:07:01,200
was such a necessary purchase?
165
00:07:01,230 --> 00:07:03,130
I'd recently broken
up with my girlfriend,
166
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:04,220
and I wanted to quit smoking.
167
00:07:04,250 --> 00:07:07,210
So I used it as an
incentive to do that
168
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:08,210
and to get over the breakup.
169
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,200
How was it an incentive?
170
00:07:10,230 --> 00:07:14,280
The $200 some odd a month
that I was spending on smoking
171
00:07:15,010 --> 00:07:17,180
would then be used
for the Harley.
172
00:07:17,210 --> 00:07:19,240
But you didn't quit smoking.
173
00:07:19,270 --> 00:07:22,100
So now we have the
cost of the loan
174
00:07:22,130 --> 00:07:24,120
and we have cigarettes still.
175
00:07:24,150 --> 00:07:26,140
[sigh]
176
00:07:26,170 --> 00:07:27,230
DAN ROSENSWEIG: And
when I look at what
177
00:07:27,260 --> 00:07:30,130
you're spending your
money on, it's cigarettes,
178
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,050
Tito's, and fast food.
179
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:33,060
Is that correct?
180
00:07:33,090 --> 00:07:34,010
RYAN BLAKELY: Yes.
181
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:35,080
It's Friday night.
182
00:07:35,110 --> 00:07:36,240
I'm out with my friends for
this lavish dinner which
183
00:07:36,270 --> 00:07:39,200
I probably shouldn't be doing.
184
00:07:39,230 --> 00:07:41,010
Money.
185
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,000
What do you do when you
have a bad day financially?
186
00:07:44,030 --> 00:07:46,030
You get some good food, yeah.
187
00:07:46,060 --> 00:07:47,140
DAN ROSENSWEIG: You
know what the biggest
188
00:07:47,170 --> 00:07:49,160
obstacle to your success is?
189
00:07:49,190 --> 00:07:51,240
You, excuses.
190
00:07:51,270 --> 00:07:53,220
Entrepreneurs can't have them.
191
00:07:53,250 --> 00:07:55,170
That's what makes the
great entrepreneurs
192
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:56,240
that you want to be.
193
00:07:56,270 --> 00:07:58,120
And if you get your
act together here,
194
00:07:58,150 --> 00:08:01,110
I'll even introduce
you to a few of them.
195
00:08:01,140 --> 00:08:03,130
So my first
impression of Ryan was
196
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,040
that this is going to be really
difficult because we don't have
197
00:08:06,070 --> 00:08:08,090
a lot of time to break
through that armor
198
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,100
and get him to really
embrace dealing
199
00:08:10,130 --> 00:08:13,040
with the problem as
opposed to thinking he can
200
00:08:13,070 --> 00:08:14,190
always talk his way out of it.
201
00:08:14,220 --> 00:08:17,250
I would like to just say,
and this isn't necessarily
202
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:22,000
a justification, but the
Harley, my Prius, and the truck
203
00:08:22,030 --> 00:08:23,160
I'm all underwater on.
204
00:08:23,190 --> 00:08:26,130
So I would have to take a
significant loss to get out
205
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:27,260
from underneath those payments.
206
00:08:27,290 --> 00:08:29,270
DAN ROSENSWEIG: Better to
take a loss on the principal.
207
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,020
You're paying more in interest
collectively in a year
208
00:08:33,050 --> 00:08:34,270
than these vehicles
are going to be worth.
209
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,090
They only go down in value.
210
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,100
The Ryan method is
actually impossible for me
211
00:08:40,130 --> 00:08:42,100
to understand because
it's bad math.
212
00:08:42,130 --> 00:08:46,040
All right, Tonya, close us out,
man, because I need a break.
213
00:08:46,070 --> 00:08:46,290
[laughter]
214
00:08:47,020 --> 00:08:48,090
TONYA RAPLEY: So
Ryan, what we're
215
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:52,000
going to need you to do is
take a tally of the investments
216
00:08:52,030 --> 00:08:54,080
that you've purchased or things
that you have laying around
217
00:08:54,110 --> 00:08:56,090
in your yard, the things
you have bought expecting
218
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,110
a return on what
your purchase was,
219
00:08:58,140 --> 00:09:00,130
and we are going to sell it.
220
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,000
We're going to sell
everything you don't need
221
00:09:03,030 --> 00:09:07,110
to either eat, shelter,
or make money on in terms
222
00:09:07,140 --> 00:09:08,190
of working day to day.
223
00:09:12,020 --> 00:09:13,260
Yes, you with your
hand up in the back.
224
00:09:13,290 --> 00:09:15,020
Do you have a question?
225
00:09:15,050 --> 00:09:16,160
[laughter]
226
00:09:16,190 --> 00:09:21,130
I just wanted to ask, when you
were talking about offloading,
227
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,280
were you talking about the
bike, motorcycle, the Harley?
228
00:09:25,010 --> 00:09:28,060
We're going to see
what the best outcome is.
229
00:09:28,090 --> 00:09:35,220
Everything ranging from
selling it, to parking it,
230
00:09:35,250 --> 00:09:37,180
to selling it for parts.
231
00:09:40,030 --> 00:09:42,010
Hearing you just
say that, you know,
232
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,250
I honestly started
tearing up a little bit.
233
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:52,010
I did agree to this, so
there's probably got to be
234
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:53,100
another way, though, right?
235
00:09:53,130 --> 00:09:54,250
Right?
236
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:58,010
We're also going to cut
our cost significantly.
237
00:09:58,040 --> 00:09:59,200
So we're cutting back on gas.
238
00:09:59,230 --> 00:10:01,180
We're cutting back
on dining out.
239
00:10:01,210 --> 00:10:03,110
I would like you
to quit smoking,
240
00:10:03,140 --> 00:10:05,040
and let's close a
deal in the Prius.
241
00:10:05,070 --> 00:10:07,280
Honestly, let's not stop until
we close a deal in the Prius.
242
00:10:08,010 --> 00:10:10,010
Because they don't care about
what kind of car you drive.
243
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:11,170
You care about what
kind of car you drive.
244
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:12,190
And I want a picture.
245
00:10:12,220 --> 00:10:13,280
I want-- I want video.
246
00:10:14,010 --> 00:10:15,140
I just closed a
deal in the Prius.
247
00:10:15,170 --> 00:10:16,210
Like, I want to see this.
248
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,090
DAN ROSENSWEIG: So you
ready to do the homework?
249
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:19,220
Because if the
homework isn't done,
250
00:10:19,250 --> 00:10:22,270
if I see like caveats, and
footnotes, and excuses,
251
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,010
and corner cutting, I'm done.
252
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,270
But if you do the work,
I'm going to be right
253
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,180
there standing next to you.
254
00:10:29,210 --> 00:10:31,070
Absolutely, 100%.
255
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,200
Yesterday was incredibly
eye opening for me.
256
00:10:36,230 --> 00:10:38,220
Speaking with Dan and
Tonya for the first time
257
00:10:38,250 --> 00:10:40,070
really made me
think about a lot,
258
00:10:40,100 --> 00:10:43,050
and they suggested that I get
rid of all of my vehicles,
259
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:44,050
all three.
260
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:45,130
But I'm a bit
apprehensive about that.
261
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:46,220
You know, I'm down,
I'm going to do it.
262
00:10:46,250 --> 00:10:47,290
I just think that
there's a right way
263
00:10:48,020 --> 00:10:49,010
and a wrong way to do it.
264
00:10:55,180 --> 00:10:57,070
Dan and Tonya
wanted me to compile
265
00:10:57,100 --> 00:11:00,150
an inventory of
everything I have
266
00:11:00,180 --> 00:11:02,150
and determine if I
have a use for it.
267
00:11:02,180 --> 00:11:04,150
Is it going to make me money,
or is it just costing me money
268
00:11:04,180 --> 00:11:05,270
by sitting here?
269
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,040
Sticky notes, let's go.
270
00:11:13,070 --> 00:11:15,050
SARAH BRENNIE: The yard
used to be very nice.
271
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:16,090
I had it all pruned.
272
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,040
I've always done
all the work here.
273
00:11:18,070 --> 00:11:24,010
But right now, you could see
there's trucks, and equipment,
274
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:25,160
and everything in my yard.
275
00:11:25,190 --> 00:11:27,170
I am the Jack of all trades.
276
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,190
Any handyman task,
I take on and I
277
00:11:30,220 --> 00:11:35,100
complete with full efficiency.
278
00:11:35,130 --> 00:11:37,270
SARAH BRENNIE: He's got
to pay off his debt.
279
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:42,290
Before he can make anything,
he's got to pay off his debt.
280
00:11:43,020 --> 00:11:44,140
DAN ROSENSWEIG:
Ryan, how are you?
281
00:11:44,170 --> 00:11:45,160
Hi, Dan.
282
00:11:45,190 --> 00:11:46,160
I'm doing well.
283
00:11:46,190 --> 00:11:47,160
How about yourself?
284
00:11:47,190 --> 00:11:48,190
Good.
285
00:11:48,220 --> 00:11:50,290
Ryan, I thought I would
just jump right in.
286
00:11:51,020 --> 00:11:53,080
So of the things that
you were assigned to do,
287
00:11:53,110 --> 00:11:57,240
have you actually done
and completed any of them?
288
00:11:57,270 --> 00:12:01,050
Dan, so I definitely I
think I did all of them
289
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,010
to the extent that would
satisfy what you're asking.
290
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:05,120
The inventory isn't complete.
291
00:12:05,150 --> 00:12:07,280
That's something that's going
to take much more meticulous
292
00:12:08,010 --> 00:12:10,140
approach which, unfortunately,
I just didn't have time to do
293
00:12:10,170 --> 00:12:11,280
because of my busy schedule.
294
00:12:12,010 --> 00:12:17,070
So the answer is no, you
haven't done any of them yet?
295
00:12:17,100 --> 00:12:19,270
This is probably a good
time to mention, just
296
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,040
full frontal honesty
all cards on the table,
297
00:12:22,070 --> 00:12:23,210
I made an agreement
with my mechanic
298
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,190
to purchase a
second set of wheels
299
00:12:25,220 --> 00:12:30,150
for the truck actually
including tires for $2,500.
300
00:12:30,180 --> 00:12:31,270
Well, why do you--
301
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,130
first of all, why would--
302
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,130
you're broke, and
you agreed to buy
303
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:39,260
tires you don't need with rims
you don't need for $2,500?
304
00:12:39,290 --> 00:12:42,050
Why?
305
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:43,060
Sex appeal.
306
00:12:50,190 --> 00:12:52,260
I think that it's going to
help with marketability,
307
00:12:52,290 --> 00:12:55,050
advertising,
selling, and closing.
308
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,190
It's a write-off, and I
can make my money back.
309
00:12:57,220 --> 00:13:00,130
The product new is
worth about $5k.
310
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,120
I could probably sell
it after using it
311
00:13:02,150 --> 00:13:04,120
for a few months for more
than what I paid for it.
312
00:13:04,150 --> 00:13:05,160
DAN ROSENSWEIG:
Every single thing
313
00:13:05,190 --> 00:13:08,010
you bought depreciated
in tremendous value,
314
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:09,130
so you never should
have bought it.
315
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,000
That's the Ryan method.
316
00:13:11,030 --> 00:13:13,210
So every single thing
you bought was a mistake.
317
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,060
You bought things that
you got ripped off for,
318
00:13:16,090 --> 00:13:18,210
because every single thing
you bought is brand new
319
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,270
and you can't even get
back your money for it.
320
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:21,220
You didn't need it.
321
00:13:21,250 --> 00:13:23,110
You didn't need three vehicles.
322
00:13:23,140 --> 00:13:25,120
You bought one after
you knew all this.
323
00:13:25,150 --> 00:13:28,070
You bought a $10,000 Harley,
and now you're trying
324
00:13:28,100 --> 00:13:30,020
to justify your decisions.
325
00:13:32,220 --> 00:13:37,070
We had lined up today one of the
world's premier entrepreneurs
326
00:13:37,100 --> 00:13:38,160
to talk to today--
327
00:13:38,190 --> 00:13:40,160
a true serial entrepreneur.
328
00:13:40,190 --> 00:13:44,090
He's world renowned for
inspiring real entrepreneurs,
329
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,140
and now I'm reluctant to
bring him on because you're
330
00:13:47,170 --> 00:13:49,000
not a real entrepreneur.
331
00:13:49,030 --> 00:13:52,220
You're a serial excuse maker,
not a serial entrepreneur.
332
00:13:52,250 --> 00:13:55,100
I've got Gary V waiting.
333
00:13:55,130 --> 00:13:58,010
Tell me why when I
talk to him privately
334
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:02,120
next that I should tell him
it's actually OK to talk to you.
335
00:14:02,150 --> 00:14:03,240
So tell me why.
336
00:14:03,270 --> 00:14:04,180
I'm the guy.
337
00:14:04,210 --> 00:14:07,030
No evidence of that.
338
00:14:07,060 --> 00:14:08,240
So I had a private
conversation with Gary,
339
00:14:08,270 --> 00:14:12,040
and I said, look, if you want
to meet with him, I'll let you,
340
00:14:12,070 --> 00:14:14,160
but just don't
hold me responsible
341
00:14:14,190 --> 00:14:17,070
for the conversation
not going the way you
342
00:14:17,100 --> 00:14:18,140
would hope that it might go.
343
00:14:18,170 --> 00:14:21,120
And I don't want to put
friends into a situation
344
00:14:21,150 --> 00:14:27,020
that is unnecessarily explosive
and a waste of their time.
345
00:14:27,050 --> 00:14:28,270
I'm going to leave
it up to Gary.
346
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,220
The famous Gary V, thank you
for being willing to help
347
00:14:32,250 --> 00:14:33,250
a young entrepreneur.
348
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,250
What made you say,
you know what?
349
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:36,290
I'm going to do this.
350
00:14:37,020 --> 00:14:38,230
I'm gonna-- I'm gonna
talk to this kid today.
351
00:14:38,260 --> 00:14:42,160
I think when you
love a game so much,
352
00:14:42,190 --> 00:14:44,170
you always want to
give back to the game.
353
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:45,230
Entrepreneurship is my game.
354
00:14:45,260 --> 00:14:47,160
I didn't get into
entrepreneurship because it
355
00:14:47,190 --> 00:14:49,100
was the cool thing of the day.
356
00:14:49,130 --> 00:14:53,040
Entrepreneurship got into me,
and I think that more people
357
00:14:53,070 --> 00:14:54,160
need to understand that truth.
358
00:14:54,190 --> 00:14:58,020
I just want to say no BS here,
and I am literally the Leonardo
359
00:14:58,050 --> 00:15:01,010
da Vinci of BS, but [laughter]
I was that kid in second grade
360
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:02,140
where, like, they're
going around the room,
361
00:15:02,170 --> 00:15:03,160
like, I want to
be a firefighter,
362
00:15:03,190 --> 00:15:04,120
I want to be an astronaut.
363
00:15:04,150 --> 00:15:05,140
Like, I want to own a business.
364
00:15:05,170 --> 00:15:07,110
So Gary, just as
an example, Ryan
365
00:15:07,140 --> 00:15:09,010
bought a $10,000 motorcycle--
366
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:10,030
GARY VAYNERCHUK: Sell it.
367
00:15:10,060 --> 00:15:11,150
--during the pandemic
despite already--
368
00:15:11,180 --> 00:15:12,110
GARY VAYNERCHUK: Sell it.
DAN ROSENSWEIG: --having about--
369
00:15:12,140 --> 00:15:13,040
Sell it.
370
00:15:13,070 --> 00:15:14,060
DAN ROSENSWEIG: --$70,000.
371
00:15:14,090 --> 00:15:15,000
Sell it.
DAN ROSENSWEIG: Yeah, exactly.
372
00:15:15,030 --> 00:15:15,250
Sell it.
373
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:16,210
DAN ROSENSWEIG: So what his do--
374
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,140
Yeah, yeah, sell everything.
375
00:15:18,170 --> 00:15:19,060
Have nothing.
376
00:15:19,090 --> 00:15:20,060
Walk.
377
00:15:20,090 --> 00:15:23,180
I see a strategy
mistake because you've
378
00:15:23,210 --> 00:15:25,020
got to stop the bleeding.
379
00:15:25,050 --> 00:15:26,240
It's almost like you're
bleeding to death over here,
380
00:15:26,270 --> 00:15:28,110
you're like, but I've
got a toothache, Gary.
381
00:15:28,140 --> 00:15:30,030
I'm like, you're
bleeding to death.
382
00:15:30,060 --> 00:15:32,080
The other thing you've
got to pay attention to
383
00:15:32,110 --> 00:15:34,220
is that people are scared to
list the thing because telling
384
00:15:34,250 --> 00:15:35,280
us and everybody
else that you're
385
00:15:36,010 --> 00:15:38,210
going to sell it makes
it seem optically
386
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,030
like you're successful.
387
00:15:40,060 --> 00:15:43,090
But when you actually list it,
now you're in the real game.
388
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,100
You're not on the
practice field anymore.
389
00:15:45,130 --> 00:15:47,070
You've got to list it, my man.
390
00:15:47,100 --> 00:15:48,290
How many years have you
been doing business?
391
00:15:49,020 --> 00:15:50,050
10
392
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:51,260
GARY VAYNERCHUK: Have you
ever stopped and said,
393
00:15:51,290 --> 00:15:53,250
why don't I ever make money?
394
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,060
No.
395
00:15:55,090 --> 00:15:58,080
No, I make-- I make money, I
just spend it on stupid things
396
00:15:58,110 --> 00:15:59,120
and frivolously.
397
00:15:59,150 --> 00:16:00,270
DAN ROSENSWEIG: No,
you don't make money.
398
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,270
You generate revenue,
but you don't make money.
399
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:04,200
There's a difference.
400
00:16:04,230 --> 00:16:05,150
GARY VAYNERCHUK: Correct.
401
00:16:05,180 --> 00:16:06,290
There's a word called profit.
402
00:16:07,020 --> 00:16:07,200
Have you googled it?
403
00:16:07,230 --> 00:16:08,180
[laughter]
404
00:16:08,210 --> 00:16:10,220
I'm familiar with
the terminology.
405
00:16:10,250 --> 00:16:12,200
I understand the optics of
it really is, you know, one
406
00:16:12,230 --> 00:16:13,270
of the critical factors here.
407
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:14,260
No, real-- real quick.
408
00:16:14,290 --> 00:16:15,280
Real quick.
409
00:16:16,010 --> 00:16:17,150
Real quick, I'm sorry
to interrupt you.
410
00:16:17,180 --> 00:16:20,130
The optics are the
only thing in the world
411
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,060
that you should not care about.
412
00:16:22,090 --> 00:16:25,290
There's been sodas thrown
at the screen at this point.
413
00:16:26,020 --> 00:16:28,050
Not because they're mad
at you or they hate you,
414
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,150
but because they're desperately
trying to figure out how to get
415
00:16:30,180 --> 00:16:31,290
you out of this
perspective tunnel
416
00:16:32,020 --> 00:16:34,200
you're in because it's
broken, my good friend,
417
00:16:34,230 --> 00:16:36,130
and I don't want that
to be the case for you.
418
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,220
Making sales is
not making money.
419
00:16:38,250 --> 00:16:40,100
You need net profit.
420
00:16:40,130 --> 00:16:42,050
What does your dream
entrepreneurship life
421
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,230
look like?
422
00:16:44,260 --> 00:16:46,200
I don't even know if I want
to tell you guys right now.
423
00:16:46,230 --> 00:16:48,120
This is-- you guys
are hammering me.
424
00:16:48,150 --> 00:16:50,010
Yeah no, I want to be
like an angel investor.
425
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,270
I-- I want to help people
start their own companies.
426
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,090
What I'd really like to be doing
in the next two to five years
427
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,020
is what I like to call the New
York blockchain project, where
428
00:16:58,050 --> 00:17:00,040
I just pair startup
companies that
429
00:17:00,070 --> 00:17:03,040
are focused on this
tech sector with people
430
00:17:03,070 --> 00:17:04,180
that'll invest in them.
431
00:17:04,210 --> 00:17:09,110
And then 10, 20 years from
now, I want to get into biotech
432
00:17:09,140 --> 00:17:10,200
and create--
433
00:17:10,230 --> 00:17:13,100
[gary laughs] a sustainable
technology that will help
434
00:17:13,130 --> 00:17:15,280
re-aerate the
atmosphere to reverse
435
00:17:16,010 --> 00:17:17,110
the effects of global warming.
436
00:17:17,140 --> 00:17:20,040
[laughter] So yeah, but
I can't do any of that
437
00:17:20,070 --> 00:17:21,190
right now because I fix decks.
438
00:17:21,220 --> 00:17:23,200
I actually have career advice.
439
00:17:23,230 --> 00:17:28,030
I think he should become the
greatest entertainer comedian
440
00:17:28,060 --> 00:17:33,060
of all time by your incredible
gift to put together
441
00:17:33,090 --> 00:17:35,170
an unbelievable
amount of buzzwords
442
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:39,140
to deliver sentences
of dramatic delusion.
443
00:17:39,170 --> 00:17:43,000
There's a big difference
between practical optimism and
444
00:17:43,030 --> 00:17:44,210
straight and utter delusion.
445
00:17:50,260 --> 00:17:54,220
RYAN BLAKELY: So what
just happened was crazy.
446
00:17:54,250 --> 00:17:57,280
That was not what I
was expecting at all.
447
00:17:58,010 --> 00:18:00,190
I'm feeling a mixture
of different emotions.
448
00:18:00,220 --> 00:18:03,100
Still feeling a
bit of shell shock.
449
00:18:03,130 --> 00:18:07,170
I have to go home and sell
stuff because I am not getting
450
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,200
roasted again this week.
451
00:18:09,230 --> 00:18:11,270
That one-- that one
really hit home for me.
452
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:16,150
You know, getting-- getting an
abrasive pep talk from Gary V
453
00:18:16,180 --> 00:18:18,040
was really eye opening.
454
00:18:18,070 --> 00:18:19,180
So not letting
that happen again.
455
00:18:19,210 --> 00:18:21,070
I'm selling everything.
456
00:18:21,100 --> 00:18:24,070
Selling it all.
457
00:18:24,100 --> 00:18:26,200
Literally digging myself
out of a hole right now.
458
00:18:30,130 --> 00:18:33,110
So I just finished
a walk through.
459
00:18:33,140 --> 00:18:35,290
Took the Prius there
and crushed it.
460
00:18:36,020 --> 00:18:38,160
I guess it doesn't really
matter if I take the Prius.
461
00:18:38,190 --> 00:18:39,220
I could have showed
up on a bicycle,
462
00:18:39,250 --> 00:18:40,260
it wouldn't have mattered.
463
00:18:40,290 --> 00:18:43,140
So I'm actually sitting
in my Prius right now,
464
00:18:43,170 --> 00:18:46,150
and I just closed the deal,
and I broke the contract
465
00:18:46,180 --> 00:18:47,290
right here in the car.
466
00:18:48,020 --> 00:18:50,030
I can do this in my Prius.
467
00:18:50,060 --> 00:18:53,220
I'm going to save so
much money on fuel alone.
468
00:18:56,120 --> 00:18:58,060
Good morning.
469
00:18:58,090 --> 00:18:59,050
TONYA RAPLEY: Hey, Ryan.
470
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:00,070
How are you?
471
00:19:00,100 --> 00:19:01,000
Hey, Tonya.
472
00:19:01,030 --> 00:19:01,210
How are you?
473
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:02,260
I'm doing good.
474
00:19:02,290 --> 00:19:03,190
I'm doing good.
475
00:19:03,220 --> 00:19:05,010
So what's been going on?
476
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,240
So I actually brought the
Prius on two walkthroughs,
477
00:19:08,270 --> 00:19:09,270
ready to close.
478
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,170
Oh, did we?
479
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,020
Yeah.
480
00:19:14,050 --> 00:19:15,240
That was a big step.
481
00:19:15,270 --> 00:19:19,200
So I know that you have
entrepreneurial endeavors,
482
00:19:19,230 --> 00:19:22,070
and so I brought in a
special guest, Kim Perell
483
00:19:22,100 --> 00:19:24,190
from Entrepreneur Magazine
to get you started
484
00:19:24,220 --> 00:19:27,050
on your entrepreneurial
journey as you
485
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:28,060
dig yourself out of debt.
486
00:19:28,090 --> 00:19:30,130
Kim, thank you so
much for joining us.
487
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,090
I'm so happy to be here,
and great to meet you, Ryan.
488
00:19:33,120 --> 00:19:34,040
Hey, Kim.
489
00:19:34,070 --> 00:19:35,090
It's great to meet you, as well.
490
00:19:35,120 --> 00:19:37,150
How do you define
yourself as an entrepreneur
491
00:19:37,180 --> 00:19:40,190
since you're in debt today,
and what is your goal today?
492
00:19:40,220 --> 00:19:42,080
First and foremost, I
need to get out of debt.
493
00:19:42,110 --> 00:19:43,120
Let's go get a piece of paper!
494
00:19:43,150 --> 00:19:45,040
I see there-- what's
in behind you?
495
00:19:45,070 --> 00:19:47,160
I can write it down for
you and send it to you.
496
00:19:47,190 --> 00:19:48,130
Yes, let's write it down.
497
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:49,080
What are we going to put?
498
00:19:49,110 --> 00:19:49,280
What's our vision?
499
00:19:50,010 --> 00:19:50,190
Let's write it!
500
00:19:50,220 --> 00:19:53,060
Get out of debt.
501
00:19:53,090 --> 00:19:54,290
KIM PERELL: So get
out of debt by when?
502
00:19:55,020 --> 00:19:57,260
I believe anything's
achievable with one year.
503
00:19:57,290 --> 00:20:00,060
So can you do it by
one year from today?
504
00:20:00,090 --> 00:20:02,030
RYAN BLAKELY: I mean,
absolutely I can.
505
00:20:02,060 --> 00:20:03,050
KIM PERELL: Yes!
506
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,140
I wrote this book,
The Execution Factor.
507
00:20:05,170 --> 00:20:09,140
It really tracks what separates
the good from the great,
508
00:20:09,170 --> 00:20:11,290
like what makes those
entrepreneurs successful.
509
00:20:12,020 --> 00:20:13,200
And I believe it is execution.
510
00:20:13,230 --> 00:20:18,190
I sold my last company
in 2014 for $235 million.
511
00:20:18,220 --> 00:20:20,170
[whistles]
512
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:21,210
Wow.
513
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,010
If you want to be an
entrepreneur so badly,
514
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:25,210
what would you suffer
for to do that?
515
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,170
You're going to have to do
things you don't want to do.
516
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,250
You're going to have to sell
things you don't want to sell,
517
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,280
but do you want it bad enough?
518
00:20:32,010 --> 00:20:32,290
Take action.
519
00:20:33,020 --> 00:20:34,050
It's easy to dream.
520
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:35,060
It's hard to do.
521
00:20:35,090 --> 00:20:36,280
It's hard, I know.
522
00:20:37,010 --> 00:20:37,280
I've been bankrupt.
523
00:20:38,010 --> 00:20:38,260
I've been broke.
524
00:20:38,290 --> 00:20:40,080
I've been laid
off, sued, served.
525
00:20:40,110 --> 00:20:42,020
You name it, it's
happened to me,
526
00:20:42,050 --> 00:20:46,110
and I'm relentless in the
pursuit of what I want.
527
00:20:46,140 --> 00:20:48,100
And I can see you have
the similar passion.
528
00:20:48,130 --> 00:20:49,060
Like, you can see it.
529
00:20:49,090 --> 00:20:50,160
You know what you want.
530
00:20:50,190 --> 00:20:52,130
Ryan, what are
you hearing here?
531
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:56,120
Because what I'm hearing
is that your dreams have
532
00:20:56,150 --> 00:20:58,290
to be more valuable than these
toys you're accumulating--
533
00:20:59,020 --> 00:21:01,240
the boats you're putting
in your backyard, the car
534
00:21:01,270 --> 00:21:03,050
that you're driving.
535
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,010
You have a boat
in your backyard?
536
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:06,020
Yeah.
537
00:21:06,050 --> 00:21:07,180
Do you have a lake
in your backyard?
538
00:21:07,210 --> 00:21:09,090
We got to get rid of the boat!
539
00:21:09,120 --> 00:21:10,090
I have a lot of stuff.
540
00:21:10,120 --> 00:21:12,140
Oh my gosh, you
should hold the biggest
541
00:21:12,170 --> 00:21:17,120
sale in your front yard
and just sell everything.
542
00:21:17,150 --> 00:21:19,010
Sell everything
but what you need
543
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,180
to create that business and
that dream that you deserve.
544
00:21:25,090 --> 00:21:27,000
Ryan, I believe in you.
545
00:21:27,030 --> 00:21:30,170
I'm excited to see what you
can do when you quit all
546
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,090
the excuses and you execute.
547
00:21:32,120 --> 00:21:33,070
Thank you so much.
548
00:21:33,100 --> 00:21:34,110
I-- that means a lot.
549
00:21:34,140 --> 00:21:35,070
It really does.
550
00:21:38,140 --> 00:21:41,020
TONYA RAPLEY: Between your
boat and the other things back
551
00:21:41,050 --> 00:21:42,260
there, I think that
we can get $6k.
552
00:21:42,290 --> 00:21:44,080
More, even better.
553
00:21:44,110 --> 00:21:46,090
You want to make this as
successful as possible
554
00:21:46,120 --> 00:21:48,120
so that we can get you
closer to being debt free.
555
00:21:48,150 --> 00:21:50,210
So you can actually focus on
what you want to focus on.
556
00:21:56,020 --> 00:21:58,280
RYAN BLAKELY: So there's this
local band called Yard Sale.
557
00:21:59,010 --> 00:22:01,170
They like to play at
yard sales, and they just
558
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,060
randomly pulled
up today and asked
559
00:22:03,090 --> 00:22:04,260
if they could start playing.
560
00:22:04,290 --> 00:22:09,010
[music playing]
561
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,220
SINGER: She took my money and
she ran off to the beach--
562
00:22:12,250 --> 00:22:14,060
Hey, how much
for these comics?
563
00:22:14,090 --> 00:22:15,180
$5 for the whole lot.
564
00:22:15,210 --> 00:22:17,070
All right, that's a good deal.
565
00:22:17,100 --> 00:22:17,280
Thank you.
566
00:22:18,010 --> 00:22:19,270
Thank you very much.
567
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,160
You looking to
get all of them?
568
00:22:21,190 --> 00:22:22,260
No, just a couple.
569
00:22:22,290 --> 00:22:24,010
$15.
570
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:25,140
- Thank you very much.
- You're very welcome.
571
00:22:25,170 --> 00:22:26,040
Have a good day, sir.
572
00:22:26,070 --> 00:22:26,250
You, too.
573
00:22:29,250 --> 00:22:31,050
Holy cow, a microwave.
574
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:32,030
How much?
575
00:22:32,060 --> 00:22:33,020
RYAN BLAKELY: $30.
576
00:22:33,050 --> 00:22:34,080
$20.
577
00:22:34,110 --> 00:22:35,080
RYAN BLAKELY: All right, yeah.
578
00:22:35,110 --> 00:22:36,270
[laughter]
579
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,010
God bless everybody.
580
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:40,060
So yeah, this is her.
581
00:22:43,090 --> 00:22:45,090
How much are you looking for?
582
00:22:45,120 --> 00:22:47,110
So this is for $2,750
583
00:22:47,140 --> 00:22:48,100
$40 for everything.
584
00:22:48,130 --> 00:22:49,190
How about $30?
585
00:22:49,220 --> 00:22:50,160
RYAN BLAKELY: $35.
586
00:22:50,190 --> 00:22:51,070
OK.
587
00:22:51,100 --> 00:22:51,250
Here you go.
588
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:52,250
Appreciate it.
589
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:53,260
Absolutely.
590
00:22:53,290 --> 00:22:56,060
SINGER: I had a
little bit of trouble.
591
00:22:56,090 --> 00:22:57,120
Your daddy's gonna be--
592
00:22:57,150 --> 00:22:59,000
Hey, how much for
this toaster oven?
593
00:22:59,030 --> 00:22:59,250
RYAN BLAKELY: $5.
594
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:03,030
All right, sold.
595
00:23:03,060 --> 00:23:05,070
Here's an extra buck for
those coasters there.
596
00:23:05,100 --> 00:23:06,010
Hey, thank you.
597
00:23:14,140 --> 00:23:15,130
Thanks, everybody.
598
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,160
Great yard sale.
599
00:23:17,190 --> 00:23:19,270
WOMAN: Oh my God,
he's a hoarder!
600
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:21,030
RYAN BLAKELY: It's
been quite a day,
601
00:23:21,060 --> 00:23:22,230
so I didn't make six grand.
602
00:23:22,260 --> 00:23:25,100
But on a positive note, I
received genuine interest
603
00:23:25,130 --> 00:23:27,000
in both of the trailers.
604
00:23:27,030 --> 00:23:29,140
Someone wants to buy
the CRV for their kid,
605
00:23:29,170 --> 00:23:31,140
and I have a guy that
does want the boat.
606
00:23:38,010 --> 00:23:41,260
So I just finished loading
off the bike in the trailer,
607
00:23:41,290 --> 00:23:43,270
and then ratchet
strapping it down.
608
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:45,150
Getting it ready for
its trip in the morning
609
00:23:45,180 --> 00:23:49,150
to Dutchess Rec across
the river in Poughkeepsie.
610
00:23:49,180 --> 00:23:51,020
We're going to assess
and appraise it,
611
00:23:51,050 --> 00:23:53,290
I have to do a job in Millbrook,
and then I'm coming back later
612
00:23:54,020 --> 00:23:56,140
on in the day to get the news.
613
00:23:56,170 --> 00:23:59,000
If it's something I can
afford, and by that I mean
614
00:23:59,030 --> 00:24:01,050
fit in the available
balance on my credit card
615
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,290
and pay my way out of it, then
I am going to hand the keys
616
00:24:04,020 --> 00:24:08,200
over and get rid of my bike.
617
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,130
It's going to be a
very emotional moment.
618
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,150
I don't know if I'm ready for
it, but I've got to do it.
619
00:24:17,180 --> 00:24:21,090
So there it is.
620
00:24:21,120 --> 00:24:22,000
Hey, Steve.
621
00:24:22,030 --> 00:24:22,240
STEVE: How you doing?
622
00:24:22,270 --> 00:24:23,280
RYAN BLAKELY: Pretty good.
623
00:24:24,010 --> 00:24:25,290
STEVE: So the original
offer was for $8,000.
624
00:24:26,020 --> 00:24:27,170
There is some
cosmetic damage that
625
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,160
will need to be taken care of.
626
00:24:29,190 --> 00:24:31,240
So ultimately, $7,000
for purchasing it
627
00:24:31,270 --> 00:24:33,290
outright from you.
628
00:24:34,020 --> 00:24:35,150
RYAN BLAKELY: If I had
to describe my feeling,
629
00:24:35,180 --> 00:24:37,210
it would be like
somber and melancholy.
630
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:42,000
Now I don't have a bike, but
I also don't have $3,000.
631
00:24:42,030 --> 00:24:43,270
TONYA RAPLEY: According
to the Ryan method,
632
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,050
he lost $3,000 today
because he had to pay
633
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:48,170
off the balance of his loan.
634
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,240
But in the math method, we
calculate the yearly cost
635
00:24:51,270 --> 00:24:54,110
of the motorcycle including
payments and interest,
636
00:24:54,140 --> 00:24:59,040
insurance, and gas and repairs,
which add up to around $4,200
637
00:24:59,070 --> 00:25:00,050
a year.
638
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,170
Multiply that by the
life of the loan,
639
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,110
and we can see that
this $3,000 decision
640
00:25:04,140 --> 00:25:08,120
will save Ryan almost $30,000
in the next seven years.
641
00:25:12,050 --> 00:25:15,250
It's a big key turning
in the lock moment for me
642
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:20,000
when now I realize that,
yes, I spent money to get out
643
00:25:20,030 --> 00:25:23,040
of the motorcycle,
but I'm saving
644
00:25:23,070 --> 00:25:25,010
that money by not
making the payment,
645
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:26,150
not making the
insurance payment.
646
00:25:26,180 --> 00:25:29,200
If anything, I'm making money.
647
00:25:29,230 --> 00:25:33,140
When I came into this, I knew
that the technical definition
648
00:25:33,170 --> 00:25:37,080
of buying a vehicle is
a depreciating asset,
649
00:25:37,110 --> 00:25:39,080
but nonetheless an asset.
650
00:25:39,110 --> 00:25:41,080
And now I don't even
look at it as that.
651
00:25:41,110 --> 00:25:42,130
It's just a liability.
652
00:25:49,180 --> 00:25:50,260
DAN ROSENSWEIG:
We have Ryan now.
653
00:25:50,290 --> 00:25:52,050
Hey, Dan.
654
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:53,220
TONYA RAPLEY: Looks like you
got dressed for us today.
655
00:25:53,250 --> 00:25:54,250
DAN ROSENSWEIG:
The beard's gone.
656
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:55,260
The hair's shorter.
657
00:25:55,290 --> 00:25:57,120
You're wearing a jacket.
658
00:25:57,150 --> 00:25:59,120
I know you're
dressing the part now.
659
00:25:59,150 --> 00:26:02,200
The question is, did you
actually do the part?
660
00:26:02,230 --> 00:26:04,080
TONYA RAPLEY: Thanks
to Ryan's garage sale
661
00:26:04,110 --> 00:26:06,190
and landing a big
new project at work,
662
00:26:06,220 --> 00:26:10,040
his income went up
to over $10,000.
663
00:26:10,070 --> 00:26:12,120
By reducing spending
on his vehicle,
664
00:26:12,150 --> 00:26:15,120
his expenses came
down to $7,700,
665
00:26:15,150 --> 00:26:18,260
putting him almost
$2,500 in the black.
666
00:26:18,290 --> 00:26:22,040
Turns out the math
method worked.
667
00:26:22,070 --> 00:26:26,000
I'm net positive, so
that's a huge thing.
668
00:26:26,030 --> 00:26:27,180
Thank you very much.
669
00:26:27,210 --> 00:26:30,120
And tell us about
the Harley, sir.
670
00:26:30,150 --> 00:26:33,190
So I was able to
actually sell my Harley.
671
00:26:33,220 --> 00:26:35,080
That was a bit of
an emotional day.
672
00:26:35,110 --> 00:26:36,240
[clapping] Thank you very much.
673
00:26:36,270 --> 00:26:39,190
I have to say this call is
going a lot better than I--
674
00:26:39,220 --> 00:26:41,170
I was nervous last night.
675
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,050
Ryan, what
happened to the boat?
676
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,250
So that was the whole
experience in and of itself.
677
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,020
I actually brought
it down to the river
678
00:26:49,050 --> 00:26:50,060
and it started sinking.
679
00:26:50,090 --> 00:26:51,280
Oh my gosh.
680
00:26:52,010 --> 00:26:55,030
Ryan, this is a great
metaphor for where we started.
681
00:26:55,060 --> 00:26:57,150
[laughter]
682
00:26:57,180 --> 00:26:59,170
TONYA RAPLEY: By selling
his motorcycle and later
683
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:03,170
one of his trailers, an
extra car, and even the boat,
684
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:08,100
Ryan was able to reduce
his debt by $24,000.
685
00:27:08,130 --> 00:27:10,070
Let's hope the truck is next.
686
00:27:10,100 --> 00:27:12,070
There was a point
before I started
687
00:27:12,100 --> 00:27:15,140
doing this where I was
seriously considering
688
00:27:15,170 --> 00:27:17,010
buying an Aston Martin.
689
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:21,070
Like you can get a used
Aston Martin for like $40k.
690
00:27:21,100 --> 00:27:22,240
I can get approved for that.
691
00:27:22,270 --> 00:27:26,100
I was legitimately, like,
making that my summer goal.
692
00:27:26,130 --> 00:27:30,160
But it dawned on me
today how worse off I
693
00:27:30,190 --> 00:27:32,220
would have been if I had
not signed up for this,
694
00:27:32,250 --> 00:27:36,020
and had met you
both, and been given
695
00:27:36,050 --> 00:27:39,030
such an insightful experience.
696
00:27:39,060 --> 00:27:44,230
So Ryan, if somebody
gave you money right now,
697
00:27:44,260 --> 00:27:46,200
would you pay down debt with it?
698
00:27:46,230 --> 00:27:47,240
Yeah.
699
00:27:47,270 --> 00:27:49,240
You've done the
work, so we're going
700
00:27:49,270 --> 00:27:52,220
to give you $1,000
that you can use
701
00:27:52,250 --> 00:27:55,030
towards paying off that debt.
702
00:27:55,060 --> 00:27:56,150
All right, my friend.
703
00:27:56,180 --> 00:28:02,070
I am going to leave this call
feeling a level of confidence
704
00:28:02,100 --> 00:28:03,220
that I wasn't sure
I was going to feel.
705
00:28:03,250 --> 00:28:08,010
I have learned so much from
this experience, and I have--
706
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,120
have really taken
everything and-- everything
707
00:28:10,150 --> 00:28:11,100
that you've said.
708
00:28:11,130 --> 00:28:12,270
You just spoke
for the first time
709
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,010
like a real entrepreneurial CEO.
710
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:17,280
So now we know it's in you.
711
00:28:18,010 --> 00:28:19,090
Yeah, we're proud of you.
712
00:28:19,120 --> 00:28:20,080
All right, Ryan.
713
00:28:20,110 --> 00:28:21,070
Good luck, my friend.
714
00:28:21,100 --> 00:28:22,040
Very grateful
over here, as well.
715
00:28:22,070 --> 00:28:23,080
DAN ROSENSWEIG: Don't buy stuff.
716
00:28:23,110 --> 00:28:25,090
Do not buy stuff.
717
00:28:25,120 --> 00:28:28,120
Let's spice these
mushrooms up a little bit.
718
00:28:28,150 --> 00:28:30,100
Cactus dust barbecue rub.
719
00:28:30,130 --> 00:28:33,200
Just a dash of the Everglades
heat, my favorite seasoning.
720
00:28:33,230 --> 00:28:36,040
Umami seasoning blend.
721
00:28:36,070 --> 00:28:39,160
Now I feel more
motivated than anything.
722
00:28:39,190 --> 00:28:43,130
I want to be debt
free under a year,
723
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:50,140
and I want to go out
and make millions.
724
00:28:50,170 --> 00:28:54,240
Oh my God, Ryan,
this is so delicious.
725
00:28:54,270 --> 00:28:58,010
