Listen To Episode 681 As Josh Trent Answers Your Questions [00:00] Intro

What's up, everybody? It's Josh Trent. Welcome back to the podcast. This is a special video AMA and I have someone really, really amazing that I want to introduce you to. You've heard her on other AMAs. Her name is Mar.

She's from an island in the middle of the ocean. And I'm not going to lie. I'm jealous because I miss the ocean out here in Texas. Mar, welcome to the studio.

It's so good to be here. It doesn't feel real. It feels real to me because we've been cold plunging. We've been sauna-ing. We've been working out together. It's been epic. And so we actually get to walk the talk today.

[02:15] Money Wound

Do you have a money wound? And I say that with respect to right in reverence because a money wound is truly a wound. It's this imprint that our mom or dad or somebody in our family that we loved or cared about. They basically just told us that money is bad. Money doesn't grow on trees. And the only way you make money is by taking of other people.

It's just absolute insanity. Yet there's a part of our deep psyche that believed it at that time. And I think what everybody can hold onto here is the truth around poverty and wealth.

I believe, and I flash back to an episode that we produced with Dan Martell, where he said, you'll never earn more than a penny that think you're worth. So just let that land for a minute.

You'll never earn more than a penny of what you think you're worth. So if you think you're worth 10 bucks an hour, life will give you that. You ain't gonna make much more than that.

If you think you're worth 100 bucks an hour, eventually you'll develop the skills and the ways of being in order to call that in because nature hates a vacuum...

[08:20] Money Is a Byproduct of Self-Worth

There's two wolves in a parable in the Native culture, and one wolf is jealous and greedy and fearful, and the other wolf is loving and giving and trustworthy.

And this Native American grandfather was talking to his grandson, and the grandson was fascinated by this parable. He's like, well, grandfather, which wolf wins? Which wolf would win in a fight? And the grandfather turns to him and he says, the one that you feed, the one that you feed.

The most challenging thing that I could say is we start this conversation about money because money, I believe, is really just a byproduct of self-worth.

And I didn't learn that just from Dan Martell, but I've definitely amalgamated it from Mike Dillard and Adrian Brambila and many other people that have come on the show to this part of the roof of the Pentagon, which is financial intelligence, financial nourishment, financial wellbeing.

But I can't absorb it, I can't accept it unless I have decided by so much pain and by so much frustration of being fucking broke and being in complete poverty that I just have to get to a place inside of my being that says, all right, enough.

I'm sick of being broke. I'm sick of being disempowered. I'm sick of working these crappy jobs that don't give me anything, that don't fulfill my soul. How do I move forward?...

[14:00] How to Manifest Money

The phrase that when you pray that you believe you have it and you shall have it is good, but there's a missing part. There's two missing parts.

The other part is if you are going to share with the creator how you will be of service and if it is in alignment with God's will. Just let that land for a second because that's the most part. Otherwise, we'd all just be praying for fucking Ferraris.

You know, I want a Ferrari. Thank you for my Ferrari. I'll speak in the affirmative. Thank you so much for my Ferrari.

But it's like, no, when you ask, believe that you have it and you shall have it because that's what prayer meditation be humble in service to what you're going to do when you receive it and stay in humility that it's in God's will or it's in creator's will.

And I think we can only really get to that place because this is, we're talking about how to build wealth here, right? It's only in that space of humility that I think you can really build sustainable wealth.

Because then your ego is really disassociated for a moment and you're asking, okay, if I want what I want, then how can I help somebody else get what they want that's also in alignment with what I love? Because God wants us to succeed, the Creator wants us to succeed...

[25:15] Can You Keep Your Wealth?

There's no one way to create wealth. There's no one way to be a man or be a woman. But there are tried and true proven practices get you there with less pain. And I feel like if we just follow the laws of nature, where If a man truly loves a woman, that he provides for her because he loves her, not because he has to.

If a woman truly loves a man and she wants to create a family, she feels and deserves to be supported and be in the garden because that's how special she is.

Like women, another phrase from the Bible, and y'all take whatever you want from this and leave the rest, is that the man is the head, but the woman is the crown. The woman is actually the crown that sits on the head of the family. So the man may be providing, but he's providing for her, which is so special.

And I think that's been really accosted feminist movement. Now, the feminist movement is not all bad. It started out very pure. It had some good ideals, good morals, right? Like equal pay and equal treatment and respect. These are great things.

But along the way, just like most movements, I think feminism got accosted and pulled into women leaving the home and creating double tax revenue for the IRS. I mean, that really was the construct that feminism was driven by.

And if you look at most of the research, it was from the Rockefeller family. And there's a whole deep, dark hole if you wanna go down that. The reason I'm saying this is because we're talking about wealth.

And I believe that we can only create wealth if we have embodied all of these different aspects that you and talked about today so far.

One of the things that I remember Mike Dillard telling me, and we'll link this episode notes, is that he used to earn money and he would lose it. He would find a way to lose it.

But he would make millions of dollars and then he would lose millions of dollars because he was addicted to the serotonin dopamine dumps that would happen that would remind him of his life, his childhood. So he had to actually build a new faculty.

He had to build a mindset around making wealth and keeping wealth. Now we're talking about making wealth, right? But just because you make it doesn't mean that you are going to vibrationally hold it...

[30:40] The Embodiment of Abundance

I had a wounding around the word God. I can say it now and it's no big deal.

But unless you have a clear spiritual connection to something bigger, and you're humble, and you can actually live this Mark 11:24 prayer, and in alignment with that, you're curious, you're interested in what finance can do for you, then we're just gonna raise our children to be are gonna raise their children to be poor.

It's just like this all wretch and no vomit that Alan Watts speaks about. We're just raising our children to raise the same people.

And it's like my goal is that actually Novah and Naya grew more abundant than me and better than me in so many ways and the same thing for our team like all of us I want to, of course, I want to work with y'all forever but I know there's a day down the road where you'll become so valuable to the marketplace and you'll have so much value and skill set that you've grown in you, that I'll get to give you a hug and wish way, right?

And that's just like the joy and the journey of life. And I think if we can have this mindset, a true, not esoteric, not spiritual bullshit babble, like a true embodiment of abundance.

I think that we also have to come to terms with that there's always a beginning, middle, and end in our life.

And I think when it comes to money, really what we all deeply fear is if I don't have money, then I won't be able to eat, then I won't be safe, then I'll die. It's like this unconscious framework that I'm speaking about...

[34:35] What Is The Game You Want to Play?

The real way to do anything in life is to have curiosity, playfulness, and openness. How can I be curious about building wealth? How can I actually like make it a game? Because that's really what this is. We're in a big game here.

I don't know if y'all got the memo, but like you're in a game. That's why you're here watching our game because part of our game resonates with your game. Cool.

But the openness and the curiosity and the playfulness I really feel are so, so powerful, but it's the exact opposite, Mar. It's the exact opposite of what your mom told you, what my mom told me, and what story I fabricated about why my dad wasn't around.

And I think that's the big takeaway here is do not always believe the stories, the beliefs that you have told yourself, that you believe. Be willing to die every day. Be willing to die every day about what you think is real, what society tells you.

If I would have listened to society graduate from college I did not do anything that the typical person would do I've hired and fired people with master's I just went on the journey of loving and believing in myself and being open to my beliefs being fucking shattered.

And if you do that, you will make way more money, 20, 50, 100 times more money in wealth for the safety we create.

There's no such thing as financial security unless you love yourself and you believe enough to create it and to hold onto it and to further perpetuate this legacy where you're not just making the money and the garden that you grow and the house that you have about you, you're thinking about, wow, what will my children have? And how can I give that to my children?...
