Speaker 1:

Hey, what's going on, guys? I've got a special guest here today. We have Chris Champion. He's invested in over 120 companies and he's raised more than $300 million. So what you guys might not realize is, when you invest, that means you're looking towards the future. So, Chris, for you, what are you most excited about for the future? What do you think it holds? What are we looking towards you most?

Speaker 2:

excited about for the future? What do you think it holds? What are we looking towards? Well, I think, whether it's the most excited or the most, concerned they're literally the peak emotions that I have right now about AI.

Speaker 2:

Really, I've delved into AI, deep into AI for the last six to 12 months and the one thing I can tell people is you have got to find a way to get AI to work for you or it is going to crush you. And when I say crush you, I got a book coming out later this summer called AI Anarchy. And when you start seeing lawyers being replaced, you're going to start seeing lawyers homeless. And when you start seeing lawyers being replaced, you're going to start seeing lawyers homeless. And when you start seeing lawyers homeless, I'm telling you you're going to see anarchy. You're going to see AI replace things like lawyers, high paying job lawyers. Literally, I have real estate and I don't even use my lawyer anymore to make any real estate changes to the lease. Ai can do it in two minutes flat and it's as good as anything he would give me.

Speaker 1:

Yes, and the crazy thing is, as we're seeing it too, is if you're not using this, because I was shocked. I just went home for the weekend. We went to a wedding and my mom goes. She was kind of keeping a secret, but she's not the most tech savvy and she's like this chat GBT thing is game changer because it helps her articulate some of her thoughts and utilize it, and my whole point being is that my mom can be behind the eight ball a little bit on technology. So if she's diving into this, we all need to be starting to accept this and see how it helps us in different areas of our life, whether it's writing, whether it's comprehension of different skills, whether it's web development, Because there's so many ways to integrate this and it's just how do you create the systems that work for you, not so that you're working for the systems?

Speaker 2:

Well, your mom's using ChatGPT as a tool, and AI can be used as a tool, but, more importantly, ai can actually go to work for you every single day, 24 hours a day.

Speaker 1:

I'll give you a great example.

Speaker 2:

My team and I built an AI tool called Champion Introductions and this is how you and I met, and literally every single night last night just to give you a great example, I was up till two in the morning Last night 712,000 podcasts were transcribed by an AI tool, an AI assistant that we built, where it took the audio file and converted it into a text file and put it into a database that we can search and sort. We have the largest database of transcribed podcasts in the world. Then I have another AI tool that basically goes and looks at that data and looks for keyword matches for the podcasts that I want to talk to entrepreneurial type podcasts and then it writes in that. Then I have a third AI tool that's conversational, and that conversational tool does an introductory email, but each email is absolutely positively unique to that podcast a hundred.

Speaker 1:

I remember reading the email and I just looked at it before we hopped on this call. It commented on my past guest that was on. It commented on what makes you unique, but it also had your lingo when they commented on your past guest.

Speaker 2:

It was the guest that you recently had like within the last 48 hours, correct?

Speaker 1:

Yes, yeah, it was literally the past like one of the most recent guests.

Speaker 2:

Now think about this for a second. All that work, 712,000 podcasts transcribed into a database, all that work that I just described to you, that's 40,000 man hours of work that's being done every 24 hours. For me, that's literally like having 1,000 employees work a whole week in one day.

Speaker 1:

Wow.

Speaker 2:

I mean, in one hand it's unbelievable and powerful and it's allowing me to scale and do other things with my time, but on the other hand it's scary as fuck, like I've replaced 40,000 human man hours and it's like with a machine.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and that's honestly one of the most efficient ways I've seen. I've heard about it done, because I get again I get reached out to a lot for these podcasts. I probably have 10 to 15 people emailing me and a lot of them are just people that are. They outsource it to a VA. They try to make the system. Some of them are scraping for emails through listen notes. They're doing a bunch of different things. Emails through listen notes, they're doing a bunch of different things but that was the most efficient way in regards to not having to do the man hours. So how does someone even get an AI? Like let's back it up, like how do people even get involved in this? How do they make AI agents? How do they make all this happen?

Speaker 2:

Because I know that's what people are, so it's not easy and it requires tweaking and it requires a little bit of skillset. But what we did was we launched, about two months ago, a managed service where we help manage and create basically a copy, a clone, of what I've built for myself, and just in two months, the feedback that we're getting is insane. Like I, literally I have two clients that literally on a daily basis, are doing interviews every single day and telling their story and getting their frequency up. And that's the thing about podcasts is you want your frequency up, you want people to see you, with Jordan Edwards and Susie and John and Joe Rogan and all everywhere, because eventually people are like, hey, the guy with the cookies and cream shirt, that guy is everywhere, he's fucking telling his story every day.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, absolutely, I mean. And the other thing was that I don't know if your AI bot knew this, but I followed you previously, so when we did our intro call, I was like I know this guy. So it was Well, here's the crazy thing.

Speaker 2:

Here's the crazy thing it's not an actual AI bot, it's actually an AI assistant. It's way beyond bots. This assistant, over time, reads all my emails and it creates conversational language as if it was me. I tell people give it about two months and it is going to be a digital version of you, wow.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it's crazy and it just, it's everything and, like I said, if you don't find a way in 2025 to get AI to work for you while you're sleeping, I'm telling you you are going to be left behind. Ai is moving. Here's the crazy thing Grok 3 right now is growing at a daily pace because it's learning from itself. It's literally teaching itself. Yeah, it has consumed so much knowledge. It literally here. Let me give you something that'll blow your mind grok 3, the latest ai tool, has consumed every bit of knowledge throughout entire mankind's entire history. Think about that for a second. Every book has been read and absorbed. Every statistic, every timeline, every date in history, every bit of knowledge that mankind has ever created in history has been consumed by grok 3, the latest ai.

Speaker 1:

Wow yeah, and to think they're going to give you better answers is between someone who's who's trying to do an AI thing and someone who's like it's literally has all the intelligence. It makes sense to utilize these. So how can people get involved at different levels with AI, like if you were to do like an entry level, like we're getting a little bit more involved, just to simplify, like we're getting a little bit more involved.

Speaker 2:

Just to simplify for people. Yeah, I think the biggest vertical that I found where you can get AI to work for you is I don't care if you're a dog walker, I don't care if you're a barber, I don't care if you're a hairstylist, I don't care if you're a chef in a restaurant. You need to tell your story. And the best way to tell your story, the best long format ad unit out there, is podcast interviews. Look at last year's election. You had Trump, who did whatever 100, 150, 200 podcast interviews. People got to know Trump. Kamala, kamala, kamala she did like three podcast interviews. She was petrified, you know, she couldn't stay sober or she couldn't get the words out of her mouth. Whatever.

Speaker 2:

People had a chance to get to know both candidates through podcasts and trump won the popular vote for the first time, I want to say, in 50 years as a republican, because people got to know them, got to know him. When people get to know you in a long format interview, like we're doing right now, people get to know you. If they get to know you in a long format interview, like we're doing right now, people get to know you. If they get to like you. People buy from people they like, but they have to get to know you before they get a chance to like you. Yes, so I tell people all the time that if you learned anything in 2024 that you can apply to 2025, you have to be doing podcast interviews. Even you like you should be doing podcast interviews, talking about your journey as a podcaster with other podcasters, because that's going to allow you to cross pollinate their fans, their listeners, into becoming your fans, your listeners.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I've actually started to become aware of that and I started reaching out to past guests and different people, being like, if you have a podcast, maybe there's a way to collaborate here. Because you're absolutely right, if you can hop on someone else's platform and they support you or you can learn about it in any way, it becomes a super valuable tool, especially when, if you think about it like the person's already listening to a podcast, they want to know who you are, they want to know what's going on. And then I start to see that in my life where I'm like, oh, that guy is really interesting, maybe I'll follow him. Then you start seeing how you become super aware and you're like, whoa, I just purchased from them. And it's this whole process and it becomes more and more legitimate.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, Well, see what you just tripped on seven, 10, 12 times. That's called frequency. And whether it's Grant Cardone, tony Robbins or your favorite athlete, the more you see somebody, the more you hear their story. The more they talk, the higher their frequency, the more you get to know them. And when you get to know somebody, you have a chance to get to like them. And when you get to like them, you'll buy anything that they sell.

Speaker 1:

Absolutely, and the other big thing that people I started to learn about recently was this polysocial relationship, where I started hearing about it a little bit more and essentially what it is is let's use Tony Robbins, for example, or Bill Gates Shout out to Tony and Sage his wife.

Speaker 2:

I love you both.

Speaker 1:

Absolutely. So let's think about it Like you might know Bill Gates, you might know Tony Robbins, you might not. You might know them personally, you might not. There's probably a lot of people who know of them and they might not know of us, but at that same moment, if you really think about it like they're having a relationship with us, because the amount of people who are like Tony, you've completely changed my life and he might've talked to you. He's never talking to you one-on-one. You know what I mean? It's an incredible, incredible thing and Tony's one of the best at that where he can create impact through his books, the audio files now, the podcast, seminars, all of it, and he doesn't even have to talk to you one-on-one. And it becomes this very interesting thing where you start to trust people more and more and more.

Speaker 2:

Well, a podcast is almost like a one-to-one conversation. Even though I'm talking to you right now, this podcast allows people to basically hear my conversation with you almost eavesdrop, and it becomes a conversation with them Also. They become the third party that comes into our conversation.

Speaker 1:

Yes, and that's the coolest thing to me is that you don't like Chris. They might know you better afterwards, but you might not know about them, but they know about you and it's really important about you, for exactly interviews.

Speaker 2:

And it's interesting because not necessarily strangers, but people that follow me on Instagram or even like you, for example, I didn't know you followed me on Instagram and all of a sudden you connected the dots. You're like oh fuck, I know that guy or I follow that guy somewhere. Well, even my friends that follow me. They're like hey, yo, I see you everywhere, Like what's going on, and I'm like listen, you got to get out there and tell your story. I don't care if your story is about sobriety, I don't care. Like here.

Speaker 2:

I met this guy the other day. He invented a toothpaste that has colloidal silver in there instead of fluoride, and I didn't know this. But colloidal silver kills all bacteria on contact, kills COVID, kills everything. Yeah, it's crazy. And I thought to myself this is pretty interesting, what a great story. So we did a podcast and one of my friends at a casino here in Vegas said hey, he had like a little Ziploc pouch that had a uh, uh, like a a light thing that you put your toothbrush in and it kills all the germs on your toothbrush just by putting the light on it. Um, I can't remember what I get infrared light or laser light or something and and so it came like in a pouch bag for 19 bucks, 20 bucks, and it had bar you know thing of toothpaste in there. It had the light thing, it had a toothbrush in there, had some uh floss and the guy has some like stuff that is like crazy good, like it's unbelievable. In fact, you know what I'm going to introduce you guys, so you guys can do a podcast together.

Speaker 2:

I tell you, you, when you find out the stuff that he's made, it's so fucking cool and here's the neat thing my buddy at the hotel said hey, we'd like to have that toothpaste as a special gift to our high roller guests in our suites. And you know they can test it and it's made. It's made of colloid. But here's the thing I don't know anything about that stuff unless I have that dialogue with him and when I have that conversation with him I.

Speaker 2:

It opens up so many doors, so him and I have one conversation now. He's inside of a casino and he's got a chance to put his pouch bag with the toothpaste and stuff in it into 1800 rooms.

Speaker 2:

Pouch bag with the toothpaste and stuff in it into 1800 rooms and, at the end of the day, podcasts give you that ability to have game changing conversations with people that I consider centers of influence, like, for example. You and I are going to have this talk. We're going to chop up this podcast interview, put it up on social media. People are going to listen to it on some level, either all of it or part of it, or some of it. But guess what? I'm going to reach people with my story that I would have never reached, and vice versa, you're going to reach people with your story that you would have never reached, and that allows you to scale. That allows you to scale at a very massive pace.

Speaker 1:

Yes, absolutely, and the best part is that, I think, is the coolest part is that it's not a one time thing, like it's constantly reoccurring and someone could find your podcast five years later and they still had that experience.

Speaker 2:

Number one, it's long format advertising, but number two it's evergreen content, which means it stays out there. Five years from now, Five years from now, people will see us have this conversation and they're going to be like hey, I like those guys, I'm going to follow those guys, I'm going to learn about those guys. I might even reach out to those guys.

Speaker 1:

Yes, absolutely, absolutely. So how do you think people could get involved in ai in a simple level of like educational? I think the simplest thing that anyone can do.

Speaker 2:

Like I said, I think the simplest, literally way that you can get ai to work for you is get you booked on podcasts. Podcast there's a, there's a marketplace for podcasts and podcast hosts or guests, where in between there's a process that requires to be done Introduction here I am, here's who I am, the whole nine yards and, at the end of the day, podcasts need good guests. They need interesting people and interesting people need to get their story told. So there's an intermediary there where AI can literally work and do that stuff for you, because the reaching out to podcasts and sending out emails and listening to the podcast and all that stuff that can be done by AI and that's the easiest. That was the easiest vertical that I found where I could put AI to work 24 hours a day and say listen, go to work, baby, just go to work for me.

Speaker 2:

Absolutely, absolutely, and I tell people this all the time you can't hire a human being that will work harder for you than an AI will. It's physically impossible. When I'm sleeping at night, AI is working for me 24 hours a day.

Speaker 1:

And they don't make mistakes either.

Speaker 2:

So that's the other crazy thing yeah, they and what. And it's crazy because ai used to lack personality and grok 3 now tells jokes. He's funny, he understands he is. They've injected personality into ai. So ai itself as a whole is getting is better. It's getting better. It's insane how quickly whole is getting better. It's getting better. It's insane how quickly it's getting better.

Speaker 1:

A hundred percent. A hundred percent. So what else in the future are you looking forward towards? I know you have a future interest on money and how you think that might go. How do you think about that? I?

Speaker 2:

actually think people should absolutely positively get their money out of the bank as much as you can and put it in Bitcoin. And I'll tell you why. Sometimes the sometimes the news is right here, right in front of your face, but because the way the news is so fucked up, they cover it up. They give you their own narratives and their bullshit. But the simple math, if you just do simple math, there's $73 trillion on deposit in the US banking system $73 trillion. Fdic only has $124 billion to insure $73 trillion.

Speaker 2:

If you haven't figured it out yet and I don't want people to be panicked, I don't want them to be freaked out the US banking system is insolvent. The dollar is basically a huge Ponzi scheme and, as far as I can see, the best mathematical money out there is Bitcoin. When the ship goes straight to hell in the banking system and we've already seen the banking system get hammered hard in 2008. And the government came in and printed more money and saved their ass, but that was not a solution to the problem. That was just a thumb in the dike and, at the end of the day, the banking system is extremely corrupt and managed. It's managed by politicians who are economic idiots in many cases shout out to chuck schumer yeah, no, it's interesting, it's very, very interesting, and for you, someone who's wow, victor wambinana, the seven foot four inch rookie for the spurs.

Speaker 2:

He's out for the rest of the season. Oh wow, oh yeah. I don't know if you like basketball, but the kidurs he's out for the rest of the season oh wow, yeah, I don't know if you like basketball, but the kid is a little bit.

Speaker 1:

No, I know he's a very popular guy. Yeah, I know he's a very popular guy, so it's interesting to me because Bitcoin is something that not a lot of people are. It seems like it's younger people are more involved with. There's obviously some older people getting involved, but what kind of opened your eyes to bitcoin? Because I feel like that's a different demographic than most, because most people are sitting there going I'm good. I don't need to explore that like what. What caused you to continue?

Speaker 2:

looking. So, about 10 years ago I was in the bahamas and I was at a casino, and I I won't say which casino, but there's only two of them that are worth going to down there.

Speaker 2:

And I won some money and it was a sizable amount of money. And I went to the cage and I said, hey, I want to wire my money back to the United States. They're like, oh, don't worry about it, Don't worry about it, We'll just give you cash. And I knew going through the airport with $160,000 in cash was a bad idea. And I told him 10 times that's a bad idea. No, no, no, no, no, We'll give you this letter. It's a get out of jail free card, Don't worry about it. And I'm like this just does not sound like a good idea. So I literally go to the airport and right away they're like hey, buddy, we got to talk and I ended up not getting the money through the airport, Like I thought took me six months to get it all resolved and it cost me $60,000 in bullshit fees and stuff that I had to pay.

Speaker 2:

And I realized back then I was never going to fucking find myself in a situation where I had to rely on cash, because cash is filthy money. It is the most filthiest money you can ever get. And at the end of the day, I started looking into Bitcoin more and more. I had already found out a little bit about Bitcoin through a friend of mine in Israel who was a big gamer at the time and every now and then he'd tell me about Bitcoin and I learned a little bit about it because I PayPal the money and he could buy it. He said he sent me Bitcoin and back then it was very, very rough, Like you had to use what's called a QT wallet and it was very, very rough Like you had to use what's called a QT wallet and it was interesting. And as I got more and more into Bitcoin, I started realizing this is the soundest, hardest money you can get Bitcoin it's transportable, it's secure. You are the bank At the end of the day. Have you ever gone?

Speaker 1:

to your bank and realized that they treat you like shit. Every I know I know what you're talking about because you literally will go in there and just you ask them the simplest thing and they're like come make an appointment, come do that, and you're like it's a simple activity, please.

Speaker 2:

you're literally begging them for your money. Well, here I'll tell you something that'll blow your mind. The first day Joe Biden took office, he allowed the banks to take custody of your money. See, banks used to have. There used to be a thing where banks were custodians of your money custodians your money was in a what's called a custodial account. When that changed, your money is no longer in a custodial account. You're actually giving your money to the bank and the bank owes you it back, but if the bank fails, you're shit out of fucking luck. Wow Bet, you didn't know that shit. Huh, I didn't Thanks a lot, sleepy Joe. Way to go, sleepy Joe.

Speaker 1:

It really is concerning.

Speaker 2:

Here's the thing there were more bank failures in 2024 than ever in the history of America and nobody talked about it. Now they can't talk about it because they'll be like, oh my God, you'll freak out people, they'll take their money out of the bank. Well, I keep telling people yeah, freak out, take your money out now while you can Buy Bitcoin, because you will control that money. Bitcoin is something that you can control. No third party is in between you and your money. You want to take $10,000 in Bitcoin out? Go ahead, it's all yours. I'll give you another example.

Speaker 2:

I went to play in a cash poker game here in Vegas and it was coming up in a couple of days. So I go to my bank thinking, hey, I'm going to get some cash out of the bank because that's what the bank's there for. They have cash. I needed $60,000. The bank only had $20,000 any given day. I had to make an appointment. They had to literally have a truck come and bring them cash just for me. And they're like, that's going to take seven days. I'm like, well, that's not good, I need that money. Like today, because I'm playing in a tournament in a game in two days. Like, well, sorry, sorry, go fuck yourself.

Speaker 1:

And I'm like 20 grand. Imagine how many clients are there. Imagine how.

Speaker 2:

Think about this for a second yeah, if you went to your bank today and said, hey, I need 60 grand in cash, I bet you every bank out there has very limited cash on hand, very limited.

Speaker 1:

I've actually heard you are not the first guest to bring that up. There has been several guests who said anything over 10 grand is like forever to get the money out Exactly and here's the crazy thing you have to beg them for your money you have to fill out forms, you have to explain what, what like.

Speaker 2:

When I explained to them what I needed the money for, it was like shocking. They're like oh my god, you're gonna play poker with sixty thousand dollars. I'm like lady, it's fake, it's vegas.

Speaker 1:

I'm not the only guy doing this yeah, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2:

she's like well, I don't know if I and here's the thing that blew my mind I don't know if I can approve that's the thing that blew my mind. I don't know if I can approve that and I'm like are you fucking crazy? That's my money. And when she said that he explained to me that it's no longer my money, it's the bank's money. The bank has to approve any expenditures like that, and I'm like holy fuck.

Speaker 1:

Oh, so that's when you start to learn about all this.

Speaker 2:

And you all this and you start doing the research and you start seeing it.

Speaker 1:

I just started realizing holy fuck.

Speaker 2:

It's no longer your money, it's the bank's money. They have to. They have to be willing, a willing participant in your poker game. Yeah, so you got to understand there's a lot going on in the world today that if people just ask a few questions, I always tell people listen, don't believe anything in life. Verify it all. Do a little bit of reading, a little bit of research and you will find the answers yourself. And when you do, your head will explode and you'll be like, oh my God, I can't believe all this shit is happening.

Speaker 1:

Absolutely. So what else is there that people should be on people's radar that maybe they're not thinking about today?

Speaker 2:

I know sometimes I'll be honest with you, If people focus on AI and Bitcoin for all of 2025 and podcast, if they do those three things, that's a lot right there, that's a lot. Absolutely, that's a ton. And I will say this, and nobody's talking about it, except for Trump mentioned it yesterday when we fire all these government employees and when AI replaces all these high paying jobs like lawyers, graphic designers, videographers, I can you know even self-driving cars, you get rid of all the Uber drivers. That's 300,000 people that rely on Uber for a part-time job. When you put all these people out of work which is happening, it's happening right now I give it. I give us about 10 months and you're going to have a serious problem where a lot of people have been replaced and didn't find another way to make money. The only people that are going to have a job in 10 months are entrepreneurs, people that know how to hustle, but a lot of these government employees they don't know how to fucking hustle. They've been stealing money for years.

Speaker 1:

Did you hear what happened with Washington's home prices? The home prices, the average home price, literally got cut in half because so many people lost their jobs that they all had to sell their homes. And now it's flooding the market. And now it's the home prices are actually dropping, which can be a good thing for some people. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

So think about this for a second. What happens when you deport 20 million illegal aliens? You're going to see less demand for homes and home prices are going to become more affordable. Yeah, so inflation is going to come down. You're going to see inflation come down, but the big challenge you're going to have is people are going to have to learn how to make money again. People are going to have to learn how to roll up their sleeves and hustle, and a lot of the people that are losing their jobs many of them don't know how to hustle.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, no, I mean, there's absolutely a point there where it becomes what is the actual skill or what is the actual value that you're providing? And I've been seeing it everywhere where I look around and, like you said, I maybe hire a marketing agency and you're like, well, like this AI can do it for like pennies on the dollar, like maybe I'll try them out. Well, ai is not cheap.

Speaker 2:

If people think that AI is cheap, it's not. It takes a while to build these AI assistants and get them to do what you want them to do, and they absorb a ton of data. That's one thing that people don't understand. Ai is like a Pac-Man it just consumes data all over the place.

Speaker 1:

Yeah. So, like you said, with the podcast and the Bitcoin and the AI, like how would somebody and I know you said get on different podcasts, but what should people be doing with the AI? Like, use it as the tools? So does that mean they should sign up for different programs or should they be playing around with ChatGPT or Grok or create them themselves? How do you?

Speaker 2:

think about that. Regarding AI, we built a managed service that we literally build that stuff for people and let them do the hard work which is replying to the podcasters and doing the interviews. That's one service. At the end of the day, you can build an AI assistant yourself on Grok. It may take a little while in learning how to do it, but once you do that, you can build all these different assistants and get them to work for you, and then you can house the data on an AWS server and do all that too.

Speaker 1:

So you're saying in general, it's important for people to start looking at this stuff and playing around in their extra spare time to learn about this, so that realize that, hey, I have to build up my brand.

Speaker 2:

I have to make sure that people are following me. I have to make sure that I have influence over the marketplace.

Speaker 1:

Yes, yes, absolutely, and it's very different when you're making money, when you're getting a paycheck, and then when you're also in that other dynamic where people are now like you do services for people and you do all these different things. So it causes a lot of people to think a lot differently.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, you have to think like a hustler. You have to think like somebody that's out there grinding.

Speaker 1:

Absolutely. And what causes you to continue on and continue motivation, because I know you had a successful exit and you invested in these different projects. Like what keeps you motivated, because I know that can be a struggle for a lot of people about, I want to say, six to eight months ago.

Speaker 2:

I don't sleep good at night anymore thinking about the future of this country and the future of humanity because of AI. I actually think it's going to get kind of scary. So I literally have been doing so much on my own, so much on my own. I've got a house slash compound I'm building out in Utah. I've got one here in Vegas that I have and I've become that guy I know.

Speaker 1:

I hate to say it, I've become the guy.

Speaker 2:

I'm the end of the world kind of guy. I'm literally, I'm stacking. You know, I got freezers with meat, I got canned food I can survive for about a year. I've got water making facilities. I got electricity making tools. I'm the guy. I literally became that guy, the guy that wants to live in the mountain so that when shit goes to hell. You know, I've invested in guns and bullets which, by the way, they are a good investment always. And yeah, I don't even. I don't even look at cars anymore, unless a car has a useful tool for me, unless it's a big pickup truck with a bed and can go. You know, four wheeling I look at. I look at everything as being end of the world.

Speaker 2:

I literally don't think people understand and I hope I'm wrong. I literally hope that. Hey, you know I went through a cuckoo phase or whatever, but I actually think that we are heading in 10 to 12 months for the greatest depression of our lifetime. That really, literally, I don't think people understand how insane it is. And here's the other crazy part. I think they're just scraping underneath the first layer of fraud and money laundering and crimes that have been committed against the American people by politicians. I think politicians have been stealing money from this country to the tune of trillions not trillion, but trillions and when that's uncovered you're going to see taxpayers really pissed off and say, hey, what the fuck you guys stole from me? When you money launder money from the taxpayers, you're literally. The victim is 350 million Americans. I'd hate to commit a crime against 350 million Americans. Shout out to Nancy Pelosi.

Speaker 1:

Because that's a lot of pissed off people. A hundred percent, you know, because that's a lot of pissed off people.

Speaker 2:

a hundred percent, and I there was even talks that people there's some talks around taxes, like where there won't even be taxes, like some people are going to be like trump's talking about getting rid of the irs and I think he's actually being preemptive about it because I think he's going to realize that when people find out the truth, they're going to be like why the fuck should I pay my taxes you guys stole from me, yeah a hundred percent, because it's becoming a very challenging place where you have to pay them and then you like who, who like they.

Speaker 1:

They need to be using it correctly. The money needs to be used properly and it's being misused or or it just needs to not be money laundered like when the idiot midget in ukraine says oh, I only got 75 billion.

Speaker 2:

Well, yo, motherfucker, we sent you 270 billion. Where's the extra? Yeah, like I don't know, I just bought a 60 million dollar house in switzerland. I do not know these things I've been hearing about that as well and even, even Zelensky himself said oh, you know, we money laundered it back to the Democrats. I mean, they were our friends. Joe Biden, you know I employed his son on the Burisma gas company.

Speaker 1:

It's crazy.

Speaker 2:

I mean, unless you realize crack is pretty expensive and fucking young Hunter Biden, that motherfucker, was going through a pound of crack a week, my god so so how?

Speaker 1:

how can people kind of get a head up on this if they can't buy a compound? I know they can learn ai, but like what else would be an actionable step for them to start considering, thinking about um, just so the audience can have something, because I don't want them to be concerned.

Speaker 2:

I want to get AI to work for you. Whether it's customer service, answering your phones, answering questions, doing legal work for you, doing graphic design thumbnails whatever you need it to do, put AI to work for you. It's going to be the best employee you ever hired and that's the most important thing that I would. I would tell people to get out of this conversation. By the way, you know, if you want to buy some land out, away from the major cities, when shit goes to hell, everyone goes mad max. That's probably not a bad idea either absolutely.

Speaker 1:

And then for the uh, for the whole bitcoin thing, how do you think about allocations in regard to? Do you keep it on like coinbase? Do you keep it on a ledger? Do you put it like?

Speaker 2:

if you don't have your private keys, it's not your bitcoin, not your keys, not your bitcoin. Remember that not your keys, not your bitcoin. So, if you get, if you keep your money at coinbase, it's just like keeping your money in a bank it's not your bitcoin, it's their bitcoin yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 1:

And then what do you think about all these like Fidelity allowing you to buy Bitcoin? Does that similar premise?

Speaker 2:

So they'll hold your Bitcoin and they'll take your cash. So at the end of the day, it's not your Bitcoin if they're holding it.

Speaker 1:

Yes, okay.

Speaker 2:

Very, very interesting. It's actually very easy to manage your own Bitcoin and get yourself a ledger wallet or a treasure wallet, a cold wallet, and basically have your Bitcoin in your hand at all times. It's actually pretty easy.

Speaker 1:

And the thing I found very easy because I have a ledger as well the thing I found entertaining about it is that whole story that you said with the money and you couldn't move the cash, you can literally take this USB and go anywhere in the world and no one will say anything to you.

Speaker 2:

Well, it's interesting that you say that, and I'll tell you why. I travel a lot and I recently went to Dubai, and one of the things that the US customs officials are now asking is do you have any Bitcoin on your person? It's one of the questions they're asking. S customs officials are now asking is do you have any Bitcoin on your person? It's one of the questions they're asking. Wow, yeah.

Speaker 1:

Interesting.

Speaker 2:

So a little FYI.

Speaker 1:

So what does that mean? How should we think about that differently? Do you travel with the ledger or leave it at home?

Speaker 2:

No, I don't travel with it. I mean, don't take this wrong. No-transcript Wow, wow, yeah, so that luckily him and his family got rescued. But you know you don't want to go around telling people you got bitcoin on you. At all times they're gonna say, hey listen, grab the fat bald guy and let's, let's get them absolutely so.

Speaker 1:

You got to be careful about this stuff, you got to be prepped, and there's just different ways to think about the world. You know what I mean. And then also, I know we talked about in the prep call and I know this is a little bit off beat, but you spoke about food and sugars and where to be careful about what we're eating, consuming. How do you think about that as well?

Speaker 2:

well, first of all, if you're going to fucking starbucks once a day, once a week, once a month, stop that fucking shit right now. If you ever look closely at, first of all, sugar all sugar is a silent killer. You don't even know what it's doing to you every time you put it in your body. Now, like anything in life, in moderation sugar is okay 10 grams or less per day but we live in a society where they're putting sugar in your fucking ketchup.

Speaker 2:

Ketchup used to be made without sugar and then all of a sudden some genius at Heinz corporation said hey, if we put this stuff that's five times more addictive than crack cocaine in our fucking ketchup, we'll get customers that are addicted to our fucking ketchup. Well, guess what they made 30 percent of Heinz ketchup sugar, actual raw cane sugar. Yeah, I have to order special ketchup just to get the one that's made without sugar. It's called simply yeah. By the way, if you can, it doesn't taste any different than other ketchup. It's just got no sugar, less sugar, in it.

Speaker 1:

The only sugar it has the natural sugar from the tomatoes it's amazing like we were on a flight, uh two days ago. And the seltzer bottle, like they handed us a like sprite or something. It was some different bottle 39 grams of sugar in one in one.

Speaker 2:

Think about that for a second you're in a sedentary position in a flight and you're consuming, in a liquid form, 39 grams of sugar. Well, guess what? Your body only needs about 10 to 20 grams a day, the whole day. Now your fucking pancreas has to start producing insulin to break down all that sugar. Because you're sedentary, you're not moving around, you're not burning any of that sugar. Literally you're fucking.

Speaker 1:

You're destroying the inside of your body right there so super important guys if you're eating sugar, just be aware of what you're looking at and be aware of, like, how much is being consumed, because it can be very challenging.

Speaker 2:

There's two things that you should absolutely look for in your foods sugar and salt sodium. Both of those in moderation are OK, but anytime you get more than you need, your body has to fight that off. Your body has to defend itself from that. Those are two minerals that do not do good things to your body over time.

Speaker 1:

Absolutely. And the easiest way to figure this out is literally, and I have a coaching program, so the easiest way to do that is I tell people, if they want to remove sugar, literally just adjust your food shopping. And it's tough if you're traveling a lot, but if you adjust the food shopping you might always buy cereal for breakfast and just switch that for eggs, Like. Once you start getting all these habits done, then it becomes a habit where you buy this certain protein bar that doesn't have sugar. You have this certain habit that doesn't have. That. It'll exponentially change things and you'll start. Yes, it's a pain the first time, but once you find the winners, you just keep going to the winners and I think that makes a huge difference for a lot of the people.

Speaker 2:

You know it's funny. You talk about breakfast and how you start your day. Your body actually wants to start its day with a liquid so that it can process very quickly the nutrients that it needs to distribute to your body. Remember when you went to bed? You probably stopped eating a few hours before you went to bed, so your body has literally fasted for about 12 hours. What your body needs when you wake up is nutrition, and the quickest way to get nutrients to your body is not in a solid food like eggs or cereal, but in a liquid food like a shake, a protein shake. Add some protein, add some fruit, add some whatever you want, whether it's milk or whatever and then literally put all that stuff together and let your body absorb that liquid, because now you get, let's say, 30 to 50 grams of protein in liquid form. Your body can take that and it can distribute that protein very quickly through your system.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, absolutely, I always tell people start your day off with something liquid and, by the way, coffee is not a bad way to start off your day, sometimes too, because that's a liquid that gets. That gets caffeine in your system. Your system gets pumped up a little bit and then it gets moving a little bit. If you're going to have caffeine, the morning is actually the best time, because you want to get your day going, you want to start your day off good.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, absolutely Absolutely. So where can people learn more about you, chris? Because this has been fascinating. We've touched on AI, we've touched on Bitcoin, we've touched on sugar and how people should be living and podcasting, of course. How can people learn more about you? How can they hear about your programs? What would be the best way to go about that?

Speaker 2:

You can find me on most social medias with I am Chris Champion. I am Chris Champion. If you can't find me that way, then you're either stupid or out of luck. So it's one of those two. And by the way, just so we're clear, my grandmother taught me a long time ago people only pay attention to 75% of what you say when you don't swear, and they pay 100% attention when you do swear. So if my swearing offends anybody whatsoever, I don't give a fuck. Thank you.
