The Problem with Graham Stephan

The last video I made on Graham was about 4 years ago, I’ve been posting videos alongside him for 5 years now. When I make a video on him, it's beucase I’m genuinely interested. He posted a video talking about how he is no longer engaged, and I wanted to go over some points. 💲Patreon Exclusive💲 https://www.patreon.com/tommybryson 😎Call Me😎: https://bit.ly/30IBr0i 😎Second Channel😎: https://bit.ly/3c4sVPS 👨🏽‍💻Financial Freedom Course👨🏽‍💻$100 OFF CODE: LONGTERM Link: https://longtermteam.teachable.com/p/financial-freedom-steps-from-nothing-to-freedom 1. Not engaged ( only so many ways you can say the same things ) - I’m 2 years Graham Junior on the financial aspect, his 2 years mine also since I’ve been - posting for 9 years on YouTube seriously - So although he may be more successful than me, it doesn’t mean I don’t have any advice I could give him Remaking content, and limited amount of content ( 7 years of work, over 1k videos ) - It is why most YouTuber default to news, updates, and trends - It is simple and the basics work - People stumble, watch, and move on - Nothing new to talk about Example: - Dave Ramsey is the older person doing this - And he doesn’t make videos like this, his content is about other people - And he uses a hammer for everything - I used to think you couldn’t use 1 tool for every person but you can when the tool works - And for finance, it’s the same thing What I think: - He is right - For me what works is reading and making vids about that - Answering individual questions - But even for me, reading the same finance book has gotten a little repetitive - But whenever I stop, I start doing stupid things - So I think it's an important task, to rinse and repeat 2. Just got married - Invest in marriage not financially but with knowledge - You will have different wants and not be on the same page - It’s a forever commitment - It should not feel like it's you and her, it should feel like it's we - That’s hard for a lot of smart people because they want prenups, they want security, and when someone is used to doing things their own way for a long time ( they just quit when things get hard ) Ps. My favorite part about my wedding was the people, that’s all I remember for the most part My advice: - It seems like the dumbest thing ever, but not having a prenup and being fully committed to someone makes the difference - And taking that risk is worth it - And combining all your finances is worth it - It's not like the person can just go do whatever they want - But you put systems in place 3. Social Media Addiction Justification because we work it Massive distraction I’m close to going cold turkey honestly - Getting a phone with only WhatsApp - And using my Kindle more - It’s a trash way to spend life 4. Advice: read your money or your life - Work is not just the things that make you money - I think we have so much ambition to achieve things that won't last - And we can often have what we need today, but instead keep chasing more stuff * PRO TIP* INFORMATION IS EVERYTHING 💲Patreon Exclusive💲 https://www.patreon.com/tommybryson 👕Merch👕 https://teespring.com/stores/tommybryson ✅2 FREE AUDIOBOOKS✅ https://amzn.to/2Enayo8¬¬¬ 🎁ACORN FREE $5🎁 Link: https://acorns.com/invite/38EYSU ⚡FREE KINDLE UNLIMITED⚡ (traditional reading) Link: https://amzn.to/2VGbxt9 👨🏽‍💻DISCORD PRIVATE GROUP👨🏽‍💻 https://discord.gg/EcZEHpA My Camera Gear: https://www.amazon.com/shop/tommybryson ✔ Help Us Reach 600,000 Subscribers: https://goo.gl/0wvm6w 😎All My Social Media😎 Link: https://linktr.ee/tommybryson --- Disclosure & Educational Disclaimer: Some links in this video may be affiliate links, and I may earn a commission.
