1.  An injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. This crisis is cuba is something that has been going on for the greater part of 60 years. The cuban people have been beaten, oppressed, starved & just denied basic human rights, no matter HOW you try to swing the story. The cuban people have taken out to the streets in the biggest demonstration of demanding a better quality of life since early 1990s. The beautiful thing though is that it seems this generation will not go down without a fight. We are not asking to share the answer that will end this issue right now but all we are asking is for some sincerity & empathy around the situation  & most importantly just stay informed.
2. 75 hard is a challenge that was created to allow you to achieve the best version of yourself that you possibly can . It is a challenge engineered to allow you to reach a different part of your brain & really tap into what makes you tick but seeing some challenges out in front of you & really testing your mental fortitude.

Its crazy to me that it's the year 2021 & Marijuana the same drug we give to our cancer patients is still getting athletes suspended. Its honestly asinine, this time the axe swung on 
Sha'Carri Richardson, she finds herself suspended from this next race due to a drug she tested positive for to help cope with the death of her mother.  On this episode we talk about the ruling around the Sha'Carri Richardson suspension , we understand that the rules are the rules but I honestly feel these type of things should be looked at with nuance.

You would have to be living underneath a rock far far far below the earth's crust to not have heard of the debacle that transpired at the Tour De France.  During the race there was this huge crash at the Tour De France due to a spectator standing just a little bit too close with this huge sign that interfered with the race & helped result it into a crash. This spawned the conversation of essentially what it was that happened but also it begged the question "Do we allow to much access to the games/events for fans?". 

Thank you so much for tuning in & we hope you enjoy as always If anything stood out to you about this episode please don't hesitate to share with a friend, it really helps out a lot thank you!

In this episode we also just peel back multiple layers in terms of life, we start the episode with the great news of Ray getting married, to finance & taxes, student loans even crypto currency finds a way to stick its pretty little head in there. This is really an episode that we know  youre going to love!

The financial markets feel like they are always in a doosy, honestly if it's not one thing it is the other. This time though it happens to be Bitcoin, as the crypto markets have seen a significant pullback so has Bitcoin. Seeing as it had all time high's north of 60k having it float around in the 30's has thrown a wrench into the system for some.  We are always going to be transparent on this podcast so you know we needed to discuss what was going on in regards to Bitcoin.

The episode has a lot more to share with you, we also go into the topic of the state of how we see things & how things can trend in the regards of Covid, things have become much more relaxed if you are vaccinated & what you are able to do. On this episode we discuss more so the marketing behind needing to get the vaccine. I mean at the end of the day it is for the greater good no? I mean that's honestly up for you to decide because who knows. & so much more!

If you talk to any investor that has been doing it a while & that has been able to preserve & grow there capital you will see one underlying trend with them all is there ability to be able to assess and manage risk to use it to their advantage. We would never tell you what you need to do with your money maybe & everyone is entitled to have fun just remember to be careful. Investments like Dogecoin are definitely fun but like everything else they carry their risk, build knowledge so your knowledge helps build your conviction that will then start you down the path of action!

• The coolest part of the NFL draft is the fact that over a span of a couple days  every NFL fan gets to day dream & fantasize what a perfect season coming up is going to look like for them, or atleast drum up any ounce of hope of having a more stable & solid team. You also have the fact that so many young men our having there lives changed potentially forever with this new opportunity now that they have to play in the NFL, hearing your number get called is just a euphoric feeling. This 2021 NFL draft ended with a lot of now antsy fans that are excited to see the product their team pushes out onto the field, or they've just been completely heart broken. Thankfully as Miami Dolphin  "fans" we have an extra ounce of hope for a pretty cool season.
• I want to just take a moment to let you know that we are not your financial advisors but we are individuals that like to point out cool financial  events that are happening in the world. Recently Dana White and the UFC went public on the stock market as The Endeavour Group (EDR) , if you give two hoots about anything stock related then you know this is something you should pay attention too. The cool thing about the UFC is that its a unique product, with a more than proven brand & track record that just continues to grow & get bigger every year, we don't see them going nowhere.  There recent slew of events is a perfect example of that. They recently hosted UFC  261 headlining with Kamaru Usman vs Jorge Mas Vidal & wow was this an event. Not just did you have a bout for the welterweight division but you also had someone completely shut the lights off in the co main event starring  Weili Zhang & Rose Namajunas. What an event & honestly this doesn't stop here, lets see what else UFC & Dana White have up their sleeve.
• The Miami Heat will always be in our hearts, we ride & die for this team  in the cheesiest way a sports fan can with his beloved team. The regular season is about to come to an end in the next few weeks & miami is currently bouncing around its still unknown how this seeding might take place for them. A first round matchup with the Knicks would be interesting, I even believe a first round with Philly would be fun to watch lets see what happens. One thing is for certain though, that no matter the team as long as we have Jimmy Butler they are in trouble!

UFC 261 was an all around solid event, two knockouts that were definitely contenders for knockout of the year! Being that we are from Miami we were riding with our main Jorge Masvidal unfortunately it didn't end in celebration but wow what a fight. If for any reason on this god's green earth there was any doubt if Kamaru usman was a bad man I hope this clears up any doubt for you! Kamaru set up a 1-2 combination there that I know he will smiling at for a while. The UFC is only getting bigger & bigger, it is safe to say that Dana White & the UFC are here to stay.

One of the best comedians on this earth Andrew Schulz put on a phenomenal show over in West Palm Beach that we just really had to shout him out for.  Comedy is just so crucial for our everyday lives, we must seek the humor we must seek those laughs, they do amazing things for our psyche! Allow comedy to be funny and don't take it so serious at the end of the day remember its here to make you laugh what are you upset about?

"In 1971, five high school students in San Rafael, California, used the term "4:20" in connection with a plan to search for an abandoned cannabis crop, based on a treasure map made by the grower. Calling themselves the Waldos, because their typical hang-out spot "was a wall outside the school", the five students — Steve Capper, Dave Reddix, Jeffrey Noel, Larry Schwartz, and Mark Gravich —designated the Louis Pasteur statue on the grounds of San Rafael High School as their meeting place, and 4:20 pm as their meeting time. The Waldos referred to this plan with the phrase "4:20 Louis". After several failed attempts to find the crop, the group eventually shortened their phrase to "4:20", which ultimately evolved into a code-word the teens used to refer to consuming cannabis." That right there ladies and gentleman is how years later we are still lighting up a join on the infamous April 20th. 

The super league, many of you may be reading this or listening to this episode & may have no idea what the super league is, so i'm going to break it down for you real simple. The Super League (organised by the European Super League Company, S.L.), commonly referred to as the European Super League (ESL), was a proposed annual club football competition to be contested by twenty European football clubs. The competition would consist of fifteen "founding clubs" – who would be permanent participants in the competition and govern it – alongside five other European clubs who would qualify based upon their performance in their domestic league's most recent season. It was planned as a breakaway competition to rival or replace the UEFA Champions League, Europe's premier club football tournament organised by UEFA. Basically a little boy clubs of rich as your imagination can roam owners coming together to devise one of the biggest distribution of wealth of all time. Luckily for football fans world wide since announcing there plans a bunch of marquee "founding" teams have pulled out of this nonsense. Tune into this episode to hear us discuss. 

The ups and downs when it comes to bitcoin have been a thing since its dawn, historically year over year it only climbs, hodl and watch what happens.

The year is 2021 & bitcoin has officially hit 64,000, what a ride it has been for a lot of bitcoiners & the crazy part is that the ride still is not over. It seems that we have entered the first year of true institutional support in regards to bitcoin, more public companies holding it than ever & now you have Coinbase going pubic! On this podcast we have been bullish about Bitcoin for some time & we don't see anytime soon that stance changing. On this episode we discuss how bitcoin is essentially the bank of the internet, what it means to have a hard money & why you should probably stop ignoring Bitcoin.

• Love it or hate it Marijuana is here to stay, theres no denying that at this point & why should it go anywhere? The plant is truly  a thing to marvel at, just the anatomy of it in terms of CBD & THC  and how they perfectly cancel each other out is cool. I wont lie we could've done a better job in terms of being "pro" Cannabis but the point we wanted to bring up here is are we being careful enough? are we being objective enough? or are we just being rebels & indulging in this "natural" plant as we deem fit & not demanding more science on this because god knows what?  No doubt that with Cannabis comes this amazing euphoric feeling but at what cost? It cant be that bad right they give it to cancer patients? At the end of the day we just feel like the science isn't concrete enough & were strapped in for the ride to see how  this goes. In no way are we trying to sway you away or endorse anything but its more so about  getting you to think about where you stand on this & what this may mean for you.
• Theres a lot of great ted talks out there that cover the topic of cannabis but we wanted to shout out some in particular that you may find some value  in. Remember at the end of the day like with any piece of information its up to you to decide what this is going to mean for you.

• Never be afraid of attempting to live the life or  be scared of the experiences that you think you want in this world , every moment even this one is a chance for you to continue or start to live the life  that you want. Adrian had a really cool story about his experience recently around sky diving & how he is basically still riding that high from that jump, whats stopping you from seeking your high?
• This rock that we all inhabit  collectively is much much more than just a rock, its a pretty fascinating & complex one at that. Earth now & always will still need our help in terms of its preservation , just about everything we need in this is already on here but its up to all of us to make sure it stays this way, luckily as a society we are becoming more aware & conscious about our carbon footprint. Beautiful sites like Zion & Yosemite wont continue to be possible if we  dont tap into whats important when it comes to preserving Earth. 
• Take a moment to do the things that are going to help you feel more human, a lot of the times it can truly be as simple as going outside & connecting with nature for just a few moments. Allow yourself to comeback down to earth & be mindful of all carbon forms of life & inanimate things around you, center yourself see how that works out for you..

• Transfer of information, we are so lucky that we live in such a time that we as humans have the ability to transcend space & time all powered off an app on our phones. This very podcast is an example of how information is transferred so easy thus making accessing value such an easy & effortless thing to do. This week we were able to dig into Brian Greene's brilliant writings in "Until the end of time", wow am I grateful for the times we live in.
• Lead with your purpose, be okay & comfortable with your decisions & just get after it! Theres honestly no better time than the present

• NFT's! What are they? Where can you find them? Can you believe it's not butter? These are all talking points we are able to go over on this weeks episode. I know for some it literally may feel like everyone & their mother is involved in Non Fungible Token's(NFT) & to be honest that may just be true but it doesn't make the concept any less cool.  With anything in this world there's going to be your draw backs & the things that make it absolutely amazing, what gets me excited is that we can only go up from here & how an artists decides to get paid is starting to change forever.
• Clubhouse has been the next addition in terms of value apps. The amount of community & insight you have access too on this app is truly gold & I can't overstate this enough. The fact you can join these different rooms with these different industry leaders & OG's has truly been a gift OH & its FREE, not one dime the only thing that's expected from you is electricity & an internet connection.  

If anything from this episode stood out to you at all please share this episode with a friend (:

• Bitcoin, with the time more and more Bitcoin has only stood the test of time proving its reliability more and more & becoming a larger storage of value. A pretty cool thing that has been Brough to my attention that in terms of "hype" Bitcoin is actually trending lower in terms of search results & such, which goes to show this value storage growing organically for which if you are a believer it is just honestly beautiful to see. If all S&P 500 companies were to allocate 1% of their cash to bitcoin, estimates show that its price would increase by approximately $40,000
• Digital Wallets, this industry itself is already so strong so valuable & the amazing thing is with more time this industry will continue to shape out what we can do. This "Fintech" revolution that we are living in is next level, I mean you have Credit Karma which is an app that is now checking your credit score for you on the daily. Theres things like Cashapp & Venmo that allow me to pay my peers for an avocado & never have to deal with cash. I mean you can buy stocks now on some of these same apps that youre allowed to exchange money on & this just honestly the BEGININNG so buckle up its going to an amazing & fruitful ride.
• Until recently, humans programmed all software. Depp learning, a form of artificial intelligence (AI), uses datat to write software. by "automating" the creation of software, deep learning could turbocharge every industry. Artificial Intelligence, I know for some it may literally be decades since they've heard the dawn of AI is among us & truthfully those people didn't deceive you or lie to you in anyway its just the exponential growth hasn't necessarily caught up to where we've assumed it would, but the fundamentals of AI continue to remain untouched & are just growing stronger which is why things now are looking the dawn of Artificial Intelligence that allot have been waiting for. As more & more people get involved with the space more innovations it causes but also the cheaper it gets to perform in this industry. 

• "The Little Things" is out in theaters & streaming anywhere you can stream HBO Max on. Here on this episode we give you the movie review that you need for this film. Did you love the movie, hate it or just feel indifferent about it?
• The legend of Tom Brady has gotten to a point that were currently living in it and its just something that's still unbelievable to me. Congratulations to you Tom Brady on your seventh ring. On this episode we discuss briefly just being able to witness greatness.
• What has your fitness journey looked like thus far? What has your fitness aspirations that you set for yourself evolved into? On the last episode we spoke about how we started a 10 week fitness challenge with our friends & now to add an extra layer to this Jay has started intermittent fasting, thank you so much for tuning & we hope you love the episode!

• Health & Longevity are synonymous, if you want your body to work good you need to be good to it! We are in a beautiful time where we have so much quality information available to us & as time passes & technology continues to progress this data just gets better and better, essentially there's no reason why you shouldn't at least take some steps to reward your body for how good it is to you. 
• Jeff Bezos has announced he will be stepping down as Amazon Ceo. This news with Jeff Bezos is so cool for different cool reasons, the first one in our opinion being all the new potential that will continue to be created with space travel.Huge opportunity for growth within this sector(especially talking to my stock traders)  We know that Bezos has the capabilities to transform a space as he did with Amazon(No pun intended) thanks to Bezos this will lend even more innovation to space travel.

1. The knowledge we seek in this world is out there & in abundance & specifically if its more financial literacy that you seek. In these times that we are in right now there are no excuses to not be able to learn the things that we need to learn. A lot of the times it just comes down to where our priorities fall. Here at Franchise Audio we've been preaching financial literacy & we plan to continue to preach it because its cool & its really important. don't be your own worst enemy start doing the things you need to do now to make sure you can live a more conformable tomorrow.
2. Father Time is undefeated, it is the one constant that we can always account for being in the mix. Time, it been a year since the tragic passing of Kobe Bryant in this time so much things have happened that one can do a whole Netflix special on it. Kobe left us too soon but his legacy is still felt to this day, leaving a whole sea of inspired & grateful beings. On the anniversary of the passing of Kobe Bryant please take a moment to be grateful and hug & kiss a loved one today, everyday is all we have!
3. We are 20 days + into the new year & in typical fashion a bunch of us have made New Years resolutions & goals for ourselves. With one being in the middle of all of it you can forget that sometimes you have to lift your head up & smell the roses! This is your reminder to do so, you work too hard to always be so stressed especially if it is about a "what if" take a load off & ENJOY! 

• No matter what the obstacle is whether that is a new president, new job new found form of stress, you will always be the one in control maybe not total control but you will have control. Its up to us to be the chief in our lives, to not allow ourselves be ruled by emotion entirely. Huge change is among us & we honestly shouldn't be happier change is good & I know we couldn't be happier going through it with you all. If god continues to wake you up its for SOMETHING don't waste too much of your time on unnecessary thoughts.

• Comedy is king, comedy is needed, comedy is ESSENTIAL. But it needs to be comedy, it MUST be funny & @andrewschulz Schulz Saves America was exactly that. Not only was it comedy but it was an evolution of the art form, a raise of standards in terms of the public indulging in a comedians passion. We highly, highly recommend if you haven't watched the special to please check it out on Netflix whenever you get a chance & if you do watch it message us & lets discuss it! 

• Recent news broke speaking about the brother Delonte West & how his road to recovery seems to be paved & collecting tolls! Which is great news it was recently reported that he has been able to find a job & has been reunited with his mother. News like this couldn't make me happier, like they say we aren't alone in this world and I love when I see us living up to our greatest potential & picking up those around us only to help them live what we see in them. For those that are unaware of Delonte West's situation, Delonte is an ex basketball player that has struggled with his mental health & the path of life has not taken him the most favorable way, after his struggles became public Marc Cuban went to go pick him up and help set him on the right path, thank you Marc.

1. Abel's experience & pedigree within the digital marketing space is undebatable thats why it was such an honor to have him on to be able to peel the layers back on a boss's brain.  "Its better to have momentum than perfection" don't forget that energy can be one of the best assets as humans we can have. Stop waiting for the perfect moment, get moving, get active be a little more vindictive in your actions for the things that you want.
2. No matter what your walk of life in this world is we are all human beings at the end of the day that are all going through this ride of life together & I  truly feel thats showcased throughout this episode but the best part is that  you have Abel's beautiful insight on how to deal with these nuances in life.  Insight on things like business, stress, how to be accountable & be more effective.

1. Life is too short to just idly sit around and watch it go by, their is nothing we can't do & we are the masters of our own fate! In this one you're going to hear many examples where Eddie has employed those principles for himself or has been moved by someone that can. Whens the last time you did something for the first time?
2. Finance & financial freedom is a game, you can either choose to learn the rules & play to win or choose the losers circle. Even though success for everyone looks completely different but one thing we can not due is ignore it, embrace it. On this episode you'll hear Eddie share with us some of his best practices to just hep you secure a richer life.
3. Love yourself! but more importantly love the life you live & if thats a life you can't love right now then what are you going to do to change it? The ball is in your court & thats just always where its going to stay, now lets make a play :)

1. We have all been in the awkward situation in public when someones kid is just checkmating you, no matter what they do they have a hold on your emotional being especially if they're just straight up annoying you. Eddy had the absolute pleasure to be able to fly from the "World's Most Friendliest Airport" in Phoenix Arizona. You can only imagine that he was faced with his own bundle of terror to deal with.
2. Its thanksgiving week, yeah it may just be aby other day on the calendar but it really is a day to self reflect just a little & really dial in with those things that make you feel whole as a person like family, love, companionship. Don't take the time for granted, allow it to be a day that fills your heart up with love to help you conquer the days we have coming up ahead. Here at Franchise Audio we are thankful for you, and we honestly couldn't say that enough.
3. In this episode we discussed the concept of conscious spending, how one can effectively live the life they want to live if they're aware if how they're spending & most importantly saving and investing those earnings. We all want to live a rich life but it wont happen overnight, its with practices & commitments like conscious spending that will help us get to the places in life we want to be.

1. It's safe to say that Eddy can't be trusted when it comes to managing his risks in the stock market. You know the one thing that every professional tells you that YOU MUST do. "Smart people learn from their own mistakes, WISE people learn from the mistakes of others" & thankfully for you theres things to learn from Eddy's situation. Managing risk isnt just something that should be applied for the market you want to practice managing risk in just about in every aspect of your life, one cant always control the out come but it helps if risk has been managed properly!
2. Exercise is something every responsible adult should do, it has been proven to improve your life in many ways. Now with that being said, at times it cans till be a challenge to to be motivated enough to remain consistent. Good news is that it starts with you, as long as your internal dialogue around the subject remains intact & your spirits remain high those goals you've set for yourself can be achieved, you just need to believe!
3. Motivation can be such a fleeting thing, if not capitalized on at times it can be too late. Let today be the start great things for you, let today be the day you start giving yourself the life that you deserve, let's make today a part of history.
4. We all have different opinions on an array of different topics, but in my opinion practicing sustainability is one of the most beautiful things we can do. Take the planet we live on for example look at the sustainable being that it is, isnt it amazing? Now obviously we are not planets but why cant we learn some lessons from the nature around us & also help benefit it? It can be as small as starting to recycle or as big to growing a garden where you can feed yourself and your loved ones. Think for just a moment "What can I be doing differently?"

1. Passion is everything, one must continue to find a way to tap into their most passionate being, don't be afraid to live your best life. At the end of the day being successful means doing what you love on your own time.

2. When investing into the stock market remember that it is not your friend & it is only kind to those that have done their research. When investing just be knowledgable.

3. No matter what when it comes to this external wold that we are living, you are the captain. yes things like President & etc may influence those things around us but at the end of the day we are the ones in control!
