Jerremy, welcome to the show.

Chris, this has been months in the making. I’ve been waiting for this for so long. Thank you.

I’m fired up to have you on. For the audience that isn’t familiar with you, share a little bit more about your background, history, and how you started Real Life Trading.

I know a lot of your readers are real estate enthusiasts. My profession has been in the stock market for the last years. My business partners and best friends are all in real estate. I love real estate. The way I got started in stocks is an ironic story that has a cool ending. It’s the movie, Forrest Gump. Eighty percent of the way through the movie says that Lieutenant Dan took his Bubba-Gump Shrimp Company and invested it in the fruit company. They no longer had to worry about money. I asked my dad, “What’s investing? What’s the fruit company?” I thought it’d be to not to worry about money anymore.

He told me about Apple, what investing is and how the stock market works. I thought it was such an intriguing concept, begged him to buy some shares of Apple. He’s like, “This is a movie. It doesn’t quite work that way. This is fiction.” I begged him and he eventually gave in. He was like, “You bring me some money. I’ll match it dollar for dollar.” I picked blackberries, push and sold them door to door in the summer of 1994 and made $1,500. I’m selling blackberries at six. Sure enough, to his word, he had to borrow some money from my uncle and we bought $3,000 worth of Apple stock in 1994.

What’s wild is I started my investing career worth about $3,000 too on my first real estate property and that was in the ‘90s as well. I got a couple of years on you here. We’ve had a lot in common with respect to the stock market, to real estate and I know that’s not all you do but with Real Life Trading, you guys have courses that span a lot of different things now. That’s what brought us together in I remember our first conversation. Next-Level Income is all based around education and at some point, it leads up to the investing part but education comes first. Tell us what people can find on the website, what was your first course and how did it get started?

My very first course was teaching individuals about a strategy called covered calls. For all of you real estate fans out there, you’ll love this one. Covered calls is renting out your stock. If you have houses, you rent them out and people live in them. When you own at least 100 shares of a company, you can rent out those shares per person at a higher price. They pay you for that opportunity to rent out your stock like someone pays you to live in a house. That was the very first product I ever released. I taught it at real estate places because most people who are interested in the stock market, generally, are real estate professionals because in real estate, the parlay into stocks is quite easy and vice versa. I’m teaching covered calls and end up teaching something called the core, which is how you can sell or rent out your stock and use that rent money to buy insurance on that position so you can create an unlosable trade for a certain period of time.

It was like, “Would you want to make 2% or 19%?” When you get into one of those situations in stock, you can have an absolute unlosable trade for a certain period of time mathematically. That excites people because it’s so rare for people to talk about not losing money in the stock market. People who generally deem the stock market as risky and gambling and that’s because they don’t know. Real estate has been around for thousands of years. It doesn’t matter if we build or buy it but we got to live somewhere. The US stock market’s been around for many years. If your dad’s dad doesn’t teach your dad’s dad about it, none of your lineages, your mom’s mom, if none of them know, you don’t know. It’s simply miseducation that what’s keeping so many people from the stock market.

There’s so much to know. I always said it’s like playing the World Series of Poker. I talked to a lot of people. Younger investors are like, “I’m doing this and that.” I was in the ‘90s trade and I talk about this in my book. I was day trading and learned some hard lessons. I made a lot of money, lost a lot of money but learned some invaluable lessons that were cheap at the time. People that are naive, I said, “Have you taken a course? Do you know what you’re doing? How long have you been doing this?” “No, my friend told me this and that.” I said, “Would you sit down at the World Series of Poker against these guys and do that because that’s what you’re doing if you don’t know? It’s a skillset.” Would you agree?

Money On Every Trade: Real estate has been around for thousands of years. It doesn’t matter if we build or buy it, but we have to live somewhere.

Absolutely. I love that analogy and I love your book. The analogy is amazing because so many people do say, “All the stock market is gambling.” I was like, “I know professional gamblers, people who make money full-time gambling essentially, playing poker or even roulette.” I don’t know anyone who makes money playing craps professionally but I do know roulette players and poker players who can money consistently and It’s amazing. They have a system, risks, rules and they have a plan. It’s a systematized strategy that they follow over and over. Trading is a lot of second-grade Math, a little bit of Division, percentages all the time, some decimals here and there, that’s it. You can use a calculator or an Excel spreadsheet because you buy $1,000 shares of any company in the world. If it goes down $0.70, you will lose $700 or if it goes up to $1.20, you make $1,200.

That’s a very real-life example of what happened to me. Now, one of my main stocks, my day trade for cashflow is AMD, Advanced Micro Devices. I know what they are, how they work, I liked them, everyone knows what AMD is. They have what’s called an Average True Range of $3 a day. This thing moves up and down $3 a day almost all the time. I don’t know what direction it’s going to go but it generally moves about $3 a day. If I can carve out a $1.90 on 2,000 shares, that’s almost $4,000 a week that might require approximately three hours of work once you know what you’re doing. Meaning it’s not that hard. Today I took a trade on AMD, I lost $1,000 on it, took another trade on AMD today and I made $1,800 on it. The difference between those two numbers is $800. I made in $800 today in cashflow. I can take that, buy an asset, virtual assistant, employee coaching session book. I can take that money or cashflow that I made and reinvest it in my future self.

That’s the strategy I teach. If anybody read the book or familiar with it, we talk about make, keep and grow. You need to make more money, keep more of that money by proper strategies whether that’s in that’s tax strategy, insurance strategy and you need to grow the money. You take that money that you’re making an excess of what you’re doing and growing it. That’s exactly what you’re talking about. That’s one of the things you do. You teach people how to make money in addition to doing what they’re typically doing. I love what you said about second-grade Math because I have a 3rd and 5th-grader graduating here and they’ll be a 6th and 4th grade.

My third grader loves to make money. We went to a lacrosse tournament. My eleven-year-old is playing in a lacrosse tournament. Do you know what my third grader’s doing? He made comic book copies and selling his comic book series. He made $66. I may have him do one of your courses because he’s the guy that can use his second-grade Math to do this. If somebody is saying, “What’s a good course to start with?” You even teach your children are teenagers that want to learn. I learned at eighteen from a family friend about the stock market but I was self-taught after that.

I do my best to create educational components for anyone of all ages because I went to college to learn this and you know how it turned out. It was fun to party but you don’t learn a lot of on-the-job training. For me, I went out and realized that there’s a lot of seminars, conferences and webinars but they’re generally boring me. I love your stuff, podcast, content and book. It’s beautiful. It’s valid to the point that it’s informational but it’s also exciting. At least it’s not tone-in for your brain. That’s what I tried to do. I went out and created a bunch of content that’s free so that people can remove, “I don’t have the money,” barrier because I love taking that excuse away from people. They go like, “I don’t have the money.” I’m like, “It’s free. What is your excuse now?” It will come up with, “I’m busy.”

I made it for free. You can go to RealLifeTrading.com, a beautiful green button that says, Beginner. Click on the Beginner section and start going through the Beginner’s classes. Anyone can do that. I do have for kids or for young adults course that’s designed for children. The cool crazy part, I taught this class in March 2021 and I talked about games. This was right about the time it started exploding. I had some kids who bought, 4 or 5 shares of GameStop that made $1,600 and they were freaking out. I’m sure your kids probably play Roblox. I have an eleven-year-old as well and I have him buying and selling some shares from Roblox and that’s the money that he perpetually uses to buy his game stuff.

I’m trying to teach my boys a lesson about what’s going on right now, the free money that’s coming at the door and they overheard a conversation. I have a tenant in one of my commercial buildings and they’re having to close their business because they can’t get people to work. They have a tattoo studio and people don’t want to get off unemployment. My younger son was like, “What do you mean they’re getting checks from the government? Because he’s like, ‘How do I get a check from the government?’” I started explaining it to him. I’m like, “They’re getting money for doing nothing essentially.” I put it very simply. He goes, “Dad, we get money for doing nothing.”

They both started Roth IRAs. They have jobs, work for our business, have other stuff that they do. They contribute every month and they look at their account statement. I’m telling this story because this is passive. They know that their money is making money for them. This may be a good way for me to teach them about the active way of investing in the stock market. Having said that, what are your thoughts on passive versus active investing? You can be successful at both but there are different strategies. What’s your opinion on that?

You should have both. The longer-term investing is going to outperform short-term. That’s a guarantee in the sense of the short-term for me personally on cashflow creation. It’s like flipping houses and you’ve million house flips. Those are short-term. It’s cashflow. Your goal is to make some money so you can use that money to buy another asset. That’s short-term and active trading. Active trading is very similar to playing a sport. It keeps you healthy, your brain and body active and understanding what’s going on. Passive investing would be essentially owning the field, part of the stadium or jerseys that you’re playing on. Being both aspects of the game, there’s nothing wrong with it.

People love to play. Who doesn’t want to be active? Who doesn’t want to enjoy life and being in a competitive format because it’s fun and exciting? You will make more money longer-term doing the investing but why not make money both ways? The stretch that allowed people or the mindset shift is to have as many streams of income as you can. You know this. You preach it all the time. There’s nothing wrong even if it’s an extra $100 a month. What that does is it tells your brain, “I got this over there.” It lets you stress out less when you do have those crunch months because every investor has it that are like, “I don’t know how I may raise this $1 million. This is going to stress me out right now.” There’s a window or a day where you stress about it and your brain begins to appreciate what you have. What you appreciate appreciates. The beautiful paradigm shift is happening of, “I got other things that are coming in. I’m good.”

Money On Every Trade: The longer-term investing is going to outperform the short-term.

I want to use this as a bit of a transition. We talked about how you teach people on their mindset and changing their mindset. This isn’t about trading stocks and education there. I was going through some of your blog posts on there, I probably went about in an hour rabbit hole which isn’t typical for me but it was on the hard physical challenge. I started looking at the David Goggins’ 4x4x48 challenge. I ended up on a Joe Rogan interview with Jesse Itzler. Itzler hires Goggins to live with him for a month. Rogan’s like, “You asked this guy to live with you? Where’d you come up with that?” Jesse Itzler was like, “He was successful. I was in a rut and I wanted this guy to pull me out of this rut.”

He’s telling stories about Goggins getting them up at 3:00 AM to go for runs and punching a hole in the ice while there are winter storm warnings outside, tell him to jump in the ice. He couldn’t walk back home because he was freezing to the ice, so Goggins put shoes on the guy’s hands. It was awesome. If you haven’t seen it, you should read that Joe Rogan interview with Jesse Itzler. Jerremy, talk a little bit more about your personal mindset, how physical plays into the mental and what you do for your clients with respect to that to set them up for changing how the limits they may already be experiencing can change for the future?

I love that you brought up that story because those two are some of my favorite people in the world. Goggins lives in Nashville. Those are people that you want to be around. The mindset shift that changes people’s life is understanding that you always have to be uncomfortable in order to grow. Growth comes from being uncomfortable. Uncomfortable in what? The uncomfortable could be in your relationship. Maybe someone is uncomfortable hugging their wife in public for twenty minutes. It can be the most random thing or someone’s uncomfortable for asking for a lot of money for a client, doubling their prices, being paid an hour longer or investing an extra zero on a particular position.

Uncomfort leads to growth. All we have to find are those micro magical mental moments that allow us to become uncomfortable so that we can make that tweak even if the uncomfort or discomfort comes from a definition change. Quick story, I have a client, his name was Chris Stanley, he lives in South Carolina and he has a few businesses. We work once a week for a year. He said, “One of my main goals, I’m going to end this year as a millionaire. That’s what I want to do.” Three weeks into it, we realized he was already a millionaire. He had just a different definition of what a millionaire is. He wants to make $1 million in trading. Cool but an entirely different goal. Once he realized he was already in his dream, he already received what he was praying for. His whole world opened up.

The reason I tell you that story is because there are times that discomfort is the definitions that we have, changes that we can make, tweaks that we can make. So many people want to become millionaires but they realize, “I’m already a multimillionaire.” What comes after that? There are other terms, other definitions. You can have a decamillionaire, centillionaire, billionaire. There all kinds of fun terms that you can start using. Those definitions require belief systems and instructions. If you want to change your life, change one belief that you have about anything once a week and your life will be so radically, a year from now.

Goggins says, “Do something uncomfortable every day.” Every year I sign up for some event. Sometimes it’s not a physical event but something that stretches me. It’s been a career shift in the past, hiking Mount Rainier, mountain bike trips, rafting the Grand Canyon, all these things push my comfort level to the boundary or beyond where it was before and I’ve learned from each one of those. I love that philosophy. What happens is it spills over into other areas of your life. You see this in everything and in all these physical endeavors. It seems to me that any of these individuals that we’ve been talking about, get that, especially these high performers. In addition to the stock market, you mentioned real estate. What else do you invest in besides the stock market?

Cryptocurrency is a very popular term. Although, I have been investing since about 2015. I do love and am very intrigued by the Crypto market. I still blend that in with stocks because they’re liquid assets. That’s my specialty. Things that can be moved around extremely fast. Cryptocurrencies, I do trade on it and I call it futures. I’ve traded commodities before, options, stocks but one of the things I love helping my clients with and myself as well is time. Our beliefs and thoughts about time because that’s your asset. What’s intriguing is, for Benjamin Franklin, time is money but that’s such an intriguing concept. Time is money which means you can buy it, exchange it, transfer it or move things around.

I love studying time and understanding how it can impact individuals and how we can buy or get more time. It sounds weird but it can. It’s possible and achievable in the sense that like, “You can buy more time. You can free up your time that you have doing this that you don’t want to do or you hire that out and now you get that hour back. You never have to use it again.” That’s more time in your book. People can work one hour a month, full of thousand dollars for that one hour and not have to work ever again that entire month if they want to structure their life that way. It’s possible although it sounds doable. We can all get any amount of time that we want or money that we want.

That doesn’t answer your question. I invest in cryptocurrencies, businesses, real estate, books. I want to do wine and art one day. That’d be cool. I do invest in physical coins. It’s interesting from a collector’s standpoint. I have some gold coins, Persian, Roman, Greece, bicentennial, pre-revolutionary war, post-revolutionary war currencies. That’s a small investment, nothing crazy. Business is a great investment. They’re very easy models to replicate. I love investing in businesses especially people that I know. I’ve helped a few people grow businesses as well from nothing to million dollars, multimillion businesses through ideas and websites.

That’s one of the books I recommend. Book is Automatic Wealth by Michael Masterson. He talks about real estate. It’s a very easy read. If you haven’t read it yet and you’re reading, pick it up. He talks about how he invests in businesses, in stocks, real estate, all the things that we’ve been talking about and it’s true. I have a coaching client. We worked very closely together and he works with a ton of business owners. He’s like, “What should I invest in?” I’m like, “What are you invest in now?” He’s like, “I have some money in stocks. I invest in some of these businesses.” I said, “That’s awesome.”

That’s not for everybody. You got to understand what you’re doing but if you’re looking for investments and you have people that you know in a business or in your area, it’s a great spot to be. I want to touch on the time issue. You talked about what do you invest in. That is our biggest payoff of investment because you linked it together. If you can create more time and create more value within that time, that’s an exponential increase if you link those two concepts together. It’s the first thing I teach my coaching clients as well. It’s, “What do you make per hour?”

Most of them don’t realize it because they say, “I work 40 hours a week. I make $200,000 a year. Was that a $100 an hour?” I was like, “Are you doing a $100 an hour job every minute of every day?” They’re like, “No. I’m probably only productive 20% of the time.” It’s like, “You’re making five times. It’s $500 an hour.” “I’m worth $500 an hour?” It’s like, “You probably are.” Do more of that $500 an hour task. That’s a great concept. Figure out what is your time is worth, how to do more of that, hire out the rest if you can and you can create tremendous amounts of value.

Money On Every Trade: If you want to change your life, change one belief that you have about anything once a week, and your life will be so radically different a year from now.

The scary part is doing it. They’re taking that jump because our brain says, “I have less money.” It’s like, “No. Time is money.” You don’t have less anything, the same equivalent because you bought time. If time is money, then that’s what you want. You want money or time. You’re both. Either one is equivalent.

You make a great point. It’s hard. You’re like, “If I hire this person to mow my lawn at $20 an hour, I have to pay them $20 an hour or $40 or $80. I’m out $80.” Be productive. If you’re making $500 an hour for four hours, that’s $2,000 of the value you’ve created and you pay somebody $80 for that. It’s a good payoff. We’ve covered a lot of different stuff and I’m going to have you back on because we can continue this conversation in a lot of different ways. You’re a little bit younger than me. If you can go back in time to your 25-year-old self and all this stuff that we’ve covered, if you could say, “Hey, 25-year-old Jerremy.” What advice would you give him?

What I would sum up extremely well to my 25-year-old self is, “Know how to value your time and have standards that you need.” When I was 25, I didn’t know what time value was and I also didn’t truly understand how to have standards. I would hear the term a lot, “Raise your standards.” I didn’t know what that meant. Crazy example for everyone reading, let’s say you have a service industry. You charge $1,000 for whatever service. They pay me $1,000 and I’m done. You do your service and that’s great. That’s a standard. What if you went above and beyond? What if you created like you? When I’m on this show, you sent me a book with a hand letter, that’s a standard.

How many people will do that? Very few. As we start to slowly grow, our standards will start to change. That was for me. That would be so massive. Have a higher standard for yourself and live to it. When I was 25, I’d rather eat a $2 cheeseburger other than a $20 meal. It was amazing, delicious and beautiful because there are so many crazy distinctions there. Because of a $20 meal, now I’m sitting next to someone who’s worth more. I’m talking to a waiter who’s better, was more articulate. It’s also better for my body, I’ll feel better, perform better and be able to do things I might not do after having this $2 burger. Even though I would have an $18 difference between the two, that’s just money. I’d rather have the time and the experience in that standard of being around the quality of people who might eat that more expensive meal than that $2 cheeseburger. That’s what the standard is. It’s totally different.

Like you were saying with your coaching client, “When you change your mindset and realize that you’re capable of more,” these are concepts that truly rich use. They understand what it is to have time, have control of their time and do that and have that performance. If you’re reading, that’s probably the most important thing that we’ve talked about.
