Mhm. I was in college. I was broke as [ __ ] And I remember I was with my friend and we would manifest together all the time. And I really needed money. Like I was so broke. I was, you know, I had to pay off my my tuition and I needed money to like Uber and go to the bars. And I remember she was like, "I saw this video on TikTok and it was like you can manifest if you say with good to all and harm to [0:32] none, $5,000 is on its way to me." Stupid as [ __ ] but I was so desperate. I was so desperate. I was like, "The [ __ ] do I have to lose?" And I said it. I was like, "With good to all and harm to none, $5,000 is on its way to me." And I really in that moment was like, "I'm just going to test to see if this works. Like let's see if this [0:50] woo-woo [ __ ] is real." The next day I wake up to an email. Um it was like the COVID um some like It wasn't even like a stimulus check. It was um they were giving college students like random checks of $5,000. The next day I woke up to that. And only some kids got it. Um and it was like a super delayed one, too. I like thought I wasn't going to get it. Then like I randomly woke up and I got it. And I was like, "There's just no [ __ ] way." I [1:18] was like, "This has got to be a joke." Like I was like, "It's a little too coincidental, but I was like, all right. Let's And then I was like, "Well, if I can manifest 5,000, what else can I manifest?" And why do you consider Why do you consider that manifestation? Or even what to you what is manifestation and what's not [1:40] manifestation? Mhm. You know what's interesting? I feel like manifestation You're right. It's kind of like what is manifestation, right? Because part of it is like there's the manifestations you work for and that you put in the effort towards and then there's a manifestations like the one I just said where it's like I just spoke some words out loud and it showed up at my front doorstep. And I think manifestation is the unfolding of events the minute you decide something is yours. It's like the ability to turn thoughts into reality and intention into reality. Um but I think like the true like true manifestation is like when things just [2:22] like naturally happen without you lifting a finger. And at this point you are fully on board with it. That's like that's Now. That exists. Yeah. now 100% I believe it. Yeah. What would you say to people who were kind of where you were at first? Yeah. don't believe it at all. Mhm. And maybe even have tried what you did with the I'm going to say these words [2:48] and then it didn't work. Mhm. So I think what I would say is like we all know our thoughts create our reality. Like that is just a fact, right? The reticular activating system in the brain is going to constantly it's like the minute I got bangs I was like walking down the street I'm like oh this [3:07] girl has bangs and that girl has bangs. The minute I wanted a white Tesla I was like oh my god I see white Teslas everywhere. And what you focus on will expand and the beauty of manifestation is it's all psychological and it's also spiritual. Even if we remove the spiritual element when you decide something is yours you're going to start to see opportunities you have never seen like in plain sight they've been sitting there and you just never took the opportunity. You're going to take more risk, right? You're going to like reach out to someone you wouldn't have reached [3:38] out to. And so I would say just try it. Like be delusional for a week. Be positive for a week and watch what happens. It actually surprised me because I thought you would just say all of that without what you said before, which was the the next level or the third level of it [4:01] naturally comes to you. Mhm. I would have thought you would say it just stops there. All it is is you're saying these things, which actually bring things to you. It forces you to see it. It forces you to plan it. But nothing it's nothing more than that. Mhm. And that's plenty. But it sounds like there are other things there. What have you personally manifested in your life [4:20] to this point? So many things. So many I mean my whole life, my dream life. I mean where do I begin? I would say the first crazy manifestation I had was the first video I posted on Tik Tok went viral. That was one of those like I didn't do anything, right? Like it's like how many people post on Tik Tok and their first [4:38] videos flop. What was the video? Um it was like a tarot reading. Um just like cards. I was like the one you see is the one you're meant to hear. And I posted three of them and one of them got like a million views. Um so it was like an immediate thing, right? Um and I wasn't even planning on it, but I was just like in the back of my head I was like, "Hmm, we'll see what happens, you know? I think I think this could go [5:01] viral." Um obviously like my following on social media it was very much a manifestation. Um my business, becoming a millionaire by the age of 23, seven-figure multiple seven-figure businesses. Like honestly a a lot of my manifestation has been business success. But then in love, too, like I have manifested like people into my life. Like that that's probably one of the craziest ones is like when you like you're like "I'm going to manifest this person into my life." Like even platonically. And then one day, a year later, you're like in a random place and you're like, "Oh, there you are, you know?" Um I've manifested my dream apartment. I've [5:41] manifested insane opportunities. Insane opportunities. um my friends manifested myself out of depression, like a lot of things. What were you telling yourself before any of the manifestation that you think was almost the opposite of it that was holding all of this back from you? If you weren't naturally on that path. Dude, if I was not If I didn't make the mindset You know a cool thing to think about is where would I be if I didn't [6:09] start manifesting? If I didn't start manifesting I would probably be still thousands of dollars in debt. I don't know where I would have lived. I actually don't even want to think about what my life would be. you doing before then? I was in college studying to be a teacher. What kind of teacher? Uh history teacher. Um but I wanted to be Secretary of Education. So this was like my life path. I really wanted to like change the [6:33] world and reform the education system. Um but I would have just suffered. Honestly, I'm like I don't even I really don't think I would have liked life at all. Um and that's really like painful to think I don't even want to think about what that would have been. Um What was holding me back was I grew up like broke as [ __ ] like poor. My family immigrated here. We grew up in Brooklyn, New York as you can imagine with like five four siblings, like five kids. Um you know, and my parents like, you know, had just graduate or like they were taking on student loan debt. So they had [7:14] student loan debt. You know, it was a whole thing. Um and what was holding me back was like I feel like I grew up believing I had to suffer for money. I I truly was like that's all I see is like you have to suffer to make just ends meet, right? And I believed like money was this difficult thing, like it was like my enemy constantly in life. I [7:34] I looked at money I was like I hate you. Like you've ruined my life. I hate money. I hate the concept of money. And I believed rich people were evil. I hate like I felt so envious. I was like I just felt this constant like um like I was a victim. Like really it just came down to like I felt like a victim being controlled by this concept of [7:56] money. Um and it wasn't until I became like the victor and I was like, "No, money. I control money, not the other way around. And I don't have to work hard for money. It just comes to me." When you delusionally start to believe that and you give it a chance to prove itself in your reality, it's like everything [8:13] shifts. What's so interesting to me is a lot of people, and probably even me, are afraid to be delusional in the positive way. Mhm. Why? Well, I think it's wanting to be delusional in any way is just like, "Why don't I just follow logic and reality?" But we actively do it the other way, like what you were doing before with all these things that just aren't [8:38] true about money. Yeah. And we're delusional already. So, why not at least be delusional in the right direction? Oh, we are delusional. We are hypnotizing ourselves constantly. This is something no one thinks about. We are constantly being hypnotized and hypnotizing ourselves. Constantly. Like you, the way you grew up programmed you to be who you are. And [9:00] you have to be extremely aware of that. Like just like, "Who am I being programmed to be? Who are my friends programming me to be? What is What are the YouTube videos I'm watching, the podcasts I'm listening to? What is all of this programming me to believe?" You don't even realize it. It's like um you'll be on TikTok and you'll watch like the alpha male content or you'll watch like a vi- like for the girlies, like there's like Sheera7 and it's like [9:24] all men are evil. Sh- This girl Sheera7. She's like She's like kind of like the the Andrew Tate for the girls, but like she's actually good. But anyways, but she'll say things like or like that whole cult of girls, which like I'm kind of a part of. But they'll be like men are evil. Like, you know, men are going to use you for your body, so like go, you know, use them for money. And it's like it's just like bullying. What are we hypnotizing ourselves to believe in what? And then notice how your reality reflects that, right? And so it's like if you're already being hypnotized, [9:56] you should be hypnotizing yourself to become successful, to manifest love, to, you know, just be in control of what your mind sees is perceiving. So you grew up with a Slavic culture, it sounds like. Why what are the sort of the tenants or like how would you describe Slavic culture? I don't know if you've ever met like a Slavic girl, but they're like women who [10:18] are heavily in their masculine energy. Like they're feminine, like they might look feminine. I I feel like I picked up on that a lot, too. But like there's this energy of like anything could go wrong at any second. And you're always like I will say Slavic culture can be very pessimistic. Like you even hear the language and you're like it sounds like every Like you when you say I love you, [10:39] it sounds like we're arguing, you know? Like it's like a very um And you know why? Because like listen, like my family grew up in the Soviet Union. Um starvation like my family you know, like it's just been like generations and generations of struggle. And um this constant battle, this constant fight, right? For even just like peace. And I think Slavic culture it's um it it definitely like there's this emphasis on like just like always preparing for the worst [11:16] case scenario. And when you're expecting the worst case scenario, you start to attract it. Growing up, what did that look like in your life? Mm. Um And more actions than beliefs. Just like how was it actually? You You well, I mean, I think there was just this constant like energy of money doesn't grow on trees and like um like scarcity mindset. Like that it was just like a big scarcity and I'm curious maybe you relate. It's like everything was constantly scarce. I was always like I'm um even in food. Like even in the way I would like go to a birthday party and I was like I have to eat everything [11:54] on my plate because I don't know the next time I'm going to have cake and pizza and like you know and like that starts to seep into your life and I'm like wow, well, it's fascinating how years later I was like 20 lb heavier and I had to like lose that weight. Why? I wonder because maybe in college when I finally had an abundance of food in the dining hall, I started to stuff my [ __ ] face because I grew up believing everything was in scarcity. I started to almost uh I had this like reaction, right? I had this um it's subconscious. So like you have to [12:26] understand like what is your subconscious mind programmed to believe because that's going to uh dictate your actions, the way you eat, the way you love, self-sabotage. Like we are we are constantly self-sabotaging in love because we're assuming someone's going to hurt us. So our subconscious is like what can I do to not get hurt? Did you know [12:50] that these thoughts were in your head? Let's say in the dining hall. Mhm. Did you Were you aware of it? No. And that's the scariest part is you're a slave to your subconscious mind. And until you recognize you're extremely aware of what it's doing to you. The fastest way to find out is to [13:10] look at what's going wrong in your life. Right? I was like well, I'm gaining weight. Okay, so it always starts in the mind. And so you can work that way or the better way is like before you get fat. Like let's let's just be aware of where am I acting out of scarcity? Where am I And I think the root cause of all problems, money, love, um you know, [13:33] health is always scarcity. And what kind of trigger to even like wanting something more than all that? Was there any person that you met that you said, "I want that. I want to be like that person." So, I went to college um like I went to a college where there were a lot of rich kids. Um I went to school in Boston. So, like in general, like I was, you know, partying with MIT [13:56] kids, Harvard kids. And I was just like "These kids are so wealthy. Like they come from such money." I'd walk around campus and everyone's wearing a Canada Goose jacket and I'm like "I'm wearing the jacket I thrifted 3 years ago." You know what I mean? And it's like I have holes in it. So, like I was just like, "Wow, I've walked down campus for 5 minutes and I have seen maybe $50,000 worth of Canada Goose [14:20] jackets on this walk. That is insane." You start to see abundance. And there's two ways you can look at that. You can look at that and be envious and jealous and feel like a victim, which I did. Or you can look at that and be like, "This is a sign of what I could become." And for me I think I felt like a victim until one day I was like "This is so I just hate this feeling and I just want [14:50] to change my life." Why do you believe it was possible, though? Because you're seeing all those people and they clearly grew up like this in college. They didn't do anything. do anything. Why would you not just conclude that obviously they were born with the silver spoon. I wasn't. And now that's what it is. Well, I accepted that I was born a [15:09] certain way. You know, and I didn't deny like their luck. But I was like, "Well, I am in this very critical time in my life where I actually can change a lot." Like I was like, "Okay, I am like in college to like get a job. Like I can like do things." I was um tutoring at the time. Um I had a lot of like students and I was like, "Well, if I could like like it's just like I think being an entrepreneur makes you so aware of the abundance in the world and I think that's why like anyone who's into manifesting, you have to become an [15:41] entrepreneur at some point because it just shows you how infinite the concept of wealth is and success and growth." And so like even something as simple as like I was tutoring students at the time and I was like, "Well, I have this student who I'm tutoring for, you know, $20 an hour. I have this student, that student." I'm like, "Well, if I just like get more students, then I'll get more money. If I can make $20, I can make 100. If I can make 100, I can make 1,000. If I can make 1,000, I can make 10,000, you know?" And I was like, "Um [16:13] I could charge more. I could get better. I could offer, you know, this or that." It just like made me realize. I was like, "Yes, I can't change the fact that I'm like in debt, that this [ __ ] sucks, that like I am broke right now. But I was like, "Okay, but [clears throat] I have this way out." And it really [16:31] wasn't until Tik Tok. And as soon as I started Tik Tok, that was that was ultimate like mindset expansion for me. And possibility. When you saw the Canada the Canada Goose jackets, a very common reaction, I think in addition to what you were saying, is that is wasteful. It's wasteful. Why are you going to spend $1,200 on a coat? [16:53] $10,000 on a coat? I don't want that. Mhm. In addition to be In addition to like disgusting or being jealous of it. Why What's the point of being super rich? So, I think it's less about being financially rich and it's more about being um having an abundance mindset. So, for me it wasn't that I wanted a [17:21] Canada Goose jacket. I actually didn't. I haven't owned one ever in my life. Um, for me it was the concept of I want to be able to look at something I want in life and know I have the power to attract it into my reality. Whether it be by buying it, whether it be by having a brand new like whatever. I just wanted to know that nothing could stop me, come in the way of me getting what I desire. And what that what you desire is going to be different than what Stacy desires or Susan or whatever, right? But for me it was like I don't ever want to look at a Canada [17:57] Goose jacket in the Mind you, it's Boston. It's freezing [ __ ] cold. I have only now discovered at the age of 25 that the reason I was freezing my ass off and I hated the cold was because I just never discovered a wool coat. Like I just didn't even know that was a thing, right? So like But my point is I just never wanted to look at someone's life and feel like a victim, feel like I would [18:20] never have the ability to call that in. So it's more about how do I have an abundance, uh, have the ability to attain things. That to me is wealth. Do you know what I mean? To me it's not about the number in your bank account. To me it's can you call what you want [18:38] into your reality? And like agency over your life. Yes, agency. Like agency is wealth. Yes, 100%. The ability to make your reality exactly what you desire. Yeah. And at this point would you say that it's worked for you? Because obviously you got the things you manifested. Yeah. But I don't think I've ever met someone with this mindset of like I want exactly [19:00] what I want and I'm going to go get it. Yeah. Who when I'm talking to them Yeah. in a real life is not like and now I want this and now I don't have that so it didn't actually work. Yeah. I would say I am actually so content with my life. Like I am the first of all the happiest [19:17] I've ever been. I wake up every day. To me wealth is gratitude too, right? Like I wake up with such extreme gratitude for my life. First of all, I'm just like I feel so blessed in the last however many years I've called in I mean I just look at where I was even 6 months ago. [19:34] Let alone 3 years ago. It is so crazy how fast you can change your life, how fast how fast you can literally change everything. Like I think people another limiting belief people have is time. Time isn't real. You could marry rich and be rich tomorrow. Like you know, you could be a billionaire tomorrow if you just marry a billionaire. Like there is so and I'm not saying you should do that, but I'm saying we need to expand what we believe [19:59] is possible. You will like if you want it, the universe will give you a way to get it. That's the first concept you need to understand. Um So yeah, I think there isn't um I never look at my life and think I'm missing something anymore. I look at my life grateful for what I have and excited for what I'm calling in. It's not coming from a place of lack, it's coming from a place of [20:23] excitement and that's the difference. Whereas back then it was like I don't have this, I want this. It's like now it's like I already have this. Great, I'm so happy. How much bigger can I go? And also you believe that it's going to work out, which I think for most people, especially entrepreneurs, it's like I want this huge thing and I don't know if [20:41] it's going to work out. Right. Which is more anxiety inducing than like And do you happiness inducing. Yes, and do you know why believing something is going to work out is so powerful? Because if I told you like I I always give this example, but it's like if I told you right now that the next lottery ticket you would get is a winning lottery ticket, the first thing you're doing right now is you're going to go get a lottery ticket. You haven't gotten a lottery ticket in the last 23 years of your life, but the reason why is simply because I gave you the belief that it would work out. Now [21:15] you've taken the action. Right? It's a risk. You still might not. I don't know. I might be lying to you, but you The fact that I told you that, the fact that you believe that gave you enough energy mentally to go and take the actions necessary to even have a chance. And so the minute you start to believe something is possible, now your brain gives you or your your behavior shifts. You start acting like a [21:39] winner. You start moving like a winner. And the only person who wins is the person who just moves like a winner every single day regardless of if it's a a good day, a bad day. Sales are up, sales are down. You have to move like you're winning every day. The minute sales start going down and you start moving out of a state of desperation, [21:55] you [ __ ] yourself over. Yeah. One thing I want to I want to get into all the Tik Tok growth and the business growth. Mhm. But first you said, "Time isn't real." Yeah. And this is one thing that I I've seen manifestation all the time. Mhm. And it's like it if it all works and it works so well, why can't we just leave it at the things that make sense? Why does it always have to get taken to the extreme of reality does not exist. Why can't we say reality does exist and you can make more out of your time and these limiting beliefs are [22:31] wrong. But it always gets turned into these like the short bits Mhm. that sound really good, but ends up just not being true. Like what? Like what? even that, do you believe time is not real? I [snorts] do. In the real sense of what those words mean. Like kind of, cuz what is time? I don't know enough to actually give a good definition, but whatever keeps moving us along as [22:58] everything keeps moving, spinning. S- On a physics level, time is a very interesting concept because you can um I'll give you this example. When you look up at the stars at the sky in the sky, are they there? At night? Sounds like probably not. Well, you're looking at them. You see them. They look real. They look like they're there. But, we're actually looking at something that's light-years away. It's not actually there. If you were to go there at this exact moment in [23:29] time, it's not there. The concept of time is very um flexible. It's not that it's not real, it's that um time is more so I don't know how to explain it, but it's like what's it's the the question to ask is not is time real. It's like is believing in the concept of time even benefiting you and like how does the [23:50] concept of time play into your reality? What's more important than time is perception because you see the stars in the sky, but they're not actually there. So, like you know what I mean? Sorry, I lost my train it's referring to the construct, not Right. It's not saying time does not exist. It's saying the way you perceive time Exactly. Exactly. And that's that's what it is is like um our concept of time is heavily molded by [24:18] what we've been hypnotized to believe. That's a cool example. It is a cool example. That's why I named my app Stella cuz it's um star in Latin. And it's like the whole concept is like you like something doesn't actually have to even be here for it to be real yet. Um and if you believe in something, it it is real. Like do you get what I'm [24:35] saying? It's like what is reality? is like even when a plane flies over. Yeah. a couple thousand feet. Yeah. You you hear it and then you look up and it's not there anymore. Right. it's the opposite, but like Time is it being there and it's it's not there anymore. Exactly. When did you start What was the order? TikTok and then is all the business connected through [24:59] TikTok? Um so one start before the other? I started posting on TikTok. Again, I had no intention of like becoming a business owner. I had no Like I just like did this as a I started almost like as a joke. I don't even I don't even remember why I started, but I was like I [25:15] got super into tarot. And so I started posting like tarot card stuff. And went viral with that and then immediately people were like I'll pay you anything. Give me a tarot reading. And I was like Dude, I don't know the first thing about business, but I'm going to have to figure out. And so I started to like taking payment on cash app. I was like I don't know. I was doing some bootleg operation. And I was selling out in seconds. Like I was like oh my god, I'm going to have to I would have like I was like I I don't even have the time to do [25:45] the amount of readings I'm selling um out. And I was like I'm going to have to raise my prices. Eventually I was like charging a lot of money for these readings just cuz I was like I can't. I mean I don't have the time and for a sec? What What is a tarot reading [25:56] and how does it work? Um it's you know, have you seen tarot cards like psychics? They I've only seen the cards on your channel. And I just see like these different symbols. Yeah. That's about it. So there's 78 cards. Um each card represents like a different message and like they follow kind of like the It's actually very cabalistic. Um but it's um um it's a whole art form. It's kind of like You have like for example, you have like the um the lovers card and that represents love and decisions and like whatever. So if you get the lovers card, it might be like oh like you're you have [26:33] love in your future like you're focused on love or whatever. Um you have like the emperor card and the emperor card focuses on like leadership and and power and you know, so um it just represents different themes of life and how you use the cards. It's like you could use it as like a fortune telling thing or you could use it as like a you know, more like to like suss out like a [26:55] How does this person feel about me? Let's see, you know. So, these people are coming to you to get the reading with either their life or some specific scenario. Yeah. And they're saying, "I'm going to come to you. You're going to read it and tell me some idea of what I can do next." [27:09] Yeah. happening. So, I was getting I was booking out these tarot readings and I was like at that point I was like, "Okay, I guess I have to like start a business." Like I didn't I didn't even set up an LLC at that point, but then um I started getting brand deals. That was when like the concept of manifestation really started and then like how time is a construct, how money and abundance is a construct. That's when it really started to hit for me because I I will never forget um I was working with some pretty cool brands at the time. A lot were like um [27:43] uh like for like movies, like Warner Media and like a bunch of like whatever. And they have like big budgets. And I'll never forget I was like um uh I was friends with this girl who like was an influencer, too, and she was doing brand deals and I was like, "How much do you think I should charge?" And she's like, "Why don't you ask for like a [ __ ] like why don't you throw out a crazy number and see what they say?" And I was like, "Let's do $30,000 for this brand deal." And they were like, "Yeah, sounds good." And I was like, [28:13] "Oh, that's crazy." What were you at at the time with your a less than a million or just maybe over a million. I don't remember. Like somewhere in the ballpark of a million followers. Um And it was for one It was like maybe like an Instagram post, a TikTok post, and like uh some I don't know. It was like Listen, whatever it was, it took me maybe less than a like 2 hours to do. And I was like, "Oh, I just made I just paid off my entire year of tuition [28:42] in an hour." I've probably work that was easy for you. That was a joke. Like it was like I was like, "Okay, this is like and do you understand like I'm coming from poverty. I'm coming from I'm thousands of dollars in debt. I'm coming from the mindset of like I'm going to be a teacher and make that amount in 12 [28:57] months. Not an hour." That was when everything shifted for me and I was like, "You just have to believe like you have to have the conviction long enough for the universe to open that door for you." The biggest problem people have is they can't even conceptualize how. Why I love manifestation is the whole point of manifestation is decide what [29:21] you want and say [ __ ] the how. Your biggest op is the fact that you're looking for how it's supposed to come in. Like this is the biggest thing holding people back is they're like, "Your how is extremely limited by what you've been hypnotized to believe by your limiting beliefs, by your upbringing." When you remove the concept of how this is supposed to come in, [29:41] suddenly the shortcut shows up. And you wouldn't have seen it. You would not have seen it. This is why I don't like thinking in terms of reality. This is why I don't think logically because when I think logically, I think to make $30,000, what would what would I have thought in that moment? I have to do [29:58] 50,000 [ __ ] tarot readings. And I was like, "No, I'm going to let the universe show me the easier way to pay off my my pay off my, you know, tuition." And then boom. It's so crazy. Even And it's kind of the same thing like with with the logic. Mhm. We we know that if we revert to our own logic, we're going back into all the voices that were there before and what everyone [30:26] else is saying. Mhm. Where if you grow up or you're surrounded by like those Harvard students for 30 years and then you revert to your own logic, maybe it'll get you to the right place. Exactly. But also at the same time these things are happening all the time. So the it's not just that we can't see it. The assumption that you can't make $30,000 in 2 hours is just wrong. Like it's not true. People [30:57] are doing it all the time. This Exactly. And I think like this is the thing is like everything is possible. Like like that's what it comes down to is every reality is possible and even if it isn't possible you can make it possible. Dude, planes didn't exist. Okay, so someone was like, I'm going to make a plane. First principles thinking, [31:20] right? Um Amazon didn't exist. Like all of this Like everything didn't exist until someone was delusional enough to be like, let's make something fly in the sky. The [ __ ] Like you know what I'm saying and like you have to be the person to be delusional enough to come up with something like that. Um there's that aspect and then there's also like the aspect of like I don't know why we're trying to think logically when like we were all born Like the concept of our life existing Like how the [ __ ] are humans made? You know what I'm saying? Like is that logical to you? Like that doesn't that [31:55] kind of defies everything I feel like I know about logic. You mean I just like have sex and then I I have a kid? Like what the [ __ ] Like you know what I'm saying? Like it doesn't make sense and I'm like we're like, oh it's crazy to make $30,000 and I'm Dude, you made a human life, a soul that didn't exist on [32:12] this planet. Doing what? Like I just I'm like people are way too realistic. You know. Crazy. have all these tarot readings coming in. Mhm. And now the brand deals. Yeah, and then the And that's around the same time? Around the same time I started doing the brand deals. Um I had to quit like I was working like three jobs at the time. I was like doing I was student teaching, I was um doing like whatever research at my college, I was tutoring, I had to like that was hard. I I had to like let go of [32:44] my students. But I was like I see a big and so that was a risk, right? I think sometimes we're faced with that in life. It's like are you willing to give up the safer option in pursuit of the riskier option? Um and so I had to do that cuz I just like physically didn't have the time. Can we also actually just pause there for a second because a lot of manifestation at face value it seems like all you do is you're going to say these things, say it into the mirror, say it to yourself, and then it just happens. But as you're doing these things, you're working three [33:14] side jobs. Yeah. Yeah. Well, but that's not what manifested me the money, right? You know what I mean? I'm saying more just for anyone who's saying like it doesn't work. Yeah. It doesn't mean you don't have to do anything. Clearly the right way to do it. Unless you're saying that was all wrong and it'll just come so the thing about manifestation is [33:37] you need to just follow your intuition. Like you're So the way I kind of look at it, I'll explain manifestation on like a on a like a formulaic level. You decide what you want, you decide it with full-blown conviction, you delusionally believe it will happen at all costs, it doesn't matter. It does not matter what your circumstances look like, it will happen, period. If you can hold that conviction, what's going to happen is now there is [34:00] infinite parallel universes, right? And what I mean by that is not in like dilu land way. I mean like literally, there is a version of you that's fat in the future and there's a version of you that's skinny. There's a version of you that's a billionaire if you take a certain amount of steps, right? And there's a version of you that ends up homeless. Every version of you exists in the quantum field for the future. When you manifest, you are [34:23] choosing a certain timeline. And what happens is when you choose it, a certain series of events is is to unfold. Your intuition, your soul, when you decide that timeline, shows you the way there. So, that's all that's happening is the minute you manifest, the minute you decide, that series of events is going to unfold. And when you manifest, you start to like subconsciously take the steps through your intuition that will get you there, the easiest way there, right? Unless you start to doubt, then you're going to end up where your doubt is if you're if you doubt that you can become a millionaire, then you will not [35:00] become a millionaire. So, um that's all it does is it creates um what we call the bridge of incidences. And so, like for me, I was like, I want to become a millionaire. So, for me to become a millionaire, I had to first go viral. So, I had this intuitive calling to post on Tik Tok. [35:16] You follow that? Boom. What does that feel like? An intuitive call? this um it's like this all-knowing, all-consuming feeling of I have to do this. Like you just know. You know? It's a calling that's so loud you can't ignore it. And um it feels like it's not even something you want to do as much something you feel like you have to. You know? It's like and you start to like want to. Like you're like, [35:40] I'm obsessed with this. This is so fun. Like I want to do this, right? It just feels right. It feels like the right decision, even if it logically doesn't make sense. And we've all had a a moment like that where we decided to do something that maybe logically didn't make sense, but our intuition, our gut, was like, I feel like this is the right [35:55] choice. I feel like this is going to work out. Me going to college was a dumb decision, to be honest. Taking out that much [ __ ] student loan debt to go away and like live in dorms and like take, you know, that was kind of dumb. My intuition though felt like it would work [36:10] out. What's the source of the intuition? I think God or some higher power, but I also think it's you. Like your conviction creates the intuition. Cuz you're kind of just acting, if you think your future self, too. It's kind of like intuition, I always say, is like your future self whispering to you. The version of you who's already a millionaire whispering to you. She's [36:32] telling you what to do. It's like the Interstellar Matthew McConaughey tapping on the Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. It's like you just So, that's all it is is like your intuition's always going to tell you to do the thing that you've decided you want, right? Um yeah. It's also like feminine deep-seated like feminine energy. It's It's It's like you know mother's intuition? It's like when moms just know something and it's like how the [ __ ] did she know that her kid was [37:02] sick and like, you know, whatever. It's also like ingrained biologically into you. Your intuition is there to protect you, too, right? Um so, that's why it's It's important sometimes to trust your gut on like if someone feels off or like whatever and it doesn't make sense. Um it's evolutionary, too. In a regular I don't know why I'm just [37:23] thinking about the card readings. Yeah. What happens? You sit down and what's the flow of that? So, someone asks a question and I don't believe the tarot defines everything about your life like your future. I don't think it defines your future. I think it tells you what your current energy is calling in. So, it'll like you can ask a question like, "How does this person feel about [37:45] me?" And if you get like the lovers and the blah, blah, blah, it's like, "Oh, this person's really into you, you know?" Versus if you got some other cards, it's like, "I don't know if he likes you." Um it doesn't mean it's like your set in stone path. It's more It's same with astrology. I don't think astrology defines your future. I think it's just like um you know, the pool of energy you're [38:05] working with. And the idea is that when you're moving the cards around, that energy will pull in No, no, it's just it it it It's almost like um like an energy read. It just like kind of gets a sense of the energy going on. It doesn't change anything. But it's not caused by it. It's not caused by the fact that the [38:24] person is sitting there. It is. Like you if you're you're reading on that person, right? So, yeah. Did I saw something about you have a video on the Stan Store? Yes, I do. As like a top creator on the Stan Store? Did that happen before or after Stella? Uh way before. Yeah. So, I started with the tarot readings. That was the first thing I did. And then, I started posting more manifestation content. Um I do like all spiritual content, but at that time I'd started posting more about affirmations, manifestation methods, and I would get so many DMs from people being like, "How do I manifest this?" Or [39:03] like, um you know, they'd be like, this very niche specific questions about manifestation. Or they're like, "You know, I tried this method and I can't believe it. Like, I don't feel the conviction. Like, do you have advice?" And I was like, "Why don't I just like make a course?" Cuz I'm not going to be [39:18] able to explain this in 60 seconds. Right? So, I made my first course, which was called Manifest Magic Workshop. And yeah, and that course made me seven figures. Um so, yeah, it was really fun. I've made a lot of other courses since then as well. But it's yeah. I mean, I started to be a teacher, and might as well use that [39:37] skill, you know? That's so awesome. So awesome. 100% profit margin is pretty much. I just realized that I meant to ask more about TikTok. How do you grow it? How do How long did it take you? And what was the path like? Yeah, so it's interesting cuz TikTok Or Instagram, all of it. TikTok way back was like, oh my god, it was a quantum leap. Like, you'd post one video and get like 40,000 followers overnight. Like, it's crazy. Um so, it [40:03] was really fast to get to a million. Um even to 2 million, and ever since it's been kind of like slower just cuz it's also you have to think about it like the total addressable market. I've probably tapped into like a good majority of English-speaking women who like manifestation at this point. It's like [40:19] you know, so that's part of it, right? Which is What would you assume that is? Uh, what What number? Um [sighs] in the U I think I don't have an actually touched all of them, but that number damn, I don't know how many people live in the US. I've no idea. No idea. I haven't even Yeah, I've definitely not even touched a fraction [40:40] of them. 300 million? 330 million. 330 million live in the US? Since probably maybe like 50 million. Yeah. I'll get there. But yeah, my point is like Well, you've reached those people for sure. reached. Yeah, I've definitely like over time my content is probably I've I've generated over a billion views on Tik Tok, which is super cool. Um with Tik Tok Yo, honestly, the strategy has changed so much lately. It's so and I will say Instagram is where it's at now because it's just so much more high converting and so much more personal and you like own your audience a lot more on Instagram than you do on Tik Tok. So I [41:24] would tell everyone like prioritize Instagram reels right now above everything. Um but how to grow? And for you, how long did it take to get to 10,000 on Instagram? On Insta like very fast, extremely fast. Are we like days, weeks? be days. I I've I've grown certain accounts to like 10,000 in in a day in [41:47] like two days. Why do you think it grew so fast? Because I just know what goes viral. Um I just know I have this like um muscle memory around it and I just like it's intuition to me. Um what goes viral? I mean, you know this very well. All your your videos go viral. Um controversy, shock, novelty. You have to say something that stops people from scrolling and gives them a reason to stay till the end. Right? So if you could say some crazy [ __ ] [ __ ] I think the virality lives in the intersection of um saying the thing that everyone wants to [42:20] know or wants to believe or agrees with, but that no one's willing to say. If you can find what that thing is and say it, you will go viral, right? Um so there has to be shock factor, novelty, there has to or you have to evoke an extreme emotion out of people. So I think the main reason I've gone viral so many times is because I evoke extreme emotion. My tarot readings are like, "Oh my god, like [ __ ] she's giving me so much hope." Or like "I've never felt so [42:47] seen." Like, you know what I'm saying? That's one piece of it. With my manifestation videos, um you know, a lot of the times I'll be like, "Here's how to manifest a text in 20 seconds." You know, and then it's like, "Whoa, like I want to find out." And they have to listen to the end to figure out how to do it, so watch time super important. Make your videos shorter. That's a piece of advice I could give everyone is like, "You're [43:09] just yapping for too long." What What's too long usually? Like try to keep it The thing is some videos have to be longer, right? But like I would say every sentence you say has to be earned on Tik Tok. It's just like if it doesn't have to be there, take it out. Cut out all like dead air, cut out like like literally like you want people like everyone's ADHD right now as [ __ ] So like every [ __ ] word needs to be [43:36] earned. Every second needs to be earned. It has to have a a reason to be there. Um if every sentence isn't making people want to stay more, you're doing it wrong. If you could get into the head of someone who's watching it. Maybe it's also you. Mhm. What do they want? Cuz I know for me, if I sit down on Instagram, I'm not like right now I need to see [43:57] Right. a manifestation video. Right. So people don't come on Instagram or Tik Tok for that. Some do. Some probably are searching up like, "I am" you know, they're going through a breakup and they're like, I want to manifest my ex back. They're looking that up. I think people, you need to give people you need to create a problem. This is the This is the The key to business is make people aware they have a problem. People have problems. We all have problems. We just sometimes aren't aware there is a problem and that there exists a solution. So, for example, um I'll give you an example like, [44:33] you know, like some of the best um for example, um you know, like QVC ads. How do they sell on QVC on that TV You You know what QVC is? It's like you that channel that you would watch on um where they would like sell like a million things. You call the hotline to order. You know what I'm [44:50] talking about? Or TikTok Shop even, right? You're watching TikTok Shop and it's like, how are they going to sell you this like um what's what's a popping TikTok Shop products except mine? Um Nicotine patches. Sure, nicotine patches. gum. Nicotine gum. Yeah, that's a big one. Um Neural gum, whatever. No one is going on TikTok being like, I need Neural gum. You need to make them aware they have a You need to make them feel as though they they don't want [45:16] this, they need this. Um you need to give them a reason that they need it. So, you could say something like, you ever um you know, you ever go to start, you know, doing your task, your to-do list and then suddenly you're on TikTok for 15 minutes and then 15 minutes turns into an hour and then you're looking and you're like, holy [ __ ] I I looked at my to-do list and I got nothing [ __ ] done and then, you know, I I need to do this task and like I know I need to do it, but like and then I'm I'm doing unproductive [ __ ] [45:47] and like the whole, you know, whatever. You basically make people aware they have a problem. You need to say something where they're like, I relate to this. Yes, right? And then you're like, same. I started using this and now I'm [ __ ] locked in. And now this and now that social proof, right? And my friend Susie started using I mean she's dialed now. You know, like so you need to first make people aware they have a problem, right? So in my content I'll be like um you know here's how to manifest a text even if you're in no contact. They're like, oh [ __ ] I am no contact. Even if you [46:23] haven't talked to this person in years. Even if they don't know you exist. I've tried this method and it works every time. And they're like, wait. I'm no contact with this guy. I didn't even know I could manifest a text from him, right? There's a sensationalism to it. Um so yeah make them aware they have a problem and make them believe they can not just give them a solution. Make them the believe they they [46:48] will have that problem solved. If you had to take a group of if you're even dividing into niches, so you have like NASCAR interested people Yeah. or F1 and then you have manifestation interested. Mhm. What do you think would be different about those two groups? But like what they want in general. What they want [47:06] Not even when they're sitting down. On to go on Instagram or Even outside of Instagram, just what they want in life. Mhm. Or what their pain points are. This is a big thing is with business the best businesses um solve one of the core human pain points. It doesn't matter if you're a NASCAR driver, it doesn't matter if you're a manifestation girl, it doesn't matter if you live in uh Tennessee. Like we all have core human needs. We all want to get laid. We all want to find love. We all want to be healthy. We all um want to feel purpose [47:40] in life. We all want um financial abundance. And I would say and we all want to feel important in the world. And if you can solve any one of those or have convenience. Convenience is a big one that solves. If you can solve one of those core human pain points and desires, you will always have a successful [48:02] business. Your podcast studio, the reason it's successful is because people want to feel important. When you're on a podcast, you feel pretty important. Um people want to make more money. Boom, you solved two of those, right? Dating apps, they're successful because everyone wants to find their love of their life. People want to feel needed. And when you start to understand the psychology of like what gets people to move, that's when you win. Like there's there's pain points you could solve um that aren't as uh the best pain points to solve in business are the ones that like your biology is designed to make you move on [48:44] it, right? Like your your business is going to like 10x when you're your um creating or solving a problem that evolutionarily the human body is looking to solve. Or like, you know, so like you're working with human biology on your side. Um yeah. So, what is the right way to manifest? The right way to manifest is you [49:14] decide what you want. Um ask yourself what limiting beliefs you have around it that could be holding you back. Um you need to decide it is yours. You need to say [ __ ] the how. And you need to believe with full-blown conviction that it is 100% going to happen. And you need to do whatever it takes to believe that, right? Because if you're like, "Okay, me saying it every day is not making me believe it." So, then what can we do to make you believe it? Because an assumption, though false if persisted [49:44] into, will harden into fact. You want more time? An assumption, though false if persisted into, will harden into fact. Everything in your reality is simply um an assumption you once had manifested into reality. You're constantly manifesting the assumptions that you have about the world, about yourself, about the way things happen. And so you've to just be hyper aware of like what are my assumptions around everything? What am I assuming is going to happen here? Um and so I would say in order to manifest anything um like what can you do to yourself believe [50:22] this delusionally? Right? What are the common practices? So I mean there's a ton of methods that you could do. One of the most common ones is scripting um where you basically write like a a diary entry from your future self as if you're her today being like today I woke up in my dream apartment um you know, I'm looking out my floor-to-ceiling windows and you like embody that energy as if it's already [50:46] yours. Um my app obviously. Basically what my app does is it um it'll create these like really delusional stories you can listen to from your future self. So like let's say for you it'll be like the day you you know, you call your mom whatever her name is and she like congratulates you and she's so excited the day you like So it's like and you listen to this and you're like dude not only do I want this, I can see [51:11] myself there. And you start to realize you're like that version of me exists in the quantum field. Like the version of you that makes a million and the version of you that makes a billion exists in the quantum field. The question isn't is it possible? It's like do you want that? And when you decide that and you're like I just can hold on to that belief that it is mine no matter what, no matter if I have a good day, a bad day. I'm going to move like it is my destiny every day. I'm going to move One of my favorite methods too is like similar to my app but it's like a time [51:40] machine method where you like close your eyes, you envision yourself walking into a time machine experiencing the future version of you where you are a millionaire or whatever, right? You come back out of the time machine, now you're in the present. Well, if you already experienced that moment and you know it's happening. You don't know how, you don't know what happened from today till then, but you just know it's going to happen, you're going to move very differently today. And so, the next step of manifestation is identity work. You have to embody the identity of a millionaire to become a millionaire, right? You need to have the confidence [52:10] of a millionaire. You need to walk and talk like one. You need to like move like one. You need to make decisions and risks like one. So, embodying that identity is also super important. Um and when you combine all of that, um it happens. And it's going to happen in two ways. It's going to happen one [52:30] through acting out of intuition, right? So, the minute you feel calling, that's your future self speaking to you. That's the millionaire version of you telling you what to do. You got to do it, right? Um and so, it's part that, but it's also going to be part like your energy attracts certain things to you. We are all magnets of our mind. And so, like when you are like, "I'm going to be a millionaire. I'm going to be a millionaire." You have that energy, suddenly, you start having conversations with the right people. Suddenly, you end [53:00] up in a certain room at a certain time. Everything falls into place. So, it's the combination of you like dancing with the universe to create this. You dancing with God. Um it's not just one or the other. It's both of you. You're co-creating with God constantly. Yeah, it's interesting for me because even in business, like right now where we're at, [53:23] Yeah. is just that assumption that we can get on this path. Even though at this point we haven't done much. Yeah. But in my mind still, we're like, "No, we're on this path. We're doing that." Yeah. So, this is worth doing the next thing, investing in channels like that. Exactly. What are the What could I get wrong? [53:43] in manifestation? Um to start thinking pretty realistically. is wrong. Don't do that. Don't do that. Um What do you do when when that comes up when I'm just like what do I do next? What do you do? Um I would say sometimes you don't have to do anything. Like that's the point of manifest Like that's the cool part of manifesting is [54:06] sometimes you don't have to do anything. All you have to do is hold that assumption, hold the conviction, and let the work be done for you. Sometimes you'll feel you'll it'll be obvious. The thing about manifesting is it's going to be very obvious what you're supposed to do. If you truly hold on to the conviction, it'll be very obvious. Um the most important thing you have to do is hold faith. Like that that truly is [54:29] your only job. [snorts] Um the better question is like how do I like What do I do on bad days? Cuz not every day is going to be rainbows and butterflies. Like how do you hold that conviction on the day that, you know, no one's booking the studio or this You know what I mean? So it's like how do you hold that conviction? And when you're so in tune with the version of you who's already a millionaire, when you can see her or him, when you can see that version of you, you know what his apartment looks like, you know what his phone uh like texting messages like contact names look [55:04] like. You can feel like you feel that version of you's energy so profoundly, so deeply, one bad day is not going to change the way you move. But when you're not in tune with that version of you and that's shaky, you're giving more power to your the problem in front of you, and you're going to move out of a state of [55:21] desperation. It's kind of like chess, right? Life is like a game of chess where it's like you might be in a really shitty position on the board right now, right? You might have like a pawn that someone could go take your pawn right now. Have you played chess? Yeah, but I'm terrible at it. [55:37] Okay, me too. Um but a lot of memory. I'm just like it's so much work. I can't memorize openings. I know. It's but But like someone could go take your pawn right now. Oh, like or um yeah, someone could or even a better example is like um you have um the bishop, right? Or yeah, let's say the fight Let's say you have a knight, whatever. You can go take with your [56:02] knight someone's pawn. And you might out of a state of desperation or like whatever, not thinking about the end game, you might go take that pawn not even realizing the queen can go go take your knight in the next step, right? And so you made a [ __ ] mistake. And you move very differently on the chessboard when you know what the end [56:22] goal is, which is just checkmate, right? Same with life. It's like if you know that the only goal is um that the goal is like I want to be a millionaire. I'm going to be a millionaire no matter what. I know that's going to happen. Like there's just actually no other reality. So then when you know that's your destiny, you don't act from desperation on a bad day. You don't move differently. You move like you're winning every single day. And that's a very different energy. It's also very magnetizing. It magnetizes people to you. When you're in winner's frequency, [56:54] everyone wants to be around you. By the way. I don't know if you noticed that. When you're winning, suddenly everyone wants to be your friend. Um and so but that's life, right? Like everything's drawn to you when you're winning. But winning isn't a thing. It's just an energy. You ever meet someone and they like have this energy about them where you're [57:13] like, "Wow, they like have a big game." And then you like actually look into it and you're like, "You don't actually do anything, but you just have this aura that like you're the big guy." It's a thing. And that's the That's good to do. Very Yeah, like don't be like a you know [ __ ] in this podcast studio and I see probably four of these a day. Yeah. For [57:33] podcast. And I get to see a lot of people and some people come in and I'm like well, I don't really know what they're really doing. But some people are very, very confident. Yeah. And you can my assumption is somewhere down the line, especially reality TV people. Oh, yeah. when you walked out of the room, you didn't see all those people were really [57:54] mad at you. And are like want you off the show now. Mhm. So maybe it worked out in your head. But it may also backfire. Yeah. I mean, don't be an [ __ ] But it's more about just when you have the confidence that something's going to work out. Like I think for example, when dating, right? Like it's so attractive in a man when like he might be broke, but if he has this like insane, delusional Not like delusional in the sense that I'm like, okay, you've done nothing in your life and you play video games all day and like whatever. But like when someone has a mindset of I'm going [58:33] to make this happen or I'm going to die trying they always win. I've never seen someone have that mindset and not win. Like if you're committed and you know, no matter what this is going to happen because I I've decided it for myself. I'm willing to do the work, but I'm also willing for it to like happen for me. You always win. I've never seen someone have that mindset and not win or get [58:54] something better. There's one question from Rafael who's in the studio. We're a really small team. He's one of the five people here. And let me see if I can remember the question. It was if you manifest the wrong thing. Mhm. Can it happen for you still? I think it's something along those lines. And what about if you're manifesting [59:18] something that's bad for you? Yeah. Is there some force that's going to stop it from coming to you? So yes and no. Um truthfully, I have manifested things that were not good for me. I'm like, I really want this guy even though I know he's not good for me and I have manifested him and then I was like, that was kind of a mistake. Sometimes you have to learn the lesson the wrong way, the hard way, right? Um, so truthfully, yes, you can manifest the wrong thing into your life and sometimes there isn't going to be a force that comes in and stops it, if I'm being honest because [59:50] and if I'm being honest, I would say I believe that in that more than the latter, which is some force is going to stop it to protect you. Because I just think everything is a reflection of your mind. I think everything is like, um, your your entire reality is just a projection of what you are convicted in. Um, that being said, sometimes you manifest the wrong guy in only to lose him again because you didn't learn the lesson you were supposed to learn, which is he's a [1:00:18] shitty guy. Um, or whatever it may be. Um, and you'll just keep relearning the lesson until you wake up one day and you're like, wait, I actually deserve better than this. Um, so I think we always come but but then again, honestly, sometimes things did fall out of my life just for a better [1:00:38] thing to come in. Um, cuz sometimes I think you think you're manifesting this, but actually what you're manifesting is you're not actually manifesting the that guy. You're manifesting feeling needed, feeling wanted by someone. And so the universe will give you that, but maybe not just just not with the guy who couldn't give it to you. [1:00:58] You know what I mean? Meaning it's the the overall rule is it's all up to whatever your thoughts are. Yeah. But you it's still in your subconscious. So if you think you're saying things Yeah. when you're also feeling things that you just don't realize. Mhm. That's what you're manifesting. Yes. Yeah. You also said you believe in another level of all of this manifestation that's not cuz to me this all seems pretty vanilla. It's like yeah. We're talking the vanilla stuff [1:01:27] right now. Yeah. I live in the same reality as you do to this point. Where do you think that separates? I'm going to be honest. So, this is yeah, this is where we get into the real [ __ ] Like that's the vanilla stuff. That's the psychology 101. This could all be proven by [1:01:41] you know, textbooks. I also believe in like miracles. That's the way I could put it. Like I just believe that sometimes crazy [ __ ] happens simply because you aligned your energy with something. You stepped into a certain frequency. You believed something into existence. So, like I mean, I could tell you a million stories of this, but like there have been things that have happened in my life that I manifested that truly on a statistical level should not have happened. Even where I am today statistically is very unlikely in the way that it [1:02:16] happened. I'm not saying people can't work to become a but in the in the with to the speed that it happened and and with the level of effort that it took me, it's so statistically abysmal that it's almost like you have to almost attribute it to something else, right? Um I think that's part because truthfully there's also other elements where it's like, why did this person come in like my co-founders for my app [1:02:43] for example. I manifested that. Like it I didn't I didn't reach out to them. They reached out to You know what I'm saying? So, it's kind of like and in dating sometimes like I'll meet people where I'm like, I manifested this moment. Like why are we bumping into each other? Like that's crazy. You know what I mean? And it's like I do believe that like God can do something for me [1:03:07] without me lifting a finger. And I have. Like I truly have. Um I've seen miracles play out in my life and in in in lives of others. And it's you know yeah. Just on the first part, I always whenever anyone's talking about entrepreneurs and business and even TikTok creators or Instagram creators, if you're talking about the statistics, you actually have to look at like someone with your intelligence and motivation, [1:03:35] what are the statistics for that person? That's true. That That's actually a good point. have been a pretty good chance that you succeeded. On what though? Once even if you just had to look at how many people there are like you in that situation, how many of them would win, how many of them would lose? [1:03:56] That's true. However, I think it's not in a vacuum, right? Because I I had so many things working against me, too. Like um my debt, right? Or like um like if you think about it, just even that alone, most people, no matter how motivated, like I look at I'm not going to try to copy about, but like I have friends who like we all started in the same position. We all grew up broke, Brooklyn, immigrant, the whole thing. We all went into debt. And I look at where I'm at and I look at where they're at. And that's not to call them out. Like I think we're all on our [1:04:27] own path, but it's like they didn't do certain things because they didn't have the confidence it would work out. So they went the safer route. They went into corporate. They went into whatever. I just had this insane delusional confidence that it would work out that I was willing to take the risk to like take out the student loans and also move across the country to LA and like I didn't know a single person there and I like spent a lot of money on rent and like you know, so I did all these like [ __ ] crazy things and it all added up. Most people, doesn't matter how [1:04:57] motivated, doesn't matter how intelligent, don't have that type of risk tolerance and belief that things would just like work out and they have. You know what I mean? That's what it comes down to. In business, what lessons do you think you've learned Mhm. That you see a lot of people walking around that just don't understand. So many things. Oh my god. I mean, where do I begin? I think the first thing is it's like so much easier than people [1:05:23] think. I think people think business is hard. It's not. It's the most rewarding work that you could ever do. You get to monetize what excites you. And we're really just talking about like business is just making money, basically. Yeah. Yeah. Um First of all, I think like it gets to be easy if you decide to monetize what excites you. I think your your unfair advantage in life as a business owner or as a business owner rather is monetize what gives you dopamine and you will outwork anyone. Um and it won't feel like work. And that's why I always say I get paid to exist cuz like I would [1:05:55] do this all for free. And I did before I ever made money from it. So it like it just doesn't feel It's like my existence. I would have done it as a hobby. We all do things. You're scrolling on Tik Tok. Imagine if you got paid. Like you know that and there exists a world where you can do something that's [1:06:10] as fun as scrolling on Tik Tok for you. Like actually me scrolling on Tik Tok makes me money cuz I'm looking for content ideas. So like literally I've monetized my existence. Um as someone with ADHD, that's something you have to do or else you'll be like it's just you have to when you have ADHD. Um I would say other lessons I've learned is like the most obsessed person always wins, not the hardest working. Um the best product doesn't win, the best known one does. So, you know, the more eyeballs you get on what you're doing, the better. Um you really should be putting all of your [1:06:45] energy into high-leverage things. And one of the highest-leverage things you could do is marketing and like knowing social media because like even for my app, for example, I could have coded it myself, technically, right? Um I could have spent the time to learn how to like manually hard code like the back end and the front end. And it's just like why would I spend the time doing that when like I could hire someone to do that. I could have my co-founders do that and then I can like 10x the output by just focusing on what I'm good at, which is [1:07:14] um, you know, social media. In business, you really should There's always going to be three things that actually move the needle. In every business, you can boil it down to like there's three things that are the oxygen of your business. Without those three things, your business doesn't exist. Every day when you wake up, business is war, right? You're going to be hit with this fire, that fire, these people coming, that You need to just focus like you Every day you wake up, you're like, "My army doesn't exist if I don't have these three things. Might as well not [1:07:45] even enter this battlefield right now." And so, for me, it's like I wake up in every day and I'm like, I get you know, we get distracted. We have emails, we have this and what It's like, wake up and be like, "What is the oxygen of my business?" If I don't post a video today, my business [1:07:59] doesn't exist. Without content, my business doesn't exist. So, every day, spend 90% of your time on what moves the needle. People get excited. Shiny object syndrome. Truthfully, you know the one thing. If you had a gun to your head and I was like, "Make a million dollars." One thing comes to mind, probably. Two, three things comes to mind. If you put your energy into that, watch how fast [1:08:24] you make money. Also, the fear of being seen, the fear of Yeah, limiting Limiting beliefs are holding people back so much and they're blind to it. If your business isn't making seven plus figures, it's literally just because you have limiting beliefs. That's it. Why not a billion? I mean, you could do a billion, yeah. [1:08:48] Why not? That's a classic question anyone It's more in a They'll be making fun of manifestation and say, "Why not a billion?" But, you could. It sounds like You could. I I I I could. I don't techni- I don't necessarily want to. I don't have a desire for it. It's like I could become an NBA All-Star, [1:09:07] maybe. I don't know. My 5-ft, you know. But, it's like I don't want to. It's not like something I wake up every day and I want to. In fact, and for me now, my business I'm not making money for my business because I want more money for myself to pay myself. I just want my business to reach more people. And so, I'm making money to reinvest in my businesses at this point. Um there was once a time where I was like, I'm just doing this business cuz I have to pay bills. Um So, it's interesting how it like [1:09:34] changes. But, yeah. Anda, if you wanted to be an All-Star NBA player. If [gasps] there are a lot of people that maybe they want to do well on TikTok. Yeah. Do well on social media. But, the what they actually care about is something that's not viral at all. Something that no one else cares about. [1:09:52] Everything can go viral. Everything. But, if they're talking about manifestation because they love [clears throat] it. Even though they didn't know anything about social media at the time. If what they loved happened to be manifestation versus what what this person loves happens to be I don't know. Like different types of grass. Okay. The chance of that going viral on the first post [1:10:16] are not the same. Limiting belief. That's such a limiting I don't believe that. I do not believe that. I think both have equal chance of going viral. It's just how you position it. In fact, I'll tell you what. One of the I was actually just I don't know randomly talking about this with a friend yesterday cuz I was talking about um have you ever played [1:10:32] the game GeoGuessr? No. It's this game where like um they drop you um on a random, you know, Google Maps how you have Street View and you can see where you are. Mhm. You know? So, it's this game where it drops you in a random location in the world. You're at Google Street View on that street and you have to um on a map figure out where you are. How and the closer you are to the coordinates of where you got [1:10:54] dropped, the the higher your score. One of the most viral people I know is a GeoGuessr player. I I didn't give a [ __ ] about that. And he literally, by the way, will like get dropped into like a field of grass, speaking of grass, and he will analyze the type of grass, and that will dictate where in the map he is. Speaking of grass, million way more viral than I am. Like literally tens of millions of views on [1:11:18] these videos. Because it's so intriguing and the way his energy like he he First of all, he's good at it. So that's like our niche. seen those. Yeah. Oh, you've definitely seen it. So like my point is, everything can go viral. I watch the stupidest videos about [ __ ] that I've nothing to do with. And it's just like it's either someone's energy about it or their like excitement towards it or the way that they position it, right? Um and so yeah, everything can go viral with the [1:11:49] right energy. So, that same intuition would have worked for anyone, basically. Yeah, 100%. 100%. If you post with the conviction that you're going to go viral and you like embody that frequency and that magnetism and that confidence when you're posting, it will do well. And you know, like there's also like you have to know what goes viral, too, on a you know, on a virality level, but Last question, is there anything that you think you believe or know [1:12:21] that no one else does? That you just like outside of business, outside of manifestation, or maybe in that, but you specifically, you know this thing. I don't think there's anything I know that other people don't or hasn't been discovered in the entire world. I don't think so. Um not yet. I'm open to that type of um I don't want to be like a narcissist [1:12:44] here. Um I'm open to that, but like I haven't I think there's a lot of things I know that people discover a lot later in life or never at all. Like the average person or even highly successful people. And like I'll talk to people who are like in their 50s and they're like, "Dude, I wish I had your mindset when I was your age cuz where would I have ended up?" And so it's costing you a lot of It's costing you a lot in your life. You're taking on a lot [1:13:09] of debt for all your limiting beliefs. You're taking on a lot of debt for what you don't know. You always have to ask yourself, um what is like the stupidity tax I'm paying on my life right now? Whether it be in business, whether it be in manifestation, whether it be in whatever, you're always paying debt on what you don't know about something. And so the faster you can close that gap, um you know, the faster you can start reaping the rewards of it not being debt but it being an investment, right? Um so I'd say it's not that I know something people don't. I think I just discovered [1:13:37] a lot of things a lot sooner. Um yeah. Even just the focus on limiting beliefs, this Yeah. I definitely don't think that way. Haven't thought that way. Maybe I will now. And I think most people in general it's like if we thought about that more it might be My god, 100%. No, it's truly life-changing when you just start realizing like when things are going wrong in your life, ask yourself, "What What is subconsciously cuz you can't see it usually, but what is subconsciously holding me back?" I'll give you a really stupid example. I noticed I was like really hesitating to post certain videos on my Instagram. I was like or like on my [1:14:17] stories or like whatever. And I was like, "If I posted this right now, I would make like a bunch more sales, but I'm just feeling hesitant." And I was like, "Oh, it's because it's like random guy I have a crush on follows me and I don't want him to see this video." And that caught That is costing me tens of thousands of dollars. That limiting belief that I didn't even realize that was what was creating um that restriction in me and that like a resistance, right? Wherever you have resistance in your life, you have a [1:14:41] limiting belief. So the the thing you need to be doing is like start spotting where that resistance shows up. Is it resistance to go on dates with people? Is it resistance to post? Is it resistance to take risk? That resistance is always the result of some programming or some limiting belief and that is costing you the love of your life. It is costing you tens of thousands of dollars. The sooner you discover where that resistance lies and what limiting belief created it so that you can change it and turn it into an empowering belief, [1:15:12] the sooner you change everything. Okay, so maybe it wasn't the last question. What? Yeah. With sales. I definitely see this for myself. Yeah. If I'm in a crowd of people Mhm. and I walk in, I'm like, no one needs me to go up to them right now and talk to them. And if if I go and talk with them, they're here for some other reason, [1:15:33] probably. talking with sales for what? Sales, honestly, for anything, but for us specifically for getting podcast clients, new shows, um podcast guests. Okay. Podcast or You're saying you get people out in the wild? What are you What are you trying to Yeah, sometimes. I think there are a lot of rooms where even like a conference, [1:15:58] Mhm. where a lot of media people are. Okay. What is the right belief to think when you're walking into that room? Oh, I'll tell you. You walk into that room being like every person wants to talk to me right now. You walk into that room like, I have the number one podcast studio in the world. And they would be so lucky to step foot [1:16:19] in my podcast studio. Which might sound a little narcissistic, but what would that mindset make you do? How differently would you talk to people? Suddenly, you're like, you'd be You You walk up to those people, you have conversations like, you'd be losing not to come to my podcast studio. Like you're You'd actually be making a mistake. And when you operate with that energy of I don't need you, you need me, everything shifts. When you come into a conversation, you're like begging people to work with you, that's so um that's unattractive and it's also like you will lose a client so fast. Um same in dating, if I'm going up to a guy and [1:16:52] I'm like um can I get your number? Oh my god, like you operate with desperation and I need you, I need you. That uh will like rebuke something out of your life very, very fast. The fastest way to magnetize something is to have the law of detachment where you're like I don't need you. But if you want, sure, I'll you know, I'll give you the opportunity. But like you know what I'm say It's a very different energy and a frequency and yes, it's manifestation, but it's also human psychology because um in life you always want what you can't have a little bit. Right? And so when you, [1:17:27] you know, there's you know, there's something to that as well, um I think. Yeah, agreed. That was awesome. Thank you. Yay! Oh, and actually before and we'll just cut this back in. Where can people find the app? Where can they What else is there? The course? Uh just the app right now? Just the app and my Instagram. Uh you can get my app Stella on the App Store. It's called Stella Manifest Anything and then I'm at [1:17:54] hot high priestess on everything. Why should people get the app? Dude, the app is actually life-changing. Speaking of having that energy. Um it's so good. You tell it everything you're manifesting, all of your dreams, all of your desires. If you want to meet the version of you who's already a millionaire, you can on my app. So go [1:18:09] meet her right now. Um listen to what a day in her life is like. Or the version of you where that man is getting done. if they don't? Or if I don't get the app? Um if you don't I still believe in you. But I think it's just going to it it's you're just going to wish you did it [1:18:25] sooner. That's it. Love it.
