      [dramatic music] [camera clicking] [bright music] [camera clicking] If someone's living paycheck to paycheck, what's the very first step they can take to break that cycle?

   2. JSJaspreet Singh0:37

      Yeah, one of the most unfortunate things about money is we use money every single day. It costs money to eat. It costs money to feed other people. We go to work to earn money. Yet most of us are never taught a thing about money. And so what happens to so many people is we go to school to get a good job, and now we go and get an income, and then we go and spend money, and that recipe is a disaster. Just statistically, the majority of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, and by majority, it depends on which study you read. It's somewhere between fifty-five percent and some people say as high as seventy-eight percent of Americans have no money left over for a gift, a vacation, let alone an investment

2. 1:25 – 7:26

   Are You Stuck Living Paycheck to Paycheck?

   1. JSJaspreet Singh1:25

      after I just pay my basic necessities. And now the problem and question everyone has is why and how do I get out? And in order to get out, because that's your question, you have to understand the why. Because the reality, and this is going to sound harsh, but I learned this the hard way, our system is so rigged for the rich and the financially savvy, but we're never taught to be financially savvy. What do I mean? When you understand money, it's much easier for you to get that money and grow that money. When you don't understand it, you're the one that's making everybody else rich. So in this system where you're working to make money and spend money, you're working to make everybody else rich except yourself. Why? Because the majority of America and really the world now is I make money and I spend money, and every dollar you spend is a dollar going into somebody else's pocket. And in our society, we live in what's called a credit-based economy. What that means is if I make a hundred dollars from my job, I have the ability to spend that one hundred dollars plus more thanks to Visa, Amex, Mastercard, Discover, and all the other forms of debt out there. And so if I go out and spend a hundred dollars, I'm gonna make you a hundred dollars richer. If I spend a hundred dollars plus fifty dollars on my credit card, I just made you a hundred and fifty dollars richer. And so when we live in a, a society that's built around spending, but more specifically credit-based spending, and you don't have that, that shield, that financial education, that financial savviness to know what to do with your money, well, now every corporation in the world, every bank in the world is gonna hire the smartest marketers, the smartest MBAs to get you to spend your money there because that's gonna make them rich, and you are going to work just to pay bills, just to make them rich, and now you never have a chance to get ahead. So this system is designed this way. Now, how do you get out? And the way you get out, we can break it up into multiple steps now, and it starts with step number one, building the right mindset. So I'm gonna break it up into seven steps. Step number one is the mindset. And when it comes to mindset, there are four different layers of this mindset that you have to understand. Number one is I will become wealthy. Number two is money is abundant. Number three is money is a tool. Number four, it's, it's my duty to become wealthy. And the reason why I say that is a lot of us grow up with some sort of money trauma, some sort of money negativity. And people say poverty is generational. Well, it's not that we have a gene in our DNA saying you're gonna be poor. What it is, is you grow up hearing money is bad, money is evil, we don't have enough money, that's too much money, we can't afford that. We hear these types of things growing up. And so we start to normalize those things that, oh, okay, as a kid, I can't afford that trip to Disneyland. I can't afford these nice things that I want. And then as you start to get older, you start to have kids yourself. What happens when your kids want nice things? We can't afford that. That's too much money. That, that's beyond what we have. So that gets passed down. It's that, that mindset that gets passed down. So the first step is you need to change the way you talk and say, "I will become wealthy." And I did a little exercise. I used to guest teach in Detroit public schools. And it was a very tough school district, very rough school district, and I would talk to these kids about money, and I think we talked about this on our last podcast, but one of the things I would ask them is, "What is your dream car?" And many people would have dream cars of things like a Ford Focus or a Dodge Challenger. And I would say, "Why not a Bugatti? Why not a Rolls-Royce?" And the answer that I would get is, "Somebody like me from my background could never have a nice car like that." So when you tell yourself, "I can't," I guarantee you can't, which is why you have to start saying, "I will become wealthy." Number two is money is a tool. Many people are scared to talk about money because we're insecure about our own money. But the reality is money is a tool that can amplify who you are. You give a good person more money, they have a tool to do more good. You give a bad person more money, they have a tool to do more bad, which is why we need more good people with money and understanding that, hey, you know what? It is just a tool that can allow you to do more things to take better care of your family, your kids, your parents, and your community.

   2. JSJay Shetty6:08

      Yeah, I think the challenge is we look at how much we're worth as a sign of how much we are worth, right? Like, there's that idea of we're almost looking at it... The reason we're uncomfortable or insecure talking about money is because in some way we believe society values us based on how much we make, and subtly we may have started to value ourselves that way as well.

   3. JSJaspreet Singh6:29

      Well, this is 100% true, and just take a look at it from Instagram. Instagram has become a highlight reel. I'm gonna show my best self, but we often don't look at it as somebody else's highlight reel, we look at it as somebody else's average. And now let's say you're in a relationship. Uh, your wife is now on Instagram and she sees, "Oh my God, this couple's going to Cancun. Oh my God, look at this nice house that this couple has. Oh my God, look at the car he just got her." What's gonna happen? "Hey, hus- husband, how come we can't have these nice things? What are we doing wrong? How come we..." We feel the sense of, like, I'm missing out. And so now we go back to my money is my worth, but that's not true. Money is one part of our lives, and you have to understand that more money will allow you to fulfill the financial part of your life, which is important. But

   The Illusion of Looking Rich While Being in Debt

   1. JSJaspreet Singh7:26

      the only way you get there is by getting on the same page about money and building that separation between the emotional side of money and the logic side of money. And that can be difficult because oftentimes, especially when we're struggling with money, we're thinking emotionally. Why is it that the casinos are in the poorest neighborhoods? Why is it that all these stores are designed to profit off of people that don't have money? It's because when you don't have money, man, it is easy to say, "Hey, let me give you a dopamine hit. Buy this nice pair of shoes, buy this Gucci purse, buy this whatever thing" to the people that can least afford it because it gives you that emotional rush that, oh, that f- spending therapy. But that's the same thing that's keeping you broke. You look rich, you feel better for the moment, and then you have to pay it back plus interest. And in the beginning of this podcast, I said our system is designed to profit off of people that don't understand this. Well, the reality is our system is designed to profit off of keeping you poor. And it's gonna sound harsh, but the reality is banks profit when you are in debt. The more debt you are in, the more money they make. Corporations profit when you spend money. The more you spend, the more they make. The government profits when you are financially uneducated because now you're gonna pay the highest taxes and you're going to be stuck relying on the government, when in reality, when you become financially educated, you can pay less money in taxes legally and not need those same services per se from the government. That's why the financial education is so important, but the only way you can get there is if you can separate the emotional side from the logic side, and it starts with that mindset.

   2. JSJay Shetty9:20

      Money is a tool.

   3. JSJaspreet Singh9:21

      Money is a tool.

   4. JSJay Shetty9:21

      Yeah.

   5. JSJaspreet Singh9:22

      And then it's number three, money is abundant. This one is, is, is a tough one, but it is one of the most powerful tools to become financially successful. Let's say now you make $50,000 a year and you start to watch some financial education content on YouTube and you're like, "Oh, wow, I like this idea to invest my money." And you become extremely aggressive and you find a way to live off of $40,000 and invest $10,000 a year. Well, what happens to a lot of people in this situation is you say, "You know what, Jaspreet? I want to do more of this. I want to be more of an investor because I can see that light at the end of the tunnel. I'm gonna live now instead of off of $40,000 a year, I'm gonna live off of $38,000 a year and put aside 12,000. Then maybe I'll live off of 37,000 and I'm gonna invest 13,000." This is a scarcity mindset way of thinking because you think that there's a limited pie and you can just squeeze more pennies out of the pie. I mean, everybody on the internet talks about why you need to stop drinking Strob- Starbucks so you can have $5 more to invest. Well, let's flip that just a little bit. You make $50,000 a year. You're saving and investing 10,000. But what if now you work to earn $500,000 a year? And if you were going to save and invest that same percentage of your income, that means now you can save and invest $100,000 a year. Now, the first time you hear that, your response is probably going to be, "Jaspreet, you are out of your mind. My boss is not gonna 10X my income. How am I supposed to go from 50 grand to $500,000 a year? Are you ex..." you know, bad word. Well, I want you to take a step back. What did we just say? I will become wealthy. Money is a tool. Money is abundant. There's a lot of money in the world, a lot of money. There are some people that make whatever you make in a month. There are people that make whatever you make in a week. There are people that make whatever you make in a day, and there's probably people that make whatever you're making in an hour. If you start to reframe the way you look at money, now you can start doing different things. Maybe you start watching more YouTube videos on how do you earn more money. Maybe you start to read books about it. And maybe you don't get to $500,000 a year, but maybe you get 80% of the way there, 50% of the way there. It's still a lot further, and you will never get there unless you start thinking about money in terms of abundance. And finally, it is my duty to become wealthy. In the Sikh religion, um, we have three main values. I'm not here to preach anything, but there are three main fundamental tenets. Naam Japna, Vand Chhakna, Kirt Karni, which means remember God, serve others before you serve yourself, and earn an honest living. It is, in my belief, your duty to become financially successful so you can take better care of yourself, better take care of your family, and take better care of your communityAnd once you can understand these things and change the way you think, it's not easy, but if you can work on that, listen to your podcast, listen to the other stuff out there, now you can move on to step number two, which is learn the rules of money. And again, I know we're getting into the theoretical stuff. Right after this, we'll talk about the practical side of what do you actually do with your money, but you have to learn the rules of money because one of the things that I learned is that wealthy people understand that money is a game, and every single person is playing this money game.

   6. JSJay Shetty12:49

      Mm-hmm.

   7. JSJaspreet Singh12:50

      But the way that wealthy people are playing the money games are very different than everybody else.

   8. JSJay Shetty12:56

      Yeah.

   9. JSJaspreet Singh12:57

      The average person thinks about money and how you attract that money is, "I have to go to work, and I have to earn this money. I have to, I have to work hard to get this money." Now, you do have to work hard. There's no way around that. But the way that wealthy people and financially savvy people think about money is, "I'm gonna work hard, not to make the money, but to own an asset."

   10. JSJay Shetty13:15

       Mm.

   11. JSJaspreet Singh13:16

       "And this asset is going to make me more money. I'm gonna work to own the, the things that will keep paying me even after I stop working." And that is a completely di- different way of thinking because the average person is thinking, "If I can make a little bit more money, I'm gonna drive a better car. If I can make a little bit more money, I'm gonna buy a better house. If I can get a bonus, I'm gonna go on a vacation. If I can get a nice raise, I'm gonna buy my wife a nice purse." We think in terms of spending. Wealthy people think in terms of investments. And there's three rules of money that I learned that you have to understand. Number one is that money flows to the investor. When I go to Chipotle, and I, and I buy a bowl of extra guac, who am I benefiting? Am I really supporting the employees? Yes, in a way, because I will be paying their salary, but the, the real profits are going to the owners of Chipotle. It's going to the investors of Chipotle. Money rule number two is inflation benefits the investor. What does that mean? Over the last five years, we've seen the prices of things rise. This is because of inflation. Inflation didn't just start after the pandemic. It's been happening for a long, long, long time, and so you might have heard your grandparents or parents say, "When I was young, I used to go to the movie theater for a nickel, a dollar," whatever it might be. Now it's $25 to go to a movie. This is inflation. So now when you spend those more dollars at Chipotle, who's getting those more dollars? It's the owners of Chipotle, the investors. And then finally is our system is designed to benefit the investor. As a licensed attorney who's not your attorney, I can tell you that when you earn your money as an investor, you are going to pay a lower tax rate than when you earn your money as an employee. That's why it is so important to understand the rules of money because our entire system is designed to make the financially savvy wealthier while everybody else is paying the price. I'll give you one more example. When I was in law school, I learned about this concept called fiduciary duty, and what I didn't understand, and what I learned, is that the CEO of a company, your boss, has a fiduciary duty to make one person rich. Do you know who that is? It's not the employees at the company. It's not the customers at the company. It is the owners of the company, the investors in the company. The CEO has to make decisions to make the investors rich, and we're never taught to become an investor. We're taught to become an employee. Now, it's not bad to work a job. That's not what I'm saying. In fact, that's probably the best thing for most people. What I'm saying is you have to understand that when you go to work, you now have to take some of that money and become an investor. Now, when you do that, now you can start to get into the practical steps of what you do with your money.

   12. JSJay Shetty16:13

       Yeah.

   13. JSJaspreet Singh16:14

       So we talked about now step number one is you have to build the mindset. Now you have to learn the rules of money. Now we get into the practical side, which is step number three, get out of the financial danger zone. And what I mean by that is the very first thing you have to do is save $2,000 as fast as possible.

   14. JSJay Shetty16:34

       Just 2,000.

   15. JSJaspreet Singh16:35

       Just start with 2,000 as a start, and then pay off your credit card debt. Half of America today does not have $1,000 put aside to protect them against emergency. So if your car breaks down, your kid gets sick, your window breaks, the average person has to go into debt to pay for that expense. You have zero breathing room. If you want to go on vacation, you want to do anything, you, you have to go into debt to do that. So we need to stop that. I call this the financial danger zone. You need to save $2,000 as fast as possible, and the way you can do that is by spending less or working to earn more, and you have to make some extreme sacrifice if you don't have that.

   16. JSJay Shetty17:20

       Do you know what people are wasting the most amount of money on right now in, in the United States? Is there any research on that?

   17. JSJaspreet Singh17:27

       Oh, man. [laughs] Well, if you are somebody who does not have $2,000 saved up, there's a lot of things you gotta cut out. And this is gonna sound mean, but I don't say what I say to make friends. I s- say what I say to help people be better with money. You should not be eating at a restaurant. You should not be going on vacations. You should not be driving around in a fancy car. You shouldn't be living in a big fancy house. Right now, you got to make some extreme sacrifices if you don't have $2,000, so much so that what I tell people is you should not have a Netflix subscription, not because it's gonna save you $15 a month, but because the average American is watching somewhere between two to three hours of Netflix a day. If you don't have $2,000, how can you feel comfortable sitting there at nighttime watching whatever the heck is on Netflix? You have to have a little bit of urgency that, "Oh my God, I gotta take care of my family."So whatever you can cut back on, do it. And then once you get that $2,000, pay off your high interest credit card debts. Because when you are

4. 18:37 – 27:13

   What is the First Thing You Should Cut to Start Saving Money?

   1. JSJaspreet Singh18:37

      in that situation where you have those high interest debts, you are trying to climb a mountain with 1,000 pounds of chains strapped to your back. You're never gonna get to the next step because any time you get some money, you gotta pay it back off. In fact, let me give you an example. Jay, if I gave you $6,500 today, and you invested that money today, you never touch that money again, you never invested another penny again, and you could get a, let's say, 20% return a year on that money, in 40, 45 years, you are gonna retire very wealthy. You're not gonna have a million dollars, $5 million, $10 million, $50 million. You're gonna have closer to $60 million off of that one investment of the 6,400, $6,500 that I gave you today. Now you're gonna say, "All right. Sign me up, Jaspreet. Give me that money."

   2. JSJay Shetty19:29

      [laughs] Yeah.

   3. JSJaspreet Singh19:29

      "And, uh, where do I invest it?"

   4. JSJay Shetty19:30

      Yeah.

   5. JSJaspreet Singh19:31

      Well, here's the reality. Do you know who's getting those returns? Amex, Visa, Mastercard, Discover. And do you know who's paying it? You.

   6. JSJay Shetty19:40

      Hmm.

   7. JSJaspreet Singh19:41

      If you have credit card debt. And so instead of you having that wealth, you are the one that's paying for their private jets. You are the one that's paying for their big buildings. You are the one that's paying for their luxuries, which is why I get so serious about this, that if you want to become wealthy, you have to, you have to, you have to get out of this financial danger zone. Once you get there, now we can get to the next step, step number four. This is where things start to get fun because you finally have a little bit of a foundation. Now you can create a system for your money. The difference between wealthy people and everybody else is wealthy people know what they're going to do with their money before they earn it. Everybody else gets the money, and then they wonder, "Well, what should I do? How should I spend this money?" And this is where it is very helpful to have a, a system for your money. A, a... One that I teach is a 75/15/10 plan, which says for every dollar that you earn from here on out, 75 cents is the maximum that you can spend. 15 cents is the minimum that you invest. 10 cents is the minimum that you save. This way, whether you're earning $30,000 a year, $300,000 a year, or $3 million a year, you're always gonna have a rule of how much you can save, invest, and spend.

   8. JSJay Shetty20:58

      Break that down for us again.

   9. JSJaspreet Singh21:00

      75/15/10. So the way I'd like you to do this is I want you to open three bank accounts. And you're gonna make money. Money gets deposited into one bank account. Create an automatic withdrawal and deposit. That money gets pulled out of one bank account, and 15% goes into your bank account holding your investment money, 10% goes into your bank account holding your s- savings money. The reason why you wanna have three different bank accounts is because if you have $100 in one bank account and you think, "This is my investing money and my saving money," you go into the store and you see this nice sweater on sale. It's $90. I have $100 in my bank account. Well, I should be able to afford it, right? Well, you forget that some of that money is supposed to be saved and invested, and then you pay taxes on that sweater, and now you spent 98, $99 on a sweater, and oops, I just spent my savings and my investment money, which is why you need the three different bank accounts. Your savings are not going to make you wealthy. This is a big lie that we've been sold. Your savings are there to protect you. Your investments are there to make you wealthy, and that spending money is what you pay for your house, your groceries, your vacations, and everything else. Now we move on to the next step is how do you spend your money smartly? And this is where things start to get a little bit painful, but this is where you can really accelerate your wealth. You know how to spend your money now. You have a good system. Now when it comes to actually accelerating your wealth, you gotta spend your money smartly, and what I mean by that is no more financing things that don't put money in your pocket. And then follow the rule of five when it comes to luxuries. So when it comes to no more financing things, it's very normal. You wanna buy the new iPhone. Why would you pay $1,200? Put it in $50 a month, 0% APR. It's free money. Why wouldn't you take it? Well, let me ask you a question. If I walked into the bank today and I said, "Give me a $1,000 loan at 0% APR," what are they gonna say? "Heck no. There's the door." Why is it that somebody's willing to offer me 0% APR? And not just somebody, a very profitable corporation. Because they know how to make money off of you with a 0% APR. Why? Because at 0% APR, number one, it's gonna make it much easier for you to buy the new iPhone more often. Number two, you don't feel the pain of $1,000 leaving your bank account. It's just $50 a month. Number three, when you buy the new phone, well, now they can sell you the new AirPods, the new charger, the new case for it. And then number four, they know that a lot of people are not gonna pay it off in time, and now they're gonna slap on that 15, 20, 25% interest, which then makes them even wealthier, which is why you should not be financing things, even at 0% APR. If it doesn't put money in your pocket, do not finance it. The only exception is the house that you live in. And then my rule of five. If you can't buy five of them, you can't afford one of them.

   10. JSJay Shetty23:52

       [laughs]

   11. JSJaspreet Singh23:53

       Especially for luxuries.

   12. JSJay Shetty23:54

       That's a good rule.

   13. JSJaspreet Singh23:56

       So you wanna buy a nice $1,000 watch? You better have $5,000. So-

   14. JSJay Shetty24:02

       Of disposable income

   15. JSJaspreet Singh24:03

       ... of extra money.

   16. JSJay Shetty24:04

       Yeah.

   17. JSJaspreet Singh24:05

       Now we can get into the next step, which is how do you earn more money? This is step number six. Because now we know how to create a system with your money. You know that I'm gonna do 75/15/10. I know how to spend my money. Now let me earn more money, and this is the part that many people get flipped because they assume that I just, they gotta make some more money. Well, if you make more money without knowing what to do with that money-You make more money than you make other people rich with it because you just go and spend it. This is where now it is important for you to figure out how can you earn more money. Maybe you ask for a raise at your job, maybe you get a second job, maybe you create your own business, maybe you learn how to utilize artificial intelligence. You find ways to earn more money, but you keep following that system, the 75/15/10. And that's the key is as you earn more money, you keep investing more money because that's what's gonna make you wealthy. And then finally, at the top, step number seven, is you have to protect your assets. And there's two parts to this. Number one is you gotta understand the legal side. That means understanding taxes, because taxes can be one of the biggest expenses that you have to pay. You have to understand how do you pass this wealth down? How do you put shields around you? Because when people realize you have money, they're gonna want some of it for themselves. And this also means how do you give back? How do you help others? How are you gonna leave a legacy for yourself and your family? That's now wealth planning. And so we talked about now kind of the whole progression of these seven steps, but it starts with that mental side of understanding the mindset. Then you gotta understand the framework of the rules of money. Then we start with the basics of saving the 2,000, paying off the credit card debt. Then you build a system for your money. From there, once you have the system, you have to know how to spend your money the right way. Then you have to learn how to earn more money the right way. Then you learn how to manage your wealth, grow your wealth, and pass on your wealth.

   18. JSJay Shetty25:54

       Yeah. That is a really brilliant system. I mean, that's a masterclass truly because it-

   19. JSJaspreet Singh25:59

       I call it the climb to wealth.

   20. JSJay Shetty26:00

       Yeah. It's brilliant. It's so great, and I love that it goes from... I love that you start with the mindset and then switch into the practicals of money because if you taught all the practical stuff and people didn't have the mindset, you'll make mistakes, and you'll actually put your money in the wrong places. And if you only have the philosophy and the mindset and don't have the practicals, well, then it's just a nice idea. On eBay, every find has a story. Like, if you're looking for a vintage band tee, not just a tee, the band tee from the last show your favorite band ever played. You wore it everywhere, then your best friend started wearing it, which was cute until they unfriended you and took it with them, which was not so cool. Anyway, now you're on eBay, and there it is, same tee from the same tour, still living in your memory rent-free forever. See? The things you love have a way of finding their way back to you. But eBay isn't just for getting whatever your ex or ex-best friend stole back. It's also for that rare championship foul ball you caught, then heroically gave to the kid next to you. And where else are you going to find your first car? The one you wish you never sold, but

   The Fastest, Most Realistic Way to Make More Money

   1. JSJay Shetty27:13

      now finally get the chance to take back home, for good this time. Shop eBay for millions of finds, each with a story. eBay, things people love. The big question that comes to my mind right now is for anyone who's like, "Jaspreet, I'm making that $50,000. I'm making that $30,000. I wanna make more money right now. What is the fastest, most effective, realistic way I can make more money today so that I have more of the 75/15/10 split to ultimately invest more? What do you recommend I do in this day and age right now?"

   2. JSJaspreet Singh27:50

      And can I recommend what you shouldn't do too?

   3. JSJay Shetty27:52

      Yeah.

   4. JSJaspreet Singh27:52

      So I talk about investing a lot. That's- that is my focus, is the financial side of what do you do with that money. And so, uh, I was actually just doing a conversation with somebody about this, where a lot of people who end up in a tough financial situation, whatever it might be, maybe you have debts, you have expenses, you have... You, you're in a situation where money is tight. You go onto the internet, and now you start to hear about this topic called passive income. And now you think, "Wow, if I could just have some more money coming in passively, I could pay all my bills and no longer have to worry about money." But that's not how it works. Investing and everything that I'm talking about when it comes to growing your wealth is when you have extra money that you don't need, and you throw it into this investment. You throw it into this asset that is going to then grow and make you more money. It is not fast, but if you do it right, it works, and it can make you wealthy, and that's how that works.

   5. JSJay Shetty28:54

      Mm-hmm.

   6. JSJaspreet Singh28:56

      Your question was, how can somebody start to earn more money fast? And the first thing that you can do, ask your boss for a raise. But don't do it with the way most people do it, because what most people will say is, "Hey, boss, I've been working here for a long time. Can I get an extra $5,000 a year, $10,000 a year?" Whatever it might be. And, well, what your boss is probably going to say is, "No, because you want me to pay you to do the same thing?"

   7. JSJay Shetty29:26

      Based on what... Yeah.

   8. JSJaspreet Singh29:27

      "No." Instead, I want you to think about it from their perspective. The fastest way for you to make more money at your job is to make your boss more money. And if you can show them, "Hey, I'm gonna make you an extra $20,000 a year, you pay me an extra $10,000 a year," now they will probably say yes because you are adding more value to them. How can you do that? It's gonna depend on your position, but find a way to add more value and go to them and say, "Hey, look, here's what I'm going to do. Here's how much more revenue I'm going to drive. Here's how much more money I'm gonna make you. I just want a piece of what I'm going to make you." Some people are gonna say that and say, "Wow, I like that idea." Others are gonna say, "Screw that. I don't wanna make my boss richer." Okay, then, well, you can try to do something for yourself.

   9. JSJay Shetty30:09

      Mm.

   10. JSJaspreet Singh30:09

       And today, AI is probably... Not probably. It is the biggest opportunity that we have at our fingertips. It is growing faster than the rate of the internet. It's growing faster than the adoption of blockchain, and most people think that AI is, "How do I go into ChatGPT and search guacamole recipes?" But if you can understand AI-You can get ahead of the curve and solve a problem for many businesses or people with money, help them understand it, help them use it, and in exchange, you charge them money to do that. And there's so many ways to do it. I mean, this is gonna get into how do you actually make money? How do you build a business? But if you can find a pain point... For example, dentists have a pain point, which is that patients don't show up for their services. Well, you can use AI to help solve that pain point. What can you do? If you can show these dental offices, "Hey, let me build you an AI tool that will automatically text your patients when they have an appointment," and it will say, "If you can't make it, click this button." If they can't make it, and you click the button, your AI tool will then work to find somebody else who's on the waiting list to come in and fill that slot. Well, now all of a sudden, you helped that dentist office fill more of the slots, have less vacancies, and make more money. And then you can take it one step further. After they're done with their procedure, send out an automatic text message saying, "Did you like your service? How was it? If you enjoyed it, give us a five-star review on Google," which is gonna help drive more patients for the dentist office. And so that's the thing is people assume, "Well, I'm just gonna go teach AI. I'm gonna go help." It's too broad. Get specific. There are s- every business in the world should be using AI to some way, shape, or form.

   11. JSJay Shetty32:05

       Yeah.

   12. JSJaspreet Singh32:06

       Most people have no idea how it works. If you have some time, study it. Learn. And if you can figure out a one pain point, go out and solve it for one person. Let that be a testimony for the second, let that be a testimony for the third, and now all of a sudden, you're in business.

   13. JSJay Shetty32:24

       Yeah. I love, I love, I love the first piece of advice as well, and I think there's three types of people that ask for a raise. The first person just asks for a raise, as you said. They're like, "Oh, can I get some more money?" And it's like, "Well, you're doing the same exact thing. Why would I pay you?" The second type of person shows you everything they've done in the past and asks for a raise.

   14. JSJaspreet Singh32:45

       [laughs] Yeah.

   15. JSJay Shetty32:46

       And the person

6. 32:47 – 34:31

   How to Become Revenue-Generating at Work or in Business

   1. JSJay Shetty32:47

      again goes, "Well, that's great, but you did that anyway."

   2. JSJaspreet Singh32:50

      Yeah.

   3. JSJay Shetty32:50

      And then the third type of person goes, "This is what I wanna do," which is what you're saying, which is like, "Hey, here's how I'm gonna make you 10,000, 20,000% more," whatever it may be in your position. And that third type of person is the person who gets the raise because you're now investing-

   4. JSJaspreet Singh33:06

      Right

   5. JSJay Shetty33:06

      ... as an employer in what you hope is something that's valuable to you if it's a win-win.

   6. JSJaspreet Singh33:10

      If you work a job, you have to know how you're making money for your company.

   7. JSJay Shetty33:15

      Yeah.

   8. JSJaspreet Singh33:16

      If you don't, spend this weekend figuring that out because unless you understand how you drive revenue for your business, you are just a, a piece of space. And I say this as nice as possible because we're talking about AI. AI is getting smarter. It is getting more advanced. I mean, ChatGPT did not exist five years ago. It is getting more advanced every single day, and, you know, there's a lot of talk about people being replaced by AI, which is true, but the bigger threat to that is you being replaced by somebody who knows how to use AI.

   9. JSJay Shetty33:54

      Yeah.

   10. JSJaspreet Singh33:55

       And so if you don't understand how you're driving revenue for your business, well, there's a chance that there's a missing link between what you're doing as a job and what the business needs from what you are there to do.

   11. JSJay Shetty34:10

       Yeah. And-

   12. JSJaspreet Singh34:10

       And that's what you gotta figure out

   13. JSJay Shetty34:11

       ... and even with your second part of the answer, which is, like, how do you learn to use AI for something, it is people who start with problems. Like, trying to figure out a problem that you can help solve-

   14. JSJaspreet Singh34:22

       Mm-hmm

   15. JSJay Shetty34:22

       ... that is really where it is. I think often we sit there and we go, "Oh, I wanna come up with a really cool idea."

   16. JSJaspreet Singh34:28

       Yeah.

   17. JSJay Shetty34:28

       And it's like every cool idea was only

7. 34:31 – 39:03

   Start by Solving a Problem You Already Understand

   1. JSJay Shetty34:31

      cool because it solved a good problem. If it didn't solve a problem, it wasn't a cool idea. And so if you are close to a problem, like sometimes people think also, "I wanna go do something that I enjoy and love," and that's great and, and wonderful if it works out. But it's like there's something that you know in your career path-

   2. JSJaspreet Singh34:48

      Yeah

   3. JSJay Shetty34:48

      ... because you're close to it. I have a friend... Funnily enough, you talked about dentistry. I have a friend who's a dentist. He just understands the dental industry better because he's been so close to it for so many years.

   4. JSJaspreet Singh34:58

      Yeah.

   5. JSJay Shetty34:58

      It's not his passion. It's not what he loves. It's not what he enjoys, but he's been able to build solutions-

   6. JSJaspreet Singh35:04

      Yeah

   7. JSJay Shetty35:04

      ... for dental practices that allows him to make more money b- than even being a dentist. And again, it comes back down to what you just said, which is start where you are. Start where you understand problems. You don't have to go and learn some new industry-

   8. JSJaspreet Singh35:19

      Yeah

   9. JSJay Shetty35:19

      ... and figure something out because I think that can feel quite overwhelming sometimes to think, "Oh God, I don't know anything about what's-"

   10. JSJaspreet Singh35:25

       Yeah

   11. JSJay Shetty35:25

       ... "happening in the world."

   12. JSJaspreet Singh35:26

       You got to know your, your skill set as well, but I think you nailed it on the head with that problem side because I looked... As you were talking, I was kind of smiling 'cause I was looking back at my life, and I was like, "Everything that I've kind of done sort of successfully was because there was some problem that I was trying to solve." My first kind of real s- uh, I don't wanna say first, but one of my earlier, more successful businesses was an e-commerce company. It was a water-resistant sock. And this is... I mean, it, it goes so beyond what we're talking about, but I, I came up with this idea because I was in school. I was in college taking a public speaking class, and they gave us an assignment to pitch a product to the class-

   13. JSJay Shetty36:09

       Mm-hmm

   14. JSJaspreet Singh36:09

       ... kinda like Shark Tank-

   15. JSJay Shetty36:10

       Mm-hmm

   16. JSJaspreet Singh36:10

       ... or Dragon's Den, and I procrastinated. I put it off. And one day it was raining for class, and I ran to class. I stepped in a puddle. I got to class, and the teacher's like, "It's your day to present." And I said, "Present what?" She's like, "The product." And I said, "Oh, crap." Now I'm standing in front of the class. My heart is beating. My socks are wet, and I started talking about water-resistant socks that if you're an athlete... because I used to play football in high school, American football. Uh, oh, man, when it rains, your feet feel soaked, and I started talking about water-resistant socks and how athletes would love it. And I, I sat down, and I was likeThat's kind of a cool idea.

   17. JSJay Shetty36:43

       [laughs]

   18. JSJaspreet Singh36:44

       How can I do that? So I created a water-resistant sock, and that was my first kind of internet business. And then I think about what I'm doing now. Uh, so I run a company called Briefs Media. Our flagship product is called Market Briefs, which is a, a free daily newsletter. And that started because during COVID, the economy flipped upside down, like in a matter of a day. And so I went from making YouTube videos like three times a week to seven days a week. And there's a-- there's, there's so much happening in the news that I asked my team, I said, "Hey, uh, can you send me a daily briefing of what's happening in the markets?"

   19. JSJay Shetty37:17

       [laughs]

   20. JSJaspreet Singh37:17

       "And make it stupid simple so I can understand," because I don't like complex jargon. And so my team started sending this to me, and I, uh, I was like, "Huh, I wonder if other people would like this." So I would occasionally mention this on my YouTube channel that, hey, if you wanna get a daily report of what's happening in the markets, you can just join this newsletter. At the time, it was called The Minority Mindset Newsletter. Super original, right?

   21. JSJay Shetty37:39

       Yeah. [laughs]

   22. JSJaspreet Singh37:40

       And, um, just that started picking up, uh, attention. People started to like it, and I was like, "Huh, we can actually do something with this." We were not making any money, but I was like, I, I see the value because I like reading this newsletter, and I don't like the complex jargon of all the traditional financial news. I just wanna know what's happening in the stock market, in the housing market, in crypto.

   23. JSJay Shetty38:00

       Yeah, yeah.

   24. JSJaspreet Singh38:01

       I just break it down into a quick five-minute read. And that's when we re-rebranded it into Market Briefs, and I said, "Hmm, let's ignore all this other, like, stuff that we were doing, and let's put more energy and focus into Market Briefs," and that's what then allowed that to take off, which then was the flagship for many other products that we have now in our company, but it started with that pain point.

   25. JSJay Shetty38:21

       That's awesome, yeah. Yeah, it's always a pain point. I just-- Whether it's something like that, like a newsletter, whether it's the biggest business in the world today, like it all started from a pain point.

   26. JSJaspreet Singh38:32

       Yeah.

   27. JSJay Shetty38:32

       And, and I think if we spent more time with pain points, we'd come up with better ideas rather than trying to come up with solutions and ideas to problems that either don't exist or that we're imagining. I, I know a lot of people like this, probably even on my team, people that I know, friends and family who are like, they were never exposed to investing. They ne- even I wasn't. I had no idea growing up what investing was.

   28. JSJaspreet Singh38:55

       You and me both.

   29. JSJay Shetty38:56

       Yeah. I had no clue. No one ever explained it to me. I didn't know anyone who invested really, I don't think. Maybe

8. 39:03 – 45:13

   How to Start Investing (Even With Little Money)

   1. JSJay Shetty39:03

      I knew one person who had one other property than the one they owned. I didn't grow up in that circle. If someone's out there going, "Okay, I wanna start investing. What's the smallest amount I need to start investing? What's the number?" Where do they start?

   2. JSJaspreet Singh39:18

      Now, $1. You can start investing with any amount of money, and the whole idea of investing is you take this extra money, and you're gonna put it into this thing. You're gonna buy something with it, with the goal of making money off of this thing, as opposed to just buying a watch or a pair of shoes. But the part that I think a lot of people don't understand, especially if we don't grow up learning about investing like we didn't, is there's more than one way to invest. Because 10 years ago, what was investing? Or what did people think investing was? How do I find the next Amazon? How do I find the next Apple? Today, a lot of people think investing is how do I find the next meme coin? How do I find the next cryptocurrency before it pops off? We start to think of investing in terms of gambling, especially because now there's so much of it around us. I mean, there's sports betting, there's, uh, there's foreign exchange market, there's poly markets. I mean, people are betting on, uh, what the Federal Reserve Bank is going to do next. They're betting on these wild decisions off of... You remember that one, there was that big couple that got caught cheating at the Coldplay concert.

   3. JSJay Shetty40:27

      Yes, yes.

   4. JSJaspreet Singh40:27

      I forget who it was.

   5. JSJay Shetty40:28

      Yeah.

   6. JSJaspreet Singh40:28

      There was a, uh, a betting market around are they gonna file a divorce or not. So people are, quote-unquote, "investing" their money on tho- that type of thing. So people are now, like, making businesses out of all sorts of prediction markets. And so we start to assume, without any financial education, that investing is the same thing. We're just going to predict what's gonna happen in something tomorrow. But that's really not what investing is. Investing is something that you want to buy and own for the long term that you believe is going to either go up in value and maybe pay you with some sort of interest along the way. Maybe it's gonna deposit money every month. Maybe it's gonna deposit money every three months. Maybe it's gonna deposit money every year into your bank account for not doing anything. That's what investing is. So now how do you go about doing it? And there are three layers that you need to understand. Number one is the most hands-off, and that is I'm gonna give my money to you, a financial advisor, and you are gonna manage my money for me, and now it's completely hands-off. And so if you just run some basic numbers, if I invest $1,000 a month for 30 years, and my financial advisor can beat the markets, they do 11% a year, I'm gonna end up with $1.8 million, but I gotta pay a fee. I gotta pay a price. You might have to pay one and a half percent in fees, so you might end up paying $500,000 or $600,000 in fees. So that $1.8 million is what you're getting after the fees. Option number two, if you wanna be a little bit more involved but not fully involved, is what I call being a passive investor. And passive investing is all about finding a basket of stocks, and now you just keep consistently investing your money in it. So for example, you can invest in the United States economy, in the broad economy, and one of the most common and popular ways to do that is to invest in something called the S&P 500. That's a group of the 500 largest companies in the stock market. You don't have to go out and find Amazon and Tesla and all these companies. You just invest in this fund, and you don't have to touch it. And the nice thing about it is-If you invest your money into this fund, and let's just say Amazon goes bankrupt, you don't have to do anything. The fund is gonna kick Amazon out as they get smaller, and they're gonna replace them with another company, so it's completely fas- passive for you. Historically, this has averaged about ten percent growth a year. A little bit more than that, but right around ten percent historically. Despite the recessions, despite market crashes, because know-- we know that they happen, it has averaged about ten percent a year. So if you invest a thousand dollars a month for thirty years, that would be about one point nine million dollars. Then you have layer three, the most involved. This is called being an active investor. And being an active investor is not trading, it's not flipping. It's I wanna own good investments that I believe in, that I've researched, and I've put the work into, and I wanna own them for the long term. So this might be investing in individual companies, individual stocks. Maybe now I wanna invest in Amazon, maybe now I wanna invest in McDonald's or whatever. Maybe it's investing in individual re-real estate properties. And the goal with this is you're taking on more risk for more potential return. So we talked about how if you just invest your money into the broad economy, you're averaging about ten percent a year. As an active investor, you know, we're not talking about two hundred percent returns or a hundred percent or even fifty percent returns that people like to talk about on the internet, because that's not sustainable. It's a lie, it's a scam, and they're screwing you over. We're talking about a slight edge. Let's just say thirteen percent a year. If you can do that, thirteen percent a year, a thousand dollars a month for thirty years, well, now you're gonna have about three and a half million dollars. So we're talking about one point six million dollars more than if you passively invested. You're taking on more risk. It's more work and more research, but there's more potential upside. And so you have to know kinda where along this curve you wanna be, because active investing is not for everybody. This is what our firm focuses on, is that research for active investors, but it's more risk for more potential upside.

   7. JSJay Shetty44:53

      Yeah. And, and it almost feels like it's better to start and move layer by layer by layer rather than dive straight in.

   8. JSJaspreet Singh45:01

      It often is. Just to start with what's most accessible to you, because what is most accessible to most people is something like a 401 [k] or IRA. And

9. 45:13 – 46:43

   Begin With the Easiest Investing Option Available

   1. JSJaspreet Singh45:13

      I personally don't use a 401 [k] because it's not right for me, but personal finance is personal, okay? What's right for you is not gonna be right for me. Start with whatever you have access to, and then take the next step, and then take the next step, and then you'll start to realize what are all the options out there, because it can be intimidating. Because you say, "Oh my God, should I invest in stocks or real estate or crypto? Should I invest in individual companies or ETFs or mutual funds? Oh my God, should I be investing in apartments or mall or single-family houses? Should I be using..." Like, take a breath. It's okay. Just start. The reason why people don't see the success that they want out of their investments isn't generally because they made the wrong decision, it's because they never made a decision. It's because they never started. But once you can get started, you can make that adjustment. I ta- I, I relate, uh, investing to working out all the time because I see the same thing in the gym. People that are getting started with working out, they'll say, "Jaspreet, what should I do? Should I go do these high-intensity workouts? Should I do these low-intensity workouts? Should I do carnivore diet? Should I do a vegan diet? Should I do th..." You know, th- Look, just get on a treadmill and put down the donuts.

   2. JSJay Shetty46:16

      [laughs]

   3. JSJaspreet Singh46:16

      Right? Start-

   4. JSJay Shetty46:17

      Yeah

   5. JSJaspreet Singh46:17

      ... and then take the next step, and then the next step.

   6. JSJay Shetty46:20

      Yeah.

   7. JSJaspreet Singh46:20

      And just, just start, and then you'll see what works better for you.

   8. JSJay Shetty46:24

      Yeah. How do you track the stock market? Break that down for me for someone who doesn't know where to start. Kinda like what we're saying right now, where, you know, someone's like, "Oh, I'm thinking of doing this, I'm thinking of doing this." They don't understand. How would you break it down for them?

   9. JSJaspreet Singh46:36

      Yeah. So, well, the stock market is a place where anybody can go out and buy a piece

10. 46:43 – 51:17

    How the Stock Market Really Works

    1. JSJaspreet Singh46:43

       of ownership in a company. Not every company. The company has to be what's called publicly traded. So for example, Briefs Media, my company, it's private, meaning you can't invest in my company. But if a company is publicly traded, for example, McDonald's, you can buy a piece of that company. It's called a share. And if you buy one share of McDonald's, you become one of the owners of that company. So when I go to Nike and I buy a pair of shoes, I am a consumer at Nike. When I own one share of the Nike stock, I become one of the owners of Nike. As the owner of Nike, I profit when you buy the Nike shoes. As a consumer of Nike, I am making the investors richer, but I look cool 'cause I got the Nike, I got the Jordans on. And so the whole idea behind the stock market is you are buying shares of these companies that are publicly traded. Now, the price of a stock is going to depend on whatever the stock is, and what causes the price of a stock to go up and down is not how much money the company's making. It's supply and demand. And what I mean by that is the price of any asset, real estate, stocks, crypto, it ultimately depends on how many buyers and sellers there are of that asset. So if more people want to buy the McDonald's stock than there are sellers of the McDonald's stock, that stock price will go up. If people are selling the stock more than there are buyers, the price of that stock goes down. Which then goes to the next question: What causes it to go up or down? Why do people buy versus why do people sell? And there are a whole list of reasons, but you can look at the obvious. If McDonald's starts to produce bad hamburgers, the owners might say, "Ah, I don't know about this." Well, maybe not the hamburgers, 'cause McDonald's is actually in the real estate business. But if McDonald's starts to have some problems, the owners might say, "Maybe I should sell." If McDonald's starts to have smaller profits, now the investors might get concerned. If they start to have bigger profits than expected, more people might wanna buy, which could... push the stock price up. So you have to understand the psychology of the buyers and sellers because there's two parts to successful investing. One is the, the financial side, but it's also the emotional side. And in today's market, our markets are more emotional than ever before. Business Insider actually did a study on this recently where they f- I mean, it's not really that hard to find, but they said that our stock market is more volatile than previous decades, which for the average person is not good because they say, "Oh my God, I, I, I'm scared my mark- the markets are gonna go down, I'm gonna lose money." But for the financially savvy, that creates more opportunity than ever. In 2025, for example, we saw three stock market crashes. When we saw the first announcement of tariffs, markets crashed. Then tariffs were paused, markets hit new record highs. Then we had the second announcement of tariffs, markets crashed. Once those were paused, markets rose again. Then we had Liberation Day, the third announcement of tariffs, markets crashed at the f-fastest rate since the pandemic. Then they were paused, and markets broke new record highs. See, for the average person, that was a nightmare. But for the financially savvy, all of those downturns created a great buying opportunity. The thing that I like to tell people is you're going to see ups and downs, but when you have those crazy times, I want you to remember one thing. I want you to remember poop, P-O-O-P. Why? Because panic leads to overselling, leads to opportunity, leads to profit. And that's where, you know, we've been talking a little bit about the education side of investing, but that psychology is just as important because if you're the one that's panicking, well, you're making somebody else wealthier.

    2. JSJay Shetty50:47

       Yeah.

    3. JSJaspreet Singh50:48

       And you have to understand what it is that you're investing in and know how that fits in with your investing strategy. That way, you can actually make money instead of being the person that's making somebody else money.

    4. JSJay Shetty50:58

       Yeah. I was gonna, I was gonna say that one mindset that sticks very close to what you're saying, which may have to go earlier on in your system, is this idea of... I'm trying to get the language right. You, you'll name it better because it's your system, but this idea of just don't chase fast money because I think the reason why we get scared when the

11. 51:17 – 53:59

    Why Quick Money Never Lasts

    1. JSJay Shetty51:17

       markets crash when we're not financially savvy is because we thought, "Oh God, I lost all my money. Let me take it out," right? Or, "Let me avoid putting more money in because things are not looking safe." And this idea of this mindset that we have around, "I just wanna make money quick," you know? "I just wanna put something in. Next year it's huge, and then I wanna pull out." And it's like, well, that's, like, very, very rare for people to pull off, and I think that speedy money is what stops us from making good decisions because by the time you actually put money in, you're like, "Oh, they... I should've done it last year," right? 'Cause you're just watching that quick win. Does that make sense?

    2. JSJaspreet Singh51:52

       Yeah. And that, that is actually-- It goes back into what you were saying a little bit ago when you said, "What about that person who's living paycheck to paycheck? What does that person want?" I want a relief of where I am. So what is that relief often? It's fast money. It's like, "Oh my God, my arm hurts. What do I want? I want relief. Give me the Extra Strength Tylenol or whatever it is because I just want a quick fix." And so what happens to a lot of times that person in the situation, and we, we were hinting at this from a different angle before, is you get screwed over. The system profits off of you because, well, you are a prime candidate for spending money. But now, if you start to say, "Oh my God, I just wanna make some more money," what happens? Well, you become a prime candidate for that fast money, and that fast money, most of the times is not there. And when it is there, if it does happen to come fast, you are also gonna lose it just as fast.

    3. JSJay Shetty52:50

       Mm.

    4. JSJaspreet Singh52:50

       Because if you don't know what to do with that money, well, it can go and leave just as fast. It's, uh, they say, I think it's like 80% of lottery winners go broke or bankrupt within five years of winning the lottery. Why? It's not because you didn't have enough money. People have won millions and millions and millions of dollars. If you don't have the financial education and the money comes fast, it's going to disappear just as fast. And on the other side, when you become desperate for money, you become a prime candidate to buy those programs and services that are trying to sell you this dream of, "Hey, all you gotta do is work three hours a week on a laptop off of a beach in Bali, and you're gonna make $10,000 a month, $10,000 a week. You don't have to do anything." It sounds amazing. Sign me up. $997, no problem. Well, that fast money-

    5. JSJay Shetty53:37

       Yeah

    6. JSJaspreet Singh53:37

       ... doesn't work like that.

    7. JSJay Shetty53:38

       Yeah.

    8. JSJaspreet Singh53:39

       There's no sacrifice in the hard work.

    9. JSJay Shetty53:40

       Yeah. You brought up AI. Where do you see the biggest opportunities with AI and investing right now?

    10. JSJaspreet Singh53:46

        Oh, man. Well, let me premise it with this, 'cause I love talking about history, because while history doesn't exactly repeat itself, it does rhyme. When the internet started to become popular in the '90s,

12. 53:59 – 1:01:48

    Where the Real Financial Opportunities in AI Are

    1. JSJaspreet Singh54:00

       we started to see very similar things happen. What do I mean by that? If you started a company in the mid to late '90s and you put the word .com at the end of it, you could go to whatever bank or investing institution you wanted and raise a couple million dollars because they wanted a piece of that action. Money was just being dumped into the internet companies. And then came the year 2000, and in the year 2000, that internet bubble that was created popped, and we saw internet stocks get wiped out. And there was a index called the Nasdaq, which tracks a lot of these techy type companies. At that time, it was a lot of internet companies. That index fell by about 78%, and it was a disastrous crash where even Amazon stock fell by more than 90%.But during that time, we started to hear the news that the internet must be a fad, the internet's done, no one's using the internet before. I mean, there was a lot of famous headlines from-

    2. JSJay Shetty55:08

       Yeah, yeah

    3. JSJaspreet Singh55:09

       ... big newspapers that published that. Well, what happened? It wasn't that the internet died, but a lot of internet companies did die. It was the strong companies that survived, and Amazon became what it is today. So you talk about AI. Could we be in an AI bubble? Absolutely. Uh, we're always in some sort of bubble. We have more money going into AI than ever before, and it really feels like that rate is accelerating, and it's like, it's like a infinite black hole of money. It's just money coming out of everywhere, from the government, from foreign countries, from investors. Everybody wants a piece of the action. Could we see an AI bubble burst? Absolutely. But just like how the internet bubble burst, it doesn't mean the AI is going to go away if it does happen. It means that the smart and the savvy will survive, and then the others will get wiped out. So now let me ask that, answer that question now. Where is the opportunity? And I'm gonna explain this like an onion. Because like onions have multiple layers, that's how savvy investors like to think about their investments. Because when a lot of people think about AI, they think, "How can I invest in ChatGPT?" Well, when you're saying that, what you're essentially saying is, "I wanna invest in the company that's producing the AI," and there are companies that do that, which sure, but that's the top layer of the onion. What every savvy investor wants to do is they wanna know where is the money moving, where's the money going to go before other people understand. That's what investment research is all about, and that's what I, I try to spend a lot of my time and what's my company works on. So let's, let's now go one layer deeper. Well, w- what is the AI going to be powered by? What is powering this technology? Well, right now, it's being powered by computer chips, because in order to do this AI computing, you need powerful computers. Well, the next generation of computer chips, which we don't have yet, could be something called quantum computers, and a quantum computer is essentially a supercomputer to the 1,000th power on steroids, that a, a typical computer, like so... And I don't wanna get too technical, but a, a typical computer that we have today can solve one math problem a second. That's just the way that it works. But what a quantum computer can do is it can solve multiple problems per second. So a 64-bit computer that we have today, which exists, that can solve one problem a second, a 64-qubit computer can solve, if I remember the numbers correctly, I think it's 18 quintillion problems a second.

    4. JSJay Shetty57:58

       Oh, wow.

    5. JSJaspreet Singh57:59

       What does that mean? A quantum computer can solve what a normal computer would take hundreds of years to do, that same problem could be solved in a matter of seconds.

    6. JSJay Shetty58:11

       Insane.

    7. JSJaspreet Singh58:12

       It is. We're not there yet, but there are companies that are investing in it. If that happens, some of those companies could make a lot of money.

    8. JSJay Shetty58:19

       Mm-hmm.

    9. JSJaspreet Singh58:20

       Well, let's keep going another layer deeper, right? We're going down the onion. So we talked about the first layer, which is the AI, maybe quantum. What about the third layer? If, if I have a AI company, or I have AI, I have data. And as much as we wanna talk about privacy, the reality is if you have a, a smartphone, you have data that's in the cloud. Well, the cloud isn't in the clouds. The cloud is actually in a physical building called a data center. So as AI starts to gather more data, because anytime you ask ChatGPT a question, whether it's a guacamole recipe or something, "Write me this email," that data is being stored somewhere, and that data is being stored in a data center, and that could also create an investment opportunity because now as we start to have more data being processed, as more people use AI, more data is being created every single second. So now data centers are now booming because of that. In fact, I was just reading that there are some companies looking at putting data centers on the moon now as a way to diversify. That's how crazy it's getting, that we're looking for new ways to put data centers outside of the Earth. We could take it now one layer deeper in the onion.

    10. JSJay Shetty59:31

        [laughs]

    11. JSJaspreet Singh59:31

        Right? So we talked about data centers, but those data centers have to be powered too, because those data centers need energy. Those, uh, data centers that are keeping all this stuff use a lot of power, and there are specific companies that are powering those data centers, and these companies are trying to be as innovative as possible of how can we now power the data center for as low cost as possible? And somebody is going to win that race, and the one that wins that race is gonna make a lot of money. That can create an investment opportunity. Let's take it one layer deeper in this onion. That data center has to be kept at a specific temperature, because they have all these computer parts in there that get hot.

    12. JSJay Shetty1:00:12

        Mm. Mm.

    13. JSJaspreet Singh1:00:12

        I mean, if you, if you use a, a computer, you know, you get that sound, it gets hot. Well, if that data center starts to overheat, it is going to malfunction, and no AI company, no tech company wants to lose that.

    14. JSJay Shetty1:00:27

        Wants to lose data.

    15. JSJaspreet Singh1:00:27

        I mean, it would be a disaster. So these data center companies are investing heavily into data center cooling, which is a whole new industry of companies.

    16. JSJay Shetty1:00:37

        Yeah.

    17. JSJaspreet Singh1:00:38

        Well, one of those companies is going to be the most efficient, they're going to be the most innovative, and they're going to be the best one, the, the, the one that everybody wants to use. Well, they're gonna have the opportunity to make a lot of money as well. And so this is what smart investors are doing, is, you know, when people think about AI, "Oh, I want to invest in this AI stock."

    18. JSJay Shetty1:00:55

        Buy, yeah.

    19. JSJaspreet Singh1:00:55

        Well, that's the first layer of the onion. But what savvy investors are doing is they're pa- peeling that layer back, and they're trying to think two years down the road, five years down the road, and what are all the things that are impactedBy that artificial intelligence. Now, you can invest in the individual companies. There are funds that can give you exposure to, to artificial intelligence, but the whole idea is understanding... I mean, this is investing 101, is understanding where the money is moving.

    20. JSJay Shetty1:01:21

        Mm.

    21. JSJaspreet Singh1:01:22

        And that's where the opportunity will be.

    22. JSJay Shetty1:01:25

        It's a great answer. Sign me up to Market Briefs.

    23. JSJaspreet Singh1:01:27

        [laughs] Yes. And that, that's what we cover.

    24. JSJay Shetty1:01:30

        But that's the, that's the insight you're giving people, right? Like, if, if someone signs up, are you able to say, "Hey, these are the three companies right now that are building X, Y, Z for you to be informed," and then someone could go and look at that, or how does that work?

    25. JSJaspreet Singh1:01:45

        Yeah. So, so Market Briefs itself is the news.

13. 1:01:48 – 1:03:46

    What Market Briefs Is and Why It Matters

    1. JSJaspreet Singh1:01:48

       We, we give you a snapshot of what's happening that's free.

    2. JSJay Shetty1:01:51

       Right.

    3. JSJaspreet Singh1:01:52

       Then for the investors, we have different types of products for the different type of investor, 'cause we talk to people that want to work with a financial advisor. Well, we can help refer you to a financial advisor. For those of you that want to be passive investors, we're building tools for you, that way you can analyze ETFs and do all that stuff with the power of AI in there. We're building our own proprietary tools, which I've never talked about before, but hey, here we are, uh, launching in 2026. Some really powerful stuff. Then for active investors, we have our Briefs Pro product, which is research. And the thing that makes this so unique and powerful is traditionally, if you wanted to know what Wall Street knows, it was, number one, extremely expensive. Number two, it's extremely complicated. I mean, if you go and read BlackRock's reports, which I do, I'm a weirdo, I, you know. But if you read any of these bank's reports, it is complicating. It's difficult. And there's a lot of technical jargon in there that, you know, unless you are a professional, it's really hard to understand what these companies are doing. So what we try to do is we have analysts that do real research. I mean, we're, we're gonna talk to executives, they're going out and attending trade shows, they're going out and putting in all this work to find where money is moving, and then we break it down into our pro research for the active investors.

    4. JSJay Shetty1:03:21

       Yeah.

    5. JSJaspreet Singh1:03:21

       Because not everybody should be an active investor. It's for the people that actually want that research that we break down into-

    6. JSJay Shetty1:03:27

       Yeah

    7. JSJaspreet Singh1:03:27

       ... plain English.

    8. JSJay Shetty1:03:28

       How should someone who's a university graduate right now, a young person, prepare for an AI-driven economy? What should they be thinking about?

    9. JSJaspreet Singh1:03:38

       You better learn it. You better... It, it is inevitable. At first, you know, I'm one of those guys,

14. 1:03:46 – 1:09:52

    How to Prepare for an AI-Driven Economy

    1. JSJaspreet Singh1:03:46

       I hate to say this, but I'm one of those guys that kind of has always fought technology. I was very anti-smartphone for a long time. I was very anti-touchscreen phone for a long time. Uh, I still don't really understand how to use Netflix. My wife is the, the lead on that. And I was kinda like, you know, with AI, I was like, "Oh, this is cool. We'll see where this goes." And as I started to learn about it more and more, and I started to use it in my own business, I started to realize, oh my God, this is not one of those things that I can just kind of sit on, because the internet changed the world quickly, and the companies that understood the internet were able to grow very fast, and the companies that didn't failed. Blockbuster, bankrupt. Sears, bankrupt. Well, AI is doing the same thing at a much bigger level, at a much faster rate, but our minds haven't gotten faster. And that's what makes it very unique, because humanity can only evolve as fast as we can evolve. I mean, our, our minds can only grow at a certain rate. Technology keeps growing exponentially faster.

    2. JSJay Shetty1:05:01

       Mm.

    3. JSJaspreet Singh1:05:01

       So when the internet started to grow, we thought it was extremely fast. I mean, over the course of 2000 to 2010, we saw a lot of companies that were not getting involved with the internet getting wiped out. Well, ChatGPT did not exist five years ago. And here we are today in 2025, and you have a lot of companies that have replaced workers with AI. And, and, and sure, there's a lot of companies that have not started adopting it yet, but the companies that are savvy have started integrating AI in some way, shape, or form. I mean, I, I have a s- a YouTube channel in Spanish. I'll give you an example. And what I used to do is we used to take my videos, send it to a person, who would then write down my script, and then he would record it, or he would translate it, and then he would record it. He would give us the audio recording, and then we would take the audio recording and impose it onto that video. I mean, this was the process.

    4. JSJay Shetty1:05:59

       Yeah.

    5. JSJaspreet Singh1:05:59

       I'm sure you've done something similar. And then that would get published. And that's what we did for a long time. Then came AI. You take the YouTube URL, you put it into this thing, you press Enter, and 15 seconds later, it's a video dubbed in Spanish in my voice at a fraction of the price.

    6. JSJay Shetty1:06:18

       And speed.

    7. JSJaspreet Singh1:06:20

       I-I-

    8. JSJay Shetty1:06:20

       It's insane

    9. JSJaspreet Singh1:06:21

       ... you don't have to rely on somebody else. This guy's on vacation, I have to wait for him to come back from vacation, or if I'm doing an interview with somebody else and I need two voice editors. I mean, it, it was just, it w- it was difficult and expensive. Now with AI, it's not like that. So we're talking about in just a few years, we've gotten to where we are today, and we're not even at the goal of what AI wants to be. The goal with AI is AGI, artificial general intelligence. And if you read what OpenAI has published on their website, they say that their goal is to build a smarter artificial general intelligence for humankind. Meta has said the same thing. I mean, pretty much any AI executive has made it explicitly clear that their goal is not artificial intelligence, it's AGI. And what AGI isIt's an AI that will do the work for you. So let's say I wanted to start a, a guacamole business, right? I, I like guac.

    10. JSJay Shetty1:07:21

        You love guacamole.

    11. JSJaspreet Singh1:07:21

        I, I, I like food.

    12. JSJay Shetty1:07:22

        [laughs]

    13. JSJaspreet Singh1:07:23

        I, I'm just a food person. So if I go to AI and I say, "I want to start this business," it can give me some recipes, and it can say, "You know, you can do... Uh, you need to file an LLC. You should go fi- find an assistant, and you should find a place to build your recipes and things like that." If I ask that same question to AGI, the results are very different. Instead of telling me what I need to do, AGI will go out and actually file my LLC for me. It will go out and sign a lease for me to rent my warehouse.

    14. JSJay Shetty1:07:55

        So weird. Yeah.

    15. JSJaspreet Singh1:07:55

        It will go out and hire me a team. It'll hire me an exist- an executive assistant to run the business for me.

    16. JSJay Shetty1:08:01

        It'll probably hire an AI executive [laughs] .

    17. JSJaspreet Singh1:08:02

        It'll hire the AI to do that work.

    18. JSJay Shetty1:08:04

        Yeah.

    19. JSJaspreet Singh1:08:05

        That's what's every AI company is working for, and the first company to get there is going to be the one that is going to be making all that money. And if you don't understand that, you're gonna be left behind. So if you're out of college, you have to learn about AI. I don't care what industry that you're in, learn how to use it because, you know, a lot of people talk about there's not gonna be need for human workers. I don't necessarily agree with that.

    20. JSJay Shetty1:08:33

        Yeah, I agree with you.

    21. JSJaspreet Singh1:08:34

        But there's not going to be a need for people that don't really understand how to use AI. And so you need to understand how to use it to make your work better, to make your work more efficient because you might not be replaced with AI, but you'll be replaced by somebody who understands AI. And I know at our company when we hire, I don't care what the position is, even our customer service reps, we ask them, "How do you use AI? What do you understand about AI?" Because we want to know s- how you are thinking. And i- if you are out of college, you are in a... I mean, this... And people look at it as a big con and a big hindrance, but for the savvy, it's a huge opportunity because most people have no idea. They don't know anything beyond ChatGPT, and all they use ChatGPT for is the very basic stuff [laughs] of how do I write an email or analyze this for me. But if you can start to research it, and there's a lot of free resources on YouTube-

    22. JSJay Shetty1:09:33

        Yeah. What would you recommend for someone who's like, "I really wanna learn AI this year. I wanna give, you know, a couple of hours a week to do it, maybe a couple of hours a day 'cause I'm really excited about it." Where, where do they start?

    23. JSJaspreet Singh1:09:43

        Start with YouTube.

    24. JSJay Shetty1:09:44

        Okay.

    25. JSJaspreet Singh1:09:44

        I mean, YouTube's got so much free content out there, and, and learn something. And it's free, free to try it. Go onto

15. 1:09:52 – 1:12:20

    The Best Places to Learn About AI Right Now

    1. JSJaspreet Singh1:09:52

       ChatGPT, go onto YouTube and learn what can I use AI for, and you're gonna see all these crazy stuff. Just start to go down some rabbit hole that can align with your career. So if you're a dentist, how can I use AI in a dentistry office? If you are an engineer, how do I use it as an engineer? If you are a construction worker, how can construction workers use t- uh, AI? I mean, there was a... The thing that I was reading about window washers. This is not a tech-savvy industry, but it was talking about how there's a business of people now that are building AI tools for window washers saying, "Hey, when you have to go and clean people's windows, how do you know which house to go to first?" If you can have an AI tool to build that route for you, you can save time and do more houses in a day. And if you can use that same AI tool to help you give quotes that are more realistic to maintain your profit margin without you necessarily having to go to every single house, now you can give more quotes that are more accurate and spend less time doing it. So if you want an edge as a window washer, use AI. If you want an edge as a real estate agent, use AI. I mean, in real estate, there was... Uh, i- if you want to help sell a house, you want the house to be furnished. You want it to have the nice furniture so people can imagine their- themselves living there. Well, it's expensive to furnish a house, but what if you can take a virtual tour of a house 'cause somebody can take a video of it, and you can use AI to superimpose the furniture in the house. Now, somebody can imagine themselves living in that house with a virtual tour, but they don't have to go to the house, and it costs you a fraction of the cost of actually furnishing it, which means that you can find more of that potential buyer faster, easier if you can show them how they could potentially live there. Again, it's not replacing the need-

    2. JSJay Shetty1:11:55

       Absolutely

    3. JSJaspreet Singh1:11:55

       ... for them to go there, but it's making it easier for them to decide if they want it or not.

    4. JSJay Shetty1:12:00

       Yeah, definitely. Yeah, I've seen the AI that lets you try on things when you're online shopping for your-

    5. JSJaspreet Singh1:12:05

       Oh, it's crazy

    6. JSJay Shetty1:12:06

       ... avatar to see it, for you to see it, whether it's purchasing something. It's, it's incredible just how much it's speeding up decision-making purchase. Again, which means, again, going back to your original point where we started is you're

16. 1:12:20 – 1:14:02

    Why Financial Education Matters More in the AI Age

    1. JSJay Shetty1:12:20

       either gonna become the consumer-

    2. JSJaspreet Singh1:12:21

       Yeah

    3. JSJay Shetty1:12:22

       ... or the investor and the user.

    4. JSJaspreet Singh1:12:23

       100%.

    5. JSJay Shetty1:12:24

       Because we are all gonna consume based off AI because it's gonna make it easier to spend more.

    6. JSJaspreet Singh1:12:28

       Absolutely.

    7. JSJay Shetty1:12:29

       Yeah.

    8. JSJaspreet Singh1:12:29

       And the people that understand it, it's gonna, uh... The internet made some people wealthier. It made it easier for everyone else to spend money, right? We, it started off with, oh, you can just spend money without driving to the store. Well, then it became the one-click purchase a- because Amazon realized that for every time you had to click a button to get to the checkout page, they lost about 50% of buyers. So they said, "How about we just create the one-click purchase? That way it's so easy to buy." Then came buy now, pay later online. So you go to the purchase. Don't, you don't need the money to buy anymore. Just hit buy, and we'll figure out how to get your payments later. Now, with AI, it's gonna know what you want before you know what you want.

    9. JSJay Shetty1:13:13

       Mm.

        And it will be presented to youAnd the people that don't understand how to control their finances are going to be spending their money much faster. The people that understand this are gonna be able to gather that money much faster. So it's what side of the game do you want to be on? And it goes back to the financial education, which we're never taught.

    11. JSJay Shetty1:13:36

        It's great. Masterclass. It's fantastic. Really great, man. Really, really great.

    12. JSJaspreet Singh1:13:40

        I appreciate it, man.

    13. JSJay Shetty1:13:41

        Yeah, it's-

    14. JSJaspreet Singh1:13:41

        The world is, the world is changing

    15. JSJay Shetty1:13:42

        ... so simple. No, but it... the world is changing. It's changing fast, but what I really appreciate about talking to you is you make it so simple, and you make it applicable for everyone. I hope everyone who's been listening and watching today has a roadmap. I feel like they have the steps that they need to take to improve their financial wellbeing, and that they're supported in that because

    Spend More on Investments That Increase Your Freedom

    1. JSJay Shetty1:14:02

       it's such a systematic process. And it doesn't matter how much or how little you have, it feels like you've given people a real blueprint to start with.

    2. JSJaspreet Singh1:14:10

       The reason why I wanted to do this is because I was actually reading a statistic, um, l- right when your team emailed me, which was, we know that somewhere between 50 to 70% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. And then I was reading a statistic that said 72% of Americans have Netflix. What that told me is that the average American is spending more money on Netflix than they are on their investments, and that's a problem. That should be flipped. Or it should be way beyond flipped. And it's what are we prioritizing? And the, the reality is the reason why so many people do that is because we just don't know there's an alternative. And that's what we're on the mission to do, is to help, help people be better with money. Because it costs money to eat, it costs money to feed other people, and unless you learn, you are gonna be the person making everybody else rich and never wondering, never understanding why. Why? How come I can't ever have freedom? How come I can't ever have those nice things? How come I can't ever do that stuff that everybody else is doing? But it starts with your mindset, and it starts with that financial education.

    10. JSJaspreet Singh1:16:43

        Well, thank you, Jay. I... You know, it's always a pleasure to be on with you. Uh, we gotta bring you out to Detroit sometime.

    11. JSJay Shetty1:16:48

        Absolutely.

    12. JSJaspreet Singh1:16:48

        And, you know, the small changes add up.

    13. JSJay Shetty1:16:51

        Yeah.

    14. JSJaspreet Singh1:16:51

        So get started. It doesn't matter where you are, it adds up. And I'm gonna give one last stat-

    15. JSJay Shetty1:16:57

        Please

    16. JSJaspreet Singh1:16:57

        ... because as you said it I was like, "Oh, you know, I should say this." If you can invest $4 a day from the day you turn 21 until the day you turn 65, and you just invest your money into the markets, you will retire a millionaire. $4 a day. That's something that I think everyone in a first-world country can strive to do, regardless of where you are. It's possible. Just get started.

    17. JSJay Shetty1:17:26

        Well said. Amazing, man. Thank you.

    18. JSJaspreet Singh1:17:29

        Thank you.

        You set a goal today, you achieve it in six months, and then by the time it happens, it's almost a relief. There's no sense of meaning and purpose. You sort of expected it, and you would've been disappointed if it didn't happen
