    Very cool. Kevin O’Leary said YEARS AGO that people should pay their houses off. I was debating it but it was a no-brainer, so I DID 😅 less than a year later the pandemic hit and a lot of people I know had to sell their houses because jobs were scarce. Best advice I’ve ever taken. Thanks Kevin! And thanks Erika for I having this episode!!

    This guy literally said that poor people can aspire to rich people and that's "fantastic". "The interviewer cites Oxfam's statistic that the world's 85 richest individuals own the same wealth as the three and a half billion poorest, leading to O'Leary's response that left both the interviewer and viewers taken aback. "It's fantastic," he says, "And this is a great thing because it inspires everybody. Gets the motivation to look up to the %1 and say ‘I want to become one of those people,' I'm going to fight hard to get up to the top." "This is fantastic news and of course, I applaud it." Kevin O'Leary receives a surprised look from the interviewer, causing him to ask, "What's wrong with that?" With a puzzled expression, she asks, "Really?" He replies confidently, "Yes, really." Trying to understand his point, the interviewer asks, "So, are you saying that someone living on a dollar a day in Africa wakes up every morning and thinks, 'I'm going to be Bill Gates'?" To which Kevin O'Leary replied, "That's the kind of motivation everyone needs.""

  • Kevin O’Leary taught me to always say the truth because then I’ll never have to remember what I said
  • @LostxInxPandora
    Am I the only one distracted by the strobing LED lights in the bg? 😂
  • @Pablo-ash
    Disco lights in the background, party time 🎉.. is it one of Kevins developments? Thanks for your content Erika keep it up!
  • @jacksonbliss
    Wow, that interview was awesome. I’ll admit that my expectations were lower since you never know how much substance is behind TV personalities, but KOL gave us so much insight, honesty, and inspiration. And you asked all the right questions! ✌️
  • @denialara8464
    Great job and the disco lights got me moving 🕺💃🤣😉

    You have a remarkable ability to stay focused on your goals and tune out the noise, which is truly admirable. It's clear that your success is driven by your unwavering commitment. As someone who values time as the most precious asset, how do you strike a balance between your rigorous work routine and enjoying personal moments or hobbies like collecting watches?
  • @boybvlog1851
    Im addicted to your videos Erica, very helpful and a lot of learnings where i can use in the future. I loved that entrepreneurship mindset I dont need a 9-5 jobs. from the Phililippines
  • @eileenthedream
    I Love Kevin! He's my favorite because although he seems stern he is smart & I can see his heart! ❤
  • @GoGoChateau
    You're the best! Love the channel.... I'm sure you already figured out thatt the light flicker is from lights being out of sync with camera shutter speed. Always hard to determine until you play back... You can fix it in post in Premiere if that's what you're using to edit.

    For non native english speakers it would be essential to add subtitles, to help us follow the speech, especially because it is a tecnical topic. Would you insert them? Thanks, from Italy.
