Symbolism – Podcast

Reading time: 1 – 2 minutes

There are a lot of things that symbolize things but rarely are those symbols the actual thing. Just like a well dressed man CONS the naive woman so does a series of symbols CON the average Sucker. The problem with this is the Sucker starts to look for meaning in worthless things. Instead of understanding exactly what they are used for and who is the Mark to be CONNED they fall for the symbolism themselves. Finally the Sucker starts to back symbols that never amount to anything and reject the use of symbols that will help their overall life and Hustle!

Ok Ok too smart for you huh… well listen to the podcast.

    Cool podcast!! Could you (or have you made) make a podcast talking about the music industry or music producers leasing their beats online around the world?

    Thanks! Truth be told I keep it general because I am not a expert on the music industry to provide valid information on it. But, I’ll look into what you said and see what I can tie into in the future.

    This one had me laughing and nodding my head at the same time. Excellent points on symbols and how we have to be smart enough to use them even though we know they don’t mean anything. Currently, I’ve been debating whether or not to enroll in grad school for my MBA. Not because I believe that the MBA itself means anything or that I want to get kudos for it because I know its just a piece of paper. But because I know that the world sees it and thinks “he’s responsible and he can handle the chips.” Its just a tool to open more doors. Problem comes when people start to believe that the peice of paper actually means something.

    Exactly! We have to use the symbols for the sake of the Suckers who believe in them BUT, we should not believe in them ourselves. Man I went to Law School primarily because I knew I could start my own firm and people would pay me more for having it. So I play the symbol angle all of the time to be effective and get to where I want.

    The world is full of symbols that make most people feel and think a certain way. But if we want money we have to concentrate on making things happen all the while giving everyone else a symbol so they don’t see what we are really up to.

    Hey Freeman, im glad out of all the podcast I downloaded on my phone that was the one! It set me straight because here I am an individual who dropped out of college with 90 credits and move all the way to TX to make business moves with the cat I networked with. This shit is not the business because now Im struggling..riding the bus,etc because I went by someone elses vision and NOT MY OWN! (dumb move huh?)

    Regardless of folks not graduating college and becoming successful..that was his or her’s lane! And because I got a refund check from school, I thought that I would be straight! SMH. If you got money, it doesn’t mean anything if you cannot manage it, or you cant set your path. But you know what I still have to start from where I’m at….and I’m glad I ran into your site and Ed Dunn’s Dream and hustle, because you guys explain that you have to do for self..and I realize ya’ll not just saying that to sound cute!

    Welcome Kozidoesit – Well if you have 90 credits that means you should just enroll in college down in Texas and finish it off. If you are still in undergrad then you should enroll in the closest community college so you don’t have to pay a whole hell of a lot.

    Dumb is not trying homie! So you tried and you failed but you had the heart to try so just dust yourself off and get back to the business.

    Just shake off the loss homie and get back to completing the angle. Until you get rich you might as well finish college as it ain’t going to hurt you to get your school up while you flesh out a real plan for chips. I loss plenty of times before something panned out but during that time I was always in school finishing dumb ass class after dumb ass class.

    Never cute homie LOL! I just want you to get your money right and be independent as that’s true power. The rest of this stuff is a lie. Keep listening I have more in store.

    This was a funny podcast. Don’t hurt those cupcake feelings.LOL

    This reminds me of those “Saved” Christian women I grew up with. Everyone assumed they were good people because they wore long skirts and went to church 5 times a week. They were so damn mean. One made me stand beside a blazing heater so that I could know what it felt like when I went to hell.

    They know how to play the game but they know that get up didn’t make them good people… only the Suckers believed. When we decide to grow up and we have a goal we use all means and all symbols to get there. We don’t hesitate to get a qualification that makes people give us money. We don’t argue over fair and not fair we just execute!

    Wats going on Freeman, I hate to get off subject, but I would like for you to do a podcast on why us black people claim we don’t have money but we always spend our money on bullshit! Certain fellas spend too much money in strip clubs, black women giving asians all their money on hair care products knowing that shit will make their hair fall out, and families spending all their money in church when the pastors are out here raping little boy bootyholes!

    I’m like come on mann..I’m like if we can beat the white man, we might as well make money just like em. We can make money like Donald Trump, Bill Gates. We just need to locate our talent, work consistently, and work harder the extra mile every day.

    By the way, I’m putting all my cousins and bros on your website and they love it! They’re learning and I’m learning so we can create, build, and prepare for ourselves and our next generation of children so we can share our knowledge with them and help them continue to build our businesses into empires.

    @Shooktwos – Thanks!

    @RoyalT – If there was no Sucker there would be no Hustler homie! Everyone is a Sucker in one form or another. Look in order to win a war you don’t need a million generals you need a million soldiers and only a couple become 5 star generals. So you can’t get mad at those who want to be soldiers and don’t want the empire so they trick off the very thing they need to get out of their situation. So you put your family on and those in your circle to make them Kings.

    The world as a whole is a whole bunch of people being taking advantage of so the money isn’t for everyone but the game is for those who attempt it. The plan is for YOU to make sure YOU make it and on the way there we can’t have any emotion about the plight of folks. If you are the King then you can show them the way when you make it. It’s hard to teach a man how to be rich when you are just as broke as he is. So do you homie and don’t sweat everyone else. Make sure you make it!
