0:00 toward the end of the class she wrote me this long letter about like hey my husband is a banker he's like runs one of the banks if you want an intern when you graduate let me know um you know I think you have potential this and that for business math numbers all this stuff wow and then I joined the gang but like during that time did you think about it at all though when you first got that letter like 15 seconds ago I was very inspired welcome back to another awesome episode of the careful boys where today we have Mr subin here sub what's up Subs what's going on anybody call you Subs cool with me Subs all right I got a question for you first okay think of the best teacher
0:51 you've ever had what did they teach and what made them so special Oh I thought you said t-shirt that's what I said that's what I thought too I was like t-shirt this was nice teacher I ████ apologize guys speaking of t-shirt you guys could get this baby doesn't speak with an accent you're her teacher hey hey speaking of t-shirt you guys notice the careful boys t-shirts you can get it first week of October Link in the description box oh dude that's so sick can I buy one no full price Co 10% on I'll take it I'll give you one 10% off just you know all right teacher teacher teacher H think of the best teacher you ever had and anything anything what did they teach you what made them special someone that made an impact in your life play sentimental music in the background Ryan's playing right now he's
1:43 [Music] composing you're supposed to answer dude we got caught up with the song it's so good come back around come back around no you know what stunt coordinator you're stun coordinator teacher stun coordinator three three guys there's three guys Justin U Kyle PA Andrew Franklin those guys were Killers first big job what made it awesome was they they before the biggest gig has to happen they'll come come to me like personally and just talk to me like make me feel very comfortable don't trip relax make sure you flip over this way
2:33 that way you don't get hurt and then blah blah blah blah they would keep just they' be really good at explaining step-by-step process of every situation to the point where that little edginess is relax and then by the time it's time to shoot it boom you send it and you're good to go and they come back they you know they look at you from the corner and just go boom once that dumbs up you're like okay super motivated and you're ready to do it again and just the whole process not even just doing the movies but how to act around in the industry don't be doing this so you don't look stupid D D D D D those were the best teachers actually one of the highlighted ones so out of those three you can only choose one pick one subie they're all watching Jak is very famous come back around I'm back
3:27 around oh yeah floor's open floor's open guys you have any teachers that you're like oh I remember you I would say my my dad was my teacher in a way cleaning rocks yeah yeah for sure there's those like those moments but um my dad taught my brother and I Chess at a young age so the way that he taught us chess too um like we would have chess homework on on different openings and mid games and end game strategy um but I like the critical thinking aspect that he taught us in guards to chess um and the one thing that always sticks with me is when you see a good move look for a better one so that's something I always applied to life it's tight so yeah I would say him what does that mean in chess so if your opponent shows a good move then you so like when maybe you see a good move on your end yeah and you go okay yeah that
4:18 looks like a good move that would put me in a more leverag position we'll look for a better one meaning like look at the whole board again because maybe there's something you're missing wow that's pretty cool cuz you Tunnel Vision on that one thing so then it's like for me I apply that to like all aspects of my life and think about like okay maybe not react immediately to a certain situation and look for a better move or a better way of approaching it that would probably put me in a better position long term and I don't always do that but I try to but you know you're supposed to but I'm supposed to yeah but it's always there it's always in the Forefront of my mind so so I would be dope my teacher I have one but I don't think I fully understood what they told me until
5:09 literally this week SI ████ so I had a teacher Mar ke shout outs to uh Mrs C I don't even know if she's alive anymore but she was like one of the most impactful teachers I've ever had she's a math teacher and um she always had this thing where like she had the highest AP pass rating in the nation like always top 10 she taught the calculus and for her everything started with belief so starting from first day of class she would stand just by the door and she everybody come in give high five and say I'm a committed to get a five on the AP so everyone you every go everyone high fives and walks in the class and then on the way out high five and then her like AP passing is always like 90% and above and then 85% everyone gets the perfect score in her class
6:00 and then so like like I understand that concept of like believing in yourself and if you don't believe and you doubt yourself already then there's no way you can achieve it right so I think I understand that generic concept and this week I was on a phone call with like a business mentor and his and his business partner and he said something that I was like oh ████ I never ████ saw things in this way and he said this project that he's working on he wants it to be like a feather in his cap meaning like he wants it to be when he looks in the rear view mirror he wants this to be part of his legacy and I've never looked at starting businesses or anything in life from the exit point of view you know when you get into something you're like oh I want to do Jiu-Jitsu M honeymoon phas whatever right so like you're just kind of like
6:51 wandering around aimlessly where does this take me oh this coach tells me to do this whatever but when you've done things so much you know every single thing in the world has a a start and an end so for him he looks at things from a rearview Mir like he hasn't even started yet but he knows how he wants to end it and he knows he wants it to be a legacy thing and I'm like oh that's the difference between like people that take every single brand deal that comes get caught up in YouTube drama get gets caught up in algorithm cuz they don't know what the end game is so they're just kind of like wandering around versus people like GSP or whatever they're like I want to be the greatest of all time so that's it that means me I'm only going to get sponsored by Nike I'm only going to do this so they have like a rock hard foundation and nothing else can sway them so when he said that I was like oh ████ but in order to think
7:41 like that you got to First believe in yourself but believe in yourself in the end product so instead of going like well but the algorithm made me do this it's like think about what your outcome where you want that to be and then reverse engineer your whole career and like after I had that phone call with him I was like dude I think that's what Miss Cura meant like believe in yourself but not just in the beginning but begin uh believe in what you want the outcome to be wow yeah I should I got a quote for that man really good don't just be rock hard have a rock hard Foundation nice that's also good thought that was going to go somewhere else but I'm glad it didn't definitely throwing off don't walk around with a boner there it is flip it up in your waistband be a gentleman right that's that's to fall up
8:31 all right don't walk around with a boner all right so have a mission for your boner about 30 seconds ago I was super inspired have a mission have a place to put that thing yeah that's that's yeah that's also why it's good to continue to have ment in your life you know no for real cuz this cuz these guys I was talking to they're like 50 or 60 so they're like way ahead and when you talk to them they're just like oh ████ it brings so much more like insight into what's going on it's helpful and we get to get his mentors you know talks we his knowledge if they decide to call me once every 5 years you're not always bugging him like Hey cuz I'm sure how do you even get a mentor anyway like what do you do I I'm straight up I'll just ask you have mentors yeah I'll just be like hey can can I text you and be like your annoying brother and then a lot of them are like yeah sure CU they like they like passing
9:22 that stuff yeah for sure for sure yeah so many people don't ask it's it's that it's it's basic like hey do you mind like meet up for like just want to ask a couple questions blah blah blah blah and like you just start and the second you like you realize that you have something to learn you just ask again you ask again three ████ coffee dates down the line you're like oh this is kind of like my mentor yeah you know what I mean it just starts like that I told people no yeah was there a reason why again about 15 seconds ago I was inspired I said ████ from what you know right now do this this and this like read this book probably take this and I told I give him a route and I go then probably but at this moment I don't think it's good for either of us to have this like the the questions aren't set up correctly because you don't even know anything so I'm not going to bring you
10:12 from the very bottom to the certain point you know what I mean it's like have a foundation that's like if I met Elon Musk right now it's like it'll be an entertaining time having a conversation but when it comes to business I'm not at his level to ask the right questions to utilize that relationship yeah in the best way you have to be a certain level of a student to even acquire that type of Mentor that's true I think that's true cuz I don't think I'd be of a good help if cuz I don't think I explain things well in um that phase like I think there's great mentors for like a certain phase like sometimes like from white belt to like I don't know like purple or whatever right you probably have a good maybe a kids instructor someone in the beginner instructor they're really good at that stage and then maybe different stages I don't think I'm actually a very good coach at anything because I don't
11:03 explain things very well but I think I bounce ideas back with people um that understand already I see and they can help figure it out for themselves and some people when they say Mentor they're actually looking for a babysitter which is different that's what I'm talking about the the I'm not here to inspire I don't want to motivate and I can see that in certain people and I'm like you just want me to be your coach that's motivating you saying you can do it and I'm like I don't want that stage I want someone that's like here's the three things that I'm looking for can you like what do you think here's my two options what do you think so it's like a Consulting Mentor somebody who does the work isn't asking you to do the work for them yeah that's if someone's like hey I want to start business what should I do and I'm like okay all right you go Google um and then you go type in how to start business and then there's a thousand ████ articles on how to do
11:54 it don't ask me that you know yeah if I feel like it's a rule of thumb if you're asking me a question that you can easily find out yourself don't ask it's already an now dude yeah yeah well now these days yeah ████ yeah there's so many resources all over Instagram yeah well just open up your Instagram there it is everyone's Instagram looks different though but the the scary thing is everybody on Instagram is also like a teacher and it's like wait a minute not everybody's a teacher or just just right now like during lunch I was talking to a friend of mine who just published an Amazon book and he goes hey I'm interested in starting to do merchandising now can you teach me and I'm like yeah sure cuz it's a different kind of conversation yeah it's completely different from like uh I think about I think I just want to make my own business where do I start like that's a different question way too General yeah it's a very very
12:45 different question so like um yeah but going back to the topic I I hearing your story I realized like I was like damn who is that impactful teacher and I think for most of my life I had such a bad relationship with with me in education so like it's already like from every class I went to I'm like oh they're not going to like me cuz it's like maybe I was disruptive in class I didn't understand how to be a good student so majority of the teachers I've had I don't think they like me and I don't think I enjoyed school but there would be moments and one of them was at keple where I always failed my math classes and this was my um I think it was pre-algebra algebra whatever it was I I forgot her name man she was a Chinese teacher older lady and she was notoriously known to being a really mean
13:37 ████ so I wasn't going to do the work I've already heard this rumor everyone was afraid of her so I would be hella rebellious I don't even know what happened but I just started doing the work I started doing homework I started passing and toward the end of the class she wrote me this long ass letter about like hey my husband is is a banker he's like runs one of the banks if you want an intern when you graduate let me know um you know I think you have potential this and that for business math numbers all this stuff wow and then I joined the gang but like during that time did you think about it at all though when you first got that letter after like 15 seconds ago I was very inspired that's the prom for this Joe is an emotional roller coaster guys but I
14:28 was at it was a stupid time in my life right but I think just reading it was the first time I was like oh ████ like really you really think that I can work at this bank and then you think I have potential and and you're going to recommend me a job a big deal he's going to Mentor me like I was like ████ and I'm like but that's that's whack though I don't yeah like working at a bank like you go into a bank and Sh Square I was like I don't want to I have to wear a suit like I want I don't want a job where I have to wear a suit but now I'm like ████ dude imagine the the mentorship the opportunity like all the stuff that I would have learned if I went that route yeah what's crazy is it does it just start with someone just believing in you for real that's all it
15:18 really starts and then you start like having like it takes time sometimes you still join a gang and you have to do all these other things to get out of your system but but he always goes back to that belief of like damn someone did believe in me at one point yeah that's crazy that's a big thing too uh I think for me one I could think of and I've talked about him too but is uh Joe our Jiu-Jitsu coach at the gym Joe tooro yeah and uh when he came to the gym it was that fight Academy at the time we were all like Fighters and ████ and we were all like oh we're Strikers we're not like we just do Jiu-Jitsu for fun we're not like really into it whatever when he came along he he was able to teach and distill information down in a way where we were like oh ████ we just looked at it so differently you know U and that helped us kind of get into it a little bit more and also too
16:08 like he's just um just such a good coach and he has so much passion when he teaches you that it's almost contagious you can't help but the feel like oh what the ████ I want to learn more about this and that belief part too is like he kind of pulled us to the side and spent a lot of time with us out of like the rest of the guys not like he wasn't coaching anybody else but there was like a few guys like some of the coaches at the now at lionhart um like the main dudes in the main group like you would spend tons of time with us and he that whole idea of he believed in us to be able to Excel and at the time we were like yeah we're not even ████ good at this like whatever we're just ████ around like that was kind of the attitude um but yeah with over time then we started to realize like oh ████ this is we have something special here um and the way he teaches the way he teaches beginners to
16:58 intermed mediates to advance people was uh changes how we looked at coaching and changed a lot for all of us so I think he would be a good example of like of a really good teacher that changed how we looked at all of it you know it's crazy how like great teachers will inspire people to be students or better students oh 100% that could be like defining factor of either somebody starting or never starting at all and then it becomes a thing of like I need to make this do proud he's put so much time and effort into us that we need to make sure this is not for nothing like we have to make something out of this and you know everywhere we went we were just we just followed them and bro like for being a teacher if you think about it well if you were like in LA USD or something right your your classes are jam-packed with like 30 plus students you have also
17:50 kids that probably don't come from the best home situations so they're disruptive they're Knuckleheads you have to be a good babysit and you have to be a good Mentor and you have to control the class and be Stern and you also have to be entertaining because everyone's add as ████ and they won't pay attention to you but all the at the same time you have to also care to the point where they feel like emotional connection where they feel like listen to and all that it's so much like they should just be able to go in there give instruction people receive instruction and then like do it right but there's so much more that they have to do I'm just like bro that's a lot yeah that's that's so much and I I think like man I tormented the ████ out of my teachers but did you guys ever have like those teachers at your school that were
18:40 beloved by like the staff the kids and it was all for those reasons cuz they could wear every single ████ hat not because not because they're necessarily like the most special teachers in the world but like they either have done it long enough to understand that like oh if I want to make my life easier I have to have all those complimentary skills of being being entertaining being fun being patient and being able to like uh deal with the kids that are difficult you know so I think that in is a skill of itself and I think some teachers are just like not about that life they're just there just because H whatever but but yeah but those teachers that are able to transcend all those things and everyone is like I love this ████ teacher you got to get this class like those ████ change lives do you remember that one teacher at keple she was the political science teacher I don't remember ████ she's so she was
19:32 awesome and another teacher named coach Baldwin they're ████ awesome oh Baldwin was cool cuz I remember like so when we went to when we lived in the sgv it was like crazy gang era right like there's drive-bys in front of the schoolz like there's fights all the time it's like a crazy gang era and those two teachers were the ones that really didn't even give a ████ if you were in their class if you just showed up in her class so just let you sit there and hang yes I had a teacher like that too they knew that if not in this class probably get shot so like I'll be like I forgot her name but I'll be like yo I brought four homies in this time and then she'd be like okay that's fine and we just all just sit in the back and that's even better than us hopping the fence Mexican lady the old lady miss coas m coas yeah I had her for um Health Miss she we she was so sick was awesome
20:24 cuz like if you just don't want to go to your class cuz you just have people you don't get along with or whatever you just went to hers and she would just be teaching or telling a story or like you'll watch a movie or whatever and safe Zone let people play cars in the corner just do whatever as long as you're in here safe it was cool that's crazy same teacher at my high school was just a cool all-around teacher people would ditch their classes to go to his class and he'd just be chill enough to be like all right well I la her here yeah yeah yeah cuz what we would do is just hop the fence and leave get in more trouble right hell yeah that's good solution for that teacher though but I do think it wasn't like one person for me now I'm having all these memories of moments from teachers of like giving me praise or
21:14 helping me with self-confidence or whatever and like I remember I saw how many credits I had and I'm like there's no way I'm going to graduate I'm a super super duper senior so I said when can I sign myself out and they said like 16 or 17 so all my my birthday I signed myself out I went to continuation school I went into continuation school and then the teacher there he's like gave me an assessment test spoke to me and he goes what are you doing here like after a month and I'm like what do you mean he goes just take the GED and I'm like doesn't isn't that like worse than a diploma and I'm like shouldn't I work through the diploma here and he goes it doesn't matter whether it's the chps GED ████ actual diploma what matters is your college degree and then from that point he goes look I'll pay for your GED just take it you don't even need to study you know how to do all this stuff and I was intimidated cuz I was like
22:05 ████ if I get a g I'm not going to get into a good college and he goes no no no don't worry about it just crush it in Junior College get the best grades and then transfer to any college you want to go to but then you joined another gang and but it was a good gang the best game seconds not far from the truth D I recently got my G uh GED recently at what at 25 23 let's go baby what made you want to get it you just ████ got it no no my wife she said you stupid go down pretty much in the nicest way she said hey Mane I think you should at least get your GED and I was like why I don't need that ████ she's like I think
22:57 you just need to get it she stared at me the whole time I was like all right I'll think about it then my mom's like yo you need to get your GED if the Green Card guys are going to look at you oh that's right it looks better for it yeah they don't want no dumbass in America and I was like you're right so I went to get my GD at 23 American Career don't you need it anyways to become police officer or no yeah yeah you do that's what it was you know that's why I went back at least you got it bro yo man damn at least you got it it was the easiest ████ though I'm not even going to lie was it it is easy but at 23 I was scared I was like damn bro I don't even know if I know math cuz you haven't taken a test in like ████ hell long I was scared at 17 because I thought the GED was like at the end of high school I'm like how are you going to condense 4 years of learning in one test right and then I was like this is a joke like at the end
23:49 of all this schooling this is all you need to know what was it like to just basic math basic everything basic algebra it's basic be a banker or join a gang gang up to you
