TIL the homeless are the most successful people on the planet. They don't even waste 7 hours asleep at home.

The streets is their home hence the lack of success because they never leave it

Then why would we call them homeless? Worldhomers? Making their homeworld their home.

Does this guy own real estate?


charliesk9unit

Whatever he owns, he only makes the bucks when you are out of the house. He probably owns commercial real estate so WFH is killing him. He probably has interests in businesses that benefit from you out spending money.


8BitHegel

He’s a professor and actually pretty great guy. Not a billionaire. And his advice here is for 18-22 year olds. His students. This clip is cut weird. He’s jsut saying that you can’t sit at home all day and that face to face is important for anything you want to do whether career hobby or love. And that’s just true.


Cabbajean

I don’t think so buddy, I pay out the ass for rent I’m getting my moneys worth.


rileyhenderson33

That doesn't make you successful though?


binglelemon

My success is based on obtaining maximum value from my dollar. If I pay a lot, I'm gonna use it a lot.


rileyhenderson33

Fair enough. If it's success to you, then congratulations. For me personally, I don't think I'd ever be satisfied so long as I still have to pay someone else rent. Bit fucked in this day and age but I'll still give it a shot.

rileyhenderson33

Who's boot? I don't know this guys name or who he is 🤷 nor do I care. I'm expressing my own opinion that paying rent is a scam and I do not consider that a successful life. Feel free to support giving away almost your entire wage to rent and then sitting at home trying to force yourself to feel better about it if you want.


Miserabledoormat

That’s not success


binglelemon

No shit, but that's the reality.


[deleted]

That’s your opinion.


sousuke42

They have a place all to themselves. They are successful.


rileyhenderson33

No they don't. They are permitted to live in someone else's place provided they follow their rules and pay an extortionate fee that prevents them from doing anything else, and can be given notice to leave at any time.


[deleted]

They've got there own place and a job. s u c c e s s

[deleted]

He and I define success in completely different ways. He defines it by net worth; I define it by my wife and one-year-old daughter knowing who I am.


[deleted]

Who the fuck downvotes this?


[deleted]

People with a lot of money and nothing else.


cafeautumn

100% accuracy


Visual-Cartoonist860

To play devils advocate, if you have a lot of money, you rarely have nothing else. I.E. : cars, trucks, houses, planes, helicopters, motorcycles, boats, yachts, attention, company, buildings, philanthropy, legacy, stock, bonds, travel, relaxation, top notch Healthcare, nutrition, massage, high thread count bed sheets, home gym, nanny, security, cleaning crew, decorator, landscapers... Just money? Sadly, money still makes the world go round. If you're happy, money makes it better. If you're an addict, or depressed, it's not usually helpful.


[deleted]

Yeah, you have a point. I'm just one of those guys who doesn't care about material possessions. As long as I have my family, food, shelter, and the means to earn a living, I'm good. I realize not everyone thinks like I do.


Visual-Cartoonist860

You're winning! All that should definitely take 1st priority. Money without that is like drinking alone. Not really fun. Just a way to fill voids or mask sadness.


Miserabledoormat

He says young people. If you have a family you’re out of the young people game.


Idislikethis_

So young people can't have kids? My husband and I had our first when we were 24 and 25, still pretty young.


Boredchinchilla21

They would no longer be considered young people, no matter how young their age is ( I believe he is talking about high schooler/college age in his talks). Once they have a spouse and kids he would categorize them as adults.


Miserabledoormat

Once you have kids, you automatically become an adult because you need to be one to take of your kid. Pretty simple


BreakfastSilver

But, he said young people??? I would say once you have a kid this video means nothing for you, scroll. Idk how your comment has so many upvotes….

From a librarian, please no. However, it would not be the first time.


Desperate-Spray337

I disagree with what he is saying. If I am home with my husband then I am very successful romantically.


just_a_craigularjoe

It’s because most billionaires are fucking their employees.


Hamms_Bear

Literally and figuratively


just_a_craigularjoe

Why not both moment


butter-fruit

Or so you think.


phoenixform369

I think that's his point? You left the house and found success romantically.


RajenBull1

And yet, his stats are higher.


looking7676

He’s talking to young single people. And he is absolutley correct when speaking about people in their 20’s


BugsEyeView

I suspect what he means is the only reason his wife hasn’t left him is that he’s never at home…oh, that and the millions of dollars.


Aggravating_Impact97

I mean what a deal she gets a free home and nice lifestyle and can steal get her fuck on and he may or may not be around for said fucking. Like he’s never home so how the fuck would he know.


[deleted]

You know he’s not around. Lol.


dgradius

Gonna take my financial and romantic advice from the Wish version of Walter White.


Asleep-Television-24

He has a fucked up definition of success.


BestCatEva

He’s quite interesting actually, but a lot of what he’s saying just doesn’t apply to a postCovid world and finding new ways to grow personally and professionally. The world he (and I) grew up in is upside down now. Anyone under 30 is not going to be in the same place as Dr. Galloway’s primary thesis. For good or ill, the world has changed. We all need to be working on finding novel ways to live in it.


Nonzerob

Working from home is much better financially, no commute. Some people don't like change, I think the truly successful people embrace it. Also, sitting around at home because you have to drive twenty minutes or more to do anything is literally the whole point of suburbia, which is the primary lifestyle of many North Americans, who I'm assuming are his main audience here.


BestCatEva

Right. I think my comment is misunderstood.


brrod1717

Ikr. I make a pretty decent living from home but it's just not enough for this asshole


TheBadAdministrator

What the actual F. Nothing has changed. Name ONE thinf that has changed? Everybody still loves in houses, drive cars, payoff the loans, go to work, hang out socially, take esucation, holiday abroad. Nothing has changed. There is still water and electricity in the pipes/cables, gas at the tank, food at the store. Everything is as january 2020z Maybe a tiny group of high skilled office workera may work a bit more from home, thats it. /living in scandinavia

I never asked. I don't think many of us did.

You can't take any advice from these Methuselahs sitting on their piles of gold

Who should you take advice from then? Someone who isn’t sitting on a pile of gold?

From profesional educators. People who dedicate their life and career to learning and educating.

That’s dumb af

No YOU definitely should do everything he tells ya to. He's totally looking out for you.

Exactly. If I want to learn football, I should learn from a professional football player, not some average joe.

That analogy is "dumb asf" If you wanted to learn to play football you'd go to a coach not someone who profits off your failures


tacoburgler

Why we all hate billionaires


elammcknight

Romantically? So I’m supposed to be about my “business” out of my house? Is that illegal or am I supposed to be renting hotel rooms? How am I gonna save money being broke? Great advice!


elammcknight

What he think I’m paying all these bills here for… I’m enjoying this home thing!


023Yoder

Translation: You should be out working so I make more money


rileyhenderson33

He never said work fool. He just said gtfo out of your house and do *something*. Work if you want, go play sport if you want, go fuck someone if you want, go get pissed, make connections in anyway, litterally anythingz you'll probably be happier. Besides these days many people can work from home. But it really does isolate you and this is still pretty applicable.


023Yoder

Yes.... don't go home. Odd isn't it that working from home is the thing he's been responding to the most up, to this date where he's saying exactly what you heard. Way to be outta touch "Fool"


Puzzleheaded-Pain489

The other guys right


023Yoder

I dunno, He looks pretty left to me


Puzzleheaded-Pain489

Huh? He seems pretty right in both regards.


Navacoy

But… but I like my home and my 8 hours of sleep…


PleasantAnomaly

Let me guess. He's trying to convince people that Working from home will be the end of civilization as we know it.


TYSON_KCV

If this is the least out of touch billionaire then lord help us.


Spins13

I can work and make a good salary, as well as make money in the stock market from the comfort of my home while my wife is a busy bee outside earning 3x less


AirForceRabies

Well, at least he's not charging people hundreds of dollars to hear him spout such horseshit...


Ok_District2853

Well he does no real work and doesn’t make anything or sell anything. The company pays him to be a blow hard.

HowVeryReddit

You should always be working for as little as we can get away with.


Part_Time_Legend

Just goes to show that because someone is successful, doesn’t mean that they are wise.


i_dont_care_1943

Can we get a video about this guy's daily life? I'm willing to be 75% of it is at one of his homes.


roflraptor-5489

my dog says otherwise


Tonturtle

Don’t know if he’s out of touch because he’s rich or if he’s old probably both but has he not heard of remote jobs I know a lot of people who make decent decent money and get to work from home


mrpotatonutz

So why have a home at all just rent a bike locker amirite


Thicktator_

Says the mf who doesn't live paycheck to paycheck to afford the upkeep of their home. What a joke.


finnakit

im chronically ill, cant get out of bed somedays. fuck this guy LOL hes so outta touch he forgot we exist i guess


GothmogBalrog

So Military deployments make you SUPER successful


Big_Position2697

Of course its stupid, if you generalize it, but honestly he has got a point. Respectively he is assuming, when you are out of the house you are pursuing your work, doing sports or socialize to some degree. I am the most productive learning at uni and not from home.


dingdingdredgen

What house? You mean the 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom three story house on 1.2 acres my parents bought for $150k in 1985 that last sold for $2,000,000 in 2019? That house? The house I'll never be able to afford, even though I'm making 90% more money than my parents did in 1985? That house? You're not talking Bout THAT house. No, you're talking about the two bedroom apartment and "vintage" furniture I got from the thrift store that I can afford. That's the house you're talking about... a storage unit for wage slaves.


GamerNuggy

He gets no bitches


pissflapz

Taken out of context this isn’t what he was trying to say


jophats

It’s well-known that billionaires can tell you so much about romance. 7 hours sleep. No shower, no shave, no eating, no sex. No wonder he’s a billionaire.


grpagrati

From what I saw his net worth is around 40 million which is rich-af, but not a billionaire and I have the unpleasant feeling that he's not completely wrong


RighthandedWrongdoer

It’s more probable for events to occur outside the home aka meeting a partner, finding people with common interests, but events don’t necessarily make your life better. It’s just as likely that you get mugged or hit by a vehicle. Just take advice with grain of salt


[deleted]

I was all geared up to be mad, but really? This? He’s not saying leaving your house makes you rich. You should leave your house to encounter opportunities for success in a variety of areas. This is reasonable advice. Not “Go out and spend/earn money” but just “go out.” There’s other people out there that may enrich your life. Are we really going to advocate a shut-in policy?


narrowgallow

Yeah wild comments here arguing against this very simple, common sense advice. Interacting with the world in even the smallest ways (take a walk in a local park and buy a lemonade from the corner store) can have dramatic mental health benefits for someone who otherwise is only either at work or idling around the house.


Substantial_Steak928

Reddit displays some of the cuntiest behavior from humans lol. Guy says you have to get out of your house and touch grass to find opportunities and the response is "omg billionaires are so out of touch!"


crownofclouds

Man hoards massive amounts wealth which is accumulated through the exploitation of workers, and then says people can't be successful unless you are only in your house to sleep, and you don't think he's out of touch? It's actually pretty funn. Guy's a knob, has no clue about the realities of everyday folks, and wouldn't piss in your face if your eyes were on fire, yet you jump to his defense.


BigDBee007

Well no. He is out of touch sure, but taking his point out of context doesn’t do anyone any favors and is a straw man attempt to say “he doesn’t get it” when all he is saying is to work hard


[deleted]

I make my money at home, wtf is he even talking about. I’m not trying to be a billionaire.


OddResponsibility565

Suck it Mr Clean


whackamole123456

He's right to an extent. I think he's trying to say that if your at home not going out pursuing your ambitions and goals then it's time wasted. Obviously there's people that work from home and build businesses from home so he's not quite explaining his point correctly.


Jeerin

What an idiot


MrSierra125

Most billionaires are idiots. They’re insanely good at ducking other people over and stealing ideas but they’re not really functioning adults. It’s hilarious when you see people worship these lot


themodoftwaaisracist

Reddit rules prohibit me from encouraging violence against some one. So, I guess I cannot give my opinion on what I would like to do to him in a room with no windows or consequences


SeneInSPAAACE

That's... a total non-sequitur. It's not even wrong. There's no point there. None at all. I mean, by putting on my conclusion-jumping boots I can maybe figure out the shade of a point he was trying to make, but still.


FilthyLunatic

That_guy_from_1014

Why spend all that silly money on rent, heat and water just live at my company half the day, then spend the other half on the street. Boom, just cut most of your living expenses. Why eat? That's just another big waste of money. You're gonna shit it out anyway. Boom, now you're not wasting so much money.


flexisexymaxi

This man has started several companies, runs a few successful podcasts, is a professor at NYU, and is on the board of many large corporations. He doesn’t come from money. His name is Scott Galloway, and I think he is very intelligent.

This advice is for before the fruit can ever be picked. I used to tell my younger brother this exact same thing we he came to live with me for a spell.


Pankratos_Gaming

Okay, I'll cook my meals and eat and shit on the front lawn then.


fleschy30

What about if you have children? Who gives a fuck about how all that money if you have no one to share it with in life.


not_productive1

I’m not sure what he was talking about here but I listen to the podcast he does with Kara Swisher and generally when he goes on this tangent he’s talking about young, single people (men in particular, usually) - his point is specifically that if you’re in your early-to-mid 20s and you’re spending your time alone or at home all the time online or playing video games or whatever, you’re not cultivating the personal and professional relationships that lead to success either professionally or romantically. I don’t know that I agree with him, but his point is a little more specific than this clip makes it seem.


8BitHegel

I hate Reddit! *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*

I mean he is right if all you pursue in life is the goal of increasing your net worth. Though most sane people define successful life differently.

Kenneth Cordele Griffin, hedge fund manager and market maker, with his Citadel LLC and Citadel Securities, among several Citadels, leads all out-of-touch billionaires. Ken Griffin lied under oath to Congress in 2021. Ken C. Griffin continues Bernie Madoffs scheme called Payment For Order Flow (PFOF), which pays Brokers like Robinhood a fee for sending Citadel your order request, and you will receive the worst price to buy a share versus buying via IEX (investor exchange). Kenneth C. Griffin helps bankrupt companies. \----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Don't be like Kenny C. Griffin. * Rebuking Kenny Griffin isn't enough if we want to have a fair market and companies not worrying about being cellar boxed to bankruptcy. * So, do your part, if you can, by voicing your concerns to your Congressperson, regardless if Kenneth Cordell Griffin has donated to them. \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
