First 90 secondsOz Pearlman· Guest0:00
How to convince people and how to win them over is the most important thing in life.
Sam Parr· Host0:03
How did you do that?
Oz Pearlman· Guest0:04
There's skills that have nothing to do with my tricks that allow me to walk into a room, be remembered, engage with people, and create deeper bonds. Those three things are a cheat code in life. But I would say ninety percent of people don't have that. So how do you develop that?
Sam Parr· Host0:20
How do you explain what you do?
Oz Pearlman· Guest0:21
Everyone knows what a magician is. Think of this as a magician of the mind. There are no props. Rather than tell you, "Here, pick a card," you put it back, and I find it.
Sam Parr· Host0:29
So intimidated. You are a horrible herring. Are there any cool crimes that- In today's day and age ... that you could commit?
Oz Pearlman· Guest0:35
So if I was using this to steal your financial information and then use it to potentially steal from you, could I do that? Absolutely. Could I? Absolutely.
Sam Parr· Host0:43
Uh.
Speaker 20:43
I feel like I could rule the world. I know I could be what I want to. Uh. I put my all in it like no days off. On the road less traveled with the truth in my bag. Like- Watch.
Oz Pearlman· Guest0:53
Let's try something really fun. Time for money. This is the perfect example. Let's say, what, what is life about, right? Is it having more zeros in your bank account? My first million, I like the two commas. But where do you spend that money? How do you use it effectively? Here's what you do. You're having a birthday party. We're gonna hypothetically play this out right now. Milestone birthday. Sam, make this up right now. I like spontaneity. How many guests are in the room at your birthday party? Be very specific. How many guests do you see being there? Give me a number.
Sam Parr· Host1:22
Can I tell you?
Oz Pearlman· Guest1:22
Yeah, make it up right now.
Sam Parr· Host1:23
Small. Ten.
Oz Pearlman· Guest1:24
Oh, so it's ten people. Ten people. That's-- And did everyone that you invited attend?
