Lewis Howes

Our middle class is shrinking.

More people will go into that category of kings, and more people will go into that category of really suffering.

There will be people who figure it out, but then there's also a group of people who aren't going to be able to figure it out.

Their life is going to get meaningfully worse.

You are going to see people continuously wake up one day in their 40s or 50s and look at themselves in the mirror and be like, what happened?

I am going to sit here and be the first person to tell you it ain't fair.

Life ain't fair.

Some people are born on third base.

Some people are out in the parking lot with the person who is selling those illegal hot dogs that does not have a vendor's license.

But just because our current society is not perfect does not mean that you can lose hope.

I would say...

Yeah, I think one of the scariest things I'm seeing right now is the, and I quote, prediction market.

So you've heard of these brands where basically you can essentially say, I'm going to, and again, quote, big air quotes here, invest in who potentially might win this political election or who might win this basketball game or football game or who might, you know, will this person say this in their live television broadcast?

And

these brands and I see these ads and it pisses me off to no end because they're like, oh, well, these billionaires are investing in the prediction market.

These billionaires are not placing predictions in the prediction market.

They are investing in the brand because this is an old brand.

It is a brand as old as time, frankly, and it's called gambling.

Yes.

Okay.
