Tommy Chong helped Jordan Belford write his book by insulting him and making him write it. He said that the book was like a copy of Tom Wolfe's "Bonfire of the Vanities" and that Belford hadn't written anything yet, so he told him to write what he knew and the stories he had been telling him every night. Belford was mad at Chong for a month after that, but eventually, he wrote the book.

The Megyn Kelly Show

The book was recommended as a potential resource for Ray, as his story shares similarities with Jordan Belfort's past experiences of using his talents for both good and bad, and his eventual shift to the 'straight and narrow'.

You should definitely read his stuff and watch some of his podcasts because there's probably some gold for you to mine, too.

It was discussed how the book and subsequent movie were glamorous and entertaining, but Belfort did not want others to emulate his past life choices.

"

And he is none other than number one sales trainer in the world, the best selling author of the iconic book and of course movie, The Wolf of Wall Street and the new host of The Wolf's Den podcast, which I highly recommend you check out.

And you in that interview, in the most humble, nice way, were talking about how you didn't want other people to go ahead and do the same.

And I actually did a talk which was based on The Wolf of Wall Street at a university in London at the London School of Economics.

And the problem is, is when you try to take something and you say, oh, it's glamorized, you know, and didn't blame Marty Scorsese. I think it takes away because I think there's a lot to learn. And as I said, I don't want people living that life.

I think most people get it. I really I think the vast majority say, wow, I love some of the stuff, the camaraderie. I love the money he made, the entrepreneurial spirit, right.
