Hey, it's Kevin and uh, it's been a while and we have an announcement to make. Yeah, it's a special announcement. so Kevin's going to be gone until Monday because I need to help with something. Yeah, and uh, I'll be back on Monday We'll still have our course member live streams as scheduled, but I won't be hosting for a few days because of.

well, two reasons. Number one: I promised I'd help Lauren with the family because we're expecting a baby I'm not the pregnant one though, that's a story. Yeah, there's a story to that. Uh, we'll get into that.

but quick reminder it is May 10th Which means the prices on those programs below lifetime access best price guarantee 120 price increase for the AI productivity course going live June 1. all those price increases are happening uh soon after this video posts. So we're changing the pricing soon after this video post. So go to the website link down below.

Once the coupon's gone, it's too late. But until then you can check out email us for bundles at Kevin.com We are scheduling the price increase change uh for a late tonight early tomorrow morning. so make sure you check out before that coupon is gone. But yeah, let's share a little bit more detail because we're expecting a baby and um, you're not pregnant I'm not pregnant.

No, we tried for a while a really long time So the background story is that we are thinking about having a baby probably I don't know because it's too emotional. Oh no, he's on the floor literally. Um, we had been wanting to have another baby since before the pandemic and we actually had started talking about how we needed to, uh, go to the fertility clinic because that's how I conceived my first two. Um, we're like, let's you know, do this.

But then the pandemic hit and we're like, okay, first of all, the fertility clinics were closed. Second, uh, we're like I don't know or we don't know if it's a good idea IDE idea right now to try to get pregnant like the covet thing was so new and unknown. So we're like, okay, let's put a halt to that. you just want to hear the video.

Okay, keep going. No, you're good. Max Okay, we'll make sure you get deleted anyway. Uh, so we put a halt on that and we had been trying to, you know, do it without the fertility help while the clinic was closed and everything like that.

Then once it opened up again, we did a few rounds of IVF and I got my eggs extracted because other routes that had worked prior were no longer working. So we're like we got to be more aggressive. Um, we had a lot of failures. Just put it that way to not.

you know, have so many details, but a lot of failures that basically wasn't my fault. No, it wasn't his fault. Um, it's not my fault either. We tried the power up stars, um but ultimately we decided that, uh, we needed to be really, really aggressive.

That's literally a quote from our way nature works sometimes Our doctor said we had to be super aggressive if we wanted a baby and so we thought, okay, let's let's get really aggressive and we decided to go down the surrogacy route and we found an amazing surrogate that I couldn't be more happy with. And she is pregnant and we have uh, some ultrasound pictures which we'll put up on screen here and we what we're hoping is that people can check out the ultrasound picture here and guess the gender and as well as maybe leave some suggested names uh down below we're pretty excited and we'll uh, you know, I think uh, maybe uh in a week or two when once we're uh, you know, ready to reveal gender, um we'll we'll do so. what do you think? So with IVF uh and every egg retrieval? We do know a lot about every individual the baby that we are expecting. We know a lot about it.

so we do know the gender. We know a lot of background for, uh, chromosomal, uh, issues or lack thereof things like that, which is super cool. That's a huge perk with IVF and yeah, I guess so do you still have to do that like um, amniocentesis or whatever it's called at 18 weeks where they they stick that long beads? That's only if you if you're determined through through blood work or whatever whatever that there is a reason to do that. Oh, like an abnormality.

Yeah, you don't do that. Just like. but you wouldn't do that because now with IVF and basically like a science, uh, you already know you don't have those sort of abnormalities chromosomally speaking Yeah So like we would know that uh, our, uh, all of our embryos or whatever that were made don't have Down syndrome or the ones obviously that would be transferred we wouldn't put any chromosomally abnormal ones into. okay, you gotta stop shooting man.

So uh I guess the question then is uh, is this actually your baby? Are you actually the mom? Yeah so that actually was a funny discussion which I know there's a language language barrier with your dad but he was a little confused at first about like how you maybe needed to go over to this surrogate where she lives and like get the job done. even though that's that's not it at all. These are completely mine and Kevin's kids that are in the freezer and the one that is in the surrogate. so they're Patriot dish babies.

they are so they are both our genes that were yeah, made in a piano. Uh yeah. but it is really interesting because we've never been down there before. We used to do just uh, fertility like meds or whatever for the two babies that we have now Max and Jack uh I Actually really realized after our years-long struggle that what I had to go through with Jack and Max to conceive was relatively pretty easy and painless.

And it was just a really big slap in the face when it no longer worked. Like bluntly speaking, my doctor told me like I don't know why, but you are literally not reacting to the medications that completely worked before clearly with Jack and Max So it just kind of twirled us around in our world and we're like, okay, we have to reevaluate. and because we want an army of children and we, we want to provide a great, an awesome life for the children. and we, uh, well.

I mean if you can't have more because all of a sudden the medicine that used to work isn't working anymore, you know, change. Gotta try something different. You gotta flip-flop on the medicine. So we flip-flopped on medicine and knock on wood.

This seems to be working now, which is really exciting. We're already almost first past the first trimester, which is the scary one, right? Uh yeah, yeah. So in I think a couple weeks, what Are we at 11. we're at like 11 and a half.

Wow, that's really cool. Yeah. so um, that's uh. that's the update here.

We'll have some more meat x uh. fill in, fill in the blank uh. children? Uh, at some point. uh, hopefully many, uh many in the future.

But uh I will start here Yeah, I Would like to. actually really both genders because we're not revealing the gender right now. but I would love to see name recommendations. um I mean you can see that we like simple names like Jack and Max Um, that's true.

We could use chat GPT we could have a chat GPT baby. You know. By the way, there's also a cool thing for finance folks. if you invest in an HSA which actually I think I have a sponsor if you go to Metcaven.com HSA it's the HSA uh Lively health insurance plan that we use.

Uh well, it's a health savings account and we actually funded it back when we had a high deductible Health Plan when we were younger. and what's cool about that is they actually let you, uh, tax free spend money from that HSA account on surrogacy or fertility. So what I did in like 2016 is I put like six grand into Tesla for each of us and that's worth like 100k each now. Which now we get attacked.

Well then we got a tax deduction for contributing and now we can take that money out tax free and use it for surrogacy. So it's like a double triple tax benefit. It's like mind-blowing because ordinarily you'd have to earn money, then pay taxes and then what's left. you pay for surrogacy.

So the fact that we could use an HSA is a godsend. you could grow that. I mean look into the rules of an HSA even though I'm a financial advisor I'm not an expert on Hsas I Just know this is awesome. So study that yourself.

Go to Metcaven.com HSA A paid sponsor? Yes! but hey I figured this is a very appropriate video because it's literally what we did. you know? So um anyway yeah, thank you so much for watching this. Please share some name suggestions. This is very exciting but also kind of nerve-wracking because we are also not with the baby right now.

which is weird because it's like we see an ultrasound of a kicking baby in a heartbeat. but we we have not ourselves heard it yet and it's kind of like I I wish it were right here like like the prior to and I know you do too. uh if if we could we would have but this was either no baby or surrogate and so we chose baby and hopefully uh that's understandable. Yeah, thanks for watching and uh check out the links down below HSA and then also of course coupon expiration link down below.

Massive price increase and I will be back on Monday for course members I will be here uh for a Thursday and Friday and then our Elite Hustlers AI group on Saturday Thanks so much we'll see you on the next one and please leave some comments encouraging. Meet: Lauren to post again. What are you gonna post again I don't know maybe if a baby comes I'll have some content Cliffhanger We'll see you soon. Bye now I Want you to know this when it comes to AI time is what's going to make you money, and if you can prove that value to an employer, you'll always be able to be employed.

So this is another way of making sure that you don't get replaced.
