Jordan Belfort | Full Address and Q&A | Oxford Union 

The audience has not experienced life,and or had to work for a living. What this guys says is gold.I'm in my 60's,had my own business,been through a lot of what he is saying.I wish I knew this stuff when I was in my 20's.

Jordan is spitting beautiful knowledge and this crowd is filled with dead stiffs

Jordan is an amazing speaker. Love his energy.

In case you are like me, who forget to make notes of the 10 commandments JB said... It's here: (1) Thou shall not think things are okay just because things are transparent. * The scene you get into may not be as good as it seems like. * Check your own ethics and integrity by gut (2) Thou shall trust the feeling of your stomach * Listen to that feeling (3) Thou shall commit yourself to fail elegantly * Protect your down side * Spread the risks with others * It's rare to get it right the first time (4) Thou shall commit yourself to succeed wildly * When you get right, understand what's the right moves and process (5) Thou shall know average sucks * Things working well = no change (no pain) * Your own standard leads to passion (6) Thou shall commit thou-self to master specialized skills * JB's method of learning how to write books * Model masters and copy and learn from them * First thing to do: I want to do this, what are the skills I need? Master the craft, become a force of nature. (7) Thou shall not emotionally invested in thou's goals * Goals = side poles, serve for the vision, logically based * Vision = emotionally based * Problem: set goals too low. * Goals show where you want to go (8) Thou shall cut all thee * Do too many things one time * Do give yourself a way out * Go all in, take the risk * Take out options (9) Thou shall not buy into your own BS stories * Most people buy into their BS and get nothing they want! * See things as they are , not worse than they are! * Get honest with yourself: what you know, what you don't know * Get rid of your stories * You are like a GPS: where you are, where you go (vision) (10) Thou shall commit to identify their "WHY" * The secret to become successful * Money won't take you far * What is the deepest level cause to be successful * Get deep * JB: Kids * Never give up * Most people give up too soon JB on money: * money is a solve to problems * money matters * money is single most important things for 1) food 2) shelters 3) health

Soo much energy in the dude!

My GAWD what a dead crowd....painful. Excellent "real world" information regardless if you like him or not.

Honestly what is wrong with this audience, engage the man!

That collar is incredibly irritating

imagine running the most infamous pump and dump scheme in history, only to be invited to give a talk at oxford years later.

Rather believe a man who sincerely admits and corrects his mistakes than one who claims to be perfect.

This crowed will get and indeed have been in the monetary success Jordan has strived for, predominantly under the shadow of their parents. They don't give a damn. They are just there. You are full of energy Jordan Belfort, and the symbol of honesty.

That was a great speach! Thanks Jordan!

Love hearing Jordan talk wish he had a RU-vid channel. These students were like dead fish I would love to hear this guy speak in person.

This guy is so passionate and has so much presence and charisma. Would do very well in Hollywood if he ever made a go of it. A really good speaker. Questions from the audience left something to be desired however. They could for example have asked " what we're you doing and thinking when you were our age (early 20's) ? " What would you do differently if you were to do it all over again "? " Where do you think you got your self belief and confidence from?" Missed opportunities.

This speech is of gold dust! Thanks Jordan

he forgetten his pasts and started new life that's the self confidence this man deserves big salute...

Be grateful you get to hear such a good public speaker and business men only fools would get bored

Delicate snowflakes find reality and the truth offensive in their pampered sheltered little world. Jordan Belfort paid for his crimes, not only that he took the lessons he learned and sharing them with anyone who will listen. #respect

I think one of the reasons that the room is so non-responsive is that his message is not really targeted to them. I have heard his talks before and he usually attracts people who have fallen on hard times or cannot get ahead in life. Here, he speaks to future cabinet members, professors, members the upper class and other successful people in the making. Those guys ARE on track, they HAVE the right story. Thus, they do not really need his advice from their point of view. Another reason is that Oxford encourages critical thinking and many audience members may simply be thinking about and analysing his words. That does not mean they disagree, but they may be busy mulling it over.

Crowd look like they are about to fall asleep

Maybe he made some mishief in the past. However, he is redeeming himself. Every one deserves the oportunity to do so. He was a master salesman and is teaching how to do it honestly. Let him teach one of the best skills every one can learn. He is a master and every one there in that room should feel blessed to have him. I wish I was there myself.

Great speaker, excellent talk. Don't think the audience could appreciate the wisdom in it. Later they will

"Am I allowed to curse? No? Well, fuck it...not like I'm getting paid..." ROOOOFL!!! Jordan is the best.

Inspiring speech man!

The dude has gone full circle, Respect!!

His speech is Gold, and this room has zero energy full of nerd ungrateful wannabe rich Teenagers.

This guy is the only one i would work for as an employee.

Damn that crowd was horrible ! What a shame ! Jordan's speech was so interesting and he's such an entertaining speaker

Audience - "This isn't Leonardo DiCaprio!"

Wrong audience.....too rich to know what hustle means. Great speech Jordan!

My theory for what makes successful ppl is they have the ability to communicate. They're social and make friends and connections. And that's the one thing that makes you successful. That's it.

I think he comes across as actually really smart guy.

This is phenomenal.

This man knows how to give a speech!

this man has done much more than many here, good or bad, he's got that influence talent, he used it to destroy, but he still got it, haters hate, I get it though

excellent speech by jordan he’s striving to do better and is a pure role model for why ethics and integrity are important for future entrepreneurs. yes he did bad things in his past but to make that an argument for not listening to him is stupid. These types of comments are posted by people who don’t believe that people can change and great things can happen in life. Be positive and strive to be successful with ethics and integrity, that’s the message he’s trying to get across.

Absolutley Incredible From Jordan.

Jordan Belfort is every business school should have as their lecturer

Legend he is

Convicted scammer lecturing future political and financial scammers. It's definitely Oxford.

Oxford toffs struggling to realise there is a real world outside the library and it can be pretty rough

I can see how he hooked so many people, and even the most savvy of us probably doubt that we could have resisted his charm in his hay day. It's a shame it wasn't like today where every phone call is recorded or anyone who had those recordings would sell them for a mint.

Jordon Belford legend ♥️♥️

Read the book. Such an amazing life story.

His energy is amazing. Just lights up the room

This guy is fantastic!

big wold of little town, great honesty!

That was awesome.

this was probably one of Jordan's better talks

Finally a good speaker on oxford union

Powerful speach 💪🏾.. And ironically his crimes just pulled back the curtains on what the financial industry was all up to 🤷🏽‍♂️👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿💯👌🏿

If his story can keep one young man or woman from going down the dark path of corruption, then he succeeded. He could save someone years of heartache, shame, humiliation and pain. If Michael Milken can be redeemed, why not Jordan Belfort?

145 people have thumbed down. We have our reasons n have our perspectives though I wonder I’d they know redemption, know a positive vicissitude when they find it. Great talk and in the right place for comprehension...

I got a kick out of him telling students at Oxford not to settle for being average.

What a great speech....

Amazing!

He described the whole thing that how to get out of from average mindedness..that's awesome

This was an Amazing talk with great tips but it was hard to watch it with that audience who looked clueless!

"Who's seen the movie Jerry Maguire", three people raise their hands LOL. The movie isn't even that old wtf. Great speech from Jordan!

These kids will be employEEs, he’s a born employER.

Amazing speach

The most ungrateful and unresponsive audience in the history of these Union talks. What a great man he is, such amazing points.

Guy comes in to talk about the real world and half the kids fall asleep. Should have talked about some abstract theoretical concepts instead. Next time Jordan

Almost every q & a starts with the interview er asking questions. This is the only one I've seen where the guest immediately addressess the audience and tells a story before a single question 😅

Buch of ultra lame questions from ultra lame kids. They have the king of sales in front of them and they waste it.

What we have here is lived wisdom talking to people who expect a medal for losing….because that’s what they got!

He has no barriers!

Would have been awesome if he gave the lecture while on Quaaludes

This guy knows how to speak. Really. He keeps speaking till the end.

For Sales Knowledge go to 44:50. Someone asks about the 'Sell Me this Pen' question to Jordan. Great insight on what JB says.

That guy just had his dream of being a "stockbroker" brought down to earth. There is nothing better than listening to someone who has failed and had learned from it. Not many were as spectacular as his. We can't forgive him for his misdeeds, but we can learn from the realities of life he describes. The most important of his ten messages is to be the best at something or at least as good as you can possibly be. People will pay good money for your wisdom.

Now i know hw he might had pitched the stocks....lol

The guy in the front in the red jacket is late for his shift at McDonald's...

Natural public speaker.

Wow great speech

The look on Jordans face when he asked about that feeling in the stomach . . And said you got problems . . I thought that would have been I mic drop moment . . I pictured him saying Jordan: "If you don't have that, northing I can say or do that will do a thing for you . . I'm out have a good night . .

Wow... His brain is ALIVE and on fire.

Most of the comments below are saying the audience is dead, not so, his manner is too overbearing and they’re not having it. Compare this to Jordan Peterson’s talks and there’s no comparison.

LOL @42:52 When he says "I'm sober now since 1997", look at the girl on the rights face

You can tell that drug addiction is a major problem in society in the UK by the applause given as Jordan stated the length of his sobriety. Who'd think that these prats in the audience would even care to know or acknowledge such realities as most surely have other things on their minds like what kind of tea will be served afterwards and whether they will wear a tie or a silk dress to the mixer later that night. The little shits impressed me. Now only if Jordan added, "inherit all that you can in life from your parents and gain influence by association".

42:54 look at the black girl on right when he says hes sober lol

Had anyone noticed the future millionaire in this landscape? You see all these nerds, all these bored and uninterested kids, with absolutely no passion for entrepreneurship or anything related to business, then comes this guy. At 25:52 you can see a guy, and his AMAZING smile and impression on his face, watching his mentor. He is in the wrong environment. He will thrive through all those.

You Rock luv!

21:00 (around) Give your self no option, no way out, burn the ships.

He physically looks liike a combination of Sylvester Stallone & Frankie Avalon

That's a completely fair comment about climate change. The fact he doesn't believe it doesn't change his attitude towards making the planet a better place. He still has the morality and desire to change how things are and work towards a more sustainable future. He's right in saying why should it matter and I agree with it's what we should be doing anyway, regardless of the reasons why. It's the whole thing of assigning labels, I think. Everyone has to have a label now. Straight, gay, man, woman, believer, non-believer. Everyone wants to belong to something. Sadly, I've seen this divide more than anything else. Petty arguments over topics that don't really matter, in the big scheme of things. We should already be doing it without all of the debate and nonsense attached to it.

You are a lucky one!

He says that prior to his prison-time, he regrets a few things and has since decided to do things "legitimately". He says that he has since made more money than he had ever had before, however surely all of this new-found wealth is off the back of this previous illegal activity? Therefore making none of his new wealth upstanding?

I’d rather be the guy being talked about than one of the crowd doing the talking.

For Oxford students it takes them seconds to think to say just a yes 10:33

A stockbroker is a sales job. What a legend🤗👍

Cringe at the pen question

Guys, it's fine. Oxford is new to Belfort. They take time.

The bloke in the red jacket at the front looked bored out of his brains hahaha

I like to see this a college in an urban area. They would prob be jumping up and down and high fiving him as him was walking back and forth.

I can't stop looking at the collar on his shirt

Alguém legenda essa palestra no português correto por favor!

actually i kinda agree what he says

26:00 was really good

Even his collar is coked up!
