Do you want to become this kind of a person?
Ethics aside, does he even have the lifestyle you want? Consider that this guy spent an hour talking to you at Starbucks. Do you want to be there 15 years later? Spending 1 hour on a potential downstream member with no current skills and no idea about business — does it exactly sound like fastlane?
You feel relationship has potential because you are happy that someone semi-normal took an interest in you. You have not connected with that guy — he used manipulation tactics on you. You don't have to listen, that's fine. Just don't give them the money of your parents, okay? Don't sell your apartment or your car or whatever you have. My suggestion is, don't put any of your current savings in, because this is exactly this guy's business model. Your loss is his gain. If in the end you just lose some $5-10k and a couple years of your life, that may be a fair price to pay for some life lessons.
How to tell him — you can just text that you are sorry, but you've changed your mind. Then don't meet with him, don't pick up the phone, don't respond to emails. Don't — or he will likely convince you. (Though again, it may be a lesson that you need!)
