Adin Live - The Old Adin Ross

00:00:00.000 but we'll talk about everything i mean i i praise this a lot as you guys know like

00:00:09.180 this is the only person who like truly believed in me from the beginning i remember you got me

00:00:13.760 the high speed internet you always bought me the new game you always let me stay home from school 0.98

00:00:16.520 when the new game came out you just always believed in my shit for video games always 0.94

00:00:21.420 like you always just like it's just crazy you always just believed in me why how like usually 0.98

00:00:28.320 like every other parent would just call you crazy why did you kind of believe in me i mean i had my

00:00:32.860 moments of like doubt which were just like you know very fleeting but the way you spoke about it

00:00:38.920 was as if you read a book and you were telling me all about the book you read that is how you

00:00:43.460 described your future in streaming to me and so it just struck me as what choice did i have but to

00:00:50.820 you know but to support you yeah in doing that i really didn't feel i had any choice and uh

00:00:56.740 drove me a little crazy at the beginning with the yelling and screaming and the neighbors i had

00:01:00.380 to fight with um i didn't i didn't tell you half the stories of the some of the fights i got into

00:01:06.020 in the neighborhood what happened oh just from the yelling and the you know the whole house would

00:01:10.380 shake sometimes and the windows would shake and i don't think you had very good windows on that list

00:01:15.040 no i didn't they were unscrewed and like yeah so you know my neighbors threatened to call the cops a

00:01:20.840 lot one time i had to deal with the sheriff one time thought i was beating my wife and i said

00:01:25.280 absolutely not that sound is not the sound of a man beating his wife that is the sound of a happy

00:01:30.040 young 16 year old boy who's streaming that's crazy i didn't know you i didn't even know that

00:01:36.360 yeah and then uh when we first moved into this place i forgot what happened something tipped me

00:01:44.300 off that all the neighbors were going to come after me with pitchforks and like i remember that you had

00:01:47.860 to board everything up and all that stuff i went to home depot i boarded everything up and it turned out

00:01:52.360 it was a false alarm like the neighbor just wanted to give me like a welcome basket or something like

00:01:55.860 that yeah but anyway all that aside um i you know i've been in business a long time thank you aiden's

00:02:02.560 dad for raising such a good son he also raises me winking face what does that mean i don't know i'm

00:02:09.380 gonna mute the tts but that's gonna be later on like where we can put on texas beach so people

00:02:12.760 can donate money and talk it's cool yeah it's really cool um no yeah i think it's just it's crazy like

00:02:21.220 to see like how everything planned out like you said i really didn't know i was gonna make it and

00:02:24.960 i made videos to myself and i explained it and i broke it down to you how to kind of how i was

00:02:28.840 gonna make it but the wild thing to me is just like you were the one person who just like okay let's

00:02:34.400 my dad uh at that time you know like i remember you had to try like different credit cards yeah that

00:02:40.620 was that right when you were about to take off is when i hit a real rough patch in his life yeah i was

00:02:45.540 in between jobs and i remember there was this new high-speed internet that came to our town that

00:02:50.180 you wanted to try it and it was like they wanted you to pay 600 dollars but let's but let's go back

00:02:54.280 for a little bit sure do you remember like literally in eighth ninth grade i wanted to stream do you

00:02:58.160 remember that or no of course the internet was just too bad like i wanted to stream as a freshman in high

00:03:02.240 school yes and um i couldn't do it because the internet so senior year comes along the high-speed

00:03:07.840 internet you're obviously your pockets are hurting right now because you're going in and out of jobs

00:03:12.340 you tried three different cards they all declined until like last one finally worked we got approved

00:03:16.880 we got the internet like a month like later and then i just took it so seriously i literally was

00:03:23.920 like all right i'm doing this i'm doing that you know i i gotta i got a job and i got like some other

00:03:29.400 equipments and stuff and you just helped me pay for the internet and then i just really took over

00:03:33.720 like i i really remember that you were excited i think your upload speed was what 1.2 yeah but that was

00:03:40.080 just enough right right the 1.2 upload speed was just enough to do it i found a way to do it

00:03:45.060 shitty quality and then we slowly upgraded it and then it slowly upgraded and then i could make

00:03:49.120 decent content then i would pull 12 hour streams and we would constantly have internet problems and

00:03:53.180 just back and forth and we would lose pieces and all this crazy stuff and power would go out oh yeah

00:03:58.640 the place we were at just powers would go out like the internet would just have issues we'd have to get

00:04:02.960 an internet guy over all the time i'd like six different modems i'd keep swapping out um the point is

00:04:08.040 there's no excuse you guys can make when you're coming up i was i had one gigabyte of uploads one

00:04:13.660 megabyte of upload speed mgs of upload speed and i still made it happen you know there's a way to do

00:04:19.200 it but um i was so dedicated back then and um it was crazy like you just watched me do it i remember

00:04:25.760 there was a time where i drove you three and a half hours to los angeles yes we got the game that you

00:04:31.760 needed to get we go back we got a soda and we drove three and a half hours eight hours in the car

00:04:36.420 no data would do that just uh just so you can have that game early right like two days early yeah

00:04:41.840 he got me 2k 15 early i remember nba 2k 15 early a few days early because we la obviously gets copies

00:04:48.800 first you know we were in a town that's obviously not la a few hours away you literally did that

00:04:53.440 three hour drive back and forth just to get me my game i was drinking the same kool-aid you were

00:04:58.320 drinking i mean i was you know you had me believing and uh so i was i was behind you 100 but i i also have

00:05:04.600 to admit i never dreamt that you'd reach this level this fast yeah it was quick it was really

00:05:10.000 fast and um you know it's just it's crazy to me like how how fucking like quick it was yeah literally 0.91

00:05:17.680 how quick it is and now i was just in high school two years ago yeah it seems like yesterday i was

00:05:22.720 asking if you do it you got all your homework done you know i know that's so so fast that's crazy but

00:05:29.180 it just i don't know like it's just i don't know so now you're like superman right so you're gonna

00:05:34.800 use your powers for good evil fun bad you know i know you're gonna use your powers for good i know

00:05:40.220 no 100 i think that uh it comes with a lot though there's a lot of responsibility now there's a lot

00:05:45.400 of people's lives that obviously are intact with mine um there's a lot of negativity now like i'm not

00:05:52.020 used to a lot of hate i get a lot of hate now i get a lot of controversy people don't all like me

00:05:55.960 like i used to you know that everyone who watches me likes me you know now people hate me and people

00:06:00.380 try to like discourage me some people watch you because they enjoy hating you i think people watch

00:06:04.500 because they're so miserable with their lives right and they're so jealous for example like

00:06:08.240 people would probably hate on this because they don't even have like a dad who believed who believed

00:06:13.680 in them instead of maybe just like being like damn like look how like you know like appreciative and 0.97

00:06:18.720 shit like some dads can be like i guarantee a lot of people in this chat are just so miserable with 0.98

00:06:23.140 their lives and you know they just don't know what to do but they take it out on me if that makes 0.99

00:06:27.560 sense well have you has any of these miserable lives people ever like turned around and like gone

00:06:32.240 the other direction so that's funny you said that like i've i've one time took taken you know uh i've

00:06:37.380 one time slid in people's dms and i would be like you know um like hey you know why are you saying

00:06:43.280 you know that type of thing to me and they were like oh my god i just want to get a reaction out of

00:06:47.200 you i love you you know um so it's ball busting sometimes it's just 100 and not everybody's

00:06:53.220 miserable like the people that love me and that are always you know just spreading positivity towards

00:06:57.420 my streams and stuff they're they're they're good people you know because they don't they don't have

00:07:02.200 to latch on their pain onto other stuff like that's just how it is it's like i don't i'm not looked at

00:07:07.360 as a human being by a lot of people i'm looked at kind of like as like a robot now like i'm looked at 0.97

00:07:11.040 as somebody when he's not streaming let's yell at him let's throw fucking uh tomatoes at him and 0.99

00:07:16.060 stuff and uh all this stuff you know but my my biggest uh thing is is i'm not just a streamer 0.80

00:07:21.580 at this point i want to i want to find a way to kind of pave a wave and get into other industries and

00:07:27.300 eventually acting you already know i want to get into boxing just all sorts of stuff i have this

00:07:31.960 vision of you and i don't know if i'm wrong or right because wishful thinking that you also can

00:07:36.360 pave the way for other people that have talent to you know get on the same path and you save them

00:07:42.900 years in time to get on that path 100 and it just all it takes is there's so many people out

00:07:48.320 there with talent for example um i really want you to start streaming and doing your stuff i feel

00:07:54.040 like you'd be a great streamer like like just like is that an earthquake or is that your foot

00:07:58.120 it's my foot tapping because i'm excited oh but um you know what i mean like i just i think there's

00:08:04.400 a way to find unrecognizable talent like you know i want to find a way to do that and just put

00:08:09.100 people on and help people as much as i possibly can i think that i've changed a lot of people's

00:08:12.940 lives and i just want to continue to do that and uh it's just awesome when you know when people have

00:08:17.700 this power a lot of people do bad things with it but i'm the one that you know i want to do nothing

00:08:22.340 but good things with my my my uh my brand and stuff so yeah i think it'll pick up momentum i think

00:08:28.860 the more people that you're able to bring into the limelight and to launch their own careers i think

00:08:34.920 the more momentum it'll pick it's like a snowball going down a hill and you know what i'm talking

00:08:38.920 about when you roll a snowball down hill it gets bigger and bigger and bigger 100 yeah before before

00:08:43.160 you know you have a giant wake and like like this is your army almost it's like an army it's like an

00:08:49.940 army but but what how come everybody who watches me doesn't like me that's the only thing that trips

00:08:54.200 me out still why do you think um well it's a combination there's never one black and white answer

00:08:59.620 for any specific question you know there's always it's always a mixture so i i've got to say it could

00:09:06.040 be a little bit of envy jealousy yes could be a little envy could be a little jealousy could be 0.79

00:09:11.220 like you said before people just trying to have fun and break your balls and don't really hate you

00:09:15.520 um and then it could be some people just thrive on negativity i just i just sometimes wish i was kind

00:09:22.380 of like i hate saying this because it sounds so ungrateful but sometimes i wish i was kind of like

00:09:27.820 smaller so i could appreciate my come up more like i didn't appreciate me coming up more i was

00:09:33.480 so sophisticated on numbers and growth when i was just really like a year ago having so fun in that

00:09:38.580 little apartment playing my video game you know what i mean like i don't know like that was everything

00:09:43.040 to me i think i know what you're talking about um when i had a big company at one time and i had 50

00:09:48.040 employees and things were going along great and five years passed i lost all my employees all my

00:09:53.660 partners and i was the only one there and every day i came into work considering i was just

00:09:57.720 going to shut the office down but i stuck it out and stuck it out and i built it from zero back up

00:10:02.760 to a big company again and i enjoyed rebuilding so you could constantly be rebuilding other things

00:10:08.840 and you know yeah so you'd be that small fish in the big pond not always the big fish in the

00:10:13.800 little pond yeah you have a lot of great ideas so you know i i think that's a way to have that

00:10:19.820 best of both worlds you're right you're right you know it's like a shark you got to keep swimming

00:10:24.400 or you die so um what would you say is the next big challenge for you out there where you would

00:10:30.160 feel like you're starting from you know scratch again you know it's crazy i think boxing is okay

00:10:35.760 i think just getting into like reworking my my physique my body you know getting into healthy

00:10:39.920 because health is number one you know so i think just even whether it's boxing or not whether it's

00:10:44.520 boxing shit is real or not me just getting my body right in general it's just like that right there 0.77

00:10:51.120 is going to make me healthier and more happy you know just waking up knowing i'm you know i have 0.98

00:10:55.380 muscles and i have a cardio and i'm in shape and stuff so there's a lot to be said i don't know if

00:11:02.020 any of your people read any eastern philosophy teachings but there's three centers in your body

00:11:06.260 there's your intellect there's your emotional and there's your physical and if all three are doing

00:11:11.360 are doing work at one time that's how you really you know you get to feel everything right so it's

00:11:16.980 mental you know emotional and physical and you apply all three with boxing would be perfect but

00:11:22.440 another thing is that is like like now it's i like the way you're saying i like that but but now i'm so

00:11:29.220 mentally drained because i'm constantly like like my life it's not like i'm not living my life for me

00:11:35.500 anymore i'm like i'm like living my life for other people like completely i'm so drained and i'm so like

00:11:42.120 like i'm so drained like i don't even talk to you every day i love to talk to you every day i'd love

00:11:47.640 to be able to talk to mom call her up i love to be able to talk to my aunts grandmothers all that

00:11:51.960 stuff but i i'm so mentally out of it now you know um with everything going on that like i want to just

00:11:59.160 focus and i don't know because you're not i've been giving you this advice since day one you have to

00:12:04.120 recharge your batteries you have to find your own cathedral you have to find a place where you go

00:12:08.900 where you can recharge yourself this way you know when you get back into the streaming whether it's

00:12:14.320 the next day or two days later you're fresh yeah and your mind has had a chance to meditate and just

00:12:19.600 decompress so you don't do that no i don't you you're burning the candle at both ends like this is a

00:12:24.960 candle you're burning it here here and you're lighting the candle in the middle right and it's

00:12:28.720 just going to burn out instantly hey dad what do you uh what do you say to uh kids that want to follow

00:12:34.040 their dreams and passion but they're maybe they're their parents aren't like you where you're so like

00:12:38.280 believing in the beginning and stuff persistence um sincerity i mean this is what i read from you

00:12:45.320 these are the vibes that you gave me that there wasn't there was going to be no stopping you so

00:12:49.480 it's like why should i make your life harder you know it'd be a drag when i knew there was no stopping

00:12:54.900 you so i saw the passion so definitely passion and devotion um there's nothing to me anyway there's

00:13:01.100 nothing more wonderful um in business and in life than meeting people that are extremely devoted to

00:13:07.000 whatever it is they're devoted to whether it's religion whether it's reading whether it's

00:13:11.100 streaming whatever it is there's nothing like devotion nothing can break through devotion

00:13:16.040 right so it's for these young people that are having difficulties with their teachers or with

00:13:20.840 their parents not saying not not not saying this is an open path for you they just got to make it so

00:13:27.380 clear that there's nothing that's going to stop them so they could either join you and help you

00:13:32.200 or just get the hell out of my way kind of an attitude but i realize when you're dealing with

00:13:36.660 younger people with parents they have to be respectful to their parents so find a way to be

00:13:41.540 firm but respectful but so devoted like aiden i've never met a more devoted man than you

00:13:47.160 to to to your business to your streaming so devoted didn't matter if there was if the roof flew off the

00:13:53.520 house and there was no electricity you know you would pedal a bicycle and hook it up to the wires and

00:13:58.720 make that generate the electricity yeah yeah i mean that's how devoted so definitely number one is

00:14:02.840 devotion and sincerity and and and and results um to be able to show tangible results because

00:14:10.640 a journey of a thousand miles starts with one small step so you put enough small little steps

00:14:17.160 together and eventually you'll you know you'll you'll definitely get somewhere so they've got to be

00:14:21.800 able to not only be devoted but to be able to demonstrate that they are making headway what they're doing

00:14:26.460 so you so you think that measurable you genuinely believe that anybody in this chat right now can do

00:14:32.280 it i believe that a high percentage of the people in this chat that are extremely devoted and amped up

00:14:39.880 to do this can can find some success they've got to find their niche thing is too not to be too afraid

00:14:46.480 of how am i going to find exactly what my niche is because that all happens naturally yeah everyone's

00:14:52.140 trust the process everyone's going to find their own exactly purpose eventually it just comes to you

00:14:57.020 so how come it comes to some people sooner like myself you think that's a tough question for me

00:15:03.240 to answer why you know happens at different speeds is it just is just chance or what maybe part of it is

00:15:09.200 luck like when i was highly successful in business at times i never felt like it was all because of me

00:15:14.760 i also felt it was because of timing you know the timing was right and i met this one person that led me to

00:15:19.780 this that led me to that and before you knew it everything opened up for me and then there were

00:15:24.560 times no matter how hard i tried it didn't make a difference there were no doors were going to open

00:15:28.380 so timing has a lot to do with everything in life got it
