00:02:19.000So we know who you are, bro, but the audience might not know.
00:02:21.000Can you introduce yourself to the people?
00:02:23.000I mean, I'm known as basically America's most famous felon.
00:02:26.000Everybody fucking knows when I came out.
00:02:29.000I started posting in Instagram in prison.
00:02:31.000I had, obviously, a lot of people in Florida have cell phones too, so you guys are hip to this shit.
00:02:36.000But in Cali, we got burner phones, and I was posting on Instagram in black and white the whole time I was in the penitentiary.
00:02:42.000I posted from basically like, once we got smartphones, 2014 to when I got out, like 2018, obviously we had fucking the flip phones, little Samsungs before that shit.
00:02:53.000So once we got smartphones, we're like, fuck, I'm going on Instagram, I'm going to start posting some shit.
00:03:00.000I saw it as such a good space to fucking kill it.
00:03:03.000I went to prison for robbery in the first with an enhancement of an inhabited dwelling, so a home invasion robbery, use of a firearm during the commission of the offense.
00:03:16.000So I basically got burglar in the first, robbery in the first, assault, a deadly weapon, and a battery.
00:03:23.000And there was an accomplice present during the commission of the offense.
00:05:08.000And I mean, I flipped that up to being 15 years old, having 10, 20 pounds at a time to where before I went to prison, you know, 19, 18, 19, 20, I went to prison at 24.
00:05:21.000And I was basically making like three, you know, 100 to 300 bucks per pound.
00:05:25.000And then going through the pounds, getting, you know, the extra, because they were growers pounds, I'd put them in a, I'd get like a mailing scale, put a trash can on it, cut the bag open.
00:05:35.000The mailing bags, they're like, British Columbia weed.
00:08:48.000People are just fucking oblivious to all this shit.
00:08:51.000We had burner phones that were like...
00:08:53.000From big ass Canadian suppliers that we would just fucking hold down the button and it would say kill my berry and you just press the button till the phone would just fry itself.
00:15:04.000Why the fuck would you have a robbery in the first with the inhabited dwelling and then a burglary with an accomplice present and then a battery with serious bodily injury and then an assault with a great bodily injury?
00:23:29.000And then I would just still hit my protein intake while tweaking and so I was like ripped and big still like and then And the thing is, I go, I'm on a call, like a video call with my chick and my parents and shit.
00:23:41.000And I'm like, listen, you motherfuckers, like, get me the fuck out of here.
00:23:44.000Go get my fucking money and get me the fuck out.
00:24:42.000That's how I got the scar above my eye, like a big old fucking, I don't know what side it is, but I'm looking at a mirror so it's backwards.
00:25:12.000I thought my actual eyeball was cut and like it was like the vitreous humor leaking out of my eye, like the fluid leaking down my face because I couldn't wipe the fucking blood away quick enough.
00:25:22.000And I'm like, fuck, and I'm still fighting these motherfuckers and they're not really doing nothing.
00:25:26.000A lot of them aren't that strong and shit.
00:25:27.000And the cops come in, they shoot us with a bunch of pepper balls.
00:25:30.000And then I end up in the back, which is the shoe.
00:26:44.000So they're trying to figure out like if I'm good or not because the essay is just trying to jump in.
00:26:47.000I'm like, I ain't fucking going PC. Fuck you, you know?
00:26:50.000You think they would have tried to kill you?
00:26:51.000If they would have put me back to the line before the problem is solved with my people and their people, then yeah, there would have been a fucking issue.
00:26:57.000But these issues don't go into prison from county jail.
00:27:00.000So they held me in ad seg from that first fucking two days in county held me in ad seg for the eight months while I'm doing my trial by my fucking self.
00:27:10.000And I'm facing all this time and I'm in a cell by myself the whole fucking time.
00:27:14.000So that one fight basically kept you segregated for eight months while you were fighting the case.
00:28:03.000But there's, like, all the people who shouldn't be back there, and then the people like me who are GP that are back there who wear a blue band, they're all wearing yellow bands, and you know who everyone is, and you can't talk to the people who are PC, but there'll be people back there who got caught with, like, weed, or they have, like, they took off on cars.
00:28:19.000Real quick for the audience, because we're using a bunch of prison terminology that people might not be able to follow right now.
00:28:25.000SNY is general population, which means you're out there with everybody.
00:28:28.000That's why my channel is GP. I did all my time GP. Even though I had a lot of fucking fucked up shit happen, where that happens to everybody who's doing mad time.
00:28:36.000Shit will happen where it's like, is this guy going to fucking hold strong, or is he going to fucking lock it up?
00:29:30.000They get put there because they won't let them walk the line anymore because they know there's politics against them.
00:29:37.000Even mostly chomos and shit, they won't let them walk the line even if they wanted to.
00:29:44.000They'll put them in PC. They'll die for sure.
00:29:48.000The first thing you do if you find out someone's a chomo is they're going to mark the shit out of their face across their eye right here so that you know the dude's a chomo for life and they're just going to try to kill you.
00:30:47.000I have to fucking guide these motherfuckers, and that's what changed my life, is that Like, for me to get out, I had to keep these guys sober.
00:31:18.000Like I said, just like in county jail, it's the same thing.
00:31:20.000Whites, Pisces, and Southsiders on one side of the day room.
00:31:25.000The other side of the day room is Northerners, others, and Blacks.
00:31:30.000And the thing of why I didn't say Northerners in my county jail, because I'm in San Diego.
00:31:33.000There's no Northerners in San Diego County Jail.
00:31:35.000If there is Northerners in San Diego County jail, they put them in the back because there's just one of them and there's going to be a fucking problem.
00:33:16.000So San Diego is D-I-E-G-O, but we spell it Dago because there's no I or no E in there because we don't fuck with the I-E, which is the Inland Empire.
00:33:33.000So, I mean, it's just, everything is gangland.
00:33:35.000Like, I got 23 on, 23, or 1904 on my shit, 23 on me, and these are, like, letters, and everything is, like, you earn your letters in prison.
00:33:44.000So it says Dago on my stomach, it says 1904 on my knees and on the back of my calves, that means SD. But it's just, it's fucking gangland.
00:33:52.000And people, people just don't understand it.
00:33:56.000And it's better off that way, because then there's, there's no fucking, There's no shit between, like, if they caught some weird shit happening between two dudes, two white guys in prison, they'd be killed.
00:34:08.000There's no, other states have weird ass shit.
00:34:11.000Like, there's some gay shit happening or whatever the fuck, you know?
00:34:19.000You know, there's no, there's no, there's nothing.
00:34:22.000Like people are like, oh yeah, in prison, like they'll say in the comments, like, oh, dude probably took it up the ass so many times or some shit because I'll be walking for, because it's like leg day and I got big legs and they'll try to talk shit like that.
00:34:32.000And it's like, motherfucker, you don't even know what goes on in prison, right?
00:34:35.000There's nothing like that in Cali prison.
00:34:37.000Maybe these other fucking states, but not fucking Cali.
00:34:39.000So, like, Prison Grape, I guess, is not a thing in...
00:35:34.000They're like, you touched a fucking little girl, motherfucker?
00:35:37.000It makes me want to cry thinking about how fucking...
00:35:41.000It's so much fucking just passion these guys have because they're taken away from life.
00:35:47.000And if they hear that you fucking did that to someone's old lady, they're fucking going to slice your head off in front of everybody and laugh about it.
00:35:56.000It's just nothing but props, you know?
00:35:58.000I heard in jail, when you're there, it's so painful.
00:36:05.000Yeah, that's what people don't get out here like...
00:36:07.000You know, people would be in prison and they'd be like trying to write their people on the street and they'd be real intense and they'd be like, I love you so much.
00:38:05.000And I would just carry that with me so much that I could never move forward in life.
00:38:09.000And once I realized all these universal laws and how true they were, then I started to be able to Hold myself accountable to something greater.
00:38:17.000And that was like, that was God, the universe, whatever, whoever you want to say guides us.
00:38:22.000And everyone's like, oh, you find God in prison.
00:38:24.000I never was just like, I have a Jesus tattoo, but I was never like fully just saying it was Jesus or this or that.
00:38:30.000I was just like, there's something bigger.
00:38:48.000If a man is right, his world will be right.
00:38:51.000And that's the one thing that I've just guided myself from since then, you know?
00:38:55.000So, hold on, I want to keep going with the story because we lost track of it real fast and I want the people to kind of see what he had to go through.
00:39:43.000The whole thing was, I just had that water bag, and then these captains and these cops would come in and take my water bag, and I'd just be like, you motherfuckers, I'm gonna fucking kill you if you take my fucking water bag again.
00:39:56.000I remember this one time, I wrote all over my cell all this crazy shit, and then the dude came in and took my water bag, tried to tell me to take it down, and I popped off at the captain so bad, they're like, oh, you're fucked, you know?
00:42:19.000Yeah, that's when you go to reception.
00:42:20.000And you don't leave yourself for the first basically month and a half, two months, while they understand your gang affiliation, who you are and everything.
00:43:11.000You know, and even when you walk into, it was so bad in Donovan in 16 Block, when you walk in, you could choose to go PC or GP. Like, they would tell the dude at the fucking place, like, hey, I got fucking enemy concerns.
00:43:23.000Dude, they would, like, ring a bell even, because they would laugh about it, like the cops would.
00:43:27.000And it was just, that's why I always, some of my videos, like, ding, another bitch, you know, ding, another bitch.
00:43:33.000And it just was such a fucking crazy existence, but 16 block, we go sit in this cell for three weeks.
00:43:40.000They send us over to 17 block, we're in this cell for a month and a half to two months.
00:43:46.000You come out for yards, someone already gets stabbed when you come out to where they lock the cell down again.
00:43:50.000You never really come out of your cells in Cali.
00:43:53.000You had mentioned, I watched one of your videos, and you had mentioned that when you get into the prison system and you're white, the other white guys are watching you, making sure that everything is good because they don't want you to be a liability.
00:44:06.000They kind of got to train you up for the situation.
00:44:09.000When you came in, were other White inmates looking at you guys?
00:44:13.000I was on Swole and people knew I was with the business.
00:44:51.000When did they pull you inside and when did they grab you and tell you the rules of...
00:44:54.000Well, anytime you come to the block, you fish.
00:44:58.000So you don't come out of the cell for a long time and you're making like...
00:45:02.000Can you explain fishing for the audience real quick?
00:45:03.000You'll cut a toothpaste container and you'll leave a little bit in the end of it and you'll get your boxer string for your boxers and you pull all the fuzzy shit out of the top of the boxers and you make a line out of it.
00:45:31.000They pull you in and you put a note on it and you could talk to each other that way or pass shit.
00:45:36.000I mean, people are so good at it, they'll fucking slide their car out, bounce it off the wall, over the railing, down onto the table, and pull something off the fucking table.
00:46:03.000So you'll have your paperwork with all your charges, the codes that you were charged with, and everybody has the codes written down to check their Sally's paperwork.
00:46:12.000If your Sally's bad, you have to stab him.
00:46:15.000Like, you're stuck in the cell with him.
00:46:16.000If you happen to get a chomo as your celly right then, then people are gonna, they're gonna fish you down a knife.
00:46:21.000You're gonna have to stab your own celly.
00:46:29.000Yo, I can imagine him walking in prison like, I'm Kratos.
00:46:33.000Literally when people would like, by the end of my term and I was getting to like level twos and the smaller prisons and these guys come in, they're like scared and shit.
00:51:51.000I'd rather fucking die than come out softer.
00:51:54.000And these motherfuckers come out and they're like, my boy did 10 years.
00:51:58.000I'm like, your boy looked like he got done by his 10 years, motherfucker.
00:52:01.000Look at that fucking sloppy piece of shit.
00:52:04.000I said, I came out looking the way you're supposed to look if you did your 10 years right, motherfucker, with the right mindset, the right physique, the right discipline, and able to help people.
00:52:14.000You're supposed to go through shit in this life to come out better and help people.
00:52:17.000That's our whole goal, is to really fucking change yourself to show other people how to change, because everybody out here is suffering.
00:52:25.000Why the fuck was my dumbass able to come out in five and a half years and kill it this hard online?
00:55:36.000I dropped like a quarter ounce on the ground at some speed and some white.
00:55:40.000And I was looking around everywhere just going, who the fuck picked up my shit?
00:55:43.000And then my bunkie at the time went and told the dude who had the yard that I was kind of fronting on other races about my dope.
00:55:53.000And I went over there and the guy goes, why is your bunkie telling on you?
00:55:58.000My stupid bunkie thought he was telling on me, like, in a good thing, like, Wes is gonna cause a problem!
00:56:03.000And the guy who has his yard's a real fucking G, and he's like, he's just looking at the guy like, you're telling on your bunkie right now to me?
01:02:43.000A lot of people go into all these platitudes and all this grateful talk and shit.
01:02:48.000I don't even want to fucking hear it from a cupcake of a dude.
01:02:51.000Oh, look, another pussy dude talking about, be grateful.
01:02:54.000I don't want to be like you, motherfucker.
01:02:56.000But if I see a bad motherfucker like me, and he could choose to fuck some shit up, and he was a bad motherfucker, he's like, no, no, no.
01:03:03.000You want to be a better guy, it's going to fuck your life up.
01:03:05.000That means more to me than some fucking dude who's munching on granola with Birkenstocks on talking about some flower shit of being fucking grateful.
01:04:57.000If a motherfucker comes to me and he wants to build his brand online and he actually has something of skill, I can teach him how to make millions really fucking easy.
01:05:05.000But I mean, millions as having an online brand is the lowest of the shit.
01:05:51.000I did this, did this, did this, did this.
01:05:53.000I lived the same systemized life every day to where I became so disciplined that all I had to do was pick up another system and beat everybody at it.
01:06:20.000You know, it's like you have to be around people who are really fucking focused on a daily elevation to become the top of your fucking game, you know?
01:06:51.000There's a different DA, different judge, different fucking circumstances.
01:06:55.000Anyone who hasn't been to prison or done real-time and been around that shit and they talk about it, just don't talk about stuff you've never been around.
01:08:21.000You're mentally, physically, and you're just, you have the right habits and you're able to teach what I teach, then I teach you to do it and make a lot of money.
01:08:29.000I mean, I've had people who paid me $7,500 on my three-month course of learning how to build a brand online, and now they make $300,000 a month.
01:08:37.000I mean, I've taught people from everything I've done, I've taught people.
01:09:06.000When I really focus on other people, I'm free from those desires and my desires are met because I'm serving people and I offer a service that helps them back.
01:12:22.000If you don't want to get up at 2.45 and you do, you're training your mind to callous, to not negotiate with the work that needs to be done.
01:12:30.000So if I gave you five difficult tasks every day to do, and you did them every day for 16 years, do you think it would be really hard to do anything else?
01:13:32.000People are like, no, but we're friends with benefits.
01:13:34.000It's like she likes you more than you.
01:13:36.000She's saying it's okay, but she wants you to commit to her because she likes you more than you like her.
01:13:43.000If you fuck with someone's heart like that, you fuck with love like that, you'll never get love because you're fucking with love at the root.
01:16:00.000And I fucking every day have flashes and thoughts of like, I'm going to fucking kill this person.
01:16:05.000But that's my gift, is that I do feel that way and I do restrain it, which builds the strength inside me.
01:16:11.000Whatever you are, whatever desires are being sent to you, that's the strength you're asking for for your next level up.
01:16:17.000So if you have the desires for women, you restrain that desire, that's that strength inside you that'll go towards what you really want to do, your real purpose.
01:16:24.000But those desires are meant for us to just give our energy away.
01:16:28.000And like the whole thing is these are energy leaks.
01:16:31.000The most important, the greatest source we have is our energy.
01:16:34.000Like people think it's time is our greatest resource.
01:16:37.000Why else could we make like a podcast like this that's an hour long and we make more money off it than someone who just has all the time in the world to work?
01:16:45.000You know, it's there's more energy condensed here working on more people at a time.
01:16:48.000And that's the whole premise behind the internet.
01:16:56.000And I want to kind of go from like the day you get out, what you did that day, and then building the empire that you built over the past five years, obviously.
01:17:03.000So, I started posting online because I saw like...
01:17:06.000And real quick, let's go just to YouTube and Rumble, guys.
01:17:09.000So, we're going to kill the Facebook stream, the Twitch stream.
01:17:10.000You guys are going to see the come up now.
01:17:13.000So, the day you got out, what was that like?
01:18:26.000Because I told them how before I had Range Rover and shit, I would show them my paperwork that said a Range Rover with 18 pounds in the trunk.
01:18:31.000These guys didn't even know what a Range Rover was.
01:20:32.000And with my grandma and my parents, I live in the same room as my parents.
01:20:35.000A twin bed and they have a queen bed in the same fucking room.
01:20:38.000I'm And real quick, I want to say this for the audience out there.
01:20:40.000I don't want to hear no fucking excuses because this guy comes out of prison after 10 years and he figures it out five years later, making millions of dollars.
01:20:46.000So I want you guys to pay attention here.
01:21:06.000I would come back to my phone after I had the essays put it up or my homies sit on it and there'd be 15 comments and 5 messages and I'm like, people love me, hell yeah!
01:21:14.000I just wanted to be seen and attention and love.
01:21:18.000So I did it out of the most righteous fashion.
01:21:20.000I just wanted Like fucking to connect with people.
01:21:24.000The reason the fucking internet was supposed to be.
01:21:26.000And then, um, so what I do, what I ended up doing, I had the 200 bucks and I found an app and I'm like, oh, I can put people's nutrition and training on here.
01:21:34.000And I'm just showing my workouts online and I'm making like 300 to 800 to like 3000 a month by getting random clients offline to train them for $250 a month.
