00:01:35.920I'm Mimi Brown, and every day on Front Page Podcast, I help you make sense of the stories shaping our world.
00:01:42.140Each day, I break down the biggest headlines.
00:01:44.980Canada's trade fight with the U.S. just escalated again, and Americans could fill it in their wallets.
00:01:50.380And when a story deserves a deeper conversation, I'll sit down with experts, newsmakers, and thought leaders to help you better understand the issue behind the headlines.
00:01:59.840Listen to Front Page from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
00:02:07.160Am I defending James Charles? Absolutely not. Absolutely not.
00:02:11.580And please, don't just clip the thing I said before, you fuckheads.0.99
00:15:47.200Right now, I'm going to be honest, 24-year-old Logan Paul still has a little bit of angst in his system that he has not yet gotten rid of that.
00:15:54.980I mean, don't blame you for what you've gone through.
00:15:57.600So it's not like we're talking as if it's easier, us being in our position.
00:16:02.740But as a team, that's why it's dope that you're listening and you didn't do something like that.
00:16:09.060Because ultimately, when you listen to the people around you and make those moves, you're just going to position yourself for that growth.
00:16:17.200i'm just dying to tell you i have to say something say i'm very proud of you for not
00:16:22.520posting it for being the bigger person taking the high road and listening to the people around you
00:16:28.500facts thanks ma it was it was it was so hard to do and what i what i came to the conclusion of uh
00:16:37.180with jeff was i'm so not used to conforming you know what i'm saying in fact that's my literally
00:16:44.140my entire brand is like yo how can i be different and think outside the box uh and be a maverick
00:16:49.660and i'm so not used to having to buckle down and bow down and be defeated and in this case i i felt
00:16:57.080that was me kneeling yeah but to my high road my point before just just really quick just hit it
00:17:04.240one more time is one take it from somebody who's 34 you're 24 there is no greater gift in this life0.97
00:17:11.340than like i said before karma handling your shit for you you didn't have to do anything you didn't0.96
00:17:16.100bow down you didn't fall you didn't lose you're standing over the person as they've been knocked0.91
00:17:21.740down by their own doing but but and and furthermore the reason i didn't want you to post it and why i
00:17:27.040flipped finally in the end was i thought of all the times people have gotten in fights in life
00:17:32.580and they wanted one last kick while the person was down and that kick killed the person and then
00:17:38.060that person went to prison for life the person was already down the fight was one you're already
00:17:42.460you already won he lost two point whatever million subscribers you gain subscribers after
00:17:47.600you've got nothing but a better person a better version of yourself since Tokyo happened if you
00:17:52.960had put that one final kick in on him it may have hurt you in a time when we are making a massive
00:17:58.900comeback brands are back around everyone's saying Logan Paul is a new person we love the podcast we
00:18:04.360love what he has going on so we're just trying to protect what you're gonna be soon i know it's
00:18:08.720just hard because we're at the like uh we are at the bottom of the mountain about to start climbing
00:18:13.600and truly reach a peak again if this is the bottom of the mountain bro it's a pretty cool place to be
00:18:17.520no it's dope it's cool do you think we're at the bottom or do you think we're at like
00:18:20.380everest base camp where it's still like it's still like an accomplishment to get there you
00:18:24.340know what i'm saying uh yeah that's where everest base but like you gotta understand like
00:18:27.440when you're at the peak and then you fall all you know is the peak bro that's all i know right so
00:18:33.780like i'm well aware of the social climate my surroundings and where i'm at are you learning
00:18:38.080that that box though is sometimes a good thing to be in because right now i need to be playing
00:18:42.580chess and not checkers i i have to thank you so much so much more strategically about and like
00:18:47.680bro when i when i i left the house i drove away and i went to the top of that mountain that with
00:18:52.260the beautiful sunset um and by the way i saw my um ex-assistant lydia there yeah what they were0.89
00:18:58.380there they were there i know they were there watching the sunset and um she she could tell
00:19:03.640i was like fucked up and like my face was like swollen i'm just like sitting and she's like are
00:19:07.640you she was with her boyfriend she's like uh are you alone are you okay and i was like yeah she's0.86
00:19:12.520like you're alone and i was like yeah that is that it's so strange i'm never alone never um
00:19:21.240well that's why when you told us that you wanted to be alone that night i was spencer wasn't here
00:19:25.880Cause he was running the, the Ironman, but I was like, Andre, like I've never, this has never
00:19:29.800happened before. But, uh, yo, one, one other quick note too. I talked to you that night about false
00:19:35.460apexes again, about how a lot of times I see you getting beaten down by these thoughts of I'm not
00:19:41.800the biggest on, you know, YouTube and, and putting yourself in a competitive bracket with other
00:19:46.420people who are like, just to be your boy and someone to come out and say it that aren't on0.98
00:19:51.260your fucking level bro like straight up like that all of that king of youtube shit in 10 years to0.98
00:19:56.740you is gonna look like peanuts bro i know i'm king of youtube is not you're gonna have done king of1.00
00:20:01.200youtube then king of hollywood then king of business and it's a stepping ladder all the0.95
00:20:04.940way up to things that truly fucking matter so don't get tied up with oh my god this person's0.96
00:20:10.220doing 5 million views a day who gives a fuck about that bro you already did it you already0.98
00:20:14.180won that whole arena so don't go back to trying to reign supreme over a castle that you built0.98
00:20:20.500but and already moved out of yeah that was that was great i wouldn't say moved out of i'd say
00:20:26.040i'd say kicked out of whatever which might be the problem sometimes that's one of the best
00:20:29.020things that can happen but i it's it's a it's a combination of two things one i'm uh i'm impatient
00:20:34.420bro so like i curse i'm and a blessing i'm impatient so like i gotta get stuff done and
00:20:39.960sometimes the big moves the big wins take longer than i would like one thing you you go ahead sorry
00:20:46.020what i was what i was gonna say is let's hear two okay yeah i'm also obsessed with instant
00:20:51.080gratification because i'm a social media kid and like post a picture get your likes and so
00:20:56.180i can't make this stuff happen quick i'm just like i gotta just buckle down trust trust see
00:21:02.540the vision and just know that it's gonna happen it's gonna happen you know you posted a while
00:21:07.560ago i forget what you said exactly i was actually looking for it today but you said something about
00:21:12.460how like you wanted to go a little off grid for potentially like a year or a couple years and like
00:21:18.200do something like what has changed since that moment so how is that vision i thought about
00:21:25.320that bro when i was at the top of this mountain and i was looking at the sunset i was like oh i
00:21:29.440needed like dip for a sec like i like i this it's it's not even creator burnout it's creator
00:21:34.900frustration because i can no longer be a creator like i was like i can't do this anymore um but
00:21:40.520by not create what do you mean by that like not not create like uh not create like no podcast
00:21:47.020this week no podcast next week no vlog no content no instagram and anything and then i i i realized
00:21:53.500uh another blessing and a curse i love nothing more in the world than creating content i've
00:21:58.840been doing it since i was seven i can't i literally can't not i it's not in my fiber
00:22:04.640my moral fiber who i am my being i i need to be making stuff and so i was like well i i literally
00:22:14.400can't take a break and by the way after i drove off the mountain wait you drove off the mountain
00:22:22.080sorry like when i went so i when i came back up and off the mountain
00:22:26.840i was already over it i was already over it like that's what i was gonna say you get over stuff
00:22:33.100really quick you can be so dramatic and so upset and then you work through it by kicking everybody
00:22:39.460out and going to the mountain and whatever you did and you come out on the other side because
00:22:44.820you are pragmatic you're not going to give into that if you were that would have already happened
00:22:51.220that's another well that's another like that uh you didn't we joke about me having no empathy
00:22:55.060like we by the way i like i have empathy but uh sometimes it is a little bit more ruthless than
00:22:59.920the average person and like that applies to myself too like i i gave myself probably two hours
00:23:05.560to like really feel and like collapse and then i was like broke out of my cocoon i'm like you're
00:23:11.960good and and and i was back um i i mind you that sunday i mean you got here at like 4 p.m the next
00:23:19.560day i i did absolutely nothing like i was still affected hugely but i did absolutely nothing i
00:23:25.740played with broly i chilled shot crossbow shot a lot of bone arrow you called your mommy called
00:23:31.080you yeah i think i mean i think it's important though that you're you're we're talking about it
00:23:36.660i think that's really cool because so many people don't open up about mental health that we're all
00:23:42.920like we're all dealing with stuff like that we all have those days of those moments um like you
00:23:49.060gotta talk about how yeah how like what what's your what are you gonna do moving forward now
00:23:53.540like what did you learn from that experience or what it's it's i'm so glad it happened because
00:23:58.300it's it's so much it's going to be so much easier for now for me now when the next piece of content
00:24:04.040gets red lighted and i can't post it or i can't do a certain thing instead of having that major
00:24:10.420just like i'm i can't be a creator moment breakdown frustration it's like okay i went through that and
00:24:18.320i understand why i can't do this right now because that's that's not the environment right now that's
00:24:23.940not good for me and my brand and it's going to be easier for me to to win at the highest level
00:24:30.620because i have a team around me that's thinking very complex that sometimes i'm not i'm thinking
00:24:37.840very great let's post this relevant james charles video and by the way on this one i was with you
00:24:43.280i was hanging with you for the for the majority of it and then when we got about 90 of the way
