00:00:00.000 i've fulfilled my purpose jeffrey does not do a front double bicep when hamza's video comes on
00:00:06.400 i've not uploaded onto this channel for four or five days and trust me i've tried to record this
00:00:15.300 very video six times now yesterday i had a version of this video premiered and then i went onto the
00:00:23.180 youtube studio editor and trimmed out a little bit then i went to sleep and then i woke up in
00:00:27.140 the middle of the night and thought wait let me change it and then i deleted the video then i
00:00:30.700 made a message saying okay sorry you know it was premiered but like i'm gonna change it and i've
00:00:33.960 recorded it three times today and i don't even know like what truly to say this is going to be
00:00:37.780 the last version i think we've been quite successful at what our purpose and mission was here
00:00:46.520 to spread the message of self-improvement and of course not every man in the entire world is on
00:00:53.480 self-improvement of course not we've gone a really good number of men delaying gratification
00:00:57.980 understanding things like prioritizing their mental health and getting into fitness and building an
00:01:01.500 aesthetic body and meditating and i think we've done really good work here you know i've been on
00:01:06.260 this journey for over two years and i've dedicated myself fully to this every single day i've woke up
00:01:12.200 and thought about spreading this message of self-improvement every shower that i've taken
00:01:15.420 as i clean my body i think about spreading the message of self-improvement every meal that i've ate
00:01:19.440 i've thought about spreading the message of self-improvement this has been my purpose for over two years
00:01:22.940 and a little while ago
00:01:24.880 it had dissolved i completed this layer of my purpose and i'm on to the next layer i continued
00:01:34.720 things running the channel making the videos i continued things for a while because you know
00:01:38.440 there's still a game to doing this thing you know we're not completely done yet there's more
00:01:42.580 mental health there's a bigger channel that we could you know create and we could get to five
00:01:45.560 million subs and even more we could make more money and all this but the truth is
00:01:48.380 i genuinely feel like i've completed this layer of my purpose which was totally fixated on
00:01:53.860 growing the channel and spreading the message of self-improvement to the men out there
00:01:58.120 chat did you just see the viewers drop 4 000 people in two minutes what the fuck happened
00:02:04.500 is that rumble or the matrix did the fbi just assassinate 4 000 schizos in their home
00:02:08.980 the fuck i've made the hard decision now after weighing this up so many times after speaking to
00:02:14.440 my close friend who helps me make these decisions sam i've made the hard decision now to stop this
00:02:21.620 content production machine that we had here this huge team that we had of seven video editors and
00:02:26.800 tiktok guys and sales guys twitter guys and god bless we had over a dozen employees who i was
00:02:33.640 personally paying for and i pay my staff very well and i let every single one go including sam
00:02:41.780 carbonate i'm my best friend who's worked for me for over two years
00:02:44.980 i've kept my personal assistant but that's like kind of different i guess but i have an assistant
00:02:49.940 and that's it i don't have any video editors or anything else now i will not be posting daily videos
00:02:55.560 the youtube channel no jeffrey work ethic wait hamza your main channel is literally dying
00:03:04.540 daily you know vids anything like that
00:03:07.020 my new layer of my purpose to for me to focus on is my own development as a man
00:03:16.180 i no longer care about being a youtuber or an influencer or a celebrity or a man with fame or
00:03:24.160 anything like this you know like a guy with a million subscribers genuinely i'm not saying this
00:03:28.580 to be humble or anything genuinely i just don't care about it it's like this is what happens when
00:03:32.240 you really focus in on your purpose everything else just seems silly and pointless and for so long this
00:03:37.860 was the purpose right you know the youtube channel grow the channel get get 1 million subscribers 5
00:03:41.020 million subscribers grow the channel more views more watch time more subscribers amazing yes keep
00:03:44.180 growing the channel now it's like i just don't even think about it at all what my purpose is now is my
00:03:48.420 own development to become even more of a man and the angle that it's currently fixated on my mind
00:03:56.200 my heart and my soul is fighting competition martial arts that's what i'm throwing myself into fully
00:04:04.300 i'm trying to align what 100 of my life into that endeavor of of martial arts and i know this seems
00:04:12.140 like a really big change it's like wait you were just a youtuber now you're saying martial arts but
00:04:14.980 this is kind of like how a masculine purpose works soon i will have some kind of guide explaining this
00:04:21.360 and first i should tell you that what's going to happen to this channel what's going to happen to
00:04:24.580 youtube is that i don't really care about the youtube channel i certainly don't care about
00:04:29.660 metrics vanity followers i don't care at all likes views anything what i do still have some positive
00:04:37.100 feeling about is the beauty of passing knowledge to each other i no longer want to see this as a
00:04:45.680 youtube channel that i'm trying to grow i want to see this as me genuinely just sitting down turning
00:04:50.260 the camera on when i have some actually like really valuable knowledge to give to you some really
00:04:54.000 valuable like og youtube where you just use it as a diary to talk about what you've learned
00:04:58.620 it wasn't all about monetizing it wasn't about algorithm it was just people fucking with a
00:05:03.380 certain personality and then they would talk about life this is what it was made for some purposeful
00:05:08.500 advice to give you and then i disappear again i'm no longer going to be posting on a schedule you
00:05:14.680 know like we posted every single day at the same time i'm not going to do that anymore there might
00:05:17.660 be some times where i post like you know four times in four days but then i will probably disappear
00:05:21.960 for some while if you look at my second channel that's kind of like how i expect things to be
00:05:25.420 i'm not going to stick to a schedule i'm not going to see myself as like a youtuber who you know all
00:05:29.840 this stuff like i don't bro like i'm not a youtuber i'm just a man with a camera i'm a man who is going
00:05:39.320 out there into the real world to develop himself in the areas that a man should and when it comes up
00:05:44.180 when it is important to do so i will try and pass on hopefully some really really valuable advice
00:05:49.940 and knowledge to you i can't absolutely but then what is he going to do with his time chat what is
00:05:55.000 he going to be doing because this was the way he was making money this is his business what do you
00:05:58.860 do all day totally hey thanks for the hundred what the fuck you mad
00:06:02.740 you mad says big dono because you missed yesterday you're a bot if you don't do it doing my workout as
00:06:11.460 i'm watching the grind never stops baby free top g this is this is this is a hundred push-ups
00:06:16.320 bro you mad no i'm not doing a hundred push-ups bro i'm not doing okay i'll do a hundred push-ups
00:06:22.280 fuck while we watch this video chalice to go let's go this fucking guy man every fucking day
00:06:26.360 yeah this is this is this guy lee
00:06:30.340 not not at all about gaining more subscribers and growing the community growing the channel at all
00:06:39.060 i don't care about new subs it's gonna be new subscribers new followers i don't care what i care
00:06:44.020 about is the current men for so long i spent every single day thinking about how to grow the channel
00:06:51.780 the movement how to get more subscribers i don't care all i care about now is actually helping you
00:06:56.340 the current man more and i think to do that i actually have to prioritize my own journey because
00:07:02.420 otherwise i'll just be repeating the same messages over and over and you know i'll just be like
00:07:05.540 rinsing out the same learning lessons that i had from a year ago i need to go out there into the
00:07:08.980 real world and experience some true hardship true love true discipline i need to get these experiences
00:07:16.740 myself formulate them into a real valuable message through contemplation and solitude and journaling
00:07:22.640 and then come when i've prepared more like a presentation more like a classroom speech to you
00:07:27.880 i will no longer be feeding into the the daily content machine yep you know just make another
00:07:35.220 video because your youtube channel will grow more i mean in a sense this is as unplugged to the matrix
00:07:39.840 as you could be or if you do and yeah make them really edited because your youtube channel will grow
00:07:42.540 more if you do and then yeah do this thing do this thing get into this drama do this youtube drama
00:07:46.180 i'm not going to do any of that all i'm focused on is my own development and mostly that's coming
00:07:50.880 from combat sports right now it's coming from martial arts and the lessons that come from that and
00:07:55.600 every now and then when it is required important necessary valuable purposeful i will sit down with
00:08:02.200 a planned message a formal planned video to try and help you i know that this seems crazy and i know
00:08:11.800 that if younger hamza was watching this hamza from one year ago two year ago he would have been shocked
00:08:16.880 he would have said to me right now if if 24 year old hamza 23 year old hamza was watching me and you
00:08:21.280 know he had been putting in some work into youtube saw that we were on one and a half million
00:08:24.080 subscribers and then saw that i essentially was saying that i was going to stop to like do something
00:08:27.080 more fulfilling he'd think that i was crazy why not just keep pushing why not just get the five
00:08:30.360 million subscribers and then stop if you want to be like what i just get five million you know just
00:08:32.900 keep the things running but what i have realized recently is that if you want to become a truly
00:08:36.680 purposeful man if you truly want to become masculine you need to align as much of your life as possible to
00:08:43.240 this layer of purpose that needs to be peeled back there is so many things that i could say right now
00:08:48.020 about purpose you know you've heard the term purpose so much it makes me like i can't explain to you
00:08:53.560 enough like it makes me shiver and like the hair stand up on my arms of my understanding of purpose
00:08:57.420 like my entire life is changing forever because of this understanding that i've had over literally just
00:09:03.360 the last week of how i will live my life from now on and when i do have the time and the the formulated
00:09:07.940 message to do that which will be a video soon maybe you'll you'll actually understand why i'm making this
00:09:12.880 this change to a lot of people this may seem like a huge sacrifice and it may seem as
00:09:18.100 as really strange you had a big youtube channel some level of fame and clout and you know you're
00:09:23.980 like an influencer you're like an internet celebrity wow but these things that you know a lot of young
00:09:29.300 men desire these things can be really nice but becoming a man and fulfilling your mission is
00:09:34.840 infinitely more fulfilling is he actually going to try to become a ufc fighter i could see him doing that
00:09:39.900 infinitely more freeing
00:09:42.600 i fulfilled and peered back peeled back this layer of my purpose of spreading this message and
00:09:48.480 trying to get over a million men on on self-improvement a million men to meditate
00:09:52.320 and of course i don't be meditating there's there's more men out there who still need this help but
00:09:57.500 it no longer feels like that's my duty anymore to spread the message more and more and more and
00:10:01.840 more it feels like my duty now is my own development is me as a man i must disappear without this this
00:10:10.600 feeling and this stress and this pressure of you know oh but we've got to upload daily so you can't
00:10:14.100 go and do this thing into the bro no no daily videos no pressure from from like youtube anymore
00:10:19.180 sometimes i might disappear for weeks and months and i know it sounds silly but like sometimes i
00:10:24.100 might go to the mountains and stay in the mountains and sometimes i might go stay in a place that has
00:10:27.820 no internet in the wild because these are the things that i feel like i must do as a man
00:10:31.100 in less than two weeks i'm he's literally going monk mode move and i will go and stay in a training camp
00:10:37.380 a fight camp where i will literally stay in a single bed in the gym in the not not like a
00:10:42.980 weightlifting gym but in the martial arts gym where i will train for hours upon hours every single day
00:10:47.400 where i will try to push myself to my extreme limits push past my limits so that i know
00:10:51.600 honestly he sounds like he's going through a breakup he mentioned true love but he was living with this
00:10:54.660 girl i'm sure he'll be back youtube i don't think so you see he's been on this way for a while uh even
00:10:58.980 since last summer know what my actual limits are because these experiences are deeply important for men
00:11:04.000 and i will not hold that back for the the gain of internet fame or anything like this
00:11:10.880 sure i was a youtuber but past that
00:11:16.640 i am a man and becoming more masculine as a man is the single greatest thing that you can do
00:11:24.080 it's something that we should naturally do and yet in this modern world we
00:11:27.000 don't really do that but every step that i take towards a more masculine version of myself
00:11:33.180 self i disagree i think the highest form of being i think the highest form of masculinity
00:11:38.820 and being a man the greatest thing you could do in life is inspiration is inspiring others and people
00:11:45.620 do that through responsibility you can do that through creating art or creating something that
00:11:51.360 people that helps people that betters other people around you the highest form is inspiration i think
00:11:56.660 like becoming as masculine as possible like literally becoming like a war general monk mode everything
00:12:03.020 like who what is the reason for that like what's the point of doing that
00:12:06.660 even saying that sentence every step that i take towards a more masculine version of myself
00:12:12.800 it's like i feel it inside that this is right i'm taking a step away from like internet like
00:12:19.020 i'm not a celebrity i'm not like famous or anything but you know like 1.5 million subscribers
00:12:22.260 is pretty good i'm taking a step away from that and a step literally into the wild
00:12:25.980 and i can't tell you like how right that this is even though it may seem crazy because if younger
00:12:31.940 hamster was watching this he would be at no age he'd be thinking wait what like just get to 5
00:12:34.840 million stops get to 10 million stops okay then you can quit if you want but no
00:12:36.860 i've let everyone go all of my team members everything all my video editors sam harbinator i've let
00:12:46.440 every single employee go apart from my my personal assistants to pursue this new purpose layer
00:12:52.600 which i know is absolutely like crazy to think but this this is somewhat coming to an end but
00:12:59.700 i don't see it as the end i see it as a new beginning
00:13:06.300 so from your perspective what you will see is that you will no longer see these daily uploads at the
00:13:14.280 same time every single day you won't see that you won't see videos with animations and edits and
00:13:18.920 artistic thumbnails or anything like that you will just see plain basic occasional sporadic videos
00:13:24.040 infrequent videos from me with no editing literally just me okay now you said that now
00:13:30.320 sitting down for half an hour to two hours explaining some kind of concept that i think
00:13:35.160 would genuinely change your life
00:13:36.520 and that's only when i have the time away from the thing that is actually my priority
00:13:43.660 which is developing myself and mostly that's coming through fighting right now
00:13:47.180 we have done absolutely amazing to spread this message to think that over a million men
00:13:56.540 have discovered self-improvement because of this and you should feel so proud of yourself for being
00:14:02.400 part of that this is not the end this is the beginning i didn't realize it would go like this you
00:14:12.140 know in my perception of things up it just seemed clear yeah just keep going the channel keep going
00:14:15.240 the channel keep going the channel yeah if you want to like do some discipline martial art stuff do
00:14:18.180 that one hour a day if you want or whatever i think in some time if you are uncertain about this
00:14:24.820 and you're thinking wait this is still crazy like why have you done this i think in just some time
00:14:28.200 you may begin to realize maybe you click on a random video i make two weeks from now
00:14:32.960 and you're like wait this actually chris just sent me this rumble ceo update rumble has been
00:14:37.280 under continuous ddos attacks this seems to be accelerating our engineering teams okay so
00:14:41.180 liberals attacking he may have been one of the best things he could do for himself and even
00:14:45.680 me as the viewer i just want to help you as much as possible i no longer want to think about
00:14:54.260 the youtube views and retention and and average view duration and click-through rates and all these
00:14:59.280 like youtube like internet social he doesn't want to be on any of this autistic algorithm shit which
00:15:03.320 it's actually been nice to be canceled to be banned to not have these platforms because it's like
00:15:07.000 it's actually more freeing to just be talking to your audience and not being obsessed over metrics and
00:15:13.720 stuff like that but get ready to see a lot more videos on my on twitter um with twitter's video
00:15:18.600 capabilities social media terms i don't want to be a part of like the social media machine i am simply
00:15:22.360 just a man with a camera and i think some of the things that i have to say are going to be extremely
00:15:30.840 educational the next video that will be posted to this channel will be the last video of the old
00:15:37.180 kind the animated edited jeffrey nadonna's intro jeffrey the seven ways to make girls like you kind
00:15:43.080 of thing that will be the last video i would happily start fresh right now and not release that video
00:15:46.400 but it was already done it was already paid for editor it has done the work the thumbnail guys
00:15:51.120 already made it so it's like we may as well release it it's like a sort of celebration for the
00:15:54.460 final video that we can all come come together with maybe i'll premiere it we can all come together
00:15:58.220 and say okay this is like the last video of its kind on the channel and then after that
00:16:01.620 you will not see consistent uploads from me you will see a video from me when i genuinely think
00:16:09.260 it will change your life i will handshake you with that right now you will see a video from me when i
00:16:13.100 genuinely think that video will change your life forever and the one that i do have a plan for
00:16:17.740 which maybe you'll see within a week or two weeks is a guide to purpose i've made videos on purpose
00:16:24.820 before but my understanding of it has increased dramatically just very recently and so it will
00:16:29.000 be like a full one hour guide no edits no cuts nothing like that of me just telling you from my
00:16:35.460 current understanding what purpose is how to become more purposeful as a man and like i can't right now
00:16:41.480 i don't have the word just important to do it's nice to do for the guys who have helped this movement
00:16:45.220 so much so if you are like maybe a youtuber or maybe if you will have some kind of use for a video
00:16:48.740 editor you want to employ one of my guys who no longer work for me please keep an eye out on
00:16:52.360 this main channel's youtube community post where i will put details about each and every staff
00:16:56.920 member that i let go their email instagram their portfolio things like that if you are interested
00:17:01.760 in potentially hiring them and just see what that happens with that i really want to help them just
00:17:05.480 like kind of hit the ground running with a new opportunity because every guy that i've had on
00:17:08.540 my team has been there for a little while now and they've been very very good that's all i have to say
00:17:13.500 for today
00:17:14.000 that's it your job
