SNEAKO - NEVER SELL YOUR SOUL

00:00:00.000 i'm very glad to be back from la i always knew that if i'd go there as a kid i would never sell

00:00:11.440 my soul i just finished recording a documentary with louis theroux and he asked me what do you

00:00:16.560 regret in life and i could see in his eyes exactly what he was talking about but i'm very proud to

00:00:21.880 say that this far in my career i have never sold my soul do i regret anything no i don't believe

00:00:28.540 in living in regret but obviously there's some things that would have been better if i never did

00:00:34.360 them there's things i said during my career as a stand-up comedian that if you look at now

00:00:38.380 without the context of humor look poorly upon me my dad's from haiti i told him i dropped out he's

00:00:43.680 actually kind of excited oh oh so it's happy he had a positive reaction i told my dad i'm gay

00:00:51.100 he went oh and do i regret my modeling career walking in london for burberry

00:00:57.320 no it was high fashion but those pictures of me looking like a ladybug are not too favorable now

00:01:03.220 if i had known then what i know now i would have never done that just like today my agent called

00:01:07.320 me up to do a casting for coca-cola but we know who they hold allegiance to and i can't sell my soul

00:01:13.140 but selling your soul is as simple as compromising your morals for money you might have seen it during

00:01:18.080 that stream at aiden ross's warehouse when i was surrounded in a room full of celebrities

00:01:21.900 being pressured to apologize for something that i know to be true i don't believe that that people

00:01:27.200 can transition to something like that that's your opinion and that's your opinion and i can

00:01:31.740 that's your opinion and i completely respect that me not apologizing in front of hundreds of thousands

00:01:37.480 of viewers with celebrities hawking over me was a good example of standing my ground but back then

00:01:42.620 i probably would not have been so strong in my beliefs never selling your soul sounds like obvious

00:01:47.660 advice but if it were that clear our country wouldn't be occupied by israel that's why i'm glad to be

00:01:52.160 back from la because that's where all of it begins

00:01:54.840 it's hard to believe that there's nobody out there it's hard to believe that i'm all alone

00:02:10.020 quickly need to charge my camera grab the sd card reader upload this vlog and on to the next one

00:02:19.540 just like that another flight to new york

00:02:41.100 i like my outfit though the day is much better when you like your outfit now i want to do stuff

00:02:48.840 i need to brush my teeth

00:02:49.860 i didn't sleep much i probably only slept two three hours but that's the actual benefit of flying

00:02:57.920 first class all the time is you just got to sleep on the plane and then just teleport in a different

00:03:02.100 place i really like this restaurant really enjoy this hotel you don't come here i'm gatekeeping

00:03:07.960 do not come to this hotel arizona vibes life's been pretty good recently things are working out

00:03:14.100 i have a flight that i should board in 30 minutes and it's a 30 minute drive but i'm so hungry

00:03:19.060 that if i miss it i miss it

00:03:20.880 can i get uh i gotta order quickly i have a flight pretty soon

00:03:26.780 yes and then give you the menu yeah i got you how quickly can i get some eggs and a coffee

00:03:31.480 maybe 10 minutes less plus 10 minutes less scrambled eggs cappuccino

00:03:37.540 i open up x and i see hbo max dissing drake this is what i'm saying when you make it to the top

00:03:44.320 everyone's willing to slander you for some drop of relevancy it doesn't matter who it is even a

00:03:49.660 production company drake produced one of the biggest shows ever on this platform and now they're

00:03:54.780 running a twitter to diss someone it's popular there's no friends in this industry and drake 0.99

00:03:58.860 is completely vindicated in what he's feeling like what i'm really looking forward to is seeing drake

00:04:03.200 make a comeback my number one pet peeve with the internet recently is how everyone has selective

00:04:08.100 memory and how they rewrite history to benefit them people like logan paul were blm four years ago and

00:04:14.580 they get front row at the inauguration people like me and yay were wearing the maga hat when it was

00:04:20.120 still seen as a swastika but the trump team told yay that he needed to apologize for a second time

00:04:25.900 for the exact same comment he already apologized for i was wearing the maga hat when you risked your

00:04:30.900 life to do it knocking on doors and voting for trump before it was the mainstream cool opinion the point

00:04:36.140 is even though everyone's attention span is terrible because of the internet don't rewrite history

00:04:40.040 i'm exporting one of today's videos right now it's been a pretty hectic couple days and it's gonna

00:04:49.460 keep being hectic i'm planning my trip to new orleans right now for the super bowl and my favorite

00:04:54.360 storyline from these daily vlogs so far is seeing how slowly i'm being uncancelled and coming back to

00:05:02.080 normal parts of the industry but seeing the way that they turned on drake they're definitely going to

00:05:07.500 turn on me again too and i gotta be better prepared this time around good food beef bacon by the way

00:05:13.620 hey don't worry beef bacon okay let's hope this food is worth me potentially missing my flight

00:05:20.680 i don't ever want to feel like i did that day but take me to the place i love take me all the way

00:05:39.400 hey how you doing yeah pretty good where i just go here are you clear yeah i'm clear all right

00:05:44.660 it should be clear yeah still need that private jet this is not enough

00:05:48.720 okay i got 10 minutes and my id is not scanning

00:05:54.480 i think we went to school together

00:05:58.460 what show do you do what show i'm a ball player yeah ufc fighter retired ball player ufc now

00:06:06.340 all right take care man of course my bag gets checked for a little tripod light leaves in three minutes

00:06:12.980 wow

00:06:17.880 i don't ever want to feel like i did that day take me to the place i love take me all the way

00:06:30.100 and there's an epidemic of soul selling because talented people do not have a clear enough vision

00:06:51.720 at the right point in their life to know why they do things most talent is never realized or

00:06:57.300 is sold in la because people haven't decided what their motivation is so much talent could be fully

00:07:03.280 realized if people deliberately created their reasons why before the contract to sell your soul

00:07:08.360 was ever offered there was a study done where a room of people were asked if you needed to make a

00:07:13.360 million dollars this year what's the percentage of chance that you would get it done most of the

00:07:18.400 the room said one percent zero percent it sounded unfathomable but then you asked that same group of

00:07:24.380 people if your family's life was on the line would you become a millionaire this year and all of them

00:07:29.760 said yes the difference had nothing to do with their talent or capability the only thing separating

00:07:35.240 them from one percent to ninety nine percent was their reason why their motivation imagine how much

00:07:41.000 more work you would get done if you had the weight of the world on your shoulders the same reason when

00:07:45.560 you have a paper that's due tomorrow night suddenly you become earnest hemingway even though i was

00:07:50.680 terrible in school the best work i ever got done was when the exam was tomorrow because i had to do it

00:07:56.120 or else but unfortunately the weight of the world will never be rested upon your shoulders like a marvel movie

00:08:01.800 so you need to create that reason for yourself looking back the major deciding factor to get

00:08:06.520 me from point a to point b was the motivation of getting me and my family out of debt what's

00:08:11.320 motivating me now world domination okay that was a pretty cool vlog but what's more important than

00:08:18.760 the actual content is the thumbnail and after 12 years of experience and a year of developing the

00:08:24.200 first video to image ai software let me show you how to skip those steps you know that i started

00:08:29.000 making videos before i hit puberty talking about life appearance beauty standards making short films

00:08:34.520 like fake it till you make it moving to new york and talking about mental health going through ups and

00:08:39.800 downs of my career and all throughout this time i've studied the algorithm that everybody's so obsessed

00:08:45.160 with unfortunately the algorithm is always going to be more important in your content and viro is going

00:08:49.640 to help you skip all those steps all you got to do is upload your video and it will scan for the

00:08:54.520 most click baitable face and then read the video to understand what the background and subject are

00:08:59.640 so it can skip all the photoshop and market research that you don't want to do social media would be so

00:09:04.600 much better if you just focused on the content and you didn't have to worry about the background

00:09:09.000 or how to photoshop or what text to use which font or what's the brightest background that makes

00:09:15.240 people click so i go to the website here which is viral.so and just press generate thumbnail then you have

00:09:20.920 the ai thumbnail creator and my favorite is video to image with face this is the most common type of

00:09:25.960 content and the most clickable thumbnail out there you press upload video and i'm going to select the

00:09:30.600 vlog right here it's going to scan five minutes the style is a vlog la selling your soul travel that's

00:09:38.120 it now it's uploading and this probably takes 20 to 30 seconds 99 come on there we go exactly five

00:09:45.960 minutes that's enough to find a thumbnail and then i'm going to generate come on all right the best

00:09:51.400 moments and yeah it found the best thumbnail faces i'm gonna say this is probably the best thumbnail

00:09:59.320 face right here because that has a good background perfect flying adventures new york and hotel life's

00:10:04.200 been hectic this is a banger thumbnail that's all i got to do is download it and boom there you go

00:10:12.200 there you go and if i want to i can edit it and in the editor i can reposition my face if i want to

00:10:17.720 make it a little bigger i probably will make my face a bit bigger i really like this generated background

00:10:22.520 this is perfect this is perfect for the subject matter and much better than what would be

00:10:27.640 automatically selected by any of the websites that generate thumbnails for you and you could quickly add

00:10:32.760 text here because this in editor in viral is perfect to do stuff really quick and this is cheaper than

00:10:38.120 photoshop never sell your soul actually you could add a drop shadow and a border to it too save and

00:10:46.040 boom i just got done in five minutes what would take an experienced photoshop editor maybe 45 with

00:10:52.360 integrated photoshop in viral here websites viral.so first video to image ai software ever it's gonna

00:10:58.920 take over the game this is exactly what i needed when i first started
