00:01:56.420
we'll be looking to extract as much advice and practical tips on how we can improve our lives
00:02:00.360
and make money based on your experience and your general thoughts from meeting and working with
00:02:05.340
many successful people such as Kanye West, MrBeast, Sneeko the ex-youtuber who is now banned on
00:02:10.920
youtube and twitch and tiktok but now rumbler has gained over a million subscribers on youtube
00:02:17.060
before he got banned and he runs a self-help and personal development course before we look into
00:02:22.620
your story i want to ask you one question and i want you to be upfront 100 honest in this current
00:02:27.820
moment are you happy yes i don't allow myself to be anything else but happy you have to be happy
00:02:35.260
you have to always and even if you might have moments where you're off you have to always
00:02:39.360
believe that there's work to be done so that you could be your happiest and if i i've been
00:02:45.620
depressed before i believed i was depressed before and that's when my life was going down
00:02:50.000
the wrong path but i believe in my bigger purpose now and i really see how powerful it is to push
00:02:58.100
away negative thoughts yeah you can't allow negativity to enter your mind and that's that's
00:03:03.180
you go down a spiral like i couldn't sleep last night because of the jet lag uh dubai is a 14
00:03:09.760
hour flight a big time difference yeah and i couldn't sleep and so i started like scrolling
00:03:13.160
and then i started getting those moments where i the moments that i had a lot when i was depressed
00:03:19.400
or when i was in a state of depression which is just believing that you're sad every single day
00:03:24.340
you know i'm just out of scrolling like i'm lazy just because i was like let me get up and go to
00:03:28.940
the gym early you know everybody else is sleeping let me go to the gym but i was like uh it's lazy
00:03:33.920
just look at you lazy pieces why am i thinking that i'm not lazy piece i'm gonna get up and go
00:03:38.460
right now i'm not gonna scroll anymore like uh i don't allow myself to to think those thoughts
00:03:45.020
anymore because it becomes your reality yeah it's going to it's going to show in every single way
00:03:50.120
you act in real life and i don't want it to to be that way anymore amazing that's not the way to
00:03:55.420
live it really it's extremely powerful to have only positive thoughts just now when you ended
00:04:01.140
the call with uh mo you said like i appreciate that love and like i noticed one thing about
00:04:05.880
dubai is everybody starts to sense like you always say like oh brother it's good to see you man
00:04:09.960
like words like that they they have power they make just little things like that have been really
00:04:16.180
paying attention to how much of an effect that has on the way you treat people and also what
00:04:20.200
you think like just starting off by saying brother like you you're more inclined to do
00:04:25.080
something right and to go out of your way and and to do it correctly because they're they're
00:04:30.620
showing appreciation for who you are and they're showing that like we're in this together you're
00:04:34.080
my brother small things like that that it's really proof that words are hypnosis and uh the coffee's
00:04:39.660
here coffee's here definitely need been doing a lot of podcasts dubai's been uh but we're gonna
00:04:44.840
extend man i really like it here i really like being around um the muslim culture so you built
00:04:50.480
a lot of your you can say empire or your your wealth from having your personal brand I wanted
00:04:58.680
to ask you do you think that's a viable option for someone out there today who's let's say
00:05:02.740
watching this video wants to make money do you think you should just pick up the camera and
00:05:05.600
start recording is that like something like a go-to advice you would say viable option I think
00:05:11.500
I'm naturally I have a an entertainer that's part of my personality is part of what I want to do
00:05:32.380
But I would say it's bigger than just turning on a camera
00:05:39.920
if you have no meeting, you're just there doing,
00:05:50.400
But if you are only looking for attention, camera go.
00:05:53.600
I've seen people like pour milk on themselves in Walmart.
00:05:58.580
And that's when it just, a lot of people in this generation, they think that attention equals good.
00:06:04.480
Because everything, how we monetize everything and how much we're online.
00:06:12.460
Because you will face consequences for those actions.
00:06:14.740
and people are getting tired of the gimmicks and it doesn't last so i would say have something
00:06:20.840
else in your life as well you have to be interesting outside of just the camera you
00:06:24.500
need to have curiosities passions and then that will all culminate into what you talk about on
00:06:29.480
the camera makes sense now if someone's watching this out there and let's say youtube is not for
00:06:34.920
them you know they they don't they're camera shy or let's say they are camera shy in the beginning
00:06:39.800
were you camera shy or were you never i was i didn't even turn the camera on until like
00:06:44.040
50 videos and it was just me talking to a mic and then playing call of duty like gaming videos on
00:06:50.100
the screen and then i did a face cam like i did a face reveal yeah and that was a that was a big
00:06:55.860
deal like hey guys this is me it's very it's very scary to put your face out there and like
00:07:00.600
you know yeah i started very young i was 14 but i think most people if you're more grown it's not
00:07:06.040
that big of a deal by that everybody knows your face because of instagram and other social media
00:07:09.960
were you filming at that time because you wanted to make money or just because you enjoyed it or
00:07:12.980
like were you just really ambitious just wanted to get rich no i just enjoyed it i i just you we
00:07:18.480
talked last time about how it's more important to create more than you consume especially with
00:07:22.880
social media and i was watching it all day and i figured like i can do this like i'm learning from
00:07:28.020
this i'm not just going to be a product of this machine yeah i want to contribute to it i want to
00:07:34.160
become good at it and also just it was really fun and i like the idea of being able to connect with
00:07:39.680
people and on now it's so normal it was kind of weird back then it was different it was like this
00:07:45.300
like oh you open up your laptop and there's a guy talking it was it was strange and i thought
00:07:51.180
that was really interesting to be able to go connect with people on the internet i thought
00:07:55.120
that there was longevity there and i i love doing it it wasn't about money for the longest time
00:08:29.380
hey that's the vlogger kid yeah you know and you know the crazy thing is you always look stupid
00:08:34.560
until you become famous like until you become successful yeah then until then it's like
00:08:38.380
nobody's like you're just imagine you just embarrass yourself and nobody's watching it
00:08:41.860
like you look embarrassing you look stupid to nobody and then it's just your friends call you
00:08:46.540
stupid and then it's worse so i kept it secret for a long time i only told my brother my brother
00:08:52.980
went back and forth he would critique my videos he gave me a lot of input and like before brother
00:08:57.940
a younger brother he's uh vincent he's 22 i would show him videos and then he would tell me if it
00:09:04.000
was cringe before i posted it i trusted his opinion a lot i remember when uh kids in my
00:09:08.680
class first found out about it and that was pretty nerve-wracking but then actually some of
00:09:14.080
and then of course they made fun of me but then some of them would they they started watching the
00:09:17.300
videos and they would like it yeah and that was like the coolest thing to like make a video and
00:09:21.300
then i kind of started that actually helped me get over that first hurdle when i was making videos
00:09:26.080
that i knew my friends were gonna laugh at and that actually that made it so much more genuine
00:09:30.940
because it wasn't for random people on the internet like the sense of humor was based
00:09:35.380
around the sense of humor i had with my friends and i made this video called the five types of
00:09:39.760
high school teachers and i was just making fun of our professors and doing voices like
00:09:43.400
do your homework you can't go outside and then i remember them watching and they're like that was
00:09:47.720
fun i know who that is i pretended like it was just generic teacher but i was just doing the
00:09:51.600
exact voice of my English teacher. So it was really funny and relatable to the people watching
00:09:56.680
the video, but also the reason it was that personalized was because it was based on real
00:10:01.340
world experience. So that's why you can't just turn on the camera and go, it has to be based
00:10:05.400
off of something real. If it's not based in truth, then it's not funny. All right. That's
00:10:10.540
interesting though, because I can only imagine the feeling, but it's interesting to hear you
00:10:14.740
explain it. I wanted to ask you, you said that for some people, maybe YouTube might not be for
00:10:19.460
them. Someone right now watching this, they want to earn money. How should they earn money?
00:10:24.080
Well, I don't know what you're good at. You have to answer that question differently for everybody.
00:10:28.580
One thing I disagree with Andrew and Tristan a lot is for a hustler mindset, you kind of have
00:10:34.160
to put that to the side and just make money by any means necessary. But I think that's when you
00:10:39.140
start doing hedonistic activities. And I don't recommend that anybody start to make money in
00:10:45.280
something that they are not proud of, because then I think you're going to end up regretting
00:10:48.840
it later on and i don't think i was speaking about that with you who was it i was speaking with uh
00:10:53.920
tam khan and he was saying that good yeah great guy and he told me something uh driving back from
00:11:00.480
the gym he said that when you commit haram it always comes back like that's how i guess that's
00:11:07.080
how muslims view karma in that way so if haram activities always come back so if you start making
00:11:13.460
money by any means like drug dealers for example they have this ruthless hustler mindset i don't
00:11:19.260
care i'm gonna sell crack people are gonna get high i don't care what community i affect the
00:11:22.920
government's already responsible for this the fentanyl's already in the border i'm just gonna
00:11:27.080
make money by any means necessary and then you know what happens they get shot or they go to jail
00:11:30.960
and you know somebody robs them because they're around a lot of negative energy they're around
00:11:36.800
this this negative lifestyle so they they will make money but they always face consequences for
00:11:42.420
it. So I would say for anybody watching, what are you good at? And a lot of people don't even know
00:11:47.780
what they're good at. A lot of people play Fortnite all day. Like the young kids watching,
00:11:51.300
they'll play video games. I think you need to be, I think you need to reflect. A lot of people don't
00:11:55.500
spend time reflecting because we live in this fast world and you're always like looking for
00:11:59.040
everyone. I noticed this with people who are like 2021, uh, Salim from Nelk Boys, for example,
00:12:05.380
I noticed this trait about him. Like whenever there's like an uncomfortable moment, he goes
00:12:09.580
like i'm gonna go live like why like he goes live on instagram yeah he recently started a podcast
00:12:16.840
and then i he he went like oh i'm gonna go live right now and it's a defense mechanism because
00:12:21.640
instead of like sitting in the uncomfort instead of feeling the uncomfortable which you should yeah
00:12:27.620
it's just like social media will distract it i'll get the positive affirmation from people in the
00:12:32.100
chat and i can avoid this moment right now or you'll notice when you're just even smaller like
00:12:36.360
back in school when you're standing in a circle something like that or like and not really in
00:12:41.680
traffic like when when someone brings the girls around i know and then immediately like yo where
00:12:45.420
the girls at and they bring the girls and then they're here and then oh yeah they they they don't
00:12:51.500
want to face it so next time you're in that scenario the girls are there risk the rejection
00:12:55.920
be in the uncomfortable but that's when you're alive when you have to risk it that's when you're
00:13:00.580
in the ring in the arena because like so you can get made fun of you don't know what's going to
00:13:03.940
happen. You could risk rejection. People are going to make fun of you. And that's good because you
00:13:08.360
will build from that. You're not going to build if you don't face that. So for people who don't
00:13:12.880
know what they're good at, take time to reflect and be uncomfortable. Actually analyze what is
00:13:19.420
going on in your life. And I think a lot of people don't go on walks, for example, without any noise.
00:13:25.160
I don't think that people try to go drive alone. I don't think people in our generation are alone
00:13:31.080
with their thoughts enough. And you don't necessarily have to meditate completely.
00:13:34.600
I think you can go just be by yourself and then analyze your life. Think really hard about what
00:13:40.860
you're good at and what you're not good at. And then start creating something that you enjoy
00:13:46.100
doing. That's what worked for me. I loved making content for the longest time. So I wanted to make
00:13:50.680
my whole life around that. And I knew I wasn't going to get tired of it because that's what I
00:13:53.760
love doing. And I don't think you're going to crash out. I don't think that you're going to
00:13:57.000
face any real sorts of negative repercussions if you're doing something that you love.
00:14:02.760
What's the five most important traits for someone to be successful, in your opinion?
00:14:15.240
I think you need to be selfish slash self-involved.
00:14:20.060
And a little bit, and number two could be crazy.
00:14:28.940
Like when you are obsessed with an idea, when you are obsessed with becoming like when I dropped out of school, people didn't think I was saying people thought that this was a crazy thing to do.
00:14:37.600
And you also have to be a little bit delusional to the third one, because you need to believe in yourself so much optimistic that it doesn't even matter.
00:14:49.300
And maybe a lot of becoming successful is delusional because most people won't do it.
00:14:53.880
And so you need to get over that hurdle to get out of the normalcy mindset of what everybody else is doing and be a little bit insane to get to that point.
00:15:01.540
So delusional, insane. Fourth one is you also need to be practical at the same time, because if you don't have a clear plan, if you don't have if you don't have the skill set and if you aren't capable of doing it,
00:15:16.800
if you aren't mentally ready, physically ready, if you aren't sleeping at the right time,
00:15:21.660
if you're not clear and you're, uh, yeah, then it's, it's unreal. It's unrealistic. So people
00:15:29.640
are going to think you're delusional. People are going to think you're crazy and you need to be
00:15:32.900
obsessed with it. Like an obsessed artist that cuts off his ear, like Vincent van Gogh, but you
00:15:37.140
also need to have like a, a vision of the painting. That's going to make you cut your ear off. Like
00:15:41.200
if you, you know, a crazy artist only does it because he's so obsessed about. So to be
00:15:46.740
a visionary or to be practical it's visionary uh but you need to see what it looks like in your
00:15:52.560
head and a lot of people are not going to be able to understand it until you show the results just
00:15:56.740
like we talked about earlier people think it's cringe until you show like how much money i'm
00:16:00.300
making like people will say dropping out of college is stupid until i'm making more money
00:16:03.580
than my professor yeah and then they're like well there you did you did it i think the word cringe
00:16:07.660
itself is just basically just means different if you analyze the actual just word just means
00:16:11.540
different and if you want to have different outcomes than 99 then you have to act differently
00:16:16.020
than 99 percent so i think that's yeah because if you're gonna act like normal p this is why
00:16:20.760
it's considered crazy because if you act like people want to rub shoulders with everyone and
00:16:24.340
act normal and you know go to the parties and they're gonna be and success is not normal
00:16:29.300
what's success is extraordinary number five is being consistent consistency consistency is is
00:16:36.200
one of the most important parts and that comes with having a good work ethic and i think everything
00:16:40.180
else that i said falls into that but most people will they'll have they'll take all the other
00:16:45.120
boxes they'll be obsessed with an idea they know what it's going to look like they have a vision
00:16:49.420
good plan but then they give up yeah they give up and then they go back because the temptations of
00:16:54.900
like one of the biggest attractors of being a man is simple pleasures you know a guy will have all
00:17:00.680
these things lined up and then a six will show up and like you're gonna really throw away your
00:17:06.480
whole dreams and aspirations for a six and it happens more often than you would even imagine
00:17:11.480
or simple dope like watching the game like drinking a beer at the end of work and then
00:17:17.560
you get slow and then you make an excuse and then like well i worked all day and now i'm tired so
00:17:21.320
i'm gonna drink a beer and then it becomes a routine and then you lose the consistency comfort
00:17:25.600
yeah yeah the comfort zone the comfort zone is is a is a giant trap so if you're not consistent with
00:17:31.840
your delusional practical goal then you're gonna fall into that comfort trap man and that place
00:17:40.580
that i think you should be scared of that i think you should this is uh i made a lot of videos about
00:17:46.420
this when i was 14 like my biggest fear i always said was being normal my biggest fear was giving
00:17:52.700
up on my dreams and my biggest fear was living with regret looking back at my life looking back
00:17:56.840
at my past and thinking like man i really could have done this i could have done that a certain
00:18:00.720
way i should have done this i know i don't want to live and shut up i don't want to look at my past
00:18:04.980
and regret i don't want to look at my past and be like oh if only i worked harder if only i took
00:18:10.560
that step i would rather take the risk and fail than live a comfortable life for 50 years yeah
00:18:17.720
facts so let's say you know um it's interesting that you said crazy actually because these are
00:18:24.500
like out of five most like cliche traits to be successful yours were quite interesting especially
00:18:30.320
the one that says crazy this is there's a quote from steve jobs actually where he says the people
00:18:34.040
who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones that do and even even says
00:18:38.480
it takes a crazy person to step out of the normal scene that's the definition of crazy is somebody
00:18:43.480
who's acting out of the ordinary so everybody could be driving one way on the highway and
00:18:49.060
everyone that's that's that's fine but until there's a car accident that's when everybody
00:18:52.720
turns their head and everybody's looking to see because it's out of the ordinary and it's different
00:18:57.360
and there's something there and people are interested in that nobody cares about everybody
00:19:00.800
the car it's just routine every same thing okay blah but something someone switched up man someone
00:19:07.560
was trying to get to work in a different way somebody was trying to go and drive a supercar
00:19:12.000
through the road it's it's it's a crazy person that will stand out they'll stand out yeah yeah
00:19:17.680
by the way guys uh shout out to the studio operator her name is fatima oh now's the perfect
00:19:23.120
time to to ask you the question if you're not too shy so what is it like wearing a hijab every day
00:19:31.240
i feel like in every aspect in every regard it's truly and purposely representing my religion
00:19:39.200
at first it was tough and it was hard and it was strange to be um different from people in that
00:19:47.640
moment because you're wearing the scarf and others around you aren't and they're getting
00:19:51.380
to show their hair and you know they get attention in different ways um but do you crave that type
00:19:57.620
of attention still yes here and there how do you scratch that itch i just remind myself that i'm
00:20:05.840
doing it for the good purpose are you forced to wear the job or do you wear it because you want
00:20:09.180
to i'm not forced to wear it i wear it because i want to but naturally there are so many that
00:20:15.500
are forced there's been so many people who've worn it and have felt forced and then they have
00:20:20.460
to go behind their parents back and take it off what do you think about girls that show their hair
00:20:25.180
um honestly i feel like for example muslim girls who show their hair i think when they are prepared
00:20:35.740
and when they are ready is when they should wear it i don't think they should put it on when they're
00:20:39.920
not ready because when they aren't ready then they're not doing it for the sole purpose of
00:20:44.360
pleasing the person who's up there but for pleasing their parents or the people around them
00:20:48.760
what about like the woke girls who don't even if they're they're not muslim just girls who go around
00:20:54.740
in bikinis sewing their bodies altering their faces getting bbl what do you think of that sort
00:21:00.680
of culture in regards to the hijab like wearing the scarf you mean not not specifically but i
00:21:06.960
mean you live your life very differently than a lot of girls that i'm around the girls that i'm
00:21:11.640
around in miami and new york and la these they're they're it's actually funny because because you
00:21:16.520
wear a job and you're trying to block yourself from that type of attention that type of attention
00:21:21.420
is their entire life so they they that's their that's what drives them it's their it literally
00:21:29.180
they breathe male attention they need to be seen all the time what do you think about those types
00:21:34.700
of women well i think that can go both ways for men and women just because it's in human nature
00:21:42.160
to crave attention but it's it's sad when people go out of their way to crave it you know like
00:21:49.140
they try too hard yeah they try too hard like you can um you don't have to wear the scarf but you
00:21:55.080
can be modest in other ways you know what i mean but us wearing the scarf shows that we're modest
00:22:00.720
in all ways it's nice to have you talk about it you know because there's a lot of men talking
00:22:05.740
about it online and you know like girls who don't wear their job talking about it so it's nice to
00:22:10.220
have someone who wears their job giving her actual thoughts about it yeah do you have any final
00:22:15.020
questions for it why not a burqa sorry why why don't you wear a burqa that covers your face
00:22:21.900
yeah you don't need to by the way i don't wear that yeah okay i solely don't wear it because
00:22:26.780
it's annoying it's very annoying it's really hot it it gets so first of all wearing the hijab itself
00:22:33.400
gets hot because we have to cover everywhere so being covered always you you're in situations
00:22:39.540
for example living in the ewe you're always hot so to put on and yeah to put on another thing
00:22:45.620
that's going to cover my face fully um and it's we don't have to wear it in our religion if we did
00:22:52.380
then i would be wearing one definitely i have one more question sure would you be able to be
00:22:58.860
married to a man that wants four wives genuine question i really wanted to ask this
00:23:03.660
it's not for me no i wouldn't marry someone who's married to four wives because
00:23:09.940
would you marry someone who's well that's that's haram that's haram yes but it's her choice in
00:23:17.500
islam it's her choice yeah in islam it's my choice if i want to get married to someone who
00:23:22.100
wants four wives or not or more than one wife why not i want the attention all to myself
00:23:28.100
so what about three wives and you're the first one the other two they're like a little less
00:23:33.360
well no they have to be equally important i mean in islam this this rule came about to be because
00:23:40.320
of the men who went out to war and were dying and they needed you know one man wasn't equivalent to
00:23:47.100
one woman it was one man equivalent to many women because of the men that were dying in war so now
00:23:53.780
that we don't have that issue not all of our men are going to war my personal preference would be
00:24:02.060
because I want him to have all his focus on me.
00:24:14.280
The fact that he's already asking is enough of an answer.
00:24:22.760
then in that moment I'll have to talk it out with him
00:24:25.940
and see what we'll do depending whether or not we have children
00:24:57.900
That's why we just started off this conversation.
00:24:59.580
But I grew up when kids would go into the mirror and say Bloody Mary five times because
00:25:03.280
they were like trying to summon the devil for fun.
00:25:05.840
And you realize like this is kind of messed up.
00:25:07.840
It's messed up that people do it just for entertainment.
00:25:10.520
But look how important it is to not say those words in Islam.
00:25:14.420
When you get divorced, you have to give 50 half and you go to a court case in Islam.
00:25:22.880
And there's like split, there's two ways so they don't get half.
00:25:25.360
But there's like ways depending on certain circumstances
00:25:41.060
Before getting into a marriage in the first place
00:26:12.820
because they said that women shouldn't be educated.
00:26:27.000
They shouldn't be bringing any of that stuff into the religion
00:26:29.200
because in Islam, it doesn't say that you force your religion upon others.
00:26:34.620
I have been defending the Taliban every day on stream.
00:26:43.960
Bro, is that your first time talking to a woman wearing hijab in your life?
00:26:48.880
Do you think that there's no Muslim women in America?
00:26:59.260
Has anyone ever asked you if you're shower wearing it?
00:27:13.340
So, you spoke about a lot of things when you were mentioning about happiness.
00:27:35.480
When you say that it just makes you feel better
00:27:45.760
I stepped into the prayer room in the hotel, uh, yesterday morning and you could just feel
00:27:51.060
the positive energy in there. I've never even stepped in a Muslim prayer room. I stepped in
00:27:55.900
here and I was just imagining all the people who are praying and you could almost feel the words
00:27:59.940
in the air of all the positive things that people were and how appreciative people were of the world
00:28:05.240
and of God. So it really is powerful. And in a way it's magic. It's hypnosis. It's like,
00:28:12.160
it's casting a spell on yourself and your mind and the people around you with simple words like
00:28:16.080
that. It has an effect. If I can say the word brother, before I speak to you and you act
00:28:20.960
differently because I said that word, that's hypnosis. So I don't, I never allow that. I know
00:28:28.480
with the internet, how much communication that we are used to now, that type of language and
00:28:34.360
those types of thoughts are way more common than they've ever been. Especially for influencers
00:28:39.760
and people who are chronically online, which is pretty much like I would say 90% of the people
00:28:44.100
watching, you're seeing negativity more than anybody has ever seen. And it has an effect on
00:28:49.540
you. So there's a couple of ways you can go about it. You can either ignore it completely,
00:28:53.180
or you can just realize it for what it is and not let it affect you and just decide that you're
00:28:58.660
happy, decide that you know who you are, what you want to do, have a clear purpose. And then people
00:29:02.920
who spread negativity, people who go back and forth, people who say nasty things, it has no
00:29:07.720
effect on you because you are secure with yourself that makes a lot of sense but i guess for somebody
00:29:12.960
who's struggling let's say that they constantly have negative self-talk how do you go about
00:29:17.840
changing that self-talk or how do you go about pushing the negative thoughts out of your head
00:29:21.900
i think the most important thing is faith i think it's it's defining having clear goals if you can
00:29:28.420
if you can't see five years into the future then you're going to be very susceptible to have
00:29:34.000
negative thoughts right now because you don't see a clear purpose. You have no meaning. Nothing
00:29:38.220
matters. If nothing matters, then that's when you allow negativity in your life. You, for example,
00:29:44.220
I could tell that you have very clear destinations that you want to be at in the future. You want to
00:29:50.340
have a family. You need to have a definitive path that you want to follow. And if you teeter off
00:29:56.700
that path, then that's when you need to correct it. But a lot of people live very meaningless
00:30:01.240
lives because everything our attention spans are much shorter now so we only see five seconds
00:30:06.380
into the future and we care more about attention we care more about dopamine we care more about
00:30:11.080
the opinions of others and that's when you're that's when you become extremely unhappy if
00:30:16.160
everything is about for five seconds or about somebody what they think about your outfit do
00:30:20.440
they care about my hair do they care about the way i when you're really in tune with those things
00:30:24.700
and you're living for other people's validation you're going to be unhappy yeah and i know this
00:30:28.880
for you i noticed that being funny is a big part of your brand you know your i guess your mantra
00:30:34.040
is seek truth through funny yeah and where does that come from why is being funny so important to
00:30:40.020
you and why is that why do you give that so much importance do you feel like laughter is like the
00:30:45.040
best medicine is like the cure for modern day society i i think that's true but i think that's
00:30:51.380
just how i found truth if you cannot entertain if you are not relatable through humor if you're not
00:30:58.860
capable of communicating humor i think is like the most genuine form of communication yeah like
00:31:03.820
all day we're we went in the sand and i was with fresh and fit carlos sterling and we were hanging
00:31:10.760
out with a lot of tate's team recently and when the cameras are off we are blatantly racist like
00:31:17.380
just brutally like fresh as black and i'm like whipping him with my with my goodness camera
00:31:22.780
quarter calling him a slave and then you know i'm half asian so he's calling me chinese and just
00:31:28.440
you know saying i'm gonna give him covid there's stupid stuff like that uh earlier he called me
00:31:33.360
taco tate and i just called him the n-word and the whole thing everybody in the everybody in the van
00:31:38.300
uh i can't recreate it right now perfectly he like he's like you're taco tate and i said
00:31:42.680
you're n-word fresh and just like just saying it like that it's not as funny now but everyone in
00:31:47.960
the van laughed everyone erupted but nobody is racist you know it's different when you're friends
00:31:52.780
though yeah you don't hate but that is the most genuine form of communication because you know i
00:31:59.180
consider all these people friends i i get and i wouldn't do that to a random person i think that
00:32:04.160
being able to break those boundaries down and communicate based and not care about judgment
00:32:09.600
because you know that you guys are actually friends i think that that's genuine and if you
00:32:14.260
if you aren't capable of doing that that's why i really am so tired of being around woke people
00:32:19.060
And I'm glad I'm in Dubai, like away from the wokeness.
00:32:23.440
But liberal people are like, no, I don't see color.
00:32:34.960
We don't need to pretend like there aren't cultural differences.
00:32:37.300
That's the reason that people are interesting to speak to.
00:32:39.160
But they're just so scared to be like politically correct.
00:32:42.180
There's this blanket covering them of political correctness that keeps them
00:32:46.200
enable of being funny of being genuine of having a real conversation and it's insufferable to be
00:32:52.280
around like stop acting like like everybody is exactly the same we our differences make us
00:32:59.060
human like we're asking the question about the hijab earlier because you know and you're like
00:33:04.840
have you even met one of these people before like everybody's everybody leads different lives
00:33:08.720
and your differences should bring you together if i if i was exactly the same as everybody else
00:33:43.900
tutorial is that just natural for you or did you pick that up i it wasn't it's not really that
00:33:48.900
intentional but i noticed when i'm expressing myself honestly just like i'm just getting it
00:33:52.800
yeah yeah but it's good because it helps it's more engaging there you go i mean that that's
00:33:58.080
that's part of the mantra too if i was just sitting here like yeah it's okay to be funny because
00:34:02.640
i like to be funny next question if i'm just stiff like you want to engage with the person
00:34:09.540
around you yeah did you pick up on these social things do you have to learn them or did it just
00:34:13.220
come natural to you you have to you have to learn them I I came from the gaming world which is kind
00:34:18.640
of autistic and it's I didn't socialize as much as I do now when I was younger like when I first
00:34:24.300
started YouTube I wasn't I was social but I was I was pretty shy and I didn't honestly express
00:34:31.160
myself to a lot of people YouTube but now you're like over analyzing my body language but I wasn't
00:34:36.320
I wasn't that social in in life and in school and so YouTube was my way when I turned on the camera
00:34:42.120
and i was speaking to people online that was my way of honestly expressing myself and then when
00:34:46.680
people saw that they kind of saw me they saw this persona that created sneeko that became who i was
00:34:53.020
because i didn't know how to properly express myself and be myself and try to be funny because
00:34:58.340
i was so afraid of judgment all the time was that because you were different because you were asian
00:35:02.020
not even that really like there's so many reasons but i think ultimately it wasn't because of being
00:35:06.960
Asian or because of other things it was just fear of judgment it was I was I'm being online all this
00:35:14.760
time I developed this this fear of judgment I was always analyzing like how people view me
00:35:20.800
that was a big part of the way that my my worldview was created because I was always
00:35:27.260
thinking like for the longest time I didn't have social media because even turning on like
00:35:32.020
Instagram and taking a picture it's like well I'm only doing this because I'm thinking about
00:35:36.060
how people are going to think about the picture i'm not doing it because i genuinely like others
00:35:40.160
i'm doing it because i i'm thinking about how other people are going to perceive it
00:35:44.140
which brings it takes away a layer of the genuine aspect of creating it in the first place like we
00:35:50.360
were just in the desert and then people around like we were spending more time like picking the
00:35:55.320
song for their instagram story we're in the desert beautiful enjoy the moment enjoy the moment like
00:36:18.080
Yeah, that was the way I formulated my worldview.
00:36:30.080
living for other people and i think that that's something that our generation is way more accustomed
00:36:35.720
to especially people calling you the vlogger kid like that's stuck with you yeah that's something
00:36:40.020
that other generations have not experienced at all and it's it's it needs to be talked about more
00:36:45.440
yeah because everybody's getting into this and people you know people that i think that that's
00:36:50.820
a big leading cause of depression uh because comparison is the thief of joy true and yeah
00:36:57.200
it can it can it could be a black hole of attention seeking you mentioned your younger
00:37:02.180
brother um you said that he's 22 okay so that means you guys are like one year apart 18 months
00:37:09.800
18 months all right and that's pretty close how's your relationship with him we were best friends
00:37:17.100
for the longest time and i trust well for the longest time i trusted his feedback more than
00:37:22.700
anybody's judgment like before like is this cringe like just showing him because your brother is a
00:37:27.160
really valuable if you're speaking to business terms is a really valuable asset to have because
00:37:31.100
they're going to be brutally honest with you that's the people that you can really only trust
00:37:35.340
more than anybody else is your family is he floating your footsteps no we we lead completely
00:37:40.540
different lives now um there was a time yeah we we do completely different things so we don't talk
00:37:46.600
as much as we used to um but i i do want to create business with them and i do want to keep working
00:37:51.800
with them because if you have a brother close in age like you need to i think it's very important
00:37:56.320
to stay uh in close contact with them andrew and tristan uh tate they really made me realize how
00:38:02.360
important that is because a lot of people like like how do you lead lives like like how do you
00:38:06.740
able to like oh just because tristan's always around and if you have your brother around you
00:38:11.060
like there's even studies that show like your testosterone levels stay higher if you when you
00:38:15.180
start to live when you're in a female environment if you're around babies and girls and women all
00:38:19.540
the time you're gonna be like you're gonna put on an apron you're gonna start doing females
00:38:24.060
thing you're going to be oh it's okay oh are you okay are you okay and then your energy gets low
00:38:30.820
but if i'm around my brother all the time and competing and we're competing and he's calling
00:38:35.660
me slurs and i'm being racist to him and stuff like that and we're we're doing he's like do
00:38:40.320
push-ups right now and you have to do it you're challenging each other i'm not going to tell my
00:38:44.600
wife 250 push-ups right now it's it's a different type of atmosphere so that's a very important
00:38:49.680
thing to have but right now we're just we're leading different lives uh he's still in school
00:38:54.520
but you told me off camera that you guys are not so close to i don't know if you want to if you
00:38:59.500
want to get into it a bit yeah because we just lead different lives right now yeah we're just
00:39:03.340
on on different paths but it must be difficult for him to see you obviously like you know reach
00:39:08.320
where you have in almost the same time i don't that's not what it is we're just on a different
00:39:13.820
trajectory okay you know and doing this all the time you become very self-involved it's hard to
00:39:21.320
like i noticed that just talking to uh someone else i did mo i just did a podcast with him
00:39:26.180
like it's weird youtubers are just like social media people are so like jittery yeah and that's
00:39:34.040
all they think about and it's hard to to stay and like i i saw how jittery he was just on a podcast
00:39:39.660
looking at the car oh yeah yeah all the time like it's like bro i'm trying to like he you're
00:39:44.660
interviewing me right now and imagine him having a conversation like with his grandma you know
00:39:50.880
it's it's but you need to show a level of compassion and when you're this this world is so
00:39:58.440
fast yeah so when you step out of it it's uh you you can get wrapped up into it but that's why it's
00:40:05.020
good to that's why i'm kind of glad that i got banned in a way and glad that uh that uh breaks
00:40:10.560
are breaks are very necessary you need to step out of it sometimes go to the real world be around
00:40:16.580
real people have conversations slow down because this is fast pace and sometimes like i'll talk to
00:40:21.680
my family and i'm just thinking about like the comments like what is it why did that guy say
00:40:25.340
what did this guy say and like they're thinking you know not even overthinking but just too wrapped
00:40:30.440
up in in the the blah blah blah blah blah world on your phone so it has nothing to do really with
00:40:37.040
like anything that got you got you yeah you get you get stuck into this world man but that's what
00:40:43.120
happens when you're driven when you're fully focused uh it's even right now like almost all
00:40:48.820
the relationships i have it's we're always making some sort of money together they're very they're
00:40:54.820
all relationships and almost all conversations i have are transactional in some sense now there's
00:40:59.920
something that we're both benefit benefiting off of but with like my family it's like we're not
00:41:04.380
really there's no like they don't monetize the conversation with your family so it's like when
00:41:10.500
you're so used to that you need to step out of that sometimes too you said you were happy right
00:41:14.460
now is this the happiest moment in your life or have there been times when you've been happier
00:41:18.620
what's the happiest moment of your life it's hard to answer that question because what is a moment
00:41:53.340
that was still that moment like when i finally hit that after one yeah after all the years yeah
00:42:01.500
being called cringe for so long in the doubt i guess when you hit a million that's when like
00:42:05.000
you've made it like you you know that this is what you you can't no i didn't even really it was it
00:42:09.760
was a lot of it was the relief because i was at like 950 for so long and i had like 900 for a
00:42:15.080
long time it was just fine like i finally did it like i you know no one could really i guess
00:42:20.080
in a sense that in a way it's like yeah i made it yeah what about your status moment what was
00:42:25.220
your status moment getting removed or no the status well you yeah you asked me this last time
00:42:30.720
and i didn't really have a clear answer did i yeah you asked i say it's hard like status moment
00:42:36.460
in my life like maybe when a relative passed but status moment in my entrepreneurial career
00:42:42.640
was you know actually what it was what it wasn't right when i got banned it's when i came back
00:42:48.680
from Romania and I was in my apartment and this is kind of melancholy I kind of I have this deep
00:42:54.620
artist thing in me because I kind of treasure those sad moments when I have moments like that
00:42:58.540
I'm like this is actually this is what life's all about you feel like you're in a movie yeah
00:43:02.440
you're looking out the window it wasn't that you know what it was uh I just got terminated my dad
00:43:08.400
was saying like could you find all your old videos and then I had to load up my old computer because
00:43:13.040
I just had a new computer and I was looking and I was trying to find the old videos and I was
00:43:16.900
looking through the and like not all of the videos were loading and then like a lot of them
00:43:20.800
were gone and I was thinking about all those lost memories I started reflecting about all the time
00:43:24.080
I spent into this how they took it all away how we're probably not going to find these videos
00:43:28.040
anymore and I was just looking like looking through my hard drive trying to collect memories
00:43:32.680
years of videos it wasn't even videos I was in that the reason it was like the most melancholy
00:43:37.680
sad moment was because I was looking for memories that in that moment even though I found them
00:43:43.420
they're all in the creativity kit now but in that moment i'm like all these memories are gone
00:43:47.160
like all this time if you had yeah it was like because memories are what makes you who you are
00:43:53.460
yeah you're just a collection of memories and a lot of it was documented online for so long that's
00:43:58.080
what i treated it as at that moment of looking through my hard drive and then like i can't find
00:44:02.480
it and then calling this and then plug in the other hard drive it was it was kind of like it
00:44:06.120
was kind of dope remind that was like a movie scene like trying it's like if someone trying
00:44:10.840
to repair a broken relationship you're trying to put the pieces together but it's just not working
00:44:14.440
yeah but that was cool i i love moments like that man i like to feel did your dad look at you
00:44:19.100
did he say like he wasn't there he was on the phone i called him up like like do you have a
00:44:22.840
hard drive and he's like i can't find these videos like did you try this one and i'm looking through
00:44:26.740
it and then and then i found like snippets of old like the b-roll that i shot or like a folder
00:44:32.620
of the audio but not the video and then i was like remembering all the like all the all-nighters i put
00:44:38.480
in all the time i spent all all this energy that i put into into one thing and it was not about the
00:44:44.160
money it was really just about expressing myself and i had an online diary and then like it's gone
00:44:50.200
it's that's when it really said that it's gone even though it's not it's on the creativity kit
00:44:56.220
but in that moment it's like you thought it was gone i thought it was gone yeah but that was cool
00:45:01.780
yeah i love that what about like you said you wanted to be a youtuber who did you watch growing
00:45:07.880
up that made you want like who was your inspiration it was all of them i think the biggest inspirations
00:45:13.680
were nigahiga growing up oh man that guy was funny nigahiga kev jumbo man he has those videos like
00:45:21.300
we used to do all those puns yeah i used to always get me he was really creative with it
00:45:25.200
so he kind of fell off yeah i mean he does a podcast i don't know if he fell off he just
00:45:30.360
stopped doing the videos parkour yeah hardcore parkour yeah it was so funny like he was he
00:45:35.680
was extremely creative anything funny yeah he inspired me like he added a bunch of like singing
00:45:40.020
skits there was comedy there was different camera angles like just stupid things that you could do
00:45:44.960
with the camera he really revolutionized what you could do on youtube he went through something
00:45:49.740
a depression though or something no like where he took like a big time off and see this is the
00:45:53.300
problem man like you know what he talked about he used to talk about adhd he used to have this show
00:45:57.600
where you talk about off the pill and he would just talk about his mental health for a while
00:46:00.920
i think if you start believing that you have mental health problems that's when you're gonna
00:46:04.480
to have mental health problems. I don't think he ever should have said that I have ADHD. And for
00:46:09.620
a while, he made me believe that too. But they said the same thing. I said, I have ADHD. I don't
00:46:15.180
believe it's real. And my life is better like that. I'm never going to have to... And I don't
00:46:19.300
want to disrespect therapy. A lot of people do need it. A lot of people who are traumatized,
00:46:24.820
therapy is genuinely necessary. But my point in talking about this is that mental health is
00:46:29.540
talked about too much. It's better to not talk about it. It used to be something that people
00:46:33.020
were embarrassed about it used to be something that people kept secret they're like i'm working
00:46:36.700
on they wouldn't want to tell people now people make it their personality trait nikahiga made a
00:46:41.640
whole show about i'm off the pill i have adhd people put it in their bio on twitter depressed
00:46:47.540
depressed with two stars like ironically calling themselves depressed they make it who they are
00:46:53.440
and that's going to make you even more depressed it's better to go and try to not even imagine
00:46:59.560
that as a possibility yeah definitely you should not put depression nearby but i think to discuss
00:47:03.900
mental health is maybe one of the good things that's happening now i feel like if if like
00:47:09.460
andrew even talks about it i don't think we should even frame it like let's discuss mental health
00:47:14.380
i think you should go a step deeper and figure out like why what are your mental health like
00:47:19.280
what's causing you to even think that you have mental health problems it's never something that
00:47:23.100
you just catch from the sky there's always a reason there's something that's that's not right
00:47:27.500
in your life if somebody who's completely happy and there's no trauma and everybody you're not
00:47:31.760
going to have random mental health anxiety problems stuff like that there's a reason you
00:47:36.280
have anxiety you have a lack of control in your life something is making decisions for you that
00:47:40.960
you are not comfortable with something is happening that you can't let's say if you went through an
00:47:44.420
incident where something really bad happened it was nothing you could have done to control it
00:47:48.960
something extremely bad happened to you i think for that person yeah of course talk about it and
00:47:53.840
with their friends you know they can discuss but that's not who i'm talking about yeah like i've
00:47:58.020
been on haram tinder a little bit while i'm here like people girls will like be like i'm depressed
00:48:02.800
like it's quirky like you didn't go through it became a trend real trauma it became something
00:48:08.060
fun to add because they have nothing else to their personality so real trauma is a problem man but
00:48:14.120
that i agree with don't make it define you yeah that i agree it's gonna make it worse if you had
00:48:18.740
to pick one youtuber one person in this space who you feel like would become a billionaire
00:48:24.080
who who's most likely mr beast 100 yeah i think he almost already is yeah he got offered a billion
00:48:29.900
dollars for everything he said no i think iman gaji as well iman gaji he's close with the software
00:48:35.640
company that he's doing like that's like a real like nine figure player i think that's really
00:48:38.960
sick and you know i'm as well i had a podcast with him you did yeah let me ask you something
00:49:12.820
If I could attribute all my success to one thing, it would be hanging out with the right people.
00:49:17.420
Whenever I've tried to hang out with, let's say, older people, for example, more...
00:49:22.400
Just people in general that are older than me that are really doing well in life,
00:49:26.960
You can't help but be successful if you're around all successful people.
00:49:30.120
If you're around all Fortnite players, are you going to play Fortnite?
00:49:35.580
If you're around a bunch of millionaires, it's like, oops.
00:49:41.100
that was uh very mind-opening and i i had been thinking about it a lot man
00:49:48.000
does he have something wrong with him or is he completely stable there's nothing wrong with him
00:49:52.100
okay that was uh because he was so analytical and i could tell he was judging me so much
00:49:58.700
and analyzing my behavior a lot and how did you contact him how did he get in touch with you
00:50:04.820
Through Milo and Milo Yiannopoulos, he was a former campaign manager, and he knew about me from Nick Fuentes.
00:50:12.960
He streams on cozy.tv slash Nick, America First.
00:50:16.500
It's just like far-right politics, the people who want to bring Christianity back.
00:50:21.820
He really admires the Taliban and Muslim culture because he's like, all the women should have burqas here.
00:50:28.960
i think a lot of christians who are actually christian are in a sense envious of how how
00:50:36.260
strongly uh muslims hold on to their faith yeah because like it's just falling apart i'm getting
00:50:42.640
to that so yeah that that's how i got aligned with them was was talking to these people because
00:50:46.840
kanye west is also far right so but working with him like because of course it was for the politics
00:50:54.620
for EA24, but he has a creative mind and he's just like, I could tell like every second I was
00:51:01.340
talking to him was like a test. And so to this day, I think about it constantly, like, like what
00:51:07.980
he, what he said and everything that, uh, that I learned from him and our interactions and stuff
00:51:13.580
like that. And what I would learn in the brainstorming sessions. What is the best thing
00:51:16.520
you learned from him? Like doing that or the things that stand out? The best thing I learned
00:51:20.800
from him was he saw me as a, as a social media, like in the beginning, like I made a really
00:51:27.600
good impression on him. And then as I started getting more comfortable and being not trying
00:51:33.820
to like impress him, he saw that I'm like a social media guy. And that made me realize
00:51:41.020
how much that can define your personality and be off putting to people who don't care
00:51:48.360
about stuff like that i mean of course he knows he's a master at garnering attention yeah but
00:51:54.700
it made me step back a lot and and analyze how much social media has affected my personality
00:52:01.440
yeah so i didn't like that you were a social media guy or like no i that that didn't that
00:52:06.960
would but just certain things he said in conversations like that was kind of cloudy of
00:52:10.900
you like cloudy like and i was like yeah at first i'm like that was not uh because it was it was
00:52:17.880
not for any reason that would make sense to you right now in this conversation but it was just
00:52:22.560
like the way i said certain things he's like that was a cloudy thing to say and i've been thinking
00:52:27.620
about it since then about how it was and that's made me like rethink my my view of the world and
00:52:34.440
and also like look going back to my philosophy about a philosophy of how people view you and how
00:52:39.960
living for other people's validation and thinking a lot about that that uh he i think he he picked
00:52:46.040
up on that very quickly yeah how do you set your mind free you stop caring yeah you have to stop
00:52:53.500
caring about you have to stop caring what people think about you yeah i think that's that's the
00:52:59.180
biggest one of course you have to like present yourself in the best way you can in order to
00:53:03.560
to have the best opportunities good reputation and yeah you have to in every aspect of your life it's
00:53:10.200
it's better if you present yourself in the best way i guess you can do the best you can and then
00:53:44.580
in a good way i'm saying like you're comfortable in your own skin you're you seem like you're the
00:53:48.180
tough guy like yourself not completely right now i saw your eyes linger over here and i was wondering
00:53:52.780
if you saw that like i picked my nails yeah that's what you're noticing i used to that before i
00:53:57.940
recently quit yeah i saw you you draw your eyes to there and then i put my hand here and then i
00:54:01.300
started covering it and that's me not being comfortable in my skin yeah so i do this when
00:54:05.520
i'm thinking a lot and so i itch it and then i didn't want you to keep looking at it so i just
00:54:09.500
hit it so that's literally me not being comfortable in my skin if i was completely comfortable i
00:54:13.620
No, but I mean like you seem like you just been here.
00:54:16.960
You have a good relationship with yourself in general.
00:54:19.400
Whether you do something like this, it's like a small coping mechanism.
00:54:22.100
But ultimately, I feel like you do have a good relationship with yourself.
00:54:27.500
A lot of people, they don't have this kind of, like they cannot just sit here and talk.
00:54:31.960
Or like, I've witnessed you around other people.
00:54:37.960
How do you grow in that self-love is the question.
00:54:43.300
I think it's a compound effect with everything in your life.
00:54:45.780
Doing the right thing, having the right relationships, being proud of your work, not letting a lot of people have control over what you do, having good finances, everything set up correctly, you have a good future ahead of you.
00:55:02.700
If you're anxious or if you're overthinking about other things, like if you don't have running water, then I'm not going to be that comfortable in social situations.
00:55:09.480
I'm thinking about how am I going to go and drink water before I sleep today.
00:55:12.220
i'm gonna be i'm not gonna be fully present yeah the best way to to love yourself and to be
00:55:17.440
confident is to be able to be present in the moment right now and the best way to be present
00:55:23.060
is to be secure in every other aspect of life and so it's a compound effect it's not one certain
00:55:27.820
thing you have to do the right thing over a long time and then eventually you'll be in that place
00:55:32.900
yeah and do you pick all your fingers just this one i can't believe you notice that people usually
00:55:38.060
just look away from it i used to the same thing before yeah i've been doing it my whole life and
00:55:42.060
i i don't think i'm gonna stop but it's better than the nails you do the nails as well yeah
00:55:46.120
mostly my cuticles it's something that i'm not conscious of like i i just do it i'm not even
00:55:51.180
thinking about it it's become habit for my whole life i used to do it here and then i quit because
00:55:55.820
it was noticeable so i started doing it the weirdest thing i started picking my heel
00:55:59.120
i don't know why yeah like i can't see it yeah so i used to like at night like i'd be sitting
00:57:33.140
you're from haiti haitian yeah my dad's from haiti this one i got when i was 20 it's filipino flag
00:57:38.980
my mom's from the philippines got this one when i was 21 have this giant scar it's kind of same
00:57:45.380
as like that one andras yeah no i got it first okay no i didn't i don't know i mean before
00:57:51.080
whatever but i had this this giant surgery scar right here you see that so i'm like let me get
00:57:55.660
a dragon coming from the scar it actually goes perfectly into the thing yeah that's like this
00:58:00.060
camera yeah so it goes from the scar into the dragon so i'm like why do you have the scar uh
00:58:05.540
it's just stupid shit man it's like a giant surgery okay this one is uh it was my logo on
00:58:12.220
my clothes so basically none of them have any real meaning it's just like i'm joking well yeah i mean
00:58:17.500
this one for a while i i kind of go back and forth about evolution yeah i know that religious people
00:58:22.740
don't believe in it and i've been talking a lot about that but when i see videos of monkeys and
00:58:26.400
gorillas the way they interact and their facial expressions it's hard for me to believe that we
00:58:30.080
didn't come from them yeah like if you just look at any videos and their their body language and
00:58:35.960
their facial expressions and the way they talk to each other it's like these were the same yeah and
00:58:40.720
so this one was like a reminder there's people that say that one good point they make about
00:58:45.060
evolution is they say if we were evolved from monkeys then how come we're not evolving anymore
00:58:49.660
like how come we're the human is basically the same right now it's been for that you know why
00:58:53.860
aren't we becoming like evolving continuously you know yeah because maybe there was one tribe
00:58:59.620
of monkeys that was more developed and then they separated and left the jungle but doesn't mean
00:59:03.100
that every all of them have to leave i'm not gonna go like a whole evolution thing right now
00:59:06.560
but this one just like i got as a reminder i was taking a lot of psychedelics at the time like
00:59:09.880
to act based on our biology you know some evolution garbage but i like it and i like
00:59:16.580
monkeys a lot i kind of look like one yeah do you have a lot of close friends how many like
00:59:21.440
what's your circle like is it many people how do you how do you select your friends i mean i have a
00:59:26.160
lot of friends from back in new york but you know it's just i mean close friends like real friends
00:59:31.720
yeah that's what i'm saying like my close friends are are in new york but we we don't spend as much
00:59:36.820
time any together anymore because we just have different lead different lives they have their
00:59:41.760
own jobs their own girlfriends they're in new york i live in miami so it's just i would say
00:59:46.660
that those are my closest friends but i i don't see them as much anymore obviously i would say
00:59:50.540
I spent a lot of time with the fresh and fit guys.
00:59:53.220
And now I'm at the point where your friendships need to have some sort of mutual gain.
00:59:58.760
Like, cause you, when you want to be this successful, you need to be doing something
01:00:04.940
If not working, are we going to be hanging out, playing Fortnite or are we going to be
01:00:14.260
Do we believe in the same thing so we could talk about the same things?
01:00:16.780
like the friendships i have now they end up falling into my lap because you know we're
01:00:21.420
working on the same things i feel you what do you think is the biggest challenge facing humanity
01:00:25.380
today one the biggest challenge facing humanity i was about to say wokeism but that's pretty
01:00:32.000
specific to the western world and it alienates a giant portion of the world that has nothing to do
01:00:36.780
with that but there you go i mean wokeism might even start world war three it does lensky just
01:00:41.480
announced that he might declare world war three if china joins russia and i think that they use
01:00:47.480
the woke ideology to get people's support world war three though himself yeah it's not really
01:00:53.060
himself there's the democratic parties involved and nato the globalist agenda but they're not part
01:00:58.760
of nato ukraine are not part of nato yeah but nato supports the war in ukraine uh they're they're a
01:01:05.660
big reason why the arms industry is right there like why they're putting military bases in ukraine
01:01:12.740
okay and they're using the woke ideology to support a lot of this globalist agenda
01:01:17.020
so i would say the virtue signaling and the wokeism and how people are manipulated based
01:01:23.300
on that ideology they they think that they're being good people but they're just using your
01:01:28.380
empathy against you in order to have ultimate control makes sense all right how do you make
01:01:32.720
more money how do you make more money you scale this is what i learned from mr beast once you
01:01:39.000
have the systems in place and once you learn how to develop your own business you need to be able
01:01:42.540
to go and delegate those roles to other people so that it starts running on its own it becomes a
01:01:46.680
machine once you learn like for example i'm a youtube well former youtuber and i make a lot
01:01:52.040
of content stuff like that once you master editing you know how to hire different editors you know
01:01:56.120
how to get a cameraman you know how to put people in place you know how to hire script writers you
01:01:59.340
know how to get copywriters for your email system. You know how to create a course in order to help
01:02:03.340
other people. You have to create the systems. Like once you master the skill, delegate it to
01:02:07.560
other people. That's the best way to scale up. That's how CEOs become successful. That most of
01:02:11.640
the CEOs, most of the people who run big tech, they started in a garage in college and then they
01:02:15.700
started having factories, bigger businesses. Mr. B, same thing. Started making Call of Duty videos
01:02:20.600
and hired a couple of employees, hired a couple more, started making these videos in different
01:02:24.520
languages you start scaling up in every single aspect possible and you focus on the vision if
01:02:30.480
you're the one developing the vision and then you can give the roles to other people then you will
01:02:35.980
surpass other people and you'll make more money you still talk to jimmy mr beast uh not really
01:02:42.000
no zero not really no never just like call them like jimmy how's it going hey jimmy it's been
01:03:20.200
They are red-pilled about this, and they would rather not talk about it and risk their platform.
01:03:24.960
It's smart, but also it's a little bit disingenuine that they know that it's going to hurt people,
01:03:29.680
that they know that their audience could do better with that information.
01:03:33.260
They choose to keep it private because they don't want to get canceled.
01:03:35.920
How do your parents feel about how much money you make?
01:03:39.200
No, they don't really speak about it that much.
01:03:41.020
I want to get to the point where I want to buy them a house.
01:03:49.200
my dad he works at a software company i think you could say oh tech guy yeah okay nice do you get
01:03:57.920
some editing advice and stuff from him no he knows nothing about editing really but he's an artist
01:04:03.520
at heart he's a photographer i have a lot of his um his photos in my in the background on my stream
01:04:07.820
if you notice like i have these red paintings these like rust people think that they're paintings
01:04:11.840
but they're actually photographs of rust that he took the guy's a very talented photographer
01:04:15.820
and but i mean he works full-time as a at a software company but that's what he's
01:04:22.300
really talented lesson he taught you the best lesson my father taught me i'll ask you some
01:04:28.400
difficult questions i'm putting on the spot yeah i think that the part of me that uh was
01:04:33.600
feeling melancholy about the videos being lost i learned that from my dad is like
01:04:38.020
a misunderstood artist like deep kind of guy where he likes to he likes to to feel things in
01:04:47.000
order to fully experience them like it said instead of letting the moment pass instead of
01:04:51.840
going on your phone instead of coping go through it and experience it because that's what life is
01:04:56.400
really about i think my dad told me that nice basically live every small moment and not even
01:05:03.200
live every small moment but i think especially the ones that make you uncomfortable and the ones
01:05:09.140
that make you sad go through it because you'll learn something from it and in a way those are
01:05:16.240
some of the most beautiful moments in life because you feel sad because on the inverse you feel happy
01:05:21.500
most of the time yeah so you should appreciate moments like that because it shows you the the
01:05:26.520
balance of life what about your mom the biggest lesson from my mom that i learned is that in the
01:05:33.920
matrix by the way sorry to ask because you kind of mentioned like he has like a nine to five and
01:05:38.260
like soft trend like you know big company it depends on what you mean by in the matrix
01:05:43.780
i mean look his his response to that would be like oh you think that messing around with all
01:05:50.260
these do you think that that's outside of the matrix and it's like that's a good response
01:05:53.800
so i i mean it's hard to say i mean there's some ideas and some things that we disagree about
01:06:01.580
politically that you i i would say online to a lot of people is inside of the matrix but
01:06:06.880
it really depends on how you define that yeah my mom the biggest lesson i would learn is to
01:06:13.980
is to be more empathetic which i think is a lesson that people learn from their their mothers a lot
01:06:19.880
is uh i learned compassion from her and i could definitely work who are you closer with your mom
01:06:25.320
or dad are you a mommy you seem like a mommy's boy no i would say i was closer with my dad growing
01:06:32.780
up it was hard to my mother and i we we disagree about so many things and everything that i that
01:06:42.780
i've done in life the path that i followed is not what she expected or really wanted for me
01:06:47.660
so we found it difficult to relate in that way because she had an idea of what i should become
01:06:54.640
a vision and i rejected that pretty much completely like from a very young age so we
01:07:00.140
didn't see eye to eye in that sense of course she supported and wants me to be happy and stuff like
01:07:04.300
that but if she would have it her way i'd be a doctor probably or i would be i would be working
01:07:11.680
a nine to five and and not being loud and abrasive and known for controversy and stuff like that
01:07:17.060
online i wouldn't be a polarizing internet figure i would have uh i'd be more quiet yeah first three
01:07:23.740
practical ways that someone watching this right now could go ahead and improving their lives like
01:07:27.900
improving themselves sorry gym every day is the first one if you don't know what you want to do
01:07:32.460
wake up in the morning go to the gym number one two have a clear purpose and i think the best way
01:07:38.380
to do that is to have some sort of faith praying to god every single day has made my life extremely
01:07:42.940
has just given it another level of meaning the third one to improve your life stop caring about
01:07:48.840
what people think to that level nice so do you journal never journal never i journal ideas down
01:07:55.180
for videos and mostly ideas but i don't document like that if i'm writing something it's with a
01:08:02.260
direct purpose yeah in mind i think for me i have like two parts of my journal one part is like
01:08:09.540
mental lump which is basically like things thoughts that are going in my head positive
01:08:13.840
negative mostly like negative like kind of like ranting or venting because they say like a problem
01:08:18.360
well stated is half the problem solved you know sometimes if i give it to give you like a normal
01:08:21.400
math equation right now it would be hard for you to calculate it in your head unless you wrote it
01:08:25.460
down and sometimes we have like these really complicated situations with like all these
01:08:29.720
different variables involved and until we write it down and look at it objectively yeah because
01:08:35.340
it's real it's actually physical when you write it down it exists exactly and the second part is
01:08:40.780
the gratitude journaling like and i think if you pray a lot you you you tend to become more grateful
01:08:46.820
because when you're like let's say for the gratitude journaling so many things happen to
01:08:52.320
us in one single day that we should be more grateful for but we don't realize and the key
01:08:56.560
and i can't learn this from hamza by the way but actually the key of because he talks a lot about
01:09:00.260
reality journaling basically when you when you graduate to journal obviously a lot of the for
01:09:06.720
like first of all after some time you you want to kind of run out of things that you could say
01:09:10.940
you'll start with the most obvious stuff you know and you have to write like long sentences for
01:09:14.180
example i love i'm grateful for my shower because when i go inside i get hot water on demand which
01:09:19.840
is kind of rare and when i'm it makes me when i get the hot water makes me feel relaxed and when
01:09:23.620
i'm relaxed i get better ideas when i get better ideas i can earn more and now every time you look
01:09:28.400
at your shower you look at it in a different way so if you write long sentences like that it really
01:09:32.780
makes everything around you look like it's a big blessing you know and over some time you kind of
01:09:38.080
run out of things to write and then you're like you're constantly just thinking about what should
01:09:41.840
i write tomorrow and that's the exact mindset that you need to be in at all times because like
01:09:45.820
if you're going about the day just looking for things to be grateful for you know so your brain
01:09:48.860
is like looking for them seeking life more yeah and you're like seeking them you know like if like
01:09:53.060
right now i'm sitting with you i'm looking like i'm constantly thinking about what should i be
01:09:56.760
grateful for you know like this relationship with the fact that we're doing this podcast right now
01:10:00.820
the fact that you don't pick your heel anymore yeah or the fact the weather is good or you know
01:10:04.060
a million different things so and then the the third benefit is like if you ever have a bad day
01:10:08.620
then you go back to the notebook and you have like 10-15 pages of just like
01:10:12.460
stuff that makes your life better so for me that was like a big big thing just getting that on
01:10:17.880
paper just awareness you know that's a good idea yeah nice anyway so i think that basically wraps
01:10:24.180
up this video would you care to give any last words to anyone watching romo.com slash nico of
01:10:29.740
course check him out there the creativity kit.com the creativity kit.com have not just content
01:10:34.820
creation i know we're speaking a lot about content creation today what can we learn about
01:10:38.080
on the creative kit you can learn about e-commerce you can learn about starting a marketing agency
01:10:44.260
you can learn about web design well and editing there's a lot of different professors in there
01:10:49.040
right now i want to add a copyright professor a copywriting professor i think that that's the new
01:10:53.400
drop shipping copywriting you know what's interesting don't tell everybody that though
01:10:57.060
i don't want to be a ton of copywriters out there it's gonna be in the video too bad
01:11:01.300
you know what's interesting though when ai was coming out like one year ago everyone was like
01:11:06.800
oh ai is gonna come out and all you guys like you guys are gonna get replaced whoever's doing
01:11:12.840
anything that's like boring but ai came on it's actually taking away all the creative jobs
01:11:18.280
they thought it was gonna take away all the the ones that don't require yeah you know what i mean
01:11:22.880
but it actually came out and started writing essays and stories and copywriting and drawings
01:11:26.780
like art because the artist thought like we're doing graphic design how is AI going to do that
01:11:30.400
and now it's like making pictures of like things you never thought you could imagine in real life
01:11:34.000
you know so it came out and shocked everybody that's actually doing the creative job it even
01:11:37.660
does copywriting to a certain extent really yeah it's good at it too I mean obviously it's it you
01:11:42.800
need to be subjective so I think there's still room for copywriters out there but yeah it is
01:11:47.080
pretty decent like I've seen some pretty good copy from it I've used it in some of our websites
01:11:55.100
I think the biggest selling point is how strong the community is and how many like-minded
01:11:59.680
people, people who want to make it out, people who want to hustle and become digital nomads,
01:12:05.400
people who want to make money online, how many people there are in the same place like-minded.
01:12:11.660
$50 a month, which I think is honestly a steal.
01:12:14.600
A lot of people, like the fact that I'm in there once a week, just scheduled, but I'm
01:12:18.060
in there almost every night and you could talk to me directly ask any question you have directly
01:12:21.300
with me for $50 I think that that's uh a lot of people would pay a lot more for that sick amazing
01:12:27.020
all right man thank you so much for your time I really appreciate it again it was sick and um
01:12:32.100
