 We're seeing even more drama pop up in the beauty community now that makeup geek just made her video talking about some of the stuff that's going on that's really not cool and a lot of people seem to think that she's talking about Manny MUA. One of the biggest issues that we face as humans is that we're constantly going into situations asking what we can get rather than give. What is up everybody? This is Chris from the Rewired Soul where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution. If you're new to my channel, my channel is all about helping you improve your mental health and a huge part of this is improving your relationships. So I'm not a drama channel but I try to take these situations going on in pop culture to try to teach you how to improve your mental health, your relationship and your lives. So if you're into that kind of stuff make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell. So my beautiful girlfriend she has gotten me into all the stuff going on in the makeup community and like I keep making videos about this because there's so many lessons to be learned that can help you yes you out with improving your relationships. So my girlfriend sent me the video from Makeup Geek and I watched it and I'm like oh my god like this is a mess and she touched on so many good points in this video and like as somebody who started out on YouTube about a year ago and has been very very lucky and fortunate and blessed with an audience like you and I've hit 10,000 subscribers in just barely over a year like I know what she's talking about right but I also this is something that I've seen just massively around the world with human interaction and it's not just limited to these beauty gurus all right but anyways something that she talked about in this video was that a lot of these big makeup influencers are like trying to get insane amounts of money to even review her products like just review them like man like okay the first thing I want to talk about to everybody everybody watching this video is this never forget where you come from all right those of you who have been following my channel for a while you've probably heard me mention that I used to be a very angry person like I'm not I have this huge smile on my face now I used to be very angry my life's amazing now but I still get these little inside of me right I talked to my girlfriend all the time about what's going on in the YouTube community or social media community or just in the world in general and she helps remind me like for me not to forget where I come from when I want to do certain things and I got to remember that if any of you watch my video about be the change you want to see in the world like that's why right so like I look at these things and they irk me like I see it and I get it and it just bugs me so one of the things that I do to stay humble is never forget where I came from right I remember that first struggle to a hundred subscribers to 500 to a thousand to 10,000 all sorts of stuff that's why I do my best my best to reply to as many people as possible to collaborate with as many youtubers as possible and to just do things out of good will because I remember how much that would have meant to me when I was smaller some of you who know me you know that I'm a drug addict and alcoholic in recovery humility is a huge part of this thing like I constantly tell the clients at my rehab that are brand new to sobriety that even though I have six years clean I'm no different than them I'm just trying to live this life one day at a time so the next point is she talks about how some of these people were wanting like $60,000 $60,000 for one post right for one Instagram post or even a video review on their YouTube channel like that is bananas like I'm really into I don't know social some political issues and stuff and like $60,000 for one post that is more than most Americans are making in an entire year like what what like I remember Gary Vaynerchuk saying this I'm gonna talk about Gary V a little bit more later in this video I remember him saying like there's not a huge difference between $5 million and $7 million like there's not much of a difference so like greed is just this terrible thing and like something that breaks my heart is just financial greed you see so many things like with you know just the way that so many people are just stuck at the bottom just in our society because other people need another house another yacht more trips more expensive clothes just so many things I'm like oh my god like I see this stuff and I'm like do you know how much you can give back to the world with some of that money like it blows my mind but like asking $60,000 but like makeup geek like she's really hurt by this and sorry I don't know her actual name but she's hurt by this because she helped some of these people and built them up and now they're like asking for this insane amount of money and she can't even pay it like because she's a smaller you know brand just getting started and like that's crazy to me and again it goes back to people just trying to see what they can get rather than they can give and listen listen listen I get it I get it we all have bills to pay we all have bills to pay like I hope you all realize like I hate trying to push things on you so I can make money but I'll be real like this camera costs money these lights cost money this little sign I keep behind me that costs money you know my apartment I have a kid to feed so like I hate doing it but I got bills to pay you know what I mean but I try to do these things in a very ethical way I never promote products or books or anything that I don't stand behind you know and that's kind of a side topic that I don't know if I'll get into but one of the issues I've seen being brought up is that influencers are trying to get paid for their reviews which may not be honest because they're getting paid to do them you know and this is something that we see a lot when people start growing or what they do for the money like the more money someone wants typically their moral compass goes down you know they're willing to do more and more and more and for what and for what like I hate money I hate money so much this is one of the reasons why I truly believe from the depths of my being that the gaming the streaming community like over on Twitch is a thousand times better than the YouTube community just so much better like you hardly hear about any drama you hardly hear about any beef right like I watch a lot of Fortnite streamers and so many of them like they're just like they're so happy and lucky to be where they are and all they want to do is just help each other out like yo come over here like I get to play video games for a living do you want to do it too here let me help you out like Ninja is a prime example Ninja is a household name like even if you're not into video games or Fortnite you've probably heard about this guy Ninja the biggest streamer breaking all sorts of records and he's constantly playing with just other smaller streamers and his friends and people who he's brought up with him and just giving them exposure to his millions and millions and millions of followers like that's awesome you never seen Ninja saying like yo hey if you want to stream with me what am I getting out of it like he doesn't ask that he's just like yo come on come on for the ride let's all rise up let's all do this for a living and like it's crazy because you just don't see that in the YouTube community at all like it's very rare like I don't want to discount anybody because I have plenty of friends I've made in the YouTube community where like regardless of our size or anything like that we all try to help each other out so there are good people out there but like I try to hope that like nobody I know gets that place where what happens to makeup geek happens to me or happens to one of them where they just start stepping on each other like that's nuts and something that I'm I'm definitely gonna make videos about because it's just something that's really been on my mind lately is just like social hierarchies okay like people feeling better than other people and treating other people less than and it's like at the end of the day we're all people so like when we're looking at the situation money aside financial stuff aside you see these social hierarchies like when I was getting into YouTube and I still watch videos I'm like how to grow your channel and how to do this stuff and you know they talk about this and like one of the things that you commonly hear is you know don't reach out to someone to collab if they have a way bigger audience than you and it's like what why well here's why because of the thing I keep telling you about our brains are constantly saying what am I going to get not what am I going to give so bigger youtubers or bigger people with an Instagram following or Twitter following they look at your numbers and instead of saying what can I help this person with they're saying well they have a smaller audience I'm above them so I can't help like man like I hope you guys understand like this the underlying tone of my video like this video like not the video but the channel like man we just need to have a lot more compassion and love it just help people out like I'll never forget I will never forget I made a video months and months and months ago about how our default our default thinking is selfish and this guy blew up on me but it's real I don't have enough videos like dedicated to selfishness but this is one of them we're constantly thinking about ourselves what am I getting from this situation right and this is terrible for relationships I used to have terrible relationships because I was constantly keeping tabs on people oh I'm gonna do this for you you got to do this for me I'll do this for you and it's like what like quick keeping score on this stuff and let me tell you right now I have a nine-year-old son who I really try to help with his mental health and stuff like we meditate we we have talks and everything like that and I nipped that stuff in the butt even in fortnight like when we're playing fortnight if any of you know that game like we'll be swapping weapons and he's like hey daddy I'll give you this weapon but you got to give me something in return and I nipped that in the butt even in that situation because you got to think about if that carries over to the playground or with his friends nobody wants to hang out with that kid nobody wants to the kid who's always like oh I'm only gonna help you if you help me like that is a terrible way to raise your children because now what we're seeing is these beauty influencers and other people we see what happens later on in life they get exposed for not being too great of a person so the last thing I'm gonna talk about today is y'all need better role models everybody needs better role models best role model out there Gary Vaynerchuk let me tell you he has this philosophy of 51 49 give 51% take 49 his philosophy of life is constantly doing more than what he receives like I just watched a video he posted like yesterday he went to like a youth center for like kids who were like in transitional homes and stuff he went there and spoke to them like he probably didn't even get paid anything when it goes out and does speaking engagements and stuff he talks about how he loses money like this dude runs a company worth over $150 million has other companies and he goes out and speaks because he wants to impact people he always talks about how he lives his life thinking about his legacy and he's somebody who's trying to he's in his words is he's trying to make empathy and kindness cool there are so many people who will go their entire life and not even know what the hell empathy is 100% you know not even know the word yes some people that's one of the biggest reasons I'm pushing it so hard you know just by even people acknowledging a word like empathy or gratitude I mean dudes that were trying to kill it didn't use words like empathy and gratitude seven years ago like like just like seeing like sleeved up like rad dudes roll up to me like yo kindness dog I'm like it's just so and honestly I genuinely believe my great legacy potentially maybe that I made emotionally intelligent soft skills alpha I absolutely love that like even if you're not trying to be an entrepreneur or anything you need to go watch his content like I'm so glad that somebody with so much influence it is trying to help people be better people right because we always have to start like we always have to think what can we give not can we get that is a terrible terrible way to walk into any situation at all ask about what you can provide to people be nicer be kinder do things without expecting anything in return like it's crazy to me how this is just plagued our society and now we're seeing people's careers get ruined over it like Gary V always says karma is practical do good things good things happen we're starting to see this just bite people in the butt so like I've said in other videos like if you got to use karma as your guiding force you will be in great shape when it comes to your relationships alright but anyways like I know I'm a little like about this stuff but like greed and social hierarchies and just people being selfish is just something that really gets under my skin because I think about how much better this world would be if more people gave rather than tried to get but you know what helps calming down is the fact that you're watching this video right now if I could even impact one of you to start thinking just a little bit about what you can give rather than get I think I serve my purpose alright but I would love to hear your comments down below what do you think about all this stuff that we're talking about giving rather than getting social hierarchies people you know try to get favors and return for favors all sorts of stuff leave comments down below alright but that's all I got for you today so if you liked this video please give it a thumbs up and if you're new here I'm always making videos to help you out with your mental health as well as your relationships make
