 So I've had about a dozen people ask me out to make either like a Patreon or PayPal and I've also actually had people just send me money through my email already. So I figured I'm going to talk to you guys about what my missions are, my aspiration is, a little bit about me, my personal life and also my financial situation and my current like job, I guess professional career. So I have thought about the ways I can make money through YouTube, whether it's making some sort of online program I could sell, which I don't have the tech know-how and the programming skills to do, although I'm currently kind of looking at it right now. I was thinking about writing a book but to do a book without a publisher wanting to do it with you, your profits are very minimal unless you want to do all the shipping and that's kind of stuff yourself. So that's for me the book is I haven't even started that yet. I was thinking about doing like a vampire book because like the vampire diet because I look like a vampire like I'm gonna I'm young and I'm gonna live forever. I also thought about selling what I make hygiene products I make lip balm I make I'm not wearing anything guys right now nothing I make lip balm I make deodorant I make toothpaste I have a couple products I made but I haven't really figured out how to get a production line or how to do that maybe I'm gonna try to look for some like Chinese companies and try to figure that out maybe I tell them what to make and I resell myself I don't have no idea how to go about doing that and I just I have started doing consulting but I honestly I only had like a handful of clients here and there contact me and do I usually do 8 12 and 14 16 week fitness consult with diet analysis with various pricing I also have done just like our consult sessions but like just charging people they can ask me questions have me evaluate their diet answer their questions with my unusual amount of dietary knowledge related to food so I have done I've been I haven't really got had any monetary success so far from my channel basically all the work I've done has been for free so far so I'm trying to figure out and I my monetization through YouTube has not been approved and I don't know what's going on with YouTube it could be months to I don't know if I'm ever gonna get approved with through monetization through YouTube so that's up in the air in regards to my mission and what my aspirations are I every time I look at someone whether it's you know maybe my dad looks sad upset he's overweight or maybe I see someone on the street like that you know when I look at my mentally disabled sister and see that you know she could have been a normal person when I look at hear about a woman having a miscarriage or or someone's baby having a heart procedure at two weeks old all of these things I attribute to modern life and modern problems and I hope one day that I'm on a large enough platform to make a huge difference in regards to human nutrition and health and really as silly and as simple as it sounds is if people eat and live the right way everyone will be happy and attractive that's as simple as that I think it sounds crazy but that's really what my life goal is and the way I'm trying to do that now is partially through this YouTube channel but in regards to my professional career trying to get from point A to point B hasn't gone so well so I guess I'll talk about my personal life first so I'm actually a triplet I was born in the early 90s I have a brother who does physics stuff out in California very successful got his masters in physics my sister is unfortunately on the other end of the spectrum she stays with my parents in an area in the New York City tri-state area and I stay with my grandma in one of the boroughs and I go travel up with them and I do a lot of filming at their house from time to time so that's my current I could really I could go to my upbringing and like how my mother had a double kidney transplant and all these health problems related to the the C section being boss she had to and she had a stroke recently and you know my family's never been in good health and they've always had health problems fortunately I have been in upper middle class although I can't say I had a lot of guidance or support when I was growing up I at least wasn't in a super bad scenario I guess outside of what else what else can talk about personally I mean you know the health of my family and my sister being mentally disabled has has been one reason for this nutritional journey but that's not really the it's really just about the big picture and helping the health of people in general in regards to my professional life this ties in with progressing my personal life so when I was out of high school I was in and out of community college not doing so well worked a bunch of really terrible minimum wage jobs eventually broken to catering which was still terrible but I got me to New York City Hospitality and I've never really held a job for a long period of time I've never had any good connections I've never really made any good money working in Bart has a bartender or waiter in restaurants in New York I've had jobs that were good that I passed up for other jobs that were lied to me about so my career has been shaky at best and I've I've never made more than like 20 or $30,000 a year and that's saying being generous and I'm 25 now I've been very good at saving money but I've never made a living wage really this year might actually be the first year I make over poverty line to be honest with how much money I've spent on failed business prospects but so I've never been too successful monetarily and right now recently you know I had a really good job working for more recently Salt Bay opened a steakhouse in Midtown and I was making the most money I ever did in hospitality I was making like $1,500 $2,000 a week I never even made half that before so I quit that job to go on Masterchef because I thought if I was on Masterchef I would possibly have a life opportunity that meant I would never have to do this again and unfortunately you know that that was probably one of the literally worst things to ever happen to me in regards to like taking away a job that might have actually given me some financial freedom and not giving me anything in return and I've literally never found a job since I got back from I can't say that I've worked a few very terrible jobs since I've gotten back I tried to get a job out in the Hamptons but guys I talked to earlier about having pride and not asking for handouts but I have no connections every job I've gotten in hospitality is me cold-holing and going in like a stranger and you guys know how that works and me being an actor and doing some of that on the side all I've really done is student films and it's all connections too so I'm trying to move away from that and make something for myself I'm getting back into personal training I'm slowly starting to give up on the bartending thing because listen same thing with acting and bartending I'm good at both you can put me on a professional film set or a cocktail bar and I can perform just as good as the average person I'm not exceptional I'm not a prodigy I'm not gifted but I can do the job I just have not been given an equal opportunity as other people have I'm actually scheduled my breast augmentation for dude I made a joke like that to one guy and he teed off on me he was pissed I made a joke about getting a boob job because they female bartenders have it easier but all that aside I've been looking to get back into personal training I have a couple interviews this week maybe it'll work out maybe it won't worst case and I've been going on bartending interviews I had a couple this week and hopefully some places should be hiring over the fall but honestly it's a very stressful and difficult job this personal training job I'm looking into is like 10 minutes from my house the normally I could drive in and out of the city an hour and a half each way and that's what I've been doing for like four years so as it's part of me and my personality and my seriousness is like having to take care of my mentally disabled sister to some degree and being in my car for three hours a day those two things not a fun personality I try to be fun and happy and I really like joking around and stuff and you guys haven't seen a lot of that with my YouTube channel but that's how I am that's how I want to be but as a result of some of my life factors it hasn't really happened so I kind of I've kind of spread myself to think I'm doing these YouTube videos I'm half ass bartending not so successful my heart's not really in acting but I figured I could get cast because of my look so I'm kind of trying to do it but I don't have any connections I got I have no real idea how to monetize my YouTube channel properly I'm just kind of at this position where I'm just hoping to either audition and get on a show that gets me super popular or maybe work this personal training jobs save up some money try to look into the production for my products or just maybe just grow my YouTube and Instagram to the point where I can build up enough of a base and a fan base to to become successful myself so I just want to give you guys all this information all this background for any more you guys start sending me money on the patreon and guys I'm gonna do the PayPal and patreon because I know people wanted both but the PayPal thing and patreon whatever rewards I have listed on patreon you will get the same thing in PayPal and I know I put like answer one question if you give me a dollar answer you know whatever I put answer five questions if you give me $10 a month in email and then like if you give me $25 I'll do a half hour consultation for you every month or like if you give me $50 I'll do a one hour consultation every month with you where you can ask me questions and hopefully this and if this does get to the point where I can't actually handle it that's a good thing and that means I don't have to work anymore and I can do this full-time and sort that out but by all means guys please you know I do not need money I could I will be fine like if you guys want to support me and give me money and make my life easier and maybe you know contribute to my future mission and my happiness that's what you're doing if you give me money I've will tell you right now I have not spent money on anything besides food clothing and transportation in my life I've literally the only time that I have ever I went out to eat once for my birthday last year and the other money I've spent has only been on necessities and I since I'm with my grandma the rent I pay is minimal so that's not I mean yeah the rent expense is there but I do not spend money on anything that I do not see contributing to my future in my goals I mean I don't really know what other people spend their money on but my like no one I mean you know I don't all my clothes I bought at thrift stores and I need you I bought all my used clothes all my clothes all my clothes are actually used the only stuff I buy new or like t-shirts and shorts from like H&M and cheap stuff all my shoes my expensive ass shoes they were bought used from thrift stores everything you know I really don't spend money and that's because part of it was my parents never gave me any money or really bought me anything when I was growing up and and then I understand and how hard I've worked in all of my jobs and how difficult I know it is to earn money even when I go to spend five ten fifteen dollars I know how hard it is for some people to earn that much money so I really do value money and I understand what it means when someone even sends me a dollar of their money because just all my life experiences and everything has kind of related to that so I don't really want to go too much into anything else I think I've touched on all the the aspects of my life and my aspirations and what I do personally and if there's any other specific things you guys would like me to answer like how I used to play World of Warcraft for 10 hours a day and League of Legends for dude I was good at League of Legends like I was actually a diamond player and I played before they even had that rating system I used to raid ice crown Citadel and World of Warcraft I used to I bodybuilded from when I was 14 to like 21 I used to be in the gym for two hours a day I have a lot of stories that aren't that aren't really that interesting but they might be interesting to some of you guys how I went from doing that to to this so kind of turning my life slipping my life kind of around going from being a loser that pretty much play video games all day to someone who wants to improve their life so maybe we could tie that in somewhere along the lines and I'm a big part of that was my jaw surgery a couple of the two years ago and me being on Accutane a couple years ago so I don't I don't even want to look and see how long this video is already but I think that was really as short and concise as I could have answered this and giving you guys any reason to support me so I will put the PayPal link in the description if you send me a note just tell me what you want you want me to answer your questions do you want me to smile more in my videos you know just tell me they want a half hour like do you want to talk to me for in half an hour on Skype do you want me to send you shirtless pictures on snapchat art I don't I don't use snapchat and it might be a little more money for that's kind of I'm joking I do not that is actually you know oddly enough that is my backup plan in like two or three years if nothing works out maybe we'll go down that route but um what else yeah like on patreon there's some stuff listed and guys please don't hold me accountable to that stuff I put on patreon if I get a hundred people that starts sending me 10 question emails might take me I will try to get back to everyone but it might take me a little while and I really know how to differentiate the I wouldn't know how to differentiate the patreon emails from actual people so I haven't really thought this out too well but hopefully it goes well so I'm gonna put those in the description I for me the PayPal I really know what's easier what's better if there's and if there's any other better ways for you guys to support me like outside of patreon and PayPal please let me know also I would love to do some sort of like like I know Sean Baker started the HBO podcast and they've got a lot of support I feel like I could do something like that and I could have very very long I was on a primal edge health with Tristan although I feel like I kind of stole the show and didn't let him speak but you know who knows I'm sure there are a lot of a lot of opportunities for myself we're going to open up over the next you know a few weeks few months and I'm a little more optimistic than I've been because you know on and off the past few years of my life have really been just constant really just constant failure and like as soon as it looked like I was gonna be successful and things were gonna work out you know everything I just everything just went to shit you know and that's happened to me about half a dozen times already so I don't want to go specifically into my job history or like how I couldn't get a gig on the Hamptons this year and how many times I've tried to get gigs out there for various things I don't want to go into specific details about that but you guys can probably find my resume on LinkedIn and you guys can probably look on other other websites if you really looked hard enough and hey if you send me an email and ask me I'd probably tell you so that's it guys I'm not going to stop talking before this video goes to like half an hour
