It's felt like a very very long time And I'll explain what happened Paul I see what's going on, brother It's is I see you Mike Lee. I see you.

Let's get that one monetized and again, I'll explain But again, thank y'all so much matter of fact, let me do this make it even easier I'm gonna pin All right, boom, so I pinned that to the top of the chat to click that click subscribe and come right back here so again It's nice to see y'all appreciate y'all for being here as it is already on top of it. What am I doing? Thank you so much darling. Let me delete that. She already got that out. So let me pin hers Boom Alright, alright, but yeah, I hope you guys are well I don't know if you know, but we have been banned these past two weeks I have been unable to post or In the community tab or in video form For the past two weeks the ban lifted yesterday however This is This is our second channel strike and it's considered a YouTube guidelines Violation strike you get three of them. So far we have two and If I am to get one more this channel will no longer exist It will be deleted and everything on the channel will also be deleted. So in fresh and fits case They got demonetized in my case. I'll be deleted and Basically what had happened was the first strike Actually, let me let me rewind even further. So Before I was really doing YouTube seriously, I would post videos every now and then of some of my Documentary projects or some of the discussions we were having at the at the schools and One of the projects I was working on was called in Nigeria So I posted that probably 2020 2019 something like that a while ago and It's it's pretty graphic. It shows Some of the carnage that happened during the ensar's protests in Nigeria It showed some some dead bodies some graphic footage and when I posted it on YouTube it put a you know 18 and older Block in front of it, which made sense but fast forward randomly it gets deleted and and not only was it deleted but YouTube chose to put a Community violation warning on the channel So now the channel has a community violation warning and that was way before the Kevin Samuel started this conversation series So I wasn't a youtuber. I was just a random person like a lot of us just posting Stuff we thought was cool on YouTube so The first official strike Some of you guys may know this some of you guys may not the first official strike Was the YK Osiris and Sukiyana video So to recap basically what happened is? the rapper Sukiyana was at a crew league basketball game. I think it's Chris Brown's basketball league whatever and And another Singer I believe he is YK Osiris came up to her and they were flirting and he He kissed her on the lips and it made a bunch of news and a whole nine So I did a case study about it. The case study is actually still Let me pull this back up. So if you go to videos Oh, this is the wrong channel. Let's go to the main channel if you go to videos actually If you go to playlists, that's probably easier to find a case study. I didn't want it to play I just wanted to pull up so a case study and You kind of look at that playlist It is this one Sukiyana son YK Osiris a case study so This is the video. They got me my first channel strike Now Obviously, it's up again, but I had to change a couple of things What gave me the strike was me showing a clip that I downloaded from YouTube of What happened so a clip of him kissing her without her consent? YouTube interpreted that as a depiction of sexual assault Now mind you The clip is still readily available all over their platform before whatever reason the fact that I included it in my case study Got me a channels a channel strike and got the initial video removed This is actually a reposting of that case study and what I had to do was instead of showing the clip, I just had to show a still like you've seen some youtubers do and Yeah, I was able to post it again if you want to see the original I believe I put it up on Twitter During the time that I was banned so it's still up on Twitter. It's also up on our patreon Please consider becoming a patreon and I'll explain more about why it's important in a little bit, but I had to repost it because Besides what happened? This was a very important conversation So if you haven't watched this case study go and watch it because there are a lot of Important things that I bring up during this case study So Got that first channel strike. I was banned for a week So maybe some of you guys remember but a while back two months ago. I could not post for a week I couldn't post in the community tab. I couldn't post the video for a week and It kept the channel strike on my channel now again if you like You can go on YouTube and search why chaos iris sukiyana And I guarantee you'll find somebody else with the clip that got my channel banned for a week But that's beside the point Now this most recent banning and The reason why I haven't been able to post for two weeks because this is my second strike is Because I posted a case study on the Alabama Brawl YouTube called that a depiction of violence, but the part that is the most annoying is They called it a depiction of violence. So initially they put an 18 or older block on the video then they went back to it for whatever reason and They deleted it and they called it, you know a channel Violation so it was deleted and it became my second strike and I couldn't post then I appealed it and they reverse the appeal I mean they approved the appeal and said after further review. We have found that it does not violate our guidelines So they went back to the 18 or older and then to An hour or so later. I get another email after further review. We have decided to put a Another strike on your channel and delete the video so It was this, you know carrot stick situation that I was stuck in but ultimately I learned a very important lesson and Other youtubers have probably learned this as well You cannot fight YouTube and the reason you cannot fight youtuber. I guess the best analogy is YouTube is a Publishing company and They reserve the right to not publish whatever they see fit of not publishing and the guidelines only serve to kind of safeguard them From you know from a PR perspective Or validate whatever decision that they make to Remove something to lead something demonetize something but basically It is set up in a way where you can't really do anything and that's part of the reason why Despite the fact that I have Almost 70,000 subscribers. I don't have if unless you guys went to the website and you put in your email or you've signed up for our Update group on on Instagram. I don't have any of your contacts Because Basically, I work for YouTube at least that's the paradigm. This is not a Opportunity for you to own your own business and know you're for all intents and purposes your YouTube's bitch And whatever they're done with you, they're done with you And there's really nothing you can do about it because I thought about okay What are my options to fight this but the more that I read I was like there there is no fighting it Because at the end of the day, it's a free platform and they reserve the right to have What they like and what they don't like up And the reason why I say this is because very often we talk about shadow banning shadow banning and You know different conspiracies around What YouTube is or is not doing the creators? But in these two weeks I'm starting to lean towards the fact of the idea that it's it's bullshit And here's why During the time that I was banned The last case study Clarissa Shields versus Keith Thurman should not happen. It got a hundred and twenty two thousand views It is now the second most viewed video on my channel of all time the only video that has more views is part of the interview with Courtney Michelle and it only has like 50,000 more views than this and this is this was a year ago versus two weeks ago and I bring that up to say that if there is any time where I should be quote-unquote shadow ban It should be the time where I can't even post where I'm banned for two weeks but the algorithm pushed this and I think the the reason the algorithm pushed this is because It's relevant. It's now. It's what's happening So from an algorithm perspective They're gonna give the people what they want and it comes back to what I brought up before The people Don't want the kind of substance that the people claim to want and I think this is a bottom line that we have to wrestle with You know because you know Before the banning I would say people please get in the habit of checking the channel people please get in the habit of clicking that like button to support your favorite creators get in the habit of You know commenting these little things that we can do to actually Support if if you can't give monetarily here are some things you can do But unfortunately what tends to happen is that that attention and those eyeballs tend to go to either car crashes or things that people like to complain about and We turn around as a community or as a people and we say where is all the Substantive Thought leaders where are all the substantive musicians? Where are all the substantive artists? We're all the substantive leaders, but we don't help these people and And that's kind of the bottom line that I want to wrestle with during this stream and I'm super appreciative of the people who actually put their money and their attention and their Effort where their mouth is But the masses if we're being honest don't do that in the case of fresh and fit they made the mistake of talking about the Jewish community and YouTube has decided to You know cut ties with them from a monetary standpoint their channel isn't isn't banned They just can no longer make money off of super chats basically or ads But I think it's reasonable for us to take a moment and consider The part that their audience played in creating them right like when I saw Myron's antics with the KKK hoodie and the monkey noises and calling them black woman night writers That is the behavior that made their channel lucrative The stuff that they do about male empowerment barely and they've talked about this openly it barely gets any views because it's not as entertaining But when they have 16 bimbo sitting around this tattoo table Proving the point of how idiotic Only fans models are That's where the views come from so like I said before if you're somebody who isn't clear on your purpose if you're somebody who lacks integrity and More more more important than anything if you're somebody who needs this it is very easy to get corrupted And I think my main message is like we have to instead of just complaining about the fresh and fits or the The the women who are pandering whatever the case may be we have to have to ask ourselves the question how are we enabling and empowering what we want to see more of and How are we enabling and empowering what we claim to not like? So with the Clarissa Shields and Keith Thurman Video what it taught me is that Whatever audience as far as like big numbers whatever audience that I thought I had Isn't as isn't where my time or my main priority needs to go my time in my main priority needs to go into getting Growing my audience so it's not about nurturing your community and maintaining your community. That's not how you sustain a YouTube channel It's about relevance Right and my Seeking relevance is what now has the channel on the brink of termination because if I had it my way I would have gone on doing Documentary style interviews because that's what I want to do But at some point those things plateaued people didn't care anymore People didn't want the deep and nuanced conversations. I was having they wanted me to cuss women out at some point so those numbers went away and It was impossible to sustain so now I have to figure out how to remain relevant which is making videos quote-unquote case studies about what Lizzo was calling her dancers fat and dumb shit like that and that's where The views are coming from and it's fresh as a creator. It's frustrating Because although that's where the views are coming from that's what could also terminate this channel because again Their enforcement of these quote-unquote rules are arbitrary and they enforce it based on you know The ways that they see fit like I said you can still go on YouTube and find footage of the fight that got my channel the second Band and the kiss that got my channel the first band, but for whatever reason on this channel, you know, it's It violates there whatever so Kind of like I've been saying the last few streams The only way this stuff works is to support what we care to see more of I Have 70,000 subscribers on this channel, but the second channel which I had to create during this this banning Just crossed 200 Yesterday, you know, there are a lot of people who Didn't weren't curious enough to figure out why the hell is an Allen posting like let's go see what's going on on Instagram Because I've talked about it on Instagram. Thankfully the Instagram is growing. We're at 20,000 subscribers. I mean followers now I have an inner circle of Subscribers on Instagram who are supporting that way. So if you're interested in doing that head over to Instagram, but That's a way that if another thing happens. I can still maintain Communication because again if another thing happens, I do not have access to 70,000 people So this just ends up being a vanity metric and I could just tell my kids. Yeah at some point I had 70,000 subscribers, but the backup channel Is sitting at 200. So If you guys haven't already go subscribe to the second channel go tell a friend to tell a friend to subscribe to the second channel and Consider shooting us a cash app to support the mission consider Don't don't even super chat because they garnish those so please support on cash app if you can But I still appreciate the brothers who support via super chat shout out to real bravado network with the $10 Shout out shout out to the resident airsoft the resident airsoft there has been a Supporter for a while. I think when the channel first got monetized. I remember seeing your name So appreciate your brother shout out to you so he says Fresh and fit got what they deserve this channel getting strikes as complete BS. That's educational and shouldn't be penalized for Again it depends on who you ask, right Another thing I've noticed When I when you upload a video to ask you what category does this video belong to? Whenever I selected education those have been the worst performing videos But the best performing videos have been under entertainment. So That should tell us something but again, I think We need to demystify this whole Algorithm thing is it's all the algorithm is doing is recycling what people care about so it starts with auditing what people care about and and letting the algorithm know that you care about this thing With your effort with clicking the like button with commenting and On the side with if you can monetarily supporting Creators that you care about because the other frustrating thing about these case studies that I do is that The case studies are the easiest thing for me to do They're cheap. I don't have to turn on a camera I don't have to go anywhere I just sit down on my mic and I try to put my thoughts together in a cohesive way as it relates to whatever happened recently But the interviews are tough the interviews require cameras lighting mics Getting people traveling Set up and break down in the whole nine and those are the worst performing stuff So as the person who's taking on those costs, it's frustrating because you start feeling like you're casting, you know pearls to swine and It takes you not being willing to compromise your integrity or compromise your your initial mission to like look past the BS I Don't know if you guys know this but the first attempt on Dr. King's life was a black woman She stabbed him in the heart What's what's difficult about doing something that is quote-on-quote Righteous or good. It's like Oftentimes it's the very people that you are attempting to help That pose the largest threat or at least the largest immediate threat and it only we can only counteract that with Again, little things. I'm not even talking about sending me money. I'm talking about clicking a like button I'm talking about from time to time I know we need to talk usually post two times a week Let me go to the channel real quick and navigate to the video tab and see what's up. That's it but The reality is and I know some of us still think that the algorithm is going to Show us the content that we're subscribed to it doesn't do that It has moved all the content you're subscribed to to your subscription feed What it shows you on the home page it will show you some of the stuff you're subscribed to but what it wants you to do is find new things That are consistent with your habits or consistent with so YouTube doesn't care about nurturing an audience as much as it cares about growing one so YouTube wants you to find another we need to talk and I don't think that's necessarily bad but You you also if you care about what we're doing here There is some effort on your end to go to that subscription tag or just type in WNT to talk on Instagram or on YouTube to see what's what's recent because unfortunately the algorithm does not work the way that we think it does and It takes the community that we're building and that we're nurturing to also reinvest in us Right I'm gonna stop rambling Let me see who's in the building who's in the building as always shout out to as it's for always holding it down Shout out to man of prestige salute my brother. I appreciate you Shout out to mr. Smith I'm trying brother I'm trying brother. Like I said if I Make the wrong case study this whole channel and everything all the 500 and let me see I don't even know what the number is now 546 videos will be deleted. That's how it works And I can be as mad as I want to be because I am intimately familiar with what it took to produce these things But at the end of the day The hey it is what it is So step one Follow the Instagram because at least Instagram is a bit looser when it comes to communication Follow the second page because hopefully they don't if they delete this one, they don't delete that one But again, it's their platform. So the ball is in their court I I'm still working on the website, but I'm kind of slacking with that because Getting people to go to Instagram is hard enough the idea of getting people to go to Another just a website It's not very promising and you know even in fresh and fits case which you know, we'll get into People are gonna say why don't they just go to rumble the problem with You know Places like rumble and things like that is they don't have a discovery feature So basically You go from YouTube where you're getting paid for The ad revenue that your content is generating on top of the Superchats and and whatever else and merch in the whole night to now a platform where you were lucky if you get a fraction of the people that you built on YouTube to come over and They can really only do some of the stuff that they were able to do on YouTube, but you can't grow an audience Right now, maybe that changes in the future, but that's that's why these Simplistic solutions that people like to throw out are not as simple and You know in my case my main point is not to make money. My main point is just to sustain all this right because if if I continue to just Try to do it all by myself from a from a monetary standpoint. It's gonna be easy to become jaded the Quality suffers Especially as I get back into the workforce. So, you know, it's it has to be like a synergistic relationship that we maintain Shout out to Maggie the substitute teacher for the five-dollar cash app. Thank you so much so the cash app if you're unaware it's Dollar sign WNT talk There we go Dollar sign WNT talk a magazine substitute teacher. She says just showing support to the channel. I appreciate you so much and Also, Miss Miranda. Thank you so much for the $10 $10 cash app Now like I've said before the reason why cash app or Venmo or PayPal works so much better is because More of that money goes to the work Versus super chats go primarily to Well, it goes primarily to the create to the to the channel, but YouTube takes a pretty big chunk of it So really the only benefit ends up being your comment moving to the top of the To the top of the stream But yeah, appreciate the support. I've got a good brother in the back my brother jamming and We we linked up during my visit to LA to interview Dr. Johnson and again, this is another Video That takes a lot of work to make but isn't rewarded with attention The part that I released trying to make it relevant where he talked about Barbie and Andrew Tate. It only has 9.9 Thousand views. So if you haven't watched that again video tab it sorts it by the most recent and here is part of my interview with Dr. Tia San Johnson, but the rest of it I'm still working on but I linked up with jamming and we he took me on a pretty extensive tour of LA man He that brother knows LA like the back of his hand and he's been a major supporter of the channel pretty much since day one but he was basically breaking down the social political structure of Los Angeles and one of the kind of things that or the takeaways for me was that while everybody else is playing Chess, we're playing checkers as a community and That's pretty much the conversation that I want to have you know fresh and Fitz case They were being gestures and they caught up to them and it is what it is. I don't know if there's that much of there But I think that the larger conversation is as a community. How do we actualize? the type of change that we claim we want to see on a small scale that means with entertainment and and and and our visual representation on A larger scale it boils down to community building. So without further ado, let me bring up my brother Jammin, what's going on man? What about you fam? How you doing, man? Man, I'm all right, man I'm all right. It's always good to see you man. It's good to see you So you absolutely so you weren't aware of the the two weeks until until just now No, I did not know about that unfortunately, but I think you know YouTube is YouTube man you know, I think that I Guess in our in your case or in most people's cases, you know, it's just don't show the whole video I don't know. I Guess that's what it is with some other I follow O'Shea a lot and He just throws up steals. So is that the the the work around? I have no idea, but That's the thing that's difficult because the the two the two metrics that matter the most when it comes to YouTube is click-through rate and View duration Right, so click-through rate is basically is your thumbnail designed in a way that You know seduces people to want to click on the video and watch it, right? Is your thumbnail is your title? Is it you know, is it appetizing but then view duration is of that video? What percentage of it are people watching so over 10 minute video are people clicking off after 30 seconds? Are they watching five minutes? Right and if they're watching five minutes YouTube says, oh They want to see more of this. So I'm gonna push this video. So I say that to say in O'Shea's case, you know, he has an editor So even though he's showing steels, he's doing a bunch of theatrics that are gonna hold people's attention Mm-hmm. I don't have an editor So that's why that's why you'll see some people prioritize something that's moving because The average the layman who isn't necessarily a subscriber who isn't necessarily invested in what it is that we're trying to do As soon as they're bored, they're gonna click off so it's this dance of I have to be entertaining and hope that I don't step on the toes of Cuz I I had no idea that a video I got from YouTube would get my channel banned. Yeah. Yeah, yeah Who knows that who's gonna know that? It doesn't make any sense because it's like well I got it from the platform. So if I got it from the platform, it should be okay, right? No, bro. No, no But yeah, it's understandable understandable, man So so what I just want to ask you man, what what struck you about the the tour the most? The the the Jewish the Jewish neighborhood because you said something profound man you said You know, I think I think you said something and I'm paraphrasing so yeah Don't kill me but you you basically made the point that everybody else knows it's a race but us That's why it's called a race like everybody is is Community-centered is is thinking about the larger picture and we're still playing Pookie versus Ray Ray. Yeah, it's called a race for a reason. I think that's what Yeah, and unfortunately, it's it's funny when you look at these different neighborhoods how they're formed Some of the relationships that get played some of the the beliefs that they have in some of these even more affluent areas I think that you know when I took you through one of the things that comes very apparent is How much money was in that neighborhood man? Fact there was a lot of money in that neighborhood and the thing about it is is that it stayed in that neighborhood And there's a reason why it's staying in that neighborhood I think that those Those are the things that that that we're not talking about and those are the things that should be talked about how did they How is that like the the the area that they're in there? How did they get there? How does the money stay there? Who are they talking to what are the rules and when it takes them to be in there? And it's interesting like people don't know that there's a ton of individuals the Jewish community in there Because they have to walk to their Wherever it is, you know the the their temple on Saturday, so they can't They have to be in that neighborhood So you have like all these schools and all these things. It's like so how did you get there? And I think that that's the larger conversation instead of You know again Having the pookie and Ray Ray conversation like how did they get over there and how is it though? You know these people aren't so Well, so what why do you think we are so Uninterested in the larger picture like what why do you think this this low-hanging stuff is what we spend the most of our time on and You know going back to the whole YouTube thing is what gets the views and the clicks. I think that Unfortunately that As a culture You've gotten a lot more a lot less But we prioritize happiness Prioritize happiness and prioritizes what feel good is instead of what works in the direction that they were going, right? so like if that's the if that's the the The overall metric is what makes me feel good. Of course, you're gonna prioritize Drama of course you're gonna prioritize these types of things because you know, I feel good in the moment Which is it was great, but it's never gonna get you Anywhere it's not gonna get you anywhere far, right? I doubt that you know not to say that the younger generation in that that community isn't like you're looking at you, too But they're looking at it from a different view vantage point. I think I I talked to you about I knew a brother who worked at at a school over there and in that community and He taught second grade app development In one of the schools over there. It's like So it's like you you're learning how to develop apps on the app store in the Apple apps in the second grade So they're looking at the YouTube from a whole different vantage point then then then most of the individuals So it's like but that's because of the culture the culture is okay. What's the next step? Like how do we continue to make this money? How do we continue to go over here? How do we continue to do this? And so that sort of becomes the mantra Like let's let's let you know the the purpose is the mantra instead of what feels good or it feels good in the moment, you know right, right and you know, that's that's the thing That is frustrating because I I have pretty high expectations of my audience because even as I'm looking Matter of fact, let me let me share my screen as I'm looking at My analytics the majority of My audience is between 35 and 44 years old The second largest is 25 and 34 and it's 85.9 percent male right so I Would I would assume that What would You know What it what would inspire what would Peak the curiosity of you know that that group is gonna be some of the more intellectual content some of the more You know solution oriented stuff But that's not what I'm That's not what I'm finding Um Yeah, so so here's the thing man. I don't think it's necessarily I don't think it's necessarily your fault I just think that the the thing is there are individuals who are going to be interested in that type of content And you just have to find out who those individuals are and make sure that they they find you those dudes are out there It's just that we just need to keep and keep continuing to do what it is that you're doing and you you'll you'll find them eventually I Also think that there's a there should be like a more of an education on Like what men need to do and I think that that's another thing that kind of ends up happening It's that I think that a lot of men and I think a lot of women in general We've gotten to the point especially in the community where it's like, okay, I heard you Right, I heard your complaints. I understand what it is you want to do But where do we go from here? And I don't think that there's a lot of solutions coming out, right? so I think that that's sort of where Yeah, there's gonna be a lot of people who just want to see the the the The building burn for you know for their entertainment, but then again Okay, so if I'm a man and I'm saying okay, this is what I need to do. I understand that these are what the pitfalls are What exactly am I supposed to do about it? Like what what where can I go from here or you know as a lady? Okay? I understand. Okay, these things are toxic Okay, cool. I'm hearing from the do's and not do this. Okay, so what can I do? Right, what's the what's the pathway? What's what's the afterwards? I think that that's You know concentrating on that. It's possible that you can get more individuals that way Is there something is there something that you would Despite whatever the algorithm is rewarding that you would like to see more creators kind of hone in on That's the that's the thing that I want to I would like to Creators to hone in on is what next so I think we talked about this like It is of my belief that if the community is going to go further There needs to be like three main things that to take place First thing when it comes to dudes I think the main thing for For for men is that you needed to really take back the control when it comes to family planning Right. I feel that I think we had this conversation before there's a really good book. It's called how to measure your life and any gentleman who's really interested in developing a family and Doing having a positive effect on the community You need to go at it from the vantage point that I'm going at it with a plan, right? I think One of the the youtubers out here her name is Erica Lashay Really beautiful content creator. She's from you know, originally from Inglewood in wood And she talked about you know as a lady You know she understands that men want submission But the word submission means submit to a mission So the question is where are we going? What are we doing? And I think that that's a valid point I think that a man who who Wants to develop a family and wants to have a positive impact on the community needs to start out from the vantage point of With a plan, right? What does it mean to? What is it? Your what is your goal? Like how are you going to go from one place to another, right? And again, how will you measure your life? It's a beautiful book get it read it and then go from there Ladies if you know understand the fact and if a man doesn't necessarily have it stuck together or just not necessarily have a plan Maybe that's not the individual for you, you know So Men need to really do that second thing when it comes to ladies Um Y'all need to curate your your friend groups a whole lot better I Think that there's And this is something that you'll find especially in these these communities, right these communities You talk to a Hasidic Jewish woman about the patriarchy and she's gonna look at you like you have three heads Hmm, they don't play that mess over there like they'll they'll sell that Now because they've been in a lot of individuals have have Businesses and things of that nature, but it's definitely not something that That They promote or they'll say it, but they won't promote it amongst there. They're in their in crowd, right? And so it's something that there needs to be a curation of Of your inner your inner groupings and in your in your networks That coincide with whatever I guess that the goal of the the The group is and then of course, you know Figure out what the purpose of the group is So, yeah, I think there's usually more direction so talk talk to me about the The the the mating aspect because because wait wait the whole theme of chess chess versus checkers You also brought up the fact that when it comes to mating and mate selection Everybody else is playing chess and we're playing checker. So say more about that. Okay, so here's the thing for those who don't know I I listen to the community a lot and a lot of if you listen to a lot of the women in the community They're like, well, we need to get with these individuals who you make, you know, this much money This this my sad this my sis and the thing about it is like for me, right? I walk into an office every single day Full of black men who make six figures This is a common occurrence. Like I they're full of I walk into an office full of these individuals and so Interestingly enough though If the a lot of them are single a lot of them don't have kids then If they are dating the majority of them are dating Hispanic women and this is It's not for what for the reasons that you think right now most people would think oh man They're just going out to Hispanic women. That's not necessarily the case. That's not necessarily how that goes You have to understand like there are certain cultures that that come at it with the idea that Especially the older women in the community, right? They understand that Their safety comes from Developing a network of good dudes good men, right? And this all stems back from the idea that hey men are useful, right? If you're coming at it from the vantage point of many this or you don't need a man or whatever It has an effect later on in life. So these in these cultures do not have that idea, right? and so When you're going to to work with what ends up happening and say I'll hang out with the home of mine, right and You'll be like, hey, what are you doing on such and such a day? Oh, I'm not doing anything Hey, come over and hang out with my family. All right, cool So I'll go hang out with this family. I'll talk to his wife and I'll talk to maybe his parents and no they'll vet they're sitting there vetting you as you're chilling chilling and You know, would you do this and now blah blah blah? And if they like you what ends up happening is they'll say something to the effect of hey, what are you doing? You know this day. We really want you to come over. We want you to hang what you do this We want you to the other sure sure sure dollars of donuts Like when you get there the next time there's going to be The sister is going to be there. Denise is going to be there. The cousins is going to be there. Any lady that's available is going to be there. And the idea is, hey, listen, we have located this gentleman as a good dude, right? And so we're going to link him up with someone that we're emotionally tied to so that we have access to him later in life. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it's just not a game that we're playing. And so at some point, I think O'Shea talked about this. There's there's going to be a brain drain as it was as it is in the community. And it's just not the game that you play. And they're not worried of certain cultures aren't worried about like, you know, I have to have this feeling or he has to have this or he has to have that. At the end of the day, it's six figures that just got added to their bottom line. We just secured, you know, a six figure earner into the community that is ours. And the other part about that is that, you know, they might end up coming to you and say, hey, you know, when when when their son or their nephew or whatever it is, they need a job. Guess what? They have access to someone who's going to help them do that. So, you know, they're not coming at it from, you know, this I need to be constantly happy type situation. It's more of a, hey, it's it's it's it's dating with the community in mind. I guess it was instead of like an individualistic. This is the best thing for me at the moment type of situation. I think that having that mindset is what puts certain communities above other communities where it's like, OK, we're going to do this because, you know, I'm dating with the community and the purpose of mind, not just my personal happiness. How do we get there? How do how do we get there as as black men? How do we get there as black women in your opinion? So black men, it starts with starts with the men. It starts with the men. One, you can't get there unless you have a destination. Again, read that book, man. One of the things that was interesting in that book was the development of a family, right? As a man, what do you want your family to look like? What do what impact do you want your family to have on the community? What are the traits that you want to pass down to your children? Right? Write them down, figure it out and then reverse engineer from there. So I'll give you an example like my last name is camp, right? So what does it mean to be a camp? We are creative problem solvers. So we we value intelligence. We value ingenuity, creativity. And hard work. What do we hate? We hate laziness and we hate ignorance. So, you know, we have a motto that is it's OK to not know, it's not OK to be OK with not knowing. So if you're ignorant to a subject, that's fine. But if you recognize that this is something that you need to know, you need to work hard to figure it out. And so knowing that that is something that is important to me when I'm looking for individuals right to date or to marry, right? I'm looking to see how this individual deals with children, right? Do you want kids? Fantastic. You don't want kids? OK, well, I got to keep it pushing. When I see you around kids, OK, so is how do you deal with? You know, answering the question is that children will give you. This is obviously going to happen at some point. So how do you deal with that? Are you encouraging the curiosity? Do you get frustrated when they ask you too many questions? If so, that's not something that is going to work for me. So reverse engineering, the fact that I want to go in a specific direction and I need to pass down these certain things, it's going to affect who I end up dating and what I'm looking for. Now, the cool thing is that I hate to say this, fellas, but it doesn't require you to sleep with fifty eleven women to do that. That's not don't do that, right? Like that you have to to exercise discipline in that area. If you're going at it by, you know, just I'm just going I'm just going to fly a lot through life and and just have as many experiences as I can and then maybe suddenly kind of sort of maybe find somebody. That's not going to work, man. You're just creating a bunch of damage that way. If you want to go out in a more masculine way, a framed out way. We talk about having frame, right? So you're going to go at it from that vantage point. Now, when it comes to ladies, you have to prioritize purpose. If you're with somebody and he can't tell you where he's going. Well, then, why are you there? If he doesn't have a vision, if he can't communicate to you at some point, hey, listen, this is where I'm going. This is what I'm doing. This is what I need you to help me with. Can you do this with me? Are you willing to learn these things with me? Are you willing to go this way? And the other thing is, ladies, you have to be aware of your surroundings and the people that you let into your life. It could be that your friends are damaging your relationship or your view of your relationship. And that's a level of toxicity that needs to be addressed. I see a lot of women who get into relationships only to have their friends talk them out of being with a good do or talk themselves out of being in harmony or alignment with boundaries that they set as a couple. And that's generally not good. So on the one hand, you know, men have to get used to or get good at starting to plan their lives and start going at creating families in a way that's constructive and ladies seeking out those individuals who have those those things. But also figuring out whether or not you can help that individual. It might be a situation where, you know, that this guy might have an eight pack, you know, but you logically can't help him get to where he wants to go. Or maybe he doesn't even know where he's going. In which case, you got to let that go. And a lot of this stuff is easier said than done. It is one of the things that, you know, we touched on is, you know, we drove by one of the, I think, two of the schools and you were telling me about like the security situation and how there's that heavy investment being made in the kids. How how how can we move in that direction? Because that's really what matters at the end of the day. OK, so a couple of things in my opinion as to how we get how the community moves that way. Unfortunately, it's sort of a risk and a gamble. But you got to put the funding in. OK, so in the book, how to measure life, it talks about kids. And it talks one of the main things it talks about, especially when it comes to children, is this concept of outsourcing the future. And you don't want to outsource the future and it's a problem. The example that they gave was Dell computers. If you are familiar with Dell computers and back in the when they came out, they were really good on they were dominating the market because they were able to you're able to customize your computer, put certain things in and then they would ship it to you in less than 48 hours. Now, there was also a chip manufacturer. I forget what the name was. I actually have it. It's it's. It's it's escaping me right now. But what eventually happened was this chip manufacturer decided they were going to make motherboards, right? And they went to Dell and said, hey, look, we can produce these motherboards cheaper than if you were to do it on your own. And so Dell looked at the bottom line and said, OK, cool, fantastic. We can make more money. They said in a third, right? So they said, go ahead. Eventually what ended up happening was the chip manufacturer came out with their own direct to consumer version of what they had Dell doing, and they pretty much cornered the market. And so now Dell is a shell of itself because they continue to outsource certain parts and these these companies and these companies ended up developing their own things. And so now Dell is just a shell of itself. You know, it's it's it's Nvidia with a shell casing, essentially. And so you end up having this situation where I forget what ship it was. So so in essence, what ends up happening is that a lot of parents, they outsource their future by assuming that if they just put them in the right school, that the children is going to be their child is going to be fantastic, and that's not necessarily the truth. You know, you have to plan to raise your child. There is you're going to have a family dynamic, whether or not you plan for it or not. So might as well plan for it. Might as well try to do that and to go at it with the idea that, OK, we're going to be passing down these things. Now, that could be difficult, especially when it comes to finances. But one thing that was interesting in the book was that the this idea that your children are are are willing to learn when they're ready. And so, you know, there are things that you can do even in. How do you put it? There's things there's value in loss. There's value in lack, right? So he talked about, you know, they couldn't afford tons of things. You know, a lot of people, they assume that as long as they have the funding or the money to buy them the next whatever, this is what they want. But the lessons that they learn and the lessons that stick with them are the times where they don't have. And so there's value in lack. There's value in not having enough money to do X, Y, Z because that builds a certain level of resilience in your children. That sin that gives them a work ethic. And so you have to do that. Now, when it comes to building schools, that has to do with funding and it has to do with politics. That's a whole other discussion. Those who want to get into that read the book, Politics is for Power and figure out how to, you know, get your your your politicians to work for you. That's not necessarily my get down. But those who want to do it, I suggest you read that book. Um, but yeah, when it comes to that, unfortunately, there might be a situation where, you know, just how do I say this? Individuals, especially in that community, right, they started small. The mother stayed home. They might not have made it. The father might not have made a ton of money, but the mother was at home and she was able to. And that's still the case. If you go into these neighborhoods, the mothers are still at home, right? And that gives them the freedom and the ability to apply pressure on the school system because they're available. I don't know what that looks like financially. But there is value in that. What is the take away from your perspective on this fresh and fit situation? Me, brah, brah. So my take away is this. Okay. So here's the thing. I would say the fresh and fit, they had their moments. They did. They had their moments and to say that it was as complete loss would be disingenuous at best because every one of us, everyone can sit here and they can see the viral moment or, you know, there was a couple of viral moments that were actually positive. But for the most part, man, listen, they was grifting. And maybe they started out fantastic. Maybe they started out with a good cause. Maybe I'm not exactly sure. But at some point, it just came about the money and. Oh boy, it was just was it fit? What's it? Not fresh, fresh, whatever. No, it's very Myron. Myron, like, come on, dog. You went super left. And I think I don't understand how you how you come at this with the idea that, oh, yeah, we just go still our channel after I do this bull crap. Come on, dog. Come on, dog. You can't you can't think that you can't think that. I mean, like you can't. I don't. Yeah. Yeah, I think it's, you know, like one of the brothers commented on the one of my videos, he said, if you keep if you keep pitching tense for clowns, if you stop pitching tents for clowns, I'm sorry, there will be no more circus. And the reality is that the audience, a.k.a. the algorithm rewards, you know, it rewards antics, man. It rewards all that stuff that they were doing. The thing about it is this, like, could they have continued to do what they did and not get banned? Absolutely. I think that I mean, the formula exists. You just go like you you stop. You know, one, you don't do the races a bit. I don't understand what he was thinking about by putting on the clan, whatever. You know, he was big. His channel that channel was big enough where YouTube could would have looked the other way on certain things, but they can't look the other way on that, right? No, no, it wasn't that it wasn't that because the thing about YouTube, man, and, you know, Money Marriage and Media mentioned it, I thought that as you grew in subscriptions that you kind of, you know, kind of like in corporate America, like you get more leeway, whatever the case may be. No, they don't give a damn YouTube. YouTube is is attempting to over saturate the market with creators. Got you because if I have more creators, one creator isn't worth as much. Therefore, one creator doesn't have as much leverage, right? So that's why we saw the explore page go from people that you're subscribed to or people that are similar to people you're subscribed to, to now just random people. Same with Instagram, same with every other social social media site. So no, it boils down to, you know, the bottom line for them. If what you're what you're doing is potentially going to cost them money at some point, it's not worth however much money you're making for them now, right? And and somebody mentioned that the main thing that kind of got fresh and fit under their YouTube's kind of spotlight is the the the Jewish stuff. It wasn't the black stuff. It was the Jewish stuff. Listen, listen, they listen. The reason why they have that is they have bra. You saw where they live at that is the that is the studios, bra. They live where the studio they own that whole situation. So you can't talk about them. Fam, it's just it's just not going to work because that that's, you know, but they earn that spot, I guess you're there in the spot. I mean, you walk around, especially in LA, they have billboards, man. What is it? Yeah, I forgot that they're slogan. But yeah, man, it's it's all about, you know, there's stop Jewish hate. All kinds of stuff is like, listen, but and that's that is also to say that, you know, that's not it's not as though like black people can't get there. They're still there at some point, you know, but it's it's just the market. You know what I mean? And look, listen, should you be talking about them in the first place? No, leave them folks alone, man. Let them be, let them be, man. Leave them folks alone. Just look, look at what's going on. If you like what they have, try and figure out what they're doing. Maybe it like, you know, imitate it, but leave them alone, man. I don't understand why you even talk about like I don't understand why you would come at them in a at a at a in any sort of like negative way because at the end of the day, bro, you got to do the work and they did the work. What's wrong with them doing the work? Right. I think the biggest thing for me is the fact that, you know, you can say whatever you want about our community and nothing happens. That's not that's not true. That's not that's not necessarily true. Talk to me. Talk to me. Well, I mean, look what happened with it all depends on the market. Listen, you you cannot be somebody who worked for Nike and talk about the black community. You can't do it. You cannot do it, bro. They they will like they will pull you. And I think a lot of people have have have recognized wherever black people spend the most money, you cannot talk about black people. The other thing is, you know, the question then becomes, you know, how much of the market do we hold? In certain things. And so, you know, athletics, certain things, you know, Nike had to bend the knee when it came down to the the Black Lives Matter situation. It was listen, when when when when when white folks was was burning up, they the the Nikes, they was like, we don't care because these Jordans are selling. You know what we're going to do? Like you want to come on, man, like, nah, nah, it's not going to happen. But it all depends on the energy, man. In my opinion, I I I I hear you. I think, you know, we get caught up in the cycle of just optics. So, you know, a company puts, you know, the Black Lives Matter flag and they they do the LGBTQ stuff and we think they they support black people. And it's not true because when we look at where they're investing their money, it's going to things that are against the community. So I'm talking about past just the lip service of we support black people like what's on the ground, because unfortunately, the thing with our community is the people who are buying those Jordans, they wouldn't care if Michael Jordan was friends with Hitler and pictures came out tomorrow. Niggas are still by Jordans. They wouldn't care if the if the CEO of Nike was a Klans member. They would still and that's why they're the consequences aren't there. Because to your point earlier, the Jewish community, for instance, they're one band, one sound, right? So it's not it's not necessarily about optics or whatever the case means. Like is this corporation is this company doing things in our best interest? And if they're if they're not, we're all on the same page. But black folks, they're going to say, well, it ain't got nothing to do with Jordan. These are nice shoes. It ain't got nothing to do with, you know what I'm saying? We'll make reasons why we can move around that kind of group responsibility. I think again, it just comes with the idea that they move together and they have a purpose to do so. They had I think, you know, maybe back in the day that used to be, you know, so the civil rights movement, certain movements, certain galvanized movements that went in certain places. But as a as a as a whole, you know, there's a lot of like individuality amongst the community. There isn't a lot of cohesiveness. Um, but that it just takes, you know, individuals grinding hard enough, man. You know, you're grinding hard enough, having principles, saying, this is what we stand for, being consistent, coming to the table every day. This is what we do. This is what it means to be a part of this community. And as that community grows, more people will look at that and play. Hey, man, y'all are out here winning. Let me let me figure out what they doing. Let me see if I can get what you what you got going on. But it's not going to happen overnight, man. Um, as funny, man, I think we had this conversation before and it was a biblical thing. Right. We talked about the nation of Israel. And most people, some people might not know this. But if you look at, you know, how many individuals who made the first exodus out of out of Egypt, right? How many of those individuals made it into the Promised Land? It was like, like the individuals who made the the initial exodus out of out of Egypt into the Promised Land. People who made it were like, I think two, two or I mean, it was extremely minimal because what ended up happening was, you know, at some point, God was like, yo, look, y'all just not fit, man. Your kids. Yeah. Your kids can make it into the nation, the new land. That's cool. But y'all got to stay up out of here. Right. But the question then becomes if they knew that that was going to be the situation, how many of them would have fought for freedom? How many of them would have fought for the dream to be in that spot? So it's like, OK, what do you want? Do you want, you know, this community? Are you OK with fighting for that community, even though you might not see it? The possibility that your your children will reap the benefit of the thing that you fight for, do you? Are you still going to fight for it? Are you just going to give up? Right. And that's that's that's that's the that's the thing. I think, you know, you we look at, say, again, the Jewish community and you sit there and you like, man, they got they got this. But yeah, it took them several hundred years to do that. You know, they're playing they're playing 20, 30, 40, 50, 50 year games. And it's like, well, you want that? Cool. You have to pay the 50 year long game. You know, I in the book, politics is for power, right? I don't particularly like politics, but it's not for me. But one of the things it brought out was that if you are waiting, are you if you're trying, if you're assuming that like a presidential candidate is going to be fighting for anything that you want, you're literally 50 years too late. Because that person was groomed as a councilman all the way up and the people that he came all the way up from a councilman. Those are the people who are going to reap the benefit from that presidency. If you really want that, you get you. That's a 50 year long game to play. Right. Right. It goes back. I think it beautifully wraps up the chess versus checkers. You know, we're we're talking about marching and grassroots and and the real power is in collective economics. It's in pooling money together and actually getting power. But we have to trust each other first. We have to we have to be able to, you know, be on the same page as far as where we want to take this thing, where we want to take our community. But yeah, this ain't going to be a long stream, brother. Do you have any final thoughts, man, before I wrap this thing up? No, man, I'm I'm I want to talk to you afterwards because I got some ideas. OK, OK, I do be having some of those. And I might have some, you know, saying you ways to lighten low a little bit. OK, OK. Yeah, definitely, man. I'm I'm going to hit you after after the stream. But I appreciate you, brother. We're going to do this again. Yeah, absolutely, bro. Any time. All right, man. All right, man. Peace. Peace. Shout out. Shout out to my brother, Jammin. Again, to reiterate, please go follow the second channel for two reasons. Number one, in case this one gets deleted, that that'll be excuse me, that'll be the backup. Number two, I'll actually be posting the animations, the animation series after it it's released to our Patreons who will get early access to the to the strips and to the videos. It'll then be posted to the second channel and, you know, the vertical versions will be posted to, like, Instagram. So subscribe to the second channel. Go over to Instagram and I want you to do two things. If you haven't already, follow us on Instagram. Consider subscribing on Instagram. Instagram has a I think we're doing a three ninety nine four ninety nine dollar monthly subscription there. We're at twenty thousand followers on Instagram. So it's moving. We're getting some celebrity attention on Instagram. But forget all that. I want you to make sure you join the updates channel. So Instagram does broadcast channels. So join the updates channel whenever I post a video. I will alert you guys in there. Right now it has two hundred and seventy two members. But instead of the. Text notification that I was building out, we're going to do it this way instead, primarily because text notification is it costs, but this is a free alternative. And also, you know, if you become a member, you get added to the inner circle channel on on Instagram. But also, what's the Instagram Twitter called? Follow us on threads. Follow us on TikTok. I haven't been posting on TikTok because TikTok isn't necessarily welcoming of this type of content. But again, however you guys can support individually, please do hit the cash app, hit the like button if you haven't already. Go watch some old content. One of the cool things you can go to the channel. Let me pull this back up. You can go to the channel for those of you guys who might be new or who might not have really seen what we've accomplished these past year. You can go to the channel and now it allows you to filter by latest. So that's obviously the most recent things that I've posted. The most popular. And like I said, the Clarissa Shields case study is now number two, which is crazy because I only posted it two weeks ago. Courtney is still holding the number one spot at 172,000 views. But you can filter it this way to see what was the what were the most high performing videos. Most of them were under the Kevin Sam was started this conversation series. So there's a lot of heat in there. The table series, we actually just shot episode two recently. So I'll be, I'll be publishing that soon. But episode one has been moving. It was four weeks ago, 44,000 views. But yeah, check it out that way or another way to filter is oldest. So if you want to see what I was doing in college, this is some of what I was doing in college. This is baby face skinnier Allen. See it seven years ago up until. Yep. College Allen still. This was Baltimore Allen when I was living in Baltimore. So this was three years ago. And that's when I was doing what would now be considered case studies. But especially this happiness is boring. This one was really good. Me and somebody son, I think it was good. Women are like bathrooms. I think that's good. But yeah, there's a lot of stuff here that I think most people haven't seen. So take some time. Click that video tab, sort it however you want to sort it and look around. You know, I've got a series called Christian by default where I interview preachers and people who are consider themselves Christian. And we talk about theology. We talk about the Odyssey. Yeah, so it's not just relationship talk, right? There's there's a lot in here, but you guys have to help me. And, you know, again, click the like button to push it out into the into the ether. But also consider becoming a Patreon. Like I said, Patreons will get priority as far as content. And also, if you are already a Patreon, please message me if there's something that you want to see, if there's something that I haven't done. If there's a consultation that you'd like to schedule, I'm like Money Manager Media brought up. That's another way that I'm trying to help offset some of the costs. If you want a YouTube consultation, if you want to content strategy consultation, feel free to reach out to me, Instagram, Patreon. And we'll set something up. But yeah, man, I appreciate you guys. I will not be posting the the Alabama bra video again. I think I put it on. It's either on threads or Twitter or something like that. But it was only four minutes. So I wasn't going to make any money off of it anyway. But yeah, I don't want to I don't want to jinx it. If you forget how to navigate to the second channel, just go to the community tab. I can post here again. If you're interested in merch, click the store tab. We still got some merch. I'm actually working on relaunching it so I can own it as opposed to Spreadshop, but that's that's coming soon. But again, I appreciate you guys. You guys could have been doing anything. You could have been anywhere, but you chose to hang out with us for an hour and 26 minutes. So I'm forever grateful to each and every one of you guys. Again, if there's anything you think I can do better, if there's any way that I could provide additional value to you, please do not hesitate to reach out. But you guys have a great evening. Have a great rest of the week. Wish me luck on this job hunt. I finally got a second interview for for one position and I got an interview tomorrow. So I'm just hoping they don't look up the YouTube because they might be like, this nigga talking too much pro black shit. But I appreciate y'all again. Thank y'all so much. Good night and I'll see you soon. Peace.
