 Hey guys, Sarkates here coming from 21 studios live. It's kind of an interesting thing being here You know, we joke that it not only is it the home of Anthony dream Johnson and the 21 residence studio But it's also not only that the center of the Manisphere and in many ways the White House of the Manisphere, so I'm coming to you not to discuss that but to kind of point out two really important things The first off is you're simply not me and in a very sincere way It's not because I am personal friends with Anthony Johnson That I've spoken for more than ten years at the events and many many of these speakers there are now within my circle of Influence and friends and associates and I've gained them tremendously from that or the fact that I wear these artesian shirts But let's talk about the shirts really quick The shirts themselves are a touchdown for me because it reminds me that life is both dynamic and colorful and to not be afraid to express yourself and so when I go to a convention particularly at the Manisphere events and I Speak I want to be reminded of that and likewise. I also know that art is very much a moralistic endeavor it requires value and it requires that value and Confidence to draw a line and in today's cultural environment We need to do just that each and every one of us need to become confident artists We need to be able to draw moral lines. So let's talk about that. That's where I'm unique I have the ability to converse with Anthony. I have the ability to converse with the speakers I have the opportunities to gain from them very much like you have The difference though is I try to give back on a regular basis and this is specifically why I'm sitting in this chair today I have the opportunity to on occasion buy the man a drink To be the ear that he needs when he needs to listen to support And to realize when certain things need to be done and how to support that the problem is When you're a viewer of these videos and you're not fully immersed and engaged in real life like I am You miss out on those opportunities And in a significant way I have a lot to be thankful and this is where you and I Are very very similar. I know I have gained tremendously from my association with anthony 21 convention the summits the speakers It has shaped not only my own life and how I've managed to navigate life. It has actually Brought my life from what would have been tragedy as I you know aged and progressed and had many concerns about today's sexual marketplace And my viability in it, but it has changed my ability to go from tragedy To one of comedy and that is immensely important in a man's life And it's a hero's journey in many ways and because of that I get to see my daughter on a regular basis And it is the crowning achievement of my life. I love her dearly And I cannot express how important that Is to me and how much anthony and anthony's work has contributed to them now If anthony and 21 convention and these videos have touched you in similar ways I'm going to ask you to act on your values because values unacted on Like dormant they stale and they rot and they really cannot be seen as virtues because Virtues are values enacted and we need to act on our virtues and and embrace those So what I'm going to ask you to do is actually go to the 21 studios Donate page and find a listing of information of what you can do. Yes, you can donate. Yes Go buy the man a beer. Okay. If you want buy him dinner. I know he would appreciate that The other thing you can do more importantly specifically for yourself is join 21 university It is literally a netflix ferment. It's it's entertaining all the videos are there add free now I like the the videos that we can get on youtube for free. There's nothing better than free But you know what's actually more important than free It's not just that you're getting the videos on an uninterrupted You're putting your money where you value and that money goes contribute to build more to expand the capabilities of 21 studios and to get other voices that you are listening to In front of a camera and record it and that's the importance of joining 21 university. Yes, you get the videos. Yes, they're fantastic Yes, there's damn near 2500 videos that are available Reaching out to 76 million men and people like you That's tremendous Crazy thing is anthony does that for free outside 21 universities So let's also talk about what the current events We we know that we live in a very very dynamic and a collected age And our rights and liberties are very much transcendent That they're being challenged and it's not just 21 studios It's other other media right now. Joe rogan and spot a fire going through huge censorship programs You know, it is a cultural battle and very recently YouTube studios or youtube studios youtube has censored 21 studios literally pulled this partnership program. Otherwise known as demonetizing That interrupts not only the video content that's being produced But your ability to get it for free now. This is a really strange thing to do We get that the fact that we're talking about men's issues and men's rights and things I've pertained to men and that can be challenging for a lot of people It could be very triggering for for many liberals and I you know, we understand that But we've had a very long history more than 15 years with this channel Producing content during this time that had absolutely no warnings No strikes No errors and in many cases what I find really remarkable is that anthony has actually put forth videos to be reviewed and approved Prior release with all that being said There was literally a shutdown of the of the partnership program for 21 studios. That is Really amazing. Uh, it's it's outrageous Now the issue is we can talk about how it affects anthony and the company and the funding and all that serves up the reality is That's a lifeline for you If anthony isn't able to do what he's doing, you don't get that content and what ends up happening We go underground back to where we were before men become isolated men become Alienated and men and women that don't have a sense of community Do not foster do not flourish. They do not thrive I don't want to take a step back in time when men's we're talking about men's issues and relationships and sexual marketplace and sexual politics of today's culture in an underground facility in an underground culture where the the worst of us Thrived and we're not seeing the light of day. They were not able to be exposed They were not able to be brought forth in the light of day and held accountable to their views viewpoints positions nor Their actions and behaviors within the community It is a world of charlatans in a very dark corner of the world We're heading back there 21 studios stands absolutely in opposition to this. We want to say it in the light of day We want to be seen by our positions those that are poses to put up content so What we'll also note Is that there have been changes because of what's been taking place The manisphere and the center of it is moving addresses You can find 21 studios as they move to the new locals And this is going to be a new source for social media They're going to release the audio speeches early and the content available out there for that But we need to find platforms that will not censor nor shut us down until we're able to support our own domain This is a free speech competitor to patreon and many of the other social enabling social funding sites available That we do know that are actively socially Against a lot of the stuff that we are talking about and the dialogue and narratives We'd like to be able to put forward to everybody in the world Now what are some of the things you can do go and join it's simple Go like subscribe make sure you're able to maintain and get that funding or I'd say funding the sources of material The second is I would sit down and say probably the most significant Is plan to attend a live event because if you're not doing self-improvement live You're not doing self-improvement for real and in earnest, you know So going to a 21 seminar Summit is one of the most important things you can do. It's voting with your feet It's and it's putting your values in action in a very real tangible way that is very much a Sense of self expression and an adventure. Don't get me wrong. It is an adventure I would like to see you to be able to attend to meet me live to speak to the other attendees To meet the other speakers and have dialogues to actually spend that time and be immersed One on one during that entire time period and in being engaged actively not just show up But truly attend and partake, you know, the next thing you can do is is make sure that you Incorporate this attendance With some measure of self-improvement that you intend to do, you know And tied to something real almost like a workout plan a social plan Whatever you want to do get versed and not just attend but be prepared understand who the speakers are going to be See some of the other speeches have questions prepared Journal it and then make sure you're engaging on a daily basis. Some of the most important times I believe are in between the presentations lunch, particularly dinner and then that evening Where everybody's in the hotel in the resorts and are just sitting and conversing and carrying on conversations of the day And getting to meet other like-minded people that are intrigued that want to be entertained by this material That want to learn and want to improve their lives So please If your values are important to you and you don't want to see this material disappear for your life and rely on Have been touched in it in any meaningful way. Please reach out visit 21 studios.com See the donation page It has all the material that you can look to see what you can do whether it's simply donating Whether it's joining 21 university the Netflix for men or attending the next 21 presentations and symposiums and seminars, please do so It's for your own benefit. And I hope to see you there. Thank you
