 I implore all of you. I don't know. I just said implore. I never use that word. I don't even know what that means Today I'm finally gonna go get roller skates. I'm really excited. So why don't you come with me and get some roller skates? Joe So I took a Uber to a bus stop to then go buy some roller blades and skate home. That's what you call diversifying your All right, so my friend's here where she's getting here I don't know how much of this I'm gonna be able to film because it's not in the best area So I shouldn't have my big big camera out. We're in the taxi. Hello, Geraldine. This is my friend who is helping me get Las patinas Patinas Roller blades roller blades the roller blades they have been Obtained now. It's time to put them on and cruise all over the city the guy at the counter was like do you want any wrist guards or Things for your knees and I was like no brow because I am danger ass I also like to live dangerously actually He didn't he didn't ask me that I probably should get some knee shin guards and knee Savers because I'm definitely prone to accidents. Check out this girl's kicks. No Screw is just fresh Head to toe. All right now. We're getting some kind of Yogurt and granola thing. It's a yogurt and granola thing. You wouldn't understand. You just don't get it. We're cheese Yogurt, you know, that's what they do in Colombia. I got skates on my feet All right, send you the shit. See you later It's a free I feel so free. I love it So I just found this roller skating rink. Actually, I didn't find it She found it because it's right behind where you buy skates. Look at this. It's a full rink. All right, let's do a quick tour What's up ladies and gentlemen, I feel I feel really amped up this week has been insanely insanely busy and Brandon and I are totally maxed out. However, the point I wanted to make in this vlog was that I Want to talk about finding something to do that you are obsessed with Someone posed a question the other day when we got done with our ayahuasca trip and they were like dude How can you edit a video like you just got done done doing ayahuasca? How are you in the state of mind to edit a video and my immediate answer and reaction was I'm obsessed. I am obsessed with this community like I Wake up every single morning and the first thing that I do All the people who are really into like personal development and morning routines would be like dude. That's so bad for you, man I wake up every morning and I immediately look at all my notifications from YouTube from Facebook from our community Like my world basically revolves just around our little community. Well growing communities and the reason why I think it's good To be obsessed rather than just oh, yeah I love what I do is because It gives me any way the kind of like hardcore purpose that I crave in my life. I'm someone who I Don't want to just love what I do. I don't want to like, you know be like, oh, yeah It's so great every blah blah blah like I want to be like dude I can't sleep like I can't wake up and not do this and for me That's Making videos regarding fitness and how to be healthy and doing it in an entertaining way So that is my obsession. I implore all of you I don't know. I just said implore. I never use that word. I don't know what that means I Suggest that all of you guys Do the same thing find something that you are obsessed with and do that as much as possible I got a little emotional yesterday because I was just thinking about Zendu fitness and Zendu fitness has only been around for a little bit more than a year and For those of you guys, you know, like I don't want to sound on this vlog I want to give you guys the unfiltered version of what my life is and I feel like sometimes on YouTube and other places on the Internet You don't get that so for example last year when we started our business I think a lot of people just assumed like all these guys like are doing really well They have a presence. They have a business like they figured it out. They must be so lucky Yeah, last year was not easy Okay, last year was easily the best year of my life hands down I think I think both Brandon and I can look at each other like yeah That's best year ever but Oh my god business-wise it was tough like starting a business Getting hard like there was just there were just days where we're just making content And we didn't know if our YouTube channel was gonna grow We didn't know if we're gonna be able to sell jump ropes like we didn't know What people wanted we just kept producing content that we really love and we and helped us and Thought maybe it would help other people We are gonna have a million YouTube subscribers We're just literally gonna do whatever it takes like I don't care if we work every single day for the next five years We're gonna get to a million so we've always had that confidence in ourselves But you do still kind of have this thing of like Okay, well, we might be able to grow a successful YouTube channel, but how are we gonna make money? how's this business going to survive and Fast forward a year later till now. We're not killing it. We're not making millions of dollars But we have hit a point in our business that we're like, oh my goodness Like we have we've created a sustainable business that we now is growing so fast that we need to hire people and You know, it's gaining enough momentum that this is a real Tangible business that could potentially last for a long time. So I am first of all just so I'm trying not to swear as much on this vlog, but whatever I'm so grateful like I You know, I didn't have a terrible life before this like I had a great job with a great software company in a great city I lived in New York. I lived in Austin before that. I lived in DC like I had a good life, but To be at the point that I am now after taking such a huge risk is So gratifying and I say that because there's so many people there's so many of you out there who have a passion I know this because people tell me it all the time we get hit up. We get contacted all the time Random friends I meet they say this all the time. There are so many people who have amazing talents and They want to do something about it, but they're so afraid to start This isn't to say everyone should quit their job and start their own business You can still have a regular job, but start a passion that might make you Supplemental income or to provide you supplemental happiness that makes your overall life better, but more of the story is guys Just do something that you're obsessed with and stop caring what other people think at the end of the day Like it doesn't matter if you feel good doing it then your life is gonna be better Trying to get some work done. It's like state state. I've been slacking on the fruit water day Because I haven't I haven't been to Brandon's and he's the one who usually has the fruit water. So today Athletic greens water athletic greens water Also, Zambia nation someone commented on our video yesterday yesterday's video was the three supplements that we take every day And they're like is this a product promotion video and I was thinking myself like yeah It is promotion. We are promoting the products. Of course. We're promoting products And of course we want to make money off them like I took athletic greens way before we started promoting it So like yeah, of course, I want to get athletic greens for free and yeah I want athletic greens to pay me to do that like I never understood when people get bitter about stuff like that like You know, I don't know Maybe you really like maybe you really like DeWalt buzz saws because you go to Home Depot a lot and You know if DeWalt called you up and they're like, hey Rick You've been making a lot of nice houses lately We want to buy all your souls for you and all you have to do is make a YouTube video that says I use DeWalt souls every day Then you know, that's awesome Then you get to make money and still continue to use what you love So when people are like, well, this is a paid endorsement or you guys get like free product for promoting these products And my answer is like hell. Yeah, of course Tyler's dead. You killed Tyler Murphy. Why'd you do that? That's also a lesson anyone looking to start a company or a brand and you want to promote products that you already use and truly believe in Don't let people discourage you from doing it. You shamelessly promote those products. Use them. Love them Make money off them holler at your boy
