1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,440
Hey, what's up, guys? 
Yeah, I've been a second 

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:06,960
probably since you've heard my 
voice at least in a new version 

3
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:09,400
for a little bit. 
Yeah. 

4
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:13,080
So I just wanted to come on here
and kind of tell you what my 

5
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,640
plan is. 
I think it's been pretty clear 

6
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,000
to a lot of you guys that I've 
been. 

7
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,720
Well, I've still been active on 
YouTube and I've definitely 

8
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,720
still been active online, but 
it's been a really long time 

9
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,280
since I sat down and made a new 
story video. 

10
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:31,080
I'm, well, I'll just be honest, 
like I if you haven't noticed, I

11
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:35,160
am a little bit older and I've a
little bit of a different person

12
00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:38,240
at this point. 
I'm actually a couple weeks away

13
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:42,800
from finishing up my senior year
in college, which is insane 

14
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,800
because I'm sure that some of 
you guys started watching me 

15
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,440
when I wasn't even in college. 
I've a math major, so I'm not 

16
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,840
the biggest idiot ever, even 
though some of you guys might 

17
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:56,080
think that, but that's OK. 
A lot of what I do now is, you 

18
00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:00,000
know, I still do my social media
pages, but really I work on 

19
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,520
getting, you know, new clients 
and new leads through social 

20
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,000
media for businesses. 
So you can think of anything 

21
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,240
across the board, you know, 
financial advisors, drink 

22
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,400
companies. 
That's really what I do. 

23
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:16,600
And a lot of the work I do 
online on because I, you know, I

24
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,920
have an Instagram page and 
actually like in the last month,

25
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,920
I've got 150 million views on my
reels on there. 

26
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,240
And I know the content's a 
little different to what I'm 

27
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,320
doing on here or like on 
Snapchat. 

28
00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:31,600
Like at one point I was getting 
like 60 million views a month 

29
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,120
doing spotlight on there. 
And really what I'm doing is 

30
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:39,960
just learning how to grow as 
fast and be as like get as many 

31
00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:43,160
views as possible. 
So then I can use those skills, 

32
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,600
those those like tricks and 
tactics for these businesses. 

33
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,920
So that's all good and all, but 
you might be thinking, well, 

34
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,200
what's, you know, the title is 
probably something about like 

35
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,440
either I'm back or where I've 
been or some update or some kind

36
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,080
of something like that. 
Well, I've been kind of I've 

37
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,520
been posting content on the 
channel, but it's almost been 

38
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,640
like reruns. 
Like I pick like my favorite 

39
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,640
stories from the past or a 
collection of my favorite 

40
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,560
stories from the past. 
And I post them for the new 

41
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,120
people who haven't seen them 
before, but they haven't been 

42
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,880
new stories. 
And I'm going to be honest, I 

43
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:19,320
was kind of thinking to just 
kind of like fade into the 

44
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,200
sunset doing that and then 
probably just at some point to 

45
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,520
stop posting. 
But I did, I don't know, a 

46
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,640
couple of days ago, I just kind 
of had this. 

47
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,040
I went back and really kind of 
just thought about everything. 

48
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,920
And I have, I've kind of come to
the conclusion that I want to 

49
00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:40,080
have one last hurrah. 
So 1, I don't know how long. 

50
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:41,880
I don't know how long I'm going 
to do this. 

51
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,440
It could be a week or it could 
be another couple years for all 

52
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,040
I know. 
Honestly, I don't know. 

53
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,880
I want to have one last row 
where I come back and I just 

54
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,480
start telling the story because 
I have thousands of stories at 

55
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,240
this point. 
Submit new ones. 

56
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,520
I still always need new ones. 
But what I'm saying is I'm have 

57
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,040
plenty of stories that have been
submitted to me and there's some

58
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,200
funny new ones I want to tell 
right away. 

59
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,160
And there's just a lot of 
stories that I have. 

60
00:03:07,640 --> 00:03:10,160
I want to have one last hurrah 
because at the end of the day, 

61
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,000
like, this channel did mean a 
lot to me. 

62
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,880
And it's meant a lot. 
And it's, you know, the 

63
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:15,640
foundation of the business I 
have now. 

64
00:03:15,640 --> 00:03:18,800
And there's so many memories and
so many, like, difficult periods

65
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:23,200
throughout my life. 
I was able to get sucked away 

66
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,760
and be a YouTube guy, like be a 
YouTube for that time. 

67
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,440
And like, yeah, there's a lot of
painful memories associated with

68
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,880
this as well. 
But you know, that's kind of how

69
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,080
a lot of that's how important 
things in your life act like 

70
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:36,440
it's not just going to be all 
good. 

71
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,440
And I, yeah, I don't know, I 
think I just want to do this one

72
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:43,520
last time and the viewership's 
going to be a lot lower 'cause I

73
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:49,120
basically quit and that's fine. 
I really at this point, like 

74
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,760
thankfully with the business 
stuff and all other stuff or 

75
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,160
whatever, like financially, I'm 
not like tied to needing to do 

76
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,320
this as much as maybe I did 
before, which is a cool place to

77
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,800
be. 
But I really just wanted like a 

78
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,800
one last ride for those who 
still want or are still watching

79
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,160
or those who are new from this 
video or anyone, right? 

80
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,480
Maybe you haven't watched my 
stories in years and you just 

81
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,760
want to you're coming back for 
just one last time. 

82
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,880
I think once I kind of quit 
again, it will actually be for 

83
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,519
real. 
So this is think of it like a 

84
00:04:18,519 --> 00:04:23,080
season finale, but it could be 
years long season finale for all

85
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:24,960
I know, or it could be a couple 
weeks. 

86
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,000
But I just wanted to make this 
video kind of give some context 

87
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,320
because I think a lot of people 
online are confused like what 

88
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:35,480
the hell is going on? 
And really just like summary. 

89
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:40,280
Like I just I, I, I run a 
business now that helps other 

90
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:44,160
businesses just get more 
clients, customers sell product,

91
00:04:44,280 --> 00:04:46,440
whatever they want through 
social media. 

92
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,360
So I use my platforms to learn 
the strategies to grow the 

93
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:51,920
biggest. 
And I also make money directly 

94
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,600
from them too. 
Don't get me wrong, but I just 

95
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,320
kind of in a sense grew out of 
making the stories. 

96
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,240
I just don't watch anyone that 
does anything like what I do and

97
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,520
I used to really be involved in 
the space, but I I want to have 

98
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,040
one last raw for how however 
many people watch really at this

99
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,240
point, it's not the point. 
The point is to do this one last

100
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:16,920
time as kind of a thank you to 
the fans, as a just a kind of 

101
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,800
remembering like the great time 
this was. 

102
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,760
And then maybe this could last 
for years. 

103
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,960
Maybe this is the second coming 
of this channel. 

104
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,720
Maybe this is not the last 
hurrah, but the next wave. 

105
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,840
But I think it's think of it 
more as like the final season. 

106
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:37,520
So get your stories in now. 
Go to Instagram or Snapchat and 

107
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,200
message me on there with your 
stories. 

108
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,400
And yeah, I actually think I 
will be posting a fresh news 

109
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,560
story in a couple hours after 
you see this, so enjoy that. 

110
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,720
Turn your notifications back on 
if you turn them off because 

111
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:51,960
you're wearing a fan of the 
reruns. 

112
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:53,840
And I get it. 
And yeah.
