1
00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 1: Hi. I am Kate Hudson and my name is Oliver Hudson.

2
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: We wanted to do something that highlighted our relationship and

3
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 1: what it's like to be siblings. We are a sibling. Railvalry. No, no, sibling,

4
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:36,160
Speaker 1: you don't do that with your mouth. Revelry. That's good.

5
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: Here we go, Here we go, Here we go, starting

6
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: another podcast. It's Oliver Hudson. I know you can't see

7
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: video right now unless this is posted as a clip.

8
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 1: But I'm in my daughter's room. I've got the stuffed

9
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: animals behind me. I've got our door covered with purple pictures.

10
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: It's there's a lot going on in here right now.

11
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 1: But this is my life. I have to move from

12
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: room to room. You would think after this many years

13
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: of doing a podcast that have a dedicated space. My

14
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: dedicated space is the children's bedrooms. Currently, the boys have

15
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: late days, so they're sleeping in their rooms. My daughter

16
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 1: at a regular day. So now I'm in her room,

17
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 1: sitting at her makeup desk, which if you could see this,

18
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: it's I'm not going to show you because it's too much.

19
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 1: There's so much stuff going on right now. She's only twelve.

20
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: I don't know maybe I did something wrong. Anyway, we're here,

21
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: we're chilling, and it's Christmas time, and I love me

22
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: some Christmas time. I did a Christmas movie. I don't

23
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: know where it's at on the charts right now, but

24
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: it was doing very very well. How to blast, I've

25
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: coined myself mister Christmas because in a short span of

26
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: time I had a movie in Netflix movie that was Christmas.

27
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: I did a gingerbread baking show that I hosted which

28
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: was Christmas. And I was on The Great British Bake Off,

29
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: the Celebrity edition. Celebrity. I guess that's what I am.

30
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: You know, the definition of my celebrity might be different

31
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 1: from sort of like a Brad Pitt, you know what

32
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: I mean, but a celeb nonetheless, and it was an

33
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: amazing experience and I fucking won, all right. Got a

34
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: Paul Hollywood handshake in case you haven't seen it. And

35
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: so I'm mister Christmas. That's who I am. Anyway, we

36
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: have a cool guest in the waiting room right now.

37
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 1: Empty Motivator is his Instagram handle, and that's how I

38
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: know him. He comes across my feet all the time.

39
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: His real name is Zachary Darnowski, and he just spreads

40
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: love and joy and happy and generosity. You know, his vulnerability,

41
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 1: and he's extremely heartfelt. And it's nice to see because

42
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: today it's all bad shit. Every time we turn on

43
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 1: the TV, every time or algorithm picks up something that

44
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,119
Speaker 1: might be a little negative, we just get fed all

45
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: of this horrible shit. But Zach is doing it correctly,

46
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: he's doing it right. He's raising money for people, he's

47
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 1: giving money away, he's helping people's lives. So let's just

48
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:36,839
Speaker 1: bring him on and have a DISCUSSI hey, Oliver, where

49
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: are you.

50
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 2: I'm in New York City? How about yourself?

51
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: I'm in my daughter's room at my house. If you

52
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: can't tell, I've got pink and purple all around me.

53
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: I've got stuffed animals. You know, this is my life.

54
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: I've been doing this for four or five years, and

55
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: I have no dedicated podcast space. I just hop around

56
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: for my kids' rooms when they're not in school.

57
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 2: They must be honored. Their room looks great.

58
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: No, it's not. They're not honored. They come home and

59
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: they're like, Dad, like, were you in my room doing

60
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: your dumb podcast? I'm like yes, Like why how do

61
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: you know? This because because you left your computer here

62
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: and now the dog came into my room and he

63
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: ate my track. I'm like, oh god, I can't win.

64
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: What are you doing? In New York?

65
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 2: We're doing a few videos. So we did something with

66
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 2: Big Brothers, Big Sisters this morning. They have the Foundation.

67
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 2: There's a big conference here and it's surprising people here

68
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 2: in New York with a banking app called Chimes. So yeah,

69
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 2: it's nice here.

70
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: So I got to get into this because I've you've

71
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: come across my feed. You know, forever, you're in my algorithm,

72
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 1: which I think is a good thing, you know what

73
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: I mean, Which means that you know, there is some

74
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: there is some positivity and some bright light to my algorithm,

75
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: although it can get dark at times, you know what

76
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: I mean. Yeah, yeah, I know it's crazy. But how

77
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: did this all start? Because you're Canadian. You grew up

78
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: in Windsor. I was just in Vancouver and I'm actually

79
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 1: back to Vancouver. I was in Toronto, did a movie

80
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: in Toronto. My parents lived in Canada for years.

81
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 2: So where in Canada did your parents live?

82
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 1: They lived in BC you know, for five years. My

83
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: brother played hockey, so they moved up there. With him.

84
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, whar he was out there?

85
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's beautiful. But I was in Toronto in February.

86
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: It was snowy, snowy, snow.

87
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 2: You can get cold there, especially January February the time

88
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 2: of year.

89
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: So how did you get to where you got?

90
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 2: You know?

91
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 1: I mean I was looking you up and sort of

92
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: researching you a little bit, and it definitely wasn't the

93
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 1: initial career path. So how did this all happen?

94
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 2: I grew up my whole life. I knew I wanted

95
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 2: to be a doctor, and I finally got accepted into

96
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 2: medical school after years and years of working towards that.

97
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 2: And my dream was to become a doctor, but it

98
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 2: was also to live in Sydney, Australia. In Australia, and

99
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 2: I got accepted to the University of Sydney Medical School

100
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 2: and I started there in January of twenty twenty. And

101
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 2: when you say twenty twenty, everyone thinks the pandemic, and

102
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 2: when the pandemic, everyone has an emotional response to that.

103
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 2: And school went online immediately. When I got there medical school,

104
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 2: I tore my ACL and needed surgery for my knee.

105
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 2: A week later that me and my girlfriend of six years.

106
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 2: We broke up and she was like my identity and

107
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 2: my happiness and I didn't have any new friends because

108
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 2: it was all online, and I was afraid to tell

109
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 2: anyone back home how I was feeling because who am

110
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 2: I to complain? And it was just this too much,

111
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 2: too all at once thing in my life. And it

112
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 2: was the middle of one night I went for I

113
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 2: was living with one of my roommates in medical school,

114
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 2: and I knew I was going to like cry or

115
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 2: just be in a really really dark place, and I

116
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 2: didn't want to like let him know what I was feeling.

117
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 2: So I went for a walk one night and I

118
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 2: just started to like sit down and I was crying,

119
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,559
Speaker 2: just sitting down on the ground, and these two women

120
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 2: in their mid to late thirties, they came up to

121
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 2: me and they just said, Hey, are you okay? And

122
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 2: I said, obviously I'm fine. And one heard them to

123
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 2: see that I tear, so I was trying to wipe it,

124
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 2: and they said, what's going on? And what they did

125
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 2: in that moment, Oliver, changed my life forever. They just

126
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 2: sat there in the we cement and they listened to

127
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 2: this stranger from Canada cry and just talk about what

128
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 2: was going on in his life. And I'll never forget

129
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 2: that next morning when I woke up and just that

130
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 2: relief of off my shoulders and realizing that like talking

131
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 2: to a stranger, as weird as it was, made me

132
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 2: feel like I was moving out of that dark hole

133
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 2: that I was getting myself further and further, and I

134
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 2: was really questioning my life at that point, and then

135
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 2: I started. I told my parents back home how I

136
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 2: was feeling, and then my med school classmate was like,

137
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 2: I said, I want to I don't forget exactly what

138
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 2: I said to him, but I just said something along

139
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 2: the lines like I want to be like that for

140
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 2: somebody else. So I over a few weeks, I thought,

141
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 2: why not blindfold myself it hugged strangers because maybe there's

142
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 2: other strangers out there that need a hug or need

143
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 2: someone just to listen to. And then after that, my

144
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 2: med school classmates was like, maybe there's people online like

145
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 2: and they're stuck in their homes that could connect to

146
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 2: that that you're not gonna meet. Maybe you should make videos.

147
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 2: So that's how the TikTok journey started. And empty motivator

148
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 2: stands for medical doctor motivator because I was just trying

149
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 2: to motivate myself down a path. Yeah, there's way more

150
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 2: to it. But then at that point, wow, the video started.

151
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: So wait, going back, you were in Australia, broke up

152
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,239
Speaker 1: with your girlfriend, which of course can be very difficult,

153
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: especially if you have wrapped up your entire identity in

154
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: a person, which essentially is a codependency you know what

155
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: I mean, which isn't healthy at the end of the day.

156
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: So for you, what kind of a place did you

157
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: get into? I mean, I know the girl was gone,

158
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: but when you were having that moment and sort of

159
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: questioning everything, were you questioning your career path, were you

160
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: questioning your motivation and life you know? Or was it

161
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: just pure heartbreak and sadness.

162
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 2: I mean, if I was twenty eight, I felt super alone.

163
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 2: I was in hundreds of thousands of dollars a debt.

164
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 2: I feel like I wasted money time. I didn't have

165
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 2: a plan to need to fall back on. I was

166
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 2: in with my classmates, who I knew there was some

167
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 2: in that class that I would pay anything for them

168
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 2: to be my doctor. Some might pay anything for them

169
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 2: not to be my doctor. I knew I was somewhere

170
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 2: in the middle. So I knew at that point that

171
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 2: this wasn't my end all be all, like what's my

172
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 2: why am I here on earth? Like what's my life meaning? Have?

173
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 2: Like I just felt so alone, lost, confused and not

174
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 2: knowing where to start in that conversation. So it was

175
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 2: like paralysis too where I was at.

176
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, it's so interesting because it is so true

177
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: where a stranger who reaches out and cares and asks

178
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 1: the right questions and opens themselves up to you. Opening

179
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,719
Speaker 1: up can really be cathartic in the sense that there

180
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: are no judgments, there are no pressures, you don't know

181
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 1: this person, and yeah, exactly. I mean in a way

182
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: it's it's therapy, but you've and better because you can

183
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: just let it all go, and there's something sort of

184
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: special about that, you know. And so when you started

185
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 1: to make these videos, at what point where you're like,

186
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: oh shit, wait a minute, this is actually affecting people.

187
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: It is blowing up right now, this is my new path.

188
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,559
Speaker 2: I mean, like the first time I started making videos,

189
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 2: it immediately people were messaging me saying this video say,

190
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 2: I don't know how much truely this it saved my

191
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 2: life and just stream language like that. So I knew

192
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 2: right from the get go that the videos were impacting people.

193
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 2: But it was the first time, Oliver, that in twenty

194
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 2: eight years, I felt purposeful and myself. So I didn't

195
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 2: think that was going to lead to or how long

196
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 2: it would lead for where it would go to, but

197
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,319
Speaker 2: I knew I found something for the first time that

198
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 2: was confident, whether you agreed or disagree with me making

199
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 2: content that I felt myself. So that was how I

200
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 2: felt confident enough to tell my parents that I'm going

201
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 2: to quit medical school and I moved back home and

202
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 2: there to make TikTok video.

203
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: How did that go?

204
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 2: How do you think it was? What do you want

205
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 2: for your kids more than anything? Right?

206
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: Well, happiness because from health, Yes, for me, right because

207
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: it's just all us.

208
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, you have a good parent regarding ah support of

209
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 2: fortunate that I did. My parents have no idea about

210
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 2: social media or what I was doing, and they knew

211
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 2: how hard I worked or what we sacrificed financially to

212
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 2: be able to do that to go to medical school.

213
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 2: So they just saw I wasn't happy and I wasn't healthy,

214
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 2: so they let me move back home in my small

215
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 2: town in Canada, Windsor Ontario, like you said, And my

216
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 2: friend at the time never recorded a video. He played

217
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 2: high school basketball with me, he got a camera, he

218
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 2: believed in what I was doing. He volunteered for two

219
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 2: months for free, and then it immediately just it took off.

220
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 2: But if it wasn't for my parents' support, if it

221
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 2: wasn't for my friend, if it wasn't for those you

222
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 2: know what's crazy is all of those two women that night.

223
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 2: To this day, I have no idea that that effort

224
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 2: created that and I haven't been I'm going back to

225
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,719
Speaker 2: for the first time next month with a mission to

226
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 2: find them.

227
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: Wouldn't that be amazing if you were able to Yeah,

228
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: you know, I mean incredible. Ah, No, you're right. I

229
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: mean parents have expectations for their kids. Some put way

230
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 1: more than they should. You know, for me growing up,

231
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: you know, we didn't have great expectations put on us.

232
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 1: It was the same thing that I'm trying to pass

233
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: on to my kids, which is just be happy. You know,

234
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: stay healthy. Sometimes that's uncontrollable, but just be happy and

235
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: good and be a good human being, you know what

236
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: I mean. Walk outside every day and enjoy the air

237
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: because it's not gonna last very long. You know what

238
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: I'm saying, So just enjoy yourself. Don't put so much

239
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: stress on yourself, you know, And you're right, I mean,

240
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: that is the impetus, that's the catalyst for what why

241
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 1: you have become so successful and why you were following

242
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: your life's passion and sort of how you stumbled into it,

243
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 1: which is cool too. Were you like this before? You

244
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: seem like you have such a really beautiful, sort of

245
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: sensitive nature about you. Was this who you always have been?

246
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 2: That's the coolest thing to me is that, like not

247
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 2: trying to hype myself up my hometown. I've always said,

248
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 2: always doing it for the video of the cameras. But

249
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 2: then I have friends or people that I've just aren't

250
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 2: even friends with, just knew from like high school or

251
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 2: passing by. I worked with the McDonald's like this salesac's

252
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 2: always been and it just it's cool to see that.

253
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 2: I guess I've had that impact. Obviously completely different in

254
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 2: the video world, but yeah, I love talking to strangers.

255
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 2: I love hearing people's stories. I usually like being on

256
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 2: your side of the stick where I get to ask

257
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 2: the question. I can just listen.

258
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,199
Speaker 1: But I know that's fun.

259
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is because you get to learn so much, right.

260
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean you and I are not

261
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: dissimilar in that I'm not a very surface person. I'm

262
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 1: not a small talk person because the truth is, that's

263
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: all the good stuff is, you know what I mean.

264
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: It's when you get specific and you're really asking the

265
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: questions and not just sort of hey, how are you?

266
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: How is your day? You know, it's like, well, what else.

267
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 2: I've explained this story probably at least one hundred times

268
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 2: to like the six year relationship, this this, You're the

269
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 2: first person asked me about the identity and happiness thing

270
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 2: or make a comment on that person. So, yeah, you

271
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 2: do pay attention to the details.

272
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: Really well, oh yeah.

273
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 2: I have a lot to still learn in relationships.

274
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: Oh dude, I don't think we ever ever stop learning,

275
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: ever stop evolving. You know. That's the beauty of self

276
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: analysis is if you really love it, which I do,

277
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: it can be painful as shit, but it's also you know,

278
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: it just expands your mind and expands your character. It

279
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: will never end. And I'm constantly on a search one

280
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: way or another. You know, what's it? Why do I

281
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 1: feel this way? Or how do I remedy this or

282
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: how do I be better here? Or not only that,

283
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: but also just giving yourself grace and forgiveness and having

284
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: compassion for yourself when you do go off the rails.

285
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: I think we hold ourselves sometimes so rigidly to you

286
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: know what is right, that once we slip a little bit,

287
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: it's like you hit yourself over the head, when really

288
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: it's like, no, dude, we're human beings. Man like, we fail,

289
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: we make mistakes. We can wallow in the darkness for

290
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: a while. That's okay, you know what I mean. I

291
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: don't think that's a bad thing as long as you

292
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: know how to get out and there's a ladder, you

293
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Absolutely Yeah. So when you started

294
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 1: to realize that this was a business, did you wrestle

295
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: it all with sort of you know, your philanthropy essentially

296
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: your emotional philanthropy and commerce and sort of how those

297
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: things match up.

298
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 2: It's been a really weird journey. So like a few

299
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 2: months into making videos. We mean, my videographer I said

300
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 2: that volunteered. At the time, we were sitting at a

301
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 2: pizza shop having lunch and I got this email from

302
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 2: YouTube saying you just got paid six hundred and forty

303
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 2: six dollars and I go to his name's Patrick Patrick.

304
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 2: We just got paid six hundred and forty six. That

305
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 2: was the best amount of money I've ever received because

306
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 2: I was like, we're helping people, but we can still

307
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 2: pay our bills. By doing this, I can to be here.

308
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 2: So I had no idea that this could be like

309
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 2: a business or a revenue stream, Like I had such

310
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 2: delusion when I did this, like if this didn't work,

311
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 2: I don't know where i'd be today. To be honest

312
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 2: with you, I'll be working somewhere. I don't know. I

313
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 2: don't know what i'd be doing in Windsor. But yeah,

314
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 2: it's it was really interesting to see that it's a

315
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 2: space where you can obviously self fund and create, but

316
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 2: we've created vertical. So we have a nonprofit called Kindness

317
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 2: is Cool. So one hundred percent of the donations go

318
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 2: in and then one hundred percent go directly to the

319
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 2: people that we impact. So I've learned that people not

320
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 2: always want to help charities, but people always want to

321
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 2: help and support people. That never seems to go out

322
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 2: of style in terms of people connecting with stories right

323
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 2: on an individual basis. So there's that aspect there's the nonprofit,

324
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 2: then there's obviously like the streams from like the platforms,

325
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,479
Speaker 2: and then brands that have also sponsored that allow us

326
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 2: to give it at a greater.

327
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: Scale of course, like like what you're doing with the chime.

328
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we wouldn't be able to do otherwise. So

329
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 2: it's been really awesome, whether it's celebrities or brands that

330
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 2: have sponsored and allowed us to create such life changing things.

331
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 2: But the biggest videos are always the ones where we

332
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 2: crowd fund for individuals or families and one hundred thousand

333
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 2: people donate five dollars and we're able to give away

334
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 2: half a million dollars to a family. Just yeah, life

335
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 2: changing opportunities.

336
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: So how do you how do you decide on your subjects?

337
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 2: I mean, like they decide on me, right, it's just

338
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 2: like you talking to me, just like it's an energy thing.

339
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 2: I'd say about eighty percent of the time, it's just random.

340
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 2: There's no vetting process. It's just going on talking to strangers.

341
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 2: So sometimes I'll be out there for like ten twenty minutes,

342
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 2: sometimes six seven hours until like it's just like the

343
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 2: right conversation, the right opportunity, they're being kind and then

344
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 2: you get to snowball all the yeah, oh and yeah,

345
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 2: I get to do that every day.

346
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 1: So when you raise money for people, though, how do

347
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 1: you sort of vet them or how do you, yeah,

348
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 1: sort of choose them. I mean you you sort of

349
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,479
Speaker 1: in a way catch feelings for some of these people.

350
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 2: So I don't go in there thinking we're going to

351
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 2: crowdfund for them. So if there's ever like an opportunity,

352
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,199
Speaker 2: say we give you all of our like super Bowl tickets,

353
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 2: but I find out that you're struggling to pay your

354
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 2: rent bill or you about to get evicted, if there's

355
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 2: more to the story from a financial standpoint, we'll always

356
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 2: crowdfund for the individual or family. I don't go in

357
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 2: there assuming a crowd fund, even like my mom, so

358
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 2: I show my mom all my videos before I post

359
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,360
Speaker 2: them'll be like Zach, you've done too many crowdfunds. People

360
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 2: are going to stop donating. There's never been a time, Oliver,

361
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 2: where we haven't reached our crowdfunding goals minimum at least

362
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 2: twenty thousand dollars up until, like I said, over half

363
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 2: a million dollars. So they find that and then it's

364
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 2: what we do with the money. So at first it

365
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 2: would just be all right, here's seven thousand the twenty

366
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 2: thousand dollars. But we've learned that over time. Obviously that

367
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 2: money doesn't solve money problems. No, yeah, sometimes it creates more.

368
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 2: So now we have financial advisors, we set money aside,

369
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 2: we create beneficiaries money to go directly ty their houses, cars,

370
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 2: education funds. And we we've some people full time jobs

371
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 2: because I'll I hire good people, right, yeah, you want

372
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 2: to hire a good person. So we're able to essentially

373
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 2: almost like vet that through a video and that people

374
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 2: to this day that I know, I go back and

375
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 2: they're like, this is our best worker. We have like

376
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 2: a year later in my own at other cities that

377
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 2: we've done this.

378
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 1: So, yeah, that's amazing now that I think that's so smart,

379
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 1: you know, because again, you give someone a half a

380
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 1: million dollars in a bag, it's like, ah, wait a minute.

381
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't care how good of a human

382
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: being you are. You get that urge, you be like,

383
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go buy some shit I'm not gonna buy right,

384
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be right, I'm gonna go buy something that

385
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 1: I shouldn't buy right now, you know, And then that

386
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 1: can snowball into a bad but.

387
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 2: In the video it looks like we're giving a half

388
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 2: a million dollars, so you get you evoke that like

389
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,120
Speaker 2: emotional response. So Yesmira, which we can crowd fund more,

390
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,679
Speaker 2: which that we can obviously create a longer term impact

391
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 2: for them.

392
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: And do you have as you've established and created relationships

393
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: along the way and with higher powered people, are you

394
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: able to sort of source super Bowl tickets and all

395
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: of these incredible experiences.

396
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 2: It's been like any layer way inbound outbound. The answer

397
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 2: is yes. The really cool example of like an inbound

398
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 2: outbound relationship is we did a video where we gave

399
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 2: a car away with Chris Brown at one of his shows.

400
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,239
Speaker 2: But that only came to existence because his twelve year

401
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 2: old daughter, Royalty, watches all my videos and she wanted

402
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,719
Speaker 2: to do something kind like me in the videos. Chris

403
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 2: heard that, and because of that, Chris wanted to do

404
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 2: the video. He never does that kind of stuff because

405
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 2: he's inspired by his daughter that wanted to show her that.

406
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 2: So it's cool to see the ripple that it creates

407
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 2: inbound outbound in that family tree or whatnot too.

408
00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 1: That's amazing.

409
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 2: It's soageous, like you were saying, well it is, how

410
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 2: can be so negative but positive? Sure, it takes a

411
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 2: little more work to get that ball moving I guess

412
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 2: down the hill, but I think it's a bigger ball

413
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:11,160
Speaker 2: that's more way, more powerful.

414
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, you're correct, you know. And I just because

415
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 1: sometimes people, I'm sure you've gotten hate. Everyone gets a

416
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 1: little hate, like, oh, you're just making that money and

417
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,439
Speaker 1: you know you're exploiting people's feelings for a dollar or whatever.

418
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: The hell. I'm sure you hear, but that's bullshit in

419
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: my opinion, because we are we can make money and

420
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: help human beings.

421
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 2: I mean, there are the perfects of every job.

422
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: Of course, of course, dude, Yeah, you should get yours

423
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: while you give it as well. There's absolutely no doubt

424
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:40,360
Speaker 1: about that.

425
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 2: But I do my absolute best, and my manager or

426
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 2: anyone can attest Like any situation where I feel like

427
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 2: there's more to do, we always do the most, even

428
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,360
Speaker 2: if that's a detriment to me, because I don't really care.

429
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 2: It's my time. I really feel honored and responsible to

430
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 2: have a following a fifty million people that have the

431
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 2: power to change a person's like, right, you know what

432
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 2: I mean?

433
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: Are you global? Have you gone across a man, you've

434
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 1: gone across the ocean at all.

435
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 2: We're going to London actually in a few weeks with

436
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,120
Speaker 2: crime speaking cons. We're gonna do a bog and Paul

437
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 2: and KSI, but not a lot global. Hopefully next year

438
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:18,120
Speaker 2: we can expand more globally. I'm really excited to hopefully

439
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 2: do this in other countries and have people like myself

440
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 2: that speak of the languages be able to do it

441
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,439
Speaker 2: in their countries, because obviously I'll speak any other languages.

442
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 1: You can create a whole you can you could create

443
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,679
Speaker 1: a whole network. Yeah, you know what I mean. You

444
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 1: could under your banner, under you. You know, you can

445
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: create a whole global network of people like you.

446
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 2: And you know, I'll give you another example of a

447
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 2: really cool story that how I knew that I was

448
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 2: doing the right thing. I was just starting to make videos.

449
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 2: I was in my hometown. We brought one hundred kids

450
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 2: to like to local water park, and his dad and

451
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 2: these three daughters I think they were ten, eight and

452
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 2: six at the time, came up to me and they said,

453
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 2: we watch your videos. Can we take a photo?

454
00:22:59,080 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: Sure?

455
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,199
Speaker 2: So they're about to walk away, and the six year

456
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 2: old tap my elbow, and she came up to me

457
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 2: and she's like, I just want to let you know

458
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 2: that my dad shows us your videos every night before bed.

459
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 2: And last week we were at the grocery store and

460
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 2: there looked like a guy that he was hungry. So

461
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 2: when I went home that night, I took my biggie

462
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 2: bank and I cracked open my piggy bank because I

463
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 2: want to do what the guy in the video does.

464
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: Oh my god, wow.

465
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 2: And that was when I felt like my videos were

466
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 2: doing something that I'll never see that had a purpose.

467
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 2: It was an energy transfer that the ripple effect, right,

468
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 2: that a one to one will never create.

469
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 1: A You talk about vulnerability, you know, relatability, Yeah, which

470
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: is so true. I've been a big proponent of being vulnerable.

471
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 1: It's something I've struggled with in certain aspects of my life.

472
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 1: There are certain parts of me that are extremely vulnerable.

473
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: I'm very sense, I'm not afraid to cry, but there

474
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 1: are certain you know, there are certain people in my

475
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: life for certain hang ups where vulnerability is hard for me.

476
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,439
Speaker 1: And that's just based on psychology. I mean, we can

477
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 1: go way back into childhood and life, right, but when

478
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:18,439
Speaker 1: you're able to be unafraid Essentially, that's what vulnerability is.

479
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 1: You're just unafraid to be yourself and unafraid to express

480
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: your feelings. It opens up so much. And you're right,

481
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 1: I've never thought of it that way. It equals relatability

482
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: because everyone is vulnerable, whether they're masking it, pushing it

483
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 1: down or not. Vulnerability exists within all of us. Yeah,

484
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,199
Speaker 1: when we are able to be vulnerable, you are. You

485
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: can sort of you got the key essentially to those

486
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: who want vulnerability but who are afraid to.

487
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 2: You never know who needs that key for you to

488
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,439
Speaker 2: you and lock that. You never know who that person is.

489
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,400
Speaker 1: Man. Yeah, yeah, yeah, So I dig that. I dig

490
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: how it sort of equals relatability.

491
00:24:58,080 --> 00:24:59,919
Speaker 2: You know, it's to all of them. If you go

492
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,959
Speaker 2: back to my old hugging videos, I haven't posted them

493
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 2: in a while. I always say, hey, how's it going

494
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 2: or whatever I'll say when they come in a hug,

495
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 2: And the first thing people always say before they say,

496
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 2: what's going on, I'm good? M right? Mask, mask, they're

497
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 2: not right, they're coming in for a hug, but like

498
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 2: I'm good, you're not good. It gets like mortial responses

499
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 2: to I guess, shy or hide away or I guess

500
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 2: be normal.

501
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, how's been how's the celebrity aspect been

502
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 1: for you? Meaning, like you get people know who you

503
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 1: are now, you get recognized, you sign autographs.

504
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 2: No, I get recognized, but like I don't want to

505
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 2: be recognized. I want to make videos and disguise. Right,

506
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 2: I'm a guy that makes videos that makes people happy.

507
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 2: But like it's really cool. The coolest part to me

508
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 2: is those like six year old girl stories like that

509
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 2: one I gave you with the piggy bang. That's the

510
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 2: celebritiness of it to me. I just yeah, I don't. Yeah,

511
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 2: that's in a small town, so I'm not usually in

512
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 2: La on a crazy red carpets or yeah.

513
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

514
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 2: But when celebrities want to get involved and it's able

515
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 2: to like their fan base is being like exposed to

516
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,120
Speaker 2: like this type of content in a new light, it's

517
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 2: just really cool to see.

518
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 1: Yeah. And so as far as growth goes, you know,

519
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: we're always expanding and thinking about how, okay, how do

520
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: we keep this going? Like how do we how do

521
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 1: we how do we do how do we just make

522
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 1: this thing as big as it can be? What what

523
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: plans do you have sort of for the future? For that.

524
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, so right now it's one scaling the giving. So

525
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 2: we're at a point now where we're giving away like cars, homes,

526
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,239
Speaker 2: Like it's at that point where it's I don't know

527
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 2: where else you go in terms of I guess it

528
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,120
Speaker 2: would be like infrastructures, whether.

529
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 1: It's so, but how do you do that? Like, how

530
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: how do you give away a home? Explain how that

531
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 1: might work?

532
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 2: Sure, mostly it's from the crowdfunding at this point. So

533
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 2: those ones that were able to like crowdfund a couple

534
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars for them, whether it's it's paying for

535
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 2: the home or if it's a smaller crowdfund, then we're

536
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,159
Speaker 2: able to get a lease for like three years or

537
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 2: fully furnished home for them to get them back on

538
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 2: their feet.

539
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 1: And this is all coming from crowdsourcing, meaning these are

540
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: all just people who are donating.

541
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 2: Donating their coffee money to Yeah, and it only works

542
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 2: I think. Then you donate five bucks and then in

543
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 2: forty eight hours you see that Greg's got a home,

544
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 2: or you're able to see and feel in real time

545
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 2: where your money's going to. And that transparency is everything,

546
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 2: right because it's as quick as you can build it,

547
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 2: you can come down one hundred times faster, so showing

548
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,679
Speaker 2: where it's going. I think one of the aspects that

549
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 2: you said was expanding it to other countries, whether it's

550
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 2: other people doing what I'm doing and then traveling more.

551
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 2: I'm going to get into the streaming space next year

552
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 2: and open to it being a TV show as long

553
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 2: as it doesn't feel two TV and it still feels

554
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 2: like raw and real.

555
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that's great.

556
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, and see where it goes.

557
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love your attitude. It's just kind of like,

558
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: fuck it. I don't know, like this thing. This thing

559
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 1: happened because I was upset and my girl left me

560
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 1: and I'm crying on a bench in Australia and it's like, oh, well,

561
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 1: the rest is gravy. It's just kind of like.

562
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 2: As disorganized as that thought process may sound, it's the

563
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,479
Speaker 2: first time in like for four years, this growth has

564
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 2: been like this, and I've never worked something I guess

565
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 2: so effortlessly but hard at the same time where it's work.

566
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 2: So I know that I'm very self aware and pivoted

567
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 2: as as need be and continue to serve others in

568
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 2: the right door should open.

569
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 1: Did you have to assemble a team once this thing

570
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,439
Speaker 1: got big and you're like, oh, oh wait a minute, I

571
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: need people. I need a.

572
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,400
Speaker 2: Really great team. So I've got a really good team

573
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 2: now for about a year, but it's a small team.

574
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 2: I'm a manager, a videographer, and an editor and on

575
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 2: the ground and then that's it. But for the most time,

576
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 2: it was just me and my old videographer, the one

577
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 2: that I started with. He was super awestome too, but

578
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 2: he's his dream was to open like a studio where

579
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 2: he does like portrait photography. He has two girls, and

580
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 2: he obviously can't travel as much as I am. Yeah,

581
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 2: so he just set up that this year and now

582
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 2: he's doing that full time. So both and we're great.

583
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: Where are you at with Do you have a girlfriend

584
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: now or.

585
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 2: What's Yeah, we've been together for three years. She's okay, good, Yeah, man,

586
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 2: I'm not still this lonely single man. Sophia. And funny enough,

587
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 2: I met her three days into making videos in my

588
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 2: hometown and I actually caught it on cameras, not on

589
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 2: my videos, our first interaction video when she first came

590
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 2: up on our twenty second interaction. So that's amazing. Say

591
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 2: they have the first person they met someone on four K.

592
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: Well, if this one, if this one is the one

593
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 1: forever and ever, and you know you're sixty years in

594
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: what a cool video.

595
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, very very grateful for that.

596
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 1: That's great, dude. And she obviously is extremely supportive in

597
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: what you do. I assume, right, And she's okay with

598
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: you being gone, and.

599
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 2: He's the backbone, and she's able to travel with me sometimes.

600
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 2: She also works as a dental hygienist. But she wants

601
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 2: to be able to step away next year and come

602
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 2: more because these moments are incredible. But I want her

603
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 2: They don't mean they don't mean the same unless you

604
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 2: with the people that you love. So I want her

605
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 2: to be part of those moments more with me.

606
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's amazing. And what about bloopers, because there has

607
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: to be There has to be a crazy blooper real.

608
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if you ever put one out, but

609
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: if you ever thought about it, Yeah, every day, I'm

610
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: sure you get all kinds of crazy stuff where it's

611
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 1: people are complete dicks. Number one. Of course, we live

612
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 1: in society where we've got all kinds of different people, right,

613
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: so there has to be a ton of bloopers. Do

Speaker 2: I'm going to like today we're filming in the Bronx.

617
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 2: You don't get a get a couple? Uh well liners, Yeah,

618
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 2: I don't. I deliberately don't post that because then even

619
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 2: if I post that for ten seconds, I'm like, yeah,

620
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 2: in a video, people would just hyper fixate on that. Yeah,

621
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 2: but yeah, it would it would be I have it all.

622
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 2: It's in folders. Maybe I'll release into the world.

623
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 1: But what is I mean? Is it just sometimes people

624
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 1: just get angry or sometimes people are laughing, or is

625
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: it all? Is it run the gambit of sort of

626
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: what how people react to you that is not positively?

627
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think it's all. It's yeah, it's

628
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 2: humanly above Yeah, humans going through stuff, and I'm a

629
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 2: it could be an emotional punching back because I'm like

630
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 2: starting a conversation.

631
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah. Do have you ever felt in danger.

632
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 2: When I have like a lot of money on me

633
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 2: in like a rougher neighborhood. But now we either we

634
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 2: have fake money in terms of it's a larger amount

635
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 2: of money, or there's a security guard like someone that

636
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 2: keeps me safe in terms of in the moment, So

637
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 2: I'm never my life's not in dangered.

638
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: Oh good, good God.

639
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 2: When I was blindfolded for a year, the that's ever

640
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 2: happened to me is this. I watched the back. It

641
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 2: was like a fourteen year old girl. She had this

642
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 2: white skittle. This is a gum, piece of gum. She

643
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 2: just threw it at me. In one year, no one's

644
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 2: ever punched me. Or wow, there's a skittle and I'm

645
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 2: blindfold that I'm as vulnerable as security guard at the time. Yeah, yeah,

646
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 2: I was very surprised at that because that was the

647
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 2: one when I felt unsafe the most.

648
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, before we get out of here, what

649
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 1: are your hang ups? You know what I mean? Like,

650
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 1: you are offering this amazing experience to the world for

651
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 1: anyone who wants to take it, essentially right. But if

652
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: someone was if I was blindfolded, if I were you

653
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: and you had to and you came up to me

654
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 1: and I started to question you, or or I asked

655
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 1: you to sort of let go and be vulnerable and

656
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: tell me what you know you'd like to be better

657
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 1: in your life? What would that.

658
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 2: Be Making more time for the people in my life

659
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 2: that matter? My family, my brother, my parents, my partner.

660
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 2: It's been a whirl in the last four years. But

661
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 2: I feel like it's been really hard for me to

662
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 2: find this balance of making myself proud and helping people

663
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 2: while also still not missing moments of life. I feel

664
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 2: like I missed. I miss a lot of moments, and

665
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 2: I've been working on in that consciously looks year. That's

666
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 2: that one, and then also feeling imposter syndrome.

667
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's real.

668
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 2: I enter in terms of like these spaces. I just

669
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 2: I'm a guy that makes videos. I don't think I

670
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,479
Speaker 2: have any other so I just it's not like this

671
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 2: ego with it and it just it's cool to see

672
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 2: that it provides value, it makes people feel good.

673
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: But where does that imposter syndrome take you? Meaning like

674
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 1: people don't people are gonna find me out or they

675
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 1: think that I'm I'm not really what I but people

676
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 1: think I am. You know, where does that come from?

677
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: Do you think I.

678
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 2: Don't think people are gonna think who I am because

679
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 2: I think I'm pretty like just real, But I'm not sure.

680
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 2: I don't know, you know, it's just and I guess.

681
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: Maybe because imposter syndrome, it's kind of like, well, not

682
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: good enough because actors have that too, creatives in general.

683
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 1: You're a creative. It's just kind of you know, you

684
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 1: go do these all these gigs and you're getting work

685
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: and it's all happening in your own series, and you're like,

686
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: oh shit, they're gonna find me out. They're gonna discover

687
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 1: that I'm not that good or you know, it's like

688
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,399
Speaker 1: it's this imposter syndrome, like everyone thinks I'm doing well,

689
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: but like when are they gonna know? When are they

690
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 1: gonna find out that I'm not? You know what I mean?

691
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 1: It's that insecurity essentially.

692
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 2: It is no definitely I felt insecure and feeling like

693
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 2: I'm not good enough or the person that is equivalent

694
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 2: to the person in the room that maybe inspires me

695
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 2: or I feel in my heart that they are, but

696
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 2: maybe they're feeling amposter syndrome.

697
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: M hmm.

698
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 2: It's just like this and that's that vulnerability relatability thing,

699
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 2: right m hmm. Allowed, and you're not gonna feel it.

700
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 2: But that one I haven't figured out a solution to

701
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 2: as much as the other one.

702
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 1: Well, whatever, we're young, you're young. I'm not young. You're

703
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 1: young man pushing fifty man away. Well, dude, this has

704
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 1: been amazing. Thank you for talking to me. This has

705
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 1: been very cool. And then if you ever get to

706
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 1: la me up, I'd love to be a part of

707
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 1: this somehow, you know.

708
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 2: I appreciate that.

709
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 1: So down with all this stuff, I really am. It's

710
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:10,880
Speaker 1: it's we need, it's necessary, especially right now how divided

711
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 1: everybody is, and the vitriol and everything that comes up

712
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,439
Speaker 1: on your feet is kind of like, oh oh God,

713
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 1: and you get sucked down this rabbit hole, and it's

714
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: so nice to sort of just watch happiness and.

715
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:26,320
Speaker 2: Positivity humans being humans, right.

716
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly.

717
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 2: Matter what we look like or who we are. So yeah,

718
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:32,399
Speaker 2: thank you, thank you for your time.

719
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I appreciate it. Brother, Get out there and do it. Man,

720
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: I can't wait to keep watching your vis.

721
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 2: Also, one last thing, if anyone's listening in the next

722
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 2: twenty four hours, I challenge you to one random act

723
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 2: of kindness. Yes, I love you, one random I'm doing it.

724
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,840
Speaker 1: I do it all the time. Man, let's go, baby,

725
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 1: appreciate yes, Zach, I appreciate you, man.

726
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 2: Love bye, guys.

727
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 1: Peace. Buddy. What a great guy, My god, he's so

728
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 1: positive and full of like cinnamon sugar. You know what

729
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:03,800
Speaker 1: I mean. I feel like if you cut open his cheeks,

730
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 1: it's just like cinnamon, sugar and just candy and joy

731
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 1: is gonna pour out of him. What a good dude.

732
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 1: And it's so genuine, you know, it's so genuine, especially

733
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,879
Speaker 1: when you start from a place like he started, where

734
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,320
Speaker 1: he had an entire life ahead of him, kind of planned,

735
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: and then you know, he gets rocked and in one moment,

736
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: shit can shift and change the whole trajectory. I guess

737
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 1: the lesson there is, you know, don't be so rigid

738
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 1: in what you think you are, you know, I mean,

739
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 1: or where you think you should be, or what you

740
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 1: perceive that you want, because sometimes that can surprise you

741
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 1: and change. Sitting on a bench in Australia to women

742
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 1: just approach him boom. His life takes a completely different path.

743
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 1: And not only is he doing what he wants to

744
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 1: do and helping people, he's making a shit ton of

745
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 1: money and he can't beat that. And he's genuine, as

746
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 1: I said, like you can tell he does it because

747
00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 1: he does care. You know, there's no Charlatan about him

748
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 1: in any way. It's not like I'm gonna take all

749
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 1: this money and you know, he's very, very authentic anyway,

750
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 1: all right, I am leaving now to do a full

751
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 1: body scan, so within the next four hours we'll know.

752
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: We'll know if the Hudson Express is still on the

753
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 1: tracks or if he's derailed. All right, I'm leaving. Bye,
