It's late, 10 o'clock, but still got my wife and I gonna do us a little vacation. And so being that, hold on one second. Came in for those ones that I had? Okay, wow. Yeah, that worked perfect. Me and my wife were going on a little vacation and so, you know, just live, get things in order. She still getting things organized. So I say, you know what, let me do some work while we're sitting here, do a little work. So I wanted to pop on here and this is different. Somebody sent in the topic and shout out to whoever that was sent the topic in through, y'all gotta forgive me every night and my wife, she trying on some outfits that we bought today for a vacation and she trying them on and so she'll be coming to my wonder so I could give a little thumbs up. But somebody sent in an email saying, can you do a video on friends concerning the young lady that went to, I believe it was Mexico and lost her life. And if it's anybody, friends or family in on my YouTube that knows her condolences go out to you and the family and friends, it's really sad, but it's really sad. But in this day and time, it's almost like we're forced to speak on things like that so it doesn't happen to somebody else. Who is under the sound of our voice. And it just made me think and I'll be honest with you.  Just people in general, we get so caught up wanting to be liked and wanting to be accepted and wanting to be around people and wanting to have friends. And when you use the term friend, we have to be very selective with that term. And it's a lot of times I'll have female clients who will be texting me or talking to me and be like, hey, Tony, you know, you my friend or be like, hey, can you post this for me? Or can you do this for me? Do that for me? And I'm like, no, I can't do that because of this, that and the third. Well, you my friend, and then I have to remind them, no, I'm not your friend. You are my client because I don't really use that term friend unless it's somebody that is really, really my friend. And we have to be careful, you know, who we're around and who we're moving with. And a lot of times too, what we have to understand about human nature, see, some people are perfect in their mind and some people are oblivious and some people are comment warriors. Some people are comment Christians. And some people just, they don't pay attention. And what I mean by that is a lot of times we don't evaluate ourself and we forget of those weak moments. We forget about those weak moments and we forget about those times where we wish harm on somebody because of something they did or the times where we were jealous of somebody for no real reason. And you had those people that say, I've never been jealous of anyone.   But I remember one time, and I see this a lot of times too, whenever you walk into a room or you pull up to the scene, people see you from afar. If you looking at them, you see the first reaction to how they feel about you. When you out of, when you far away, you see the first reaction to how they feel about you before you could really get up close and make eye contact. And I remember one time when I got an impala and I put some 20 tools on it and I pull up. I remember this guy who I think he had a girlfriend that either knew me or I had briefly talked to her and I pulled up and it was on the college campus.  I ain't know, I forgot you had that color. Oh yeah, that look good, doesn't it? And he looked at my car because we're in college. It's not a lot of people with a new model car with rims on it. He looked at my car and he cussed. He was like, and he didn't know I seen him. Instead of being like, ooh, that clean. He was like, because at that time it's like, man, he won up on me again. And so we forget that and we have to really look and you gotta really be able to connect to your feelings of when you were without Christ or when you were not winning. You gotta be able to connect to those feelings and remember that feeling and you gotta remember that first feeling when you go around, when you get on Instagram.   And you'll see in the comments, oh, there's a lot of people who are homeless and you should be helping the homeless instead of in the mall shopping. And it's like, how you know that person don't help the homeless? Can't get every dime to the homeless. So what if that person already gave to the homeless and even if they didn't give to the homeless, the homeless ain't homeless because of them. So how you gonna tell somebody else what to do with their money?  And if they in the wrong for not giving their money to the homeless, then let them answer the God. So when you start to study human behavior, you start to realize that very rarely are humans happy for other humans. Very rarely are humans happy for other humans. And my wife, like, I bless my wife. I'm gonna give y'all a real live example. Okay, I'm gonna give you a real live example. I'm gonna be honest with you.  Just be honest. Gonna make me lose some people. But my wife, she ordered some clothes and the clothes, they got delayed. And they was coming from a store, they got delayed. So I took and wrote this lady who worked at another store at like 12 o'clock last night. And I was like, hey, do you have this type of clothes because we're gonna be leaving? And I said, can you get these type of clothes, send me some pictures. So she got up today, she went to work. She don't normally go to work. She went in, she took some pictures of some clothes. And my wife picked out five outfits and my sister happened to be down there in that city on a girl's trip. So I had her swaying by and get the clothes and then drop them off to them when she came back in the town. And my wife, when you look online, you will see a lot of women. If they got a certain car, they gonna show that coffee and they gonna show that emblem of that car. If they done got them a BMW, a Mercedes. If they get a new pair of shoes, they gonna do an unboxing of the shoes. If they get a new purse, they gonna do an unboxing of the purse. My wife never does that. She never does unboxings. She never does, oh, got this new beauty. She never does that. And she recently did a thing with some shoes, but it's just like some Nike's. But she never does that. And I always ask, I'm like, I treat you like a queen. Why you gonna show that? That'll get me a little clout. If people really see how I treat you and how well I take care of you, that might help me out. And she said, no, I can't do that. She said, no, I can't do that because people ain't happy for you. And she was like, in your following, she was like, your following is weird.  And the reason why is because years ago, I bought my wife a new pal sandals, some Giuseppe sandals. I remember I was broke and not literally, but I spent $1,600 on the sandals and I posted them like, got my wife this new gift. Just happy, just wanting to show it. Just wanting to celebrate love and really send a message to other men of like, treat your queen. And a lady said, why you always got the post? Literally this was my second post ever in life of something I got my wife. Why you always showing materialistic stuff? I say, boy look here. But that's the nature of humans. And when you start to notice this, this will help you realize that unless a person is extremely blessed in their life, or and when I say blessed, I mean, if a person, unless a person is extremely grateful in their life, they cannot be happy for you. They can't be happy for you. You have to look like you broke or you have to look like you're struggling or in need for most humans to support you or to be happy for you. Point blank period art, point blank period art. So when you realize that, then you're gonna realize if you have four or five people in your circle, you might only got one of them that's truly happy for you. Like look at that first face. Look at that first face. When you share, look at that first face now. When you share a blessing with somebody, don't share, if you wanna share a blessing with somebody, if you wanna see if they really your friend, share that news in person. See, it ain't too many people that can act. You got Denzel Washington, Ida, and then you got Viola Davis. That's, and then you got the White Actors who had the money to take acting class since they were seven. But other than that, it ain't a lot of good actors.  They don't know how to act. So when you tell somebody, and I remember seeing people like I'll pull up in some and I could be in debt. I could be in complete debt. People don't know that. I'll pull up in some. You got another car? Bro, you got another car?  Like, why you got that frown on your face? Bro, you got another car? Hey, oh, what is this, hey, this clean, this clean. They catch theyself. They catch theyself and don't realize that they just was frowning. That they just was mad that the Lord them blessed me with another car. And but they heart don't be all the way right. They life don't be all the way right. Cause, cause you know, and it's different, it's different things. So you might not want no car. You might want a house. You might not want clothes. You might want to take a trip.  But then on the other side of them tests, them blessings come through when you are aligned. You know that them blessings, them opportunities they come through and they come out of nowhere. And you like, wow, and it'll be what you need, what you want, where are you at? It ain't gonna look the same.  But God know our heart. So when you get there, a lot of times this is hard.  But your boss could be in a place to where all the income is gone because of who they taking care of, or how big their family is. And if they see you go to the Maldives, they see you go to Italy, they see you going to Cancun, Cabo, they might have an opportunity. Oh yeah, oh yeah, that look good, that look real good. Let me see it with an untuck on that side. I know this, let me see it. Okay, yeah, you right. Yeah, yeah, your little halftop. You got a purse for everything, now you taking that? Okay, yeah. Oh okay, look at the sandals. Hey, I'm trying not to save my real feelings because I'm on camera, huh? No, I'm just saying like, I don't want to be overboard and just lick them lips and stuff. But hey, y'all got to forgive me.  I'm like, well, I'm about to get off live. I put something on you. And so, let's see if I do that then, people gonna think I'm faking and then she gonna think I'm faking because she quickly forget because I praise her so much and goggle over her so much.  But then what I realized too, I still sometimes now she getting more confidence with the TikTok video. And she never was like that.  I'm like, what is she doing, TikTok and reals? Nah, my wife ain't never been in the social media. I'm like, why? Hey, y'all forgive her now, y'all forgive her. I'm just playing. She got a lot, she doing a lot because she do the packing of the clothes and stuff like that because she just fold clothes way better than me and she organize and pack better than me. So we understand our strengths. Now listen to me. You'll notice that when you start elevating, elevating, and so what I was saying is, your boss will see you live a life. You'll come up in a new car. You could be in debt on that car. But that boss will have an opportunity, a promotion, a trip, a conference that's all expense paid by the company and they'll give it to somebody else because they don't like how you shine. They don't like how you shine. And that's what happened right here. When this young lady, she went over there. She over there in Mexico with fake friends. She over there in Mexico with fake friends. She over there with associates. She over there with people who don't care about them, who don't love her. And we have to ask ourselves, how many times have we been around people that really don't like us? But we friends with them or we business partners with them just to be associated, just to be associated and just to be, just to have somebody. And I see this a lot with men and women where men as humans, we seek approval. Humans seek approval and so the men will go and hang out with guys who they think is cooler than them. So they'll do anything to be around them guys that they think is cooler than them. And then women will go and hang out with the women that they think is more lit than them, prettier than them, got more money than them. And it's just about association. It just, we wanna have association. So like in school, they call the mean girls. You know, the mean girls. And it's really just this group of girls who think they pretty, think they all of that. They get some of the boys and then they treat the other girls who may dress different, may be seen as nerdy or quiet or introvert or what have you. They'll treat them bad, pick on them, bully them. And then the same thing with the guys. It'll be a group of guys and then they bully and things of that nature. Now, look, we got this young lady who's over here who lost her life in Mexico. And then we got the three young men in Virginia who lost their life from another peer from somebody that's right around them. And the man who took their life had to be jealous of them because it ain't that much bullying in the world for no grown black man to take three men life. They had to be jealousy of their position.  And this the thing, this the thing, it ain't a lot of people that could sit right here. It ain't a lot of people that could sit right here with me.  And I'm gonna tell you the truth about that. It was a time when I was in the streets and I can't remember who it was, but I was in the streets and it was a guy.  And it is not any men. That's gonna admit to that. It ain't no humans. That's gonna admit to that. Like when you see the run, when you see the run that Nipsey Hustle was on, when his life got took. Nipsey, I'm not even a rapper and Nipsey will making me jealous. I'm not even a rapper. I don't even know Nipsey Hustle. I'm not from his neighborhood. I'm not his competition. He wasn't taking no money out my pocket and I got jealous, not in a real way, but I'm like, man, this man everywhere. This man got to deal with Puma. This man music going up. This man getting opportunity. This man everywhere. So when Nipsey Hustle's life got took, I knew right then that was not about calling another man a snitch.    That was jealousy. That was jealousy. The same thing with Pop Smoke. He blew up out of nowhere. That was jealousy. The same thing with Take Off. That was jealousy. They say the guy who took his life, they show this tweets from years ago or just him just hating, just hating on Amigo, just hating on. And that was jealousy. A lot of people losing their life over jealousy. Oh, you got more money than me. Oh, you look better than me. Oh, you got more friends than me. You prettier than me. You more handsome than me. You this, you that.  They gonna take it all the way out on you. And you'll learn this in childhood. When you look back at childhood, you'll learn that this is true. When you look back and when you was in elementary, you could identify who was jealous of you for no reason. Just because your mama packed a better lunch than theirs or because you had better shoes than them or you had a better car than them or you was happier than them or you got better grades than them. They just were jealous at you for no reason. But then guess what? How they say keep your enemies closer. That's what a lot of people do. Your enemies wanna get close to you so they can steal from you. And see, this what women don't understand. What women don't understand, a lot of times when you get married or you get a boyfriend, there are women that'll get close to a woman so that they could have your man lusting after them. And a lot of men are so weak mentally that a man will be lusting after his woman's friend and not realizing that the friend only got her booty poked out and making jokes and trying to sound cool to get his attention and his affection, his eyeballs so that she could feel like she got one up on that woman, his woman who she is jealous of. And the same thing happen, men do it too. A guy will be jealous of this guy because he got whatever more than him. That guy, but the other guy who jealous, he might be funnier or he might have more money or he might look better to women. He'll wanna be around that other guy woman so he could flex whatever he got to see if that other woman gonna wish she was with him. And that's how humans move. And the thing about it is we gotta remember humans. We gotta remember that a man watch Jesus do signs and wonders and still set him up to be crucified. We have to remember humans and you can't put more on humans. It's so many people that I hear worship their best friend. And it's one thing that I learned from my wife or whatever reason, she don't do the be friends with my friends thing. Like she keep her female friends separate from me. Like she don't do the put me in a group text with her sisters. Like she keep that separate. She keep the women separate from me. And it ain't because of whatever, but it's just boundaries. It's boundaries. And so we have to remember who humans are. And the way you could do that is by identifying your own weaknesses, cause you are human too. So you're gonna have flashes of feelings and thoughts that you quickly shut down cause you realize that thought is not of you. You realize that thought is of the adversary. You realize that like you could look at somebody else spouse and lust. And then you realize, whoa, that's a thought that I got to crucify that I got to cut out because that ain't cool. But what you have to understand is you're putting the things in place. You're getting the knowledge. You're doing the work to be able to shut down those negative thoughts and feelings, but not everybody else is doing that. So if you've ever felt this way, that's the thing. When you start to understand humans, you start to realize that so when I was in the streets and I remember saying, hey, I want to see him dead cause he got too much going. He got too much motion. And it wasn't a real thing. Like in a sense of I wasn't crazy enough to do nothing to him. I wasn't going to hate on that level, but it was a thought that crossed my mind. Like you would rather see somebody extinct than to keep winning on the level they winning and getting it how they getting it. Like it just because when you're not where you want to be and when your heart is not pure to see somebody else getting it, make you feel worse about yourself, make you feel less about yourself. And it's so many people that I don't talk to that's borderline on depression because other women getting married and they not getting married. And they want, they saying I want to be happy but I can't be happy because I want love. And I don't have love, but this person had love and that person had love.  You get more depressed because you ain't the bride but see it's a mindset. And what you have to realize is where you may be able to control that and put on a smile and be happy for somebody the next person may not be able to do that.  We up the same race. We up the same age. We believe in the same God. Why don't I have what he or she has? This ain't fair. And they'll go to struggling. And see, it's them being so many guys that when I made it out of where I made it from and I made it in the way I made it and I distanced myself, I distanced myself from people because they're not living how I'm living. They're not moving how I'm moving.  Men who jealous of me started trying to sleep with my sister. They want to sleep with my sister because it's like if I could touch his sister it's like I'm touching him. If I could touch his sister, it's like, oh yeah, shorts weren't it? Oh, yeah, okay. Oh, that look good though. That look good. And I'm gonna be able to wear my shirt to match it up. We can't match. That's how they, you know, people be matching. Ow, so you don't want to match with me? I don't want to match with you either. I don't want to match with you. That look good though. Hey, but all them persons, you can't get through customs with all that, can you? Cause they ain't supposed to be under served value. Oh, oh, okay.  You ever see the legs? What kind of shorts are they on? Girl, you look good. Don't hurt about your business. Don't watch business. Girl, I know. I can't talk with you right now. Don't, don't watch business. Don't watch business. Boy, look at him. Boy, look at him. Hey, I'm proud of myself cause that me, I take care of her. You see what I'm saying? I'm loving on her. That me. And so listen to me. So now these men, they feel like if I could touch his sister, then I'm getting back at him for his success. And men have that kind of ego. So it's like depression is real. Depression is real. Anxiety is real. So when somebody is going through depression and they life ain't happening for them and you got something going for you and it might not be where you wanna be. It might not be what you want, but you got something going for you. They will be jealous of you. They'll be jealous of you. And if they could put hands on you. So just like this young lady in Mexico has lost her life. Imagine what that lady had to be feeling. They don't matter what that lady did. If she, if the lady saying, oh, I did that cause she stole money from me. Oh, I did that cause she slept with my boyfriend or she tried to. It's like doing something like that. It ain't nothing that serious. That was jealousy. That was jealousy. It's either, oh, she got a better job than me and I'm jealous. Oh, she got better hat in me and I'm jealous. Oh, she got more men wanting her than me and I'm jealous. Oh, her body nicer than mine. I'm jealous. That was some jealousy in them. And then the other people, and this why you have to raise your kids, even your adult kids, you gotta raise them the right way because we are so desensitized. We're so desensitized because of we're watching people fight on reels and on TikToks. Social media is posting its whole pages that post fights. People really getting a block knocked off. Just head getting spent round on their neck, 360 degrees and we watching that and laughing and talking about it.  Instead of breaking it up and people don't understand that humans can die, that you could lose your life over being jumped and somebody when you not fighting back or you done, somebody keep hitting you. We have lost the value of life in our society. We are so desensitized in our society that we don't even understand the value of life because it's all about going viral. It's all about social media. It's all about being in the mix. We don't identify with feelings. We are now coming to a place to where we can't have feelings anymore, to where we can't have empathy anymore. We can't have sympathy anymore. We come into a place to where it's all about desensitizing, detaching to the human experience, to where we have men who set a goal to sleep with another man, woman, and then talk about it amongst other men. And then if they rap about it or write a book about it, we in a society of capitalization of just get ahead by any means. I watched the thing where the lady got her baby daddy killed and then wrote a fiction book about it and told a whole story in the fiction book. And that's what got her arrested. The boy Lorenzen Wright, the former NBA player from Memphis, his ex-wife set him up to have his life took. But then wanting to be famous, wanting to be an author, wrote a fiction book about it. And that's the life we live. And listen, I'm gonna tell you something. When you start talking about something, you wanna do it so that it's real. So we got a lot of men who taking lives just so they can make music about it and not be a fraud. We got men who going to be a drug, they'll adjust so that they can then be a rapper and not be a fraud rapper. But it just doing it for clout, just doing it to have a story to tell. That's it, that's it. Just doing it for acceptance and that's the life we live in. And so therefore, when people are doing anything to be seen and people are doing anything to be accepted, that removes real friends. That removes real connections. That removes real bonds. So that's why when you choose in your circle, you gotta be very, very careful.   And they'll pretend to support you. They'll pretend to like you, but really it's just to get in position so that they can get an advantage on you. And that's all it's about. That's all it's about. And so that's what we really got to realize and understand.  And that's the thing is you don't know people. So when you let somebody, your circle need to be a dot until it could be bigger. And everybody talk about, somebody just thought it would be wise to say, you are the sum of the five people you spend the most time with. For one, if you spending time with five people, you spending time with two month people because you don't even know yourself. You don't even know yourself well enough to be spending that much time with five people. So that means I'm the sum of my wife and my two sons cause I don't spend no time with nobody else because that's all I'm concerned about. That's all I'm concerned about is my wife and my two sons.  I ain't got the time. I ain't got the time after my wife get my time and my sons get my time. My purpose got to get my time. So I really ain't got time for God's night. I ain't got time for God's trip. I ain't got time for homeboys. I got homeboy but I ain't got time unless it's already something scheduled like a football game and we meet up at the football game. But outside of that, I really ain't got time cause tomorrow ain't promise. So I ain't got time to be in a script club with you. I ain't got time to be at the lounge smoking cigars with you on the hooker with you. I ain't got the time. I got to occupy until Jesus return. I got something that got to be done and the clock ticking clock ticking on regulation and we don't get no overtime. We got to win in regulation. I ain't got the time. So when people say, oh, you the sum of the five people that sound cute, but that's too many people.  I don't everybody.  Somebody setting you up. Guess what? The people who get set up, they get set up by somebody in a circle when you don't let somebody in your circle. That's when you get set up because somebody ain't happy for you. Somebody don't want to see you in. And so the people be right next to you and they'll set you up. And it's because they jealous of you. And they might be jealous of you for something you didn't even do, but they think you did it because of where their mental state is at. Oh, they told the boss on me. So I'm finna slice their tires. I remember my wife had a roommate and the roommate and her friend had a crush on me. My wife didn't do nothing to them. They slice her tires. They stole her tag. They went in her room, stole her purse. Her purse had a green card in it. My wife from Jamaica. So she had to go through all this whole citizenship process cause a green card was gone. Her social security card was gone. And it was, she did nothing to them. It ain't like she tried to sleep with a boyfriend. It ain't like she hated on them, but it was just jealousy. She prettier than them. She got a man that got more swag than they man. And they just were jealous. So they want to just add pain to her life. And that's how it be. And I start to see this a lot. And it happened with me and Anne women. They're having more with women than it does men. And cause he, men know that men are shoot faster. Men know that men are take it all away faster. So men have to be more selective of when they do something shady.  Women don't assume that the woman will take her life. But see, men know that. Men know that a man can get by business quick. So that's why it don't happen as much with men. It happens a lot, but it don't happen as much with men. And I just remember being around women and being able to sleep with two best friends. Being able to sleep with sisters. Being a man could sleep with mother and daughter. Because women just be so combative. And that's why so many women say, oh, I got a lot of girlfriends like that. I rather hang around guys. That's bad. That's just bad news for men because it's like, why don't you trust your own? Like what is it about your own that you don't trust? Like how can you not trust your own gender? Because men, men love them some bromance. Men love they guys night. Men love their homeboys more than they love their wives. But women don't be like that. And so this really more so for women because you got to be wise with this thing. And it really the combativeness of wanting a man, wanting a husband, wanting the affection of men. Look at Rachel and Leo. Rachel and Leo was at each other's neck by that dangling. They was at each other's neck by that dangling. Like my goodness. And so we have to be real about our rather no circle than to have a weak circle. And people pride themselves in knowing everybody and being cool with everybody. That ain't nothing to be happy about. That ain't nothing to be proud about because the more people that you cool with, the more vulnerable you are. Because if Jesus only got cool with 12 people and one arm set them up, they let you know a circle ain't meant to be big. A circle ain't meant to be big. And in that same circle, out of all them 12 people, after them seeing the signs and wonders, them seeing greatness, them being fed, they were getting fed by Jesus spiritually and literally, physically. They were eating loads of bread and fish. They were eating water being turned into wine. They were living good. You right next to His hardness, the Holy One, the Messiah, and not now one of them 12 rolled for Jesus. Not now one of them 12 rolled for Jesus.   You gon' deny me three times. I never do that. I never do that. And then guys be surprised when they get in trouble and their homeboy snitch on. Listen, they snitched on Jesus. The greatest man to ever walk the face of the earth without blemish, without blemish, no sin, and still couldn't find nobody to ride for. But then guys get in a game and think it's gon' be loyalty. You ain't got enough signs and wonders. If Jesus ain't have enough signs and wonders to have one man really have his bike, what you think you finna do with a little bit of money to have somebody really have your bike? Ain't nobody got your bike and ain't nobody happy for you. That's why the Bible say you got a friend in Jesus and that he stick it closer than a brother. The reason why the Bible tell you Jesus stick closer than a brother because in the first book of the Bible, a brother killed his brother. Come on now, this man got one brother and got jealous and took the life of his brother. How many of us got somebody who got our same blood coursing through their veins and they jealous of us? How many of us got a family member that's jealous of us? Because of something we got or something we did in life that look like success.  Yeah, they gon' have your best interest from a distance. Yeah, they gon' have your best interest when it served them. Yeah, they gon' be happy and smiling in your face but you gotta remember human nature and you gotta put humans in their respective places. You can't put so much stock in a human because some people wanna be your friend for the perks and the advantages that come with being your friend. See, it's things that come with being your friend because you might be the one that's gon' take care of the check. You might be the one that's gon' organize and plan. You might be the one that's gon' buy the tickets to the concert and everybody supposed to pay you back but just somehow they forget to pay you back. You might be the one that's gon' drive and make sure everybody get there and get back safely. You might be the one.  You gotta remember human nature and you gotta put humans in their respective places and you gotta understand that your real friend is Jesus Christ.  And what I mean by respected mean, they gotta be watched. They gotta be watched. People don't want to see you do better than them. People don't wanna see you do as good as them. Listen, your sibling can be jealous of you. Your spouse can be jealous of you.  Tell me that I'm lying.  Tell me that somebody ain't been around you and saw you get blessings on blessings on blessings in a season and they smile, turn upside down. You could go tell your mama something and they'd be, oh, you got too much. Oh, you got too much.  You ought to be doing way more for me. You ought to be doing this and that. Oh, ought to be doing this and that. But you weren't on your knees crying out to God with me. You didn't wanna sacrifice with me. You didn't wanna separate from the crowd with me.  Oh, now you wanna live. Now you wanna have it all. Oh no, that ain't how that worked. That ain't how that worked. But see, we don't understand that. And we put too much stop in humans. Listen, people say delegate, delegate, delegate. I say listen, listen, listen, listen. It ain't God's vision for me to be bigger than me managing me. If I got to have a team of all these people, I'm now going into my vision because God ain't gonna ask me to build something that I got to depend on several other humans to make it come to fruition. That's me building what I wanna build. Let me build in what I wanna build because see, listen, because see when it's by God, God, if God give you the vision, he gonna give you pro-vision. And now that might come with one faithful person. That might come with one faithful person. But after that, the rest is a liability. The rest is a liability and the one faithful person may be only as faithful as the opportunity you are providing them. If somebody else provide them a better opportunity, meaning more money, you might then be surprised. Listen, there are women who have left their husband because another man had more money and more motion. There are men today who are leaving, listen, there are pastors who are men of the cloth, who are supposed to be men of standard, who are divorcing their wives because there is another woman in their flock, another woman in their following who got more money and more motion than their wife. So they finding a rift with their wife and they riding that rift so that they can have irreconcilable differences so that they can then divorce their wife and get with a woman who has more going for herself in the business world. It's men, it's doing it all the time. Don't you know in my following this women who make seven figures and if I were that type of man, I could leave my wife, I could ride a rift and say I'm gonna leave just so I could do something over here. Oh yeah, oh yeah. See how you doing at that closet? That look good. Yeah, I see, I see. That look good. You can't walk around the island with that though. I guess you can. Yeah, they ain't gonna cut your throat but if when we go to try to buy something it might be like, okay Chanel, okay, I'ma charge you. Oh yeah, it's gonna be 200. But that's nice on the boat too but you don't wear that around the city too.  Look good. Huh? Okay, don't come over here no more then because I can't, I love you. I don't have to make you try them on all again. I love you. And stop walking up when I talk about you now. I was just telling a little story. I wanna talk about it like that. I love you. I love you. No, I wanna talk about that. I'll talk about just the other thing around that. Stuff like that. I love you. Okay, I love you. Hey, love you. You're interrupting the floor of the spirit. You got to get out on peripheral. So now let's, why are you trying to outfit song? Looking good. Now, y'all, I'm trying not to be too extra on the camera but I'm trying to get. So listen to me now. There is, and this is what I want you to understand about human nature.  And you're gonna see men do the same thing but yet they made a vow to love each other until death doesn't part. But the opportunity, the opportunity looked it better. So see, this is how you have to understand human nature and you have to put humans in their perspective. So listen, I'm gonna tell you the honest reason. I'm gonna tell you the honest reason. Now, my business does well. My business does well. And yes, I could delegate but if I hire people, I didn't have to pay them.  If all the person doing is answering emails, that's not gonna make me $60,000. So I can't afford that $30,000 because that $30,000 take care of a year of tuition for my kids when I could answer those emails myself. Now having this person do them emails allowed me to say I'm a boss because I'm paying somebody. But this camera right here work good as them cameras that somebody is sitting behind. And I got a microphone plugged into the camera. So if I got to hire somebody and pay somebody $50,000 a year, is people on YouTube who paying somebody behind the camera $50,000 a year and we make the same amount of money from YouTube. So who got the most money? Me, because my $50,000 going to my family and they $50,000 going to somebody behind the camera just so they could say they got somebody behind the camera. Just for their ego could say I'm a boss. You see what I'm saying? So I could hire somebody but guess what I know about people? What I know about people is that you can't trust people. You cannot trust people. You can only trust God. You can only trust God. You cannot trust human beings because eventually a human is going to let you down. Your mama has let you down. Your daddy has let you down. Your sister has let you down. Your brother has let you down. Your husband has let you down.    Your boss has let you down. Your professor has let you down. Your police chief let you down. Your president let you down.  What I mean by that is if you're going to get in a relationship, you have to be willing to have your heart broken. If you cannot withstand heartache or heartbreak, then you should not get into a relationship. If you know that if somebody cheats on you, you're going to take their life or take the life of the person they cheated with, then you should not get in a relationship because it's a good possibility that it's going to happen. In every single relationship, you're going to be let down in some way or another, so you have to know that humans cannot be trusted. Tracy and Jackson say the Bible says trust in the Lord with all your heart, not a man. The Bible say a faithful man who can find. When they say man now, it's talking about mankind because when you look up and when you look in the Bible now in the Old Testament, the Bible really made humans look bad, but it shows you the flaws of humans. It shows you Cain and Abel. It shows you what Joseph Brothers did to Joseph because Joseph had a dream. His brothers wanted to get rid of him because he had a dream. How many of us have experienced having a dream and having a family member be jealous of us because we have the audacity to want more than what our environment told us we could have? Come on now. Come on now. You got to be able to think about this. You got to be able to think about it. Look at Jacob and Esau. I think it was Jacob and Esau. Y'all correct me if I'm wrong, where the oldest was supposed to get the blessing, but the mama, I think it was the mama who told the youngest who was her son, go put on this hill. Let me make this hill food for you that your brother be making. Hey, thank y'all for them blessing. Reality check and somebody else sent one. Spirit was flowing. Simply a mirror. Hey, thank y'all. God bless you. God bless you. I'm on here and been talking an hour and they say I got $3.98. But see, now let the haters tell it. Oh, that's how you make a living. That's like, oh, you do it, pander to women to get rich. Listen, I got $3.98. One thing to do with that. I got this Starbucks over here getting cold. That's thought book called me $5.05. I got $3.98. And of that $3.98, YouTube taking 30% of that. Come on. Come on. God take care of me. God take care of me with the five loaves and the two fish. God multiply for me. I can't trust them man. I say, hey, the courses is 50% off on tonic gases Academy. I sell two courses to be honest with you. That's how I know God real because people don't support me. That's how I know God real. People don't support me because I'm like, I ain't got that kind of support not at the level of what God doing in my life. So God say, listen, I'm gonna send a network to give you X amount of dollars. I'm gonna send this company to give you X amount of dollars. That's what God are taking do. And he'll have a remnant of people. But my supporters is I got 3.5 million followers online. I got about 40,000 students in Tony gasses Academy. So 3.5 million 10% would be 350,000. And 1% is 35,000. I got barely 1% support out of my three and a half million followers online. Y'all put that in perspective. So now let's tell me now. We taken and we when you go and you see Jacob and Esau when the younger brother pretended to be the older brother and went and deceived his daddy. So this is a son deceiving his father and the son was instructed to deceive his father by the mother and the son undercut his older brother. Come on. What the Lord showing you is you can't trust humans. You can't trust humans. We barely could trust ourselves. We barely could trust ourselves. So you got to understand that that until somebody is sold out to the Lord until somebody sold out to the Lord, they can't be trusted. And when I mean sold out to the Lord, I mean, when you is when you innate presence or you talking to them, you could feel the spirit moving.  See, somebody could have knowledge. Somebody could have wisdom.  They can't be trusted. Hey, thank y'all now. Hey, God bless you now. God bless you.  But see, I ain't the type of person to ask people for nothing. Vegan God bless you. But now see this thing, people try to say, Oh, fake guru's charlatan. If I was a fake guru in a charlatan, I'd be doing like like the men be doing on channel two. You know how they be doing on channel two on channel two right now. For your seed. The Bible in verse 21 say, Okay, right now I want to challenge you to send $21. Oh, somebody could send $210. Somebody got 2,100. Oh, somebody got 2,100. Oh, the Lord say somebody got $210.  I'm finna see you to pay for that. I got the, the, the, or a lot. I'm gonna send you one of these. That's a charlatan. That's a fake guru. But if y'all know this, when I do the own, never say, Hey, y'all send a donation. Hey, y'all send a donation. And that's why I tell people, listen, Tony Gaskins ain't never asked nobody for nothing. I show up and serve. I show up and serve. And what God got for me, God got for me. And God gonna send the people that he got a blessing for the people who he sent. That's who he's sending the support. But I ain't asked nobody for no support. That's why I always forget to say, Tony, God bless you too.  And be more God bless you before the end of going dead. And so now listen to me. Now, when you look at these stories, here go Samson, let us guard down the lila boom, cut his half because she was sent by somebody else. If man went to trust in this woman, boom, we're taking advantage of listen, people will take advantage of your kindness. People will take advantage of your kindness because humans do not care about the condition of other humans until humans are sold out to God. I did, I did a live one day. I did a zoom one day. And I talked for two hours. I opened up for Q&A. And I did Q&A for eight hours. I was on zoom for 10 hours straight. Do you know that them people, God bless they sold, they was there to get a blessing. They was there to get a blessing. Joy, was you, did you stay on the whole 10 hours? Did you leave and come back? Tell me about that, Joy. People, they did it. And I did it. Jessica, was you on that 10 out the whole 10? Look at joy. God bless the Lord. Who was there? Nicolette was there the whole time. Joy was there the whole time. Jessica, did you stay the whole time when you went and came back? Tell the truth. Now, Lord, watch it. And Lord, everybody who was there the whole time. Jessica say, thanks for telling the truth, Jessica. Just say I dropped that eight hours. But listen, see, this the kind of people that the Lord sent me. This woman say she was on there the whole time. Coach Amber say she was on there the whole time. Joy say she was on there the whole time. The debt tomorrow say the whole 10 out. See this kind of people, the Lord sent me. I was sitting on them and that day simply mirror say six out. Thank you for telling the truth. God watching. That day I found out I was a Christian. I learned that day that I was a Christian. I had thought I was a Christian since six years old. That day I learned I was a Christian. That day I learned because the class costed $25. This was a Saturday school and I charged $25 and I was only a 10 hour straight, 10 hour straight. I did not have a funnel. I ain't had no upsell. I didn't have a $15,000 mastermind, $20,000 mastermind to sell at the end of the 10 hours at the end of the 10 hours I got off of there. Having never thought I would ever experience anything like that in my life. And a lady wrote in and she said Tony, she say, Tony, I was not there to witness Jesus Christ. But she say if that was not a representation of the spirit of Christ, then I don't know what was and she said, it made me wonder if that is what Christ was doing like serving the people and that thing touched me that she equated that service to being Christ like that she equated that serves because that's the goal to represent Christ in a good way so that people can see the difference between those who just say Lord, Lord and those who really walking with the Lord. I was on the 10 hours when I tell you I was hurting and the devil trying to well up in me. The devil was, I was sitting there and the devil was saying many people nasty, many people wrong, many people don't kill, people just so nasty. And I want to get ruled. I want to snap. I want to answer them questions in a rude and mean way. But I said to myself, somebody on this call could have spent into the negative to be on this call. And if they got a question, I need to be on here until the last question because I did not say before how long the class would be and how long Q&A would be. So since then I let people know Q&A is one hour or Q&A is two hours. I let it be known so then I could get off with a clear conscience. But because I did not say the time that Q&A would be, I stayed on and did eight hours of Q&A. And guess what? I learned. But what it told me is that people want their blessing. People look out for themselves on average. That people, they wasn't going to say Tony has been on here for two hours, for three hours, for five hours, for seven hours. Let me just lower my hand and let him get back to his family. They were going to stay on there until they got their question asked. And a lot of the questions was the same question with one word change. But I did that too as a human study. And this how I do the work that I do because I truly honestly study human behavior. I'm not just on a soapbox talking. I truly honestly study human behavior.  I want to see. I want to get an idea of people when they was pulling on Jesus garment and when they was coming in and people who probably had just cursed his name came to ask for a blessing. If you do a turkey giveaway this week in your hometown, you will have if you post on Facebook, if you go to the grocery store and you buy all the turkeys you can afford out of your budget, let's say you can afford 10 turkeys, 50 turkeys. And you say, Hey, at noon on Wednesday, I'm doing a turkey turkey giveaway at Missionary Baptist or at Church of God in Christ or at similar to God on such and such Avenue.   How are you going to do a giveaway and not have enough turkeys for everybody? I am starving and my kids need to eat. I can't believe you. That's the problem with y'all. You're so greedy and selfish. You don't want to have enough for everyone. Yeah. Yeah. People will do that. A lady came in the comments and went off on me for my sound being bad on my video. Like she paying me didn't say Tony, here go a cash out so you could buy a mic. Since you obviously don't got the budget for a mic or you don't value a microphone. What's your PO box? I'm sending you a microphone, Tony. She didn't say let me sew into your ministry. She said, let me complain about the mic that you don't have for the video that you making for me for free that I don't have to pay you for. I say, and then people say Tony, can you do a video on this Tony? Can you produce a series on this? I'm like, well, who gonna pay for that? I'm like, my goodness. You see what I'm saying? So when you understand human nature, see listen, you call to love your neighbor. You call to love your neighbor. You're not called to trust your neighbor. You're not called to elevate your neighbor in your business. You're not called to put all your stock in your neighbor. The Bible tell you in Proverbs to be slow to be insurance for a friend, to be slow. Basically, it's like saying you might want to think about co-signing. You might want to think that through. Do you really want to co-sign for this person's car? Because 9 out of 10 times when you co-sign for somebody car, they're going to be late on that payment and that's going to mess your credit up and they credit already bad. So they don't care about messing your credit up because that's why they needed a co-sign to begin with because they credit was already bad. So when you start to understand humans, then you start to put humans in their place. So when people come to me and they try to look boy me, oh, that's all that's all the money you make it. Well, you need to delegate.    They stab still from them because listen, if it's more than I can do, then it might not be God will for me to do it. Because if God put the spirit in me, God ordaining and authorizing the work that I can do, not the work that I can get somebody to do from indeed.com who I could get from indeed.com and monster.com might not be called by God. So God say, what can you do? Because God gonna use you and then he could use other people to fill in the gaps of what you can't do in their ministry. So it might not be called for me to reach everybody. I'm using thumbnails right now, but it ain't necessarily to get a bigger audience or not an audience. I won't and if it get to be audience, I won't stop using thumbnail because I want to be for who God got me to be. And this is what I want you to understand. I want you to understand something. It's men on hill. It's people on hill who as long as they been on YouTube, they been playing by the YouTube rules. They use a thumbnail. They got a professional camera. They got a professional microphone. They fill out the description box. They fill out the keyword tags and they post at prime times. They title the video a certain way and they got the subscribers to show for it. But guess what? I came on here with no thumbnails, with no description box, with no keyword tags, posting at any random time of the day, any title I want to title it and look what God did. Look what happened.  If he tell you to go, he gonna make show that the path laid out and see what he's saying is, is Tony listen, you're gonna say some stuff that could get you counsel, but I'm gonna have you say that stuff at 50K at 100K at 300K at 400K because so that you could learn how to word it by the time you get to a million. So that you can learn how to say it in a certain way. I'm gonna let you go. I'm gonna let you build slower than the people that's doing it for ego and the people that's doing it for money and the people who doing it for clout and the people who doing it for praise and for women. I'm gonna let you go slower than them so you could get your mistakes out of the way. But see because they rushing because they motors are wrong when they make their mistake it's going to cost them everything because they tried to rush to the top instead of taking their time. See I'm taking my time intentionally. Don't you think I could hire, you don't you think I could hire, you see the Hill Rolex this $15,000 I could spend this money in a different way, but no I know I want to treat myself instead of hiring a cameraman because I'm not trying to grow that fast because I need time to make mistakes. I need time to learn. I need time to grow in the dark when everybody not looking. I don't want to have a million subscribers. I could play the YouTube game. I could play the YouTube game and get to a million subscribers by the end of the year. I can get to a million subscribers by the end of February. I can milk the system and do clickbait but I don't want to because I need time to make my mistakes to learn to say the things that I regret. I need time. You see what I'm saying? So you got to understand human nature so that you understand so this what I understand. If I put somebody in charge of my online academy what they're going to do is they're going to when they get comfortable with the system they're going to let their friends and family into my courses free of charge and when they get years into the system they're going to see where I don't have something activated and they're going to turn it on and they're going to put their payment account their email address for the payment to go to them. People already tried it. People already people already hacked me and put their payment stuff in there and then when the payment come through it come to my email and God have me attentive to my brand and I see it right away and I'm able to get it reversed let the person know a your payment went to the wrong person and I'm able to get it but see I know what people are going to do.  They're going to take all of them contacts and then they're going to give those contacts to their boyfriend, their girlfriend, their husband, their wife and they're going to build a speakers bureau and they're going to start managing coaches and speakers and they're going to use my contacts that I turned down and they're going to give them to somebody else without my approval and that's what they're going to do because I know human nature. I know human nature. I hired an assistant and I was paying the assistant full-time to assist but I don't have full-time work so the assistant I want to hire the assistant and God bless her soul. She didn't mean to buy it just human nature and she probably going to see this because I found her from my audience. She hired me for coaching. Let me tell you human nature now because I'm just transparent now so when you come across me now it's going to it's going to get told because I've got to teach from real life. I hired an assistant. All these years I've been building my brand last year I hired an assistant. The young lady she hired me for coaching and she said that she work for her ex-boyfriend mama and she has and she is an office assistant so she has to get in her car and drive. She got to get out the bed she got to get dressed put on makeup brush her teeth put on clothes got to spend money on clothes got to look presentable got to go into the office and allocate God bless you now and got to work up under her boyfriend mom ex-boyfriend mama 40 hours a week doing office assistant work I took and said I need an assistant I'm going to pay you more than your ex-boyfriend mama so you don't have to be attached to that soul tie because every time you see her you're going to think about him and you're never going to be able to break that soul tie so I'm going to hire you as a virtual assistant pay you more than what you get paid to sit in an office for eight hours a day but I have less than one hour of work a day to delegate to an assistant so she what she was doing for 40 hours I was paying her more than that for two hours to five hours worth of work a week and instead of saying hey Tony I'm only working five hours a week but you paying me more than what I was getting for 40 hours a week can I pick up a second job she never said that and I asked her do you want me to get my other clients who need a virtual assistant and they could pay you too she said no I'm good with the work that I have so then she went and got another job and had to go get training for the job but never told me she was going to get another job so I'm paying her full time knowing that I really don't need a full time but because I'm paying her full time I said this is what I want you to do I said I want you to get up I want your pay to be waking up eating a healthy breakfast working out every day because she had some weight she wanted to lose work out every day and you know go do your pilates or go walking or get a gym membership and you could go to Starbucks and you could work the stuff that I need you to do on social media you could go to Starbucks and do it and so I said just create you a schedule but what you was giving 40 hours to somebody else for this amount of money I'm paying you more than that to do a little bit of work but she went and got another job and then when I needed her I came into a season where I needed a few things done and I would email her email her email her no response no response no response and I'm like whoa I'm paying it one and nine and I'm emailing her during business hours and I ain't getting no response so what's going on huh did she go on vacation because when she went on vacation a few months into her job I paid her vacation time and she hadn't even worked another year and this ain't no real job this is a 1099 job this ain't no w2 job so you ain't even supposed to have paid vacation I paid on a vacation and so I'm like now she knows you could be transparent and real with me but see sometimes people think that you don't know that they are getting over on you they think that y'all got to forgive them because my phone about to go dead they think that now my sound might have to get bad if I have to plug in my charger they think that if I tell him how much of a blessing he is he's gonna realize how much he blessed me and he gonna get and he's gonna pull back and that's where people go wrong like I want you to tell me how much of a blessing I am so that I could give glory to God for blessing me to be a blessing but I don't want you to tell me I already know because I'm a human too I already know that it don't make sense for me to pay you more than what you was getting paid 40 hours a week it wasn't a lot of money because it was an office assistant job so for those of y'all who make 70,000 80,000 I ain't talking to y'all we talk about in the 20s even 20s of thousands it wasn't a lot of money but it still was more than what she was making and so when I couldn't reach her and then after about a week or so what happened is it came a Friday I ain't pay her because I hadn't heard from her all week so I ain't pay her now after that check that she thought was automatic didn't come in then she wrote me and she said Tony hey I need to talk to you want to get on the phone and talk to you just to let you know what I have going on but at that time it's like now see me I'm a nice guy but I'm not dumb I'm a nice guy but I'm not weak I'm kind but I'm not weak so don't make me show you the other side that side that's that'll be done with you so I fired her right then I fired her right then the time now I still and I'm still paying her I could have severed all ties but I still am paying her for another job to manage the social media of one of my companies I'm still paying her to do that because it's a fair price and I like that that social media is being ran now here's the thing I had assistant one time before that two times before that the one she got a new job because she wanted more after graduating from college she needed more money I'm gonna blame her I'm glad she left because I'll pay her too much and then the guy before that he lasted four months and he wasn't doing no work he was handling emails and I'm paying him every week he lived with his mama he had no bills I gave him one task I said hey I want to make a business proposal you got two master's degrees can you go on Fiverr go on Google and find out the elements of a business proposal and research this one thing and put it into the form of a proposal and then give it to me so I could share it with an investor in four months he never did that he never did that proposal I did that proposal in one day with no college degree this young man had two master's degrees and did not complete one task in four months but was collecting a check every Friday listen to me you got to learn the nature of humans you got to learn the nature of humans and when you understand that's when you understand how you when you put humans at and so now when I mention this I get a bunch of email tone I'll be a sister I'll be a sister I'll be a sister yeah everybody could be faithful for a season but can you be faithful when it's gravy can you be faithful when when it get too good can you be faithful when see think about our relationship with God we all are on our knees crying out to God when we broke but when money coming in and money good and bills paid and you got abundance how much do we talk to God when we good that's why the Bible say it'll be easier for a camel to fit through the eye of a needle than it will be for a rich man to enter heaven because when you get money money answer your prayers money become your God that's why the Bible say you can't serve money and God but the Bible also say money answer it all things so it's telling you that this money could solve a lot of problems but it also tell you you can't worship the money that's why it says the love of money is the root of all evil and that's why people go online and they say I don't agree with money is the root of all evil and it's because yes it's not the root of all evil because you not you missing the word it say the love not money the love so see when you understand this that's when you learn that humans are faithful for a season and that humans it's a man who said inspect what you expect that's why that lady who said y'all give me y'all let me go get my charger and the sound gonna get a little bad now because I ain't got no bluetooth mic and um when I pull this his sound out it's gonna get a little echo all right because I got the plug of charging in y'all give me one sec y'all give me one sec commercial break one sec y'all forgive me just the security yeah 1833 oh oh I don't have a soul writer you got a soul writer this guy for production I do but it's in my wallet my five thousand and two this is a new one okay so my wallet is right in my car it's in my car um y'all forgive me be in the city now see listen it's a man who said inspect what you expect and so it's a man who say inspect what you expect so that's why when you marry every so often every so often when you marry you got to go through your spouse phone people say people say oh oh uh on check phones on check phones it ain't about checking phones it's really just about understanding you with a human and trusting somebody don't mean you don't check on them just because you trust somebody don't mean you don't check on them every night then okay all right let me see all right and people are called that we call that toxic we call that abuse no when you marry you one you one you ain't two you one when you marry there is no privacy because my phone is her phone her phone is my phone because we won when we dating we too but when you married you won but so what you have to understand is so what you got to understand is you got to inspect what you expect meaning when you're dealing with humans it's just like if you have somebody that's working with you if you got a partner and they owe a certain department every now and then you got to check on you got to check their work and they got to check your work because when you're dealing with a human you got to check on a human because a human could get beside themselves a human could get beside themselves and get into a place to where they go to doing stuff they ain't supposed to be doing so as you moving forward in your life you got to check your friends you got to watch your friends you got to watch the people around you you got to check your family because you could take and put family over your money and your family steal your money family will be spending your money and they won't call it stealing they'll say I was spending your money because I felt like you owed me I was taking a little off the top because I felt like we family and I should have this and so but they won't see it as them doing something wrong your spouse could have access to your money and be just making a little transfer to they self and not telling you and just stacking it up stacking it up and just saying hey I was doing that because we won well one mean ain't no secrets one mean that you shouldn't have to do nothing without telling me but if you're doing without telling me then that means we too not one so listen people tell me all the time Tony you know higher style delegate scale listen I'm a scale when God say I need more than he has blessed me with like right now God bless me with more than enough I don't need to scale so why am I gonna add liability why am I gonna have somebody in my business who could steal brand secrets that is God ordained that God then gave me the ghost sell it on a in a course without me knowing just to get more money if I don't need more money I don't need more money I got enough money when when things change and God say Tony you need more money then he gonna put me in a position to make more money and that might not mean scaling that might mean he blessed me with a tv show and a network is paying me tens of millions and they have the liability because it's their style not my style I'm responsible for me so if somebody else do something wrong then they get fired by the network that might be what God do instead of me having to now micromanage people and my wife helped me understand this when I was looking at when I was looking at the white guys who in real estate and in media I was watching he had to let all his people go he had to let all his people go and uh-oh that ain't nothing but um they know what you two doing that it better not they know what you two doing that or it might be my internet I've been on here too long I've been on here too long okay it's back now it could have been my internet or my son's might be doing some streaming thank y'all for letting me know because sometimes sometimes they'll go to playing with you now they'll go to messing around you know listen to me you got to be able to check the people around you because you never know you never know what somebody got in store and what they're going to try to do and when you working by by yourself and you working on yourself you are you responsible for but when you bring other people in your circle then you got liabilities because now you got to watch on and I remember when when the thing hit the man had to close his office and he went to giving misinformation because he wanted his people back to work and my wife she said to me she said aren't you glad that you don't have 30 staff that you got to lay off and that you don't have an office that you depend on for business so that now you've got to be shutting down your office but she said God had you create something that's good in season and out of season that's good in the regular world and good when the world is in a pandemic God got you covered and then in that business actually went up and that's what I learned is you got to do what you told to do because people gonna make you feel bad about not having a bunch of friends people gonna make you feel bad about not having a team people gonna make you feel bad about not hanging out and going out and taking girls trips and guys trips people gonna try to make you feel bad about those things but you got to know what you're doing people gonna make you feel bad about not letting your friends be friends with your spouse they're gonna try to make you feel bad about it but you got to know what you call to hey we've been on here quite a while and divine this ain't no Q&A it's just a little session so God bless you thank you but I want y'all if you missed it when you want a long commute or you work in tomorrow just let it play get in your subconscious let it play get in your subconscious you know let just just listen back to it and this is the thing I don't want you to be fearful of people I don't want you to focus on isolation I don't want you to be alone or lonely but I want you to be wise in how you move be wise and how you move and be very selective with people because I get in a lot of guys don't like me in the industry because when they asked me to tour I said no when they asked me to collaborate online I said no and they mad at me about it and the reason why I said no is because I did not know them and so I couldn't assume that I knew what they do what they time behind the scenes and I couldn't align my brand with somebody that I don't really know and they didn't have enough time in the bank for me to know that they saw and so they got mad when I wouldn't partner and work with them and so I became the long ranger but I learned that through the diligence walking with the Lord so hey God bless y'all a lot of people we don't we don't have hanging on here time for people to get the bed y'all see everybody as soon as I said we've been to go folks say okay he done now let me go and go to bed and got the word hey God bless you appreciate you especially took to my rider the ones that just really be there and just be supporting but no real reason I don't even know why but I really appreciate y'all the moderators thank y'all and all my supporters that be on here thank y'all everybody that sent one of those uh whatever you call it super chat um thank you God bless you I got the opportunity to do a Tony tool that came through see how I wait to say this that when all the spectators fall off you let the spectators fall off because sometimes you have spectators and not supporters so that's why I talk so long because when it gets deep the spectators fall off and just the supporters there now I got the opportunity to do Tony tool but listen this stuff ain't cheap so I probably ain't gonna do it because what they're proposing is I have to pay to be on Apple and on Android to have my apple on Apple and Android and on the website I have to pay $12,000 to them and then I have to charge for the subscription whereas being on YouTube is free I have to charge you for the subscription but on every subscription they get a dollar so if I charge five dollars Apple gonna take 30% so that means Apple gonna take a dollar 50 so then I'm at 350 then I got to give them a dollar so then I'm at $2.50 so I'm at $2.50 and but then I got to charge and most people can't afford another subscription so if I get a thousand people I'm making $2,500 a month which YouTube do you better than that and I can't assume I'm gonna have 10,000 people because this most people are not supporters most people are spectators so they can watch for free then that's different than paying but I don't like the pay because when you got to pay for the subscription I got to be doing a full-time job producing content so it's something to where it probably ain't time because that percent that's gonna support you gonna be so small it's gonna be a waste of time to be producing all this quality content for a few people to see it and I'd rather have more people see and hear the message than to just have a few people getting the message just so I could say I got my own app you see what I'm saying and that's another thing is what I'm telling you about listening to the Lord because some of the things we do we do it out of ego it don't even make sense but we do it out of ego so now and when I get to 10 million people then the percentage that will support may be worth it to have an app with premium content see what I'm saying but right now I don't have premium content and so that's the thing but all of this stuff coming and come out the works but sometimes stuff come in the wrong season and and those things and it's like yeah you could be unfiltered but I don't really have much filtered on YouTube anyways you know it's it's certain words they don't like but then when I do the manual review then they'll go ahead and approve it so it's not a whole lot of censorship on YouTube to the point that I need to go somewhere else right now but I want to say that to say that opportunity coming out there but when it when it ain't smooth when it kind of give me my spirit some pause it let me know it ain't from God because a lot of time right before God show up with the blessing with destiny the devil show up with a with a distraction that is disguised as destiny so if I sign up on that right after I sign up and you gotta commit the two years it's been to be the next best thing gonna email me and it's gonna be like we ain't charging you nothing up front we just want a prescription of a percentage but we ain't charging you nothing up front and you ain't gotta pay us nothing so if you have zero people it costs you zero dollars and if you want to take a year off or take a month off it's cost you zero dollars we only get paid when you get paid somebody'll come with that with on out then I see and then somebody'll come and say let's we're gonna give you this up front as a signing bonus because we want a percentage off of these hill subscriptions and this hill money gonna allow you to produce premium content so it's gonna look a little different but you see the way I think through that I'm thinking through that me and God but see when the world tell you oh you got to have all this team this whole team to delegate when God call you to something you sufficient you are enough you are sufficient and where you aren't he gonna show you expressly who you need and you're gonna feel his spirit in them so strongly that it almost knocked you over if you've got a little pause it ain't God because God is not the author of confusion he does things decent and in order you know when God in the building and so that's why I don't care about who don't like me and who don't choose me that just let me know they're not walking with God because I know how I walk with God so if my spirit and my message disrupt somebody disturb somebody it let me know where they're operating from when I repel somebody it let me know we're not of the same spirit it let me know we ain't of the Holy Spirit both of us ain't on the Holy Spirit and I know I'm rocking with the Holy Spirit so that let me know when this person don't like me that's because God in me is disturbing what's in them and they could feel that so that's my own word about it but it also is a tell-tale sign for me oh okay you got something going on and the light gonna shine in that darkness mm-hmm I see that makes sense see when people that you bump into at work and in business when they know that you're moving right and you can see them they run the other way because nobody want to be seen in that way hey understand that done now we a we're just gonna go and get to um two hours and no ain't no sense of cutting three minutes short so I want you to think about this and I want you to be diligent I want you to move how God tell you to move not how man tells you to move and I had to think about that I'm like okay this man saying do this this man saying do this this man saying do this this woman saying do this this woman saying do this and then God said in my spirit the spirit say which one of them have the spirit in them the answer was now one of so why would you take instruction from somebody who ain't hearing from God mm I say oh okay you know what you write because see God know what's coming and what's gone so when God tell you to do something he gonna put you in a position so that when things change in the industry you in right standing you taking care of you taking care of and and somebody say we need the next episode of that series God ain't ordained it yet he ain't calling the next series yet because in the last series is you know stuff love stuff was in there with subliminal meanings and messages that means something that God hadn't authorized God had to rise because because it's not of God you see what I'm saying and my God showed that and he let me know see this how this happened and he's showing me he's showing me step by step I just filmed the TV show and when I got on the TV show it was some stuff that don't line up with the word of God so I couldn't be a part of it I was on the show but I couldn't be a part of every scene because I said listen don't just don't line up with my beliefs now y'all go ahead y'all got the answer to God y'all don't put that on TV y'all got answer God but I'm not gonna be in that scene and the Lord showed me he and and and my prayer is is that me being if I'm on these shows all the shows that I end up on that God allowed me to go on the show to grab the people who on the fence for him to grab the people who know him but maybe in a backslidden state or maybe hanging in the boundary and then they come on this here youtube but they come on their instagram and then I'm able to hold their hand and walk with them closer to God see and that's how God will do sometimes God will send you into enemy territory to get a victory and it'll be faith Christians who will judge you for going into that territory but if you remember God sent Jesus to a lot of centers but see he didn't have Jesus sinned with them Jesus went amongst the centers but remained righteous and see when people don't know God that's what they try to tell you so so one lady she tried to tell me she like what don't you think if God sending you to new territory then you're supposed to experience and do these things so that you can reach those people I say no God sent me in a new territory so that they could see me live righteous and see me stand on what I believe God ain't sending me into new territory for me to worship Satan with nobody to show to to when they sold God not asking me to worship Satan or to call on other spirits that are not the Holy Spirit to win nobody for him God don't need me to be sacrilegious and to go against his word to win nobody and I can't win nobody if I'm doing what they're doing if they calling on familiar spirits that is not of God and I sit down and call on those spirits with them how they gonna come to Christ when I'm doing the same thing they doing but when they see that I come and be in the world but not up the world and they see that I have boundaries for my beliefs then they're gonna say oh this man stand on something what is that you standing on and how you got the strength and the confidence to stand on that even when this bag being dangled over your head and all his money right here how you standing on something you see what I'm saying and that's what they need to see they need to see that not every black man gonna put on no dress to be exalted in the devil world they need to see that not every black man gonna go against God for a check they need to see that not every black man will sell his soul to get ahead they need to see that not every black man racing for fame and willing to do anything for fame they need to see that and that's how they're gonna get to know God because they're gonna say well that strength and that confidence gotta come from somewhere because I ain't got it they need to see that not everybody is afraid to go alone they need to see it but it's a lot of people who God and call them to something and they won't go because they're waiting on a partner God and call you to something and you won't go because you're waiting on a team you feel like you need a publicist to do what God told you to do you feel like you need a videographer to do what God told you to do you feel like you need an assistant you need a co-founder you need a spouse a business partner if God told you to do it then do it and he gonna provide everything you need and he gonna get the glory you see the man hey I got to go we don't know I'm starting to hurt now I'm gonna talk to my like me sony hey God bless y'all thank y'all for sending them blessing and for being on here supporting and I know some people got to get up and go to work tomorrow after midnight y'all forgive me y'all forgive me but God blessing we'll talk soon walk walk walk this back again I mean you know watch this if you missed it God blessing we'll talk soon oh why go why go I got a little videos going up while I'm on vacation I was gonna shop for videos and they scheduled for 12 noon they scheduled for noon eastern every day not every day I might miss a day or two this week so set the clocks and noon eastern the video go out you can watch it and listen now to the ladies this week is a summer that is ladies week this week meaning I'm stepping on some toes with the truth for what the devil is doing and how he's moving amongst women so be ready to be offended but know it's coming from love and it authorized by the Lord but uh it's some truth in there now I couldn't title it as really that needs to be titled because I'm still sensitive and I'm still growing and I don't like the ruffle fellas I don't like to hurt people feeling I don't like to step on toes and um so yeah it's gonna be real nice but I also did a series for men but those spaced out a little differently because it ain't a lot of men that's seeking self-development in this way so it's spaced out a little different and it's packet different you're gonna see that the message for men now is package a little different and so you know it it's gonna come with a little backlash probably but it's package different but y'all see that on fridays to fellas that's on the channel that bump on here god bless you we'll talk soon and we're gonna see it's true when that when these guys talk about a woman like a working man because I've been on here for two hours and see if my wife okay with that or she rather been ready for me to get off on her hey god bless you


Hi, I'm Savin Reddy. I'm going to show you Azure Data Lake and Visual Studio work together to make big data easy. Azure Data Lake is made of three Azure services. The first is Azure Data Lake HD Insight, a generally available service for using Hadoop clusters in Azure using Windows or Linux, and two new services that are currently in public preview. Azure Data Lake Analytics, a highly scalable dynamic query service, and Azure Data Lake Store, a hyper-scale, HDFS Store optimized for compute performance on big data workloads. Now, what we've heard from customers is that doing big data is challenging. It's very hard to author, monitor, optimize, and debug, and we've taken our years of experience building a massive exabyte-scale big data system that thousands of developers are using every day and are bringing that to you in the form of Azure Data Lake with two new services, Store and Analytics. In the following demo, we'll focus on how data lake tools for Visual Studio makes it easy to see performance hotspots, and how to trade off cost versus query execution time. Let's take a look. So what we're looking at here is Visual Studio 2015, and I've installed data lake tools for Visual Studio as you can see in the menu. What I have open is an actual big data analytics job that I ran a week or two ago. Now, this job, as you can see here, took about 40 minutes to run, and you can see from the state it actually succeeded. Now, let's scroll down and learn a little bit more. This job read about 11 terabytes. It wrote about 10 terabytes. This isn't a particularly large job. Big data analytics jobs can do terabytes, tens of terabytes, hundreds of terabytes, and even petabytes. Now, I wrote this job in USQL, and I'll show you that in just a second. But the key thing here is that whatever I wrote, the USQL compiler and optimizer split the job apart. The total work was split apart into 12,000 chunks, what we call vertexes. When I submitted the job, I said reserve 1,000 units of parallelism or 1,000 nodes. So in short, try to do those 12,000 things 1,000 at a time, if possible. So those 1,000 nodes were spun up for me, just as the job started. The job ran, and the 1,000 nodes were de-allocated when the job finished, and I only paid for as much time as it took to run the job, so I paid for 1,000 nodes for about 40 minutes. Now, let's take a look at the USQL script. Scroll down, I'll click on Script. I won't spend too much time here. Just point out a few things. First of all, it uses an assembly. This is just some C-sharp code we wrote, and we installed it in the USQL catalog, and it contains helper functions and some other pieces of code that we re-use. You can see that USQL has embedded C-sharp expressions right in the language, and the rest of the script simply reads some data and writes it, and it uses some of the code that's in that assembly. Now, what you're not gonna see in this script is anything about clusters or nodes. You write these USQL scripts as if you're writing on one machine, and you let Azure Data Lake Analytics take care of parallelization, and it happens automatically. All you have to do is say how parallel you'd like to make it, how much parallelism you'd like to reserve, and that's 1,000 in the case of this job. And that script is a logical, a purely logical interpretation, but it transforms the input data into the output data. Again, it says nothing about clusters or nodes or anything else. That's the logical plan, and the green thing on the right is what the compiler and optimizer produced. It's the execution plan, what we sometimes call the physical plan. This is what actually happened. Now, it may not make any sense. You probably get the idea that there's inputs, outputs that it transformed here, but the key thing this tool tries to help you with is how do you optimize? How do you spot where to focus your time on? And the simplest tool we have to help you understand that is this Playbutt. So as those 12,000 vertexes ran, we recorded every time they started, ran, and stopped. And that's called a job profile, which we load here, and now what you're not seeing is a movie. It's not a movie. This is an actual visualization of what actually happened in the job. And just by watching this 30-second animation, which again is not a video, you can get an intuitive sense of where time is spent in your job, right? And it wouldn't matter if this job took a day or 15 minutes, it's always playback in 30 seconds. Now sometimes even you might be wanting an answer faster than 30 seconds, where are the hotspots? So we have built-in heat maps to help you understand this. So for example, if I click on display here under progress, which is what's being shown, I can switch to a number of other different ways of slicing this. I'm gonna pick execution time. And now the colors tell us something. The more red means more time is relatively being spent in those places, and if it's more blue, less time is spent there. So we can see where more time is spent in stages like this, this, this. Wherever it's more red, and I'll zoom in, and let's just try to explain what it means a little bit. Now, there are three stages here. They've been compressed here, but the key thing is that of the 12,000 vertexes, about 935 happened here. And on average, each one took about 50 seconds. And this read something like 200 million rows. And so how you wanna think about this is, hey, if I had had 1,000 vertexes, or 1,000 units of parallelism, I could have done this entire stage in about 50 seconds, right? So let's zoom out and think about that for a second. Should I pay for more parallelism or less? Will it be worth it for me? Will the job actually get faster? Or will it be wasting parallelism? Now fortunately, we have some very clever developers who are used to helping people analyze performance for these big data jobs, and we've baked in their expertise. So without you asking, we've already run these diagnostics. And this job doesn't really have any particular problems. But let's go over something that's quite interesting about this job, which is this one thing called resource usage. It's green, there are no real problems here, and the question is, can we make the job better? Now I'm gonna turn off some of the debug information and just focus on two things. This blue line, the blue line is set at 1,000, because that's the 1,000 units of parallelism that I asked for, the 1,000 nodes. The red line says how many of them are actually being used? So everything under the red is actually being used. Everything over the red to the blue line is waste. So already we can see the job took around 35, 40 minutes, but a substantial portion of those nodes were unused during that time. So this job is a little wasteful. Could we make it better? Well, we have a usage modeler here. I'm gonna click on that and it's analyzed the job based on what happened and some predictions. And it's not completely perfect, but it'll give you a really good idea of how to start optimizing and playing. So what it's telling me here is that if I had picked 2,425 units of parallelism, this job would have completed in 1,400 seconds. Okay, now that's the fastest it thinks it can be done, but notice there's tremendous amount of waste that's the area above the blue line. Let's play with the number and see if we can make it better. And what we want is the blue line to be high, so less waste, but we know we're gonna trade off time for that. So let's pick 500. This is much better, there's much less waste, but the job is gonna take now about 2,100 seconds. How about 100? Now, see, there's very little waste, but the job takes about 8,700 seconds. So it's tools like this we're baking in to help you understand, do you wanna pay more and is it worth it? So I hope you've enjoyed this demo and I hope it shows you how we've helped make big data optimization easy for developers. I hope you were excited about Azure Data Lake as we are after watching that video. We have some resources for you. You can go to channel nine and see a series called Azure Data Lake and a show called Data Exposed. Many great videos are there for you. You can go to github, github.com slash Azure Data Lake, links to everything you need are there. If you wanna give us feedback, suggestions, feature ideas, go to aka.ms, ADL feedback, and you can enter your feedback on our Azure User Voice site. And finally, of course, install Visual Studio and Data Lake tools for Visual Studio. Thanks for your time. I appreciate it. I hope you have a great time getting into big data.
