Thank you very much for that. I have great pleasure in introducing Fatima Manji. This is a real treat for me because I'm very keen on Channel 4 news and I think it is the best of investigative journalism that we've got on British TV. Fatima works on a variety of news domestic and international. Recent examples include reporting on the refugee crisis from Hungary and Serbia and charting the rise of Jeremy Corbyn here in the UK.

Last year, Fathom was a finalist for the Royal Television Society's Young Journalist of the Year Award, and it's a real treat to welcome her here today. Thank you. Thank you very much for that kind introduction. It's good to know Channel 4 News has one fan in your genes. So good morning everyone, and it's a huge pleasure to be with you here today as part of this debate, which I really believe is going to be one of the defining political and social issues of our time, that of British Muslims and integration. Now, as a journalist, I'm in the fortunate position of very often asking the questions and very rarely having to provide the answers. And you'll be pleased to hear I have no intention of breaking with that tradition today, so I'm going to pose a series of questions, and hopefully throughout the day, the distinguished panellists will be able to answer them. Now, these are all kind of challenges, confusing thoughts, tensions that have appeared in my mind, both personally and professionally as a journalist and a Muslim, and just a few thoughts that I want to share with you. Now, I know you've already been thinking about what does integration actually mean. A question I'd like to pose to you is, what does the integrated British Muslim look like? Maybe to some of you, that's obvious in the debates that you've already had. But recently, this tension particularly popped up in my mind when a colleague of mine interviewed a young British Muslim woman who had gone to Syria with her five children to join ISIS. Now, this woman's subsequently left, and this isn't really about her case, but what I thought was fascinating is, in the interview she gave about why she had decided to leave ISIS and telling other people not to join, her description of this violent, brutal, barbaric group was this, that they were just not my cup of tea.  But at the same time, here's a woman who apparently actively joined a group who were fundamentally opposed to British values as defined by the government, and I understand that is democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and respect for other faiths. Now, all of that you can debate later. But the question it does pose is, was the lack of integration really the problem here? And the further question it also leads us to is, is integration and Britishness really about culture, or is it to be a political project? And I don't think we decided on what that is yet. So culture or political project, is it possible to distinguish between those two things? Let's take an example. Last year, the Sun newspaper ran a headline on its front page called United Against ISIS.  And the paper cried out that to be British was to make a stand against any hatred or extremism. Now, what if someone opposes this campaign? More specifically, what if a British Muslim disagrees with this campaign, as many Muslims I know did at the time? Does that make them less British? Does that make them less integrated? I think here we have an example of where it seems British values actually become a synonym for deradicalisation. And we need to think about what the long term implications of that are. I believe that one of the dangers of talking about Britishness and integration in this way is it narrows our debate. It stops us from having that wider, much needed, sometimes painful conversation we need to have as a society. Now, I don't want to get into the business of denying that there is a problem. There definitely is a problem of some disaffected young Muslims turning to violent sectarian Wahabi ideology. And for me personally, it's been incredibly disturbing to report on some of the rhetoric and actions taken by young British Muslims. As an example, I covered the story of Aqsa Mahmoud, 21-year-old, young, middle-class, privately-educated, Glaswydian girl, strong family links. She ends up leaving her parents devastated by not only choosing to go to Syria and join ISIS herself, but then also publishing online material, some of it filled with hate, encouraging other young women to do the same. Now, how do we as a society, and I'd say as a society rather than community, make sense of something like that? I think one thing's for certain, it won't happen if ordinary Muslims in Britain are afraid to express what they really feel for fear of being labelled as deviant, unintegrated, or perhaps the worst of them all being opposed to British values. And I think sadly that fear is starting to take hold, and we're already witnessing Muslims feeling the need to go above and beyond to prove their commitment to British values and their Britishness. Now, one Muslim group, excuse me, one Muslim group last year, and I understand repeated this year, launched a hijab with poppies on, and the Daily Mail rather excitedly seized upon their campaign, urging Muslim women to show their support for the armed forces and defy extremism. And notice, by the way, how these great patriotic anti-extremist gestures often seem to take place on Muslim women's heads. Not for the first time in history have Muslim women become totans in political and cultural battle. But to come back to the idea of poppy hijabs. Now, this isn't a criticism of remembrance. It's not a criticism of ideas of the idea of poppies themselves. That's a different debate entirely and not one I want to get into. But the question here is, why is it Muslims that urge to go the extra mile? For every other Brit, a humble, subtle paper poppy on your jacket is enough. For Muslims though, this poppy, or in this case multiple poppies on your head, becomes a kind of loyalty to Britain test. In the last week when I was doing some research for this presentation today, I also came across no doubt well-meaning, but pretty confused article in The Independent, announcing that the Prophet himself had British values. Now, given that arguably Great Britain was founded some thousand years after his lifetime, that seems a rather odd thing to say. Upon closer examination, the author was actually critiquing the government's prevent policy, and calling for extremism to be challenged through Islamic teachings themselves in schools. But they felt the need to couch it in this projection of British values upon Islam's central character. The danger then is increasingly we're only going to hear the views of those who look and sound acceptable as good British Muslims. And those who have a more critical political contribution to make will either stay silent for fear of their loyalties being questioned, or retreat into their own communities instead of engaging with mainstream political discourse. Perhaps the exact opposite of what we might want an integrated society to look like. And as ever, throughout this debate, I think we also need to ask who speaks for and about British Muslims. Now, when we ask that question for journalists like myself, it means we need to think about how we present a diversity and a range of British Muslim voices, not just the good Muslim citizen who's speaking out against extremism versus the nasty extremist. But there are also lessons here for policymakers. Look to the history of this nation's colonial past, and we see how empire relied on elites from native populations, who often told their masters what they wanted to hear rather than being reliable bellwethers of opinion. Now is history repeating itself here. I often hear Muslim communities complain that the government is not listening and not engaging, that it's choosing to take policy advice from a small cabal of irrelevant elites who have little knowledge of what is really happening within communities. So we also need to ask who benefits from the framing of Muslim communities as a problem. Who are the careerists cashing in on the securitisation of Muslim behaviour? Now the more cynical of you might point to some of my fellow journalists making a career out of reporting on Muslim behaviour, and you wouldn't be wrong, it's true. Barely a day goes by without a national newspaper or a broadcast outlet reporting feverishly on Muslims using the terms radical Islam, Islamist. I've often sat in our morning editorial meeting willing it to be the one day that those pesky Muslims don't pop up on the news in Jadwnda. Excuse me, it's making me lose my voice, that's how upset I am. Now fortunately at Channel 4 News we pride ourselves at looking at things alternatively, being fair, being willing to challenge the established narrative on an issue. And I'm saying this without my bosses being present. But certainly the rising influence of Wahhabism in the UK is disturbing. It's a serious subject for well informed journalists and credible specialists in government to take up. However, as someone within the media industry, I think there is a systematic problem. With the disproportionate interests my fellow reporters are showing in Islam and Muslims. A breathless and sensationalist story about Muslims is an easy one to put together. It plays on deeply held and pre-existing fears about Islam and Muslims that many readers and viewers already have. And it requires little explanation. I think an important point here also is most journalists are unlikely to be challenged by either their editors or by their audience when they either make mistakes or deliberately mislead readers and viewers. Unlike in stories about other minority groups. The Muslim groups that could potentially challenge these inaccuracies either don't exist or are under resourced. So a sensationalised or ill-informed story about Islam and Muslims is journalistically cheap. There is just no cost to making mistakes or misleading audiences. One example to consider here, and I'm sure lots of you read about it, is mysterious surrounding the so-called Trojan horse scandal in Birmingham schools. All based on a letter that was later found to be forged. There were weeks of headlines proclaiming that hardline Islamists had conspired to take over schools. The first question that you should probably ask yourself here and one that I certainly did is what self-respecting Islamist resorts to Greek mythology to describe their plots. In any case, subsequent investigations seem to suggest that what had happened in these schools largely was about incompetence and mismanagement, and in fact when the House of Commons Education Select Committee, the respected group of cross-party MPs considered it, they found no evidence of extremism or radicalisation apart from a single isolated incident. They also said there was no evidence of a sustained plot and no evidence of a similar situation pertaining elsewhere in the country. That obviously received much less media attention. How did all of this escalate so quickly? More importantly, what do Muslim communities and good journalists need to do to ensure accuracy when a story like this rears its head in the future? I was asked to end on something that makes me optimistic for the future. I think the organisers were a little bit worried that I'd depress you too early in the day, so I am happy to oblige my room. Earlier I mentioned how Muslim women are too often used as a political football in these debates. When a woman who happens to be a hijab-wearing Muslim called Nadia won the Great British Bake Off, which was one of the BBC's most watched programmes of the year, naturally one Daily Mail columnist reacted with a snarky remark on chocolate mosque cakes. Another one claimed that this visibility of Muslim women was a sign of the unstoppable force of Islam in Britain. Even morning it would lead to veiled cabinet ministers and, wait for it, newsreaders. Imagine that. The more liberal media used Nadia's win to indulge in debates about multicultural Britain. Now, where's the optimistic part you're probably asking? It's coming. I think the best coverage of all came from, and you won't hear me say this very often, Hello Magazine. They simply put her on the front page with her family and build her as the nation's new sweetheart. It made me think that if a celebrity gossip magazine can get it right, then I think there's hope for the rest of our media and our policy makers yet. Thank you.


The study evaluated the antioxidant properties of three types of olive leaf extract, pickule, tofahi and shemlali, and found that they all had high levels of phenols and flavonoids. Additionally, the extracts displayed strong antioxidant activity, as measured by the DPPH, reducing power and nitric acid scavenging assays. Furthermore, the extracts also showed significant alpha-glococidase inhibiting activity and dose-dependent protection against hemolysis. In vivo experiments indicated that the administration of the extracts alone and in combination with metformin significantly reduced blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin levels, lipid parameters, and liver enzyme levels. Histological analysis confirmed that the extracts and their combination with metformin could repair damaged liver, kidney, and pancreas cells and restore them to near-normal function. Based on these results, the authors conclude that the olive leaf extracts have potential antioxidant and anti-diabetic properties, making them a promising treatment option for diabetes mellitus type 2.

What's up guys? We're back with another epic video and this one's gonna be a little spooky. Ghosts from the past has finally showed up. Shown up? Showed up? Ghosts from the past has finally shown up. Two packs. So I bought three cases of this and it got delayed. So I went to my locals and I got these. These are the only two they had. So that's all we have for today, but we're gonna open them up. There's also a giveaway. These three cards, all invasion of chaos. We have a first ed or mega fortress whale, whatever you call it. All you gotta do, like the video, be subscribed and let me know what you're excited about for Ghosts from the Past, what you're not excited about, your opinion, favorite ghost rare, whatever. Let's pull something insane out of these two boxes. All right, so this is gonna be not the longest video because I have three cases. They're not here. We're just gonna open what we have. So eventually those cases will be here and we're gonna do openings. And it's gonna be a lot and hopefully we'll actually get ghost rest. I'm hearing a lot of weird stuff about this set. Like people are opening multiple cases and getting no ghost rest. People are opening one case and getting multiple ghost rest. But did I say that the right way? Okay, no ghost rest for multiple cases. Multiple ghost rest from single case. Yeah, there we go. And we're even half a case, stuff like that. So yeah, I don't know what's gonna happen. I mean, we could get lucky. We could not. We're just gonna, we're gonna open it up. The newest set, finally a new set in Yu-Gi-Oh. It's been forever. But here we go. The packaging looks incredible. So we're gonna give them that already. How are you supposed to open this thing? Wait. Oh, I see. No, nothing to worry about here. Nothing to worry about. We totally know how to open Yu-Gi-Oh boxes. Okay, there we go. I was about to open them in a strange way. Okay, we have what? Five cards per pack. Okay, three and five cards. Let's just get all, no, let's do it one at a time because it's gonna be a short video. Okay, Dark Magician being here. Yeah, for the most part, the other cards are not that expensive. I think like 20 bucks was like the highest non-ghost rare. Okay, the monarch's erupt. So let's see if we can pull a ghost out of two mini boxes or whatever you call these. Probably not gonna happen. So we're gonna need you to hit the like button. Go in there. Check and make sure the like button is working, guys, because occasionally the like button won't be working. You wanna make sure if you press it that it lights up. Yeah, make sure. If it's not, then it's not working and you're gonna have to let YouTube know. Okay, we got a Sylvan Dryas. It's just, it's a tree and just like the middle of nowhere. It's like in the sky. XC's Burst. Okay, we've seen that one before. That's cool. Update Jammer. That's cool. And a Starry Night Sky. Not many cards that I really care about in there, to be honest. There's not, there's not many that I really care about besides the ghosts. So we're gonna see if we can find some cool artworks or something in here. And then obviously we want a ghost rare. Obviously. I don't know what spot it'll be in. Will it be at the front? It'll be. Oh. The Dragon Knight Dracoaqueast. My favorite card that I've probably saying wrong every time. Time Thief Perpetual. I know this one. Okay, that's good. Hieratic Seal of Supremacy. Okay. Starry Night Astle. And Jirguinedi. Oh, Jirguinedi Knights have a decent one. I don't know if this is a good one or not. I'm gonna have to look. Okay, this is, we're looking for, we're looking for Jirguinedi Remus. Like Remus Lupin from Harry Potter. That's what we're looking for. Not that guy. Okay. So this is almost the end of one of our boxes. This is very sad. I want to open more, but I can't. So yeah, I didn't watch anybody open this somehow. I avoided it because I was like, I'm gonna just open it myself the first time and see what's in there. So let's see. We got a Tackle Crusader. Okay. Buster Dragon. Cool. Cool. Mist Valley Baby Rock. It's a nice mask you got there. And a Vampire Voivode. Voivode. That looks like something from Jojo's or something. Okay. So that's the first box. All those cards. So I paid 30 bucks for that. 30 bucks for that. So that feels a little bit bad. Feels a little bit bad because these are expensive. But we have another chance at the lottery. We got another lottery ticket here because it's Ghost Rare or Bust pretty much with this price. It is pretty tough. Okay. Let's see. Let's see. Ghost Rare. Ghost from the past, number two. Hopefully our cases will come in soon. And I can open more. Maybe we'll do a live stream. Stuff like that. Because, yeah. I would love to open more than just six packs. All right. Let me know if you guys are opening this set. If you are, what have you pulled? Have you pulled a Ghost Sure yet? Have you had amazing luck or terrible luck? It seems like those are the stories you either did really good or you did awful. So far, I don't think we can do awful with only six packs. I mean, we're probably not going to pull a Ghost. Oh, yes. Heels and Rue. That's probably my favorite card in the set. That's not a Ghost Rare, to be honest. That's cool. That's really cool. Cosmol Dark Lady. This was worth like 12 bucks in the original Seeker Rare printing from... Wait. It's either Breakers of Shadow or the other one that's like right next to it. It's one of those. Salvage. I think that's a decent card. Finally got a reprint. Time Thief, Bezel Ship. And a Sunvine Thrasher. I like that Heels and Rue. I mean, that is a cool card. I mean, that's old school. I think it's the first foil rep... Or first foil print of it of all time. All right, Black Luster Soldier. I would love to pull the Black Luster Soldier Ghost Rare. Why don't we just pull it? Apparently the conditions are really nice on these Ghosts compared to the Raw. The Raw where it was terrible. Splash Mage. Metaphosed Silver D. Okay. Sunseed Shadow. Drugunity Draft. Drugunity Remus. Yes. That's the best card. It's an Ultra, I think. Yeah. Wait, Red Superdover Dragon? Did we pull that? I don't think we did. Okay. That's a good one. We got a good pull, guys. That pays for part of one of our things. So that's pretty good. Pretty good. We'll take that. Drugunity Remus and Final Pack with Dark Magician. So we're going to get Remus. And that actually is a nice looking card. And then we're going to get a Dark Magician Ghost Rare. Right? Right? Hey, did you guys check and make sure that Like button was working over there? The subscribe button, really. There's been a lot of issues with the subscribe button. It's like, it's so weird. It's like you're watching a video and like if the subscribe button is red, it's bad. Like you want to make sure it's not red. If it's red, you're in big trouble. I'm just saying. So make sure that you fix it. Just tickle it on there. All right. Time Thief Retrograde. Sylvan, this looks just like the other card, but there's more trees. Is it just me? Oh, that's not Sylvan. That's Son of Alon. Son of Alon. Okay. Dragoonity Obliet. Hieratic Dragon Assets. All right. Our last chance at a Ghost Rare. Here we go, guys. For luck. Oh, Arm Dragon Level 10. That's so weird to see that after I just got an Ultimate Rare Printing. That's weird, but okay, that's cool. All right. So we did get the best card that's not a Ghost. So that's a success, I'd say. That's really good. I'll go through and see if I missed anything. That's good when I'm editing this video. But yeah, the shorter video today, unfortunately, I haven't got my cases yet, but when I get them, we're going to do some epic openings. Hopefully get a Ghost Rare, please. That was fun. I hope you guys enjoyed it. Let me know what you guys have experienced with Ghost from the Past so far, and I'll see you guys later. Peace. Elements of Hero. Dark Bright. Boom. Ghost from the Past has finally showed up. Shown up? Showed up? Ghost from the Past has finally shown up.

Hello, welcome back on my YouTube channel. Today we've got some great news. It's now possible to install QGIS 3.22 LTR in a KONDA environment. This means that we can also use PCRuster now with QGIS 3.22 on KONDA, which is great news for users on macOS and Linux. Of course Windows users can also use this, but Windows users could also use the OSD04W installer. Another great improvement is that with the latest release of PCRuster 4.4, it now supports the ARM architecture and packages for Apple M1 are now also available on KONDA Forge. So here in this video you see how to create a new environment and install QGIS and PCRuster in one environment. After the installation is done, you can activate the environment, call it PCRuster QGIS LTR. Then you can simply run QGIS and here you see it starts 3.22. In QGIS 3.22 you can then install PCRuster tools and work with it right away. Thanks a lot to all the developers from PCRuster at Utrecht University and from KONDA Forge. This is really a great help to improve the installations for users on different platforms.


Hey y'all it's Tammy with Collard Valley Cooks. We are having a wonderful time with our in-laws or my in-laws and Chris's parents this week. I am showing you guys a couple of repeats that are really good videos that didn't get a whole lot of views and I know many of y'all haven't got to see them so we are showing you today my mother's sponge cake. She actually had dementia at the time she gave me this recipe and she was having a good day so I got her to tell me how to make her homemade sponge cake. She was so proud of it. Mama passed away in June of 2019 and I made this video in July the next month so I hope you enjoy it. Remember to like and subscribe. Thanks for watching. Blue ribbon cake cause that's 213 times. Looks pretty. Giving you just a self-rising file a recipe. We're going to separate out six eggs. Mama did it first so we're going to put the whites in here because we're going to mix up the whites first and then we're going to place the yellows in here because we will be using the mixer and mixing those up as well until they're frothy so we're going to get started. I get them out of the refrigerator a little early because cold eggs don't beat up as good as eggs that's been sitting out a while okay. I take six eggs and separate them. The whites I separate into the big mixer that I'm going to mix my egg whites up in okay. Then I set that back. I do this in phases because that way I keep things straight in my mind. Oh no I think it's better for anybody. Okay now we're going to measure out our flour and get that situated before we start mixing up our ingredients. So in a large bowl we are going to take a sifter. Sometimes I use self not self-rising flour but plain flour and I have to put salt and all that in it but I'm giving you just a self-rising file a recipe. We're using a quarter cup of sugar in our egg white. Then I take the egg yellows taste full of vanilla extract. Then I put about a fourth cup of water in with that. The first thing we're going to mix is the egg whites. So when you mix egg whites your eggs should be room temperature you're going to turn your mixer on you're going to gradually add a quarter cup of sugar. Now we're going to add cream of tartar. It's been full of cream of tartar. A little bit just a minute on low while I'm adding the ingredients and then after that you turn it up to a high. I'll take the egg whites put them on the mixing bowl turn it on high speed and beat it till it's to high peak. Now that's ready. Okay then I get that and I set it back when it gets done and put the yellows on the mixer and I put the yellows in the beaters, same beaters.  I beat the egg yellows in the water and the mix and the vanilla flavor till it gets real frothy. Okay you can see that these eggs are like foam now. They just look like foam and that's okay. We're going to start adding the rest of our dry ingredients while it's on low and beat the tickets out of them because that makes them creamy. They turn into just a cream like. Now we're going to take a large bowl the one we had our dry ingredients in. We're going to put in our egg whites and then I take the egg yellows pour over into the egg whites and use my spatula to fold them together. Don't stir it but fold them over and over together till you get it all to look in the same color because if you put it in there and you put a lot of color in there in spots then it won't look pretty whenever you cook it. I put this cake in the fair cedar town I put it in the fair ron which is about 50 miles from us but anyway I made first place blue ribbons and everything every time because my color was pretty in it. It was all evenly distributed. Yeah that's the word distributed and then I pour it in a pan that is a 10 inch tube pan with no this pan no nothing on it just plain pan. Take the knife and run down in there and try to get the air bubbles and stuff out of it and then I put it in an oven this 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Oh let me tell you how to take this thing out of the pan. Okay you take it out of the oven when it's cooked 45 minutes and you turn it upside down. We're going to flip it upside down here and we're going to let it sit upside down for one hour. Mine had little stands ever five inches around the top edge so that way when I turned it over see it didn't fall on top of this top. Yeah when you get your sponge cake cooled down you're going to take a spatula and run all the way around the edge. Let's go around the bottom edge as well. I don't want to do bottom edge first. Now it's come out. You're going to take your spatula and you're going to go right up against the bottom to pull that cake up off the bottom of this fluted pan. So okay I've been all the way around and I'm going to use my small one because I don't want to mess up my pretty cake. Now we should be able to take it off the base just like that flip it up. Now my fingerprints are on the top and sit it on your cake stand. Okay you can see that it's very spongy to the touch. It's like a sponge and that's why it's called sponge cake. It's good for you. It doesn't have a lot of ingredients and stuff in it that's bad for you as far as sugars and things and you can actually reduce the sugar if you want to and it'll still work. See I smashed it and it still fits in just perfect. What's your favorite thing to go on it? Strawberry and whipped cream. Just like tonight. Yes but it's good with peaches and whipped cream or anything. Yeah all right tell them. Bye bye y'all have a good day. I hope you've enjoyed watching my mother's sponge cake recipe and the memories that I have of her telling me how to make this cake before she passed away is a very very sweet and dear video to all of her children's hearts. Y'all have a blessed day and thanks for watching.


Here is how you can integrate Google Pay for your e-commerce website in four simple steps. Load the Google Pay API JavaScript library. Determine readiness to pay. Add the Google Pay button. Create a payment data request object. First, you add the script tag to your site. As soon as the script is loaded, you will construct the Payments Client object by passing it to an environment field, test or production. For the test environment, you don't need to register with Google. You can play with the API yourself and integrate into your site. In this case, we do show users real data. However, whenever they make a selection, we will return you a fake token. If you're working with one of the supported processors, we will return you a token which you can use in their test environment. Remember, your real card details are never used when in environment test, but you must add at least one chargeable card to your Google account before you proceed.  You can apply for production access on g.co.pay.signup. Now that you have your payments client constructed, the first API you will call is, is ready to pay. With is ready to pay, you can determine whether the user has a valid payment method on file and is on a supported browser. The Google Pay API supports all major browsers, including Safari, Opera, Firefox, Chrome, UC browser, and soon Microsoft Edge. At Google, we focus on optimizing for conversions so if is ready to pay returns false, we highly recommend that you do not render the Google Pay button.  We recommend that you use this API to ensure the Google Pay branding is used correctly per our latest guidelines. In the future, we will also automatically translate the button text based on the user's location. Once you add the button to your site and the user clicks on the button, you will call the load payment data to open up the payment sheet. You can construct the payment data request object, which is a set of payments configurations used for this particular transaction. You can specify and request the following information in addition to the payment credentials. Email, phone number, shipping address, billing address. We recommend that you collect as little information as necessary to prevent users from typing additional information which might not be stored in their accounts. One more point to call out in this object is the payment request tokenization parameters. Google encrypts information about a shopper's selected card for secure processing by a merchant's gateway or directly on a merchant's secured servers. Be sure to check your processor's integration guidelines to find out what they need to finalize the payment. Now that you've constructed the request object, you will pass it to load payment data, an async call which will open our payment sheet. Once the user makes a selection, we will return to you a payment data object which consists of metadata about the user's selection. It also includes the payment token which you can use to complete the transaction. Now you can send the final production-ready app to Google for a final test. Google tests the apps with real cards and informs you if everything is correct. The app is then cleared to launch. You can find additional information in our developer documentation on g.co.pay.api. Don't miss any future videos about Google Pay, Chrome, and Web, and subscribe to the Google Chrome Developers channel. If you're watching on a mobile, tap the little bell to receive new upload notifications. See you soon.


So this is where we're at so I'm going to give you six maybe eight minutes if everybody's working talking and thinking about it to work on your scramble sequence now there's some there's some guidelines to this thing all right and at the end of camp like I said we'll kind of spread out and let everybody show their sequence it can be as wild as you want it to be it can be half action movie half scramble sequence whatever all right half pro wrestling match I don't care the core of it has to be scrambled positions all right so I could run off the wall go back through that middle low single and then when you start scrambling all right I want you to be as creative as possible so think about today and we gotta maybe a little bit more technique to learn you'll have twice as much technique tomorrow all right so you have way more positions you'll be even more comfortable you'll be a level of links and stuff together does a couple things get you talking about technique and discussing it with your partner instead of me just showing it and pounding you over the head with it and adjusting positions all right let you be creative and think outside the box a little bit and it's fun it's not just drilling the same position over and over again all right it can be two positions it could be 25 30 positions I don't care all right you can make it as dramatic and cool as you want or it can be super clean textbooks scrambled positions boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom and then you're done and we got it so here's the deal you're going to go out with your partner you're going to discuss these positions you're going to work through them and you're going to try to link scramble positions together here's the beauty of it there are zero wrong answers there's no wrong answers to anything we do in the lab right we're in the lab right now be as creative as we won't make as many mistakes as we want all right zero wrong answers so I'm not going to be like nope you can't do that nope that's wrong all right we're being as creative as possible right now cool all right can we get there and work on it and like be focused on it so you're working on scramble sequences I'm not going to help you link stuff together this is your time to use your brain and get with your partner go all right let's get it go


I work with a guy named Damon West. And Damon and Dak, they pretty cool.  And I kinda laughed it off. I'm like, man, Dak ain't coming to no penitentiary. This is the, we talking about the quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys. They like, yeah. So we get the Dak pulled up. Yeah, we on boss talk one on one, one on one. Yeah, we gonna talk. Connecting with these people as they come home and you really giving them a chance if they wanna take it. There you go. You said the key word. If they wanna take it. If you wanna take it. Cause if you're looking for Bruce to turn your life around overnight, that's not what's gonna happen. If you're looking for Bruce to do the work, that's not what's gonna happen. But what is gonna happen is Bruce are gonna expose to you that you can be successful at a high level. Wow. I'm gonna expose that to you. I'm from the old school, man. We believe in putting in our own work. Let's talk about you taking, I believe when you took little Kiki down there, it was the same prison that he had visited before he told me on here. And let me tell you, I will tell you what's crazy. This, let me show you the irony.  I went to, I thought they would keep me in there. I've been so bad all my life that I'm like, boy, would I get it? They gonna keep me from some old age. So it was the Pulaski unit. Yeah. That's the first time I went to see one of my home boys, he got life. And I went and seen him, this was years ago. And my first time ever going back was to the same unit with Brewster. The only two times I had ever been to a prison was boom.  I'm talking about went through hell, didn't care, was about to get himself in. What did you say? We hugged for about 20 minutes. Oh man, that's beautiful. Boss man Brewster is demanded here, man. You know what I'm saying? I'm alone for the ride. So the first time, that was the very first prison. I took him to several, since then. But the very first prison that we went to, we was in the car and he was like, where we going? I said, we gonna go to Pulaski unit, man. I'ma take you over to her. He said, Pulaski, he said, you for real? I said, yo, what's up? He said, man, the first time I ever visited somebody in prison was at this unit, Pulaski unit. I said, oh yeah, bad. So when I took him in there, you know, as a matter of fact, when he saw his partner, we had pretty much wrapped up everything we was doing.  So when he turned around, you know, we was finna keep everybody walking. He was finna get your case. He was finna go lock up cause he was the turn. He was on some man.  You know what I'm saying? That's what he was on. When we turn around, I'm like, what's up, Kiki? Kiki like, oh, nah, that's bro. I'm looking at Kiki, looking at him. Man, he hugged Kiki for about 20 minutes. Damn. Man, he hugged Kiki when Kiki go. Cause he had a real connection. Yeah, that's Kiki's partner for real. They grew up together. Kiki, you know what I'm saying? Now I didn't know when we got to the unit, we didn't know that the dude was her. When Kiki saw him, it was a wrap. Kiki was just like, damn. They were both stuck in a, you know, in a trance looking at each other. He hugged him for a good 20 minutes, man. Wow. I just, man, and when you took him in there on the film that I seen, the warden, the guards, all of them was embracing you guys in a way of respect, you know? And really showing that they wanted to let these guys who wanted to pay part in seeing you guys and coming out and supporting what you're doing, they really seemed like they was into it, you know? Man, let me make sure we send a big, big shout out to the rehabilitation program. Division in the state of Texas, what they're doing with the penal system is hands down, unbelievable. Something that's unprecedented, something that's never taken place. Yeah, we have to give them a very big shout out. They are really implementing real programs to assist individuals like myself to becoming better people. Now, keep in mind, this ain't the Hilton Hotel. It is prison.  This all about you or about self. The opportunity is there. Now, what you do with the opportunity, that's on you, bro. Wow, and just, you gotta think, man, a lot of those guys are lifers. A lot of them got double life sentences. Never come home, you know? And the only thing, the only glimmer of hope they see is in you guys when you go in there. And I think that's something people don't think about a lot, you know what I mean? That some of those guys stand, you know, they may not be trying to change to come home. They're just changing just because they need to change. And that'd be really my message when I'm dealing with lifers, individuals that got a significant amount of time. It's not even really about whether you are, whether you're free or locked up as much as it's about the man you are. The man you becoming, your legacy. If it's all said and done, what you wanna leave behind?  May that be affect somebody else's life. May that be helping somebody else do something.  Man, I was gonna ask about the Dak Prescott, while I was in prison. But before you get onto that, I'm still in prison, but I read an article once and tell me if this, how can an inmate get to be able to do this if this is true because I started an article.  This person actually got a doctor degree as in like medical doctor. Do they? I don't hear that a lot though. Right, so Pete, you were some of the smartest men in the world are incarcerated. Some of the most skillful, talented individuals are incarcerated. So him being able to get that degree. That medical degree. Yeah, I'm not surprised by that at all. I know scholars that are incarcerated. I'm talking about professional professors and, you know, some of the best hidden talent potential we have are with men and women that are incarcerated behind the walls. Okay, but they said that he got it, but my next thought is, okay, so now when he gets out of prison, and yes, you are a licensed doctor, you can do surgery, whatever. How hard would it be for that person with that record to come out and start his own practice and actually start, you know, moving forward? So I'm not familiar with the medical industry in that field to be able to speak on it, but I would like to believe that if you are licensed and you're able to build a platform and get you some clients going, you're good to go. It's like cutting her.   Yeah, Dak, that's my boy. I got major love for Dak Prescott. Big shout out to my boy, Dak.  So I work with a guy named Damon West. Okay. And Damon and Dak, they pretty cool.  We want you to give him a tour. And I kinda laughed it off. I'm like, man, Dak ain't coming to no, you know, penitentiary, this is the, we talking about the quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys. They like, yeah. So we get the Dak pulled up, blew my mind, got out the car, I'm like, damn, that's Dak. I was like, I went over, hollet, what's up, bro? He was like, what's up?  He was like, yeah. I had a whole nother fine respect for him at that moment. Of course. The fact that the man stopped what he was doing. Man, bro, ain't gotta come away. And we ain't like in Dallas. We way in Huntsville. That's two hours away. Bro came out there, went into the prison, toured the facility, came into the chapel. He spoke, he kicked it with the homers. I'm talking about, I mess with Dak. Wow. And I know that they had to love that, bro. Cause there's people in the free world that's not even getting to see Dak. The evening, the evening was right here in Sparrow. The unit, the unit. At this point, the unit went into a uproar. And the guards. What everybody went crazy, said, I told Dak. I said, listen to them Dallas Cowboys, man. They love them. That's a serious situation in the penal institution in Texas. That's real. Listen to them in the state of Texas in that prison system.

Yeah, we gon' talk.


Soon as strike! Another week, another 16-bit one-on-one fighting game, although this one is at least something a little bit different. Yeah, the temptation is to lump every fighting game into one of two categories, one being a novelty fighter like Primal Rage or Clay Fighter, and I would even throw Mortal Kombat in there as well, and the other category is Street Fighter II and All It's Clones, ranging from stuff like World Heroes in Ninja Turtles Fighting Edition all the way down to crap like Street Combat and Power Moves. But thankfully, Battle Tycoon Flash Hider's SFX, which was only released in Japan for the Super Famicom, adds a lot of wrinkles to the traditional game format, like an experience system you'd normally see in an RPG, as well as a gambling minigame. This is actually a sequel to a PC Engine CD game, simply called Flash Hider's, released in 1993, and it's made by the same development team called Right Stuff. Man, you know this game has got to be hanging tough with a name like that. They took it step by step, and, uh, yeah, that's all the new kids on the block songs I know, but this is the only game they made for the Super Famicom, and they did not half-ass it. The visuals are great, the sound design is fantastic, and the combat is solid with consistent hit detection and reliable controls. I mean, it's definitely a step above the generic thrown-together crap we got a lot of in the U.S., so from a pure combat standpoint, this game works well. For game modes, you've got your regular one-on-one fighting versus the computer or a second player, but then you've got what's called advance mode, and that's where this game stands out big time. Once you select your fighter from 10 playable characters, you're taken to a map where you can select a few different locations. There's the arena, there's a shop where you can buy items and gear, and there's kind of a back area where you fight to earn money and experience. The whole idea here is to build your character up from scratch, upgrading your gear and building up your skill level, and eventually earning your way into the fighting arena. You'll notice that before each fight there's a point allocation system, so you can set your character however you'd like, but with more experience comes more points. In addition to that, there's a day-night cycle in effect. The game gives you nine days to build up your character with enough money and experience so you can fight the final boss in the arena, so yeah, there is a lot going on here, considering this comes across as just a regular old fighting game. You've probably noticed the text here is all in Japanese, and yeah, unfortunately there is no English patch for this game, at least not yet, but it's not that hard to figure out how to make your way around. If you ever run into an issue, there's a fantastic guide on Game Facts, written by RUZARV way back in 2001, and it tells you absolutely everything you need to know when it comes to navigating your way through menus and such. It definitely comes in handy when you're looking for which items you want in the shop. And it also comes in handy with the third aspect of the gameplay here, gambling. Yup, that's right, you get to gamble on fighters where the computer fights itself. I really appreciate this because it can be tough to grind your way through to get better equipment, but this can help you skip ahead. The rules are pretty self-explanatory. For example, if the menu reads X02 for the next battle, and you bet 1,000 gold, you win 2,000 if the fighter you chose wins.    Now, I can only speak for my own experience, but that didn't really seem to be the case. And if anything, I won maybe like 60% of the time, whereas I was expecting to lose a lot. So yeah, if you get sick of grinding with the normal fighting, you can always bet on fights here, win money, and buy better gear that way.  All in all, they're all pretty well balanced, and easy enough to get the hang of. It's the usual controls here, Y and B are weak attacks while X and A are strong attacks, with the added bonus of using the shoulder buttons to dash left or right. Each fighter has at least five or six special moves with one super, and of course, the super is like nine inputs you have to put in the span of one second. But most of the other moves are about what you'd expect.  Just as an aside, what I really like is that in advance mode, each character has their own gear unique to them. So if you pick Otto, for example, you get everything from iron claws to gatling arms to laser cannons and stuff, whereas if you pick Cal-Narsa, you get a stun rod, a plasma coil, it's really cool. I should point out, if you're wondering what all those extra meters are on the screen, they stand for attack, guard, and speed in that order, the same as your point allocation that I mentioned earlier. If you take damage, your attack meter will go down, but if you're able to back off while holding X and Y at the same time, you'll be able to replenish a little bit at a time. The guard meter decreases the more you block, and if that runs out, you'll be dazed for a while, and the speed meter works the same way as the attack meter, only you have to hold A or B to do a taunt, and that meter will eventually allow you to jump higher and move a bit faster. So yeah, Battle Tycoon, Flash Hider's SFX is a bit of a goofy name, but it is an ambitious game, especially for a fighting game, made in 1995 for Super Famicom. This one's been on my radar for a while, but by the time I came around to making this video, I saw Retro Drew had already beaten me to it just last week, so go check out his video as well. This game is definitely worth checking out, though, especially if you're into fighting games. There's a lot you can do in this game that I didn't even cover because it would be too long to describe in detail, like using your Advance Mode character in Versus Mode, or fighting against someone else's created character in Advance Mode. There's a ton of cool stuff here, just check out the fact I listed in the description. And as always, since this game wasn't re-released or remade, this is another game that you've gotta play any way you can. Alright, I want to thank you for watching, and I hope you have a great rest of your day!


We have a quick interruption as a reminder that this video is brought to you by Brandman Network.com, a space for artists to develop their brand and build out their marketing infrastructure with ongoing mentorship to actually grow their fan base. And if you're specifically interested in TikTok consultation and guidance, then you can check out brandmannetwork.com slash TikTok. Let's get back into it. Wow, what's up everybody? Once again is Brandman Sean and I am back with Trey Little. You guys might remember Trey Little as the artist who went from zero to 100k followers on TikTok in one month. And I did him as my very first interview with an artist as a part of the How to Get Famous on TikTok series that I have, right? And he's had a lot of interesting things that he's happened not only in that interview but since then because that interview has seemingly been so long ago because so much can happen in one week on TikTok, let alone three and four weeks. So about a month later from that first time we talk, he has some other things that we can talk about. I'll just update on your life in general when I let you kind of share what that's been like on TikTok. But then also we're talking about how to get paid on TikTok because Trey is already getting paid on TikTok. I want you guys to get an idea of what that experience is like, how you can possibly look to monetize TikTok and just how big and easy the opportunity might be in comparison and comparison to other platforms. So hey, without further ado, we're back Trey. I appreciate you hopping on again. Sure man. Hey man, tell me man, give me an idea. We were already talking about this before a little bit, but how has your life changed? What has it been like? You touched on being recognized more than usual and things like that. What's it been like? So the crazy thing is when I go places now, I feel like I'm almost expecting or looking for some high schooler or middle schooler to notice me from TikTok and then their parents to be like, wait, you know this guy? You know what went for me? Having the little amount of recognition that I have from year after year after year of touring and playing so many shows, TikTok is almost like put me in front of people's phones every day because of the page called the For You page, which is TikTok's Discover page. So everywhere I go now in public, like if I see a high schooler or a middle schooler, they're almost like, and then I stand out because of my hair, because of what I wear. They're like, oh, I've seen you on the For You page before. So that's been like one of the biggest things, actually having people recognize me and then when I go do events now, like if I play a built-in crowd with like two to 400 people or whatever, a lot of people will be like, okay, who's this guy? Like hurry up and try to impress us. But now it's like, oh my gosh, we've seen this guy before. Like the last event I did, it was like 400 kids, like middle schoolers. And when I stepped on stage, people were like, oh, that's the guy from TikTok. That's the guy from TikTok. And for me, it kind of caught me off guard because I was like, oh my gosh, man, this platform has really impacted my career on a practical level. So, yeah, man, I love what you said in terms of the career impacting you on a practical level. I mean, even from the standpoint of it sounds like it's making shows easier. Because when you think about the fact that, look, like when you don't have to introduce yourself, right, people already recognize you and you don't have to get over that hump of who is this guy. And there's somebody, even if I don't know who you are and there's other people like, yo, this person is here and you see other people shocked and happy to see you, that's going to make me more receptive to understanding like, yo, maybe this is somebody I need to get to know. So it's cool to see that you keep having these encounters because I remember seeing some of your videos as well, like our IG, like running into like fans and stuff like that. Yeah, yeah, it's cool to see the rise. Yeah, sweet man. Thank you. So tell me about the money. Let's get to that part, right? I think you were on for how long before you made money? So I think once you hit like your first thousand followers, that's when you can actually go live and monetize. So before I really made anything, I think it was like a month or something like that. So it was a month of me being on before people actually was able to start like really donating. And because like the first thousand followers, they're not really going to donate that much, you know what I mean? Because there's not enough people. But once I think I hit like 20K or something like that, the donation's like picked up, you know? What is that like? What do you do to get donations? So what I try to do is I try not to monetize like right away. I try to do things that are organic and stuff like that to make people want to give, but I'll go live. And I'll like basically start talking on live and just start like telling my story or one of the most impactful things that I've seen is when I start playing my music like live in a studio or if I'm making music and I set up my phone and go live. And I just start freestyling or something like that. Like people love those kind of videos when they get to see you in action and recording where they get to see you actually rapping live and they get to see it. They get to see it like for themselves and it's like happening in real time, you know, so that's what make people want to donate to whether you like dance or you talk or even if I'm down like motivational like, yo, man, let me tell you my story and encourage people and ask me questions. And then or sometimes I'll put it in the caption like send gifts, you know, like when you go live, you can kind of put the title of the video and I'll do like a quotation, saying gifts or something like that. And then people just start donating these little coins and then the coins translate to actual money. Man, I mean, the beauty of what you just said, right? That's so much we can unpack from that. But just the behind the scenes part and you're getting paid to show people behind the scenes of your music. Yeah, we already talk about that from a branding standpoint and what that can do. But in the same way, we might say, hey, you need to get some subscribers and an email list and all these things so that you can monetize and show this package or do a Patreon or any of these things. You are essentially able to do that by just going live, right? And once you go live, you're telling me that they're interested and appreciate you being in the studio and just doing that stuff enough that they're they're donated. So that's that's cool, bro. What was that even like when you first realized that went through that? So the cool thing it was like seeing that people start donating and one of the most exciting things for me is like when people donate like some of the biggest prizes. So some of the biggest prizes goes up. So whenever people donate like the you are rich or something like that, you are very rich. I think it's like $20 or something like that or $10. And I've seen that before. I thought that was just like a weird spammer saying something like that in the comments. Yeah.  But once they donate like the big ones, it does something cool on the screen. So like if they do concert, there's these little characters that roll across the screen with the tires and start playing. And then a whole screen start lighting up and it makes you feel kind of like, whoa, this is pretty dope, you know? So it's like the feeling, man, because it's like me being a full time artist, man, like year after year, it's like I have to sell merch. I have to do shows and the pressure is on, you know what I mean? So like anytime I can get any extra donation, like it makes me feel really like encouraged, like, OK, this is working because it's scary. You know what I mean? When you step out and you got bills to pay, especially me having a family, like it's like, OK, I have to make sure I'm being strategic and meeting my deadline of X amount of dollars I need to make. So TikTok is starting to finally convert into like, OK, if I need to make X amount of dollars per month to pay rent or whatever, like it goes towards it, you know what I mean? It's like big chunks that I can actually put towards it that I don't have to go out and do somewhere else. Like, you know what I mean? Like driving Uber or something like that, like it helps I can stay at my house and like do what I love to do, you know? Dope, man, especially when you think about it as with that replacement of income where you were talking about extra money on the side and stuff like that, I hadn't even thought about it like that yet. But the first check back when you sent me, right? Money, right, or showing me like how much you had made was $50. Right. What was what was it like when you when you see people are paying? Right, because this is interesting. It sounds very similar to Twitch and how the things pop up. I haven't even experienced that part because I don't get on people's lives just yet. I haven't had the time.  Like, were you nervous when it came to asking for donations? Initially, what was that? What did I feel like? I was nervous at first because I realized that some people actually have money like saved up on their account just to like give to some people that they want to support, especially when I start telling a story of like why I do what I do.  And this is what I do. This is how I pay the bills. Like and I don't ask for anything. I'm just like telling my story. Like this is this is how long I've been doing it. People want to feel like they're supporting you. So like I have one person who consistently donates, like, you know, like one of my followers Madeline, like she always jumps on my life and she's just like, donate, donate, donate, donate, donate. And there's like all these coins. And I'm like, man, why do you donate so much? And she's just like, I really believe in what you do. And I just want to be like, I'm glad I get to be a part of it by donating. She's from Sweden. She literally lives in Sweden. You know what I mean? You got a super fan, a legit super fan. Yeah. And the thing is like, once you make that connection with the people, they feel inclined to donate.  So when people donate coins, it can be like five dollars. And then because TikTok take half, it can go down the two. So when you see people donating a lot and then they do those big donations, that's when they start converting. Like, like I think I got on live a couple more times and hit like seventy five dollars. And it like jumped up from fifty to like seventy five just by going live, like another once or twice. And then one of the best things is like when I get a video that really starts trending like my video that hit a million and one point seven million views. My followers literally just started going crazy, right? That's when I went from fifty thousand followers to a hundred thousand. They literally just one viral video.  And then when I finished up the live video, it was like they said it was fifty four hundred people in that live. It was over five thousand people total and me being alive in a span of like three hours. And I was just like, this is crazy. So I think the more that like you get like a video that's gone viral. And once you see it going viral, you jump on live. And then people just start donating because you have so many more people in front of you. And once you start telling your story, that's when it just, you know. Interesting, man. And I think it's important to know I've said this in one of my first TikTok tutorial videos, but yeah, TikTok does take half, right? It's fifty percent. But I don't know. I want to get your opinion as the artist, because I know so many people when it comes to so many things that people do in the industry, whether it's a manager or whatever company, the percentage, the percentage of giving, you know, splitting that percentage with anybody you want to own everything. What is your perception of this? So you think about this the same or is this more? It's like, yo, this is dope that I can even make this. Yeah, because one of the biggest things is like, I know I wouldn't be making that money either way. Like if it wasn't for TikTok providing a platform, it's like like a lot of times, yeah, half of it seems like a big cut. But when you think about I wouldn't be making this either way. That's when it gets better, you know what I mean? So it's like, yeah, I can make a hundred dollars from going live. And they might have took a hundred from that. But that's another hundred dollars that I get to make just from sitting in my house telling my story, you know? And that happened in a month's time, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a huge echo where you're at right now. I'm not bad, I'm bad. I'm not bad, man. Let me move because I was trying to go somewhere quiet. But it's their rebirth. All right, can you hear me better now or is it still? I'm about to say. All right, let me see. Let me go somewhere else. My bad, I didn't have those, my air pods went out, so. Yeah, I got you. Yeah, that's better. I'll say something again. OK, check, do you hear me? Yeah, it's not as bad as the place you just left. It's a little bit, but not as bad. OK, you know what? Let me go outside, I'm a bad one. All right. All right, let me just step out here. All right. All right, say something. All right, what's good, do you hear me? Yeah. Let me see what we just talked about. All right, cool. So obviously, money is a real thing on this platform. There's been a lot of interesting opportunities as far as how it's actually converted over into real life. Have you gotten to a point where you've pushed it over to streams and work to do that yet? OK, that's another big thing that's really helped a lot because what I've noticed is I've heard other people that I've followed on TikTok go online and they talk about, yo, my YouTube has went up in my Spotify, but my numbers really didn't peak when I hit like 20k. Like, I still was kind of going steady. But once I started getting a couple viral videos, things started to spike on other platforms. So for instance, I finally hit the requirement to monetize on YouTube. Once I monetize on YouTube, any video I basically monetize gets a certain amount of money coming in. And then on Spotify, I get paid for the streams. So because of going live on TikTok and then getting paid from the Spotify revenue and YouTube, it all kind of comes together. So I've seen all my other social media platforms like Spike and Numbers and my monthly listeners are going up on Spotify. So because of that, I'm able to make more money from YouTube ads, Spotify checks, and then through the live videos. So you're seeing it all around. I have to say this again and again. This has been the shocker for me since all the artists that I've been working with personally on TikTok, I haven't, I've yet to see a platform that's been this transferable to other platforms. It's like, you don't even have to work to bring people on other platforms and they'll go, let alone anything you do on top of that intentionally. So that's your experience? Yeah, it's pretty wild, man. Like, and like I said before, like coming from an artist who literally sent, you know, started rapping at age nine and then started really like touring professionally like five years ago, playing like massive like festivals, you know, featuring with headlining artists, you know, in front of 10,000 people, 20,000, 30,000 people. I've seen a lot of different things in the industry, a lot of groundwork and really trying to get like, whenever I get at it, like I played this event called Winter Jump and it was 10,000 people this year in Michigan. And like it's so hard because when I played it, it wasn't my set. So people wasn't there to see me. I featured on the headlining set. 10,000 people, but then they shouted me out and everything, but then I had to go on Instagram. I had to go through all the hashtags of hashtag Winter Jump and I had to comment on hundreds of people's posts. Hey, thanks for coming out tonight.  So that conversion was so low. So when I say I've been doing so much groundwork to like when I first started going out to schools or malls and past the CDs out, it's like I've never really seen anything convert as quick as like the TikTok is, you know what I mean? And it's like, I feel like it's a perfect platform right now why so early where if artists already have a catalog and they've already been doing a, you know what I mean? If they've already been doing a groundwork, this is just something to kind of help expose and elevate that to where like, it'll just help expose that versus like, cause for a minute I was kind of jaded like, man, I've been doing music all my life. Now this little app come on and it's like giving me everything that I wish I had. And I'm saying like 13 year olds, 14 year olds literally make a boom in music career out of this. And I'm like, I've been doing this all my life. But I'm like, you know what though, if I didn't have the catalog, if I didn't have all the tour vlogs on YouTube, if I didn't have all of the experience, now when I get booked to go do a show, TikTok goes hand in hand with all of the work I've been doing for like five plus years. You know, it kind of ties in together, you know? Yo man, that's, I really appreciate that perspective. I think that's gonna put things in perspective for a lot of artists in general cause that's, it's, it's real. You were prepared to take advantage of the opportunity. Yes, there are some other people who are blowing up, but the way you'll be able to flip it is different than a kid who just started popping off of that alone and didn't have any of that other stuff established, right? They have to go another way to continue to capitalize where all your infrastructure is now just elevating that once you have a whole tide that's rising. You know what I mean? That's so true. And that's the way I try to look at it, you know? Is there anything else, right? Just in this talk where since last time we've spoken where there's just been like something real interesting that's happened with the platform or something interesting you've noticed, right? As far as how to continue to be successful on a platform or I'll even leave it at this, right? Now that you're on another level, right? You've climbed some part of the mountain. Can you see something from up where you are that you didn't even understand at the beginning? Yeah, so one of the big things is like, like really instead of trying to, like you have to follow trends in a way but the thing is that set us apart is our unique story. So I did a video about, you know how I was born in the street wars of Detroit and like how my mom was a teenager when she had me and I was like my raw and honest self and like how I lost my dad at four. And then I talked about this is why I do music and why it's so impactful. And I did all that in the 15 second video and that video hit almost 2 million views.  So like that's like been a big thing. And I think the more followers you have the easier it is to grow. So like when I was at 1,000 followers if I got a video that hit 600 views if I got a video that hit 600 views I was like, oh man, this is awesome. But now I'm like man, I'm like, I'm trying to hit 10K minimum for each video I post. So it's like knowing that the more you grow, the faster you're gonna start growing. It's like you start projecting faster. So it might be hard. I see a lot of people getting on there and then they get on there for a week and they don't go viral and they get discouraged. Like you gotta be on there. It took me 300 and something videos to finally figure it out. But I've seen, I've helped other people get on there and they post one video, boom, instant fame like overnight. And that didn't happen with me. I don't feel like, I don't feel like I've been lucky ever in my life. So like that encouraged me to know that my process is the work until I make it process. And if people stay consistent and figure out what works like, you know what I mean? Like basically putting out as much content as you can and then you see what works. You know what I mean? And then whatever works you like double down on that. And that's been like what I've learned. Like the videos where I'm showing people Detroit, like I'll be like in Detroit. Yo, like I'm walking up to this abandoned house. This is what it looks like. And then people like, oh my gosh, like, thanks for taking us there, you know what I mean? Wow. Yeah, man. That's dope. And that perspective is humbling and it's dope to hear you say that and speak that way because there are a lot of people who don't blow up fast enough in their minds. And look, and a lot of people will say they don't wanna post five videos a day, six videos a day. I'm not saying you have to do any kind of number, but just understand no matter what you're doing. Right? Whether it's learning to play basketball, how to hit a ball with a baseball bat, how to be good at math or blow up on TikTok or YouTube, whatever. To figure it out, the more that you do, right? The better you're gonna get at it and the more you do in the short period of time, right? Six videos a day is gonna help you learn more than one video a day is or one video a week is. That's just the reality. Let alone the possibility, right? The numbers and at best, it might take to blow up. Just literally doing it more is going to help you get better at it faster. And you gotta understand how fast do you wanna learn and get good at it because there's a window of opportunity and do you wanna take advantage of that window or not? Like that's how I see it. Yeah. And you said to Ann, like, can you hear me good? Can I hear you? Okay, yeah. And to say that too, the big thing is I don't wanna get used to all of the attention that I've been getting because I know this thing could disappear quick and it can go back to what I'm used to. So like you said, while I have the opportunity, I'm trying to capitalize off of it as much as I can. To throw in another thing, I got SuperPhone, which helps convert some of my followers to get their phone number to be able to text them. I'm trying to get them to follow me on Instagram and I'm trying to really collect and connect with them as much as I can to where they're gonna be, I'm trying to cast my net as much as I can to where if TikTok disappeared tomorrow, I've gained something from it. You know what I mean? So, because it can disappear tomorrow and like I'm trying to get prepared for that, you know what I mean? Just in case that happened. Hey, I love to hear you man, spoken like somebody who's been doing this for a minute and understands the value of the opportunity versus, you know, somebody who just started popping and they literally just started rapping yesterday. So, I see it man, I already see the grind and I appreciate the grind that you've been on for so long and thanks for doing this video again and having another talk. Y'all make sure y'all follow Trey Little. It will be in the description below. It'll be on the video itself, T-R-A-Y Little. Of course at Brain Man, Sean, as always, this video is brought to you by Brain Man Network.com. If you like this video, go ahead and like button.
