What is up everybody, welcome back to the channel. Another YouTube deposit, man. God bless YouTube, shot to YouTube.  Like this right here is super, super powerful, you guys. This, again, man, I'm humbled by it, man. I don't take this lightly because I just know how much of an extra income. Okay, now keep that word in mind. The word here, the power keyword, the quote unquote word I just mentioned was extra, okay? Any extra income, man, is a blessing. That's the way I look at it.  Millions of you guys right now don't even have a full-time job anymore, right?  So my heart goes out to every single one of you that are struggling for that next dollar right now.  The struggle is real.  And anything extra right now financially can go a long way, right? And so I have just kind of had the foresight of, and to tell you the truth, it wasn't even, I'm gonna keep it real. When it comes to YouTube, it wasn't that I had a foresight, but I've always had a foresight in multiple streams of income. I always knew the power of residual income, passive income, being able to do something once and get paid for it over and over and over and over again. That form of reoccurring income, I learned that 2021 years ago. I learned the power of that 2021 years ago. And so today, where we're at now with social media, specifically YouTube, being able to create some type of extra income, being able to create some type of form of passive income on YouTube blows my mind. Now, is it an overnight thing? Hell no. Is anything an overnight thing? Hell no. I don't care what you're investing in, man. Stocks, real estate, whatever. Any income vehicle out there that you can possibly build a residual income around is not an overnight thing. And so YouTube, for me, for sure hasn't been an overnight thing and it wasn't even my intention in the beginning to even make money from it. When I started my channel back in 2017, 20, yeah, 2017 really. You can look at my channel, you can go to the very first video. I think it was 2017. When I started the channel, it wasn't to start a channel.  It wasn't because I was planning on being a YouTuber at all, like far from it. In fact, today I'm not even a YouTuber, like at all. Like that's not at all. But when I started it in 2017, it was mainly to park my video content. It really, that's all it was. That's all it was. It was just the fact that I started getting comfortable with video and just simply pulling out my phone and doing selfie style video. And at that time is when I started my social media agency. So I started getting clients. I stuck to one niche. Still to this day, I'm building my agency. I focus on one niche. That's the real estate niche. And I chose, actually, I don't even think I chose that niche. I kind of fell into that niche just because of my previous background. I was a mortgage guy. So I was a lender, I was a loan originator. I was doing mortgages for six years prior to that year, which was 2016, 2017. So from 2010 to 2016, I was doing mortgages. So I was already in the industry, mortgages, real estate. I was already in the industry for many, many years, right? 2010 to 2016. So I kind of stumbled into helping real estate professionals with their social media marketing in 2016 into 2017. Because I had this background in marketing. That all started in 1999, but I had this background. I had this passion for the industry of real estate and investing in things of that nature. So I'm like, man, let me see if I can bring my marketing, my mortgage. Let me see if I can bring all that into now helping real estate agents with their social media marketing. And let me see if I can leverage my knowledge and expertise with that. And that started in 2016, 2017. And as I started getting clients and as I started building my agency and reaching out to people on social media, and I kind of found my way. I found my niche. I found somewhat success. And what I called success back then and what I still call it to this day is the marketing side of it all. Being able to market, being able to reach out to someone and get them on the phone. So if you're in the client services business leads for you to market and actually capture leads, that is a success. Like, because not everyone can even capture leads. So for me back in 2016, 2017, I found my little way. And I'm like, hey, man, I can, I started direct messaging, right? I started direct messaging people on social media and getting appointments out of it. And then before you knew it, I got really good at it. Really, really good at it. 2017, 2018 into 2019, I got really, really good at getting people through the DM and scheduling an appointment to get them on the phone. And it wasn't the phone, it was actually Zoom. So just like this, and still to this day, that's how I do all my presentations. Not one deal, when it comes to my agency, not one client, not one deal has came from me sending a direct message and asking for their phone number. Not one, and I've closed hundreds. You can go to my playlist on how I'm building my social media agency. In fact, I'll put that playlist in the description. I have tons of videos, man, a year ago, two years ago, three years ago. I have a ton of videos of me just documenting. And to this day, I've closed literally hundreds and hundreds of clients. Direct message, not asking for their phone number, getting them on Zoom, screen sharing like this and doing business, right? So I have a ton of videos on that, you guys. But my point is, is that when I started this channel in 2017, it was simply on my cell phone doing ghetto ass videos. And still to this day, this video is ghetto.    I don't even know how to do none of that crap, man.  Building an agency, closing clients, blah, blah, blah. Right? And in 2017, it was just to park my content. I could have took that same video and put it on Facebook. I could have put that same video on LinkedIn.  It's like, dude, I could have easily put my content there. But for some reason, I started putting these videos on YouTube and that was in 2017. Random videos here and there, right? Sticking on one topic, online entrepreneurship, digital agency, social media marketing. And at that time, I started learning Facebook ads. So I was documenting that, right? And all it was that it was documentation. It was documenting the fact that I was doing something, the fact that I was in the trenches and that's kind of what I wanted to show and that's still what I wanna show. I wanna show me in the trenches and just the nitty gritty. Nothing fancy about it, right? Pull the curtains back and what does it really look like? That's what I still do to this day. That's why there ain't no fancy editing.   And so back then it was the same thing on my cell phone. Same thing, uploading videos here and there maybe one a week, maybe a couple every couple of weeks, like random, right, random. That was 2017, 2018. Into 2019, I'm starting to see my subscribers grow. Like I'm going from a couple hundred subscribers to a few hundred subscribers into 2019.  Maybe there are a few people out there that are actually seeing what I'm seeing. And I already knew the industry. I already knew landing pages, sales funnels, online marketing, I already knew that was big because Russell Brunson and those gurus prior to me lit the whole damn industry on fire. So I knew that that was a topic for people to be, to be searching, sales funnels, landing pages, click funnels, right? Because a few years prior to that, that's when click funnels blew up, right? And so as I'm coming in, I'm like, dude, okay. Although I might not be a click funnel user, and then I ended up coming across Cartura in 2018, I just started talking about that. And I started talking about how I'm building funnels. And this was 2018 into 2019 and just doing, and starting to do screen shares and now starting to do tutorials and just teaching people what I'm freaking doing. Nothing fancy, man. Day in the life is what I would call it. Rance of an entrepreneur is what one of my playlists, you know, is labeled under. And so it wasn't until 2019 when I really kind of somewhat got the hang of it. I purchased a little random online course from one of my mentors back then. Little inexpensive course on how he built his YouTube channel. He had 60,000 subscribers. He was at about 7,000 a month in residual income from YouTube. And I'm like, damn, dude. And I've came across, and we've all come across channels that have 100,000, 300,000 subscribers, a million subscribers. My little boy, dude, 12 years old, all those gamers that are at 3,000 subscribers are 3 million subscribers. So it's like we all see these big channels, right? But when I'm looking at, but when I was looking at my mentor back then, which was 2019, he only had, at that time, he had, you know what to tell you the truth? At that time, he had, I think he had about, I think he had about 40,000 subscribers. And he was showing his actual income of YouTube and he was at about 7,000, 8,000 a month. And I was like, that's kind of crazy. And then I purchased this little course from him. And it's an old course, so you guys don't even need to worry about it. In fact, I'm gonna tie a video at the end of this one. So stay to the end of this video. You're gonna see a video come up of me walking Deborah through how I upload my videos, the tags, the description, the end screen, the freaking card. I had that video come up at the end. That's what I ended up learning from this very, you know, inexpensive course that I purchased in 2019. It was that stuff. So it wasn't until maybe the mid of 2019 when I started doing that. So 2017, 2018 into the beginning of 2019, I had no idea about any of that. Tags, description, thumbnail, freaking consistency and putting up a video every week. Like I didn't know none of that 2017, 2018 beginning to middle of 2019. In middle of 2019 is when I got this course and I started learning these basics is what I call them. They're basics, man. Basics, watch the video at the end of this one. The setup is basic, but it was also the fact that I was inconsistent. So it was at that moment when I started learning all this stuff, when I'm like, dude, and what he was teaching and what he was actually showing from experience, he was like at 40, 50,000 subscribers at that point.  I think now he's like at 60,000. So it's not that crazy high, but it is high obviously, but it's not like he's in the hundreds of thousands. But again, it was his income that blew my mind. I'm like, wait a minute, dude. So you're telling me and so what he taught is he was saying how he only uploaded one to two times a week and that was it. And I'm like, dude, wait a minute. So you're at that many subscribers. You have a $7,000 a month passive income from YouTube AdSense. And you did it one to two times a week.  Okay, so if you did that, what would happen if I did one a day? Like what would happen if I uploaded one video per day? Okay, now again, not everyone has that kind of time. I get it. This is not exactly a one minute job. Like this is time consuming as well. But again, when you turn it into documentation, it doesn't take that much time. It's like, dude, this is stuff I'm already doing. That's what my whole channel was based on is stuff that I'm already doing.  If you're building a business, start talking about that and putting that content on YouTube, because as I started really stepping it up and I'm like, okay, dude, if this guy did a couple of videos per week and he got to that number, I'm gonna go on an experiment myself and I'm gonna try to put one up every day. And so it wasn't until, so let me back up a little bit until I go into what I started doing. It was in, let's just say, September, October, when I started doing a couple of week, right? And then I got my first deposit, which I'm gonna show you. I got my first YouTube deposit.  And I got a YouTube playlist here. So you go into my YouTube ad money playlist. I documented every video from the first deposit that I got, okay? Every month, every 21st of the month, I'm dropping this video. This is the new 21st of the month. Now you guys might be watching this at a different time of the day, different time of the month, but this is all about the 21st, this damn deposit. So it was in, it was in September, October, when I started really paying attention and doing what this guy was telling me to do, right? And then I started seeing my subscribers increase even more. Then I hit the 1,000 subscribers. I hit the 4,000 watch hours, which are your requirements. You have to have 1,000 subscribers. You have to have 4,000 watch hours to become monetized. That happened for me in September of 2019, okay? So into October, into November is when I got my first deposit. So November 21st is when I got my first YouTube deposit and it was a few hundred bucks.  Now keep in mind, it was only a few hundred. I have a video on that. It was only a few hundred. And most people would be like, what the hell?  Yes, that fired me up. Because when that deposit hit, I didn't see 300 bucks. I saw 30,000. I saw passive income. I saw residual income. That's what I saw. And I'm like, wait a minute. So you're telling me that these guys are now paying me on videos I did a year ago? And now that I have the little formula down, if I keep doing this, that income can keep growing and that's a form of passive income, I'm like, shit, I'm all in. And so it was in December of 2019, when I said, okay, what I just learned from this mentor, he was doing a couple of weeks. What will happen if I do one per day? It was in December of 2019 when I dropped a video every day. And then after that, I ended up coming across another mentor and she was like, and she was at more subscribers. I think she was like at 70,000 subscribers. And she said that what really helped her is that she uploaded one every day for 90 days. And this was after I already did my 30 day blitz. My 30 day blitz was in December of 2019. I come across her information and she's like, I did one for 90 days.  I was only gonna do 30 days, right? December, 2019. But then when I saw her, I'm like, dude, okay, it's on, game time. I'll take that challenge. So then I ended up going another 90 days. So now I went January, February, March, and I put up a video every day. In January, I missed a couple of days because I wasn't really planning on doing it every day at all until I came across her video, which was probably like maybe, I don't know, maybe week two of January, 2020.  From this day on, I'm gonna put up one every day. And so I finished January by putting up one every day for sure. Into February, every day. March, every day. April, every day, okay?  It was at the end of March when I finished that. And then my subscribers really started to increase. I went from 1,000 to 1,200 to 1,500 to 1,600 to freaking today, right, 2,000, a little over 2,000, right? Let me refresh this. Into April of 2020, I hit the 2,000 subs. So shout out to every single one of you, man.  You have no idea how much I appreciate you. I freaking pray for you. I literally pray for you guys every single day, man.  I literally pray for these 2,000 people, 82, every day, man, because I don't take this lightly. I appreciate you. For you to smash the subscribe button, that means a lot to me, man, I know how that is.  I don't just smash subscribe on everybody at all, right? If they have stuff I'm interested in talking about, okay, I'll subscribe. But at the same time, I try to keep my attention very, very narrow and very focused. So I'm not subscribing to everybody either. So shout out to every single one of you who actually subscribe. You're for sure my prayers. But that started happening. I broke the 2,000 mark in April of 2020. And I'm like, damn, dude, maybe what I have been doing is working. Not only are people obviously feeling what I'm doing, but because of my consistency in the uploading. Now I'm not saying you need a post every day. That wasn't really, most don't even do that. But I'm just on a mission. I'm just a different character. I'm like, okay, if you guys did that and you see, you've seen success, what if I take it up a few notches? What will happen then? That's just how I am. That's how I look at everything, right? If we're, and that's how I'm teaching my little boy. 12 years old, he boxes, he's into football. He's into basketball. He's freaking, he reads books like the kid is a straight A student. I tell him all the time, like what I brainwash him with, I'm like, dude, if you see people that are reading a book for one hour, I need you reading it for three. If your friends at boxing practice are practicing for one hour, I need you practicing for three, right? Like I'm just instilling this mindset where it's like, dude, that right there is what the, it gets you average. Like the average player is right there. I need you to be a little above average. And the only way we're gonna be a little above average is if we do a little bit more. That's it. That's the only secret to success, man. If you're reading a book every month, I'm gonna read one every week. That's it, dude. That's the only secret. If you're practicing in the gym for one hour, I'm gonna be like Kobe Bryant and I'm gonna practice for freaking eight. That's the only difference, man, between those who are successful and those who aren't. It's those little slight edge, daily principles, those daily activities that get people ahead. That's it, man. So I'm like, dude, I brought the same mindset into YouTube. Like dude, if these characters are doing it for freaking one a cup, one or two a week, I'm gonna do it every day. And so at the end of March, when I finished that 90 day blips, I went from December every day to January for every March every day. I'm like, dude, screw it.  So then I ended up going all of April and that's where we're at right now. I completed a video every day for all of April, April and I'm gonna go every freaking day for the rest of the year because again, in my case, this isn't just a part-time thing for me anymore. This is literally what I do. I'm building my agency. I'm building my digital courses. I'm into affiliate marketing, which is not a ton of different products. I'll show you my affiliate product. It's just random. It's cartridge.  And then it's YouTube income. I'm telling you, man, you wanna keep it simple. You don't wanna be doing a million things at once, but find where you really, what jives you and what gets you going and start talking about that, man, and start documenting what you're doing. And so my whole mission in 2020 is to literally blow my channel up by uploading a video every single day. So this hasn't been an overnight thing.   You know that these people have pull when it comes to brand deals, partnership deals and monetizing their influence, right? So whether you're that type of person or not, I'm here to tell you right now, man. Thank God I started putting this content on YouTube in 2017 and not on these 50 other platforms like Gary Vaynerchuk always talks about. Shout out to Gary Vee, but it's like shit, man. You want us posting 50 million times on 50 million platforms when those 50 million platforms ain't paying me shit, right? Unless you're an influencer and now you're at 500,000 followers on Instagram, okay, maybe you might be getting some brand deals at this point, but what about in between? What about from 10,000 followers to 50,000 followers where you getting any money, right? So again, this content I could have put anywhere. Thank God I put it on YouTube because now every 21st of the month is freaking Christmas. Every 21st of the month I get this email, okay? Check your recent payment. We sent a payment for your AdSense. This is a deposit you guys that is coming in every month and it just started, right? So again, I give you the backstory. I give you my just context around where I'm coming from to now show you the basic numbers, okay? This money started coming in in November of 2019, okay? So had I been more consistent in 2017, had I known what the hell I was doing in 2017, 2018 into 2019, this income would have been double, okay? But I don't cry over spilt milk. I'm looking at everything forward. From this point on, it's freaking game time. If these folks are gonna start paying me every month, why in the hell would I not turn up, right? Why would I not turn up? And so thank God I'm turning up. Thank God we have this opportunity. And that's what I'm saying as I mentioned in the beginning for millions and millions and millions of you out there that don't have a job today for millions of people that don't have their business open to date. I'm telling you right now, you still have that message. You still have that same pitch. You still have that knowledge, that passion, that expertise.  They need to come here. They need to come on YouTube, man, because I truly believe what I have created as far as this little income. Now it's not, we're not balling just yet, right? But I'm seeing already a comma. I'm gonna start seeing a comma. I'm already visualizing a comma. I'm already visualizing six figures a year. And again, even if it's not my full-time hustle, which it really isn't, I'm just documenting my full-time hustle. My full-time hustle is clients and agency and digital courses and that. All I'm doing here with YouTube is documenting that. That's all I'm doing, man. But at the same time, that knowledge is what most people can benefit as well from. And that's why 2,000 people are here. So shout out to every single one of you. But again, the whole plan here now, had I known what I know today, that's what I'm telling you, I'm giving you my game right now. Had I known in 2017, 2018, that it's gonna take the tags, the description, the end card, the card, the end screen, the thumbnail, the consistency. Now if you're not posting every day like me, no big deal. But what you wanna do is you wanna post at least weekly. That is the key, is the consistency over everything else. Your tags, your description, the thumbnail, all that stuff plays a part as well. But it's the consistency. You have to stay consistent. So if I was consistent in 2017, 2018, the beginning and middle into 2019, this channel would be even way further. But it's all good. I know what it takes now because obviously you guys are finding me. And now I'm seeing the income, even though we're still at a small income, I still see the power in that growing and growing fast and growing into the six figures. And I don't care who you are, man. I don't care how much money you think you have. Six figures. Let's just call it 8,000 a month.  In fact, in America alone, an extra $500 a month will change. 95% of Americans would change their life financially. Just an extra 500 a month. That is a fact. So for those of you that are watching me in different countries, shout out to every single one of you. An extra 500 a month in the Philippines would have you living like a freaking king. An extra 500 a month in India would have you living like a freaking king. So it doesn't take that much money, man, when it comes to an extra income to change people's lives. That's why I'm on this rant. That's why I'm encouraging. That's why I'm convinced, because although it's not five grand a month in extra income just yet, a few extra 100, especially at times like this, will save most people's asses. And that's what I know for a fact. And that's what fires me up. I'm fired up because I know you guys can do the same thing. I know you guys can surpass my channel. I know you have way more knowledge than I do. I know that you have way more other stuff and better stuff to talk about than I do. I know you probably have an idea that can be exposed to an audience way bigger than what I'm going after, right? Which is the online entrepreneur. These cooking niches and health and wellness niches, these are big, big, big, big, big audiences, man. You guys, I mean, depending on what you're into, but at the same time, here's another fact. You don't need everyone. So you don't even need, you don't even necessarily need to be in a crazy boom in industry or niche. You could talk about freaking sewing. You could talk about freaking building Legos. You could talk about freaking knitting. You could talk about landscaping. You could talk about gardening.  You can literally be talking about anything and you will find your audience. And with that being said, you don't need everyone to like you at all. Again, man, at my small channel, I'm gonna show you the income on what's starting to increase from it. It all started getting that deposit in November of 2019. And after that, it just kept increasing, kept increasing, it's gonna continue to increase. And that's what fires me up.  Financially, it is game changing to the average family's household income. Extra income can go a long way, man. So here's what's going on now, okay? So again, shout out to every single one of you. This is an email that I get every 21st of the month and I've been getting it since November and it's like freaking Christmas to me, okay? So where we're at now is 2082, okay? I've put up a little over 450 videos.  Most of you are not gonna be consistent. When I say put up three videos a week, most of you will do that for about a couple of weeks. 99% of you will stop. That's just the fact and that's the way it is in everything.  Going to a gym, freaking school, freaking diets, whatever, like everything, 90% of people out of 10, nine out of 10, give up no matter what, right? So you have to be that 1%.  That should ain't simple. I mean, that ain't hard. Like I could do the same damn thing. That's why when I learned from the first mentor and he was teaching me, you know, how he got to 40, 50,000 subscribers, I'm like, dude, that ain't hard. Like I can do that for sure. In fact, I can do more than that.  And that was my whole mindset and that's the mission I've been on since December of 2019. Because again, man, this is my side hustle. This is my extra income, but I just see this income surpassing many other hustles that I could have started a long time ago, okay? Again, with this same content, most of you are spraying it everywhere. I'm just telling you in 2020, let's narrow it in, let's focus the attention and freaking park that content here because here's what the numbers are looking like, okay? So let me, let me click on analytics. Let's go to revenue and let's click on April. Right now we're in April, okay? And this is where it all started, okay? This is where it all started. It all started in November, getting that check for 312. In fact, I think actually note in October. In October, in October, I ended up getting, actually no, it was October and when the money was made and then in November is when I got that October money. So October, let me see if I can click see more because I wanna show you from that other angle, not from this angle, because this angle can get confusing. Let me go back. Let me see if I can see lifetime. So what happened in October was paid out in November, okay? Let me go back. Okay, let me see if I can show lifetime. Let's just, rather than go in April, let's go lifetime because this is gonna show me, okay, so it only goes back down to November, but whatever happened in October was paid out in November and that was 291. So I have a video of that. November, 2019, I'm doing a video and it's a 291 deposit, okay? In November, whatever you do in that month, it's paid out the following month. So December, 21st, 2019, I'm doing a video about the 312, okay? So that's how it works. What happens in November is paid out in December. So I know the way it looks right here. It looks like 312 was paid out in November, but no, 312, that's what happened in November and you're paid out the following month, okay? So in November, 312 was generated, I got paid that in December. In December, 335 was generated, I got paid that in January and so on and so on. So 413, 494. So in March, 569 was generated. That is this email over here. So this email that I'm getting in April, that was from the income, that was 569 deposited in my bank account in April, okay? What's happened so far in the month of April and we're not even done yet. We still got, and this 546, let me show you. Let's go back to April. So this right here, this is the daily incomes, right? These are the daily income. So again, man, I'm not lighting the world on fire, but at the same time, it's like shit, man, nor do I need to.   If you had 3,000 in extra income, passive residual income from videos you did a while back and now you're getting paid a monthly income on them, you're telling me an extra 3,000 a month, wouldn't change anyone's life? Like are you freaking kidding me? Like on top, right? I'm talking extra income, you guys.  Extra, the content that you're already spraying against the wall on social media, target here, okay? And again, what I've done in this period of time, I'm convinced that you can do it faster. I'm convinced that your message is probably way even better. That's what I'm convinced on. That's what this is all about, is that what I've done here, I know you guys can lap me in no time, okay? So if I look at April, so far, this isn't counting, we're at April 24th. So this is not counting the 23rd. So it's a day behind, right? So so far, we're at 546 and it hasn't counted yesterday. So let's count yesterday, so the 23rd, right? So I gotta count, so that 546 is not counting the 23rd, okay? So we got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Eight more days. So if we're averaging, let's just call it 25 bucks. Now again, there's some that's at 19, okay? I'm gonna call it 20 bucks. Let's call it 20 bucks. There's eight more days. There's eight more days. If we just average 20 bucks a day, that's 160. So 160 plus the 564, we'll finish this month for sure at 720. Let's just call it over 700. So this April, we'll finish at over 700, which I'll get paid on the 21st of May.  You're telling me an extra 700 a month wouldn't help.  I'm telling you, take what content you're putting out already, that same cute video that you're trying to do on Instagram live when no one cares, that same video you're doing on Facebook live, it blows my mind. Real-estate agents, yes, I'm talking to you. Local business owners, I'm talking to you. You got 3,000 friends on your personal Facebook page, 99% of them live across the country. A real estate agent is going Facebook live talking about their listing in their backyard when 99% of their Facebook friends live across the country. All I'm saying is that same video, first of all, I should have been a Facebook ad targeting that local area. So any of you local business owners that are doing these Facebook lives, Instagram lives, Instagram stories, and thinking that that's actually doing anything, it's not.  I'm just convinced, because I've spoken to thousands of you guys since 2016 since building my agency. I'm convinced that most of you are not. So 99% of you, all that content isn't doing anything for you because you're not running Facebook ads, you're not targeting your local area, that's number one. But all I'm saying also is that same content, that same damn video you did, park it over here. Because what started happening, let's just call it from October of 2019, November, December, now we're into 2020, January, February, March, April, six months, six months of me actually knowing what I'm doing, tagging, end screen, card, freaking thumbnail, description, consistency, okay? So all that stuff matters, but it's the consistency. And again, if you're not gonna do it every day, like I've been on a mission to do it every damn day since December, then I'm telling you, consistently upload at least two to three videos a week. If you can do two to three videos a week consistently, why don't you stick with one number? Either you're gonna do two every week or you're gonna do three every week.  If you can do, let's call it three. If you can do three videos per week for a six month period. I think you'd be further than where I'm at. So that April income, by the time we're done with April, that will be over 700, based on just basic math, right? If I average $20 a day, which all of mine are over 20, I'm seeing 25 a day, I'm seeing 30 bucks a day. If we just average 20 for the rest of the month, that's gonna put us at over 700. That's a video that you'll see in May, okay?  But where we're at this second, I'm freaking grateful. I'm grateful, I'm humbled, and I'm just convinced that all of you guys can do the same damn thing. And at the times that we're in right now of this uncertainty, these uncertain times when it comes to our economy in this country, even around the world, shit, people are hurting financially, man. I'm encouraging you to start doing something different.  And keep it simple too, pick a topic. That's what's super important as well. Don't start talking about all kinds of random stuff. Pick a topic. So I'm just assuming that most of you guys are actually watching this video. You guys are aspiring online entrepreneurs. You're either some type of business owner trying to figure out how the hell do I build a landing page? How do I run Facebook ads? How do I get better at social media marketing?  So that's my topic, right? That's what I built my channel around, is that. But rather than having to think of random stuff all the time to talk about, I just simply document what I'm doing. Experiences that I'm seeing, right? That's my channel.  You don't need to know all about editing. You don't have to have a crazy intro. You don't have to do all this other fancy, smashy stuff that you see YouTubers have. Like you'll get there eventually. I'm sure I'll get there eventually, but right now, shit, man, I'm freaking, I'm grateful for the over 700 that I'm gonna see in May, in May. In June, we're gonna be over 900. In July, we're gonna be over 1,000. In extra income, passive income. And I talk about this all the time when it comes to real estate. It's like, dude, I come from real estate. I come from mortgages and banking. It's like, dude, today, most passive income type of opportunities have been in real estate. I go purchase a property. I'm an investor. I go purchase a property. I financed it through a bank. Now I have a monthly mortgage. My monthly mortgage is 2,000 a month. I rent it to the neighbor for 2,500 a month, and I have a monthly positive cash flow of 500. That has been where residual income, passive income, that has been for the last 100 plus years, that has been where the term came from, real estate. Passive income, being an investor, and having this monthly cash flow. Do you understand how much that takes? Like, do you know how much money you need? Like this whole 100% financing is gone. You need to come with money now. You need to come with 20%, 25%, 30% down. Or you better be coming with cash to purchase a property, to rent it out, to have a few hundred a month in positive cash flow.   And the responsibility and the liability and the overhead ain't there like it would be in real estate. That's why I love Grant Cardone because he's not teaching that headache. He's teaching apartments. He's teaching, no, don't go out there and invest in one door.  So that whole passive income experience with single family residential homes has been where everybody has been glued on thinking that that's the only way to make a passive income. Or maybe the stock market. You go and invest in some stocks and you get a dividend. How's that going for you, bro? Like, right? So it's like, dude, there's not too many opportunities. There's not too many income opportunities where we can actually build a passive income.  And I don't see 546, I actually see 5400. And I don't see a full-time income, nor do I need to see a full-time income. I ain't no YouTuber. I see a part-time income. And I see a part-time income that is actually more than most people's full-time income. So in closing, I'm blessed for every single one of you guys, man.  I'm thankful for you. You're my prayers and I don't take that lightly. Don't take that lightly. I don't just say that to freaking say that.  So if you haven't subscribed, man, subscribe, smash the bell for notifications, drop me a comment below. My name is David. I'm out here in San Diego, building a social media agency and a digital publishing company. Now I'm taking the knowledge and the skills that I've been doing for other people. I'm packaging it all up in video form and selling it in a digital course. That's what I'm fired up about. And now I have a new passion and a new fire in me to build a YouTube channel. Not to be this crazy YouTuber, but to build an extra income for my family and I. That's what fires me up, right? Cause I know an extra income like this goes a long ways in times like this. And I truly, I'm truly convinced, man, that it would do the same for you and your family as well, man. So shout out to every single one of you. That income is gonna continue to grow because I'm gonna continue to grow and I'm not gonna stop, man. So if you're new, drop me a comment. Let me know where you guys are coming from. Let me know what type of business you're building online and let me know how I can bring value to what you got going on. That's pretty much what I wanted to share with you guys, man. That right there is a big deal, you guys. That's a big deal. Don't think you need to reinvent the wheel.  Just document, man. Document what you're doing and I'm telling you as you put that content out on YouTube, you will find your tribe. You will find your audience. You will find those that get glued to your channel and really find value in it. And as I was trying to say earlier, look at this low subscriber count, that ain't nothing, man. You guys are following people that have 20,000, 200,000. Some of you follow YouTubers that have 2 million. Those are real YouTubers, right? Even at my small number, man, I'm telling you. A few a week consistently, that's the key. You have to upload consistently. You guys can surpass that in a few months. But I'm just so grateful and I'm so, I hate to keep using the word convinced, but I'm convinced that you don't need everyone at all. Based on these small numbers, this extra income is a big deal, okay?  It's only gonna keep going up and I know it could do the same thing for you. All right, guys, so I appreciate your time, man. Thank you for joining me.   I'm telling you, man. When you go through hell, don't stop. Keep going, okay? Because you will see the light at the end of the tunnel. You will see the bright out of the dark. You will see it, man. It will be there, but you just can't give up, man. You just can't give up. You gotta keep going, keep going and fight for what you know is right. All right, guys, so I'll see you in the next video. Get that money over now.


Life is about constant evolution. Always better today than we were yesterday. Hello everyone and welcome to another episode of The Only Easy Day was Yesterday. I'm your host Scott Williams and today we have Andrew Dow with us to discuss the topic of So As. This is part two in our series and the first part we talked about just what is So As and Andrew explained that pretty well to us. Now we're going to talk about how to prepare for So As and this is the seal officer assessment and selection process. So Andrew welcome. Thanks. Let's get right into it. So let's talk about the application process itself. How do I apply if I want to be a seal officer? How do I apply for So As? What are some of the dates that things have to be done and prerequisites? Just talk to us about that. The So As application is very straightforward. All of it can be found on the CLOCM webpage and you can get to the CLOCM webpage through the Sealswik.com. There's different application process for different accession sources. So I'll first address the OCS, officer candidate school, the civilians who want to become seal officers. So the So As application before we even start anything, in order to be an officer in the military, an officer in the Navy, every candidate has to have their four year degree. They have to have their bachelor's degree. Whether you have your degree already or if you're just about to apply, you should start the summer prior to the applications due. So applications happen once a year. They're due to the CLOCM end of February. Every year it's the same. They're due to the CLOCM end of February. So if you're an OCS applicant, you should start this application in the summer. So July, August you go to an officer recruiter, start the OCS application and work on the So As application. If you're NRRTC and if you haven't let your chain of command know early, you start during the summer of your rising junior year. You start the So As application. No matter what the applications do to the CLOCM end of February. Once the application for any accession source is submitted, the Seal OCM Officer Community Manager conducts a down select. This down select determines if you'll receive an invitation to So As or not. This happens usually the end of March, early April and then from there they'll have the list of who will be attending So As. You'll be notified early April, middle of April if you've been invited to So As. After you've received your invitation, you'll attend So As, whether it's in June, July or August.  This happens in September. Candidates will be notified if they're going to Buds, usually in October. And then from there it's, if you're an ROTC midshipman, that October is your senior year.  If you attend OCS, you will usually attend OCS a month after receiving the selection. So you'll probably attend OCS sometime between November and April, and then you'll go to Buds late spring to early summer. So the So As application, for an individual, there's different accession sources for So As to become SEAL officers. I'm strictly going to talk first on the Officer Candidate School, the OCS candidate, the civilians who want to become SEAL officers. Before they can even apply and become, start the So As application, they have to have their four-year degree. And that goes for any aspiring officer in the military, whether you're going to become a naval officer, army officer, you have to have your four-year degree. So the first step they have to do is they go down to their officer recruiter at any naval station in their hometown or whatever is local to them, and they go in and talk to our officer recruiter and say I want to be a SEAL officer through the OCS pipeline. The officer recruiter will then start their application process, but concurrently and independently, but concurrently they have to their So As application, their SEAL officer assessment application. This application can be found on the SEAL OCM webpage. If anyone has issues getting to that webpage because they have just changed the format of it, it can be very confusing to navigate, they can reach out to me. I will provide my contact information to Scott, so if anyone has questions on how to get there. Yeah, just shoot us an email at info at SEALswick.com, and we'll get that question answered. Or they could go to the SEALswick website and there's a link to get to the SEAL OCM webpage with the So As application. OCM stands for? Officer Community Manager. The SEAL Officer Community Manager is the one who receives all the So As applications. So an OCS candidate, they talk to their officer recruiter and at the same time they can utilize me and I will help them with their So As application. So the So As application for an OCS candidate starts with them going to their officer recruiter. The officer recruiter will handle different components of that application, but concurrently and independently they're going to do their So As application. The So As application for an OCS candidate includes, one, they have to have their four year degree. They have to have a PST score, the physical screening test score, that can be done by their officer recruiter who can proctor it. They have to have a resume. The resume is basically a brag sheet about the individual, right? What have you done prior to applying to So As, right? And this can be a wide range of things. Their leadership experience, their athletic background, their GPA, what majors they studied, do they speak any languages. This is the time that they get to brag about themselves. Check your modesty at the door. You want to basically tell on this resume everything great about yourself. And is that the kind of stuff that NSW is looking for? Yes. During the So As application we want to see, because they're looking for the individuals with athletic backgrounds, the ones with strong GPAs or bilingual, or have leadership experience in the real world that they'll be able to utilize in the SEAL community. So on there, one of the components of the So As application is that resume. So that's, like I said, is your brag sheet. After you have the resume, you have your letter of references. You usually get two of those. And it's given to someone who knows you, who can write about, talk about you, right?  And for them to basically talk about it. So in the past, I've told candidates some good people to write letter of references are, you know, high school coaches, high school teachers, college teachers, college coaches. Some of your mentors that, you know, that you've looked up to in the past. So it doesn't have to be, you know, your local senator, for instance. Like it would be for if you're applying to the Naval Academy and you're getting a senator to write a letter of recommendation or some admiral somewhere, it really has more to do with how well does that person know you so that they can evaluate you as someone that is well known versus. The whole point of letter of references is not about the signature at the bottom. It's about the individual, the candidate, right? The person writing these LORs should know this person and be able to write good things about them. And just like you said, you're not looking for a senator. Hey, if you know a senator and he knows you since you were born, by all means, utilize that individual.  But if you're just in passing and you see this four star who you had the chance to say hello and then you ask, can you write a letter of reference for me? That's probably not a good idea because the selection panel sees these all the time and it's frowned upon because they don't know you. You want to find someone who knows you. That's the most important thing for these letter of references. Along with the LORs, you have the OCD, which is the officer candidate data card. It's basically a snapshot of the individual. The officer community manager can provide this to you and it's basically just filling in all the important highlights of your resume, of your GPA, of your leadership background, of your athletic background. It also included is a headshot of the candidate. So each candidate is also going to be required to provide a headshot in business casual. Don't be taking a picture in board shorts and t-shirt and flip flops. Look professional because this is an interview. So it's kind of like a baseball card in a way. Right, right. It has your personal stats on it and what you look like and your major accomplishments. It's going to say the degree, the four-year degree you got. If you have a master's degree, it will say that. It will say what you did in college, what you did in the real world of your jobs you've held and any languages you've spoken. How important is the degree or the school that you got it from? Like I get the question all the time, what should I get a degree in or does it matter if I go to Stanford or Timbuktu University? Tell me. So that's a great question and so my opinion on this and what I've seen over the last few years on applications is your major doesn't matter. What I tell all candidates is take a major that you enjoy, take a major that you feel you'll do well in and a major that you can see yourself doing in the real world. Don't take something because it looks good on paper. You want to have a backup plan because if this whole becoming a seal officer falls through, you want to be able to do something in the real world that you enjoy. So if you're an art major and you enjoy that, do it. What's important is that if you're doing it, make sure you do well in it because the selection panel and the down select panel is not going to... If you're an econ major and you have a 2.0, that's going to show something that you didn't really care about it. But if you're a physics major and you have a 3.0, we know physics is a challenging degree and to get a 3.0 or above is amazing. So what I tell candidates is major doesn't matter as long as it's something you enjoy and it's a backup plan for you, do well in it. Don't just pick a major because it's hard because that's going to show that you didn't put effort in it if you have a low GPA. School-wise is important, but not everyone can afford to go to Stanford. Not everyone can get a scholarship to Notre Dame. So you do the best you can with what you have. That's what I tell applicants because at the end of the day, you're going to prove yourself at SOAS. That's where the rubber meets the road for applicants trying to become seal officers. Just as long as it's an accredited school and not Joe's fly-by-night online university kind of thing. Not that online degrees are bad as long as the school is accredited. Absolutely.  In addition, there is medical documentation that you'll need. Once you do your OCS application, you'll receive medical documentation that you will be required to submit with your SOAS application. These are your DD-2807 and your DD-2808 that your officer recruiter will know what these are and he or she will be able to help you get those paperwork and submit it with your SOAS application. So the application process for OCS candidates, there's two of them. You got your OCS application and your SOAS application. I'm here for you all to answer any questions about the SOAS application and help guide you through that. Now, that's OCS and a not show. The other accession sources, Naval Academy, ROTC, their process a little different. Naval Academy has their own machine. If you could get to the Naval Academy, once you get there, they'll walk you through the process. Let's talk about ROTC, the NROTC, the Navy Reserve Officer Training Corps.  And it's a scholarship. Yes and no. So not every NROTC individual gets a scholarship. Usually around their second or third year, they'll get the opportunity, if they did well in school, since then to get the rest paid for. But the fundamentals of ROTC for any service is that you're committing to service as an officer in that military. Yes, yeah. The NROTC process is everything that's required for the SOA's application. Like we said, it can be found on the SEAL officer community webpage. But for ROTC, for you to become a SEAL officer, you need to start your freshman year. You need to let your chain of command of your NROTC unit know that, hey, my focus and my goals is to become a SEAL officer. So I'm going to work towards that. Because NROTC, historically, candidates are STEM focused. They're looking at mathematics and sciences and mechanical engineer and systems engineer. Because they're trying to build officers for the nuclear navy or to be pilots or to be surface warfare officers. Because the SEAL community is so tiny, it's such a small community in the Navy that it's not a focal point at NROTC. So it is imperative that you let your chain of command know right away what your intentions are. Once you make them aware of what it is, it can strive hard while you're at school to seek leadership positions in the NROTC. You can be a squad leader, you can be a training sergeant. You want to get as many leadership opportunities you can while you're at NROTC. And it can start your freshman year, right? You can be a leader as a freshman or a fourth class in the NROTC ranks. And that you want to be able to write down on your brag sheet, on your resume, which is one of the requirements for the SOAS application. The other thing I want to instill and drive home, when you're at an NROTC unit, that shouldn't be the only thing you're doing. You should be striving to, if you played sports in high school, you should be playing sports in college, even if you're doing NROTC. Because that's not full time. You should be able to make time to play a sport. I'm not saying go walk on the varsity, Notre Dame football team. What I am saying is they have club sports, they have intramural sports, stay active, stay busy. Because these are more things you can add to your resume, your application, and to brag about yourself. It also opens up different leadership positions, right? You can be a captain, you can be a treasurer, you can be, hold a leadership position on any of these athletic teams. And is this because the board is looking at the whole man concept? Yes, yes. The whole man concept is one of the major things this selection panel is looking at, right? We don't want to see just the person who goes to school, does good grades, and workouts in their room. We want to see the ones who are reaching out to their communities, you know, striving on the athletic field, who are also working in their NROTC units. We want to see individuals who do it all, not just single lined straight to the, I'm going college, ROTC, SEAL. No, we want to see people reaching out and doing those extra clerical activities. Like they could even be part of a student body, student government organization. They could be involved in a fraternity and do community service, things like this. Right, and you know, a lot of applicants that we've seen specifically from NROTC aren't just NROTC, right? They're playing some sort of sport. And it doesn't have to be, like I said, division one. It can be club, but they're staying busy. They're not just focused on school and ROTC. They're doing other things. And this helps them in the end. Roger. Something I want to talk about for NROTC machinima specifically is, you know, you let your chain of command know that you want to go SEAL officer early on as early as possible, right? Make them involved in your decision. If you go to SOAS, right?  If you're not selected, or if you are, if you're not selected, it's not the end of the world. There's still other ways to still become a SEAL officer. You're gonna have to, the easiest way is to lateral transfer. Put in for a surface warfare position. Do your time, earn your warfare insignia and lateral transfer from there. So it's not the end of the day. So you could still become a SEAL officer. It's just a little bit longer of a road. For those who want to become SEAL officers and don't learn about until their junior year or sophomore year, it's okay. I mean, most, a lot of candidates know they want to do it right away, but we do get the candidates who just didn't know. Maybe their unit wasn't aware of SOAS. As long as they get their application or the, as long as they reach out to me prior to their junior year or during their junior year before the applications are due, I can help guide them through the application process.  You can start this process as a junior. Okay, so we kind of covered OCS and NROTC. So let me just hit on NROTC real quick. So where it really is important is when they become a second class, right? That's when the application should be submitted. So they let their chain of command know I'm submitting an application.  They route it up to their chain of command and then their chain of command will submit it to the SEAL OCM. That's their junior year. That's their junior year. They will attend SOAS their rising senior summer. Okay. So that's NROTC and OCS we've talked about. The other applicants that we see, right? We have our lateral transfers who are active duty sailors already. Though they already have, their process a little different. They have to get their chain of command approval. They have to submit a lateral transfer paperwork but they don't actually lateral transfer until if they are selected for BUDS. But they have to get approval from their chain of command before they can apply in. Their application process, everything the ROTC, everything the OCS has to provide, a lateral transfer has to provide. As does the inner service transfers, right? We are Marine Corps, our Army, our Coast Guard, our Air Force. They all have to do the same application requirements which is on the SEAL OCM webpage and submit it to the SEAL OCM. And any of those applicants who are already in the military coming from a different community, whether they're a lateral transfer from the supply corps or an inner service transfer from the Marine Corps or inner service academy transfer from the Air Force. If they should not make it through the SOAS selection process, they are returning to their original source, right?  You're not transferred into the Navy as a general and designated something. Correct, correct. So it's almost, it's not a freebie, but you get to try out for SOAS if you do well and you go to the selection panel and they select you for BUDS, then you'll complete the inner service or lateral transfer and then you go to BUDS. If it doesn't work out and you're not selected, you'll go back to the community you just came from. Okay, so we talked a little bit about some tips for having a strong application. Those being, you know, making sure that your letter of referral or letter of recommendation is coming from the right source. We talked about how as a student in college, you wanna be involved in many different things and I think that probably applies to all the applicants, right? Since they're looking for a whole man or whole woman concept, they wanna see people who are well-rounded, not just I'm an A-set athletics or I'm a total egghead, but they wanna see people well-rounded out, people who can demonstrate some leadership, some commitment to teamwork, things like this. Yes, yeah. And it's fortunate our lateral transfers are inner service, right? They're coming from communities where they served as leaders already, right? You got your O1s, your ensigns, the lieutenants, second lieutenants, your first lieutenants, your lieutenant JGs, right? You have all these individuals who have leadership experience. So these are important roles that the selection panel is looking for. It's the whole man concept or woman concept, like you said. So I know that a lot of people are probably wondering, this sounds really interesting. Gosh, I wanna do that. How do I train for SOAS? So there's a miss, I wanna say that a lot of people believe that if I can just train for the PST, I will crush SOAS. That is completely false. You should train for the PST to do well on the PST, but when you're training for SOAS, you need to be focused on lots of running, lots of swimming, lots of calisthenics, and lots of body weight lifts. And if you're looking for a specific guide, one I'll mention is the PTG, the physical training guide. You can be found on the Sealswik website. It is 26 weeks of training from start to finish. And it's a good preparation tool to get you ready for SOAS. Cause SOAS in a nutshell is buds without all the buds craziness of instructors yelling at your face. You're gonna do log PT.  You're gonna do four-mile time runs. You're gonna do rucksack runs, right? So this physical training guide will get you ready for that. And what I tell individuals is that, you train for the PST to do well on the PST, but when you're training for SOAS, it's you shouldn't be training like you're a bodybuilder, right? You shouldn't be trying to be doing a 500 pound bench press. You should be doing body weight lifts, high reps, lightweight, long distance.  Endurance training. Endurance training, exactly. So that is a good starting point to get you ready for SOAS. But like that PTG, the physical training guide on the SEAL SWIC, that's what I direct a lot of candidates to because it's a good starting point for them to get ready for SOAS. Well, I've heard the expression that buds is a running man's game, but also the swim is very important too. And if you don't know how to do a combat side stroke, you may be at a disadvantage. For those who don't know the combat side stroke, you could just YouTube it, right? The SEAL SWIC website has some videos or it can show you the proper form. In the instruction for the PST, you can do breast stroke. That's one of the strokes that everyone should know, curl stroke or freestyle, breast stroke, back stroke, all those different strokes. Combat side stroke that the PST, you do the combat side stroke during the PST. You can also do the breast stroke, but the combat side stroke is occupationally relevant. It's important because it has a lot of, a lot of importance in the SEAL teams, right? It's low, low signature. You save a lot of energy using it. And let's just look at the PST. What are you gonna do right after the swim?   The combat side stroke helps you spread out the conditioning of the entire stroke, right? So you won't be as fatigued when you're doing those evolutions, those exercises, excuse me. But it also, it has important value within the community in the teams, right? The combat side stroke allows you, if you're injured, right? You're still able to propel yourself with one arm or with one leg. You're able to pull your buddy if he's injured, he or she is injured. You're able to get them out of a bad situation. Also allows you to move your gear silently so there's less splash in the water. That's why we try to instill in the candidates to learn the combat side stroke early. So that's what you're going with because that's what you're gonna use in Buds and in the teams. So I think it's important to point out that, when it comes to physical conditioning, learning how to train for so-as, what should I do? Probably the best things you can do is just use the free resources on sealswik.com. You don't need to pay for an expensive gem membership or follow some guy's routine, pay for his subscription to do whatever. You don't need to pay for anything and you don't need to get caught up in various fitness trends. Candidates today have the luxury of the internet and there's a ton of free stuff.  How do I get ready, right? But with these resources, totally utilize them because they will get you ready, right? The seal community is an active lifestyle. So find things that can get you ready for so-as. Utilize the sealswik webpage and whatever else is out there, you just wanna be physically ready for so-as because it is very challenging. It's not Buds, but it's definitely a step to Buds and it is very challenging. Okay, so last question. So we're gonna talk about, if I'm thinking about coming to so-as, let's say I put an application, I got accepted. Now, how do I get there? I live in Missouri, let's say. And so-as is conducted out here in Coronado, West Coast, San Diego. How do I get myself from Missouri to San Diego? Do I have to pay for that ticket? Do they pay for me? What am I gonna eat? How am I gonna eat? Where am I gonna stay? Tell me a little bit about that, the logistics of it. Okay, every seal candidate, right? They submit their application, there's a down-select panel that the CLO's officer community manager conducts and from there, individuals will receive either an invitation or not. They're either going to so-as or not. At that point, they'll start working with me, the so-as program manager, to figure out how they get here and I'll help them, I'll walk them through the steps of how they get to so-as. We'll determine which block you'll attend, whether it's June, July, or August, but you will, everything will be handled for you. If it's an ROTC, your chain of command will get your orders set up, which block you'll attend and they will fly you or drop your POV privately owned vehicle or government vehicle, get you to so-as. For OCS, you'll work with me, we'll get you airfare, we'll get you to so-as. Lateral transfers is a different case, right? If your chain of command's on board of if you lateral transferring, maybe they'll pay for your flights. If not, you'll have to pay out of pocket. The big thing is getting to so-as. Once you get there, everything else is handled for you. Meals will be provided, lodging is provided, everything is done in-house, so you won't have to worry about finding a hotel out in town or where am I gonna go eat at lunch? Everything is handled because everything is on a schedule, from the day you show up to the day you leave. And you mentioned that first day when they arrive, they're gonna get checked in and they're gonna get issued all the clothing and gear that they're going to need during so-as. Yeah, so once everyone arrives, if you're arriving at the airport, Naval Special Warfare Center, the assessment team for so-as will get you a shuttle from the airport or pick you up at the front gate of NAB Coronado and get you to your lodging, your barracks, where you'll be staying. Once all the candidates for that so-as block gets there, you will go and get gear issued, where you'll get everything you'll need for so-as. Prior to coming to so-as, you'll receive a warning order, we call it a worn-o, that will provide a gear list of things you will be required to bring, like your toiletries, sleeping bag, pillow, change of clothes from running shoes, just things that we will not be able to provide you. Once everyone gets here, we'll go get your gear issue, your uniforms, your boots, your fins, your wetsuits, your canteens, everything you'll need for so-as will be provided to you on that first day you check in. That actually brings up a nice side question, I get asked a lot. When I go to so-as, can I bring my medications or my vitamins or my shoe insoles? On this warning order, it will tell you everything you need to do. If there's a prescription that you're required to take, just like in anything, you'll check it into our medical department and they'll issue it as needed. Supplements are not authorized at so-as, right? If you're taking creatine or power, whey protein or anything, you should stop that before coming to so-as, that's not authorized, that's not authorized at Buds, it's not authorized at so-as. Insoles, that's a great question. Something I suggest to all candidates before they come to so-as is, and what I'm always asked is, are boots gonna be issued?  So, get your own pair of boots. Right now, Buds is issuing the Nike SFB generation two, all black, non Gore-Tex boot. I would highly suggest you go and get that. I would highly suggest you do this early on. Once you receive an invitation, get them and start breaking them in because you wanna come to so-as with broken in boots. Insoles, when I went through Buds, we would, every person that went before me said, get insoles, insoles are so important. Depending on what foot, what size foot or what type of foot you have, if you have flat foot or arch foot, there's tons of different insoles in there. I highly suggest you purchase a nice insole that you can put in your boot and make sure you work out in it prior to coming to so-as because the thing you're gonna be utilizing the most at Buds and so-as is your feet. And if your feet get destroyed, you're gonna fail. Hey, Andrew, that sounds great. I appreciate you coming in here today and talking to us about the so-as application process. And so-as is really important for anyone who wants to be a SEAL officer. So we will continue this series about so-as. Next, we will talk about the actual so-as experience, what you can expect during that two weeks here at Coronado on the grinders of Buds and the sand dunes of Coronado. That's it for today. I'm Scott Williams and we'll see you next time on the Only Easy Day was yesterday. There is nowhere to hide in Hell with Jets. If you've been skating through Buds so far, you will not do so any longer. Exactly, all right. That's what we're looking for.


The more you look around and pay attention, the more you realize that companies are simply trying to trick people with just simple words. Hey there, NJRoot22.com here with another vlog and it's a product vlog and a basic consumerism type rant today. And I'm downing a new look today. I got this patriotic USA cap over at TJ Maxx. I didn't want to wear my little fruity little Tilly hat or whatever it's called anymore. It was annoying for some reason. I use that for landscaping. I'm going to wear this hat, this hat that was made in Vietnam. How patriotic is that? Anyway, today we're talking about product names and they're deceptive in many ways based on emotional triggers and just key words.  If you use that keyword, it's going to pave the road of riches ahead for all these companies. And I'm going to pick four items out of my closet or refrigerator that I don't mind talking about. But we're going to talk about other things. This is sort of inspired by this other article we did on the NJRoot22.com vlog a few months ago. It was about this product that pulled out all the stops when it came to naming their company. And this company was named, if you care about the environment, you'll buy our stuff.  It's utter expensive junk.  It's just substandard, but it has that emotional little trigger that makes you feel bad.   But there are hundreds, if not thousands, of other product names or company names that prey on this emotional, psychological triggering. I'll give you some examples here. Here's a company we use for some of our, by the way, we get these squeeze packs for our kids. And they're horrible. I don't approve of these, but the company is called Earth's Best. They're talking about the Earth, that's trigger number one. Best is trigger number two, which means there's nothing better. And this is some blueberry banana puree. It probably took 100 bananas and 50,000 blueberries to make this pack. I mean, I don't really eat food myself. I'd rather my kids just eat meat, but they're probably a little too young to be carnivore. I don't think it's going to take over in this family anytime soon. I do what I can for myself. But I mean, this has 17 grams of carbs for a 50 pound or 40 pound kid.  That's like me eating, I don't know, 100 grams of carbs. It's blood sugar spiking. But anyway, Earth's Best, organic. That's a really classic. And they're a good company, I guess, we use their formula. But still, it's just, you can't get any more triggering than. Here's another company, this Jessica Alba's company, Honest. Honest kids, honest this, honest. Honest is another trigger word. Oh, I'm not going to steal. I'm not going to do anything to charge you more. And they're a good company, the billion dollar company. It's amazing. But they're praying on, and just the name of the company alone, Honest, Honest. I mean, don't you, wouldn't you expect every single company to be honest, like, and they just picked one of these major key words to lure you into trusting them without any prior experience. And here's another one at our not so favorite supermarket stop and shop. They have a brand, a house brand, called Nature's Promise. Now, I don't know what a promise nature ever made to me, and how do you hold nature accountable if they break their promise? I mean, who made the promise for nature, like on nature's behalf? Nature doesn't make promises. Nature just does. It just is. Like, there'll be a landslide in your neck of the woods or a tree will fall on your house. Like, what do you tell nature then? Don't live near a tree. I don't know. Nature's promise. They use these words. Promise is a trigger word. Nature. Nature is, if you go to shop right and look at their vitamins, nature or natural is in every single brand they sell. I can't remember, but there's nature in every vitamin brand. And they're all made in a factory with some robot machine pumping. That's not nature. But they use these, I mean, I'm sure this peanut butter is good because it just has organic peanuts and sea salt. So that's fine, even though peanuts shouldn't be eaten in mass quantities. But that's just another example of the words. And now one of the other ones that sort of triggered this video is these dog treats, these El Chippo dog treats at Wegmans. It's called Wegmans nature. Natural dog treats. Nature. There's nothing natural or nature about this. It's just rye flour, absorbic acid, rosemary extract. How did nature extract the rosemary? Preserved with mixed tocophorels, I don't even know how to say that. But it doesn't seem 100% natural by any means. And it's made in some little robot machine, makes these heart shapes unnaturally. But they use these keywords and it's the biggest font on the box, nature. And 95% of the people don't even think about it. They don't criticize it and say, well, what's so natural about this? And I like Wegmans for the most part. I'm not knocking Wegmans, but it's just the whole overall concept of how they pick the words, they name their products or their brands. And I think it takes advantage of people. And they don't think twice about what's in it.  I don't know. I just think this whole industry of naming things in these buzz words and trigger words that people don't think about what it means. They just feel good about it. So I would beware of this trend. And it's happening at a breakneck pace across all spectrums and not just food, but anything that maybe has toxic chemicals and cleaning products are one of the big industries as well. Like where they have a plant-based this, plant-based that and non-toxic. I mean, heck, bleach is the best cleaner you can use. Or hydrogen peroxide, which is really pretty natural, dangerous if you don't know how to use it. But they're really doing a number on people's buying habits and so on. So I think that's it for now, but I thought it was an interesting thing to bring up and something for more people to pay attention to when they go to the supermarket. Or pointing out the things that you think they chose the word specifically to latch on to these people who are confused and unsure of what to do with this whole big eco-friendly and non-toxic movement. Just stick to raw foods. Eat meat and use bleach. Bleach is great. So whatever. I can go on and on. But that's it for today. I'll see you later in the week with another episode.


Eh, eh, eh, eka poz kuwan zakidok, okidok. Ok. Eh, ok. Ha, ha, ha. And we are back. All right? So, ya ni, eh, manze, if there is one thing so unique and so cool about J.C.

Signia, umeku ajya since then. Miko fitting. God name so. Ashkuru. Kwa nasukia leo. Humbold fullya. Nia zin. Sikitu akawida. Kabisa. Very true. And it's a precious gift atasisi piya kukuna. True. Na kukuna weyapa. And thank you. Thank you so much. Next. Mkweli. Mifraikunion. Mimiu ata nikuwa mbine nakuwanangakwa video. Naji cho cha tuluna pa iwi nina jwa wumse. Mkweli kutuwa. Hey, sasa. Mziki nidawa. Yes. So nama mitu leta pamonja chena. Mkweli. Hey, sasa. Let's talk about your latest release before niku chambuweki dogo. Okay. Na chambuliwe. Canakuhata. Okay. Um, project nitu okay. Okay. So, trees. Wea pametad kongiagia. Whatever na hapen. Like sayi kuna suna dedibaringu. Kuna corruption kuunaniini. So kazietu ni kuenda tukuwa oma. Amana piya situ na ni ku fight the issues. Onani get. So I think, as Christians nakuwaga, Tuko turn in between the two. Should we go to chkwe ahone ni yeti turned it to fight? Onani get. Amana chkwe ahama yeti kwa Christ turned it to ... But I think we can do both. We can do both, we can still go out there na to ongele na to same. This is what in affect or say way to. Ko zata to ki leinga, whatever na kwa effect, ita ni effect badai, ono ana. So akuna kwa leinga, let's talk about easy issues, let's talk about depression, let's talk about hunger, ono ana. Let's talk about corruption, please let's do that. Let's go out there na tuwa chek chorrea. Tuwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa building zei, tuwa ti church, kila sandeni. Churchi toa ke ishiye. We can advocate for him waka. Can we say it okay? Kabisa. Kabisa, how long did it take you for that song? I already wanna speak kwangu. How long did it take you bako fikamalu wacha ninge kwa booth ni dropi song? I think nimi kwa niki niki sema V2 fly niki kwanguoma. Nimi kwa niki advocate for these issues for a long time, ko ala sama kwa kifotamziki kwangu. Miaro kiangalia. Sochol media po osu zango. Uh... So kwa pagi kwangu. I think that's who I am, and I think paposyeldu me kwa waja. Wajani uo odi, wacha liakwa bumitani, wo drem ko, apwa juwia fanyani nini. We are losing a generation. I think we don't have much to kwa lende liakwa leinga hi story. I don't have generation kwa na mana na came. So, as waluwa sona tuangaliya, juhu nasama kwa nga weinimsa ni weinikiwa chaja mi. You need to be a mira out there, una tunanid kumira. So, mi na mira, whatever you na happen. Na mi ni me kwa apu. You know why I'm talking about this? Kwa mi ni me kwa raised kwa izu places. Mi me kwa raised. Bona raised kwa gemi. Nimi raised wana wa say, nimi zika wa say. Nimi wana wa sua ki wiliwa. Nimi wana wa sua ki prospa at the same time. Wana ni get. So, kuna, kuna, kuna equal opportunities. It's anyone to decide, ono ana. Ano ana. Nimi zika to decide, nimi wana wana wana wana. Nimi wana wana wana stone wana. At least, kuna umse, kuna kahu pflani. Nimi wana wana wana say, nimi weitwa gospela say, kuna hu pflani. Ono ana. And in doing that, all you can do is just to do two content poor. Sana. Sana. So, I mean, I guess you're right. At the end of the day, kila mtu ana kuna calling. Na ini ako. Na wezi talka. That's the reason why I think God dali kutatu as you are. Na say tu na badili kakukwam tu mungine ama una emile tumse mungine apana as you are. To see uberi sana, kwa sabutu atakaku. Focus on Stoney Jue, the artist. Iwa story akua, he's a vessel called for a specific purpose. Tutitana spinyengine. So, back to this song, Project OK. Aha. So, how long did it take you? This project started when I was in the studio. For some time. And even the project took a while. A project can take two years. A project can take five years. When I was in the studio, I thought it would take a while. So, there was a timing. There was a feeling for me. When I was in the studio, I thought it would take me next year. And as much as I record, when I record many songs, how would you gani it atoka? When I was in the studio, I thought it would take a while. I think this timing is not a problem. So, you were in the studio and you were in the lab? Yeah, yeah. As an artist, I was in the lab. I was in the studio for a while. I was in the studio daily. So, I was in the studio. I spent most of my time in the studio. And the music was in the studio. OK. OK. And it took time. It took time. It took time. I thought it would take a while. But when it was in January, February, I thought OK now. I was in the studio and I was in the studio. I was in the studio and I thought it would take a while before I could do anything else. I have a video. It was a video. It has been thought through. What inspired you? I was in the house. I was 23. I was in the house. I did all the locations. You were in the house? Yes. We did a location, we took a week. I thought it would take a while. I felt it to take a while. I knew the connection of every content. I knew the video. I took a week to get straight. So, I saw the camera. And Jiji started doing the others. And the director of the video for the past 2 yrs. Iwa kuwana e. Ilazima. Stidani ni ngedu kuwana ingoma. Ni kishu tapo kandro ya bima. Amako widescreen. It wasn't a song for that. So ili kwa song ya. Ukondani na ili kwa ina show Wateva ina happenan. Wateva mi udilna yo daily. On a daily basis ni kendam ta. Ano asimu pata nao daily. Ano asimu ona kila siku. Waki toka shule. And all that stuff. You ni poa tu san. Sasa there is this issue that has rumours. I don't really like dwelling on them. But I just want clarity. And wata tuto ya kwa sos. So kuna ii rumo ya kwa atikuna mse ama wazi wana mech kwa flow ya kwa. Ni ukweli ni wango. I think siku kwa inspired bitu differently. Wacha ni kwa mbe. Kwa waza skia. Msa ni flani. Msa itwa bensim. Wacha msa itwa bensim. You know what happens with music. You listen to someone. Kwa namskiza chini amaji. You're not telling the guy that tu namskiza. And then when you go to the studio. Yo kitu kwa kichu. On a daily subconscious you pick. Ina picking. So on a na fanya kitu na fanya kitu. U kitu wa waka waka. Wata wu jwi. U kwa like stone. U li fanya ingama bazi. And that's what happens when you do a refix. When I do a refix. Longest time you can't repeat. Until tu patane. Kama nia sayze itne liskiza for long. Kama nia masimasi kaka. Kama nia willipo nia liskiza for long. So I think what you need to do. Ken I say ma outright ni. If you love someone. Nuna penda mziki artis. Please share and talk about it. Wana jiki. Waka waka da waji wumse. So I mean I say wumse nifan. Nifan wako. Napa sinifanya kitu. Wapu dwi opo the glory of Godman. Atam tu wakam tu. Nia jaban na nani inspire. And it's good. Nia tam ni kwa umu dili kwa like. I am such a big inspiration. Napia sali kuna. Kuna postime kwa jana jiu zi piya. About trappers in Kenya. Yuna jua. Ngani mkali naston jiu kwa rangta api wio. So unazat tu otwambia. Flow ya kwa huta itoka kwa rapi. Rapi is your flow? I'm thinking. I mean I say ma. I endo foundation niyanku. Kwa nili grup mic zahipo. Nili grup mic zahipo piyote ya Kenya ma. I'll say it outright niya kina kala mashaka. Uko flani. Juliani. I'll say ni nili kwa. Nili kwa. But one thing happened. Letem nili nili studio. For like one year nili understand kumek music. Nili kwa understand a lot about music. So nili kila kitu nata kakuna ipia time. The whole of last year nili chukwa a while back. Nili kakua bench. Nika kwa kwa nika. There's some things I need to learn. Mostly production and music. Kabisa kabisa kabisa. So mi na penamziki. And don't need to challenge nifani refix. Amani fani any kind of genre of music. Kata okay. I think it's a reggae flow. But there's content hip hop. Nika ma ni medicine. Nili kwa tablet. Mi na zaka tablet nabarikutu. Nabarikutu wanget. Ina li kwa nuna takagani. Amathera pipia. Iwi kimi opata na na yosinda nama. Amathera pipia. So mi na zaka. Iwi kimi opata na na yosinda nama. Amathera pipia. Iwi kimi opata na na yosinda nama. So mi na penamziki. And I wouldn't say right now, at being ranked up, Siki tu akawida. Actually nili kwa shok. Nili tagi onam tu mungi. Niko like aji. Umsia li kwa mistake. Niko kwa pichangu wa. But all in all ni kambia munguwa sandi. I think chema chaji uza. So kwangu niko like. And tenderly aku fanya what I do best. Naki lam saya pwana fanya whatever he does the best. I would have to stick to my own lens. Tu aparatneisia. Zajenga industria zwa. To God with the glory. Umsia li kwa believe it he talks like this. Ya ni anaongia. Baka ya ni, suji tu takutatu fanya. To a whole show is kutunia. Uradu li kwa uta kata wipi because. Uradu li kwa uta kata wipi because. You know like that. But anyway. So kunei hatingi na balansingi. Bado pushu kraft ama umeika pia kwa kando kidogo. Eko. Eko. So what's eko. So it doesn't matter. Mkimona akiwa ana aktikama suji Igun. Musianze wukwati. Ushu oda wukwo. But ni utespian. Kraft lazima iskumuwe. So we really wanna thank God. What are we expecting from Stoney this year? I know umeika kiki pika pika kuna witu zina marinet. Mziki. I think I like it when my music supersedes me. Mi ndaba kiki kulem se. Wacha mziki nda kwa anza. I don't think there's sinangu viakuza, sura sa ana. Itadjusa. Itadjusa. Itadjusa. But one thing na mziki ako. Iokitu neza fae entembe adiyo. Aki. Wacha ni nda. Iokitu tu. Na taking itimob kwa ndika. It's what I love. Ion dekitu miu push. Inoteva ne kapale. So my music first. Mziki. Mziki. Mziki. I think we only have okeikuna muizimoja. So we enjoyed before we drop another tune. Awesome. Pata ngu mazake mingi. Yu ali kwa me take break. Na sasa akiyamua sasa akuna break. Mi muziki zina supersede. We'll be waiting. So we want to say on behalf of our JCCA Kulshu again in a seat too late. But we want to say we want to give a few chances for the loss that you encountered a short while back. It's not easy. And I know me Gracia God kwa kuku sustain. Ukauki juwa irrespective of whether metona amat ujatuona tunende la kukushikili okamao. And you standing here today like we said it was not only an honour but for us it was a prayer answered because sira isi kwengede tume cha poa. It takes a while before you can be able to rise up again. Also kabula utu pate the full dose ya ok ni desturi kama JCCA Kul kwa zaku spika blessing. And this is more like a prayer alright. So as Tony Jiwe and as a servant of God that umededicate life yako kisema use me as I am. I know challenges is ukua and I know attacks is ukua. But I actually stand on your behalf and tunasama in the gap to kisema we silence every evil voice speaking against your life from all the wicked camps that you know are ganging out there by the power of the blood of Jesus and we renounce all curses on your eyes stomach as in you in whole as a vessel. Ya God we renounce all curses that waki kapwe wo all the speaker curses all the speaker you know bad things we renounce and decline those powers spoken by the evil tongues in the name of Jesus. May you prosper and may you continue to do it for God's glory. And even as you do that just get to know nia ya tu akunam tu mungini atakeza kuxema misha in Jesus name. So go so to nga go ja next month U drop tena. Ntani apa tu atakani ungem ho Ntani apa.
