So Devil let's hear you know how to see me some more.  You hit me because it's a work being done and the work that's being done right now is the work of real men the work that being a real man and When real man doing work You're gonna have The devil man and he gonna be you know Riled up because it's a shift happening. It's a change happening and you got to understand the ripple effect So one person can say something and it can reach 10 people and then 10 people could reach a hundred and then a hundred people could reach a thousand so When you start to slowly but surely up end what the devil trying to do which is you know grown boys dominating and domineering overwomen and being a tyrant and trying to You know operate from their pain and their Everything that they didn't dealt with their childhood trauma all the stuff They didn't went through and they operate from that space and it's breaking down the family. It's breaking down the household So when that right there starts to happen Hey, you got to keep your foot on the devil net. You hear me and keep going So I say I'm gonna pop on in here and Pretty black I'm not sure what you talking about, but That ain't none of my business what somebody else talking about saying about me. So You know like they used to say when somebody say, um, oh Somebody was talking about you and didn't say well why they felt comfortable talking about me to you So don't come telling me what somebody said about me. What did you tell that person about me? What do you know about me that you told that person you see I'm saying because People gonna talk when you out here and you doing the Lord's work and you making moves people gonna have stuff to say so Like like your grandma used to always say they talked about Jesus. Okay. I remember a man told me He said you can't stop for every barking dog If you trying to get somewhere you can't stop for every barking dog because you start for every barking dog Then you ain't gonna ever get where you got to go. All right, so understand that right there So don't ever bring me no bone from nobody else who Ain't got no house living and no pot the PN and no window to throw it out of you hit me Cuz we doing the Lord's work over here. So understand that let them let them keep Let them keep talking because they talking that mean that PR a free PR Now, let me see. I'm gonna get some of your questions and some of y'all was asking me about One of my videos where I was talking about while talking about I'm in love, you know with my wife and I had the block One lady cuz in time a person they knew on here and they they take You know my sense of humor to serious and want to get in the comments all righteous in they feelings They meet the block button and then they got to tell me what it feel like to be on the other side of a block button and so On that video what I was talking about in there is that as a real man and If you ever met a real man, then you know when when you see one real recognized real so It a real woman gonna recognize a real man and any real woman any real man know that it ain't nothing, you know soft and scared and weak about me But when you become a real man, that's when you really understand that your strength is in your gentleness and A lot of a lot of men who call themselves alpha men is really punks A lot of men who call themselves alpha men is really the real simps A lot of men who call themselves alpha men is really struggling from being Traumatized they whole life Whether whether they was picked on because they was looks challenged whether they was Less fortunate in and they took that heart and they let it make them feel less than whether they daddy abandoned them And so they take that that childhood trauma They take that pain and then they go into this space and they start to operate from that pain And they start to operate from that trauma and they start to make everybody else They bleed on everybody else and make everybody pay for their insecurities So what you'll see is you're gonna see so many men who calling themselves alpha men They really is soft. They the real simps. They really is but hurt And so for them in order for them to be a man They have to put a woman down They got to make a woman feel less than they got to make the woman to tell when they Call themselves the head but see the way with me being a man With me being a real man and y'all let me talk to you for a minute I answer no question right now.  So one thing about a man Although we say oh the man is the head some men take that so literal and don't understand that they can only see one way And they don't understand that that woman is also the head What I mean by that the good boy say that you submit one to another it say wives Love sir love your husband as as unserved your husband as a submit until your husband as unto the Lord But then it say husbands love your wives as Christ loved the church So when you when both do that it eat it levels the playing field So if you submit Until your husband as unto the Lord, but then he loves you the way Christ loved the church now the playing field It's even because what a lot of men don't understand is that if you take care of your woman Mentally emotionally physically you take care of your woman. She's and she can trust you Then you don't have to compete for who's the head. You ain't got to say. Oh, I'm the head. You tell oh I'm an alpha male. Oh, I'm alpha male. You a woman. Let's get in your place. You ain't gonna tell me what to do I'm a man You don't have to do all that when you love your woman and you respect your woman and you treat your woman like She is an equal not that not like she is less than so although she may be the weaker vessel According to the good word in a quarter to your physical strength and what have you She still is Qualified to think for herself and her thought process can take your life to another level But she is a lot of simps out here that got it confused and they think that putting a foot on the neck of a woman Make them a man.  No And see that's what's going on today And so now it's gonna be women that take advantage of that and that use that but see as a real man He's not gonna let a woman mistreat him and disrespect him and dog him out. He gonna check her So understanding that a woman has a mind to think for herself Don't mean a real man allows a woman to run over him It don't mean that a woman called all the shots But what it mean for me as a married man See a lot of men that's talking about being alpha males and red pill this and mick tau. They're not married They single or they interrelationship and they're not married because they're non-committal and they're afraid to sacrifice And they're afraid to be Humble and they're afraid to get married because it requires a sacrifice. It requires discipline. It requires self love It requires self-respect. And so they're afraid to get married because they still but hurt from childhood trauma They still got PTSD from what they went through growing up from being bullied from being abandoned from being talked about From being looks challenged from being mistreated from being cheated on by the loose booty woman Who that they was chasing out the foot all the wrong reasons and then boom She served him up what he had been asking for Everything that he had done wrong to somebody else. She made she happened to be Reaping what he had sold and so now these men they come and has grown men and they hurt him. They insecure They lost they they broke him and Now they want to break a woman they want to put a woman down and stand on the woman's shoulder So they could feel like a giant You lost my brother you not no alpha male use a weak male use a lost male Use an immature male and what you need to do is you need to go to God and you'll understand that God tells you in his word that a man who finds a wife finds a good thing and receives favor from the Lord That's why the Bible tell you and he draw and that's why in the good word It draws such a parallel as to say husbands love your wives as Christ loved the church Even if you don't believe in Christ when you study the story of Christ and the sacrifice that he made For the salvation of the people then you understand how great a love has to be from husband to wife and in that you understand There is no domineering. There is no Tire any there is no you coming and thinking that you lead with an iron fist. No Your strength is in your gentleness with your woman.  My best books. It was her idea. I Earn in my sleep and but it's my wife supporting me to help me get to that place And so the other day I Went and I bought my sister a car and I bought my security guard a car He's also my best friend. I bought two cars in the same day and my wife She could have said no, we're not doing that. No, we cannot do that and she could have had this scarcity mind set Because that's something big to do. That's a big thing But I say listen, she know I can go and get it.  So she said, okay If that's what you want to do, I support it go ahead So she went ahead and she and she said I'm gonna support you So she let me call that shot, but she trusts me that I'm gonna lead She trusts me that I'm gonna provide She trusts me that I got the ambition to get up and go work. So that although I spent $70,000 cash in one day.  I know it's gonna come back tenfold.    Let me ask you this if that's the case Then how do I make seven figures? You know seven figures is a million dollars or more How do I earn a million dollars or more sitting at home with no staff with no team? If me loving my wife is gonna hinder my business How do I have over 50 streams of income and 13 companies?  So when men unlock drink genuine and pure love And that's what I tell every single man. They say man. What's the key to your success? Tony, how you got over 50 streams of income Tony? How you make seven figures? Million dollars up from home without having to go anywhere I learn love It ain't just about business. See when I when I serve my wife with love and I lead in love It unlocked my mind because in that moment I learn Self-control in that moment. I learn Dignity self-respect and self-love. So when I unlock that love it allows me to elevate to my highest form but when I'm demeaning and debasing and degrading and minimizing my woman then that That has me operating and vibrating On a level that is less than my highest self So what you have to realize is that's where you have to get to so why are you calling yourself a alpha male? Why are you calling yourself? uh Men going your own way. Why are you calling yourself red peel men?   Oh, you're such a man.  You got to get over your mama wounds You got to get over being bully you got to get over being punked You got to get over being touched as a child. You got to sit down and do the therapy that you need You got to get the mental health that you need You got to do the work that you need so you can understand what it is to be a real man That's what you got to do and and uh Latte be careful what you're saying because we know you're talking to the man But when you say that it could sound like you're talking to me. So just say y'all don't say you okay Be careful with that.    What I do is I love her. I cherish her I treat her with love and respect and she say, you know what now, I know you a real man Now I could trust you what we finna do.  We could go dollar for dollar So so for the women, excuse me talking money because it's offensive to you because a lot of you don't judge a man by that But see me and that's how they see so they think that you got to dominate a woman and be disrespect for the women and put a woman under your foot in order to be tough in business Tell me why I get paid 300 percent of what a company say that I'm worth When a company when a company come to me and say look we got 20,000 for you tell me why I got 75,000 Tell me how how am I weak in the board room? Tell me how am I weak in the board room when I get paid over 300 percent of what the industry of what the market says My value is it's because of the space that I operate from Because of the level that I tapped into when I learned how to love and treat a woman And this what I know as a man this coming from a man That sold drugs in the street that hustled 21 out of 24 hours a day That was sitting in a college classroom On a football scholarship with a quarter pound of weed That every day after I lost my football scholarship and got kicked off the team and I had to go get in another college I was sitting in college with a quarter pound of weed and a 380 in my backpack with my notebook and pencil This coming from a man who thought he was a man this coming from a man who used to put hands Who used to disrespect disrespect who used to demean who used to dog out this coming from a man Who threat who was sleep with three women in a 24 hour span?  What you think is a man What you think is a man is a lost confused boy What you think is a man?  I know what it is to be a grown boy I know what it is to be a punk when I sleep with three women in one day And I was both busted and disgusted wasn't even no millionaire And had more women that I could count. That's what y'all call man hood man.  I was hurt. I was broken just like y'all boys is online today online calling people simps I just seen a boy. I'm a deal. I'm a deal. I'm a comment old simp But then they'll say oh that make you weak in business But then they'll come up to me these men are come up to me and they'll see me with $20,000 worth of chains on They'll see me get out of a $300,000 car They'll see me earn seven figures and then they sitting there struggling and they say well, how you did that? Oh, I thought you was a simp. How you did that? I say boy. I'm a tech entrepreneur. I own tech companies. I say boy. I got my own software online You hit me. I say boy. I build business. I got 13 businesses Boy, I got over 50 streams of income. I'm probably at 65 now I stopped counting at 53 streams of income I say boy, and you know why I did that because I learned how to love a woman Because I understand that a man's right of passage is to love a woman purely In my eyes, you are not a man until you learn how to love a woman without controlling her without deceiving her Without manipulating her without dominating her without cheating on her. That's when you become a man So y'all ladies forgive me for flexing the night forgive me for flexing the night, but For the grown boys, I just want y'all to understand this because all you speak is money But tell me why if I'm a simp, tell me why I bought 10 cars in a pandemic if I'm a simp Tell me why I bought my dad a mozzarella Tell me why I bought my mama a 2020 Mercedes Benz and put her in a house Tell me why I bought my sister a Mercedes Benz and bought my my security guard a gmc Sierra 1500 in the same day if I'm a grown boy Tell me why So all y'all grown boys is motivated by money.

If you want to go business for business, we could do it We could do it. Tell me why I became a best-selling author In my early 20s. Tell me why I speak on three continents Tell me why I became an intercontinental speaker before the age of 30.  How that make you less than a man.  See Go find the so-called alpha male And tell me one Ladies that you think is cute inside or out That's why they mad They mad because they were bullied. Tell me why There as a football player Running backs average five yards a carry But I average 10.2 yards a carry Tell me why I got a full football scholarship to college to at a college that don't even give full scholarships Tell me why See you ain't been on both sides of it.  See the reason why grown boy The reason why you broke busted and disgusted you can make six figures and you ain't touching 10 percent Or what you could have because your mind trapped in the mindset of looking at a woman as your opponent You looking as a woman at your woman as your Opposition you looking as a at a woman as though she is less than you You don't understand what submission means See you don't have a mission But you want a woman to be in submission to you use a lost man Use a lost boy Posing as a man use a boy in a grown man's body You weaken you lost and you hearing from the adversary you hearing from satan himself And the reason why you hearing that way is because you don't understand the bigger picture You don't understand that you have The power in your hand to build up or to tear down And you don't understand let me turn the comments off because we don't need to talk right now Because we got people that's confused and stuff and we ain't trying to Man bash or nothing all that this right here. This is just real talk and I ain't taking no question I know I said q&a, but let me talk to the grown boys Let me talk to the real simps who calling me a simp. See what you don't understand Is that the adversary wants you to see a woman as less than She want you to see he wants you to see her as less than so that you can debase her and demean her And when you do that you confuse your children You confuse your daughter because your daughter want to grow up and be powerful Your daughter want to grow up and have a voice your daughter want to grow up and have agency in her life Your daughter want to grow up and not have to depend on a man But because you see your woman as less than you your daughter grows up and she don't know her worth So she goes into a relationship and she get beaten on she get teet on Because she saw her daddy so called call himself a alpha man and thought that mean that if he a alpha man He got to put his woman down that his woman don't get no say so in his business adventure in his business endeavors That his woman don't get no say so in areas that he feel like it's only authorized territory for a man And don't understand he forget that he come out of a woman He forget that a woman carried him for nine or ten months He forget that a woman put her breast in his mouth and fed him He forget that when his daddy ran out on him his mama was there who held him up His mama was there who encouraged them so so called alpha man You forget the value of a woman that raised you you forget the value of a woman But see as a real man as a real man who earned millions of dollars since you think every man who loved and honored His wife is broke as a man who earned millions of dollars I understand the value of a woman and I understand that she's an asset and not a lot of not a liability I understand that she can help me be ill or she could tear down But I understand that if she want to tear down She gonna want to tear down if I tear her down and I understand that she could slip my throat in my sleep I understand that she could embellish her money I understand that she could steal from me if I make her feel like she less than But if I treat her like a queen instead of like a handmade like how you talk about women If I treat her like a queen if she won't she don't want to tear down the castle that she come to live in She don't want to tear down the castle that she helped build brick by brick Because she understand that she's an equal partner in this adventure. We call life She understand that she is equal and not less than She understand that weaker than a weaker vessel does not mean that it's my right to demean her and to degrade her But instead to uplift her to build her up to encourage her to inspire her and to allow her to Let her keep her agency instead of trying to deceive and manipulate her See she understand that if I win she win that if she win I win She understand that we teammates and we not opponents and all she want to do is Make sure that she's an asset because she realizes that I see her as an asset That I value her mind in the boardroom in the bedroom in the on the basketball court On the soccer field in front of the TV in the church house in the school house She realizes that she understands that I value her and Because of that she's a she's able to operate in her fullness as her highest self And that is when I get to see the majesty of God That is when I get to see what fearful and wonderfully created truly means That is when I get to see a woman in her true essence And that is when her value is brought to the table and we able to multiply instead of divide See what you so-called alpha men don't understand is that you're dividing and conquering in your own household Because you think you better than your woman because you think you smarter than your woman because you think that Being the head mean you call the shots and she got to deal with it But then when the ship start to sink when you suffer from ED when you have a stroke When you have a heart attack when you go broke when you lose the money in the Illet vies investments investments that you made because you call yourself a man and didn't want to hear her Intelligence didn't want to hear her mindset when you lose your money in them illet vies Investments now you won't hurt a worker job and hold you up now You won't hurt a float you some money now You won't hurt a carry you because you so-called alpha male and you demean her and didn't allow her to use her righteous mind For herself and on your behalf because if she in the kingdom if she in the castle she wanted to flourish She's not in the castle to bring about a famine She in the castle to make sure that it flourishes But you have to honor and respect and love your woman see her as your equal I'm the head of the household But my wife is also the head of the household because we submit one to another So if I want to call a shot and my wife don't agree with that shot Then guess what if I call the shot and she's not in agreeance then everything I do is Hinder because we not on one accord a house divided cannot stand But what it's my job to do as a real man is choose a woman who is a real woman and choose this woman Not for her beauty or her booty, but to choose this woman for her heart for her mind for her Intangibles not her tangibles the intangibles that she bring to the table and to understand that this woman can not only Bring a table to the table, but she could build the table and when you honor and you respect the woman on that level That's when you experience true life So to the grown boys who call yourself alpha man who called me a self What you want to compare Peace I know you ain't happy with me I know you ain't happy with me because you ain't got no you ain't got a queen that you could lie down next to and you Know why you don't have a queen because you see her as a handmaid you see her as a concubine You have stolen her queen ship. So I know you ain't peaceful as me. I know you ain't joyful as me I know you ain't happy as me. I know you're not as blessed as me. What do you want to compare assets my portfolio diversified? What what you want? I got ETFs. I got IRAs. I got stocks. I own Tesla starbucks. I just bought Palantir at eight dollars and ninety cent. It's it's almost thirty dollars today So what you want to compare? We're in business alpha male. Are you out doing me? I Got 13 company. How many you got I got 50 plus streams of income. How many so tell me where I'm losing that But for allowing my wife For me not trying to steal my wife's voice. Tell me where I'm losing.   I cannot see she know things I do not know my wife got a master's degree even if she didn't have a master's degree She got a PhD in life. She got a PhD in common sense Biomedical science she reads 600 words a minute. She read and comprehend the whole book before I even got through the forward You see what I'm telling you some of my best creations my first book my wife invested in now I'm an author of 17 books and I stopped counting so I might be at 25. I Signed a six-figure book deal With a agent who came and found me and I and I packaged the whole deal. I titled the book. I wrote the book I Did the marketing plan With a with a top five publisher Simon and Schuster I did the work that they were supposed to do so tell me how I'm weak in the board room in the business room when I'm winning on every level and I'm gonna tell you why It's because I tapped into God's promise That when you find a wife you find a good thing and you receive favor from the Lord. Guess what? You can go get a doctorate and it can't match God's favor You could go get certified in everything you want to be certified and it won't match God's favor My wife said to me this year She said baby you made a million dollars in eight months Working from home with no style that needs to be taught She say teach that For the man that feel like you got to have an office space and you got to have 30 staff to be a millionaire She say teach them what you did. I said baby They're not ready because they think manhood means being a player. They think manhood They think being good in business means disrespecting women They think manhood and being good in business mean calling themselves Miqtaw and alpha male and red pill I say so they're not ready to understand the keys to success that I have discovered They're not gonna understand how I earn two hundred thousand dollars in a week. They're not working from home They're not ready to understand that because they don't understand what I tapped into and what I channel because I have love Men say what's your greatest asset love? Because love is the greatest gift given to mankind love When you read a real book you read thinking grow rich by Napoleon Hill He'll tell you the power of a woman. He talked about sexual transmutation He talked about when you inspired by your woman He talked about the inspiration of a woman is what have made thousands and thousands of men millionaires But see you broke busted and disgusted Living paycheck to paycheck because you calling because you calling yourself an alpha male So you operating from a limited state of mind you operate from a reduced state of manhood because until you unlock love You have not unlocked the fullness of your heart and mind So understand what I'm telling you What you want to look at bank accounts? Stop portfolios Retirement account what you want to see since you call yourself a real man Where you want where you want to be at any man who come to me any man who come to me? Little boy today young boy today. He says sir. What do you do? He said I've never seen a Bentley like this. He says sir. What at this gas station? What do you do because I want to have one one day myself? I love my wife. I Tapped in the law. I became a real man. I don't drink to get drunk I don't curse because you can't mix profanity with The sacred you can't mix the profane with the sacred. So I don't use perk curse words I don't watch pornography. I don't masturbate. I don't gamble See when I remove devices from my life. That's crippling you so-called alpha men That's when I elevate it but in order to do that that's self-love Self-love is the highest form of love It's above loving someone else because in order to truly love someone else you got a fully love yourself But see what you understand about real love is not real love is not just Loving in a way that you allow someone to take advantage of you real love means self love means that you hold the people you love Accountable it means that my wife don't get over on me My wife don't take advantage of me my wife ain't got me whipped my wife don't use me I'm a man in every sense of the word But I don't have to twist my wife arm to call a shot in my household because I've established trust I've established real love. I've established respect and that's what the men of this society is Missing if there's a network BET VH1 if one of y'all executives watching this Tell me what it a cost for me to air this on your on your station For an hour and I and I cut the check I wired to you because the reason why we losing is Because a so-called alpha men because they breaking down the household They destroying the household because they're demeaning a woman and then trying to raise children the reason why black men in General are losing is because we don't respect our women.  I'm talking about man to man We don't respect our woman. We cheat on her. We demean her. We debase her.  I mean electronic Tesla trucks driving themselves But yet you don't talk your woman in the going to get 10 trucks and trying to find 10 drivers and You broke busted and discussed it so your truck cost $20,000 So you spending more money in maintenance than you will making money everything you making going back out But if you were to sat and listen to your to your woman, she would have said that's not the right move right now She would have said the industry moving somewhere else She would have said instead of you buying trucks You could be a dispatcher for the people who still buying trucks Still do you take it on that overhead? She would have gave you another plan She would have helped you strategize because she read different. She think different.   So tonight. This is a public service announcement.  This ain't about being weak Loving a woman has nothing to do with weakness because love takes strength Honor and respect and a woman has nothing to do with weakness because that takes strength because it requires That you have discipline it requires that you have self-respect.  Yeah, I was on a job working for somebody else make a 20,000 a year Give another 10,000 from a college refund check Then I got and started making 40,000 in my business Then I messed around and touched 150,000 in my business But I still was not valuing my woman on the level that she should be valued But when I started to value her and I created a safe space to where she could be open and honest with me When she could tell me when she could speak truth to power because she know I could be powerful But in order to be powerful I first have to submit the God and I got to surrender my ego I got to let it go and in order for me to be powerful I have to be willing to listen and when I listen to my woman and she speak truth to power and she say This is what I see she say here is your gifts.  She don't even have the confidence to call shots because you have debased her and you have to mean her So what I do know about business I teach it to my wife what I do or know about the world I teach it to my wife what she knows more about life than me. She teaches it to me She didn't talk me so much so it elevated me So now my wife she understands how to earn a living in your sleep She understands by the stroke of a key she can make millions of dollars a year because I show her that and I show her that because she's my equal and I show her that because I have assets But I also need her assets. So she is my board. She is my teammate.  She feels different. She experiences the world differently So when you allow her to keep her voice instead of stripping her of her voice She makes you better and that is why that is why the men who know That when you release your ego When you let go of this macho act that you trying to keep up That's why those men are the men winning on the level that they supposed to win on I can win on a whole nother level if I wanted to but I'm okay earning a few million dollars a year I'm okay with that because because I was able to buy my whole family cause this year When a lot of people is going through and they struggling and I'm praying for them Guess what? I was able to do from my income this year. I was able to give $230,000 cash money to people in need Now let me talk to you out for male were you able to give 230,000 now see I don't talk about this I don't share this but since this is the language that y'all speak since all y'all speak is currency But you don't understand that your real currency is your character your character is your currency Not what's in your bank account because if I take what's in your bank account and you don't have character You can't get it back But if you strip me of everything I can get it all back because I have character Because I understand how to be a decent human being and I understand that the other Version of a human being which is the woman Is not less than me but she's equal to me and because I understand that I understand decency in my humaneness so therefore I understand how to speak to the universe and Call those things that be not to as though they were I know how to speak things into Existence I know how to tap into universal laws because I understand that what God created Me to come out of I come from a woman I Would not be here had not a woman carried me for ten months and that's what you got to understand grown boy That's what you got to understand so called alpha male It ain't no way in no area in no form of the book in no letter Are you more of a man than me because you did mean your woman and don't allow her to have a voice and a Mind and the call shots Because you won't marry her and be 100% faithful to her because you cheating on her on the Facebook inbox because you got fake accounts on plenty of sharks and Dumbled Because you got fake accounts on here online dating because you're cheating in the Instagram DM because you're cheating physically And that's why your third leg is is burning because you're nasty because you think this woman less than so you juggling her With other women and that's why you're losing Because you can't settle blade of grass on fire if you keep moving the magnifying glass But see when you magnify your woman you set her on fire and when you set this woman on fire She is brought to life. She comes to life and she gives you her energy She put it on you in every sense of the word and I'm just talking about the bedroom But she brings everything that she is to you and that's why I'm winning Because I understand the value of my wife Because I understand what real Manhood is because I was a dope boy because I had Weed and guns in my lap because I was in the streets 21 hours out of the 24 and I was losing Now I make four five times an hour what I used to make in a whole week Now what I'm used to make in a year I make ten times that I can make ten times that in a week last week I made ten times what I used to make in a year So you say that because I love my wife I'm not a man and I can't do business if I love her on that level and I cherish her and respect her That's a lie from the pit of hell and that's why your family losing That's why my 13 year old son from the age of fourth grade when they start giving a's and a minuses That's why my 13 year old son and a private school where they are three grade levels ahead Where in the eighth grade they doing the 11th grade work That's why my 13 year old son has never had a a minus because of the household That his father has created it's a safe space So his mother can work with him because that's her strength and that's her guilt I don't have a college degree, but she got a master's degree So my son don't have to stress when he doing his homework straight a's No a minus is the only kid of color doing it. The only boy in his grade doing it That's why he just played two soccer games today scored five goals in the first game in the second game had a shutout His man didn't do nothing. So he in the classroom winning straight a's no a minus And then he in his sports winning. That's why he a three sport athlete.  It's because a Real man is on the throne in his household not a so-called alpha male Not a so-called red peel man not a so-called midtown man.  I could tell that you don't sleep good I could tell that the only thing that define you is money when I could go to broke Go to bed broke and wake up rich because money don't make me.   I'm not operating from mommy wounds I'm not operating from childhood trauma. So she trusts me. She encourages me.  How do you advance your family line by demeaning and debasing your woman by saying that at a certain Point a woman's mind is irrelevant. That's what y'all so called out for me and saying how can your lineage Your family get ahead. How can you? Create generational wealth when it will all be squandered because of the confusion Your son has because he watches you demean his mother So you chasing millions that I don't already made you chasing millions That I could pass down to my son, but he also Understand how to respect and value and cherish your woman He also understand how to uplift his woman and it's okay for her to have a pedestal It's okay for her to have a table. You know what my wife paid was last week from our company $20,000 Was her salary last week?  I still I still pay the bills because what's mine is hers What's hers is mine But what's hers I don't want I wanted to keep it because I'm a man because I'm a real provider Because I'm not an alpha male quote-unquote as y'all call it Use a grown boy. I heard your argument and it's weak. It's too many holes in it But when you could show me more peace When you don't have to call another man out who working on his platform who plowing in the fields When you ain't got time to speak another man name, that's when I know you own the something That's why you don't hear me say another man name Because I'm too busy working.  Come on now Y'all better get life. Hey, this Tony gaskin the spirit just left put this on your Facebook Tell her alpha male to come see me No, I ain't got time to argue with you on Zoom because I don't argue with fools because my life is the proof in the pudding My life is the proof in the pudding in every aspect financially spiritually Emotionally mentally watch these videos that I do watch these videos. Tell me how I could talk for an hour Without notes every single day. It's the wisdom of God. Tell me how I could give you Point after point for longer than an hour with no teleprompter with no car It's the wisdom of God because I've tapped into a level of clarity that comes from Tapping into the highest level of self which only is Unlocked through self-love and loving a woman purely When you learn how to love a woman purely Without controlling her without Disrespecting her without demeaning her without debasing her without cheating on her without Abusing her mentally physically or verbally financially Socially when you learn how to love a woman on that level when your goal is to shower her with love Today I spent $11,000 on my wife on gifts that she did not ask for and No, it's not about material things, but I got it. So I spent it and you know why I did it because she already has Everything that money cannot buy She got loving and respectful children She got a loving and faithful husband Yes, I have made mistakes in my life as a man I don't trip and fail, but I didn't wallow in my mistakes. I got up I brushed myself off. I took a lesson from the loss So the loss was no longer a loss because it came a lesson and then I leveled up and then I won And then when I won I multiply and then I taught it to everybody else That's why on Tony Gaskin's Academy. We have over 30,000 students. That's why this year alone I have certified over a thousand new life coaches That's why I created my mentor.life my creation my mind it runs by itself We don't have a style for the the profit rate the profit margin of my mentor.life is 94% profit And it goes the money going to a bank account that I don't have to touch But it comes from a level of clarity So that's why when you go to Gaskin's University.com And you go to Tony Gaskin's Academy.com and you go to my mentor.life.com And you go to Tony Gaskin's.com when you go to this digital real estate the digital asset that I have created From a space of peace From a space of harmony because I don't have to worry about a woman coming out tomorrow and saying I've been in an affair with Tony Gaskin for the last five years and my wife leaving me and taking half I don't have I don't have a prenup because all I need is genuine and pure love The mistakes I've made in my marriage my wife already know about them the mistakes she made I know about them Our in-house business is our in-house business and we treat our relationship like a house. That's why the doles lock That's why you don't see her posting pictures every single day That's why my wife don't be on here on in on on youtube because she say that's not my calling and I don't want no parts of it That's what you call too.  They college already secure. They future already secure Because I'm in a space That a man only realizes when he learns how to value and respect The asset that god put right beside you.  I could buy you If the government will sell human I got enough to buy you So-called alpha male So where we at where we comparing at so when you want to sit down Man to man no cameras and you want to compare notes and you want to see who more blessed and highly favor Because of the level that we done tapped into we could do it We could do it any day because I done slept with three women in a day I done been a doll I done been now I done had street money. I done had street justice It don't compare To the bliss to the peace to the health to the wealth You can't offer me more money than I have to go back to the man that I was You can't offer me a billion dollars. You know why cuz I already know I'm gonna make a billion dollars Because I got the blueprint to success because I'm honoring the woman that God has put in my life Her way Is my highway. I ain't scared to say it alpha alpha alpha man Want to turn that into something weak what that mean is is that I respect my wife's mind What that mean is is I don't strip her Of her agency to call shots In this household because she is a human with a heart and a mind And so I value her so we could sit down like adults and we could hash things out And I could say this is how I think this is how I feel. How do you think and feel? Okay, to that point I make this point What point do you have and we can go back and forth and then we devise a plan together And we come and we are on one accord and then we make shots That's why I say my wife is also the head because I don't make a move unless she's on board because I can't move If we don't move as one Because that would be self-defeating Hey, this Tony Gaskin God bless you. Watch this again. Shout this on your facebook. Get it to a grown boy He gonna watch it because he broke him. He gonna watch it because he hurt him He gonna watch it because he lost they sent me videos of grown boys I don't watch more than a minute because I'm already whole I don't care about what another man got to say about me. I care about his soul I know he lost because pain recognized pain I know it. I done been there. I done been a punk. I done been a chump I done been a simp. This ain't simp hood over here this manhood over here So I know what pain look like. I know what it looked like to be a grown boy Parading and masquerading as a man. I see it in your eyes. I know you weak I know you cry about your childhood. I know you got childhood trauma That's why you take it upon yourself to attack a man who has become something that you have not become Who has something that you do not have and that's true support That's a platform that is god-given.  She's gonna see a driven.   You will always be a pawn. You will always be a chump. You will always be lost Hey, that's Tony gaskin. I got the goal.


Citation rates and journal impact factor are the most widely used measures of influence in the academic world, but true impact extends well beyond the sphere of research. While quantifying this influence has remained incredibly challenging, social media and the alternative metrics it supplies are beginning to change that. In a new study reported in the American Journal of Sports Medicine, researchers looked at how these altmetrics correlate with traditional measures of impact in the field of orthopedics. Their findings point to the types of studies and publication venues that attain the greatest reach. The authors of the study analyzed 496 articles published across five high-impact journals in 2016. The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Clinical Orthopedics and Related Research, ACTA Orthopedica, Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, and the American Journal of Sports Medicine. They looked at a mixture of ordinary characteristics such as study subject and design, country of origin, and citation and social media characteristics, such as numbers of shares on Twitter and Facebook, and altmetric attention score. The score, compiled and tracked by the company Altmetric, captures the spread of research on social media platforms. Articles had an average altmetric attention score of just over eight, with a maximum of 501, and an average citation rate of 15, with a maximum of 178. Human analysis revealed two important trends. High altmetric scores significantly predicted high citation rates, and high citation rates independently predicted greater social media attention on Twitter, Facebook, and the news. The team's work also indicated the types of orthopedics articles that garnered the most attention. These included studies concerning measure validation or reliability, publications from North America, and articles published in the American Journal of Sports Medicine. Of course, more work is needed. Going through the many more than five journals that publish on orthopedics could paint a clearer picture of impact across the entire field, and that's crucial. Understanding the anatomy of high-impact studies could prove instructive to journals and researchers alike.

Hi everyone, this is Dr. Ruscio. I'm here with Mark who has had some nice results after reading Health and Good Health U and he's here today to share his story with us. So Mark, welcome. Hi, thank you. Tell us a little bit about before Health and Good Health U because I like to give people a synopsis of kind of the road up. What were your symptoms? What had you maybe been tinkering with? What did that all look like? Yeah, sure. And so it started about seven years ago and I was living in Hong Kong and I was going through quite a lot of stress at the time. I ate a really, really bad diet looking back and terrified how bad it used to be. Just as an example, I used to post gym workout down a liter of chocolate milk thinking it's a lot of protein and I'd be fine. Being a skinny guy, it wasn't really a big deal to me. I didn't put weight on so I thought it wasn't doing me any harm but it obviously was. So I think the mixture of stress, terrible diet and maybe living in a region of the world where the quality of water and the level of cleanliness of the water that is fine for people that have grown up around that but as a foreigner coming in, it probably wasn't so good for me. I started to get just discomfort initially and a bit of tightness in the throat and discomfort and over a period of weeks, I thought it'll go soon, it'll go soon and it didn't. It started to get a little bit worse. It started to see my GP, my doctor and they just gave me some basic recommendation saying just wait a little bit longer, maybe try to relax, that kind of stuff. Nothing helped and it got gradually worse. So there was indigestion as well as feeling a pet in the throat? If I ate something such as, I don't know if you have wheat to picks in the US but if you ate like a heavy wheat cereal with lots of milk or something like that maybe for a day or so I get tightness here but the main symptom was just general discomfort and like a gnawing feeling in the stomach and some cramps in the morning or maybe at night and I think that messed with my head a little bit as well. It caused a little bit of confusion and brain fog which caused me problems at work and these are all a bait in the common go right so it's very difficult and frustrating to describe to a doctor sometimes especially when it's the general practitioner usually just thinking he's stressed and he's not been eating very well. So over the next three or four years really I tried loads of different stuff so I started off doing the basic things like just getting off the shelf probiotics and trying to change my diet, eating a little bit more healthily, exercising, meditation. The one thing that did work for about a year and a half maybe two years was following the FODMAP diet and that did initially work but then towards the end of that two years it started to tail off so I started to avoid alcohol and I tried what else did I do? The most extreme thing I tried was FMT under supervision of a gastroenterologist and also didn't work and it was really bad results for me actually is really really horrible experience. There's a good thing I just want to piggyback on really quick because one of the things that some patients will think is that FMT is the best most powerful therapy that can be used for your gut. Understandably so partially because it's pretty invasive the other because it's a new therapy and sometimes we conflate new with better or good and I routinely advise patients to leave FMT because it is a viable option to the very end of the kind of treatment road for the very reasons I describe it. It was a really weird experience for me. I read a lot about it and I thought a lot about it beforehand and I've got an engineering science background so I like to read up on as many papers that are freely available as possible but the experience I had was I felt extremely ill. I tried three to four times and after each one I felt like I just wanted to curl up into a ball and die. It was really really horrible experience but that could have been the donor that I was using and I was recommended to go with my wife as the person I was most in closest proximity to. By that point I then just reverted back to a semi FODMAP diet and just just hoped for the days where I felt healthier and it was common to despair because you're feeling extremely sick and it's quite debilitating. I felt an effect on my mind as well and I had a hard job. I then got a chance with a group of people weirdly in the US in Colorado and they recommended your name and one other that suddenly lost me. If I remember I'll mention it before the video is up but they mentioned your name and I started to listen to one or two of your podcasts and the short podcast sort of quite easily digestible and then I got your book I read it on Kindle and I devoured it in about a week in a bit and it was great because it had loads of the stuff I was familiar with that I read about in different papers and things like that but I just tried them on their own I just tried them piecemeal and yeah it brings some benefits like for example I found doing a 36 hour 72 hour fast helped but then I'd go right back into eating a relatively high carb diet and not doing anything else to follow up on it and just hoping that that would be the one-off fix and whereas putting into a framework really really did work for me but I needed to follow all of it and I went through certain parts of the great innate processing I did them maybe two yeah two times especially the earlier stuff and yeah it was a slow going process for me as well I was hoping I was telling myself when I finished the book I don't know four five months I'll be done and I'll be fixed but it took me a year and I really had to persist and I think if I'd not hit such lows and if I'd not hit rock bottom I wouldn't have had the perseverance to sort of stick with it or ignore all the truth and so I think that's one of my things that I do recommend your book to a lot of people it's one of the things I say is the first step is the the fast and if you're put off by doing a five day fast then you've not hit rock bottom yet because it really has to be that terrible for you to be motivated enough to do it and honestly the fast wasn't anywhere near as fast as I thought it would be the modified fasting really isn't too hard because you do have a source of calories just to clarify for people it's not exclusive fast you do have the option of either bone broth or if you master this kind of solution for two to four days you can go longer if you want let's jump really quick to where you are now are all the symptoms gone and then let's come back to what the road to healthy guy healthy you look like so since finishing um I'd say I wrapped it up fully um september last year and I didn't be my wife I both not wanted to sort of count our chickens really and but it's been fine until maybe about a month ago and it started to come back a little bit so I've now got like a like a lump in my throat kind of sensation um but other than that no gut issues like I'm like they used to be and no brain fogs coming back so to I've been part of my time to sort of start taking more seriously again but um yeah my this lump in my throat is back a little bit but it's not a big deal and so I'm now going back through the so maybe seven years of this indigestion gas and this kind of connected brain fog so seven years and about a year that has now been resolved and you've maintained that other than maybe a slight regression of the lump in the throat which you're now going to start tinkering to address is that a fair encapsulation exactly um that's exactly right and I'm not despairing this time because I feel I've got this structure to work through and the symptoms I have this time are far more mild um and I feel confident that I don't have to go through all the eight steps this time but if I do I will um it's worth it you know um there's there's a path for me to follow which will resolve this and it's not that much for problems to be honest um I think one important thing that that that looking back was being quite making sure that I was being quite honest with myself about about my diet and my relationships with food like I said I'm a skinny guy so I kind of don't worry about what food I eat I didn't used to worry about what food I eat what food I used to eat and but I did I did terribly I did terribly and and I never really took responsibility for that it's one of the maybe the liabilities of being thin is you feel you can get away with a lot more which I actually fell into that that same category but for me it was predominantly neurological um that I would notice it was more food reactive brain fog and took me a little while to also associate I can kind of eat whatever I want and my body composition won't change but I'll feel it more so in my head which to me is one of the most debilitating symptoms so I I feel your pain there but I'm glad you were able to kind of connect those dots as and you'll learn that with a FODMAP like you're saying with going through the initial phase of the healthy good healthy protocol did any other dietary realizations occur any of the dietary realizations I think from doing the recommended fast that you had in the book did did help me exercise more self-control over what food I did and didn't eat um and then after that and following the paleo diet I don't know if this is normal or not but I really felt like once I was properly into the paleo diet I stopped craving food oh yeah that's very commonly reported yeah it's quite strange because I mean even normally now and the past year if someone's eating I know a bit of delicious looking cake and I know it's not got any weight in there I'll maybe have some you know whereas on on the paleo diet when I really stick to it I I didn't really crave anything I can watch people eat a delicious snack in front of me and just pass it's a great feeling isn't it yeah it was it was it's like real control and if you know that the diet is causing the problem in the first place to know that you don't need to do it it helps you get on this virtuous cycle you know and so that was a that was a cool insight around diet um one one thing that didn't work for me diet dietary wise was um I think it's the seventh step I can't remember and increasing the fiber intake and that that didn't have the desired effect for me and and didn't mess with my gut much but the brain fog was really quite intense so I I tried that a few times and then tried to do it in very small amounts but as soon as I got to over a teaspoon a day again it it caused me problems I'm glad you mentioned that because there are you know there are some camps on the internet that um are really all about optimizing dietary fiber intake which is all fine and good you know itself but for some people trying to optimize fiber intake or really maximize I should say fiber intake doesn't go well for their gut and that's where kind of the zooming out and kind of connected to a point you said earlier you have all these different things that you've read about but healthy good health you finally put them into an organized structure to help you see well I did this that helped I did this that helps I went to the higher fiber that didn't help I isolated that variable I tried it a few times now I clearly can see that higher fiber intake doesn't work for me and I think part of the thing that makes it so hard for people to finally feel also like you said like they're a little bit empowered or not worried about having a mini regression is needing to have learned along that road what works for you and what doesn't work for you and that's that's part of the rationale behind instead of doing it every step kind of all at once and throwing the kitchen sink at you we break it down into steps so you can learn what works for your system and what doesn't work for your system and then you're empowered when you do have a regression to say okay this is what really worked well for me over the past several months I've been feeling better I've kind of been loosening things up but now I know where to go back to in order to feel better anything analogy I use for people who sometimes frame this the wrong way like oh is there something wrong with my gut and I'm always going to have to do this not really I oftentimes parallel a musculoskeletal analogy like if you had a really bad let's say a hamstring in college you may temporarily need to go back to some of your stretches and exercises to rebalance some of that musculature doesn't mean anything is wrong it just means here's something that you need to give a little bit of attention to periodically and then everything's fine yeah that's exactly how it feels the analogy used with having a sprain or an injury like a physical injury on the joint or something it does kind of feel like that like you know it's still maybe there you just need to give it a bit of attention and get it back to normal again okay and I think you did a one more one more insight that I gained through your book from around diets was I've realized if I'd spoken to myself 10 years ago and said hey look you're gonna have to completely change your diet I don't think the old mark couldn't have done it and and I think just through doing it slowly and doing these different things and starting with the fast and then doing these sort of slow increments it definitely changes my relationship to food and real I now realize it's all just a habit so foods that I shouldn't eat like high fiber foods or a lot of food in my diet it's just through habit I now no longer crave them so learning all these little things like avoid too much fiber or more than two copies a day isn't great for my go and that will start to put me on a downward spiral after a while I stopped craving that stuff anyway and it's just I just learn to not crave stuff and it's not pleasant I enjoy my diet just as much as I did 10 years ago I just eat I eat better now that's all yeah it's quite nice to realize yeah if you can learn through the process it's funny how once you make some changes even though they you know you may kind of be dragging your feet at first as you start the changes but then as you have a clear mind less symptoms better energy you start to associate the new foods to the new feelings and it really kind of D programs of cravings that you had prior because you now start to see the association between those foods and feeling poorly and it really does kind of dampen the cravings for those who just as well as when you're physiologically healthier and less inflamed people do seem to crave less which is also another thing that really kind of compounds together so it's almost like as you start getting better you get better and better and better because the cravings abate the cravings stop you from flaring those flareings stop you from having these satiation problems where one of the analogies or examples I've used is sometimes when people are tired or they have brain fog they think they should eat to improve their energy and improve their mental clarity whereas that's probably because they're inflamed the inflammation is causing those symptoms and there's some weird reflexive mechanism in the body where we sometimes want to try to eat our way out of a problem and that can even make the problem worse so I'm glad that you've kind of those thoughts it's kind of like you know teaching you to fish rather than giving you a fish um what else with other aspects um probiotics antimicrobials omicrobial anything else there they really seem to help you it's the fast that the paleo and then following the the regimen so I went through all the stages right so it's a while ago now coming to a year but I guess it was the um the extracts and the the the herbal supplements yep the herb alliance microbials yeah so I followed all that um and that wasn't always easy but because it was cyclical and you moved into different things after a few weeks it was fine it was fine I went through that stuff twice um I don't think I'll learn anything from those specifically um but I am glad I did I took that route as opposed to what I tried in in previous years which was searching online for a regimen of antibiotics mega doses and going to a general practitioner and saying I'd like to do this please and that was hard so that it was a little bit more of a softly softly approach over a longer period and I I preferred that and I guess maybe yeah maybe one thing other thing I learned was that because there's so many stages because I knew it was going to take a while to start to view my stomach as something that will take time to heal and it will take time to improve and it's a slow deliberate process I'm going through as opposed to looking for quick fixes no question there for you um did you notice I'm hoping you noticed that even though it's relatively slow meaning if we're looking at um taking an Advil sure you'll feel better in 20 minutes um and this was a number of months in your case but I'm assuming that every month there was a degree of improvement so that even though it was a longer road you felt like you were seeing some improvement along the way helping to keep you engaged in motivated is that fair or was your road a little different I felt yeah it's a really good question I felt I made gradual improvements and through the early the early stages especially the first four or five stages especially um but I felt that it all started to really come together towards the end and all I can really put my finger on is that I started to put bring in more obvious um more obvious steps to just basic self-discipline like not eating at 10 p.m before I go to bed um being a little bit more disciplined with uh taking digestive and times after a meal right um those kind of things I think helped compound it and I think in the background I guess my gut health was improving anyway and maybe like you said when things are getting better you become you become more on top of your game anyway and then it's a virtuous cycle so so I felt it was very much like an exponential kind of increased improvement and I just had to and I didn't really move to the next step until I felt I'd made a noticeable improvement even if it's just five 10 improvement otherwise I did it again and carry on well that's good to hear because you know there's different trajectories some people improve a lot out of the gate and then it's a slower road to the rest of the way they probably have the easier road but then there are some that's a little bit of a slower bill the next financial at the end and it's important just to identify these patterns so that people don't feel like what's happening to them is abnormal right and I was actually more like yourself where after I resolved the parasitic issue that I had it was kind of slow slow and then I looked back to my life a few months prior and said wow there was no way I could have been in classes all day come home went to the gym come home and and studied I would have needed at least two naps during the day prior and I didn't realize it until three months later or so I was doing all that stuff with no nap and just great energy all the way through so good to identify these patterns to help people feel like they they fit into some sort of camp to help them keep on the plan yeah I see that's interesting well mark is there is there anything else you want to share people this has been great I'm super appreciative of this because people really do benefit from these we get such great feedback on the sharing of

content you have was fantastic so thank you awesome yeah you're welcome I mean these exact stories are really the wind in our sails keep us motivated because I've been in your position I know how awful I felt and how I would have done anything not to feel that brain fog and the fatigue and everything else you know what a gift to feel well we take it for granted sometimes that you know I'm just walking down the street and I have normal energy and normal cognition as opposed to oh I feel bloated or painful or foggy like I'm disengaged or goofy when you don't have that you realize how much we take it for granted how much of a gift health really is so it really makes it worth it so really you're feeling better thank you for the compliment and thank you again for sharing your story thank

what you do when no one is watching is really important. Keep watching to find out what book i'm reading this week and why you have to pay attention to who's watching. Yeah it's Kyla Danagno and welcome to Kyla's Reading Day. So this week i read a book called When No One Is Watching. The book was written by Alyssa Cole. It's a fiction novel and the theme or topic was suspense thriller. So there will be spoilers. It's a book review. But one of the biggest twists, shifts, turns, whatever you want to say was when Theo came out wearing the Black Lives Matter shirt and Sydney was like please take that off. You gotta take that off. Please, please, please. So that was important because Theo was white, Sydney is black and he was wearing the shirt to show his support. One of the kids in the neighborhood was getting harassed by police and so he was wearing the shirt. He just thought he was being an ally and we appreciate allies of black people. We do. How some ever the Black Lives Matter shirt was just not the right time. It was drawing attention to Theo in a negative way. My sweatshirt black is a vibe. It stands for black clothing but really it's talking about black people.  Almost even ironic. But it's those kind of things right? You're already here. You're showing that you're involved. You're attending community meetings. The Black Lives Matter shirt. We don't we don't need it. We don't need it. Please take that off. She was like I need you to change your clothes right now. So I love that part. I thought that was great. So why that was important to me is because I have had a lot of people who are not black. So that includes people of color.  I appreciate it. I love it. It's great and there are some people who try and they don't know what to do. So I remember summer 2020 and I was pregnant preparing to have my daughter when a lot of stuff was happening and all the Black Lives Matters protests and things like that. And I saw a message where someone was like some people support by donating financially. Some people support with their time. Some people support by protesting. Basically there are different ways to show your support and that was how I felt while reading the book. I was like wow I appreciated that Theo was trying to be an ally and Sydney was honest with him and told him we don't need that right now. Just just continue being an ally and showing up. You don't need to wear the merchandise right?  It's different. Black would a capital B. It's different. This book was deep. I mean my husband and I are trying to buy a house so the book had to deal with gentrifying neighborhoods and institutionalizing black people getting them addicted to drugs so that you can buy their properties and oh it was hitting just so close to home while I'm struggling trying to find a house. So I would not reread the book because I'm not gonna forget it and it's just not. It was a good thriller but most thrillers I don't need to reread because I was scared when I read it and I'm like okay um so no I wouldn't reread it but it wasn't great but it was a really good book. So thank you for hanging out with me at Kyla's Reading Day. Today we talked about the book When No One Is Watching by Alyssa Cole. Drop me a comment. Let me know if you've read this book or if you've read any other suspenseful or thriller books this week. I will see you next week on Kyla's Reading Day. Bye.
