How I Made $50K From Brand Deals | Realistic Week In My Life

Added: 2026-05-22

[00:00:08]I got money and change.

[00:00:12]>> I got girls ain't strange.

[00:00:15]>> Not to mention I don't do the tension.

[00:00:18]When I'm in your hands, I'll be the entrance and I don't need no guest list.

[00:00:23]When I pull up to the palace.

[00:00:25]>> Yo, what is up? Welcome back to another vlog. Um, I hope you guys are doing well. And as you guys can see by the title, we are 100% in grind mode focus getting things done. And as you guys have heard, like over these past like just the start of the year, I've been wanting to expand my personal brand more into tech. I've done the Ray Neo glasses, the Insta 360, and a couple other like tech campaigns, which it's been phenomenal because I want to continue to grow and I want to continue to challenge myself to do new things, open up more opportunities, open up more like revenue streams because lifestyle stuff is cool, but also tech, I'm not going to lie, it pays a lot better. As you guys can see over here, Libernova, this was a chair company that I worked with um back, I believe, like the tail end of last year. Super cool. But this chair that I'm currently sitting in, I literally landed a deal with them, too.

[00:01:15]I love this chair. I'm going to consider this tech because I feel like it's a lot of tech that goes into these chairs. But also just more opportunities as far as like headphones right here. You got these Soundcore headphones that literally have like a little screen saver right there. And then you have the other version of them right here too that has like the little sliding screen right there that you can do all the gestures. There's a bunch of opportunities that are literally just unfolding that you guys will see.

[00:01:42]Cleaning tech that you guys will see right here, which this is absolutely cool. And you guys will see um a whole dedicated video on that. And also like in my room, I'm about to shoot a GOI campaign for this floor lamp over here, which this is just like the little default setting. you can see it like basically radiate like the whole room with this like little like wavy color and things like that. And also just today like I have a bunch of different stuff today. I'm actually shooting the um campaign for the GOI TV Backlight 3 which I originally had like the older one and it works perfectly fine but obviously the camera and stuff on this one is a lot smaller. So bam, they sent this over. So, I'm going to be shooting the campaign for this today, which I'll show you guys some behind the scenes.

[00:02:36]And the crazy thing is I'm working with GOI in three different campaigns right now. So, I already posted this one right here. This is the new um well, it's not new. I think it's just a newer version of the floor lamp cuz you can see at the bottom right here, it's got like the little thing at the bottom, which I'll show you the other one over there. It's the older one and it looks completely different. So, this one right here is the older one. It doesn't have anything at the bottom. It's just like the little uh the light stick or whatever. But yeah, on today's agenda, I literally am going to be shooting the uh GOI backlight 3, which it shouldn't take me long to shoot it anyways because it's basically just like the setup, calibrating it, and then showing like the vibe. I love working with them and there's just been so many like great opportunities that have fallen in my lap. Like I get to do this cool ass projector, bro. Like this projector is going to be something that's like dope.

[00:03:37]Especially when I have like a backyard and I want to like play sports games cuz it's centered around like the World Cup.

[00:03:44]But I don't really have like a a huge backyard to set up a projector. So I'm going to be doing it like a garage/man cave type of feel. That's tight. I also got like a a bike that I'm going to be doing. Like I'm just so overwhelmed and so thankful that these opportunities are presenting themselves and I'm able to just keep expanding like my personal brand because at some point like I want to get to the point where annually I'm making like a million dollars from content creation. And the way that I'm going to be able to do that is expanding into tech and getting into these new um fields of work. uh diving into like all the specs, all the different things, but also like I'm not a spec nerd when it comes to like tech. I also just want to bring like the cool lifestyle aspect and make it like relatable. So, it's not just me sitting down and talking about each and every little small detail that's in the product. I want to use it out in real life. And that's what I'm going to try to do with the sound cord video is doing like a day in the life and real life scenarios of me going to use these things and slowly transitioning just out of one type of just lifestyle content just showing like the day in the life but adding in that tech aspect for people who love the tech, people who want to add things to their home to create a vibe. And also like another thing, bro, like the the little blinds and stuff that I have here in my um my living room area. I had to get those like from Amazon like when I first moved in cuz the window size is just it's super weird because the windows so long. It's not the the width of the window, it's the length down.

[00:05:22]It's like 90 in or whatever. But this shades company hit me up a while back and they didn't have like the budget and stuff. and aligned. But they ended up hitting me back up and they were like, "Yo, like we got the budget now." And now like I'm about to have some automatic shades right there to be able to just click and have those roll up cuz it kind of is annoying coming downstairs and doing that when I can just like click a button. And I think they have this little like solar power thing that charges it. Super super cool. As you guys can see, like I'm just super excited. I know we're like 5 minutes into the video, but yeah, I'm just going to be showing you guys like how I'm grinding it out. I literally finished a script this morning um that's looking to get approved by the brand and then be able to move forward with the um lamp that's in my room and shoot that as like a nighttime vibe. I'm pretty sure I may be forgetting something because I got quite a few projects right now, but we grinding out. We about to make this 50 G's. Um cash out and continue to stack stack stack stack stack. And I know like Q3 is going to be crazy. I know Q4 is going to be crazy. And I'm really just locked in to get these long-term partnerships. And I'm talking to a couple of companies. There's this like um what's it called? Company. Damn, I'm blanking right now. Uh electrolytes company. I originally like they want to do like content, but there's also this other liquid like supplement company too that's offering like equity in a company. And to be honest, equity in a company and being able to push it as something that I'm like a part like owner in would be fire. And the electrolyte people, I kind of want to bring them on as just like, yo, instead of me posting videos, like just let me consult with y'all and show y'all the route of how to push the product.

[00:07:07]So, this year it's looking good, but let's jump into the vlog.

[00:07:14]Answer.

[00:07:26]Yeah, she sent me a text. Don't answer her call. She love when I shel her stress. I beat on her walls. She ski on her chest. She kissing my balls.

[00:07:37]I shin easy.

[00:07:44]>> All right. So, I ended up finishing that video, which took longer than expected because I had to calibrate it uh quite a few times just to get the color matching on point. And I had to look at a couple of videos to tilt the camera down a little bit more because even though it calibrates sometimes, whether it's like natural light or something maybe interfering with it, the colors are not matching exactly the way that they need to. And in the brief, they were real specific about everything needed to match uh just to make sure that it's displayed the way that it needs to. So, I finally figured that out. Um got it figured out basically by tilting the camera down a little bit more. It says put it on there 90°, but sometimes that just doesn't work out, I guess, based on the TV that I have. Um, and then after that, me and Audriana went over to this little like cafe, got like a little sandwich, went to Central Market, picked up um some stuff for dinner tonight, which we're going to have Red Snapper, and also we picked up a little cake to celebrate her 10K. She hit that milestone, which is dope. Um, so I'm about to edit this video and I just got the contract for the uh projector that I'm going to be doing. One thing I want to talk about that I feel like I really don't uh talk about much on here is the negotiation skills. So, a lot of these campaigns, like this uh this projector company hit me up earlier in the month, which was only like 11 days ago, and the post has to go live by the 25th or between the 25th and the 1st of June.

[00:09:12]So, that's about like two weeks. So, I still haven't got the product and I got to post it basically like in a week and a half, two weeks. So when things are like that, I always push for the payment terms to be like net 7 or net 14 days basically like on a pay period that most people would be on. And I haven't had any push back, especially working with overseas companies. These companies here in the US, a lot of them like sometimes they'll agree to the net 14 and some of them just kind of want to stick with like a net 30. Net30 is not bad, but at the same time, I feel like if it's something that is like super like rushed, like even I did a campaign with Spotify. Spotify now has like fitness on their like app. If you guys haven't seen that, I posted that the other day, but they hit me up last minute. It was like not a huge budget, but it was something like I'll grab some cash real quick. Um, do it. And it's something to introduce people to. They're on a net 30, but at the same time, it's not that big of a deal because I got like five or six payments that are due like on net 7, net 14. So, as long as I have like a good flow of cash coming in, sometimes I'll accept like the net30s. But anything beyond a net 30, I'm not accepting unless it's like a 100 grand or something like that for a campaign.

[00:10:23]You'll wait that long. But I don't believe in like net 60s and stuff like that anymore because these companies are more than capable of paying within a 7-day time frame, 14-day time frame on a regular payroll they would usually be paying. So, I always push for that. So, if you're a creator, definitely start like just asking these brands like, "Yo, are you guys cool with like a net 14?" A lot of them will do it, especially if if if it's on like a a crunch timeline, which a lot of these campaigns are. I just got hit up again for this like AI stuff that helps people send out stuff for like emails and like the blinds company that I was telling you about.

[00:10:57]All these are like very tight timelines and I'm just negotiating all these deals to basically on June 1st everything just pays out. I think the latest payout's like June 7th or something like that.

[00:11:10]Plus I got like my monthly deals and stuff that I do. But yeah, um I'm literally about to edit this video, cook some dinner tonight, and I'll probably see you guys tomorrow cuz I got more stuff to shoot. Um basically just throughout the entire week and I'm just going to bring you guys along and show you guys literally just behind the scenes of me executing all these campaigns to give you just like raw insight because yeah, people can just be like, "Oh yeah, like content creation, but I'd rather just show you." So this is me going through my regular day getting my stuff done and knocking out these campaigns. So today we got the concept sent over for the lamp inside there. We shot the GOI stuff and I also got to submit the concept for these Soundcore headphones that I have to do a YouTube video for. So three things knocked out in one day. I would say that it's been a really productive day.

[00:12:01]>> I just stay in my lane for fame. I for a living and had a name.

[00:12:08]Work hard for the clown car and watches and chains. Oh man, robots got umbrellas just whip for the rain. [ __ ] the [ __ ] don't let me slip in the game. This [ __ ] let me sh her brain. She know I'm ain't easy to swing on my beat.

[00:12:46]I had to take a brief little pause right here. Dude, I did like two perfect espresso shots this morning. And that means that it's going to be a beautiful day.

[00:12:58]It's going to be a beautiful day. Now, back to the bureau of me finishing this coffee.

[00:13:06]>> All right, so quick update. Like I said, it was going to be a great morning cuz I made two great espresso shots. And that great morning turned into uh I dropped my [ __ ] camera and the lens broke and the body broke mostly too. So I 100% like this thing's been rocking like this tape because the little battery thing is messed up. But now you can see there's a whole hole in there and then this lens is not focusing. So that is that. I was in the midst of just being like, "Bro, I'm just going to scrap this whole vlog and not record anything else." But the thing is, life happens and you got to adjust. I still got a job to do and I still am capable of using this phone that I'm now on to vlog and do whatever I need to do. Audio clearly is not like the same as on there, the uh focal length and all the rest of that, but that just is what it is. This just goes to show you you can pivot and do whatever you need to do.

[00:14:07]So, I'm still going to have a great morning. I got my coffee even though I had the tripod set up like in this high like shot shooting over the top doing the [ __ ] most to be honest. And it was on the edge and I don't know I don't know if it moved or what. But I had it set up where it shouldn't have fell but it ended up falling and it ended up breaking. My boy uh Johnny is actually selling his uh that same lens. He put it up like a week or two ago and I just hit him up and I'm like, "Yo, bro, like I literally just dropped my lens this morning and it broke." So resale price on that lens is like two two grand or something. I might have a warranty. I'm not sure. Let me see if I can like set y'all up right here. Uh, no. But I might have the three-year like protection plan. I don't know if that covers like drops and all the rest of that. But I'm going to see regardless. I got to replace the lens. The body I can do it another time cuz the body like still works. But bro, that's just life be lifeing. But we still blessed. I woke up and recorded the last little portions that I needed to for the Goi video. The other script got approved. So yeah, bro. Man, bro, the devil be working. I I gotta open the Bible, dog.

[00:15:33]I gotta open the Bible.

[00:15:39]All right, as y'all can see, I'm back on my lens. But I literally came over here to this place called Aperture Rent. It's over here in like Addison. So, they allow you to rent like lenses, and they had my lens. So, I came over here, got that. I think it for like 7 days. It was like a 125, which isn't bad cuz I have a project to shoot today. Um, and that's good. I also found a place um I believe in Richardson. So, I'm going to head over there next to drop off my lens and see if he can fix it. Um, if he can't, then I'm just going to have to end up buying a new lens. Probably just buy it from my homie uh for a discounted price.

[00:16:12]And I literally just like God just like came through. I literally just got another deal. So, uh, the headphones and stuff that I was talking to y'all about, I have a YouTube video to do for them, but also they hit me up to do like a short form like little video. It's literally like it's four racks. So, I'm like, bro, if I need to replace or replace my camera body and the lens, I could just use that $4,000 to do that with that project. So, that literally just came through. It just goes to show you like no matter what like transpires, you can always just push through, keep God first, and literally everything will align. you can't allow situations to take you out. Um, a lot of people will get frustrated. Oh, like my lens, blah, blah, blah. Switch over to your iPhone, adjust, do whatever you need to do, um, and make stuff work. So, I'm going to head over to this other place, drop off my lens, and hopefully he can fix it because he's got some really good reviews and stuff like that, but I just literally I've never had to have a lens repaired. And then at some point, this body definitely got to get replaced cuz it's 100% on his last leg. And I'm going to make sure that I have like the three-year warranty or protection plan with Sony. So yeah, we're going to continue this day. I got to shoot some stuff for Eovax today and then tomorrow I'm linking up with Oliver to shoot the bike. So Eavax, I'm probably going to roll some B-roll of that cuz I'm going to be shooting it on the camera. So I'll show you guys it in motion and things like that. But I'll I'll have a whole dedicated video of that. But this month's busy. I'm excited. And let's get this bread, bro. So, I went by the place and he told me like basically like he could not fix the lens, but he showed me like my little zoom thing. So, this is the the rental lens that I got, which y'all are probably going to know. So, it zooms all the way into 16 up here on the top from 35 as you guys can see, but mine was stuck at like 20 and wouldn't go past that. So, we were talking and he was like, "Yo, like it's going to be like like $700 to like send it into Sony and they might have to like fix it or whatever and it might be more." So, I hit up my friend um Jay-Hawk and then he was like, "Yo, I just sold mine." I'm like, "Bro, what the hell?" So, I'm had to buy a new one. So, I got in the car and I was like, "Bro, like I'm going to see like if I can literally just twist this and like pop it back to like where it's at." So, basically, you know how you dislocate your finger? Let's just like, bro, like I'mma pop it back into place. It might be sore for a little bit, but I'll be good. Yo, I popped the thing back into place and I'm recording on my lens right now, bro.

[00:18:36]Bro, like I'm just so happy again. Like this just goes to show you just like stay with a positive attitude no matter what happens in life, man. No matter what happens in life. Because I'm thinking like, yo, I got to literally like spend another, you know, 2,300 bucks to replace my lens. And I talked to Jim. He's actually going to fix my camera body because it needs to be fixed in the little battery compartment. So, he's going to do that for me. So, I'm going end up going back to him. Super cool guy. um older guy and he was just like, "Yeah, like I just can't fix it."

[00:19:08]But I was like, "You know what? Like I'm still going to try to like get you some business because you got really good reviews." And I was like, "Yo, can you fix the body?" He's like, "Yeah, I can order the parts and we're good to go."

[00:19:16]Man, such a blessing, bro. Such a blessing that literally all it was was just like popping that mug out, dog.

[00:19:25]Man, just so thankful, dog. Like, I can have a good rest of my day now. I had two good espresso shots. My camera fell, almost broke, came back to life.

[00:19:38]It's sunny outside. God, it's good. All right, so it is Wednesday um morning.

[00:19:44]Oliver is headed over because we are about to shoot this bike right here.

[00:19:50]I've been um enjoying riding this like on my brakes and stuff, which is really cool because that's what the video is centered around. like on my brakes when I'm um just wanting to chill or whatever, I can get out, ride my bike, and not like have to take a walk every single time. So, this is really cool.

[00:20:06]And it has a whole bunch of just like different modes. The mode that I like the most is the um boost mode. So, whenever you're pedaling, it'll give you like a little like slight boost whenever you're pedaling. So, it just gives you a little push forward, which is dope. It's also got a sport mode, a trail mode, um and I believe like a eco mode on here.

[00:20:26]So, when I turn it on, it has a little like screen right there, which the reflector is kind of on it so you can't see it, but yeah, it's got classic um eco, trail, sport, boost, and yeah, it's just super cool. And you can just ride it regular if you want. And then it's got like the little gear thing over there. But, um yeah, we're going to be shooting this today. I got to do a short form and also like a YouTube integration. So, you guys will see that on one of my YouTube videos. I think they scheduled it to go live like the end of maybe the end of May. I don't know. I think they adjusted it, whatever it is. But, I'm getting it done right now because once the videos are approved, I get paid. So, I'm about to knock that out. I got some um slight corrections to do for the GOI video, which I'm I'm kind of like torn between when brands be giving me feedback on what they think will work on my page, I kind of just be like, eh, whatever. But at the end of the day, it's what the client wants. So, I'm going to go adjust that and then be able to get that done. So, today we're literally filming this. I'll show you guys some BTS of knocking that out. But this is literally just like a Monday through Friday. Low key. I might be filming through Saturday of just knocking out all these campaigns and I got more and more just like rolling in.

[00:21:50]I totally forgot like in July I have this um this shaving campaign with this razor company that's literally 12 racks that I forgot about. So July is already looking like it's going to be uh cuz whatever hits in June, like whatever projects I pick up in June will hit in July as far as like payouts. So it's looking like looking like July is going to be a a solid month. You run up like a 100 bands in like two months, maybe two and a half months. Chill. Go to go to Lake uh what is it? Lake Como is what me and um Audriana were talking about. But yeah, this is a grind out week. Last night we had some steak, mashed potatoes, and asparagus, which is really, really good. Um, but yeah, these days just be jam-packed. Audriana is actually at another shoot. She's shooting for JC Penny today. Yesterday she shot for the Galleria, but we're both just like in grind mode, which is beautiful because we just get our work done, chill and decompress together, and then just kind of rinse and repeat and do that. But that allows you to stack up, enjoy life, um, and just live life on your own terms.

[00:23:12]>> All right, so we was getting all the shots. They all came out clean. Y'all probably saw some already, but I got to have a helmet on, and I forgot my helmet at the crib. So, I'm about to go back to the house real quick.

[00:23:25]grab the helmet and then we're just going to redo these shots which it shouldn't take that long cuz we already know the little path and stuff we want to take.

[00:23:33]Safety first kids in a dollip walking with a drip make ball. Walk in with a drip that make ball came in and she strip her panties and all lip gloss on her lip me.

[00:23:50]I bought me a ship. I bought with a limp in my draws. When she stop that [ __ ] I put dig in her jaws. I miss.

[00:24:02]>> All right, so the shoot went well. As you guys saw, I forgot my helmet, but we got all that stuff done. I also forgot my SD card inside of my drone. A bunch of different stuff today. But I am back at my desk, which can't even pull this up. Doing some emails and stuff right now. And then I'm about to offload all the footage and stuff from the um the shoot. So I could probably edit that stuff tonight or I might do like an editing session before I go to therapy.

[00:24:30]Um but I'm about to like take a shower cuz it is hot outside. Been like sweating and I just feel gross. But today's been a productive day. Another day of getting some shoots and stuff done. I need to figure out what I want to shoot tomorrow cuz Oliver is free again and the um Sound Core concept hasn't gotten approved yet. So, I can't shoot that just yet. But, I have I'm pretty sure I have something else that I could possibly shoot. So, I definitely want to like maximize that. Um because he's not going to be free till like literally like next week. So, yeah.

[00:25:10]Yeah, I got hit up for a couple other like campaigns and stuff like that that I'm about to um respond to these emails and see if we can lock in a deal. Um I was going to do some stuff with Hume Health. I don't know if you guys have ever heard of them, but ended up not locking that in. So, just goes to show you that sometimes like you lock in deals, sometimes you don't. But negotiation skills are always um something that I would say I have a strong suit at. And for me be me have been doing this like 11 years. I feel like I've progressively got better at that and getting deals done within at max maybe like a week time frame if it's on in my terms. Sometimes these companies come back like Soundcore had hit me up maybe I don't even know when they originally hit me up like way back. This was before this email, so I don't really know how long this is, but Oh, back in like April, maybe like the tail end of April.

[00:26:14]So, not that long, but it was a little bit over like two weeks or so. But yeah, I'm about to take a shower and then jump into this editing session.

[00:26:53]I don't know.

[00:27:16]We stayed up all night watching a comedy show.

[00:27:20]Dead whiskey and hydro. Good lord. What a nice conversation. I'm too floored to get anywhere safely.

[00:27:29]You know I talk about you highly.

[00:27:33]I'm fascinated for the time being. We can laugh until the morning or we can dance in the hallway. Only one more night in Los Angeles.

[00:27:46]I really thought that I can handle it.

[00:27:49]But the funny thing is I was holding back tears. I didn't think this day would happen.

[00:28:00]All right, so we didn't fast forwarded a couple of days and I just kind of needed a little bit of time to focus on work and get things done. Um, one thing that did show up is damn the projector, which this projector I'm going to be doing some stuff for the World Cup, and I'm waiting on the uh the screen and all the rest of the cables and stuff to come in.

[00:28:22]And the guy who actually got me the deal got me an extra video added in for an additional like price. So I have two videos to do with them now. So those are two things that are going to be going in June as well. So that compiled and then ended up locking in another deal with SMA, which is like a um they have a um it's basically kind of just like body body care stuff. They have different type of like towels, different type of like face stuff that you can use drying off your face. basically kind of how like clean tiles is that I use in there.

[00:28:54]Locked in some stuff with them. And then today I literally finished shooting the um BetterHelp integration which that was just like a basically kind of a testimonial of how therapy has helped me develop and get to where I am now and why therapy can be good for you guys.

[00:29:12]Because a lot of people don't get into therapy because they think it's complicated. They don't think they're going to match with people and they show you how easy the process is. um with just the simple steps and stuff that they have. I finished shooting the rest of the stuff that I needed to add to the Eovax video that I will be including in this as well. Um and I've sent over the bike video for review um my Insta3 video that I shot um the other day. I don't know if I did any BTS of that, but the Insta 360 Go Ultra um is a campaign that I'm doing with them. So, I did a video basically I might put it up here where it shows how you can use this in different scenarios. It's waterproof.

[00:29:58]It's magnetic. Um, and you can just get a whole bunch of different POV shots with this. So, this Insta3 is super dope. I actually did this one and the Go 3S back like last year, which is super dope. And Insta 360 just hit me up again about this new It's like a I want to pull it up. I'm going to pull it up real quick while I'm like on camera to show you guys like what it is, but it's basically kind of like a obviously it's a camera, but I'm not specific on what the actual name is. Insta 360.

[00:30:34]Um, it's for like a YouTube integration.

[00:30:38]Uh, where is it at?

[00:30:41]Insta 360. Let's see. I literally just responded like this morning. Okay. Oh, it's called the Insta 360 Wave, which I don't know if you guys have ever seen this. Let me see if I can turn this and show you guys. Let me try to like zoom in. Actually, I'm going just pick up the camera. It's a lot easier to do that.

[00:31:03]Okay, so this is the Insta 360 Wave, which is a professional speaker phone with AI recording. So, it's basically got a camera in it and it's a speaker at the same time. So, this is super cool. It's a seamless connectivity with like a webcam and a whole bunch of other stuff. So, that is going to be interesting to do. Sorry to be zoomed in. Um, yeah. So, ended up locking that in. Like I said, I've been doing a whole bunch of like tech stuff that has been great to start getting into that field because like I said, I want to switch it up and I am open to challenging myself to learning more and more about that. Um, I got some other deals that are like in the works like this um uh what is it? Cosway. Costway.

[00:31:59]They sell a whole bunch of like home appliances stuff. They wanted to do one of those air conditions. I know y'all probably seen them maybe in like dorm rooms and all the rest of that stuff, the little ones that go up on the wall and they're just like little units, but the thing is they have to like drill through my wall to be able to install that and I don't own this place and I'm not going to be invested in putting a air condition. Plus, they wasn't trying to pay for the installation of it and I just wasn't doing that. But I ended up here's the best way to look at this.

[00:32:28]whenever you can't make a deal work with a specific thing that they wanted to start with, you can pivot and still make this deal work. So, I was like, "Bro, it's about to be summertime here in Texas. I work out in my garage. Me and my girlfriend would love to have like little air conditioning there. They have portable air conditioners that you don't have to drill through walls. They're just portable set up, plug in, and be able to do that." So, we're working out a deal and locking that in. Um, it's not like a huge amount as far as like the integration, but at the same time, I'm getting something that I want plus getting paid for it. So, I'm able to implement that in too. And yeah, we got to go shoot some stuff for Caldera Labs.

[00:33:10]I don't even know if I told you guys that, but um yeah, there's a a bunch of different projects that I have to execute within this week because I'm about to go out of town to go see my daughter, which that'll take up my weekend. So, I basically got to get everything done um by Friday. So, this is kind of like maybe showing you guys like a two week process cuz I didn't shoot every single day. I took a little break for myself because you don't want to burn out whenever you're shooting campaigns. I definitely want to do them at my own pace. And I'm just waiting for the verification on the headphones so I can start shooting that this week and get that done. And then I got to do a short form version of that cuz I got hired to do short form for that. And I'm I'm pretty sure I told y'all about the automatic blinds that I got, too. It's uh it's definitely that time period where I focus, lock in, do my 90minute focus sprints, knock out my projects, cash out, and relax and live my life.

[00:34:09]Um, and this is Q2. Q2 usually isn't crazy busy like this. Not that I can remember, but I'm thankful. extremely thankful because if this is Q2, Q3 and Q4, Q4 is always just monstrous with the amount of work that you can do. If I stay on pace, I will be in for a very very good year. All right, top of the morning. Uh I have some I have a consultation call that I have to do literally here in the next like 10 minutes or so. But today we're like kind of shifting gears. Obviously, you know, this is around like content creation, but it's kind of centered around like how I make money. Um, but consultation calls, I do do one-on-one consultation calls with individuals and also businesses. Today, I have an hour consultation call um that I'm going to be knocking out for a client that's trying to basically find their way on YouTube, start their YouTube, and shift um all their content within their niche.

[00:35:09]And then also like last night, I don't know, just randomly because we haven't been running any ads on my e-commerce business, which if you guys don't know, I have an e-commerce business for men's like lifestyle hygiene brand um called the Creature of Habits. We just had an influx of orders just like come through.

[00:35:28]And on Shopify, I need to check like obviously they have like a little thing that runs the system on any type of like if it's like high and fraudulent type of like activity. I don't think it is. But also, I don't know where these random sales are coming from, whether it's like maybe a older video of mine or something that had like the creature of habits like tagged is going up that I'm not noticing. But I wasn't going to start running any type of ads until like next month. But I got to do that today, too.

[00:35:58]Plus, I got to go over here and return the lens that uh we thought this one broke. But we got to go return this one back to Addison. So, after I am done with my consultation call, I'm going to go do that. Uh, yesterday I was out riding the electric bike um from Velri.

[00:36:16]Dude, I was on that thing rolling, bro, for about like an hour. When I tell you like the boost mode, that thing is I think I broke like 10 miles. I didn't even notice. Like, I just popped on the headphones, turned on the new Drake. And speaking of that, speaking of that, Iceman, um, I I like I love the album actually. I love the album. Take a second, drop what you think about Ice Man. I haven't listened to the other two, so I can't speak on those, which those are kind of throwaway albums anyways, cuz he was just trying to get out of his deal, but I'm pretty sure it's like some dance music and stuff in there. I can always say this. Drake's music makes me one want to make more money, two remember all the people who did me wrong, and three, remind people of who the [ __ ] you are. That's what I be getting from these albums, bro. Like, I'm so glad Drake dropped, and it's like a perfect time cuz I'm in like work mode and I'm really getting after it and more opportunities and stuff are presenting themselves. But I I love the album. I love the album. Everybody got their mixed thoughts and then they're they're over here comparing it, you know? Oh, Kendrick did like, bro, just enjoy the album. Just enjoy the album. I don't be getting people who always just want to like bring up something else. Just just live in the P, bro. Enjoy Drake. I think people need to understand his body of work is ridiculous.

[00:37:42]Ridiculous. He's giving us so much, bro.

[00:37:46]Take care views. Like, it's just classics, bro. classics. But anyways, I'mma roll some B-roll of me being on this call. I got to pack up these orders. Then I got to go run these errands and invoice all these clients cuz we got done with both of the GOI campaigns invoicing both of them so we can knock that out and get these payouts.

[00:38:14]>> I'm about it till it's over.

[00:38:20]I'mma ride it till it's over.

[00:38:27]I'mma ride it till it's over.

[00:38:33]I'mma ride it till it's over.

[00:38:41]All right, so it is Thursday. I'm basically like wrapping up the week with like projects. I had a couple more corrections to do for the um bike video for Velri and I think there was maybe some other correction that I had to do.

[00:38:59]But yeah, I've basically closed out majority of my projects. I have a shoot next week for the headphones, both versions. And then this weekend I need to shoot the stuff for Cer Caldera Labs plus the um the uh hang I'm blanking right now. The projector I'll probably be shooting next week too. And I also got like such a great opportunity. Um, I'm not going to talk about it on here until it's confirmed, but as I've said, I've wanted to get into tech more and I've been potentially invited to a um a launch for a new tech product that you guys are very familiar with and I will probably be out in Toronto for that. So, it just goes to show, keep grinding, keep your foot on the pedal, keep expanding, and never quit challenging yourself to do something different. It's going to start off slow. It's going to feel a little bit different, but it's all about just constantly evolving. I remember when I first went from fashion into lifestyle content, cleaning content, things like that. Very unfamiliar space, very like different from what I was known for at the time.

[00:40:12]But that allowed me to grow my personal brand to what it is today was stepping outside my comfort zone and doing something else. And I feel like this is going to open me up to way more opportunities to express my creativity and tie it into like my lifestyle aspect of just who I am as a person with like my fitness. And I think tech comes into fitness whether it's like a watch, headphones, um a bunch of different things. And there were some other opportunities that came across to my desk this week too that I think are really cool. Um, if I'm able to lock those in, obviously I'll tell you guys about it. But I'm just really happy with how these past, you know, one to two weeks of just grinding out have been and everything is on schedule to be paid out in June and just basically just sit back, enjoy the fruits of my labor. And one thing that I've learned like nowadays, although like I get a $50,000 like payout, that does not mean I need to go out and just like blow money on dumb stuff. I rarely nowadays even buy myself things. Um, I put money aside just to have money for like a rainy day and for the house that I want. I was riding over like um the other day I recorded a real on my phone just talking about I take that bike and I'm I'm so glad that I kept that bike. I know I'm getting off track because I was thinking about giving it away because I always get stuff and I'm like bro like I'm not really going to want this. Same thing with the scooter. I'm not going to really want want this. Um and same thing with like the little window cleaner. I was like I'm not going to want this. I ended up keeping it after I actually like tried it out. But I was riding the bike and I've been riding it for like literally like an hour a day like on my breaks and I'm always just rolling past like the houses over there and I'm just seeing the houses and envisioning myself with a family um and just seeing that life for myself and just it's allowed me to um just get back to I'm just going to say I'm not going to say get back to me because I don't want to be an old version of myself. get back to the like inspired person I was. I can say that and I'm inspired to create at this point and this is I'm going to be 33 this year and I feel like this is going to be a very pivotal moment um or very pivotal year of my life to start the momentum that I have wanted for myself over the past two years and have been fighting to get back to that for the past two years and I understand that this moment is going to spark that and it's going to continue to challenge me um to keep growing and I'm really happy. I'm really focused. I hope that you guys enjoy this format. I enjoyed piecing this vlog together. I didn't really have a plan of how I wanted to format this video. It kind of just like came together, but I think it came out pretty beautiful. So, if you've made it this far, I appreciate you. Make sure you guys subscribe, like the video, share with a friend. Um it helps out with the YouTube algorithm.

[00:43:19]And yeah, that's what you got here. So, I'll see you guys in the next one.

[00:43:23]Peace.

[00:43:40]And don't all this new music sound the same?

[00:43:45]Yeah, we must be getting old and gray.

[00:43:47]We left early. Girl, that B was Anyway, we went home and left our clothes up in the living space. Say, would you say if your heart had the power? Would you run and find another life to imitate? It's important that we make the best of short time. You can never be my one and only.

[00:44:06]Anyway, say can't dream.

[00:44:10]Can't we all live the life on the wide screen? What's the point? Yeah. Yeah. We had fun if only for the time being. But I'mma ride it till it's over.

[00:44:26]I'mma ride it till it's over.

[00:44:33]I'mma ride it till it's over.

[00:44:40]I'mma ride it till it's over.

[00:44:46]I'm a rat.

[00:44:53]I'm a rat to the I'm bad.
