Confronting Biaheza | Reacting To His $1 Million Portfolio At 19 Years Old
Watch on YouTubeVideo summary
In this episode of the Jack and Graham Coffee Hour, host Graham interviews Vlad Biaheza, a 19-year-old entrepreneur with over $1 million in assets and nearly one million subscribers on YouTube. The discussion centers on how Biaheza built his wealth starting from an immigrant family background by leveraging Instagram theme pages to learn advertising before transitioning into drop shipping. He reveals that after making significant profits—reaching six figures within a few months—he saved aggressively rather than spending, eventually dropping out of college in March 2018 once he crossed the $100,000 monthly profit threshold. His current income streams include YouTube AdSense, his own educational course priced at roughly $300 (often discounted), real estate investments, stock trading options, and occasional brand deals, with drop shipping paused due to supply chain issues during the pandemic but planned for future scaling. Biaheza details the intense work ethic required behind his consistent output, noting that he often works 16-hour days when launching new projects like his YouTube Creator Academy course, which took an entire month of isolation and full-time effort to produce. He emphasizes a unique marketing strategy where he rarely pushes sales or runs frequent discounts, believing in providing immediate value rather than devaluing products through constant promotions. The conversation also touches on the psychological aspect of high earners; Biaheza expresses concern about becoming accustomed to such income levels that returning to traditional employment would feel impossible, though he remains open to moving out of his parents' home if it hinders his social or emotional well-being. Currently living with supportive parents in Sacramento who are from Belarus and Russia, he enjoys the financial benefits of avoiding lifestyle inflation while maintaining a strong family bond. Looking toward future ventures, Biaheza announces plans to launch his own coffee brand, currently testing blends like Robusta and Brazilian varieties before rolling out an initial batch of 2,000 units as a break-even test run. He also discusses potential expansions into Las Vegas for tax advantages on large purchases like vehicles or studio equipment, aiming to build a high-production set reminiscent of shows hosted by Joe Rogan or Dave Ramsey. Additionally, he hints at future content directions involving reaction videos with his girlfriend and potentially creating a financial interrogation show similar to Dr. Phil but focused on wealth building rather than debt relief. Throughout the interview, both hosts reflect on their own workflows, admitting that they have become so efficient and methodical in managing multiple channels and comment sections that they sometimes struggle to find time for personal hobbies or relaxation. The episode concludes with mutual admiration between Graham and Biaheza, highlighting how a simple email exchange led to this high-profile interview and the subsequent collaboration on content creation. They acknowledge the rapid evolution of their careers, noting that what once seemed like an overwhelming workload has become second nature through repetition and specialization. Despite the immense success achieved at such a young age, Biaheza maintains humility regarding his journey from selling ads on niche Instagram pages to managing millions in assets, crediting financial education books and YouTube finance channels for guiding his early decisions. The hosts wrap up by encouraging viewers to subscribe to Biaheza's channel and engage with him further via comments or social media, reinforcing the community-driven nature of their podcast where unexpected opportunities often arise from simple interactions online.

beza
Vlad first off let's let's give an
introduction so you have approximately
like what 600,000 subscribers on YouTube
620 and you make YouTube videos about
e-commerce and about options trading and
uh yeah about like stock market
investing yeah I basically just combined
business with like entertainment but
e-commerce was the first thing I kind of
started doing and then from that I
spread on to trying out other businesses
so yeah you make some really good videos
by the way
these are the videos that that take like
a week to produce you only post once a
week you make sure it's a really good
Banger post it out there they do well
it's really entertaining I I watch
almost all of them uh and I know you
always post those Friday no no I'm being
serious okay wow and uh yeah but beyond
that you also have over a million dollar
portfolio at 19 years old which we just
went over you can check out my channel
everyone subscribe to beza yeah please
everyone subscribe to him right now get
to 600,000 I'm Already There 7 get him
to 700,000 everybody there you go but
yeah it's it's impressive so over $1.1
million wor of assets 19 years old the
Nets you got like a net worth of like
$900 something, like you're almost at a
million dollars I wouldn't say well
that's just my
investments what's non-investment assets
like well I'm I'm saving up some money
for a new old I don't that's a liability
though right so I can't count that no
not necessarily I count the cars equity
okay then it's probably closer to like I
say 1.5 1.6 how do you go where's this
extra money coming from yeah well I'm I
have some money right now sitting on the
sidelines for new rental property so I
have that I'm just waiting for my tax
returns to come in not come in but file
my taxes so I have the two years of
employment on there and then I'm going
in on a new rental property so I have
why did you not show your here's the
thing guys we went over his whole
Investment Portfolio and it was 1.1 $1
million uh with like A200 something,
mortgage on that so like the Net's about
900 why don't you include cash in in
that position I included cash I know
it's like showing your bank accounts
though I don't know I should have yes
it's not showing bank account just I'll
believe you you could you could show me
here you show me here and then I'll be
like okay I'll confirm without without
revealing any detail how how much cash
do you have uh I have around well I have
to pay tax on some of it I'm doing
quarterly so not all of it but probably
around like 2 300K that's on the
sidelines so you passed a million dollar
net worth in
19
basically at 19 that's so much basically
yeah jez the fact that you're 19 yeah
and I'm
22 everyone's on their own timeline but
good on you Bravo because I did not
expect you to be doing so well I thought
you were doing really well that's but
that's incredible I didn't know either
that's why I'm like I'm honestly shocked
and by the way we go to extremes on the
podcast not to talk about any of this
stuff before everything is recording I
kid you not he came here a little early
we're posting my video and like half the
things I wanted to talk about I'm like
no no no we got to do it on the podcast
we we can't talk about that um so many
questions and so many answers let's just
start from the how did you how did you
do that well it goes back to Middle
School like sixth seventh grade I
started making Instagram theme pages are
you guys familiar with those MH
Instagram theme yeah so I mean for the
people who aren't you just build pages
in a particular Niche repost content on
them on Instagram credit the people
whose content you repost and then you
grow the page so I started selling ads
on those in like high school and
eventually noticed that all the people
who are hitting me up were doing
something called Drop Shipping so you
guys you guys know have to know what
droping is yeah right so it's basically
a form of e-commerce where you're just
the middleman you for the people that
don't know but I noticed that that's
what they were they were doing so I
started doing that for myself self and I
launched some ads on my own pages and
Those ads just did extremely well
because I kind of saw what everyone was
sending me to post on my Instagram pages
so I kind of was indirectly in the
e-commerce space for a while but then
once I actually tried it out ended up
doing pretty well with it and then use
that money to get into Facebook ads and
that's what really did it for me and
then along the journey I started doing
YouTube and documenting everything so
it's kind of okay so Instagram how much
money were you making from Instagram and
how big were those accounts uh total
followers probably like in the millions
well not probably in the millions and
then I had a month that I made $500 in
2018 with those pages then ,500 then
2,000 but at that point I was like a
full-time college student I was working
two other jobs and running these Pages
sucks cuz you constantly got to be in
the DMS you got to people flake on you
try to scam you all kinds of sus things
going on so I was like I'm willing to
take a pay cut on these pages and start
Drop Shipping on them just so I wouldn't
have to deal with all those DMS so I was
expecting to make like around $500 when
I transferred from selling ads on those
to uh Drop Shipping but I launched some
ads and they did like incredibly well I
can actually pull up the Shopify numbers
if you guys want to let see abely let's
see them it'll do better for the
timeline could you could you like screen
record it or something or yeah yeah
let's see that um so you obviously then
dropped out of college right
hold on all right we're getting there
I'm jumping ahead I'm jumping ahead too
much let me let me take you through my
thought process here let's see let me
head into the analytics shut down
because of Co but so we're going back to
2018 in the calendar right when he
started selling his own items on his
theme Pages this was my second attempt
though I tried like Drop Shipping around
6 months before this but I kind of broke
even so this is my first month of like
successfully doing it okay so total so
33 what's the profit that's the thing
because I was posting on my own Pages
mainly it was like 20 grand wow okay so
total sales
$33,000 20,000 of that was profit yeah
and you got to understand like I I can
say I Come From The Trenches and like be
honest about it like we're talking
immigrant family of six moving to the US
like small two-bedroom apartment in the
rough side of town so this
20K that was I don't I don't think I
even knew anybody with a net worth of
20K so this was like a crazy amount of
money but because I actually was
watching your videos at the time and
like other Finance channels and reading
Finance books I wasn't stupid with the
money and I actually ended up saving it
and I mean this spike in income like
that there's no I figured there's no way
that was sustainable so I actually saved
all this money cuz I figured I'm going
to have to pay for college now cuz at
the time I was low-income family so I
was on going through FAFSA but now I was
like okay I'm going need to spend money
on College yeah but then let's go to
October and then did started declining
there had a good uh Black Friday thing
in
[Music]
November so on 50 I'm I'm guessing
probably 35 of that then it's profit
yeah around 30 CU at this point I kind
of dried up my pages so I had to start
paying other people what do you mean you
dried up your pages I mean you can just
post 100 ads a day on your pages you
know yeah couldn't you vary it just like
offer one day offer like dog treats the
next day it is the same audience in the
same product right yeah it's your your
pages are in a niche and it's like
finding a winning product is one of the
hardest parts so you can't really could
you say what that product was and what
your page was or is that is that course
material do you still have the page
that's course material I I have all of
the pages I actually have someone I know
running it and they're just selling ads
on those so they're still how much do
they make now probably still around like
2K I I could show you the pages just for
verification purposes okay but but yeah
we get to around January or no February
that's when things really started
drawing up with
Instagram so I ended up only doing like
13 Grand okay so this one I was like
good call didn't drop out of college
okay but then next month this is when I
found a new product just dropped it on
the same exact store and started running
Facebook ads on it and thing is with
Facebook ads you can get more revenue
and scale a lot quicker but the profit
margins are going to be lower so if we
go that first month okay talking 6 6K
next month what's the profit on that
probably like 30 maybe even 25 so you're
still in college while doing
this yeah so this was the first six
figure Revenue month yeah then craziest
thing next month
first oh damn okay I I'll do that in a
sec first six figure profit wow and
that's for what may what can you tell us
what the pro what that product
was uh no we bleep it we we'll B we'll
bleep it you're still selling this this
product this first one I'm going to show
you is that was my first one that popped
off the second one I still might
actually sell it cuz it's been doing
well for me consistently okay so this
was the first product that really popped
off right
here got it it's like have seen I
wouldn't have thought of that I've never
seen it before but wait till you see the
second product all right so okay so I'm
just going to say the first product is
something I I haven't seen it before but
it's Unique Niche I see how it could do
well how's that could I say that yeah
that's broad enough all right bro can I
guess can I guess is it the is it the um
no it's the asai berry crap that they
used to sell let's see what no wait a
second wait a second wait
wait
[Laughter]
whoa I can't believe wait wait wait let
me finish the video that was it that's
all you get no no I want to see more let
see it no nobody knows what it is
they're just going to see my reaction
let me hold this look at
that that's that is insane wait wait let
me look at this again is just I feel bad
for the people at home wow no it's dude
we we could we could easily be worth
like 20 million if we just inv want to
tell you so so you want a white label
that I'm thinking about it yeah cuz be
even before the r like I was pulling
numbers with us so guys I would never
expect it you got to sign up for this
course because you'll get product wa
wait wa what do what do you mean well I
don't want to make it seem like now
we're pitching the the program but
explain this wait wait so you tell
people if they buy your program then you
explain it well I'm not going to reveal
my best ever product I do reveal some
products cuz those aren't the only two
products you wouldn't reveal that though
no cuz I mean I'm still drop shipping it
you
know that's genius dude that is that's
crazy the comments are going to be going
off on this going to be mad they're
going to be mad I but I I'm going to
give my word I'm not going to say
anything you don't have to worry about
that it's that's probably the most
unique thing I've been I've been shown
that's the key you got a novelty
products and how do you find a product
like that this one actually just paid 20
bucks for a website where they list
winning products found it ran up a store
same day did like $1,000 worth of
Revenue what's the website find out in
my course oh jeez right I'm just kidding
I'm sorry that was a little too far of a
sale uh there's a bunch of them there's
like Ali shark there's drop ship spy
there's all kinds of websit it's a
common thing yeah by the way guys I'm so
sorry because a lot of this is going to
have to be muted and I know that some
people in the comments like the the
rawness and authenticity of the podcast
and that we don't mute stuff but this is
stuff that we need to so wow yeah um
let's talk about your name because
you've said that you wanted to to talk
about this on the podcast so it's beia
has
right that's actually my last name my
first name is Vlad like vladislav but
for Branding purposes first thing you
think about when you hear Vlad come on
Vladimir Putin we're talking Dracula
we're talking the evil Russian guy in
every movie so I felt like for Branding
purposes it'd be best to just stick with
the last name although in retrospect
it's like the last name is a little hard
to pronounce it's it's a little
vladislav
vladislav Vlad for short I thought of
Vladimir Guerrero the for the
Angels I don't know who that is
but I'm glad you have a good Association
there no but yeah because of that uh
it's I'm not like insecure about my name
or anything it's just for Branding
purposes I figured it would make more
sense and I mean it's kind of worked out
I get it probably should have just went
with like a madeup stage name like
Graham Stefan yeah just just pick two
first names put them together in your
set yeah can't trust the man with two
person names I know well that's smart I
think that's you know Bia has mhm is a
it's a good name it is a little bit
difficult to pronounce though because
when I first heard of your name I
thought it was Baha yeah that's what I
thoughta or something like that I should
probably start saying it more in my
videos cuz I don't yeah I would just so
people know how to pronounce it once you
do it a few times it would be funny for
you to introduce a video and be like
what's up guys it's vladislav
here you switch it up on him yeah
where's your family from originally
bellus belaro and when did they come to
the US uh
when I was 6 years old so talking like a
little over 10 years ago like 10 13 do
you remember growing up there a little
bit but you know I I I started school
here so it's very faint memories but
I've been back so okay I know like where
is bellarus is that in Russia no it's a
separate country it's right in between
Poland and Russia and Ukraine it's like
a little separate little spot over there
do you speak any other languages speak
Russian there's actually a b Russian
language but nobody really speaks it and
I don't know what it is and you still
speak that fluently Russian yeah oh yeah
wow I mean that was my English is
technically my second language wow what
was that one thing that lingua Marina
wanted us
to popsy diis or something like that oh
I don't
know smash like
say uh stop to like night video stash
like Video St like sty
like video like video he made it sound a
little German there all right all right
so what brought your parents then to uh
us Sacramento was it yeah okay so my
grandma was a refugee she was prosecuted
for Christianity back during the Soviet
Union so because of that my parents were
able to get Refugee status as well wow
so that's yeah so it's even crazy that
I'm like in the US like it's that's
crazy yeah so you ended up doing really
well then as a teenager and when did you
get to the point then when you started
thinking about dropping out of school uh
first like around the first couple of
months with the Drop Shipping when I was
doing like 20K I told myself that if I
ever cross 100K profit in a single month
I'll do
it yeah but I mean I didn't know cuz
again like college all I knew was
College I knew that like you can go
through college and you can have a good
job and you'll be secure so I was like
kind of encouraged to go through that so
I I saw this as something that wouldn't
really be as reliable as that so I I
wanted to play it safe but I ended up
hitting that in March so I finished that
first year and dropped out what March
was it was this not this year March 2018
2018 jeez you've been on the grind for a
while when did you find my videos by the
way but first a quick word from our

to the podcast it was oh yeah this is
something we say for the podcast gram
Stefan videos I was super early on so
like throughout High School we're
talking 3 years ago yeah and Graham was
the first time I heard about rental
property investing and like all that
real estate stuff and now I'm actually
doing it so this is like a that's cool
real visualized impact that you wait so
is this before this is after you you
were managing the Instagram
accounts yeah cuz I mean I was doing
Instagram since middle school so okay
wow there you go see sometimes it's like
these little tiny things that you put
out there like on Trends or just just
anything and you never know who's going
to watch it and what they're going to do
with that information yeah shout out to
Graham that's awesome man that's so cool
um what else so I feel like there's so
much now like like now yeah go for it I
mean that's that's absolutely incredible
uh that you've been able to do all of
that just by 19 years old when do you
turn 20 February of next year okay I'm
getting there soon enough it's crazy
like you can't even drink yet but like
your bank account is like yeah that is
crazy could buy a you could buy a used
Bugatti if you want if you sold
everything right now you could buy a
used 2006 Bugatti how much are those one
two I think you probably should should I
do it yeah it would be good for Branding
could yeah you can I deduct it as
marketing yeah right let's see what you
just appreciate the car 100% business
use Bugatti depreciate years we we got
to squash some sort of controversy oh as
well so we've been getting a lot of
requests on our Channel saying they want
you to come on our podcast and it is
like it's odd an inordinate amount like
it's like it will be a comment and it
will be it'll have like over 150 likes
suici Graham thinks you going say it
I'll say it yeah okay no I'm going to
say it for like a year
now people have only requested to have
you on the channel consistently they all
get like 100 200 likes I was almost
thinking you were like you were the one
behind it or you were the one
like either either like making these
accounts posting up there or having
other people like like guiding people
like hey just just keep posting this
keep liking it because we got so many
and we don't get this for anybody else
and and it just seems odd
of anybody out there you are the one
that gets picked and your comments are
the one that go to the top I mean first
of all I appreciate that but the fact
that I only replied to your DM 3 months
after you hit me up exactly that kind of
disproves all that Graham we playing
hard to get Graham brought it up to me
he's so suspicious Graham brought it up
to me and I was like so I was like no
I've seen like a decent amount of his
videos now and I think he is not a guru
at all he's no I I never I never thought
that yeah very legit so you give the
seal of approval wow that's a b okay
thank you yeah but it just it seems like
I got so many comments it a lot and and
once I started pointing it out I'm like
ja like wow yeah we got another one here
and it had like a hundred likes it was
one of the most liked comments multiple
times n like I I wasn't even really
trying to come on the podcast all the m
just cuz I feel like I'm a little
anxious with like the collabs and all so
this was this wasn't my idea you know
but it's crazy some people are like die
hard fans of yours so just for the
record none of those were you that was
all organic everyone that asks for you
to be on the channel is 100% organic
amen really yeah I do have a good common
story that I want to get into okay
that's crazy man I mean your audience
then cuz we don't get this for anybody
like no one has had that level of uh
consistency to ask that would have been
smart though cuz that's what I thought I
thought you'd be like hey if I if I
could just get on his radar like post a
comment like this just just even like it
like 100 times or I could just post on
Instagram like hey guys let's make this
happen everyone's going to start then
okay I I understand it that's where it
came from but all organic baby you got a
good audience man a really supportive
audience I just got to compliment your
audience really quickly because Graham
posted on his Instagram today that he
was you know that you're with us and
we're going to do some sort of
collaboration and we got so many
comments on today's video like we want
be a heza to like respond to this
comment and like there were there was
like times where there's five in a row
when you sorted by newest where they'
just be like be has a respond yeah like
you have a loyal audience I mean don't
compliment me compliment the audience
incredible yeah but you don't see that
often with with like Finance YouTube I'd
say Andre J it's another one but I feel
like your audience is is
stronger in a sense but that's like
that's cuz I think I integrate a lot
more entertainment into my videos and
like I show a lot more personality than
a lot of like the finance people so I
wonder if it's your age I wonder if it's
being
19 that in a sense people feel more
comfortable with you because they don't
feel like you're as you're older and
they feel like the older you are maybe
the more like I don't want to say the
more tricks you got but there's more of
a separation between like what's the
angle versus you being 19 living with
your parents doing incredibly well it's
easier to relate to you thing is though
there's like a lot of young people doing
well with Drop Shipping like my numbers
compared to what's really out there not
even impressive no but it's like
Millions per month it doesn't matter
though because you what you have is the
personality and the entertainment value
of YouTube that who else who else is
doing Drop Shipping right now who has
your numbers and is making videos like
you in the ways that you do it I don't
think anybody I mean there there's some
good channels I don't want to discredit
anybody but I guess
yeah I think I was one of the first to
really bring I mean you were one of the
first to bring a lot more entertainment
here but I took it to like kind of
another level with the challenges and
whatnot yeah so yeah I think you're a
Perfect Blend between finance and Ryan
Tran that's what I think I agree with
that really shout out Ryan yeah it's
compliment so what's your comment story
oh yeah let's see the comment story I'm
curious if you remember this gram back
when I was first we're talking like late
2018 first started the YouTube channel
well I didn't start it even further
backstory I actually used to make skate
videos back in the day privated all of
those started doing the finance videos
you shouldn't have private you should
unprivate those videos and just see the
reaction maybe I'll maybe I'll do it you
could do a reacting video series to your
skateboarding videos wow that'd be good
and that would be a cool video to also
you could talk about the the progress
along the way and just the Journey of
YouTube and and how much money you've
made that's a good video idea I'm
actually do that good all right so let's
hear it one of my growth strategies was
to have my notifications on for like all
of the finance channels whenever someone
drops a video I kind of like scroll
through it see what's up and then I'll
think of something like funny drop it in
the comments common sense like it to get
the ball rolling and then as people
would see it more likes and we're
talking like if your video would get
300,000 views that's 300,000 people that
would see my comment because it'd be the
top comment and I wouldn't do like a
scam you little call to action or
anything I would just drop like a solid
comment so guaranteed top comment every
time so I'm curious if you remember that
I get so many I remember I would say
there's maybe four or five people that I
consistently remember that's exciting
though man how many subscribers do you
think you you got from that well that's
how I kickstarted everything so I had
like 2K on the skateboarding stuff and
then just to kick the finance videos off
that's what I do for like for a long
time cuz I didn't start making money
with YouTube until like a while you know
was like pretty low I wasn't doing any
like brand deals or anything so it was
it was a grind wow for a while so you're
living with your parents now any plans
on moving out or you want to live with
them as long as you can cuz my my I
think you just live with them as long as
you can at this point just save as much
as you can I think it's pennies now at
this point no pennies
matter you get 20 of them you get a free
coffee content you know if you got your
own place you could like get a nice
Studio I'm thinking of getting like an
office but I'm not like limited I have
my freedom par yeah what are your
thoughts on that well I I think if I
were to move out i' just start spending
a lot more money cuz it's like keeps me
grounded you know at the end of the day
still living at your mama's house it's
like keeps me humble yeah what I think
is that you only have this opportunity
once and once you're out once you get
your own spot you're not you're not
going you can't move backwards MH so
just keep in mind that once you make
that move that's a permanent move really
like real estate if if if it's just
money that's a permanent move I say keep
it as long as it does not hinder you and
as long as you could keep putting out
the same content you get along with your
family everything's going well give it
another few years I would say 22
23 well I mean what if he starts
clearing Mill year give it another like
10 years man give it give it at least
until 30 at 30 you could reevaluate your
decision no but I was actually thinking
about early next year whether to buy a
rental property or to get like my own
crib so I guess now that you say it I'll
probably go with a r let me ask you this
though and I'll get Jack's opinion on
this too I do think there's a sense of
relatability that you live with your
parents because I think a big portion of
the audience is under 25 they're living
with your parents and they're seeing you
do so well and it's encouraging to feel
like Hey listen like there's there's no
shame in that you're doing really well
and it's almost it just it it I don't
want to say it grounds you but it just
it makes what you're doing I think more
attainable yeah just it's it's not some
extravagant thing the the more you start
to I don't want to say the lifestyle
inflation but the more you start to
spend I I've noticed I I think the less
attainable it looks because you start to
get that separation mhm yeah I think
that's why even Mr Beast that's why
where he he is where he is today I mean
he still didn't do any of that Lambo
stuff so I 100% agree with that
relatability is very important right so
I would almost say give it another few
years maybe your Jack's like but I think
the good compromise here is just to get
like a little office space like a little
Warehouse type of thing going for like
the content purposes maybe I think in
your case it's upon the individual right
like if you think that you're someone
that can fall victim to Lifestyle
inflation and you think that you
wouldn't be able to control yourself if
you started giving yourself nice nice
things I would say yeah Reserve that
kind of stuff until later but if you you
seem very very grounded and like down to
Earth so I wouldn't imagine that you
started going out and like buying like
super crazy stuff first thing I do when
I move out Lambo baby so I like I don't
know I think that you're probably fine
like at this point I let's talk about
income a little bit later yeah but I
think you're probably making more than
enough to my vote is reevaluated at
22 my vote is re-evaluate in like two
and a half years that's my vote it
depends on how much you value living
with your parents versus having your own
place and like doing your own kind of
stuff and having those Liberties it's
but then again it's all in the like for
me I actually thoroughly enjoy living
with my parents like I enjoy the company
and we get along well I feel like I just
get lonely just there you go there yeah
I think that's also something to take
into account yeah so yeah something to
keep in mind um but2 I would say yeah 21
21 how about that we we'll we'll
compromise 21 then you could think about
it that's my
recommendation because again once you
move out it it's you don't move back mhm
so yeah that makes sense sense yeah do
that do you want to talk about income
are you cool with that how deep do you
want to go really deep as deep as yeah
as deep as possible I want to know
everything I already talked about it on
my channel like what do you guys want to
know income streams and then the amounts
let's see how many income streams do you
have at this
point the Drop Shipping which I had to
stop because of Rona and I haven't
gotten back into it because been
slacking but then we have the YouTube
AdSense and then the course and then I
guess brand deals and real estate and
then the stocks if you want to count
that so got it okay so you got a you got
a good amount where's where's the most
income coming from right now at this
point yeah at this point with YouTube
it's with YouTube yeah I would imagine
the courses oh well part of YouTube okay
so but but like we're we're separating
AdSense versus
courses fair game so
courses yeah there's one courses cuz
here's the thing I don't do very much
brand deals so instead of promoting the
brand deals I'd rather in my course here
and there so so how much is your course
297 that's I don't know like 294 that's
a good price that's a real a real
Bank yeah you know what's funny the
YouTube Creator Academy Down Below in
the description is also actually we're
we're going to do a coupon code how
about that we'll we'll do 100 we'll ours
will be 247 now we we oh
man only in the description of this
video though so if you see it it well it
lasts but uh okay so so that's good so
how much does that do just on the
average
month probably around like 80 to 100
thousand
yeah
what that's dude I'm not like my my my
program numbers are a I don't want to
say a fraction of that say it he said it
uh how how much is it like 30 to 50
you're probably making 50 yeah 30 45 50
50 50
Max probably about 30 30 40 how do you
do so much is it is it just the the
Shopify Niche Drop Shipping Niche thing
is the video where I dropped my course
it actually ended up doing very well and
it's still getting views to this day so
I think a majority of it came from one
video 100 wow a month wait wait it's
okay wait I'm still trying to wrap my
mind around this how often do you pitch
it
only when I make like a Drop Shipping
video which nowadays isn't that frequent
so but like once a
month if that and what how do you sell
it are are you just like hey guys down
below in the description 297 if you want
it you can buy it like I don't push it
okay but I'm trying to figure how do how
do you do so much results sell it how do
you do so much without me cuz I never
mention it and I think like 30 to 40,000
a month is how much it'll make without
me really mentioning it just from
putting it in the description uh I don't
want to mention it too much because I'm
afraid then people just were like oh
he's trying to sell us something so I'm
like it's there if you want it do you
offer like sales or things on top of
that or like I only I only threaten to
increase the price if like too many
people get in I've never had a sale and
it never will that's incredible I mean I
want I want to be like as Fair as
possible so much money you're doing all
you're doing the anti- sales of
everything cuz cuz what I'm done is
basically I'll do a a big sale maybe
twice a year where for 24 hours
sometimes 48 I'll drop the price and
that's it and for 28 hours uh those do
well but I I don't do those too often
because then I feel like it devalues the
the the
yeah Walmart has sales does Louis
Vuitton Gucci Apple have
sales
so grind it's fine it's fine no no
because this is what this the podcast is
all about like we we have these actual
conversations here so I started off
selling my own program no sales at all I
thought the same thing as you and then
all of a sudden I dropped the price by
100
bucks like I think that day it made like
$10,000 I like wow okay so I I I get the
value of the sale so then I'm like okay
well if I just do that every now and
then it'll be fine yeah but then it's
not fair to the people who paid full
price but those people people who paid
full price would have had to wait for
that one moment so there is a value in
in getting something immediately versus
waiting for like that Black Friday sale
that comes once a year um or waiting for
like my birthday on April 22nd we're all
do the same thing there's a value in
getting something immediately yeah
that's fair but I don't know so you so
you just mentioned it occasionally the
full price how do you threaten to raise
the
price well I kind of did did as like a
in the very first video I haven't done
it since but I was going to say if like
way too many people joined in if we're
talking cuz some of these course numbers
like with other people like 100k isn't
like all that much per month so if I I
figured if like a ridiculous amount of
people join in I would then have to just
kind of up the bar a little bit the
barrier to entry and whatnot but W what
else do you give them cuz now I'm just
curious this this is not by the way an
advertisement for the for the program
but you should sign
up if that's we got to get a cut of this
we got to get a kick back I'm kidding um
I mean that's that's the thing though I
don't really pitch anything else so I
think because of that like there's a lot
of like I don't dilute it okay so I
think there's a little bit of that other
than Weeble get your interesting get
your three free stocks Down Below in
description yeah but that's like a
win-win for everybody yeah so but on
okay so on the course I'm trying to
think any other questions um what else
do you offer in the course is it just is
it a pre-recorded program or do you
offer support or like like mentorship or
what is it no it's just a series of
videos basically like a camera over my
shoulder as I run up one of my stores
just how long did that take you to make
I put in some work on that one like the
month before that before releasing it I
was really like in the studio every day
we're talking like full month that's
what I did yeah probably yeah that was
my worst month honestly that that is a
month that was so I don't want to say it
was like traumatic cuz that's like how
but I feel you but that no I took an
entire December and that's when I made
my YouTube Creator Academy an entire
month where I was probably putting in 16
17 hour days every single day for a full
month and I I kept up my posting
schedule didn't miss a single video and
as soon as I was done with that I'd be
scripting out editing planning those
videos it was horrible I didn't even go
out the entire month I stayed inside for
a full month to get that YouTube course
done yeah that's the tricky part cuz you
still got to do the upload schedule yeah
and then when I was done with it it was
the most like relieving I had so much it
felt like I had so much free time even
though I was still like working like 10
12h hour days it's working that 12 hours
it's like what wow I have all this extra
time now it was weird but that's it took
such a toll on me mentally that was like
I'm so burnt out and maybe that's my
problem I went too hard on that and it
just soured me from creating another one
I mean I haven't made one since so here
wow okay so besides that then we got you
how much we doing can I see your all
right let's see let's whip it out man
can you screen record yeah of course all
right let's look at this together so uh
we'll go to
analytics consistent man consistent
views look at those drop I mean the
drops are just what is that for the 48
Hours wow is that okay so very
consistent $330,000 so what did what did
October do
35 wow
fantastic okay
365 so obviously had a spike there
that's oh that's when everyone starts
spiking on that that is just incredible
lifetime have you you haven't crashed a
mill yet that's just in so for all of
2019 it was pretty pretty low there
wow it's just 23,000 1.6 great CPM add
to the Drop Shipping videos
wow there you go thank you all right
that's incredible I'm looking at this
and I'm
just so gosh so so so we're at 13 1
35ish and then what else do you have you
can't say Weeble explicitly but yeah you
could just say Affiliates just like
Affiliates and other sponsors or you
could just say the rest of it blank well
I would normally have Drop Shipping so
that would be a huge like another six
figures I was really planning on scaling
it up and see how far I can get it but
because of the ronon I had to stop so
normally that would be like why did he
have to stop it was the shipping
times and it's I'm shipping from China
so it's and that's where it originated
so it's a little Su yeah I I really got
to hop back on that I've just been
slacking a little bit but normally that
and then I have I'll I'll do like a
little brand deal here and there but
that's usually very low I don't know
average of like wow 2K in a month you're
yeah you're doing incredible I'm I'm
seriously Blown Away thank you honestly
your numbers are insane your total
monthly income on average what would you
I mean it jumps up and down got to be
150 uh lowest probably like around 100
highest 250 my highest month
ever and the thing that's amazing is
19 what do your parents think of this do
they know do they know oh of course I
mean if the whole world knows with the
YouTube and what not yeah they do I mean
they're very supportive what do they
think from the beginning they were
really supportive so shout out to my
parents mom
dad but what do they think
like yeah they saw the amount of work I
they see the amount of work I put in you
know every day I'm I'm on the clock so
it's not even like that huge of a
surprise when I started pulling in like
the Drop Shipping numbers cuz they saw
what I was doing like constantly yeah
but if I were a parent
uh coming from another country and I see
my like 17 18yearold son all of a sudden
making like 30 grand a month I'd be like
what what is this is this
legal you sure well I mean the big thing
they do tell me is because they're from
the Soviet Union they experien like
quite a few big inflation spikes so the
one thing they keep hammering me is to
like do something with the money not get
cash so what do they do for work dad's
like a truck driver mom doesn't really
work so that's crazy you're like a
oneman army as well basically wow so
it's just you even with the Drop
Shipping orders I actually ended up
there was like month cuz I I don't know
I didn't want to go through vas because
I'm like super sussed out about people
finding out the product or not taking it
cuz it's an easy business to replicate
if you know the product if you know the
ad so I'd even want to have VA so there
were months where I would just like wake
up fill out orders go to sleep type of
months eventually I found software to do
that for me so but yeah no no vas I am
I'm I'm literally blown away man I don't
I I I I don't know if you fully
understand like how impressed I am well
I mean it's it's relative right there's
people my age making a lot more so see I
felt this I felt the same thing I was
embarrassed to post you I I swear I was
embarrassed in the beginning to post
YouTube videos uh because I'm like who
would want to listen to me seriously and
and then I start posting like everyone
like w it was so but I was like no but
but this guy over here did did 10%
better it's it's that suring so you're
used so you would say you're used to
this now I mean I don't take it for
granted but I guess I've come to terms
with it it's insane how fast it works
like that like I it's one year of really
high income like that used to it that's
your new Baseline I my my biggest fear
too not obious actually I take that back
this is not my biggest fear but um what
one of my concerns is that you get so
used to a certain level of income that
if something were to happen or go down
it would be so hard to rewire my my mind
for any sort of like I don't want to say
normal work but but anything that
wouldn't pay as much as I'm making now
like it just it it skews your
perspective of how much something really
is yeah but I mean lowkey wouldn't mind
like a regular job it it is what it is
you know back at Target or whatever I
actually photoshopped my face onto the
target I worked at JC Penney oh my gosh
wow truth comes out wow that it's we're
talking about the thumbnail yeah yeah
wow JC Penny so okay so so you're making
a lot obviously we got talk about this
what do you think about the parents
living with the parents now knowing he's
making that much well I had a I had a
feeling it was at least going to be I
had a feeling it was at minimum going to
be like 70 so like honestly the
difference like
between 70 and
150 they're they're both a lot of money
I think the same thing I think it's just
as impressive you're able to save a lot
I I I think the benefit for you staying
with your parents is just to avoid
lifestyle inflation for just that much
longer you're never going to be able to
go back to that again you have a good
relationship with them it's not holding
you back exactly you're good with your
money they're supportive of you I I
don't see anything pushing you out at
this point yeah I mean when I'm at home
I'm usually working and when I'm not at
home I'm not at home I would say the the
right time to move out is when you find
that that begins to hinder you either
socially or emotionally and you need
that that little push for Independence
and just like doing something on your
own and having that sense of Freedom
then I would do it but until you have
that urge to be like you start feeling
ansy I'd say keep it going yeah okay
that honestly that's that's what I think
yeah I respect that let's talk find or
you find a Miss be a hea Miss be a is
there one on the way is there think
about all the content opportunity that
would open up we're talking reaction
videos infinite monetization Loop how I
built my girlfriend a store that makes
girlfriend tries Daye trading girlfriend
tries Drop Shipping my girlfriend bought
my course and is now making 50k a month
wow you know what I noticed um uh what
What's his name Project Life Mastery did
that with him and his girlfriend Tatiana
James Project Life Mastery and his
girlfriend Tatiana maybe she's a fiance
now but uh yeah put her in the thumbnail
and it got like three times all of his
normal views genius wow I'm sleeping on
a bag here you could just like copy your
face and throw some long hair
on yeah something like that yourself
that would be funny I got a viral video
idea teaching a t teaching my Tinder
date how to start a Shopify store that
is genius I kid you not try out this
that content
teaching my Tinder date how to trade
Forex I feel like that'd be hard to
convince someone though for the video
some to be on the video girls out there
you're in Sacramento women the 916 19 uh
so if you're around the area and you
want to potentially be in a video uh
we'll put your Instagram down in
description we can sign a mutually
beneficial contract make your
word there you go so okay well that's
that's I I I so so there's no Miss Bea
in the in the works right now it's just
not at the moment not in the moment okay
but you wouldn't be
opposed I guess yeah the right person so
so we got the DMS the DMS are
open okay okay I put you on the spot
there um now you're making a lot
California terrible all right what are
your thoughts well what with what you
did moving out that's like a I'm
definitely considering it cuz I mean I
could do what I'm doing from anywhere as
well so would you move your
parents I mean it's up to them cuz your
dad's dad's a truck driver your mom
doesn't work so your mom's easy if your
dad's a truck drive I I'd assume that
would be pretty yeah the biggest
obstacle though is just like my whole
family lives there all my friends you
know so just the social aspect of it I
feel like moving
bying States could probably buy them a
home all your friends and like you could
yeah you could pay your dad the I I bet
like the same as he's earning now and
still save
money true I thought about it with the
mount I'd save from taxes I mean that's
a free house yeah I would I would
strongly consider it I've noticed a lot
of people are are moving to Las Vegas
and so I'm actually moving in now like I
feel like I know more like Finance
people in Las Vegas now than I do in in
California in La Las Vegas is a move
yeah it is seems my history of options
trading I don't know Las Vegas all those
casinos oh do you have any other tax
recommendations other than moving out
you not that you just have to spend
money Lambo yeah that that's the that's
the hard part with this is that you have
to spend money now there are smart ways
you could spend money but I've looked
into I've looked into so many options it
was like what what can I do to improve
the podcast or what can I do to improve
the channel my biggest thing that I is
is better set so in Las Vegas I'm
putting a decent amount of money into
into into a better set that's just going
to be better all around so I'm going to
have more places to film from so I
figured that's good money spent
everything else it's like sure you get a
write off but at what cost even if it's
50% off MH buying things I don't need
that are 50% off it still means spending
50% like I thought getting a Tesla Model
X would have been the the best move to
make because you depreciate 100% of the
car in the first year so if I buy that
Tesla Model X for 100 grand in December
it's a full $100,000 tax right off so
that's like 53% off of that price of the
car but do I need a model X no so I'm
still spending $40,000 on this car yeah
but if you buy used and that card car
holds value and you can deduct it and
then sell it for the same price that
it's that's true but if I sell it at the
same price then you're supposed to pay
taxes on that true so then it kind of
negates the whole thing and I get a car
I don't really need so my recommendation
is if you if you need things that you
think will make you more money spend it
but if there's anything beyond that it's
tough man it's tough I mean I've been
trying I bought the whole big computer
screen like try and build up that studio
but it's only so much you have an escort
I take it you run everything yeah one
for the Drop Shipping and then all right
okay so that that's smart um besides
that that honestly it's just moving out
of
state might have to follow of Joe Rogan
yeah be our neighbor yeah I mean I got
to do something like that because this
this 50% thing not a fan yeah and I
think I don't know my my theory is that
it's it's it's only going to get worse
it h it has to get worse because they
have to pay for things
stuff yeah Now's the Time huh so I would
say now is now's the opportunity Mo move
your family you don't have to get some
Mega Place 500 Grand in those locations
and nice locations goes a long
way really even 750 nothing beats that
California climate and that I don't know
that's true I don't argue with you on
that yeah like Texas is just humid
Nevada pretty hot I don't think you're
going to find anything too comparable so
do you think that Drop Shipping is still
a viable option for people now because I
know that a lot of people have hopped on
the train and there's OB obvously like
somewhat of a surplus
ofers still buying stuff
online feel like you just took the mic
all right I me come on that's only
growing it's a growing industry so so
you think it's still a viable option
100% And do you think that one item
stores or just stores that sell multiple
items are a better deal because I heard
that recently One-Stop shops or one item
stores are better yeah cuz you can do a
lot more branding for that one product
make it look a lot nicer if it's just
the single product in the store but that
that makes it so that you can't test as
many products when you're running that
single product store cuz you got to put
in a lot of time on that branding so
yeah it does a lot better but what I
would recommend is either one product
store or Niche stores so like you find a
niche you kind of do some branding
around that Niche and then you can test
a bunch of products in that Niche so
it's like The Best of Both Worlds and do
you think anyone can do this like
realistically or do you think that it's
usually a
younger age group um I mean I think it's
a younger age group because younger
people have more time just free time so
I think partly that's why you see so
many younger people succeeding with it
but it's also just being kind of a
little bit techsavvy I mean you got to
have some video editing skills some
photoshop skills it's like you got to
wear a lot of hats which I think a lot
of young younger people are more like
that
but yeah how much time does it take
uh well setting it up that's the that's
the major time thing but then you also
got to monitor it because Facebook ads I
mean it's a pain they're constantly
sheding them off you got to manually
approve them you got to do all kinds of
things so it's usually just that most of
the time in the beginning and then you
just kind of got to check in on it every
single day and then also depending on
how you fulfill the orders like I don't
know 30 you have it automated it could
be
like how much are you spending on
Facebook ads
oh I actually slept on a huge bag with
the Facebook ads because I was spending
like hundreds well not hundreds but like
over 100k I like my Peak on Facebook ads
per month and I didn't put it on a
credit card oo I really could have had
some nice travel how many credit cards
do you
have
uh I think three or
four what's your credit
score we can look it up that's like our
go-to question yeah I know see I have a
list of just questions like go through
them is that like a private thing I feel
like that's the least what private
credit score yeah I'll tell you mine
it's like
700 no we're laughing cuz we ask
everybody this question yeah it's it's
the standard go-to gram Sten what's the
credit
score sitting at a cool 757 at the
moment okay that's good it's reasonable
and which credit cards do you have or
what's what's your top credit card got
the ax
platty it's the business MX Platinum
business uh for the personal I should be
business but and then what about the
what what are the I just have a regular
cash rewards Bank of America Visa and
then an apple card the city double cash
you got to get the city double cash
really good one transactions like that
yeah for the business yeah I mean it
would be good business I don't know if
they I don't know if they do a business
look into it I actually don't know that
one but if you can potentially if if you
can get 2% back on that that' be huge
yeah that would wow look look into that
one I should have done it with ax got a
bunch of travel points at that point
yeah AMX AMX would be really smart to
use if you're going to transfer those to
a partner and then book some trips with
them like I used Aeroplan back when I
could travel I would use Aeroplan to go
to Canada and uh what was it
25,000 points would get me a roundtrip
plane ticket to Toronto and back 25,000
points how much you have to spend to get
that 25 it it depends on what I was
spending but I'd usually use the sign up
bonus so the signup bonus I get like
60,000 points on that so that would be
like two and a half roundt trip plane
tickets and those tickets were worth
about 400 on the low end to 650 on the
highend that's what I did with the ax
the sign on bonus kind of pays for it it
does that's why I love credit cards man
but lately there haven't been that many
great sign up bonuses that are really
worth taking um the ones I see right now
that oh the Freedom Flex you get $200
back when you spend $500 in the first
three months it's that's a good starter
one for a lot of people to do mhm let's
also talk about spending a little bit
because you're 19 years old right you're
making a lot of money any 19y old in
your position well I'd say 99% of them
would probably be out buying you know a
Tesla buying aari you know a few nice
homes what do you spend your money on
what percentage of it is business versus
personal would you consider yourself
frugal oh yeah definitely Frugal but
when it comes to the cars I I do have
some cars but they're tax deductions the
business what cars what business you
picked up a uh didn't you what is it
let's talk about it I don't know I don't
know what it is what is it I got a G
wagon but here's the thing hear me out
okay full tax deduction I got a good
deal on it under market value how much
is how much that car weigh like 7,000 so
that's the
179 I didn't know you could do that with
gag Section 179 oh I didn't know you
could do that that explains why there's
so many G wagons here in La like all
these celebrities are taking deduction
bu get a good deal and they hold value
really well they do because they don't
change the body St I've seen some of
these cars like a 2004 Mercedes G Wagon
30 grand they don't drop below like 25
ever it's like they're all 30 to 50 yeah
what you Pi your up for with sax it was
around 80 because it was one of the
newer ones so okay and why a G
wagon well for the because it holds its
value really nice and I can tax deduct
it why not a model
XEL a Tesla oh wait okay so you got
what's what Tesla do you have I have the
model 3 why do you need another car uh
marketing expense I have it wrapped how
do you Market that well I have my
personal branding I yeah I have my wrap
on there yeah it's completely company
use so company cool so do you park it in
front of your house and people drive by
your neighbor see
it
basically fair game so so you have a a g
wagon you also have a model 3 what other
do you have any other cars uh
yeah is like this is the plate crash you
can't you can't drive all these cars at
the like okay anyway this was like the
first one I got for tax purposes back in
like end of 2019 because I really had no
deductions so I got Toyota 4ers I mean
it's nice and reliable holds its
value so those are your three cars yeah
what's your daily
driver probably the
Tesla for business
use the business trip to the grocery
store I'm kiding you can cut that out to
go to Applebee's for meeting by
yourself hey it's on the road see the ra
Network Apple pece I get that no that's
that's that's fun it's smart to wrap the
car like that
wow dude I mean you deserve it you
deserve it tremendously hard yeah if you
could buy any car though would you any
desire to do like a like a Ferrari or a
Lamborghini I'd get a maybe a Lambo but
like I'd have to be set set to get one
of those like that would have to be like
nothing mhm I feel like you are
though you're talking about you're
talking about spending one month of your
income on a used let's say Huracan that
is not really going to go down and value
that much you're going to be out the
sales tax which in Nevada by the way
there is no sales tax and used uh
private party car purchases in the state
so you wouldn't have to pay any sales
tax on that am am I hearing this right
Ram Stefan is trying to encourage me to
buy a Lambo I'm just saying I actually
disagree with gr I'm going to air on the
side of being more frugal I know it's
very rare I say don't buy a Lambo you
have three cars already I mean maybe if
I sold all of them and possibly but if I
were 19 Lambo yeah if I were 19 the
Lamborghini is it it yeah
I man I mean the thing is there is an
appeal of being like 19 20 21 with a car
like that it it it's not the same when
you hit
30 it's it's just it's different when
you're younger you're so right you're so
right and you don't want me to get a
Tesla okay nobody wants me to get a
Tesla okay the only person that's
advised is my accountant okay she said
You Know Jack you you got to have a
write off CU write off next year have
nothing to write off literally I like no
Riv whatsoever and she says I need
something she's like are you thinking
about getting a car and I was like well
I want to Tes like extremely badly I
always have it's so only thing I would
Splurge my money on the only thing I
don't care about anything else fancy
clothes I don't care everything's free
right a Tesla that's all I want but but
but I can't justify it I can't do it no
well also you're going to make more
money next year you're going to be in a
much higher tax bracket next year so
whatever you do next year is worth more
money than what you do this year that's
very true
so I mean you're trying to save up for
that rental property stuff right so I I
didn't buy like the cars prior to
getting into rental properties and
whatnot so that was like after yeah yeah
I'm thinking I got to get a rental
property that will pay for the the Tesla
first yeah if you can get enough assets
to go and pay for the car and then the
car is paid for by your Investments then
that's a different
story it's got to happen at some point
I'm doing the exact same thing that you
said you used to do which is like you
want to buy something but then you think
about creating a new income source that
will pay for it and I've been doing that
over and over right like and I'm just
trying to figure out what's my next
thing but I I just still cannot justify
buy not yet Tesla what are you trying to
get what kind model 3 I couldn't justify
spending any more than like that amount
of money on it for game yeah but you're
living the dream dude would I rrap it no
tax deduction oops no I can't spend
money like that that's needlessly
spending money I wrapped it I think it
was a great choice to wrap the car you
got it for free you w no I no I paid for
the cost okay I've been talking about
like company reps by the way what do you
mean yeah yeah like your your face on it
or something well yeah like the name of
the business I I don't mean
like satin the splurging you did out
there what what what's out there on your
Tesla sattin satin rap yeah right but
there's a difference between that rap
and Kevin rap no no no no no no to have
the satin black with the acid green
calipers and emblems that makes the car
more
recognizable a little Su it's
I don't know all I'm saying is I have it
in nice clean big letters so I think it
justifies Everything clean letters but I
think I think you're doing incredibly
well Bravo million times so what else
what else is there yeah um is there any
where you waste money watches not
watches you don't like watches what's
what's wrong with watches got my
phone what are your flexing over there a
little little rly no it's zenth I don't
even know what that means
uh I'd say where I spend my money is
like Hobbies so like snowboarding
mountain biking doing those kinds of
trips and whatnot that's where the
that's the relatability
factor that's it that's
it I agree yeah yeah yeah so I'm just
into all that like surfing type of stuff
so that's where I spend it I'll I'll
Splurge a little on getting some nice
gear and what not but czy a 19-year-old
with a passion for like all these
different like hobbies and stuff like
that but you basically get yourself the
nicest stuff in these Hobbies yeah I
mean growing up it was always like wear
me downs Thrift Shop type stuff but now
I got some money you know I'm spending
on some nice gear that's incredible I
have nothing bad to say I mean that's
the thing like I'm trying to find one
one thing to criticize well you can
criticize the cars I I did a little bit
um I mean yeah you could afford it I
would just I just think that the G wagon
holds its value you could do worse
um but uh I guess you could do worse I
don't know I would have just picked a
model X but it doesn't matter we're
we're try at this point we're trying to
find we're trying to find something and
we're like struggling to find any sort
of critique or it's just it's all good
we make it a nice experience for our
guests here we try we try to find
definitely recommend we're like
investigators like what what we can't
talk everything everything is I would
say almost perfect I mean I try my best
it's been a real blessing how how much
do you work like do you work a lot oh
that's a good question or would you do
you have a lot of free time because you
only post once a week you skipped today
that's an issue that gave Graham a
little bit attack panic attack uh when I
was doing Drop Shipping and YouTube Just
fulltime I mean that was that was mad
stressful like we're talking a whole lot
of work but nowadays that I'm just
mainly focusing on YouTube slowly
getting to the Drop Shipping it's not
that much I mean it's a lot of mental
work as a thing it's like not about even
the I'm actually working it's about the
thinking it depends what you describe as
work cuz if I'm brainstorming ideas you
know I'm just sitting there but I'm
still using my brain and I'm working so
how many hours a day right now yeah
probably like around five 6 what's your
schedule usually like like what time do
you wake up what time do you go to bed
lately I've been waking up nice and
early like 6:00 a.m. for all the day
trading videos I've been doing so that's
actually pushed me to wake up early
which is nice but yeah wake up around
6:00 a.m. get everything out of the way
and then have the day
free oh my God I see it's I don't I
don't like my mind doesn't even
comprehend that anymore because most of
our most of my days are like start
around 6:00 to 6:30 mhm um usually will
end anywhere between 5:30 the earliest
to about 8 but that's why you're at 2
million subs and I'm not yeah is it two
and a half M crazy
wow but yeah we were trying to get out
oh we we were talking about this a
little bit earlier um you didn't post
today and I said that would I that
wouldn't that would give me so much
anxiety like I would I would Panic the
day before if I knew like I have no
video to post I would be up all night i'
I'd wake up the first thing in the
morning I would go without sleep the
entire day just to get a video out and I
mentioned to you I said once you start
getting in the habit of like letting
those little things slide and not
holding yourself accountable to it it
becomes that much harder to moment and
one of Reas iuse an upload every there's
be new videoed anding some huge event or
like something happens to a video last
minute or like something unforeseen I
will have a video ready every single day
and that's a promise I could make to
everyone cuz I know you missed one yeah
that's the thing that's what I was going
to get into that's that's where all were
wrong missed one video and then the
second time it's like not as bad it's
not as bad cuz you give yourself that
permission to be like okay nothing bad
that happened I could do it again and
that and that's the danger it's not so
much in like taking it a few like taking
a week off or taking a day here and it's
not it's not the actual Act of that it's
just
mentally what excuse that gives you to
then continue that forward but then
again to play Devil's Advocate how happy
are you right now with your life with
your work schedule do you think that you
found a good balance would you like to
work more if that meant making more
money or are you content I mean I'm
pretty good if I could keep making what
I make right now I mean that's that'd be
great you know but I feel like with
YouTube you either keep growing or you
die yeah it's like if you're not growing
your Channel's slowly dying so after
seeing the kind of operation you guys
have running here with what I saw during
that upload I I really got up my game
he's the one he's one of the very few
people that have actually experienced
that's true how many people have seen
that no one are you really the first
well no maybe no not Jeremy uh-uh he was
here during a posting time of a bad
really stressful times yeah all the
holes in the wall it's ridiculous oh we
noticed broken TVs everywhen TVs yeah oh
man yeah no we we are very uh analytical
with everything on YouTube we we
brainstorm probably about an hour for
title and thumbnail sometimes multiple
hours will just go into a title in a
thumbnail like what you see is just come
up as a little notification there's like
hours spent sometimes like a day has
spent on that video just on that title
that you see and then we analyze like
how many views did that get in the first
first 3 minutes how many views from the
notification going out is that good how
does it compare to every other video WE
Post in the last like few months then
what's the retention are people dropping
off after like 5 minutes where's the
issue in that is it is it a discrepancy
is the is the thumbnail just not getting
people to click through if we see after
15 minutes it didn't hit change the
title we see after 30 minutes it's it's
not doing so well look into changing
thumbnailer title I mean it's it's I
I've honestly learned a lot just
watching that I feel like leaving here
will be a new man good I I don't want to
say expect two two uploads a expect two
uploads a week everyone every Monday and
Thursday you can do it you can at least
consistently once a week back to the
crazy thing is this once you get in the
habit of doing that you're going to
realize like how did I ever not do that
and the crazy thing for me too is for a
while this was for almost a year before
you came on uh in March right I was
doing many weeks of editing uh and
filming and editing and posting myself
seven videos a week Jack would do uh
edit the phone calls but some weeks
there were no phone calls for that and I
would post a video a day myself just me
filming the main channel three times a
week filming the second channel four
times a week editing all of it I somehow
managed to do it and now I got to now
when Jack is doing the editing for the
second channel the quality went up on
the second Channel but now I'm finding
myself I'm just as busy mhm he's finding
like he's finding more and more work for
me to do as well like suddenly suddenly
Grammy needs me to do like a little bit
of this and then like I'm like okay I'll
do this and then I get used to doing
that so I'm like okay I'm okay with this
and then Graham's like okay then a
little bit of this he's like it's like
you give him an inch he takes a mile
right like all of a sudden now every
posting day I'm commenting on the ice
coffee hour on the main Channel but we
used to do that together to begin with
but we didn't do it before it you were
we were commenting on the same channel
right but we weren't before and then we
started doing that and that was the new
normal but then all of a sudden that it
booted me off so we kind of had
yeah we were both comenting commenting
on the
same okay so we'll we'll just spill the
beans here so we were both logged into
my account the gram Stefan account and
we'd sit next to each other on computers
just answering away comments and we
would and we would remember we' be like
we'd be like refresh because we didn't
want to hit the same comments so we
would take turns refreshing so Jack was
like refresh okay perfect I'll wait like
30 seconds then I'll refresh and we take
turns refh exposed it was ponic yeah but
we we commented so much that YouTube
banned us from commenting for like 24
hours happened twice it happened twice
we after that we're like okay Jack
comment on the second Channel we learned
our lesson so now I'm I'm a commenter on
the it the ice coffee out yeah the
people will know when it's the ice cuz I
was a little confused cuz I've seen
comments from one of the channels I
always it's a it's a toss is me but then
I also sometimes comment on the iced
coffee hour so it could be both of us
and I have commented on his channel a
couple of times as well so basically
we'll never know you never know which
com we're the same person at this
point so but yeah it's very methodical
but but yeah it's it's just crazy how
you get used to something and that's the
normal and then as I skilled back on
editing I'm just as busy and now I can't
imagine like how did I do all of that
work in the past you're probably just
spending more time on the things that
mean more for the channel it's like
specialization you know that's true I've
been able to dedicate a lot more time to
the main channel do you think me Kevin
is used to uploading 10 videos a day yes
that's yeah wow yeah I respect I respect
what you guys do with all those uploads
that's crazy Kevin used to post once a
week he would take the entire week to
make a video and uh he was like just his
whole schedule was so busy now that he's
doing multiple a day I we had to talk
about this like he had no idea how easy
he had at doing one a week when back
then it was he was busy so it goes to
show whatever you start doing you'll
just get used to that within like a
month 100% when gr I mean when mean was
doing one video a week we were at like
the same amount of subscribers soon as
he started he just skyrocketed oh yeah
and I remember when he started doing one
a day and I was like dude Kevin you
might start getting burnt out from that
I remember I told Kevin you'd get burnt
out and I I give him that I was wrong
are you out um some days I would say
there's probably one day a week I have a
bad day mhm and it's just I'm well I I
get frustrated because I feel like
there's nothing there there's not a new
path for me to do
and so I feel like I I I don't want to
remake the same things I want to make it
different I know people like certain
topics but I'm just not in the mood to
do that and I figure like there there
needs to be a bit of an evolution of me
as a person to continue expanding and
sometimes it's like if you stay in the
same spot you just I get frustrated and
feel like I'm just stagnating like
what's the next step it's not clear so
one day a week that happens to me um but
I'll where where does it end are you
ever going to like cool off a little bit
or I'm sure it's I'm sure it's some
point it's a personality
100% personality I'm sure it's I'm sure
at some point because I I I've always
it's GNA be just as uncomfortable for
you to detach yourself maybe in the
maybe in the beginning but then you'll
probably get used to that as well
probably I I've noticed though like even
when I was working as an agent I would
go through these phases of of like three
years where I'd work nonstop and then I
go through a year of just like taking a
little bit like take take a bit of a
back step on it just enjoy myself a
little more and then I get back into it
I don't know if that'll happen on
YouTube cuz YouTube is so like like
algorithm based that like you continue
building on that momentum mhm um my
thought is I'm going I want to keep it
as long as I can and then when I get to
a point where I can't do it anymore
because I just feel like i' I've had
enough that's the point where I'm going
to start to scale back or just maybe
take a different maybe maybe put more
effort into second Channel podcast maybe
start doing that that we want to do like
a Dr Phil meets uh Judge Judy sort of
thing where I could interrogate people
for their finances that I think is is
probably the next logical step you're
already kind of doing that with a
podcast right but I wanted I like I I
want to build out the whole studio yeah
like he wants a fullon I want to be like
a high chair above everyone else going
to build this out in Las Vegas with with
a Tesla Roadster in the background and
guys are spending too much money that's
what I want to do I I have like a
full-on show type of thing I want to do
yeah I look I really look up to like Joe
Rogan Dave Ramsey Judge Judy um and Dr
Phil I just want to blend all of those
into my own show I mean I feel like
you'll easily if you haven't already
surpass Dave Ramsey in terms of
relevance and whatnot about all the kids
growing up watching you right now I mean
I want watching you that I feel like is
the next logical step at some point is
turning that into its own thing and then
I want to get into like the the whole
like investing like I love Shark Tank I
don't want to copy them but I want to
hear other like get pitched other ideas
did a series like that did you see that
no I didn't they did one where like they
did their own shark tank with El
Presidente there it was great you should
definitely do something like that oh
yeah that that's all for the Vegas
Studio but that's I think the next
Direction uh because yeah I I think
realistically I can't just keep doing
three like main Channel videos every
week forever so there's got to be an
evolution on that I'm I'm saving
this what is it this is big I think is
that camera still on or yeah it is it is
so this is big um I almost forgot about
this
officially starting up my own coffee
company wow yeah I can't tell you the
name um because we're registering it
making sure everything is good to go
this is the sample that was just sent to
me of our coffee we got a few samples in
here that I'm going to be taste testing
over the weekend and then I'm going to
be getting back to pick the right blend
that we're going to be uh selling for
the coffee so this is it's all going to
start here now the first order I think
we're going to get like 2 200 units and
basically I'm just going to sell these
as a break even just to get people's
opinions so I'm not making any money on
this in the beginning I mean this is
going to be FR frankly it's going to be
at a loss just to get this coffee out to
people but by doing that we're going to
be able to get a good sample size of
what people think of this coffee but it
is confirmed it is
happening it's literally in baggies this
a little sus this is uh the coffee you
buying this is cheaper to ship so our
whole thing is we want to ship out
really the best quality coffee that you
could get at the best price even if that
means like there there's not going to be
like fancy packaging or anything I mean
really it's about saving as much money
as possible and getting you a really
good product so I don't want to reveal
too much about this but here's one
sample we got it's called
uh what's that called raspa blend I
don't know Roberta blend Roberta blend I
don't know what that is it smells really
good uh then we got this one we got uh
we got an everyday blend drinking a lot
of of
coffee and then we got a
Brazilian smells so good and then we got
a
Robusta so there we go this is the very
start of the coffee brand so I and I
have no idea where this is going to go
I've never done anything like this
before but I partnered up with a really
great person his name is Noel and um he
runs a company that does a lot of these
sort of packages and marketing and uh
but of course yeah this is uh the start
of the brand new coffee I think it's
cool to be like it's just started here
in the in the dining room and uh
unfortunately I don't have any links
where you guys can get this it's just
I'll make a video whenever it's ready I
think there's only going to be 2,000 uh
units of these and just it's going to be
a test run see how it goes that's it
we're not making any money on this
probably in the first year I mean this
is going to be at a loss but I've never
done anything like this so I'm kind of
nervous I'm excited about it this is
maybe an step so what's the goal are you
trying to be in like Walmart's targets
or no we're just going to be uh doing
this ourselves
online so I don't want to give too much
information out because at this point I
just don't want the concept to be copied
but I'll I'll tell you after this I mean
you might be hearing from Emma chamber
Lan's
lawyer no it's it's going to be I don't
well anyway you'll see what it's going
to be no I'm excited I'll definitely buy
some cool good your flight yes I don't
know if there's anything else left that
we need to probably just outro yeah cool
anything else you want to say any final
words I mean we went over pretty much
everything so I'd like to have you back
at got back you got to come for a
weekend so we can go surfing yeah I'm
down that'd be great yeah I'm glad that
we didn't get to do it this time but you
know what I mean honestly any anytime
you want to come down we'll we'll
coordinate for a weekend just do it I'm
down cool W thanks so much for coming on
it was amazing meeting you you're doing
truly incredibly as a 19-year-old as old
honestly as an any
you're doing really good as a person
yeah thank you I mean it's a huge honor
thanks for having is
that one yeah I was going to say it's a
huge honor being here I mean we're
talking coming from commenting under
your videos being on the podcast wow I
think it I I I think it would be cool if
you made like just just told that story
I think it's wild man I mean just told
it I know but from your perspective like
that just to just to but again do it
again okay but seriously like even you
watching this like commenting on the
video sometimes you never know where
that's going to lead and that's how I
got started like I trying to get the
comments up same here same here right oh
yeah Jack too was an email Jack just
sent me an email and now he's here so
it's just cuz sometimes in life you
never know where something might lead
even just something as what you might
think is just a comment or an email or a
DM uh or getting three free stocks Down
Below in the description for Weeble
sometimes you never sometimes you never
know where where it might lead uh or
starting up a uh coffee gup maybe this
is a huge failure or maybe it's the next
100 million dooll coffee brand I don't
know we we'll overtake Starbucks with
this who knows so thank you everyone so
much for watching thank you for coming
on he flew down from Sacramento just for
the day we literally had no time heed
hours he arrived here and then we did
the very stressful upload and then
immediately came right up here to film
