Confronting Biaheza | Reacting To His $1 Million Portfolio At 19 Years Old

Watch on YouTube

Video 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.

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

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 sponsor gramarly I remember when I sent my first

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

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
