And the venue has been secured.
Day 16 or 17. We got no venue, we got no
[snorts] people, we got no sponsors, we
got no money. Maybe I should wait to do
it. [ __ ] it, we're doing it live. We
sold half the tickets.
50 plus tickets are funded, doesn't mean
50 freaks will be there, but we're
moving. Feeling amazing. I met with
Ashish yesterday in Beverly Hills, took
the bus there.
>> [music]
>> So I'm meeting with Ashish today. He
runs a Global Icon and he's potentially
a sponsor or talent manager, but we're
here in Beverly Hills.
>> [music]
[singing]
>> One, you got to show up. You got to
perform live, you got to just say yes.
So, we're doing that tonight. We're
going back to Beverly Hills. There's a
late night open mic type of feel. I
don't know if I get to perform. It's at
10:00. Your boy's an energy freak, which
means he loves to be in bed by 9:00.
Greatest day of all time.
>> [music]
[singing]
[music]
>> So you see [singing] how it goes? Okay.
>> Thank you so much, man.
>> [music]
>> Basically the basis to be like
>> Yes. Yes.
>> You know, like right now it's like
hidden and packaged.
>> [music]
>> I'll see if I can set up a day.
>> Really in Hollywood out here.
>> [music]
>> We'll see how it goes. We're saying yes,
I'm feeling alive, I'm feeling
fantastic, and I couldn't be more
grateful for my health, my expansion,
living on purpose, and my few keys for
living a really great life is gratitude,
moving daily, eating well, sleeping
well, pushing towards your dream,
community, family, speaking your things
into existence, and going for something
big that helps you expand, that forces
you to be the best version of you,
living with purpose. We're building
momentum. It feels amazing. I have some
doubt that it was the first push to get
those 50 tickets, but I know we're
cooking. Promo's on lock. I'm wearing 14
million hats, but that's how we do it,
and it's already a success. That's how
I'm feeling right now, and I'm so
grateful for that. Because we've sold so
many tickets, people are hyped, and just
what I've had to overcome to make this a
reality where it's at right now, and
where I'm going, it's just the attempt
already makes me feel good. So, I feel
like I already won.
>> Day 22.
>> And then, I learned how to create a
remix.
>> [music]
[music]
>> I don't even care if people like this
type of music. I'm like, just listen to
it because it's me. It feels like me in
my rawest, realest expression.
>> [music]
>> I could barely sleep. I woke up at 6:00
to just get right back started with it.
And I spent the whole morning finishing
it. It's so fun. It's all my creativity
coming out, and feels like just a new
way to create, and I love that, and it
makes my music better. I'm so excited to
perform it. It feels like, "Ah, this is
where music keeps leading me to more
creations." I can't get enough. So, what
is the passion that you can't stop
creating, that you can do non-stop for
hours, that is endless? That's your
gift. So, oh, 11:11, perfect. Call
Justin right now and commit to the venue
and I'm terrified. It feels like the
right decision. It's super exciting.
Yet, it's just a big decision. It's day
31.
The 11:11 brings me so much peace.
>> Your call has been
>> Okay, anti-climactic.
Justin, what's up, dude?
>> Hey, Steven. How are you?
>> I'm doing fantastic, man. How are you?
And I just wanted to let you know that I
would love Flow Life to be the home of
the Energy Experience.
>> Okay.
>> Let's go. So, I was just super pumped
about that. I just wanted to tell you
live. Let's freaking go, dude.
>> Okay, amazing. I'm really cool. Um, but
yeah, that'll be great. And you know
what? If you do that, um
>> Venue is locked. Let's freaking go. Like
a relief and also terrifying.
Venue secured.
>> [music]
>> Yeah, it was only coming out of the
speaker, not this one, not that one. I
just got that one to work and that
freaking big puppy over there as well.
Watch the difference. Let's go. Big
energy. Come be a part of a special
night for me and [music] be a part of
this energy. Following something beyond
what we can see. Trusting in the calling
and the energy and the frequency. I need
your freak. Everyone has their own
frequency. What's yours? Let's get
freaky.
