about to head over to I am going to go over to weor and do some meetings over there I'll come back and eat let's go to we work got my camera got my dog let's go [Music] anything else today that's it on Friday Damie and I do a weekly review together um to go over our week and everything that's happened in it um and one of the things that we talk about is something that we loved from the week and something that we that we would like to work on personally with each other whatever and mine from last week was um because I love positivity so much and have such a frustration towards hate and negativity um at times I I feel like I'm hating on hate and I saw this video the other day uh it was one of it was one of like Gary V's uh films that his team has put together over the years and in the video the first thing that they said is like you can't you don't kill hate with hate you kill hate with love um and when I watched it I was just like [ __ ] I feel like I've been I feel like I get so angry when people are negative that I end up hating on haters um and that's not the way that I want to go about it and so one thing that I'm trying to work on is not hating hate with hate but killing hate with love I got my coffee I got a croissant got a river kind of hard to carry all this stuff but we're figuring it out this is like a parenting lesson you right buddy it's like a parenting and carrying all this stuff for my kids what's up brother what up you're insane bro you're insane you're insane we're not going to be able to bring you anymore yeah tell me how your we was sick seeing everyone for uh teenis and weenies was fun that was so fun I love that was such a good time that is like what I was doing at San Diego at my house like not as like formalized or whatever but just bringing people together and different groups of people like I love seeing Blake and Ben having a conversation in the corner or like Jenna and Em's co-workers from poppy just like whoever the different groups were like I just liked that it was nice to just have everyone together and that is like firing me up to like host people at my place more [ __ ] agend and emies camel coffee you guys have to [ __ ] go camel coffee yeah Silver Lake yeah this this place looked unreal you guys drove all the way up to Silver Lake Sunday morning we both were like let's pick a coffee shop we have this running like list on Instagram of coffee shops we want to go to but U most of them are like Silver Lake Los fiz and we're like I will go another time but um for the month of June I have five that are like Korea down downtown LA just ones that we won't normally go to but Saturday or Sunday I want to start hitting the farther coffee shops that are just like on my list the look of you can tell when a coffe is going to be good by the color of the 1000 cof that one look I was literally was like [ __ ] that one is also like it was like an espresso bar like they like when they served it to us they were like have you guys been here before they were like all right this drink this is a 2 oz espresso shot with 1 oz of cold foam don't Stir It drink it by sip there were like the latte stir so it was like a tasting experience no way but I was like that's like the type of like craft coffee experience that I want to have in the future so it was just like cool to like see that in a shop wow up there what a review for Camel to literally so crazy ODS very similar uh in terms of thoughtfulness because I couldn't [ __ ] speak all intrinsic it my weekend was was me I didn't speak from I didn't speak from um when was the dinner night that we had Thursday night Thursday night until this morning so that's Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday I probably said a total of 20 words um and it was unbelievable like it was amazing felt like I went to a silent Retreat wow um the takeaway for me was was immediately was it almost felt like when my voice was gone it felt like the voice in my like because I couldn't talk it felt like the my internal voice was also like we can't talk so it was just quiet that's nice and it felt like I was just resting like it literally just felt like I just rested for 3 Days um and what I was saying to Sam was um so much of the internal just like chatter mhm is so not even needed to be listened to yeah and like when I was when it was um like my mind would like start up and like just literally the sky the [ __ ] just like random things and um and because I was like no we're trying to be silent because we can't speak right now and let's just rest it would like chill and I would just be like wow like eight out of 10 of the thoughts that come into my brain I don't actually need to like answer to but it almost felt like it almost felt like I answered to all of them like whether it's like we don't need to do that or yes or no or no let's not look at it that way or let's try and be more positive or let's try and look at it this way or let's do this it's just like the answering to the thoughts is so not even needed and it was it was it was weird how like clear that was for me of just like um very similar learning from what I feel like I've learned from starting to meditate like when I started meditating it was like it's like focusing on you can focus on whatever focusing on like the sound of the wind and like then a thought tries to pull you away but then it's like bringing your attention back to focusing on the thought of the wind it literally was like that for me it was just like being present and then a thought would come in and I'd be like no we're resting we don't need to talk and it was just like the the it just felt like the my body just went like this wow it's crazy so that was really sweet you're meant to lose your voice I was just like yeah it definitely for sure basically my whole weekend feels like it's been a [ __ ] meditation but it was go it was really good it was really good takeaways from the weekend on my end um a lot of just that reflection was literally just like me I had done all like my to-dos and task of like cleaning laundry cook so from like 700 p.m. last night I stayed up until like midnight which I never do but 7:00 p.m. to midnight I literally like was on my laptop sitting in the dark just like blank not Plage so that that was like kind of how I built that whole list yesterday but doing all of that I was like I want to do what makes me feel good today like it this list is going to keep growing into July the next month next month so I heard something I want to say it was an open meditation but I literally do what makes me feel good today if that's one thing on that list that's one thing and I think that just really helps me with like my self internal of like do this do that like be better but it's like no like I just want to do one thing that makes me feel good today rather than trying to do all of them mhm and then like doing all of them like 20% or half ass and it feeling like a to-do word task that's cool so big takeaway is do what makes me feel good today and then what makes me feel good today is really going to help me feel good for the future what up J how you doing man Mark I'm well how are you brother well man um one question the person that would be a dream scenario would it be somebody that is also on camera themselves or would you want somebody that just understands your vision and is probably a like a a customer that fits the demographic but is filming you all the time this is our question for you because we have heard both of advice don't change the face of the brand which is me but I can't be on my stories 247 so does that affect it brand is that in any way you know um I don't know what the right word is here like make these people feel less connected to me when there's this other face on my Instagram like that I've never showed another face besides mine in 10 years so that's our question for you is this per is this a person that can do product stuff with their hands and not their face and then feed me stuff for my face or is it okay to bring on another face that's our question for love it um I think that you you I I think that the the challenge with it only being you is time constraint and like if you actually can't film something even if a person's filming you if you can't do it every day and you guys are limited to only the amount of hours that you have and you're doing so many other things it the risk of adding somebody else is so low that I think it's worthwhile for you guys to at least try adding somebody that you guys really like um the audience it it might work to where the audience now has a deeper relationship with you guys because they've seen another person rather than just you um at the very least you guys try it out and it doesn't work the same way as yours do after 3 months and then you guys are like you know what we need to really prioritize you being in more content so we got to remove other things from your plate so that you can make this number one priority um but because that's not there right now I think you guys should try somebody else one person a couple people like I don't I don't see there being any negatives to it and I and ideally ideally this person is not to say that you are not talented at what you do but ideally this person is super talented as well so it doesn't feel like you're handing it off to somebody that you're like this is a step down from me ideally it's somebody that step up from you that you're like this is literally what they do is make content all day um and so by bringing them in it's like I'm investing in somebody that is like legit at this we are here and we work and I love working from here here is Damian what that was great and we love working from Wei work because we get to work in conference rooms like this um and just a great place to come [Music] to let's go I am back home now for lunch I do have a call while I'm eating lunch and then I'm going to film content for the Creator X account um edit YouTube video and check some other things off of my list of work stuff what what made you start doing this great question uh I had started doing consulting for brands on T I started a Tik Tok house it got really popular it was all over the news brand started hitting me up asking if I could consult for them teaching them Tik Tok strategy I started doing it with primarily cpg Brands like poppy super coffee belly Welly so on so forth um the biggest pain point that they had was if the founder or the team didn't have access to filming it they needed somebody that could come in and film it with the team so they were like could you find us somebody because we love the strategy we know what we kind of want to do but we just don't have anybody that's like legit at this and we don't know how to find those people so and there's nowhere to go and find creators um so I started just making videos about it and saying is there anybody out there that would that is a legitimate creator that would want to come and do this for a brand and like overnight we had a thousand people that were interested like started this little database and then we've just kind of been building it further and then after like building it and pairing one brand with a Creator just the way that they felt by having somebody on their team it was like okay this is actually something that we really want to dedicate to so that was the beginning of it today has been a day where I have been procrastinating so much and sometimes I just have these days where I am like resisting and like I just am I'm like I'm not I'm doing a lot of nothing I'm doing like these little tasks that are like checking off boxes but I'm not actually doing the big things that I would like to do and that's okay it's all good so I have like an hour now uh before uh my workout tonight so I'm going to actually try and do one thing that is massive so I can leave today feeling like I actually really moved the needle in one way [Music] everybody yeah [Music]
