- 1:13This is the Brandon Fogel Show.
- 1:19We'll see you next time.
- 1:27Well, I'm going to take a drink. I'm going to start blasting it with tea in the morning.
- 1:33Like I talked about in a previous video, I like to wait a little bit before
- 1:38I get that coffee pumping into my bloodstream.
- 1:41So I'm actually going to switch to tea. I love tea. Utilizing in the morning,
- 1:45you know, because tea is another hot beverage that is sweeter than honey, you know?
- 1:50It can be sweeter than honey. What do I got going today? What tea do we got going today?
- 1:54Day we got blackberry citrus plus zinc
- 1:58you know it just sounded healthy it
- 2:01sounded healthy it sounded like something that could improve my
- 2:04body chemistry you know and prove my face facial features my face my face my
- 2:11facial features we're gonna get into it i'm gonna start sharing my screen we're
- 2:15gonna we're gonna go into i mean maybe i should do a couple more intros because
- 2:19Cause that might've been horrential,
- 2:22horrential.
- 2:23I don't know. I don't know. That might've been kind of naughty.
- 2:27That might've been kind of like, cause like something that I am kind of struggling
- 2:30with is the whole thing of, you know, you gotta be careful what you put on YouTube,
- 2:35what you put on social media.
- 2:37I mean, primarily YouTube, that's the one I'm most concerned with because they have rules.
- 2:42You know, a lot of social media has rules and you gotta be, you want to be creative
- 2:46and you want to be shocking.
- 2:48You want to be put stuff out there that's gonna get attention that's gonna capture
- 2:52the audience's undivided attention But I don't want to do something stupid that
- 2:56I am my page is completely just shot down because you get three strikes And then you're out,
- 3:01you know this so I hope this is not a short career for me in this in this industry
- 3:06But we'll see how it goes,
- 3:08but I started off with YouTube is BA,
- 3:10you know That's why I'm gonna put on the thumbnail YouTube is BA,
- 3:13you know, and I was actually looking yesterday today can i put in my title youtube
- 3:18is badass or but it's like i was like you just gotta be.
- 3:23And I think it was like, yes, you can, but would you really want to?
- 3:27And it's, I forget the exact wording. What did it say?
- 3:30But it was just like, you can't just, you don't want to have stuff that's vulgar
- 3:35and you got to watch out for profanity and all that because people cuss on YouTube.
- 3:38And I'm not a person that likes to cuss, but I'd like to stay stuff that gets
- 3:42my point across, gets what I'm feeling inside across.
- 3:45Where should you be putting your content? Where should you be posting and blasting it out?
- 3:51That's what we're going to talk about today. you know, and I,
- 3:54I kind of gave it away at the beginning.
- 3:56YouTube is BA, but there's a lot of, there's so many platforms that we can go
- 4:01to and put stuff out there where, what audience are you trying to go after?
- 4:05What audience do you want to build that relationship with?
- 4:09I'm, I'm saying whatever you're doing, put it on YouTube, whatever you're doing, put it on YouTube.
- 4:15Cause YouTube is, I is going to be long-term.
- 4:17YouTube is, is a beast and YouTube is,
- 4:20is going to be the dominant factor in all of them so whatever
- 4:23you're doing put it on youtube most importantly most
- 4:27importantly put it on youtube but there is
- 4:29there's x there's a facebook instagram i
- 4:33i don't know if i can get a handle on instagram instagram it's i have not found
- 4:39that way i i know some stuff like i guess it's because i'm mainly doing stuff
- 4:42like like this where i'm just recording like a podcast like how do i get that
- 4:45like in a consumable fashion like that's actually worth instagram you know tiktok
- 4:51I don't even know what to think about with TikTok.
- 4:53I mean, a lot of my stuff on TikTok does not get traction.
- 4:59And I guess you got to find what you're good at.
- 5:03And you got to like, just, I mean, your weaknesses, just get rid of them.
- 5:09And your weaknesses can be strengths.
- 5:11Your weaknesses can be strengths. You ain't the biggest person, then you're small.
- 5:16You're elusive. You can get around. You can move quicker than those big-time
- 5:21players that have to kind of—.
- 5:23Checks and balances. You can be whatever you are doing.
- 5:27Look at it in the light that it is greatness and it is who you are unique personally.
- 5:34So you do not have to be a ginormous. You do not have to have that ginormous page at the beginning.
- 5:40So whatever you're at, whatever you're doing, you can move faster and quicker
- 5:44because really it is all about where attention is happening.
- 5:49How do you just project that gravitas, you know, gravitas, that is,
- 5:54that seems like a $3 word that was a little more popular, maybe five years ago,
- 6:00maybe, maybe more, more specific nine years ago.
- 6:03I think nine years ago, that's when it had its heyday, but gravitas,
- 6:07like it's when you get on something, you are the, you are the authority and
- 6:12you project that you represent that you show that. that and you, so people listen to you.
- 6:17They, they, whether you know what you're talking about or not,
- 6:20they think you know what you're talking about, you know? And so confidence,
- 6:24the word for tie in Greek is gravitas.
- 6:26I guess that's because people think wearing a tie, you got, you got authority.
- 6:30You, something you, you, you know, you're strong professionally.
- 6:33You know what you're doing. You're a, you're a guy that's got it all together.
- 6:36You know, man, I, I am the opposite.
- 6:40I do not I hope I do not and I I know I
- 6:43have already but like in my videos and in
- 6:46my podcast I know in podcast you can't see it but like in the
- 6:48things that you can actually see me that I'm on camera I don't
- 6:51want I I don't like collars and I was thinking about that the other day like
- 6:55where do we come to that we we wear collars you know I don't like collars man
- 7:01I've not I don't like it you know but like it's like it maybe it looks good
- 7:06and maybe like years from now we're We're going to look back like,
- 7:09why are they wearing collars?
- 7:11Maybe it's like how we look back at our founders and they had those wigs on
- 7:15and all that kind of stuff.
- 7:16Maybe that's how collars are going to be. And even ties. It's all, it's just all in just.
- 7:21In our day and age what people think looks professionally
- 7:24and maybe it's not even collars i don't even think it's just
- 7:27collars it's just like i've never liked that
- 7:30just aura of being like
- 7:33you are the business person and you have to like i've
- 7:36just not liked that you know and i think everybody's different
- 7:39somebody that and like i've been posting stuff on linkedin if i
- 7:41i i doubt this one's going on linkedin i don't
- 7:44i'm not i'm gonna be picky and choosy what i put on linkedin you
- 7:47noobs okay so i wanted
- 7:51to kind of start doing this where i have my my page out there and it doesn't
- 7:54look as it doesn't look as razzle dazzle as i'd like i
- 7:58mean especially if you go to my linkedin page it is not razzle dazzle one bit
- 8:02and that's what i'm talking about like i need to have something on there that
- 8:06is like pop bam you know that people want to people jump into and they're like
- 8:11man this guy he thinks he i mean he doesn't think he knows he knows what he's
- 8:14doing just looking at him. He knows what he's doing.
- 8:17You know, went astray. You went down the rabbit hole.
- 8:21You are Alice in Wonderland going down the rabbit hole.
- 8:24So where should you be putting your stuff out there? Where is the attention popping and banging?
- 8:30You know, banger rang Rufio. Like I said, obviously YouTube,
- 8:35YouTube is the place, no matter what you're doing, put it on there because that is what is going to be.
- 8:40I think long-term that in X YouTube and X,
- 8:44they are gonna be the ones that's my belief that's
- 8:47what i am thinking when i say 10 years from now
- 8:50i think those are the ones and i'm i'm gonna be kind
- 8:52of spooky but i think and i'm
- 8:56just making a complete fabrication of my
- 8:59twisted mental capacity mind but i think later on i'm just being you know my
- 9:05i don't think it's being conspiratorial but i think it's just being just i'm
- 9:09just trying to look down what is going to happen i think youtube and x will
- 9:13twist and combine themselves eventually.
- 9:17I don't know how that would happen and why it would happen and what goes on with that.
- 9:22But I think YouTube and X are going to be the ones that twist together and they
- 9:27join forces and in their own thing that they become the dominant.
- 9:32I mean, they are both dominant already, more so YouTube right now.
- 9:35But X is especially with the new kind of transition into Elon Musk and him just
- 9:42taking over that platform, making it great.
- 9:44And he's going to make it great. And he is making it better,
- 9:47I think. Like, I think right now, really, there's things that are better about
- 9:50it, X, right now, and then things that, like, you might not like as much,
- 9:53but it is getting better, and I think it's going to be awesome, amazing in our future.
- 9:59But I think YouTube and X will somehow join forces together.
- 10:03Now, the people, like, people listen to this, you know, five years from now,
- 10:08and they'll be like, man, that guy, he knew what he was talking about.
- 10:11How did he get that right?
- 10:13Or they might be like, man, that guy is stupid. that guy's
- 10:16what is he thinking videos will come
- 10:19back to haunt you you've all i mean that is
- 10:22like something like i've always thought about like don't press send
- 10:25don't press send and that was like a big thing maybe 10
- 10:29years ago you know don't press send you know our
- 10:32whole dynamic and how we are going
- 10:35through our daily lives is completely shattering to
- 10:39the generation before i this is is the struggle that
- 10:42me and my wife have as in like our children being
- 10:45on social media they're not on social media one of
- 10:49them i think likes to sneak on social media somehow and do stuff like that how
- 10:53much rain are we going to give them you know i would say like for me you got
- 10:58to be wise but it's like i was just talking to my wife about this yesterday
- 11:01you got to give them exposure to it so that like when they're under our roof
- 11:05actually can guide them better it might be better to expose
- 11:09them more to it and show them the right way to do it as much in our limited capacity allows.
- 11:14So that's what like, that is the way things are going.
- 11:18I, and I've always been like that, you know, just like 20 years ago,
- 11:20they were all about, you don't give your inner information out there at all.
- 11:24I think of Ron Swanson, if you are a parks and rec fan that he,
- 11:28he is just his mind. He is this completely blown away.
- 11:30He's crushed when he's like trying to stay off the grid off the map so much
- 11:35that one guy, He shows them that how Google actually can just zoom in and just
- 11:39see his house, his land. And he's just like.
- 11:42But his eyes are just lit up, and he's like, what? Are you kidding me? But that is how it is now.
- 11:50Where we were maybe 50 or not 50, maybe 30 years ago, and just coming into the
- 11:56internet age, and just people not wanting to give information about themselves.
- 12:01They don't want people to have that. They don't want people to be able to see them.
- 12:04It's like, I think we are past that. We are past that.
- 12:07And a lot of bad actors out there
- 12:10that like to take advantage of that know that and that's
- 12:13why we need like we have their softwares out
- 12:16there to try to prevent people from doing bad and
- 12:19evil things you know that to try to take advantage of
- 12:22people and and just rip them off and just ransom
- 12:25them and all that kind of stuff you know i've heard that
- 12:28it doesn't matter how much you want to
- 12:31stay out of their grasp of people that just want to take your
- 12:34take your identity it doesn't matter how much you
- 12:37want to stay out of their grasp and the people
- 12:40those bad actors that are out there that are just like hackers and
- 12:43just want to try to steal your identity it's just they're going
- 12:46to come after everyone and they could get you definitely.
- 12:49Could get you but it's just are you valuable enough
- 12:52to them you know or it's like we
- 12:56got to be like on guard against that kids are so spoiled
- 12:59kids are so spoiled i mean just the things
- 13:02that they have and like back in my day back
- 13:05in my day we we we kept ourselves occupied with
- 13:09the stick we kept ourselves occupied with the rock and
- 13:12a stick you know and kids today they i
- 13:14mean they are just overloaded i mean
- 13:17i mean i guess it's it's our fault it's our fault like we
- 13:20give them these devices youtube for
- 13:23kids like or whatever it is immediately you
- 13:26know because it's it's easier it's it's easier but we also want.
- 13:29To give them access to it so that they are familiar to
- 13:32it what they're kind of coming into this world because that is like i
- 13:35know you got to be wise and you got to be smart with what
- 13:38you provide to your kids and the things that they
- 13:41see and all that and how much you expose them but i
- 13:44think that is where we are headed in this digital exponentially increasing
- 13:48age where things are just getting mad especially
- 13:51with a on with a on i did it
- 13:54again i did it again when i'm saying something and i'm
- 13:57thinking about the next word and i just interposed it juxtaposed it
- 14:01who to pose it i don't know but AI on the
- 14:04horizon AI on the horizon and
- 14:07I mean it's not even really on the horizon anymore it's in our face it is here
- 14:10you know Terminator style is just around the corner turner it turner reader
- 14:15turn Terminator and matrix we I'm we're I fear we're going there I mean you.
- 14:20Listen to you line musk and I very much value his opinion and what he thinks.
- 14:25You should listen to videos about him talking about AI. He seriously does have a fear about it.
- 14:30I mean, I don't think that AI is going to reach level of consciousness of human beings.
- 14:36You know, and if we get to that point, we are, we are apocalypse.
- 14:41It is, it is here and we are just, we are in it.
- 14:44But if you're seeing my page, I am on my ex, man. My ex, you might want to go
- 14:49there and you might want to go ring the notification bell.
- 14:52Actually, there's not a notification. Actually, there is a notification bell on X.
- 14:55There is a notification bell on X. Are we going to hop over?
- 14:59I'm going to share my Facebook.
- 15:00I'm starting to put stuff on Facebook. And actually right now,
- 15:03with every pretty much platform out there, social media platform,
- 15:07and if you listen to Gary Vee, and I've heard him talking about this,
- 15:11that this small window of period that we are in, that we can just post stuff
- 15:16willy-nilly for free and try to build our brand, build our business and everything
- 15:20like that, that window is closing.
- 15:22It is closing. And the thing, and with every pretty much platform out there,
- 15:26it is, you are having to get a paid version if you want to kind of expand and
- 15:31boost your content and get it out there.
- 15:33And that's another thing I broke down and got, you know, I needed to get a business
- 15:37page, an actual professional page.
- 15:39I know I talk about, I don't like professionalism. I don't like professionalism
- 15:43and I really don't like professionalism.
- 15:45I don't, for some reason, it just never jives with me.
- 15:48But like, I think as you go through time, things that you didn't like you kind
- 15:52of, maybe it's because you're ignorant.
- 15:54And I think I'm ignorant about a lot of things. I'm ignorant about a lot of
- 15:57things and why, you know, every girl likes a sharp dressed man.
- 16:02You know, that is something you, that is how it is, you know,
- 16:06because I mean, like the people at the height, you know, I mean,
- 16:10I guess there is like, it's different, it varies. And I'm thinking NFL.
- 16:13And I'm also thinking people that run major corporations, some
- 16:17of those running those major corporate those major
- 16:21corporations runners so they are sometimes just
- 16:24in a hoodie and a sweats and like what you know and just like just putting it
- 16:28out there they just go but then but then you see those nfl stars that you know
- 16:31they're going on camera and they walk into the arena into the stadium or that
- 16:36they walk into the stadium and they look they look legit hot man they are fire going in and it's like.
- 16:43Maybe that, I mean, it's, everybody's different. What do you think?
- 16:47Are you a person that loves professionalism?
- 16:49Are you a person that likes collars, likes ties, likes a suit,
- 16:53you know, likes that get up?
- 16:55Or are you a person that just likes to wear what you wear?
- 16:58You know, at where I work, actually, we're doing more stuff that like me and
- 17:03my friend, we are doing stuff stuff where it is kind of starting like a day to wear certain things.
- 17:13You know?
- 17:13And I love that because I didn't grow up in a Catholic school or grow up in
- 17:19a school that you had to wear a uniform, but honestly, I would love to wear
- 17:24a uniform because I don't even want to think about what I got to wear, you know?
- 17:27I would be fine with just wearing a uniform each day and not have to put a second of thought into it.
- 17:33But where I am, where I work, you know, all that stuff, we are starting a day
- 17:39of where we wear a certain getup, you know, a certain getup.
- 17:43And it kind of caught on last week. It kind of caught on last week.
- 17:46And I actually forgot to wear it, you know, you know, just being the silly,
- 17:50silly human being that I am.
- 17:52I forgot to wear it, but I wish we had more days like that,
- 17:56you know, I, but I just want, I just want to be comfortable,
- 17:59but i guess in a business setting you got to look like you know what you're doing but
- 18:02i you know that that is what it is do you like do you like that stuff do you
- 18:07like wearing a tie do you hate wearing a tie do you love wearing a suit what
- 18:10do you think what do you think so i'm i'm seriously what do you think throw
- 18:16it in the comments do you do you like that stuff you know okay.
- 18:22Take a drink. Take a drink. Take a chill pill, man.
- 18:27Man, if you listen to my intro, that's a pretty badass intro,
- 18:31isn't it? It is a pretty badass intro.
- 18:33But if you listen to my intro, I think it is. I might be a little biased.
- 18:37I think it's cool. I think it's cool.
- 18:40And I think it's cool probably for different reasons than you would think I think it's cool.
- 18:43That you would think I think that I think that you think that it's cool.
- 18:47And it's because the people that I love are in that intro.
- 18:50The people i love are in that intro so why
- 18:54was i even going with that why was anyone saying that i don't know oh it
- 18:58was because of this because every moment well
- 19:02i and i know i want to be podcast ish where
- 19:04i am going hours on time hours on
- 19:07time it's like i i want to be doing that but
- 19:10in my intro it says every moment is an electrifying event and
- 19:14i want every moment to be an electrifying because what I
- 19:17cannot with my built up makeup
- 19:20and body language and ability to
- 19:24be charismatic and enthusiastic and
- 19:27all that stuff I do not have a lot of that stuff I you know maybe I'm not the
- 19:31most exciting individual out there but I want to be as exciting and I want to
- 19:37be everything just hot wire lightning speed everything going because I want
- 19:42to get people's attention I want I want to make you,
- 19:45I want to bring stuff that you love and enjoy. And I'm going to do that.
- 19:48Every video I'm going to do that, I'm going to get greater at it.
- 19:52As you can see, I am passionate about it because I want to be awesome at what I'm doing.
- 19:57And I want people to come alongside and I want you to be awesome at what you're
- 20:01doing. And then we can just roll together.
- 20:04Roll, big style, pumping all the way to the top, baby. To the top. We're going to the top.
- 20:11I just think of, you know, Leonardo DiCaprio, Wolf of Wall Street, you know?
- 20:17I'm not leaving. I'm not leaving. I'm not leaving!
- 20:23If you know what I'm talking about, he says that. I love his passion,
- 20:27and that's why he is my favorite actor.
- 20:29Leonardo DiCaprio, he is awesome, and I will say it over and over.
- 20:32I'll say it over video if I have to. He's my favorite actor.
- 20:35He is good at what he does.
- 20:37So I need to start wrapping it up. I need to start dialing in,
- 20:41closing shop, getting on with my day so that you can get on with your day.
- 20:46But I want to give you that boost, that jolt of adrenaline to send you off so
- 20:51that you can, you are fired up.
- 20:53Live life like you are fired up, that you are living with purpose,
- 20:57living with amazing targeted purpose in your life that you want to go after
- 21:04and accomplish the things that you have set your mind to.
- 21:07Think through the, I'm going through puberty, but think through those things.
- 21:11Have those in your mind. What do you want to get out of life?
- 21:13Life what do you want to be doing and just balls to the wall do it get after it go after it 110.
- 21:22Man so but i start off where should you be posting stuff and i'm gonna switch
- 21:27over we're gonna maybe dial it back in and we're gonna go to my youtube page
- 21:31because that is this youtube is ba the the things that it has given people the
- 21:37opportunity to do is awesome and to build their brand build their business,
- 21:42whatever you're doing, post it on YouTube, put it on LinkedIn,
- 21:45put it on X, put it on Facebook, put it on all those platforms.
- 21:49And there's so many of them out there and put them on all of those,
- 21:53but whatever you do, put it on YouTube, put it on YouTube because that is,
- 21:59that is the monster that is growing.
- 22:02I don't want to say monster, man. I mean, that is it.
- 22:05It's anything can be used for evil or good, you know, and it's just how people
- 22:10want to wield certain things.
- 22:12But I think it is going to be awesome. And if you heard, if you're listening
- 22:16at the beginning, I think I'm being just a, just a nervous Nelly.
- 22:21I don't think I'm being nervous. I don't think, I think it will be exciting,
- 22:24but I think X and YouTube will combine forces.
- 22:27I'm just putting that out there. I think they will become YouTube X or X tube.
- 22:33I don't know. No, I think that that will happen.
- 22:35I, and that's just me just like, but I have been wrong before.
- 22:39I've actually been wrong a lot more than I've been right. A lot more than I've
- 22:42been right. But I'm just putting that out there, putting that out there.
- 22:46So put yourself out there, put it on YouTube, blast it out, go after,
- 22:51go out into your day, everything you're doing.
- 22:53If you can start recording your life in any way possible, because it's not even just that.
- 22:57It's not even just so you can get, reach an audience right now.
- 23:00It's going to be last through the.
- 23:02The winds of time, the sands, winds of time, the sands of time is what's going
- 23:06to last, say, generations from now.
- 23:08Unless, you know, unless the apocalypse happens sooner rather than later.
- 23:12That is what it, just like we have records of people in history.
- 23:15And so somebody like fast forward 5,000 years from now, you know,
- 23:20this person in this ultra, I don't even know what I'm trying to say.
- 23:24They're like, look at these primitive folk.
- 23:26Look at these primitive folk. And they think that they're posting stuff and
- 23:29they're maybe talking in a different language.
- 23:31I don't know. but they're like who knows what people might be watching a thousand
- 23:35years from now and like looking back at the stuff that we were doing but i was
- 23:39actually more saying it not even just for that kind of futuristic sci-fi tinfoil
- 23:44hat kind of mindset that i i definitely have but also that.
- 23:49When you post up your future generations can
- 23:53see who you were right now i cannot go look back
- 23:55and see as much as i'd love i can see
- 23:58like that my my grandpa and everything and pictures and stuff like
- 24:01that in some video that we captured but the
- 24:04stuff that you put on the internet is going to be for your future
- 24:08generations for your future grandkids they're going to be seeing and that's
- 24:11that made me give me cause to pause like i'm trying to really be putting this
- 24:15stuff up but like i'm going to be as authentic and true to myself as possible
- 24:18so that my future grandkids they see who their grandpa was so that my future
- 24:23grandkids that they see that you know and anyone one,
- 24:27you know, just anyone in my family, anyone in your family line,
- 24:30they see who you were and they know what you're like and that you show them.
- 24:33I mean, that's why you want to be smart because and give a good example to them as much as possible.
- 24:40I know I'd be silly and all that kind of stuff on here, but I want to also give
- 24:43them good stuff that they saw who I was and that, you know, that I left a good impression with them.
- 24:50So think about that aspect of it as well. It's like YouTube and everything is
- 24:55probably going to get even crazier,
- 24:56but put it on there, put your stuff on there that, that your future family sees
- 25:02who you were and, and just, and can look back and remember how much, like,
- 25:07I mean, just have a window in time there.
- 25:09They'll have a screenshot in time. It won't just be a photograph.
- 25:12It will be video content of them actually seeing it, seeing you.
- 25:16So that's just another food for thought. Be thinking about that.
- 25:19Put it out there, put it on YouTube. and just whatever you're doing, kill it, get after it.
- 25:24And I hope you have a wonderful day and I will see you in the next episode.
