• 2:18
  we're trying to figure out life. So, you know, trying to manage
• 2:22
  everything, it's just, it's, it's hard sometimes.
• 2:24
  But you know, with support from friends, support from my wife,
• 2:28
  you know, things are things are good.
• 2:30
  Yeah, who or what motivates you or inspires you?
• 2:34
  I think seeing other people succeed really inspires,
• 2:37
  inspires me, you know, seeing some of the stuff you're doing,
• 2:40
  you're getting close to, you know, some of your goals.
• 2:42
  And that really inspires me to keep pushing that, you know, I'm
• 2:45
  going to get there too because we're years behind you.
• 2:48
  But things are going well. It doesn't take years though.
• 2:51
  I mean there's people who do have done it less time than me
• 2:52
  and have 10,000 subscribers. It's just it comes down to if
• 2:56
  you if you connect or if you just get that, that one
• 2:58
  opportunity or one moment. What are you currently grateful
• 3:01
  for and are you currently happy and are you currently have what
• 3:04
  your current Co host? So I'm, I'm thankful, I'm
• 3:08
  thankful for my wife. I'm thankful for the life that
• 3:10
  we have together because I mean, she's here supporting me today
• 3:14
  too as well, and she does. Not like chair shots I was
• 3:16
  watching. No, no, she.
• 3:17
  Is kind of freaks out about those.
• 3:18
  Not about that, and especially when we're sitting in the front
• 3:20
  row like that was a bit much for.
• 3:21
  Her but. Seriously though, she's super
• 3:24
  supportive. When she found out, when I told
• 3:26
  her, you know, I was, I was coming to this today.
• 3:28
  We talked about it and she was like, well, can I go too?
• 3:31
  And I'm like, you know what? I, I can't ask for more.
• 3:33
  She's super supportive. I'm very happy.
• 3:36
  I'm, I'm very happy with her. I'm happy with, you know, just
• 3:40
  waking up every day and enjoying life with her.
• 3:42
  And I am happy with my Co host, oddly enough.
• 3:46
  I mean, he's he's a good dude. He doesn't show up and hang out
• 3:49
  with us, but he's a good dude. Yeah, he really is.
• 3:52
  Always like he blew us off this time.
• 3:54
  Yeah, you know, yeah, a little bit.
• 3:56
  But seriously though, I can't say this enough.
• 3:58
  He's a good dude. He's a great guy to have his Co
• 4:00
  host. I'm happy, I'm happy to be part
• 4:01
  of the connection, the Ben Frank connection with both of you.
• 4:03
  You both work seriously super hard and your passion is there,
• 4:07
  your driver is there, your determination is there, and what
• 4:09
  makes it that important to me is your love for the independent
• 4:12
  scene is there and you're not. We don't walk into a place and
• 4:15
  make it about ourselves. We're here to uplift the
• 4:18
  community and make it a better thing and that's why I'm very
• 4:20
  proud to work with both of you and the Ben Frank Connect.
• 4:22

• 4:52
  here. OK, thanks for watching this
• 5:21
  presentation. Like, share and subscribe for
• 5:24
  more. So I'm just going to wing one
• 5:34
  out of you. All right, All right, we are
• 5:35
  back. The post credit bonus question
• 5:39
  with my buddy here. So since the Ben, the Ben Frank
• 5:42
  connects inception, how has things changed for the show?
• 5:46
  How have things changed for you personally when it goes to?
• 5:49
  How to approach making content or or making new connections?
• 5:53
  So I think, you know, I, I mentioned this during the five
• 5:57
  questions, we're not as far along as, as you are.
• 6:00
  So even though like we, we had a lot of goals in kind of working
• 6:03
  with you and getting together and of course we wanted to be
• 6:06
  able to support everything you were doing, but you're, you're a
• 6:09
  big source of what we should be doing, what we shouldn't be
• 6:12
  doing. You've you've had that
• 6:13
  experience before. So it's great for us to be able
• 6:16
  to work with you because we can bounce things off of you.
• 6:18
  We can ask you questions, we can get your advice.
• 6:21
  And I think a lot of what you do and you know, the fact that
• 6:25
  you've been so rooted in the independent scene in different
• 6:28
  ways, that kind of stuff carries over to us and allows us to say,
• 6:31
  OK, this is how we want to handle ourselves.
• 6:34
  This is how, because it's not just like we're representing the
• 6:37
  Opinion City podcast, you're representing the A BJ podcast,
• 6:40
  but we're all representing the Ben Frank Connect.
• 6:42
  And we want people to know that and we want people to understand
• 6:44
  that. When you work with any one of us
• 6:46
  in the Ben Frank Connect, you're working with people that are
• 6:49
  professional, that want to look professional, that want to sound
• 6:51
  professional, that want to. I don't know how to look for me
• 6:56
  but. I'll work, Yeah, but you've
• 6:57
  you've got a you've got a high tension shirt on.
• 6:58
  That's important. I got I.
• 7:00
  Got 1. On yeah, so, but I mean, we want
• 7:02
  to do everything as professional as we can because like we said
• 7:06
  earlier, we want to support the independent community.
• 7:08
  We don't we're we're not doing this just for ourselves.
• 7:11
  Like at the Opinion City podcast, we want to introduce
• 7:14
  people to the person behind the wrestler.
• 7:15
  And so to be able to do that, you know, we have to be very
• 7:18
  professional in everything that we do.
• 7:20
  So we take a lot of care and pride in that, and I think we
• 7:23
  had that instilled in us from the beginning, 'cause that's
• 7:25
  what our goal was, but working with you kind of helped bring
• 7:29
  that out. Awesome well, I'm glad we're
• 7:30
  we're both able to inspire each other and push each other
• 7:32
  forward and we'll see you guys next time we're outta here.
• 7:36
  Appreciate you. That's awesome.
• 7:38
  Alright, get home. Enjoy the rest of your.
• 7:40
  Day we're going to eat.
