Every time you do something you don’t want to do, you die inside.

I believe this wholeheartedly!

Doing things that go against your heart or your true self kill you slowly.

The longer you stay in it the more zombie you become. All life gets sucked out of you.

We’ve seen it on every level

Ever had s*x when you didn’t want to and were just going thru the motions?

Zombie.

Ever seen a girl stay in a relationship for reasons other than her own happiness?

Zombie.

Ever seen a man stay at a job he hated?

Zombie.

The more you go against your true purpose the more you die inside.

People ask how I can work so many hours back to back and it not even break me. It’s because I love what I do!

I genuinely like creating dope content for clients. I love making them look like the stars I know they are. I like tapping into their true self and showing their vulnerability on camera. I like developing someone’s personal brand from scratch. I enjoy coming up with the strategy to take their brand and business to the next level. I can do this s**t in my sleep.

Find your purpose. Lock in and go to work. We only get one life.

Doing anything other than what your heart calls for is a waste of time.

What comes to mind when you think Coca Cola? Okay now what about RC Cola?

Character - What people think about you when you’re no longer in the room

Branding - What people think about you/your business even if they’re not using your service

Now let’s take it a step further. How can you get someone to buy into your business even if they don’t NEED your business? You attach a face and a name.

Elon > Tesla
Jay Z & Beyoncé > Music
Jordan > Nike
Bad Bunny > Pop Culture (jk but not really)

Wether you want to be or not, you are a brand.

I suggest you take control and start developing it before people do it for you.

Been about 4-5 years since I’ve had a “real job”

I’ve traveled the country with this camera. I’ve studied content. I’ve dialed in on marketing.

I’ve been a creative director. I’ve been a full time videographer. I’ve been a part time videographer. I’ve been a freelancer. I’ve been an editor. I’ve been a shooter.

I’ve read countless books. Watched tons of YouTube videos. Worked for a Tik tok agency. Managed graphic designers. Managed editors. Managed shooters.

Have had things go viral for me and clients. I’ve studied directing. I’ve dialed in on media. I’ve learned how to stretch out content to the T.

I’ve learned how to create content. How to funnel content. How to maximize the use of content. Etc etc etc.

Yet I still have more to give. I’m truly truly feeling like I’m just getting started.

Blessed.

How do you define rich?

I grew up thinking being close with your family was normal. Truth is a lot of people don’t have or even really enjoy their family.

Thankfully I’m close to ALL my family. Cousins, Aunts, Uncles, 2nd Cousins, 3rd Cousins, My Moms Cousins thru marriage (not sure what they call that) but we’re ALL close. A genuine true luxury.

Anywho, this is one of the last times we’ll all be together for awhile.

Everyone’s on their own journey. I love to see it. ❤️

Few weeks ago Canvas Rebel reached out and wanted to interview me to get my story and input on Video Marketing.

I spoke a little on my background and overall how people can use video to grow their business.

Extremely grateful for the love. Thank y’all ❤️

Side note: 2nd time I’ve been interviewed and I’m still trying to get used to it 😅

You are exactly where you need to be.

If Tom Brady is the NFL’s Jay Z, is Bill Bellichik = Dame Dash? 🤔🤔🤔 More importantly where’s Amil? Don’t know who Amil is?....Point proven. These questions are what we need answered.

Have no clue why I took this photo but I found it on one of my hard drives so here you go. In a world full of Balenciagas & Bad Teeth; I walk alone in my $30 Chucks. Be safe tho.

Excited to wrap up this project for ✂️ Me and went to Arizona, didn’t know what to expect to be honest. Figured there’s be nothing but rattlesnakes and farms but Phoenix and Gilbert were amazing. Definitely want to go back! Mini doc dropping soon! 🌵

2020 REEL! As I was putting this together it hit me that this was all during 2020! Man that’s wild. With so many people down and out this has truly been a blessing. Cheers to 2021, spent most of my New Years flight planning out the months. So many things in store, be on the lookout 😈

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays from Step Dad 🐻 & Moo 🐶 In 2020 I’ve had friends who lost their lives, lost their careers and lost their faith. What a year. 2021 might throw a few more curveballs but I learned how to swim off the coast of Peru amongst Pirahnitas & Hijo De Putas. Be safe tho.

So many people sit on a gold mine and try to exploit it, instead of trying to build off it....what part of the game is that?

19/11/2020

Not even sure where to begin. It’s like every time I go to NY I’m pushed to my limits creatively but this time was a little different. I almost forgot how dope fall was tbh. Being in Florida the seasons kind of gloss over. When I first landed it was 40 degrees and completely gray but the next morning the sky opened up for me. A little egotistical that I felt that way? Maybe 😅 The creative in me. But anywho, vlog dropping soon. Just whipped this up from all the extra footage I had. 🍁 🍃 🍂

Sometimes a man becomes his mission and other times the mission becomes the man. Have no clue what any of that means but nonetheless we’re here. Restaurant week is on its way and marketing will never be the same. 🥘 🍲 🍕 🍣 🌮 🥩

Had fun putting this together and I’m going to have even more fun participating in this event with my dad bod-yogi the bear shaped ass. The way to a Taurus’ heart is thru the stomach and since I love myself I’m embracing my stomach. Let’s go. 🐻🐻❤️❤️

Covid has affected many industries; one of them being the Beauty industry. Many barbershops & salons have started charging clients more. What are y’all thoughts on pricing going up? $50 for a haircut the minimum? $100 haircuts the minimum? Are fades the new Birkin Bag for men? 🤔🤔🤔 breaks down the reasoning for the price change.

I call this....Don’t Be Lazy; Color Grade. Lowkey one of my favorite things to do when editing. I love taking bleak footage and making it pop. Sets the mood truly and the more I learn about it the deeper I dive. A little more educational than usual but don’t worry I’ll post ratchet s**t soon.
