    Street smart 101. I got a crazy story-time for you guys in here as well as things that i learned growing up in a rough environment. It’s not just about book smarts, you have to be street smart as well.

    Bro I'm Angolan, I've basically lived in Africa Angola all my life, and I moved to Portugal when I was 17, went to university early etc etc. In my country bad people show themselves more easily and here everyone is calmer when they take advantage of you, even racism is calmer to the point where you don't think it is, but thank God I knew how the streets worked in my country and instinct never lies when you see someone with a look of envy and greed when they see you achieving things with effort, without stepping on anyone.
    Bro I love your content, I'm 24 about to turn 25 and I'll say I had your maturity at your age but I wasn't humble enough to think that my environment wouldn't influence my choices and my success, I thought all my friends were my friends until I was changed by someone I introduced to the environment. My advice is simple, when your friends don't have the same goals as you, they'll suck your energy into old habits, many of them don't mean any harm, they're just being used, limit it especially for those who are getting married or living in a marital relationship, believe me one outing with the wrong bros can change your life completely with or without alcohol.

    Every single one of your videos that I have watched since I came a cross it today, has hit home!! I was listening to you while at work. Now on my way to the gym/ at the gym. You are such a real one! And it’s nice to hear everything coming from someone else! Rather than knowing this stuff and just shoving it away and not using most of the knowledge. It’s nice to know others are on the same exact point/page. I love how you reiterate and repeat the same thing, to get the message across. When I want something to connect to me, I read it again, again, and an again, whether it’s a phrase or sentence etc. you know exactly what you’re talking about and I love it. We all do. Those who are taking in your message appreciate and love it. The way you are delivering. Thank you. !!!!!

Come to find out that MLM company was having a convention in my city (Vegas) that week. It’s crazy hearing you talk about this because I basically had the same experience you did. Gotta stay vigilant out here. It’s a cold world we live in.

    The story at the grocery store is a sales pitch for many companies, I personally worked with a life insurance company that uses that pitch. They are definitely lying but that’s how they are trained to sale their services which is why I left. 8/10 of the agents actually want to just sell you and forget about you 2/10 will actually try to help the person and keep a connection but they will be looked at differently by not just 8/10 that are just selling but the whole company since that’s not how they operate but wanna seem like they are. The services are beneficial don’t get me wrong but lying to sell those services are what made me leave. Good luck brother and keep it up!

    Thank you. Your voice speaks volumes and it comes from the realm of perfect thoughts, infinite wisdom and creativity. That is from God. We are leaders, creators, mentors. There are so many sheep in this world. Looking for there way. But, we understand we have to become something greater and allow what is greater to take control. We have to become our own Shepard and take steps in the darkness while being vigilant and allowing what is good to be good. To be better than our past selves every day.

    This guy man. Maybe make a video about how friends can ruin your life. Maybe relation smart og social smart og eq, because i just had to talk to my buddy and litterly call out his and my friend and say that he cant borrow him more money. Some people choose wrong Paths that cost them everything and then their friends. But many people wouldnt be socially smart enough or grown enough to reqognize when a friend has become a black Hole. because sometimes you need to be smart enough to see that your friends sadly enough can become a black Hole if they fall into the many possible hells that purpose driven men stay away from.
