GT Dave: Couldn’t have done it without my humble beginnings Also GT Dave: I grew up in Bel-Air and went to private school in Beverly Hills. Then my parents sent me to India.
Positively Udo I think that by “humble” he might have meant that he had to go to a third world country to start his business & that’s the most he has ever struggled.
Bro.... this just clicked for me. When I watched this the first time I was like “woah he went to India to meet Sai Baba...” THE INDIAN SAINT SAI BABA? THE SAI BABA WHO DIED IN 1918?!?!?!?! Make it make sense. How in the world did this man meet Sai Baba? Vampire confirmed.
Just another billionaire who is ttying to make people think they are more righteous than they are. He is a slave to materialistic things just like all the other ones.
In all fairness he could be referring to the philosophical idea of materialism, given the fact that he is clearly some genre of hippie, and is a fan of easten thought, it seems fair to assume he may be speaking philosophically not personally. Otherwise he's definitely a hypocrite haha
Fermented tea. Helps with digestion, can calm or give you energy depending on the ingredients and herbs used. His brand is the most basic of them all, he claims to have started it but he didn’t. He just popularized it in America.
Came back here after watching the new video where he invited Cody and Noel over to the lair. Actually such a real cool guy. Forbes totally misrepresented him in here.
i feel really bad for him after watching cody & noel’s video. he’s a really sweet, inspiring, funny, and cool guy! hope people realize that this video doesn’t portray him correctly. love your kombucha!! although please stock your fridge with actual food :)
Pagani Luv his words are fine, actually very inspirational. i’m talking about the environment he’s in and the weird actions(pacing & lemon cutting) they made him do which made him look kind of evil and scary
@@paganiluv9552 ur a fool if u believe everything you watch. Clearly there are some presentational elements that are being manipulated by the producer to make him come off as creepy. Watch the video by Cody Ko and you will see this guy acts nothing like this in person. He said they asked him to do certain things just for production.
How a video is edited makes a huge difference. Pay attention to how eery the music and sound design is in this video. Also he was given direction to do certain things for the video like pace around or cut the lemons etc.
What was the point of this video? I learned nothing from it, other than the fact that the dude was a trust fund kid that sells kombucha. I find his statement that he was raised with an eastern way of living, away from the materialistic LA lifestyle completely ironic and laughable, as we see him driving a lambo and living in an expensive house. I have nothing against him being rich (good for him), but why did they make a video just showing him rather than anything about the kombucha making process?
Israel Gomez I agree that it should’ve been about the process of the kombucha, however, this video was posted by Forbes and Forbes reports on business people making change in the world. Most all of their articles are on the people behind the process not the actual process
lmao that's why we are taking the bus, and he's whipping around in his lambo that's capitalism for you my friend, no matter what it takes, if you are a winner, your a winner.. if you are not, you are not

Even moreso is the true fact of what a real perfectionist,at least in the clinical definition (i think) is nothing pretty whatsoever and usually is catastrophic, think someone who berates themselves no matter what good they do & usually end up mentally lashing themselves into an alcohol/drug fueled isolated depression
@@gtrjoe68 Especially in this context. "I'm a perfectionist" = "I can't stand seeing things not going my way or how I feel the world should unfold, after all, only I know the best way things should be." Come to think of it, a subliminal superiority complex is probably lurking below the surface.
you know that bunny had it's kidneys removed so that it can't pee on his $50k Burberry suit he has his assistants hook it up to a dialysis machine daily
Andrew Urgosik he makes money providing a legit good product while these other companies are trying to make money by giving less value in their product
Andrew Urgosik must be some underage kid triggered at other adult's success. Most likely wanted to vote for Hillary last election but was too young, he probably despises capitalism as well after realizing the most money he could make is in his GTA V video game.
“The humble beginnings I’ve experienced in my life” 1 minute later - “I grew up in bel air, went to a private school is Beverly Hills, I went to a trip to India very early on”
He’s saying an eastern way of living is about your purpose and giving back to the world not about material things like his Hermès, lambo, and mansion in the hills. He can’t add that in because it’s one or the other. It’s like saying I’m a Buddhist monk but I drive a Ferrari lol
Tbh I think this guy is probably not such a douche irl, it was probably more in the editing that they wanted to portray him as a genius savant and ended up with psycopath
Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost.
"It was certainly the polar opposite of being in LA where everything is about physical appearance...." Doctor: How many facelifts would you like? GT Dave: Yes

😆😂😂
Just another billionaire who is ttying to make people think they are more righteous than they are. He is a slave to materialistic things just like all the other ones.
This whole interview was a contradiction
Ninad Ganore pretty sure he didn’t say that. Not sure why you used quotation marks when there was nothing to quote
"eastern way of living... not materialistic... helping people..."
DUDE, EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS IS MATERIALISTIC
He said that while being surrounded by expensive art like tf
To be fair (sort of), he was describing his experience in India. He didn’t say that HE was necessarily about dat life - and he’s clearly not.
In all fairness he could be referring to the philosophical idea of materialism, given the fact that he is clearly some genre of hippie, and is a fan of easten thought, it seems fair to assume he may be speaking philosophically not personally. Otherwise he's definitely a hypocrite haha

It's fermented tea. You're welcome.

Utter lies: he's the ONLY big company saying true to quality kombucha
"people only care about making money"
This video: the Kombucha billionaire...
Gucci belt Lamborghini etc.
@Sven Niles no. Just no. Maybe he has good intentions but he definitely is materialistic.
