0:20 awkwardly walking their dog it's the

0:20 daily

0:22 woo

0:28 is June 23rd I do not remember the

0:30 episode number of this unedited Vlog

0:32 that I have continued to do an upload

0:34 for for well past 1,000

0:36 days I want to talk to you about a

0:39 subject

0:46 titled there's that stinking Crow

0:46 again he follows us everywhere maybe

0:49 he's trying to utilize that bird

0:51 Fe oh come on Crow please let me have a

0:56 serious Vlog for once without you

0:58 appearing and scaring not only

1:06 me but everyone else watching this Crow

1:06 has been following me around since I

1:08 moved to

1:17 California it's the daily woo did I

1:17 already say that what day is it I think

1:20 I got the date right I think I got the I

1:22 know it's Tuesday I think it's June 23rd

1:24 what is the episode number of this

1:26 unedited Vlog that I have not missed a

1:28 day yet and upload yet since I started

1:31 almost 3 years ago think about that

1:34 almost 3 years of uploading a vlog every

1:36 single day without missing an upload and

1:39 doing videos on the Adam the woo Channel

1:41 and keeping up on social media and

1:43 trying to reply to people and live my

1:45 personal life that I do not expose

1:47 everything out to the

1:49 elements also yesterday I did a vlog

1:52 from my home where I showed you guys the

1:55 interior area how it's kind of decorated

1:57 how I am living my life currently with

1:59 my roommate Tyler rans Rock journalist

2:01 couple people chimed in saying how come

2:02 you do not show the bathroom how come

2:04 you do not show your room and the reason

2:06 I did not show my room is some areas

2:08 should be off limits so that is why I

2:11 did not show every nook and cran cranny

2:14 I wanted to say crany which is like a

2:18 cranny crack version of a grandma a

2:23 crany what is a

2:25 cranny hey Grandma we made nooks and

2:28 crannies remember that commercial there

2:30 was a commercial a long time does anyone

2:32 remember I think it was it wasn't a

2:34 worther original commercial it was one

2:37 of those it wasn't it was some sort of

2:40 bread item where they sliced it in half

2:42 and then the grandson was talking to the

2:45 grandpa and the grandpa said grandson we

2:49 made nooks and crannies and then the

2:51 commercial progresses they smear some

2:53 apple butter on there or some sort of

2:55 jelly or something and then at the end

2:57 of the commercial the kid yells hey

2:59 Grand are we made nooks and

3:02 crannies does anyone ever remember what

3:04 video or what commercial that was from

3:08 let's talk a little bit today let's talk

3:10 about stop talking about it which is

3:13 ironic because I'm going to talk about a

3:16 topic that is entitled stop talking

3:20 about it so I'm talking about a subject

3:22 saying stop talking about it and do it

3:26 now what does that mean now people like

3:29 to talk especially now with social media

3:32 and the internet we realize that people

3:34 that are in our lives and people that

3:35 are people that we are associated with

3:39 acquaintances as well as friends and

3:41 people that we don't even really know in

3:43 real life that somehow inundate our

3:46 social media fade feed whether it be

3:48 good bad ugly happy content sad those

3:53 people become part of our life and we

3:56 realize that a lot of people not talking

3:59 to you specific spefically but then

4:00 again maybe I am talking to you

4:03 specifically like to say things that

4:06 they are going to accomplish that they

4:08 are going to do dreams and hopes and

4:11 aspirations that they like to put out

4:14 into the world and this is not only true

4:17 on social media and a lot of people

4:19 could blame social media for this

4:21 because we have instant access to anyone

4:25 and their thoughts that are out there

4:27 but it started way before this I can

4:29 actually remember and even this still

4:32 happens where you will go over to

4:33 someone's house a friend an acquaintance

4:36 a friend of a friend of a friend of a

4:38 friend of a friend somehow you end up at

4:40 their home you are sitting on their

4:42 couch they're sitting next to you or

4:45 beside you or across from you and they

4:47 are going on and on and on and on and on

4:50 about things that they are going to

4:51 accomplish one day I'm going to do this

4:54 you know one day this is going to happen

4:57 one day Adam one day Adam I am going to

5:00 do this and it makes you think I've had

5:04 a lot of friends over the years and

5:06 people that I have known that are always

5:08 saying they are going to do things they

5:12 are going to accomplish these things

5:14 that they seem to think are part of

5:17 their heart part of what their brain is

5:20 telling them to do something that they

5:23 want in life that not necessarily they

5:26 actually really want to work hard at

5:29 they want the final goal but they do not

5:32 want to actually put in the time and

5:34 effort or really have the passion to

5:37 achieve that goal so this all began way

5:39 before the internet and social media and

5:42 it still goes on to this day I'm sure

5:44 right now since I am telling you people

5:46 that I know that have done this you are

5:48 thinking of probably at least 10 to 15

5:50 people in your life in fact you might be

5:53 even included in this because we all

5:55 fall victim we are all guilty of this

5:59 saying that we want something and then

6:01 not actually doing it so I am here to

6:05 promote to you I am here to encourage

6:07 you to stop talking about it and do it

6:11 now what does this mean 5 years ago

6:14 almost to the day yesterday or the day

6:17 before was the 5-year anniversary of a

6:20 video that I did that completely started

6:23 a whirlwind of progression that changed

6:27 my life completely now this video in

6:30 general did not become a huge viral hit

6:33 it did not win over to me five gazillion

6:37 subscribers but it did

6:39 however it did however accumulate quite

6:43 a few comments and a few subscribers

6:47 trickling in and it developed a little

6:49 bit of interest in the other videos that

6:52 I was doing before this video and it

6:55 encouraged me to continue making videos

6:58 and I'm convinced without me doing this

7:00 one video I might have gotten a little

7:04 discouraged and probably not has been as

7:06 passionate about continuing my quest for

7:09 actually going out and filming random

7:12 adventures and then progressing into

7:13 movie locations theme parks wild wacky

7:17 roadside attractions and then after that

7:20 these Vlogs which all this stemmed from

7:23 basically one video now this one video

7:26 like I was saying is not the complete

7:28 Turning Point but it definitely got the

7:31 ball rolling and what I discovered the

7:32 other night that this one video is

7:34 reaching the fiveyear

7:36 anniversary it really made me think

7:39 about how one or two key elements that

7:43 we actually put into our lives and put

7:46 ourselves out there stopping talking

7:49 about it and actually doing it if you

7:52 have a passion put it out there into the

7:54 world and see what happens if I have not

7:57 would not have followed my own advice

7:59 than we would not be sitting here

8:01 talking together today so very very

8:05 interesting that it is around the 5e

8:07 plateau of that certain video you guys

8:10 can figure out what video that is and

8:13 after that video I started getting

8:14 people commenting it's another very

8:16 interesting fact those of you who

8:18 actually do YouTube videos who are

8:20 struggling with getting subscribers that

8:22 might be getting a little depressed the

8:25 fact that your subscriber rate is not

8:27 going up you will put all this time and

8:29 effort into a new video getting a little

8:33 choked up about this had to clear my

8:36 throat a little bit I do have a lot of

8:39 friends people that I know people that I

8:41 met online that all do videos do not get

8:44 discouraged about video views or what

8:47 you are putting out there because think

8:50 about this one I'm going to share this

8:51 little insight with you it took me

8:54 almost 100 between 75 and 100 videos of

9:00 me working all week getting off on the

9:03 weekends going out and filming and then

9:05 editing after work working a full-time

9:07 job going on adventures traveling all

9:10 over Florida south Florida North Florida

9:13 Central Florida a lot of time and effort

9:16 and work went into almost 100 videos

9:18 between 75 and 100 videos on my main

9:22 channel the Adam the woo channel before

9:24 I reached

9:26 1,000 subscribers when I started doing

9:28 videos not a lot of people were doing

9:30 videos or at least in my circle of

9:33 friends no one was really doing videos

9:35 and I could not actually be promoted by

9:39 other people so I had to promote myself

9:40 I had to put myself into the world and

9:43 just hope that someone stumbled on my

9:45 videos this is before social media

9:47 really took a big burst out there for

9:50 example I like to help out my friends

9:52 and those who actually have any sort of

9:54 thing they want to promote whether it be

9:55 a band whether it be a Blog whether it

9:58 be doing vlogs doing videos whatever it

10:00 is that I am that I want to promote for

10:03 my friends I am more than happy to

10:05 mention it in a video give them a shout

10:07 out plug it on Twitter Instagram

10:10 Facebook so I try to push a little bit

10:13 of people who watch me and maybe they

10:16 would be interested in people that I am

10:17 friends with so I like to push out the

10:19 goodness into the world I did not have

10:22 that I had no one in my corner I had no

10:25 one to promote me I had no one to give

10:28 me a trickle down affect the bump coming

10:31 my way from someone else's Instagram or

10:34 Twitter feed or anything I was starting

10:36 from the ground level and I had no one

10:38 to stand on the shoulders of no one to

10:41 yell hey check out Adam's video so it

10:44 was very very tough for me to actually

10:48 get that first 1,000 subscribers and

10:50 it's interesting because now I have

10:52 reached way more than 100,000

10:54 subscribers on the Adam the woo channel

10:55 it's growing so rapidly faster than it's

10:58 ever grown before for and it really

11:00 makes me think and very humbly makes me

11:03 think of how hard I had to struggle to

11:05 get to that 1,000 subscriber Mark when

11:09 no one watched my videos I think part of

11:12 the reason I even got that little

11:14 propelling to get to the Thousand videos

11:16 was because of this video that I did 5

11:19 years ago on youtube/ Adam the woo that

11:22 one video did not put me to a th000

11:24 subscribers I should add that as well it

11:26 actually just gave me the motivation to

11:29 see people's comments for a long time I

11:31 would do a few videos there would be

11:33 nobody commenting below the video so I

11:37 would get a little not really

11:38 discouraged but I would start to think

11:40 is anyone interested in what I am

11:43 putting out there is anyone really care

11:46 so this one video I did 5 years ago

11:48 changed all that a few people would

11:50 comment on it and I would say this is

11:53 crazy someone I have never met someone

11:56 that is not a family member someone that

11:57 is not a friend a close personal friend

12:00 a total stranger at the time found my

12:04 video and is commenting and saying to me

12:07 giving me advice giving me tips giving

12:09 me pointers giving me constructive

12:11 criticism Sometimes some hate but the

12:13 fact that a total stranger came from the

12:17 universe through the interwebs down to

12:21 my video that motivated me to continue

12:25 doing videos and it all started because

12:28 I stopped talking about it and I did it

12:31 I stopped talking about it and do it and

12:33 that progressed kept going once I hit

12:35 about 1,000 subscribers I quit my

12:38 job had worked in retail for over 20

12:41 years I sold all my possessions I moved

12:45 into my

12:46 van had nothing all I pretty much had

12:49 was my camera my laptop my bass guitar

12:52 some band equipment an air mattress you

12:55 can actually find the video I did which

12:58 was after that 5-year Plateau so I think

13:00 I did the video about 4 and a half years

13:02 ago called van dwelling Adam the woo

13:05 look that up I will probably post that

13:07 on Facebook maybe in the next day or two

13:10 just go to YouTube and type in Adam the

13:12 woo van dwelling and you can see a whole

13:15 Spiel that I gave driving around in my

13:17 van about how I was going to sell all my

13:20 possessions I was going to eventually

13:22 quit my job I was going to hit the road

13:25 I was going to film videos travel travel

13:28 travel and that was another turning

13:31 point and I really at that point did not

13:33 get a lot of good advice from people a

13:36 lot of people in my life were very

13:38 negative about me doing that

13:41 but I stopped talking about it and I did

13:45 it in fact when I I was in a band at

13:48 that time called the new threat the

13:49 drummer in that band Logan at the time

13:51 me and him had a lot of conversation he

13:52 was on the same wavelength as I was we

13:55 would go play shows me and him would be

13:57 driving back home together

13:59 we did not live together but we would

14:00 carpool to the shows and I would tell

14:03 him I'm thinking about selling my

14:05 possessions and moving into my van he

14:07 was very supportive of that I kept

14:09 talking about it I talked about it for a

14:10 couple weeks and then I decided to stop

14:13 talking about it and do it so I did it I

14:16 sold everything I own slowly but surely

14:19 on Facebook and on eBay I had nothing

14:22 when I moved out of my apartment I had

14:23 two bags one in each hand I walked down

14:26 to my van had nothing to move cuz

14:28 everything was sold and I drove off into

14:31 the

14:31 sunset continued working for a little

14:34 while for a few more months until my van

14:35 was paid off and then once my van was

14:37 paid off 2 weeks later I quit that job

14:41 and I have not looked back

14:43 since so pretty amazing pretty humbling

14:48 and exciting how life works

14:51 because of one particular moment that

14:54 goes to another moment that goes to

14:57 another moment to another moment it's

14:59 like a wheel think of it as a wheel you

15:01 have to get the wheel rolling this is a

15:03 wheel the Wheel in the Sky keeps on

15:06 turning and it keeps on rolling but you

15:09 have to get the momentum going and you

15:12 are not going to get any momentum in any

15:14 fashion aspect any sort of way unless

15:17 you push the wheel not with your words

15:20 not by talking but by actually doing it

15:23 so if you have a passion if you have a

15:25 desire if you have an interest that you

15:27 want to share with the world

15:29 I highly encourage you to do that we are

15:32 living in a do-it-yourself age a d i y

15:37 age of the internet anything that you

15:40 are passionate about I don't care what

15:41 it is it doesn't have to be videos it

15:43 doesn't have to be artwork it doesn't

15:44 have to be in a band anything that you

15:46 are interested in you can do it and

15:49 promote it to the world through the

15:51 internet if you are passionate about it

15:53 and people are interested in what you

15:55 are interested in they will find you I

15:58 assure assure you do not give up do not

16:01 stop put your passion into the world and

16:04 first and foremost get off of the couch

16:07 stop talking about it and do it I love

16:12 you guys I'll see you guys tomorrow
