0:14
this Wednesday July

2024 start off with the
0:22

0:25

0:29

0:31

0:34
Adam the woo here pying hot caffeinated
0:39
beverage achieved walking past the
0:41
celebration
0:42
Hotel so a few days ago was the 12 year
0:47
the dozen year anniversary of the daily
0:53
r a channel I started as a second
0:55
Channel a daily Vlog Channel a followup
1:00
and a more personal view if you will of
1:04
what I do all the time as opposed to my
1:08
main Adam the woo Channel but this has
1:11
kind of become my main Channel and that
1:14
got me
1:15
thinking why have I been doing it this
1:19
long and what is the key to its
1:23
moderate progression Andor I would call
1:26
it success but moderate doing well what
1:30
has been the key to
1:33
that and that's kind of the subject I
1:35
want to talk about I believe that I have
1:38
built a career on
1:42
consistency what does that mean exactly
1:45
I'm inviting you to join me let's talk
1:47
shall you on New Year's Eve 2009
1:50
starting basically let's call it New
1:52
Year's Day
1:53
2010 I uploaded my first video on the
1:55
Adam the woo Channel started doing some
1:57
abandoned stuff things like that but in
1:59
July why so a few years after that well
2:02
a couple years two and a half years
2:03
after
2:04
that here on the daily
2:08
wo I started a video where I was in my
2:10
van and I stated how I was going to
2:13
document a video each and every
2:16
day didn't know what it was going to be
2:18
in fact the first few months if you go
2:20
back and watch some of those are pretty
2:21
horrendous they're only about a minute
2:23
long I didn't know what it was going to
2:25
be I had no clue what this was going to
2:27
morph into and it has since morphed over
2:30
the years into many different styles
2:33
iterations of a daily Vlog and I think
2:36
now I've kind of come into the groove a
2:38
little bit where it's just kind of I
2:40
just showed my day didn't really start
2:43
off that way it was kind of me jumping
2:44
out of a swing or going down a skate
2:46
ramp or running around a baseball field
2:49
and sliding into home it just a bunch it
2:51
just made no sense there was no subject
2:53
matter to it it was just kind of like me
2:56
frail flailing around yelling and
2:58
screaming and that was kind of it but I
3:00
knew there was something that was going
3:03
to come of it and it eventually did and
3:06
just to kind of go back to what I was
3:07
saying there at the intro I feel like
3:10
the reason I am at the point in my life
3:13
I'm at now the reason I end was able to
3:15
purchase a house here in celebration got
3:18
the golf cart able to fly Places Travel
3:21
get
3:22
hotels do the things I want to do is not
3:25
because I have put out a
3:27
series of videos every so often
3:30
that are mindblowing that have gone
3:32
viral that have you know every couple
3:35
weeks or every week or every month put
3:37
something out and one of those just goes
3:40
insanely popular to where I get you know
3:44
some some AdSense off that monetization
3:46
off
3:47
that really in the last three or four or
3:50
five years I've kind of strayed away
3:52
from that formula and just
3:55
basically I'm the consistency and my be
3:59
doing
4:00
that it affords me to to survive live a
4:04
life
4:06
travel not live in a van anymore which
4:09
is how I started I never realized when I
4:11
started YouTube at all that
4:13
anyone well including myself well me
4:16
myself would ever make a dime off of it
4:19
in fact it took me a couple years before
4:21
I even became a partner was called the
4:24
AdSense partner now anybody on any level
4:27
can put AdSense I think if you have th
4:29
Subs or more you can put ads on your
4:31
videos I don't think I put an ad on my
4:33
video till I had about
4:35
8,000
4:36
subscribers didn't really start making
4:39
any money for a couple years after that
4:41
the first time I ever recall being like
4:44
I you know I think I could probably do
4:46
something with this to where I could
4:49
afford things was when I originally
4:53
moved to Orange County California at the
4:54
orange circle in 2015 that would have
4:56
been January maybe early February 2015
5:00
I live with three other people in a
5:01
house it was $2,000 a month we each paid
5:04
$500 over time that number dwindled
5:08
couple of the roommates moved out my
5:09
girlfriend and I broke up so that I had
5:13
to had to foot the 2000 dollar a month
5:16
bill I did that for a few months barely
5:19
was able to afford that that's when I
5:21
decided heck it I'm just going to sell
5:23
off all my stuff go back into the van
5:26
travel in the van and that was when this
5:28
channel kind of really really took off
5:31
quite a bit that's when it kind of I
5:33
don't say skyrocketed but that's when
5:35
that's when the progression really
5:37
happened with me being on the road but
5:38
ever since that moment I've always had a
5:40
little
5:42
trickling of money coming in nothing too
5:46
crazy but just slowly but surely through
5:50
consistency and uploading filming daily
5:53
doing this kind of 24hour hour challenge
5:55
to myself always going out filming
5:59
something putting something out each and
6:01
every morning now into 2017 I took a a
6:05
break for three or four months I worked
6:06
on some big videos but then I kind of
6:08
came back in and early 20 let say 2008
6:11
2017 I took a break at the end of that
6:14
year and then I guess like spring early
6:18
spring of 2018 started to go back to the
6:20
Daily again I've been pretty consistent
6:22
since
6:23
then and I have to say I have a
6:26
rejuvenated
6:28
excitement almost like I haven't felt in
6:30
a very long time since I've got my
6:33
passport because next year be doing all
6:36
the international
6:37
stuff and I don't think I'm going to
6:39
stop uploading on The Daily Channel I
6:41
think I'm going to continue doing it
6:43
anybody that's been watching me for a
6:45
long time knows I Chang my mind all the
6:46
time and I'm changing my
6:49
mind I'm just going to keep going I I am
6:52
really excited about the future when I
6:54
first bought the house at the end of
6:55
last year you know New Year's
6:57
is I decided you know I'm going to do I
7:00
think I'm going to retire from
7:03
uploading very consistent everyday Vlogs
7:06
and I'm going to focus on doing like a
7:07
video podcast I'm going to stay home
7:10
it's time for me to retire from the
7:12
daily Vlog aspect and I I know now that
7:16
that's the wrong decision because there
7:17
is so much I need to do when I see how
7:19
many countries there are that I can go
7:21
to and
7:23
showcase what they have there and
7:27
inspire me to see new things learn new
7:29
things about about the world I think
7:31
it's only just the beginning I think
7:33
really it's kind of the start of a new
7:35
era now I will say after New Year's
7:39
there will be some days off it might not
7:41
be able to go every single day because
7:42
there might be I'm going to try not to
7:44
miss days but there might be some issues
7:46
with upload speeds especially if I do
7:49
cruising and things like that if I'm out
7:50
on a cruise probably won't have good
7:52
Wi-Fi so that's the little asteris it
7:55
might not be every day but it's still
7:57
going to be very very consistent the
7:59
daily woo I'm here to say is not going
8:02
anywhere there's going to be a
8:03
rejuvenated Focus the consistency is
8:06
going to continue again the consistency
8:08
is the key to what my opinion my version
8:12
of success I mean success is in the eye
8:13
of the beholder but I feel very blessed
8:15
and successful to be at the point I'm at
8:18
now and it all stems from me being
8:21
having a a crazy mindset to just never
8:23
stop there's been many days where I have
8:26
not been in the mood mentally to want to
8:29
go out and do stuff I'm always you know
8:32
knock on wood thankfully in the last few
8:36
years I haven't been ill and I haven't
8:39
been unhealthy enough to go out which is
8:41
another thing on the reason with the
8:43
whole podcast thing and the video
8:46
podcast I got to thinking why would I
8:48
want to like kind of pigeon hole myself
8:51
into that world at home when I am you
8:56
know healthy and able
8:59
and young
9:01
enough and active enough to just travel
9:04
why would I want to completely change up
9:07
to formula and go on to the next thing
9:10
I'm asking you squirrel you have any
9:11
opinions on this no
9:14
opinions so I think Now's the
9:18
Time to just continue traveling step it
9:21
up a notch I've only done us with the
9:24
exception of Tijana and brief brief
9:28
amount of Canada which I don't think I
9:29
did a couple Canada videos did I maybe I
9:32
didn't I went on tour there maybe I
9:34
didn't do any videos in Canada also I
9:37
have been to 49 of the 50 states and I'm
9:39
here to announce I have booked a flight
9:42
I have booked a hotel well I didn't
9:43
booked a hotel yet I booked a
9:45
flight to and fro I am going to my 50th
9:49
state before the end of this year that
9:52
way by the end of this year I will if
9:56
all goes well will have done all 30
9:58
current m B stadiums while rooting for
10:01
the Tampa Bay Rays my team I don't know
10:03
if anyone's ever gone that hasn't worked
10:05
been affiliated with the team in some
10:07
facet if anyone has gone to all 30
10:10
stadiums while rooting for the race
10:12
maybe they've done it for rooting for
10:13
their team but I don't know if anyone's
10:15
done it for the rise if so I would like
10:17
to meet them and we could go to a game
10:19
together so that will be knocked off the
10:22
list the second list I will be
10:23
accomplishing by the end of this year
10:26
well I will have accomplished all 50
10:28
states it's taking me a long time to get
10:30
there but all 50 of the US states will
10:32
be accomplished I'm going to Alaska
10:34
before the end of the year and I'm going
10:36
it might be snowing it's later this year
10:38
so that's going to be interesting which
10:40
opens up the door for 24 I like that it
10:43
opens up the door for
10:46
24
10:48
International is
10:50
on
10:53
consistency it really has I mean if you
10:55
want to call this a career I wouldn't
10:56
call this a job I don't feel like I'm
10:58
getting up to go to work
11:00
I mean I guess in a roundabout way it is
11:02
it kind of is a job like if I was if I
11:04
stopped and I hired someone else like if
11:08
someone was walking over here I go hey
11:10
do you want to do what I do pick up this
11:11
camera film all day edit at night upload
11:14
it put the video up the next day they
11:16
would say yeah and this is how much I
11:17
will pay you to do that they would
11:19
probably go back to their friends and
11:20
family and go check out this job I got
11:22
and those folks would say man that's a
11:25
pretty good job so in that way I guess
11:29
you could look at it but when you're
11:30
doing it for yourself and you're
11:31
self-employed you don't look at it as a
11:33
job I just look at it as something I'm
11:37
worked to this point and I'm at the
11:39
point now
11:41
where I like what I'm doing I I kind of
11:43
like going out filming things I feel
11:45
like it's good for my soul it's good for
11:47
my well-being I would say it's I guess
11:50
you could say personal personal health
11:52
but just good for my well-being keeps me
11:53
active I feel good when I go out I don't
11:56
like sitting around and doing things and
11:58
I feel like there might be a percentile
12:00
of people out there that enjoy seeing a
12:03
daily upload no matter what it is maybe
12:07
and I know they can't all be home runs
12:09
in fact very few of these are anymore
12:12
home runs some of them are like a good
12:14
solid base hit maybe even a double every
12:16
once in a while I'll get a you know deep
12:19
into the gap of left field triple round
12:21
in third but they can't all be home runs
12:25
nor do I really want them to be there
12:27
are plenty of people out there plenty of
12:29
people that have far more Superior
12:32
videos detailed research
12:35
videos you know once a week once every
12:38
couple weeks two times a week that put
12:41
so much time effort
12:44
research and they should be commended
12:47
there's a lot of them out there you
12:48
probably know who they are easily you
12:51
you can go through your subscriber list
12:52
and find and realize okay Adam's got a
12:55
different format than some other people
12:57
that I watch and that's fine everybody
12:58
has
13:00
there has their method My Method has
13:03
morphed into what it is now and I know
13:05
it works for me and by me doing this
13:08
method it really as I said has made me
13:12
financially able to travel and I'm going
13:16
to embrace that I know it is a blessing
13:19
to be able to to say that that I'll be
13:22
able I can just be able to go on a plane
13:23
and go wherever I want and film that and
13:26
I don't think I would be able to do that
13:28
be in in the position I'm able to do
13:30
that without the consistency of doing
13:33
everyday uploads for 12 years 11 and 1/2
13:38
years if you want to count the little
13:39
bit of a
13:40
break that's how I make that's how I
13:42
make money it's been quite a few years
13:44
since I had any kind of crowdfunding
13:46
stop selling any merchandise by the way
13:48
if there's any merchandise online that
13:50
bears my name it's not from me it's from
13:51
like a it's a bootleg or a third party
13:54
that I do not approve of but that's a
13:56
whole other story do not I do not sell
13:58
any merchandise I do not ask for
14:01
anything in return except if you are
14:03
interested in the subject matter it's
14:05
always in the title it's always going to
14:06
be listed at the top what I'm doing that
14:08
doesn't interest you I understand but if
14:11
it does I appreciate you watching and
14:13
that is how I make the income I don't do
14:16
any live streams no Super
14:18
Chat not ever going to ask you for
14:22
anything MoneyWise monetary
14:25
wise I'm not going to ask you to
14:27
subscribe give a thumbs
14:30
up share the video none of that I am
14:33
just grateful that anyone that has
14:36
somehow found my channel has because the
14:40
way the the way the the money thing
14:42
works is I put ads on the videos usually
14:44
I'll put one at the beginning one around
14:46
six or seven minutes and one around 14
14:48
minutes and if the video is really long
14:49
I might throw another one 7 minutes
14:51
after that try not to go too too heavy
14:55
on the ads but that's been my method for
14:58
a long time
14:59
and because I'm doing you know 30 well
15:01
anywhere between 28 to 31 videos a month
15:04
depending on how many days are in the
15:06
month of that year and then you get all
15:09
the
15:09
residuals from a dozen years of content
15:14
plus 400 videos over on the Adam the woo
15:16
Channel I honestly don't need those
15:20
other things because the
15:25
consistency no matter what your opinion
15:27
is of the videos what my opinion is of
15:31
each video that's uploaded every day
15:33
sometimes I'm like oh this isn't the
15:34
best video but because I put the video
15:36
up it creates the
15:39
ability financially for me to be able to
15:43
continue on without needing those other
15:46
things it doesn't work for everyone but
15:48
it works for me I can only speak for
15:50
myself what I have melded into I keep
15:54
using the word morphed into what I have
15:57
transformed into is because of that
16:01
formula now there may come a point down
16:04
the road where I might have to do those
16:06
other
16:08
things but I hope not I really hope that
16:10
day will never come and I don't think it
16:13
ever will unless there is a drastic
16:15
change in the platform or if I wasn't
16:18
doing this on a consistent basis which I
16:20
have no plans if I stop being consistent
16:23
I would just stop that's the way my mind
16:25
is I have I go 100% into anything or not
16:28
at at all when I am into something I'm
16:31
all in when I'm not into something I
16:33
don't care that's just that's just kind
16:34
of how that's just kind of how I am so
16:38
yeah just to I I've talked about this a
16:40
couple years ago maybe a year ago every
16:42
so often I bring this up people always
16:43
ask where do you get the money to do
16:45
things did not grow up wealthy did not
16:48
grow up rich my family also not in that
16:54
category as well was flat broke working
16:57
a job quit my job on August 9th the day
17:00
before my birthday
17:02
2011 moved in the van started traveling
17:05
did not start making really any income
17:08
probably until
17:10
2015 years later I mean I had a little
17:13
bit here and there a couple hundred a
17:15
month off of the the YouTube but then I
17:19
was able to start building that up a
17:21
little bit and every year
17:23
since it has gone up a little bit more
17:26
each year I have made a little bit more
17:28
than I made the year before and that was
17:30
even after I stopped all those
17:33
aforementioned things they say don't put
17:34
all your eggs in one basket well I kind
17:37
of did and it kind of worked out for me
17:39
so that old adage not necessar doesn't
17:42
necessarily work for everyone again
17:45
worked for
17:47
me I went all in there was a time I
17:50
think the last live stream I did was
17:51
when I live in Hollywood 2017 18 19 is
17:55
no 2017 that's called 2017 is give or
17:59
take a year I did my last live stream
18:01
was on the Hollywood Boulevard oh no
18:02
actually that same time frame I went to
18:05
San Diego Comic-Con I was with Justin
18:07
scard my buddy count stankus out in
18:09
California we went to Comic-Con and that
18:12
was the last live stream I ever did but
18:14
it was when I was living in Hollywood
18:16
before I moved down to Anaheim for a
18:17
couple years and then a couple years
18:19
later moved out here so it's been 6
18:22
years s years ago and I thought to
18:25
myself if I stop doing these and do stop
18:27
doing the Super Chat stop doing all that
18:29
what if I just devote more time to the
18:32
videos and being consistent in in you
18:36
know the daily Vlogs and see how that
18:37
pans out and I actually started making
18:40
more based on that than I did when I was
18:44
taking a day off of the videos and doing
18:47
like the live streams and then I just
18:49
got kind of kind of got a new mental
18:53
thought of how the merchandise should
18:54
work and how I didn't really want to
18:56
charge anyone for merchandise I
18:59

19:02
stuff and I just wanted to kind of do
19:04
away with the merch now I would like to
19:06
at some point maybe have merchandise
19:08

19:10
would do that I don't want to do the
19:11
whole sticker thing
19:13
again but I can assure you I am doing
19:17
just fine I'm sure if anyone that's been
19:18

19:59

20:03

20:05
crossed my fingers I don't need to cross
20:06
my fingers is worked out in my favor I
20:08
am taking that blessing and I'm going to
20:10
utilize this this and I'm just going to
20:13
I'm just going to go I'm just going to
20:14
travel I'm going to see the
20:21
world yeah very
20:21
grateful for the innerwebs there's a lot
20:23
of negativity and bad stuff on the these
20:26
are Cypress needs Cypress need
20:29
lot of negativity on the internet a lot
20:32
of bad
20:33
things but I can handle I can handle
20:35
that I can I can comprehend that and I
20:39
get that I get different opinions
20:41
everyone's got different
20:44
thoughts but the reality is without that
20:48
I would never be where I'm at now
20:50
probably working at a retail store
21:03
would not be able to travel not be able
21:03
to live the life I'm leaving leaving
21:13
living so I appreciate anyone that Tunes
21:13
in there's people who've been watching a
21:15
long time shout out to you you guys are
21:18
awesome just hard to believe how long
21:20
this Train's been running again I think
21:23
this is the this is only the beginning I
21:25
might look back on this year and say wow
21:27
that was that was the last year of the
21:30
repetitive
21:32
us content it's also interesting I
21:35
always like throwing in new like
21:36
everyone kind of knows oh yeah Adam's
21:37
going to do a flight video Adam's going
21:39
to go do a baseball video but there was
21:41
a time when I was really hesitant and
21:44
the reason I even started doing the
21:45
flight stuff is because I had a couple
21:48
layovers one day it was going to be from
21:50
dusk no From Dawn till Dusk I was going
21:52
to be on a plane like what am I going to
21:54
when I get off the plane what am I going
21:56
to go film I got to do a daily video so
21:58
I thought I'm just going to film the
22:00
flight and it worked out people enjoyed
22:03
it I thought it was kind of a neat thing
22:05
to Showcase what it would be on
22:07
different flights and things like that
22:09
and that eventually became a series in
22:11
the baseball stuff I was really really
22:15
hesitant to ever film a baseball game I
22:17
was like I want to get back in this I
22:18
want to get back into the sport get back
22:20
into going into to baseball games should
22:23
I film it and I did and that's kind of
22:25
become a thing now so again I think the
22:29
the international stuff because the
22:31
baseball stuff after this year is going
22:32
to take a an extreme step back when it
22:36
comes to content on the videos I'm still
22:37
going to go to games here and there but
22:39
it's not going to be anything like I've
22:42
been I've been traveling a lot trying to
22:44
knock off these stadiums they got five
22:45
left five left and the and the stadiums
22:50
current stadiums are done of course new
22:52
stadiums will be built over time teams
22:55
will play in other stadiums during
22:57
exhibition games not EX Bish G when they
22:59
they do MLB does certain certain teams
23:02
will play at other stadiums they don't
23:03
normally play at and hopefully the rays
23:05
are going to be a part of that and I can
23:06
see them in those as well as time goes
23:09
on I probably eventually will build the
23:12
woodo the
23:14
studio and I will eventually at some
23:17
point do the video podcast and all that
23:20
but now's not the
23:21
time now is not the time again once I
23:24
got the passport I all to see how many
23:25
countries I can start going to it's just
23:28
going to open up the
23:30
floodgates and I know I mean I'll be the
23:32
first to admit it a lot of the stuff I
23:35
do
23:36
is fits a format I try to throw in new
23:39
things but I have covered the US I
23:42
covered covered a lot of spots multiple
23:45
times and the the theme of 2025 is going
23:48
to be going to places that I've never
23:49
been and that is just going to that is
23:52
it's going to be so awesome it's like a
23:55
new Rejuvenation a new chapter in my
23:58
life life and the life of this Channel
24:01
The Daily
24:03
woo you know what's also interesting too
24:06
about the consistency thing and
24:08
sometimes you don't you know you don't
24:09
you wake up and you're like it'd be kind
24:10
of nice to take a day off I don't tell
24:12
you last time I took a day off I just go
24:14
out and
24:16
film which is kind of a burden on people
24:18
that I know and sometimes friends and
24:21
family they
24:23
just they put up with
24:26
it but I know it's got to be difficult
24:29
on you know that that aspect as
24:33
well sometimes when I'm like with my mom
24:35
and dad I just think my mom's like my
24:37
mom will even say why' you take a couple
24:40
days off I said I don't know I don't I
24:42
don't know why I don't take a couple
24:43
days
24:44
off I honestly don't know why I just I
24:47
just know that in my mind I must be
24:53
consistent that's that's the only thing
24:53
that works for me
24:56
consistency I could be wrong maybe the
24:58
consistency is not the key but it has
25:01
worked in my case consistency is the key
25:06
to my
25:11
career
25:11
yeah it's a good catchphrase consistency
25:14
is
25:15
key and that goes with anything I am a
25:17
creature of habit I can create a habit
25:20
almost instantly if I eat well for like
25:23
a few days I can eat well for a few
25:25
weeks if I eat poorly for a couple days
25:28
I will continue down that eating poorly
25:30
by the way I've been losing some weight
25:32
haven't done a weighin yet but 50 I
25:35
think is in 31 days as far as the rest
25:37
of this year goes I'm in town for about
25:39
another week give or take a day the
25:41
reason I always say the give or take a
25:42
day is cuz I just sometimes sometimes I
25:44
don't have the exact calendar in front
25:45
of me and I don't want to give specifics
25:47
on what day I'm leaving so I try to do
25:48
the whole give or take a day and
25:50
sometimes I'm just guesstimating but in
25:52
about a week or so give or take a day I
25:55
will be
25:56
departing and in that time frame
25:58
between a week from now until the end of
26:01
September I'm only going to be home for
26:02
about 5 or 6 days I'm going to be gone a
26:05
lot and then I will be home a little bit
26:07
in October gone a lot in November and
26:10
gone a lot of December and then January
26:14
we'll start the international
26:17
travels
26:19
heavily all new stuff so I appreciate
26:23
you bearing with me some people like
26:25
what I have been doing IM ly they like
26:29
the consistency of the the the usual the
26:33
Comfort what like not a comfort food in
26:36
Vlog form of seeing the same thing all
26:39
the time and I can appreciate that
26:42
because I have comfort things that I
26:43
like to see to not Not Quite Comfort
26:45
Foods per se but just Comfort things
26:47
that I like to do places I like to go
26:50
they're comforting to me and I'm going
26:51
to get out of my comfort zone next year
26:54
so I hope you're along for the ride it
26:55
might fail miserably maybe no one will
26:57
care but I will care and that's what
27:00
matters I me it matters that you care
27:02
too but it matters that I am enjoying it
27:05
enough to go and do it and I feel
27:08
like I feel like that kind of hopefully
27:11
comes across in these videos that I'm
27:13
doing what I truly enjoy that's part of
27:16
the reason I do the same five things
27:18
over and over and over because that's
27:19
what I really enjoy and I'm ready to
27:21
find some new things to
27:23
enjoy that's going to do it for today
27:25
thanks for
27:26
listening again just to reiterate my
27:29
career and the reason I am able to make
27:32
money and survive and buy the things I
27:34
have bought I mean I was very very
27:40
unwealthy for a long long long long long
27:46
time actually until I quit my job
27:48
started traveling started doing this
27:50
YouTube until a couple years ago I never
27:52
really had any kind of savings now I
27:54
have a little bit of savings I bought a
27:56
house bought some things I'm able to you
27:59
know able to travel do things like
28:02
that so it's been it's been a fun ride
28:06
yeah when I think back to 2011 when I
28:09
did the first when I quit my job and did
28:11
the first massive road trip in my van
28:14
and was out for a
28:16
month I came
28:19
back out of that month didn't sleep in a
28:22
hotel
28:33
that continued for quite a few years
28:33
couldn't even afford a
28:35
hotel in fact there is a video somewhere
28:38
out
28:39
there probably was
28:41
2014 13 or 14 I've been in the van a
28:44
couple years and I stayed in a Motel 6
28:48
and basically it's an unedited video of
28:50
me just losing my mind that I was in a
28:55
motel sex was so happy
28:58
that I was able to scrape together the
29:01
money and get a hotel room for the night
29:03
not sleep in the
29:22
van you know just saying that out loud
29:23
kind of makes me emot a little emotional
29:25
just thinking how things have progressed
29:27
and wish I could go back can tell myself
29:29
then that it would all work
29:46
2025 all about that International really
29:46
going to do my best to to showcase the
29:49
international
29:51
travels it's going to be a second wind
29:54
for
29:55
me I mean it's still half a year
29:59
off but it'll be here before I know
30:02
it call it the second wind of the daily
30:10

30:10

30:17
vehicle going that route but it'll be
30:17
something new and
30:19
fresh and kind of in
30:21
