In this short YouTube clip, entrepreneur‑coach Evan Carmichael revisits a promise from an earlier video where he said he would line up all fifteen pool balls, let viewers pick a color, and award a set of his Zuga business‑growth guides to anyone whose chosen ball he pockets on the break. He sets up the table, attempts several breaks, and narrates each miss. After sinking the cue (white) ball—an outcome that only the participant Nina had predicted—he discards that result because Nina already owns a guide. He then makes a fourth attempt, successfully pockets a solid blue ball (ball #2), which matches a different entrant’s choice. Nina, dressed in blue, announces the winner as Herman Hermansen. Evan congratulates Herman, invites him to contact him for the full Zuga guide package, and asks viewers to comment with tips on improving his break. The video serves as a light‑hearted promotional giveaway tied to his Zuga brand.

Hello everyone! A while ago I made a video called "Let's Have Some Fun" where I said that I would line up all the pool balls on the table and everybody could pick a color, pick a ball, and if I sunk that ball you'd get a free one of my Zuga guides to help you grow your business. So today is the day. I'm filming it. We got our list of people who've entered and we're gonna see if I can hopefully sink at least one ball from the break. So I'm gonna set up and we'll see who wins.
Okay, here we go. One, two.
Nothing! Okay, we gotta do this again. Again.
Oh no, white!
I sunk the white ball. That means that our winner is Nina, who bet against me and said that I would sink the white ball. Nina already has the guide, so that doesn't count, so we have to do it again. Third time. Nothing! Fourth time. Ha ha! Blue! Solid blue! The first time I sunk white, which wasn't the right answer because only Nina voted for that. So the winner is solid blue number 2. Got it in the hole. And so Nina is gonna announce our winner, and she just happens to be all in blue today, so she's the good luck charm. Who is our winner, Nina?
So the winner is Herman Hermansen.
Herman Hermansen. All right, okay, so congratulations, Herman. Send me a note and I'll hook you up with the complete package of our Zuga guides for entrepreneurs. And if you guys have tips for how I might be able to break better than that and not take 4 times to sink a ball, leave it in the comments below. Thank you guys so much, and I'll see you soon.
