Live at the beach! Let’s chat!

Hello everyone, my name is John Humenik. Welcome to the livestream. We're down here at the beach living life good and avoiding that. Yes, hope all is well. Hope you guys are having a great day today. Oh man, the sand here feels amazing. What a great day, what a great day. I hope everyone is having an amazing evening. We're here just chilling and chatting, get some folks on On board and give some casual conversation to what's going on, to kind of give you guys a little bit update on the ministry and such. We just crossed 505,000 subscribers. Praise God for that. We're excited for that and looking forward to launching a new book here soon. I'm pretty sure we're going to be calling it Abundant Mindset. It was a live stream that we put out a few weeks ago, and I believe the Holy Spirit is guiding me into a place where we're gonna turn that into an actual book. It will probably be one of those books that we'll give to monthly partners. So if you're new to the channel, please subscribe. We also have monthly partnerships that we look to do. You can find those on our website at humenik.com/partner, and we'll look probably to include those books, myself, that I'm writing, my wife is writing one, and my daughter will be having one here at some point later in the year. the summer, more than likely, when she'll get hers done. And monthly partners will receive those books for free. So it'll be pretty exciting to have those available. Kind of just working my way over to the ocean here, just chatting. Hope everyone is having a great day. Looking forward to seeing in the chat if there's any questions. Really here just to kind of relax and enjoy the day. We've had some pretty warm days recently in the 90s. And which means when the air is that hot, the water is warming up for everyone to enjoy all the goodness that's there. So it's pretty exciting to feel that. So I'm looking forward to this and seeing how warm the water is because over back near my house, the pools there are pretty, pretty amazing. Looking forward to getting in there and dipping in. So make sure I get some Give people some views as I get my sandals off, as I get close, to make sure I can enjoy that. So let me go ahead and flip the camera so everyone can see, can see it as I get closer. Uh, got the shadow, so you kind of get to see what's going on. It's actually pretty calm out here. Totally. Usually it's a lot, a lot warmer. Hello, Mason. Hello, Sigma Male. Um, hey, Rick, how's it going? So, uh, this beach is down here on the East Coast. So, uh, to be honest with you, there's so many beaches down here, I'm not sure exactly which one this is. Uh, I couldn't find an easy— I could not find a place to park, and so I'm not sure exactly which one this is. We got the pier over here. And man, the water is just divine. Oh my goodness. It barely feels cold. It's like, it feels warm. This is amazing. So yeah, this is awesome. I gotta be watchful because every so often you get like a rogue wave that comes in and basically covers you even though you're standing on the beach. So, I hope all is well. Hey, Mr. Beam, how's it going? Yeah, if you guys have any questions or you ladies have any questions, go ahead and punch it in the chat.

Yeah, there's all— there is actually some folks over here doing some fishing, and, uh, um, you can— when you go on that pier You can buy a fishing permit, well, for like the day, and you can fish off of there and you get some really good fish because that pier is really deep.

Awesome, awesome. Jenna says you're leaving in 5 days. Are you going out on a vacation somewhere? You traveling somewhere? Uh, yeah. Hey, Rainbow, yes, there are sharks here. Uh, usually little ones, not too big. Yeah, usually when it's this warm, sharks generally don't make their way up at this time of year. It's usually when it's colder, if I remember correctly. Heading to Mexico, that is awesome. Yeah, I got a chance to go to Mexico a few years back and it was, it was an amazing place. That's awesome. Hey Miguel, how's it going? Miguelina. Hey Youssef, how's it going? Yeah, this is great. This is great. So down here on the East Coast, I don't know exactly. There's so many beaches down here. They're just kind of, as you can kind of see, they're just, the beaches kind of just run and then they kind of just run. So I don't know exactly which one this is. Yeah, it's awesome.

So right now there's not a lot of people. As you can see, it's kind of sparse. So probably the weekend in a couple days, we'll probably see more folks. Usually the weekdays, they could be iffy depending on how many people come out, how close they are to the beach, and, um, if they've got time to come out here. You're in Hopkins? Awesome. Hopkins, is that— where's that at? Is that, um, I'm not familiar with that city. Is that one of— what state is that? Oh, nice. Yeah, yeah, Minnesota is probably still a little cold up there at this time of year. So yeah, that's awesome. Minnesota is a nice place. I was there, I think I was there, when was it, last July? And I got a chance to go into Minneapolis and we were there for a company meeting and got a chance to walk around the city. I've been there. City, and it was really nice. Really nice city, really nice place. Got a chance to go to see the river and walk around that area. So hey, Braylee, how's it going? And, uh, yeah, that was really enjoyable. I really enjoyed that. It was a cool place. Yeah, pretty picturesque. Yeah, Braylee, you can get a shout out. You the man. Awesome. Braille Robux. Awesome. That's awesome. That's awesome, Genesis. Yeah, I, I'm— if you're up, if you're up north, you're not going to see beaches like this. You got some other things you can see, but the beaches are more to the coast. It's awesome. That's awesome. Awesome. Yeah, but if you guys get a chance, check out my daughter's salvation video. How do you— how do you— oh, sorry. My goodness. Are you sure you're going to heaven? It's a great video. I think it's about 8— it's like 7 minutes long. It's a great watch. And there's my man, my man, Pastor Josh. How's it going? It is Pastor Josh. It is, man. Hey, I got to get my beach time in. I got to get my beach time in before next week. Are you coming? Are you coming next week? I don't know if you're coming or not. Yes, it is the Glory. East Coast, down on the East Coast. Oh, you're not? Oh, that's— I think that's right. I think we talked about that, man. Yeah, so you got— here, here, I'm getting you, um— oh, that's right. Yeah, enjoy the, uh, enjoy the views while I show it to you. Yeah, you're kind of stuck in the same boat as Tracy, because she's due. I think she's due literally in the middle of next week. So yeah. Hey man, you can come down here anytime. We got the space. We'll go hang out and do some cool things. This is the common view, man. This is the life. Well, no, Tracy's over in Houston. So yeah, this is, this is one of the beaches on the East Coast. Yeah. So she's got— she can't make it to Ruston. So we can't— well, I'll be there at the conference, but she won't. Yeah, this is sweet. It's sweet. It is cool stuff. Yeah. And as you can tell, there's not a lot of people here. I mean, you can see it is pretty open. A lot of room for people. We can have, we can have a couple hundred thousand people here and still, still have the space. This is awesome. That is awesome. It's good stuff, man. It's good stuff. Are you gonna watch, uh, Pastor Josh, are you gonna watch the, the livestream? Yeah, the channel. Where are you at on your subs? So those folks who are on the, who are on the live, you got to go sub Pastor Josh's channel. He's an amazing man of God. Go, go sub his channel. He's got some good stuff. Where are you at? Did you hit half a million yet? I'm trying to remember. I'm trying to get to 500,000. I'm trying to think. Oh, 580. Oh, that's awesome. So I got a little bit of catching up to do then. You know, our healthy competition. That's awesome. Yeah, if you guys are— if you're watching, Pastor Josh is a great man of God. You guys got to go sub his channel. Click on his thing, subscribe, watch some of his videos. He's great. It's good stuff. We're, we're, we're on the We're on the clock till a million now. That's what we're trying to do, get to a million. Oh, whoa, are you really uploading 7 videos a day? Holy moly, that's more than I was uploading at one point. I was— we were doing 4 shorts and then we were doing, um, uh, a bunch of long-form content. Wow, wow, dude, that is— that, that, that's amazing. Yeah, that's, that's bringing it. That's bringing the gospel to the world. That's what you want. Yeah, that's good stuff. 7 a day. How many, how many subs are you seeing a day at, at 7 po— posting 7 a day? Are you seeing like 10,000? I a day or like 5,000? I'm curious. Because most of my metrics— 10K, wow, okay. Because most of my metrics, I'll see a spike up to 5 a day. But I've been doing— my name is John Genesis. It's actually the name of the channel. I've been doing the one a day following Caden's thing. That's been yielding pretty interesting results. I'm getting the same number of views that I used to get, but the sub count kind of dipped. That's awesome. Yeah, I'm I have a window to try because the reason why I tried it was because the channel kind of hit a big lull, so I wanted to do a pattern interrupt as well as I wanted to. With the conference next week, I didn't want to push myself too much. And then my daughter who does the heavy editing, she's going away on a mission trip the week after and then doing a bunch of other trips like after that. And so we're like, hey, let's just back this off for like a month or two and kind of relax, you know, kind of coast it in. Yeah, we'll probably hit it hard later when, you know, the algorithm shifts. That's awesome. Yeah, it— I don't want to overwork myself in these months when, when we're going to be busy and, you know, traveling. We have so much travel between— I think my daughter is out traveling between June and July. She's got Probably like three or four weeks of travel in, and then and she's switching schools in the at the end of summer. Yeah, it she's got two mission trips and a bunch of other mission-related things. Yeah, and that's a good idea to go a little harder before your kid comes. That way you can back it off if you can. I would stockpile. I would stockpile short. That way you have them. Yeah, she's a great. Yeah, she's got a she's got a great anointing on her. Caitlin's got she's gonna be a beast and for a long time. So she's gonna be doing really good. She's got I mean you could just see it on her videos. She'll do a video. I'll do a video. She'll get like ten times the views. Like it's the anointing on her. It's like it's kind of like Caden. Like kind of Caden. I'm so happy for Aiden Pody because he just crossed 7 million. And, um, God creates a video, it goes like 4 million views, and it's like, took him 30 seconds. It's like incredible. Oh wow, that's good. Yeah, it's good to have a stockpile of shorts. Yeah, God is good. We'll manage, we'll manage, we'll figure it out and keep it going, keep it growing, see how it pans out. The nice thing about, the nice thing about, uh, this year areas is that it's, uh, oh, that's cool. Yeah, that's the thing about this area is it, it, the best time of year is actually like September, October, like May, April. And so these summer months, it's awesome in the, and for the weather, but it's hard because you, you kind of want to do some things. But you're right, like if, if your analytics dip, yeah, you really have only 2 options if your analytics dip is either go less and let the algorithm push your older content, which it seems like it was doing for me for a little bit, or like you're doing, go harder and force it to kind of, um, you know, basically go with the shotgun effect. Yeah, I, I think that the thing that Caden was talking about was he wants you to create like really engaging Shorts, and so it's so it's different. If you're going volume, it's okay too because you're going to get you'll get a different audience because you know YouTube will be pushing it out differently. Oh yeah, his oh his advice is next level. Dude, the anointing on him for for social media is. It's rare. Like, he— that guy is gonna be— when it's all said and done, um, Caden will have 100— he'll be, he'll be like 100 million subs when he's all said and done. Yeah, I, I just want, I just want drips. Like, if it, if it flows like a faucet, I'll take it. But if I get drips of Caden's anointing, I'm fine. Like, it's, it's awesome. Yeah, there's a bird. There were some— there's some birds over here. They look like they were, um, uh, I guess that's some form of a crow. Let's see, we got— yeah, yeah, definitely, definitely get the extra views, get the extra subs. Get all that while you can. All glory to God. Amen. Amen. Amen. It's great stuff. All right. All right, everyone. So I'm gonna, I'm gonna head on back from where I'm at, head home. Everyone, thanks for joining in. And hey, Harleen, how's it going? And everyone have a great day and we'll try to catch up if we can tomorrow for a livestream. If not, we won't be livestreaming for A little bit. All right, enjoy everyone. God bless.
