THIS WAS A DISASTER

Rob Lipsett's Dublin creator event nearly fell apart when flights for speakers Christian Guzman, Max, and Shawley got cancelled, stranding them at the airport overnight. He tours the venue, showcases sponsors like Alphalete and Body First Nutrition, and documents the stress and sleeplessness of pulling it together.

Yo, what's going on everyone? Welcome to today's vlog. And now you know I keep it real on this channel, and today was meant to be a real kind of happy vlog, you know, everyone was meant to be arriving into Dublin today, and then a few things went wrong. So long story short, Christian, Max, and Shawley's flights all got cancelled, and now they've had to stay overnight in the airport. I feel terrible. I feel like the weather in Canada is my fault. Where they had to get their flight connection, and it's just, it's an awful lot of hassle and stress. But what I want to talk about in this vlog is everything does not always go perfect for me. If anything, it's the opposite sometimes. And yo, we were facing a load of complications with the venue for the event, and just, you know, problems arise when you are organizing something on this scale. And it's really easy for me to be negative about this, and I was just going to bed when the lads text me about their flights being cancelled. Cancelled, and you should have seen the look on my face. I was literally just like, you joking me? Yes! Yes! So good to see you guys. Oh man, what a feel! What a feel! Nabil, I think you're a protein bar addict. I am. I think you look— I I am too, like I'm not gonna lie. Oh yeah, full on. There's something about them, they're just more satisfying than a normal bar. They are, man, honestly. Do you remember our conversation about this? Yeah, yeah, we go in depth on the protein bars. All right guys, so this is the accommodation that all the international speakers are staying in for the creator event this weekend, and it is 5starstay.com. It's like a new business, a new company, and it's just like the location, the aesthetic, you know, it's very Instagrammable, it's very YouTube friendly, And I'm just really happy to give the guys like a good Dublin experience. And so this is the main room. Again, I've also— that Dublin hospitality. I've kitted out the fridge, right? It has to be done. So we got all the NutriQuik here. We got the White Monster. We got this new Black Irish Monster that's meant to be all the rage. Again, just some more protein shakes. And I want to thank Body First Nutrition for supplying all this. And of course, NutriQuik for the meals. Again, I'm just so lucky to have just amazing support in Dublin to put on these events and just to make it the best weekend possible. And so I'll give you a look at one of the bedrooms just to give you an idea of what it's like. So really white, really modern, and really clean, which is probably the most important part. And then the bathrooms Really marble and some good selfie mirrors here. Take a look at the shower. Really nice walk-in shower. So I love this, right? We have another bedroom here and if you just come out here, we have an amazing view of Dublin City. Location, if you know Dublin, this is right in the city centre. So again, just want to give a huge thank you to 5 Star Stays for making this all happen. Absolutely beautiful. And if you want to check it out, link down below. Yo, so, uh, crazy day, obviously mixed emotions, heart attacks on the regular. But, uh, one thing that always kind of sets me straight, uh, and kind of lets me disconnect is a good old lift. So we just ate in Zambrero there, we got some burritos. You know I'm, you know, increasing the calories, getting a little bit of a bulk on when I get nachos and the burritos with the wrap, not in a bowl. But so we did that and now The crew is going to get lifting. We have Nabil, we have Maran, and we got— look who's behind the camera, right? Check this. We got— look how much gains he's made. It's actually like, when is the fitness channel coming? Like, that is insane, bro. Newest Alphalete athlete and everything. Crazy. But yeah, so we're going to get some upper body done. Um, I'm actually wearing the new Alphalete line. Check the camo joggers as well that, uh, me and Maran got going on. Yes, you can't see this, this is invisible. Uh, but yeah, so let's have a much needed session. Alright, so— yeah, we get a thumbnail. Okay, perfect. So basically, I'm gonna call this vlog "This Was a Disaster" because pretty much the worst thing that could have happened when you're organizing an event happened, is your speaker's flights get cancelled. We're like, how do we put that in a thumbnail? Then we just saw this smashed-up car and me and Ryan were like, may as well just take our tops off and say this is a disaster. It is Christian Guzman who missed his flight. It is the Goomer who missed his flight, so we have to honor him with it. Kind of a clickbait thumbnail, even though it is what happened in the video. So I don't know, enjoy, give it a thumbs up. All right, so made it home. Very mentally draining day. Mind is just all over the place. I didn't get any sleep last night, and let me tell you something, sleep is cool. So I'm very hungry as well. That's another thing, and that is if you are struggling with your fat loss goals or your appetite, being low on sleep actually increases our cravings. So I'm feeling that a little bit today. So I'm gonna do— I think I'm gonna have some peri-peri chicken with mashed potato and roast veg, and I'm also gonna have a smoothie with that as well, just get some vitamins in. Also just received this from Innocent, and It's really cool when, you know, brands, they watch your content and they actually send you little notes like this. So they said, you know, we can't wait for your second event. This is a small few drinks before the rest arrive. Being entrepreneurial is one of our core values here, so we love what you're doing. That is just really cool and a nice little kind of pick-me-up today. So I am going to eat and drink this now and try to switch off for a little bit and wind down and relax. Okay, people, so good. News, right? I've literally been sitting here eating multiple pints of Halo Top, just tracking flights. So that is Max's flight, and then this is Christian and Shawley's flight. I feel like I'm in the FBI here or something. But, uh, for a second there, I thought I was literally gonna have to cancel the event, and it all worked out. And just gonna show you, like, it ain't over till it's over. Like, Max made his flight within 2 minutes. So the event was, you know, 2 minutes from being completely called off, which would have been a massive mess. Like, all the stands, all the sponsors that are setting up there tomorrow, the whole venue, you know, flying. You imagine if Max didn't make it but Christian Shawley did and the other speakers came, you know, oh my God, like, you know, do you cancel it? Does the show must go on? Like that would have been such a mess. Like, so I, I, I don't really suffer from anxiety too much, but today definitely a little bit. But sometimes in stressful situations, like, long time. So, uh, yeah, well-earned sleep, and this is just gonna make the weekend even better. Smash it!
