A short YouTube monologue by Mark Evans DM urging intentional relationship maintenance through small, frequent gestures he calls 'deposits' — sending quick videos, texts, emails, or visiting when someone comes to mind. The speaker gives examples (sending three videos on a walk to friends/contacts) and frames the behavior as sincere, not manipulative, aimed at building 'relationship capital.'
In my relationships, I'm all about deposits. I'm giving relationship deposits. If I see something, I think about someone. I shoot a message. Today on my walk, I did three videos. I did my boy Terry, my boy Mike, and my M and a guy, Ted, my attorney. I just was thinking about them. They popped in my brain. I'm walking, I'm drenched, I'm here in Florida, it's hot. I look absolutely silly. But I grabbed the video and say, what's up? Thinking about you, buddy. Proud of you. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Exactly what was on my mind and my heart. I shot a quick video, 30 seconds, boom. And planning to see deposit. I'm not doing this in a manipulative way, in any way, shape or form. It's just if someone pops in my mind, I'm shooting them a video. I'm shooting them a text, I'm shooting them an email. I'm going to go to their house or something. Something's going to happen. There's a reason it was implanted in your brain. It's not just because. Just pops in my brain, shoot a video. Hey, man, thinking about you, appreciate everything you do for me, et cetera, connect with people, relationship capital.
