What's good, y'all? It's your boy Samir Gardner. Hope y'all doing good. So I'm about to mukbang. Basically, it's my first time doing it. I never thought that mukbang was something cool. You know, I seen like one person doing it and I never thought it was something cool. I'm not into ASMR or anything, but you know, I'ma just eat what I gotta eat and talk basically. So first of all, let me show you my food. It's, it's a smoothie bowl, just like this basically. Uh, it's basically a smoothie but you add things on top of it. So, so yeah, wait, look at the butter, bro. When it comes to YouTube, bro, you know why I love YouTube? Because You can do anything on YouTube. That's, that's the thing. Like, you can— let's say you're a basketball player, you can do anything you want on YouTube. Like, you can literally post videos of, of you playing basketball and you'll get like— you know, it's, it's cool to like— it's cool to make videos. Like, it's cool to basically edit videos and then You know, it's like, it's like an art. Like, it's like, it's basically you, uh, crafting something and then you show it to the world. And it's like the easiest way to show your craft to the world. So that's why I love YouTube. I think YouTube is a great place to start anything, basically, especially business, especially if you, um, you don't want to work or something. Like me, bro, I don't— I hate working, bro. I, I remember, I remember, um, this summer I was basically, um, working at this job and bro, I hated working, bro. I hated it. Like, I only worked for one weekend and I said no, I'm not going anymore. And they wanted me to work like more hours than I wanted to, so I was like, bro, I'm out. Because the thing with working is like I, I was thinking the whole time, bro, I'm— I could have been working on my business instead of doing this. Like, I could have been basically building something for my future instead of working at a job. And I'm not saying a job is, uh, something bad, but I'm just like, bro, I, I'd rather do something that can really benefit me, benefit my future. But at the same time, my job got me money, and that money Basically, I only worked one week, but that money is gonna help me to start my clothing brand because my clothing brand is in the work. I mean, I had a clothing brand, but I had to basically drop it because, you know, I was, I was just like basically, um, I, I didn't know what to do, so I had to restart all over with more knowledge. Now I got way more knowledge, so I know about marketing, I know about everything, so I can't wait. You know, this tastes so good. I might need to drop a video on this basically because smoothie bowl, it's like, it's like, um, it's like basically a smoothie. You put bananas, blueberries, dates. I think I had an avocado. And then you put basically on top of it, I had it on raisins, you know, the dried, um, dried grapes basically, um, pumpkin seeds, um, coconut, and what's the, uh, sunflower butter. Oh yeah, in this video is— I'm not gonna lie, this video is very, very inspired by Jordan Bean, because I remember, uh, like a couple days ago, like 2 days ago, I watched his video, like, um, why I started a YouTube channel and did a mukbang. Kind of got influenced by that, but because, like, I wanted to be a YouTuber too, you know. And I'm gonna tell you, in this, in this video, he told people, like, why, why he started YouTube. So I'm going to do the same thing. So basically why I started YouTube is, first of all, I want to help people. That's like one of the most fulfilling things I think you can do on earth. But going way back, bro, like, um, I remember, um, I was probably like 10 or less than 10. And I was watching, uh, you know, these big YouTubers, uh, Jelly, Quelbo Cups, Lookaman. These are all, um, YouTubers with like more than 10 million subs, and they're basically gaming YouTubers. And I used to play hard, like, video games, bro. I used to play like 10 hours a day, if that's not— if maybe more, bro. But I was so good at video games, I'm not gonna lie. Man, you know, I had to drop video games because I was just— it's too addictive for me. Maybe for not other people, but for me. But, uh, when I started YouTube, like, bro, I used to watch, um, Jelly, Kwelbo, and they were playing like GTA 5 games and Minecraft. Nah, just GTA 5 in general. And like, I was like, bro, one day I'm gonna have millions of subs. And I believed it. Like, bro, I'm still to this day, like, I don't care much about the numbers, but like, bro, I know I'm gonna achieve millions of subs if that's what I want to do. If that's what I'm gonna focus on, I'm gonna achieve it. These people, Jelly, Quelbecops, Longamin, like, I used to watch him every day. I mean, I used to watch like every gaming YouTuber basically. Because I like this video. Like, it might sound like I'm saying the same things as Jordan Green, shout out to him, but I swear it's my story. Like, his story and my story for starting YouTube is basically like not the same, but it's, but it's very, very similar. So basically, you know, I watch these people on YouTube and I wanted to be a YouTuber. So then probably like 2 years ago, I was still playing video games, and 2 to 1 years ago, and you know, I was playing games like Rainbow Six Siege and GTA 5 and Fortnite and everything. And so what happened is I started making YouTube videos, you know, making like a montage, like, you know, the The things where you show your best clips and everything and just make a montage with it and just edit and everything and put the music on top of it. Like, and I enjoyed it, like I swear. It's like you build something and then you show it to the world, basically. That like, like what I said in the beginning. And so I probably spent like hours and hours just editing those vids because I didn't know how to, but I enjoyed it. It's like you show your skills, you show your edits, you show everything. So now, you know, I like probably watch my own gaming videos like at least 10 times each. Like, I was proud of making those videos, but after like video games, like, boy, I used to play too much, so Bro, I just had to stop because I was like, I mean, I could have kept on playing, but it's like, you know, you play 1 hour a day, it gets to 2 hours, then gets to 4 hours. So like, bro, I had to stop. Just, I might replay one day. Once I get big, if I want to get big, I might stream. I might buy me a setup and stream some video games, but not too much. But I might stream like GTA 5 or Minecraft or anything because that's like my childhood was just video games. That's kind of sad, but at the same time, but it is what it is. Now I'm more into like things like just taking care of yourself basically, like especially health. Health for me is very, very important. And you know, I'm trying to get more knowledge on it. What I do is I try to gain knowledge and maybe If somebody needs knowledge in order to heal, then I can give it to them. You know, I'm not a doctor or anything, or herbalist, but if I can just give some knowledge and heal someone, I mean, it might not be my— the reason— I might not be the reason why somebody heals, but at least I help them heal, you know. And you know, I have bigger plans, like maybe I open like herb shop one day. I also thought about, um, basically, um, having my own books. Like, I want to be an author. I want to write, uh, books about, um, I mean, I want to write a book. I don't know what is it going to be about, but I want to write a book. At the same time, I want to write a book about, um No, cooking. Basically, I want to do a cookbook. Like, my plan is like a cookbook with like simple ingredients, natural ingredients. Like, and I'm gonna try cheap ingredients because I know that the healthier ingredients sometimes cost more. But you know, you know, there's things like quinoa and everything. Like, I can make recipes chickpeas. Like, bro. Oh yeah, and for my future, future, future goals, like, probably my biggest dream is like make videos like MrBeast, basically. I mean, I might not be able to start with like $1 million, but if I can start like he did— he started slow. Gave like, I think he gave like $1K or $10K to a homeless person, and then he started building, building, building. Like, I watched, I watched, I went to his channel and I watched like not all his videos, but I checked every video like from the time he started to where he's at right now, and I, I see like I can do it too. Like, it took him years, but like, this dude, like, I don't know, he's just an example of, you know, making it. And he has posted like so many videos before blowing up, so that just shows like consistency is key. You know, if I can make videos like this, if I can collab with, you know, other YouTubers like Jordan Green, iSchoolYT, or anything, I would be proud of myself. You know, YouTube is— you can do anything on YouTube. That's the thing. You can do anything. Like I said in the beginning, if you're a sport player, if you love doing basketball, you can make— no, it's not even about the money, but it's like, because YouTube is something you can— I'll do like even if money didn't exist. Like, that's why it's so fun. You can do anything. You can build a community. That's one of the, the things that— one of the best benefits is you get like a community of people you can talk to and everything you get to know. And so, you know, like when you build that following, like you get so many opportunities too. But you know, in the beginning, at the beginning you won't get this, but As time moves on, like, I mean, it's gonna happen and everything. So I think YouTube is like one of the things like, yeah, y'all, yeah, y'all got to do. Because at first, bro, I was so stressed about starting a YouTube channel. Not, not the gaming YouTube channel, but the, the, this YouTube channel. I remember making my first vid. It's not, it's not on YouTube anymore because The quality was so bad. Like, what quality was horrible? Like, so basically, um, if you want to start YouTube, like, but I used to be so stressed. Like, like, bro, I was, you know, when I was started, I was so stressed. But as I started recording more, like, I was like, well, I'm gonna get out of my comfort zone. I'm gonna do it. So As you start recording more and more and more, you just get comfortable. Like right now, I'm more comfortable than I was at the last video. It's just how it works. If you're young watching this, it's the best. Like, if you can start now and just to see if you like it, like, you don't, you don't have to do YouTube just because everyone's doing it. But if you're young watching this, I would recommend you starting like a YouTube channel or something. Or just try it. Just try it. It makes your speaking better. It makes you more comfortable in uncomfortable situations. Because basically I'm talking to myself right now. You know, me talking to myself is probably going to improve my social skills. Makes me in a better relationship with myself. So YouTube, bro. YouTube is underrated. Well, I'm eating so slow. I'm not even halfway done. It's been 16 minutes. Well, I'm probably gonna cut this off, but no, I, I watch people like Jordan Green, Nico, iSchoolGT, um, who else? Shout out to Once Again. Once Again got me started on everything. Like, Once Again got me started on everything. Like, I used to be down bad, and this guy basically, basically changed my life. Like, bro, if I get to know him like in real life, bro, I'll thank him like so much because he got me to this, the, the self-improvement thing. And bro, ever since that, like, I started watching more self-improvement YouTubers because I started being on this self-improvement journey and But this guy's underrated. Like, this guy changed so many people's life. And like, bro, his advices, just the way he talks. And I know he talks to— he wants to change the young people and the people from his environment. But well, this guy, this guy changed so many people's life. So shout out to him. Well, if one day, bro, I can be just recording I mean, I, I gotta stop saying if one day, like, bro, I'm gonna do it if I want to do it, you know. But, you know, I'm building slowly towards it. But one day, if I want to, I'll be like recording videos like MrBeast. And bro, this, these types of videos, like, bro, like, everyone dreams of doing this, like everyone. But bro, I I want to do it. And if I keep on wanting to do it, like, bro, I'm gonna do it. And you know, this video, I gotta watch it like in 5 years. 5 years from now, I'll watch it and I'll see like the progress and everything I said that I did. Because you know, I want to be a YouTuber. I know that if I want to get something You know, and I work towards it and I give my energy towards it, I'm gonna achieve it. Simple as that. You know, I'm also trying to make my clothing brand big. Right now I'm still like in the foundation of the clothing brand, so it's not gonna drop too soon, but it's gonna drop. I don't know when. Couple of months, I guess. But bro, I build a foundation. It's gonna be like, it's gonna be way better than my first drop, than my first brand. The website and everything, I'm gonna make like a professional website. I can't wait. But you know, I also, like I said, I want, I want to collab with other people. If, if y'all want to collab with me, we can make a podcast, we can make anything. Just DM me or comment. I'm gonna cut off this video because look, this video is gonna end like in 15 minutes if I keep on eating like this. So I might go eat. So see y'all like in the next vid. So comment, share, subscribe, and like. I'm out, peace.
