Ryan's Healing Journey From Chronic Pelvis Pain Syndrome and Entrepreneurial Growth
Imagine conquering a health challenge that's stumped both you and the medical community, only to find the answer lies in an unexpected diet of juicy watermelons. Ryan's back on our show to share his incredible journey through prostatitis and the mono fruit fast that led him to a full recovery. His tale isn't just one of health triumphs; it's also a springboard into new business adventures, proving how personal obstacles can ignite an entrepreneurial fire.
This episode tackles more than Ryan's personal anecdotes; it's a treasure trove of wisdom on holistic health and the potential of fasting to fight diseases like cancer. Listen as we challenge the conventional pharmaceutical approach and celebrate the merits of self-research and natural healing. From embracing a fruitarian lifestyle to tackling chronic pain, we uncover the mental resilience needed to steer through physical and emotional turmoil, with journaling and a steadfast mindset as our compass.
We're also peeling back the curtain on Ryan's creation: a guide brimming with insights for those wrestling with chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS). In our heart-to-heart, we expose the trials of managing this condition and the power of community support. For the content creators and coaches tuning in, Ryan decodes the secrets to scaling a business and mastering social media, all while staying authentic to your brand. This isn't just a podcast episode, it's a roadmap to well-being, overcoming adversity, and entrepreneurial success.
what is going on? Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to my channel and welcome back to another episode and another podcast episode. Today I'm having another homie back. You used to know him as aces official last time he came in and talked about his prostatitis issues, but today we'll welcome him. Welcome him in as ryan ryan. Welcome back to my channel, brother. How you doing, man?
Speaker 2:I'm good, thank you. How are you?
Speaker 1:I'm doing good man. So today, guys, listen, we're gonna have an update on uh ryan's issues when it comes to his prostitutes and what he had he has gone through, uh, because, if I am remembering correctly, well, well, we're gonna get into. I was gonna ask you a question. We're gonna get into it. But, guys, for everyone who has been listening, uh, whoever's been watching, don't forget that you can subscribe to the youtube channel, always watch these videos on 4k, but today is gonna be in 1080p. I usually say that, but you're across the globe, so, uh, that's gonna be the case, but you can use it.
Speaker 1:Listen to this podcast on Spotify, apple Music and Amazon Music. So, guys, today we have a couple of topics we're going to discuss. Right, we're going to get into this prostatitis update with Ryan, and also, he has some news he wants to share on some business he's working on. But stay around, stick around, so you can listen to it. So, hey, man, ryan, what's going on? Brother, I'm good, thank you. How are you, bro? I'm doing good man, doing good. I'm excited to have you back because, it's been a while.
Speaker 1:We've been planning this for some time now, but I want people to get an update from your issues and what you believe was your prostate issues. Tell people about that. After we left off with the issues that, by the way, the people really reciprocated. Back on my youtube channel, a lot of men connected with you, uh, what you were suffering from. So tell us what happened after that. Uh, how are you doing now with your issues?
Speaker 2:uh, and then give us an update so, yeah, like, I just want to shout out first of all to everyone that did, you know, tune in to the uh, to the other episode, and obviously, to everyone that actually reached out to me personally, because I actually had some people that messaged me on instagram, um, as well, you know, looking to connect and just to ask for some help. So, you know, shout out to all of you as well. Some of them would actually message me like all the time, but I guess, I guess, I guess that their symptoms have, you know, like, resided, since you know they don't message me so much anymore, or maybe they just wanted to give me a little break. But, um, I'll just like to say that, um, I remember, when it came to me, remember, I was actually reaching out to you a lot, you know, and at times, you know, I was actually feeling, you know, like the lowest, at the lowest point I've ever been in my life. To be honest with you, um, but what's really helped me?
Speaker 2:Uh, because, obviously, the last time that I came on a podcast, I said that I was, uh, at least like 99% healed. Um, at that time, um, but it just felt like I was stuck at 99%, you know, like absolute most. I would have been like 99.9, but there was still like the tiniest feeling of discomfort. But I've literally been 100% healed for like how many months now. You know, I mean like since since last year, you know, um, like not the beginning, but like middle of last year, and what's really helped me is fasting right.
Speaker 2:So I went on reddit communities and you know like, when you're looking for success stories, there's not a lot of success stories on there, but a success story that I saw is around fasting right. So there's different types of fasting. But when I basically done some more research into it, I heard about a fruit fast right, but it's a mono fruit fast, so that's when you only choose one fruit and then you eat that for X amount of weeks or X amount of days. So I basically done like a 28 day fast on watermelon only just a watermelon fast, right for 20 what's the purpose of that?
Speaker 1:why is it just one fruit?
Speaker 2:it's out, because when you there's a reason, I can't quite remember the the reason but, um, it's just better to eat one fruit and to stick to one fruit. I can't quite remember it, so I don't want to go off and try and explain it when I can't remember it. But if you guys, if you guys watch yaki awakened y-a-h-k-i, I think, um, awakened, hopefully I spot it right, I think I spot it wrong, but anyway it's y-a-k-h-i, I think, awakened watch him and type in a watermelon fast and he'll be able to explain all of the benefits better than me. But it basically helps you to, you know, regenerate your body and to regenerate your souls. Like all of your old souls, it regenerates them.
Speaker 1:Plus, watermelon is a fruit that has a lot of water. Literally, watermelon has a lot of, but it also has so much minerals.
Speaker 2:Apparently, it has so much minerals that Well, this is what Yarki Awaken said anyway. He said that scientists can't tell you all of the minerals that there is because there's so much minerals in it that they can't tell you all of the minerals that there is because there's so much minerals in it that they can't tell you all of the minerals because it's literally like millions.
Speaker 2:But anyway, yeah, yeah, do your research on it. But, uh, what do you call it? Uh, grapes as well. Bro, I've done a great fast. I've done a 28 day great fast and that has actually um, that's actually been um known to cure, uh, like fourth stage cancer as well. Like there's a book called a great manifesto, right, and it's where people go on a great fast and they eat grapes for like 28 days and then they're good, they like they no longer have cancer and like they could literally be on fourth stage as well. So that's why I'm like look, let me give this fast a go.
Speaker 2:Like the absolute, like grand master of them all is like the water fast, right, but you know, when it comes to water fasting, like a lot yeah, a lot of people find it tough, and if you get hungry from time to time you can't physically like eat anything, but with the watermelon you can eat, like you know, as much of it as you kind of want. So within a day I'll have like a whole watermelon, but just that's basically. And then I get my watch and I'm still kind of eating something. And then, when it came to the grape fast, I done a 28 day grape fast, separate to that like two months down the line, and that was literally just grapes. Like for 28 days it was black grapes. So a lot of places you go to you're going to find them. Uh, seedless it doesn't really matter. It's obviously better to get seeds. But just because they're seedless it doesn't mean that they're gmo. It just means that they're hybrid grown. So like they're not GMO, they're just hybrid grown. But that would also help Go ahead.
Speaker 1:So this is that's interesting, because fasting I even heard, like I've read on a lot of posts that fasting actually helps kill like cancer cells and stuff like that, because in general, because like you're not feeding the cancer cells, so eventually that. So I heard that fasting can be really good for a like a certain amount of time, like it's actually healthy for your body.
Speaker 2:Obviously there's different type of fastings that you can do, but the more natural stuff you put into your body, I feel like the more that you'll wash away and you'll clean your system out, uh, from any other like toxins and stuff like that yeah things that feed the cancer cells and stuff yeah, like the body, you know, like the body can heal itself, and obviously, like modern day medicine and stuff like that, like they're not gonna push uh, you know um would you call it holistic approaches on you because they're trying to sell medication, right? So they're not gonna push, you know, uh billion dollar industry, man it's probably like a trillion dollar industry.
Speaker 2:But, yeah, like, they're not gonna like, they're not gonna tell you, um, you know, like about the natural ways. So you kind of got to do your research yourself, and a lot of people might look at you like you're crazy when you say, oh, I'm gonna do like a month, for some people have done like 90 days watermelon fasts, right. So if you're like I'm gonna do like, uh, so I'm like 28 days, nothing Like. There's literally like people do a 90 day watermelon fast, like older people too, like 50, 60 plus, right.
Speaker 2:And there's a guy from the UK he lives in New York now, I can't remember his name, but I wish I did, so I could have shouted him out on this. But he has like loads of different videos on YouTube where he's like a fruitarian, so he only eats fruits, right. And he's been doing that for so many years and he's never got sick since he's only ate fruit. He's never, ever been sick one day since then. Reminds me of the daniel, yeah, and he's super, super healthy, like, super healthy. You'll think he's younger than he is. I think he's like 60. You'll think he's like 40 at least, right. So, yeah, bro, like I'm like why not try fasting? Because I think at the end of the day it was a lot of inflammation in the body. I tried many different things. I've done so much research, like months and months and end. I remember like I was literally in my room at one point, like you know, like just super depressed dealing with this, like to the point I remember when you called me man.
Speaker 1:I remember when you kind of want to cut you off. I'm sorry, but I remember when you called me bro, yeah, and, and you were telling people that are right now like when you called me we had like a conversation, right, bro.
Speaker 1:We had like an hour conversation, right up here, bro, we had like an hour conversation, an hour some change conversation. We talked about that. But can you remind the people, like what were your symptoms? That you feel like you were suffering from that, had you depressed, like what, what was it? So you can remind them?
Speaker 2:uh, so they can remember, like what was going on through through through your mind, through your body, physically and mentally it's just the pain, bro, like you know, like just dealing with that pain, especially as a man, you know, like you know, we're not where'd you feel the pain?
Speaker 2:where did I feel the pain, bro? Like in the beginning, I felt the pain in the uh scrotum, which is, you know, like the testes. I felt the pain, um, that you know like, uh, in the back passage. I felt the pain, yeah, between the scrotum and the back passage. I felt the pain, yeah, between the scrotum and the back passage. I felt the pain in the penile tip. I felt that a lot in the penile tip. Man, I was like you know damn, like you know, is this the end of you know?
Speaker 1:is? Is this? Is this the end of your?
Speaker 2:familyhood. You know the end of the of the king kong anaconda. You know like I'm like hey no, dinny no, no, but I was like yeah, bro, like this is, this is not good, so, um, that made me really depressed, you know, uh, you know, especially for a man. Especially for a man that's, you know, been pretty active, you know, and I don't mean like physically active, but, you know, active in other areas of life.
Speaker 2:Yeah, sexually active. You know it was quite it was it was it was. It was quite a hard thing to come to terms with because I felt like I was just stuck in it because it went on for so long. I'm like, ok, this is my life. The more stories that I read in the forums I'm hearing people struggling for 10, 20, 30, 40 years. I'm like, if these people have been struggling for that long and it seemed like it was like 90 of them in there I'm like I have no hope. It's just something I'm gonna have to just deal with and manage. Um, I started journaling as well. Guys, journaling helped me so so much. A lot of it is to do with mind over matter as well, so like that's what I've read up on as well. There's a book called this. The greatest self-help book is written by you guys.
Speaker 2:Get this like that really helped me that I went through, bro, as soon as I started journaling I started to feel better because it allowed me to calm down and actually allowed me to, you know, kind of connect with myself a little bit more and even on like a spiritual level right, like that's like your root chakra. That area is your root chakra. So I felt like I needed to fix you know my energy to then help heal you know, that area in area in my body, right. So the way that I done that is through journaling, is through fasting and it's just basically through like I guess, like you know, self-development but kind of like um on an extreme level. But that's really what helped me.
Speaker 2:So quick question because the doctors did try to throw sorry to cut you, but the doctors did try to throw the Cipro and all these other drugs down my throat. But when I've actually read that people have been, you know, floxed by these medicines, I'm like I'm not touching them. You know what I mean. These medicines are like they got black box warnings on them. I'm not touching any medicine like that. It must be wild. That's not even medicine to me. That's straight poison.
Speaker 1:So I just, yeah, cured myself. Anyway, right, I'm stretching, guys stretching, go ahead stretching.
Speaker 2:Uh, you're doing the. What is that called?
Speaker 1:the um, yeah, like, just like.
Speaker 2:Okay, there's some people say, like kego exercises, but I just do like. I just do like I heard though yeah as well.
Speaker 1:So pelvic, pelvic floor exercise stretches, and I talk see I talked to my community about that. Like uh, pelvic floor stretching dieting. I one of my friends that have been suffering. Actually, before I even found out I had uh I was suffering from prostatitis. I found out that he, uh, was suffering from uh prostatitis, but his is very correlated with the food he eats which is very interesting.
Speaker 2:So the fact that you're mentioning.
Speaker 1:You know, cleansing yourself and dieting is very important because there are some people not all, we all, I feel like prostatitis issues. They come in different manners and different ways. Some of them are non-bacterial, some of them are bacterial, but in this case my friend he was affected by the things he ate spicy food. If he ate fatty foods or greasy foods, it would affect this prostate, right, and the way it would feel. So I was like man. That's kind of wild because I'd never put that two and two together.
Speaker 1:Now there isn't a lot of research that correlates the two together, but there's a lot of people that have talked and opened up about the importance of like what you eat can affect your prostate. So hopefully in the future we can get more research when it comes to that. But I was going to ask you so do you believe a lot of the depression was because of like your manly parts? Because as a man, you know your penis, your scrotum, kind of obviously in a scientific manner. It determines you as a man, right? That's how you are male or female, right? So what are you? Was that one of the reasons why you felt depressed? I want you to open up a little bit more, because a lot of people that have gone through this man and a lot of men suffering a lot.
Speaker 1:And and that depression is real, bro, like in my case when I was suffering from prostatitis. I was, I think, for like six months, like I wasn't able to ejaculate. I wasn able to do anything. Yeah, I was going because I would have so many symptoms, and it was so bad. Yeah, it was just pain, man, painful you know. So, yeah, so what was that like? Um, you feel like that that was where the depression was coming from.
Speaker 2:From funny like funny, like funny enough, like funny enough. Like what's really interesting is I think that I was kind of like dealing with it before, like already kind of thing. Like you know, when it comes to you know, like just uh, I don't really like to use the word depression too much, but, like you know, like just dealing with like you were in a certain mind space.
Speaker 2:That was not I was yeah, yeah, or just dealing with my mental health. You know, I mean so. For me it's like, yeah, you know, and you know that that, you know that led me to kind of yeah, you know, like, have the encounter that I had and then that kind of brought on all of the symptoms. So I feel like, you know, it was just a lot of things going on. You know, like, at that time, um, but, as I said, journaling really, really helped me and um, no, I, I wouldn't say I would say yes, like, since, like, when the problems came, like 100 like that made everything a lot worse because, as I said, it's not a feeling that I've ever experienced before and there's no studies on it. It's like, whoa, there is studies, but there's not a lot of studies, as you said.
Speaker 2:So it's not like you can go to the doctors, yeah, and then the doctors can be like you have this and the way that you treat it is by doing this. There was none of that. So it was like I had to find everything myself. I had to watch countless youtube interviews. I've had to reach out to, you know like, reach out to like specialists and stuff like that, just to try and figure out what's going on in even a lot of the specialists, like they try to charge a lot of money, like just for a console, and I'm like you know, like there must be another way. So so I just started researching, like you know how, to you know cure certain things and I'm like if people can cure cancers through fasts and everything else, and if the guy in the community that said that he cured his CPPS through it, then I could too. Right, and CPPS is chronic pelvic pain syndrome.
Speaker 2:That's also basically what this is, because only 5% of cases are actually bacterial and this is something that, from everything, 5% of cases are actually bacterial, and this is something that from everything People tell me, that people tell me that I'm lucky all the time, bro, from listen, like from everything that I researched, like I swear, like I could start like my own community or focus group, like today, and just from the top of my head, I'll be able to fucking tell you everything that you need to know about. You know CPPS, about bacterial prostatitis, everything that's about bacterial prostatitis, everything. That's how much research that I've done. This, like when I say I've done months on end on this, I've done months on end, like every single day, treating this like a nine to five, bro. I wake up early in the morning I won't finish and come off the computer till like five, six pm just to try and figure out what's going on and how to help myself, how to cure myself, right. So, anyway, and then like basically what I done is I made a powerpoint presentation, right? So I still use PowerPoint presentation. I know there's other tools out there, but I use PowerPoint and I basically made a presentation of like a guide, so I called it like a full CPPS guide, right? So I came up with food and herbs that I can have that will help me.
Speaker 2:I came up with all of the tests that you could take that could like rule things out. So I put completed and non-completed, because I've done quite a few different kind of tests. I didn't do any like uh, what's it called? A sister p or however you say it, where you put that thing like down your uh area. I didn't, I didn't, I didn't opt for that because that actually causes strictures for a lot of people as well.
Speaker 2:When strictures is another problem because if you have too much strictures in the penile area now you've got to have surgery, and strictual surgery again has a very, very high failure rate, literally like I think it's something as crazy as like 90 or 89 of people would fail within the first operation. So then you've got a kill for how many weeks or months? And then you've got to go back again to have them cut you again to try and remove the uh sorry, to try and fix the stricture, and then they might even have to take the skin from other parts of your area, like you know, like your leg, other parts of your body, to put there to actually build back up your tissue. And yeah, some people they don't ever get an erection again after that and all kind of crazy stuff. So I'm like I'm definitely it's a lot of yeah.
Speaker 1:I heard even myself when I did my research because the doctor recommended it. Uh, even then I was like I'm a team player, but not. But not right now. Right now I need to, you know. Yeah, it's not worth it.
Speaker 2:And then obviously, obviously I put down causes as well and in treatment, right. So I didn't have chronic bacterial prostatitis, right, I had CPPS. So, uh, sorry, I didn't, I didn't, I, yeah, I didn't, I didn't have chronic bacterial prostatitis, I just had CPPS, which is chronic pelvic pain syndrome, which is just prostatitis. Right, it's not the bacterial one, it's the one that most people have. So then obviously, yeah, so then obviously I. Another one as well that people don't know is a uroplasma could also cause it.
Speaker 2:And uroplasma is not uh tested for a lot of the time in um, you know, sexual health uh tests and um, in uh doctors and hospitals tests and in doctors and hospitals. So you've got to get a private test to test uroplasma. Luckily enough I didn't have to, because by the time I was thinking of going down that route I was getting better anyway. But uroplasma is like very, very, very small pieces of bacteria that most people have in them anyway, especially if you're a male. You actually start developing uroplasma from like the age of 10 to 11, you know, when you start hitting pre-BE.
Speaker 2:But if you get too much uroplasma, too much buildup of uroplasma, it can actually cause you symptoms as well. Right, and you got to have a special PCR test, yeah so a sensitive test to actually test your urine to see if you've got uroplasma. And apparently those tests aren't even 100% accurate anyway, right, but a lot of the time people might have a buildup of uroplasma, right. So I put uroplasma down as like a possible cause. I put muscle tension down, nerve damage and then stricture. So I know it's not a stricture, of course, when it comes, and even with stricture sometimes you don't know. But the way that you can check is if you look at your area and if you get erect. If it bends too much and stuff like that's not good, you may.
Speaker 2:uh, I guess like a little bit is all right, but if it bends like too much and stuff, you might yeah, yeah, yeah um, and then, obviously, like you know, like the doctor uh checked out as well and you know, felt around, was like yeah, nah, like it doesn't seem like you got a stricture, uh, pause, but um, and then obviously, yeah, like you know, it bends like beckham.
Speaker 1:Bro, if it bends like beckham, you gotta slow it down hey, look out today for beckham.
Speaker 2:But obviously I put I, I, I, um, I crossed out euro plasma, I crossed out stricture, and then I just put it down to either muscle tension or nerve damage, right. So I'm like, okay, if it's not nerve damage, there's not really much that I could do. If it's muscle tension, all I gotta do is like pelvic floor stretches and yoga. So basically the treatment plan was pelvic floor stretches, yoga, sits, baths, which is what I also done. So that's when you have sea salt added to your bath and also epsom salt, right, it relaxes the muscles. I done journaling. Uh, I'm gonna lie if I say I've done meditation. I've got it here, but I've never really done full meditation. But I've definitely done journaling, I've definitely done yoga and I've definitely done pelvic stretches. I changed my diet, as I mentioned. Um, I didn't go super, super clean, but I done fast and stuff like that.
Speaker 2:Acupuncture is also something else that can help, and dry needling I didn't do any of them. Lucky enough, I didn't need it by the time I got better. Getting eight hours of sleep helps as well. Then there's something else called tens therapy, so that's like where they send. Like you know, you can get a device that sends small electric shocks to your body and that takes the focus of pain away from that area. Then you could have a sauna as well. That's good. Massages are good. Drinking four liters of water a day as well is good. You could also do biofeedback, so that's where they, like you know, uh basically test different uh muscles um down there to see basically like where the issue's coming from. Uh, breathing exercise can help. Uh, actual prostate massage can help as well, which I actually didn't do. So, um, yeah, what helped me is the pelvic floor stretching, the yoga, the sits bath, the journaling, uh, the diet, um, and, yeah, getting a little bit more sleep and, obviously, drinking more water. That's basically what helped me.
Speaker 1:So, before we continue, I do want to say to the people listening or watching and, yeah, first of all, we are not medical experts, right, we are just sharing our experience with you guys. I know a lot of you guys can be I wouldn't say a lot of you guys, but some people that are sensitive to these topics because you know it's medical terms and medical things. Well, what we're doing here is sharing our experience, and the reason I brought Ryan back on is so he can share his experience on what helped him. Again, remember, every case is different, so you got to talk to your doctor, or maybe try to do what he did, which is a lot of research, which is how maybe you guys found me on YouTube, how Ryan found me, how I found other content creators, other people to try to help me, right? So just remember that, throwing that disclaimer out there, so you guys, or a lot of people out there, don don't be like yo, this, this is this works, this is the heel. No, no, no, no. We are just trying to help you guys with our stories and our experiences, but so what you're saying, though, ryan, going back to to your discussion, is changing your lifestyle, right, which which I've always reached on my channel.
Speaker 1:Make sure you change your lifestyle, the way you eat, have some discipline. Right, because you wanted answers. You wanted to see what could help you. So you went through a trial of 30 days and fasting. See if that helped you, right? I think a lot of people who suffer from a lot of issues even when it comes to prostatitis in general, or even in health issues you have to have trials and periods of times where you're like what else could help me, what can I do? And I think a lot of the times, what helps people is the change in lifestyle, the change in diets, sleeping better, being less stressful. You know why stress and mental health is so important? Because when I was suffering suffering before I was suffering from bacterial prostatitis I remember when I used to be very stressed, you kind of tighten your muscles up and you can feel like you tighten your muscles up in your scrotum section or you clench your cheeks, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1:That can be a cause of your issues too. So maybe stress can be a reason, as to why you're suffering from prostatitis, or CPPS as you know your name.
Speaker 2:So and bro, like even sometimes, you know, like, you know like now, as a, you know as in, like, you know like um, like a, like a month or not a month, but probably like two, like two or three months ago, like um, you know, I experienced, like you know, say, for example, like I wouldn't really say urine retention, because that's like when your urine can't really come out, but I just found it a lot harder to you know yes, yes, hesitancy yeah, like it would be hesitant to come out, kind of thing bro, super hesitant.
Speaker 2:I'm talking about I could be standing up for like five, ten minutes, bro, and it's like but I know that the mind is linked to it a lot, like there's actually a link, you know, to your mind and you know, and down and down there. So it's like, yeah, whenever I felt like a little bit uneasy or I had, like you know, too much stress going on in the mind, then, yeah, when it came to actually trying to pass urine, bro, it was very hard. And sometimes I'm like damn, because I'll do everything to try and take my mind out of the situation. So I'm thinking about me being on a beach somewhere. I'm doing everything to try and take my mind out of the situation. So I'm thinking about me being on a beach somewhere. I'm doing everything to try and like dissociate my mind with what's really going on. But it was hard. It was hard and it will take me a long time to just stand there and just really try and get my mind off of the situation. And sometimes, as I said, it will take five to 10 minutes just for me to pass a little bit of urine and all of it won't come out. Still, you know, it'll take me that long, just to pass a little bit, and I still don't feel like it's fully emptied. So I did also have that horrible.
Speaker 2:But, um, yeah, bro, it's a lot to do with the mind. That's why now I don't let nothing stress me out and, to be honest, I've been living stress free uh, stress free for a long time, for many years. But now, especially now, I'm not, I'm not going to put up with any kind of unnecessary stress, like any kind of unnecessary dramas, like from anyone or anything. Do you know? I mean, like, if it causes too much peace of mind, it's not worth the price, right? Yeah, so that's it. Um, and it generally affects my health. So I can't, I can't even afford to do that anymore. You know I can't. I respect that.
Speaker 1:I respect that so much. I respect that so much. I've always even I even talk about this in my podcast a lot of my YouTube channel. I just want to have a lot of peace when it comes to my life now, because I know that things around me can affect my health issues, especially now that.
Speaker 1:I'm more sensitive to a lot of different little things important when it comes to managing your health issues. Or it can make something small even bigger, right, like when you have all that stress or you're anxious. Anxiety can even, you know, squeeze your muscles a lot. All that tension, I mean it's so bad to the point where, like for example for me, even when I have interviews one time like a couple you know, I had an interview one time and I remember I was so tense, bro, but my body naturally was tensing up from anxiety, that eventually after the interview I felt physical pain from all the stress and all the tension that I was like building and creating on myself without me even realizing.
Speaker 1:I was just anxious. You know what I'm saying, so I appreciate you saying that. So all in all then, uh, what helped you was just so for people. Can you know, go out there, basically natural medicine, you know, holistic medicine, whatever you want to call it, natural ways, right try that yeah, natural, natural ways.
Speaker 1:So you're dieting, uh. You're sleeping, uh. You also mentioned, uh, you're drinking a lot of water, which is really really good to stay hydrated sleeping, which is're drinking a lot of water, which is really really good to stay hydrated sleeping, which is very important. A lot of the work that your body requires, your body does, when you're sleeping. If you guys have done your research, you guys, you know, would know that. What else are the other things? You said? Journaling, uh, so writing things down and keeping up with with what's going on in your life, or that would you. Would you say that's what, what helped you the most? Ryan?
Speaker 2:Definitely, definitely, definitely, definitely, like all of those things. Yeah, definitely helped me the most. And also having an abundant mindset. You know, so in my life I have an abundant mindset with everything you know. Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill that book really, really helped me to develop this mindset. So if you guys haven't read that, I definitely recommend you pick it up. But it's just like, rather than having a scarcity mindset and being like, okay, you know things are scarce and you know I might not, you know, get to where I want to get, to just have that abundant mindset and realize that there's abundance everywhere. Right, realize that there are success stories out there. Realize that there are success stories out there. Realize that there's probably more people that are success stories within this than people that are not success stories like within, whatever pain that they're dealing with. They're just not in the forums now because you know they're good they want to.
Speaker 2:I read that bro, they want to leave it behind them, whereas with me, you know, like, again, do I really like talking about this? Not, not too much, because subconsciously I feel like down there could be listening, you know, and down there could feel like I might, I might, I might want to, you know, I might want to tense up a little bit or something. So I try not to talk about it, other than you know, when it's to help people out. But what was I going to say? But, yeah, guys, always remember that is just like people that have healed themselves. They're not going to be spending time with the forums anymore. They just want to forget about it in their life. So you're only going to see people that are struggling in these, um, in these forums.
Speaker 2:So I would say, like, try and keep away from no, I wouldn't say that actually, because I learned a lot from the forums and it's the forums that have really helped and it's the forums that have information that you're not really going to find on google and stuff like that, because you're actually getting information from real people. But don't dwell on the forums and don't like spend so much time looking at the negative stories. Try and find as much success stories, as you can do you know what I mean and then like just study it, study it, study it, study it, even read, like studies online. I read different studies online and clinical trials online and everything like. Do everything that you can. Like watch many different youtube videos. Like just scour the internet, even hashtag you know cpps, for example, on you, sorry, on tiktok or instagram, or, yeah, tiktok or instagram. Like just do everything that you can to find people that are dealing with this and you know that are killed or that are healing people.
Speaker 1:Do all of that yeah, and be careful of charlatans at the same time.
Speaker 2:Like if people are trying to take money off you for stuff like that, like just be very aware, obviously you know, I know that there are people that do this full-time, so they obviously need to earn a living and an income, you know, which is obviously understandable. But but don't, but don't, like you know, spend money on, like weird pills and stuff like that, like you know these chinese pills apparently that can help you out, and like all this type of stuff. Man, like don't do that. Man. Like just fast your body, like that's one of the ancient ways, like that's like an ancient way that's been going on since the beginning of time that people have been healing themselves from is literally just refasting.
Speaker 1:So yeah, that's good man. I appreciate you sharing that. Bro, uh and I think you said a lot of important things. When it comes to that, I know it's not easy to open up and I appreciate you sharing that to my channel because I feel like a lot of people um needed to hear that. A lot of men need to hear that a lot of men need to be having these discussions we are having. They're not easy.
Speaker 2:It affects our manlyhood, it affects our livelihood but that's why I say talk to other men, talk to other men as well, like, right, so I have nothing against you know, uh, speaking to, uh, you know, uh, females about your problems, uh, but for me personally, what's helped is to speak to other men that are in the same situation as you or that actually, you know, have the time or that care about you, right, you know. So try and find people like that, because most people they're not really going to care about what you're going through, like because they can't feel it right. So how can they physically care about it? They can't physically because they're not feeling it. So, yeah, just find people that are going through what you're going through and have a positive mindset as well, because you don't want to find people that just always complain about the pain and they feel stuck because they're not going to help you. So you want to find people that are on the healing journey, that have healed stuff like that, right, and make sure you speak to them. If you find it hard to access people like that, then yeah, as I said, I just try and find like positive, like male support groups or you know, speak to, like you know, your, your, you know, like your close male friend about it or something like that. But, um, yeah, that's what helped me.
Speaker 2:And then, obviously after that, um, I did find a female partner, but that's when I was actually feeling a lot better. But I wasn't 100 healed at this time, I was like 90 95. But, um, yeah, since, since, since finding her, everything, you know, everything got better as well from there. You know, because at first I was very scared to have, you know, any kind of sexual intercourse just because of you know what, yeah, because of what I thought triggered it in the beginning. Um, so I was very, very like, I was very, very wary of that.
Speaker 2:But, you know, actually going ahead and, um, yeah, like you know, uh, closing the deal, we should say, uh, like, it was fine, you know, and I felt, I felt I felt a lot better. Um, after, it wasn't actually as bad as I thought, um, but I was still keeping up all of the practices, and then I also incorporated her into practices, so I taught her about journaling and that's helped her a lot. I've, I've, I used to do stretches with her as well. You know, she's way more flexible than me, but we used to do, like you know, pelvic stretches together Cause you know women can do it too. You know so like you just want to kind other people that you care about and you know, just make sure you do it every day.
Speaker 1:That's true, man. I think to close this topic out of the podcast. I think that's very true and I wanted to add something important that you guys, I think, would. I've mentioned this one time on my other YouTube channel was when I went to one time to the urologist. There was two older men that both had prostate cancer and I remember overhearing um cause they were talking about it and you know they're older. They were healed from prostate cancer. They were just checking in with the doctor and one of the things that they were doing was what they should have done in the past, which they mentioned.
Speaker 1:They were like I wish I would have opened up more. I wish I would have talked or have somebody to talk to, and maybe you don't have that person, maybe you don't have but people like us here in the community. You're hearing us speak about it. Right, Be open about it, because it's better to be open about it. Do your research now, before it's too late. And one of the things that I got from them was the fact that they had wished they were more open in regards to their issues before, before things turned into cancer or before they were, you know, got checked Right Because of your man's pride Right, especially in their private parts. We get that. So you mentioning that, you saying, ryan, that opening up, sharing I think a lot of it also helps the mind. I think that's very important. I appreciate you sharing that.
Speaker 1:Something learned from people who are older, who have gone through this. If you're new to this, if you've been suffering for a while, maybe you learned something from myself. Maybe you learned something from Ryan Do your research, try different things, don't give up. There's a lot of men that have suffered, that still suffer and eventually will continue to suffer it's not just us so and you won't be the first and you won't be the last. Just remember that. So, um, that ends this part of the discussion. Brian, I appreciate you, so now let's move on to the other side. Uh, since the last time we saw you here on the channel, you were doing different things, right?
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:But now you have started your own business, which I thought was really interesting, especially for people who are trying to do and grow a lot of their social medias or social media platforms. You're starting something up, open the platform to you so you can have that floor and talk about what is it that you do and how you can help people out that are trying to grow in their content creation, their business, their coaching, all of that stuff.
Speaker 2:Thank you. Well, first I need to put on my invisible business hat.
Speaker 1:So there you go.
Speaker 2:I've now. I've now done so. So, yeah, basically, you know, I have a social media management and content creation agency. So we help, you know, founders and coaches scale through the use of short form content, because short form content is pretty much taking over social media right now. So we help them basically come up with content ideas. So we give them a 30-day content calendar uh, we help them to create the content. So we either have like a done for you model, where we come in and we shoot the content for them, or we have a done with you model, which is the model that we offer the most, because we actually want to work with people internationally as well. When we do work with people internationally, so done with you works a lot better because it's like we can send you the ideas, you create the videos and you send it back and then we edit them and then we post it on your behalf. So we post it on your behalf to the four biggest platforms, being instagram, tiktok, uh x and youtube nice, so that saves you.
Speaker 2:It saves you so much time, like we do your captions, we do hashtags, like we do everything for you as well. You know what I?
Speaker 1:mean Right. So basically, uh, if you're having a business or you're doing some type of life coaching or any coaching in general, instead of them worrying about your you know the social media part where they could grow they will concentrate just on their side of business and you will take care of the managing of the platforms and helping them grow right yeah, because, like being a coach and this is the thing like when I very first started out, I was just trying to kind of work with like all kind of businesses, you know, and at the end of the day, like you wanna, you wanna pick a niche, you wanna specialize in that niche.
Speaker 2:You don't want to come across as like a jack of all trades and a master of none. Want to specialize in that niche. You don't want to come across as like a jack of all trades and a master of none. So, like the niche that I decided to, yeah, jack of all trades and a master of none, so the thank you for. So the niche I decided to go for was coaches, because I'm a super, super fan of personal development. If you can't tell already, behind me I have a book give me one second, give me a second.
Speaker 2:All right, not to worry, but I'm going to keep going, guys. So behind me I have a bookshelf that's literally full of books, right. So I'm all about personal development. So I actually love learning from coaches myself, right, and you know, like mentors, uh, so I have a lot of uh, mentors. They might not be physical mentors, but they're mentors that I, you know, that I read, you know. They're mentors that I watch on youtube, because you're, you know, like, for you to have mentors, like you don't, you know, necessarily have to have somebody that you physically know and that you spend a lot of time with. You can have, like you know, mentors that you watch on youtube or you know books that you read. So, yeah, basically, I love that, I love that whole industry. I, I love that field and I love teaching as well.
Speaker 2:So I've done a lot of talks myself, including at Halifax Flagship Bank, and that's actually like a bank in the UK, and I've done. Well, I think you guys have got Halifax in America maybe I don't know, but it's over here anyway, but I've done a talk there anyway in London, basically helping young people transition into the entertainment industry and entrepreneurship. So, and I really, really enjoyed that. You know like it was very, very fulfilling. You know, for me to actually coach people and for me to kind of give back. So I'm like why not community soon on a platform called schoolcom which we're actually helping coaches to? You know, build a paid membership community on there and then we're helping them scale through the content and the social media management. So, whether you're an established coach or whether you're somebody that wants to get into coaching, then we're basically the you know, the go-to solution for that. And yeah, on that community that I build, I'll basically be teaching people about sales and marketing because I have 12 years experience in that, in corporate sales and marketing.
Speaker 2:So I've worked for over 12 different companies. You know many startups, but also a fortune 500 global company and um. I was actually the uh, yeah, yeah, you know, one of the highest well, at times the highest um sdr on the team, which is a sales development representative. Meaning, like you know, I was booking the most appointments and you know stuff like that for the company. So you know, I obviously know a thing or two about sales. You know all of my positions have been in sales. I've been a business development manager, I've been a sales manager, I've been a sales executive, I've been a recruitment consultant, I've been a you you know senior delegate, uh, senior delegate Um I went to bed late, uh, but anyway, a senior delegate, uh, events, uh, sales specialist. You know, I've I've had literally like so many different roles that, um, I can't, I can't remember them all, but they're all in sales. But, like, some of the biggest roles is obviously like business development manager, um, and a sales manager right, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 1:So, uh, you said that you probably well, you specialize more with people who are do coaching. Do you see yourself in the future expanding into other things, or do you feel like that's going to be your niche for yourself for for a while?
Speaker 2:well, no, like you know I do, I do want to help founders and coaches, but it will basically just be centered around that, so I don't want to completely be like okay, like you know, we can't help entrepreneurs with sales and marketing. You know, because we can, especially through the school community that I'm going to launch. You know I could teach them through coaching. But when it comes to working with a specific client, you know, as me and you were, you know, speaking about earlier it's like different companies have different ways of marketing. So, say, for example, for a coach, stuff like this works really well, like podcasts, and you know, being a personal brand works amazing.
Speaker 2:But if you're like a roofing company, for example, you know, like why would a roofing company really need a podcast? Like people are not going online and typing in roofing company. You know podcasts on youtube, like because they want their roof fixed, or you know they want roofing company really need a podcast? Like people are not going online and typing in roofing company, you know podcasts on YouTube, like because they want their roof fixed, or you know they want a new roof. Do you know what I mean? So you just got to think about you know. Like. You know the, you know, like the type of marketing that you're doing for your client and that's why if you specialize specific niche, then you know, like the sky's the limit and at the end of the day, one thing that I am good at is building a personal brand, because I built a personal brand within an entertainment industry that done numbers, you know, like you've seen, you've seen a brand for yourself across multiple platforms as well.
Speaker 2:And that's another thing that uh kind of gets gets my nerves going is when somebody says, oh, I'm a social media specialist because I've grown to 20 000 on tick tock. It's like, but there's 15 year olds that are growing to 20 000, 40 000 on tick tock in a month because all they do is post memes every day. It doesn't make you. It doesn't make you a specialist at all.
Speaker 2:Like, what makes your specialist is if you can grow on multiple brands, if you know how to sorry multiple platforms, if you know how to grow a brand across multiple platforms, then you can put your hand up and say something. But if you just manage to attain how many thousands of followers on one platform, it doesn't make you a social media specialist at all. It might make you a specialist at growing on tiktok or a specialist at growing on instagram, but to call yourself a social media specialist is, you know, like quite uh, yeah, like quite a far shot, yeah, yeah, because I mean, if you think about it, you can just go off, blow off of one video or something that you post, and you know, there are your numbers.
Speaker 1:You know what I mean? I don't think. I think, uh, that's very important, though it's not just about numbers, it's about not just you know quantity, but it's about substance, right? So what you're bringing to the table, what I'm hearing is you're bringing substance to the table because you have experience on the sales and the marketing. You have experience on growing your own personal brand. What's your YouTube channel was actually pretty successful.
Speaker 1:The official was really good and I'm glad you move into this. I feel like a lot of people can benefit for this. But I have a question for you. So if one person came to you and they said hey, listen, maybe I don't want all of that you're offering, but I want some of it that you're offering, Are you open to that? Are you opposed to it? How would you work around that?
Speaker 2:somebody came to you and said let's make this, like you know, like let's make this an hour, because I know that it's it's gonna spill over 45 minutes, but that's fine, I've got. I've got, I've got time for you. But, um, yeah, so yeah, go on. Like what did you say? So like, if somebody comes to me and then they say that they want help in, um, you know, and they want to help in a certain, in what?
Speaker 1:so you specialize, uh, in different, in different things. When I mean to like social media and managing, right. So what if they need only like a certain part of um, of what you're offering? Right, maybe just managing. Maybe they don't need just the community, but maybe the managing part like we can do a custom like you know make a custom like package for them and things of that nature.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, like a million percent, of course we will. So, basically, in a nutshell, with our content creation uh package, right, so we basically get people to join a 12 month growth partnership program with us. Um, and the reason that I say 12 months and I want to work with people for 12 months isn't because I want to sign you into a 12 month contract. It's just because it literally takes time to build a brand online. You're not, you're not gonna, you know, from 30 videos in a month like build a brand, like, as you even know for yourself, carlos like it takes longer than that, you know oh yeah, man there's no point.
Speaker 2:There's literally no point, like, if you're looking just for a quick win, like you know, go somewhere else and be prepared to be ripped off to you, because anyone that's trying to sell you a quick win in this industry they're just here to take your money, right, it takes it, take it, takes time, it takes time and energy and focus right. So, yeah, um, literally, because even within the first month, right, if you're, if you're, if you're starting out on social media, within the first month, even youtube doesn't fully know your audience, like the first month that I tried to look at my statistics on youtube.
Speaker 2:Youtube is like, you know, come, come back and check in a few days. It's, it's been a month, bro, like chill, you know. So it's like, bro, like these social media platforms, like they need time to understand your audience. You're not going to get an algorithm, yeah, you're not going to get. You're not going to get the right metrics from like a month, two months, three months work or even six months work. You know it takes at least a year of solid, you know, showing up every day and putting out content for you to really get, like you know, a full scope of what's going on. You know what I mean. So, yeah, it's a 12 month um growth partnership program.
Speaker 2:We have two different uh packages. So we have a content creation package which is 30 videos, right, 30 videos at 895 a month. So that's 895 pound. The cost can be covered through us creating you that school community, because we're looking to drive traffic to the school community. If you charge 97 a month for it, say, for example, then you've pretty much covered the cost in like eight clients. You know like eight, eight clients and you've covered the cost of like 895. You know so, and you're still making like a little bit of profit. So, yeah, you know, that's basically like the first package.
Speaker 2:And then the second one is content creation and social media management. So we actually offer a bundle deal with this as well. So you can get your 30 videos and you can get social media management worth £495 for the four platforms for only £1,195. So, for £1,195, you can get your Instagram, your TikTok, your YouTube and your X managed with your 30 videos and a content calendar, right, and a content calendar that we give you for free, a 30-day content calendar, and we do the captions, the hashtags, and we post on your behalf and we send you a weekly report of your analytics every Friday as well. So every Friday, you'll get a weekly analytic report, and we every friday as well. So every friday you'll get an analytical report and we give you your own dedicated account manager.
Speaker 2:So we add you to a community on sorry, sorry. So we add you to a private group on slack or on whatsapp, and then that's how we communicate with you. So you're essentially getting 24 7 support as well. But, um, we make you an admin on the software platform that we use, so so you can literally just approve posts, or, if you want any posts modified. You can just ask for it to be modified on a platform. So there's no like back and forth calls or emails. Everything is done on the platform when it comes to the management, and then we send you your report within the group that you belong to on WhatsApp or Slack, the yeah, like within a group that you belong to on WhatsApp or Slack.
Speaker 1:You know, I really like, I really like that business, especially for people who take their the coaching or anything along those lines very serious and they want, they want to grow.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I think that's very, very helpful because I wish I would have had some type of help when I was coming up and I was trying to grow up in my YouTube channel, trying to like grow and trying to figure out ways to do things. Uh, of course, my realm of my YouTube channel is a different uh perspective and different audience that I reach. But I feel like if I had a business I'll be great, because I don't think people understand the the how time consuming social media and marketing and marketing yourself is like it's so time consuming making a video hour days where I'm just editing content bro bro, making this video takes time.
Speaker 1:Then you gotta edit it, then you gotta post it, then you gotta uh, do the thumbnail.
Speaker 2:Just when a video can take hours right on youtube alone, do the market research as well, like using the tools as you said, like QBD, vidiq. You've got to do like hashtag research oh my Lord. You've got to do title research. You've got to do description research oh my Lord. People don't know the half. But yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 1:No, it's a grind, bro. It's a grind, and what you're doing is saving people time, that's what you're doing, you're paying for time.
Speaker 1:That's what they're doing. They're paying for time. You concentrate on your business and I will help you grow on this side. You don't have to worry about this. I got this on my end and my team, and then you can do this on your end of your team and eventually you'll all walk together because, right, they will feed off each other and it's always, and it's always adapting, like social media is always changing.
Speaker 2:You know, like what happened last year, you know, doesn't necessarily mean it's gonna happen this year like, as you see now, right, when it comes to videos, right, short form videos, right, like that's obviously what's working the best. But it's not like just, oh, let me sit in front of my camera and speak for 30 seconds to a minute and then post it and hope people see it. People are swiping straight. If you don't have, if you don't have the transitions that most videos have now, like the zoom in, zoom out effects and like the, you know, like the subtitles that pop out in all the different colors, people are skipping straight past your video. If you don't have a strong hook, that's another thing. People don't even know about hooks.
Speaker 1:People don't know about having a strong hook First seconds but look, that's the thing.
Speaker 2:Like, people don't notice, right? So this is exactly what we help people with, right? Because you could be saying, oh, social media doesn't work for me. I've been posting videos you know, two, three times a day for a month and nothing's happened. I come and I check your videos. They're not even engaging.
Speaker 2:You don't have, you don't? You don't have the modern um edits on them. You know, like, you have like no transitions. You have no, uh, you know, eye catching subtitles. Of course people are going to skip straight past it.
Speaker 2:When every other content creator, um, is basically adapting to the new style and you're still making videos that are bland and boring, of course people are going to skip, skip past. It doesn't mean it doesn't work, it's just that this is what's working right now. Do you know what I mean? And you need to keep up with the time. So we help you with that and we actually help um analyze your analytics, too, because even analytics needs to be, uh, analyzed, right?
Speaker 2:You can't just look at your analytics and be like, okay, um, I've grown in this area. Like, you need to know, like, what audience is tapping into you. Okay, this is how much, uh percentage of females are tapping into me. This is how much percentage of males are, uh, you know, tapping into the brand. This is you know where my audience are like.
Speaker 2:People might not be interested in your product in the us and you might live in the us. They might mainly be interested in your product in the uk. Why are you going to keep shooting out content, uh, targeting at people in the us, when you have a whole bunch of people in the uk that love your content and that want to buy from you? So there's so much different things that go into it and that you know you have to look at, and I think that a lot of business sorry, not even a business owners, but a lot of entrepreneurs and like just general people they don't understand, as you said, the fundamentals that really go into growing the brand on social media. There's so much to it, man.
Speaker 1:Yeah, man, it's a big game. Adding to the time concept, I think you explained that very well, the fact that, like you, there's so many little things that go into just posting a video right and that's just on one platform I just talked about youtube.
Speaker 2:I didn't. I didn't talk about instagram. I didn't talk about tiktok, I didn't talk about x. Like you know, like all of these platforms, like they work differently and they have different ways that you have to post the content. They have different ways that you, you, to post the content. They have different ways that you, you know, have to format the content. You know, like they all have their own different ways and you have to learn this stuff. Do you know what I mean? That's what we do. Like I've been on social media since the age of 15, you know, growing a brand. You know, like that brand didn't happen overnight. So I've been doing this like day in, day out, for like how many years. Now I'm 27. So you know, you guys do the math. So pretty much 12 years, you know over 12 years.
Speaker 1:So, yeah, I feel you on that, man, and I think that's the, I think that's the catch, like that's the important part, the fact that you are saving people a lot of time, and that time is is very precious, because if you don't understand just the game itself on one platform, imagine trying to understand four or five platforms on where you're trying to grow.
Speaker 1:That is so much. I mean. Even now, I love doing what I do in the content creation, but all these things that you're telling me I had to learn and research myself. I had to take so much hours out of my time to try to make little things happen, to make my content better, for things to stand out, like you said right, trying to find platforms that help me with little things and words that stand out, because the people that you're competing with this is so important the people that you're competing with is people who do this full time, right, and obviously you're not doing this full time and you're not even doing it just full time, but you're probably half-assing it. So even that in itself is hard. I do this and I have a passion for it, and I'm not even doing it as a great of a job, as I wanted to, but it's because it's so time consuming. It's hard to have that constant motivation every single day.
Speaker 1:So it makes very much sense, very good sense, man. So I think it's something that would do good for a lot of people, a lot of businesses, and eventually I'm sure you'll find your niche and you'll find your realm of things on what you will specialize in, and I think that's going to be really good for you and for the people that you're helping. So anything else, go ahead.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no. So look, it's definitely working with personal brands and that's why I said you know like coaches. But you know, as you said, if I had to, you know, pick like uh like another vertical as well alongside coaches, and it will just be. You know like entrepreneurs. You know so entrepreneurs and coaches, but it's mainly on the personal brand side, like 100, because I haven't got. I haven't got like you know uh, super success stories like growing, know, uh, like an e-commerce brand online, for example, where I have to put out uh you know videos of products. You know I haven't got like a huge success or putting out videos of services, but what I have got a huge success in is building a personal brand where I was marketing myself in the entertainment industry right, I was marketing myself and I was building a personal brand and a personal persona, right, that's where I do have like a lot of experience and like a great track record and, you know, great success, and so that's basically and that's my USP.
Speaker 2:You know like my unique selling point is look, unlike other agencies out here that are offering this service, have any of them grown a personal brand? Like nine times out of 10 is no like. Like you know they've got an agency that's trying to help other people grow personal brands, but they haven't even grown a personal brand themselves. You can't find anything of them online. You just see their company, you know. So I'm like okay, you know, like yeah, like anyone can kind of do that, but when it comes to working with the right person, then you know, um, actually choosing to, you know, uh, work alongside us is, you know, you're actually getting the experience from me, from somebody that's actually done it and I, and from somebody that's doing it again. I'm, I'm, I'm doing it again, and I've already hit 50 K uh views in a month for my YouTube channel. Right, and I've just started out.
Speaker 2:I've literally just started out Right, that's beautiful. And even on TikTok, you know, like one of the videos went viral, had done like 54 000 views, and it's only. It was only like three or four days, like three or four days in, do you know?
Speaker 1:I mean so from somebody that has the experience, that's done it before and that's currently doing it again, like why would you not work with me right, or at least give you a shot so you can have a conversation and then see why you can help them out?
Speaker 2:yeah and look like and and and and and. That's why, at the moment, what our offer is is building people a a school community, because we actually set that up for free for them and then at least they have, you know, like a monthly recurring uh revenue, like that's what we're helping them with, because as soon as they actually get a paid member on board, like as long as they retain that member, which school helps you do, because it has different um, you know, like uh activities, um on the platform and like you know like leaderboards and stuff platform and like you know, like leaderboards and stuff like that, where people can level up within your community, it keeps your audience retained on the platform anyway, because they've got the infrastructure on there to do that right. So, as I said, all it takes is a certain amount of paid memberships, right for your community, in order for you to basically pay and cover the cost for our service uh on a month by month basis and still profit. So like we're not like other agencies that come in that want to be your growth partner, that know that you're going to make signups and that is like, okay, we're going to take 50 from you, right, so we're going to help you. But we're going to take 50 from every single, you know, sign up that you make, because that is what a lot of growth partners are doing and they're making crazy money from that, right, because they know that by posting content, you know every day, especially the right content, um, and you know, uh, marketing yourself in the right way, you will get signups. So what we're going to do is we're just going to help them do that and then we're just going to, you know, take 50 off of that effort and then, plus all of the other effort that they're doing behind the scenes that we're not helping them with, whereas we don't do that. You know, we don't do that at all.
Speaker 2:Like you know, we basically charge you a certain fee per month and that's on the low end too, like that is with a percentage off as well, by the way, it's usually a lot more. Usually it's like 1495, like for the 30 videos, but you know, like we're doing 40 off, you know, at the moment at 895, right. So yeah, bro, um, and sorry, what was I gonna say? Yeah, and we help people join your community and anything else that you make over, that is all yours.
Speaker 2:So yeah, it's all yours from the start to begin with, um, but obviously we want to make sure that you're breaking even and that you're turning up, uh, you know, like an ROI, like you actually are getting a return on investment and that's why, you know, like we plug the numbers like this because eight, nine five is quite it's not the most expensive, but like it's quite affordable to like most people that are serious anyway, especially if you have a nine to five and you have money saved up. You know, I'm pretty sure you have. You know eight, nine five that you can invest into this. You know like and yeah, you know, see your business grow.
Speaker 1:Awesome man. I appreciate you sharing that, bro. I think the I personally and this is no bias I really like, I like that concept. I like, I like that so much because if I felt, I felt like if I had something along those lines that I needed your help with and in that realm I would be really interested, you know what I mean, Because I would have wanted to concentrate, like my business and my time, on something else except the social media part.
Speaker 2:And, bro, look like that's what it is as well. You know why I'm only picking one vertical is not just because picking a niche helps you to get to your desired outcome the fastest, but also because people in different industries might not have the best offer. Or you know, like it might not be super trackable. Let's say, for example, you're a restaurant, right, like how can you? How can you tell like who's coming in? You know, from your marketing efforts, like you can't really track that obviously if you get like an influx of customers, you know, since you've been doing marketing, then I guess you know like it's the marketing that's doing it. Right, but you can't really track that people have come from your social media platform unless they have a certain code that they tell you and then they get a discount or they say, hey, I found you on Instagram and I came in to eat from you. You're not really going to be able to tell so it's not, it's not the most trackable.
Speaker 2:With this we can. We can help you create that offer that people want and we can help you basically make residual income every month by having that paid community. So we help you create an offer, because it depends on the offer like some coaches like they could be, um, doing well with like one-to-one consultations right, like off of off of the platform, like off of social media, like just by meeting people in person and referrals and stuff. But does that mean that that's going to sell on social media? Like not? Not, you know, like not necessarily. So we hope you come up with that offer right, and that's pretty much why we're pushing the school community alongside the content creation and social media management perfect man that.
Speaker 1:That explained it very well, bro. I appreciate that appreciate that. That was very thorough. Um, where can people find you? So people can hey guys.
