Tequila, TikTok, and Finding One's Voice with Brev
Meet Brev, the Filipino-Chinese content creator who's mastered the delicate art of balancing a 9-to-5 corporate job with a thriving social media presence. With his authentic storytelling and relatable content, Brev has captured the attention of thousands while maintaining his day job in human resources at a financial institution.
Brev's journey into content creation began unexpectedly. After taking marketing classes from Google and LinkedIn, he decided to put his new skills to the test on TikTok—and quickly gained traction. His breakthrough came with his "Hawaii math" video, which catapulted him into wider recognition. But what keeps his audience growing isn't just clever content; it's his refreshingly honest approach to social media.
During our conversation, Brev shares wisdom that contradicts typical content creation advice. "Become the niche," he suggests, rather than limiting yourself to a specific topic. He believes authenticity resonates more deeply than specialization, allowing creators to connect on a truly personal level with their audience. This philosophy has served him well, as he hasn't missed posting content—whether a video or story—for a single day since beginning his journey.
The podcast delves into Brev's multicultural background, his perspectives on Hawaiian culture, and his dreams of living in Japan for three months. We also explore the nightlife scenes across different countries, with Brev offering fascinating comparisons between clubbing in Hawaii versus Japan, where he appreciates the cleanliness and respectful atmosphere despite the revelry.
Whether you're an aspiring content creator, someone curious about balancing creative pursuits with corporate careers, or simply interested in authentic perspectives on island life, Brev's insights offer valuable takeaways about consistency, authenticity, and finding your voice in the crowded digital landscape.

Speaker 3:So my or something, or stripper or um, I'll think about that. Oh, hell, yeah so um my nine-to-five is specifically like in human resources or in talent development and training. So I do that as my nine-to-five at a financial institution no way.
Speaker 1:So you say, um like training, um any hard ones or any like off the wall like girl or guy, you don't have it, uh, any of those what do you mean, like?
Speaker 3:can you clarify okay?
Speaker 1:clarifying as in um, you don't got the talent or you don't have what it takes type of situation oh, you mean, if I'm training somebody, yeah yeah, if you're training, yeah, um, has that ever across you where you train them and you're like, oh yo, this is not it uh, you know, to be honest, I there have been like those thoughts, but sometimes it there might be some underlying issue.
Speaker 3:Oh, yeah, it's going on behind, so I always try to uncover that or talk to their manager um to see if they want to have, like a conversation with their employee yeah, if I feel like they're struggling and it's something else other than the content, then that's usually when, like, I'll take action.
Speaker 3:But there has been instances where I'm like oh, sis, like I don't know, you know but then I I don't want to like the energy, I don't want it to just be like you're done, but it's more so. What can we do to help you? Because you're already here, we want you to be part of here, um, so, like, what can we do?
Speaker 1:really so. Is it like a talent agency or whatnot or something like that? Or um god, it's on the tip of my tongue, but it's do these people get like like, say, on air or on tv or anything, or like more behind the scenes?
Speaker 3:What do you mean?
Speaker 1:So is this like the agency that you're or whom you're working for? Oh yeah, do these people do they flourish into, like, say, in front of a camera, or are they flourishing behind the desk?
Speaker 3:Oh, no, no, no, this is like because I work at a bank, right.
Speaker 1:Oh, okay, same lesson. Yeah, this is like because I work at a bank, right?
Speaker 3:Oh, okay, same lesson. Yeah, so I work at a bank and it's a mixture of front line and back office people.
Speaker 1:Okay, Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait back. I used to work in the mortgage department of a bank and, oh my gosh, the paperwork that goes behind that. Oh, I hated it so much man.
Speaker 3:It's wild. Yeah, I can get wild in the back office. Oh, I bet.
Speaker 1:Hey, whatever goes on in the back office stays in the back office. You feel me In the back office is. Have you ever watched the Office?
Speaker 3:Yes, yes, is it like that?
Speaker 1:That type of I guess.
Speaker 3:No, oh no. I think the Office is what everybody wants to say and wants to do in real life.
Speaker 2:I wish yes.
Speaker 3:You know, what I mean, but they don't because professionalism.
Speaker 1:Oh right, oh gosh. And then you got cameras everywhere, and this and the third.
Speaker 3:But they're definitely portraying, I think, what we're thinking.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, definitely oh yeah, hell, yeah.
Speaker 1:And then Brev you content create as well, yes, okay. So let me ask you when you started content creating, right?
Speaker 3:how did it snowball to where you're at now? Yeah, it's a good question, oh thank you.
Speaker 1:Thank you, I try, I try. Sorry this might be like a long John Owl, but Let it be long and let it be drawn Pause.
Speaker 3:Sorry, excuse me. So essentially I didn't want to start content creating, but I took a marketing class from Google and LinkedIn and I wanted to put it into play, into use. And then, when I took those skills and like I tried it out, I first started off on TikTok and then I kind of blew up on TikTok and I was like okay, so the things I learned in my marketing class worked.
Speaker 2:Oh shit no way.
Speaker 3:And then it kind of just snowfalled and I just kept doing. I just kept doing it because it was like fun to talk to people.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Oh no. No, that's good. It's great to hear that you still have the passion in doing so because this whole podcast thing statistics say that after the third episode people just drop off and quit because they're not seeing the results that they thought that they were going to get when they started oh, I see, so yeah so it's good to hear that you kept on you.
Speaker 3:You kept on being persistent yeah and it's where you're at now yeah, yeah, I think there's like a what is it called? Like an 80 20 rule, where 80 of your content will not perform to like the highest level, but the other 20 will. So it's like, well, a lot of people just focus on the 80 and then they get dumbed down or they feel bad or like they quit because you know they're not seeing the result they want to see oh my gosh, I feel you keep going, sis oh, oh yeah, hey, definitely, hey, keep on going.
Speaker 1:Because I was a little discouraged when I started this. Oh, yeah, and then I forgot which episode it was. No, I remember which episode it was. It was one of my homegirls that was on and that shit just blew up on the listener side.
Speaker 1:you know it never blew up on like like, say, the ig or the views on youtube, but I see my, like, my spotify numbers and because of that episode it was like and I was like oh, wow, well, I'm fitting to keep on going on this shit, but I mean, I actually like love this stuff because I'm talking to like different personalities, different people, and now that I know how to do it virtually, oh my gosh, my fucking, my list of people I want to talk to like on the mainland and in Europe and London and all that. Oh, yeah, dog, it's there and my shit just went off for some reason, but I got a backup camera, so I'm going to ask you this question. This might be a little drawn out.
Speaker 1:The Hawaiian culture, right? Uh, the hawaiian culture, right? Um, you lived here your whole life from, like, say, the beginning and like to where you're at now. Uh, since you're like, say, half and half, uh, how was that like growing up? Because I'm gonna assume that while you were growing up, they thought you were chinese, right, or or like were you? Were you, I mean like, were you more asian side looking?
Speaker 3:yeah then you know the filipino part I, you know, I don't know, I, I don't know like what. I don't know what the thoughts of other people were when I was growing up. Should I keep talking or should I pause?
Speaker 2:oh no, don't even you know what?
Speaker 1:yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, and then we'll just talk, uh, I'll just talk to you while, uh, we're motherfucking, just going oh, okay so, uh, what, uh, okay, my next question is what school did you go?
Speaker 3:to for elementary school uh you know what? Okay, high school high school, high school.
Speaker 1:I went to a high school, high school guys down the road, okay, 94 blocks oh, my power forever, yes, yes I'm uh one of my good one, uh my wife's good girlfriends, crystal she was in my papa, and every time we hang out she was like I'm a 94 block, I'm like'm, like, oh my gosh. And then there's people in the guard like that. So I'm like what the fuck does a 94 mean? And then now I'm learning it's the zip code.
Speaker 3:It's the zip code. The last two digits of the zip code, yeah, or something.
Speaker 1:And then people in Ewa.
Speaker 3:I'm like Ewa boys, 76 South Dog shut up, man, it's an island.
Speaker 1:What claim shut up, man, it's an island. What claim are you really claiming? You know, oh gosh, how was high school like. Did you, um, were you like in drum class or were you like a geek like me that played?
Speaker 3:instruments um high school good room. No, high school was like a pretty interesting time during high school. I was what was I doing? I was in high school. I was pretty I guess you could say academically smart yeah like I had a good GPA. I had a good GPA and I was in council like student council like a secretary or president or whatever. No, I didn't do like a role, I just was like a member. He was a member.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, she was just a member. You got to get a benefits out of that, huh she? Ain't got time for that, she ain't got time for dog stop, okay, so you were doing that. Did you play any sports back in the day?
Speaker 3:in high school. No no I tried to go into volleyball but I was like I can't do like council and volleyball at the same time. It was too much. I needed my like alone time after school. So I can't be doing too. I can't be staying in campus till five, oh snap okay, so can I ask you this?
Speaker 1:and um, I don't know if you have the answer, but I see a lot of, um, I see a lot of, I guess, high school kids. Right, they're walking down the street. What's up with them wearing, like, the hoodies and these, you know these jackets, and it's so hot out, like what, like I know when you, when they take it off, they be stank. Yeah, they be stank, unless they, you know, they don't put on deodorant. And then you know, I'm gonna say like 80 of these kids don't. Oh, um, yeah, what's up with, you know, kids wearing these jackets because you know they don't put on deodorant.
Speaker 2:And then you know, I'm going to say like 80% of these kids don't.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, what's up with you know? Kids wearing these jackets? Because, if you know, if I was living here, you would never catch me going to school wearing that shit.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I guess, like because in the morning, I guess to the people who were like born and raised here it's like cold in the I guess quote unquote colder in the morning, so maybe they're wearing a sweater and they just go to school, and maybe that's why at the end of the day you see some of them walking home with their jacket just hanging off their necks. Oh, I don't know, but I never. Me too, in high school I was hot, so I never wore sweaters to school.
Speaker 1:Good.
Speaker 3:My best friend, though. She used to wear jackets all the time. Like how are you? Like, how are you wearing that? It's so hot.
Speaker 1:Let me ask you, was your girl stank when she took off her sweater, Like did you get a whiff? No, not that I remember, but there was some trust.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, women stank and men stank are two totally different stanks. I'm not going to lie and okay, so this might be a little TMI, but with guys they smell like ball sweat. You know, like when you take off your underwear at the end of the day and you're like, oh damn what the fuck. And then women stank is I'm sorry, like the fish market stank and I'm like I I cannot lie, but I do appreciate you know hygiene yeah yes, I do appreciate hygiene and with hygiene um, do you appreciate hygiene as well?
Speaker 3:oh yeah, definitely so are you uh, uh?
Speaker 1:are you a armpit, um like, do you shave your armpits, trim them, or do you just leave them banging?
Speaker 3:no, I, I have really thin hair or fine hair. Even my hair hair is like really fine, so I don't like really shave or anything, because it's like really fine, so it's almost like non-existent.
Speaker 2:And I'm super blessed for that.
Speaker 1:So what do you think of? Okay with the guys that shave their armpits?
Speaker 3:I see it weird To me it's weird, because I'm used to you know, I'm used to seeing you know hair there, yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean me personally. I like hair in the armpits, uh-huh. Not saying that's like a kink or anything, she just has a preference. I don't mind it. I don't mind either. Like, do what you like. Like, like what you do. Really how?
Speaker 1:about how. About a hairy chest um, it depends on the figure like okay, so let's say um a viking. Looking you know I'm saying like roman guy yeah, if I'm in the moment then maybe then the hair's there. Huh yeah, but how about like an austin power situation?
Speaker 3:where he's just that's like, sorry, go shave, sis, let's not do that oh, my god, that's funny.
Speaker 1:Um, so I an ick. For me is like when a woman doesn't shave their armpits right, I'm okay with the, with the little stubbles, the little prickles, but when it becomes like long where you could almost braid it like a small braid, I'm like, oh, you know what you're, uh I'm, so you know what I'm saying your, uh, your level of attractiveness just went down 20 points and yeah, um, how about, uh, hairy legs?
Speaker 3:I, I don't really care for the leg.
Speaker 1:You don't care for the legs, I don't uh, yeah how about toes?
Speaker 3:uh, hairy toes. That's a little not for me either, not for you. How about the toenails though?
Speaker 1:I've seen messed up toenails on the island and I'm like, ooh, is it disrespectful if I said, if I made a comment like, hey, you might want to cut those before they?
Speaker 3:I don't know For me, I wouldn't say anything. I don't have the balls to say stuff to other people like that. It's so hard.
Speaker 1:Would you say it to a sis?
Speaker 3:To my friend.
Speaker 1:Yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 3:If it's my best friend, or if it's my friend, I'm like girl, let's go do our nails.
Speaker 1:That's the subtle way of saying hey, your shit's kind of jacked up.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, yeah. Me and my friends, we keep each other accountable Like we read each other, oh that's good, that's good.
Speaker 1:Are you into tarot cards at all, or anything?
Speaker 3:Or are you into? No, I think like my younger self was Really. Like after high school I was like into astrology and stuff like that. There's a part of me that still believes it. But I'm not as into it as I was before.

Speaker 1:So what's what's the proper way in like say, I'm meeting him for the first time. Is it what's up man, or what's up girl, or what's good? Do I just leave that out and just be like what's good?
Speaker 3:well, I would probably have a pre-conversation him, ask him be like, do you like? Can we have fun with this?
Speaker 1:yeah, yeah, you know like there's people who are not so serious and there's people who are more serious about it, so I would just ask him okay, oh, because I would always wonder, because, um, I talked to kitty pine uh-huh.
Speaker 1:And then I'd be like what's up man and she's like oh no and then no, no, she, no, he slash, he him, uh, they, uh. No, he was really cool about it because he knows, I didn't know any better oh, and then yeah, we just he rolled, he rolled, you know, along with it and I was like man, I'm not trying to be on the side note, I was like I'm not trying to be disrespectful. Yeah yeah but what's up, man, and I call every like a lot of the females.
Speaker 3:I was like hey, what's up man? Yeah, me too. I call a lot of girls bros. I'm like what's up bro? Yeah, I think you know, as long as people know intention. Yeah, I mean like you can feel it so, but yeah, I get it.
Speaker 1:it, oh, definitely. Yeah, with your content right. How fast do you like come up with your ideas, like, do you write them down or is it like right on the spot? I'm doing it right now. Is it planned out?
Speaker 3:I would say 90% of it is just what I'm thinking, or I just videotape everything and then I make it into a video.
Speaker 1:Oh, really yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:So like with my grocery shopping videos, I just grocery shop and then I do my commentary over it. Really yeah, yeah yeah, or a lot of the ones where I'm just talking in my car, that is like on the spot, yeah, yeah, do you not mess up in the car, because I tried it several times.
Speaker 1:I'm like dog, I'm fumbling my words fuck this, I ain't doing this shit no more, no, I just talk.
Speaker 3:I just I just talk, so my like when I record it's like a 10 minute long video, oh shit, I might repeat something or say something, um, but then I edit it down to like a 45 to a minute long video really yeah, yeah, yeah hey, that's what's up.
Speaker 1:Do you still live with your parents or anything, or are you on your own now?
Speaker 3:um, kind of both. So I have a condo, but I rent it out because when I purchased my condo my dad passed away the same month yeah I didn't want to leave my mom alone. Um so my mom lives here in waipahu, so I stay with her majority of the time oh, that's good and I rent out my condo. But my condo I rent out to, like, my one of my good friends, so sometimes I'll like just sleep over, oh yeah definitely right.
Speaker 1:I know I have a toothbrush there already. Why the fuck not right? That's good with the hawaiian culture, like I've noticed, and people tell me that they try to keep family, uh like together, like not move out and stuff. Oh yeah, you know, like. As for me, I'm coming from the mainland. Once you're 18, you're goddamn out you know, I see so it's like I'm I'm trying to, I'm trying to understand that a little bit more.
Speaker 3:Oh, I see yeah, and you know, I think it's all very similar to maybe in like asian culture well some asian cultures. But yeah, that's the vibe here and you see, like these big houses, oh yeah. Yeah, so a lot of them live there. There's like 10 cars Right Outside.
Speaker 1:I'm like, holy crap, how do these people afford these cars and you know, these gold chains and get them all lifted? I'm like, oh, they all live. I mean I guess their mortgage is like $500 or $400 because of all the people that's in there. I'm like wow, holy crap, so you're a homeowner.
Speaker 3:Yes, okay, have you done your taxes yet? I just did them, like two days ago. Holy crap, I forgot taxes. Yeah, I forgot.
Speaker 1:I forgot too. And then I have an appointment on Sunday to do those motherfuckers, oh gosh. So you have your 1098 and everything.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah Right.
Speaker 1:Being a homeowner. Oh my gosh, tell me about it. Would you ever? Did you ever thought that you'd be owning you know, a place you know, with your name on it, in Hawaii?
Speaker 3:No, because my younger self always wanted to move out, like to canada or to asia, but I, you know, I learned more about like investments and like home ownership in hawaii, so I took the chance and just bought one here, probably use it as like a rental property oh nice, yeah.
Speaker 1:And then you said canada, what?
Speaker 3:yeah, hey hey, eh.
Speaker 1:Eh, why did you say Canada first and not like say California, new York, texas?
Speaker 3:Oh girl, from a young age I knew like America is very. It's such an interesting place here. Yeah, a part of me wanted to move out of the USA to either Canada or Asia. It has nothing to do with politics, it's just more so like the vibes.
Speaker 1:Really yeah. What's the vibes in Canada?
Speaker 3:Well, the vibes have changed? I think definitely, Because Canada is also expensive, Like if you want to live in Vancouver or Montreal or Toronto, like all the major cities. This is just as expensive as Hawaii. You know, it's like the same energy, but I feel like the people are different. The food is like healthier this is true.
Speaker 1:I could, I could vouch that yeah even in Asia, you know, like chicken tastes like chicken over here it's just like not a vibe sometimes you're like the fourth person that said that, because I had a couple friends from Japan Not from Japan, but they're here traveled to Japan for like a week or some change. Yeah, yeah, yeah, came back and they were saying that the food tastes like what it was named.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and I was like what he's like.
Speaker 1:yeah, you taste the chicken out there compared to here.
Speaker 3:You're actually tasting that meat and I was like what the I need to go to Japan or some shit. Yes, do it. You got to go have you traveled lately. Yes, where'd you go? Where did I go recently? I just came back from Japan in February.
Speaker 1:Was that during the blossom?
Speaker 3:No, oh, okay, no, I don't go during busy times.
Speaker 1:I like to go like when it's dead and when it's cold. Oh right, it's weird, I know, because it's the opposite of what you know. Oh my gosh, I love the cold. I love looking good in a hoodie, yeah, and some long pants or some jeans. You know, I'm saying, oh my god, you can't do that shit out here, no way. What'd you do in japan?
Speaker 3:uh, this round we just stayed in tokyo and then we ate. I just wanted to eat a bunch of places and then went skiing. I mean I don't ski, my other half skis. But yeah, we just did that.
Speaker 1:So in Japan did you have a chance to look or come near that forest? Which forest? The suicide forest?
Speaker 3:No, that's like about two, I think two, maybe one hour, one to two hours away from like mid-central Tokyo.
Speaker 2:Uh-huh.
Speaker 3:I've never went, no.
Speaker 1:Really yeah, I'm so into the paranormal like that. I would love to visit that and just be like oh sick. Wow, yeah, how's the nightlife in Tokyo? That's where you were staying right.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Is it a vibe like how? It is the way they show it on TV?
Speaker 3:Yeah, what TV show are you?
Speaker 1:referring to. Oh man, I'm talking about, like PBS Hot, Damn Fast and Furious, Touch it. I am so dead yeah.
Speaker 3:You know, the clubbing scene I think in Tokyo is one of the best in my opinion, because there's like other places right. There's like Ibiza, there's Florida, miami, there's Malaysia places right there's Ibiza, there's Florida, miami, there's Malaysia even, or Taiwan if you want to go clubbing. But I like clubbing in Japan because the energy is better, the people, they get drunk and they party and stuff like that, but they still have that respect.
Speaker 2:Japanese people are so respectful.
Speaker 3:So it feels clean when you're out partying versus when you're out somewhere else. It's smelly, but in Japan it's nice. It's just nice, it feels clean.
Speaker 1:Did you have any Japanese locals talk to you in their language? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Did they think that you were? Oh no, oh no.
Speaker 3:No, not like that. My other half, though, he's half Japanese, half Filipino, so he, yeah, people talk to him. Oh, he's fluent, yeah.
Speaker 2:Oh, lucky you right.
Speaker 1:Hey, this is what they said about you man. You better pay him, you better give him that motherfucking tip. You know, yeah, it's funny that you say what's it? Taiwan or whatever, because me and my wife we're binge watching White Lotus.
Speaker 1:Oh, I haven't watched it Really it's really good. It's really good. It's a lot of twists and turns and they were showing this last episode that we've seen they were clubbing in. I think it's Thailand or Taiwan or whatever and I was looking at it I was like, wow, it is a motherfucking vibe and I don't know like they could be totally like hyping it up. But shit, I want to go clubbing in that you know type of joint and speak to some hot damn Russians and Europeans and shit. Oh man, when you go clubbing, are you more of a social butterfly when you're when you're clubbing, or is it you and your other half just y'all two digging the scene?
Speaker 3:It's a little bit of both. I feel like it's half-half. I feel like I'm more social than he is, but there's parts where we just dance.
Speaker 1:It's not like half-half, so does your other half get? I'm going to say a little jealous when you're like, say, talking and mingling with these other folks, because it's mostly with women.
Speaker 3:Oh, with girls girl, with the girls girl, oh okay.
Speaker 1:Has your girl ever hit on you? Yes, Okay, okay, how is that like? How do you like say, turn that down?
Speaker 3:Oh, I just tell them, like know, I'm gay. Oh, just like that, sis, yeah, but I'm like nice about it oh, yeah, so, and they're like oh my god, I'm so sorry, but this only happens outside of the us yeah I guess because you know men outside the us like they use, actually use makeup and stuff. So maybe that's why I don't know. I don't know, but it has happened oh snap, and these women?
Speaker 1:they're not embarrassed or anything. They don't go. Oh my god, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3:No, no, no, it's definitely not vibe like the same vibe that you would get here everybody's just friendly. That's why I wanted to move oh, okay, okay.
Speaker 1:Do you see yourself moving like anytime soon, or are you trying to get yourself established out here and then dipping out?
Speaker 3:No, I think next year I'm going to try to live in Japan for like three months, because that's the maximum you can live, or you can stay in Japan with your regular passport is three months. So I'm planning to stay there for three months.
Speaker 1:Are you going to try and find a job or are you just going to just live out there and see how it's like?
Speaker 3:Just live out there and see how it's like. Oh nice.
Speaker 1:By yourself? I mean not by yourself, but do you have family out there or anything? Or are you just totally going with you and your partner?
Speaker 3:No, it's just actually going to be by myself Wow.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:But I have friends there in Japan, oh. So I mean, I don't want to rely on them though. You know what I mean.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:I think it's more so like do I want to actually stay here for a long time? Or like buy a house or something there.
Speaker 1:Really Trying to see.
Speaker 3:Yeah, just kind of feel out the energy.
Speaker 1:Yeah, anywhere else in the eastern side of the world that you want to like, say, visit or live in for a couple minutes uh, I thought about the philippines oh, wow because I mean, yeah, I visit philippines and japan like a lot.
Speaker 3:Uh, philippines, it's up and coming, you know, it's like manila, especially manila area. Yeah, it's like it's nice. Actually it's just super busy, um, but I don't mind that I I'm kind of dabbling between the two, but we'll see where like what happens um, your mom is she.
Speaker 1:Would she fly back to the philippines or would she be staying here?
Speaker 3:I feel like she would stay here because, to be honest, the medical or like medical, uh, or the hospitals are just better here oh yeah america, that's like something. So she's older, you know. I mean so she's more concerned about her health I heard japan health system is pretty good.
Speaker 1:Would you? Would you bring her out to japan to live with you for those three months?
Speaker 3:I don't think she would I don't think she would. Yeah, no, she's not. She's not gonna do it and she's like hell, no, yeah oh man, um, what do you do for fun, man?
Speaker 1:if you don't mind me asking like what, what is an interest and hobby of uh?
Speaker 3:breath me, yeah, yeah you um, I don't know, like right now, like this weekend, I'm staying at a hotel. So a staycation, yeah, I think that's it. Eating Food.
Speaker 1:Ain't nothing wrong with that. That's it, oh, okay.
Speaker 3:I just hang out, I just chill, like yeah.
Speaker 1:Like, you don't like rollerblade or anything, or you don't, no, oh really.
Speaker 3:I think the social media part is like taking a lot of what I didn't even have a lot of hobbies to begin with from before. But I didn't even have a lot of hobbies to begin with from before. You know what I mean. So this is my hobby. I guess you could say it's the social media part. Oh, really it's also becoming a job right. So it's kind of like that's what takes up my 5 to 9 after my 9 to 5.
Speaker 1:So you're on your phone a lot, then yeah, like let's say after yeah. Does your partner say anything about that?
Speaker 3:does your partner say anything about that?
Speaker 1:like babe, you're on your phone a lot.
Speaker 3:It's my me time. Oh no, no, no, no, I'm really good at balance.
Speaker 1:So, okay, okay, that's good yeah, it's pretty interesting.
Speaker 3:Yeah, because, and plus um, what do you call?
Speaker 1:yeah, I talk a lot about balance and stuff like on my social media so I I, I think I'm really good at balancing, but who knows, I never really asked him is is he, is he deep in the um, in the content creating too, or is he like off that he just has his friends on the ig and yeah? Okay, that's good yeah, could you uh okay, this might be a, you know, a toughy one could you uh be in a relationship with someone that is doing content creating as well?
Speaker 3:Oh, that's a good question.
Speaker 1:Because both of you, you know, would be on your phones, both of you would be doing your own thing, Like, would there be like some friendly competition, or would it be like, oh, you're taking my shit, or whatnot?
Speaker 3:That's a good question. I mean, I think I could. It just depends what happens after, like how we approach it. Yeah, yeah, I think I could, it just depends it just depends, like I'm like, when I'm thinking of that question, I'm thinking of certain, like people out there yeah and I'm like I don't know, I'm trying to think like how that would be.
Speaker 1:Okay, so let's say, someone like we both know, bretman Rock. Okay, if you was dating a person with Bretman Rock's following and everything and he has to consistently do his thing. You know, to make ends meet. Are you able to be in a relationship with him or not with?
Speaker 3:you know the actual Bretman, but someone Like that, yeah that's a good question or not, with you know the actual bread man, but someone with yeah, yeah, that's a good question.
Speaker 1:Oh hey you know what my, my, my, my, your freaking welcome world.
Speaker 3:You know what I'm going to say right now. I'm going to say yes.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, I'm going to say yes, yeah, that's it nothing going into it, yeah, okay.
Speaker 1:Oh, as for me, um, and uh, people has asked me this, uh, this question too, I think I can too. Um, I don't think 20 year old me, wasn't I, I think I'd be like jealous, like, oh, who you're responding to? But then, older me, now it's like oh, I'm responding to you know this person, because you know it's like it's an engagement yeah, right yes, and then with the whole um like like, say, going into dms or whatever. I understand that that's how people like get the requests in oh yeah, you know, because that's how I did it with you.
Speaker 1:And then there's again. Then there's people with uh, you know, with the emails too, I've been doing the email thing uh secret copy and paste. You know I change the word here there, but chat gpt, you are the one you know chat gpt, yeah all right, yeah, so yeah, I think, um, now I can, but back in the day I don't think I would, I don't think I would totally understand.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that world, you know yeah, yeah, that's why I think. That's why it was kind of hard for me to answer, because I was thinking like right now I'm in this stage where I'm learning a lot from my old self and applying it now. So I'm like that's why I'm like, yeah, I think I can.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Because, just like you, my younger self probably would.
Speaker 1:Yeah, how naive we were.
Speaker 2:Like oh my gosh, and how naive we were.
Speaker 1:Like oh my gosh. So you and I were both in Hawaii Creators.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, how did you get into it? If you don't mind me, you know, like put it out there. How did you get into it? Because me it was just like I just threw my shot and they're like, hey, okay, come on in.
Speaker 3:Oh, I feel like it was Coach Darren that asked me. I think he DM'd me, telling me like what this is all about, what are the benefits, what they do. So I was like, oh, this is cool. And I was like, yeah, sure, I'll come in.
Speaker 1:Oh, like that, yeah, yeah, yeah. Has any of your things you know your content ever like say, did they ever message you? And say, hey, that shit is inappropriate.
Speaker 3:Please stop sending us these things. Oh, who hoi creators?
Speaker 1:yeah, no you lucky bastard. No, hey, they be on my ass when I'm swearing. That's why I think you know what I think it is, or like just the? Um, what I'm putting out there is just not, I guess not, uh, hc content friendly. Oh, I see I'm like oh god, but you know it's, it's just out there, it's a good topic yeah like it might I have to call myself done, because I'd be mad as shit.
Speaker 1:You know, I'm like what the fuck? Like I think it's cool, but y'all don't think, man. And then I'd be seeing other people posting like something very similar to the same thing and I'm like, oh, come on, dude. Oh well, it's okay. You know, it's all good, but the way I joined HC was Gavin Kampai.
Speaker 3:Oh, uh-huh.
Speaker 1:He was just like hey, man, just fucking do it. And I was like do what? And he was just like hey, man, just fucking do it. And I was like, do what? And he's like, hey, just, you know, throw in an application. And I was like, bet, you know, mind the fuck. Like, because this is when I started this. Oh, you know like I've been with them like ever since. Yeah, like I met some of the folks there you know pretty cool, yeah, you know pretty cool folks. Um, they did ask me, uh, like, oh, are you hawaiian or whatever? Because the talk right, and it's like totally different from you know, I guess, the way they speak. So it's just, yeah, there's like I'm not going to say a language barrier, but they do know that I cuss a lot and I'm just like, oh, man, I'm sorry, I'm trying, but man, I just I can't help it.
Speaker 3:I used to cuss a lot too in my videos. I can't help it. I used to cuss a lot, too in my videos. And then yeah, and then I was like uh, Not as friendly, huh. No, I wasn't getting checks, so, oh you, I gotta stop swearing, oh man.
Speaker 1:Hey, if they ever check you, man, let me know so I can be like man. See, I'm not the only motherfucker that don't like say you know on tiktok and ig, like how did that?
Speaker 3:snowball to where you're at now. Oh so, tiktok, I I think the shoot. What video was it? Oh it was the like hawaii math video, because there was this trend going around about like girl math so I did, like a whole of a math, a take on it yeah and that's kind of like what blew me up both on tiktok and instagram oh, really yeah yeah, there was videos before that yeah that were like gaining track that gained traction, but that I think that was the one that like put me really put me out there, yeah dude that story.
Speaker 1:I like it because you you had videos prior to that right Content prior to that, but it took one for you to get you know that traction right. Yes. So that's dude. Everyone, just keep on doing your shit you know, yes, yeah. And then can you tell me this whole niche thing? So I'm getting people are telling me like, oh, find your niche, find your niche. And I'm like dude, I don't want to find my shit because I still want to do these other avenues.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:You know, so can you explain that?
Speaker 3:Yeah, for me. I don't. Me personally, I don't believe in a niche. I feel like you should. You should become the niche.
Speaker 2:Uh-huh.
Speaker 3:Because people nowadays, people human interaction, whether we know it or not, um, because we have so much technology. So the more that you're able to connect with people on a really personal level through your videos and your content, I think the better. And that means not a niche, because when you look, when you meet somebody, they're not just like one, like she's not just a barbie, and I mean she, she's an array of everything. She has all these emotions. People have emotions, so become the niche, like, just be who you are, I think, and just do that. But people are like, oh, it's scary, because people are free to be judged, right, um, so people, usually what happens? A lot of people pick a niche, um, and they just focus on that because it's doing good, right, but your audience won't really know who you are if you just stick on, stick on that one particular topic.
Speaker 1:Yes, I feel you. I feel you Like the transparency of it all.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but it really depends, right? If you want that, if you just want that, then that's fine.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:But if you want to just be able to be yourself, then you got to be your actual self, you know, yeah I mean that's like that's the best, because being your actual self yeah, it's you're not faking the fun you know, and watching your videos, I'm like, oh, I know who I'm getting on. You know I'm saying, yeah, I know what made you start um, like your own pot, like what? What was going through your mindset when you wanted to start your own pod?
Speaker 3:My podcast. Yeah, oh, okay.
Speaker 2:She's like oh, I forgot, I had one.
Speaker 3:No, yeah, because I just did my first one last week and I'm kind of learning how to make it better. But the reason why I wanted to start is because I talk a lot in my stories and I do like ask Brev once in a great while where people just ask me anything and I kind of wanted to like.
Speaker 3:I love doing that, but I knew it was too much to put like just on my Instagram stories yes so I was like, let me do like a podcast where people can get to know more about me and be on a personal level, be more closer on a personal level.
Speaker 1:Yeah oh, prior to this podcast and you starting one, have you ever been on, been on one?
Speaker 3:Mmm, I've been on a radio podcast, but that's about it.
Speaker 1:Oh really, yeah, but just you know A Joe Schmo podcast. This is your first.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:I'll be happy to pop that cherry. Yeah, oh, I'm popping that cherry boy. Oh man, that's funny, that's so funny. Uh, you went to college out here. Yeah, I'm assuming uh no you're fucked at high school?
Speaker 3:no, I went to college for one semester and then I dropped out so that one semester you learned all this marketing thing.
Speaker 1:Uh, marketing thing.
Speaker 3:Oh no, no marketing. I only learned like back in 2023 uh-huh yeah, um, but in college I went to college for one semester for fashion, um, and then I took a full-time position at my old job and they were like, oh, you need to be full-time. So I was like, oh, this is like a good amount of money let me just quit school.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, yeah, do you see yourself going back to school?
Speaker 3:uh, I did I actually. Oh hello. So yeah, I actually went back to school. I did, I actually went back to school. I got my associates in business, really yeah.
Speaker 1:Okay, you and I were talking about marketing earlier, this marketing thing that you did to grow your let's say to grow you yeah, what was it? Or is that a secret that you can't be saying out loud?
Speaker 3:No, okay, what was?
Speaker 1:the marketing technique, yeah, for people that wanna well. So, essentially, like I love to, doom scroll what you want to what I love to doom scroll. What's doom scrolling like just just scroll all day? Oh, I learned something okay.
Speaker 3:So I found that about. I found that out about myself like long time ago, right with tick tock and instagram and reels and stuff. So I was like what can I do instead of like doom scrolling? So I like wanted to know how are these videos so effective? Cause I'm a geek sometimes so I was like how are these videos Like? How does it get like this much likes and this much comments Like, so there must be something.
Speaker 3:So I took a marketing class and then yeah but I would say, like it's just starting and being yourself, like I think a lot of people get caught up on, like the editing, how it looks like, how it has to sound, like high quality. Just start posting.
Speaker 1:You know what I mean? Really, that's the secret Just post, post, post, just post like consistently. Oh.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I try to post every single day.
Speaker 2:If I don't then I post more of my stories, like if I can't post a video, Interesting Every single.
Speaker 3:I haven't missed one day where I didn't post one video or one story.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so like just Wow yeah.
Speaker 3:And you know, right now there's so much competition, I guess you could call it or a lot of other people who are trying to go on social media.
Speaker 1:Peers.
Speaker 3:Peers to go on social media, peers, peers. There's a lot um and you know, if your goal is to like go, go, really, really, really huge and big you're, you're fighting those people, just being honest, you know. I mean, if that's your goal, because it's like a, if you want to treat it like a business, then you got to treat it like a business, yeah, yeah and there's a lot of things these colleges don't tell you about business.
Speaker 3:I I mean sorry, so I feel like it's the same energy if that's your goal. Social media yeah.
Speaker 1:Wow.
Speaker 3:Yeah. Really good words oh my, I can go off girl.
Speaker 1:Go off, yes. Clubs in Hawaii. What do you dislike about these clubs in Hawaii?
Speaker 3:I think my video spoke for itself about how a lot of them play like edm music which is don't get me wrong, I used to love to go to raves in high school, sorry, yeah, I used to love to go to raves like in high school and like a little bit after high school. But I love like early 2000s, like club music, like 50 cent, little wayne pitbull, everybody yeah like.
Speaker 3:I like to like freak and like twerk, whatever you want to call it, you know, just like dance. Uh, the edm is too much. It's too much sometimes oh, majority of the clubs here do play it, but there's some that play really good music, yeah that's what's up um.
Speaker 1:I've been to uh district okay, and I'm like, I'm not a big club guy yeah so because district has that video game plays, you know, on the other side, yeah, yeah, I'm stuck there, I'm drinking my shit and I'm stuck because I go with my friends. You know you'll never catch me yeah going by myself, yeah, or whatnot. Um, I've been to to eve. He was pretty cool eve, oh even alamana yeah, like uh, my girl nohea invited me to go out oh that was pretty cool yeah, yeah and then there's this other one um, not district valor, or something oh, valor is not a it's not a club.
Speaker 1:Yeah, people tell me to goor, but it's, how can I say this? I heard it gets super crowded.
Speaker 3:Yeah and I hate shit like that. Yeah, it gets lit in there and it's weird because you're in a food court.
Speaker 2:Yeah right.
Speaker 3:I'm like go for it go for it.
Speaker 1:Um, when you're like, say you and your partner are out and let's say man or woman comes up to you know both y'all or one of y'all and says, hey, let's have a drink together, and you say no, do you? Can these women take no for an answer or have that? Has that ever happened to you? Like what? No, no.

Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:It also. I see more people in person that notice uh um, but yeah, I feel like in the past few months it's been more, more common is it?
Speaker 1:is it? Does your partner find it weird that people are staring at you?
Speaker 3:because I still find it weird. Oh really, I'm like, I'm not used to this yeah, how do you?
Speaker 1:how do you handle that, like as a, you know, as a person, like yeah, are you? Brev or can I take a picture with you? Yeah, like, how, yeah, how do you handle that? Like you know as a person, like, are you brave?
Speaker 3:or can I take a picture with you?
Speaker 1:Yeah, Like yeah, how do you handle that?
Speaker 3:So I just say, yeah, sure, but the thing is like I am more shy in person than I am on camera, like I'm definitely a lot more comfortable on camera.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 3:Or like in one-on-ones like this to get back to my car yeah. Or, like you know, just doing what I need to do out there, and I forget that I am even on social media sometimes, and then some people say hello and I'm like hello oh. Oh wait, oh my God, Dog bitch. They're like sorry yeah. And they're like oh, are you Brad? I'm like oh my god, did I come off as rude?
Speaker 1:yeah, like, like you have an rbf or something like just man, my mission is going to the car.

Speaker 1:Wow, that's crazy. Yeah, oh my gosh. So recently, um, this past week, I had, uh, I was doing this, uh I was doing this exercise with the military and I was working with folks from Maui, and then so some of these folks I've never met, but one of them was like hey, are you that dude?
Speaker 2:I'm like dude there's a lot of dudes.

Speaker 3:Oh, I was just working.
Speaker 1:Oh girl I was working and recovering Recovering. Were you sick.
Speaker 3:No, no, no, I was just partying a lot last weekend.
Speaker 1:Last weekend.
Speaker 3:Yeah, because it was my birthday it was my actual birthday, and then like I usually celebrate the whole month every weekend, so like, yeah, so I was just kind of working, just recovering doing videos grocery shopping.
Speaker 1:Oh, I bet what's your drink of choice. A tequila soda. Tequila soda. What the fuck is it? Okay, what's the soda? What's the?
Speaker 3:Oh, just club soda, like water club soda.
Speaker 1:Oh Like sparkling water. That's good together.
Speaker 3:Yeah Well, I just love the taste of tequila.
Speaker 1:Okay, okay.
Speaker 3:With like a lime, and then it's because water, if you mix like sugar and alcohol, that's what makes you hungover or contributes to a stronger hangover. I guess you could say Really so I just drink water a lot when I'm drinking.
Speaker 1:You're not the only person that said that, because I do have a friend in the guard. She drinks tequila and she chases it with water. I'm like that's freaking weird, you know, when I first heard of it. And now you're saying that, oh it's, you don't get the hangover tomorrow. And I'm like, holy crap, I'm learning something yeah, tequila is the only alcohol.
Speaker 3:I think is the only type of liquor that is derived from agave yeah not a grain. So green turns turns into sugar or glucose. So that's why beers, and usually browns, make you hungover. When I drink tequila, I don't get hungover.
Speaker 1:I just learned something again. Yeah, it's great. What the hell See, I'm a big Hennessy drinker.
Speaker 3:Oh, okay, yeah, I love tequila and Hennessy.
Speaker 1:I don't discriminate, but so what's your favorite tequila? Have you ever tried the? What's it called, the Casse Azul?
Speaker 3:Am I saying it right, casse?
Speaker 1:Azul, yeah, the one with the bell.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's not my favorite.
Speaker 1:It's not, it's not Okay, so the hype is not real then, because I've always wanted to try it.
Speaker 3:No, yeah, my favorite is like a resposado.
Speaker 1:Resposado okay.
Speaker 3:Resposado is like the browner the brown.
Speaker 1:Is that the one with the worm in it? They usually have the worm in it. Oh, no, no, no, no, oh okay.
Speaker 3:It's like a strain. I think of tequila.
Speaker 2:Uh-huh.
Speaker 3:So I like resposado, or I love Don Julio Blanco.
Speaker 1:Don Julio, okay, yeah, is it, or is it just straight up?
Speaker 3:I like it If I'm taking shots of it. I like it chilled, Okay yeah.
Speaker 1:Have you ever had warm tequila?
Speaker 3:Yeah, of course, or warm oh duh right Stupid, we had all of it.
Speaker 1:Oh, my goodness, yeah, I've had, we'll say, warm liquor. My gosh, my stomach couldn't handle it. I was like, oh God.
Speaker 3:Oh gosh, I am straight. Yeah, you definitely need to eat before if you're going to be drinking warm liquor?
Speaker 1:Hell yeah, what do you do afterwards? Like is there like a go-to spot after a night out of drinking? Where does Brev go to afterwards?
Speaker 3:7-Eleven no, if it's a Friday, I go to like Kay's Bento in Waipahu.
Speaker 1:Is that 24 hours, or is that open till super late?
