Haters Gone Hate!

Most importantly, we focus on the internal drive—the discipline, vision, and self-belief—that keeps you moving forward regardless of who’s clapping for you. If you’ve ever felt discouraged by a lack of support or weighed down by negativity, this episode is a reminder that your path doesn’t require approval—just persistence.

Man, had the little hoes out there, man. Half dressed, I guess, bruh. But we we had a big ass week, bruh. Yeah, man. Hell of a week. It was jam-packed, man. Amazing week. Jam-packed, bro. Things, things going with the pod like great lately, man. Like, you know, we don't have a ton of followers and shit like that, but it's it's going really good. It's building, man. We're taking our time with it, man. Yeah, bro. Whatever's was whatever's happens, gonna happen. Exactly, bro. I think I think we're going about it the best way, too. Like, we not constantly checking views. We not constantly checking out. Exactly. We having fun, bruh. But that's the best part. Some of the shit, you know what I'm saying, that we did this past week, bro. We had um That was legendary, though. Bro, legendary, bro. The first joint was the meet and greet with the boys. Um, we had a meet and greet with the Washington Wizards. Um, which I mean, this is our second, third time doing this shit, so it's nothing new, but uh it's always great when you get to get in those rooms, man. Like when you get to get in those rooms with, you know, multimillionaires and things like that, and be able to see how they live, talk the, you know, talk the way they talk, you know, hang out with them, you know what I'm saying, see the way they feel, man. It's a different vibe, bro. And it's all about that's what it's about. I'll be feeling out of place, but they they all everybody that'll be around, they be accepted, you know. Yeah, I don't think they show love. But you you handle yourself well though, bro. Like you handle yourself very well when we in those rooms, man. It's like I appreciate the craziest thing, and this is what most people are not gonna understand until they're in those type of situations, in those rooms. The actual rich motherfuckers, the ones that are very wealthy, they're more accepting than your average broke motherfucker around for us, bro. Than you, than your than your own friends. Then your own friends. I'm gonna say this. I won't go on record because this one I this particular pod, man, I just wanna I want this to be kind of like a motivational, you know what I'm saying, a motivational podcast, man. To kind of give people some some some gang, you know, some game, man. You know what I'm saying, and how to handle themselves and shit, bro. But I'm gonna say, first of all, shout out to to uh to Josephine and Francisco, man. I met them a couple years back, and I wanna say that they are some of the most supportive people. And I, you know what I'm saying? I was talking to her last week a little bit, and she was telling me how proud she is and how you know how happy that she is that I'm just you know still going and just seeing the support from people that I just met a couple years ago and not getting that level of respect and that level of you know praise from people that I've known my whole life is kind of crazy. And it's like that's why I say like bro some of your friends and family be your worst enemies. Bro, and and I think that's that's my only issue with this area. I think people only want to be happy for you when they want to be happy for you to the level of which they are, if that makes sense. They just want you to be a they want to be they want you to be successful and they want you to be good and happy, but they just want you to be right under them. Right, see they just just right under them just a little exactly just just if if if you're not if if you're 99, you know, so they want to be a hundred. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? They want to be just one point above you in every category. And I don't think that shit like you you don't make it in shit like that, bro. You don't make it that way in life. It and gatekeeping don't get you nowhere. I always love to see a nigga get married. Exactly, bro. I always love to see a nigga get married. And that's why I see level. That's why I don't look at the analytics like that, you know what I'm saying, on on you know my business page. I don't look at the views, I don't look at none of that. Because when I do see it, all of my love is coming from people that I don't even know, that I don't even follow, that don't even follow me. I just happen to pop up and they show you appreciation or they like your content. Meanwhile, I'll see a ton of motherfuckers in my views from right around here. And they don't hit that like button. And I learned to stop looking at shit like that because I know that I know the area. Your biggest success and your biggest supporters are not gonna come from your friends and family and stuff like that. And it's like it's a common misconception because I know you get that saying, uh, what they say, uh, he think he all that. No, bro, I don't think I'm all that. You think I'm all that. You think I'm all that because you see you see me. I used to say that shit all the time. Bro, you see me doing things that you want to do or you wish you could do, but you don't have the guts to be who you want. You don't have the guts to step out there and do the things that you want and be who you want. So you like to point the finger and say, man, dude, thank he all that. No, bro. I I'm just walking down the street. I'm just enjoying, I'm just taking everything that comes comes to me. Enjoying life, bro. Enjoying life. I'm just accepting it. Exactly. That's like, let's say we see we see a random dude online, right? Let's say he he sit on his car, like sit on the hood of his car, take a quick little picture in his Honda or something. Motherfuckers like his picture, you know what I'm saying? Oh, dude, you know what I'm saying? He's chilling, he's chilling on his on his car, whatever. I can go take that same picture, do the same thing, but because I'm chilling on on a AMG edition one Mercedes-Benz, oh that nigga think he all that. Just because they ain't got I did the same thing cuz did, but the difference is You know why? Because he out there, he out there sitting on that Honda, and they like, oh, he's sitting on that Honda. I got that same Honda out in the driveway. Yep. They see you sitting on that motherfucking AMG, they like, damn, this this nigga, this nigga think he is sitting on that nice ass car. Yeah. You hating ass motherfuckers. That's what I'm saying, bro. The way that this game is, like it, and that's what I had to teach myself, bro. The game is rigged. You can't look from the people that should support you the most. And I think that's kind of what, because I know you do the same shit that I do, bro. Like, that same support and love that we show people, we don't never get that shit back. We don't get that same love in response, but when we learn by a very few, if so. Yeah, it's it's a handful of people. And shout out to the people that that like our shit, that show us love. Not even just the pod, just in general, and yeah, not talking about the pod. We just talk about the people. People that actually know us. Yeah, man, shout out to y'all that that show the love, bro, because it's a lot that don't. And we see all of that. Don't think that we don't pay attention, you know what I'm saying? But I say all that just to say, bro, being in some of these rooms, like being in the rooms that we were over the weekend and networking with with high-end individuals, with very influential people. Meaning crazy, a great, amazing human being. Yeah, being in those rooms and getting love and support from them, bro. I promise you, we don't give a damn if we not getting it from your average Joe, average Joes around town. You know what I'm saying? Because success doesn't come from your hometown, it doesn't come from your friends and family. So that's all I'm saying is just like, bro, whatever you want to do, whatever you're trying to do, whether it's an influencer, whether it's a podcaster, if you want to be a movie star, if you want to be a singer, songwriter, whatever, do not get discouraged because your hometown or your friends aren't supporting your craft the way they should do. Because when you put yourself out there and you grow your network, your success and your your following is gonna come from people that you don't even know, bruh. That's the crazy part. Motherfucker in Nebraska somewhere. Exactly, showing love. But I don't I don't wanna I don't wanna you know stay on that topic too long, but because we had an exciting week, bro. We had so much stuff going on, man. And um fun time, bro. The game. Let's talk about the game, last week's game, bro. The game was crazy. The game was crazy. It was the last home game, man.
