You part. You got to line it up. No, you are. I already did. I forget the energy tone.
What's up, brother? So, dude, I'm hanging out. We just flew in. Awesome to be here. The facility is... Thank you, brother. I've seen pictures of it. DJ just gave me a tour. It was unreal. It's cool.
It's all right. I mean, it's all right. It's all right. It's all right.
That's what we said in the gym. We're like, it's not a bad place to work out. It's better than a sharp stick in the eye.
It's all right.
Yeah, I think it was through DMs and cars. We both got a huge passion for cars. So I've been following Andy. I've actually been listening to the show since like 2016, back when it was MFCEO Project. So it's awesome to see how the show has transformed over the years. And then to become a listener of the show to then being on the show is awesome.
Yeah. Yeah. So pretty much, uh, I started. So for those of you that don't know me, um, I make YouTube videos. Um, if you're watching this and you have kids probably ask them if they know unspeakable that your kids probably know me, not in a weird way. Yeah. Our demographic is younger. Um, tons of kids watch our show. Uh, I've been doing it since 2012. So I started in October of 2012.
That's when I was, I graduated high school in 2016. So I started when I was like in middle school, going into freshman year of high school and pretty much just started by playing video games in my room. Um, I started with a game of Minecraft. It was my favorite game at the time. I love playing it with my friends, just grinding out hundreds and hundreds of videos. Um,
Over time, so I'll speed up the story a little bit, but it took me- No, bro, we're not in a rush.
I want to hear it. But it was a ton. I mean, it was just a grind learning everything, dude. I didn't know how to edit a video, film a video. My personality, if you go back to some of my first videos, I was so incredibly shy about Um, I was a very shy kid in school and that was a belief that I had to break because I was like, man, how's a YouTuber kid going to be a shy kid, right?
Like I got to entertain an audience if I want to be a YouTuber, but it was kind of this thing that when I started YouTube, I was interested in it. I was curious about it. Um, but I wasn't, I didn't have a huge like passion for it.
Over time, as I made more and more videos, my passion grew and developed with it because I'm a big believer in like, you don't really know that you love to do something until you do it for maybe a couple of years. So that's what I discovered a couple of years down the line. I started to grow. It turned into an obsession pretty much.
So about three years in, I'm still struggling, still trying to find a viral video, still posting videos. I think my first year on YouTube, I posted 143 videos. My second year on YouTube, I posted like 220 videos. By year three, I was pretty much doing videos every single day, posting one video every single day. And these are all long form videos.
I know today people have shorts, Instagram reels, TikToks. These are all like 10, 15, 20 minute videos, edited stories.
a lot of work you're doing it yourself doing all of it myself i was still in school too that's a ton of work yeah still in school so i remember i remember there's days where i would like come home from school you know three or four o'clock i would just work on videos till one two o'clock in the morning i had to wake up at 6 30 because i ran cross country in the morning um it was going brutal brutal first couple periods in school i would always sleep because i was just so so tired
And the, and the, and the teachers, like I told the teachers what I did. I was like, I was like, I worked last night for eight hours. Like I just need, I just need a 30 minute nap. And they're like, yeah, you're good. My teachers were, were super nice, but that's cool.
Yeah, so it took me, so for my first video to go viral, I consider a viral video a million views. Everyone looks at viral videos differently, but my first video to hit a million views, it took me 574 tries. Dang. So 574 uploads. It was about three and a half, almost four years in the process. But after I got my first video to go viral, the second one came very quickly, like a month or two after.
And then the third and then the fourth. And that's when I learned about... That's when I started to learn about the power of momentum. Because... It was just compounding at that point. Yeah. Compounding like crazy. I mean, growing anything in business and life is just... There's so much momentum behind it that people don't understand. But it took me...
I think it was about five and a half years to get to a million subscribers. And when I hit a million subscribers, I actually graduated high school, which was cool. So moved out, bought a house, never went to college, never had a job. That's fucking straight, straight to YouTube.
Yeah, pretty much. But it didn't get easier from there. Yeah, definitely got a lot harder because a lot of people think like, oh, once you get to a certain place, you know, because I thought this, I always thought like, oh, once I get to a million subscribers, things will be easier because then I'll have an audience of people to entertain.
