WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:09.800 There's a super doobie, yeah. Rolled one up, right, it's fucking long man, like a couple 00:09.800 --> 00:15.160 of days ago, it's fucking long. So I'm not really sure about the camera, I'm going to, 00:15.380 --> 00:22.040 if I go too close, like this, you'll just see the top half of my body, 00:22.580 --> 00:29.000 like a Lego fucking figure, you know, from the Lego toys. But if I go too far, 00:29.480 --> 00:31.800 my head's small, what can I do? 00:35.840 --> 00:39.420 So, if you've got one sparking up on my way, looking at me even like I owe you shit, 00:44.770 --> 00:50.550 short and sweet one today, tonight. It's been a tiring couple of days at work, 00:51.610 --> 00:58.230 especially with the festivities, we had Mother's Day, and then we've got St. Paddy's Day, 00:58.630 --> 01:02.890 which is today. Shit, that means I've got to drink Guinness, yeah. I'm gonna get your fucking 01:02.890 --> 01:08.990 drug today, man, I don't want to go far no more, anyway. So I'm gonna really hex a couple of weeks. 01:13.870 --> 01:17.770 Well, I figured I just wanted to find time to kind of sit down and talk to you guys, 01:17.810 --> 01:24.870 I'm drinking some tea, man. This is pine needle with nettles, with 01:29.030 --> 01:35.100 Yaro. Yaro is the, supposedly, legend has it, 01:39.370 --> 01:43.770 that when Confucius died, his grave slightly grow in these, 01:45.570 --> 01:53.550 kind of like grass called Yaro, and they use it for the Yi, the Ai Qing to do the Yaro 01:53.550 --> 02:01.970 stop method to do the hexagrams, but you know, basically green tea, i-vitamin C green tea. 02:09.110 --> 02:15.470 Your Blurt channel or your Blurt page on Blurt blog or Blurt media, 02:18.050 --> 02:25.050 and with the new addition of Twiggy Lact, I don't know how to call it, Blurt Twiggy, 02:25.050 --> 02:31.370 Blurt Twigs, Blurt Shorts, I don't know what to call it, basically Twiggy is cool, man. 02:34.470 --> 02:40.890 Your Blurt pages has the potential to be a resume. 02:42.770 --> 02:48.870 A lot of, a lot of you don't know how to think like entrepreneurs. A lot of you don't know how 02:48.870 --> 02:53.690 to think like artists. Your man Braves Maltier the fuck can tell you, from his perspective, 02:53.690 --> 03:02.070 how to go about things. Now just as a side note, when I was 15 years old, I ran away from home 03:02.750 --> 03:10.250 and in my darkest hours as a kid, I came to learn card tricks after watching David Blaine's 03:10.250 --> 03:17.390 Street Magic TV special, which you know, like it, like in the 90s or something like that. 03:19.090 --> 03:25.390 But I watched it when it was in 2005, that was when I was 15, right away from home, you know. 03:27.130 --> 03:29.450 And I started to learn card tricks. 03:32.430 --> 03:39.870 Unbeknownst to me, it was more than just learning card tricks. And then fast forward 18 years, 03:40.310 --> 03:45.730 I found myself a semi-professional. I say semi because, you know, I don't, 03:45.730 --> 03:49.790 I didn't want, I didn't like to turn my passion into like a job, you know. 03:50.470 --> 03:53.010 So I always kept it like half and half, you know what I mean, dude? 03:53.730 --> 03:57.590 So I need you to keep the art, the love for your art alive, you know. 04:00.650 --> 04:01.850 So throughout my 04:05.070 --> 04:11.770 almost two decades of being a sleight of hand artist, stage performer, 04:13.410 --> 04:17.590 storyteller and just, just to do it with a loud mouth, you know. 04:18.850 --> 04:25.410 I've come to learn that whatever we do, if only we can just change our thinking, 04:25.590 --> 04:30.410 change our perception and see the world first and foremost. Well, actually, no, let's rewind 04:30.410 --> 04:38.170 back. We need to first go through our own hero's journey. If you've never read Joseph Campbell's, 04:39.170 --> 04:44.530 what's that book now called? Hero of a Thousand Faces, right? That's a good book, right? 04:45.450 --> 04:47.610 Not a very good book. It's fucking weird. 04:49.930 --> 04:57.890 If you've never read that book, Hero of a Thousand Faces, great book man. Star Wars was 04:57.890 --> 05:05.110 based off that, you know, monolith formula for the hero, you know, that circular, you know. 05:06.250 --> 05:11.570 We all need to go through our own hero's journey. If 05:15.710 --> 05:26.270 you wanted to set yourself up in an artistic way, or you wanted to turn what you do as a hobby, 05:26.950 --> 05:31.170 because it starts out as a recreational hobby, like everything fucking does, you know. 05:35.430 --> 05:39.530 If you want to make something out of your recreational hobby, you want to turn it into 05:39.530 --> 05:42.570 a lifestyle, you want to make it into something that you live for, 05:43.970 --> 05:47.450 then you're really going to take what you do seriously. You're going to take 05:47.990 --> 05:53.270 what you do as if it's the most important thing to you in the world. 05:54.590 --> 06:02.990 You might be, I'm talking about people on Blert who do consistent style 06:04.250 --> 06:11.170 content like Baski, but for example, Baski from Hive coming over to Blert, you know, I think he or 06:11.170 --> 06:15.730 she's from Ukraine, I do believe, or Ukrainian, I could be wrong, I'm not sure, you know. 06:17.570 --> 06:23.010 You see Baski coming out with all these photos and they, he or she, I don't know if it's a 06:23.010 --> 06:30.470 he or she, you know, this is calling my dude. My guy puts out very good content. Every single 06:30.470 --> 06:38.270 piece of photo blogs that he makes, just read their blogs, you know, provocative thoughts 06:38.270 --> 06:40.950 accompanied with some very good photography, right. 06:44.310 --> 06:50.530 That's very artistic from the get go. Baski comes out with motherfucking class, you know, 06:50.970 --> 06:55.930 motherfucking class here, that's what I mean, you know, style. You got run the roof, 06:56.490 --> 07:03.750 you got jumpy coming out man with class. Shout out to you guys around, one from London and the 07:03.750 --> 07:13.720 other one of things in the America, like run, running in America from Canada. And then as I 07:13.720 --> 07:21.460 observed recently, OG Off-Grid Live comes out with some badass fucking paintings, poor drawings, 07:21.820 --> 07:27.560 illustrations on some NFT, nasty fungi told on our website where he sells it, you know, 07:27.560 --> 07:31.980 big numbers. I don't know. When I see numbers, I go crazy. I don't really understand it. So I just 07:35.560 --> 07:38.440 sit back, relax, you know, sit back and just observe. 07:41.440 --> 07:46.420 You got Amatorasu Sola, ma'am. How do you do? How do you do? From the get go, man, 07:46.500 --> 07:54.440 when I found her out on Odyssey back in 2021, 2021, she's been going out, 07:55.120 --> 08:01.180 what she does for years. And she's never stopped, her quality has never gone down. She's always 08:01.180 --> 08:13.640 maintained integrity in terms of her work, in terms of her work. And this is the work 08:14.280 --> 08:23.140 and that these people are engaging. And I use the word work, not in a slave mercenary sense, 08:23.140 --> 08:32.460 but your life work, your blurt page has the potential to be like that. 08:33.380 --> 08:40.920 It took me a long time and being guided by very good mentors until I learned this 08:41.600 --> 08:49.980 and to do what I do with pinpoint precision and critical kind of like ruthless action. 08:54.100 --> 09:00.020 You've got to enjoy chess as well, but I think in terms like these. And once you do, 09:00.560 --> 09:07.880 you switch your observation first and foremost of yourself. You are more than who you are. 09:08.280 --> 09:13.160 You are more than what you are. You coming on to blurt, I mean, some people might just 09:13.160 --> 09:19.240 want to, you know, like post things and, you know, like just do social, that's all right 09:19.240 --> 09:24.920 to you. That's all here to you. But for the people that are trying to make something out of 09:24.920 --> 09:32.300 themselves, you've got to be consistent. Your quality has got to be consistent. You've got to 09:33.620 --> 09:40.700 maintain a narrative, a theme. First and foremost, if you're trying to make some 09:40.700 --> 09:46.900 entrepreneurial kind of like headway or breakthrough in your blurt things, 09:46.900 --> 09:54.060 you know, first and foremost, who are you? And why should I care? If you can answer these two 09:54.060 --> 10:02.340 questions, you're good to go. You know, some of the peeps already have what they, because 10:02.340 --> 10:08.920 they're natural to themselves, you know, the refinement of natural instincts, you know, 10:08.920 --> 10:15.540 Wong-Ham-Tai, Marshall Rasmus, they, you know, always spoke about this, the refinement 10:16.140 --> 10:21.300 of one's natural instincts, not inclinations. That's different. Inclinations is like, oh, 10:21.320 --> 10:25.320 yeah, well, I like to do fucking what I feel like doing today. Well, I don't feel like, no man, 10:26.160 --> 10:28.800 you have instincts. Who are you? All right, you come on to the blurt 10:29.960 --> 10:35.580 because you got some shit to say. So then say it, say it with your fucking chest, 10:35.580 --> 10:43.060 you know what I mean? And do it uniquely, you know. Now, that's a difficult one because 10:43.560 --> 10:49.780 originality is, it doesn't exist, but to be you, that's the hardest thing to do, right? 10:50.820 --> 10:56.120 But if you tap into that space, it's like an ocean that just keeps on fucking flowing through 10:56.120 --> 11:02.280 you. You won't stop. Your expression won't stop. What is your expression? You know, 11:02.780 --> 11:10.080 take the people that I mentioned just beforehand, hornet on tall, and just a few other ones, 11:10.180 --> 11:14.460 I can't remember right now. I'm going to be fucked up from work that is, right? 11:17.040 --> 11:19.740 Look at these people and try to learn from them. 11:22.260 --> 11:27.660 Maybe you have dreams of becoming a writer. Maybe you want to publish a book 11:27.660 --> 11:30.400 on any subject that you wish that you love. 11:32.400 --> 11:39.920 Well, if karma is, if cause and effect is real in spirituality, it is also real in what we do. 11:40.400 --> 11:47.300 Cause and effect, reverse engineer. You want the effect, you want the result of, let's say, 11:47.480 --> 11:51.420 you want to publish a book or something like that. Well, then you've got to reverse engineer that, 11:51.660 --> 11:58.140 learn how to publish, how to format a book, learn how to create a book or design a book, 11:58.140 --> 12:03.320 learn how to write a book, learn how to write blog posts, learn how to retain audiences, 12:03.660 --> 12:08.120 learn how to get new audiences, expand yourself. Don't just stay on Blurt, man. There's so many 12:08.120 --> 12:12.420 good places out there. The Fediverse is fucking amazing, man. You like Michael Brog... Michael 12:12.420 --> 12:17.660 Broggin. You like Michael Broggin on Blurt. Dude, you got loads, man. You got like, 12:17.660 --> 12:23.540 freaking Fediverse offers you an abundance of flavours. You know what I mean? 12:25.060 --> 12:27.700 Speaking about flavour, you've got a one spot one. 12:29.740 --> 12:31.060 It's pretty on you tonight. 12:34.340 --> 12:47.830 Well, then expand yourself into the Fediverse realms, you know, making new accounts. 12:48.350 --> 12:51.250 Maybe I'll do a video on the different peer-to-peer instances that I'm on. 12:51.250 --> 12:57.010 Yeah, I might call it skirting the Fediverse. That sounds cool. Skirting the Fediverse. Yeah, 12:57.610 --> 13:07.050 skirting the Fediverse. Anyway, expand yourself, not just on different platforms, 13:07.270 --> 13:14.750 but make yourself known. Start a blog, start a blog outside of Blurt. Take your audiences 13:16.090 --> 13:22.370 to a more quieter place, which is your WordPress website or just your free WordPress blog. 13:22.750 --> 13:28.210 Just start blogging. Croms, Croms made it easy for us. You know, my man's got this 13:29.890 --> 13:35.950 publisher plugin. Absolutely amazing. You start blogging on your website. You install 13:35.950 --> 13:40.770 the plugin. You get to set like, oh, do you want to post once a day, twice a day, once a week, 13:40.770 --> 13:47.490 once every two weeks, once a month? Yeah, man. So it's great. So basically, by blogging on your 13:47.490 --> 13:56.770 website, you're creating your space with Croms plugin. It automatically posts to Blurt blog 13:56.770 --> 14:00.270 under your username and then your hashtags that you want, you know, your sports talks, 14:00.270 --> 14:05.460 TRIPOB, Leo fucking SPT for whatever, man. You know me? 14:07.810 --> 14:16.410 These are the ones I'm rocking in 2026. SPT because, you know, 14:17.570 --> 14:21.650 you never know, Splinter Lens might fucking rise up again. Anyway, 14:23.990 --> 14:29.450 maybe you want to become a professional photographer. Look at X-Man on Blurt. Look at 14:29.450 --> 14:35.670 the photos he puts out. He's basically using his Blurt page as a portfolio, which is cool, 14:36.390 --> 14:41.810 you know, which is very cool. And if you, if maybe he has a website, I bet, I bet he does, 14:42.410 --> 14:46.570 you know, he's basically doing the same thing on his website and again, post it on to figure, 14:47.430 --> 14:56.210 right? Maybe you want to become an actor or actress, then start posting skits or your own 14:56.590 --> 15:01.690 kind of like spoken word pieces, you know, just you and the camera and no, no music, none of that, 15:01.690 --> 15:05.570 none of that stupid normal shit, you know, you know, when you watch these videos, when they come 15:05.570 --> 15:09.230 up with all these fucking stupid ass music in the background and the music's like higher than 15:09.230 --> 15:17.590 the fucking sound. Yeah, man. Equilibrium, you know what I mean? Maybe you could record 15:17.590 --> 15:25.250 yourself, you know, like auditioning for plays. When I first started out as a young 15:25.250 --> 15:37.450 artist in the early 2010s, 2010, I was 20 years old. So by the time I was 19, I was with a small 15:37.450 --> 15:44.450 group of people, small group, me and two other guys were like a semi kind of say that we're 15:44.450 --> 15:53.250 just starting out as a filming company. Basically, we would hire out on starnow.com different 15:53.250 --> 15:57.410 actors and actresses that were coming up. And oftentimes you can get them for free, 15:58.210 --> 16:04.990 you know, you kick their balls, you know, they kick your balls, you know, they do a film for you, 16:05.210 --> 16:12.570 you know, you can audition, you get whatever for, you know, same thing. I bet you can find many, 16:12.790 --> 16:20.230 many up and coming Mavericks out there, you know, sometimes we pay them, but you know, 16:20.230 --> 16:23.750 we pay them in coffee, we pay them in cakes and now of course we get some, you know, rough 16:23.750 --> 16:30.990 charts, fiat money to them, but hey, that deal's a deal, man, you know. And that's how we started 16:30.990 --> 16:40.240 out and we built our portfolio. It was quite great, man, you know, went out there. If you 16:40.240 --> 16:46.640 want to be an actress or actor, stop putting yourself out there, man. Use your Blertz page, 16:46.880 --> 16:51.680 your Blertblog page, or your Blertmedia page as part of your acting resume, you know, 16:51.680 --> 17:00.600 maybe one day you'll make it to Bollywood. You know, yeah, man, my mind's on fire tonight. 17:00.860 --> 17:11.710 I apologize. Let's get back to business. This goes for singing as well. Maybe you want to be a singer, 17:12.050 --> 17:22.010 do the same shit, man. Use the Blertmedia. Build up your channel, you know. Maybe you want 17:22.010 --> 17:27.330 to be a game designer. Stop talking to me about code. Show me your day in the life as a programmer. 17:28.790 --> 17:36.990 You know, stick to one narrative and aim for your business, aim for your life style that you want. 17:40.350 --> 17:44.130 In terms of mine, if you just look at the Blert 17:47.310 --> 17:52.310 pages, it's kind of all over the place, but it fits in with my name, the channel name, Brave 17:52.310 --> 17:56.370 Smokes Corner. It's my corner, like, you know, when you shove things in the corner. My corner 17:56.370 --> 18:02.550 is all type of shit. But bearing in mind, I also started on Hive as Jin, the souljourner, 18:03.190 --> 18:08.670 and I was posting a lot of traveling videos, pipe smoking videos, walking videos, talking 18:08.670 --> 18:15.430 videos, and then before that, on the other side, you know, I had a channel called Extricated System, 18:15.970 --> 18:22.570 where I was talking about, you know, getting out of this corrupt system. So if you kind of go 18:22.570 --> 18:29.170 back to my credentials, you'll find that, hey, he's, he, every single time we had a, you know, 18:29.170 --> 18:39.050 like definitive narrative, you know, now I'm just like merging them all together, 18:39.050 --> 18:45.870 because a lot of people know kind of like who I am on the social medias. I've been on there for 18:45.870 --> 18:55.710 too long. Plus, you know, I used to be a performer, so everyone knows my face in solid life. So 18:58.050 --> 19:06.970 you've got to do the same. Go out there, network. And most importantly, you have a very good tool, 19:07.150 --> 19:13.110 that hand, which is your blood page, your blood media page. I don't know why you're not using it. 19:13.590 --> 19:18.510 I don't know why you're not utilizing the Fediverse. I don't know why you, you know, 19:19.570 --> 19:27.070 one person that I, like one person's channel that I really like to watch is 19:28.310 --> 19:33.910 Rosolive One on blood media. She only does like small videos, like three minutes, four minutes, 19:34.070 --> 19:39.310 five minutes. But the way she talks, the way she comes across on the videos, the way she talks 19:39.310 --> 19:44.150 to you, you're going to feel her passion, you know, like coming off it like, you know. 19:45.910 --> 19:51.170 And if she continues doing these kind of videos that way, listen, man, she's already set herself 19:51.170 --> 19:57.290 apart from the different people she has, you know, come up with, you know, I'm not shooting 19:57.290 --> 20:01.930 anyone down, but I'm just saying, you know, she sticks out. Why does she stick up? Because I can 20:01.930 --> 20:06.950 fuse her, you know, why can I fuse her? Because she answered the question, why should, why should 20:06.950 --> 20:11.170 I care? Why should I care? Man, she don't even give me no damn choice. I gots to care, 20:11.170 --> 20:17.510 you know, the way she speaks about her subject, health, her passion alone, the emotion, 20:18.870 --> 20:29.610 say no more, say no more. So just rewinding back to what I'm saying, your blood page 20:30.150 --> 20:32.650 has the potential to be your resume. 20:37.110 --> 20:40.730 Think about what you want to do with it and where you want to go with it. 20:42.390 --> 20:48.890 Plan ahead, man. A great opportunity for us to use this free tool to build our life. 20:51.510 --> 20:52.590 And here you are, man. 20:55.090 --> 20:58.590 The whole planet is your oyster. Just leave my corner alone.
