Right.

What year was it?

Was it a moment?

Was it a month where you realize this shit is real?

This internet shit is real.

I'm going to run it up.

This is a business.

This is not, you you know because some people

as you coming up in your on your social media game a lot of people try to throw you on man your little

page yeah they want you to do early early on a lot of people did they look at it like it's just a page

and it's not no business like man you're a little page you can throw this up you could do this

when did you say oh no this a business Nah, I think when businesses started to hit me up for, like, real promotion, like, I think it was like beats headphones hit me up early on for like a real commercial. And I'm like, damn, like me. Like, I just, you know, I used to sit and talk about like, man, eventually when I get big off on social media, I'm going to just be done with all this. I'm going to just go to TV. I'm going to transition. But then you start to learn like, this is where it's at. This is that walk around and be on TV every night that get no love walking down the street. I can walk down the street next to that same guy that got a hit TV show right now. And everybody's flying up to me. You know what I'm saying? So the times have changed. But I didn't notice that until I started making these goals about, oh, I'm going to be done with it by that time. Once I get big on social media, I'm going to be done. I'm moving on. But it quickly switched when I started seeing the businesses and brands hit me up about promoting their brands through my page. And then I think it went from everybody saying like, oh, your little Instagram, I seen your little Instagram. You know girls just, it's just a downplay of everything. Like, oh, the pages, your followers is not dollars. Like, your followers. So when it turned into that, it's like, oh, shit.

So that's really what it was for me, like the actual big, like, businesses that you see on TV and, like, in the Super Bowl, on the commercials, anything, they start hitting you up to do shit to use your page as views. You know what I'm saying? So I was like, damn, this shit real. That's when I knew for real. Was it a time when, when, um, you felt this dude like, you know what?

This shit right here, I need a manager or you were just doing it by yourself. Was it a moment where you was like I needed the manager and then the manager came in? How long was you doing this shit by yourself as a business? Like taking the, taking the checks, they sending you the wires. I think, yeah, when it started getting into all that difficult wiring and trying to figure out W9, W2, W8, all that shit, that's when I was like, all right, I need a manager, because I ain't got time to be trying to figure out all the, you know, of course I learned it. Like, I know what it all is now, but it's like the negotiation shit, because some, some of these companies can like hit you for way over your head than what you, you know, you could be owed way more than what you feel like you could be old. But without a good manager, without somebody that's negotiating the contract, they can fuck you over. How many times you got hit in the head? Man, I got hit in the head early on. Hey, man. Take this two thousand. It was one brother.

This black dude hit me.

I'd never forget this.

Even my homies, no.

He hit me.

I'd never forget this.
