Growing up in a country torn by sectarianism, I was a council estate kid surrounded by Drugs, Alcohol, and Violence. It made me realise I did not want to be in that world, instead, I wished to be a TH-camr.
At 19 I quit my job, begged my mum to buy me a go pro and started creating videos every day. From this I learned a valuable skill in a digital world, how to make content - I went on to start a Video Production Company ’’Nuke Productions’’. This company covered my Cost of Living and gave me Freedom.
During the 2020 Coronavirus, I started a Mexican Fast Casual restaurant ’’Locos Mexican’’ and ran it until 2022, at one point employing over 14 staff in 2 locations. Now I run a successful Digital Agency ’’Aeternum Media’’ where we help clients worldwide to scale with a range of Digital Services from Web Design - Content Creation - Paid Ads and more.

The “bottom” is literally impossible to subside on Show me one “young person” getting a free ride & ill show you a person who has worked harder than you AND their peers That’s it You all act like you worked as hard as that “one kid” The bottom percentile grows - The middle class is empirically shown to be shrinking Which means these “kids” get f all in terms of benefits - they are meat in a grinder that is indifferent to their suffering or harship All within a culture that depends total tolerance, compliance & subservience Be it competing with the WORLD’s employment force as a young person in “The West” or bowing down to a government & parents so disconnected from your world they couldn’t hope to “reach you” in a thousand years.. I have had to connect a laptop to a tv screen for a man who earns over 10 million dollars a year in total salary, retirement & benefits.. But yes.. tell me & us more about “marketable skills” while you cannot only not “figure out” how to broadcast your powerpoint - but also cannot reason to “look it up” I’m sure you’re just a reuploader of these guys content - but my goodness are these privileged kids DAFT - A self made millionaire
Top top man👌🏼
Massive congratulations
At first I thought what language is he speaking, like it took me 5 seconds to even recognize he is speaking English 😂
Fair enough, our accent can be thick.
Are u northern Irish cuz if u r same
I am indeed 🤝
Same I’m from the ards peninsula
Wtf are you talking about
I run an agency, we make videos. Point in this clip, was it’s not the pretty video that is valuable to businesses. It’s the solution to the problem. The value derived from most products or services comes from stories, the latter half of the short. Thanks for the comment.
❤
Valuable advice! I was doing nights, and I took this to the extreme, caused myself neurological problems. I lost my hearing and was crippled with migraines for a while. Stay away from working nights, and value your sleep rather than reducing sleep, meaning:- "early to bed early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise." Wake up early and fresh, no beer means no beer belly! 😂
Holy smokes. I used to do nights in a factory, it truly made me miserable I struggled to adapt my pattern. I remember one night sitting outside tesco, almost feeling suicidal with the thought of doing this for the rest of my life. Took a leap, went all in on it and I’ll never have to be dealing with that again.
Nice one lads! Best wishes from the far side of the pool!
Legend!
How do we even get license?
Static noise is rarley ever the same, always changing and unique. I would rather be that than trying to beat the next pendulem swing of normality.
Great listen guys!
Jordans 100%on what he said I brought him up to have values and the best thing you can give your kids is your time and your love ❤️
Great podcast lads
Much appreciated 🤝
Karma is a bitch i use to know and she purely wicked!
Amen brother.
Isn't this about forcing people to do what they don't want to?
Fair enough 😂
Tywin Lannaster from Game of Thrones lol
What a show until the last season
@@robertjoshclarke I agree! I think the twists would have been okay, but they did it so quickly it didn't make sense. Had they done those things over 2 or 3 seasons, it would have been epic. They shouldn't have rushed it.
They got that other gig and absolutely shit on their fans on the last season to wrap it up fast. What was the point in Jon Snow coming back if he wasn't going to be on the throne lol Ah I am getting PTSD. The new show has been a slight redemption though.
@@robertjoshclarke Absolutely agree. Bran ends up being the king and Snow goes back to the wall? So lame. I haven't watched the new show yet...I'm too scared lol
This guy looks like Harry from the sidemen
😂😂😂 fair enough
That never happened.
Vikings didnt burn their boats you fucking doofus
Potentially historic myth, may have happened but not as often as stated, it also applys to the Helveti burning their own homes and going to war.
You could be right, I did read it in a book though - The Art Of War.
Actually it was a Spanish expedition led by Hernán Cortés landed in Mexico. Cortés knew his crew was already exhausted after the long sea journey, but he had to motivate them to succeed in the new land. So he ordered the scuttling of the ships they arrived in. Scuttling usually entails abandoning ship (the myth goes they burned their ships, but actually they broke them down for materials.)
Well I read it in the Art Of War by Sun Tzu, it's more the concept I was getting at than the historical accuracy. Appreciate the info though 🤝
Dramatisation, may not have happened.
Yea, it didn't happen that would be an absolute hugeee waste of wood and time.
This is a story that's often attributed to Julius Caesar when he landed in Britain. It is said that he burned the ships they arrived in to send a message both to the enemy and his own men that there would be no retreat. As far as I am aware, I believe this is apocryphal. Though, I seem to remember Cortez doing something similar when they arrived in Mexico in the 1500s.
Appreciate the info, Caesar was ruthless but the methodology clearly worked. I'll keep this in mind next time I bring this up!
Noooo
Where can I see your stuff? :)
No beans?
Very good
One day very soon .The whole of the Democratic Unionist Party .Their northern Ireland peoples .Will have to face reality, of a shared Ireland With all the Provos dissenters more planters ,foreigners .all different shapes and sizes, colours .That their we country, Were the mine set of 'hundreds of years of colonialism, is gone for good, and out of Ireland . .The Dup is full, of telling “porkies .That we must get on ,ie Sammy Wilson ,Arlene Foster, ex Dup leader and Nigel Dodds .There is no one in the Dup family .who can be truth full, today .With the help of Brexit and the demographics of northern Ireland today . .That we believe, its all over and It is now . For NI ./Its a long time from. The events of August 1969 And Bombay street and today, we must get on now .What new story is to be told .in a new united Ireland .Is it going to be .Live long and prosper, for all its Irish/Gaeilge people .
An interesting discussion. What I would say to the DUP is that they got exactly the Brexit they voted for. They threw their lot in with a bunch of malign English nationalist politicians who they entrusted to do their bidding in the negotiations with the EU when history has shown that they don't care about NI Unionists (Anglo-Irish Agreement, anyone?). To have written them a blank cheque was extremely foolish, and as such means that the DUP now don't get to complain about how they spent it. Johnson was always going to go with what was best for England because for him and his ilk, England is the UK. They didn't give a stuff that NI, Scotland and Gibraltar voted to Remain and never once sought to negotiate a Brexit deal that respected these wishes. In fairness to the DUP, even if they had campaigned to Remain, NI would most likely still be in the same position as now. The difference would be that they could protest against the Protocol from a position of moral authority instead of been seen as useful idiots who sold NI and Unionists out.
Had such a laugh on this! Thanks for having me and @starkiller1341 onboard!
Awesome mate! (George)
Thanks! Didn’t think I’d get good advice on this app.
Appreciate it, have a good day 🤝
Top man Lee is, Great podcast.
😂😂😂😂
I'm Canadian. I was well aware of the German car industry. But Northern Ireland produces electricity? From what, all the hot air? News to me! I was only aware of Northern Ireland's vast local industry for producing poor, disenfranchised Catholics and governments that break down whenever if looks like that industry might finally be shuttered...
Northern Ireland produces a lot of exports, has a vast amount of talent and some real potential with international trader 23 & beyond. Disenfranchised catholicism your about 30 years behind on news, sectarianism is at all time low on island in my experience.
no such thing as a distinguished representative from the DUP. As for you Robert you are an Irish man, your surname Clarke otherwise known as Ó Cléirigh proves that.
Well I identify as Northern Irish so I guess that tips my hat to my Irish heritage and also embraces my support for the union. I don’t care what your religion is, where you pee from or anything like that I only care about things which affect most working people’s day to day life. Thanks for commenting!
I think that when the DUP respects the Wishes of the Majority within the Colony, and never mind England, then they will earn People's full respect. Democracy on the Island where they live should always be first priority.
Politics as a whole north, south, east and west is full of self gaining leeches who steal from the poor to make fat cats fatter. I want a political system which takes in to consideration the working class before taxing them to death.
No I don't think there will be a united Ireland any time soon. Unionist and Nationalist can never "unite". I don't think even a "shared island" is a goer either, the South don't see Unionists as any great prize to be won over, and are kinda proud of the state they live in, despite the housing issue etc. I do get the sense that GB is slowly turning off the life support system to NI, largely down to Brexit, which the DUP fully supported (duh) Maybe some form of joint authority over the next 20 years or so, the Republic is already funding nursing training, the Erasmus scheme, and building projects in NI. One thing for sure, Unionism will never again be the dominant force it once was, and will need better selling points than the tattered NHS, the pound, and how "mighty" GB is.
You should bare in mind should a border poll happen and NI votes against an UI and a decade later, again vote against an UI, do you really think there would be a 3rd border poll. From a southern point of view, the republic would have no choice to amend the GFA and remove automatic Irish citizens from all the people from NI. There would be no justification in continuing to grant citizenship to a people who voted twice against an UI.
Partition will come to an end,then the thirty two county Republic will be established..That day will come.
I appreciate your comment, you made some good points!
And will be forgotten about in 10,000 years anyway, let’s all just wish ourselves to be prosperous and not worry about what flag some dirt belongs too. If you identify as irish be irish if you identify as british be british.
@@bluechip297 Not certain what you mean re RoI citizenship here ? As I understand it, people born in NI are entitled to Irish citizenship, though it is not automatically granted. One way or another, there are distinct benefits to having an Irish passport, and if memory serves me correctly, some members of the OO have found it useful to do so.
'PromoSM'
My Grandparents were from Donegal but were practically shunned out of Ireland for having a child out of wedlock (things were not a lot better for them in the UK as they were dirt poor in Rochdale and there was lots of Anti-Irish sentiment at the time) Ireland has got better in regards to Religion but if it were to get more extremist then I fear for the people in Northern Ireland who may be in the same boat as my Grandparents which is why I (Born in Manchester) am pro keeping Northern Ireland as part of the UK. I don't support all of this orange order shite where they prance about and burn Irish flags nor do I support teenagers in ROI going around saying 'Up the Ra' or moronic likes, the UK and Ireland should have a closer relationship and be more friendly towards one-another, we need to look at the bigger picture considering what is going on in Ukraine and realise that herritage and culture means naff all if faced with a doomsday scenario. What I truly wish for is a Tory government being dragged out of Westminster kicking and screaming with more investment being in all parts of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. I wish for NI, Scotland England and Wales to prosper as a whole, if the Americans are supposed to be our cousins then i'd want to consider ROI our step brothers (I do respect their sovereignty) but I wish them, the EU and America(Joe Biden specifically) would stop pushing the envelope & stay out of it because they are Anti-British or more specifically Anti-English. People from ROI generally seem to be quite warm and welcoming even when I tell them i'm from England so i'll reciprocate, if you are from ROI and are reading this I plead with you to keep things as is and not spark more division, it won't end well for any party.
Very well put. We are all residents of planet earth and I am true advocate for giving the people good lifes, good opportunities and a life without prejudice. Politics come and go but the day to day well being of the people is what matters most. 🤝
I support Germany having six counties of England as an integral part of the Federal Republic of Germany.
Yeah, you may think differently if you had lived in NI under Unionism. As regards your parents problems at that time, it was no different in England. Britain created the disaster of NI and then looked the other way while 'their side' committed murders and discrimation on a wholesale level against the Catholic population. You say you would like to see the Union kept in place. Well I would suggest that you are not qualified to comment and should walk quietly away with your head down.
I always hate when politicians call themselves "authorities". They are not there to mandate or to tell others what to do. They are there to do what others tell them.
Could not agree more 👍
Turn down the music maybe... I just couldn't hear enough to understand what you were talking about really. Just some honest feedback.
Sounds absolutely fine on my end, full podcast has no music so there is 1.5 hrs of information there for you.
If only that interview was this week. I’d be asking what the DUP plan to do about the new ‘standard’ of sex education to minors!!
Damn what happened????
What happened with the burrito shop? I’d love to start a business but the risk is so massive, and you have to have plenty of money. It’s scary
Massive massive increase in overheads so it operated at a loss, I don’t run companies at a loss so I liquidated the company and started my marketing agency which is doing very well. Everything is a risk in life, at the end of the day money isn’t real and bankruptcy is like losing monopoly - your out of the game for a bit, but you have more lives. Take a risk man, find something and strive to prove every mofo out there that you are going to be a success.
As soon as someone says all religions are the same you know they’re totally ignorant and haven’t looked into who God is at all.
Elaborate please? I know it was Harry who said that so I will pass it over to him, I’m sure he will have an educated response. He has been Christian for a long time.
@@robertjoshclarke he should know Christianity is the only religion who says Jesus is God, and the only religion that does not claim good works will get you to heaven. I’m not having a go at Harry by the way. I’m just showing his statement that all religions are the same is totally wrong. In the end one will be right because they all contradict each other, they can’t all be right.
Love the pod 😊
Appreciate the love Daniel 🎙️🤝
@@robertjoshclarke Keep up with the good work and such an inspiration 😊😊
They will know .... Oh yeah
😂😂
Great pod
Thanks Thomas, appreciate the love 🤝👌
Women are better for families. One of the reasons why society is so messed up is because too many women are leaving the family home and trying to be a man. Men are meant to be the ones who go out and work for a living. The women are meant to raise children. That’s how God designed it.
As a Dad of a girl, you can run a business and be a mum the two don’t run side by side. Women can do whatever they want and I think we should encourage great thinking females to achieve their success in business.
