This guy literally pulled me out of the beta mindset and pain from a failed marriage by listening to his content. I got therapy, lost weight, my style game popping, cologne collection growing and got my money all the way up after I started watching him 3 years ago. What I got from watching him, I couldn't get from my own absentee father and I fully understand why I grieve the brother. Thank you and rest well Godfather...
Take it from me: your mindset gonna go up and down brother. You won’t feel like doing it most of the time. The trick is to get used to the fact that it sucks as bad as it does but be ok with it. Otherwise, as soon as it really starts to get to you, you may think you don’t want it. That’s what happened to me. Once I realized that if I want to lose weight, I’m going to feel hungry, it got way easy. I looked forward to the hunger and knew it meant I was doing right.
I’m only here because a feminist was celebrating KS’s death. Im a scholar to be who has a philosophy that anytime a known adversary is happy about someone who has died, that person needs to be studied. So far the main thing Ive learned from KS is what a wife is and isn’t, what a man should strive for when it comes to values, and the trapping of modern feminist (Christian) women and being able identify them vs a traditional woman.
This is the single most important episode of TH-cam content I have ever seen. I’ve never seen anyone this committed to improving people like Mr. Samuels. God bless you sir.
Can’t believe it’s been almost a year since you left big bro. We’re still listening and striving to be better men and women. RIP BROTHA YOU ARE TRULY MISSED
As a white man who grew up without a dad and didn’t grow up cherry fed I really love listening to Samuel. He brings insight and reality I rank him among Jordan Peterson easily when it comes to increasing the value and responsibilities of young men. He is literally doing Gods work.
Kevin’s content gave me a great roadmap for evaluating my life and where i was at and an ass kicking when needed. I remember I was one of those guys complaining about women not liking me and a guy like me came on and Kevin asked a simple question “tell me about the last 10 women you approached”. He wasn’t talking to me but i had the same answer…i couldn’t remember the last time i did. I began getting over my approach anxiety, socialized more, got on the apps and now dating an amazing FBI woman for close to a year. RIP Kevin.
They NEVER reference this episode of Kevin's content. The non biased, unfiltered, life changing advice this man has for brothers and sisters alike. This gentleman is single handedly changing lives. Thanks for all you're doing Mr. Samuel's!
It’s crazy how much Kevin changed my life. I wasn’t dumb enough to waste my beauty and not get married so I had and still have my husband but I got a personal trainer, I’m a better wife to my husband, I’m a better mother, and I’m in therapy weekly recovering from growing up black and in poverty and for the first time in my life the trauma has lifted with therapy. Thank you Kevin. I wouldn’t have these outcomes otherwise honestly.
It seems a lot of grown men are having trouble accepting something I realized as a teenager which is - you do what you’re good at, not necessarily what you love.
@@00Peacemaker Thats true nobody ever really stops doing things they love but only some understand that it can’t be there life, there profession, only a hobby.
I really wished I would’ve heard the military guys call-in, and explained what he was trying to say more clearly. Basically, I retired from the USAF in 2019, after 20 years, but during my time I earned a masters, bachelors, and two associates to set myself up for the government qualifications and experience side. The connections came during 10 deployments and talking with those already on the civilian side. Right now, I make about $1600 a month from retirement pay, a little over $3220 a month from 100% VA compensation (T&P), and I landed a GS12 position as a medical professional in March of 2019, 3 months prior to my official retirement date. My retirement pay and VA compensation is there for the rest of my life, and my GS job is what puts me over the $150k a year mark. That’s not including no property tax on my home I bought in the DMV. $250k a year is tough to make right out of the military, but if you take care of business while in, you could start off as a GS11 and eventually work your way up to that amount in about 5 years. I have a 17 year old daughter (18 next August...no more child support lol), and her college is already paid for due to my VA benefits. I own a rental property in San Antonio, which basically pays my mortgage and then some. If you’re in the military, please take care of business while in and don’t get comfortable.
DJ Kadilac good on you! My brother works for Northrop Grumman overseas and makes around $95k tax free. The military gives you opportunities, but you have to take them. We need to keep telling these young men to take advantage while in!
I’m glad you posted this because an ex of mine story is similar. He got his PhD during his 30 years in the military. When he got out, he obtained a job that paid him six figures starting off. He only works there once or twice a week. Between his job and pension, he was able to purchase several rental properties throughout Texas. He collects no less than $2k a month in rent. When I met him he was at $350k a year, now he’s at $500k. He also has an impressive network and has helped many young, Black men get pretty good jobs. The military is a great starting point if you know how to network and apply yourself.
This was uncomfortable to watch... but only b/c with me being a Realist, this made me realize I’m not going hard enough. You really gotta dig deep to have massive growth & reach major heights
@@commonsenseisnotsocommon I sort of do just by the way they speak. Calling me names is how I know you don't have a relationship with Jesus. You can't go to heaven being world minded.
@@michael.abosaid5252 You are way too sensitive if you think calling you "weird" is calling you a name. Be gone you weird self rightoues random TH-cam commenter.
Yes. I think the closest I can get to loving what I do is doing something that forces me to grow as a function of doing the job. I work in Software Engineering so my job is like 90% learning and implementing new technology under tight deadlines. It's not fun, genuinely it's fucking brutal mentally. But, it's satisfying because it doesn't feel like wasted effort.
The concept of accepting that someone is better than you at what you aspire to be and that studying them and doing what they say with no comment until asked to speak will organically improve you is a lost one today. My mentors always stressed how “paying your dues” and failing young is the biggest win you could ever have as a young man. That’s right failure is a blessing. Humility is a virtue in this world and those who have it tend to stay on their purpose a lot more than those who think it is a birthright to succeed.
I've watched all of KS's videos and this is one of my favorites. Very knowledgeable and articulate. The aesthetic from the suit to the environment of his home is so comforting. I've just turned 24 and I have been watching since 2019. This man gave me a father figure I've never had, and he helped me grow and learn about me. Thank you and you are missed!
This video woke me up about my own value. I’m 33. No kids. My first job was at 14 years old. I produced and sold music and street hustled at 15-21. Worked in retail sales, hard labor on the port, Walmart stocking until i was almost manager, hotshot driving, Twic card for offshore , did college online for web design and mass media production and dropped out but still learned enough , did marketing, self taught stock market, big rig trucking , and fixed my own credit from reading , and was a shop hand and did everything including sweeping the floor so kind of a janitor. Also into advertising. My smallest check in life was $35 for a week. Got to a point where I couldn’t afford a value meal from McDonald’s. Now I currently now own a successful business and still growing with high standards for self and my crowd . I slept on myself . 🙏🏼 only because my motivation is the challenge. My real and only goal is to see how far I can go in life. What more can I accomplish is the question to myself and accomplishing things makes me feel better about me. Also had felonies at age 13 so trouble been dead. I can’t go backwards . My mother is disabled and my daddy was gone on crack so he wasn’t around . God good thought. Still needed to watch this video though. You have to go through to get to and from each experience you learn something different that you can compile into one big thing for your future . 💪🏽
@tudorsabina6637im not surprised he’s gone honestly. He constantly belittles ppl and uses ppls insecurities against themselves. kevins samuels big mouth got him killed. He probably spoke bad to a street dude or a street dudes wife..
@@maxdanielstrauss7735 I’m currently teaching myself how to develop software. Is there a downside to not going to school or does it not matter when you factor in the need for real life experience?
This is such an awesome video. Just a small story of my life. I’m currently 26 years old and in my first year of residency as a family medicine physician. I know right now the hours are brutal and the pay sucks, but I know 5 years from now that my position in life will only be the beginning. I remember being so hungry for success at such a young age. At 17, I began taking college course and Working full-time beyond the hours I was allowed to in order to save up money to pay for my college tuition. I did not have a car, and I took public transportation everywhere. From 18 to 21 I worked 65hours a week between 3 jobs, went to school full-time, Did research, was a teacher assistant, volunteered, and after all the struggle during those years I received my acceptance letter into medical school. It was the happiest I’ve ever been in my life. Even me, after making it into residency, I started to become complacent. This video today just revamped my motivation To going back to the gym consistently and strive to learn as much as I can in residency so when it’s over I can focus on the business aspect of medicine. Thank you Mr. Samuels.
I remember a few months back when I listened to this I was honestly scared. The idea of it all, everything that KS lives by, it scared me because I was behind. Today, I go to school, I have an internship in the career field I want to be in and I still work a part time job on the weekends.. ALL at the SAME time. I get tired, I do, but like Ks said, the satisfaction of going to sleep TIRED because I work for 3/4 of my day is much more rewarding than having an extra 5 hours of spare time to do God knows what. Today KS message resonates with me at a different level than the me from before. Thank you, Kevin. Rest in peace 🙏🏽
Tywin Lannister wasn't good or evil. He was morally ambivalent. He cared about securing power and preserving his family's legacy before all else. If you were in the way of his goals, you had to be dealt with.
After listening to this show, ultimately it seems like these brothers just lack guidance. They want to improve and do better, but dont know how or even where to start. We all have the potential to be great, but without guidance and certain values instilled in you, you become a lost soul. We need more older and experienced brothers like Kevin giving brothers the real. Wish I had known some of these things in my younger years. Very enlightening show.
Males..especially Black males from fatherless home often don't have that support system to help them succeed in life. Obama even said many times that he would have never become President if he didn't have any male role models in his life giving him advice, and a support system. We just can't expect people to become successful if they never had the support system in place.
@@tom11zz884 I have a different perspective now I always thought black men were deadbeat and had no ambition Now I am seeing they just need guidance. I hope they get it, especially the young ones.

My husband was a hard working man that provided that had a random heart attack. We did not see it coming. 😰 He was not over weight or anything like that. He was a very attractive, intelligent man that spoke five languages that had an underlining heart condition that took him away from us. 😰He was not a millionaire but left us ok financially. What I was not prepared for was the psychological and social issues that would follow his death.

A lot of people don’t know what it’s like to get off work, fall straight asleep then wake up and do another 10-12 hour day. It’s a grind but worth it. Build your brand at the company.
Listening to this episode is full proof that guidance is crucial during our teenage years. We chose what was easy and now we paying for it. It's not too late though, time to MAN UP and put in the work. Laziness aint never helped nobody
To become a high value male you have to make sacrifices. Straight to the point, get in shape mentally, emotionally, physically, and financially. That means go to the gym, get therapy and work on unlearning whatever is holding you back, make smart investments and save money. You need to surround yourself with people who have the same desire to grow, evolve, to unlearn, to grind. Stop being unrealistic. If it's not medicine, tech, law, Or a trade don't get the degree That doesn't have a majority of people making 100k and up. Ñ
If everybody followed this degree path and hypothetically made it to the fields for which they studied, what do you think would happen to all the other jobs?
@@UnknownNev There's a significant shortage in these fields, every black man could realistically do the jobs I just mentioned and it still wouldn't satisfy the shortages in those fields. Stop reaching to discount the message because you aren't willing to heed what was typed.
@@DynamicHaze I’m already degreed up and have a well paying career, son. Y’all need to realize the economy can’t survive without the jobs you feel are below you are being done.
If i may give my 5 cents to get a lot more of you brothers moving - I spent most of my 20's playing video games etc - Dont let your past decisions and what you did then define your future - What you did back then, is what it is - Let it go and start a new - I see so many people living oppressed from their past decisions - Start working on who you want to be now.
This reminds me of my brother. He’s in his early 20s and has been obsessed with video games since his teenage years. I’m looking for a mentor to help him out. If you know anyone, please reply. Thank you :)
Kevin is talking some real shit on this one. I drove a cab overnight in NY for 4 years while I pursued a BA degree during the day. It set me up for where I am today. If you’re a young man getting started, do the work, go through the pain. It’s worth it.
I started dressing up in suits casually because I like the way it makes me feel. Confident, powerful. ALOT of people look at me as if “Look at this dude”. But this is the standard I want the most for myself.
Kevin was adored by some and not appreciated by many. Like a brilliant comet he was not here for long. From him I re-learned the importance of staying in my lane and making the journey of my life as pleasant as possible because it doesn't last forever.
I'm 50 years old and I've worked in a government position in my state going on 10 years. I refuse to be like my counterparts and simply retire. I desire to do and become more. This is certainly helping me in a great way! Bless you brother!
I only started watching The Godfather about a month ago. I’ve been binging on his content since his passing and the more I watch, the more apparent for me that he was mostly misunderstood. May Kevin’s soul rest in perfect peace through God’s grace. Amen 🙏🏾
The martial mastery part is genius. The confidence that comes with being able to handle yourself actually keeps you out of trouble because you're calm enough to avoid the fight. Whereas men who aren't confident in their skills tend to go into fight mode a lot easier.
Not gonna lie 10k a month has been my goal, and you realize that that is just the entry point. At first it made me upset with myself but then I was just happy that you made me realize it.
Kevin you spit facts! 💯 I think with a lot of men they don't know where to start as young men. As older men they look back and say THEY SCREWED UP!😏 It took me at the age of 40 to become high value now 45. Your mind has to be right and know what you want out of life.
Write your goals down, put it in your wallet. Look at it from time to time and put effort towards it. Even if you fail keep going! STAY AWAY FROM NEGATIVE PEOPLE THEY WILL DRAIN YOUR ENERGY! I'm not bragging but at 25 yrs old I built my 1st house from the ground up. Watch motivational videos everyday. And even after you get your riches stay away from people not going the same direction you are going in because they will plot to take your riches after you get it! Family members are the first to want to see you fall because they think he came from where I'm from so they will try to bring you back down to their level and feel you don't deserve it. Everyone definition of success is different. I have a ritual I do every morning before I get out of bed, and I SAY NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST SHALL PROPER! And that's when my day start at 330am. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF ✊✌️
To those being slapped and scolded, don't be hard on yourself. I laugh at y'all too but I also see myself in you and really believe you can get to the next level by doing the work. We've all been there and Kevin's videos have helped me level up big time.
That’s right, the successful have all said this and many failed or were told no or you can’t early on but they persevered and push forward. Hard work (Mayweather, Kobe and this list doesn’t stop 🛑
Every few months or so, I circle back to this episode! It helps fuel the fire to keep driving on some of the stuff I'm working on! Can't get comfortable! Gotta keep grinding!! See you at the top! Peace and Love Godfather!
I made over $200k last year in 2020 with a business administration degree from an HBCU! I believe if you’re driven and focus you can get a degree in anything it’s about your effort and who you surround yourself with.
Did you graduate within the past 8 years though? I believe Kevin’s perspective is largely impart to the rise of access to information via the internet especially within the past decade. Apparently he believes that real life experience is more valuable than paying thousands of dollars on an overpriced degree that isn’t a guarantee in terms of risk vs reward. So many Americans have degrees in fields that they don’t even work in and mountains of debt. This idea was was drilled in the book, “Rich Dad, Poor Dad.” You’re fortunate compared to millions of Americans.
One of my favorite quotes of all time. “ you CAN NOT become anything you want to be, you can ONLY become more of who you are”. I heard this quote at 25. By then l had already made all the mistakes.

@@shawnjordan2716 most of the roles I'm interested in are looking for MS/PhD creds. Sure there's probably outliers but I think overall I'd have more options with the degree.
Kevin helped me get on a path to becoming a CIA man, get my career on point, learn some grown man training. Really wish I would’ve heard of him 5 years ago. Still, I’m thankful to have come across his content.

I felt that monologue because I have been through that feeling. Guys, what do you know about to have a published article in a top 1% peer reviewed journal in STEM and then have to change countries and lifestyle and restart from the bottom?. And restart and have to work night shifts for an hourly wage when you were a STEM researcher in your formal life? You have to reinvent yourself and start all over again and make it to the top...again! It’s all about the mindset.
Thank you Mr Samuels. Cried some tears listening to this bc I know where I need to go. I want to take care of my family if I make one, whether I'm loved for it or not. This is being a Man. Even if I don't become a millionaire, I need to compete I gotta make decisions. Thanks for the truths that slap you and make you upset. If feel like for you to keep saying all this stuff, it shows you love us not in that childish way we get taught from TV. Like real life. ✊🏾
Most improtant thing is to learn a skill that's in demand. For example a career in one of the following: IT, engineering, Trades, etc depending on what aligns with your talents and interests. Focus on building a CAREER, and not just doing another job. You want to keep building and moving up. Besides that, keep on learning and developing yourself everyday. Two very important books that can change your life: - Interview with the devil (napoleon hill) - Richest man in babylon I'm 31 myself by the way, and just got admitted to university, starting a degree in IT this September. (Computer information systems, and Cybersecurity eventually. Easy to make 6 figures in these fields. )
This is very informational, I got into the trucking business in July of 2020 and what Kevin Samuel stated about blue collar trades to ownership is correct. I tell people that is close to me that we are not playing on a equal field and folks is going to school for years to not even become white collar. Knowledge is power ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

I know right! It’s strange… I love hearing it, but at the same time it’s painful to hear it. I miss him so much. RIP Godfather! We’ve lost you way too soon.
I put that song on my playlist before he passed. It made me remember to tune in to listen to his show. He was so consistent at that time. I watched him and Coach Greg Adams. Those 2 Men had me focused and achieving. Sad that Kevin passed so suddenly. This song reminds me of him now and to keeping thing consistent, productive & intentional.
Man your words will be missed, you have made me a better man & have changed my life for the better with your words. You made it to the Most High enjoy your life up there with him and rest easy big fella.🙏🏿👏🏿🔥💯😇
At 25 I had a job at a restaurant but I was working 60 hours a week as a team leader going to school full time taking four college classes. In small business management. At 18 y.o. I had a full-time job as a fried cook , a no where a job, so I joined the military for 6 years. The first 3 years I worked hard and earned the highest grade possible. I was a sergeant in two and a half years. After just a two-year degree in business management I started my own business and worked hard at it, so there is no excuse hard work wins. Start where you are.plan your work and work your plan. set goals for yourself and only you can evaluate your own goals.
This guy literally pulled me out of the beta mindset and pain from a failed marriage by listening to his content.
I got therapy, lost weight, my style game popping, cologne collection growing and got my money all the way up after I started watching him 3 years ago. What I got from watching him, I couldn't get from my own absentee father and I fully understand why I grieve the brother.

Keep going!
You’ll get there brother! 🙏🏾 you can’t lose with that mindset
Take it from me: your mindset gonna go up and down brother. You won’t feel like doing it most of the time. The trick is to get used to the fact that it sucks as bad as it does but be ok with it. Otherwise, as soon as it really starts to get to you, you may think you don’t want it. That’s what happened to me. Once I realized that if I want to lose weight, I’m going to feel hungry, it got way easy. I looked forward to the hunger and knew it meant I was doing right.

Kevin’s content gave me a great roadmap for evaluating my life and where i was at and an ass kicking when needed.
I remember I was one of those guys complaining about women not liking me and a guy like me came on and Kevin asked a simple question “tell me about the last 10 women you approached”. He wasn’t talking to me but i had the same answer…i couldn’t remember the last time i did.

I wasn’t dumb enough to waste my beauty and not get married so I had and still have my husband but I got a personal trainer, I’m a better wife to my husband, I’m a better mother, and I’m in therapy weekly recovering from growing up black and in poverty and for the first time in my life the trauma has lifted with therapy. Thank you Kevin. I wouldn’t have these outcomes otherwise honestly.
sorry you grew up in poverty. Most of us did too.

I am proud of your hard work, my sister.
Keep grinding. Keep elevating.

It seems a lot of grown men are having trouble accepting something I realized as a teenager which is - you do what you’re good at, not necessarily what you love.
MelDeLino yes don’t know why everyone thinks they can do whatever. Not everyone can be an NBA star or rapper
@@slimebreezy83 Exactly but at the same i Can personally understand how that’s a hard pill to swallow
Generally you love what you’re good at?

I really wished I would’ve heard the military guys call-in, and explained what he was trying to say more clearly. Basically, I retired from the USAF in 2019, after 20 years, but during my time I earned a masters, bachelors, and two associates to set myself up for the government qualifications and experience side. The connections came during 10 deployments and talking with those already on the civilian side. Right now, I make about $1600 a month from retirement pay, a little over $3220 a month from 100% VA compensation (T&P), and I landed a GS12 position as a medical professional in March of 2019, 3 months prior to my official retirement date. My retirement pay and VA compensation is there for the rest of my life, and my GS job is what puts me over the $150k a year mark. That’s not including no property tax on my home I bought in the DMV. $250k a year is tough to make right out of the military, but if you take care of business while in, you could start off as a GS11 and eventually work your way up to that amount in about 5 years. I have a 17 year old daughter (18 next August...no more child support lol), and her college is already paid for due to my VA benefits. I own a rental property in San Antonio, which basically pays my mortgage and then some. If you’re in the military, please take care of business while in and don’t get comfortable.
I retire next year brother and I’m on the same track. However, I’m gonna go private contracting to make the most cash possible. I’m a 1N2.
DJ Kadilac good on you! My brother works for Northrop Grumman overseas and makes around $95k tax free. The military gives you opportunities, but you have to take them. We need to keep telling these young men to take advantage while in!
Medium Man 95k is good but I just got an LOI for 182k in AFG. My daughter is in AROTC, she will commission next year. I recruit all the time!
I’m glad you posted this because an ex of mine story is similar. He got his PhD during his 30 years in the military. When he got out, he obtained a job that paid him six figures starting off. He only works there once or twice a week. Between his job and pension, he was able to purchase several rental properties throughout Texas. He collects no less than $2k a month in rent. When I met him he was at $350k a year, now he’s at $500k. He also has an impressive network and has helped many young, Black men get pretty good jobs.
The military is a great starting point if you know how to network and apply yourself.
DJ Kadilac my brother! Not surprised at ask to meeting you here again. Haven’t seen you since BAH
This was uncomfortable to watch... but only b/c with me being a Realist, this made me realize I’m not going hard enough. You really gotta dig deep to have massive growth & reach major heights

I prefer AMS path
@@ovandograham7793 AMS was no different.
Yes. I think the closest I can get to loving what I do is doing something that forces me to grow as a function of doing the job. I work in Software Engineering so my job is like 90% learning and implementing new technology under tight deadlines. It's not fun, genuinely it's fucking brutal mentally. But, it's satisfying because it doesn't feel like wasted effort.
The concept of accepting that someone is better than you at what you aspire to be and that studying them and doing what they say with no comment until asked to speak will organically improve you is a lost one today. My mentors always stressed how “paying your dues” and failing young is the biggest win you could ever have as a young man. That’s right failure is a blessing. Humility is a virtue in this world and those who have it tend to stay on their purpose a lot more than those who think it is a birthright to succeed.
This is truly the most important comment in the thread. Thank you
I've watched all of KS's videos and this is one of my favorites. Very knowledgeable and articulate. The aesthetic from the suit to the environment of his home is so comforting. I've just turned 24 and I have been watching since 2019. This man gave me a father figure I've never had, and he helped me grow and learn about me. Thank you and you are missed!
I'll be 24 in June. Watching all his videos. The value is incredible. And all for free.
What did u learn?
This video woke me up about my own value. I’m 33. No kids. My first job was at 14 years old. I produced and sold music and street hustled at 15-21. Worked in retail sales, hard labor on the port, Walmart stocking until i was almost manager, hotshot driving, Twic card for offshore , did college online for web design and mass media production and dropped out but still learned enough , did marketing, self taught stock market, big rig trucking , and fixed my own credit from reading , and was a shop hand and did everything including sweeping the floor so kind of a janitor. Also into advertising. My smallest check in life was $35 for a week. Got to a point where I couldn’t afford a value meal from McDonald’s. Now I currently now own a successful business and still growing with high standards for self and my crowd . I slept on myself . 🙏🏼 only because my motivation is the challenge. My real and only goal is to see how far I can go in life. What more can I accomplish is the question to myself and accomplishing things makes me feel better about me. Also had felonies at age 13 so trouble been dead. I can’t go backwards . My mother is disabled and my daddy was gone on crack so he wasn’t around . God good thought. Still needed to watch this video though. You have to go through to get to and from each experience you learn something different that you can compile into one big thing for your future . 💪🏽
Congrats brother!
Still can't believe this man is gone.
Rest easy 🙏

This is such an awesome video. Just a small story of my life. I’m currently 26 years old and in my first year of residency as a family medicine physician. I know right now the hours are brutal and the pay sucks, but I know 5 years from now that my position in life will only be the beginning.
I remember being so hungry for success at such a young age. At 17, I began taking college course and Working full-time beyond the hours I was allowed to in order to save up money to pay for my college tuition. I did not have a car, and I took public transportation everywhere. From 18 to 21 I worked 65hours a week between 3 jobs, went to school full-time, Did research, was a teacher assistant, volunteered, and after all the struggle during those years I received my acceptance letter into medical school. It was the happiest I’ve ever been in my life.
Even me, after making it into residency, I started to become complacent. This video today just revamped my motivation To going back to the gym consistently and strive to learn as much as I can in residency so when it’s over I can focus on the business aspect of medicine. Thank you Mr. Samuels.
You got it. Make a dream board and surround with successful, honest and God fearing mentors and keep on track!
👏👏👏
Hey any updates future doc?
I remember a few months back when I listened to this I was honestly scared. The idea of it all, everything that KS lives by, it scared me because I was behind. Today, I go to school, I have an internship in the career field I want to be in and I still work a part time job on the weekends.. ALL at the SAME time. I get tired, I do, but like Ks said, the satisfaction of going to sleep TIRED because I work for 3/4 of my day is much more rewarding than having an extra 5 hours of spare time to do God knows what. Today KS message resonates with me at a different level than the me from before. Thank you, Kevin. Rest in peace 🙏🏽

After listening to this show, ultimately it seems like these brothers just lack guidance. They want to improve and do better, but dont know how or even where to start. We all have the potential to be great, but without guidance and certain values instilled in you, you become a lost soul. We need more older and experienced brothers like Kevin giving brothers the real. Wish I had known some of these things in my younger years. Very enlightening show.
Males..especially Black males from fatherless home often don't have that support system to help them succeed in life.
Obama even said many times that he would have never become President if he didn't have any male role models in his life giving him advice, and a support system.
We just can't expect people to become successful if they never had the support system in place.

Listening to this episode is full proof that guidance is crucial during our teenage years. We chose what was easy and now we paying for it. It's not too late though, time to MAN UP and put in the work. Laziness aint never helped nobody
This is wisdom!
To become a high value male you have to make sacrifices. Straight to the point, get in shape mentally, emotionally, physically, and financially. That means go to the gym, get therapy and work on unlearning whatever is holding you back, make smart investments and save money. You need to surround yourself with people who have the same desire to grow, evolve, to unlearn, to grind. Stop being unrealistic. If it's not medicine, tech, law, Or a trade don't get the degree
That doesn't have a majority of people making 100k and up.

If i may give my 5 cents to get a lot more of you brothers moving - I spent most of my 20's playing video games etc - Dont let your past decisions and what you did then define your future - What you did back then, is what it is - Let it go and start a new - I see so many people living oppressed from their past decisions - Start working on who you want to be now.

Kevin is talking some real shit on this one. I drove a cab overnight in NY for 4 years while I pursued a BA degree during the day. It set me up for where I am today. If you’re a young man getting started, do the work, go through the pain. It’s worth it.
I started dressing up in suits casually because I like the way it makes me feel. Confident, powerful. ALOT of people look at me as if “Look at this dude”. But this is the standard I want the most for myself.
Kevin was adored by some and not appreciated by many. Like a brilliant comet he was not here for long. From him I re-learned the importance of staying in my lane and making the journey of my life as pleasant as possible because it doesn't last forever.

I made over $200k last year in 2020 with a business administration degree from an HBCU! I believe if you’re driven and focus you can get a degree in anything it’s about your effort and who you surround yourself with.
Did you graduate within the past 8 years though? I believe Kevin’s perspective is largely impart to the rise of access to information via the internet especially within the past decade. Apparently he believes that real life experience is more valuable than paying thousands of dollars on an overpriced degree that isn’t a guarantee in terms of risk vs reward. So many Americans have degrees in fields that they don’t even work in and mountains of debt. This idea was was drilled in the book, “Rich Dad, Poor Dad.” You’re fortunate compared to millions of Americans.

Guys, what do you know about to have a published article in a top 1% peer reviewed journal in STEM and then have to change countries and lifestyle and restart from the bottom?. And restart and have to work night shifts for an hourly wage when you were a STEM researcher in your formal life? You have to reinvent yourself and start all over again and make it to the top...again! It’s all about the mindset.
My heart is broken. But I'm still listening. 🙏 RIP
That sports management caller hits all the points of woman mindset. Talking abt passion, purpose, entrepreneurship, Master's degree.
Thank you Mr Samuels. Cried some tears listening to this bc I know where I need to go. I want to take care of my family if I make one, whether I'm loved for it or not. This is being a Man. Even if I don't become a millionaire, I need to compete I gotta make decisions. Thanks for the truths that slap you and make you upset. If feel like for you to keep saying all this stuff, it shows you love us not in that childish way we get taught from TV. Like real life. ✊🏾
Most improtant thing is to learn a skill that's in demand. For example a career in one of the following:
IT, engineering, Trades, etc depending on what aligns with your talents and interests.
Focus on building a CAREER, and not just doing another job. You want to keep building and moving up.
Besides that, keep on learning and developing yourself everyday.
Two very important books that can change your life:
- Interview with the devil (napoleon hill)
- Richest man in babylon
I'm 31 myself by the way, and just got admitted to university, starting a degree in IT this September. (Computer information systems, and Cybersecurity eventually. Easy to make 6 figures in these fields. )
Congratulations!
That’s awesome 👏🏾 I’m going over to google now to find these two books thanks!
This is very informational, I got into the trucking business in July of 2020 and what Kevin Samuel stated about blue collar trades to ownership is correct.
I tell people that is close to me that we are not playing on a equal field and folks is going to school for years to not even become white collar. Knowledge is power ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

Man it felt so good to hear that intro song. RIP Kevin, you are missed 🙏🏾
I know right! It’s strange… I love hearing it, but at the same time it’s painful to hear it. I miss him so much. RIP Godfather! We’ve lost you way too soon.
What song is this ??
@@chijinhoLu-Ni…”Money World”.
I put that song on my playlist before he passed. It made me remember to tune in to listen to his show. He was so consistent at that time. I watched him and Coach Greg Adams. Those 2 Men had me focused and achieving. Sad that Kevin passed so suddenly. This song reminds me of him now and to keeping thing consistent, productive & intentional.
Man your words will be missed, you have made me a better man & have changed my life for the better with your words. You made it to the Most High enjoy your life up there with him and rest easy big fella.🙏🏿👏🏿🔥💯😇
At 25 I had a job at a restaurant but I was working 60 hours a week as a team leader going to school full time taking four college classes. In small business management. At 18 y.o. I had a full-time job as a fried cook , a no where a job, so I joined the military for 6 years. The first 3 years I worked hard and earned the highest grade possible. I was a sergeant in two and a half years. After just a two-year degree in business management I started my own business and worked hard at it, so there is no excuse hard work wins. Start where you are.plan your work and work your plan. set goals for yourself and only you can evaluate your own goals.
when you been winning for years and didn't know it.
your words will build families that extend generations
Or when you thought you were winning and didn't know it
Seriously can’t believe your gone man smh you were so necessary for the culture. I feel like I lost a friend. Damn S.I.P king
