oh good morning guys let me tell you it
has been a lot harder to get out of bed
when it's this cold but we
Prevail let's get this bread
[Music]
well well well welcome to a freezing day
actually below freezing day in my life
here in New York City okay I can't make
this intro as long as usual because look
I'm not even kidding when I say
freezing it has not gone above freezing
for a while now so these blocks are just
frozen solid on every single piece of my
furniture like I should probably
actually I don't know if that's good so
without further Ado I'm going to go back
inside we are going around today we're
doing a combination of um what are we
doing a combination of exploring New
York City to the extent that is
reasonable and actually getting some
stuff done so let's go do it there is a
life in
City hurrying to cut my tea I can take
what I need to get by
doesn't make it
easy the other piece of my heart
slow it's
cold I just prefer when the sky is blue
instead of gray even though
[Music]
he's
guys I got a helmet this
one is collapsing more it doesn't get
super super tiny but better than full
size I cannot do that with one
hand all right just docked my city bike
right outside grar SE Park I wish I
could go in there so bad I mean I could
see what it looks like but it's only
open to Residents very exclusive I've
just been spending a more time in this
area and I really really love it kind of
gives you the best of both worlds
between really in the center of
Manhattan but also kind of quaint and
residential feeling look kind of sort of
except they're millions of dollars but
you know they're pretty to look
at oh love that hey what's going on guys

York but you know what you bright my

make the transition so thank you thank

[Music]
very famous ice cream spot in the city
cat
PA speaking of places and properties in
New York City and how much you love it
here are you thinking of buying anytime
soon or still renting for a few more
years well even though my stocks are up
a ton your every year I still see myself
renting for a while since I'm not
totally sure where and when I'm going to
settle but I keep hearing to put your
money into real estate wait don't tell
me about some complicated thing how
would I as an everyday investor have
access to that no it's actually super
straightforward I've heard that the I
Flagship fund gives everyday investors
like you and me access to invest in a
diversified portfolio of real estate and
their investment minimum is just $10 but
I can't take on any more projects right
now how would I even start I'm all about
automating things and creating passive
income this year and that's what makes
it different their expert team
identifies opportunities and handles the
backend for us and you just get to sit
back and view the updates as your
portfolio acquires new projects just
like with other Investments the more you
put in the more you could potentially
gain in the form of dividends and
terante I'll set that up sometime soon
then the whole thing takes like 5
minutes to create an account and start
investing so you can do it right now on
our walk just click the link in my
description thanks to the funrise
flagship fund for making this video
possible already signing
[Music]
up look how I ran
into
hello how's it going it's going I have
nothing to say introduce yourself I'm
I'm Dan
Blacky nothing damn right damn right
that is cool this is very planned
obviously yeah sweet
[Music]
okay filming in public in a coffee shop
so kind of whispering into my microphone
but for the first time ever I am hiring
by the time this video goes live I will
have posted this job application this is
for my first ever video editor and I
just wanted to talk to you guys a little
bit about my thinking on this so for the
longest time I have always followed the
approach of doing everything myself
because that's the only way it'll get
done the way that I wanted to and
honestly I still think that's kind of
true but I've got to the point where I
am stalling my own growth by not
evolving my mindset on this okay I just
got way too self-conscious filming in
there earlier which is funny cuz now
there's way more people around but I
don't know diffusion of responsibility I
guess basically my point was that I have
Believe It or Not maxed out the amount
of videos that I can produce and make
all by myself while still feeling like
they're high quality well edited not
rushed and leaving myself time for
maintaining my health and a personal
life if I dropped those two things at
the end there I could make more but I
refuse to do that and so to reach the
goals that I have set for myself I
simply need more hours back in my day so
what I'm hoping to get out of this
higher is exactly that something
resembling the 10810 rule which is
something I learned about in buyback
your time is the book I just read okay
so the 10810 rule as Dan Martell writes
is a simple technique you can use when
you still want to be involved with the
end result but you don't need to do all
the work on your own think of Designing
the cake versus decorating it then after
the majority of the work is done you
come in to add a few special touches so
how this would apply to me in the case
of hiring a video editor I would do the
ideation quite a bit more I would do the
script writing the filming and the
initial rough cut of the video then I
would have an editor come in and add
some of the fine-tune edits and then
finally I would come in and add my
special touches there's no way I will
ever let go of 100% of the edit I just I
love doing it too much I care about it
too much much but I think it's time to
enlist a little bit of help to get more
hours back and then hopefully make even
more videos and be able to work on other
things as well so I think what is
probably realistic for me in editing one
of my videos is more like 20 50 30 I'd
be happy with that but we'll see you
know
[Music]
because Dr a little
[Music]
exent workout changing back into my
normal clothes normally I shower here
which huge perk of coming to work at hes
is usually they have nice and Med days
but I don't have time to shower right
now I have a meeting that I'm going to
bring you guys to I'm actually really
excited for it but we will shower
tonight and put on regular clothes on
top of the sweat all right back on the
streets I've started doing that more
just shamelessly working out in the
middle of the work day which has been
amazing like I just go back to work
afterwards and I feel like I'm paying
attention to my energy levels and if I
feel like I need to move my body in that
moment I don't care if it's 3:00 p.m.
anymore I just do it and I always try to
remember to bring protein shake or snack
to eat afterwards forgot today so I got
one of the uh overpriced smoothies but
they're good and this has 38 gr of
protein good we
[Music]
meeting yeah hey guys I'm at smooth
media Global head borders with a bunch
of fantastic smart people on this cold
winter
day I'm batting really low
today hopping back on the old trusty
Steed also check out this snazzy
feature on the back
too yeah safety I asked my trusty seed
to stop for just a moment because
it's a nice view I'm like never around
Madison Square Park but it really is
quite
nice all right trusty Steve let's
[Music]
go sometimes I keep my helmet on for a
while after I dock my bike just cuz I
don't want to go through the whole song
and dance of taking it off in the cold
it's a song and dance okay I swear
[Music]
and for those of you who doubted me for
not having showered after berries which
I admit unideal all the juices or
anything it's like it's in here it's not
I still smell good and anyway the reason
I bring this up is because one of my
friends at the smooth office told me on
my way out that I smelled good I just
thought you should know my perfume from
the morning it just stays in my hair
that's the trick you got to spray it in
your hair so when you're giv someone a
hug or doing your thing they can smell
it okay totally
[Music]
irrelevant it's literally snowing
[Music]
now yeah I won't get you guys in it but
only your food
nice Chicken F simple plain delicious
every
time all right we are in for good let's
shower
finally I've never miked up a towel
before I was going to put a shirt on so
you guys wouldn't see my Eczema but you
know what this is real life I have
struggled with it my entire life so many
of us do struggle with it and if this
empowers even one person to be less
self-conscious about their eczema then
that's a win so read and weep dry skin
in in the winter is so real and you guys
do ask me about my skinc care and I talk
about it just a little bit the thicker
the product the better for my skin plus
I usually lock everything in with
aquafor on top or Vaseline whatever I
have at my disposal so I'm starting here
with hyaluronic acid
serum l r POS my favorite try to
remember to bring things down on the
neck I'm not so good at that New Year's
resolution pretend like my neck is a
second
face I'll explain also do you guys see
this try not to be too scandalous here
that's not really my style but do you
see that you know what that's from so in
New York City you can yeah you can't see
my butt in New York City when people are
done with their Christmas trees that
they have in their Apartments they put
them out on the street I guess that's
the case anywhere anyways I was in
Brooklyn the other day just admiring
some of the buildings that I was walking
past and I walk straight into with Force
I walk straight into the blunt bottom of
the freaking Christmas tree stump it
hurt real bad anyways y'all as with
every single night as part of my windown
routine I read for about 20 to 45
minutes sometimes longer if things are
really really good right now I am
reading all of the colors of the dark
this was only published a few months ago
I'm reading this to intersperse it among
some of my latest business books that
I've been reading these are the two
latest ones learned a lot would highly
recommend both of these I'll link
everything in the description but yeah
this is good so far it is 600 Pages she
thick which I didn't know when I ordered
it but making my way slowly but surely
it's a thriller coming of age and
historical fiction allinone it is
reminding me a bit of demon Copperhead
if you have read this kind of in terms
of the setting and the writing style
dang this is literally a workout what a
weird Flex anyway I'll let you guys know
what I think when I finish this and then
next on my docket after I finish that is
another business book called good
strategy bad strategy let me know in the
comments if you've read this and what
you what you think I'm excited to dig
into it though I've heard good things
would book reviews be fun would that be
fun anyway guys if you enjoyed this
winter day in New York City Vlog please
