0:00So, as a man, you got to create your own

0:02luck. Okay, this is one thing that I

0:05don't think is really talked about very

0:07much is like creating your own luck and

0:10understanding that it's okay that you

0:12have desire.

0:14Okay? It's okay that you have desire.

0:17Let me give you an example. I'm going to

0:19show you a photo of me when I was real

0:21young. So, this is one of the first cell

0:24phones that I had. It was some uh

0:26Samsung Android. And here's me, okay,

0:30smiling ear to ear. That's what I wanted

0:33was hot women. Okay, now I show you that

0:36because that was me, okay? I think that

0:40that photo was about 2013, maybe 2014.

0:44Okay, so what did I do?

0:47I sat down. I looked at every area of my

0:49life real quick. And for some reason, I

0:52like knew how to do this at a young age.

0:54I don't know why. I just did. Like most

0:57guys were like partying and stuff and I

1:01did that too, but my mindset was always

1:03like, "Okay, how do I use this party or

1:06how do I host the party or, you know, if

1:09it's my party? How do I use this as

1:13status or popularity to make my dating

1:15life easier?" Okay, you've seen me in

1:18other videos talking about how you as a

1:20man, you have to stay above the

1:22conversation and not go into the

1:23conversation. This would be an example.

1:26Most guys go into the party. So, they're

1:28just looking at having a good time. What

1:30I always did was I always took the

1:31party, okay? And I was like, "Okay, if I

1:34had it and I hosted it, how can I use

1:37this to stay kind of above the party?"

1:39So, it's like they're coming to Casey's

1:41party so I can leverage this to have

1:43some status.

1:45Whether you like how that sounds or not,

1:47I don't really care. Okay? You have to

1:50actually create your own luck a little

1:51bit. So, one of the first things that I

1:54did right away, okay, at 18 years old,

1:57um, is that I became a real estate

2:00agent. This isn't something that I talk

2:02about very much, but I'm going to kind

2:04of show you how this comes full circle.

2:06What you have to stop doing is you have

2:08to stop beating yourself up so much that

2:11you're not where you want to be in life.

2:13And you have to kind of let life unfold,

2:16but always keep your nose to the

2:18grindstone and work hard. So that way

2:20you're rewarded for your efforts. Your

2:22efforts right away might not pay off,

2:25but you're going to learn what not to

2:26do. So I'll show you a couple photos of

2:28me, okay? This was me as a real estate

2:30agent. I was 18, okay? And I did this

2:34for a few years now. The reason why I

2:37show you this is because right away when

2:38I became a real estate agent, the first

2:40thing that I was telling myself is like,

2:42"Okay, I'm going to outwork everybody."

2:44Okay? I'm going to outwork everybody.

2:46That's what I told myself. I'm going to

2:47outwork everybody. So, in the office at

2:50the time, like this was a lot of years

2:51ago, but I was the only one doing

2:53content at the time. I was the only one

2:55um filming, you know, almost daily. And

2:58I was doing this because I knew that the

3:01fruits of my labor would pay off. So,

3:04I'm going to be 30 this year. Um, I've

3:08now been on camera like filming myself

3:10and speaking. Like, if I look at all the

3:12jobs that I've had for like the past 10

3:14years, okay? And this is just important

3:17because like in life, you're slowly

3:19rewarded. So, then here's a picture of

3:21me. This was at 18. This is when I got

3:23my first ever commission check. Okay?

3:26And I was just smiling from ear to ear.

3:28So, at the time then I was like, "Okay,

3:29this is what it feels like to now have a

3:31little bit of money." I was like, I got

3:33my first commission check. I actually

3:35proved to myself I could make sales.

3:37Now, what this did was this increased my

3:40confidence in business at the time. You

3:43might be saying, "Well, Casey, I watch

3:44this channel. I subscribe to this

3:46channel for dating content. You don't

3:48get it. You don't understand that how

3:49you do one thing is how you do

3:50everything." Okay. Simultaneously, as I

3:53was a real estate agent, I was really

3:56into bodybuilding. So, I'll show you a

3:58couple photos of me. Like, I was ripped.

4:00Like basically um I went from having

4:02like a really bad physique and looking

4:05really bad to like basically turning

4:07into like a Chad. Like I was just

4:09ripped. Um I had longer blonde hair. I

4:13had the pretty boy look going.

4:16And the reason why I got into

4:18bodybuilding and into lifting weights at

4:20the time at this time, you know, this is

4:22like 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, is like I

4:26wanted a better dating life. And I'm not

4:28ashamed to admit that, right? A lot of

4:30guys they say uh

4:33they say, "Oh, I lift for me." Well, I

4:36didn't. I lifted cuz I wanted more

4:38booty. And I don't care how that sounds.

4:42That's what I wanted. Okay? But you can

4:44see like here, look at me. This was me

4:45at 17. Look at me smile ear to ear.

4:47Like, you don't even know what your best

4:49self is going to look like yet. Okay?

4:52Now, listen. I went from looking like

4:54that, okay? to looking like this in just

4:59a few short years. So like mentally I

5:02still had the image of like uh in my

5:04mind I was still like a younger guy but

5:07like on the outside like people treated

5:09me way differently. Men respected me

5:12more. Um you know dudes would want to

5:14hang out with me and party all the time.

5:16Like when they looked at me they just

5:18naturally assumed that I attracted a lot

5:20of women. And it's because in person all

5:24of a sudden my dating life changed so

5:26drastically. I was attracting way more

5:28women. Now, how does this correlate? Why

5:30am I showing you me at real estate and

5:33then me looking ripped?

5:36Okay,

5:39it's because I was doing both at the

5:40same time. So, while I was a real estate

5:42agent,

5:44despite me making money, okay, most guys

5:46they look at career as one thing that

5:48they do and they're done. me I look at

5:50life as an ever evolving kind of

5:52structure. So simultaneously as I was a

5:54real estate agent I was growing my

5:56online fitness business. I started an

5:58online fitness business and I was

5:59constantly recording myself um and I was

6:03constantly giving um fitness videos and

6:06I had you know a bunch of clients at the

6:08time and I was building that

6:10simultaneously. So I was actually doing

6:11two things at once. So like I'll show

6:14you a couple more photos here. Um, you

6:16know, I would take all the all the

6:18photos and I would do all the things,

6:20you know, to show my fitness journey and

6:23my physique progression along the way

6:26and how I was eating and how I was

6:28structuring my diet and all that stuff.

6:30Well, naturally, okay, as I was doing

6:34both of these things,

6:36obviously what happened was like my

6:39dating life started to drastically

6:41improve because

6:44how you do one thing is how you do

6:46everything. So that ambitious mindset

6:48that I had with being like a real estate

6:49agent right at 18, then all of a sudden

6:51I was like, okay, you know what? I've

6:52proven to myself I can make some sales

6:54doing this. I'm really good at fitness,

6:57too. I want to do this. Simultaneously,

6:59as I was getting better at fitness, I

7:01was obviously dating more women because

7:03I was looking more attractive. Well, as

7:05I was dating more women, I was figuring

7:07out what to do and what not to do.

7:10So, everything was tied together. See,

7:13that's the thing is like most guys, they

7:14don't actually take that first step in

7:16actually doing something. But had I not

7:20done the first two journeys, I would

7:22have not had access to going on as much

7:25dates or having as many relationships

7:28and learning what to do and what not to

7:30do. All of the mistakes that I made

7:32along the way in my dating life is what

7:35fueled these videos for me to figure out

7:38what to actually talk about, for me to

7:40figure out what to actually teach, and

7:42for me to figure out what to actually

7:43show. So, the thing is is like most guys

7:47simply

7:49do not give themselves permission to

7:51start. And you're looking at ambition

7:54the wrong way. You're looking at

7:56ambition is like you either got it or

7:58you don't. And I'm here to tell you that

8:00every day is just as hard as the day

8:01before.

8:04Every day is an ever evolving journey.

8:07And when you start to look back down the

8:09road and you start to look at your

8:11three-year progression from where you're

8:12at, I don't care what it is. I don't

8:14care if it's fitness. I don't care if

8:15it's finances. I don't care if it's your

8:16dating life. You as an individual, the

8:19older you get as a man, you start to see

8:22how everything's connected. How you do

8:23one thing is how you do everything.

8:25Okay? I was like the only one doing

8:29content when I was a real estate agent

8:30and I was working hard at it every day.

8:32That same mindset of like I will go hard

8:34every day translated into the gym. Well,

8:37when it translated into the gym and

8:39people saw my work ethic, it was super

8:41super easy at the time for me to get

8:42fitness clients, no one at the time was

8:44doing this. See, nowadays, there's a

8:46bunch of fitness influencers and stuff.

8:48In my hometown at the time, I was the

8:50only one that I even knew of who was

8:51doing this. So, I was just constantly

8:54coaching people, helping, and it was

8:56easy because how you do one thing is how

8:58you do everything. and that success that

9:00I had of really really busting my ass in

9:04real estate and making those sales and

9:06figuring out what to do and like being a

9:08teenager entering into a market like

9:10that. Well, all of a sudden I was like,

9:12"Okay, I can use that same work ethic

9:14and I can build my body." Well, now I

9:16can use that same work ethic and I can

9:18build my fitness business because I

9:20built the body. Well, hey, I'm getting

9:22way more choosing signals and way more

9:24women interested in me. Well, guess

9:27what? All of a sudden, I can use all

9:29this stuff that I built to now figure

9:31out how to have a better dating life.

9:33And I'm now getting access to way more

9:35dates. Whoa, I can now see mistakes that

9:37I'm making and mistakes that I haven't

9:38made. And the wins that I had and why

9:40those wins occurred.

9:43You're not where you want to be because

9:45you think that ambition and you think

9:47that success is something that you

9:48either have or you don't. And I'm here

9:50to tell you that it is an ever evolving

9:52journey. And most guys don't look at it

9:55that way. they don't look at it that

9:57way, which is why they're not where they

9:58want to be. I started to notice

10:00everything. It was like my fitness

10:02journey. I was like, now I notice like

10:03my face transformation, okay? How I

10:05look, you know, now all of a sudden I

10:07notice like um,

10:10you know, different different style and

10:12different things that goes into, you

10:14know, the shape of my body and what

10:16clothes looks best on me, things like

10:19that. All these things connect. But you

10:21got to understand that at one point I

10:23was just like you.

10:25I struggled with the exact same things

10:27just like you did. I didn't like how I

10:29looked. I didn't like how my voice

10:30sounded. I didn't think that I really

10:32had any skills. I didn't think I was

10:34good at anything.

10:36And it's because at the time I wasn't.

10:38But I had that raw material. And as long

10:41as you have a mind and a body that's

10:44able to do the things that you want to

10:45do, it is your job to put those steps in

10:47place and do them. And it will be hard

10:50and it's going to be really tough and

10:51it's going to be really bad and it's not

10:53going to feel good. But listen, I know

10:54what it's like to be at the complete

10:55bottom. I know what it's like to be at

10:57the bottom and hate your life and hate

10:58how you look and wish that life was

11:01different and not have the type of money

11:04that you want to be making and not have,

11:06you know, the dating life that you want

11:07to have. And I know what it's like to

11:09look in the mirror and not like how you

11:10look and not like your body. And I know

11:12what it's like to completely have the

11:14opposite effect.

11:16And all of that came from understanding

11:18that life's a journey, okay? It's not

11:21just a destination. And I understood

11:23that ambition bleeds over into

11:26everything that you do. Okay? How you do

11:29one thing is how you do everything. A

11:31lot of times what I've noticed is like

11:32if you take a guy and like let's say

11:34he's had success in one area, a lot of

11:36times he can learn different principles

11:38that he can copy paste over into a

11:40different area in his life. But you're

11:42going to have to humble yourself. You're

11:44going to have to humble yourself and

11:45tell yourself that, you know, it's not

11:47going to be easy and that it's okay to

11:48start from the bottom because we all do.

11:51We all do. Don't let anybody fool you

11:54because anybody that you see, okay, who

11:58has success at something, it was not

12:00easy.

12:01And the thing that I want all of you to

12:03know who is watching this video is I

12:05want all of you to know that God blessed

12:07you with different skills. God blessed

12:09me with a certain set of skills. And

12:12your skills might look different. In

12:13fact, they probably will look different.

12:15And that's okay.

12:17They probably will look different.

12:19They're going to be different. That's

12:21okay. It's your job to find those

12:22skills. It's your job to dig deep and

12:24find those skills. And every single day,

12:26you ask God for the strength. You say,

12:27"God, show me my path.

12:30Show me my path.

12:32Show me my skills. Give me the strength

12:35to to fortify

12:37myself to get to where I need to be."

12:39You actually become someone

12:42um not of [clears throat] influence, but

12:43you become someone that other people

12:47see that there's certain things that

12:49they should emulate. And that's

12:50powerful. It's powerful because the

12:52people around you actually start to

12:53uplevel. The people around you start to

12:55uplevel. That's what you're going to

12:57notice. So, where am I going with this

12:59video? Okay. You're going to have a lot

13:02of people, a lot of different I don't

13:04care if it's dating coaches, I don't

13:05care if it's influencers, you're going

13:07to have a lot of people over the next 5

13:09years tell you a lot of different

13:11things. You're going to hear about the

13:13latest trend. You're going to hear about

13:14the latest tactic. You're going to hear

13:15about the latest stuff. This stuff that

13:18I'm talking about stays true forever.

13:21This is not built on some quick fix. Oh,

13:24just text message this. This is not

13:26built on some tactic of, oh, just say

13:28this.

13:31This is like the internal guts of what

13:32the man is made up of. And you as a man,

13:35your masculinity journey, if you want to

13:37call it that, it's ever evolving. But

13:39you have to be the one to initiate these

13:43things in life. Nobody went out and took

13:45the real estate exam for me. I studied

13:47that whole summer by myself and I passed

13:50on the first try. Nobody did that for

13:51me. Nobody built the online fitness

13:54business for me. Nobody spent the

13:55thousands of hours in the gym for me.

13:58Nobody spent the hundreds or thousands

14:00of hours of tracking their macros for

14:02me. I had to do all this.

14:05Even if you look at this channel, every

14:06single video that I made on it, you

14:09know, thousands of videos. No one did

14:10that for me. I did all that by myself. I

14:13sat here and recorded all of them. And

14:16the fruits of your labor pay off and

14:17you're rewarded in life when you just

14:19keep chipping away at things. See,

14:21that's the other thing, too. I think

14:22that, you know, a lot of guys, too,

14:24you're in this shortterm mindset where

14:27you think you either got it or you don't

14:28based on the next like influencer who

14:31maybe blew up, right? The next

14:33influencer who maybe blew up. Like, um,

14:36you know, you get there's a new dude

14:38every month, right? or every couple

14:40months who just like, oh, it looks like,

14:41you know, they just had this instant

14:43success. And maybe that's true for some

14:45people, but you got to remember in life

14:46since life is ever evolving and how you

14:49do one thing is how you do everything.

14:51You will see the most life ROI by just

14:54keep chipping away. You keep chipping

14:56away on your goals. You keep chipping

14:57away on everything and you don't give

14:59up. And when you have that mindset, you

15:01don't need instant success

15:04because you just keep chipping away.

15:06Every day you wake up, keep chipping

15:07away. Next day you wake up, keep

15:09chipping away. The sun goes up, you

15:11realize like it's another day and

15:12everything's going to be just fine. And

15:13you keep going. You keep going and you

15:15keep going and you keep going and you

15:16don't give up cuz you have no choice.

15:21If you are anything like me, you

15:23understand what I meant by this video.

15:26You understand what I meant by this

15:27video.

15:29And if you're a young guy watching this,

15:32understand that if you can just look

15:34long term, if you can say, "Hey, what

15:36are the things I got to do every day of

15:38my life for the next 10 years to

15:41hopefully have character traits and

15:42discipline that last me a lifetime?"
