I have a question for you, brother.
You'll have to let me know if you answer it on video - I'd rather you did not if the nurses and shit are watching, though - but
Do you expect to go back to prison? How long do you think you can sustain life on the outside whilst funding it through illegit means? I seem to remember reading you claim that you couldn't do anything but that, because you are a felon -but I have to think that is unlikely.
Reason I ask is that I spent a half hour with you last night, listening to what you say and I see a fella who seems decent enough but I also see a fella who is cruising for a bruising - and maybe having part of his leg missing is that bruising, but posting instagram ads on an account with a ton of pictures of yourself seems very brash when clearly, you have a good enough head on your shoulders to not be so foolish. Yeah, sure, who is browsing instagram looking for crime? It's just well, if you take risks like that - maybe you take risks elsewhere?
I guess there is a silver lining, though - you now have pictures a gigantic fucking hole in your hip, so I'm guessing that posting gear ads next to those photos will not be met with a large amount of business (regardless of the assertions that it was not your product)
Can't answer the prison questions on video and the business questions I can answer on video but I'd have to use vague terms.
Do I expect you to go back to prison? No. I do not. It is a risk & I'm hyper-aware of. Do my best to mitigate as many risks as possible. I don't associate, much less do any business with "risky" people.such as people who are involved with, or use recreational drug or even people who drink. All it would take is bigot stopped for a DUI maybe two stops at a DUI checkpoint or something and they of booze in their bloodstream or they get into a car accident or something and they have Coke or whatever that was in their center console now it's in plain view on the front seat on the floor and the officer sees it and any of those cases where the officer could search the car they may have certain products or supplements of mine in the car and because they get caught with the other stuff my supplements Maybe a little more rare for them to come across and the D.A. may want to get a "rare" case on his books or in his win column and offer up a deal for the guy who had a simple .10 BAC DUI, or had something as little as a quarter gram of cocaine possession charge. They're going to ask where the other stuff came from, "tell us that and will let the other charges slide." And what's that guy going to do most likely is going to point the finger right at me for my supplements.
So I typically deal with people who I know, more people I know of who are friends of friends and who I can bet. Typically people who use supplements have jobs and are stable because it takes some planning and foresight two deal with these products. It's not like somebody is buying a few doses of Drol at a time every single day, or a bottle of Cyp every single week, and a bottle of Tren every other week etc... Riskiest person I've dealt with is "Barney" (we all called him "Barney"... the purple dinosaur, because he run moderate doses but his blood pressure was sky-high and the dude was more purple than me when I'm on full blast). I've known into it with Barney since 2011 and he's a solid dude, about 51yrs old ( a large percentage of my clients are in their fifties, come to think of it. And you know what? not a goddamn single one of them behaves like "Be There" does) owns his own business, owns his own home, takes care of his shit and has like three or four Sons. all in their early twenties including one kid who's not really his son but he's been a father figure to him anyways, & shit, even me at certain points over the years. Anyways he's a nice guy and had this girlfriend who turned out to be a crackhead a legitimate crack addict. After they broke up he let her sleep on the couch in one of his downstairs spare rooms because he didn't have the heart to kick her out on the street despite her being a huge liability and constantly causing fights and doing anything she could to aggravate him. Including getting to a point where she called nine-one-one and had him charged with domestic violence and I believe the charges were dropped however she got a restraining order put on him even though she didn't move out of his house and They confiscated all of his guns. Now this woman was well aware of what he used and what he had in the house however just like me he has friends in law enforcement and when they searched his residence and came across his products I forget what exactly happened but either they has what it was and he said "testosterone boosters" or they looked at it and said nothing and closed the drawer. I forget, but the fact he was never charged with anything... for Fox sake they didn't even kick the girl out of the house even though she had a restraining order on him and it was pretty obvious he did nothing to her there's no marks on her or anything and he's a big scary looking dude with a hot temper, but they didn't even make her leave the house even though she had a restraining order against him . (like I said, I have friends in law enforcement and things like that are easy to check)
Online stuff is rare, & but even then the people are vetted as much as possible. and if I unable to verify who they are, or what they do, then sorry, I'm "out of stock" or I'm "out of business".
Besides, online stuff is done as anonymously as possible. One of the most valuable tidbits of information and attorney has ever explained to me has been do value of plausible deniability. Which means I'm not the only one who may have the password and access to various accounts. Verifiable by postings and logins from different IP addresses different do you license website can tell what kind of device you are logging in from what model computer what model telephone etc. Hand upon search they may never find that model telephone or computer and may never find any record of you ever owning such a device. I do Run every business I'm in like a regular business, which means spreadsheets re; inventory, gross/net profit, etc... And I keep nothing where I live. I could explain to you how to form a corporation in Nevada (because Nevada corporations are somewhat "anonymous"... you'll have to Google that for more info), and pay yourself from that Co. I would need a whiteboard to probably explain how all that stuff works I know it have to wear a ski mask and shit while explaining it and post it on another YouTube channel and Link it to mine or whatever maybe the easiest way or else it be an entirely new thread to explain how all that shit works...... But, long story short is my main objective is maintaining anonymity. This is the internet after all and nothing on the Internet is real it could all be for entertainment purposes and I could be playing a role or character, same way Rich Piana played a character.
As far as risks are concerned items to business I take very few risks as far as the law is concerned or at least I try to mitigate those risks as best possible. But aside from legal legally speaking sure I take risks if you don't take risks you have no reward. Such as with investing When I was a Proprietary Equity Trader and managed a fund with quite a bit of money involved, even though it was other people's money that i was taking risks with, if something went South, not only did they lose money ( however never put myself in a position where they might risk their principal investment) but I will lose money as well in the form of fees & commissions... And it wasn't like I was in the position to be getting more investors, so whatever risks I took were very very calculated.
And as far as me being a felon, I don't have the same options everybody else has as far as careers go and employment opportunities go. Yes I am certifications and personal training and Sports Nutrition and I'm a licensed security guard, and I could probably spend less than $500 and within 3 hours have 5 new foo-foo certifications that aren't really required or recognized by many but at least they would look good on my wall or on my resume but at the end of the day they may account for 10 or 15% of me getting a regular job the other 85-90% lies on presentation, appearance, and my ability to talk. For instance my started prop Trading/day-trading, to them Not only was I a felon convicted of armed robbery and steroid possession, but I also looked like your typical dumb Meathead weightlifter who could barely add together the weight plates on a barbell, however when I started speaking to them and explain to him what it is I could and would do with their investment and Zara talking about profits, and risk management, PE ratios, quarterly reports, balance sheets, "shorting" stock positions, "long" positions, "alpha", etc... They were surprised & I gained their confidence (& produced excellent returns for them over the course of about 3yrs). The same way I explained my business two others and had my former business partner as well as the local Mexican Cartel "Jefe" asking and asking if they could invest 15 to $20,000 in my business once I showed them what kind of profit margin I'm running..... and the same way potential training clients look at me as a dumb Meathead weightlifter, until they hear me speak, and quickly realize I've probably read more than a few endocrinology, pathology, kinesiology, and pharmacology textbooks, and not only do I remember what I've read, but I understand it, and can explain it to them in a way that they, as a lay person can understand it. That being said my options, even getting my foot in the door, are still Limited. But, I do the best I can & I try to make the best out of whatever situation I'm in.
