Brandon Soto and I have been friends for more than a decade. We grew up together and ran together on the middle school track team. One day in Jr. high, Brandon and I walked home from school together. I don't know why. I rarely ever walked home, save for a few opportunities to do hood rat shit with a mob of friends. But this time it was just me and Brandon. I can't remember the details of our conversation, but it was heart to heart and a brotherly bond was established. We stayed in touch after I transferred high schools. We even had a few conversations during our college years. Brandon has been a true friend to me. We have one of those friendships where we won't talk for months or years, but when we do it's as natural as though we had been talking everyday. He's always supported me and given me good counsel. He's a real SKUT guy.
I had been preparing to start my YouTube channel, but I was feeling anxious. I had all these big ideas that I had no idea how to execute and it made me not want to start. I was on Brandon's Instagram story and saw that he posted a YT video. I followed the link in his bio to watch it. It was his first video back after a long hiatus and he had decided that it was his time to start again. He chose a candid approach to introduce himself back to his audience it inspired me. He was explained what was holding him back and it was like he was reading my mind. This was my sign to get started so I did. I had to thank him on the podcast and chop it up because watching that video gave me the idea to start the podcast. We talk routines, self development, and more in this convo.
