Bro, where do I start? You are one of the greatest storytellers. You have the power to captivate the audience by being authentic and vulnerable. You have taken us on this journey of navigating life in the city, balancing career goals, creative goals, self-love, and improvement. The way you have organized your life needs to be studied. You set goals that are attainable and valuable. You give us great visuals of the city and beautiful Urbana and historic areas. Watching your videos provides the viewer with a burst of New York energy. The journaling is healing; I’m proud of you keep going. Writing, in general, provides a liberation that nothing else in this world can give. You inspire Black men to know that therapy is okay and part of healing, growth, and support. Congratulations on your collaboration with Google, and know this is just the beginning. 🙌🏾

Bro...I don't typically watch 40 minute videos on KZfaq but I watched this whole thing and it was dope! Love how you were able to weave in your storytelling over a month of time and still provide a valuable takeaway (especially for creatives 🔥) Know the variety of shots took a ton of time and effort to plan and shoot. Keep it up and can't wait for the next one. Connect soon 💪🏾

and im glad you weren't rushing like the other content creators to rush and get their content out for the new year. This just seems so genuine. and thats what hits home. for me at least.

It's been two months already since 2024 started, and I haven't even come close to starting my goals. I still have hope that I will start soon, but I just don't know when. I might take your advice and write my goals on paper, like "manifesting." The ending letter really resonated, as anyone listening can probably relate to it, even if it's just a year between and you're not the exact same person year after year. I enjoyed the visuals and the overall structure of the video. Can't wait for the next one! Greetings from Peru. 👍🇵🇪

I honestly manifest a huge channel growth for you this year, cause the amount of thought, the execution, the quality you put into every video is INSANE

@14L45: "the 2 week point is where people start falling off..." yup right with you. @19:09 liked how u showed the scar. @24:50 love the expressions. @29:35 some car guys in the background with the neon BMW and the defender .. @31:33 that smile that goddamn smile. @33:55 "statistically we don't go to the doctors" ...my family felt that. @36:50 that was heavy. Loved this one, as always. Quality.

You’ve easily became my favorite KZfaqr. Fire content and amazing video ideas. Keep it up bro 👍

I just fell asleep listening to two of your videos ….. your content is so on track and not all over the place and I’m here for it .

The editing is 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯

I love your deep tallks!

I love how you find all these spots !

BRO YOUR VIDEO EDITS BLOW MY MIND.... ITS THE SIMPLE DETAILS FOR ME 🙌🏾

Amazing. That's the only word I can write here. Life has many roads, and the only way to know all of them is by living the life. And you show this from a unique, personal point of view.

Positive flows through you D. Good job❤🎉

Another amazing video, another amazing story chronicling your life 🙏🏻

Been waiting for this

Bro, you’re one of my favorite KZfaqrs. Thanks for being open with us and adding value. Im inspired

Your videos are the pretty much only ones I don’t change the speed of, lol.

Hi, i'm from Italy, Rome.I love your videos, they inspire me so much. Keep it up!

Felt this one heavily, Keep up the awesome work!!!

Your videos are so calming 😊❤

Bro, The video is Amazing, 40 Min and everything seems calm and nice .

Great video. I love the storytelling. Keep it up. Proud of you young brotha.

super dope! super inspiring- helped me to be comfortable in not rushing my own content🔥fuego

Man, you are a true inspiration. If someone asked me I couldn't even tell what your videos are about. I mean I know what they're about but there is so much to them on so many levels. I discovered your channel with a video about how you use your iPad. It was a great video with many different perspectives. Then I stayed for general vibe of your videos with beautiful shots of New York. But I keep coming back to your channel just for your ideas and opinions and stories. To be fair, I don't agree with a lot of what you're saying but I still get your point and totally understand what you're trying to say. I think that's the highest mark someone can get - even though people don't have to agree with their opinions, they still like to listen to them. Keep doing what you're doing. You are an inspiration 👍

The cinematography is getting better and more stylized with each video.

Whats good bro. I just found your channel. Your content is authentic, raw, and organic unlike other content creators. It definitely hits different. Keep up the great work 💪🏾.

fire video as always, much love!!

I found this channel through the iPad video and went down the rabbit hole. I was def feeling the vide and checked the description to see if you listed the music and BOOM! Once I got the playlist on Apple Music, that inspired me to WALK to my daughter’s school 2miles away UP HILL too, and listen to the music. So I from the time I woke up I was battling anxiety symptoms, and each free moment I’ve had today I’ve returned back to your videos. And I sent your channel to my cousin who is also a spiritual soul. I’m 20 years older than you brotha and you were some of my inspiration for the day! Keep killing the game. I’ll be back for more.

I loved everything about this video!! I even got teary listening to the letter to yourself. 😭😭🔥🔥 I’m happy you are taking time to reflect and be present. The blessings are definitely overflowing! 🙏🏾🙏🏾♥️♥️

Good Morning David; "HAPPY BIRTHDAY ". So good to see you with that CONFIDENT SPIRIT , PROCLAIMING ALL THOSE GOOD THINGS, GOD HAS GIVEN YOU TO SPEAK. You're a picture of Success, and you Inspire me. "GOD'S ABIDING LOVE" ❤ ENJOY YOUR DAY

I am so inspired right now by you bro

yo bro, wow....can i just say i've followed you for a while now and i gotta say this video has hit me deep. Deep in a way that i can relate to what you've been going through mentally and spiritually. Life is about disappointment but it is about how to bounce back or get up from those disappointments. Personal growth for me is a huge plan for me now that we're 2024 and i have realised i have to start taking the time to do ME and stop trying to please everyone. I like your aura and the way you portray your vulnerability to your audience and thats a powerful thing. For years all i ever wanted was to have people to like me and to have a large crowd of people who i consider 'friends', now, i've cut off so many people after realising that those very people who i considered 'friends' were actually not good for my soul and mental health. Now i believe its about quality rather than quantity and i've become so much more of a bigger person since focusing more on myself. Watching your content has enabled me to realise my worth and i thank you deeply for that. Also, as a 42yr old black man i've experienced a lot of life but i know i have so much more to experience and i'm for the first time excited about it and its your content and vulnerability that has opened my mind and one's self to let myself become exposed to life because without trials and tribulations, the ups and downs how can you grow. Without set backs, disappointments, and everything considered a negative is actually a positive. I thank you bro for enlightening me and showing me that its ok to be vulnerable, have bad days and set backs, as long as you stay focused and continue to work towards your personal goals and growth we all will strive and reach new hight's 🤙🏾 keep up the good work son 👊🏾

I’m interested in your cardio fitness journey progress. Mine sits at 30 and doesn’t move no matter how much I run. I’m not a marathon runner and my pace is slow, but when I searched online there are a lot of really fit people complaining their cardio fitness is low or below average on Apple health. Good luck and I hope you hit your goals. Super inspirational video as always.

“Even though your shoulders are broad - don’t carry unnecessary weight” 🔑

My Brother, I found your channel last year and it took off from there!! You have motivated me to get back on my you tube grind!! I see GOD taking your Channel and craft to big things, keep pushing and stay consistent!! Keep going bro, us as a whole community we need you!!

So so so good. Your vulnerability and transparency on this platform does not go unappreciated. Thank you for consistently slipping who you are and your personality into your content. It makes it so easy to buy in to everything you’re sharing, reviewing, etc. And of course, as always, the quality is a 100/10. Someone get this guy on da big screen. *yells*

Literally just just decided to stop procrastinating and waiting for perfect conditions to start my KZfaq journey...whilst watching this video bro! You've been inspiring me from a far for a while & I wish you nothing but blessings this year my bro!

so good

Amazing video man. Really inspired me to stay discipline and keep going.

Personally, I believe that goal partner, someone that you are accountable to is essential. Its true what you say about grinding in NYC. Sometimes you need that voice that says, Lets meet up at the coffee shop and grind and toss ideas. Sure you can do it yourself, however as said, sometimes you can lose momentum, inspiration and that extra voice becomes essential. Also, as you say "burn out" can occur and its choice to have that person who has the same drive to know when to take breaks to recharge and then jump back into the grind. I most times find it a challenge to find those like minds. And I realize that most tend to have different goals and feel when you team up with another to support that it takes away from them or worst yet some feel and believe that you will succeed first and leave them to dust. So I struggle with fiercly staying consistant.Great video and inspiration

2:53 ai go craYyy

Salute black man! Loving the channel and the drive. May God bless your journey.

I see that we share a lot of similar values and priorities. P.S. NYC is beautiful, every part of this city.

Your videos always feel like movies, I really want and hope that you achieve everything you set yourself to. These videos are gems in a lot of way, you always make me think about life in a certain and deep way. I really love it because sometimes I lose that vision and way of thinking and thanks to you I always come back to how I want to think and live my life. Also, the letter you wrote to yourself is beautiful and came with a perfect timing, I think I needed to hear it.❤

Bro these chill shots sitting in the library and cafes are dope, blessings to your growth in 2024 💯

bro, my English is not particularly good, but I enjoy watching your videos! Gooddd vibe

Just wanted to thank you for sharing that letter at the end . Although it was to yourself it helped me reflect on myself. Continue making videos I look forward to them 🙌🏾

beautiful. I am new KZfaqr as well. its amazing to see new youtubers like you winning. it puts in a perspective. inspired

Glad, I started this video this morning. I love your style, because it allows me to reflect on my life as well. This could really be your year to blow, because long form content is the wave. Appreciate you sharing your journey with us. That's very cool that Google recognized you, keep pushing brother.

Amazing as always bro! keep going 🔥❤️

Hey man, just a quick note - I appreciate you and your videos. Stay strong!

Bro dope vid!!! Keep striving for greatness. You have gift !! Don't stop. I'm very proud of what you will accomplish. Big fan bro. #GreatnessComing Also can you please tell me what songs are in your vid!

David, my man.. I really thank you for this masterpiece of video! I am totally stunned by how nice you built up the story line and the end had a grown man completely stunned. I really can relate to most of the stuff you said and I really hope that you accomplish everything you want in life. I am also very focused on self-improvement, especially this year and I really am inspired to continue no matter what after watching this video. I wish you all that you want from this year and a very nice start into the next week. Wishing you all the best from Germany. You're a legend.

the ending letter to yourself..loved

Loving these videos! Keep up the great work!

I've been looking forward to this video for the longest. Great job so far (still watching). Your editing is top tier.

The cinematography is insane also the end of the video was sooo good i wish u the best in 2024 and keep delivering videos ✌🏼

This was very beautiful. I will rewatch this a few more times. It's amazing to see someone do what I feel I could have done when I was 21 and now 31 seems like an impossible feat. It gives me hope that even if I don't make it where I want to be. That I will get to enjoy the ride with you while you fucking crush this thing called life.

Awesome. I’ve been looking for to this and you created another amazing piece! So well edited. Congratulations on the Google collaboration… good things happen to good people. It also shows the power of writing down your goals and focusing on them. Your letter to yourself is deep and powerful and so true one my own personal level. I’ll be referring back to that a few times, I can guarantee. Wishing an amazing 2024! Looking forward to more amazing content. Be strong 🦁

Your content continues to amaze me every video! Thank you for always being intentional with what you put out and leaving us viewers inspired. I'm so excited to watch your growth, 2024 is definitely your year!

So good man! I appreciate the time and intentionality you put in to this. This is refreshing content. Looking forward to more.

Just discovered you and will definitely follow all your content, it’s great!! All the best to you from Paris France

Great content!!!

Thank you for another beautifully made content once again. When I'm busy and doing something alone, I just play one of your videos just to keep me away from my thoughts which helps me manage my anxiety and keep my focus. You are my "better help" if that makes sense hehe Thank you

Amazing video bro! It felt like you were talking to me too when you read that letter to yourself. Motivated me to become the best version of myself and to not give up on my dreams. You‘re an inspiration to many people, keep going! ❤

Not giving up my free time for a few pennies anymore because you ALWAYS end up overworked (wearing many hats that you didn’t even warrant ) and undervalued.

29:30 Powerful God bless

Great content bro 💯💯

smooth video homie

Love your videos! Just one little thing: Your voice is much quieter pitched than the music in your videos. Maybe that's a thing you can change for future videos. Looking forward to all the content that will be coming in the future!

you're my favourite blog ever!

Amazing video and it is really a life lesson video as well as food for thought. You have insights that are helpful to all, my hats off to you good sir. Keep grinding and keep making these videos.

Been following you since you had like 3k. Your content is absolutely amazing and soooo goddamn entertaining. Your storytelling, your videography, everything. Keep up the work my man :)

The realest of the realest KZfaqrs 🙏 love the content

Chase your dreams bro you won’t regret it

bro this was crazy - again and again and again and again and again

Great vids man what’s the home workout program you’re following.

Love your videos! Also, how did you speak in the library so casually and calmly.

Never comment on ppl stuff but great work bro

Sick Video Man!!! Are you wearing a smart ring at 20:46? I'm thinking of getting one. Which one would you suggest?

Very inspired by your work, you've shown you care more about quality over quantity and your videos align with that!

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Staying where you’re at will be the best option. I look at is as the flesh vs the spirit. Your flesh would love more money because of course it’s NYC and it’ll help more but that would take away more time from what your spirit loves to do & since we are in a constant battle with flesh vs spirit we gotta cut off what the flesh desires. Staying where you at and continuing to pursue your passion which you want to make full time is what will feed your spirit, all because of the faith you have that you will succeed in this passion which is one of the keys to keep receiving the blessings you are now. In simpler terms you’re showing God you’re relying on him. He took you from 3k to 21k and the way you’re headed you’ll be at 100k in no time. Keep going fam 💙🙏🏽💯

💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💯💯💯
