What is your biggest takeaway from the video? Please comment below. "talk ish and get hit" You've been warned.

Clear proof that all young men need strong fathers in the household.

The sad thing is that the guy who thought the only thing it takes to be high value is to get bad chicks doesn't think he said anything wrong.

Listening to this is like listening to the women who rank themselves a 8+🙄😂 I was waiting for the smack!

As a 23 year old listening to these grown men In their mid to late 30s try to go against what high value means is sad. Come on, who raised these dudes?

They talk about the delusional women but these dudes on here are delusional too. "Character" arguments are for broke men. Trying to redefine high value so that you can try and fit yourself into the umbrella of high value, or trying to get rid of the idea of a high value man is for men who don't want to compete. Men like these callers are your competition and they are the reason our image as B Men is so poor. If you're 30 years old, broke and think having sex is an accomplishment it's no wonder B Women don't respect B Men.

The feminine mind set in some of these younger guys is unf**** believable. There is a great deal of work to do.

Kevin is trying to help improve the mindset of black men out here. I wished I had a mentor like him during my teens. God bless this man. He’s waking black men like me up. To me, it’s about self improvement. If you want to be a High Value Male, put in the work while you’re young. It’s a shame that he has to continue to explain what he’s about. When dealing with the average black American men, it’s hard work and heavy lifting. Please stop arguing with this man.

A lot of Beta’s called in. You’re either a high earner with all that extra’s or not. Nothing to get bothered by. Cannot change what is. Simple. I’m no where near a high earner or high value. This is why so many of us needed active fathers. This emotional reaction stuff is out.

The term "High Value Man" has people in their feelings because society's standards are so fluid & "subjective" nowadays. That's why people have a problem with Kevin drawing a hard line; Either you qualify or you DON'T! Just because we all bleed doesn't mean all men are equal. Don't get triggered, get better.

All men, if they are productive, have value. The question is who qualifies as 'HIGH' Value according to the group. Men have & always will define what High Value is, and Kevin has laid out the general metrics men have historically defined 'High Value' by. Tonight, I learned the following: 1. Many despise being ranked according to a group standard of success or value. 2. People pick & choose what they want to hear and tend to listen with their feelings first. 3.We in Black America (ADOS) tend to define value as good vs bad, moral vs immoral, attractive image vs. unnattractive image. We seemingly despise the social & financial metrics of HV because historically we have been handicaped in ascending in both realms. Context matters here and should be taken into consideration. Its ashame how many ppl have misconstrewed your message to the extent of interpreting that if they don't meet the historic definers of High Value that you are somehow saying they are less than as ppl or not valuable at all. Its even more shameful how many ppl have flat out lied about you & your rhetoric just to create drama for content. Its clear this show was frustrating for you but I think this was an important discusion to have. Thank you for hosting this conversation.

How can this, 'high value ' even be a debate? These are the same black men who will spend money on 'Jordans' instead of 'Walmart ' trainers because they know that the concept of expensive things puts them in a different bracket. We need to educate our people.

Wow I missed this live. I can’t believe that older guys don’t get what Kevin is saying. I’m 25, I know and accept the fact that there’re rankings amongst men. I’m not a high value man, but I strive to be. I live by “if you want it, do the work to get it.”

Our community is in terrible shape

Mr. Samuels: “High Value to Who Sir?” The Caller: “The Universe!! " Mr. Samuels: 😳🤦🏾. 😂 These shows have been the highlight of my last three days. I haven’t laughed this hard in a long time! 😂 His reactions are everything!

wow No one could let go of what WOMAN think is high value. black folks will associate everything with high value EXCEPT MONEY, ACHIEVEMENTS, and community. good show.

The topic of high value is to feminine men what the topic of weight usually is to masculine women. Something both sides will argue against til they’re blue in the face despite not having a leg to stand on...

These brothers are sad, sad, sad!!! Never knew so many brothers were so mentally behind and have never really had their thoughts challenged. Great job trying to educate Mr. Samuels.

The first 2 callers is what we in the Military call "Window Lickers."

This show just laid out how some of this men callers don’t understand the word HIGH VALUE MEN with laid out criteria smh

There’s something about telling someone to be the best version of themselves that sparks so much emotion from feminine men and masculine women. If they put as much energy into being the best version of themselves, they wouldn’t have to waste so much energy making up excuses and deflections.

Regardless of your tax bracket, men must aspire to be better and more competitive. And every man should want to be high value even if he falls short.

My take-a-way is "The men who don't have money is highly upset with the ranking system".

I’m really thankful for the guy who called in, makes 6 figures and said he was not a hvm. It really separates this concept from just finances

I'm crying laughing at the Jerome sound bite lololol

Some of the callers are attaching value to their man parts and sexual prowess.

Wow, now I see why he mostly does women only call in shows. These guys that call in are total jokes!!

If you ain’t HVM , don’t get emotional , get better!!!

Keep doing your thing brother! The bar must be raised so the Black man can aim high! There's no disrespect intended here! Peace and love from Chicago!

Educate these lost minds, KS.

That "science teacher" was PATHETIC!!!!

Man, these dude callers are embarrassing, can't even comprehend. Not everyone is HVM, deal with it, we all know that. Either aspire to be or move in your lane, eish. To think the female callers were bad, the dudes are equally embarrassing. The black community is in deep trouble with these mind sets.

It seems to be increasingly apparent that a number of the gentlemen are basing their value on their local community value (e.g. belief system, comparison with those in their jobs, etc) rather than global market value or at least a larger proportion of society.

The military shows u the ranking system fellas geezzzzz!!! Come on!!!

your death does not feel real man....... i am feeling so sad after you passed. i realize im talking to no one and this is part of the grieving process but you will always be part of my life godfather..... rest in peace

Yooo my man said “effing bad chicks” is high value. That man ignorant

Sadly, my takeaway was men in their 30's sounding broken. Fellas, either you want it, or you don't.

That first caller was definitely describing himself lol

Wow these dude are clueless, but real men know that these dudes don’t have it and don’t want to do the work.

These dude’s want money so they can get women 🤣🤣 you’re supposed to have a purpose lol then you get women. If Kevin said low value men get women all these men would want to be broke 🤣🤣🤣you should be trying to attain that list regardless of women

Rip Godfather. Your content has been life changing for me.

bless you heart Kevin. There was a clear *iq* gap between you and the callers. These guys were total morons. Your patience was commendable.

It's levels to everything the end. They taking it too heart the high value concept just because you don't meet all the requirements doesn't mean you worthless you just at a different level that's life.

Love this channel! I'm not black, but this applies to all men

Ranking is everywhere. College weed out classes and the work place. I work in the professional sports industry and I have to continuously prove myself every single season to get credentialed. It is highly competitive and cut throat. We are also ranked and it's like this for every one. I have thick skin, find out what I need to do to be the best and work hard. Some people don't have the stomach or fortitude for this. Ranking clearly displays who is the best and who falls short. This is life.

And there you have it-The BM “Participation Award-Seekers” on display for all to hear and observe.

Wow, many BM are just as delusional about money as BM when it comes to beauty. We been hell on BM about their weight and entitlement to top notch men. These brothas are no different, it’s embarrassing the unwillingness to be better

This video CLEARLY shows why Kevin made a definite (on purpose) switch to talking to mainly women. I have found on other videos that the men who call in, generally sound SO confused, not very confident and basically not intelligent (and I’m truly not trying to be insulting). It’s like they completely miss the point (frequently) and that causes them to ARGUE (like a woman) totally in their feelings. In this video, there were several guys who kept arguing about what a HVM is because they were missing 1 or more of the requirements and tried shoehorning themselves into being labeled a HVM. Like one guy kept going on about being “moral” and arguing that because he had morals, that made him high value. KS killed it when he said men of other belief systems would not be able to be HVM based on that logic. Even with that, he STILL argued… like a woman. He comes out and says “what about a young man who doesn’t/can’t make that kind of money, so that’s not fair”. Like really?? He really isn’t using his brain. This repeats MANY times in this show and almost every other show where KS had men calling in. As annoying as many women tend to be, and some sound really dumb, they generally aren’t as arrogantly dumb as some of the guys calling in. This guy complaining that he has to “work his way up to be HVM”. YES!! That’s the whole point of his show, he tells women all the time “this man had to work hard, 80 hours per week, slay the dragon to BECOME a high value man”. How does that align with being one of the “rare black high school teachers”. If DOES explain the strange phenomenon of almost EVERY woman saying they had or did have a HVM! Odd that 90% of the women who call in were able to get a HVM… that means they’re not rare right? That’s opposite to what a high vale man is. These guys are confusing HUMAN VALUE with HVM. If you’re not a HVM, it doesn’t mean you’re a bum or a good person. It just means you aren’t in THAT category. You’re still a good person, a good man, a good parent, a good husband, but you’re NOT a 1-5% man!! 👍☮️

You say that this program isn’t for guys like me.. I disagree. This show is exactly for men like me. Men that take that hard look in the mirror and ask themselves: “how can I improve?” I stay taking 📝!

Hi Kevin, loved the show. I was most surprised by the men that had a different definition of the word high value. It's unacceptable to be sitting on anyone's couch with no network or critical thinking skills. I think it was refreshing to hear from men for a change.

What is so hard to grasp about high value these guys are nuts....

Lots of people don't want to be accountable or set universally competitive and acceptable goals and classifications...Step on a scale if you don't like the result - commit to change it thru work.. I got a lot of work to do... Classic, I would have thrown that new tablet against the wall, 6 commandments and all. Keep up the great work KS. WoooSaaaa...

Oh lord...if anyone asks why Kevin doesn't have men call in more often, just link them to this episode.. this was painful

First caller: Men like him don't want women as life partners, they want Mother figures. Failing that, they don't want a feminine, submissive partner, they want to subjugate any women they are with. Men like him are quite dangerous. Superficial and immature. You must strive for greatness.

Kap Solo in 2010: "If you ever take the conversation from talking about BW to talking about BM you will see what BM are made of."

People are out here making these esoteric, spiritual arguments for what high value is while they're at home but then go and spend 1/3 of their waking hours at work at a job they hate slaving away for material and physical value. Black delusion is what's holding us back.

Principles and morals are the tools of the creed and poor -Niccolo Machiavelli

High Value Men are the most seeked and respected in every species in creation. Even birds.

These are 30 something year old men talking like this 🤦🏽‍♂️ I’m glad I found Kevin in my 20s. Rest in Power.

They don't want to face their own mediocrity. That's sad because it's the only way to chage your station in life

A hard working man will pass up a talented man every time!!

Thank you for the mentoring Godfather. You give examples worth of emulation and give a blueprint to become a HVM.

Men are legendary for being in their feelings when their rankings are brought to light. It’s nothing personal. Stats are stats. Great show GF! I learn daily. Thank you.

I like listening to these male callers. They're entertaining lol

HVM = You did the work. Made the connections. Sustained it. Understood KS

As an HVM, #4 and #6 are very important and requires WORK. These two drive #3. And the three of these accrue to #5.

Kevin is so patient!!!! I’d have cut that first caller off real quick 😡

So...how is it that the teacher couldn't grasp the concept of what is being asked of HIM compared to what Kevin is saying? I mean...he is suppose to be a teacher meaning having the ability to analyse concepts and break down ideas as well as have a discussion and debate with clear points....that wasn't him "the teacher"...I don't understand.

So many men doing the mental gymnastics to convince themselves they're high value when all they really need to do is just work harder and develop ambition.

These calls were so hard to sit through.....sheesh. The calls with the combative/broken women are far more entertaining yet sad in their diluted realities as well, BUT, these dudes scare me.... All I know is, I'm gonna grind it out, find a way to fund some one-on-one sessions with the man himself and set higher personal goals for my next 5 years. Ain't nothing stopping me but ME. I suggest most of you other men do the same! 💪🏾🙏🏾

Put it this way anyone who is not a HVM and don’t meet those credentials are Essential workers

Mean, median and mode.... Too many people hear average and automatically assume something that is inferior. Just like average looking women too many of our men think that being an average earner is an insult. Additionally, it is a shame that everyone assumes that they are entitled to elite status. The truth that people ignore is that if everyone was 'the top' we would know no difference. However, unless we were a society of xerox clones then there will appear deviations from the standard and the norm. And that's okay because then we would see genetic abnormalities pop up.🤔 Then again maybe we already are based off the reasoning of these callers. Bottom line fellas, men are supposed to work. "....you don't work, you don't eat..."

Ayeee! Out here grinding. Missed the live. But enjoying the replay! I'll be back soon, family 👪

Notice that it's been almost 2 years since this video was posted, and it's still one of the least viewed videos on the KS platform. I can't help but wonder if it's because he's talking to men, and not women? 🤔 The man spits facts regardless of who he's talking to.

That 2nd caller had some nerve!!

I'm sooooo disappointed in these callers. They're literally making the same argument these women make. Sad.

I don't see that high moral standard and HVM are the same thing. The word 'value' in the blk community tends to mean morals. Value in the economic and global aspect is about money, power, control and influence. Some of the HVM will have morals, some won't. HVM for me is an exceptional man in many aspects, economic 1st, among millions of other men. Not a man just being the best among his peers or family, and definitely not the best in his neighborhood. These would be considered good men in my opinion.

Most of these calls were a disgrace.

It was painful to hear the callers call in. They pretty much don’t want to compete at all. It’s always been a ranking system and always will be.

Ok, we need a sound effect for that first caller and he deserved a salute😂

Lol 😂 the first caller is too too lame

It's clear that most of those callers weren't raised with a strong father figure. I can easily recognize them because I'm in that same group. Nothing wrong with that, but you have to recognize it within yourself and work on it.

This is some good talks. I'm very impressed with his delivery!

think the first caller was talking about himself. 🤣Why can’t some men just understand that that their not HV and everyone doesn’t have to be.

The issue that I see is that people have a huge listening, communication and comprehension issue. Many of the callers' ideas are disjointed and don't connect. There is a MAJOR communication issue in the black community. Slang is a major culprit -- words are never defined properly. Plus we deal too often in vague language "get your shit together" "he's high value to himself" etc etc. There's little precise thought, and frustration follows when asked to hone their argument to a fine point. Sales training is the greatest investment I made. It cures a lot of these ills you hear from the callers.

I really feel sorry,sad,, and mad at the young man who bases HV as to how many good looking females you can have sex with. That is such a loser mind set. I sure hope he doesn't have a son hes raising to have the same mind set

I understand what KS is saying on this. I consider myself to be a great therapist but ultimately, the marketplace dictates whether I’m successful or high value in some ways. It doesn’t mean I’m not a valuable person. It’s like when I was a Social Worker. There’s a term we assess parents on called ‘Good Enough Parenting’. It doesn’t mean every parent will agree with it but it’s a universal way of determining what MOST people would consider as a good enough level of parenting as opposed to what that parent thinks or their family or their community. Everyone is of value to someone in some way but if I get 100 clients in a month and my competitor only gets 3, we’re not on the same level.

I think the point that the callers were trying to make is that they view "high value" as something relative to the position of the individual in question. An example would be that an individual who would be considered high value in an academic setting would be considered low value in a battlefield setting if that person is untrained. People are looking at their value in relation to their own lives and personal circles versus the world as a whole. Great content brother Samuels. Much respect.

Gotta respect men who get into $22k/mo, high value network, stay fit, and have time to date. That insane work effort.

"Jerome in the house." 🤣

1:12:34 🤣🤣🤣 Kevin’s face at the end of the call

Even in thehood there's a class system

High value does morph based on geographical location, “the king” is just Lebron James In Ushuaia, Argentina but if you plan on living in a capitalistic country “United States”, then these qualifications will reign.

Establishing high value creates a standard and improves the quality of men. Whether you agree or not it’s necessary for our African American community. Kevin I admire you doing this for all men but particularly for us. Quality and high value goes have more success in the real world.

Wish I had someone around like this when I was a younger cat. Men and women don’t want to accept the truth. There always been a hierarchy. Our class system is no different. Our military, court system you name it and there are those at the top. In the middle, and at the bottom. What he’s saying is not hard to grasp. People don’t want to be reminded of where they are when it comes to their place in the world.

I love when you do a show on men. it shows that the delusion is on both sides of the fence.

After the first two callers I’m convinced that when men call in they sound far more delusional than the women. Jesus Christ.

You can't argue with what is being said here, it's not about kevin, he is just observing what's happening and what works and aligns his thinking with that. We can argue that his delivery is a bit harsh but the net-net of it is he is telling the truth. That's why even the detractors are all over the place with their thoughts and can't come up with a well defined solid clear argument.

Did this guy just say Jerome from Martin was high value??? Wow I felt Kevin's disappointed after that call.
