The coolest thing is that Kevin reinvented himself after this video to be one of the most prominent voices for men. He practices what he preaches.

You will be missed …. You achieved your goal to get the conversation started on having better relationships. Thank you sir. Much respect ✊🏿

When you dress well, people think of you differently. And you think of you differently. It's a kind of magic.

As a man spending 5 yrs in Federal Prison and being apart of an organization for 11yrs I moved away because I’m a firm believer in you are who you surround yourself with. I literally moved to a brand new state and rebranded myself and now have a wife and kid’s and love my life. It’s true rebrand yourself and change for the better.

Doing that now.. in monk mode. Losing weight, making mad bread, and avoiding things that waste time. People have been accusing me of being “brand new”. All I do is nod my head and keep it moving

“Winners reinvent themselves!”

I found out about this dude like a year ago and, as a white 31 year old guy fresh out of the penitentiary with no direction or hope, he really did help me push my life in a better direction. Now I'm thriving and it's definitely due in part to this man

Changed my life forever, rest in peace KS🙏🏾🕊️

Yes sir! I had a felony at a young age (16) and changed. I didn’t receive a pardon until I was 37 but I got it.

"I lived in the projects, but the projects didn't define me." That's some good shit.

6 years later this message is in my feed,,, like new,,, timeless truth,,,

I am a woman who put down my boxing gloves and started to really listen. I have become more fit, feminine, beautiful, cooperative and inspirational. I am studying to be a feminity Coach and I have become engaged to a great man. I didn't agree with everything he said or every delivery but I needed someone to tell me the undiluted truth. No more sugar-coating. I did (and am doing) the Work. Thank you Kevin. Rest In Power Sir. Salute. 💙

I am a female reinventing herself. I lost 80lbs, carefully watch what I eat, I threw away almost my entire waldrobe and went shopping with a new style with high quality stuff. I only eat off high quality high end dishes and eat only high quality food. I am a minimalist but also take really good card of myself now. I invest in myself and know my worth.

I can testify that wearing nice clothes casually gets you a lot more respect by strangers or people in general

You are gone from this world, but your messages still live!🙏🏽🙏🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

I love Kevin's video, just what I needed at this time in my life! I was married with children, then I "hit rock bottom" after a divorce. Honestly I have not "thrived" for 10 years..My family was my reason for living. Then she filed for divorce, Not going to lie I was devastated.. I did not see that coming.. 2023 is my year for "CHANGE" ...THANK YOU Kevin.. I can "reinvent myself" , I can rise from the ashes just like a Phoenix..

Best way to start, move to a different state. Don't just move to a different town, or city, separate yourself by at least one full state from your current state. It's like sky diving, scary AF at first, but my oh my, it's one the most freeing things you'll ever do. Move, stay off social media and NEVER look back. Let's get it! ✊🏾

I did a terrible disservice to myself for judging this man. I thought his advice wasn’t for me until I went through serious heartbreak and had to revaluate myself and my life. I believe now, I am on the right track.

Don't be your OWN worst critic. Anything that you don't like, you have the ability to CHANGE it. Anything that's viewed as having value and being worthy is taken care of. Look at yourself as being valuable and worthy to take care of yourself!!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!! MY MANTRAS LIFE LESSONS FROM A REAL DIAMOND 💎 There's a REASON WHY this video was in my Playlist. I will keep his legacy going. As I have been a melanated woman pouring into the community and overstand how everyone doesn't value that.

Even on February 26th, 2023 this man’s message still has the capacity to inflict reflection and positive change. This will live on for much longer than any of us, and for that I’m grateful. Thank you Kevin for truly giving your all to help your fellow man. Rest in power, sir.

This video came across my timeline today . 3 days After his transition. this is one of the most powerful messages that men need! Rest in power KS 🏆💪🏾

He has an important message for everyone not just black men or women, I'm a white 58 year old British woman and he has helped me reevaluate too.. he will be missed rest in peace Kevin

I miss you Kevin 😢 you are one of the reasons I changed my life around thanks for everything you showed me how to be a man ❤ rip mr Kevin I hope your watching over me from heaven.

You already finished your assignment KS...most people cant say that. You did it all and transitioned. God bless you and your family. Rest in Power!

This year I've been making smalls steps to reinvent myself; working on my credit, saving money, cut out negative influences, having more confidence, planning to get on diet plan, slowly switch up my attire and get knowledge from brothers like Kevin.

I miss kevs livestreams. Damn man. The impact you made on the black community will not be forgotten

This is a terrific pep talk for ANYONE: male/female, black/white …. Even though he directed his material to black men and women, I’ve always found KS’ coaching transcends those lines. RiP 💫💐

Mr Samuels is so on point 100%. Right up to my 40s I use to wear trainers all the time, going on a night out dressed with my shirt hanging out and thought I looked the business, one brother told me I looked messy for the physique I have, he introduced me to a stylist, my life changed from that point on, Trevor the stylist told me, wherever you go you be the best dressed man in the building, so said so i done. I dress in suits, blazers, double breasted blazers, roll necks, trousers shirts most of the time I tweak my clothes at my tailors, fit is king, and that's how i feel when i dress...... The king. All on a budget.

I started at 412 lbs in December of last year and taday im at 348lbs bacause you helped me realize that i can be better. I wished i discovered you sooner. Thank you.

" you carry yourself..the way you look..at yourself"!!.....love that!

It still hit different, respectfully r.i.p.

“You can reinvent yourself” this is the phrase and video that was most impactful mentally. Now that Kevin has transitioned, we gotta show his efforts to teach us didn’t go to waste.

U have reinvented yourself again sir. Rest In Power 🙏

He's the Uncle we loved but feared because he never lied about anything.

God bless this man in heaven for nurturing the neglected community of scorned Black Men.

Just got recommended this video after his unfortunate passing . May he rest in peace . He was one of those few men who told the world the ugly truth they needed to hear and didn't give a damn about what they thought of him . Godfather has given his wisdom before passing, let's honour his memory by being the best self we could be . Don't let the "woke" or "intellectuals" tell you what's right and wrong . Make your own future so that the future generation could learn from your past. Rest in Peace Godfather🙏

I just started listening to him for the last 2 months and it still feels like I lost a family member, that's how hard his message resonated with me RIP Godfather

I just love how he said I lived in the projects but the projects didn't find me I'll be using THAT thanks Kevin rest in power

America is a very forgiving country. Period.

Joined when the man had just 40k subscribers. What a ride it was seeing where he came from to seeing where he reached. It was truly an honor. You had the sense that you were part of something that will be remembered long after we’re all gone.

Nipsey Hussle (R.I.P) said it best... No matter what you been thru no matter what you into, I gotta tell ya you got something to contribute

I am a Hispanic male but man I get a lot of great points and content from this man! As a minority myself that was raised by a single mother with no father in my life, he speaks a lot of truth to males in general! Definitely lost a good man too soon! RIP 🙏 your legacy will definitely live on for years to come!!!

This video has gotten me out of a very hard time in my life!! Thank you Kevin!

We need more men like this telling men how to be men.

This might be his best video. Years before he blew up. Incredibly fun to watch his success. As a fan, I feel robbed that we wont be able to see what he was going to build. Peace to his family, RIP Kevin.

We needed more years of this man....🙏🏾 Thankful that we have his videos...

You have be at a certain level of enlightenment to innerstand his consciousness thank you beautiful SOUL ⚖️👁️💚☯️♾️

People will go back in your catalog and realize you were ahead of your time and appreciate the work you put in. Rest In Peace Mr. Samuels

This is most real person to come out in the social media and public eye in a very long time….

We needed you!😭 Rest In Power 💔🖤💚

THIS MAN WOKE ME UP. NOW. I READ MORE. I EDUCATE MY SELF IN MANY AREAS OF INTEREST TO GROW AS A PERSON. THERE IS NO ONE TO BLAME.....JUST RESPONSIBLES. I TOOK MY LIFE SERIOUSLY. I REFUSE TO WASTE MY TIME IN FRAGILE SUPERFICIAL WOMEN. LOVE YOURSELF.

Rest In Peace your gone but your work still helping ppl like me who only just finding you. Nothing like a fearless man

FACTS!!! You sometimes have to move away from "home" in order to reinvent yourself. Being in my hometown was a comfort zone....way too damn comfortable!! Moved to LA and lost 152lbs!! Started working in the field I paid 85k to be degreed in, and have found that the world is completely different outside of St. Louis Missouri.....

COVID-19 lockdown is a great opportunity to reinvent yourself. Excellent video, thank you for sharing your experiences.

One of the classiest guys I've ever looked up to for guidance. Thank you for giving us guidance brother. I know my worth because of you. SIP.

this is what us men of all ages but especially the younger generation such as myself need to hear!!! Much respect

My Heart Is Heavy!!!, This Is How i Discovered Kevin!!!, My Head Was So Low That Day!!, He Uplifted My Spirit And I Followed His Message Every Since, These Are Nothing But Gems!! He Really Hand A Heart For Men Improving Themselves, This Is Nothing But Instruction And Positivity!!!. GOD SPEED KEVIN...

This came into my recommendations and I'm glad I watched, very powerful truth. I went through a divorce and took 5 years to rebuild what I lost. 2 years ago decided to stop feeling sorry for myself and make a change. Stopped drinking and smoking, started working out and slowly replaced my entire wardrobe with higher quality fabrics and pieces. One of the best things I did was started to take everything to a tailor to get it adjusted to fit my body correctly. Now as you say, I have ppl showing me respect they never did before in public situations and the ladies have taken notice as well. At 47 years old, I'm in a personal renaissance and on my path to make myself the best version I can be. Whatever motivation it takes, do it fellas. You only have one life, make the change today.

I'm on that path thanks to you I'm 35 heading back to school...

Unc Man U helped me so much I changed my whole thought process because of u

This is the video. This started my journey . RIP Godfather.

You're the reason why I'm currently reinventing myself. I'm sad you're gone. RIP King!

I keep saying this and I will say it again.. I wish I had found the Godfather 20 years ago but thank Christ Almighty I have found him and his wisdom and his podcast and his videos even at this stage in my life! He has already been a tremendous blessing and his messages already taking hold and I am seeing a difference

I used to rock suits etc. But wasn't received.... my brother just gave me the strength again to get back to to it. Look the part, play the part, & live your truth... I Hear you Brother 🤝🏽

First video in my feed today🌹🌹🌹 Rest In Peace🙏🏼🙏🏼 thanks so much for everything

Rest In Peace God Father. Saddens me that I just came across your pages but I’m happy I caught your last live . I will use your words in my everyday life and I will reinvent my image of me thanks to you. HVM is now how I live my life. So thank you again Kevin.

Love and respect Mr. Samuels. I can't express how much this video and its message means to me, I needed a spark of hope. What a life you lived and your still helping men even after you have passed on.

Best advice at the best time. Just these word changed my mentality and my life.

Writing a check separates commitment from conversation. -Warren Buffett.

My God we’re going to miss you💯💔

I’m still in disbelief. Can’t believe I’m sayin RIP Kevin 👼🏽 🙏🏽

I miss him so much.

The amount of knowledge this man has. He legitimately could've been a college professor. Gone way too soon, R.I.P KS.

R.I.P Legend you are truly missed Dear friend / Father figure ! 🙏🏽🫵🏽

As I sit in a bank to handle some buisness. I truly see the difference of respect and attentiveness that I'm shown by dressing well, smelling great and confidence up doesn't go unnoticed. Thank you KS for shining a light on appearance. 11-L.O.V.E!

I just discovered you today(22-06-2023) Rest in paradise KS 🕊️

You never lose, you only learn.

Much love Kevin. I had no father figure growing up. And I have been figuring out life alone guessing it. You got me back into reality to reinvent myself at 31 years old. I have an accounting degree and listening to you made me decide to get my CPA. I will get it by 34. I have no kids. Last year I had a mental breakdown with depression and anxiety. Now I’m going back to work. Thanks for your dedication to inventing yourself so we can learn from you first hand.

Rest in peace man. We lost a real one

5yrs later the algorithm still pushing this video… Rest Easy

How could this world be so cruel to this guy??? Nobody ever was told to get their shit together before? This guy was all about building up the black community and being the best version of yourself to get the outcomes you want. I just don't understand the hate.

"Show me your wallet and I'll show you your priorities." Love this quote!

This idea of one reinventing themselves has popped up on my timeline 3 places, im stumbled upon this video but I listened all the way thru. I can honestly say it has changed my life. Your gone my man but thank you for the value you have brought.

This might be one of his most important videos. Rest in piece Samuel!

He is so right. I reinvented myself and started dressing for the job I wanted and not the job I had. God blessed me and allowed me to get promoted into the position I currently have.

RIP Brother. I learned a lot from you. You will be missed.

The MAC is still here with us ppl gone but not forgotten

R.i.p king salute.... I needed to hear this

This man legacy will live on like Patrice O'Neal those types of people leave a lasting impact and Kevin Samuel has shown black men we can control our image.

I literally cried watching this. You spoke to my soul. Thank you, Kevin.

This is exactly what I want to do but didn’t know how thank you for this content. I’m a beautiful women but don’t carry myself or dress apart. I put off doing a lot of things that could of made me level up. I have been afraid to move for years. I recently travelled and now I feel that I’m ready to make that step.

A King that came out of nowhere . That took us thru Covid and gave some of us men a new and different conversation. Kevin gave the black family the spark now it is on us. Thank You Mr Samuel’s RIP. You are blessed.

I miss him so much. Rest in power and thank you for your service

Yes indeed!!! I'm currently in the process of reinvention and I'm loving it. I cut off toxic ppl, I eat better, I only talk to family but once a month with the exception of my kids and my parents.

I’m in this process now. It’s hard but I’m determined to become the best version of myself.

Kevin and my old man passed around the same time, both about the same age, wish I had videos of my dad like this . I do find some comfort hearing Mr. Samuels. Rip brother.

RIP to Our Brother

Funny thing is I reinvented myself without realizing it in my mid 20s. I was living in east Oakland but running errands and going to school wearing blazers with 400$ wingtip boots and eyeglasses with no prescription. People treated me differently. They moved out the way, said “excuse me”, complimented my shoes..etc. It makes a difference. I walked with more confidence and exuded it. White, asian, black, Mexican women couldn’t place me. It makes it hard for them to judge when you’re wearing something different from a dark hoodie and some Jordans.

We need more people like him in this world

You were an exact gift to this world. Many of us are better for encountering you. Rest easy Godfather. Eternal love for you.
