“High value men are made by their losses” These words give me strength and new perspective

I’m willing to become a “High Value Man” and so I don’t oppose it or debate the idea. It’s helping me to grow. Thanks Kevin!!

I get tired of black people talking about the system being the reason they haven't made it or they don't even try. I am a black man that did specific work for a law firm that no one else did for them. I learned how to do things better than they did and I realized how much they needed my knowledge. I decided to leave and start my own consulting business doing what I did for them for several different attorneys because I realized my intellectual property was worth more than what I was being paid. I am literally the only black person doing what I do on this level. I know whites and other races of people look down on me due to my race, but I'm never going to let other black people get into my head about things our ancestors dealt with bring me down. Just because people say you are worthless is because you are black doesn't mean you have to accept it. Keep moving forward. I almost fell on my face starting my own business and the law firm I worked for that didn't notice my worth started using me as a private contractor because the replacements they got after I left couldn't do what I did for them and I'm literally the only black person that worked in the office previously. Stop listening to black people leaning on things of the past. Yes I acknowledge some white people and other races don't like us, but stop letting that keep you down.

KS is killing them with truth. Black men need to get our game up and compete.

The truth hurts. You have introduced the Black community to a class structure that is not discussed in our community. Hopefully, once everyone gets over the shock of the HVM conversation you will be able to have discussions with people who will appreciate your knowledge and apply it to their lives.

What a legend, his lessons will live on forever, sadly I caught on to his content late but the pointers are timeless.

I’m from Algeria, I’m 53 starting to work on it, never too late thank you Kevin 🙏

Kevin bringing High value will motivate black men to enhance our status

Getting offended at the concepts of high value is just snowflake behavior. I am so sick of this "everybody gets a trophy" mentality- what is so wrong with challenging yourself? The fear of failure is failure in itself, and as a man thinketh, so he is.

I started to listen your channel four months ago. I was really lazy in my career. Now my income has gone up 40grand because I'm working so much more and I got a better position in new company. Thanks for the motivation.

Kevin- I am late to the party. You are doing men and our Black community a great service by bringing this conversation to the forefront. More importantly, i am impressed with the professional, intelligent way that you communicate the concepts. Thank you Brother. Keep up the good work!

That Tyrion Lannister analogy was so spot on! Winter is coming!

I'm not High Value yet but I am well on my way. I'm a Solid HENRY working as a young (Nuclear Engineer) soon to be High Value. Thank you for telling it like it is Uncle Kevin.

I just said this on someone platform we as people have been conditioned to have that negative mentality about black men and higher values . I want my experienced men as Kevin to give the blinding insight on what has been going on since the beginning of time. Thanks Kevin and the many others who have positive feedback on these topics!

This man was on his way to changing the world

"the losses are what makes a fkin winner." I needed this

When he was taking to the young man about his father, that was some powerful stuff. As a grown man, if your father is in your life it’s now your responsibility to do all you can. Now if he’s a deadbeat, that’s a different story. But if you don’t have respect and reverence for your parents, your gonna have a hell of a time in the real world. I never knew my dad growing up. He took off with his drug habit before I was old enough to remember and I heard my mothers side for 30 years. Long story short, he found me and I made the grown decision to have a relationship with my dad and I couldn’t be happier. We got a long way to go but I’m glad I did.

This gives you a defined blueprint for young men to succeed.

I'm a elder son of 5 an a father of 3, I absolutely respect Kevin for asking men/women what does yr father says!? Before he could attempt to answer any questions. Thats Man shit.

As a average people I thank you for defining the meaning of high value. A man who is highly valued by the group of other highly valued men who can be utilized and used.

Once you get past the sting of being low ranking and "denied" to a degree... it gets exciting to think that there are real benefits to climbing the ladder. That, yes, we are not equal. And you also better your life as you better yourself. That it actually means something to overcome who you were AND that you can do it. What else would the incentive for going through a process as painful as self-realization be? Also I'm transferring to University next year from community college and I find it serendipitous that I stumble on Kevin's content shortly before doing so. I'm gonna put a strong focus on networking with as many people as I can. The school is in a wealthy area so there are sure to be High-Value peers and faculty. Oh and he also inspired me to pledge Kappa once I get there 🤟🏾💯

We are a community FILLED with emotional reactors and lacking logical responders. You doing a thankless job my man LMAO Salute

Kevin your a straight OG! Your doing what you say.. My General!

The basis of this all black brothers especially "GET TO WORK" lets improve our selves to the highest quality these earthly avatar bodies can be.

This is the hottest channel on KZfaq 😎💪🏾👑

Amen! Keep Pushing Kevin. I've beat my head up trying to get people to look at things from this perspective. People want to just feel good instead of dealing with the truth head on. Keep sharing your insight its very much needed.

@1:37:40 Facts! We need to be hungry and aggressive toward achieving our goals! We need to build and create! HVM leave legacies and create strong communities! Keep up the good work Kevin!

You're speaking uncomfortable truths. We, black men collectively and globally, have been shutout of the economic opportunities. We, therefore, try to compensate from an early age by focusing on shit that doesn't matter in the grand scheme but makes us feel good. We, collectively(with many many noteworthy exceptions), know that the competition is tough and many bow out. In the immortal words of Marlo from "The Wire" "you want it to be one way but it's the other. You are absolutely right, high value is ONLY a point of contention among men who have no value and know that if it becomes acceptable widely WITHIN our community they will lose the little they have. Speak on my brother. Glad to have found your channel through a recommendation from my high-value brother. Salutations

Ike is a highly intelligent man.

Kevin , you've hit the nail on the head. Best video I've heard in a long time. Thumbs UP!

O my 😆😆😆😆😆😆. Your subscribers tripled overnight Mr. Samuels. It’s a joy to watch you grow.

The concept of class has always existed among all cultures and civilizations. Some even had caste systems which were enforced even more strictly than just simply earning a certain amount. So this concept is ancient and thus it makes no sense for people to be offended by it regardless of who’s among such a group.

Don't let them pull you in that bucket

It was great to finally hear Big Ike!

27:40 listen for one minute and you’ll learn the best lesson Kevin has ever given. This is the absolute truth, race aside, always be a student of the game and adapt to changes accordingly. Oh and my fragrance of the night, Creed Aventus.

Nupe, this was a great video. You really said something when you called out men that haven't progressed since college.

Rest well, Godfather.

"lessor men will have to follow greater men" That is still okay because you will be heading some where great, as supposed to lacking vision and going no where.

Elegance! Yesssss! Gotta attest that this attribute definitely turns heads of the higher earners (six & seven figures). I'm so glad that part of the femininity movement is taking root with an emphasis on being elegant and lady-like as opposed to just "sexy" all the time.

“Some men move like women.” Yep, there it is!

As the white son of a Single Mother who had to pay her for my father's sins it is not only a negative on the Black Community it has torn up the White Community too ! Thank you for addressing the Single Mother's raising generally sub standard Men. It has helped me answer some questions that I have had. Thank you Mr. Kevin !

The godfather was cooking with hot grease tonight!

I honestly liked this setup and the videos back then more. Helped change my life around.

FYI: Tesla gave his patents to Westinghouse, they didn't defraud him. He was independently wealthy and didn't care about money.

I think we need to have a second term ... Term 1: High Value Man (HVM) = man of a consistent certain net worth and/or totality of assets (and network of other high income earners/groupings) that places him in the top 1 - 10% of all income earners (edit of course if don't like) .. Term 2: High Quality Man (HQM) = man with a desirable number (and set) of character qualities that place him among the top choices of his peer group (edit of course if you don't like)... I think this would help those who are less than enthused there is a HVM title in the first place. It would mean any man, regardless of demographics and income a man can be HQM but of course has nothing to do with being HVM which is first and foremost based on income

Shout out to the Nigerian that called. My brother 🇳🇬

10 out of 10 kevin anything that you've said regarding this subject you are spot on 👍👍👍👍

Two points about a network. If a person has a network of 20,000 low value people, what does he have compared to a person who has a network of 20 high value people? Nothing. What is the ideal size of a network? Having large numbers in a database but no connection with the people is meaningless. I believe a solid network is no greater than 20. Jesus changed the world with 12. I would focus more on the quality of the network and the roles played by those in the network. The concept needs to be fleshed out.

Hey brother Kevin...you see how you bring out truth and what our people do is attack the messenger....they did that too the real Jesus...that"s the nature of our people..I like what you said about not Entertaining the haters

I learned so much in this 2hr video.... many things that happened this last few years in my life make more sense now... I have so much work to do on myself...so much to do, so little time...

So true brother . They don't even know you 💯💯💯💯💯💯

Here’s the rip, “A students work for F students.” My Husband says this all the time, but he says C students!

Thank you for your advice and straight talk. I wish I was told this cold hard truth when I was younger, but I'm working on improving myself now and making the best of what I've got left. Btw I'm a persian-canadian guy and not black. I think your content applies to all races.

I'm glad I came across this man's channel. Here I've learned what it means to be a high value man vs. a passive beta male. Thanks, Kevin!

Does anyone else want to know who these moderates are? Great show!!!

A great show tonight, the penny is dropping keep tapping into that psyche that has been damaged by our past.

u get up every day for inequality.. u push yourself everyday to beat competion.. thats just nature so idk why this is such an crazed debate

Black men always want something valuable for free or discount. I’m glad they’re finally being told to STEP IT UP.

Team of Rivals is a must read. Effective conflict resolution is the key to success.

Mannnnn Kevin you are speaking golden nuggets... wow... everything is facts!!! Keep it coming, the hell with these low value losers! I’m dropping the mic now....

Kevin I don’t think you are arrogant. You just don’t take abuse on your own platform and aren’t afraid to call bullshit when others try to dish it out. That’s just being confident.and a lot of people can’t handle that.

100% agreement, almost high value VP of mkt software ( 175k, more then 10yrs 6 fig, 500 plus network LinkedIn , visibility, Lacking utilization)56, twice divorced, younger non black international women, no kids , happy searching

The amount of haters this man has is almost staggering. Quite a few KZfaqrs (men and women) have his name in their titles just to get those clicks. Geeesh!

hey Kevin that show you did on lets be friend was needed you should do more and expand on that subject.

All facts Kevin 💪🏽

I love this man- God Bless. A Realist

1:30:45 Ike a open minded dude and can do his own show if he wanted. From quoting Nietzsche to quoting the Bible. I also never considered using our lives as a type of business plan. 🤯🎊 It’s a good feeling listing to guys that don’t waste their breath. Great conversation, keep them coming Kevin! 🏆

This recording provides the clearest explanation of Kevin's notion of the high-value man.

Good stream Kevin They goona learn one way or another

Kevin laying some heat 🔥

I agree with Kevin this is standard that has been a round in our country and community for years. High value is money, influence and next work. If a Man is follows basic rules and stay focus he will achieve this. 1. Education to Economic key 2. Network fatetnal or career to access growth and development 3. What you do for others you can do for your self build your own business 40 career 20 your business. As community we survived off of a lot high value people who broke down door and set the mark. Do the work we started our own banks and system.

In africa we have social hierarchy even if it's a faux pas to say it. A students work for F students. It's TRUE today and it was true for our ancestors. "A man's beauty is in his cows" african proverb. Men with the most wealth and influence had the most wives. Is it fair probably not but it is what it is🤷🏾‍♀️

The godfather shot all the naysayers down. He truly was a high value man, forged by successes and failures, took risks and kept driving forward. Furthermore, he shared the truth and the knowledge to enlighten us all. The highest valued man of all!

I'm glad this got recommended to me today, even though it's 10 months ago.

You can have all the knowledge in the world and still be broke. If you don't have resources and are not business minded, you are bound to not be High Value. I'm 20 yeas old I love this channel.

Kevin makes a true point. My dad was a poorer black boy growing up in the 70's as the youngest child and got into the Air Force and was there for over 23 years going on 24 (23 years and 10 months and 19 days as he told me exactly lol) and he had bought a house or two and lived life and still had enough to make a life for himself the way he should've and now he works driving the local bus system here in Dallas area. Yet he got up and made something of himself when he was young and had a great job and did things that most black men will never be able to say they had. He went out there and made it happen! No ifs, ands or buts. So all these other black men need to stop playing about how they can't be anything when they aren't even trying to do what they need to do in order to change their lives they way they want!

High value men have a good grasp on Human behavior which is why the smartest people don't run the world. The men in power created a grading system with alphabets to allow people to think they are better and smarter Bec you got a certain "letter" on your test. These men know human behavior.

Run from any individual, group, entity or institution that tries to give you excuses for your personal failures. They are preventing you from learning from your mistakes which often are your best teachers.

I have been married 25yrs. I think you're doing a great job. If I'm learning,,,,,,

Good to hear Ike

They can't stand a MAN with wisdom

High value black men should be applauded twice as much because black parents for the most part don't leave inheritances or give success guidance. Guys like Trump had most of the things on this list before they hit the ground running.

When keeping it real goes wrong. The black ego.

Some of the high value man are born because they come from an influence family but they still have to do the work.

I don’t understand how parents get divorced and the son stays with the mom. My brother and I was at my dads hip nonstop we went with him everywhere even simple errands. He took us to Parks, bike riding, etc at least twice a week. if they ever got a divorce us being with our father would have been automatic without discussion no matter what the courts say and my mom knew that. I love my mom and all but I don’t understand these dudes staying with their mom instead of being with their father, I didn’t even know that was a thing and at 14 if my dad was leaving the house and I was the caller I would’ve told my dad “I’m coming with u” and packed my bags. idgaf if he was low value or not, the heck u living with your mom for.

How can add value to any situation or in my focus area? Thanks Mr Samuels for reminding us to keep striving, competing and fighting!

Love this talk 🔥

Thanks for the info you provide

You know you made it Unc when your on blogs like Mediatakeout.

Truth hurts Gabrielle is a lot of us in the black community what is it that I truly want out of this life you really being honest with yourself you can do better

Can't understand why so many Fellas are butthurt by The Big Clipper's Concept of High Value. It is General in some aspects and Specific in others. It Cuts to the Chase , which is a good thing. It's the one Concept that gives ALL Men a chance. We should Celebrate Kevin for what he is doing for Men AND Women in all spaces as it pertains to Image/Empowerment/Co-Habitation from this day forward.

The book "30 Days to a Better Dating Experience" by Logan Tindell is an interesting approach using mindfulness and meditation. Dating can suck...if the person's perspective is off. Mindfulness helps.

1:36:57 dropping knowledge

Truth... nothing more...

Very insightful thank you.

Fragile egos get hot and bothered by standards they don’t fit. Men far greater than me inspire me.

I have 6 of the 7 big 6s checked off: - 6’2 Height - 6 figure income - 6 years of education (Master’s Degree) - 6 figures or more home that I own - V6 engine Car - 6 pack abs (in progress, currently a 4 pack) I guess I’m a High Value Black man 🤷🏾‍♂️

Kevin I appreciate you Nupe!!!!

If this what it takes to be high value then I’ll do it because I want power and I want to be rich and wealthy

I here it. I’m don’t have all these thing’s in my life and that’s fine. But if I want I’ll get it!
