oh my god the fact that you step away from pop culture to make these type of videos are so amazing. In my opinion more influencers should share business and real side of the world on their platforms. It's a very hard industry to make it into and there is no time to be anyones enemies. Helping each other and sharing experiences and learning from each others mistakes needs to be a bigger thing. I seriously applaud you for doing a video like this. It might not have thousands and thousands of view but trust the few people that are watching it like I am really appreciates getting to see the real side of a multimillion dollar company.

Kind of off topic...but, blockchain is coming. Internet 3.0 - if markets want to advertise to you they must pay you for this. You will own your personal information. The end of big Data is near. This is why Facebook is trying to corrupt the system with a "centralized" blockchain where they own the data rather than a "decentralized" blockchain where you own your own data.....

@Mick W "I suggest you become more masculine and do your own research". If you can't even stand for your words aymore, there's no reason for you to write them to me in the first place. Perhaps you should take your own advice and look into what feminism are, instead of telling me how to be. Every day is a good day to learn something new.

[@dannyho6786]

Sexists !!!!

[@fxsussysasha1043]

Mick W The feminist extremists in this third wave, who are the loudest and most destructive are the problem. Not necessarily modern day feminism as a whole, (because the real goal since the beginning has been equality of the sexes) there are still women and men out there who believe in equality of the sexes, without degrading or discrediting men believe it or not. We as humans all need each other, you need women or you’re not able to be born, same as why we need men. You sound like a Milo follower, only you don’t make sense like he does. You sound ignorant and troll like. I agree with you about how some women have corrupted third wave feminism and turned the original equality based concept into a disgusting movement, however that is not what is happening here. This is a video showing us how someone was able to rise above all odds and create a successful business. It just happens to be the channel owner is a woman and she’s focusing on successful women and someone suggested what she could call a possible series on this subject matter. So I’m sorry if that takes any attention away from the fact you have a penis. But if you stop being so gender obsessed, maybe you could watch this video and apply it your life regardless that they’re females.
