I think that’s Damon’s first thorough interview. Loved it and his thought process

[@Just_For_Kixz]

VinWiki has one from a while back asking how he got started… Wouldn’t it be great to have the boys goon 2Bears just before GumBall then hang out with Bert and Tom!!!

[@AdamGaron686]

@@Just_For_Kixz my guy whilstin diesel and DDE 🥳🥳 but also yes bertcast

[@Just_For_Kixz]

@@AdamGaron686 only reason I mentioned 2Bears was because they’re all doing Gumball Euro next year (if Bert is safe to travel) would be a cool happening before the event

[@masturone8257]

Yea it’s crazy he’s one of the innovators and largest IP and just now he’s doing a proper interview. That’s how serious he takes it and how humble he is. You got people going off on a interview road trip cause they had a video get 50k views and want to tell people how to make it big. Great work Damon

[@Gatorman6924]

His parents were rich, someone trying to be humble. Lol😂

[@adamcartlidge8891]

Big DDE fan and only just found/came across this on Facebook randomly. And was like when did Damon do an interview on Gumball 3000. This video needs advertising more to the DDE Fam and the views will rocket up.

[@ferrox1039]

Jo man same here 😅just randomly found it...and i watch all DDE for years.. I only found this here because there is on whit Dave also..

[@rashdanbakari3373]

Damon is a driver, entertainer and a seasoned entrepreneur. It is so fresh seeing Damon thinking, talking about his success while subsequently giving life and business advise.

[@viperlucky9924]

One of the few podcasts I actually watched without skipping anything! Top tier

[@cristhianrojas9151]

Amazing to listen the great DDE himself

[@IMCARS]

Great episode! Nice to see the non-vlogging side of Damon and his story!

[@RadiationNetwork]

This video is worth its weight in GOLD. Damon just laid out the mindset needed and the perfect foundation to make it big while enjoying what you do! He gave you many shortcuts on monetizing with KZbin. You just have to expand on them and pickup the money making tidbits down the road on your journey. I live on the Beach in South OC CA. I'm going to make it a priority to meet Damon and his crew soon.

[@djk91lx28]

I met Daymon at a show at PFS. This is great to see some more behind the scenes of his journey. Thanks Steve.

[@BIGGELATO]

In 2015, I believe is when I found Damon and his channel. It’s been since then that I’ve been self-developing, thanks you Damon and his buddy Gabe who would both talk about mindset, business, e-commerce, marketing, annual/quarterly profits, just random things that I didn’t understand back then. In 2019 I was on the verge of changing my life for better or worse and right when everything was going way too well for me, everything went to shit within a week, I lost everything, I hit rock bottom, and dug myself a grave. Ever since, I’ve been fighting “life ending” thoughts that I would’ve regretted. DDE is a main reason, as silly as it may sound to many, but Damon is a big reason why I’m still here trying every single day to get back up and crawl out this hole I dug myself into. I remember voting for him to get his first Huracan when he lost his 458, he would often reply to my comments when he was still new to youtube. I’ve seen his channel grow, his family grow, his friends and partners come and go. But every time a problem would occur, Damon once said, “look at problems as challenges to solve and get over them like speed bumps”. I have much respect for this man, including Dave, and the rest of the crew such as Jamie the editor thats been there since day one too, and also his woman Tasha for sticking with him through thick and thin, ups and down, and the constant travelling. Idk how he does it but yeah. I’ve learned so much from Damon Fryer.

[@erikchopp2622]

Gabe has a mastermind course I believe, they had it linked on a stories video a while back.

[@erikchopp2622]

I’m also in the rebuilding process, worked a regular job and ended up getting laid off during Covid. Lost everything. Ended up going back to school and completely changed careers and opened my own business. It’s a very slow climb but we will be back at the top one day!! Keep grinding brotha! 🤘🏻

[@W1es]

I am one of the ones who have cancer, who watch DDE videos, and it gives me the hopes and power to want to get through and keep on my journey to do what they are doing as well. I love DDE, I love the automotive scene. Thankyou to Damon and Dave and also YOU Steven from showing us this part of both of them

[@bigal2417]

Hope u get better . Good luck 👍

[@trukeesey8715]

9:37 So-called "rock stars" are well known to be degenerate and wicked. No decent person would ever want to emulate someone who is wicked, but only to do away with them. A rich degenerate is still a degenerate and, thus, is to be gotten rid of. Listen to Prem Rawat!

[@dirkhge2169]

It is impressive how openly and honestly Damon explains how difficult the entry into these different business areas is and was also for him personally. That honesty, authenticity I think is an important part of his and Dave's success with the DDE stories. The spectators feel that and appreciate it. Thank you for this insight and the interesting interview! BTW.: What Damon and Dave do with their super sports car would be completely unthinkable in Germany. The spectacular exhaust systems without a muffler and catalytic converter on public roads are not possible here. Here you can (still) drive as fast as you want on the free motorway sections (no speed limit). But the extraordinary thing that the guys do with their crazy cars is what we viewers like, because it's priceless, possibly forbidden and just "over the top". In Düsseldorf, Germany we are used to supercars. There are many such cars coming to our city. On normal days, even more so on weekends. They are mainly to be found on Königsallee, the luxury shopping street. Yesterday I experienced an Aventador S, on a normal street, which was as loud as a construction machine when parking at idle. Of course it sounds a thousand times better! So we experience this more often than not in a car. But there are so many places in the world where these cars still look like an alien spaceship that you can never actually experience them. That's why many are watching DDE and all the vlogs that serve this topic. Cars fascinate. Unfortunately, the era of combustion engines is coming to an end. In Germany, there is an atmosphere against cars with combustion engines that threatens to become unbearable. There are people, "climate protectors", who set cars on fire (SUV preferred), puncture tyres, scratch cars because they are destroying the climate. Which is true, but only to a small percentage. Which is amplified a hundredfold in the hatred of the car. Sorry for the novel!! By the way, I'm 60 today. Didn't have the insights Damon described. Despite being a Lamborghini fan since the early 70's, I never managed to own one. But, it is also a pleasure not to own things yourself, but to see them on other people, to enjoy them, to look at them. So do not despair if it remains only a dream. 😉regards Dirk

[@terrybebernick9113]

No one can own everything, it me not be your place In life. In this life, however, we have the ability to look at wonderful things and experience them through others. We may own things that others do not as well. Make sure others are also able to enjoy the things you do/have as well. Pass the experience forward. I think that Is the success of DDE. Your reality is also someone else's dream. Take time out of your life to allow others to share in it as well. I truly think that's the secret sauce Damon has tapped into.

Watched half of it alreay and looking forward to finishing it. He's always been very humble and transparent about his beginnings and where he came from and his own brand. He should do more podcasts for sure but every few months.

Bloody awesome interview to stumble across, followed DDE even before Dave came on board and this interview really comes across as to how deserving DDE is of their success from Damon’s brainchild, passion and commitment to strive for more and more yet forever analysing, what works, what doesn’t and how to build and grow… Very informative interview well conducted and showing a totally different side to Damon Fryer & DDE 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🇦🇺🇦🇺

Damon is so insightful and incredibly well spoken offering up great advice. It was very nice seeing the calm serious version of him and to listen to his story. Thanks for bringing this to us.

[@BigSpookyJeff]

Great interview. It's pretty inspiring. I'm pretty amazed with how much detail Damon shared about the "how to" do it. Some of those bits that maybe took him days, months, years to learn. He's just offering it up in this interview. 👊 Something that hit me towards the end was how he said that for some viewers, his videos give them a break from the hardships of life. At least that's how i heard it. Yeah, i look forward to his videos. 15-20 minutes of content that I'm happy spending my time watching. Anyway, thanks to you both.

[@Loki2Mira]

Amazing video. I love watching DDE and this was such a cool video learning more about Damien. People don’t realize how smart he is and how much he puts into his content.

[@tracybloom2137]

When talking about your fans loving your videos and watching them while going through tough times, it really hit me my dude!! I kno I’m one of those people and I’m always commenting on your videos and I look forward everyday for DDE videos while I’m in the hospital going through chemotherapy treatments, radiation treatments and just being stuck in the hospital for days!! I also watch them and look forward to them while I’m home in so much pain due to cancer and DDE makes me feel alive every new video!! Yes I go back sometimes and watch videos a second or third time cuz I’ve seen every video you’ve made but it’s gets me through so much and helps me feel alive and it takes my mind off the pain and suffering I go through everyday!! Ever since I stumbled upon DDE (5-6 years ago) I have watched your videos everyday!! I literally wait for them to pop up on my notifications that a new video came out and I get all excited for it!! I’ve even asked you guys several times to come to Watkins Glen, NY so I can show you things that you won’t see anywhere else in the United States (I’ve been to every state besides Alaska, Hawaii and Texas) and there’s no place like Watkins Glen in the spring/summer/fall..I promise you this!! We not only have the racetrack that many race groups come to but we have the old track that runs through town and up around the hills and back down that F1 use to race (it’s Vintage Weekend, but not just old vintage cars) but we also have some amazing roads that are like nothing you’ll see anywhere else in the States!! We also have more waterfalls than you can count with the tallest waterfall east of the Mississippi River!! I absolutely love DDE and I just wish there was a way to contact you guys (I don’t have Facebook or Instagram anymore cuz my account was hacked) but it would mean the world to me to be able to chat with you guys and possibly meet you guys sometime soon before I pass from this nasty cancer that won’t leave me alone (been kicking its ass since 2007 but it’s taking it toll on me, that’s for sure)!! But I’m sure this is a long message nobody will probably read, still feels good to be able to give you guys the chance to read it if you feel like it I guess!! #DDEFAM
