Why I Left Hamza’s Adonis School

This video is me talking about stuff

[@NopeLolx-rf3lj]

Hamzas ego is so out of control the moment you say something that he doesn’t agree with you’re banned from Adonis gang

[@m1r4499]

That just tells you what type of person he is Egotistical Insecure And very boring All the above is far from being a masculine man Bcz men are humble comfortable in their own skin and with their beliefs And fun to be around.

[@addyupsyt]

Happened to me after I didn’t are with somet that he had when it came to women just on a personal basis. Now I’m a gonner

[@johnpark7972]

It’s his followers that are more of a problem. Brainless toxic conformist NPCs

[@powerlizard665]

Happened to me too. Its just i commented on Danish's post of seducing women that Hamza was against it at first now he is becoming degenerate.

[@johnpark7972]

His cult of brainless NPCs is worse

[@Raiden1111]

I too left He was kicking out everyone even for slightest criticism

[@greg67994]

If people were preaching this in the school then of course you’re getting kicked. He’d lose members faster than he changes his opinions 🤷‍♂️

[@karolx4441]

Hamza read the book "how to win friends and influence people" multiple times. He says it's the second best self-improvement book (just behind "the way of the superior man" ) he has ever read. In the thirth part of the book there's a rule that goes like this: "If you're wrong, admit it quickly and emphatically". I know a lot of times where Hamza actually agreed with the critic on himself like; that his long-term relationship advice is shit since he himself wasn't in a long relation ship yet or in the og beef with sneeko where he apologized. I don't think Hamza would be too weak and have to big ego to not take critic.

[@helgestrm9670]

as a 32 year old married man I am so happy to see this video. You are an individual my dude. No fucking guru online knows whats best for you. Keep preaching. Hamza is a goodlooking dude with charisma who knows a few things to get laid. But self improvement? Its in the word. Self. Fuck does he know about you and what you need beyond biological ones. Young men deserve better advice. Go your own paths. People who vibe with that will appear. Key thing is just to live. Like you said. Personal experience.

[@tehlaziness]

I feel ya man. I'm 36 and while a lot of Hamza's old content (from like 1.5-2 years ago) was pretty good and gave a lot of inspiration, I just can't support what he's been saying the last year or so. He's too obsessed with chasing the $$$ these days and doesn't really seem to have any concrete values. Also where a lot of his older content came off as tough love that had its value, lately when he insults his audience it's coming from a purely egotistical standpoint. As an older guy, you start to learn that money and the grind aren't everything and that grinding too hard without any fun for too long WILL burn most people out. There's merit to sending a message to lost young guys that aren't building a future for themselves, don't live a healthy lifestyle and don't know anything about women (given, I'm starting to think Hamza really doesn't either outside of being a thirst trap that can attract low quality club girls for one night stands). He's also all talk when it comes to conviction; dude went on and on about how being a warrior is his life's purpose and gave up on fight school within a week. Then he talked about wanting to be a father and a husband and then did what he did to his ex. I used to hold him to high regard, but I've kinda lost all respect for him.

[@SaltPepperEconomics]

Awesome comment. Can’t agree more

[@Emiliokelly1]

100%

[@ultimateberserker3778]

Once i realised this, i stopped watching self-improvement and actually started doing the things. It's the ultimate truth.

[@johnpark7972]

I’m born in 81, so 10+ years older than you. Never married, no kids, enjoying life. People might watch these self improvement videos when they are feeling down or bad (which I did when I was feeling horrible during covid but now much happier) but these communities are ironically some of the most toxic. Don’t base your life off what these gurus preach and explore life and find out what you want to do and how you want to live. Adonis gang is basically children under 20 who think they know the world because they follow Hamza and think everything he says is right. I was told I will regret it, I am a lonely loser for saying I’m not married with no kids, l laughed. Kids thinking they know the world better than a man old enough to be their father, when they haven’t lived a life beyond their parent’s house and the internet.

[@RensTongue]

Thank you for posting my guy. I just recently snapped out of Hamza’s influence. Over the past months, I’ve only had thoughts of “what would Hamza do?” And I didn’t realize it at the time but I was worshipping Hamza and basically I had no IDENTITY of my own. It was all about Hamza this and Hamza that. Now I realized that i need to live my life and get experiences. Remember, you are your own person and we need to make our own decisions. Instead of asking Hamza for life advice, let’s all go out and do trials and errors. That’s how we truly get better.

[@d0van.aep1]

yk its SO FUCKED THAT MFS WORSHIP HIM. I LITERALLY CALLED OUT PPL FOR NOT HAVING PERSONALITIES AND THINKING FOR THEMSELVES I GOT BANNED. i too snapped out of it after i started studying islam. at first i was scared to disagree with hamza cuz he is successful but then i started to realize that its still bullshit. he knows since he is successful mfs will easily listen to him

[@bigarshiev2195]

Yh bro i think when it comes to consuming any sort of content regardless of what it is balance is needed, otherwise you will end up worshipping that thing, whether its a influencer or your business or education. Everyone needs balance in their lives for the best rate of progression.

[@Flossy2K.]

I'm so glad you snapped out of that. Don't idolize anyone, they're not perfect ppl & don't deserve to be worshipped. Always try to be the best version of you, not anyone else.

Nobody over the age of 20 should be in that school, I like hamza but realistically you don’t need to be in that community to be successful

[@greg67994]

Hamza is only 26 himself so it’s rare that anyone older would join (and most of the group was younger guys from when I was inside). His advice and content is catered to a younger teenage audience who are more impressionable and are more willing to listen to everything he says because he’s ahead in life by comparison, so yeah, you definitely do not need his community and no one should feel bad for leaving or not wanting to be inside. After a certain point, whether you’re inside his school or not is more of a dictation of if you trust your own intuition and direction in life, or if you prefer to trust hamza more than you trust yourself. I chose the former 🤷‍♂️

[@jenex7623]

At first when I started watching hamza I taught it was funny but after takin 5 mins to think about what he is saying I was like...bruh How u gonna talk about self improvement yet your bashing people for their imperfections...worst yet the imperfections that they themselves cannot control

[@plab1151]

id definitely rather talk to someone that goes on autistic rants than someone like hamza lmao

I completely agree with you mate. I also stopped watching all self improvement KZbinrs, it’s all just so saturated. Now I only read books that sound helpful to me, follow god, and do what I love. Peace people.

[@Hamani000]

this is so true god bless u bro

[@gregtziatzias4747]

I used to watch him all the time in 2021-2022, but have barely watched anything since. I remember Hamza in a very old video saying that his best fans are the ones who don’t even watch his videos and actually live life. At this point it feels like the opposite is being promoted by him and the community, but at the same time I can’t really comment on the situation because I haven’t truly watched him in years. I definitely learned a lot from him and am extremely grateful for that part of my life, but as a man you need to be able to grow. For me that meant leaving self improvement KZbin videos behind for a while, while I’m trying to gather as many experiences as possible and become the best version of myself. Figure out what’s best for you depending on the period of your life. I’ll definitely get back to watching self improvement KZbin videos at some point, as I believe that you can extract a lot of knowledge and power from them, but overconsuming them and considering the person who makes them to never be wrong are a recipe for disaster. You’ll struggle to find yourself and your true purpose. Peace.

[@greg67994]

[@charlesboutin9919]

Great reflexion. It is quite funny that hamza talked about the "having more and more desires" thing in one of his older guides. I honestly think there is some valuable knowledge to gain from the guy but he is also a very clever businessman. As you said, some young men (i'm quite young too im 18) are very impressionable which alters their capacity to think properly. You cannot follow every word Hamza says in the same way you wouldnt follow everything Andrew Tate says etc. Collect what's valuable and stay critical. Becoming a clone is quite a looser move honestly. Great video bud.

[@IgorSienkiewicz.]

Well said man, agree 100%. Young guys out there who follow hamza need to hear that

[@lucasfernandochannel]

I found Hamza content about two years ago but decided to quit consuming it last year. The first videos of his channel were truly relatable to me and many young men. He seemed sincere and gave great advice based on things he did and accomplished. But nowadays he literally became a cult leader. I think his success on KZbin made him so blind and arrogant, and now all he cares is to take as much money as possible from his audience. It's pretty sad this happened to him but I don't think he'll realize his mistakes and learn from them

[@greg67994]

From what I’ve seen of the guy after following him for over 2 years until recently, he will probably realise what he’s doing, go back to being like he used to, just to change his mind again and keep promoting his cult community to impressionable young men. He never actually grows as a person, he just goes through cycles imo 🤷‍♂️

Hey Greg i remember you posting in adonis school.

I have been in AS too for 2 months, around 1.5 years ago. I completely agree with the fact that I had been too influenced by him.

[@brettrfalcon730]

What honestly struck me as a hard lesson to learn as a Hamza viewer was learning to trust my own critical thinking. Because in a certain way, he was right to say not to trust yourself at first and listen to someone further along than you. That’s a fantastic way to open your mind to things you’d normally reject. I loved that openness. But soon I too just became on “Hamza improvement” instead of Brett improvement. Men need to learn how to have their own direction to guide them. This they can only receive from God, not Hamza.

However idrc after I got banned I made more money than I had inside there and I networked with more indivuials. Overall it is said to see hamza turning into this new character he is portraying. although it is not entirely his fault many kids in there are brain dead he should still take responsibility and make sure he does not negatively influence them.

as A older guy (29) who were serious about self improvement and was already semi successful I looked into hamza 2 years ago by joining the discord to contribute my knowledge in finance and accounting and business and network with like minded people but I realized 2 things. 1. I was way ahead of the type of people in that discord so there was little to no value for me to get and the maturity level was to young for me to help them either. 2. People were blind worshippers of hamza and didn't really want to take action and build together in business and self development. I'm still working on finding my tribe to build with as someone who reached financial freedom at 27 I realized how lonely it is when all my friends are still in the 100% in the rat race.

Having an ego isn’t a problem, however when it becomes detrimental to others purely for your own self benefit then I’ll raise an eyebrow I think there’s value in his content. Especially his older content. In recent times I started to feel like his content didn’t resonate as much, as he was starting to switch his messaging every other month. So I decided to join his free community to get the old feeling back and I was absolutely disgusted. I saw 15 year olds calling other people’s girlfriends who they’d never met whores because they had a conversation with another guy and having arguments about how you should alternate warm and cold shower temperatures because of previous hamza advice So yea. He has a good message when taken in the right way. But the media are actually correct. His influence on kids is very very dangerous You seem well based on this.

[@robertkleine5242]

You just perfectly summarised why I decided to stop following Hamza a year ago, very refreshing to hear. It‘s not that his advice is essentially bad, it‘s that all these guys (including myself back then) want to live a better life, drop the fake mask of conditioning and live an authentic life, but all they do is put on another mask, blindly follow some new conditioning and not follow what they authentically want because perhaps that‘s not included in Hamza‘s version of Self Improvement. Therefore not becoming the best version of themselves but a lesser version of Hamza, if they don‘t do anything about it.

This was 2-3 years ago or so. Now I look back at this 'cult' he has... I know for certain if i had followed i would be doubting everything and all my choices where critical thinking has been extinguished and every opinion is black and white when it shouldn't be.

[@tongs1073]

i would say, good or bad, one thing is for sure, hamza has made us get up out of our couch and finally atleast just try to improve. ive been on and off from hamza and ive only made small noticable changes, but compared to how i was back then, i was absolutely aimless in life. Now ofcourse, the influence hamza has made may have been more bad than good to some people, but for me, it helped me start somewhere. I have noticed though that the hamza way of doing things have not worked as a sustainable thing for me. i have tried, many times actually, but it wont stick, and lately went on a breakdown because of it (its a lot more complicated, essentially just a lot of thoughts in my head + personal shit) but through that breakdown, i learned some insight. All in all, with hamzas content right now, i would say to the new and existing viewers out there to think for yourself, and to only take what you think is good from him. Dont believe every word, since his beliefs change, and he is only human and still experiencing life. He genuinely gives good advice that works, but some of it dont apply to all, if not a good thing at all.

[@jessejohnson06]

Definitely agree with this video, I liked his content 2+ years ago because it was more honest and useful, but his content today is a regurgitated video, him giving you advise on relationships, (which personally I would not take given his track record of keeping a woman), or him talking about some new “advise” which contradicts his old advise. Also recently he has been acting arrogant and talking like a edgy 14 year old on instagram, which is not a good look. All in all I’m done watching his content since I have a wife and a kid now and may not be close with knowing how to run a business, but I am further than him on relationships and his workout advise is all done in older videos and are pretty basic but work.

[@greg67994]

Good point on the relationship advice bro. I never took that advice seriously because of his track record and I’m glad to see someone who thinks the same way

[@jessejohnson06]

@@greg67994 Also another point is brought up in this video I’m pretty sure is him changing his values every 2 weeks. Yes I get it you have to change to improve, but chances are if your changing every 2 weeks to a couple months that is 100% based off your emotions which as a masculine man you should not let control you. Yes, you can reflect on your values and see if something doesn’t work (like being distant in a relationship you want to get to the next level, so you change your red pill view which works for picking up girls and change it to a mature view which is being somewhat close but not toxically close). Also he says a lot not to live with your girl due to losing your polarity. Chances are if you can’t live with your girl after a couple years of dating you had no real polarity in the first place and have been not being yourself. My wife and I have been living together for 2 years and have not lost are polarity. We still argue then make love as a (ritual). He is scaring a bunch of 14-15 year olds about committing in a relationship because they will lose their polarity, yet they are at least 4-8 years away from that actually being a reality. It’s sad because my sister is in a situation like that. Her boyfriend hasn’t committed and they have a kid. That right there is the reason why a bunch of people in the west have commitment issues. Just like abuse it is a generational curse which is easy to start.

@@greg67994 Ya, but being brutally honest being in a situation where I have a planned kid and plan on having more, him having a kid that early in a relationship being that they weren’t even married would not be a good idea.

I don’t even have an alarm my body literally runs off 4 hours of sleep. But hanging out with the boys which is fine if you have good values but Hamza doesn’t. Before Anastasia what did he do? He went to clubs. In Mexico for sure and I think Thailand. He also smoked weed in Thailand as well I believe. Which I thought he was against. Hopefully he matures as he is a role model for so many young men.

Thinking some kind of "self improvement school" is going to improve you is the first mistake.

[@Paras770]

Real video man, and what you've pointed out is definitely an issue I knew about before joining and have seen whilst being in there too. Personally I think I've always been quite a critical thinker and was questioning my beliefs and ideas well before I knew about Hamza. That love for thinking critically even meant that I wanted to study philosophy at uni, and even though I no longer wanted to because of the way the curriculum is set up I still had that love for thinking critically about things. So having had those mindsets and having joined I personally think it's been valuable for me overall, but like you said it's an individual thing. I resonate with a lot of what Hamza says but I also disagree with things. It's true that there's a culture of a lack of critical thinking from a lot of people there which is definitely saddening. There are other aspects of the culture that I think are really good. But of course it's always an individual decision to weigh up what impact it has in your life. Given that it was having a negative impact for you, the only right decision for you would be to leave. I completely respect that Greg, and look forward to seeing what you do on your own more authentic path

[@greg67994]

Appreciate it brother💪

[@Leo-bd9ms]

Hey man, completely agree with your point. This might come of as me still inside hamza's influence but are the course of any value? Ofc im talking about the money making sides and the KZbin side. Im thinking of joining in the next year or so after i get the money. Looking thru his courses on "finding the best girl" or "seduction, dating and masculinity" always felt errie because the guy himself is still somewhat of a degen and the whole thing feels too redpill and his "youre only on the right track if you listen to me." tone. So is the course on money making side of any value even tho the community itself is soemwhat braindead?

[@NULLBDBB]

11:50 if your making money online. This is the worst thing you can do. Your intuition and creative thinking will be your key to the treasure box

[@void.vitri01]

What you are talking about is what Athene is constantly saying, you should look up his podcast, it will reinforce what you are thinking and how you apprehend the world around you. Logic and critical thinking is the ultimate way to get purpose, you got it bro

[@heroicdragon]

Haven't been in adonis skool yet but was thinking about it a while back until he posted 'you can't trust yourself' in his community tab on yt, that sorta broke me out of just blindly following him. My parents were actually telling me to 'stick to 1 thing and stop changing your mind based on a whim' but I didn't listen until recently where I've just been following what works for me now instead of a routine made by someone else. I still follow his free workout routines n stuff in the gym though I want to start getting into calisthenics and ge tthe ability to do stuff like 100 pushups in a row with ease, for some reason I can't bulk so I might just stick to my bodyweight and make the most of it (maybe buy some weighted vests or something). But yeah good video, I still listen to hamza a tiny bit when it comes to youtube growth and business but when it comes to anything else now I take his opinion and do my own research. I sometimes think that this supposed 'downfall' might be hamza manipulating his audience yet again cus it would blow up his channel again if he had a supposed fall and then made a massive comeback. Cus that guy knows how to speak well and he might even be fluctuating his audience just for fun. I don't like to think like that cus I still value the youtuber but its a possibility .

[@MarkieAurelius]

You posted this a month ago and it still didnt get taken down, this promotes some authenticity on this youtubers part but yeah I completely agree with everything you say, the man doesnt even do what he preaches, he made like 20 videos on finding a feminine girlfriend and yet go broken up on.

[@heroicdragon]

@@MarkieAurelius yh

[@pavasite4278]

This is literally my thoughts of hamza and his movement and community. I used to be a big fan of hamza and appreciated his old work, but ever since he started with his business and programme, his advice has no longer been genuine imo. Self improvement is all about improving yourself mentally and physically which was what hamzas old content was about and it was great, but the other stuff like finding your purpose and how to make money and what you want to do for the rest of your life requires you to experience yourself instead of joining a programme and listening to what another man says and tells you how to live life which destroys the idea of becoming an independent man

[@mathemitlevin]

Thanks for the video. I was actually thinking about to join his community. But I won’t. Do you still have a reasonable list of the things he teaches there? Like would you recommend to go there for one month, copy the information and then apply everything I find myself good with? Bc I want a blueprint. This will get me to a better place where I am right now. And then I can change in my own. Then I can see what’s good for me. But I would like to have a pdf or so where a have a full overview on things that I can apply to my day life. This can make me independent. I don’t need another video then. Does anybody know where to find sth like that?

I just hate how much pseudoscience Hamza promotes

[@morgziliuz1972]

He once pushed the 400% testosterone increase dogma that could be easily proven false by reading the actual research paper. Dr.Huberman misspoke the research data, and Hamza took it as gospel and spread this misinformation. Hamza doesn't have any critical thinking skills, and he's not smart at all. He performed terribly in school and uni. He just learned how to emotionally manipulate uneducated young men who see him as a biblical savior. This is a cult. Hamza is the cult leader(he proudly admits to this), and his followers are fanatics.

[@DeahnaLarwood]

I was in AS and i completely agree with everything you are saying. People need to think for themselves and not become a exact copy of hamza. There is valuable advice in there don't get me wrong however it can be very easy to get influenced by hamza. With all his fluctuation it can make you question why tf you followed his advice in the first place. Figure out what you want, and learn from your own lessons. If you need help on a specific constraint then it's good to learn from others. Never ever blindly follow anyone's advice without knowing your true authentic purpose, otherwise you will just become a slave to them. I joined for the business advice, its good if you want to learn about youtube, coaching, and building a skool community. I would still recommend joining for that, but don't become a cult follower lol, think for yourself. Hamza is an amazing guy, im not hating on him, im just warning you to not fall into the trap of turning him into your "god"

[@agsicodpslahavwshxausudusi7327]

I can’t tell exactly because I have never been there but according to some of his videos he acts like the guy who knows everything and you should blindly follow him. I am not saying you to leave his school or stop watching his videos but you need to think what he says and not just blindly consume everything he says.

[@rael954]

When I discovered Hamza I saw him as an "Equal" like a friend that can gives me good advices, I'm also 26 so I've never seen him as a god or some shit. I stopped watching him when he started to talk to his audience like they're teens (which they basically are). Childs even. I don't like when a guy as old as me try to act like he knows everything and like he's better than me, I have ego too, but at least I try to control it. I'm still on self improvement tho. I just began to have pride and I started to think that I don't need him to improve.

You can tell by the way he also talks (which is like Hamza), in how he too was slowly becoming like a clone to the Hamza Cult. No hate though, just want to point out something I noticed. Love that you're speaking out❤

[@mightylotan]

people obsess too much over masculinity and self help

[@greg67994]

Nothing wrong with wanting to improve and be more 'masculine', but yes, when your only personality trait is that you are 'on self-improvement', then there's a problem imo. It should be a lifestyle, not something you're 'on'

[@ryank6322]

Masculinity is a buzz word.

[@SensemakingMartin]

@@ryank6322 Masculinity means something real. But just like everything good, people who talk a lot about masculinity are often cringe about it. But yeah that's like everything. Just cause some people are cringe about it isn't a good reason to just throw it in the bin

[@SethHanma-zq2se]

Prime hamza was 3 years and back, back I never joined the school just listen to his nutrition advice soical skills from the book how to stand up for yourself and counseling and my lifes Better but im not surprised

[@moggman6401]

I remember being a fan of hamza early on in his career when he was selling 1 on 1 calls and fitness videos. But I remember slowly distancing myself from him when he kept going against his original values. Hamza literally said himself to stop watching his videos when you get the main message.

[@balekman2412]

Say to young men to trust them is so powerful, it's the better dev perso line ever done😂 thanks bro

[@SaltPepperEconomics]

Glad you broke out of the Matrix. Above all the matrix is stripping you of your individualism. Your ability to be you. To simply follow and consume. Paying for self improvement and expecting to feel better is no different than paying for a Rolex and thinking you’ll feel better. The only way to go forward is to simply improve. Do things. Realize it’s not black and white. You have choice. Enjoy, grind, eat, sleep, love, laugh. There is beauty in all of it.

[@redhouse994]

5:56 no they are fucking up 🤣 you are still conditioned - no front just a heads up. I lost my shit when I heard "adonis scool" what the hell

[@ShauMapping]

One thing that REALLY caught my eye is how he correlates being an "Adonis" (his mindless follower) to GigaChad meme. Like his literal goal is to bait your "inNaTe DeSiReS" into tossing away your authentic self and becoming his NPC. Also, the way he encourages you to give money to him by incuding his archetype of impeccability "Adonis" in this or that way, rings some bells to me

[@vader1723]

I recently realized what hamza was really doing after i watched FIGHT CLUB for the third time. ''Self improvement is masturbation but Self destruction...'' I started watching hamza and self improvement at the being of 2023 and i've watched hamza and followed everything he said but since last week after i really tried to analyzed the movie i knew every singe thing tyler durden said was right. so i we never watch another self improvement youtuber again! and i'll buy that Zx4r when I'm 19!

[@d0van.aep1]

Self improvement scammers are the lowest of the low. They sell common sense advice which ought to be free. They extract money often out of those who have the least.

I’m just gonna say it; Monk Mode is a cope to avoid life.

[@ThouxiPlayz]

One advice for your next videos (unrelated to the topic of the video). Try to make it more concise, people can't really identify the structure of your videos. Your "Value per Words" is pretty low, those 17 minutes could have been chopped down to ATLEAST 8 minutes. Since you have so much filler words its hard to stay hooked, genuine criticism, no hate.

[@greg67994]

I appreciate the feedback brother. My intention with this video (and my other videos) is purely to just speak my mind completely unfiltered while also not dragging on my points too long. There isn't really supposed to be a structure, and me trying to cut down everything I say would come off as very robotic and inauthentic imo, but I definitely have work to do, and I appreciate your feedback none the less 💪

[@JosephVIllg]

Nothing shows contradictory messages like "Delete social media" and "social media is the 'new meta' to make money". Also, the Canadian KZbinr Jack Denmo remarked in one of his videos how his videos on attracting women get more views than any of his business, fitness, or videos of any other topic. It's not surprising that lonely men without a purpose fall into such cults. What demographic is easier to sway then chronically online, lonely single young men? I used to follow Hamza among other manosphere personalities. What was crazy is how the more I binged watch the content, the hungrier I became for information. I was less satiated with info, not more. These people are literal pros at the attention economy. I get enjoyment out of my simple forklift job in the LTL industry. Maybe I will transfer to driving a truck some day. I know I am essential. Most business owners cannot exist without employees. Not everyone is meant to be an entrepreneur. Lastly, you mention a good point about what would happen to Hamza's members if his community shut down. The thought experiment should go farther: What if KZbin, TikTok, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram, and Facebook all shut down? If not just they, but all of us were forced to be bored and contemplate answers to our own problems in lieu of filling our brain with noise, how would we change mentally and spiritually?

[@rageinternet9391]

Agreed also, imagine having to stoop so low to the point of making fun of and calling slurs and names at mentally disabled people just to prove a somewhat valid point.

[@WVRNERBLVCKSMITH]

Around 2021 / 2022 I was an adonis in his server. He personally banned me because I was telling everyone how shit his videos become and how egotistical he has become.

I think we need to understand that people like Hamza will take you from 0 - 100 Which is amazing. You are the only person who will be able to take yourself from 100 - 1000.
