So today, before we get to our very special guest, let's kick it off with our Patreon question of the day, which is what is a fact about you that is not on the internet? Huh. Is that for me? Is that for you guys? All of us. All of us. That's okay. I have to go first. I have one about Marcus. Oh, here we go. Wait, wait, wait. That's what it was. First pull out right there. Go ahead. Mine for you would be drama club. Yeah, make sure no one tells anybody about that. Yeah. He was in drama in college and did really well. But a lot of people would never think that because he's this tough, you know, totally alpha Navy SEAL. And he was in drama in college. So that's one of my favorite things about you that no one knows. I listen to classical music and I like the arts. That's that's that. Now it's on the internet. Thank you. All right, bro. You got one. Yeah. Um, man, I'm going to think here. Probably I when I grew up, I played ice hockey on hockey in Northern Alberta. And, uh, that's all I did, man. Like I just saw you home from school and play hockey until. My parents would scream at me and get the hell out of the house and, you know, as it was all I just was a hockey nerd. Well, that's awesome. So speaking of that, do you want to just go straight into his story? You come from Canada, right? Can you just start back? We're real comfortable. Yeah, where'd you come from, man? Yeah, just tell us where you came from and a little bit about your. Yeah. Yeah, so I was born in a, uh, a bow down town called ice, uh, in Northern Alberta. And it's just a bunch of welders and people working in the gas fields. And, uh, when I was in my first year of high school, we moved down to the States. My family had some, some friends from college that invited them to work at a security company in Utah. At the point of the mountain, where it's now basically a silicone club, the beauty. And, uh, ever since then, I've been there. Um, I, I grew up LDS. So I, I did a Mormon mission in Brazil. And that's kind of what got me hooked on to, on to traveling in the Latin culture, you know. And, you know, when, when I got back, I started throwing events and parties and, and that took a total shift in my life. So my, my whole 20s. I hit like maybe a year after I got back, a year and a half, two years after my mission. I, uh, I just got heavy into drinking and partying and, you know, that started. Uh, probably about 23 years old. Yeah. So did you grow up? You got brothers siblings? You having siblings? Yeah, yeah. I got four brothers and two sisters. What, what do they do? Uh, they are my, they are welders. My oldest brother. He worked on computer. Uh, my two little sisters work for the foundation now. My mom and dad both worked with the foundation now. And, um, yeah, they kind of, you know, I only asked, is there a history? Because what you're doing now is not what you started into. And that's, that's, that's, that's definitely not what our life is. Is, is the guys. Who get put on one path. And it's actually training for the one that you're in now. You don't know that. And like, it's, it's like I said, it's the best with guys like us. But when you look at them, like, man, what do you do now? How in hell do you even get into that? How'd you get into that? Yeah. Um, man, dude, like, I, I was, everything I do, I just go hardcore. You know what I mean? Like, so when I was drinking, I would, I would round up my friends and just round up strangers. And I'd be like, let's see who can go three days, about sleep. Just randomly cocaine and drinking and. And it got to a point where my health and my, my soul and my mental health was just, it was that rock bottom. I got a DUI, my event business just kind of went to shit. And, um, I had, I had a, I had an ODD when I was in parks to the Utah. I mixed a few drugs that I shouldn't have and drank way too much. And I had this really powerful out of body experience. And it's something like it's a very, very personal crazy experience that it kind of changed me forever. And I went off to like, kind of this hippie, you know, everything kind of fell apart. A lot, a lot of my subscribers are messaging me right now. For example, two people that used to work for me. There, it was this lesbian couple, right? And Victoria murdered her girlfriend, Tony. I don't know if you guys heard about the story she stabbed her about 47 times. And, um, she faced timing. And she was like, what do I do with the body, right? And then it says all like after my DUI. And then I had to stay in Utah to go to this court case. And... I think somebody thought it was like a body. Yeah, that's crazy. It kind of... It stacks itself on top of itself, right? It's like once one thing goes... Yeah. That's not... Yeah, just one after the other after the other. And I mean, this story is on basically every show on the ID channel, where they'll have actors planned for me. I finally, I expected that with the mom of the girl who passed. She's like, hey, you can play your story on there. I would like you to do that. But it's something where I look back now. And like you said, it's just like, boom, boom, back to back to back. And I'm... I'm going through like this year of period, where I'm trying to quit drinking, right? It's a real habit. Like, it was just from my culture, you know, just working in music and an event. And so I did this thing where I said, I'm going to become a shitty vegan. You know, it was just like my joke with my friends, right? I took away all of the drugs and alcohol. And I had all my liquor bottles. I watched them out. And I would do cold press juices. And I did like a 30 to 60 day juice bath. And I was vegan for a year. And I had some pictures online. And we could see like my 30 days before I like adopted the year. It was like, wow, this stuff. I've ever like... I looked back and I'm like, what the hell was I doing, you know? But it totally went sober. And I just started working for a few friends and making some pretty good money. A lot of the money was under the table. So I could pay off a lot of my debt. And then it came one day where I'm managing a friend's nightclub. And I'm totally sober now. And I'm just like, how the hell was I living in this? You know what I mean? Seeing people come in and spend in $15,000 on bottle service. And you know, there was this one night where I'm like, you know, I've been sober for a while. And you know, I'm going to take a little hit of weed. And I took a hit of weed. And then everyone's like, yeah, it's month, it's month, it's month, it's month. And I got so just blasted out of my mind where I had this like deep, deep panic attack of like, this isn't your life. You know, it was like my body and my soul telling me like, don't get into this. It was a straight up panic attack. And then I just had this overwhelming emotion of, I need to go to South America. I don't know why, you know, I'm just like, I'm going to go to South America. And so I just had this energy. I'm like, guys, I'm moving, I'm moving, I'm going, I'm going to go backpacking for three months. And I call my mom up like, you know, and I'm like, mom, she worked for JetBlue. I need a buddy at the first place. The guy that can fly you into Bogota, Colombia. I was like, all right, fly me when. I was like, I want to go tomorrow. You know, so I invite my siblings over. Whatever you want on my apartment, take it. You know, I don't want to have anything. I want to, I'm going to go on this trip. And then, you know, the next day my mom calls me up and she's like, honey, please. It's like, I'm really worried. Are you going to commit suicide? These are the signs. You know, like, no, I want to, I want to go on this trip. You know, and that's that's kind of how it started. You know, that was in the beginning of 2019. Wow. And so you went there. Is that when you started doing like. My sister and I looked back at your page and you would just go to like street food. Yeah, all right. Yeah. Okay. And you load up. Yeah. You all asked over there. Then what? I mean, you step off the plane. What's the plan, man? Yeah. Did you have a plan or a place to stay? You knew where you were going. No. No, I had no idea. That's a great. So what happens when you do that? What, what, what guides you? Yeah. I mean, I, I, I'm learning now that whenever you go into something in the unknown, you're literally going into the darkness. And you don't try to say, this is how it's going to be. You know, new experience to come out of that. You know, like, like, at least for me, I find that I really love going into something into the unknown without. I brain trying to say, this is how it has to be. So I got there and I had no idea where I was going to say I just had my backpack. I remember the taxi drivers, like, hey, what hotel are we going to go to? And I was like, I don't want to know. Damn. I just want to walk. And I had, you know, like, big kind of military backpack on. And I just started walking. And I, if anyone's ever been to Bogota, it's like, it's pretty far out that, that airport. And man, I'm just walking. I had my buddy with me for the first two weeks. He just wanted to tag along. And he's like, do where the hell are we going? And I'm just like, I can journal it up. I'm like, I don't know, bro. That's the amazing thing. We're in Columbia, you know? And we probably walked for, you know, maybe about four or five hours. Found a little hotel. And stayed in there. And I didn't really speak any Spanish, you know? And so I'm just like, just talking with anyone and everyone I was excited. I wanted to learn a new language. But that's how it started. There was no plans. There was no nothing. It was just like, like a snap like that. What was the first thing that slowed you down and pushed you in this direction? I would say me. And after any time you go traveling after a while, you know, like going to family vacation, usually those, if you want a longer family vacation, usually those last few days, you're like, all right, I'm getting kind of bored, you know? And I was getting to that point, you know, maybe a month in. I'm like, all right, well, what am I going to do with my life? You know, I'm 30 years old now. There's like going on third. I don't remember how much time. 35 now. That was 2019. So, like, what am I going to do? So I started, I had a camera and I started filming people and interviewing them. And that's really what kept me busy. So I would just hang out with every single day. I would buy a stranger a meal. And I would just talk with them and hear their story. I wouldn't really understand them. And then I started filming it. And that's how I got into the whole film thing. And I would come back to my Airbnb or my hostel. And I would just like translate. And that's how I learned Spanish is just what are they saying? And I try to spell that into, you know, Google translate. And it was just 24 seven being very social going on talking to everyone. So what you say to that's by far the best way to learn Spanish. As opposed to sitting eight years in school and not learning anything. Yeah, I'm going with that. I mean, the best way to learn it is get in there. Yeah, get in there and find someone who doesn't speak your language. Because anytime I have friends come down there and want to learn Spanish. They'll find someone to speak English and then that'll be their comfort zone, right? They'll still stop speaking the language. And I'm like, well, why don't you just stay in California and talk to some Mexican down there, right? There's enough down there. Why come travel here to end Spanish? Speak English. It's really, it's really like just jumping into that culture, like full, you know, head in. But I really just started helping. There was this one day that I was going to go edit a video at a Starbucks, right downtown Bogota. And as I'm walking, this guy named Juan Carlos comes up to me. And it was kind of one of the first times where someone normally, you know, like when I was in California, Utah, if someone homeless comes up to me, 90% of the time they're looking for some type of drug, you know, there's just. There's just a lot of drug addiction in the States, right? And down here, he's like, hey, can I work for you? Can I do anything I want to work for you? He's the youngest. Sorry about my phone. I'm just asking for work, you know, and then I'm chatting with him and I'm like, you know, finding out he's sober. And and I just had this idea like I'm going to bring him over to my apartment. You know, I had a friend visiting me for that, that week as well. And he's like, you know, what the hell are you doing? I'm like, yeah, he's going to sleep here with us. Juan Carlos, you know, it's like an ongoing inside joke now with us. But even till today, he's like, dude, I couldn't sleep. I thought the guy was going to be head me or something.

But yeah, so he's living in there, and then I'm like, you don't want to figure out a way if I could help the kids move into his own apartment, you know. It was just total curiosity, something's fun for me to do. And then so we went over to the store and I thought like a belt and this big plastic box, you know, a few through plastic box. And we put this belt around his neck, and then we filled it up with cigarettes, because in these countries they'll sell single cigarettes, you know, 25 cents. So we filled it up with cigarettes, and then the middle was drinks, and then it was like little bagged chip. And I walked around with him, and I'm filming him kind of documenting this. And we went into the bus stop, and people are buying it, and that's where I got my first high. That's the first time I felt the high was at a substance, you know, and to see that giant smile on that guy's face. And then he would come home night after night, let him live with me for a week, and he would come home and be like, I'll talk about that. Yeah. That's called, we've been talking about that. It's called catching a feeling. It's the best way I can describe that. I think there's two ways I've seen it. If you ever tried to, like when you go to start something, it's complicated. You can't get it. I mean, you're kind of failing at it, but you know you can get good at it. And you see something in it that's going to teach you something. So you kind of start laughing about it. And that drives you. Oh, I see that. That's that's called catching a feeling. Also, the other day we were hanging out. I was working. We were passing out food when I was eight. Hey, I got a birthday cake here. Somebody pulls up and we were passing out food at the mission. Okay. If anybody needs this birthday cake, make sure you pass it out. And I think that's a man. Roger that. Our show goes by. Finally, this car pulls on this lady. A little more. She's like, hey, did you all happen to have a freaking birthday cake? And I'm like, yeah, we got one, man. She just asked for market passes out food. I mean, the look on her face. You know, when women get real happy, they start laughing and clapping uncontrollably. They can't help themselves. They start dancing their body. Yeah. So I love that. So now I'm going around looking for the opportunity to catch that feeling. Because it gives you that tingle up your spine. You know, it was some about it. Yeah. Some about what somebody get in pure happiness and joy. Kind of lights you up. It's it's a byproduct. That thing. It's one of those natural things. Natural occurrences that happen that we don't ever talk about. Yeah. I've never heard of conversation about it. So that's what you felt. Yeah. So when you say, hey, man, I know what that is. I look for that. Yeah. It's it's an amazing high man. And. And when I felt that I never knew like that was going to be still become this. You know, I wasn't on Tik Tok at that time. I called it the pedophile app. Even though my sister's like, yeah, I'm Tik Tok. Both of the stuff from Tik Tok. And. But I wanted to do something with it, right? Like I saw a group of Japanese guys walking out the bedding. I saw a group of Japanese guys walking around town. I don't speak English. They're just like doing that thing. And I'm like, what the hell is that? You know, like I was in a ghetto ghetto area. And this guy was like, oh, well, there's actually this guy from Japan, who like came down to commit suicide. And then before he did that, he went and walked around Columbia around. And spend time with really, really humble people. And this guy comes from a lot of money in Japan. And now what he does, he takes a group of wealthy people that are feeling suicidal. And he takes them down to Columbia. And then he just walks them around. And all they do is observe people smiling in the poor poor community. So he takes people that are executives and business owners. And I was just like, that right there. Like things were slowly clicking. Like, okay, I want to do something with my life. You know, like I can't see myself going back and living in California. And are ever working in an advanced or, you know, like anything in entertainment. I just, I'm shut off from that right now, you know. I wanted to be able to kind of feel that over and over. And. And yeah, it's a beautiful, beautiful feeling. A lot of people ask me because right now on average, you know, we've built a home a week. We're building a big school here right now for the entire coffee community. And it's going to be the quality of a private school. We're going to bring down English teachers. We're going to teach them. We're going to give them an amazing, amazing education, you know. And we've paid for a lot of surgery that have saved kids lives. And it's a lot of people I was telling me like that's got to feel amazing, amazing, amazing, like 24 seven. And kind of my analogy now is. I feel like if I get that first single feeling, it means I'm not doing my work enough. You know what I mean? It kind of like my analogy right now is. I kind of feel like I'm the kind of college of charity, you know. And it's, you know what I mean? That's the only way I can kind of put it in comparison where you're a little kid, you know, and you see boobies for the first time, you're like, oh, I get that. And I've just like seen the tingles and the boobies of charity, like every single day where it's like, now I'm a guy. How many pairs of titties do you have before you do before? Because I never, it's never happened to me. I'm sorry, man. I don't know. I'm going. A lot. I think the best part about it and you kind of said it earlier is that when we bust y'all, bust your ass in the entertainment industry to entertain to make sure we are entertained, which the minute the movie is over and anything over, it's over. It's over. And everything we do, it's like a flash of a second. And I mean, I've seen, I've been there with y'all watching in the city of angels up there, man. And everywhere else watching y'all entertain, we're watching us entertain ourselves. And then once you kind of shift your gaze over what you're talking about, I mean, you're entertaining them. Yeah, but you're giving them something to. Yeah, where they can grow. And like the, you said the education parts, the biggest thing where they can communicate and do all that. That's key man and catching that feeling. It's like a drug you've never experienced before. It's almost as if we're in the open. You got to take those drugs to keep you focused on it because you're not really supposed to be doing it. And then the minute you started focusing on what's really important to everybody, you can feel it on the inside. It's a natural drug. It's almost like those drugs are already implanted inside of us. The minute you're supposed to do something, you were meant for. You activated like human wise. It sits that off. Feels good. You've gone from. From being able to help one Carlos with one. You know, what's that dude doing now? Yeah, did he get an apartment? Uh, uh, he did. He moved into an apartment. But I went back to Columbia recently because we went to go buy some, uh, we have a toy factory now. The Amazon. Um, and so I went and bought the machinery in Columbia that the factory that makes the actual machines. And then I spent the whole week trying to find them and I can't find them. So maybe one day I'm going to find one Carlos. Hope you can. I don't know is that. I went from that like that was your first experience to now. You're actually building a copy farm and a school and all of that. That just has to feel. So how's it work? I mean, every time you do something, do you pick? Now you do good, but do you take something with you like a human? Like you pick up a friend that said, Hey, man, I'm with you on this. Because bonds are formed when you threw adversity when you're helping people. So I know you got a lot of great people. Well, is that how you met your. I don't know if you're married yet, but you have a child with. Is it your girlfriend or are you married? We're basically engaged right now. We've been trying to get married, but I am. I have basically engaged now. Let me get a piece of advice. Yeah. Just from one brother. I'm actually what we want. It's just. Bro, the other man. Yeah. It's a. It's a. It's a funky figure right now because I have dual citizenship. And in my paperwork for my American citizenship was lost. And because I haven't lived in Canada, I have no ID, no passport from Canada. And my paperwork was lost. And I went and it's like a year and a half to get that paperwork back. There's no off. There's no phone number. It's just random and asking. You have to wait for a year and a half. Then it's randomly sent you a letter and said, you have 48 hours to go in for an interview. And I went and did that. And then my parents moved to addresses and they found it and they're like, hey, it's not the same two months ago. It expired. So I was just like, oh, my gosh. So we technically can't until I can prove. I can't even get my baby. A US passport right now because I need to show proof of citizenship in the United States. Like two forms of. Of, uh, you know, like not just the passport. Anyway, it's just kind of a pickle, but we're working on it. That's how the good Lord works, man. You want your butt right there, I guess. But is that how you met your acts of kindness or acts of works? Um, I met her in her mom. It was very cold. And so the day I went across the border from Colombia to Ecuador, the very next day was COVID. And that's actually how Murf's life really started was. Man, I felt like I was on that old movie war of the world. You know, there was like people going up and down the street saying, you're housed in your house. And I'm like, what in the hell is going on? I was stuck in the war. When everyone in the country that you're not from is freaking out. It was it was a trip, dude. It was a trip. But I was very wilder. I mean, I mean, if I think about it from that's a war perspective. Uh, it was, it was insane, man. I've never been to war. You know, I've been a lot of documents. I've heard a lot of stories. But what I saw is I have all of my social media rights. I see all of my family talking about, uh, we're getting the new chance, you know, for the government. We're getting COVID money. We're getting all that. And in these poor countries all over the world, people live day by day, right? So they go out to the streets and they'll sell a street food or whatever. They'll come back with three, four bucks. They don't have bank accounts. They don't have any of that. And in every country, at least here in Latin America, where I was at, she was shut down for a good six months. You only have a two hour window to outside and walk the streets to go to a grocery store. And you can't go with your whole family. One person can go into that store. And so I would, I stay between two places. I stayed with a grandma, a really humble grandma. And then I stayed in a Venezuelan, like war torn garbage apartment. So last year, Fox premiered the hit reality show, Special Forces World's Tophous Test. They took celebrities like world class athletes, pop stars and actors and put them through a grueling version of real special forces training. In the blistering desert heat, and now hell has frozen over. Special Forces is back, dropping 14 new celebrity cruts into the frigid, snow-capped mountains of New Zealand. Folks like NFL star Des Bryant, model actress Black China, Olympic champion, Bodie Miller and television personality, Jack Osborne, have all left their extravagant lifestyles behind to take on the biggest challenge of their lives. An elite team of ex-special forces soldiers will challenge these celebs, minds and bodies that will receive no special treatment and will be handled just like any new recruit. The goal is to endure 10 days of real danger, real consequences, and they'll take on tasks like crossing a ravine on a 4700 foot mountain peak and escaping from a helicopter submerged in icy waters. There's no prize, no winners, only survival. Can they make it to the end without giving up or being medically disqualified? Don't miss out on Special Forces World's Tophous Test. All new Monday is on Fox. And I just, I made friends with them, you know, I slept on a mattress for about four months, but I found it a dumpster just laying outside like a really nasty old mattress, you know. And at night, like, you can hear kids crying of hunger, you know, like people were eating cardboard with old oil just to feed their kids. And people were getting arrested. Like, if you go out in the streets, the military would be there. You know, so there's some real freaky stuff, you know, like in that sense. But for me, I felt like this solid, you know, because when I was drinking, I had panic attacks. I had 80% of my day, my hands were shaking. And you know, my dad had panic attacks. I'm thinking, maybe this is red parry. I'm going to be on that next now. And that was kind of my big thing. Like what led me to here, but I felt this peace and this comfort when, you know, maybe kind of like explain like about the freakiness and this is kind of my, my testimony and my faith in God is, I remember I was laying on that bed, you know, just hearing these noises of like realizing people are hungry, you know, I couldn't go home anymore because all the planes were shut down airport. And I'm sitting on this bed. And I felt the Holy Spirit come into my body. I felt God come through my body so much that my hands were shaking like this, you know, just kind of shaken. And it was, I don't know what it was, but it was, it was from God, you know, and all that said to me was beware of the appearance of evil. And, you know, for me before, like, I would use my social media. I don't have a snapchat because my snapchat was taken down because I filmed a snapchat when I was living with, with, you know, a, in a wildhouse, I'll say, I was living in a wildhouse, it's just like strippers, and I filmed someone doing illicit drugs on certain body parts, like with everyone naked, like that's the kind of stuff that merps like these uploads. And, and so for me to have this. So for the freaky part was when I truly went through my life here and, and I went and I developed a strong relationship with God of, of prayer for about five hours a day in my heart and the morning and night. Being in that freaky moment was, it was joy because I, no matter what I have, I have God, I have Christ in my heart, no matter what, you know, and that was a beautiful, beautiful thing for me, no matter what happens if war comes, is when the next famine comes when COVID 10.0 gets pumped out on all of us, you know what I mean? Like, it didn't get a matter because I slept on a mattress and the trash in some shit hole where I had to share four, one toilet with four families with no toilet seat pitch everywhere. And I was still able to feel joy, you know, that's, that's what I tell, that's what I tell everyone that comes down, you know, and all of my friends are mostly like spiritual or atheist or, you know what I mean? And then I tell them, it's like straight up. It's like you want to, you want to experience, you don't know what joy is. And so you experience God coming into your heart like that. There's no, there's no ex to see, hi, there's no, you know what I mean? And, and that tingle that we feel when we go out and we do charity, I think that God allowing us to feel a piece of heaven when we should always have that with us. You know, like, like, I don't think life is about getting these quick hives, you know? That's why we become addicted to nicotine and coffee. That's why we become addicted to pornography or even like cheating on our spouse. We always want to feel some type of tingles, some type of high. But when, when you do something consistently, you know, that's in the benefit of God, that's in the benefit of your body. You know, like, that's when you can develop something that's better than a quick joke, like a quick high. But it's not joy, you know what I mean? Like a tuning fork. You just got to find your right frequency. And that's actions in the day. And the people around you always explain this to the data. So every person when they talk their own vibrational tone is like a radio station. They're birthdays, the radio dial. Right? This is that I heard this. I was like, that's pretty good one. And I'm like, all right, man. So there's some people out there, bro. You and I are sitting around like I can send this to you talk all day. I mean, you got one of those easy listening voices means part country. Some other stuff in there mixed in. I was like, I can listen to you talk. I tune into that station. And there's some people you can't. That's the weirdest thing. And then I mean, ultimately what happens is when you find your way to God. And there's no other feeling like you're right. It's a thing. There's no if ands or buts, maybe's or not. Since you know it's if it's happened to you or if it hasn't. Yeah. And your day and your actions, man, is the more you get aligned with that and get this kind of like guiding you. And there's no. Every other drug or anything gets in the way of that is what happens when you get when you get that in your head. Like, hey, man, take this for if you're hurting. I'm like, wow, what will I do? You know what I mean? This is like, I got something real in here. I don't want to interrupt it. Marcus and I. Yeah. Gone on a similar journey in our lives, sort of path, whatever you want to call it. A couple of years ago. There is no alcohol in our house. There's nothing. And we have just really devoted ourselves. To our church and our church community and. I'm born as a boring. I'm absolutely. I'm having the best time though. That's the it's a crazy part about it. I mean, not boring to us. It's a. Yeah. Yeah. But, but giving back and really just our actions of like, of service and. It is a whole new lifestyle, but it's so fulfilling. And when I watch your page, like yesterday, I was watching it with my sister. I'm bawling my eyes out at the, at the little girl Nicole. And I wonder for you. Are there some of those. Some of the families that you have just really attached to. And they've become part of your family. Yeah. Quite a few of them. But I'm kind of at the point right now, you know, where I can't allow myself. To give too much attention. You know, just because we. We're kind of a small team. You know, and, and we now have four farm. And I usually just upload the videos of the people I don't show too, too much. I've everything that we're building around it, which I want to change that. You know, I hired a new camera guy. But it's like we're building out four farm. And every farm has a committee resort with like restaurants and Airbnb, you know, Reynolds. And, and then those farms have certain food on it. You know, we have, we've got a thousand. Have a cotton lemon lime trees. We're going to put in about 11 fish farms. Hopefully by next week. The big old fish. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We got the toy factory. We built a women's shelter and inside of that women's shelter. I just think it's bad at man. And I never would have thought like I was going to build a women's shelter. But it's little things like that where it's like, OK, you know, like every, every single morning. I, you know, in my church. It's like it was a very, I don't, I'm not really to go to church right now, but when the church I grew up in. That'll always be a part of me. It's more of like a very like kind of quiet, you know, like feel the spirit kind of thing, you know. But I'm always around. We're kind of like byproducts of who we're around, you know. And so in Latin America, it's like a lot of like Halloween, like the blood of Jesus Christ. Kind of thing, you know. And I've never seen that. So sometimes when I'm in a shower, I like, you know, I like that energy. So I just be like this, you know, and I'm going to be like, like God Jesus Christ. I'm not the one with the most faith. I probably have one percent of faith to do. I have one percent of faith. But I know that's enough. You're going to show me what to do with this money. You're going to show me what to do. Thank you. Thank you. And I just kind of like give my prayer like one in the shower. And, and it was just happening. You know, I felt, don't feel bad about that. I think there's some people down here that can just do that. Yeah. Like they can do the Halloween. I mean, it's not the, I do that too. I mean, hey, when no one's looking like God, thank you very much. Hallelujah. But for whatever reason, when everyone's around, I'm not trying to keep, I just, it's not that I'm trying to hide it. I'm trying to shift gears. I'm like, you know, some people aren't. Yeah. It's full of the Holy Spirit as you want, man. But I don't hit you like that. I come at you a different way. I just stand there. I've seen that. I think for a lot of people, too, there's nothing wrong with that about that. I think it's really good to have like, like a personal. Sure. You know what I mean? Like a personal relate, like a personal relationship. You know, like if everyone has a personal relationship. With God in their closets, right? If everyone had like fast by themselves without like pushing that out in public, you know what I mean? We don't need to be out in the streets and like screaming and yelling and having these megaphone microphones. It's just we just go out and live in harmony. Yeah. You know what I mean? Living harmony with people with different beliefs and whatnot, you know? So are you? I don't know. That's what I believe. I agree with that 100%. Do you? Are you going to ever allow people to come down and help serve? Yeah, 100%. I'll take the two of them. I think you get these things up and run and be like, hey, this sucker's up and we need some tourism in here. You got to get to. Yeah. 100%. So we have some pretty big plans right now. I don't want to just be doing like small videos, small videos, small video, like, you know, I recently did a few videos. Like usually once a month, I'll put out a quick one. You know what I mean? We're like here's some cashiers that I really, really love my passion is finding one family and building them a forever home and a business. That's my passion right there is that big old business. You know, and we've done a lot of things. We've built coffee shops. I built, I gave a guy a semi truck. One of the, one of the families I lived with during the pandemic about on that big guy semi truck. And this guy used to haul me around during the pandemic. He used to haul me all around. He would take fruits because they were the only ones, you know, delivering foods. He'd take fruits from Columbia driver to the border of Peru. He'd be going to Guayaquil and I'd be hiding in that bunk bed, you know, while the military are stopping all the vehicles looking. I was hiding the blanket, you know, I mean like a little kid. And it was, these were the little things, you know, before I'm like, you know, I always go back to God because it's, it's a real, real thing for me. And I'm never afraid to say that, you know, even though I have like a horrible custom mouse, you know, I'd be like, I'm all right here, but I always, I have God, you know.

I'm having fun as a kid and I always remember these scriptures that people tell me like past to tell me all over the place. That you know before you come before you can enter the kingdom of having you must become as a child and it's these things that God teaches me like for us to really become great creators. We have to let go of that like serious, like at least for me, you know what I'm in the most serious of time. I like I could see the things that we've created at accelerated rate is when we're living in a state of joy and excitement and vision and most of our purity with it. I mean like I really have to keep myself clean from from a lot of things. I'll notice like little weird things that I'll start kind of moving over to and I'll feel like things will just slow down with even donations, you know, when I'm moving away from my mission. But going back I'm just going crazy right now that but going back we definitely do so our farm here that we're on. This is my neighbor's farmer right beside mine, but we have so for example we have and on the farm we have a restaurant in the middle. So basically like I'm asking God like how can I create a self sustaining nonprofit right I've met a lot of big nonprofits and they're starting to like. They offer me some big checks like I will put you on a first class flight and pay you $100,000 to teach our team how to how to raise funds like you do. And then I start thinking about that I'm like I'm too busy right now to do that. But I think about like how can I make my foundation sustainable I take a family and I'll build you a house and I can send your kids to school. And I'll give you a business like the man on the semi truck went from making $380 bucks a month to this month bringing in for about $4,000 with his own trucking business, you know what I mean. So how can I do that with with the nonprofit and keep everything under the 501c3 so we can create a society that doesn't have these board of directors that want all this cash cash is all about profit. You know so right now we have an amazing restaurant that we're building on this and then we're building about six Airbnb is all around it and these are going to be about $500, $600 a night Airbnb. And that's what they go for on this mountain here and people pay for it like all day there's one up the road 600 bucks a night has a little swimming pool in front of three weeks both in advance for 600 bucks. So so that's the whole point of this is we create these things where it's self sustainable let's say we have one farm that can bring in $50,000, $60,000 a month of pure cash that comes into that 501c3. Now I can take a community of people who are washing the bed people who are who are attempting to these food crops we're going to donate all this food to the orphanage they can eat good food or they can set up big free stands on 100% of that profit will go in and they can pay for their education school book whatever right that's the purpose of the food here we have tilapia that we're going to be donating give some quality protein. But now I can take that money in and I can take you know let me give you an example here this mountain right here is is it's mostly in all the mountains behind it starbucks five right they come in here and they buy it and and a couple of the coffee brands that are really popular on podcast will come in here and they'll both buy it and they'll go and they'll be like you know like we buy fair trade coffee we buy fair trade coffee so I'm in the process of buying another farm that we could build a community where people can see what they're doing. Where people can spend $50,000 to buy a lot from the 501c3 to get a tax right off but then you own your own piece of land and this is a community I want to build for people who are like you know it hits the fan anywhere else you have a little piece of land or you can put it on there be and be it read it out or have a little piece of land up in the mountains you know that every I want to have everything that will come with like five fish farm and the fish farm we collect the rainwater we have solar that's what we're building here now that's our next phase. But these coffee brands this is what I want to do with this coffee they show is you know our coffee brand is bubble bomb people are spending like five damn dollars to drink a cup of coffee and because I'm buying a coffee farm I'm going around and asking them like yeah we sell to these brands I'm like I know these brands I know these brands and I'm writing it all down on my phone well how much coffee can I get from about a neighbor okay okay you know all of my notes I'm doing my research before I make purchases like this how how many workers do I need to have you know so so. Someone here for about 182 months on us, which every month on us two acres, so what is that like, three, 64, 364, you can hire 40 people. And we sell to these brands. And if you sell 100 pound coffee bag, you could sell that like right now, you know, you could, if it's the best of the best, you could probably get $150 to Starbucks or a 120 bucks to these coffee brands, you know, that are all in California and shit like that. And I'm like, okay, how much, if I buy this farm and I'm taking over, how much do I have to pay them? And they go, we only pay them 150 bucks a month. Yeah. That's all you got to pay them 150 bucks a month. And this shit here is a straight up mountain. And they're children are carrying these coffee bags with them. And maybe get 150 bucks a month, you know, like food here in Latin, like gasoline is $4.60 gallon down here right now. I mean, depending if you do on super regular, it's like almost California prices. Yeah. Food is maybe 10% cheaper in a grocery store that it is in a Walmart in the United States. Eating out is cheaper because you don't pay people shit down in these countries, you know. Going to the dentist is cheaper, just like labor, you know what I mean, that's down. So I'm thinking about it. I'm like, this is a damn scam we're living in right now. This is like, you know, so I'm excited. I went from one family, Juan Carlos now to helping out families. So now I want to take these coffee brands. And because I'm not the CEO, I'm just, I pay myself right now $6,500 a month. And that helps me travel the world and let me live beautifully. And this is actually my first month I ever paid myself. I gave those first four years to God. And all I did was just cover like my basic expenses. My wife yelled at me. We have a damn baby. We need to speak so we need to, if you die, what the hell am I going to do, you know. That's the whole point now. Baby thing, they can get you every time with that. I didn't know. I got to think I'm on that one too. Yeah, yeah, you gotta do something for them. That's the whole point of these farms now. That's where I'm shifting merciless life is we take stories like Nicole, you know. We raised about $200,000 with Nicole's story. And we were going to get her medical stuff taken care of, build her a house and then build her at school right in front of her. So she don't have to walk two hours a day. That school is going to cost us a half a million dollars. But people came in now like the big donors and stuff and brands and we got that covered, you know. But it's things like that where we can raise on average $100,000 per fundraiser. And always we put in the details of what we're going to do. And then it goes towards the bigger project. And so right now we're just working on really rocking this farm here. This is going to be the model. And then I want to take this to and do four or five million dollars fundraiser. The five million dollars we can buy by this farm. We could hire out 300 people Airbnb's. You guys can come stay at these Airbnb's and we'll book it out for volunteer program to do a church mission trip on average is 2 grand a week. So imagine we bring out 40 people a week. We talk to a bunch of churches or even non-religious ones where they come down. And they're helping us build all the houses for the people and all that money. For me, it's just like, what if I could pay people a US wage in a poor country? That shit's never been done before. So that's what gives me that tickle right now.

How do you select the families who start in the middle? When you first start out, I mean, how do you start that? How do you find the people you just, I mean, when you come in, you sell this. Like, hey, man, this sounds like a good idea. Or they say, how's that work? Like the people I help, how do I find the people I help? Or what do you mean? The people that you help? Yeah, how do you find the people that you're helping? I walk around like a crazy person all day. It's what I love to do. I walk around. I like to walk around. I thought you did. Yeah, I like to walk around really poor areas because they won't recognize me. Sometimes in the city, they'll be like, hey, that guy from TikTok, we're getting, you know, but I like to walk around really, really poor areas. Sometimes I'll look for on Facebook down here because people will go in and make videos, like it's kind of popular down here and they'll show like these crazy stories, you know? And for example, with Nicole, so when I came down here, I met up with the president of El Salvador and I, Geli, he totally changed his country. Put everyone in an MS-13 and DSCO sure they're all in prison. And it's the safest country in Latin America by far right now. But through him, the first lady, his wife Gabby, she has a program called like the well-being of our country and it's all about charity and the lady who's in charge of that. She became a good friend of mine and she, they take all the insane cases that come to the government. And if there's budget, they can help these people out. And so if I don't have someone, I don't find someone. They're the ones who showed me Nicole. They're like, Aaron, the girls, the sweetheart, you know? So they drove me over to meet that girl. But for the most part, I'm just walking around. That works growing. It helps somebody. I mean, that, that, nothing travels faster than the word of mouth, man. Well, Anne, I feel like if you're just walking around, just going into these really remote poor areas, I feel like God is leading you to these people. If you're just with you in your intention of finding a certain address or a certain person, it's going to show up. It will show up for you and walk around and take that leap of faith. And you might reopen the Amazon brother. But I think move it. It's cool. We are so proud of you. And we really just, we can't wait to go down there and visit whenever you have this. Oh, yeah, I appreciate that, man. Thanks a lot. Yeah, yeah. Now we're going down here. We'll rent out the whole thing for a week and help you out, however we can. And I mean, we love what you're doing. So Marcus said before you came on before you logged on, he was like, this guy is up for stint hood. So he might, you might actually be getting that. Sounds like it's good stuff, man. Yeah. Because I look at, I see the adventure part of it too. I don't know if that appeals to you, man. I mean, it's a work thing, but it's also, think about, take titles, take all those kind of description out of it. I mean, go into a different country, walk it around and doing that kind of stuff, man, that's an adventure. Like you can't even, yeah. Every day something new. Yeah, like it is over here. People can get nudged into something, man, and they'll do it their whole lives. And it'll be the same thing. Yours is different every day. Yeah, every day, man, we're going to new areas. I'm going into, you know, depending on some countries, like, I'll have to walk around with like bodyguards. I've had to go into certain areas with military agents about help certain families and it's like straight up, I've walked into areas where like, you know, Salvador, we were straight up ran by gangs where they're like, MS-13 mother effort, you know, in Spanish, like, lifting my shirts up, like pulling guns on me. And it's weird, you know, like, I have to steer my entire light about going to the dentist or the doctor. I'm just like, I got cancer, like, my lungs hurt. I got cancer. I have a headache, I got a brain tumor. I was always like that, you know? But I can go into an area in like, like, kids have pulled guns on me. And I just look at them like, man, what are you doing? I'll joke around with them and they'll put it down. We'll start laughing, you know, kind of high five. And I don't do that anymore now that I have a child. But it's like, I love that high of just life, you know? Just coming into these areas of witnessing and having that every day is, you know? I don't like planning for a lot of stuff. Like, I just like to, like, I don't know what I'm going to do next week. I don't know. Like, could we set up just, you know? Like, no, I don't, I might be in another country. You know, it's really, it's a really fun. And every time I do that, it's like, like, the thing you were saying about the cake, you know? She specifically asked for a cake, you know? Like, when you really, that can happen on the daily for anyone, you know? Like, if you take five dollars and put in your pocket, like, all I have is five dollars to give. I'm trying to see my kids that got bills to pay. And you talk to God and you really do. Like, you do that with the face of a child. And you say, God, I want to give this to someone to five bucks to someone who needs this five bucks. Like, it's not going to surprise you anymore. When someone comes up, it's like, I need, I'm like missing five bucks for milk for my baby. I'm missing, you know? And I see that at first. I was like, oh, what a coincidence. Like, I'm living in the matrix. But now I'm like, no, all this like, matrix shit talk. I'm like, this is God, you know? Like, we're down here in God's creation. And we have the ability to create these beautiful moments to give out cake to people every single day, you know? Every single day, we try to clear the clutter of what the internet and the public and politics are pushing in our faces and the news and all this fear shit, you know, it's like, we can be in a place to really serve people and serve God. And it's nothing about, I just look at charity as like, oh, this guy's just in it for the money or like, you just want to look good or all that shit. Like, no, dude, like, this is a beautiful thing. And I think it's going to open up a lot of career paths for people. And there's a lot of work to be done. And there's a lot of change that needs to happen in our culture. There's a lot of greed that we need to get rid of. And I'm excited to be able to create now brands and to create places where people can come down and stay and to witness that money, you know? And I have some people from my team and I have some people that want to come in with, you know, so in big numbers. Like, what can we do with $40, $50 million now to build you a brand? And I look at it, you know? And I think about that. And I'm like, and I went down, I'm like, I don't want that none of that money, you know? Because I told God that my only boss now is going to be God. I'll always have one boss, you know? Who do I look up to? I don't ever want to have someone who wants to have commissions and stuff, you know? Like, I want to be on my deathbed. However, that's going to be, whether it's going to be from old age cancer, if I'm going to get gunned down one day, like, I don't give a shit how it's going to be. I just ask God that I'm lying there dying. I want to feel like great joy and a knowledge that I've built all of this with society. I've created a portal for God, like a beacon of life for people to know, to open up the minds that we can, you know, create things in this life where people can get paid honestly and decently. Basically, that's it. Like, I want to create a shift in people's minds, you know? Especially those that do have a similar faith that that life isn't just about, you know, like, going out and getting the best car and the biggest vehicles and putting like hundreds of millions of dollars in your bank account, like this shit that, you know, we've been like kind of brainwashed by Hollywood. But it's like, what's the biggest impact? What, how can we make this plan a little bit better? And, you know, I don't know, it's just this, this is the thing I think about 20, 24, 7. Well, you're doing great. So, man, how can we help? How can our listeners follow you and help you out in any way? I mean, biggest way to help right now, assuming we're going to have volunteer programs, but just watching videos, sharing, and we have a Patreon, it's patreon.com for us live. It's Murf's Live, if we're just donating however you want on Murf's Live Foundation.com, because we have a lot of cool things. I want to start building more of these farms. And, you know, I look at these farms as like cities of light, like miniature cities of light, you know what I mean? And like, it sounds totally crazy. But like, I talk to some of my really close friends, I don't even talk about this much, but I'm like, you know, how cool would it be? You know, like some of my real Christian friends. And I don't talk about this, because a lot of my subscribers are not Christian. They don't believe in God, they're very, you know what I mean? It's all walks of life, you know? But I love this idea because I'm like, imagine, you know, like if everything is true, you know what I mean? Imagine if we actually live in a time that it talks about like revelations, and that goes down. You know what I mean? Like, imagine if that really does happen. And we got like a hundred farms with all this food and all this fruit that we can invite women and children to come into and have a place of refuge, you know what I mean? So that right there that I can't post on my page, that is one of the biggest things for me that if we go through some type of catastrophic, whether whatever happens, I'm like, how cool would it be to have places that has food that can go into people? If there's wars that people can have little places of refuge to go in, you know, that's one of my biggest passions about now moving into, into these farms. God bless you, man. Yeah.
