Purpose In The Youth

Haters gonna hate and what are we going to do? Absolutely nothing. Smile and not bite back at what they have to say because WE don't have the time for it. We're so focused on what WE need to do that we brush it off and continue to keep moving forward. The "haters" are people who've yet to find their passion/purpose and are so jealous of US because we have the guts to throw ourselves out there unknown of what is going to happen. That won't ever stop us from doing our thing because we see the vision and we know where we're headed. - If you enjoyed this podcast, please screenshot + post it to your Instagram Story tagging @PurposeintheYouth.

2 years ago today (August 31, 2016) I launched Purpose in the Youth podcast with no idea of where it would take me. I was a recent college grad who set out to find a passion/purpose and so I launched this podcast talking to those who had found theirs. 99 Episodes later, here we’re today. I can ramble on about my story but by now I’d imagine most of you probably know it. The Uber Driver, the “World’s Favorite Bearded Man”, the guy who loves creating Content with a capital C and someone who loves people. If you told me where this podcast would take me and the people I would connect with along the way, I’d say you’re bullshitting me. Yeah it has taken a little bit of luck but really it’s been a formula of being relentless, consistent, positive and keeping my eyes on the prize. Today I’d like to share with you guys + gals a mini-doc of what the past 2 years have been like. Although you’re listening to this on the podcast app, I highly suggest checking out the video on my YouTube when you get a chance. Thank you

If you wake up everyday and treat it like it's the one, you will maximize every opportunity, every interaction you have with someone and you will be on your A game at all times. It also sets you up so when that day does come, nothing changes. You've been preparing for that moment for weeks, months or years but it doesn't matter because you're ready for it.  - If you enjoyed this podcast please screenshot, post to your Instagram Story and tag @PurposeintheYouth.

You're no less of a person because of how you make your money or the actual amount. It can be easy to compare yourself and think you're less but that's far from the truth. Keep hustling, keep stacking every $1 you get and it will pay off. I believe it and so can you. - If you enjoyed this podcast please screenshot, post to your Instagram Story and tag @PurposeintheYouth.

Parker Burr is the Co-Founder of FEAT. What started as him and his partner Taylor Offer standing outside of their college cafeteria selling socks to students as they walked by evolved into something much bigger. In 2017, they were picked for Forbes 30 Under 30 in the Retail & Ecommerce space. Born & raised in Simsbury, CT, one of his early passions was Lacrosse. With the entrepreneurial mindset he had learned from watching his father run a successful landscaping company, he started buying and reselling hats he made at the mall. Fast forward he goes off to college at UMass Amherst and continues to build his company Promo Lacrosse. By his Junior year, the company had done 1.2 Million dollars in sales. During his Senior year he meets Taylor and they run with this idea of starting a sock company. That year they sell 20,000 pairs out of their backpacks to students on the campus. They graduate and get funded $250k from an angel investor and another $27k from Kickstarter. After they spend every dollar tryin

Reese Hopper is the day-to-day manager of Jeremiah Davis aka That One Blond Kid (Ep 71), a world traveling videographer and content creator. With the experience he's had from the entrepreneurship and freelance space over the past two years, he consults brands/creatives and helps solve any issues that they might have.

This week Noah (@Kxng.Tone) from Philadelphia, PA asked "Advice for someone who wants to do something but isn't sure if they'll be good at it?" Bearded Man Answer: The only way we can ever become great at something is by starting. Analyze your strengths + weaknesses and figure out how you're going to do the "thing" you're interested in doing. You're going to fail / fall on your face a million times, that's a given. I've done it and so too does every successful person in this world do it as well. The key is getting back up and learning as you go. - Please leave a 1 sentence review on the iTunes Podcast App. I appreciate it and so too does my beard! - Connect with your favorite bearded man, Bobbbaaaay: Instagram: @Bobbbaaaay Twitter: @Bobbbaaaay Subscribe to our YouTube Channel for new interviews (and more) Follow us on Spotify Follow us on Soundcloud Subscribe to iTunes Follow us on Instagram: @PurposeintheYouth 

Abstract is a recording artist on his first nationwide tour, Virtual Reality, alongside Ryan Oakes and Dylan Reese. Back in Spring of 2018, he played his music in Europe, 6,000+ miles away from his home on About Time, An International Tour with Yonas. Born in New Jersey and raised in Jackson, Wyoming he started playing music very young. He had always been artistic, loved to draw and write as well. Early on he found out he was adopted at birth and thought of it as a blessing because he could create who he wanted to be and   not feel tied to following the footsteps of anyone. Abstract did homeschool for a year so that he could focus on competitive skiing but with time he found his true passion was for creating and went all in on music. With years of trial and error, his studio became an environment for him to hone in on his craft. Even with all his producers living overseas, there has been a constant line of communication that is running 24 hours a day. No one is left behind and if he eats, they all do as well.

Was great to connect with Zack Honarvar for Episode 95 Shoot Your Shot. Not only is he the manager of Yes Theory + Founder of One Day Entertainment but he is another bearded brother! That’s always an extra 2 points in my book. Having seen what Yes Theory was doing over the past 6/12 months and stumbling across Zack’s Instagram / reading into his story I knew this was someone I had to get on the podcast. I respect people like Zack who know what they want and are willing to do everything / anything to make it happen. Hustle is something that can’t be taught to people. You either have it or you don’t. - If you’re enjoying Purpose in the Youth, please leave a 1 sentence review on the iTunes podcast app. Thank you from both the beard and I! - Connect with Zack Instagram: @Zack.TheCreator Instagram: @OneDay.Ent   Follow Bobbbaaaay on social media: Instagram: @Bobbbaaaay Twitter: @Bobbbaaaay Subscribe to our YouTube Channelfor new interviews (and more) Follow us on Spotify Follow us on Soundcloud Subscribe to iTune

My good friend James Berkeley (Episode 12 of the podcast) asked me about anxiety/depression and how to help overcome them and find the energy to break out of the norm and pursue your passion. This is my opinion. Take it for what it is. Beating Depression: - Eat Healthy + Workout 5/6 days a week - Communicate with POSITIVE people / cut out the negative ones - Be cautious of what you consume on social media - Write 3 things you're most grateful for in the morning + at night - When something negative happens in your life, find 1 positive from it - Listen to podcasts like The Gary Vee Audio Experience, The School of Greatness, Short Story Long - Listen to uplifting music Beating Anxiety: - Be present + patient. Focus on this moment, not the past or future. - Live your life 24 hours at a time - Don't worry about what everyone else is doing, focus on what you need to do - Don't be scared to fail. You will learn more from the failures than the wins - Anytime you feel overwhelmed, close your eyes + breathe. Everythin

Zack Honarvar is the manager for Yes Theory, a group who creates videos proving to the world that the only way to live an authentic and fulfilling life is to do the things that make us uncomfortable. He is also the founder behind One Day Entertainment, a talent management and business development agency that is figuring out what it takes to become the best. Raised in Toronto, the hustle was in his blood at a young age when in 7th grade he started selling chocolate bars out of his backpack.  Watching athletes like Kobe Bryant and listening to rap music such as Jay-Z positively influenced him because he saw and heard what great work ethic can do for people. During his senior year at Wilfrid Laurier University in need of new laptop, he raised enough money to purchase one by selling advertising space on his MacBook to several businesses. He even got the company who was lasering etching the logos for him to do this service free of charge. He lasted 6 months at his first job out of college before landing a sales po

Even when things aren’t going the way I’d like it to go, I do my absolute best to stay positive. One easy way to do that is to take a step back and think about what you’re most grateful for. It’s like hitting a reset button and you’re like “Why am I even pissed?” cause like most things, the world isn’t going to end. When people screw you over, you don’t land the dream job, you don’t get into the college you’ve dying to attend, your photos didn’t come out that well from Coachella, your podcast had audio issues during the production (which I’ve been guilty of, booooo Bobbay!) or whatever it might be… what is the positive? What can we learn from it? Change the lense on how you see the world and watch how quickly you change the way you react to situations. Do you see something as a setback or do you see it as a valuable lesson to be learned that will help better prepare you for the future?   Always remember this : Positivity Is The ONLY Option. Period. - Please leave a 1 sentence review on the iTunes Podcast App.

Jordan Levine is the tour manager for recording artist Bazzi and works alongside Wasted Potential, an all around design & management company in the music industry. Raised in Vernon Hills, Illinois he always had an interest in being involved in the music industry. In high school he began to realize that he could do anything that he wanted and found ways to get involved. He booked his first show, flew in an artist from out of state and brought in 150+ people from surrounding high schools. Although money was lost, it was a starting point for him. After graduating from the University of Iowa in 2016, he locked in a gig to sell merch for Huey Mack on tour alongside Sammy Adams. From there, things started to pick up. He tour managed JMSN, did a one off show with Quincy, traveled 34 cities across the nation + 10 European stops with Witt Lowry and had a chance to be an assistant tour manager for G-Eazy. Today he’s working full-time for Bazzi as they head out on The Cosmic Tour and get ready to head to Europe alon

Greatness is my motivation, it’s as simple as that. I don’t know why, I don’t know where it stems back to but I want to be great in every way possible. I want to strive everyday to become just a little bit better than I was the day before and continue to do so moving forward. There’s the highs and the lows, so don’t think I’m perfect cause I’m not! (my beard is tho hehe) but seriously I and all the people we admire the most go through these rollercoasters but I think what sets us back on track is reminding ourselves of what our goals are and not getting upset with the short term setbacks. Lewis Howes from The School of Greatness podcast always asks his guests the final question - “What’s your definition of greatness?” and I believe that it someone who continues to show up, who continues to push forward no matter what obstacle is thrown in their way. - Please leave a 1 sentence review on the iTunes Podcast App with your honest feedback.

Couple weeks back I went into Hollywood to meet up with Alexa Curtis to be on her podcast This Is Life Unfiltered to talk about my story, where I grew up, college years, launching Purpose in the Youth and my advice for people who’re struggling to get started. We had connected back in July of 2017 when the both of us were living in Boston and I had her on the show to talk about her story for Episode 43. Fun fact - she was THE first podcast I had ever visually recorded. Lighting was terrible, you could see my dresser in the frame but we for sure made it work. Just a reminder that we all gotta somewhere! This is the Behind the scenes of meeting up with her, shooting the podcast and a little “Bearded” action in the streets of Hollywood. I had a great time and think the podcast couldn’t have gone any better so make sure to check it out if you want to hear more about B-O-B! - Don’t forget to leave a 1 sentence review on the iTunes Podcast App with your feedback.
