James asks…
Should you save up money and leave your job? Or get income established from your own business before leaving a job?
Vlad asks…
Do you have additional tips for non-English bloggers with less exposure because much less people speak your language? Or it’s absolutely the same game as in an English blogs?
Vaios asks…
Do you plan on posting more about experiences you are currently having? For example posts about trips you take, places you visit, etc.
Rob asks…
What’s your opinion on casual sex? Society seems to convey the stereotype that everyone should be sleeping around. I’ve reached 28 and I have only slept with two women. Should I be getting more experience?
Otávio asks…
Is there any ideal frequency for posting new material when starting out blogging? As much as one can?
When is the right time to start monetizing your blog (such as publishing an ebook)? What sort of metrics or signals can we use to gauge the efficiency or proper direction of our website, especially in the beginning?
If you write about something on your blog believing it to be true, but later on find out that it was not (or that it was at least a partial truth), do you remove the old content, do you change it, or do you keep it as it was and just write a new post?
Max asks…
Do you have some questions yourself that you still haven’t found answers to or some concepts/ideas that are troubling you?
What do you specifically think about during chaos that enables you to make better decisions?
Sam asks…
What is your opinion about starting a business/blog in a market that is saturated, like weight loss? I’ve lost over one hundred pounds and understand the mentality of weight loss, but I don’t want to be drowned out by 10 million other people.
Anta asks…
What do you think about creating and selling custom apparel/merchandise designs online?
Zi asks…
Victor, why you deleted all Full Color Godcast records in all platforms? I only had listened few of then. In my opinion they had to strong attitude and maybe too much strong words but the core was a gem. Can you reveal your motives for this action?
Ryan asks…
Victor, how old were you when you first started lifting weights?
Floriao asks…
I’ve been having problems lately with my sleep pattern, I had time when I would wake up at 7AM and I would feel good. Do you think it is a MUST to wake up early for a human in general?
Vaios asks…
Victor, any advice on how to REDUCE the time necessary for sleep? I hate sleeping for 8 hours, during 30 Days of Discipline I slept less (about 6) and I loved having the extra time. I feel a bit grumpy in the first couple of hours after waking up from less sleep but other than that there is no difference.
Sanjay asks…
So I have started an e-business 8 months ago and I am making sales and I’m making quite a lot. But making this money has made me a little lazy and complacent. How do I move past this hump?
Scott asks…
I signed up for Badnet and started a blog 2 years ago….my life has totally changed for the better because all the doors opened up with e-business. How many people do you feel sign up for Badnet, and never follow through with it because the didn’t get the instantaneous results they expected?
Steven asks…
According to you, can we train the same muscles every day?
“The only way to hurt your body is to not use it.” -Jack LaLanne
Sebas asks…
What do you think about Patreon?
Sebastian asks…
I’d like to know what your new income stream is you are currently working on now.
Stan asks…
Best ways for a young man aged 19 to make money, online or in real life?
How can move towards living a more natural life, living in nature etc.?
Joseph asks…
What are your views on electromagnetic radiation, technology addiction and social media?
- iPhone - Settings - General - Legal - RF exposure
NEVER hold the phone to your head. Always use speakerphone or earbuds. It's like holding a microwave up to your head.
Marquise asks…
What do you think about that X3bar exercise equipment about staying shape on the road? I’m a truck driver.
How to stretch your Psoas:
Andrew asks…
Hi uncle vic,I am a filipino,a spartan warrior and a b n d reader,I am 22 years old no,65 kg and 5’5.I leave my family in the philippines from december 2017 and recently working at saudi arabia as a waiter and will for two years here with 400$ salary/month.I miss my home now and homesickness was growing. I want to ask if what would you advice for me to be able to stay motivated and fired up in life.I did gym membership here and eating more food everyday.Thanks
Silo399 asks…
What is a good diet/meal plan to follow during pregnancy? What should we avoid?
Matt asks…
What’s the best way to make money without having to 1. Commute 2. Travel 3. Deal with people 4. Be a people’s person? I physically hate my office job now and can’t take anymore. The money is good but I’m trapped in having to pay bills. I would rather be dead than carry on like this. I like the idea of online trading but don’t know where is the best place to start with it? The internet is a vast jungle of useful but also dangerous information..
It is a must to reduce your need for money. More important than making money is not having to spend money. You will never be able to become an entrepreneur if you have too many bills to pay. It is imperative to reduce your bills. If you don't reduce your bills, forget about quitting your job. “The richest man is not he who has the most, but he who needs the least.”
Jamo asks…
What do you do now in a daily basis? Still working from home, going to the gym and the grocery store? I actually want to know more about your mission. And when will you go back to the States?
Nathan asks…
What do you think about the MGTOW movement.
Alex asks…
Can you go more in depth into why Thai girls are not good marriage material? What countries in the world would you recommend to find a traditional girl? Already tried a few and the rot is EVERYWHERE.
Sebastian asks…
How can one think bigger?
Context: I started tattooing a year ago. I can now pay for my basic living expenses exclusively through tattooing, and my income continues to increase as my skills go up, as I am always working hard at this.
However, at the back of my mind, a voice continues to resonate, reminding me that I could go bigger. Yet I am at a loss of how to do that. Bigger doesn’t merely mean more money (or women), but also more influence, a larger network, a greater legacy. Empire. Kingdom. What are your thoughts on that?
Last minute questions from Sebastian…
Will there be another New World Ronin meetup? In Europe?
Do you believe the illuminati is real?
What are your thoughts on chemtrails, flat Earth, and veganism being pushed by the government?
Like Porky Pig once said, that's all folks!
Until next time.
Your man,
-Victor Pride
PS - I will get to all unanswered questions in the next B&D; podcast.
Thanks for this Victor! This is a good way to kixkstart the morning. Also thanks for answering my question.
Kickstart
Can’t wait to listen. OOOWWWWW!
Everyone, instead of wanting to leave your job to start blogging, how about you find a job that allows you to blog almost all shift, it’s like you are getting paid to blog. Call it maintenance pay just to survive until you make some real money with your blog, I know where you can work to make this happen. If you have any questions visit my site and email me or leave a comment on any of my posts and I will respond to you,
Yes, a very good idea.
A very interesting podcast, definitely the best one so far. I’ll be looking forward to more.
Thank you for your replies, Victor. Your answers helped me out.
You also ended up indirectly replying to most of my other questions, maybe on purpose.
Your investments are businesses, not unlike what you had mentioned before.
Translation might be interesting but you need to have a way of getting a verified return on it, and English is the best language for that. Logical. Still sounds like something that might be worth exploring in specific cases.
Cheers!
Thanks Otávio.
Hi Victor,
amazing podcast!
Can you please reply with the (affiliate) link to the microphone you are using? It sounds amazing.
Thanks,
Val
Hi Val.
For the mic I’m using the Shure SM7B: https://amzn.to/2MRvCJr
For the interface I’m using the Apollo Twin: https://amzn.to/2Qapl9S
Today I would not waste my money on the apollo twin, I would use something like this: https://amzn.to/2NSxnTj
UPDATE 09/11/18: If I were to buy an interface today I would buy the Audient id4 or the iD14: https://amzn.to/2NzbQSv
I record on Garageband and edit/compress/equalize on Audacity.
If you want a good cheap option I would recommend the Blue Yeti USB mic. You don’t need an interface with it and the quality is pretty decent (all of the B&D recordings done before 2016 were done with the Blue Yeti): https://amzn.to/2PKdiyW
Thanks for the simple answers Victor.
Victor!
I’d like to get your opinion on my latter questions. Sounds good. Can’t wait for the next podcast.
Good to physically hear from you again. Very refreshing.
Thanks for answering my question Victor. Great podcast
3 things:
*when u wil launch a paid membership content ?
*when u will destroy youtube with videos? u need a real hero there … that place is full of shit selling shit to ppl.
*when u will launch a “make a mark in world and make money” course with videos?
regards lad!
Is there going to be 2nd podcast soon? You sound much better than the recently published podcasts.
Yes, another podcast will come out next Thursday.
Appreciate the podcast and the tips with video for my question Uncle Vic.
Thank you for this podcast and for answering our questions! You are really good at this Vic, the words flow eaaaasily, and there really is a lot of power in a podcast. ESPECIALLY yours man. And what you said about not making posts about trips was on point. You can never enjoy the moment when you take pictures for “later”. The now is all there is.
I just finished university at 20 years old and I will never go back ever again, nor will I practice my degree. (computer science…yuck). I will get a bartender job and focus on getting laid good looking loser style and also expanding my skills to make money online.
Once you told me (By answering my question) on the Full Color Godcast to quit university but I did not listen. As a result I still have a good relationship with my father who’s business is important to me. Maybe I was wrong, but who knows. Followed my gut.
Reading your blog for 4 years , while growing up has instilled your concepts in my brain and I am glad for this because your tips are always right and have set my mind to where it should be. Maybe it is halo effect but everything you say and write resonates with me. Come to think of it you might have created thousands of mini- Victor Prides, haha !
I would watch your “Message for the young and hungry castaways” video often while enduring during exams cause it gave me motivation.
I have written a bunch of articles(always drawn from own experience, never copying) and plan to start my own blog soon. Already set up BADNET. I quit social media but I still want that connection but with like minded people. I hope I will attract them. It is going to be a great blog.
My invitation for you to come to Rhodes and explore the island with us will always be on the table :) Maybe next summer !
Till next time, have a great day Vic!
Vaios
Thank you Vaios. I might take you up on that one day.
Hey! Can you please make available that Full Color Godcast episode where you said “THANK YOU GOOOOOOOOOOOD”, I used to have that as a notification sound on my phone for motivation purposes.
Took me five years and I’m finally hitting success in my online business. Spent so long at 1k/month that 4k+ (residuals) are surreal. If I work hard, I can hit 10k/month by the end of the year.
If…
Took me ten years of half-assing it in the gym, not even able to squat 225, and one year of going hard and I’m finally exceeding my strength goals while losing the flab. If I keep up the grind, I’ll hit 315 by the end of the year.
If…
I’ve gotten more done in the last month than I have in the last five years. I worked harder than anyone else in my field, doing what they do in 1-2 months every single week. If I keep outworking them I can be at the top in my field by the end of the year.
If…
I should be feeling good but all I have is sickening anxiety that I’m going to falter. That I won’t be able to keep up the hard work. That I’m an imposter who doesn’t deserve success. That I’m destined to fail.
Thanks for this podcast. For the first time in a week, I know I can do this. I feel…
BOLD AND DETERMINED.
And when you’re Bold and Determined, there are no “ifs”.
My man.
Great podcast keep em coning
Glad t o hear your comment about Patreon. I’ve had it in the back of my mind and thought about digging into it but it seems like the time and dedication takes would almost have to replace regular blogging.
Thank god you are back with the podcast. I remember listening to it when you started the godcast and posting videos everyday sometimes twice a day. Motivating stuff
Hey Vic,
Great to see you diving back into podcast content - this was a solid listen.
I’m curious as to your current thoughts on building smaller niche sites in 2018? I know you’ve said before to just focus on building an authority blog, but what about building out a handful of niche sites at the same time while waiting for your main blog to gain traction? Could be online income coming in faster for some.
What do you think of starvation diet? You recommend raw food, but have you been on starvation? Can it help regenerate your body, get rid of toxins and some sickness?
I forgot to ask second question:
Do you, generally, like people?
Awesome podcast. Great to hear a new one and definitely hope to hear lots more in the future! Many others have said it before; this site should be required reading for all young up and coming men. It would actually help heal our society quite a bit and strengthen us.
Thanks as always for your work Vic.
What are your thoughts on the ketogenic diet?
Hey Vic, thanks for the great podcast. I´ve got just one question: Why should men support Amazon by buying things from it? The CEO supports gay rights and this is one of the main reasons why so many men are like little girls.
Keep the podcasts Victor! I enjoy them very much.
My questions:
a)The vast majority of the “Red Pill/Manosphere” information out there targets mainly people in their 20s. All of you (you, Mike Cernovich, GLL,etc) embraced your masculinity and started putting your life in order during your late 20s. What are the three absolute most important in priority tips you could give to a late 30s guy who seeks to escape from the world of mediocrity and start his own journey to become a MAN of Honor.
b)How do you deal with average people in general? With “normies” ? I don’t know if it’s only me, but I can’t stand being with them beyond……5 minutes…..and I’m generous about that. The only thing they occupy their time is ranting about things they can’t control, politics, gossip, sharing iPhone photos each other like 12-year-old childer, worshiping sports players and football teams’ owners who brought Ronaldo in their team……(how pathetic!!). They drain my energy massively. How do these guys really exist with this amount of loserness?
* “like 12-year-old children”
Hi Victor. Great work as usual. I really enjoyed listening to your answers.
I have a multi-part question for you: How did you get over your fear of travel? What were you afraid of and why?
I’m asking because I have a desire to travel as well as the means to do it, however I think there is some fear holding me back.
Thank you for your time,
Hoz
Hi vic, I am 19 years old, 5ft8 170lbs. I began lifting 3 years ago at 110lbs. However I have been stuck at this size for almost a year. What should I do to get to 180-190lbs and still be lean? Is this possible naturally and would arimistane be worth it or safe for my age?
Also, do you believe that performance enhancing drugs/steroids are essential to be “jacked”? Have you found the benefits to Outweigh the negatives and what age is best to start?
Thanks a lot!
Hi uncle Vic,I am 5’5.What do you hink? How much I can gain weight?
