I wanted to make sure that someday, after my passing, or when I get older, or anything like that, my family, or my lineage, or even people that recognize me, or people that want to tell a story about me, they can’t tell my story for me. I don’t need no documentary, I don’t need nobody making no video after I’m gone, I don’t need none of that. My goal was to have a video vlog, now that we have the technology available, to be able to capture exactly what my thoughts were, and the things that I were going through, and the things that I built, and the things that I’ve done, my losses, my successes, to basically have hundreds, if not thousands, if not millions of hours worth of content to archive and sort through, and so when I do content creation, my goal was never to just do content creation for money.
My goal was to tell a story, and then also, obviously, be rewarded as a result of it, which leads me into point number two. The second reason why I was in content creation was to give people a better perspective of who I was that allowed for me to be able to promote myself more effectively in corporate America. So it was a marketing tool. It was a way for me to be able to separate myself from the pack, very early in the game, to say, hey, this is who I am, and this is what it is that you need to get about me so that I can make your organization better, and it worked.
It was phenomenal. And then the third thing that I wanted to create content for, obviously, was to hopefully add value into people’s lives and then get rewarded and compensated as a result of it, right? But let’s go back to the very first thing. Let’s go back to the first point of documenting the journey. And documenting this journey, what I’ve realized is that I hear the stories and I see the tears and the sorrow, and I see the impact that is left on men every single day. Every single day, I see the impact on guys. Last night, it was a very incredible, entertaining show, but what I realized is the things that men go through can’t be quantified.
No matter how much y’all think it, no matter how much y’all wanna be it, no matter how much y’all think that y’all can be men, you can’t. You don’t get it. I wake up to no less than eight to 10 phone calls every single morning, and I’m cool with that because I love it, I enjoy it. But they all come from different places. One phone call gonna come from the, you know, from the job, from somebody that worked for me, and say, hey, Anton, I’m going through this, I’m going through that, and then I gotta figure it out, maybe send a family flowers.
So you putting out fires. And then you gonna get another phone call from a friend of yours, and they gonna say, Anton, I need your advice on this. And then you gonna get a phone call from your daughter, and your daughter is gonna be going through things because they’re your daughter, and they’re a teenager, and that’s just what they do. And then you gonna get a call from this person, and you gonna get a call from that person. Then everybody is going to want to control the narrative, or they’re gonna want to feel as, you know, like they’re impacted in your life, and they gonna only wanna be, they wanna be the center of attention for y’all for that particular timeframe that they’re talking to you.
They wanna be the only person, you know, what I’m saying that you’re paying attention to. And then you gonna get a call from this business person, you gonna get a call from that. And everybody wants your time. But nobody truly appreciates who you are at that time, and that moment, and what it takes in order to be a man. Because most guys have to do all of the fire putting out, but they never get any accolades and any credit as a result of it. Unless they’re gone. Most guys get no credit, but they putting out fires.
All day, every day. And nobody cares if you sick. I’m a little bit under the weather right now. And I’m not complaining at all. I’m using my life as an example in order to illustrate some of the things that all of these guys go through. Y’all go out there, and y’all put y’all lives on the line every single day. Y’all grind, listen. There’s guys, real men, listen, I know these TikTokers, they gonna paint this picture and act like, men ain’t strong, men ain’t taking care of, men ain’t about it, all of that. Men go out and they put their lives on the line every single day.
They go and work these jobs. They go home and they back be hurting. They be sick, but they know that they gotta go out there and take care of businesses. Because if they don’t take care of business, then the rent not gonna get paid. They know that their daughter’s tuition is coming up, and so they gotta work the extra overtime and they gonna put their whole existence on the line. It’s guys that do some of the most dangerous jobs, not so that they can be financially compensated. If a guy had the choice to take less money, most men take less money, be safer, live a longer life versus risk it all, and do some of the most dangerous jobs in order to make sure that their family is truly taken care of and protected, they usually will risk it all.
Most men I know. Most men I know will risk it all. They’re not doing that for them. What society and what women have to understand is that when men make the sacrifices that they make, 95% of the time and 95% of whatever it is is going on is for everybody else. It is not for them. When we go out and we work all of these hours, and even when you see me, you say, Anton, don’t miss, Anton, take care of business, Anton, Anton, on top of things. That’s not all for me. We put everybody, we put the whole world first.
We sacrifice ourselves on the battlefield. We sacrifice ourselves as police officers. Do you think these guys actually love being police officers? Do you think that people that put on that uniform and know that the majority of the country is going to hate them just because of the uniform that they put on, but they don’t necessarily, you know, they’re not making a lot of money? Most police officers don’t make $100,000 a year. They kicking in doors, taking drugs off the street, protecting people, the first responders, and you know what they get? Hey, you know what they accept? Their fate.
You know why? Because they do what they got to do in order to make sure that they do their part in society. It’s guys every single day. You know, I look at those, I look at some of the hyenas that was on the panel last night and we’re going to talk about it on after hours. I look at the take, look at, look at take a, I love to check because y’all always my co-hosts. Well, the men in America today, I ain’t going to hold you not really on what you speaking on. They should be. How would you know? You talking to the ones or you looking at the ones that’s the loudest in the room.
Most men ain’t even talking on social media. They just going out there and getting it. Every single day. How can you make us a monolith? Should I, should I compare women? Should I say all women are a reflection of what it is that I seen on the panel last night? Should I? Real talk. I’m telling you. Most men take care of their children. Most men trade in their lives. Most men are quiet. They, they going to get it. They taking care of business. They don’t complain about it, but they just want peace. They genuinely want peace.
And so I’m always amazed when people say some of the stuff that they say because they do the jobs that y’all don’t want to do. I’m looking at these guys and these cranes and these cranes are swaying back and forth with the wind. It’s anchored into the ground. I see the same guy. I’m looking at him right now. I’m sure he can see me pointing at him. I look at this same guy. It’s not a different guy. He climbed up this ladder that is higher than the top of this building. That’s above 25 floors. And he get in that crane and he’d be in there.
Wind slow, snow, sleet, fog, all of that. He jumped into that crane. This guy right here. Let me show you. This guy right here. He is in this crane right here, right there. He climbed all the way up from here and in the thick of the night he climbed all the way up and he jumped into that crane. It’s another one. That’s right there. He in that crane right there. I look at these guys every single day. Every single day I look at these guys. Honest to God. And people expect. They expect for them to be there.
They expect for their power to be on. They expect for if it’s raining outside or if it’s a tornado or hurricane. Why ain’t my power all the way? Look, he’s turning the crane right now. He’s literally turning the crane right now. Crazy. Insane. Honestly, it’s insane. They get no appreciation. I see linemen. They get up there with all of that voltage and electricity going through these lines every day. Y’all just wake up and y’all expect for y’all power to be on. You expect for the gas to be working. You expect to have safety. You expect it.
You’re not appreciative of it. You’re expecting it. Dr. Butcher, you trash for that. That’s my money that you’re messing with. I don’t like that. I might have to go ahead and mute you next time that you give that type of advice inside of the chat because you’re messing up the bag. We like ads here. We like ads here. All I’m saying is that it’s a thankless job for a lot of guys. Y’all, it’s funny because I don’t think that most of the women qualify for the men that they say that they want. And I don’t think that they’re thankful enough and appreciative of the men that’s happening and putting it down every single day outside in these streets.
