100 million for my private conversations. I need some money from that. - Yes, yes, for real, can I use this app better? - To my advantage. So that's these younger generation names, they're studying the app, 'cause they think, how can I make money with the app? - Yes. - We have to realize something. When you promise all the profits over a privacy and you're doing things that's not right, you have to know what's coming, what's in the dark gonna eventually come to the light. If you don't stop doing what you're doing, when you break that trust, man, it's sometimes you lose. - I don't trust you in Facebook. - Yeah, you lose, when you break that trust, now it's hard to sometimes get that back. - It's a free product, you're the product. - You're the product. - I like that, underlying it, boldest. It's a free service, you are the product, yes. (upbeat music) - Let's chill. - Hello, Bonjour Ola, Sonny Bonani. - Namaste. - Well, I'm Chapla Chillish, yes. It's your boy, Coach Eljay. And I'm with my awesomeness, my best friend, my business partner, the one and only, the beautiful lady sees us, she is in the building. Yes, you know what today? Welcome to another empowerment and formative episode of Children with the Chaplas, you know, where we are elevating our lives, empower our businesses, united cultures, and feeling success, yes. So what's poppin' for today? - So today, we are actually gonna be diving deep into a topic that actually is close to home for people like myself and now, you know, like us, who are in the digital space. Did you hear what Facebook and Netflix have been up to? - Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm. - If you didn't know, now you're gonna know. - Yes. - So buckle up and get ready as we explore some cloudy storms of personal data sells with a startling revelation. - Nation, yes, yes. - Because Facebook just did us a number. - I mean, like, I'm big of a Facebook user than I am with any other. Well, you know, like the social media sites, I'm at that age where I just cannot let go of social, or Facebook, and yeah, I know, early 80s, you know, that's what happened. So we're gonna be talking about that because it recently came out that there's now a lawsuit that's happening where people like myself, the users, found out that we were tricked. 'Cause they keep extending these user, what you call that they make us accept. - Agreements. - Agreements. - And you don't read them? - Because they solve a lot. - Yeah, yeah. - And they do it very well knowing that you can't continue in a hurry to log in, and then they're like, accept. You're just gonna go to set and not read the whole thing. - Oh, you and I say, agreeing or accept, yeah. - Right, because like, and then, so that's how they try to cover themselves. - Manipulate. - And to cover themselves to say, hey, but you signed the contract, you agreed to the contract. Meanwhile, we're actually selling our souls. What you're about to hear is about to blow your mind away over what Facebook did to us with their buddy Netflix. - I'm telling you. So we're gonna be talking about the truth unveiled. Facebook, 100 million data sales to Netflix. You heard me right, 100 people. - Yes, I vote. - 100 million dollars, less dollars, that they exchanged in order to get our private messages. - Mm-hmm. - Not public. You're thinking, hi, this is private, it's between me and the next person. Well, unto you, we'll put out pictures that you don't want your parents to see, because Facebook is looking at Netflix. - Yes, laugh at you. - You're not Facebook, Netflix, because Netflix are the recipients, and-- - The new pictures of those pictures that you don't want your mama to see. But not just that. - I feel like it is really a breach of everything. Not just fast, not just loyalty, not just what. It's a bridge of privacy, more than anything, because when they say private messages-- - Pause me private, it should be private. - And it makes you wonder what, because all of these people belong to the same person, Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, 'cause you know WhatsApp has encrypted conversations. - Mm-hmm, but is it really encrypted? - That's a question, I wonder how encrypted it is. 'Cause they still have the data, it's still their data, so they still use it. Even though it's encrypted, but it's still in the cloud, it's still their data. - Absolutely, and this proves it, 'cause they tried to hide this happened last year, but they just been trying to hide it from us. It's been happening, and only now that it's been put out there by most media people to say, "Hey, hold on." They just use our private messages and got $100 million from that, which is insane. So today we're just gonna be talking about that, and unveiling this massive breach of trust that will affect us all. If you are once a Facebook user, you are-- - Or still are. - Or still are, you are affected, because apparently this dates back to 10 years ago. - Mm, 10 years ago. - So they went back 10 years. - 10 years. - And we do not know what Netflix is gonna do with this information. - Yeah. - But all I know is that some of us take pictures of our social security, of our IDs. - Mm-hmm. - We think we're sending it privately, but it's being sold out there, and maybe Netflix is gonna send it to the black market once they've done what they're doing, who knows where this information's gonna end up, but the point of the matter is we are not safe. - We're not. (laughing) - So can you just imagine your private messages and your private conversations and private pictures? (laughing) And those private moments being shared by Netflix. I mean by Facebook for Netflix enjoyment. - Mm-hmm. - 'Cause we don't know yet what Netflix is gonna do with this. - Yeah, 'cause basically it could be like used as a story line, you know, to create movies or whatever. 'Cause you got a member, you got different messages that you talk about, and this is how they were to, you know, see how different people react, and how people talk to one another so they could use those messages into a story. (laughing) - I don't know. - Especially with WhatsApp, you had different cultures, like a lot of people from different parts of the world use WhatsApp because this is how you relate to family members, that's in another part of the world. So you have a private conversation, you talk about different things, so now you're able, and you're speaking in your culture, about your culture, and so, you know, these messages can turn into movies, story lines. - I don't know, but what I heard as I was just digging a little bit, I heard that some people saying, "No, Netflix is saying." They are checking on conversations that we have. I guess when you mentioned the word Netflix, as you're chatting, that's what they are aiming for, to see what movies are you guys sharing, to get to say, "Hey, watch this," or whatever. It doesn't, I mean-- - Doesn't matter, that can be used for that, but there's also, it can be for other days too. We don't know because they have the date, exactly for that, yeah. Yeah, that's the cover up. - It's a cover up, sorry. - So the question is, how safe do we really feel in this digital space? For me, I'm like, you know, once it's out there, it's out there, no matter how you delete it, it's already in the PI, is it called the PI? - IP. - IP, a PI, private investigator. It's already in the IP, it's already in the cloud. There's no receiving it back. It's just the next commodity for these companies, and they're proving to us that they can recycle any of our information into major money. 'Cause a hundred bill is not small money. - No, that's not small money, yeah. - So let's talk about this big sellout that's happening, and understanding this deal, like, what do you think? How do we make, I don't even know how to articulate this? 'Cause it's just mind-blowing that $100 million for my private conversations. I need some money from that. - Yes, yes, for real, for real, yes, for real. But you know what, you know, like I said, this is why we always talk about, you know, be careful what you put out, just post just a post. You can use your messages, they can use your content for their profits, so yeah, this is really important. That's what you wanna be intentional with your posting, yeah. - So we now know that our messages have been sold for profits. - Yes, for profit. - Things that we were sending in confidence. Right, you know, if it was the public ones that you put in public, I'd be like, okay, I put it out there, I know what I'm doing. Private Facebook. - Yeah, no, and not just, private, not just, it's DMs and what's that messages? Private. - Is it also that, no, they just said Facebook. - Facebook messages, okay. Private messages are mostly on the messages from, it's on a message. - So what I'm saying to Facebook is that private Facebook? - Mm. - Private, are you doing us that dirty? - Mm-hmm. - 'Cause they don't-- - You know, Zach Zuckerberg, though, you know, he's gonna be-- - Zuckerberg is all about money. - Zuckerberg is all about money, you know. - He didn't get Facebook legally. (laughs) He got Facebook in one way, so-- - And that makes you think about the ethical considerations that they put in place. Like, I know they have an ethics department, but I don't think they're doing their jobs. But then I know that they always cover the, they will always cover their banks because they've got the best attorneys. - Yes, yeah. - 'Cause they knew that a lawsuit would follow and probably-- - If they might find out about it. - The lawsuit is going on as we speak. They just filed an April, 2023. - Yeah. - Let me just have a little read about, I'll share with a chaplain Chilis about that quickly. So this is court documents were unsealed last week 'cause this is, as of April 2nd, 2024. To form part of a major antitrust lawsuit. 'Cause it is an antitrust lawsuit as Facebook lets Netflix peak into users' DMs explode. - So DMs, there is the DMs messages, yes. - DMs. - Social media giant, Matt, Facebook, allegedly allowed Netflix to access Facebook, users direct messages for nearly a decade, breaking anti-competitive activities and privacy rules. So they broke all of that. - Yeah, yeah. Well, we know like some companies sometimes prioritize profits over privacy, you know? And they would, if they could get away with it, they would get away with it. So yeah, they would get away with it. So, but, and that's the thing, if they get caught, but most likely, probably with somebody, like a whistleblower that blew the whistle and said, you know what, this is not right. - I see the people who work with it and who like this is not right. - This is not right. And that's stand out for good. Like this could be me. So I'm people like, you know what, this could be me that they're doin' in. And they blow the whistle. - And so the lawsuit was filed April 2023. So it was filed this month. I mean, 2024, that's when the lawsuit was filed. That's the situation with Facebook and there's a lawsuit going on. So it's actually last April, 2023. That's the lawsuit has been happening. - Yeah. - Because they've been doing it for years and like you said. - They got away for a long time, but we always say, you know, here's the thing, it's a business only. We have to realize something. You know, when you prioritize profits over privacy and you're doin' things that's not right, you have to know what's coming. What's in the dark gonna eventually come to the light. If you don't stop doin' what you're doin'. So a lot of times, private Facebook probably thought they could get away with it, they probably do it. Now I was gonna, they're not gonna get caught, but eventually you're gonna get caught. That's just what, that's the name of the game. You keep doin' wrong, you keep doin' what you're doin'. You're gonna get caught. So you gotta, as a business owner, as a brand, you gotta think about the ethical consideration. You know, are you gonna prioritize profit or are you gonna prioritize your customers or your employees? And because if you do things the right way, then you're gonna always have that trust with your customers. You're gonna always have your trust with your vendors or customers or whatever it may be. But when you break that trust, man, it's sometimes you lose. - I don't trust you in Facebook. - Yeah, you lose, when you break that trust, now, you know, it's hard sometimes to get that back. I guarantee probably some people probably start leaving Facebook. - People have been living Facebook, but they are people like myself who are like, you know, loyal to Facebook. But after learning about this, I'm thinking twice, you know. Like, is it even worth it? But the thing is, whether it's Facebook or Instagram or Twitter or Twitter. - Or X, Tikta. - Yeah, they are. - The same. - Yeah, they are the same. - You're not even with the podcast, what do you want? - Well, just know that once you put your information out, even YouTube probably, once you put your information out there, you don't own it. - No, you don't own it. - It's on their platform. - Yes. - They can do whatever they want to do with it. - Yes. - So it's a matter of us knowing that they're going to put profit before privacy. - Yes, but for them, it's all about the bottom line. - Yes, it's all about the bottom line. It's all about how can a gang revenue and make more money and increase the market share and all the different things. So it's leverage. - Yeah. - And this is like with Google and they, with AI, that's why we always say Google have the advantage over a lot of the AI because they have more data. Google have, Google, Scala, all these people, you put all the data inside Google. They have all that data. They could do whatever they want to do with it. With your website, if you got a website, Google is on Google. - 'Cause they don't, I mean, the sad part is that these companies don't know where to draw the line, as well, they put these contracts out there or agreements if you want to put it for us. But knowing very well, like I said, that ever so often you find there's an update. What are they updating? 'Cause they know what they've just done. - Yeah, they know, yeah. - Yeah, they know what they've just done. For them, it's just getting that money. - Yeah, it's a scars for what they really wanted to do about every year, so yeah. - So, I mean, all I thought I was saying is I was just reading a couple articles, some people were commenting that no, they want to read these conversations that we have privately. So that, say for example, you mentioned about a vacation. And then all of a sudden you're getting all these ads, targeted ads about this vacation because you mentioned it. - It's not by surprise or by coincidence. - No, it's not by surprise, yeah. - It is by design that you are getting those ads. You spoke about classes, I'm uneven, you were set up for classes. And all of a sudden you're getting, that's what I'm saying, even just not, you don't have to type, you don't have to send you just. - Yes, you just say. - You just speak kids. And sometimes I think you just have to even think kids, and then it comes to you. They're reading all minds as well, these companies. I mean, for them, it's just a business. It's just business, business, business. So how do we draw the line? What do we do as consumers? - Mm-hmm. - How do we protect ourselves? Because this is a big deal. - Mm-hmm. - All our pictures are there. You know, and there's this thing on Facebook where people like Facebook store these for me. (laughing) That's for me. (laughing) Facebook is definitely storing for you. - Yes, definitely storing it for you. - And selling it. - Yes, selling it. - Yes, but again, it goes back to, you know, knowing what you want to put out there. - Mm-hmm. - Into the marketplace, you know, because Facebook is not what it used to be. Or any social media platform, not what it used to be. It used to be, you know, it used to be for, look, searching for lost friends and lost family members or people that you went to school with and just finding people that you used to know. - And reconnecting relationships. It's not like that no more. You remember before with Facebook, you had to be in college to join Facebook. You know, if you didn't have a college ID, you couldn't be on Facebook. - Really? - Yeah, when it first came out. You didn't know that? - I don't know. - It was for colleges. They came out in 2004. This is the 20th anniversary. - Oh, 20th? - Yeah. They only been around for 20 years, Facebook. - Feels like forever. (laughing) - Facebook has always been around. - Yeah, they only been around for 20 years and then YouTube came out private 2005. So yeah, 20 years, but it's, and you needed that college ID to get on Facebook. - 'Cause it was for, above 18. - No, it was for college students. Yeah, what you, and Mark Zuckerberg, when he, it was in college. - Right. - He was like, everyone for college students. And so, but Facebook is not like that no more. So it's a business now. And that's how you got to see. - And they're making lots of money with those ads. - Yes, they made lots of money. And that's why you got to see social media now. You got to see, when you own social media, you got to see it as a business. And so, and that's why it's very important that you had to see your profile, you had to see your page, you had to see all the different-- - Business card. - Oh, yeah, you got to see it as a business card. It's your business, it's your, it's so, what you want to put out there, what you want people to know about you, is that's what it's about. It's about what do you want people to see about you, about your brain. And so, because it's a business, because somebody profited from it, why not you as well, why you can't profited too. So if you, you know, yeah. - So how do we protect our digital footprint then? How do we do it as users? - Yeah, one-- - Talk about the script on using just encrypt apps. Yeah, using encrypt apps. - What's up, say they encrypt our conversations, but shh, do you think I trust them? (laughing) - But, you got to remember, it's a, it's an encrypted-- - I am. - It's, it's, it's encrypted from it. - So how private is it when they are the ones who is that way encrypting? - It's not encrypted from the person that designed the app. - That's what I'm saying. - Yeah, it's not encrypted from them. It's their app, it's their data. But it is encrypted from terrorism. - If they can encrypt it, they can encrypt it. - Yes, of course they can. But they can always retrieve the data because it's their app. It's their system, it's their system. So they can always still get the information, but it's encrypted from everyone else. - Right. - Besides, what's that? It's not encrypted from website because they're-- - But I don't think so, there's so much scams that happens on social media. I don't think so, even on WhatsApp itself, there's so much scam that's happening. - Because you got to remember, hackers always could find a way to get into it. Yeah, they always could find different loopholes to get into it. This is why too, they always say, you want to change your passwords. It's very important. Don't keep the same password for-- - And we are bad with-- - Yeah, you got the same password since you first started with using the app, whatever. So you want to change your password. - But you forget this password. - I know, but you got to change every so often. - I've been seeing so many things day-to-day. Day-to-day, I'm like, oh my God. - Yeah, you got to make it strong. - And then you know how you know that your information's out there. When you start getting these scam messages 'cause you sold it in the dark web. And now they're able to send you messages and stuff like that. - Yeah, so-- - Today alone I got a message from somebody who's like, I got your number from my contacts. Do you know me? Who are you? - Yeah. - I just blocked and deleted. I don't even miss one. - So yeah, you definitely got to change your password often. Like I said, need to quit it. - And will it be like something difficult for them to-- - Yes, difficult to-- - Yeah, I'm difficult to-- - Or use like your two-step-- - Two-step, yeah. - There are all these different things and how two-step securities. So this is how you can protect yourself because this is a digital age and we all use AI, we all use social media. So you know, it's part of life now. - Yeah. - And so you got to take, you got to take extra steps, extra precautions to protect your data, to protect your, you know, even adjusted privacy settings. You know, regularly, you know, all, you know, they got privacy settings, you got to go into it. Sometimes we don't like to read. We don't like to go into it. - They don't, the thing is they don't make-- - But the younger generation, they all, they know about these privacy settings, they're all the younger generation, they know about these phones, but at the end, they're on top of things, the younger generations, 'cause they trying to figure how can I use this app better. - So my advantage is-- - To my advantage. So that's these younger generation names, they study in the app, 'cause they figure how can I make money with the app? - Yeah. - They see the app, they see the app, how can I make money with it? So I gotta figure these apps out, I gotta go through the process that I'm gonna look at. And this is how-- - 'Cause remember this younger generation as well, they also designed these apps as well, so they kind of know better than us, 'cause they are not afraid to go and design apps to make these apps, so they know their way around it. We just wanna be consumers. - Yes, we wanna be consumers. - I mean, they are users, they-- - Yes, and that's the thing, if it's a free product, if you're using it, you are a consumer, and they can do whatever, you're the product. - You're the product. - You're the product. - It's a free product, you're the product. - You're the product. - I like that, underlying it, bold, it's a free service. - Oh, the product, yeah, the product, because that's what you need, you're using, like, what's app? - They must get something out of here. - Yeah, what's app, you know? - This is how you're able to speak to people, you're in one country, and now you can speak to somebody that's in your relatives and not a country. - They must have Skype and all that. We don't need no Skype anymore. I can WhatsApp or video call on WhatsApp anytime without even having to pay extra. By just using my Wi-Fi, and then it's supposed to be-- - They made it so much easier. - They made it so much easier. But, you know, like I said, if you're not profited from it, you know, you are the product. You're the product, and so awareness of sharing, you know, that's the key. What are you sharing? What's you sharing awareness doing? What's you putting out there? You know, be mindful of what you share, be mindful. Do you want your grandmothers, when you want your children to see what the thing that you're all sharing? It is something that you don't mind, you know, sharing. You know, so the awareness of what you're putting out there into the world. - Yeah, 'cause, especially the younger generation, they just share some things you like, oh my God. - I know. - Do they know this is gonna be popular? - I know, and the sad part is that sometimes they're not thinking because 10 years later, 20 years, they're still on, they're still here. - And that's why, like, when people succeed, that's why Twitter is good with this. - Home, Twitter? - Okay. - They're always able to go back and dig. - Yeah. - And all these old pictures come, I'm like, who was even screaming these things? - Mm-hmm. - You know, it's just supposed to show that nothing is hidden. It will always have resurfaced. - 'Cause, again, sometimes when you post so many images, you don't delete them, so it's like a catalog now. It's your catalog, so that's why 20 years from now, and you got thousands of thousands of pictures where the net generation is seen. - And if you delete them, that's what we're trying to emphasize as well. As soon as you press send, it goes out there. The end. - Yeah, the end, yeah. - Out there now. - So, but even, like, sometimes you don't delete them, because you're doing it for the moment. You're in a moment, you're doing it, you feel like you're doing something, and you're putting things out there that are inappropriate or whatever. And so, we're having 20 years from now, when you have children, you're grandchildren, they go back and they look at your profile, they look at your images, 'cause they wanna see what grandma done, what grandma, how grandma lived her life, and now they see it be like, oh, grandma, you was wild like that. - So, the big question is, what is the purpose of your posting? Why are you posting? - Why? - Are you posting because you wanna be seen, and you wanna get those likes, and comments, and shares, and all that? Or are you posting because you're building a brand? Or just connecting with family and friends, 'cause some people don't have businesses, and don't have brands to build, but they just wanna connect with family and friends. When you do like the latter, connecting with family and friends, they're selective as well, but everybody, once you put it out there, it's out there, it cannot be retrieved back. - Yes, yes, be selected. And so, this is why, even with the, like, when you share my information, like your social security card, a lot of times, I don't think you wanna share it on WhatsApp. Not image, you know, like, you know, or social, you probably wanna call, or you wanna fax it to them. - No, you're saying, yeah. But you know-- - Because even calling, somebody's listening. - Yeah. - You know, like, it's only God that can save us right now, honestly. Because if you're not posting with intention, still, you're posting with intention, but still, you post, your stuff is out there. You know, whether you post the intention or not, that's what I'm trying to say. Your stuff is still out there. Only God Almighty can save us from the generation of AIs and all that. - Social media, you know. And they come up with different social media's every day. So, you know, what's your purpose? Well, why are you posting, you know? And so, if you, you know, that's the thing, you gotta, we really wanna highlight why, you know, reflect on your reasons. Because again, at the end of the day, at the end of the day, somebody profiting from it. Somebody profiting from your posters, you know. So, if, again, if you're using it, it's free. You are the product. And they're using it, everything, your conversation, they're selling it to, it's business. That's the thing that they do say, you know. It's business then, this is how you-- - How old are they if they use it? I don't think they use it. - Who? - Your sex. I don't know, he might not. No, no, he, they use it. - But they, they, intentional. - Yeah, they intentional. They do it, they do it with purpose. - They don't be sure. - No, they're not there, no, no, no. They, they, you don't really see them on there like that. - What's on your mind? People will be writing what's on their mind. - Yeah, no, no. It's like, like, even sometimes, like the celebrities, you see how they don't come on just to come on every day. They come on because they have a purpose. It's a purpose. - They push, they push something. - They push something. It's a reason why they come on to, so, and this is how you got to do it, you know? - You're building that brand. - They build a new brand. So, you know, they're sharing. They, they, they, they, they, they, they support us. Those that rock with them, they're family and friends. You know, they let them know what's going on, what they're doing or, you know, but they don't know where to purpose. - Absolutely. - They're highlighting different content that they want you to see. - Yeah. - And, I mean, for people who are pushing their brands and their products, these social media sites have made it very easy. - Yes. - They've made life so much easier. - Oh, man, I'm, I'm, I'm thankful. And, and that's what I'm-- - 'Cause you remember before you had to go door to door. - Door to door. - You had to use the phone phone. - Direct selling, you had to order 'cause it's up. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Now you post once and what if some, is the right person seasons, it's a wrap. - Yeah, commercials, you had to pay radio slots, all these different things. And it was expensive. - Oh, it's so sad that all of that has died. Radio has died. - Public relations, you got to use all these different-- - I just don't, you still need PR. - You still need PR, yeah. But I'm saying back then, that's all you had. - Yeah. - You know, you still used PR, you, I hope. You want to use PR, but, but that's all you had back then. Public relations, advertising, door to door. Direct selling, direct marketing, telephone book, all the different promotions that they use, TV slots, magazines, all the different things. Now I'm with social media, it made it so easy that you could connect with, and you're global. - Global. - Before, and it can be seen in an instant by everyone. - By everyone, you could be in the US and you got people in Asia seeing your product. You got people in the, all over the world, seeing what you are doing. So now you could try a bigger audience. - Right, at no cost. - At no cost. Like it's a pay to play environment. At no cost, you're able to attract so many different people. And this is why I like to be-- - Especially if you know how to do it. - Yes. - 'Cause people don't want to be sold to. - Yes. - But there's a way of selling to people about them knowing that you're selling. - Yes. - It's like how TikTok says, "Show me that you love me without showing that you love me." You know those kinds of ads that they do? - Yeah. - Show me that you're from South Africa, without showing me that you're from South Africa. For me, first of all, that was so confusing the statement. (laughs) After that, I kind of understood what they tried to do. Like, don't advertise, push it in my face. - Yes. - Do it in a way that will make me be attracted to what you're trying to promote. That's why now TikTok is promoting advertising using videos. Like make it like a day-to-day video. - Yes. - You're doing your own thing. You know how people are like, "Oh, I can use a stepper while I'm watching TV." And then here's a link for the TikTok shop at the bottom sold. - Yeah, yeah. 'Cause another thing too, selling with that, selling a product placement. Sometimes you put, you have things and maybe just you just playin' things on a table. Like we got the books, books, y'all. Sometimes product placement so that people are, you know, they get certain things or whatever. Or, you know, you're talkin' about different things that you're doing, like even when we talk about the book club that we do in the Saudi community. You know, we all, we talk about different interactions that we do with the business so that, you know, people-- - Don't forget to join the book club. We start already. - Yes, the autofocus, the autofocus, you're so, yeah. So, different things like that. But into, and so, but you gotta know what you're doing. This is why the six-month relationship boot camp is out there so that we need to teach you how to use these different platforms. You know, to build your brand, to build your business the right way. You know, to do it with integrity and honesty and to build that trust. 'Cause this is about brand equity at the end of the day. And you wanna build brand equity with your clients, with your customers so they can trust you so that when you come out with something, you know, they're like, you know, I rock with him. Or I rock with her. So, you know, this is very important. You know, you wanna have interactive content, you know, people that, where people can engage in your content. So whatever, creating polls, questionnaires, contests, whatever, all the different things that can increase engagement. So, yeah, so definitely you wanna post with a purpose. - With intention. - With intentions, yes. It's all about posting with intentions. - Yes, it's good. You wanna connect with your family and friends. But you also wanna be intentional with, even when you're connected with family and friends. - Because Facebook wall posts to make profit. - Yeah. - Netflix wall posts, I mean, wall buy to make, 'cause they didn't spend that 100 million for that. They know that more, 100 times 100 million is coming back. - Yeah, yeah. So definitely. - For them, it's an investment. Our information is an investment. - Yes. - Even closer. - Yeah, so you definitely wanna acknowledge, you know, that it is a free platform. It is free. So, acknowledge that whatever you posting, with the thing that you're using, it's free. And they could do whatever they wanna do. So, you acknowledge that you're aware of it. And this is what, by you being aware, by you reflecting on what it is. It is what it is. By you reflecting, you know what? You're aware of it. The things that I'm posting, they could use it for their profit, for their benefit. So, I gotta be careful, you gotta be careful, like, okay, you know what? They say thank twice before you post. You know, before you post, before you hit a sin, before you hit sin, they say thank twice. You know, don't do it so quickly. So, this is why. - Because once it's gone, it's gone. - Yes, it's gone. And like, even like with myself, I think twice, when I do things. So, because I'm aware of it, I can't easy, you know, did the webinars on Facebook, 'cause other cultures do it. They put, they do webinars on Facebook. But I'm like, you know what? I didn't wanna do it that way. Because I know if I do it that way, it's on their platform. They could do whatever they wanna do it. - Probably working if they're doing it. - It is working, because that's what you built it. But you gotta, you gotta, you have to, and it's not a wrong way, you know, because that's how they bring awareness to their brand. So, it's not a wrong way. It's not, I'm not gonna say it's wrong, but I didn't wanna do it. I just wanted to put it on a private setting and doing what I'm doing today with the podcast. I'd rather use YouTube, you know, like with the podcast. - The question is, is it working versus what they using? - It's nothing wrong, because, and you gotta remember, when you're building a brand, remember as we always say, it takes three to five years when you're building a brand. It's not gonna be overnight. So, even when you're doing the webinars, even when people, that's doing the webinars, and the beginning is, you might get one person that come on, then two people, then three people. And then before you know it, maybe a year later, maybe two years, but you being consistent, anything that you're doing, you have to be consistent. But you have to know that what you are doing and why you are doing it. When you curating content, if you're gonna use Facebook, you know, like, okay, I'm building a brand, I'm putting on content, and knowing that you might not, you know, the thing that you're doing today, you might not get no likes right now. But if you stay consistent doing what you're doing, eventually you're gonna get some likes. Eventually, you're gonna build that audience. And so, even like with the YouTube, but I like YouTube better because it's Google, and then another thing we always say, what's the number one search engine? Google, what's the number two search engine? - Yeah, I don't know. - YouTube, YouTube is the number two search engine. So, I prefer YouTube over the social media platforms. If I'm, you know, creating content, you know, video content, I prefer YouTube, you know, if I'm gonna do a running off, I'm gonna do a lunch alarm, if I'm gonna do whatever, if I'm gonna put it on the property, in the property, I'd rather use YouTube than use Facebook because I can, basically, you could be, it could be more searchable. Because another thing too, another thing about these, the platform, they can control the algorithm as well. You know, when you, they get, you know, when you put it on Facebook, Instagram, a lot of times-- - Do you know who to show? - They know who to show it. Or they know, 'cause you got to remember, it's a business. - It's not your show. - It's a business. They don't want you to grow as far as no more, like, because they know, guess what they're thinking. If you got a million subscribers, right, and you got a million far more, the fathers, and you put that content, they're gonna push it down while they could now advertise it, don't have to go to Instagram. They don't have to go to Facebook, they can go directly to you. So, they look at it as a business. - How about they are advertising on Facebook too? - Yes, but guess what, you can skip Facebook, Instagram, and go directly to the person I posted, because you don't wanna get all the followers. You don't wanna get all the engagements on your videos. So, this is why they control what's showing and how many-- Come on, you got somebody like Beyonce that have millions of followers, but when she posts something, maybe only a million people see it. Come on, you got more and more than a million subscribers. You got more than a million followers. You just tell me, everyone don't see it. So, they control who see it and they control the numbers and the algorithm. So, this, but I prefer YouTube, and then also I prefer to put it in the private. So, I'm willing to give up something, 'cause it's a pay to play. And so, I'm purposefully putting out content that I don't mind if they use that data. I know it's the, once I put out there, they can-- It's for your advantage as well. Yeah, they can take it, they can do whatever they wanna do. So, I'm saying, Facebook, here you go. YouTube, here you go, because I know as a business owner is a free platform. That's a smart and just to keep them what you want them to be. Being on what you want them in here. So, I understand as a business person, because I know it's a free platform in this opportunity. What about people who are not in business, 'cause we're talking to both business and non-business people, how are you saying they should work around the digital? Now, again, you're always gonna be aware of what you're posted, don't be proactive, too pervasive, which are posted, don't be, don't show things that you don't want your grandchildren to see. That should you be ashamed to your mama to see? Yeah, that should be ashamed. That's like, well, my mama liked this. Well, my mama, my daddy will be approved. Forget Jesus, forget your Jesus, your mama. Well, my mama approved for this. What would my mama say? You know what they always say? What would Jesus do? What would mama say? What would mama say? What would Jesus-- - He was making mama cringe? - Yes, what? Yeah, so they got the thing for the ordinary users. For the ordinary users, that's not building the brand. We're saying still be careful. Still have a purpose with your posted. Just don't post, just a post, you know. Yeah, send motivation, you know, whatever it is. Yeah, use and connect with family and friends. It's okay, that's fine. But don't be so out there, so pervasive. Just put in things that, you know, you want to approve of 10 years later. You got to think of these things to be out there 10, 20 years. And you never know that stuff that you put out there when you was younger. Young and wild, you know, we do some wild stuff. That's why I'm so happy Facebook wasn't around when we was in out of 20s. (laughs) The things that we done, oh my God. - Who goes when I was in my 20s? - No, not when I was out there. Yeah, I'm so glad in the late 90s. I'm so glad I was out there when I was in high school. So yeah, but this is the thing. So, you know, it's all about being purposeful with your posted, being smart, building a brand, because I think you are the product. And so we want to be smart and learning about this. And this is what we're going to be learning inside the bootcamp, you know, how to do it. For those that inspire entrepreneurs, you know, this is what we do. I understand it because I know the landscape. I understand the landscape. So this is why I'm able to be purposeful and able to do things with intention. - Intention. - Yeah, with intention because I understand the business. - Is there a word called intentionality? - I just made it up the word. If it's not, I made it up. (laughs) Hey, hey, hey, you know me sometimes. Yeah, I made it up though. But yeah, so, hey, you know what? We say be smart. This, because whatever you put out there, even like with the podcast or audio, you know, all these different platforms, you never know what they're doing with your content. You put out there on, it's on Spotify. It, you know, I heard something with, even with Spotify with, with, with your content, they gonna use the content for movie strips or whatever. They could do things like that. They could tell the story with your content. They could mask different, different content together to make a story line. You know, you could, they could do things like that because they have all the data and they sell these things to the third party, you know, because it's business. You never know, you know. And even like you as a business owner, you're gonna be using your data as well to make money, but you wanna learn how to do it the right way. When you're not, this is why we say being open and being honest, you letting your audience know what you're doing, okay, we could be, we're gonna use this for such a such. But you're letting them know, you're being honest, you're being open, you're being changed. - But then if they tell the users, if they tell us that they're selling our stuff, of course we're not gonna allow it, so. - But again, so here's the thing, but the thing is you wanna be open with your users. So like even like with, with, with. - Are we still talking about Facebook? - No, we, I'm just talking in general. Yeah, so like even like with someone, a coaching or whatever, or like I might say, you know, with some stuff, it's okay if I record it. Now, if they say no, then great, but again, they, I'm being open with them, like this is record. So now you know. - But the reality is the social media platforms, they will not be as transparent. - Yes, and great, and this is the thing, but as a business owner, we, this is what we're trying to tell you, when you know these things, you wanna be honest and be open, because if you break trust, that could be your business. - As a business owner, we saying that if you break trust, that could your business would go downhill. It's definitely, so even like with, with, you know, when we saying like as a coach, I let you know, it's being recorded. So now you know what you, what you're saying, it's out there in the open. So now you know, okay, I gotta be careful how I speak and how I say things, because this session is being recorded. So that I can be able to play back or use something for promotional, so that I can let, let people know what I'm doing. So these are the things, but you wanna be, you wanna be honest, you wanna be, if you're a business owner, if you're an entrepreneur, you gotta put in your confidentiality, certain things that you do, so, and let them know what you're doing ahead of time, so that your, your customers, your client, that you are serving, know what's going on, and know that the content that you recorded, the content you're doing, that it can be used for, for promotional purposes. Yeah. - Absolutely, and then we've come to the end of our episode. That's a wrap. - That's a wrap, that's up. - So we hope there was eye opening, and it made you really think twice. - Yes. - On what you post out there, because listen, a lot is on the line. - Yes. - The personal stuff is out there, and that's why we have so many scams going around, because we just post. - Just to post. - Just to post, and we just post haphazardly. You know, not thinking that we could be putting our families and ourselves, and even our personal information on the line. 'Cause these companies, they have no grace, no mercy. - No grace, no mercy, yes. - All they think about is what's in it for them. - Yes. - So-- - And only way it change, if you start using it. - That's the only way. - Yeah, sometimes that's, you know. - It's a bit difficult, some of us, 'cause that's how we're able to interact with our families and friends. - Yeah. - It's just, it's a tricky, yeah, tricky, tricky one. But that's the only way, but it says why, you know, they try to have multiple companies so that you could choose different platforms or what to use it. - But they're all bad, they're all-- - Not all of them, I'm not gonna say all of them. - Not majority, because like the big ones are owned by the same person, so you go figure. They won't do bad on one and not do bad on the other. You know, it's all the same thing. You know, don't tell me that X was the sky. - Mark, I mean, Elon Musk. - Is any better than Mark, you know, they all come from the same. - Stuck. But I'm not gonna say they're all, I'm not gonna say everyone bad. You do got some trusted brands out there, but you gotta, this is why, you gotta, but at the end of the day, you still gotta be careful what you put out there, because not everyone is honest and not everyone have your best interest in heart, and so you gotta be careful what you do and who you get involved with. It's like in a relationship, when you, you're gonna do your due diligence, you're gonna have your non-negotiable. - The episode was just really an eye-opener. - Yes. - That it was received like that. We just wanna say remember, when you're posting posts, what intention, you know, don't just post for the sake of posting. Make sure that you put in thoughts and intention. - And think twice. (laughs) Three twice before you said, yeah. - You put in thoughts, you know. So on that note, we just would like to ask you to like, subscribe, and share this video. And I just wanna apologize. I might be sounding really dumb. I am not feeling well. I'm doing this because I love you guys, and it's gonna be done. (laughs) Physically, I'm not well. So pray for me that I recover completely, and come back as the ladies said that you know. Yeah, so on that note, we wanna just say. - We thank you for tuning in, and check out the audio platform, chilling with the chaplains, follow us, review it, and we thank you.
