This video shows my first street interview in Bratislava. It was not easy for me, and I did not know exactly how I was going to do it. I was afraid and nervous because I knew how difficult it was to speak to Slovaks. Slovaks are usually very private people, and most do not like being approached in the streets, especially by exotic-looking people with a microphone, but I was determined. Sometimes, you must do uncomfortable things and step out of your comfort zone to succeed.
This video will show you how I talked myself into starting this video series, "Can you guess my age?"
P.S I have been living in Bratislava for 7 years, and I have only seen 12 black people π³π³π³

ROMANTIC FRIDAY?
Recently, my partner (Viera) and I decided not to work on Fridays.Β We call it "Romantic Fridays" Unfortunately, this Friday was not so romantic because Viera had cancelled our engagement. One of the twins had a crisis that she had to deal with. I felt like I had been cancelled. So, I decided to go off on an adventure by myself.
FRIDAY 6th December 2024
11:07 am
I woke up and decided to go to Vienna.Β How does someone wake up and suddenly decide to go to a different country? Living in Bratislava has some profound benefits. Being able to jump quickly between 4 other countries is one of the benefits. It seems like I am perfectly positioned here in central Europe.
The flat was empty, and no one was there; deciding to go to Vienna was easy.
At 1:30 pm
I was on a coach to Vienna. The ticket cost was 19β¬, and it took 90 mins to get there.
I am constantly attempting to do business or create new business. I went to Vienna to develop a new business in the form of a partnership.
I went to see Abraham. You might have seen one of my videos with him already. He was the first person I interviewed on the streets about my age. Abraham is the owner of the Pinsatore restaurant. I want to do a deal with him, a sponsorship deal. He told me he wanted to do more business, get bigger ovens, and get a more prominent restaurant. This is an interesting challenge that I can help with. Unfortunately, Abraham is most busy on Thursdays, Fridays and weekends. These are busy times for the restaurant.
3:55 pm
First meal of the day. It was a spicy pinsa. I had this with a pint shandy (beer mixed with lemonade)
I had to go home without a deal, but he said I could call him. I will do this before the end of the week.
I returned to the coach station only to discover that the next coach to Bratislava was 90 minutes away.
So I went back into Vienna to a coffee shop that was close by and met Milana π. Another coffee shop owner.
I had a cappuccino there and two croissants and recorded the question with her π
I had to rush off quickly to catch the coach, so I left my camera gimbal kit in the coffee shop. I was already on the coach heading home when I realised I did not have it. Luckily, I kept the tiny little receipt and was able to give them a call.
Here is the gimbal stabiliser I use amzn.to/49so5YN
SATURDAY 7th December 2024
I returned to Vienna. There was no way I was leaving the gimbal there. The cafe owner offered to post it to me, but that would be another opportunity for it to get lost.
I sat and had coffee with an elderly Austrian gentleman. He helped translate what I was looking for to the serving lady as the staff there did not speak English. It was good because the owners were not there, and no one seemed to have their private numbers.
13:45
Right now, I am in Austria, and I have my recording kit. Now let me transfer transform into Ben Button and hit the streets π

Thursday 5th December 2024
Today is Sunday, and I am writing Thursday's blog post. Blog writing in this way is not a good idea. Anyway, I am learning how to do this properly as time passes. The important thing is to get it done. Blogging is a focusing mechanism for me now. For the first time, I am studying the things I am doing and how I live. I am paying more attention to the time things take, too. I am starting to see the benefits of doing something like this.
Anyway, my English student had to cancel Thursday morning, so I went and did something else. I do not remember what that something else was, so it could not have been that important.
I did five English lessons until 6:30 pm and had my first meal around 5:10 pm. I know this because that is the time stamp of the picture of the pasta before I ate it. The meal was pasta with chopped ham and beef.
I then started doing something on the computer, editing most likely, and finished at around 3 pm. I know because the picture of the toast was taken at 02:28, December 6th 2024. I took two JP capsules (Fruits) and then went to bed.

Wednesday 4th Dec
I woke up at 8:00. I was supposed to have an 8:30 am online lesson, but the client did not arrive at the lesson, so I went back to sleep. I woke up at 11:30 am; I was just so tired. I ate nothing, just showered and ran for the bus.
12:30 pm
My next lesson was at 12:30, and it took me 45 minutes to travel there. This lesson was a lovely English lesson. My student in this lesson always brings me a glass of water; I always take two JP capsules with the water.
2:30 pm
I had to travel quickly to the next lesson at 2:30 pm. It took about 45 minutes to get there. There was no time to eat.
3:45 pm
Meditation for 15 minutes.
4:15 pm
Breakfast. Two croissants and a double expresso coffee with cream and honey. Fifteen minutes later, I drank a cup of hot water.
I tried to create posts and video ideas for my YouTube channel. My next lesson was at 5:40 pm and finished at 7:10 pm.
9:05 pm
I arrived home and decided to run around the lake at 9:30 pm. I call this a SEMI RESET RUN. All I had to eat today was two croissants, coffee and water, so my stomach, at this point, was empty. I ran 6km.

11:30 pm
At 11:30 pm, I finished showering and was ready to eat my first proper meal for the day. Unfortunately, nothing was prepared other than Monday's mystery orange sauce. So I had to cook pasta for myself. I chopped some ham into the orange sauce, chopped two small pickled gherkins, and put them on the side.
Thursday 5th December 00:22 am
I ate my dinner and drank a glass of pineapple juice mixed with water. I went to bed at about 01:30 am.

THIS IS HOW I LIVE ππ
Tuesday 3rd Dec
Woke up at 6:15, got out of bed at 6:30, showered, dressed, and left home. While travelling on the tram system, I saw this message on my phone (see below). This gave me a kick. Can I do better? I will try.
On the upside, I have started a children's academy teaching children how to become YouTubers.
4:12 pm
I had no food or water until 16:12 today. One cup of fruit tea from a client. God bless her. There was no time to visit any food shop. I also took two JP whole-food nutrition capsules (the vegetable ones).
6:15 pm
The day's first meal was at 6:15 pm, and it was Yesterday's spaghetti with beef that Viera cooked. I was shocked that she cooked meat during the week. Viera also made some orange sauce to go with it. I asked her what was in it, but she did not want to answer my question.
9:00 pm
Fruit Tea with honey and two slices of brown bread toast with butter.
Bedtime

How much money can an ordinary guy like me make from YouTube? I am journaling daily about how I live, look young, and how much money I make from YouTube. This is going to be an interesting journey.
Monday 2nd Dec
I got out of bed at 8:22 am; I prefer to rest longer than try to compete with the twins for the bathroom.
I arrivedΒ 2 minutes early for work. I am an English teacher, and this morning, I had four classes teaching non-English children ethics and English conversation in English.
I forgot my JP nutrition capsules. I take whole-food nutrition capsules (the best parts of berries, fruits, and vegetables), freeze-dried and put them into capsules.
Noon, I am feeling sleepy. I did the 5km run last night and got approximately 5.5 hours of sleep despite going to bed at 1 am.
I had breakfast at 13:32 today; it was spaghetti bolognese. Breakfast today is earlier than usual because I have no other opportunity to eat. I am teaching English at 14:30, then 15:45, then 17:00, then 18:15
My first glass of water was at 15:29; most days, I struggle to drink water.
15:40 I am so tired that I have to drink a double espresso. These always wake me up.
19:40 I am going to drink another glass of water now with 2 JP capsules
19:50 Meditation TimeππΎ
I arrived home at 20:45 and ate more spaghetti. I did some video editing and put Stephanie to bed at about 22:30.
I continued editing and posted a "shorts" video at around 3 am on Tuesday.
I went to bed at 4:30 am. I just felt like punishing myself for once again staying up too late.
The first cheque I got from YouTube was__________ Become a BB LifeStyler member, and I will tell you all.

It isn't easy to find success without discipline. If you watched the first video in my first-ever community post you would have heard my partner Viera say that I am unorganised. This is another reason why my intuition has told me to create memberships and a community on YouTube. Posting here will help me become more disciplined because regular posting is a form of discipline. It will also help me to become better organised and hence save more time.
What is something that you could do every day that will help you to grow and become more disciplined? Remember that discipline will always lead to success.

I have done something very special today. Creating this channel membership will become one of the best things I have ever done, I can feel it already. But why do I feel this way? I am doing this membership not primarily to grow members, serve people or make money, no, I am doing this primarily for the love of my partner Viera. If no one signs up I will still create the "greatest life book" in her honour.
The way Viera lights up when she sees us together on video is amazing. I feel the love pour out of her when she looks at the premiere of our video. I always show her first. She sits in front of my large-screen computer and turns into a little girl full of adoration. She laughs and sways her body all with total delight. I can do no wrong at this time. Whenever Viera looks back at videos we have created in the past she just melts and the love pours out of her. In this video, I added special music and video clips from the past and it thrills me to see her spirit sour with happiness. But not only do I see it I feel it too. So I have to do more like this and build our bond better and stronger.
Ladies and gentlemen this is my secret tip No.6 on how to stay young-looking. You must be in love, you must love something or someone more than you love yourself. Without this secret principle, you won't look or feel as young as you could be. I practice love daily. Love is the most powerful force on Earth. My next long video on this channel will be special because Viera will be in it.
I hope you have watched this introduction to memberships from the start to the finish. If you did you should consider joining us. I know in my heart of hearts that your life will improve and you will become inspired. But for now, I want to improve the life of the woman I love and at the same time improve our lives together. So this is the reason why I have created this membership; out of the love for my partner Viera.

I am on an adventure to find ways to slow down the ageing process. I think I am winning. I am half a century older than my young daughter so I must find the fountain of youth.
