[StewGotti]

It’s not the drinks.. it’s his energy that makes 20k a month! Salute bro!

[ThatWeirdoRightThere]

Bought an Oyay from this man last summer when I was in Brooklyn and I can say he’s just as hyper as he is in the video. Nothing fake about him, just good vibes, good drinks, and good convos

[peterthehusky]

Basically he’s selling jungle juice to people, but the vibe, attitude and dedication are what makes him successful

[Still_keem]

in the 1st 4mins this man has exposed his whole business. His earnings, Recipe, Wholesaler, Address, place of operation and legal standing ... I'm amazed

[MrKydaman]

The product looks good but his personality is driving the sales.

[natehaas]

90% of people buy products because of the customer service and 58% switch or change products because of customer service. Great example of a well ran business with excellent customer service. Love the hustle!

"I don't know if it's legal, but it feels legal to me." This sums up the New York state of mind!

[pvtparts]

I wasn't sure I was gonna watch more than 10 seconds of this but this guy has such ridiculously positive energy I had to watch and learn

Edit: pretty sure this is the first time I've gotten 9k likes on a yt comment..thanks y'all

[callmeosho]

“Yes this is illegal but...”
“I promote my product!”
“20k a month, (shows cash)”

Son stop tellin on yaself

[Ms.Aries]

How could you not find inspiration from this vid? The determination, vision, energy, motivation, the infectious laughter, and of course the accent! I ❤ NY!

[Mugen]

wholesome dude, focused on his grind with a smile on his face.

[shanesceyenz]

I ain’t mad at him. He found a way to feed his family and I don’t see him hurting nobody. He’s doing it with positivity and love in his heart.

[oh.mylanta.]

He needs a "food" truck, and a liquor license, and this would be a self-contained, rolling party truck lol

[vagabondx]

I love this guy. It's all love and kindness and human connection. I really hope he's able to make it happen. I smiled so hard through the whole video.

[wariusgaius]

“The goal is doing this legit”
Next scene
“I’ve been doing this for 15 years”

Now THAT’S a long term goal.

[weatherboy]

"There's a reason I was never a drug dealer or a pimp..because I couldn't promote that"...lmao moral compass strong

[cameroonbreezygoat]

He probably got a mail the next day from the IRS: “ So is it gonna be cash or card”

[ACPILOT]

this is the definition of people supporting the hustle, i love it!
What america was supposed to be.

[gavo]
