0:00AHell yeah. So what’s your name, man?

0:03BMy name is Dakeesh, brother.

0:04ADakeesh. Okay. And where are you from?

0:06BI’m from Denver, Colorado. Born and raised. Five Points area originally.

0:12AOkay. And what’s it like being from Denver, Colorado?

0:15BI would say it’s been chill. There’s like a whole lot of different type of people out here. I would say different type of cultures type of thing. A lot of people bringing different things in. So I guess it’s just getting used to all of that, especially when it’s like, yeah, you’re still trying to find your own and grow more through it, if that makes sense.

0:42AAbsolutely.

0:43BAbsolutely.

0:43AAbsolutely. And how’s that been going?

0:44BIt’s actually been going pretty chill. I’ve been more on like a free mind type of path, a spiritual path, just trying to really connect with people, give out good energy to the community. Oh, yeah.

0:59AThat’s cool.

1:01BThat’s cool. But good energy just towards the community, trying to give back to the people, or at least connect with people, because that’s the purpose of really all of this life, is just to enjoy why we really are here.

1:17AAbsolutely, absolutely. So, uh, every week I’ve been going out and doing this thing for poidh. It’s called Pics or It Didn’t Happen, and We Them Media. I’m the founder of We Them Media. I’m Maceo, and this week’s question we’re asking people around the world: what is the most important global issue today?

1:33BWhat is the most I feel like it’s really like politics.

1:40AOkay, talk about it.

1:42BUm, when I talk about it, it’s really just trying to divide 2 people. Um, it’s really many people, different cultures, but it’s trying to divide them into 2 when the whole time it’s just people trying to run over the world, which it truly wasn’t meant to be run over. And I just feel like it’s a lot of negative energy up top and it just doesn’t make any sense. A lot of people fight in for The bullshit that they’re promoting, just really trying to advance without really thinking about the people below them. And that’s why everybody’s just having hardships these days, because they’re trying to find a way to survive. And it’s like, really, what are we surviving from? A piece of paper that doesn’t make sense?

2:26AOkay.

2:27BReally? Yeah.

2:28AHell yeah.

2:29BSomething like that. I’m fucking fried. My fault, brother.

2:32ANo, you killed it. You killed it. That was strong. I appreciate that. Strong answer. And I have one more question for you, and that is, If you could ask people around the world one question, what would you ask them?

2:42BOh, I’d ask them, what are your values truly? Who are you trying to grow to be? And what type of feeling are you trying to leave in the world? Almost type of thing. Like, because a lot of people choose to have like some type of negative mindset and it just carries on to the next person. It’s like we’re only here for one time. We don’t know what’s going to happen next.

3:09ASo it’s like, why can’t we just live life enjoy the company and presence that’s around us with other people. Does that make sense? Absolutely. Oh yeah, appreciate it, man. You want to shout out your social or anything like that? It’s up to you.

3:23BNo, I really don’t be on the socials, but just getting out, you feel me? That’s how we really meet cool people. I feel like it’s a lot better that way to where we could really connect. But to promote yours, I love it, man. I love what you’re doing, and it’s just connecting with the community, being able to like really reach out and get different people’s thoughts on different things. So it’s cool.

3:49AI appreciate that. I appreciate it. That’s what it is, man. I’m trying to do it around the world, like I said. So the goal is like by June 1st, I want to have 10 people. I want people from 10 countries at least, you know, doing it with me. One person per country is cool, but like, let’s get outside, let’s ask questions, let’s come together and talk about it.

4:03BThat’s amazing. And how many have you been to so far?

4:06AUh, so I haven’t -- I, I’ve been to different countries, but right now I have There’s like people that have been posting from other countries.

4:11BOh yeah.

4:12AAnd so right now we had, uh, I think 3 people in India have submitted, and then we’ve had I think 3 or 4 people in Nigeria, I think 2 people in Kenya, and then myself and one other person here in the States. There’s like 2 other people in the States, I think. So it’s pretty cool. It’s like we’re using CryptoRail, so it’s like, uh, we put up a $100 bounty every week and people -- we just post about it every week and people can -- whoever’s in Telegram essentially can go and just post and share about it, and then we pick our favorite.

4:37BI respect it, brother. I respect what you’re doing.

4:41AAppreciate it, man.
