Thank you. Thank you. All right, welcome.
We still have a few DMs to send here.
I got to send out the space to everybody,
make sure that everybody knows it's happening.
We did get quite a few reminders set,
so I just want to make sure we give people time to jump in
to catch the beginning of the space.
I see AJ, Sunette's here, Automatic,
Azrael, KC's here, and we got Gasp down there too. Thanks for coming through. I'm really excited
about this space. I have been kind of planning and working on what this is going to look like for a while now.
And yeah, it's interesting because it's kind of developed over time
into what I'm hoping it'll become,
and I have a feeling it's just going to keep growing and developing with us.
So let's bring up AJ.
What's up, AJ? How you doing? Happy New Year. Happy New Year, everyone. Oh, this is great that you're doing this space one of the things I was thinking about at the end of the year is how many times we sit in these spaces and we talk in circles and we say things that we never really end up acting on, right?
And I'm sure you've seen that too.
So my goal with this space is to kind of put words into action because I've been in spaces since 2021 when they first kind of launched.
It's been quite some time and I've just noticed, you know, like I said, we talk in circles sometimes.
My goal for myself and for my peers, for all my friends that I've made along the way is to actually kind of like build something.
And yeah, so I'm really excited about this.
The Bloom Room is all about just like making things happen rather than just talking the talk.
Let's actually walk the walk.
So what are your thoughts on that, AJ?
Oh, I'm all for that right now. I just actually
just yelled and scared like 10 people, but I'm all for that right now. You almost have to do it.
I can't even watch any longer. I'm this close to going to all of these spaces and just ripping
these spaces apart. 95% of the spaces are brain rot.
They're talking about Candace Owens
like she's like the president,
like she's George Washington or something.
And they're like, well, Candace Owens said this.
These are just puppets.
You guys gotta be kidding.
These people stand no chance.
But let me tell you something.
I have something positive that comes out of this.
I'm not up against the deep state.
You're not up against the deep state.
Nobody's up against the deep state.
We're actually up against all these people. Let them mind control each other. And then whoever comes onto these apps, you create and create shit and bring shit
to life. By 2030, there'll be more millionaires created than any time in history. You have AI,
you have a lot of things to leverage. It's a lot of things going on. You've got to take advantage
of that. Astrologically, you're going into certain alignments. Numerology and Chinese astrology,
you go into the year of the horse. That's a time to get aggressive. So while everybody's
mind controlled, you need people to help people focus on creating. I need that help myself.
So to have Mella B, who better than Mella B to show us how to create? So everybody like, reshare this thing, get it out.
I know Eskinor, Eskinor finally throws the space together
right now at eight o'clock.
He had this plan a little while ago.
So Eskinor has a big space going on,
but his space is actually good.
He rips these guys apart.
He's doing a lot of work on here.
He's ripping these other influencers apart. He's like,
why are you pushing this shit? You know? And that's actually a way to bounce people
to the Melody's and help them create. Yeah. I honestly, like, I think it's awesome that we
have these spaces where we can discuss things and talk about things and, you know, just be open and
transparent with one another because social media historically has not been and, you know, just be open and transparent with one another because
social media historically has not been that, you know, it's everybody showing their highlights,
is everybody showing like the best of the best of their world. And then we just have people
comparing themselves to each other and kind of feeling lost. I've noticed just so many people
feel lost in the sauce and they don't know what
to do. And they don't, no matter what your goals are, whether you're a musician, whether you're,
you know, a visual artist, or you're not in the arts at all, maybe you're in med school,
or maybe you're in finance, whatever it is, whatever your passion is. You know, we can talk
the talk, like I said before, we can talk the talk, we can talk
about what our goals are and talk about the things we want to achieve. But I really want to just kind
of almost like dismantle chaotic workflows. Because I know what it feels like to be in a chaotic
workflow. And it doesn't feel good. It actually feels scary. It feels like it feels like to be in a chaotic workflow. And it doesn't feel good. It actually feels scary.
It feels like anxiety. It doesn't feel right. And that's because it leads to burnout cycles,
right? Like if we just, if we rely on how we feel and we rely on our emotions and motivation,
which comes and goes, motivation is not ever going to be consistent.
It's never going to be linear. If we rely on our emotions, then we will never actually achieve
our greatest potential. That's my belief because burnout cycles happen. I've been there. And
finally, I think 2025 was like my best year because I finally got a hold of myself
so from what I learned in 2025 I kind of developed just kind of like a system for myself
and I put that system into action and a lot of things worked out for me and you know I still
have a lot of growth to do I still have a lot of things to achieve but a lot of things worked out for me. And, you know, I still have a lot of growth to do.
I still have a lot of things to achieve.
But a lot of things worked out for me.
And I saw wins happen that I could have never planned for.
But because my system was finally implemented in a way that I could manage and that I could tolerate and that I could actually chew on without burning out and feeling just drained. Now it feels like I have this momentum going
and that's what I honestly just, I want to talk about it, but I also want to kind of let people
in on what that system looks like. And so with this space, the bloom room you I don't want people to think of
it as a space I kind of almost want to think of it as like an ongoing workshop because like I said
these spaces are great for conversation but sometimes we just talk and talk and talk and we
talk in circles and we never actually like do the things that we talk about so I want to think of it
I want everyone to think of it as kind of like a workshop
where we come together once a week and I've actually planned out every single week and
what the topic will be for every single week.
And there's little like tasks, you could call it homework, you can call it whatever you
want, but there's little tasks that I've kind of planned out for us as well. Because this is what's worked for me. So I don't know,
maybe it won't work for everybody. But I just think it's a cool way to kind of get people
actually kind of like on their feet, because what better time, right? It's the beginning of the year.
The spreadsheets are blank, You know, we have,
we've got the entire year to look forward to. And instead of, I kind of started thinking about it.
And I'm like, instead of letting the year decide what it's going to be for me, I want to decide
what my year is going to be. I want to have agency. I want to have not control, but I just want to facilitate growth for myself and for other people. Because
I don't know, I love you guys. And I think that there's so many talented people in this space. And
I just think it'd be really cool to kind of not only treat it as a workshop, but like almost like a way to hold each other accountable.
So I will open with this.
And also, I want to say like a lot of this, I kind of do have to do a lot of talking at the beginning and then I'm going to open it up for like conversation.
You guys can come up and like converse with me about this.
But I have so many thoughts.
I have notes.
Like I have things written out here.
I've spent a lot of time writing out, you know, the plan that I have for this space from all the way from today, because it's going to be a weekly space all the way from
today to the end of December.
So every Friday, we're going to here in the Bloom Room. And every
Friday, there's going to be a different topic that builds upon the previous topic. We're gonna
remove ourselves from survival mode, creativity, we're gonna remove ourselves from algorithm
validation. Fuck the algorithm. This is about actually like turning inward and working on
yourself as a human being, because guess what? The rest is going to follow. Everything will
follow what you work on inside. So I'll start with this. I know AJ is going to like this.
One of the first things that I started thinking about when I wanted
to host the space is, believe it or not, quantum physics. I'm a little bit of a nerd, and I really
jumped into quantum physics in 2025 and just kind of learned as much as I possibly could,
became really fascinated. My mind really opened to just maybe the possibilities of how things work.
And I started to make connections on how quantum physics kind of like relates to the way that we
operate as human beings. Because in my opinion, this is my belief, it's kind of like the root of
everything, right? Everything comes down to vibration. You've probably heard me say it before
in a space. I will say it a million times, everything comes down to vibration. You've probably heard me say it before in a space. I will say it a million times. Everything comes down to vibration. And in quantum physics, atoms don't decide what they are
until they are observed. So I don't know if anybody's heard of the double split experiment,
but there's this experiment where basically they're sending electrons through these slits.
Imagine this like big metal plate and they cut these slits in the middle of the plate,
and they send these electrons through the splits,
and behind that metal plate, there's basically like a wall,
and they're watching these electrons hit this wall,
and at the beginning, when they're testing this,
they see all these electrons hit the wall, and at the beginning, when they're when they're testing this, they see all these
electrons hit the wall. And it looks very random. It just looks like it's just random, right?
There's it's waves, it's just like, random placements. Okay. But once they place an observer,
and it's not doesn't need to be a human being they actually put like a camera
at the at the entry point of those slits and then once that observer was placed there
they started to act differently so those those electrons move through the slits differently
once an observer is placed there to observe them. So when you think about that,
that's really crazy. It's really crazy. They started to form patterns. But then you remove
the, when you remove the observer, they go back to being random. So what that tells me is that
I'm going to connect this back to like us as human beings as well, but they exist as every
possible version of themselves all at once until they are observed, until there is something there
to observe them. They exist as infinite possibilities. They can land anywhere. Okay.
Bear with me here. You don't need to understand like the crazy science behind it.
You just got to kind of grasp the gist of it.
That's why I'm trying to be super basic about it.
I'm going to bring up Sunnet.
And okay, so hopefully everybody's following.
But I think that's how most people live their lives
is basically full of potential, but a little bit undefined, if that makes sense.
So we're constantly throwing randomness at the wall, right?
We're not sitting back and observing ourselves.
we're not sitting back and observing ourselves.
So I really want this space to be a place
where we can be honest with ourselves
and observe ourselves.
And rather than just letting things happen randomly
and letting our fate decide itself,
we can intervene in that.
We can be the observer of our own electrons.
That's how I'm going to kind of bring it back to that. So we can sit there and observe ourselves
and actually define our potential so that way we can reach it. So in a sense, when you think about
it, unchosen identity, when you don't know how to answer the question, what am I? What kind of
person am I? Who am I going to be this year? Right? If you don't know how to answer that question,
then there are infinite paths that you can take this year. And that's kind of cool. But it's hard
to create momentum and to move in a direction that you want to move
if you have not chosen your path, if you've not like narrowed it down and become that observer.
So I believe that it's important to set goals. I don't necessarily believe in like the way that people traditionally
do New Year's resolutions, even though sometimes they work for some people. But I do think it's
important to set goals at the beginning of the year, set the tone for the year, and identify
what it is you want to achieve. So that's what I kind of want to do together. Today, we're going to set the tone for 2026. And that means that you'll have to start really thinking about it, right? Where are you
at right now? What have you been telling yourself about yourself? Are you a person that says now I'm
not good at that. So I don't do that. Or are you a person that says, you know, I'm not good at that so I don't do that or are you a person that says you know I'm the kind of person who never finishes what they start so I'm kind of nervous to start this like do you
do you enter into the new year with negative preconceptions of yourself or do you enter into
the new year with positive preconceptions of yourself and what you can achieve right so I
think it's important this is my belief I think it's important to be positive about what you can achieve, right? So I think it's important, this is my belief, I think it's important to be positive
about what you're capable of.
Maybe there's something that you're just like,
you know, that's a little bit of a weakness of mine,
but I think that if you tell yourself it's a weakness,
then it's gonna continue to be a weakness.
So it's actually better to start reframing.
That's like a big word that came up for me last year,
reframing weaknesses as's like a big word that came up for me last year, reframing weaknesses
as possibilities, you know? So, um, yeah, like who are you becoming in 2026? What, what is it that
you want to achieve? And what to almost like think of, think of your future self envision your future self and what are their habits what
are their behaviors that you don't currently do and identify what those are and then now it's time
to okay how am I going to adopt those behaviors but the thing is adopting those behaviors can't
happen instantaneously it's so much easier said than done.
I'm sure there's people in the audience right now that are like, yeah, yeah, okay.
I've tried that before.
I've tried that before.
But I think most people fail.
Hold on, I got to pull up my, I got notes here that I wanted to reference here.
I think most people fail at goals or New Year's resolutions or anything like that, not because they don't want it enough, but because they're trying to change behaviors without changing the system that's holding their life together.
So we're leaning, like I said at the beginning, we lean on motivation, we lean on memory, we lean on emotion, and we almost become a victim of our emotions.
I don't feel like doing that today.
I'm in a bad mood.
I don't know.
I just forgot.
I don't have the motivation to do that, so I'm not going to do that today.
Your brain is terrible at sustaining all three of those things at the
same time, motivation, memory, and emotion. We can't sustain those three all at the same time,
but what we can do is we can create systems slowly, like building blocks. We can create systems that allow us to become basically like, it's like organic. It feels natural to us because
instead of saying, okay, this year I'm going to change this, this, this, this, this starting today.
No, no, no, no, no. That never works. It never works. If you try and change it all at once,
it's just too much. Your brain can only handle so much at once. And then you're like, suddenly
you're like, oh my God, I forgot. Or, oh my God, I just didn't have the motivation for that today.
You can't, it's not sustainable.
So my goal at the beginning of 2025 was to slowly implement little tiny tasks or habits
and basically stack them.
So that way by the end of the year, it was like, oh my god,
I'm like a whole new person. I'm like doing things that I don't even have to think about anymore.
It just happens. So I'll give you a personal example. And I'm not going to even use music
as an example for this, because there's a whole lot more to me, guys. I'm not just a musician.
there's a whole lot more to me guys. I'm not just a musician. Um, so I, I would say up to 2025,
I so badly wanted to be a person that placed a lot of importance on like eating whole foods and
eating, just eating well and not eating like a bunch of processed bullshit. Right. But I found
it really hard, um, up until 2025, because I would, I would go into
these like, okay, I'm going to go all in. I'm going to just do this now. Like it starts today.
And then I'd fall off track because I'd lose motivation or I'd just like end up in this like
position where it was like, Oh, like I don't have time for that today. Like, I'm just gonna,
I'm just gonna stop and get whatever I want. I don't care.
Or I would get lazy.
Laziness is a part of it.
I get lazy and I'd just be like,
nope, screw it, I'm doing this instead.
But over 2025, that completely changed for me
because I reframed how I thought about that system.
I created a system for myself
and I reframed what I thought
of as my default setting. Um, so anytime I fell off track, I reframed that as instead of saying,
I fell off track, Oh my God, I have to start over, which is what most people I think do.
We say, Oh, I got to start over back at square one. No, it's actually, it's very natural to, I guess, fall out of calibration with who it is you are, who it is you say you are.
You can fall out of calibration.
But it's your job as the observer of yourself.
We're not here to judge ourselves negatively, we're just here to recalibrate and go back to default settings, which I kept telling myself over the know, instead of buying my snacks, I was like making my snacks homemade, like I sit in the kitchen and like bake a banana bread or bake a
zucchini loaf or whatever, instead of buying it, because I want to know what's going into my food.
Right? That's just like an important thing to me. And I think it's a really like relatable thing.
So that's why I wanted to use that as an example rather than like my music career at first um but yeah so I kind of want the the bloom room to kind of fix this issue
of people setting goals from themselves for themselves and then falling off track and like
becoming like so self-depreciative and like you, because I've been there and I know what that feels like, but I also know what it feels like to stop doing that now.
Like I successfully did that with various things in my life over 2025 and I know what it feels like to stop doing that and it's a beautiful feeling.
going to build small repeatable systems like I tried to do over 2025 for myself that basically
makes showing up for yourself feel inevitable rather than heroic you're not going to be like
oh my god I can't believe I did this at the end of the year you're going to be like yeah of course
I did this of course I did like that's that's what I of course that's what I do that's who I am
that's my identity that's what I that's what I do um and it's I am. That's my identity. That's what I, that's what I do. Um, and it's
going to feel that way because like I said, it's about building small, like stackable habits,
stackable traits about yourself. So that way over time, all of them just feel natural. Right. But
again, this process asks for your honesty. sometimes you're going to step back and you're
going to see your patterns really clearly and it's going to be really uncomfortable and you're
going to be like oh my god I can't believe I do this sometimes you're going to have to look inward
and say oh my god I can't believe I've been avoiding this for so long right like there's
so many times I hear people say in these spaces I'm'm really bad at this, or I can't do that, or I, all these negative statements, or I didn't achieve this because of that, some sort of external factor that they point to that says, I can't achieve this because of this external factor or whatever it is.
Um, yeah, I, I don't think, I don't think that we should allow ourselves to fall into that trap
because it's, it's, to me, it's about noticing where you've been protecting your comfort rather
than protecting your potential or protecting your growth, right? Because it's easy to say,
I don't do this. I don't do that. I'm not good at this. I'm not good at that. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
It's so much easier to say that than it is to actually address whatever it is that you
have been avoiding.
AJ, you got any thoughts on this so far?
Yeah, I just, it's very interesting that you say this.
You know, you just talked about, you know, really the idea of focus is really like everything.
you know, really the idea of focus is really like everything.
Like, you know, for me personally,
I think our focus is the most important resource
we have right now.
And when you're going onto these other apps,
you're listening to the negativity,
you're listening to all this,
you're getting pulled into the focus.
I do think that everybody has like
this little piece of the puzzle.
And like, for example, like in Mella's world,
there's people that do brand building and you could like learn brand building. You can learn AI.
Everything is so new right now. You could come together with other people. This is no time to
be distracted or to be negative right now. I'd be as positive as possible. And one of the best
things I know for myself, the people I know who are the most successful, holy shit, they kind of fell into it a little bit.
So it's actually even funnier.
It's like Dumb and Dumber.
They were like, oh, let me not go on this bus.
And they went on like they made a right instead of a left.
And the move they made was the most perfect move.
So it's like greatness or even like getting ahead or even like success.
It's not like a, it's almost like doubt.
Then all of a sudden you have a little bit of success
it's like oh my god i think i can make it then you're like no what was i thinking i can't fucking
make it and then all of a sudden it's like oh maybe if i do this and all of a sudden you like
let you seem to be led and i'm kind of stumbling and bumbling here but you kind of led by these
things called synchronicities and coincidences. I really believe when you do something creative,
even if you don't feel like it,
you don't even have to do something creative.
You can just walk outside and go to the beach or something
and you never know who you're going to see.
You never know what you're going to hear.
You never know what's going to inspire you.
But I really believe that's a way to hack this system.
And all of a sudden you're led by these synchronicities
and coincidences.
And all of a sudden you start building
a little bit of confidence. Like maybe I can do it. And then I
think it comes really, really fast. And the thing, when it comes fast, it could be a little scary.
And then you're like, oh shit, let me pull back a little bit, but I don't know. I'm kind of going
all over the place, but how do you feel actually? No, I love that. I love that. I love that because
so synchronicities and, um, you know, coincidences kind of relates to the word that for me has been really like powerful for me over the past year or so, which is alignment.
And I think that that's like, you know, once you determine who it is you are, not who you're going to become, it's who you are.
Like that version of yourself already exists.
It's already out there.
Because like I was saying, as I'm a freaking nerd, if you look at quantum physics, for example, quantum quantum physics suggests that everything in existence already exists.
Nothing is created.
It already exists.
Every possibility out there is is created. It already exists. Every possibility out there is, is there. It's
just a matter of basically your brain is like the radio tuning to a frequency that you need to align
with or that you're trying to align with. So when you talk about synchronicities, when you talk
about coincidences, I don't think that they are coincidences as much as they are alignments.
It's just like a, it's like a puzzle piece clicking into place because you're tuning to that
frequency.
So it's a matter of like identifying who,
what does your future self look like?
What does this goal version of yourself look like?
Envision that they already exist.
They're already out there living the life that you want for yourself. And now your actions and your behaviors, you're just slowly going to click
puzzle pieces into place. Right? Does that make sense? Does that kind of align with what you're
Oh, yeah, that that makes all the sense in the world. And you see it start coming together.
Like, I'll be honest with you. Like, I started writing a book and all of a sudden I met somebody
who also wanted to help out. And it was kind of weird. And then from that, you know, I'll be honest with you. Like, uh, I started writing a book and all of a sudden I met somebody who also wanted to help out and it was kind of weird. And then from that,
you know, I had friends of mine that started to go on to these weird, you know, successful runs.
And I'm like, what the fuck could this possibly be what's going on right now? Like in this world,
like you take physical action in this reality. People say the best thing to do is pray and
worship. I have not discovered that.
However, I did discover when you take physical action, I think that's the most potent and strongest form of praying, taking physical action. Yeah, absolutely. And that physical action,
when you think about it, it has to start as an idea. It starts in your mind, right? Like you're
not, you're never going to like do something without thinking about it first. Your brain
is the very first place that that is going to happen. So that requires self-awareness. And then once you have
that self-awareness, that's why we're starting with, you know, the bloom room episode one to me
is almost like, what is your mission statement? What mission are you on? Right? Because you have
an idea is the, the mind proceeds matter. Okay. So the matter can't idea is the mind precedes matter, okay?
So the matter can't exist without the mind,
whether it's to observe it or to create it, whatever it is.
It literally can't exist.
If you're not looking at the tree, the tree's not there, okay?
Because you have to be the one there to perceive it.
If we have no light in the world, everything is dark.
Like, you know what I mean? Like we can,
we can think about it in so many different ways. My brain always goes to like the science-y way because that's just who I am. Um, but okay. So let's get to some hands here. I do want to say
like, um, I would love if everybody shares the space, go comment in the purple pill,
go send it to your friends. I've, I just feel like this is a conversation that a lot of people can benefit from. And like I said, every single week is planned out. Like all every week of 2026 is
planned out. We're going to be here every single week to just keep building upon these ideas. And
I have plans for us. So today is just about like setting the tone for 2026, deciding what our
mission statements are for 2026. And yes yes i'm going to ask you to actually get
a piece of paper and a pen and sit down and actually write it out like go do it now go get
a piece of paper and write down what your mission statement is i can give you like a template we'll
we'll get there but let's get to the i wrote a template actually um let's get to the hands so we
have one pollock one Seattle in the house
Seattle's account is banned. So he had to come in on his own fucking. Oh, is that Seattle?
Yeah, that's okay. Cool. What's up? What's up? Welcome to the space. Dude, I got so many alts now. It's not even funny
Uh, but uh, no my codex and aj's
We don't support bro. Um, deals with this directly it my codex and AJ's support, bro,
deals with this directly.
It is a codex
to manifest
your wanted reality.
I don't know if wanted is the
best word.
What about desire?
Yeah.
Yeah, desired. Yeah, yeah imagined i don't know i don't know to give it a name but um yeah i need help getting it out there because i think it can and will help people
because at least in seattle the biggest thing i see as a problem is that everybody wants to sit down at home, on their couch,
order their Amazon, order their Uber Eats,
and not go outside
and be a
fucking human.
They're literally, they want to sit
in their little cubicle
fucking apartment
and they're staring at a TV,
it doesn't really matter, they're staring at a black mirror
and they're happy.
And it is that scary to me.
It's really scary.
But you got to start manifesting to get them up the couch again.
Well, Seattle, I have just the thing.
I think people are craving in-person meetings.
I really do think they're craving in-person meetings. I really do think they're
craving in-person meetings, spaces, but instead of on spaces in person. It's like five minute abs.
It's like the guy with seven minute abs. He's like, I'll do six minute abs. It's like that.
Instead of spaces on here, I'll do spaces in person. And I think I'm going to put together
some of the biggest live shows in the
fucking world.
I got one of my best students who just finished football.
He's one of the top rushes for the Baltimore Ravens.
He's going to come speak at it.
We got the great Billy Carson.
He's going to speak at it.
Who knows?
Maybe there might be a little Melody floating around,
but it doesn't matter.
Whoever comes,
it's going to be some of the greatest live performances ever.
I think I could master it.
The UFO conferences, I'm going to take over every one of them.
I'm going to the LA one.
And the LA one, I'm going to get everybody's number, all the people, the vendors and everything like that.
And just take over all that.
The aliens come here.
They're going to have to talk to us.
You know what I'm saying?
So my new year, I'm going hard this year.
So something that's like so admirable about
aj specifically um and thank you so much for for the input seattle there that's awesome i i think
first i'll say like uh you you questioned whether it's like our desired outcome our desire what is
it is it our destiny i think everybody has a different um perception of like what it is that, you know, if they're picturing their
future as like a destiny or like a, just a desired outcome, whatever it is, or it maybe it's just
coincidences stacked on top of coincidences. I think it's important. Like it almost doesn't
even matter how you think about that. It matters what, how you think about right now, like what it is you're doing
right now. Is it in alignment with whatever it is you picture for whatever you pictured for
yourself or what you currently picture for yourself? So yeah, like the outcome at the end
of the day, the outcome is going to be whatever the outcome is. You have agency, you have a say,
right? And you can be the one that starts to observe yourself and develop self-awareness so that
way you can align your systems.
Like what it is, when I say systems, I mean like, because we all operate, we're very habitual
creatures.
That's what we do.
That's a human trait.
We're habitual creatures.
We're habitual creatures.
We repeat things over and over and over again.
We repeat things over and over and over again.
And your outcome is just a result of repeated habits, okay?
So if you can become self-aware of those habits, and if you can say, hey, you know what?
I don't like this one in particular right now.
I want to change that.
It's your job not to just change that, but to replace it with something that aligns with
your desired outcome.
Like what trait does your future self have that you're not doing right now?
So over time you can start to, you can start to realize those things and then, and then change something about AJ that's really admirable is that he speaks very definitively about what he's going
to achieve. Notice how he says, I'm going to do this. I'm going to do that.
Not I want, or I think I can, or there's no hesitancy in how he speaks about what he's
going to achieve. He says, I'm going to do this. And I think some people might say,
oh, well, that's because he has the ability to. So he thinks he can be, he has that
confidence because he knows he has the ability to. How do you think he got there? Right? Like,
AJ, maybe you could tell us, have you always been a person with the ability and the resources to
achieve everything your heart desires? Or did you come from a place? Yeah, did you? Yeah, you came
from, I know this because we've talked about it, but like, you didn't come from a place yeah did you yeah you came from I know this because we've talked
about it but like you didn't come from a place where everything was at your fingertips right
oh not at all I fight for everything in my life every second you know I'll give everybody a little
quick story you know I have my friend me my friend my best friend girl I love bringing this kid up
in this story because we learned a lot from each other.
However, when we were younger,
we would like kind of go back and forth.
And I want to say hi to everybody.
Hi, Vessi, Sunet, Bliss in the house.
What's up, Bliss?
Automated, Steve, Jules.
We got my man Pres in the house.
Azrael, we want everybody else.
Thank you for being here.
But I'll just give it to you like this. Me and my friend, we were in this class
and the math was like fractions.
We had no fucking idea we were in the fourth grade.
We're like, what the fuck is going on?
Are we idiots?
We're like, yeah, we're definitely dumb.
It's over for us.
We're fucked.
And then we kind of like went through fifth grade.
Like, I don't know, I'm fucked.
We're the dumbest people in the world.
We kept this going to the eighth grade.
And even going into high school,
we're like, I don't know what the fuck is going on.
Right now, he's the number one president
and CEO in all of sports.
I always bring him up because that's me. That's my mind. I don't have to do it. going on. Right now, he's the number one president and CEO in all of sports. I always bring him up because that's me.
That's my mind.
I don't have to do it.
I know if he's doing it, then if I wanted to do that,
perhaps I could have done that.
However, we were fucking dumb.
We were stupid.
We were failures.
We were just kept going forward.
And you know what?
Really being grateful and being humble
and learning and wanting to learn.
And then people want to help you.
It's like an interesting, interesting thing.
And there's a way to navigate these systems like that.
And then things just open up.
And all of a sudden, you realize if you look back
that it paints a picture.
And the picture that it paints from your life now
to everything that happened in the past,
maybe perhaps is the most divine picture.
Doesn't matter how boring your life is, how menial it is, how much doubt you have. You look back in your life, it paints a
divine picture. And all those menial things, all those boring things, they weren't boring. They
were the most perfect experience we could have had. And that helps prepare us. And once people
awaken to that, like, oh shit, perhaps I have been pushed on my greatest path. The only thing
prevented me from that greatest path is worrying whether or not I was going to get on this greatest
path. So I think I fucking hacked the system. And I'll tell you what, that's how you hack the
system. It's a complete simulation. It goes with your commands. Now the number one command in this
simulation, this is very important. Most important thing I'm going to say, they talk about karma,
but even more than that,
I think karma is self-imposed.
I think what you believe you deserve
is what you manifest.
So when you do things to people,
you help people out as much as possible,
it does come back to you.
You make sure you don't fuck anybody.
Make sure, because you don't want to be fucked either.
You help as many people as you can.
You do what you can do.
And all of a sudden the system starts acting.
And again, selfishly I do that because then I believe I deserve good things to happen and I think that's
the way to do it yeah so you think it's almost like what you give you get or like the energy
that you put out into the world is the energy you're going to receive from the world, right? And I like that. It's cool because it comes with a sense,
like it goes back to the self-awareness thing. It comes with that. Like you're acting in a way
that is inherently self-aware because you're managing your actions accordingly, right?
your actions accordingly, right? So I like that. That's, that's awesome. And it's, it's just
reassuring to hear, not that you at one point struggled, obviously don't want anyone to struggle,
but the fact that you went from being a person that said, like, I don't, I can't do this. I'm
too stupid. I'm incapable, blah, blah, blah, blah, whatever it is, all that negative self-talk
to a person that now speaks
so confidently about what it is you're going to achieve means that everybody in this room can do
that do you think so you think everybody could do that oh yeah oh my god if somebody finds like a
little bit some kind of passion and then they just follow the synchronicities you might have a passion
for painting artwork and then you're painting artwork and all of a sudden as you're painting
in that vibrational state in that brainwave state you might have an idea for a book
and all of a sudden that painting led to a book that book leads to something else this simulation
has another code in it that whatever excitement you have towards something it leads to other forms
of excitement it's very very interesting yeah again it's like tuning, right? You're tuning to that frequency and then everything
is going to start to fall into place because all of a sudden you're, the things that don't align
with that frequency start to fall off, right? They're just going to fall out of your life.
And the things that do align will settle in, new opportunities will come up. If you were to ask me, if you were to have this
conversation with me in 2022, 2023, I think 2024 is when I started to kind of open my mind a little
bit to this stuff. I would have laughed. I would have laughed in people's faces if they talked to
me like this, because I remember being a person with more doubt than optimism. I remember
being a person that thought everything is just coincidental and everything is just happenstance
and I have no control over the outcome so I'm just going to roll with the punches and just raw dog
life. And now I see things so very differently, so very differently. So if there's people in the
audience, this is the thing I wanted to say, from the get go, there's probably people in the audience
right now that are kind of similar to how I was in 2022 2023, probably thinking like, man, this is a
load of shit. That is so cool. Like like I love that you're there because that means that
we get to be a part of we get to be a part of it like like I remember the people that helped me get
here and understand the world in a different way do I think I know everything do I think I know
how the foreign universe works absolutely not um but I think I i don't know i just feel i feel so more aligned
with who i am as a person and i spent a such a long time in my life not feeling that way
so i'm excited for i'm excited for every single person here um okay let's go to sanette because
i've seen her hand up for a while it's probably about to fall off and then I want to say hi to Vessi and Alex and keep the conversation going but I do have more like I said
guys every episode is planned out we're gonna keep it conversational as much as possible but
I have notes to guide us because I've got a whole lot to say here I got a whole year of things to
say so um Sinect thanks for being here you got any thoughts for us? Sinect I love your account by the
way you're a builder of worlds.
You're such a pleasure on here.
You offset a lot of the negativity on here, and you're a wonderful being.
Thank you for being here.
Thank you, AJ.
Thank you, Melody.
I just want to say that my heart has always been about being creative and being an innovative person, you know, because we can't rely on others to become that great,
you know, person that that gift that you have, and each and every one of you have a gift.
And that gift, you know, you need to put it to work. And it'll work. I love to run. So that's
one of my biggest things. I go running five miles. I try to do it every day, but I'm a busy mom of seven.
And I just wanted to say that being a busy mom, multitasking and doing all the things.
You're busy now when you were busy before.
Yes. And then I make sourdough bread and I have a homesteading community
because I'm about us, you know, being creative human beings and not relying on others.
You know, it's important that we start, you know, our own things, like start growing a garden,
start running. I mean, we all have these special abilities and that's why I, you know, on my
platform, it's all about being positive. Even when things seem to be falling apart, just stay positive because
it always works out in the end, you know, and I will make that 10 mile marathon eventually.
And when I do run, I start to think about poetry. I start, you know, rhyming and I start writing
poems and it's a beautiful thing. And then I enjoy the time with my children because it's just a way of stress
relief for me and then I can just you know vibe with them and enjoy every minute and every second
of the day with my kids and they are great like they they're creating things they're building
things with their magnets and I got little art to text in my family my dad was a musician. He played every string instrument. That's why I
love music. It just, it makes the poet come out in me. And I enjoy Melody's music. And I've bought
some of her songs. I've bought her merch. After I won the $75 in a draw, and I was showing my
support for her, I, you know, I think that it's important that we
love one another and we try to help the small businesses and help other people so that they
can become great and they can share their gifts and help others as well. Thank you.
Oh, I love that. I love that so much. Sunet, you are like one of my favorite people on this platform.
I don't like to pick favorites.
My students always ask me, am I your favorite student?
And I'm like, I'm not allowed to tell you that.
Do you have a favorite? Of course you do.
Of course I do.
Oh my gosh.
But yeah, no, it's so nice to know you and to be connected with you because you embody
a lot of the things that I envision for myself.
So it's cool to be acquainted with somebody that, you know, has achieved things that I
hope to achieve someday.
So thanks for being here.
Thank you, Melody. I just want to say my life has not always been easy either. I lost my dad
Thank you, Melody.
I just want to say my life has not always been easy either.
at 17 on St. Patty's Day, and that was traumatizing for me. And my mom has been in a
state facility ever since I was 13. I've always been working my whole life. And I'm thankful for
that because my dad taught me to be a hard worker. So I think that's what got me through everything.
And I went in the Navy.
And then being in the Navy, that helped me get stronger too.
So my life has not been easy.
I didn't have a silver spoon handed to me.
So you guys are great.
Thank you for this space.
You've really helped me to achieve a lot of my goals.
Just for you helping me with that $75 I got picked.
It was definitely like a God thing for me to be picked out of that drawing,
you know, cause I have seven little ones. Well,
I have five little ones in a 22 and a 20 year old. So,
and he's about to get married. So I got a lot going on in my life.
Thank you guys.
Oh my gosh,
Sunette.
I love you so much,
girl.
So if I were to ask you,
I think,
I hope you were here at this point.
I think you were here at this point.
I warned everybody that we're going to be picking our mission statements for
2026.
We're going to decide what it is that we want to achieve this year.
If I were to ask you what your mission statement is for 2026,
do you have an answer for
that? I most certainly do. Okay, so I started a newsletter, and I wanted to see if it was okay
with you, Melody, if I advertised for you and put you in my newsletter, and also just to help others,
like anybody who has a special gift or something that they want to get out there, I'd love to share it. I'm doing sourdough bread
and poetry, but I would love to help others in that. And one of my biggest things is to give
sourdough bread to my neighbors and help my community here locally. And so I would love to
help you and AJ and anybody else that wants the help, you know, getting the name out, your name
out there and getting people listening to your music and interested. So that's, that's what I'm here for. I'm here to help the small
businesses and musicians and people that need that reach. That's what I want to do.
Amazing. That's so cool. I'm proud of you for starting that. So where are you at with it right
now? Like, did you just start it? Is it new?
Like, what sort of goals have you achieved with it so far?
Do you have any, like, specific goals for this year?
And honestly, girl, if you want to advertise for me on your newsletter, all the power to you.
I would absolutely love that.
Sweet.
Well, then I'm going to do that. I started with Ani.
She helped me get it started.
It's Beehive. And everybody on here, if you want, you could start your own newsletter on Beehive. You could start for two weeks for free. And then, you know, you sign up for it. And you can do the monthly or you could do the yearly, the annually.
pretty amazing because it gives you that opportunity to do advertisement for others.
And it's it's and subscribe to other people's newsletters. So if you haven't started a
newsletter, I think you should. It's amazing. That way they have your emails. And you know,
if something was ever to go down, we could still stay in contact. So that's what I've started so
far. And just hearing you Melody say that you would be excited for me to do that then i'm going
to do it and thank you love it cool i'm excited um please send like anything that you can post in the
in the top go for it um or if you want to post it in the comments you can do that too
um if you need help with that i can do it you can just DM me. And yeah, so what I would say is
we're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna help Sunet, guys. Everybody here, this, think of this again,
think of this as like a workshop, okay? We're all on this path together. We're all figuring out our
creative lives together. So we're gonna help Sunet.ette. We're going to support Zanette. Notice how I'm not saying I would like for everybody to
do this. Maybe we could. I'm not being hesitant. I'm saying we are going to support Zanette.
So when you see that pop up in the top or in the comments, you're going to click it
and you're going to support it and you're going to follow her newsletter. Cool? Cool.
We're all on the same page.
Okay, cool.
Let's go to Vessi.
Vessi, what's up?

I did Breakfast with Santa.
I did a children's show where I impressioned Miss Rachel
who has like 68 million views in one
year on her children's music channel. And then I was like, you know what? I've been doing kids
music for so long. Let me just launch that shit. So I did. I launched a little YouTube page and
I'm going to do that every day this year and make music for kids. Besides obviously writing the
songs that I write and whatever else I do. Mom is the first job and

Yes. It's the same mission statement as every year. Don't ever give up. Keep going. When you have a moment of doubt, take a second and some space and keep building silently and support those that you believe in.

most talented people that I've ever come across so I I just, there's never a doubt in my mind
that you're going to achieve amazing things.
And I'm just,
I'm so happy to have you
a part of the Bloom Room community.
I'd love to be on the Bloomin' stage
with Mella B this year.
That's one I'd like to make happen.
Let's go.
Bloom, bloom, bloom, bloom.
I'm going to watch you in my room.
Oh my God.
That needs to be the theme song.
Let's make a theme song. Let's go back to my room. Oh my God. That needs to be the theme song.
Let's make a theme song.
Let's go back to my room.
Yeah.
Oh my gosh, guys.
I can hear it now. I love you guys so much.
It's going to be like a little fancy number.
I'm excited.
Okay.
Well, because Danger Devin never comes into the space without being heard.
Let's hear from Danger Devin.
I'm,
I just want to know like where you're at,
what's your goals,
what are you doing?
What's your mission statement?
What is the tone that you're setting for 2026?
All right.
well for 2026,
my goal by this time next year is I actually,
I think I want to do an album.
So like, I don't, I don't know what I'm going to put on it.
I don't know how much I'm going to put on it. Cause,
cause I've got like a bunch of different genres that I sing in and,
and a bunch of different songs in different genres that I sing,
but I don't know. I think I just want to throw something together.
It's like, Hey, here's me kind of thing. And so and so yeah i think that's what i want to do for 2026 and if i could give anybody
any advice like like like vesey was just doing just be as unique and be as you as you can be
because there's no one else that can be you and that's like that's the footprint that's the fingerprint
that you're going to leave on this world is what you were so just be you yeah love it oh my gosh
okay so an album from danger dev what that's so exciting um okay so like i would say my goal is to get Danger Dev from saying, I think I'm going to, and I kind of want to, I don't really know, blah, blah, blah.
You know, all that like hesitancy that's in there.
No, no hesitancy.
Yeah.
That's what I want to do.
That's what I really want to do.
Yeah.
So whether it's like 12 songs or 28 songs, I don't know.
Yeah.
Whatever it becomes is what it becomes but you're
you're aligning with it right like you're locking in exactly doesn't he need to say i'm making an
album yeah making an album that's what's happening that's literally what i did like at the beginning
of 2025 i said i'm making an album this year I remember sitting at the dinner table with
my fiance's family and I brought up new year's resolutions and everybody was like I don't know
I don't really and then my my soon-to-be sister-in-law was like so what's your new
year's resolution I said I'm making an album this year I'm going to put out my album this year
and then well not put out I'm going to record my album album this year and then, well, not put out. I'm going to record my album this year.
That was my goal.
And guess what I did?
I did it.
So, yeah, it's about like just you got to align with that goal.
And every action that you make from today, January what, 2nd?
From today, January 2nd to the end of the year is going to align with that goal and if something
doesn't align if you find yourself you know sometimes I ended up saying I don't know if I
can do this this is so much time this is so much money this is so much commitment this is like I
have to actually solidify what this song is going to sound like in its final form. Oh my God, there's a lot of pressure. Don't get me wrong. I had moments like that for sure, but I never let myself sit in
those moments for too long. I just always, at the beginning of the space, I was talking about
returning to default settings and my default setting is I'm going to do this. This is what's
happening. Nothing can get in my way. This is what this is. That's default right there.
Facts. Absolutely. So yeah, this is awesome. Guys, I hope you know, I'm taking notes on all
of your mission statements. I have a little notepad in front of me. I'm taking notes and
I will be checking in on you. So just, just so you know. Motherfucker. Yeah, like I'm letting you know, like this is, this Bloom Room thing is no joke.
We're not going to be another one of these spaces.
Let's fucking grow.
Okay?
This is not going to be another talk the talk space.
This is going to be a walk the walk space.
Yes.
Let's go.
Let's go.
The accountability.
That's what's missing in modern society is this accountability.
I fucking love it.
Let's go, Mela. Yes. Accountability.'s what's missing in modern society is this accountability. I fucking love it. Let's go Mela. Yes
Accountability
It's everything it really is so if we need
Like sometimes people have trouble holding themselves accountable
so that's part of why I wanted to do this because sometimes I had a hard time like I still have a hard time holding myself
Accountant accountable so I'm gonna tell you guys eventually what my mission maybe at the end of the space I'm going to tell you guys what my
mission statement is and I'm going to expect that you guys are like hey Mella did you do like what
are you doing like come on you better be on track um I expect no doubt when it comes to you and
doing what you say you're going to do this 2025 you slayed like literally you you slayed you posted
you shared you invited you engaged and you freaking tracked like an amazing amazing amount
of music my life no doubt that you're gonna do what you say you're gonna do thanks bessie thank
you i appreciate that you're for you you are you are what do, not what you say you're going to do. Right. Exactly. Exactly.
Like, um, so I'll kind of return to my notes for a second here. Cause I kind of, this aligns with
what we're talking about. Um, nerdy brain is going to take over for a second. Um, so the brain like the human brain always chooses the path of least resistance
right we love the easy path we love to just settle in we like to be comfortable um
but usually growth happens in uncomfortable situations and like you you kind of have to
remove yourself instead of protecting your growth we have to remove yourself instead of protecting your growth. We
want to protect, or instead of protecting your comfort, we want to protect our growth, right?
So treating our growth, like it is something that it's treating it like a garden. That's
literally why I called this the bloom room. Your growth is a garden and you, you've planted all
these little seeds like, Oh, I'm going to record this album.
I'm going to do this.
I'm going to start eating healthy.
I'm going to start running.
I'm going to do, oh, I want to run this marathon, blah, blah, blah.
You plant all these little seeds every time you have an idea that pops into your head.
As soon as that idea pops into your head, that is a seed that has been planted in the garden.
What are you doing to water that seed?
What are you doing?
Are you feeding your garden is the
question because you can have all these goals and you can have all these like, Oh, I wish I could do
this or I wish I could do that. But unless you're actually like creating systems in your life that
align with that goal, um, then the outcomes are just going to be results of ongoing behaviors.
Like we were saying before. So when your environment supports your future self,
you are the, this is the beauty of it.
You get to decide your environment.
For the longest time,
I thought that it was the other way around.
I lived my life as if my environment decided my identity.
It decided my capabilities.
So I was just like a victim of,
not a victim, but I was just like letting myself be the pawn, you know, on the chessboard.
Sorry to talk over you. Yes, yes, that's exactly it. Being a victim of circumstance.
But what's cool is you actually have a lot more agency than you think you do
even though it's sometimes little pieces that can be moved on that chessboard like maybe maybe it's
super super simple things that don't seem like much but they stack and they just they compound
into something much bigger I don't know if AJ's here, but this was one of the things that AJ talked about in 2025.
He always kind of sprinkled in this little knowledge
of compound interest.
And I took that and I was like,
huh, I need to know what he's talking about.
So I went and I did my research.
I started learning about compound interest.
Is Mella talking about it?
Oh, can you, Vessi can't hear, can you guys hear me?
Thumbs up if you can hear me.
Or is it just Vessi?
I hear you loud and clear.
I can't hear you guys.
Okay.
We, can someone tell Vessi to drop down and, okay.
So, yeah, so AJ started talking about compound interest.
And I was like huh
that's interesting because I think that this is like the human form of compound interest
when you think about it all those small actions stacking and quietly becoming something bigger
it doesn't look like much like all those little things they don't look like much. Like all those little things, they don't look like much.
They're kind of boring.
They're kind of like, nah, you know,
this isn't really exciting.
These don't feel big, but when you,
at the end of the year, at the end of 2026 in December,
when you're looking back on your year,
you're gonna be like, holy shit,
I actually did change a whole lot.
And I'm like a completely different version of myself now.
And that's really cool.
Does that
align, AJ? Am I thinking about this right? Oh yeah. No, it's really everything. Small,
small, small victories for me anyway. When I speak, I don't like to speak for everybody.
I'll speak for myself, like little small victories. They make you feel good. I talk
about it. I do talk about this in my book. I call it the power of momentum. It's really the law of action, but we build momentum.
And once you start building momentum, and for me anyway,
then you could really do some great things.
You know, and just when you're talking about creating in general,
I don't know, what about if it's like this?
I'm just going to throw this idea out there.
Let's say you start creating something.
I don't know, painting a picture, writing a song, writing a music. What happens if we could tap into the codes of like our ancient
bloodlines? Like I believe the human body could actually tap into certain amounts of information.
And then perhaps when we go to sleep, who knows, something else could download information to us.
So yeah, but it's the little things. It's like those little victories that build and build and build and build and then all of a sudden you believe that you can take on
bigger and better things yep 100 i love it we're gonna end up having to invite billy carson to one
of these spaces because i think he's gonna have a whole lot to say about this um yeah i i think it's
it's like i'm gonna repeat this word a thousand times it's it's it's, it's like, I'm going to repeat this word a thousand times. It's, it's, it's like
alignment, right? Like, and sometimes those alignments are just so tiny and they don't feel
big and they're just kind of boring. But the end of the, at the end of the day, at the end of the
week, at the end of the year, you're like, wow, I actually did something really cool. And it's
because of all these little things that I changed. Um me, like that example I used at the beginning,
and it came down to like reframing.
Like it's actually not even like an action that I did.
It was more about like a mindfulness thing that I did.
It was like reframing things in my brain
rather than letting myself be negative,
letting myself be judgmental or shaming myself
when I didn't follow through on something or if like I let something slip for a week or I let
something slip for two weeks or whatever it is um I just like I stopped myself in my tracks and as
soon as I started thinking negative, I would just intervene.
It's almost like I had two different voices in my head. And I always let the positive voice
be the stronger voice. And then that would take me, because what happens is, I have a note on
this actually. So yeah, I wrote, so reflection is not meant to reveal weaknesses. So throughout the
course of this year with the bloom room and the things I have planned, we're going to do a lot of
reflecting. And like I said, at the beginning, it's going to require a lot of honesty with yourself.
And you know, you can be honest with us too. I think that's cool. Don't think of it as like
revealing your weaknesses or, Oh, I'm so bad at this, or,
Oh, I can't believe I didn't do that.
Just think of it as like recalibrating.
Think of it as like a machine.
Um, I used to work in my dad's, uh, my dad's sheet metal shop and he'd put me on a machine
and sometimes I'd screw up a few parts and he'd be like, okay, we just got to recalibrate.
Let me show you this again.
This is what you got to do, right?
Like same thing, but we're going to do that with, um, you know, whatever it is our, our personal
goals are working on. So again, we review not to judge, but to adjust and align to recalibrate,
reset, go back to default settings. And those default settings are in alignment with whatever it is your future self is calling for.
And spending too much time in that judgment zone.
Because sometimes it's going to happen.
Like you're going to be like, oh my god, I can't believe it.
You know, you're going to cry.
You're going to lay in your bed and be like, ah, the worst.
That judgment zone is fine as long as it's not lingering too long.
I literally wrote a song about this.
The Optimist, second verse.
I say sometimes it's, what do I say?
I think there's power in letting our demons in.
Treat them as good friends in need.
Let them sit a bit.
When I say let them sit a bit, that's like a key.
A key word there is let them sit a bit, but don't let them sit too long.
Because if you let them sit too long, that's what causes stagnation.
So you're just going to stay in that zone for too long.
I think that's what depression is.
I think that's what, I literally think that's what depression is, is staying in that zone for too long.
And, you know, I think it's kind of layered, but that's
part of it for sure. So let's go to, let's go to Alex, because Alex came up right after DangerDev.
So I think we're going in order. Yeah, what are your thoughts? Thanks for coming to the space.
What thoughts do you have? And I'm sure you've gathered by now.
I'm going to ask you, what is your mission statement for 2026?
Yeah.
Well, good evening for you guys, I guess.
Yeah.
This year, I don't know.
I keep pushing on when I get called in for different projects and stuff.
Yeah, I'm still...
I'm also starting to build out the newsletter.
I'm transferring the old blog across to Beehive as well.
What else am I doing?
I guess I really should get the camera out again.
It's been a minute.
But I work as a creative so it's um
yeah just getting pulled on to the different jobs as creative lead on in web3 now so uh
yeah i should really push push my art more to be honest um uh yeah yeah probably probably that i need to push that actually i've got all
these collections of nfts and stuff and i should really mint more of my photography on on chain uh
yeah i also have to develop more of my um my 3d work and stuff like this and my rendering kind of stuff
and my videography kind of stuff.
Yeah, probably I really have to get back to doing that.
I mean, I do use it, you know, for different teams,
but it's not really my work.
It's just for web-free stuff.
So it's, yeah, a lot of memes and that kind of thing.
And then you look back at what you could do what you're working at the moment and it's just like god am i really doing
this stuff but uh yeah uh that's probably what i need to get back to just getting back to the actual
uh art of it um my art and not just not somebody else's or not what the projects wanted me to do. But yeah, I guess for people down there, you know, just don't limit yourself to one medium and keep pushing forward.
You know, you're a creative.
You can pretty much do anything, you know.
What was the next question?
Oh, no, I mean, you kind of answered all of it.
You have a whole lot going on.
Do you feel like...
So something I mentioned at the beginning of the space,
and I also warned everybody that it's going to require a whole lot of honesty.
So just letting you know, I'm going to ask you maybe some tough questions sometimes.
But do you find that you have like do you have a
system for your workflow or do you feel like you're always in like a state of like kind of
like chaotic workflow is it just all like super random and just sporadic um i have a system but
it doesn't really work like that i mean i'm I'm on the spectrum, obviously, but I do do things.
I like to hop into different projects.
I'll start with one thing and I'm doing that and it gets to a certain stage
and then I hop onto the next thing and I do that for a second.
And then usually I've got about three or four different jobs,
depending how many laptops and screens I can get a hand on. do that for a second and then usually I've got about three or four different jobs depending
how many laptops and screens I can get a hand on to do the projects. It kind of frees your
mind up to think about things. Obviously if I'm doing creating art and trying to hold
to a concept, you know the original concept to begin with but you know it's art so usually
you're there and it's this is complete rubbish and then you'll come back leave it for a minute
and come back actually this isn't so bad and then you try and rework stuff again and then you're
like oh wait this is amazing I'm fucking awesome and then you come back to it and you go oh my god this is the concept's absolutely crap what have I done um but
yeah yeah uh uh yeah yeah I'm I'm one of these I guess you could call it ADHD or something so
you're just like hawking between mad plans to mad plans cool I like it so I would say like my goal
is to to because you said one of the things you said is you
want to push yourself to work on your own art more.
Um, and you, you find yourself working on like outside projects a lot.
It sounds like you have this vision for yourself where you're, you're, you're doing your own
you're doing your own thing.
thing.
Like, is that true?
Like, is that true?
Like, do you envision, like, you end up becoming, like,
more engaged in your own creative work?
Or do you like how things are right now?
Like, where are you at with that?
I enjoy working with teams and creating a creative vision for them.
Yeah, I mean, I enjoy art directing because really I don't,
I just don't have the time to work on art.
And I guess most artists, they start a project
and then they'll take it to a certain level and then leave it.
So, like, if I can explain the whole vision
and create a storyboard for different visual artists and stuff,
I know that he's good at it and like there's certain bits
stuff that i i'm not good at so i i like i'm not i know certain artists and i kind of choose them to
do like uh like certain videos and stuff because i know they've got that kind of uh drive to do it
and and if i'm you know paying them and stuff they'll they'll they'll
complete the job quickly uh and and stuff uh but obviously it's you know this is for projects and
stuff but you know on my art i kind of you know it's never complete or it's never perfect but
i should really you know stick to my my, you know, good enough today is better than perfect tomorrow kind of thing.
Yeah.
And just post that art, you know.
Cool.
Well, I'm excited to see what transpires for you this year because it sounds like you're kind of you're going into 2026 thinking about your own project.
Like, I love that you're working on other projects too
because it sounds like you're really good at what you do.
You are helping people achieve their goals with their projects
and now it sounds like you're at the precipice of like,
okay, now I'm going to help myself achieve my own goals with my project.
So I'm excited to see what happens for you this year.
And you said you started a newsletter, so that's something that you can grow,
and it sounds like you have a whole lot of knowledge to share on various things.
So, yeah, awesome.
Thanks for coming through, dude.
Yeah, always a pleasure, you know.
Awesome.
Love it.
I wonder if you guys are working on something like a sub stack
or something everybody told their sub stack in the purple pill if you got like the linkedin and
shit like that you know just uh dm it to each other and help each other out everybody posts
that's what everybody should be doing tacking these apps mastering these algorithms faking it
till you make it i can almost assure you that the biggest people on here have faked it until you make it.
I've been in some of the rooms
with these guys
before they bought their accounts.
These guys who bought
Justin Bieber accounts
with a million followers,
you know, and shit like that.
They came out, you know,
bashing Trump and shit like that.
I'm not saying you can fake it
until you make it,
but you have to master these algorithms.
You work together,
follow each other,
like each other, shit, do whatever you feel comfortable. Don't go crazy. If you see some of these algorithms you work together um follow each other like each other
shit do whatever you feel comfortable don't go crazy if you see somebody's things just like it
you know and i and you do that you boost each other in the algorithms and then when you create
something just makes life more easier i don't know yeah absolutely make sure you're all sharing uh
it sounds like everybody's got a newsletter on beehive. So it sounds like that's the new place that everybody's using.
So share your Beehive in the Purple Pill or up top.
We're here to help each other grow.
That's the whole point of what we're doing.
So yeah, absolutely.
Let's go to who was next?
I think it was KC that's next.
Thanks for coming through I think you've been here for long enough to kind of get what we're get what we're going for so if you
have any thoughts on the topic you know setting the tone for 2026 and the various things we've
talked about here feel free to weigh in but, I would love to know if you have
a mission statement for 2026 for yourself.
All right. Well, first of all, we got to do the mandatory radio check. Are you reading
me loud and clear?
Loud and clear.
All right. Good. All right. First, turtle cleared.
So secondly, thank you for hosting this space.
This was just perfect.
So in answer to what you were asking about, well, I guess let's start with everything you said in your opening comments was about finding a system that works,
understanding your own human nature, eliminating bad habits,
and understanding the quantum nature of reality
and how the double-slit experiment demonstrates some small piece of the puzzle
that, you know, it's up for grabs on how you want to read into it,
but it definitely is food for thought.
So not to doubt it, we can always come back and discuss if you like.
But to answer your question, yes, I do have a mission statement.
It's pretty straightforward.
It's pretty straightforward.
It's my pinned post.
Starship Launcher is an app that I've been working on for about two years now.
I haven't made any updates to the file itself, but if you check out, I'll post a link.
But if you wind up wanting to download it and play it, you will get to experience kind of part of this journey that I'm on because I'm getting ready to roll out a new update to the entire project.
So it's going to change the look and feel and pretty much everything.
So that'll be kind of interesting if you already have it.
But if you wait a week,
then it'll be out then. Otherwise, though, the goal for 2026 would be to get as many downloads as possible. And just to the nature of what everyone's talking about, just building that
network of connecting and talking about putting your money where your mouth is like, yeah,
and talking about putting your money where your mouth is like yeah this was a lot of work
and um i only going back to the original statement of uh workflows and systems and whatnot
um ai has um you know been on topic as of late and everyone's like do we use it do we not use
it how do we use it and i was just like treating it as a toy for a long time but then I finally
said you know what all right why not just test it and see how this thing
actually responds to like real queries on stuff that is important but
complicated like super complicated things that have been bugging me for uh four years that you know i can
even talk to other humans about it but it's never entirely clear so i've been using ai in my workflow
now to kind of act as my navigator so and that's been um a turbocharger for my development.
What I thought would be anywhere for up to six months of work has only taken about a month now.
So like I said, the update will be coming probably by the next time we reconvene, the boom room.
So yeah, we can check back then.
But I will post linkage love it that's awesome
dude congratulations i i mean like i know it's a lot to to build something like that and it's
really cool because you took an idea and you actually like turned it into something that is tangible. And most people,
you know, their ideas live in their head or live in a notebook or in a voice note forever.
So you should be proud of that. That's awesome, dude.
Oh, thanks. Yeah, and I appreciate, you know, most importantly, my real goal this year is going to be
trying to engage,
and this is what I've heard in dev channels,
is the hardest part of once you've made your game
is actually getting people to play it, like it, comment on it,
and share it with other people because that's really the key to marketing.
But with the saturation rates and AI coming into the mix,
saturation rates and AI coming into the mix, it's even harder to stand out from the crowd
to gain that foothold. So yeah, it'll be interesting to see how it goes, but I appreciate
all the help and love and support I can get. And this would be the thing to do.
So this is awesome because you kind of led me into my next talking point that I have here.
And it sounds like so your example is a really good place to to go for this, because it sounds like you're at the point where you have this product built and now you need people to buy it.
You need to you need to sell it. You need to, you need to sell it. You need to, um, capitalize on it. Um, and that's
awesome. You're, you're at a really cool place because this is like, it's like a new beginning.
You've already, you finished something, you can check it off the list and you're like, cool,
onward, upward, let's go. Um, so that's really exciting. Um, with that, there are, because I
face this with music too. So I'm kind of relating it back to my own stuff here.
You know, I finish a song or I, you know, release a song.
That can be my check off the list.
Say, okay, cool, I got this song released.
Now what?
Right?
Like, how do I get this song or get this product into people's hands so that way it wasn't just, you know, me creating something.
But now it's me actually like living off of my
creations and turning it into a way that I can sustain my life. And it's really, really hard.
Like you said, it's oversaturated, not oversaturated, it's a saturated market.
AI is making things more difficult. Same thing in music, same thing in games, same thing in apps.
Things are really, really hard right now with marketing your work.
But it's not impossible.
It's going to require, you know, diligent effort, right?
And it can't be, okay, we'll just see how things go.
It literally can't be.
And I learned that the hard way.
You can see how things go, but if it's not planned and if it's not structured and if it's not
executed, if there's no effort being put into marketing, it's like, you know, you'll have a few people here and there. Imagine opening
a restaurant in an empty town and you might get a few little, like the truckers might drive through
and you might get a few stops and you might sell a few sandwiches. But unless you're, you know,
building a community around that restaurant or unless you open that restaurant in a place where there's people waiting for it, it's going to be really hard to keep yourself afloat and that
business will probably go out. So I learned that the hard way and one of the things that I have here
in the Bloom Room kind of like system I've built here is there's two here. So habit release and build is one of
the topics and then non-negotiables. So there's going to be certain habits that you're going to
have to adopt. And this applies to everybody, not just Casey and not just to myself, but in order
to achieve whatever it is that you're aiming for, there's going to be certain habits that you have to release
and let go of and then replacing those with something else.
We tend to do this thing where we stack things up, like at the beginning of the year, we're
like, okay, I'm going to do this, this, this, this, this, this, this.
I'm going to be like 10 times the person I was next year or last year.
And that we end up getting really
overwhelmed. And then it feels like a whole lot of work. And we're like, Oh my god, I can't do this.
Like it just becomes overwhelming. And that's why a lot of people just like fail at making changes
in their lives. Because in my opinion, when you build a habit, you kind of have to let go of another one. So something to think about,
and something to learn something to research, because marketing is not really that intuitive.
It's harder than people think it is. So maybe picturing like, what what would a successful
marketer be doing in their daily routine? When they wake up, what's the first
thing they do? You know, like, and then, then addressing like, okay, what's the very first
thing I do when I wake up? Am I doing that thing that a successful marketer does? I don't know.
I don't know if that's what you do. I, I can speak for myself. I can't speak for, for other people.
Um, what does, like, you can apply it through, throughout the whole day. Like, I can speak for myself. I can't speak for other people.
What does, like, you can apply it throughout the whole day.
Like, what does a successful person in my field do before they go to bed?
What do they do? What does their daily routine look like?
And then starting to align with those routines is, in my opinion,
that's like one of the most important things, right? We can set intentions, we can set mission statements, but unless we actually like
build and release certain habits, it's going to be really hard to actually achieve those things.
So some food for thought. I want to say one thing. Yeah, go ahead. When you're done, when you're done.
No, go ahead. Go ahead. Because I i'm gonna move on to the next point so you you were saying that um i i
think it's important to get into proximity with people like that who you want to you know who
you admire who you see doing well try to get in proximity of them and then you see how they're
moving you skip a lot of steps that way you You see, oh shit, they hired this person for brand
building. Oh shit, they did this over here. They did that over there. Anyway, you know,
getting to proximity with certain people, for me anyway, that's been a way I jumped many, many,
many steps. Way more important than school. Way more important than anything. When you're in
proximity, your mindset changes because their mindset, I had certain kids that grew up with their mindsets. They were just born like unshakable, unbreakable. And I was shakable and
breakable. So I had to learn from them, like, how are they like this? Why are they like this?
But once I learned it, I was like, oh, this is what they meant. Holy shit. But it's all about
proximity, I think. Yeah. And that's how you're going to learn what their habits are. You know
what I mean? Like if you're surrounding yourself what their habits are you know what i mean like if if you're
surrounding yourself with people that are better than you at what you do or what you're trying to
do that's the best way because you're gonna realize oh shit like these guys take their job
seriously these guys are doing this they're doing that they're waking up early i wake up at 11 o'clock
in the morning and the first thing i do is scroll on my phone. No. Successful people are probably, they're not expending energy. Like your energy is finite, right? You only have a
certain amount of energy every single day and you get to decide where you spend that energy.
And if you're spending it in places that don't facilitate growth then your growth is
going to be stagnant or very slow it's going to take way longer um and the the crappy part about
being human is that we just keep getting older so if we if we like sit in our comfort for too long
and we just like allow ourselves to be stagnant and not actually make moves like big moves, then, you know, we we burn out.
We end up in a burnout cycle and then we're like, what now?
And then we start something else like you ever have you ever known somebody that is always like pivoting?
Like pivoting is good.
We got to know when to pivot.
But you ever met someone that has like so much to give
and you know that they're super smart and super talented,
but instead of actually like doubling down on whatever it is that they're good at,
if they don't see success right away, they just pivot.
And then they pivot again.
And then they pivot again.
And they just can't seem to settle into what it is. Um, they're, they're, I don't
want to say meant to align with, but whatever it is, um, they could be really successful at it's,
it's not because they're like, I don't think it's like, um, a failure thing. I think it's like a failure thing. I think it's like not allocating energy well,
like not actually putting energy into things that matter,
letting it all sit in their mind
or like their energy gets cut off at a certain point
and they're like, nope, I'm not getting any dopamine from this.
So I'm going to move on to the next thing.
I think that happens a lot, even more so now that people are just like so over consumed with social
media. There's people out there that are like, oh, I posted this video and it didn't get that
many likes. So I'm just going to not post videos or, oh, I released a song and it didn't get that
many streams. So I'm just going to like, I don't know.
I need to go back to the drawing board and like refigure out my sound.
No, you don't need to refigure out your sound.
Half the time it's because of the very thing that we're talking about.
It's a saturated market.
It requires a lot of energy, a lot of marketing.
You need to be like, no, this is who I am.
This is the sound I want to make. And
I'm going to make it over and over and over again until the people that are meant to hear it, the
people that align with my sound align with it. Cool. It's going to take time, but you got to like
double down. Right. And so that kind of brings me to my next point, which is non-negotiables.
which is non-negotiables. So with the mission statement of 2026, I think it's important to
determine what your non-negotiables are. So by that, I mean like, I don't know, schedule one
thing into your week or into your day or into your month, whatever it is that works for you,
that is absolutely non-negotiable nothing can get in
the way of it obviously be smart about the way you schedule it and this actually comes with like
being realistic like you got to realistically think about what is it that I can put into my
schedule that I can achieve without question every single week as long as I say okay this is
non-negotiable it's happening try to fuck to fuck with me. I dare you. You know what I mean? Um,
I don't know. I, I, that's what I did in 2025. Um, it was like something clicked for me and I
realized that I was, I realized that I was a lot more of a people pleaser than I should have been.
And I kept putting other people's requests of me before my non-negotiables.
And luckily I realized that really early on in the year.
And I was like, no, this needs to stop.
So, and that changed a
lot for me. So, well, what are they, Mella? What are your non-negotiables? Well, so one non-negotiable
is, and it's not even a schedule thing. I think there's like a difference between
like scheduled non-negotiables and like, just like, um, general, like, I guess general things I do or general things that I prioritize.
And now it's like, unless, no, it's not even unless.
If someone asks something of me last minute and it's going to make me have to cancel or move something
that's important to me and important to my goals,
it's an absolute no, unless it's an emergency. If it's an emergency, that's different. Like a
family emergency, that's different. But yeah, I just kind of found myself like moving things around
for certain things that maybe I didn't need to or whatever. No, like now if it's like,
hey, I need you to do this. Can you do this for me? No, absolutely not. Sorry. Like,
and just learning to say no, that was one thing that I really had to get used to and I was not
good at before. So now it's a non-negotiable. If something is going to get in the way of a plan that I made
or something that I scheduled that has to do with my growth as an artist or my growth as a person
or even something that is just like, you know, something important to me, it's a no. So yeah, that's one example. And then schedule wise, I have one day every single week that I spend being a creative because a lot of my tasks require me to do admin work.
mean I send a whole lot of emails. That's one of my non-negotiables too. It was like I every week
allocate a certain amount of time to sending emails and that changed everything for me because
I used to say oh I don't have time like it's taking too long blah blah blah. No I have time.
Everybody's got time. We got time. If that means you got to go to bed later,
you can sleep when you're dead. Okay. Um, so yeah, like, uh, my creative time is a non-negotiable.
Nobody can fuck with it. Um, sometimes it has to move around in the week, depending on like,
if I have a gig or, you know, if like an event comes up that I
have to attend, sometimes I have to move that day to a different day, but it's a non-negotiable
every single week. I have a creative day where I just spend writing and brainstorming and just
being a creative person, writing and singing and doing my music stuff and then the other the opposite is the admin
allocation of time because it's really important I would say like
I I used to I used to think of it as work and like the boring stuff but then I reframed it to like
not be that it's it's not work and it's not boring because
who else can say like um they spend their days like trying to get opportunities for themselves
as musicians and then those opportunities come through and I'm like oh my god I'm going on the
radio I'm going on like the biggest radio station in Canada. Like what? Who else can say that they do that, right? So I'm like, it's not work. I'm still doing what I love
to do. It's just part of the process. You can't just be a musician. You also have to be an
entrepreneur, right? So just like KC was talking about, he can't just be an app designer. He can't just be an app designer. He can't just be an app creator.
He also has to be an entrepreneur and allocate time to being that entrepreneur.
Sorry to call you out, Casey.
Oh, you're good.
No worries.
Cool.
Yeah, so non-negotiables. Mella, how was that radio?
After you say non-negotiables, tell us how that was, that experience.
It was cool. It was honestly, like, really early in the morning. I woke up and I was on the radio,
so it was really crazy, very surreal. I, yeah, and then they played my song,
because it was like the week before Christmas. It was the Monday before Christmas. So for like
because it was, like, the week before Christmas. It was the Monday before Christmas,
seven days after that, they played my song, my Christmas song on the radio. And I think a couple
other songs like Silly Games and Dance and Cry. They were playing my music on the radio all week
and I didn't even know that. So that was really cool because they didn't tell me they were going to do that. I went on YouTube and someone commented on my YouTube, like one of my songs on YouTube.
And they were like, hey, it was so cool to hear you on the radio all week on CBC.
And I was like, what? All week? What do you mean?
And then I looked into it and yeah, played me all week so super cool it's really
hard to get on to CBC guys I've sent them so many emails I am relentless I that's another thing be a
relentless emailer don't let if someone doesn't answer you don't think of that as like ah shit
they they didn't answer me or they didn't see see my email just think of that as like, ah, shit, they, they didn't answer me or they didn't see my email. Just think of that as like, they're just really thinking about, I don't know. Like,
I just, I was like, I don't see it as a no. It's not a no until someone says no. If someone says
no to you, even then there's still room to be like, are you sure because I think this really aligns with
what you guys are doing like there is no no you can't you can't take um that as an answer
especially as a musician it's like I'm still good I'm gonna show up at your door like um I
have a friend and I intend to do this this year this is one of my goals this year I have a friend and I intend to do this this year. This is one of my goals this year. I have a friend that was giving me a pep talk once and he grew up in the era of music where it was like, instead of
emailing people, you were literally going to the radio stations and like knocking on the door and
being like, play my song, you know, Vessi knows. And, um, he, he said that he would bring like
champagne and he, well, he'd walk into like
the head office of whatever, wherever he was trying to pitch his music. He'd walk in and he'd
say, hey, I have a meeting with so-and-so. He'd learned the name of the music director of the
place. He'd walk in and be like, I've got a meeting with so-and-so at 3.30. And they'd be like,
no, you don't. And he's like, what do you mean? I don't, I drove for
two hours to get here. And you're telling me, I don't have a, I don't have a meeting scheduled.
What are you talking about? I even brought him champagne. And then they'd feel bad. And they'd
be like, they'd be like, oh shit. Okay. Hold on. And they'd go get the guy. And then the guy would
be like, I I'm sorry. I don't know how this happened.
What are you here for?
And then he'd be like, yo, man, I just need five seconds of your time.
Listen to my song.
Here's a bottle of champagne.
And he'd hit play on his boombox and be like, just dancing in his office.
Like, can you play this on the radio, please?
I wish I had experience with that.
I don't.
I do have experience going into Warner Brothers and meeting Tom Wally
and breaking a fucking guitar string and leaving there really pissed.
Oh, my gosh.
It was just it was a different time back then, he said.
Like, he's in I think he's in his, like, 40s or something.
And he said, like, he was selling his CDs out of his trunk.
You know, he was going into the radio stations.
He was showing up in real life.
And now everything is so impersonal, you know, like you're sending emails and you're just
another email in their inbox.
email in their inbox and that's and I think it's the same with everything like um I'm sure
And that's, and I think it's the same with everything.
other people can relate in in their fields of creativity and whatever it is they do entrepreneurial
wise but like it just feels like you're never actually reaching humans you're just like
sending something off into the abyss of the internet and hoping that it lands right
do you guys feel that yeah definitely I do think though that there is the old adage the vintage
I got my headshot I got my I know that they still have a cd player I know I'm gonna go walk up to
this place and just hand this to them I I think people, old school people really like that.
I think it's still important to like have that stuff with you.
If the, if the, or, you know, a thumb drive or whatever it is, you know, digitally that
you're able to just put a, put the organic thing in their hand.
Yeah.
You know, this is what's up and you know, I'll, I'll see you next week.
Yeah, no, you took the, you took the words right out of my mouth in a much better way like i was gonna say like i think it's important
to keep that keep that like keep doing that like have i have an epk i have you know um tangible
pieces that i can i can share with people in a way that I think is unique, right? I'm just not
leaning on like the social media numbers and the stream numbers because that's just one piece of
the puzzle. A lot of the times these people want to see that you take yourself seriously enough
that you treat yourself as a business, like you're running a business, right? Because they don't want
to have to teach you how to do that. That's the thing. They really don't want to have to teach
you how to do that. That's why they're signing people that are already successful on social
media. Because if you're already successful on social media, and let's say you've got management
or whatever, they know for a fact that you know how to manage yourself you know how to
manage your time you know how to to pitch yourself and be a business person that looks really good
because again they don't want to have to teach you that and they like it's more work for them
and a dish in a distribution deal for a self-made you know indie, indie artist. I mean, that's the best case scenario
because you're getting distributed
and you're handling your own shit.
You know, you're handling it yourself.
You have your own business.
You have your own S Corp
or whatever it is you have under your business.
And tax write-offs,
not only tax write-offs for everything that you purchase
having to do with your business
or all the time you spend
to actually write down those hours
of all that time that you put in yeah absolutely desi knows simple as this meli
sounds very good but meli plc sounds good to the money-making business people yes
absolutely that's the that's the key you are a business you have to treat yourself as such
and i'm like again i'm not just talking about myself
in the bloom room we're trying to help each other grow and i know other people can relate 100% Oh my god
Happy New Year if you don't mind me
Just taking the mic for a moment
Yeah I was going to say thanks for coming through
Happy New Year to everybody I know in the year
Happy New Year
Obviously you
A big Happy New Year to Danger Devin

Chris as well
So so many people to be honest.
It's great to see you all again.
I've been off for a few months.
That's me.
I was a minor musician.
Many people wanted to manage me.
We're talking 30 years ago.
I'm an old man now.
So I'm interested in all this, but I can give thumbs-ups and smiles
or 100% and stuff like that.
I can send you emojis.
I went into it a little bit.
Even then, I thought,
well, you know, I'm not that great.
I'll stay an English teacher
and play my concerts two or three times a week.
You people, though, the people I know on here whose music I've heard,
you're pretty amazing, so stick with your music because you're much better than I was.
Oh my gosh, you're funny i bet you were the most or are the most incredible english teacher
i highly doubt it hey okay that's i gave you i gave you a chance okay guys this is what we're
gonna do don't worry we're gonna remove him as a speaker i love it i gave him a chance i didn't see i i knew that it was possible that he was gonna be a bit of a troll
because i don't he doesn't follow me i don't follow him and uh he just came in here requested
right away before even knowing what we're talking about so that's usually a kind of a giveaway
david no not david rumple still i missed it i missed him i didn't even see it That's usually kind of a giveaway. David? No, not David.
Rumpelstiltskin. Oh, I missed it.
I missed him.
I didn't even see it.
Well, I'm just glad that Rumpelstiltskin woke up to talk to me.
Yeah, it's okay.
Yeah.
And he came to steal everybody's shekels.
Yeah, exactly.
That was Southern.
What's up, Southern?
Thanks for coming through. What's up, brother? What's up, Melody? what's up southern thanks for coming through what's up
what's up aj man no i'm just soaking in mellow b's aura right here man i'm impressed as always
she's a force to be reckoned with and and here i find her uh you know this evening putting her uh
putting her stake in the ground right here as in the first of a series.
I must take my hat off and applaud and come and be a part of
as I find myself rather stoned here in the evening and I want to
partake of some energy and what better energy
than the creative energy of one that has already proven herself
across the land and sky and sea the way I
want to be seen and heard and feel.
Yes, I'm already feeling like
2026 is going to be a transformative year for many, many people.
I love that.
Right?
Yes, absolutely. Transformative. um if you have chosen to have that right yes absolutely transformative it'll be this year will be whatever you want it to be as long as you align with that desire and align your actions with
that desire so melabee i am currently in my newsletter right now. Sorry, that's my lie.
I'm currently putting you in my newsletter right now.
I just wanted to know what your thoughts would be of this subtitle here.

I like it. It's what it is? Yes. That's very cool. I like it.
It's on brand for sure.
Yes.
Because, you know, bee is like a bumblebee.
You know, bees are, you know, what we need to have blossoming flowers.
So I thought it would be a cute little twist.
The bee in the blossom.
Yes.
Bee in the blossom.
Yeah. Love it. little twist let's be in the blossom yes be in the blossom yeah love it um yeah let me think
we should we should do uh everybody go to the comments this is what we should do go to the
comments and give subtitle suggestions. Let's collaborate here.
Yes, I would love that.
Thank you. Yeah, what's happening is
Sunette is writing a newsletter
and she is promoting me so graciously.
She's helping to spread the word about me and my music,
which is just so cool.
And she's thinking up a subtitle
that's on brand with meli b so if anybody has any suggestions go into the comments
and then sinette can uh can go and have a look love it thank you so much sinette that's awesome
thank you you know i got a question for you melella. And so that she's just an angel.
But, you know, how do you get around all the cloud stuff?
Like, as far as you see all these people that are looking for cloud, they have to fight with each other and all that.
Like, it's very hard for people who are not like entertaining that stuff to build a little bit.
What do you think about that?
What do you mean?
Like, how do I view, like, people that are chasing cloud? Or, like, what do you mean? Like, like, how do I view like, uh, people that are chasing clout or like,
what, what do you mean? Yeah. Like at what point it makes it a little bit difficult when you're,
when you're like on the straight and narrow compared to everybody else who were like in
this attention economy, you know, these fake influencer wars and everything. Um, you know,
they're using controversy to get ahead. How do you get ahead without using that?
using controversy to get ahead yeah how do you get ahead without using that yeah so i think i think
that that is a short-lived success so like you know how there's like people that cheat their
way to the top they usually don't see longevity they they see like a like a short-term success
they they'll like blow up for a year and then they fall off
and nobody even knows who they are anymore that shit happens all the time and that's what you see
with the like just you know rage bait and the the clout chasing the people that are just inauthentic
and um you know posting things that aren't like true to them and aren't true to their identity
and their authenticity they they can't maintain it.
It's not maintainable because it's not their truth, right? The only thing you're going to
be able to maintain and grow and continue to keep watering is something that actually feels
like true to you because it's impossible. I just don't think it's possible to maintain something
like that. And if it is, what you're doing is
you're building like a false narrative around yourself. So then when people actually start to
realize that it's fake or that it's not true to you, then people give up on you. And they're like,
nope. Because people love authenticity. We have a whole lot of fake shit in the world. We have
this overwhelming, just like, it's just, we're being flooded
with content constantly. And I think, um, you know, it's, it's really naive of people to assume
that the average person doesn't see through that. I think humans are a lot smarter than we give
ourselves credit for. And we, you know, we have to start thinking about that.
And if you want to be a person that, you know,
clout chases and just post stuff that's not authentic to you
or create something that's not true to you,
it's okay.
Like, you can do that.
But just remember,
authenticity is going to be even more valuable soon. Because when AI,
you know, everybody's putting out content with AI, your uniqueness is what's going to set you apart,
your humanness is what's going to set you apart. Because there's going to be a whole lot of content
coming at us that's like, okay, I've seen this before. Okay, another person putting out this.
Okay, yeah. Okay, I'm done with this shit.
People are going to get tired of it.
And like AJ was saying earlier, they're going to crave the human connection.
They're going to crave authenticity.
So you might as well just start there.
You might as well just be you and start with authenticity because there's no point.
You don't want to have to go backpedal later and rebrand.
You're so right.
It's so noticeable now when people do it it's almost
like oh they're just rage baiting they got us early on in the game but now it's like all right
this guy's cloud chasing rage baiting but uh yeah i agree yeah yeah rage bait is so funny
it's people love to be angry i've noticed it if you go on YouTube, all the best titles on
YouTube, the ones that perform the best
tend to be negative. Have you
guys noticed that?
Yep. Well, let me tell you
something that's happened. We have
a K-shaped society
right now, K-shaped economy.
Basically, there's going to be people that really
get ahead and there's going to be a lot of
people that just shit the bed. Now, there's going to be 95% of get ahead. And there's going to be a lot of people that just shit the bed.
Now, 95% of the people will be shitting the bed in this economy.
They'll be doing it mentally, physically, spiritually, financially.
They're going to be shitting the bed.
They're going to be very unhealthy.
However, the very few that make it up top,
they're the ones that are going to be concentrated and focused.
However, those K-shaped groups where they're all negative
and blaming everybody and blaming the Jews and blaming everybody, they are actually contrived therapy
groups made to catch people because they know many people aren't going to be able to create.
So if you're not creating, you're going to be working for people again. And there's a lot of
these groups on the line right now, they're therapy groups. And you know, it's almost like
talk radio. Talk radio is mostly like therapy, but don't be that. Don't be groups. And you know, that it's almost like talk radio, talk radio is
mostly like therapy. But don't be that. Don't be a consumer, you know, create. That's what it's
about. Yeah, and it gets confusing, right? Because like what we were talking about earlier,
your identity is what determines your behavior, not the opposite, right? Like your behaviors.
Sure, you could think like, okay, everybody's accumulation,
like their identity is a cumulative,
just like compound of all of their behaviors into one thing.
But in my opinion, if you can like identify,
and I'm thinking in branding and in marketing here,
if you can identify how you wanna be perceived,
and it's much easier to be perceived as yourself because
if you want to like put up this facade it's going to be really hard to keep up like i was saying
um then it's so much easier to define what your behaviors need to be right because like if you
say okay i want to be a person that people look to for i'm not not going to use myself as an example. I want to be a person that
people look to for financial, um, not maybe, um, you know, they, they're really, really well versed
in the world of finance and people look to me for that advice because I, you know, move in ways that they see as really admirable.
And I've done really well for myself.
So people want to look to me for that.
Imagine trying to be that.
Imagine trying to embody that without actually being that.
You know what I mean?
Like that would be impossible.
How are you supposed to keep that up?
There's only so much you can do.
So much Googling you can do.
Or chat you be teeing you can do until it's like you're just not giving people anything of value anymore because they can go find it elsewhere right um same thing with like you know
you're not gonna pose yourself as this like oh i'm the i'm the person that knows every conspiracy theory in the world.
And I'm going to be that person that people go to to have that discussion. And we're going to
talk about conspiracy theories every day in and day out. But you actually are just like super,
super like surface level. And you actually don't know anything. And you're just like Googling. And
you know what I mean? People are eventually going to figure you out and then it's gonna fall off
right so that's what I mean about longevity there's only so long you can upkeep that
um and like the clout chasing sometimes it works for people I've seen people monetize
um just simply on like being that like clout chasing negative Nancy online and just posting like, did you hear this person did that?
Or did you hear that person did this?
And like, I've seen people be really successful with that.
But you have to remember, like, that's the current climate of social media.
And do we like, do things just stay like that forever?
I don't know.
But that's the current climate of social media.
What happens when that changes?
What happens when people are done with that narrative
and they're just like, oh, I don't really want to expose myself
because I think people are going to get there.
I think a lot of times people lean into that
not thinking about the fact that that's going to get old really quick.
And then the way that they've positioned themselves,
just they become like somebody that people are actually trying to actively avoid
at some point in the future.
So, because I think that it kind of aligns with the same way I think about like,
um hmm be careful here uh like we we already talked about this like people are putting out
a whole lot of ai content people are going to actively try to avoid that eventually because
they're going to get so tired of it like okay i want like things from your real humans now like
they're going to get tired of it. They're going to crave human connection.
So if you position yourself as a person that's just solely relying on that one thing
and clout chasing based on that one thing,
it might be short-lived.
I don't know.
What do you think?
Does that answer the question?
Yeah, that 100% does.
I think people are starting to catch on to how these people operate on here and with all the negativity and really the brain rot.
But like you said, if you could provide services for people, that's what Gary Vee, Gary Vee is one of the top influencers in the world.
I don't know much about him, but there's other people I do follow.
And they say, you got to follow the Gary Vee way.
What Gary Vee did is he spoke about red wine or something in like 2006.
And it's just like, you know,
he wound up blowing up on just speaking about red wine.
And he wound up rolling that into like, he's this big successful guy.
However, he just mastered the art of creating content and this and that.
And there are systems, you know, I think for you, maybe like,
you need a brand builder of some sort. I think I think everybody does in a way,
some kind of brand builder. I don't know how much it costs, but I don't know.
Yeah, it's interesting. I feel like, I don't know, like everyone,
that was a very dramatic slam of my notebook. Everyone is trying to do the exact same thing in different ways, which is monetizing their, basically monetizing their identity. Right? Is that, does that make sense? Like, that seems to be what everybody's trying to do.
That seems to be what everybody's trying to do.
And using shortcuts to help them do so, which is fine.
We can use technology to help us.
But like, I kind of think about the stock market when I think about these things.
And it's like, just because something goes up doesn't mean it's up only.
It doesn't mean that it's up forever, right?
When the general consensus about that particular stock goes down,
you watch markets go to the top and then you watch them absolutely crash,
and then they might trickle up a little bit and then go down and then up and then down and then up so if you're basing
your entire um idea of success on that then you no longer are running a business you're just like
you know what i mean like it's like you gotta no matter how well you're doing, as long as you're aligned,
it shouldn't really matter if you're seeing like immediate success.
Like that shouldn't matter.
At least it doesn't matter to me.
I'm going to continue to make music regardless.
I'm going to continue to build all of these things that I want to build regardless.
And as long as I'm true to myself and aligned with myself and my goals, then I don't know, it doesn't really matter to me.
I remember hearing your story initially a couple years ago, Mela, and you had mentioned the moment you decided to go for music and what an exciting decision that was,
go for music and what an exciting decision that was, especially given your background and
graduating in the, in the, with the degree that you graduated with and, and then going for music.
I'm just super happy for you. And, um, I, I think success is, is, is being happy and, uh,
gratitude's a big part of that. And I think that there's nothing you can't achieve. And it really is just a mindset and literally creating your future with your songs.
So let's fucking go.
Yeah, let's fucking go.
Thanks, Bessie.
Yeah, it's been like, it's such a weird journey.
I've been like in so many different worlds, I feel like.
But this is the one that feels right.
So I continue to do it it continue to make music and
um someone i really look up to is believe it or not tony hinchcliffe i don't know if anybody knows
who tony hinchcliffe is but i love tony hinchcliffe i watch i am in the top 9% of Kill Tony watchers in 2025.
Yeah, because I put them on in the background all the time.
Like, I always have...
Who is Tony Hinchcliffe?
You ever see that one?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So he hosts a show called Kill Tony where he...
It's like the biggest podcast in the world. Like, if you go on YouTube and you search Kill Tony, it like the biggest podcast in the world. Like he, if you go on YouTube and
you search Kill Tony, it's the biggest podcast in the world. He hosts it, uh, in front of thousands
of people every week. He has never missed a week in 11 years, I think 12 years. Um, and it's
basically comedians going up and they get one minute to say their jokes. And then basically the whole panel just roast them.
Okay.
So on YouTube, I have to look for Kill Tony.
Kill Tony.
Yes.
And it's hilarious.
But the reason I love Tony so much is because he built his empire, like literally an empire.
He is an independent that built an empire. All of these,
he was writing for other comedians. He was writing for movies. He was writing scripts and stuff.
And anytime he wanted to actually like get in and like be a part of the program,
they kept turning him down and turning him down and turning him down. And he was like,
no, you're just the writer. Yeah. They're like, no, you're just the writer yeah they're like no you're just the writer so he ended up saying you know what fuck this i'm gonna start my own thing and he
started kill tony and it grew into like the biggest blew yeah it grew into like the biggest
comedy podcast in the world it blew the fuck up and he has continued it but he has this like
he's doing things differently he didn't build his empire
in a selfish way because he's giving opportunities to people people that would not have those
opportunities otherwise so he's basically giving his platform to these you know comedians from all
over the world fly to austin texas to try and get on this show they put their name in a bucket and
he pulls out random
names and if you get your name called you're gonna go up and you're gonna do your minute
and that's your debut and you're gonna be watched by millions of people because not only are you
standing in front of a crowd of thousands but his youtube channel gets millions of views so he's
giving his panel he's had like so many celebrities on his panel like it's not just his
yeah his like you know his reach it's everybody that he involves reach too it's incredible it's
beautiful he does it is beautiful and like what he's done for for small town comedians is so
admirable to me because like i'm talking like these nobody
comedians that live in the middle of buttfuck nowhere they go up there they do their minute
and if they're funny if they do well um he he has these things called the the golden ticket
and if you get the golden ticket then uh you basically get sprinkled into other episodes
like he'll call you back you get a
call back basically for kill it's like you're going to hollywood for like you know america's
got talent yeah but the beautiful thing about it is it's not fake it's not fake at all all of it is
random you're literally putting your name in a bucket and hoping you get called.
He's not doing the whole Hollywood fucking pulling the wool over everybody's eyes,
this is all rigged thing.
No, it's legit.
And that's why I find him so admirable because he was like,
you know what, fuck the system.
Hollywood's not giving me any opportunities.
I'm going to make opportunities for myself. I i'm gonna build the biggest podcast in the world and i'm
gonna bring people along with me and i'm gonna uplift other people that would not get opportunities
unless you know you know what i mean like they they end up doing really incredible things yeah
get their name pick so i want to play the bucket pick my name game.
It's so cool.
Smart businessman
but he's got
a heart too.
He's given so many opportunities
to people that normally wouldn't have him.
I've seen little people on his show.
I've seen people with speech impediments.
People in wheelchairs.
It doesn't matter. Your name's in the bucket.
If it gets drawn, you better show.
Yeah.
And that's the beauty of it.
It's like, no, I'm calling your name.
Like, show up.
Yeah, that's all in danger.
I was just thinking.
I was just thinking.
I love it, Bessie.
Imagine your name gets drawn out of a hat,
and that day you're not very well.
Oh, dear.
Yeah.
Yeah, but, okay okay so what he does time
to suck it up buttercup this is the cool thing though he lets you do a minute okay you do a
minute and then there's the sound of a cat a cat meows and says okay your minutes up if you keep
going let's say your joke isn't done you can finish your joke but if you keep going then eventually
the sound of the the bear comes out
and it's like okay now you're really done okay you got to stop talking and then he interviews you
for a while sometimes those interviews go on for 10 minutes like he just asks you a bunch of
questions just thrills and you gotta go like go into it light-hearted because it's comedy right
like it's it's like you when you go to a comedy show, you can't be sensitive to anything because it's comedy.
But yeah, he asks people questions like, what's your sex life like?
Or like, what's something about you that nobody would ever expect?
Or he'll ask you many questions.
And the reason-
This paraplegic guy is like like how did you lose your leg
like yeah nobody wants people that shit you know and the reason he does that is because
sure you might have not done a good minute maybe your jokes weren't written well maybe you didn't
deliver them well but he's gonna try and ask you these questions and pull the funny out of you
and then he'll give you tips he'll'll be like, hey, you know what?
You did really well when you started talking about this.
Maybe you should write some jokes about this, right?
So he's not there to like roast you as much as he's there.
Like, yeah, he's roasting you,
but he's also there to kind of like give you tips
and give you tricks and like, hey,
maybe you should lean into this.
You're really funny when you talk about that.
Or, hey, that character that you're trying to play,
scrap that character and just be yourself
because you're a lot more funny when you just talk with your voice.
Like, it's awesome what he does.
So he built an empire.
Yeah, because he's a guy who knows the business.
Fantastic.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Go ahead, Vessi.
Sorry.
I was going to say he built an empire helping people,
which is amazing.
He gave himself the platform. He aligned, Mella, with his desire. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
That's why I look up to him so much. I literally look up to Tony Hinchcliffe so much. I'm following
him now, and I put him in the comments, and I sent him to all the people that want to be comedians
that I know, and I didn't know about him. So thank you for telling me about him.
Well, he built an empire helping people as much as he did testing people.
And that's the beauty of it.
It's like, okay, you were funny here.
How far can you push it?
Like, write more.
Do more.
You know what I mean?
It's just, it's really awesome.
Sounds like a mentorship kind of.
It is.
It almost is.
It really is.
Yeah, he'll say okay
how long have you been doing comedy they'll be like oh i've been doing like 13 years and they're
like okay how many shows you done okay why aren't you going to open mics every week like what like
he literally grills you that's one of my uh first dreams was to be uh like gilda radnor on snl
oh really be funny with funny with the blank.
Yeah.
Tony had some guy come on.
He did have no hands. I think Devin was saying it.
He's like, what do you do for a living?
And I'm guessing it's not handball.
Yeah, he's
so funny.
Wasn't he like, yeah, I'm a bricklayer or some shit
like that?
I forget. I got a loop, but it was great.
It was good, though. I'm a bricklayer or some shit like that? I forget. I forget. I got a loop, and it was great. It was good, though.
I remember that.
He's coming to my city in June, and I really want to go see him perform.
I'm manifesting meeting him.
We're going to be best friends one day.
You're going to open up for him.
Fuck yeah.
You're going to be here with your guitar guitar and I think that that's going to happen
actually. Yeah I love him. I look up to that guy so much. Again it's not even just the fact that
he built like a great successful business and an empire but like the fact that he did it in a way
that uplifts people. I mean it kind of aligns guys. The Bloom Room is all about aligning with
our goals and like keep holding each other accountable. I'm going to call you out.
Like I wrote down your goals.
I'm going to be like,
what are you doing?
What,
like,
why aren't you doing this?
So I don't know.
I just love them.
And I look up to them a lot.
Man,
in six months,
Mel,
are you going to send me a DM and I'll be like,
fuck.
she's going to tell you to get to the studio
And send her demos once a week
So that she can tell you if they're good enough
And if they're not
She'll be like nah you suck
There are a couple things I would like to say though
I talked before about danger
Devin and Mel Mela B.
Danger, I've been listening to for about the last year,
like on Jonathan's space and things like that.
I love the guy.
He's a great player.
And Mela, I heard on there first of all, I think,
and then on Kara's space and stuff like that.
One thing I love, Mela, is when you were making your album,
you were posting things
every time you felt
like it, which was pretty often
you got a lot of energy.
And I loved it. I was
following it, you know, with
saliva dripping from both
sides of my mouth.
It was great. You made
a fan here. You had a fan before because you're wonderful.
But, you know, just making those little videos and posting them, I was following them avidly
and loving every moment, you know. And going back to maybe the moment when Casey was talking and stuff like that. You know, there is nothing really better than word of mouth, you know, groundswell.
That's the way to get something going.
It takes a while.
It's slow.
But if your stuff is worth it, I'm talking to everybody here.
If your stuff is worth it it'll get there you
might have to wait but it's worth it it's worth being patient keeping on
keeping on as they say and you know just being true to yourselves because if
you're good you're good and all you have to do is, it's a difficult world these days,
but stay true.
Stay true.
Stay hard.
Keep that energy going.
You had loads of energy to start with and loads of ideas.
Keep those ideas and that energy going.
And that's enough from the english fucker good night
cheerio oh chap no david i love you man you know that and and just i i want to piggyback off what
he said it's true like that's the way i started my fucking business was word of mouth like if you
do a good job one customer will lead to three. Three customers will lead to 12.
12 will lead to 24.
And before you know it, you've got a clientele of over 100, 200 people that, like, trust you to do a good job.
And trust your work.
And that's the same.
It goes the same for music.
It goes the same for any industry.
Word of mouth is the most powerful advertisement.
Absolutely, David.
Thank you for saying that.
Yeah. Oh, my God, so true.
So, has David spoken well enough to have deserved a live rendition of a song from either of my two heroes on here?
I'm old.
I might die before you come back.
Oh my gosh.
Yes, let's do some music.
I love your music.
He sounds like another cheerleader.
Love your music.
I was watching a pirate documentary last night, and I swear to God, I'm sitting here looking like David Teach or his teacher, but, you know, I'm just sitting here thinking, this is Blackbeard and his flesh here, man, just like talking for us. I love it.
I know, his voice is like,
I would like you to...
He's just a
cunt. I would like David
to MC.
I would actually love
the Discovery Channel
to ring me and say, hey, David,
we need your voice for certain
narrations. We'll make you a millionaire
yeah but it's not gonna happen is it hey you never know you never know I think you're already
a millionaire buddy I am not actually I'm a very poor man okay I'm gonna I'm gonna close out the
space soon I didn't want I don't want this to run too long.
We're going to try and keep these spaces pretty concise.
It's been about just over two hours.
You're right, we do need to end with some music,
so I'm definitely going to play a song.
Could the Englishman say, and I have about 15 degrees in language and literature,
the language level on here has been perfect.
I wrote a message in the bottom bubble that I should say fuck at one stage
just so that people listen to the recording.
I wouldn't say this is a light space.
It's been amazing.
I love this space. Thank you, meliby for having the space oh thank you that means a lot coming from an english teacher um yeah i'm seeing your comment
right now he says there's only so much googling you can do i'm going to keep that one like a like
a little treasure oh think i oh think i should say
fuck at some point on here otherwise people listening on the record might take it as light
that's funny you're funny i'm reading all the comments now the english and their linguistic
supremacy i swear to god go ahead was that sonette no it's Felicia. Oh, it was Felicia.
Yeah, baby.
I know.
I'm your cheerleader.
I was supposed to be here from get-go.
You know, I got our time differences messed up because you're, what, one hour before or one hour after me.
I'm in Texas and you're.
I'm in, I'm just outside Toronto. It's 10, 20 p.m. right now.
Oh, it'd be an hour before you for sure.
Yeah, so I got it all messed up.
I came in late tonight.
But I'm here, girl.
That's all that matters.
Your cheerleader showed up.
You look like you got another cheerleader on board there too, David.
I do.
I do.
Way to go.
Thank you for coming through, Felicia.
I love you so much.
You're like the best cheerleader ever.
So thank you so much for coming through
yeah but i'll try to do some competition i think she's great
yep um okay so let's let's do some wrap up and then some music and then we're gonna skedaddle
out of here and we're gonna go tend to our IRL lives or we're
going to end up in another space because we're all addicts. Or we'll all go to X got talent.
Exactly. Exactly. Okay. So today we talked about setting the tone for 2026. What does that mean?
We are not using words like, oh, maybe I'm going to do this or if this happens then i'm gonna do that or you know i don't know
if i can achieve this but i really want to we're not gonna be those people this year we're gonna
actually speak definitively we're gonna say this year i am going to do this whatever that fill in
the blank okay get a piece of paper.
Write it down.
Post it on your wall.
As an English teacher, I can tell you that there are three forms of the future. There is the will, which is for predictions.
There is the present continuous, which is for what is basically inevitable.
And there is the going to which is for determination
exactly beautifully said my goal thank you and that's what we're going to do this year we're
going to be determined and we're going to act in ways that align with that determination okay
so actually what i'm going to ask of everybody is go to, what is it, the little, go create a post, go to your homepage right now on X, click the little plus sign, and you're going to write in the're gonna say this year I'm going to and you're gonna write what you're gonna do this year and then you're gonna
hashtag the bloom room and we're gonna start a movement this is a movement okay
don't be embarrassed about it just go do it okay and tag me if you want you can
just hashtag the bloom room or you can do both you can tag me too and then I'm
gonna go comment and I'm gonna give you flowers I'm gonna tell you you're you you're amazing. And we're all going to, we're all going to go
comment on each other's posts. Okay. Um, okay. So yeah, that's the first piece next week. Let's
see what next week is. I have this all planned out next week. Um, Hmm. Turning chaos into systems. What can we automate? Simple workflows, tools that reduce
mental load. So we're going to talk about that kind of stuff next week. There are ways to make
your job easier and there's nothing wrong with that because we work smart. We don't work hard.
Well, we work hard, but we also work smart um so yeah next week is going
to be a little bit of a different time though because i have a gig at 8 p.m so as you can
probably assume i can't be in two places at once so we're probably going to start a little bit
i know unfortunately no limitations no i know i know i know um but yeah maybe she's cheating on me already I have a gig I gotta go
play music for people in real life I have to I promised them and I'm getting paid to do so
so I gotta do it and we're not paying her so everybody shut up yeah like no I'm kidding um yeah so next week I'll like I'm gonna post the space uh literally
ASAP like tonight I'll post the space and schedule it probably gonna start around like a little bit
earlier maybe like 4 30 5 o'clock something like that so that way um I have time to get ready and
get there to the gig um But it'll be recorded.
So if you miss it, if you can't be there that early, that's okay.
You'll be able to go back and listen.
I'm also taking notes and I'll be posting those notes in a...
I have this little database of everything for the Bloom Room.
So I'll be sharing that with you guys soon.
Yeah, so this week, all you got to do is make a mission statement.
Remember, this is a workshop. This is not a space. We're not just going to talk the talk we're going to walk the walk that's right
absolutely melibi i i made a little poem for you i put it up there in the demo time for this oh my
god let me see the b can i read it or do you want to read it you can read it okay the bee and mella's bonnet
blossoms a blossoming i can't do this a blossoming musical musician bringing inspiration upon an
x-space mission oh i like that etching a bee beautiful sonnet echoes a buzz of creation
from her bonnet oh this is so cute mella is in the bloom room to inspire exceptional
quantum begins to aspire leaps the heart of a laurel poetess like me astonishing savant uh
embarks on our heart's decree savant it's savant okay Okay. I'm bad at that. And poetess.
That was beautiful.
Wait, I should have got, you know what, next time either sonnet or someone that's better at reading poems is going to read.
Here, I'll go ahead and read it.
Okay. Do you want me to read it again?
Yes, please.
Okay.
The bee and mellows.
You just shouldn't be so nervous reading it, that's all.
I couldn't be so nervous reading it, that's all.
Sorry, go ahead.
Sorry, go ahead.
The bee in Mela's bonnet blossoms,
a blossoming musical musician,
bringing inspiration upon an ex-space mission.
Etching a bee, beautiful sonnet,
echoes a buzz of creation from her bonnet.
Mela is in the bloom room to inspire,
exceptional quantum beings to aspire,
leaps the heart of a laurel poetess like
me astonishing savant embarks on our hearts decree
and there you go that was so much better than yeah that was beautiful no mella you were fine
you were just nervous reading it because it was so uh good about
you yeah it's hard to read about myself um that was beautiful thank you so much for for writing
that i love that so much you know it's um it's about uh i noticed how beautiful your music is
and it's straight from the heart and you you know, you play it so beautifully.
I'm good at maybe just saying poems and things like that.
But it's important that we inspire one another, you know, and you are a beautiful, beautiful soul.
It is hard to, like, give props to yourself because it's more about others seeing you for who you are
You know, and I love it when people like, you know
When they see another person they they and they see how beautiful they are they should, you know
give that person props and
I just wanted to give you that poem to show you that I do I do appreciate you for doing this
for having this room to inspire us to aspire to be you know better and thank you oh thank you so
much I'm glad that it resonated um and I hope it's just gonna continue to do so as the weeks progress I've got a lot of plans for
this little community um I posted up top Danger Dev posted his mission um and he hashtagged the
bloom room and tagged me so I posted that up top everybody go and comment and like it and share it
and just encourage him because that's a big deal
for him to say he's going to come out with an album this year.
That's a big deal.
It's a huge undertaking and he needs the support
and he needs the props.
So let's go.
Let's go support Danger Dev.
And everyone else.
Well, I'm glad I started on the third day of the year.
Yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
Let's just say that.
Seriously, though, Mella, this has been a great room.
It's been so inspiring.
And, like, you and AJ, you two are, like, two of the most just, like,
I don't want to say, what's the word?
Not competitive, but, like, not inspiring, just like, I don't want to say, what's the word? Not competitive, but like not inspiring, but just, I don't know.
Like you're, you're two of the people that are just like, just go for it.
Just make it happen.
There's no excuses for not doing it.
Motivators.
Motivators.
Very motivating.

Oh, thank you.
Yeah.
going up together that's how i see it so what happened to danger noodle no what happened to
what happened to danger noodle melody it be it was one time one space i've never forgot about that i hosted a space this is the funniest
thing i hope i tried so hard to forget about that i was there a danger noodle i hosted a space called
danger noodle and i told everybody i was like this is like a pop-up space.
This is a one-time thing.
This is never going to happen again.
If you see the Danger Noodle pop up again, it's because I partook in something and I'm feeling feisty.
But I don't know.
You guys, if you want me to re-host the Danger Noodle space, I can.
This sounds like a paper that comes out once a month.
What is this Danger Noodle?
It could be.
The monthly Danger Noodle?
It started out real simple, and then it just got deep.
It got really deep really quick.
Yeah, it did
So like
From where I sit
This space could be anything
It could be the danger space
It could be this space tonight
It could be the space next week
No it's called danger noodle
And there's a reason she was going to explain it
Let her explain it
Alright sorry I'll shut up
I think it should be This is the thing and she was going to explain it. Let her explain it. All right, sorry. I'll shut up.
I think it should be.
This is the thing.
It's more fun if nobody knows what Danger Noodle means.
It's the mystery.
I had no idea what the Bloom Room meant until you told us.
I've totally forgotten what the fuck Danger Noodle meant.
Was that the space that I'm pretty sure we spent about 15 to 20 minutes reciting lines from uh stepbrothers in that space that that is basically
what happened you created a whole game that's what it was it was a game that's right the board
game or some type of game you created
with Grok, I believe.
Yeah. And then we made a t-shirt.
That was fun.
Yeah.
Good times. Good times.
2025 was lit, guys.
I want one of those t-shirts, Millaby.
Okay. I'll put it on my website.
It exists currently
in my many on, uh,
what is it on your late? No, like I haven't, I haven't put it up on my website, but I can,
it exists. Okay, cool. I want one. Danger Noodle, unite!
Let's go.
That's right.
Secret undercover
Danger Noodle.
Is that a noodle in your noodle?
Form the giant robot
Danger Tron.
Yeah, remember, Vessi, remember
we wrote a story
with AI?
Yes, I do.
Now I do, yes. Oh my god, wait.
Did I, hold on, I probably... No, it was an epic of epic epicness.
If she has it saved, I'm gonna be so
happy.
Did you not
save it? Noodle. Melby?
Okay, yeah. Oh my god.
Hold on a minute. Vessi, please.

You know what? I'll promote your page too,
Vessi.
Hold on. Here it is.
Here it is. Okay.
You know what my
goal for
2026 is?
What is it?
To let everybody else promote me
as much as I promote them.
That a girl.
I love Bessie more than anybody on the planet.
She's the most amazing artist and songwriter you'll ever meet.
Fessy Mink, ladies and gentlemen.
A children's music star is being born this year.
I would say that my children, my children are here.
I started out with one page.
Because I am far older than you And I asked you
Because I might not make it
To a Scott Tavern
You know what I mean
If I could hear a couple of songs
From my favorite author
Alright alright alright
I'm muting everyone
It's gotten out of hand
I don't use the mute button unless it's like
We're just getting a little out of hand
Danger Noodle has pressed the button It It wasn't even me. Danger Noodle grew thumbs and pressed the mute button. Okay,
so here's the thing what we're going to do because we have a hand up. I didn't realize we have a hand
up. So we're going to go to that hand and then Vessi, can you please read? Can you please read
the Danger Noodle story for us?
And then we're going to do some music.
And by then it'll probably be midnight because I always say we're going to end the space soon.
And then it's another two hours every time.
But it's fine.
That's what we do.
That's why I'm hosting it on a Friday.
Okay, let's go to Nelly.

Thank you so much for coming through.
Appreciate you.
I'm going to give you a follow.
I hope that you'll follow back
and come to the rest of the spaces.
This is the Bloom Room.
It's going to be hosted every single week for the rest of the spaces. This is the Bloom Room. It's going to be hosted every
single week for the rest of the year. All of the episodes are planned and they're planned with the
intention of our growth as individuals and we're going to help each other grow and hold each other
accountable with our goals this year. You know, a lot of these spaces, we all talk the talk. This
space is about walking
the walk we want to make sure that we actually do the things that we say we're going to do this year
so um yeah i appreciate you coming through um what else what else oh vessi vessi vessi vessi
are you ready for the danger i am i i am prompting Grok with the date.
I have the space where I read it, where we read it.
And I posted that in the comments.
But I am.
It's not coming up?
It's not coming up in my notes.
But I'm prompting Grok to bring back what was written on 618.25.
Bring back the danger noodle.
Bring him back.
Yeah, Grok is still thinking.
How about this? If you find it,
this is the only way that I'm
going to host another danger noodle space.
I'll have to go back and listen to it.
Please find it, Vazzy. Find it so
hard. Find it so
hard.
Oh my God.
I will host another Danger Noodle space if we find it.
I think we should prompt a new story about how Danger Noodle Gazette gets into Kill Tony's mailbox.
And he finds out about the Bloom Room and his biggest fan, who happens to be a freaking amazing singer-songwriter of Canada.
Vessi, I need you to watch Kill Tony.
It's so cool.
He has a live band on stage that basically plays.
They play live.
He has horn players.
He has a drummer. And it's cool because if someone goes up and does a minute and says,
let's say they get to the interview portion and he says,
so what are your other hobbies?
And they're like, oh, I'm a drummer.
He'll make them do a drum on.
And then if the crowd claps louder for the new guy,
then he takes over and he's the drummer.
Yeah, and he's the drummer.
You look at me.
Dude, I love this guy.
I am the drummer now.
Yeah.
Like, you'll love it.
You'll love it.
It's so good.
And he's got, like, he's got, like, just the most incredible band.
So, and they follow the comedy.
So, if something funny happens, follow the, the, the comedy. So if something funny happens,
they're like playing along. This sounds, this guy sounds like a genius.
Oh, it's beautiful. They just flow with the comedy in the room. It's, it's incredible.
He's rolling with the punches, uh, from Hollywood all the way to heaven. I think that that's amazing.
And that that's how you have a successful, happy life.
And on the side, on the side of the stage, he has a visual artist that's painting,
like he's painting something as the show is happening. And then at the end, he shows it to the crowd and I'm pretty sure it's auctioned off.
That's amazing.
So it's really cool.
What do they do with the money?
The guy, I'm pretty sure the artist gets the money.
Oh, right.
Like, it's auctioned off, yeah.
Yeah, so it's really cool.
Like, he's found a way to just combine all mediums into one show.
Does he make digital assets with those?
Does he do anything with NFTs and stuff?
Anything with blockchain technology?
I don't know.
I don't think so.
I'm not sure.
Have you written him a new theme song, for God's sakes?
Mint that on the blockchain.
I know I should, I should.
Give Tony!
Give Tony!
Yeah, I know. I love it. I love it. I just, I think think that you're gonna love the format of the show so
i i'm excited the thing the thing that got me hooked on kill tony was there was one episode
i forget who the comedians were whatever but like kill tony he was laughing so hard like he was like
red in the face and i've never i've never seen the host of a show like
laughing legitimately so hard at a joke and i was like okay this guy's for real because that was
funny you know what i mean like it's yeah it's also because like everything is so curated these
days like all these shows are planned right they're all scripted they're planned everybody knows what's happening when whereas his show is live and it's
like completely the opposite none of it's scripted really none of it none of
it none of it absolutely none of it the only part that's scripted is his intro
is the same every every episode like his intro is like are you guys ready to have the best fucking night of your life and
then he sits down and he goes yippee yeah it's so funny i'm excited i'm excited and then all hell
breaks loose it's great yeah it's so good because he never knows what he's gonna get
sometimes it's absolute trash sometimes it's amazing sometimes it's like good because he never knows what he's gonna get and sometimes it's absolute trash
sometimes it's amazing sometimes it's like people are just like i've never done comedy in my life
and i just signed up because i'm drunk um yeah it's just crazy like it's absolutely unhinged
it definitely sounds like hollywood yeah it's so funny but better yeah melody i just wanted to tell you something real quick because
you said on the homework you know to send in you know what you wanted to do whatever um i have
three different pages this one that you met me on this one is like my music promotion page and then
i have another uh page or account that's for. And so I was just going to let you know that if you see a different picture, it's me.
I have three different accounts.
I have my personal account as well.
And I'll probably just send the homework over on my personal account.
Okay, cool.
Yeah, you do you.
You do whatever.
Yeah, because I got one page. I used to have one page for everything, but then I started organizing it.
And then I put it to just one page music unity.
That's where I do the promotion on music singers and different stuff.
I put like their videos or stuff about them.
That's where I got Vessi's stuff in my page on my music page and then on my movie page
I promote celebrities and different stuff on that page as well and then I have my one page that's
just personal but you always use of this one picture but I don't have the same picture on
all the pages so no worries you'll just have to look for my name. It's either going to be Felicia, Felicia's Flicks,
might be Flea on the Doge, I'm not for sure.
From this day going forward, I will assume all Felicias are you.
No, not all Felicias are me, but you'll know
because I'll probably text you on the side and say,
hey, that's me.
Yes, I know. Your cheer Yes. I got you, girl.

Say at Meli B and hashtag the Bloom Room.

side hustle it's like a it's like a bit of a it's like a what's it called it's like a an announcement that's what it is it's an announcement
as well sorry my brain is currently going i i'm only given i'm only given so much she's not in

going on tour i'm gonna text this baby come to texas baby i'm here in te in Texas girl I'm gonna play in all the places that my people are
because I'm hosting that was supposed to be a drummer already
I'm hosting a DIY backyard tour so that means that you guys will be able to apply to be hosts if you would like to host me and host a show
in your backyard or in your living room or wherever your heart desires. Um, I have an
application form that I'm going to be sharing, um, like right now. Um, so you just fill out the
application form. I'm going on tour from, let me see here. Let me pull up my form. Um, I think it's from
July till the end of September is when I'm planning all of the dates. Canadian summer.
Let's go. Yeah, exactly. Um, so the form, basically you'll fill it out. This is just
the preliminary form. It does not guarantee that you will actually be chosen as a host because i need to plan things um in a way that makes sense both like financially
and also like i'm i'm planning a route so that way um and geographically yeah geographically
so i'm just gonna go over this really quick so you'll see on the so So not coming to Barcelona yet.
I mean, technically I could.
It's just... That depends how much you got, David.
Yeah, exactly.
It depends.
It depends.
Damn!
If I had money, I would pay for everything.
Concord at everything.
But yeah, so this is intended to be canada in the u.s um from july to september it's going to
be intimate acoustic shows for the most part if i can bring my full band i absolutely will it's
just going to depend on the logistics and the funding and all that kind of stuff um i'm planning
to play in backyards in living rooms in gardens if you have a cool garden in your in your backyard that'd be cool it would really fit
the vibe of the album um this tour is to promote my upcoming album um and i'm really excited i have
never done a tour like this before i've only ever played shows locally and just like one-off shows
in the states here and there but i've never actually toured the States. So yeah, it's just going to ask you questions like, you know, like what's your email address,
your name, your phone number, all that kind of stuff. So that way I have your contact information.
It is completely private. So don't worry, it's not going to be shared outside of,
you know, just me. I need to know. So that way we can, you know, plan the logistics of everything.
It's going to ask you where you're located.
I don't need an exact address at this point, but I just need like a city or a town.
That's totally fine.
So that way I can plan the route.
And it's also going to ask you like what type of space you want to host in.
So you'll have to pick.
You'll have to say, okay, we're going to do this in my backyard.
Or we're going to do this in, you know, my friend's backyard is really big and I've talked to my friend and they're willing to
help out with this or, you know, something like that. Or if you want to do this in your living
room or if you have a pool, we could do a poolside. I want to do like anything like rooftops,
community spaces, anything your heart desires, we can figure it out and make it work. It'll just change the way that the show works. Maybe it's an acoustic show and it's really intimate. Maybe
it's a bigger show with like 100 people. It just depends on where the show is going to be.
I also need to know if you have neighbors that are close by, if there's any noise restrictions,
because that'll also change the structure of the show. Do we need to apply for any permits?
Like, do we need to apply for a noise permit so that way we can actually host the show?
That doesn't mean that you won't be picked as a host.
It just means that we need to be proactive and actually, you know,
apply for those things ahead of time and make sure that we're covering our butts
so nobody gets in trouble.
I also need to know, like, if your ideal location is outside, if you
intend for it to be an outside show, I need to know if there's an alternate location in case of
bad weather, because for me to fly out or drive out and then the show gets canceled and, and you
know, it wouldn't be fun. So we got to know if there's a, an alternate location just in case the
weather's going to be bad. Um, There's going to be a question on here that
might confuse some people because they might not know what a PA system is. So I'm just asking if
there's a place that I can plug in, okay? Because I might need to plug in my system so that way I
can make noise. I just need basically like an outlet so I can plug in my gear. So there's a
question on that. If you don't have access to power,
let's say you want to do like a campfire type thing, and we're going to be in the middle of
a field and there is no power. That does not mean that you're not going to be picked as a host. It
just means I might be bringing a little generator with me. So that way I can, you know, make it
happen. Or we do an acoustic show. Doesn't't matter. Um, yeah, there's just a bunch
of little, like, you know, the little nuances. Wow. That's genius. You're going to be mobile
melody. Yeah. Basically anywhere you guys want me to be, we just got to figure out the logistics
and you know, you fill out the form and you let me know what your, you know, like what your goal
is. Why do you want to do this?
Are you trying to host it so that way your friends and family can come
and you put together a little party for your friends and family?
Or do you want it to be a promoted show where both of us start promoting,
you promote in your local city, and then I promote online?
We just got to figure out what the vision is for the show that you want to host.
And then if it aligns with what I'm capable of making happen, then we've got ourselves a gig.
And I can come and play and perform for you live in person. And I'm very excited.
Wow, that's amazing.
These things are actually called riders, which are the sine qua non things for any professional concert, the things you need to be
in place. Now, of course, during the time of Spinal Tap, it was, oh, all the blue M&Ms must
be taken out of the packets and so on. But yeah, that sounds so reasonable. That's brilliant.
Yeah, thank you. I'm excited because I've mentioned it to a few people here and there,
and it sounds like there's already some people that are interested in hosting.
So that's exciting, and I'm hoping I'll just keep getting more.
Nobody's filled out the form yet because I haven't posted it yet,
but I'm going to post it now.
And if anybody's interested in hosting,
I urge you to fill it out as soon as possible.
Get over here and pick me up.
Yeah, it'll be fun.
It'll be fun.
And then wherever I'm, you know, wherever I'm playing, my goal is also to find opening
acts, right?
So let's say I'm playing in Chicago, then Vessi could come and open and, you know, other
people that I know in Chicago can come and open. And, you know, other people
that I know in Chicago can come and open BP and Joe Ryan and other people that I've met on the
platform. So not only is this going to be like a Mela B tour, but I can almost guarantee you that
you're going to see other people from this platform that you've seen in spaces, because my
intention is to try and get as many people involved as possible.
And you'll have to land in Muskegon, Michigan for the Sheba
Sequoia Festival.
That's going to have to happen. And I have a PA.
I've got a big ass backyard. I'm excited
about what's about to happen.
And I found the story. Grot gave it to me
the Danger Noodle story. I have the original.
I even asked him twice. I said, are you sure
that this is the original? He said yes.
So when you're ready.
Oh, my God.
Okay, that's exciting.
I'm really excited for that.
Oh, no, me too.
Okay, so let me just do this really quick.
I'm going to post the form.
And I need everybody to know if it's working properly.
So I'm just going to go here.
This is happening live.
Do, do, do, do, do.
So here we go.
Actually, while I'm doing this, Siri, I'm not talking to you.
Go away.
Go away, Siri.
Siri, she's talking to me, Vessi, not you, Siri.
Yes.
So it's because i'm canadian every
time i say sorry or sorry sorry every time i say that word siri thinks i'm talking to them
siri stop no i'm not talking to you go away actually there was one time i told him i got
really mad and i was like stop it like i yelled at him in the car and he was like, that's not very nice.
It was like, wait, what?
So freaky.
It just listens to everything we say, right?
Oh, God, help me.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
And it sends us frequencies before you know you're like in Target shopping your life away. Oh, God. In the mall. You know what I mean? Yeah. And it sends us frequencies before you know you're like in Target shopping your life away.
Oh, God.
In the mall.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Okay, so while I'm doing this, getting this post ready, I'll be listening.
Vessi, let's hear it.
Here we go.
Now, hopefully Grok didn't lie to me, and this is what was prompted, but Grok said on the 18th of June, this is the story.
Grok said on the 18th of June, this is the story.
Once upon a time in the sun-baked canyons of the Wild West,
there lived a sly and slippery serpent known far and wide as Danger Noodle.
He wasn't your average garden snake.
No, Danger Noodle was a rattlesnake with a flair for the dramatic,
sporting a cowboy hat made from shed scorpion shells
and a bandana tied around his neck that fluttered like a flag in the desert wind.
Danger Noodle's reputation preceded him. The prairie dogs whispered tales of his
lightning-fast strikes and the coyotes steered clear of his territory,
knowing one wrong move could end in a venomous showdown. But deep down, Danger Noodle wasn't
all bite. He had a soft spot for adventure and a secret dream to become the greatest
outlaw storyteller the desert had ever seen. One scorching afternoon, as the sun hung high like a
badge on a sheriff's chest, Danger Noodle slithered into the dusty town of Tumbleweed Gulch.
The saloon doors creaked as he entered, while more like slithered under them, and the patrons, a mix of
jackrabbits, armadillos, and a wise old tortoise, fell silent. Listen up, y'all, he hissed, rattling
his tail for effect. I've got a yarn that'll curl your whiskers. He spun a tale of the great
cactus heist, where he and his sidekick, a sneaky gecko named Slick, stole the juiciest prickly pear from under the beak of the meanest vulture in the skies.
The crowd leaned in, eyes wide, as Danger Noodle described, dodging tumbleweeds like bullets and outsmarting a posse of roadrunners.
And just when that buzzard swooped down, he paused dramatically, I rattled so loud like the whole canyon shook.
By the end, the saloon erupted in cheers.
The jackrabbits brought him drinks of cactus water,
and even the tortoise cracked a slow smile.
From that day on, Danger Noodle tracked his outlaw ways for,
excuse me, from that day on, Danger Noodle traded his outlaw ways for the spotlight,
traveling from town to town,
sharing stories that blended truth with a twist of his
tale. But remember, folks,
if you ever crossed paths with Danger Noodle
in the desert or on the
Meliby tour this summer, tip
your hat and listen close. He might
just spin you into his next legend.
Bloom room, anybody?
Or remind you why they call him
Danger! And they all lived
hissily ever after.
I don't know if that's the story, but it was pretty good anyway.
Yes, that's it. Was that it?
That was it.
Yes, that's it.
We came up with that in that space.
I love that.
Danger being a troublemaker.
No way.
Yes, she made a whole video game
out of it.
So good.
Hi, Rachel.
Hi, Rachel.
Happy New Year.
Happy New Year, guys.
I see that danger.
I know.
I'm not a fairy.
I'm a raccoon.
I had to correct that, Beth.
You're going to be on... Oh, Mel, I didn't tell you.
The big news is that my children's channel is going to parlay into some sort of kids' TV show
that's going to invite all my interesting, amazingly talented musical friends
to become characters to their heart's content,
to bring joy to all these
amazing children being born that really need strong role models and education in the highest
degree of that thought.
Yeah, let's go.
Yeah.
And Rachel's going to be the singing raccoon.
And she's going to wear a costume.
And she's going to come up on the stage, like on Music Train.
And I'm going to be like Mr. Rogers.
But I'm not Mr. Rogers.
I'm Vessie and the little ones.
So the little ones are all my, yeah.
Yo, hold on, though.
Mr. Rogers had some cocaine in that briefcase, girl.
Don't you dare talk about Mr. Rogers.
That's not true. He wore his grandmother's sweaters that briefcase, girl. Don't you dare talk about Mr. Rogers. That's not true.
He wore his grandmother's sweaters that she made for him.
Now, come on.
That's not weird at all.
I love Mr. Rogers.
I love Mr. Rogers because he was a Marine.
Rachel, did you hear that Melody is about to post a form for people who would like to be thrown into a hat with their name to host her summer concert.
Whether it's in a backyard, whether it's in an amazing neighbor's yard, whether it's in a small cafe.
Oh my God, please pick my house.
Wherever it is, she says that she's about to post this form and that, you know.
I will freaking die like i
will literally you'll be i might not even make it florida i might not even make it to the concert
because i'm gonna freaking pass out you have to be there because it's your house
yeah you totally have to know those when the when the host passes out those are the best
okay what do we have to what do we have to do to make this happen okay okay okay okay okay so i'm going on tour from it'll be this in the summer so july to end
of september is what i'm aiming for so all of the dates right now are currently open because i'm
literally opening up the host application form as we speak.
I just posted it so you can apply to be a host.
It's the most recent post on my profile, but I'm posting it up at the top right now.
But basically you're going to fill out this form.
It's not like I'm like Vessie was saying I'm putting it into a hat.
I'm not doing a hat thing. It's going to like I I'm going to read over the application forms and essentially if it's
a fit if it makes sense if we can fit it into the root um then yeah we'll host a show at your in
your space it can be a backyard it can be a living room it can be you know if you got a fire pit and
we want to sit around the campfire it could be literally anything because the beauty of me doing this myself independently is that
I'm my own boss and I can go wherever I want.
So yeah, I'm really excited because it's basically like a DIY backyard tour.
And yes, so you can be a host, Rachel.
yes so you can be a host Rachel it's a great idea wait Mella do you not remember when I sent you the
It's a great idea.
post from I forget which 90s band it was but they did the exact same thing thank you yes thank you
yeah so the all-american rejects did this um and they did it because they were like you know what
it's fun to play these big venues but we miss being a band that's just playing shows in our friends' backyards. So they hosted DIY backyard
tours where they'd go around to different cities. Anybody could apply to be a host.
And they'd go around to different cities and play in people's backyards and they'd get local
artists to open up for them. And my friend BP, his band Rocky Point Holiday actually opened up for the All-American Rejects in a backyard in
Chicago. So when I saw that and yes I got your message about like I just started to piece it
together and I was like man this makes so much more sense than me basically just relying on if
these venues want to host me because they're like oh my god how many Instagram followers do you have
and how many tickets can you sell and all that kind of stuff. No I want to just me because they're like, Oh my God, how many Instagram followers do you have? And how many tickets can you sell? And all that kind of stuff. No, I want to just do this myself.
And I know I have like such a cool community of people on here that I think we can do it. I think
that I can host. No, I'm not saying I think I know I can host a really cool DIY backyard tour. So
that's what I'm doing. And I got to tell tell you and people don't understand like i got i got
reptile a whole bunch of interviews that nobody even fucking knows about like i am a i pull strings
people jesus fucking christ so i wanted to say mella i think that is the most original beautiful
adorable because first of all you're so down to earth, and how better, like, what better
way to start it than in people's homes, which is, like, their, their, you know, the place where they,
you know, I guess it's, like, the most intimate place where someone can share with you, you know?
I think it's just beautiful i love this
idea so much you have no idea it's super awesome that's why i was like mobile bellaby how many
times you're gonna say idea rachel mobile are you the police are you the space police
i'm the idea i'm in the mood for retardation tonight, just saying. Oh my gosh.
Well, thanks, Rachel.
I think so too.
I think it's like so me to do something like this
because I don't know.
The glitz and the glam is all fun.
You know, like playing on big stages is fun.
I've played on some pretty big stages in front of decent crowds
and I still want to do that.
Don't get me wrong I might
sprinkle some of that into this tour um if if the shoe fits and if it works out but I prefer and I
really love the intimate shows I've played some intimate shows where it's just like me and my
guitar me and Dakota both on our guitars just playing as a duo, like an acoustic kind of almost like tiny
desk concert vibes, right? Where it's just super intimate, super raw, not as much of a spectacle,
as much as it is just like a, like an intimate setting. And it's just so nice because I think
that's how we connect as human beings, right's how we we're gonna start to crave that a
whole lot more especially with you know how digital everything is and all the ai music floating around
and stuff we're all gonna start craving these intimate human connections more i'm already
craving them i don't know about you guys but i'm already there so in my mind this is like the perfect way and it fits the album so well um so yeah i'm really
excited i just posted the application form it's up in the up in the nest up top um so you'll just
click that please let me know if there's any issues with the form if you notice any problems
with it or anything um because i i this is my first time posting it, and I really, really want to make sure that nothing goes wrong.
So, yeah, if anybody goes on and sees any, like,
even if it's a typo or something, just let me know.
I want to make sure it's perfect.
But, yeah, I'm so excited, and I do hope you expect Rachel.
Mella, for about $250, I can get this out to about 750,000 people
Pretty easily
Let's do it
Let's just talk in the background then
Should I message you on this account?
Oh no
Go Seattle
I don't pay attention to these other fucking dumb accounts
I gotta deal with
Imagine you go to like somebody's backyard
It's like a white nationalist party
and they're just like going on about the Jews
the whole time. Hey, fuck you, AJ.
Why the fuck would you say that?
Seattle, calm down.
So, okay, but
that joke is annoying as fuck, let me tell you.
We have to be able to laugh at jokes.
Okay, fucking put your fucking
fingers in your ears. So, Mella,
how about people that have pools and stuff like that?
Yes, it's actually on the form.
It says, like, it asks you what kind of setting you have in mind.
So, like, one of the options is poolside.
The other option is, like, so it's backyard, living room,
poolside, rooftop, community space. It could literally be anywhere. The only thing is if
it's poolside or it depends on where in the world you live, but we need to know if there's like an
alternative option. Like, can we move indoors or can we put up a tent or something if there's bad
weather? But that's all stuff that we can work out logistically that's totally doable so meliby if uh if i did a community space like
we have a a thing that happens every month like called first mondays and uh it it's not very much
to hold up a booth it's like 15 like 1515 or $30 for the weekend. Would something like that be fine?
There'll be a lot of people just going to different venues and buying things. Would that be fine?
Yeah, totally. If you fill it out and tell me all the information you can give me,
I think there's areas where you can type out what you have in mind.
Like, why do you want to host a show?
You can just type out your answer and stuff.
So if you give me all the details and let me know the actual vision, then I'm just going to go through all the applications and see what makes sense.
But yeah, that sounds fun.
All right.
Thank you. Yeah. Oh, wow. It feels good.
I've been holding this in for so long. This form has lived in my computer for such a long time.
But yeah, I'm excited. And I'm happy that you guys are, I don't know, it sounds like everybody thinks it's a cool idea,
so I'm happy about that.
It's a beautiful, beautiful idea, a networking idea,
bring people together idea,
get people to meet each other in person idea.
I love it.
I can't wait to meet you.
I know you're going to be in Chicago somewhere,
whether it's here or at Joe's or at Cool Place,
at the Blue Island.
I mean, are you saying no to venues or,
or are venues?
I'm going to sprinkle in some venues.
Like,
you know,
any opportunity is an opportunity that I'll consider.
Absolutely.
Sweet.
All right.
Hey,

Wait, Melody, can you make another co-host so we could, uh, just, we need another
space. Mellaby, I just wanted to remind you, don't forget to put the danger noodle t-shirt up in your
tree link on your, uh, you know, your, that's hilarious in your, on your page. So I can,
so I will, I'm going to do that tonight. I'm going to do it literally right now.
It's just going to be so funny because all my merch is like
Melody merch and then it's just gonna be a random
T-shirt that says danger noodle
I don't care
I want that so bad
I just I don't know
I thought it was really cool that you made a whole game
Out of that
I cannot believe that you even
Danger noodle
He does
Ribbed for her pleasure
It's never
I'm sorry
You just took me back to bowling alley
When I was like 15 there and wondering
What the hell that meant
I'm like hold on a second
Right I'm getting, hold on a second.
I'm getting ready for Sweet Cheeks because my birthday is coming
up in February. And you know, the
first time you ever sang me
a song was of a birthday.
These people love you, Mella.
When is your birthday?
What day?
February the 18th.
Why do you sound sad about that no because I thought
we already went through this February yeah I want to know why you sound sad Aquarius oh yeah oh girl
listen AJ's an Aquarius Anderson is an Aquarius there's nothing wrong with Aquarius. I'm the cheerleader Aquarius.
I'm an Aquarius too.
I'm the promoter.
Wait a minute.
Was that Bessie?
No, I'm Aquarius too.
Oh, Sonate. Okay, you're...
Wait, is this full space?
How many Aquarius?
Everybody's an Aquarius?
Except for me and Rachel?
Got a bunch of airbenders. Shut the fuck up, Seattle.
Got a bunch of airbenders in here.
Me and Mella are literally the best sign ever.
AJ gets so mad when we say that.
What are you?
I'd rather go by the Chinese Zodiac.
Seattle, that was a delayed reaction from earlier, man.
I'm sorry.
All I can say is
we need a little bit more Scorpio
in this space. There you go.
I'm Wood.
I'm Wood.
I knew that would
be that way.
I'm Wood. Bessie, what's your sign?
I'm a Gemini. June 10th.
Aw, the little Gemini.
That's me.
I'm a dog. I'm a damn dog.
I'm a rabbit.
It comes to the Chinese.
You're a rabbit or a cat?
I'm a rabbit.
Anderson is a rabbit cat too.
In a former life, I was a Cambodian chicken.
I'm not sure what that means, but it sounds good.
Yeah, in the Chinese horoscope, I'm a pig.
Rachel, tell me more.
Tell me more about how we're the best.
Can it get worse?
Yes, Mella, that would be probably why you're a singer.
And I bet you that whenever you get sick, it's always affecting your throat or your voice.
So you can't sing.
It's always something.
No, it's quite amazing, actually.
I've never really had throat problems.
And I sang in public for 30 years.
And I taught when I wasn't seeing it when i wasn't seeing i was teaching
and quite often i was teaching for something like five five hours a day and then doing concerts at
night never had a problem i used to get a little bit hoarse at the beginning Of a concert but you sing Through it it's like you know
Vince Lombard play through
The pain can I ask if you're singing
Through the pain in Hogwarts yeah
I mean
You will I love
Harry Potter and all that I would
Obviously
Were you
Slytherin?
Never ever.
What were you?
Scorpio should be Slytherin,
but, you know,
no, I would be a Gryffindor
because I'm basically very noble.
I am Gryffindor
all the way.
Sounds like a Victoria's Secret. Believe it or not, Gryffindor all the way Sounds like a Victoria's Secret
Gryffindors
Don't excel
For their brains apart from Hermione
But they are brave
And I've been through a few difficult situations
Wait wait
Gryffindor
You could have the Victoria's Secret
Line of Harry Potter underwear Instead of Hermione up her hiney.
Hermione is my favorite in the history of ever.
She was the cutest ever.
Oh, Hermione's great.
Hermione should actually be in Ravenclaw for her brains.
But because she has
You know
Inside her little thingy
She has a great pair of balls
And you think about it
No, you think about it
The bravest person in the Harry Potter story
Okay
Everybody is brave at certain moments
Okay
Harry Potter is very
It's not Leviosa
It's Leviosa That might be the first time I've heard somebody roast Harry Potter is very, very... It's not Leviosa. It's Leviosa.
That might be the first time I've heard somebody
roast Harry Potter in The Kings, actually.
That's pretty amazing.
Wow.
I know the Harry Potter books very well
and the films very well as well.
So, you know, I mean, come on, come on.
Take me on on this. I know that quote
as well. It's not Leviosa. It's Leviosa.
Leviosa. Guys's Liviosa. Liviosa.
Guys, oh my god,
already two people have applied
to be a host. Oh my god,
I want to apply. Stop it.
Go apply. It's so easy.
Stop applying. Do it.
I just want to say I apply.
I apply.
And it's a newsletter. Can I just say this to you really quick?
Because if not, I'm going to go crazy.
Let's go.
The reason why it affects your throat is because Taurus rules the neck area.
And so it's always going to affect like the vocal cords, the throat, the neck, all that kind of stuff.
So when I get sick, oh man, I get, nevermind. Anyways. Yeah.
It's like, uh, it's what happens. It is what it is. Yeah. Yeah. It's common for me to get like,
yeah, if I get sick, it, it always affects my throat sinuses, like anything like that.
I think the sinus thing is cause I broke my nose up really bad and had surgery when I was a kid but yeah that one was not fun um but I think that's really interesting
because what are the odds that we would both be you know singers like we both sing and we're both
Tauruses so that's interesting I think that's so cool what What happens to the Aquarius?
That's what I want to know.
I'm an Aquarius, too.
We just listened to the singers.
What happens to us?
They lost me, but a good question.
What about Aquarius?
What are you asking?
I think she wants to know what area of the body is there.
What a stash. We work hard, so we have a tendency to break a leg. You asking I think she wants to know what what what area of the body
We work hard to have a tendency to break a leg it's the loins isn't it
Okay, so I can't with you guys all right so aquarius usually it's like their calves ankles um it is the circular circular system things like that um i know a certain someone that broke his
leg and uh you know it it's like usually if something's
going to happen, it's going to affect
that region.
Knees.
Don't laugh at my accent.
Found another one.
It's the G.
I have a problem with the G, okay?
I did break my foot one time.
It's like playing verbal Pokemon Go.
I'm like an idiot.
I'm just going to. Oh, Lordy.
I'm just going to go on tour with you,
Melody. I have a question.
This is a serious, honest question here. You could be a backup dancer.
Have you ever heard someone say that...
Not if my loins
are messing with me. Well, have you ever
heard someone say that a child is the
fruit of someone's loin?
I have, yeah.
What is a loin?
You guys don't know what the loins are?
What does that exactly mean?
Hold on, I'm going to ask what the loin is.
You've all had good sex.
We could still loin.
Still loin.
You're from Stumbledore for the win.
That's great.
Vessi, ask Grock what a loin is.
I'm asking right now one second so hold on
um all right so everyone get your notepads out i don't know so it says it says the fruit
the fruit of someone's loins is an old expression that simply means their children or descendants
it sounds strange now but it's actually very ancient language.
Where it comes from?
The phrase comes from the Bible, specifically early English translations like the King James version.
So for example, it says God promised David that the fruit of his loins would sit on the throne.
Here, loins refers to the lower body slash reproductive region and the fruit means the
result or the outcome so like the fruit of a tree and it says the phrase literally means the children
that come from your body and loins is just your reproductive organs and that was the joke i was
trying to make earlier why were they oh i ain't got nothing to worry about then because i had a
hysterectomy it's all why is that saying about why are they saying about that with foot? Oh, I ain't got nothing to worry about then because I had a hysterectomy.
Why are they saying about that with foot, though?
Why are they saying loins is feet and ankles and stuff?
I'm confused, man.
Someone conceived by a foot job or something
and that's how this happens?
Maybe.
Stop sticking your foot
up people's loins.
You see the thing. of your loins. Stop sticking your foot up people's loins, people.
You see, the thing is,
the same words as were just quoted.
Now, my children, or
fruits of my loins.
Are we on the same page?
God, I love his voice.
I mean, are we in Harry Potter's right now?
Is the little house?
Yeah, he's got love his voice. I mean, are we in Harry Potter's right now? Is the little house? Yeah, he's got a good voice.
Can you tell me what group would I belong to, please?
The Witches of Hogwarts.
Something like that.
Witches of Hogwarts
Witches of Hogwarts.
No, surely
It's not my job to tell you that
Oh no, I don't need to ask
I know I'm a Gryffindor
No, no, it's just that I don't
If you're asking me, I'm not sure I understand the question
Mello, what are you?
I don't know, Rachel
AJ, you're Slytherin You are Slytherin all day long Mello, what are you? I don't know, Rachel. You'd be good on one of those rooms.
AJ, you're Slytherin.
You are Slytherin all day long.
Sorry, to which house?
You have to say not group, to which house you belong to.
Because at that school, Hogwarts was divided into houses.
Would you believe I went to a comprehensive
school, which is like a state school?
I'm so confused.
Don't worry, I'll explain it to you.
But it will take about three hours, so...
Oh, no.
Is that because he's a woman?
What are we saying here, man?
We're getting into dangerous territory, buddy.
The host is female.
Yeah, exactly. Come on, somebody take it over from you. Apparently, man we're getting a dangerous territory buddy the host is female yeah exactly come on somebody
take it over from you apparently the danger noodle facade it's all a part of the danger
noodle it's the danger noodle apparently ravenclaw um is my foundation um chapter two meliby that's
good it says i'm curious about how things work and I'm pattern seeking and big picture thinking.
And I have a constant need to understand the why behind everything.
So that's why I'm Ravenclaw.
I love that.
I love that.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Yeah.
What a pretty sexy Ravenclaw, I'd say that.
Who's mocking Rachel?
Who is that? I think, I'll tell you that Who's mocking Rachel? Who is that?
I think
I don't know if he's mocking
She's mocking you
I don't know what's happening
I don't know
Yeah, we lost control of space a while ago
Because Mel is not singing yet
Oh, I can sing
Sorry, I'm just
I just want to say hi to Money Penny
Happy New Year, Money Penny.
You were great in 2025
putting out information. Keep it up, girl.
And that's it.
And Olive, what's up, Olive? Please tell us
how New Year's was. Give us a brief
breakdown. Did you let
loose? You let your hair down?
I let my hair down way
too much and I'm just
starting... Hooray!
I just got a phone call
I'm just starting to feel
like myself again
and I only had three beers
and five shots you guys
and that was just like
He says only
He says only
We had the best
It was like the funnest face ever
But I'm like it's the fireball
They kicked in my butt
You know so
I don't even want to listen to that
She was like no
Santino's the best
Santino's the best
No I will not stand for this You guys were beating up on Santino's the best. No, I will not stand for this.
You guys were beating up on Santino?
No, she was trying to give him props.
It was like a half hour straight.
But it didn't happen.
It was like a half hour straight.
He was just trying to say he's a great space host and things like that.
Somebody was in the space and they kept on talking about something else and derailing her.
She kept going back to the beginning.
It was absolutely hilarious.
I blame the fireball.
And in the end, Santino wasn't even able to talk
because she kept going and going.
But he's the best.
And he's the hostess with the mostest.
It was so much fun.
It was just the best ever.
It was like the best, most frustrating space of 2026.
2025, to be exact.
Mm-hmm.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry if I babbied you.
I know.
We can't hear you, Olive.
You sound like you're underwater.
Yeah.
Olive, can you hear you, Olive. You sound like you're underwater. Yeah. Olive, can you hear us?
Guys, there's three admissions.
There's three possible hosts already, and I just put up the form.
This is crazy.
I'm so excited.
You really need to come.
Oh, no.
I wanted to tell you guys.
I'm opening up for you in Chicago.
If you come here, I'm opening up for you, Mella.
Okay.
Let's go.
And Joe Ryan.
I'm sure he is totally on board.
You guys better inform me.
You gotta come to Muskegon, Michigan for the Shiva Sequoia Festival.
Yeah.
That's in September.
Yeah, is it?
Maybe you could end it there.
Yeah, I might be able to.
Is it the end of September?
I believe. I think they want to do it yeah the 19th i think i think 18th or 19th vessi are you
being the lorax and you're speaking for the trees is that what's happening right now i love that
movie i know right i just found out something guys? Honestly, I've been to some of those sheepish places
and they're great. There's a lot of good people in there.
There really is.
What'd you find out, Rachel?
I asked Grog
what house I am
and guess what it says?
Oh, no.
Slytherin. No.
It says, based on how
you are, thoughtful, thoughtful, emotional, intelligent, steady under pressure, deep, loyal and trying to do the right thing.
Even when it hurts, you'd be Hufflepuff with a strong Ravenclaw. I will say with those qualities Hold on Holy shit
Hold on
With a strong Ravenclaw streak
Why Hufflepuff fits you best
Hufflepuffs are loyal to the core
Emotionally brave
They stay when things get hard
Fair-minded, compassionate, grounded in values
Not ego
Willing to work through pain rather than abandon
the connection, lead with empathy, try to understand why people act the way they do,
hold space without losing your moral center, value sincerity over drama.
I don't know about that drama part. You fuck with me, I'll probably have some drama but um yeah i'm a freaking hufflepuff
with a strong ravencraw ravenclaw streak oh my god mine was the opposite mine was
ravenclaw with a strong hufflepuff streak well i guess it has to do i guess it has to do with Torian Bessie you're definitely Hufflepuff
for sure
1000%
I would have to say
with your bravery to speak up online
I would say
if I were the sorting hat
in that kind of very English voice
I would say Gryffindor
I love Gryffindor
but I guess that's not me that's me I'm a Gryffindor! I love Gryffindor, but I guess that's not me.
That's me. I'm a Gryffindor.
Can you say that one more time like that again? God, I love it.
Ten points from Gryffindor.
Well, I would say that both Melody and my good friend Rachel for many, many months now,
My good friend Rachel for many, many months now.
They both have gorgeous voices.
They are both wonderful women.
And wherever they want to go, I would put them in Gryffindor.
Gryffindor!
Because they are heroes.
And the only real house for the heroes is Gryffindor.
And the fact that he said it with an
authentic accent just
capitalizes everything.
Thank you, David.
In Ravenclaw, but
I'd be a Gryffindor because
I lived through the pain.
The bride of Gryffindor.
What?
How daring is this?
I'd be proud
to go wrong to Ravenclaw
or Hufflepuff, to be honest.
And there were certain
things about Slytherin that
attract me being a Scorpio,
but, you know,
that Scorpio is like
Made for the fuckers in this world
The people who get very very rich
Very very early and live off it
I got 20 bucks that this motherfucker
Lives in a shoe
What the hell?
What kind of shoe would that be?
There was an old lady.
Probably a high-heeled boot there, boy.
Nah, you're joking, mate.
He had so many shoes, he didn't know what to do.
I got something like...
Oh, David's a jackbooted thug,
didn't you know?
I got feet as big as a basketball player.
You know, I've got huge feet and huge hands.
Imagine that.
Oh, my God.
That's ridiculous.
I'm going to play a song now.
On your forms.
Melody, on your forms, what areas did you get?
So far, Canada.
There was one that was like, I can't remember which area of Canada it said.
There was one in Canada, and then there was one in Texas,
and then there's one in, I think it was Illinois.
They're all very optimistic. in, I think it was Illinois. Okay, now, whoever's the one
in Texas,
I can,
we can do, like, a
merge. Yeah, let's do a merge.
Do a merge,
because I'm in Texas too, baby.
Okay, I'm going to play a song.
I feel like the room needs a bit of a reset here.
Yes, please. And we're going to see how this goes. I haven't really sang a song. I feel like the room needs a bit of a reset here. Yes, please.
And we're gonna see how this goes. I haven't really sang much today. I've been...
Busy, busy bee.
It's not always peaches, rainbows, and butterflies
Sometimes it's leeches, black holes, and sleepless nights
Not every rain cloud has a silver line
Dark times, they linger much longer than we'd like
Dark times, they linger much longer than we'd like But I'm supposed to be the optimist
Save my tears, level my head a bit
Supposed to be the optimist
Save my tears, stiffen my upper lip
But I feel so heavy I feel so weak
I'm supposed to be
I'm supposed to be the optimist
I think there's power in letting our demons in
Treat them as good friends in need, let them sit a bit Maybe the monster is just our inner kid
These dark times have lingered much longer than we'd like
Dark times, they linger much longer than we'd like
But I'm supposed to be the optimist
Save my tears, level my head a bit
Supposed to be the optimist
Save my tears, stiffen my upper neck
But I feel so heavy I feel so weak I'm supposed to be
I'm supposed to be the optimist
I'm supposed to be the optimist
shave my tears, level my head a bit
Supposed to be the optimist, save my tears, stiffen my upper lip
I feel so heavy, I feel so weak I'm supposed to be
I'm supposed to be the optimist
I'm supposed to be the optimist
Oh my god girl that voice
When you do that little part where the music goes off
That beautiful little voice
Holy shit, man.
Superb.
One of my favorite songs, Mella B.
That was amazing.
I love your dynamics as well.
Who was singing?
That was me, Mella B, the host.
Is that what she asked?
The host of the space.
I can't.
I can't.
Hello.
Hi, Seattle. Hello. Hi, all of us.
No, I was saying that to Seattle because, you know, like, I don't know.
I get, like, hello.
Get with the program.
Exactly.
Yeah, that was The Optimist.
It's an original song.
At what point are you going to get my sarcasm?
It's that you yell in our ears, so it's kind of
hard to read sarcasm
or air.
I'm supposed to yell in our ears.
Are you angry?
Are you grumpy? Are you
sarcastic? Are you being funny?
The only reason I didn't get it was because I couldn't
see who was speaking. Did you really
not grow up? No, Rachel, in all
honesty, did you really not grow up around sarcastic people
Like we just make the blatant
Obvious joke
The dumbest that we say the dumbest thing
Possible
No I know but
Supposed to be taken in the opposite
Direction
Sarcastic people don't yell in your eardrum
They usually just make
Little sarcastic jokes.
Rachel, let me tell you a little
something. So when Dave Chappelle
just calm down.
When Dave Chappelle came back from Africa
do you want to know what he did
first?
That would have been...
I was waiting.
That's a big mistake. Yeah, we were like, go on. I was waiting for you That's a big mistake
Yeah, we were like, go on
I was like, oh boy
I'm like, what happened?
He came to Seattle
He came to Seattle
Okay, he came to Seattle and he started busking
In the streets
Do you know what a busker is?
Okay, it's a street performer
They just lay down their hat
And they start doing whatever act
That they do
Whether it's blowing snot bubbles
Or doing street comedy
It's all the same
But especially music
It's not really all the same
Yes, David
Good call, David
See, David knows
South
I was a busker
I was a busker in Portland
For two or three years
I'm still a busker
James you're awake

And then, I hope you know you're up next, Danger.
You guys really didn't know that Chappelle,
after he got back from Africa,
he came straight to Seattle?
Yeah, I remember he got CNN to Africa
because they wanted to take him out or whatever.
No, remember he did that
Oprah interview, bro.
He did that Oprah interview
and after he quit
I know he took off because
something's going on with him where they wanted to take his show
or something like that. They were trying to say he was crazy.
No, they straight up
took it. I think they offered him
money and then he had said no, I'm not going to
take it because they wanted him to
change his ways or something.
Yes, they were trying
to censure his show.
He just took off and he started feeling
I absolutely know this whole story.
I don't need input.
Thanks, guys.
My patience is running
really thin right now.
Just go, James.

And every king that has ever been, has gotten his kingdom from starting with sin.
And every family with a painless thing, has gotten their money by doing the same.
From the Rockefellers to the Kennedys, all the way down you and me.

Absolutely. Yes.
Hey, James,
I have a question for you.
What's your mission for this year?
If you had to come up with a mission statement,
that's what we're doing here in the Bloom Room.
We're trying to come up with mission statements for the year and we're going to hold each other accountable
and we're going to walk the walk.
We're not going to just talk the talk.
So what would be your mission for this year?
Well, I've got, finally, I've got like five decent songs.
So I want five more and finish up like an album.
So that's what I want to do is get the rest of an album written.
And I'm on a roll.
I've written like four songs in the last month or two.
You've only heard two.
I think maybe some of you have heard another one that I did.
But there's a couple more.
I'm some of you.
Did you?
No, you didn't hear it.
I don't think anybody here heard the one.
In X Got Talent.
Yeah, that's a different one.
Yeah.
And he's just angling got i've got more cards
still how dare you james that's really exciting yeah i've been so jealous of you and one g having
like all this like this catalog of music and i've got like two songs you know and it's like
and they were kind of so so you know so i had to get busy you know
he was like and they were so so so did you guys hear that that's there were three so's
um that's awesome i'm glad to hear that and i'm what i'm doing is i'm trying to encourage people
to adopt the i'm going to language rather than the I want to or I'm hoping to or something like
that. So that's kind of what the bloom room is all about. We're trying to like change the trajectory
of the year by, you know, picking our mission, saying this is what I'm going to do this year,
speaking definitively, and making things happen. So I'm going to, next time I see you,
you bet your bottom dollar,
I'm going to be like, hey, how are those songs coming along?
I'm going to be asking you.
Well, I appreciate that.
And congrats on the year you had last year.
You had a great year.
Congratulations, man.
That was awesome.
Thanks.
I saw a lot of that happening.
I haven't been around X much,
but I drop in and see what people are doing.
So I've been keeping abreast of where you've been doing and stuff.
Thanks, man.
Yeah, it's been fun.
It was a busy, busy year.
This year is going to be even busier, but it's up only.
Up only for sure.
Cool. So I don't know let's uh keep some music going and then i'm gonna ask
other people actually let's ask rachel rachel what's your mission statement for the year
i had uh this awakening moment in destiny space the other day
um she literally changed my life and i know that I am a mush bucket,
but I'm serious when I say that. I really do want to help people. I feel like I was given a second
chance at life. And I want to help people. I want to help people like her. I want to help people that have gone through the worst that life could serve you. And just, you know,
I don't know. I want to bring like some kind of light to people. So many people on this app have
been there for me when I've been at my lowest. And just one word, man man one little phrase one little paragraph can totally change your day
and um I really want to get back to that that's what my mission is I you know I'm not saying I'm
not going to talk about politics and things like that here and there but I I really I want to help
humans I think that um we've been through so much since 2020 and I think it's time to
like start standing up for each other and just being there for each other, you know,
that's what I really want. I love that. That's so you. So you, it's so Rachel.
I love that though. Um, so you just have this epiphany. Have you like conceptualized what
that's going to look like? Do you have like a vision in your head of what it's going to look
like for you to do and achieve that? You know, okay, so I didn't want to go deep into the whole
thing. But so when I had cancer, I was looking online for like some kind of, you know, did people how did people survive this?
And, you know, did they come out OK?
And I was just looking for hope, you know.
And and what I really found was people just bitching about what they were going through, which I know that sounds terrible.
that sounds terrible. But when I tell you, only five people knew I had cancer when I had cancer,
But when I tell you, only five people knew I had cancer when I had cancer.
like I didn't want to ruin people's day because I know that, you know, of course, they love me,
they want to be there for me. And a lot of them were very mad at me for not saying it. But
I think that when somebody is at that point, they don't want to go online and hear like,
oh, well, I had the worst time during my thing. And, you know, no, they want to hear the end result.
And the end result was I was OK.
And I ended up, you know, having like many things amazing that happened in my life afterwards.
You know, and I think that that's what I want to look at.
I don't want to look at the dark while you're going through it.
I want to like show people that, yes while you're going through it. I want to like show
people that, yes, you're going through this right now, but oh my God, wait till you see what tomorrow
brings, you know, that kind of thing. And so, um, listen, I'm working on that myself. So I'm going
to be learning along with, you know, the people, but, um, but I, I I don't know I just want to do that I want to give back to the
people that have been there for me too you know so I don't know what it looks like but in my head
I know what I want to do that kind of thing you know I just have to put it into motion
yeah that's beautiful that's exactly so I know you missed like the beginning portion of the space. And that's, I'm trying to bring it back to that for a second. Because I, so like, like I said before, we're picking our mission statements today, we're setting the tone for 2026. And it seems like, you know, we all have these goals at the beginning of the year. And oftentimes, we, I don't think it's the lack of want that stops us from achieving those goals.
We all want to achieve our goals.
But I think it's actually just like the lack of systems and structures and planning and actually like putting our hopes and dreams into action.
So I thought, you know, like a lot of times we get into these spaces, we talk and talk and talk, right?
But, and we often talk about the things that we're trying to achieve or we want to achieve.
But I was thinking, you know, wouldn't it be cool if we could come together as a community and actually like put these things into motion together and hold each other accountable together?
Because it's really hard to make changes in your life when it's just you on your own.
Sometimes you might need to bounce ideas off people.
Sometimes you might, you know, need support.
You know, like what you're talking about right now,
it sounded like you were in a time where support was what you were looking for.
And that's like now kind of guiding your goals.
Like you want to be that support system for people.
And that's a beautiful thing.
So it's okay to not know what that looks like right now.
You're still in like, you're in the phase of like, um, discovery.
You're kind of in the discovery phase of figuring out what you could possibly do to achieve that.
Um, so what I, what I've done is over the next, I don't know how many weeks are in a year 52.
I've planned out every single
episode of the Bloom Room and it's going to be guided. So that way it kind of takes us along the
journey of achieving our goals throughout the year. So every week has a different topic and
there's, there's actually little like pieces of homework that I've created. You can think of it
as homework. You could just think of it as like little tasks that you can do outside of the space or in the space
to kind of help you along the journey. But the very first thing that I asked people to do at
the beginning of the space was to pick a mission statement, get a piece of paper and write that
down. Now, you can also if you want to like show your support for the space, this goes to everybody.
If you, let's say you come up with a mission statement, you can post it and you can just hashtag the bloom room and maybe tag me.
Just to kind of like show support for the space and get the ball rolling.
I just want to get as many people in here as possible because the whole goal of this is to just help as many people as possible achieve their goals this year. So again, you can just post your mission.
Danger Dev did it. If you go to the top and you swipe over, you'll see KC did it. He posted his
mission statement, which is about him collaborating with all the talented people on X and to help put the word out about his app called Starship Launcher, which he created
and he might even want someone to write a jingle for. So yeah, go support him, go share some words
of encouragement in his comments, go post it. And then if you scroll over, you'll also see Danger
Devon has committed. He is committing to
Coming out with an album and we know Danger Dev has
My god what my TV just turned on randomly guys. That's crazy
Okay, so am I not supposed to come out with an album now?
What does that mean?
That was so scary that was so weird
I should not, y'all were talking about
I shit you not
I shit you not, my TV was off
Like it wasn't even on
Really? Well we were talking about
Harry Potter earlier. Oh my god
This is what happens when we align guys
We were talking about
A mazrica album
Yeah but go support
other people too And we have sonette who um uh i've literally written down
people's goals because i'm i'm not joking like we we always talk about these things and i want to
actually like you know put words into motion and help people along the journey. So I have Sunette who's talked about her mission with her newsletter on Beehive
and her mission to support artists and small businesses and other community members.
So everyone go to Sunette's profile, go find her newsletter, follow it, sign up.
She's right.
Email is the only way that we're all going to be able to stay connected
if anything happens to these platforms. So it's really important that you sign up for these
newsletters and email lists to stay connected with the people you care about. We have Vessi,
who just took on a whole bunch of new stuff this year. She's working at a new theater, the Arcata Theater.
She started a new YouTube channel.
She is making music for children.
She just moved into a new house. So she has a whole lot of new happening in her life right now.
And I think it'd be really cool if we go support her YouTube channel
because that's a really cool way.
Like YouTube is awesome because you can earn ad revenue
and it's just a really great way to just have side you know more like income coming in on the
side of whatever else you're doing so make sure you go support vessi um yeah so i don't know i
hope that kind of like gives a little idea of what this is going to look like. Um, and next week we are going, I like,
I was saying earlier, I'm going to try my best to always do eight o'clock. Um, but sometimes it
might be earlier. Sometimes it might be later, depending on what I have going on. I have a gig
next week in real life. So I'm going to be playing music at this time. Um, so I'm going to host it a
bit earlier, probably like, what did I say? say like 4 30 5 o'clock i don't
know i'm gonna figure it out probably get my makeup done while i'm in the space and do that
kind of stuff while i'm talking to you guys um but yeah that's kind of the gist of it the bloom room
we're all gonna grow together this year so yeah i wonder if you could do a separate like group chat for that you know yeah i should i um
so i've created like a little i'm not sharing it with you guys yet because i am there's some stuff
i need to like figure out here but um i've created this like back channel. So eventually everyone will have access. You'll
actually be able to add your own pages. Cause like I said, there's going to be like little
tasks and stuff here and there. So you'll be able to contribute in that way. And there is a chat
attached to it. Um, it's called the platform's called any type. So, um, it's kind of like,
think of it as like the Bloom Room headquarters.
Every episode is going to, I'm taking notes on every episode. I'm putting the notes in the group
chat or not in the group chat, in the collections, you'll see like an episodes collection. Every
episode is going to be tracked. So that way, if you miss an episode, you can go back and just see
what we talked about, see what the task is and like all that kind of stuff we could all stay on the same page um so yeah i know it sounds kind of it's different than most spaces
it's kind of like a workshop um but if you're you know if you're interested you can you can
still come to the space and not engage with like the tasks and stuff and be in the headquarters
you can but if you want to work for free it's but it's yeah i mean
when you think about it this is like a community version of that notebook that you know when you're
like i'm gonna start a new thing this year and you open up your notebook and you take all these
notes and you're like oh my god i'm gonna do this and i'm gonna follow this and then you never look
at it again and it just lives in those pages forever um this
yeah this is gonna not be that we're not doing that this year we're actually going to as a team
target our goals and make them tangible and follow through we're not going to be those people that
say i'm going to do this and then just not do it we're going to follow through. We're not going to be those people that say, I'm going to do this,
and then just not do it. We're going to follow through together. So with that being said,
I'm curious. I see Olive with some emojis. Olive, do you have like a mission for this year? Do you
have a mission statement? Well, I mean, I've always tried to be like the best version of myself as I possibly can treat others the way that I'd want to be treated.
But as you were talking, I put out a post that in 2016, I committed to pursuing relentless growth, bold action and meaningful impact, turning ambition into achievement, obstacles into opportunities and every day into progress towards the life that I'm proud to live.
That is so beautiful. Oh, my goodness.
And the photo you attach to that?
I really love photography, you know, so I'm in several different groups,
and I just really like to post pretty pictures, yeah.
Have you done anything with your
photography like is there any are you putting any photography out there in a way that you
can monetize it or is it something that you treat as a hobby no I just like to you know it's just a
hobby um and I never like show like what I where I'm at for location reasons and so forth so I put it in like a
mixture of that that's why I do that um and but it works out too because I have other you know I
try to make sure I always take like the real photographer into it if I can um sometimes I
save the photo and I don't remember who I got it from. So, you know, like it's an innocent mistake and, you know, but I do try to do that, you know, because I know that people work hard on that.
But I also sometimes, you know, I do it just to, you know, like throw off my location.
Love it. Love it. Love it. Love it.
And I saw the snow angel photo that you posted.
Oh, my goodness.
Did you take that photo?
I didn't, no.
No? Oh, my gosh.
I love that photo.
I didn't, but my friend did.
Oh, my gosh.
So pretty.
The sunset, the snow angel.
Oh, my God.
Stunning.
Absolutely stunning.
I posted Olive's.
Wait to see what Olive has to offer.
I'm sure it's better.
Olive, I love your profile pic.
It's kind of tantalizing.
You want to look at you, but you can't quite see you.
But it's great that way.
I have degrees in history
It's like a little mind control she's doing there
I didn't even think about that
It's a cause of disassociation
It is so well
Well positioned
This girl's good
This girl's good Okay I want to go to the next
person. I'm having fun with this. Mr. Anderson, do you have a mission for this year? Oh yeah.
I actually just posted a little while ago. Now that you mentioned it, that's, uh, you, uh, I
heard you asking the question made me think of it a little bit. And yeah, I guess I think my mission is to just be,
to choose discipline over distraction and structure my life over a lot of noise and
focus on my purpose over just staying comfortable. I think if I do those three things, I think I'm
going to achieve some pretty cool things in 26. That's my hope in way. I think I have the right
people around me to make that happen to them. Love it. Love it. Love it. Love it. Those are three very good. I think that applies to everybody,
you know, discipline over distraction, structure over noise, purpose over comfort. I agree
wholeheartedly. And I think discipline, it's a funny word because a lot of people think of it in like a negative light um you know harsh right it's it has it has a harsh connotation to it sometimes but i think
self-discipline is is not even necessarily about willpower um it's about design and that's where
you you kind of answered that you said structure over noise right and it's it's more about like um it's self-care
really that's what self-discipline is it's self-care it's self-love because you're respecting
yourself enough to um develop a way to trust yourself right because if you can't trust yourself, right? Because if you can't trust yourself, who can you trust?
You got to lay down your own structure over the noise, whether that's like a little workout plan,
your meal plan, whatever. Lay out some structure.
Absolutely. Yeah. And we, earlier we were talking about how, like, I think most people,
I think I said this recently, but most people, they either don't achieve their goals because
they're super vague about their goals. So they don't really like, you know, there's nothing to
achieve if you're super vague about it, right? But it's also like we lean on motivation and memory
and emotion to keep us on track oftentimes. But those three things are really really difficult to sustain
like you're often going to wake up and you're like oh shit I forgot to do that yesterday and
then you're going to be all self-depreciative you're gonna be like oh my god like I'm so bad
at this and then you just spiral or you're like I don't really feel like doing that today so you
become like you kind of become like a victim to your emotions. You're
letting your emotions dictate what it is you're doing. And if that's the case, then it's going
to be really, really hard to achieve your goals. Mind you, I do think it's important to notice
your emotions. Maybe you wake up one day and you're like, you know, today's not my day. I'm
really not feeling good. It's good to notice that, but having systems and having like self-discipline is such a, it's such a good way to snap yourself
out of those feelings. Um, I know this from firsthand, like I've, I've worked on this
significantly over the past year. And what I've noticed is that if you can keep returning to default, I like to call it default settings.
If you can keep returning to that default setting of, you know, whatever it is you set up for yourself and your goals, then your wins start to feel less like heroic and more inevitable because you're like, of course,
absolutely. Of course I hit that goal because I gave myself no other option. Like that was the
default setting. So if I didn't hit that goal, I'd be like, what, why, why didn't I hit that goal?
Like I was doing everything right. So, um, yeah, so that's something that we talked about today.
And we talked about how it's just, it requires a lot of honesty with yourself.
And you're going to, maybe you're going to step back and you're going to see patterns
that you didn't see before.
Maybe you're going to look inward and you're going to notice things that
you've been avoiding for a really long time.
And that is uncomfortable.
It's absolutely uncomfortable.
But once you get past that discomfort and instead of
judging yourself realizing and then just moving forward then you can start to make changes and
actually like live up to your highest potential so what I would encourage because I noticed like
something that helped me was to be more direct with my goals, to be more
specific with my goals and less vague because being vague makes it really, really hard to
actually like develop systems around those goals and develop habits. So I would encourage everybody
to try and like maybe over the next week, think about what specifically if you could picture yourself in December of 2026 in the best possible form.
What does that look like?
Right.
That's what I would encourage everybody to think about. Picture yourself on Christmas Day and what you would be thinking of what you
achieved over the past year. Ooh, take it away, danger. I'm breaking down because everything I ever wanted is walking away
I've burned myself just to make it all work out, but still she says the same thing every day.
Yeah, she says these conversations are a waste of time, baby. I And I scream Ooh
To break me all apart before I'm even down And I ask
What did you do?
To make my words for you have to turn into a me
Ooh My words for you have to turn into a Ooh
Ooh Ooh Turning over, I'm unrelieved and terrified
Then she might somehow find a way back into my mind
So I spend the whole day in this bed where I lie
Just so I can try and try
But then I won't wait till I die
But finally satisfaction here was my ride
Cause she always returns to the sake of your crimes and lies to me
To break me all apart before I'm even doing things
And I have to know what I did
To you
To make money for you
And to turn into one day
What have you done to me?
Heck yes.
Bing bong.
Oh, I got an unsolicited bing bong.
Bing bong.
Yeah.
From me.
I'm going to say.
Wow.
Can we hear from AJ What are your goals AJ
You seem like you have a little bit
Of everything going on in your life
You have a beautiful family
You're smart, you're intelligent
You got a DJ voice
You're interesting
He's got an AJ voice
Not a DJ voice
An AJ voice Good. So what's up?
Yeah, I got done. I got a lot of shit going on. A lot of projects going on. A lot of things
behind the scenes, working with a lot of good people behind the scenes. I have one of my
students, he just retired from football. You know looking for things. And it just comes at a time where I'm looking to put together live shows.
I think in-person contact is how we offset this fucking crazy digital hell that we've
created on here.
There's a lot of loops on here.
These people are out here running these spaces, rabbit holes that lead to absolute nowhere
to lead to absolute division.
It's just a joke. You're in a K-shaped world right now, a K-shaped society, a K-shaped economy
where the K, one part of the K goes up and people are going to survive. The rest of the K goes down
and people are going to be dragged down into hell. So I'm going to bring people together.
It's going to be like a networking thing. We got the biggest people in the world helping out some of the best professional athletes,
not just football players. One of my best friends, a baseball player,
getting him involved and whatever. Maybe Emelo B. Maybe Emelo B could perform at that.
We got the great Billy Carson. He's down. We're going to have Bashar. He's the number one performer
out there. He's going to be doing these shows. You guys aren We're going to have Bashar. He's the number one performer out there.
He's going to be doing these shows.
You guys aren't even going to believe it.
Now you have all these UFO conferences. They're run by feds.
I'm taking over every one of these UFO conferences, you know, with people like Billy and Bashar
and all them.
And the fed guys, they don't really fuck with me that much.
that much. So I'm going in there and actually taking over their entire operations. I'm going
So I'm going in there and actually taking over their entire operations.
to the Conscious Life Expo in LA next in February. And I'm just going to get everybody's names and
everybody works for me. And I'm not taking no for an answer. And I'm going to run one UFO conference
after the other, take over one in Florida, take over one in LA, take over everywhere.
And some of those guys that are one of those big conferences,
they're asking me to help them out with it.
So, I mean, there could be some of the biggest things in the world.
I'm not going to lie.
But, you know, I'm kind of don't want to be Israel.
New York, Philly, or Boston, AJ.
New York, Philly, or Boston.
What's that?
New York, Philly, or Boston on the East Coast.
Which one of the big three cities are you on there?
I'm going to do shows more like in New Jersey.
My first show is I got a guy in the Hard Rock Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
It would be the mintest show in the world.
I just got to see how it's going to go.
I don't know how it is to put shows together, so I'm throwing shit at the wall.
These cost a fortune.
To do some of these shows, these cost $100, $200, $300.
I don't even know.
You could do it for cheap, but there's so much money.
However, I'm willing to risk it just to see how this goes.
And I think it's going to go well.
I think I could get five big speakers in there and maybe perhaps beg a Mela B to be like,
Mela, come out.
Imagine running spaces, but doing it in person.
Just think about that.
People are about that. People are used to that.
Bringing technology in there, having steam, having a big show,
having a DJ playing music and everything on the side,
and then a little bit of truth on top of that.
And then after that, maybe an after party, something like that.
That's in the works.
And I got some of the best people helping me in the world with this.
So, you know, I'm doing that.
I got like five books written, some of the best books.
So I'm going to publish them one by one.
Boom, boom.
I'm going to give every dollar I make on all the books, on all the shows.
I'm going to give it all a fucking way.
So I've never seen anybody do that, but I'm going to do that.
And I'm just going to have fun with this.
I don't even give a shit anymore.
I created this plastic, this aesthetic business, Botox, fillers, all that shit.
People hate that shit.
They hate it with all their guts.
However, we do it so the people look better than they've ever looked in their entire lives
and they cry how good they look.
And I told Rachel, whenever you guys are ready.
Hold up, hold up.
Who said they hated that?
Who doesn't want to look their best? Get out of here with that shit. Their hold up who said they hated that no some people want to look their
best get out of here with that shit look their lips are big and this and that i love that shit
i show you pictures and they look absolutely gorgeous like we turned in the clock back 20
years i have all these lasers and shit that could take 20 years off your life and that was just the
business i threw together this and that so i i don't know. Things are working out. I'm going to fucking be a billionaire in 10 years.
However, before that, we're going to really have a lot of fun doing it.
And apparently you look like 30 years younger.
I know. And look young too. Or I'll crash and burn. I don't give a fuck. Either way.
I already made it. I already seen enough in my life. So I'm just going to have a lot of fun.
I really despise this app. I despise
social media with all my heart. I believe it's a digital hell, a digital trap. We're on these
things for eight hours talking about God knows what. You know what I mean? I think you got to
meet in person. You got to be face to face with people. You got to listen to Melody's music in
person. You got to talk to people in person and network. And then it sparks ideas. And then you come together and create with people. And
that's how you do it. I believe that's the thing. You know, we create our own little troll village.
Somebody sings songs. Somebody makes fucking bread baskets. I don't know.
I love it. I love it. And I said this before, I'll say it again, not to boost his ego too much,
but something about AJ that I find really admirable and I think is a trait that we should
all try to adopt this year is he speaks so confidently and definitively about his goals.
Like when AJ speaks, he's like, I'm going to do this. He's manifesting that shit.
speaks he's like i'm gonna do this he's manifesting that yeah he doesn't speak like oh i kind of think
i want to do no no exactly he was like i don't give a shit anymore this is what i'm doing those
were his words like come on yeah and earlier earlier i kind of like tested that and said okay
someone in the audience might be like okay but, but yeah, this guy's got the resources. Like, of course he's going to be confident. No, no, no, no, no. I know for a fact,
AJ didn't come from a place where he always had the ability and always had the resources at his
fingertips. He had to adopt that mentality to get there, right? We talked about this earlier. So
in order to get to a place where you can achieve anything you want, because all of a sudden you
have the agency to be able to do so. First, you have to, you have to achieve that mentality first.
You're not going to get to where you want to go by saying, Oh, maybe I don't know. No.
You got to have it. Yes, it's a mindset. So that's what the bloom room is all about. We're trying to
adopt that mentality. We're trying to adopt that mentality we're trying to
encourage those around us too and by doing you know these little tasks of like okay what's my
mission for this year you know next week i have another little it's all little stuff but it's it's
gonna stack up and then by the end of the year you're gonna be you're gonna be able to look back
and say oh wow i actually did achieve all these things because I was being super mindful along the way.
And I slowly adopted this mentality of being a successful person rather than a tentative or hesitant person, right? So that's my goal. My goal is, well, I have this goal of, you know,
my mission is I'm going on tour this summer, my albums releasing the summer, I have my own missions regarding my music.
But one of my missions is to uplift the people around me. So that way, everybody I'm surrounded by, we all have this like go getter mentality, like, because you are who you are surrounded by.
Like your environment dictates who you are. I believe that. So if we can all have that mentality,
we're all going to win from that.
Right?
Does that make sense?
Oh, 100%.
Absolutely.
And listen, if influencers on here want to kill each other,
let them all kill each other.
If people want to fight, let them all fight.
Who gives a shit?
If people from TP USA want to fucking fight and play those games,
let these people play
their games of thrones. Don't even worry about it. They got to keep these systems in place. Fuck
them. Let them keep these systems in place. We could just come together and build our own little
world within this world and not even be bothered by it. That's what's happening. And when I talk
about a K-shaped economy, it's the people who understand, who don't fear this bullshit and
really could focus their attention and bring something to life, whether it's a book, whether
it's a song, whether it's a calendar. You bring one thing to life, I think it propels you to bring
other things to life. Bring something small to life at first, and then it makes it easy to bring
bigger things to life. Absolutely. It teaches you that you're capable, right? And then you start to trust yourself. Once you achieve one thing, you're like,
oh man, I can do that. Shit. I didn't know I was capable. I always let myself down before.
But then once you actually start acting and not letting yourself down and finishing something,
completing something, you're building self-trust. And then when you go back to the drawing board and
you say, okay, what's next? Now, all of a sudden you're like, yeah, I can do this, this, this,
because I know how to follow through now. So it takes, again, it's going to take a level of
self-awareness and, you know, always just evaluating yourself and figuring it out as you go.
But yeah, I just want this community to be the place that we can kind of do that together and uplift each other. So it's all positive
vibes here. I want to check in. I'm going to close out the space very soon. I want to check
in with Danielle. Oh my God, thank you for coming. How are you, girl? Oh, my gosh. I feel so honored that you invited me personally into your space, Melody.
I know we go way back.
We've known each other for, like, a few years here, I think, in space.
But amazing space, amazing people in here.
I did obviously give everybody a follow.
And, yeah, I mean, I've been in spaces all day.
And I've been, like, listening to what people are saying.
And, you know, part of my goal this year is to be, you know, trying to listen first and just being mindful into what people are saying and kind of taking that.
Basically, like, you know, the old school, you guys like thinking before you speak kind of a thing, which I know a lot of us do lack.
And I will even speak for myself.
And so just listening, taking it in and then taking a beat before I speak.
And so that's kind of where I'm at.
Model B, you'll be proud of me.
I decided in 2026 to let everything go from you guys.
I've been holding on to things for two years in Web3.
in web three you know it hits me hard I wear my heart on my sleeve but I decided um to just let
You know, it hits me hard.
I wear my heart on my sleeve.
all of the bullshit go for myself not for them I don't really care about them but it's only at the
end of the day it's hurting my mental health my well-being and I want to move forward and up
and start the year right and in all aspects so just like you're talking about, setting my own tone for myself,
setting goals and achieving them one by one,
even whatever the smallest might be.
Say I want to go take a pole dancing class
and try it out.
Like trying it out,
like setting it straight.
Don't say, oh, I'm going to go take
like pole dancing for a year.
No, like, hey, like I'm going to go take it.
I know you're laughing down there,
but it's like, I'm going to take like one class
and see how it goes.
Just like you're saying.
And I'll tell you how good you did.
Oh, my God.
Danger Dev.
You're freaking hilarious.
I love that.
I'm sorry I had to.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, please post that for research purposes.
I promise you these guys are great.
It's okay, Melvilleville i wasn't trying to
be inappropriate in your space no the space gets inappropriate sometimes it's totally cool
uh what did we say earlier i'll never dm you just so you know
yeah you don't have to worry um we were talking about loins earlier. So anyways, I love that mentality.
Listen first, talk later, you know, think before you speak.
It sounds so old school, but, you know, we live in this world where I think people have
kind of forgotten about that a little bit and everybody wants to be heard.
But sometimes it's really good to sit back and listen and observe and, you know, take things in and then make a decision.
Then decide how you feel about something because in the moment you might feel a certain way, but then 20 minutes later you think about it and you're like, man, why was I thinking like that?
Like you need time to process.
Your brain needs time to process this stuff.
So I love
that mentality and then also like the the trying new things trying new things is scary um and
I I just love that so much it's that's what it's all about you gotta it's part of being a creative
person I know that you're a creative person I've known you for some time now I've heard you in
spaces so many times and you're just a creative person and being, leaning into your
creativity sometimes means trying things that you've never tried before. And you might end up
finding that you're really, really fucking good at something that you might've never tried unless
you pushed yourself out of your comfort zone. So I love that. That's such a good goal. Yeah. I mean,
I might be like giving lessons on pole dancing in a good goal. Yeah. I mean, I might be like giving
lessons on pole dancing in a year from now, you know, like I might be doing those TikToks, you
know, and, uh, lessons to me. Oh my God. Well, my husband, Melody told me that I am not taking
pole dancing classes. Did he? He said that?
He was like, nah. I swear to God, yeah.
I'm sure you know Meta Ruth if you're not.
Anyways, Meta Ruth is like, I'm going to take
and this has to be something we do together.
She lives in Florida. I live in Arizona, you guys.
She's like, I want this to be something.
So Johnny's like,
she's being a bad influence
on you.
I'm like, babe, I'm'm gonna get a pull and then i
can show you like you know i can practice at home i'll get a safe mat and uh yeah there you go
he's down for melby but he gets a free show he gets a free show tell him he can get one of those
he can get a little like polarid camera he can be your photographer those photos just live in his
pocket there you go yeah you can be like, babe, is it worth it?
Let me work it.
I'll put that thing down, flip it in reverse.
Oh, my God.
They do have lessons on how to twerk and stuff in the beginner class as I was reading about it.
I was like, this is pretty cool, like the lollipop and all these sorts of things.
But I just think it's good for your physical health, too, though.
Like, I want to work on my physical things.
The gym could be so expensive and I think this would be fun meeting other people
and you know learning your ability from the bottom up safely you guys not like I'm gonna
go be a stripper or anything I'm just saying like for just activities you guys are laughing at me
it's a fun way it's a fun way to approach you know physical health right like not everybody has
the type of personality that they can go to the gym and fucking lift weights for an hour like not
everybody has that you know what i mean like not everybody's interested in that but sometimes you
want to shake your thing like i don't know like i think that's fair absolutely you do you hey man
some of the things some of the things they can do on that poll are pretty athletic, I'll just say.
Absolutely.
Salutations.
Salutations. Thanks for coming through.
Okay, thank you so much, Danielle. I love you, girl. Please stick around.
I'm going to be closing this out soon, guys. I just got to let you know that.
But I want to make sure that I get to everybody because we have some of my favorite people
in the world up here.
I'm going to jump over to Mr. Prez and then we're going to go to James.
Prez, I know you've been here for a while.
I don't know how much of the space you've caught, but I'm so curious.
You're one of those people that I just love your insight so much.
So I'm curious to hear what you have to say on the topic that we've talked about this
evening.
And also, I'm very curious to hear what your mission is for the year what's what's the tone you're setting for 2026
what's up yo how's it going everyone yo pres is playing it cool he played it slow played it
he was slow playing that speaker right there what's up brother no i miss you man what's good
bro i miss you too man what's good everyone rachel miss you man what's good bro i miss you too
man what's good everyone rachel mella everyone in the room yeah i've just been listening patiently
actually you know what's funny um in the background i was listening i was actually
writing some stuff not the prompts that you gave us mella but i was actually writing some other
creative pursuits and i may or may not pursue that uh in the very very very very near
future and i'm talking about like this weekend like i'm just gonna spring it up as a surprise so
i feel like this space definitely inspired that yeah um you know i think the going back to your
opening statements the um stacked habits aspects of things i think that's great and i think I think, you know, having a series such as The Bloom Room
will definitely help inspire people.
One thing I will add, though, is kind of like you were saying about systems.
I think the systems do help mold and shape their behaviors.
In addition to that, I think it's also about reframing what systems look like.
So even the word systems can come off with a sense of heaviness,
and even the word stacked habits can come off with a sense of heaviness depending on what's relative to that
individual so for me instead of stacked habits i might just say something like incremental changes
right so like you're still working towards those either big goals or small goals whatever the fuck
it is but like still you're maintaining that sense of balance that you need to be kind of like the smart method right specific measurable all that stuff so you keep
that balance but then also like recognizing that those incremental changes will make that
big change whatever that big change looks like so yeah in terms of setting the tone for 2026
shout out to you Mela I think this uh space will definitely help promote that you know moving
forward for a lot of people.
So, yeah, keep on with the positive self-talk, guys.
And I'll definitely be here to support you.
I'll end there.
Love it.
Love it so much.
And I'm glad that you reframed.
That's what we were talking about.
We were like, a lot of this comes down to reframing.
And, you know, I might say something in the space that you have to, you know, adjust the vocabulary around to suit your individual needs and to suit your personality.
And that's awesome because like you just gave a real life example of what it looks like to reframe something.
Earlier in the space, we were talking about reframing negative thoughts
into positive ones. I think we talked about how sometimes people say, I'm not good at ABC,
or I'm not the type of person that can blank, right? And flipping that into a positive,
And flipping that into a positive is it can be really, really hard.
But trying to reframe it into something like, for example, I've always said, like one of the things I used to always say about myself that I have tried to stop doing.
I'm not really a math person.
That's what I always said.
I don't do math. I'm not a math person. I don not really a math person. That's what I always said. I don't do math. I'm not a math
person. I don't do mental math. I like calculators, right? And I spent most of my life saying,
like, I just don't do that. But I'm trying really hard to reframe that thought into,
I'm still learning, or I'm still working on or I'm practicing like reframing it
into something that you're still possible like it's still possible to achieve it's still possible
to get good at so that way you don't box yourself in because for the longest time I boxed myself
into that category of a person that simply does not but but I don't have to be that. I don't
have to live that way forever. I can actually practice this thing and get better at it. So
yeah, it's all about reframing. So I'm really happy that you brought that up and I hope to see you in
more Bloom Room sessions because like I said, your insight is always so profound
and I value your opinion so much. So thanks for coming through, Prez.
Can't wait to see what you achieve this year. 2026, guys. I can't believe it. Wild.
26 guys i can't believe it wild let's jump over to james james do you have like a a mission
yeah to write those other five songs oh i was talking we have two jameses we have two jameses

Go ahead. Let him finish, Mel. Let him finish what he's saying. Go ahead.
Oh, no. They already talked to me.
Yeah. We already got James' mission statement.
James is going to write five more songs, and then he's going to have a nice catalog of music and then maybe maybe we'll get a get a album get a lp from james in
the near future that'd be sick so we're gonna encourage him to keep writing and let's really

And it's so funny.
You get that, brunch, Mella.
At 10 o'clock, she was closing it.
Everybody's been drinking and the Lord knows what.
And y'all are wilding.
Who told you?
I mean, no.
Hi, Felicia.
Undercover missions, baby.
What's your mission for 2026
Undercover baby
Oh shit she's not gonna tell us
That's what you get for holding me last
We saved the bus for last
What do you mean
She's like yanked on her note till you see it
I love it
Everybody knows the bus goes last yeah yeah yeah i i
i was i kind of started already started some of my stuff this year um i had like i said i had
originally had one page and i had like a mix of stuff on my pages here on X. So what I guess you could say I'm going to probably be,
well, I'm not probably going to be doing anything. I'm going to be working on promoting,
promoting celebrities on my movie page, promoting singers on my singer page.
I'm adding different things on my pages i've already incorporated like old
school autograph photos i have an art section oh i don't know girl i'm gonna be working on getting
to you back singing baby just kidding yeah girl oh my god working on my comedian side no i'm just kidding
uh i don't know there's a lot of things that i have that i'm going through personally too
that i have to take care of first which i've already got through a lot of you know like
you know i don't know if everybody else knows but because i had a drunk driver hit me i've had to go
through a lot of um therapies and things procedures and stuff that i've gotten through most of all of
it so i'm gonna get to the end of that but i'm in the in the meanwhile i'll be working on all the
promoting on the side and stuff and um i used to have like a little doge thing on my main page where I used to get like doge tips when we would do like art classes and stuff.
And we'd have like, you know, contest, art contest.
And we draw like pictures of dinosaurs or whatever and then whoever won got some doge
tipping shit like that but excuse my language anyway it's getting late at night but um now
um there's other ways of also putting up uh tipping like you can go like to link tree there's a
place where you can donate um also there's other like uh buy me a coffee
there's lots of different ways of tipping people in these spaces and not only tip and donating
or just you know anything like that for anything anybody's doing while we're all talking about our
goals and everything there are people out here who are really putting themselves out there with their poetry, with their singing, whatever they're doing.
They're comedians, they're joking, whatever they do.
You know, that does serve, you know, to show some love.
And so, like, you know, like people who don't know that just come into these places that don't know there's different ways of uh showing your
love so that's just something to throw out there as well um yeah so i have a couple of things
it's getting late at night my brain's getting a little foggy but i've been holding in there
holding in there used to go to by 11, but I'm still here.
You're making me laugh.
I'm going to choke.
Yeah, I told you I was working on my comedian.
I know.
You're so funny.
I choke early on a banana. I wish you all the best for the procedures that you have left.
And for everything else that you've got going in 2026
and i promise you next week you will not be last i promise oh girl i was playing about that
no i'm your cheerleader i'm gonna have your back from beginning to end as long as i catch the
beginning i hate that i missed half of it. I was like, what?

If you haven't already, check out the post above.
I posted, you'll see my post.
It says I'm going on tour this summer and I'm doing it differently.
So when you click that post, you'll see the application form to be a host of a Mela B show.
It can happen in your backyard.
It can happen in your living room.
Think Tiny Desk vibes.
So if you have a space that you would like to host a show in,
go ahead and fill out that application form as soon as possible. This cannot be something that
we leave because there will be a cutoff date. I need as much notice as possible because there's
a whole lot of logistical stuff that I have to figure out. So as soon as you are like,
I want to do this,
make sure you fill out that form. Are you going to have like a little calendar so that like,
if somebody goes in there, they can see that one day is filled up that are like that spots taken,
you know, it's so nobody else don't take it right now. Well, there's no way to like secure your spot
because I need to vet the whole, imagine I get, like, a bunch of, like, stupid people that go in and troll me, right?
I can't just let people do that.
So I'm vetting every single person that applies.
I'm not going to just travel to someone's house and not know who I'm going to see.
That's smart.
So I have to be really smart about it it which means i need as much notice as possible
if you want to host me and other um talented musicians please go fill out that form i've
already got a few applications and i want to fill up the whole summer i want to i want to play as
many shows as i can this summer so yeah anyways much love, everybody. It's been real.
