The humility actually hits so deep. Dropping the front and being vulnerable and authentic. I had to grow up pretty quick and put a lot of pressure on myself to always know what to say and how to act with friends and family and the last year I’ve read a lot of eastern philosophy and my relationships are the strongest they’ve ever been actually asking for help and being honest about my struggles. It’s made me realize humans connect to humans and if you try too hard to smooth out all your rough edges nothing will stick. Glad you’re venturing out beyond fashion it’s great to see.
This is probably the single best video I've watched in all my years of RUclips. This should have 100x the views it does now. 71k is way too little. This is literally a hidden gem
Thank you for educating all the young men that watch you. So much priority is put on material possessions and having a voice like yours speak out in such a balanced manner is inspiring.
Brandon all i wanna say is thank you for the videos. They helped me grow as a person since i started watching you last year. I have been taking care of myself more and realized that this path is not impossible for me to achieve. Eventually i want to start my own channel about my journey and this video gave me everything to do so now. I hope that one day i can meet up with you and share my experiences. You seem to be such a great guy and you are truly an inspiration for a lot of us! Thank you so much, greetings from Cologne Germany :)❤
Slowly approaching my 40's and only a couple of years ago I decided I needed to prioritize my health instead of just work and partying. I'm finally in the best shape of my life and the mental clarity / focus that comes from sleeping properly, staying off the booze and getting regular work outs and sauna sessions in is unmatched. I felt way worse in my late 20's / early 30's than I do now. Not enough people talking about this. Thanks Brandon! God bless.
I like this type of video where you talk more about life and the "correct" way to face internal obstacles to try to live better, not just appear to live better. It's cool to see how you developed your maturity through your journey.
Wonderful life lessons. So much of what people do today is out of fear. Fear has paralyzed so many, especially young people. Its so sad to see. Living no matter how you are judged, is better than doing what most are doing, which is nothing. Again wonderful life lessons. 🎉🎉🎉❤
Glad to follow you since 2/3 years, before being a great creator you’re a fantastic person and it’s a pleasure to have you as an example and listen to everything you have to say. Thank you Brandon
Life philosophy and wisdom are gained, and Brandon puts you on the path 🙏 to that achievement. With his 8 step lessons of living a full and happy life. Pretty smart cookie, Bro knows.
It’s really nice seeing you up there Brandon. I remember asking you for some help early 21 when you had just started, and now you’re at around 700K. Good job man!
Balfour the motivational speaker lmao. But being genuine these lessons actually have a great impact in life. One life lesson I would give to my old self - don't try to be a person who would be loved by everyone because if you take a group of 10 people maybe 8 will be with you but 2 of em either they will back off or they will insult so just concentrate on people who genuinely care about you and don't be a people pleaser be yourself :)
You've always been a great guy, Brandon. You have a great sense of fashion, yet you're a humble, kind, and inspiring person. I couldn't agree more with the two most important tips for me: question your beliefs and lessen your ego. I'm a high school sophomore at the moment. I used to have this huge ego and a superior attitude towards my classmates due to my excellent level of languages. I mean, not all of them-I’m not that arrogant-but if anyone made fun of me or mocked me in any way, I'd get my revenge in English class by mocking every mistake they made. I’ve started to lessen my ego, and this helped me pass my first year with a great percentage. Keep on making these great videos, man. Absolute love and respect ❤🫂.
anytime i go out now and someone serves me or helps me out i use there name and thank them afterwards. I had these feelings of things i didn't try enough things or things i missed out on in my 20s or not feeling enough and putting a lot of pressure on myself now and im only 31 and working on that part of letting go and appreciating what i have now with more friends and not caring about material possessions even though i've been improving my wardrobe and building my confidence level up socially/mentally/and trying new things.
The great thing about your Videos is that after watching you are really motivated to change or try Something new in your Life and not having a bad Feeling Like you already too late or already missed the Chance to succeed. Keep up the great work Buddy🫀. Greetings from Germany🤲💯
I’ve been watching a lot of such videos, all of em have one thing in common: have an idea, try it out as soon as you can. You don’t when success can strike.
Keep em coming Balfour , I love these when you just share the knowledge you have aquired so far in life. The last one was just as good and I literally got kick in the butt for not putting in enough effort to go for my dreams. Me and you are the same age but the only difference is you have made something of your life and believed in yourself hard enough that you achieved. So I just wanna thank you for this kind of video
Brandon, I'm a 30-year-old male from Ontario. Came across your channel last year and have been subbed. I need to say I look up to you as a younger person and admire your work. You have been a great motivational person for me and I aspire to get to the best version of me in the future. Thank you for your videos and can't wait for more!
Brandon, you're the only one in the scene who truly speaks from the heart and genuinely wants the best for everyone. I really appreciate that. Thank you for being yourself. ❤
Appreciate your kind words brother but there’s definitely some real ones out there with true value apart for myself, they’re just a needle in a haystack
What a great and refreshing video, specially coming from a young guy. It’s good to know that some young guys are thinking this way nowadays Lesson number one on your list is spot on. Great message man.
Hey bro, I am really glad I found you on social media, I am from Dominican Republic, you have given me a lot of idea not only of how to dress better with your videos, but of how to be happier with the things I already have and the people I have around, God bless you bro
Great video and insights man 👏🏾 Your point about health was spot on. No matter what, my fitness comes first, and I made my CFO aware of this before joining. He’s onboard of my schedule as long as my work output is in form - and to get that on form output, I need to feel good in my health in fitness ♻️
hey brandon, you should make a full closet room tour. I highly suggest it nonetheless you are my idol, I get outfit ideas from you mainly you and alex costa. keep on thriving and godbless you
It’s crazy man we spend all this time doubting we can achieve our dreams and then once you actually set your mind to 100% go after it it isn’t nearly as hard as you convinced yourself it would be
Actually really enjoyed this sit down, you have a whole lot to offer people bro, glad you’re doing your thing. I feel like I’m spamming you, but keep leaning into that faith talk, Jesus is key. 👌🏽
You got this champ! The ultimate version of you already exist within. The very fact you acknowledge there’s change to be made is already the largest step 🙏
„In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” - George Orwell It may not fit this video too well, but I’m going to say it anyways.
Bro the man I am today is thanks to you , Alex Costa , Devon on deck and Jose Zuniga , y'all have had a tremendous impact in my life , I aspire to follow in your footsteps in the next coming months
This is a great video man, nice to see a different type of content from you! Even though I really like your fashion content, I can also really appreciate this type of video's. I will make sure to remember these tips, thanks for the video!
I like those videos. I would love to see something about your business and how you would start today and which advices you should give the generation today ? Love all of your videos
yoo Number 2, though so obvious, made me really reflect on how i treat others. Maybe it wasnt that bad, but just thinking about it for a moment made me realize theres been some unnecessary, annoying, mean stuff i was doing. Thank you brother 💪💪
00:00 📈 The speaker reflects on significant changes in their life over recent years, including building a large social media following, traveling, and experiencing personal challenges. 00:26 💡 Lesson 1: Question your beliefs to align with your true values, rather than societal expectations. 01:57 ❤ Lesson 2: Be kind and generous to everyone, as it fosters positive relationships and unexpected benefits. 03:11 🧠 Lesson 3: Most people won't believe in you unless they have achieved extraordinary things themselves. 04:09 🏥 Lesson 4: Prioritize health above all else, as it is foundational to achieving any other goals. 06:13 🔥 Lesson 5: Tough experiences, like the speaker's house burning down, often lead to the most valuable lessons. 07:50 ⏳ Lesson 6: Act with urgency, as time is limited and we are constantly moving closer to death. 08:46 🤝 Lesson 7: Embrace humility to learn more, connect better with others, and be more authentic. 10:18 🌟 Lesson 8: Believe that anything is possible with enough focus, effort, and the right support.
Rule34:-if a fashion guru makes a video abt life,don't miss
Damn, i fw rule34
i love rule34
Haha hopefully people show up!
Yeah if you look up rule 34 that’s what will come up
Liars
this guy went from making the hardest fits to philosophy
Haha I’ve honestly been kind of bored with the fashion content lately and felt I could also potentially add value in other areas as well.
@@BrandonBalfourlove the idea, brother.
@@BrandonBalfour a great idea though
One of the most humble guys on social media. Direct, precise and straight to the point. keep going Brandon!
You know tht the person is good when they share everything they know...
I hope the 11 minute watch is worth it!

The part about your house fire really hit home man. Really puts things in to perspective about material possessions. Great video!

Super unfortunate that the fear of “failing” is worse than the fear of never knowing if it was possible
Brandon is like an elder brother to all of us here ❤
