When I lived in LA, I had a really scary incident late at night in the parking lot of a bar. This was in the early 2000s. I was being abused and I started to cry and all of a sudden, these chicano gang members just showed up out of nowhere and jumped the person who was abusing me. They held him down so I cold escape, and they beat him pretty hard. Someone called the police, and before the cop cars got there, the gang members had vanished completely into the dark, and the person who was abusing me was laying on the ground bleeding. They were truly looking out for the neighborhood and they were chivalrous. I am not condoning gang activity in any way, but I was really amazed and impressed by their protective and chivalrous behavior. They saved me. I have no idea who they were, I never saw them again. This gentleman has intelligence and wisdom in spite of such a rough upbringing and many challenges. Thank you for sharing your story, Daniel. I love this series of portrait interviews so much.
And that’s why brown men joined forces to start a gang , to protect the neighborhood and everybody in it , sadly it’s quite the opposite now a days .
Word.

I know ppl exactly like Daniel. I grew up with them.
Daniel has stories that cannot be told on youtube. They are stories that have left ruin in their wake.
In my opinion, It is the stronger man that can raise his children and be a solid husband and father and not want ANY recognition from it.
He just does it because it is the right thing to do. He does not need that respect. He has it from his children and wife and thats all that matters. It is real respect, not fear.
Being a macho alpha male is easy compared to being a Man that has built and maintained the trust of a woman who he married and then to raise a family and do it all because it is simply the right thing to do. Not for fame or ego, not for status, not for your neighborhood but for the sake of being good for ALL mankind.
Being such a man isnt glamourous and does not get likes on social media.
It does not sell.
Yes, Daniel has wisdom and intelligence, but it hasnt always been used for positive and I am sure his actions have brought misery to some.
I think Daniels story is a cautionary tale.
But that is what we ( the United States ) sensationalize and promote in our media, hey, it got me to click and watch. I get it.
I have seen this culture destroy good honest people. i have seen the drug dealers at the funerals of the guys they sold drugs to, acting like they actually give a sh*t.
Everybody knows it and acts like its ok. They all watched the addict keep going to the dealer and nobody stopped the addict or god forbid tell the dealer to stop.
They don't see the real poison is the alpha male that is using all of them to get whats good for him and his family. The get mine mentality. Its not gonna play out well.
Anyway, I understand why you and others are enamored with Daniel and his story. But there is a very, very dark side to the whole culture.
@@bilbo5775 thank for sharing your experience. You make a lot of good points. I am not enamored of him but I respect him but I also see your perspective.
Ever since I watched him on Peter Santenello I can’t stop watchin this man’s interviews/podcasts etc. glad to stumble here in SWU to watch him share his wisdom
I discovered Daniel trough Big Hercs Channel
I've had a fucked up life, and it took me until my 30s to take a step back from all the anger and bullshit and mature and see how it all happened. I love stories like this, so relatable.
Same here. I grew up fucked up and barely starting to live now that I'm in my 30s. I have no idea how I'm still alive. I should have died many times. Life is a blessing bro.
"Schooling starts at home, morals start at home"
No other truer statement
That's that ol school morals and schooling
I agree but his morals are sell drugs to your own community and kill anyone that slightly works you
@@oisociety those didn’t work, did they?
@@princegobi5992 you asking him like he the dude getting interviewed 🤦🏿♂️
@@mgndussel hahahaa😂
We live in a strange world, where someone with such a rough life can end up wiser, more accountable and more genuine than a lot of CEOs, lawyers or politicians
Thaaaaank yooooou! Best comment! 👍
They get held accountable. The streets don't allow people a "bail out"
Almost like money, influence and education don’t make you smart. Shocked
Key to success is responsibility and consistency alot of good people out there that lack them qualitys if it's because of addiction or mental health or there circumstances also alot of addicts are great bullshiters
Exactly and that’s usually the people that actually go through their own struggles and learning from their flawed peers. I love his way of thinking.
Daniel, your broke down stereotypes in your talk, walls crumbled. Deep thinker, and thank you for sharing. Unbelievably, one of the most introspective videos I have ever watched!
“We expect so much from people because of how we where raised”
This hit so close to home
Never judge a book by its cover, this man is a living representation of that! Such wisdom and insight, deep thinker, def reads and researches alot and thinks all the way through! Best thing he said was the fatherly advice about explaining to his kids why or how certain things work and to be detailed. Excellent, and such good advice, I could really relate to that in my childhood! Awesome guy! Awesome work once again Mark!
Yes! 👏🏻
In general people think gang members must be unintelligent?!? I don't why people are so shocked 😐
@ 13:00min
@@EdemAgbottahThankyou this is fathers advice reference right??
A close friend of mine, Ernesto, was raised in East LA. He is a fair skinned, red haired Hispanic, so he had some real challenges growing up. He tells stories of running home from school to avoid gang members who thought he was a 'gringo'. I met him in college. We graduated together and joined the Air Force together, going to Undergraduate Pilot Training, UPT, in 1986. We're both airline Captains now, I'm in my 30th year and he's in his 29th year with his airline. Great guy who overcame a lot of adversity growing up in East Los Angeles. Great family values from his parents, who are first generation US immigrants from Mexico.
Hey, Did Ernesto use to have the nickname, "Garfield" when he was younger?
I have never heard of a red headed Hispanic before.
@@stst77 canelo? In mexico there is a lot of red haired people specially on the north side of mexico
@@franciscoquezada4483 Nah it was Miklo
@@franciscoquezada4483 wow, I have never heard of that before. Interesting! Do you think they mixed with whites to get the red hair?
Never judge a book by its cover. I could listen to this guy all day.
Agree👍
Same.
Amen
❤
He's still active in the gang life, so he'd easily steal your purse, wallet, etc and harm you.
I came from a fucked up childhood but the day I got out of the joint I found a woman and was married !! I raised 5 wonderful kids that are all grown and doing great with their families. These 5 blessings is my greatest ACCOMPLISHMENT in life. Today I am proud of who I am with no shame in who I have become but it wasn't easy either I had to work my ass off every single day and still do.
I loved this interview. Who would think a gang member would be so in touch with his feelings and have such wonderful view points in life, love, family, respect, education. He seemed so kind hearted and very intelligent, it made me feel good listening to his story and I believe he is a wonderful father. Ty Mark for this fine interview. And Ty Daniel. Godspeed ❤🎉
What a very eloquent & intelligent man. He acknowledges his past but doesn’t want it to define his future. Kudos to you Daniel x
Definitely didn't expect this and really appreciate both of you spending the time to make this incredibly valuable documentation.
My favorite videos are the ones that shock me. You can tell that Mark really enjoyed doing this one as well!!
Should of been longer doe
Q££@@
Thats the way of us Chicanos growing up, having morals, standards, and regulations
I love his straight up moral way's. He's a dying breed. 100% agree with the truth he speaks about judging others. Take care brother
Daniel just brought out the old school class, respect, charm, wisdom and so much more. All that good stuff the babies of the 80’s seem to be the last ones blessed with. This is an individual that you’d cherish any relationship with. I’m blown away!
Well said.
Phenomenal interview. Articulate. Clarity of thought. Purposeful. Deeply human. Hats off to the two of you.
I met Daniel last year - he is a stand up man he’s got my respect 100%
Brother Smiley!! Whats up man.
Unfortunately this daniel guy is conspiracy theorist, alternative history cultist/believer which did not come up in this interview.
Ive seen videos of this same guy "teaching" his conspiracy theories "as the real truth" hahaa guys on legitimate psychosis.
No one takes him seriously because of his weird historical believes some cultist nut job teached him. If he dropped that ridiculous alternate fantasy history stuff he would go far in life
i cant stand historical liers
yeah stand up man, right ? ! ? You dumb
This dude blew me away with his maturity, wisdom, honesty and bravery. Wow!
Third time I've seen Daniel (two others were on Peter Santenello's channel), each time, I am so impressed with his honesty, integrity, intelligence and candor. Not to mention the level of self awareness of where he has been, is now and would like be in the future. I hope that others, from all walks of life, can learn from and be receptive to the knowledge he has gained and shares. Much respect Daniel. Thank you to this series as well for continuing to share these stories of how real people live, not the snippets portrayed in mass media. Everyone has a story and something we can learn from, it is up to us to be open to receive it.
💯💯💯💯
Well-spoken, thoughtful, respectful. Marvellous.
Daniel, thank you for taking the time to share your story.
Keep going, we need more men like you in this world.
Daniel's a genuine deep thinker who cares about important things and people in a sincere, comitted way. Respect
oh ya these gang members are deep lol
Haha .
But he couldn’t remember to use a CONDOM.
@@aarondavid5866 think about rough diamonds and ask yourself if he is or not.
In most cases, gangs replace family and brotherhood, because they aren't loved by their original families.. In most cases. That's why most of them die behind and for the gang they are in. Just saying ALL gangmembers are not intelligent is wrong... Not an excuse, they could make better decisions sure, but it's not always as black and white as it seems, from the outside looking in.
@@nimmha6708 gang members arent the beautiful crazy souls . the are the weak immoral followers . stfu until you know about this cos i do
This was one of the most inspirational interviews I have ever watched. Thank you, Daniel, for your insightful perspective on life and I learned so much from you, especially the end when you said "live life without expectations". It really spoke to me.
LOVE IT..."DON'T DISRESPECT ANYONE...THEY CAN BE THE PERSON THAT SAVES YOUR LIFE OR TAKES IT"
Fact.
Straight up.
I remember first seeing Daniel on Peter Santenello‘s channel! And I found that he had many captivating and thought provoking things to say. Daniel is incredibly insightful and so articulate. I also think it’s really interesting that he has made a conscious decision not to raise his children in the lifestyle that he was once involved. Equally as fascinating to me, is how gang culture and the style in which he was raised is so deeply ingrained in his every day behavior. The tenants of our upbringing stay with us forever, good or bad. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from soft white underbelly and from Mark, it’s about listening to all the stories with an open mind, with compassion, and understanding. Thank you so much for exposing me to stories and people that I would never have the opportunity to see or hear. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
He was interviewed on SWU before? I'm pretty sure this is his first time
Although he had a lot of interviews and podcast on RUclips
? . This is his first time being interviewed by Mark .
Sorry guys! I meant to say Peter Santenello‘s channel. That’s where I first saw him.
@@colli20m oh no prob . Ty for clarifying…
@@colli20m which episode was he on? Would love to check that out
This is a great platform for therapy.. I'm glad you're doing this. Thank you.
Thank you, Daniel. Your closing answer hit me and I needed to hear that. I feel that it’ll save me future frustration in my relationship and I can be a better man. The fact that you’re not in prison is mind blowing. Life can be unfair and that’s exactly how your life started. I’m sure your kids are going to be just fine, they have a great man as a father who learns not just from his own, but from other peoples mistakes. My older brother, same age as you, was a Latin king and it’s only because my dad worked too much overtime. My cousin also joined and it’s because his dad was too much involved in his church and not home enough. My dad gave up his overtime when I was around 10 years old and he kept me outside in nature. Long walks through parks, fishing and whenever I showed interests in sports and music, he kept me busy. Just give your kids your time and pay attention to their interests and they’ll be fine. Great job, Daniel. You should be proud of yourself.
Lots of take aways from this interview but I think my favorite was the concept of not just telling kids “No” but teaching them to think. I realize this is not a new concept and seems like common sense but I also feel the fast pace of society these days gives a quick response and move on. We need to teach our children to think for themselves!
Outwitting the devil by napoleon hill explains this takeaway you talk of because most people don’t “think” they accept other peoples thoughts
@@playah71 Thank you..after your response I ordered the book. Can’t wait to read it. 😊
@@michellemarie08 well if you wanted the hard copy by all means but the full audiobook is on RUclips as well
That was my favorite take away too
That was by far the best interview I've seen. No matter his looks or afilation, he was real and genuine. Life is not easy but being understanding and true will bring you the most happiness.
I'd say his multiple interviews with Johnny are pretty fascinating to you should go check those out. He's got one in particular story about how his homie gave him a whole bag of master keys to I think like 87 Toyota Celica and apparently with one key you can start up any Celica of that year not sure if it was true or not but it was a pretty funny story
Sir you and the production of Soft White Underbelly is Amazing. You showcase the difference in people so we'll and it shows why we are all different. It's just super interesting watching every interview.
This is I great interview. I got something out of it when Daniel talked about expectations towards the end.
He brought up a lot of good points and expressed himself well. Thank you
Fantastic interview by Mark, excellent insight from Daniel. Powerful video.
Your interview was great as well, keep it up 💪
I was just going to comment I thought I had seen him on your page… showing his place & where he tattoos lol too funny then I see your comment 🙌😂😂😂❤❤❤ I knew I recognized his face & his voice 🙃🙂
@@deeniece1287 he's making he's own podcast soon , look up marvelous mindz
@13:29 "pappy always told me, don't get taken out by a nobody!" ok how about don't get taken out at all, this foo (edit @16:25 eooops! sorry Mr. Fool I won't shorten it in the future) seems to think death by some mid tier scrub would be an honorable way to go lmfao. like you say PETER SANTENELLO just excellent insight from Daniel.
@@so.cali_blue oh wow well congrats to him 🎉& I’ll check it out thx for the info 🙂
This is one of the best interviews I've ever seen.
So much insight and truth. You are truly on the right path and have so much knowledge to share. Thank you for your honesty.
This was great. Thank you for the conversation and I'm really happy this man was able to see his ways were wrong and changed for himself and his family. Respect
Very articulate... he should be a motivational speaker for troubled youth... lots of great insights that make you really think...
I think this interview is probably one of the most enlightening and educational ones I’ve seen in a while. They’re all great but this just hit different!!!! Good luck to Daniel and his family!!!!
He is very well spoken. So glad he is guiding his kids to a better life 🙏🏽
This is probably the most real interview I’ve ever heard…kudos to you brother from Alberta Canada 🇨🇦 you keep spreading that vibe 🙏🏻❤️what growth❤️🙏🏻
He could really help change the mind of troubled youths in overlooked communities. Much respect ✨
What an awesome interview. Well thought out man. Respect.
He says...I want to be remembered by the wisdom I taught people! Wow! So powerful
Oh yes super powerful wow oh my

@@rltw2753 sarcastic Stoopid mf . Probably can't even crops the street without being entitled
this guy is a miracle to be so conscious and intelligent despite having such a challenged childhood
He has his on RUclips channel and has been interview in various channels as well. He’s very knowledgeable..
@@cori0122 what’s his channel I’m I terested
What makes you think he's intelligent ?
@@CHEEKTHEPATRIOT it’s called marvelous mindz
He had a lot of time to think about his life when he was in prison for violent crimes
I really enjoyed listening to him talk. Super mellow and eloquent demeanor, humble and not making excuses for anything. He could really help a lot of people.
He made me go "whoa" a few times. He's one of the more intelligent interviewee's I've seen on SWU.
He's attained so much wisdom in his life. Imagine if he had the wisdom at 20 to channel his intellect into something great.
I'm glad he's making himself an asset to the world around him and imparting profound lessons.
Tip of the cap, Daniel.
I learned not to judge books by their cover in prison.
Ive met more than one face-tatted Socrates.
💜 this comment. When you say "wisdom at 20" I feel you mean encouragement. Our Chicano communities lack in role models, not because our men are not valuable, or our women not nurturing, they are, but the realities of poverty and gentrification, of losing our housing, have always been present for our parents aunts and uncles and they were always working two jobs to make the bills. They were not reading to us, they couldn't afford writing courses, piano lessons. All children have potential but it greatly depends on how big their world is, what they're exposed to, what their parents open them up to and encourage in them. Your comment was lovely, have a great day!
Face-tatted Socrates, I'm stealing that one lol
It’s so cute how the fools of the world all fool themsleves and pat themsleves on the back, he’s a disgusting human. No retribution removes that. His victims don’t have any shared opinions you idiots do here in comments. Fuck your cards, pins and cookies and coins, don’t do wrong to begin with losers. What’s this retribution popularity contest you broke people all champion each other with.
Sorry fools but they’re just ghetto trophies, losers awards, scum crowns.
Sorry truth hurts. You’re all gross and disgusting people trying to act nice now and turned around while you all still say you’d do the same shit again if ‘someone disrespected me’ or some typical low brow loser shit, because you’re losers.
If you truly changed that last time would never be sung ever again by you chumps and chimps.
This dude is a total liar and scammer and he’s snowing you all and you all just got played.
Fucking hilarious how you low hanging fruit all pick each other and think you’re at the top 😉🫣🤣🤣🤣
Is this not the same Daniel whos in another popular RUclipsrs video? (Santonello) He's big into latino culture (obviously) he draws and tattoos people? That video if I recall correct did portray him as a gang member, I might be wrong about that though. Good to get the full story, Mark and his team does such a wonderful job in portraying the life and world we live in.
Yes, Daniel is the same man that was on Peter's YTV...the title is "East LA GM 3rd Generation Maravilla.
was looking for this comment
What an impressive man. Very honest, smart and in touch with who he is and what he wants. You can’t chose the family or social position you’re born into. Good luck Daniel.
What impressed you exactly?
Your old lady shoot dope as a kid and did your old man bash her every other morning? He’s probably achieved more than you and had none of the opportunity you had. Just saying.
@@dickmonddickelheimer9452 whats the purpose of your question? Genuine question bro . Detach yourself from you asking what you just asked and just observe
@@dannydee9919 well my question seemed pretty straightforward but I'll try to simplify it even more for you. I have observed nothing impressive about the guy making the absurd tough guy face in the thumbnail so I'm curious as to what other people find impressive about him
@@dickmonddickelheimer9452 i dont think he was trying to impress anyone with a tuff guy face or scare you. Everyones diffrent what impresses u im sure alot of ppl cud ask u the same thing just watch n lern what u can from him if not dont be such a hatet with ur words comes off as your a chump..😊
When homie said a cursed blood line I got chills dawg, I’m from Iraq I can tell u my whole fam been thru genocide, rape, black magic all that, and my life been really tragic, but like he said somebody in my bloodline did some thing evil and I gotta clean my act up, Real reminder right here 💯 shit is deeper than most will understand I been dealing with demonic spirits every night for 5 years now
Yep addictions anger all that etc
Bless you honey. It's late hours in my home right now and I'm praying for your peace thinking of you tonight ❤️
Great interview. Daniel you have accomplished so much and I’m sure you will be remembered as someone that shared his knowledge and experiences with so many people that I guarantee you it has or will make a difference in one youngster and it may save his life and that’s a huge accomplishment. Keep striving to grow as a person and be the best version of you that you can be and good things will come
Great interview and enjoyed it.
This is one of my favorites. What wisdom this guy holds, and great questions to allow him to express that wisdom. I would be honored to know a man like this, with the experiences and perspectives he has.
My brother was a Sureno and was stabbed 17 times in a bowling alley parking lot by a rival gang member when he was 17. He was wearing blue, the wrong color. He joined the Army, put in 3 tours in the Middle East and retired in his 30s. Now he lives like a king.
Really? What year? Wonder what hood?
damn he joined the modern day colonizers army? 🤦🏽♂️
@@mrmakeembreakitdown It was either that, or die on the streets. He got a fat Army pension in his 30s and is set for life. Never has to work again. Lives like a king in Central America.
@@TheTeacherUSC Around 1999, in California. His friend died in the parking lot, bled out. My brother was lucky he lived.
@@a.w.3772 damn, sorry his friend didn't make it. I'm from California also.
What a great interview. I love how he went in deep about everything in detail. I have no questions to ask. 😅
What a articulate individual! Never judge a book by its cover! Wishing you success and peace in your life, Daniel!
That was seriously one of the best SWUs I've ever watched. The intelligence in this man is really awesome. You can tell he still knows his past and its a part of him but doesnt let it define him. A true comeback story and I love it.
Wow, this interview was so different from what I expected! I saw the tattoos and instantly judged. But, from his first words, his voice and his demeanor, I instantly felt kindness.
Daniel, I can’t begin to tell you how proud I am of you. You have come so far from the generation. I’m so proud of you for the man you have become and the father that you are to your children. Keep being strong! You will go far!
You have to let go of judgment......some of the strongest, loyal, caring, outgoing, trust worthy people look like Daniel and me. Life is not easy for anyone, but for some of us life really was not easy.... this is why I dont judge anyone....you never know what someone has been through. I don't know where you are from or if you've ever been to Los Angeles, but if you have not its not easy here....kids do not value life and will kill you over literally nothing. Young girls are pregnant....im talking about little girls! Ages from 11 and up. The scary thing about humans is that we can adapt to just about anything....that being said seeing a drive by and a 8 year old kids brains blown out becomes normal around here believe it or not. It was not until I left Los Angeles for a few months did I realize how messed up Los Angeles is and how messed up I was to think that how we live in los angeles is normal....its far from it....but the people here are some of the best people you will ever meet and the youth here just need to know they are loved and not just a soldier for the hood. I hope you have a great day.
You know he has probably shot rival gangmembers and if he goes to prison he'll definitely have to fuck up people, right...? That's part of the gangster's life in east LA no matter how smart and well-spoken he is...
Maybe this should be a lesson to you to be mindful of your judgement based on tattoos and ethnicity. Intelligence and a good spirit is not bound by physical appearance or culture
@@jimmygunnz5651 good points, but did you read the tattoos on his face and head...? the name of his gang is right across his forehead... 'maravilla' isn't the same as having 'los angeles', 'east LA', etc tattooed there... maravilla refers specifically to the gang, just like MS-13 or whatever... people will judge based on that... no gang in the world does only nice things...
I admit, I saw the tattoos and felt the same way until he started speaking, respect to him
i watched this interview hanging on his every word. very insightful, and a pleasure to listen to a man with a perspective. congratulations on being the best you can be, your legacy will not only be in your children but those around you, thank you for sharing.
This is incredible. Daniel is so intriguing & Mark…as always you are amazing.
This man has cultivated himself, regardless of his challenging circumstances growing up. He is articulate, wise, and streetsmartt. His story carries an amazing message that at its deep core is infused with compassion. It seems to me he is on the way to becoming a teacher of some sort and I'm sure has already positively influenced many people. It is so good to hear more about the roots of gangs and gang life because they really are about community in so many ways.
Yea about destroying communities and families
@@Shaquanda Sure, this is the other end of the spectrum of this form of tribalism.
He's starting he's own podcast soon called MARVELOUS MINDZ check it out
He also co host in ROADIUM RADIO and FREAKY TALEZ with Tony A the wizard
“As much as I want to say, we are protecting the community, we’re destroying the community.” I appreciate his honesty! Overall…. insightful interview, good father, full of wisdom. Good job Daniel 👊🏼
Hello Daniel, thank you for a great interview. I also grew up in East L.A on first and eastern so I know the neighborhood my Mom was a single parent I’m not going to tell you it was always easy for my Mom but my childhood was great. Your a very intelligent Man stay strong be safe God bless you and your family.
This was one of your best interviews. I like how you just let him speak and the wisdom flow.
Daniel is so articulate and a deep thinker. He's 100% correct when he said the example begins at home. It's sad he got dealt this hand of cards from birth. He's such a smart dude, he could have done anything if he had half a chance. Glad to see that he is working to help others and be that voice that others need to hear.
I’ve learned so much from 30 minutes with this man. Thank you so much for sharing your story with us. I wish you all the love and respect.
He's on point with his thinking. I could listen to him talk all day.
He just started his own podcast RUclips channel he’s also a co host on a podcast called “FREAKY TALEZ PODCAST “ where they talk about the paranormal activity he’s really knowledgeable
@@_California Thanks! I found it.
Great interview. I appreciate his sincerity & realness. Honestly it gave me a different perspective on a gang member.
Well spoken and articulate. Great interview. Daniel has gained wisdom from experiences most of us will never have to go through. May we learn from the experiences of others, and realize judging others we know nothing about is no way to live.
Hands down the best interview I've watched on his channel to date. This man had my attention throughout and my concentration never wavered.
It just keeps getting better and better. This is one of the most powerful and most informative interviews yet, and that is saying a great, great deal. Your body of work continues to mirror the incredible people interviewed. If you see this man again, tell him that his spirit, his knowledge and his message ensures that he will live as a positive force in the world forever.
I wasn't sure what to expect from this interview. But I was very pleasantly surprised. Very insightful. Never judge the book by the cover.
By far my fave interview. I loved every single minute of this.
Watch the interview with playboy it’s pretty deep
This was a very moving and inspiring session. Much respect to this person I don’t even know 🙏🏼
When I saw his face pop up in my You Tube feed I rolled my eyes and thought: “What on earth could I learn from him.” I’m glad I listened to what he had to say. He is very wise and has lots of life experience. There is so much truth in what he had to say. Cheers, from Country Victoria, Australia 🇦🇺 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Never judge a book by its cover 🥃
Well said Joanne, and cheers to you from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
And never say never Jack
Sensational interview and some very well thought out responses from Daniel.
Great interview, and great fatherly words. Thanks Daniel.
Probably the most inspirational and beautiful video yet. Much respect.
We need a PT.2!! Loved this interview my respect to this man God BlessYou.
This man is a true G in the realest sense of its meaning. Wise, schooled on respect/ the streets/ the system/ parenting/ and just an overall logical sense of conducting yourself as a man. From this Wood to a Homie it’s nothing but the upmost love and respect.
Unfortunately this daniel guy is conspiracy theorist, alternative history cultist/believer which did not come up in this interview.

Yeah a true g. Great role model for 10 kids. Hey everyone, we will be taking care of these kids but at least he's a real g
Gangsters aren't real men, they are the opposite
Underneath is a frightened little kid
The gang culture generates only death and destruction, it is a disease who destroys society.
Really enjoyed this one.
This is an incredible interview Mark, you ask the best questions. It is so beautiful and eye-opening to see a different point of view.
Such a well spoken and respectable guy. I friggin love these interviews.
Such a good interview! Real and raw. Most of all honest.
You can’t judge a book based on the cover. I didn’t expect how eloquently he spoke. ✌️💚
Well put.
Ted Bundy spoke eloquently and intelligently...
Seriously? Why cause of the tattoos? Hard to believe people are still that ignorant and judge people before even hearing a word they speak. And no I don’t judge people, I’ve been judged for 30+ years so I know how it feels
@@mikebb1000 calm down guy, your getting emotional over someone speaking the truth. Not everyone has the mindset or experiences you do.
@@mikebb1000
Yeah, calm down guy..sheesh.
Wow i dont normally comment but watch but this man is very impressive, I've agreed mostly with the things he has said in terms of morals and respect. He has matured alot. The way he describes love, wow so true
Great interview
Awesome interview! Daniel you speak truth and heart. Thanks for the education!
Very interesting interview! I could listen to him talk all day ! Thank you Mark for one of the best interviews yet! I wish Daniel the best that life has to offer. He would be a great teacher for the young kids that are thinking about going down the wrong path. Daniel you are truly loved, honored, and respected! I want to hug him!!!!
Daniel is an amazing man and father. Life tries to teach all of us, but not everyone learns… it’s not easy at all.
I truly wish him and his babies the best lives. ❤
A teacher!!! We need you , your knowledge, your what your community needs!
Dee let’s not get carried away. He’s a bright, engaging and like able man. And I also wish him the best.
But to say he’s an “ amazing “ man and father - amazing men don’t spend half their lives in prison , or sell and do illegal drugs, or inflict violence on others.
Let’s be clear.
@@michaelcavallacci2945 Maybe you don’t understand the definition of amazing. To her and others,he is amazing. To cite you, “let’s be clear,” amazing doesn’t mean perfect or without mistake. It means impressive or surprising, which he is. Just so we’re clear
@@michaelcavallacci2945 He's never been to prison, You smart "clear" guy
@@shaunadubb2777 You should look up the definition of trash.
He is so clever and insightful and it’s great to hear this man speak. I’m very happy I chose to watch this interview
And thank you mark for making these amazing videos ❤️
This man makes a lot of sense. I wasn't expecting him to be this insightful and modest, great interview.
I have to admit, I was surprised at how well spoken he was. I made assumptions because he’s a gang member. That said, you can’t judge a book by its cover.
A lot of gang members carry them selfs this way . Especially the ones who’ve done time ..
Same...when i saw all the tatts, i thought clown...but hes ok
You judging him says more about you than him.
@@nickbrennan3389 The JUDGMENT you have says more about you than him.
@@cliffkonkle3467 Your hypocrisy is simultaneously appalling and entertaining.
By far my favorite interview. Really felt a connection and a respect towards him.
love your honesty and the love for your kids, love & respect from the uk
This was a great interview. I learned so much. I am his age and grew up in a community with gangs-but I never understood them. I learned so much, and times have changed so much since my high school years. Disrespectful society is our norm now. Anger and hate
By far one of the best ones yet! I'm so glad I heard this man first thing this morning. I will start my day today by wanting to walk a more righteous path god bless you
Wow, that interview was amazing. Especially at the end.
Great interview ! He could help a lot of people and these broken systems.
Best video yet. I know it’s cliche on Mark’s channel, but you can never judge a person just because they look or act a certain or different way to most.
I never comment but I just have to say this is an amazing video. I learned so much listening to this guy. Thanks Mark!
