    @RussellBrandYouTubeUnited Kingdom

    Hello You Awakening Wonder. Thanks for reading this when you could be obediently consuming propaganda. We are living through a time of incredible change and opportunity. Many of the old systems are corrupted and broken and yet a New Spirit is being born among us. For the first time new alliances are forming in the online world that could challenge these old and broken systems. Something ancient and original is Awakening within us. Here we can learn from elders and grow together in Good Faith, flawed but rising together. I'd love you to subscribe to my channel, oh and make sure to hit that notification bell otherwise you won't get told about new videos! Love, Russell X

    @ImanGadzhiYouTubeUnited Kingdom

    My name is Iman Gadzhi. I started this channel in 2015: before I’d found any success - so scroll back to see me trying to be a personal trainer, the harsh realities of dropping out of high school, building one of the leading online advertising agencies, all the way through to me making +$100m by the age of 26: I don’t hide anything.
