Podcast #3 Finding Your Passion in Life and The Power of Music with "Ezzi" Hirsch

[Music] famous super down honestly III thought beyond you but I always thought when I was a kid I never tried rapping or just me I always thought like it was a big deal then one time I actually sat down with a pen and paper and tried for like two hours or something to write a rap or a song or something every time it was and I was like holy this is hard I can't my brain doesn't go how do you come up with the inspiration first of all before I ask you how you come up with your with your materials and stuff which are amazing and Dee thank you I just wanted to see personal Locker since I've to you for helping actually coach your vids get on the picture out there becoming big because your video was actually our biggest viewed video we're not that famous so help us get a famous subscribe and like subscribe that helps our that helps us out alive you can subscribe there helped us a lot but but you helped us out a lot because we made a music video together sure yeah I came back from circus and my buddy Ellie set up he was singing tham blah all day and I'm like whoa what's this Temba whatever and he's like Oh Kathy this guy as he was seeing it and it was crazy and likes to tell me this song comes up and he told me this song a bunch of times and I'm like oh my gosh I got to make a music video and we just did it and originally we got I think we're almost up to 10,000 hits which is big for me you know I'm not a big famous channel but yeah but hopefully but that really like a lot of people got to know us from that and in our channel has gotten a lot bigger because of that brush em so I really you know owe you a lot of cars to type for the talent that you have and that that you allowed to share it with our channel and make me big so how do you come up with this crazy inspiration what is your secret it's a good question I feel like when like when I write my songs it's not like this whole big it just it just comes like I have you know whatever inspired let's say in emotion me or I was just thinking about something I just feel like you know I'm it's a good way to express express myself and I would just go and and write and when I first started writing you mentioned that you had the paper in you when I first thought I was really bad and it took me a while and then you kind of learn you listen to other people and you kind of learn you know how do your rhythm rhythm had a pen things your style also yeah for sure for short so you know inspiration comes from all all over the place for me the driving force of inspiration is just music just melody before even lyrics that's just that's how you start that's always the big question yeah do they start with their music or they start with the lyric first start lyrics and then trying to fit a music track in there yes that's all the big senior thing so what do you do the music first I think the inspiration comes from music or I'll hear a song or a melody and I'll be like wow this is inspiring and then alright and it's possible that I can be playing basketball and be like oh clever line just came up to me and I'll like record it you don't I mean I don't write I just record right let's go yeah yeah I just like take out my phone and like I could be like anywhere could be like in a car and it over but but yeah that's just like I would you know thinking lines I think yeah main inspiration for writing comes from I just feel like music speaks to me a lot so like I just want to go ahead and like express myself somehow some way you can do it so that's where that's amend this I want to say it to you that the power of music is so powerful you have no idea i i've almost gonna I'm not gonna say I'm from today because I mean I don't know but I get that you one thing for sure when I was a kid it is so amazing that I was hooked on to Josh Ellis when I heard such nice once in somebody's car is like oh my gosh okay I'm gonna cut you off yeah a family Jewish bands of all good absolutely like undoubtedly it's good I love I love just whenever someone turns on shotshells on my shoot I got a do chuva man no I'm like can you shut that off if you're Blake Josh Ellis I'm like oh no like I shop like oh and I get that feeling and it's it's they don't realize the people that make shadows they don't realize that what they did they you know what I mean like how many people because musics a very powerful source it goes really deep in the emotions which connect its energy that really if it's channel to the right but if you put good lyrics and you have good ideas that you're portraying and putting that into that energy that hits the deep emotion you're hitting on some deep notes there some deep connections and if you channel that ty Shem you could be driving you could be walking you could be doing anything and it gets you and you're like oh my gosh I got I gotta get going in life I gotta get sure okay I'm telling by my first ascent water Barry water Barry both of them are they're gonna have two boys oh my gosh it's so crazy I was um yeah I was actually an initial of rock there for me it's like the biggest the biggest rock star like um diehard fans every single CD that comes out I like it before I hear it right yeah I like that see people the style change do they I don't care I have a contract which no matter what I'm good with like so so anyways I was diving at a show for aqua and one of the people from shellshock you know such a big fan and he's like yeah I'm a big fan I always yes I you know they're amazing they're they're my like heroes yeah but it's such a group on them such a yeah oh yeah they're Wow an even ten blah it's I I probably I this tip try to always do this whenever you listening to me only listen to good music that will bring you to the next level obviously but just when you're listening to music you could just listen to music and be vibing and it's just energy I'm just feeling good about and then you could just take a next step it's so easy to do I always try to do this it's just like think like even like Tambe 50 blot like I I'm like Oh Kamara Wow like do it I could do it just the next up like Hashem like like stiking or positivity happiness I don't know just take it like connect it internalizing yeah connect it to something don't just let it be random like in your brain just this is cool energy or like this it's like as I'm working out you know if I lose I need to tell your shoulder presses yeah sure just connect it to the next level just a little bit I ask you too much just like you know just take it to the next level a little bit just think of the lyric and it's like a mushroom it repeats itself there are certain types of moosers which repeat themselves again and again and again so it's not about necessarily going so deeper deeper and deeper and new material and new material even if you just take one phrase that keeps repeating itself again and again like a lot of lyrics and some costar are very repetitive you know moysha MS Moishe MS Bucyrus IMS Toyo's MS I'm the Evan of a super here we know anybody it just repeats itself you're just like I'm Davin - yo man with evolution you keep repeating it's like a meditation almost and you could be working out and listening to and you're but you're you're in grainy certain concepts that's why I'm so into Jewish music cuz it even if like oh what's the difference they sound similar but just those words just the meaning what they're trying to hit the notes they're trying to hit the deep notes that the person writing the songs trying to hit and stuff that's huge like that that's that can change you you could be working out and changing your life that's my opinion yeah sure no that's that's you just you just some ten-block pretty deep Temba by Samara I thought that's awesome it's like yeah what's your favorite line on for the Wi-Fi to go here he's a spinoff yeah he's getting he's getting from Debbie as I mean what that go good times coach for babies Bertha Shem yeah yeah okay eyes right here's the question of the day as a creative person okay there's two types of people there's the regular type of person and then there's the creative so we have like the lawyers we have the you know the people that have these essentially they have like okay you go to college and then you get this job and it's much more set out and then you have the creatives and the creatives sometimes have it or almost always have it a lot more difficult but you know what you need both without the creatives you wouldn't you want to take things to the next level the world would just be stagnant you need the creative people to take it to the next level they're the people that that don't necessarily go with the system you know they're out isn't there thinking out of the box and they come up with crazy ideas and you know create artists like music videos and something that but one of the things that I know this from experience the toughness of a creative person is that you are going by definition if you want to be a creator you are going to get rejected you are going to fall on your face you're going to fail things are not gonna work out things will not look steady it's gonna be scary and I know this from experience you're gonna get tons of nose you're gonna get tons of rejections tons of people saying whoa your work really stinks and stuff like that you know if you just take the regular path that you know and you know go to school and go to hood and like that and right so so there's not that much risk you know what I mean you're not looking at so much reject your doing what you need to do you're gonna become a doctor probably you know it's a lot more safer when you're a creator though it's like oh my gosh like you're not sure like you don't know will this ever work out will it none and it's like 50/50 sometimes you just gotta jump into it for it and a lot of times you just you jump into it and you fall on your face you know what I mean and it's tough and you have to keep getting back up but how do you have you go about you know being a creative person but dealing with the rejections dealing with failures and stuff like that what is your secret to success so that's a great question that's an amazing question I have a lot to say on this topic actually okay lot to cover deep yeah first off I would just want to throw out there um when it comes to rejection when it comes to like you know the bit like the biggest I think the biggest roadblock in anybody's success is fear failure that's that's that's the number one thing like how did you proceed well yeah that will stop you from doing anything you know just because if you're a failure and I've come to learn that like okay you know it's okay to fail it's okay to try it's okay to look stupid even you know now it's tough because no one likes looking stupid no one likes to fail right no one likes getting hate up but these are things that you kind of put behind you once you kind of find out what you really want to do and that's the point I wanted to get to if you're doing what you're doing because of a specific outcome I'm liking this I am liking this yeah good you're doing what you're doing because a specific outcome or you wants them to come out you want money you want fame you want whatever it is to come out of those whatever you go and you're only doing it because you want the end game mm-hmm then you will never be able to really successfully take the road and fail and fail and fail eventually I'll knock you down and you won't get up mm-hmm why because you're not doing it so to speak lish ma you're not it's not about the actual journey when you realize that the journey is everything Wow there's no end you realize there is knowing that that that end that fairytale work now I'll be rich and I'll be list now I'll be then I'll be great everything would be good you know I mean I'll have a pronounced only that picture is fake it doesn't exist right it's because there's always gonna be another and you sign in another test so much the road the journey of the road is everything and we have like the same rain yeah nothing yeah for sure it's that is everything so when you realize that like you know a lot of people's they lose beauty in their struggle but when you realize that the struggle like some people say there's beauty in this struggle I want to go a little bit further and say like the struggle is the beauty because like that is that is everything is the struggle is the building is a journey the journey is everything it's not the end you know I'm saying so when when you realize all that so what is rejection what's reality that that's just part of it it's it's it's part of the plan because that's not that's the end game isn't my motivation my motivation is to be in the now to do this because of this and the passion I thought was gonna lead to to me saying that I think if a person doesn't have actual passion for it he'll burn out quickly and rejection will put him to the ground but if person is do let's say you make videos or you make music if you make music because you really want people to hear it why so you want like I don't know you know the perks of like you know free stuff and then I think eventually you'll you'll learn how far but if you do music because you absolutely love that's just you you have a message I just yeah but not you you have an art that yeah I just need to express myself it could be to myself and only myself don't care of you in terms of obsessed with it Wow so then you will always laugh because you're doing what you actually love to do so somebody feel ya failure is gonna happen I'm doing what I want to be doing you know so that's key I think it's not about cuz you know you see a lot of people in life they bounce around like from job to job to this and everything I think it's because I never found real love and that specific thing and if you don't have love another thing enough things are gonna push you down right I knew me like okay I'm burned out what's going on it's gone only things are gonna be constant are things that you have you develop a passion for things that you really care about so you're saying creatives and artists and things like that you know there is the regular mainstream college school route for whatever reason I didn't write choose that route I just had a different different idea about life but I think for creatives especially is to really you know understand that this is what this is what drives you this is your life it's a bit it is your life it is it is you right and it's not just about the end game because if it's about the end game then you will fall right you will fail you're not gonna it's impossible like there's a guy named Gary Vee I'm not like I'm not a big I'm not really into this motivation but someone like sent me a clip of his who said that like you know if you doing it for X Y & Z you will always fail because you will never get to that point because that there's too many things in life that will knock you down before them but if you're doing it because you love to do it okay who cares who cares I got a knockdown I'm loving to do this I had a bad day too but I love making music so I'm gonna go back and write some and make some music wow who cares this song well you know I mean like this video they sign into a who cares I like making videos right so I will make me just because I don't I like to do it so I think that's the key to dealing with rejection once you realize that's what is reject cares rejection like oh I don't care I'm not doing it for you I'm not doing it for your approval do me because me it's my passion and that's the only way you'll succeed and that's all you see people with oh it could be like a lahar that happened to be I succeeded because I follow my passion right yeah Wow like there was a famous singer right named Alanis Morrisette she I think she was in the 90s she said I wish I was here this she said that um I think she got to the top she like another one song in a country or something and she said um I'm here now but I like I'm looking for all that stuff that the heck on top of the mountain but nothing's here you know right what's here so you realize that you know you climb and you got there but hey it's all about the journey so that the journey is a journey is itself that's everything as well that's so crazy you know there was this I I follow person the way out how I learned how to shoot videos and everything is I watch certain you know people that teach you how to do this and there's a certain group where they started from the bottom with nothing and they made videos of themselves progressing and they showed how they learn how to do their that's how he became big stuff you know and one of the things that he said is that people ask them like how do you go through this it's a tough process when you look at it you know you don't know how many times you get rejected and there's so many different opinions about what type of videos people like you know you have your video that you like and you have a great idea that you think is gonna be funny and then people are like dude that's the stupidest thing I've ever seen you'll get you'll see the like the comments on YouTube you know sure Wow stupidest video ever or something and you're like what I thought he was good no and and then you ask people's opinion and they're like no actually I didn't like that video so much no like I thought it's kind of weird I don't really get it or something and your heart you know when you first thought that can't be it has to be you know it what he used to say is that if this is your pet like he was talking about getting into Hollywood how do you get into Hollywood you know you know how much competition there's it's wild it's crazy but he said like this he said you could get into Hollywood if you want if you're willing to do it because this is what I have to do I can't do anything else I can't live like that's what is that I can't live without it like if you're willing to live under a bridge to get this thing done because I won't do anything else I won't have a life this is what I need to do this is my lip I love doing this for it not because like you're saying not because I have to get it I need to do this and I don't care I'm gonna do whatever its I will live under a bridge I will sell my house live on their bridge in order to show these videos if you're willing to do that you you have a very very good chance you're getting it your way through yeah right it's just right whatever whatever level of success and we want to define success but you will succeed in what you're doing for sure exactly I'm huge into like what you're saying is is to have a passion for what you're doing to find your passion to find your talents and figure how that could bring help out the world how that could that's huge how you can save the world I you can make the world a better place you know and and find that passion don't necessarily like okay I'm getting older so now I need a job and I need to make yeah I can't take that I agree 100% you have to have a job and you have to support your family as though but that's not where it starts for me yeah there's that I'm so against that where it starts just okay what talents what tools do I have what did I Shem give me and what beautiful piece of art am I supposed to create in this world that nobody ever created before oh and then I need money so then I got to figure out how to use that to also make money because I do need money to support my family and and you know but that's a side thing like money is not the main goal of this world it's so sad to see I know many many people it's about money it's so said I know very talented people have such great talents and are so good at things and they could have been tremendous but they're obsessed with money for the sake of money because they need money and they need to be successful because that's what society says it's more than just supporting a family by the way is like success business people look up to me and that's a bunch of baggage who are you what are your tools what can you create that nobody ever created you create something beautiful and then you'll figure out what that how to make money do something that's you don't just be somebody else or what society portrays a success and stuff like that like you could end up very very depressed that then in life a guy ends up his his life and he got all the money and he got everything like holy crab I never did anything with myself I never used my tools of who I really am my unique personality to do something I just did what everybody else was doing the world doesn't need more of what other people all start doing they need you now it doesn't it doesn't necessarily mean that you have to be doing something crazy didn't you get on ice cream shop and be your unique self you know you might give ice cream to people different than ever anybody else did you know you gave it what that specialist smile that you make the few person feel like a hundred bucks like Wow have a great day you do it like nobody else does it that might be you I don't know maybe that's your specific tool you're able to make people smile with ice cream in candy and you know how to give it to them with a compliment or make the day and like own a candy shop and make people's lives different or whatever it is I don't know everybody's got their own thing I'm not saying everybody's got to be a crazy movie yeah video or music or I don't know you know look but just look honestly at yourself brainstorm sit down with a piece of paper see what are my talents who am i what am I good at do I have a sense of humor do I might consist in and you know look at all those different edges just map it out say what can I use all these things to create that would be so special to the world and then when you're done creating that beautiful picture say okay how do I attach this to Parana saw so I could support my family because that's also a necessary component okay that's that's the path that I take and you know that seems like what you were saying also but but it's it's exactly like what you're saying like find your passion that has to be you're passionate about what you're doing it's so sad that people do jobs that they don't like just to get to money or to get the fame but I'm sure when I'll get there then it'll be good enjoy the fight enjoy the doing what you have doing you know and and and yeah it's funny we said it also lat the last podcast we were saying that the thrill of a roller coaster was very real ghosts are scary or is it always a roller coaster exciting right because there's somebody that's not going on the roller coaster and hey and you say why don't you go on roads because I'm scared but then there's a guy paint to go on the roller coaster and you ask him why you paint Takano goes is it cuz I'm scared you're like wait one second why are you away from the Republic oh dear and you're going on the roads because you're scared so scared is an energy and it depends how you channel that energy if you channel it too you could channel it to get me away from the thing and say I hate life and all that and you could channel and say oh my gosh I love this like embrace it yeah this is where I'm at like I feel life when I go on that roller coaster and I'm facing my fears gives me energy I keep thinking in my life am I not alive I like that I'm facing my fears I'm I'm going at this stuff I didn't and that could be as you're doing your your crazy mission in life and you're you know like you're stirred your dreams when you figure out what your dreams are even though there's gonna be tons of friction and there's gonna be tons of rejections and failures and stuff in that but you could grow you could learn how to love that I love it bring it on more more rejection I love because I'm doing what I need to be doing and I know that I'd map myself out I I mean a clear picture I'm confident I know what I need to be doing and I'm doing what I love and I don't care like bringing this that's good that helps me grow I like to get rejected because that will make me bigger that friction is gonna build me stronger muscle you know what I mean absolutely break me down again and again I like it free get on this is fun it's like a roller coaster like I might die good good good that makes it fun the whole thrill is that I might die yeah like that in that place that I might die that's where I feel energy power you know that's who I am I'm the guy that went through times when I didn't know I would succeed and I push dude that's who I am the guy that pushed through that's my unique power my myself and I could feel that energy as I'm going through it and actually learn how to kind of enjoy it that's how I look hippy yeah that's huge that's huge I always do what you want to do I think I think that's key is always a really you know finding a passion and and living life to you know that I believe if you have a love for something you know then it's probably something you should be doing with that right God made everyone loved it things surrender somebody could happen and really maybe add to this world extended create a piece of beautiful art for this world so yeah yeah he gave it to you for reason yeah yeah just one of the the one thing I joined that is is is kind of like a tip we I give a seminar in the yeshiva would you know everybody you know you've gone to it sure okay bye so I do this like three-day seminar thing I saw a motivational seminar self grow make sure you go change the world yeah make sure you go okay and one of the things that we do I got this from revealed of gliese are actually make sure you go to his seminar to possibly use great seminar on and one of the things that he taught was but we make it fun to get rejected for homework right you got a go get rejected five times energy like we were so scared of getting rejected and being vulnerable you don't realize how that governs your life so much you so much like there's so many places where you're not willing to go and you could become huge in those places but you're not willing to go there because I might get rejected what will he think of me what will he save me and that's a bunch of bargain it doesn't make any sense that we have these weird fears so go to those places and start making it like fun like let's go get rejected five times let me go ask somebody if I could can I borrow your car to go to LA from New York no ok I'm sister thanks and then walk away awesome yes I only got four more to go most of my work it's funny because I did that in the seminar and then when I was it just it translated into life when I get rejected I'm like awesome I'm almost on my hoard for the tape I do it even not a seminar that's right I have that same thought process when people reject me you know like if I'll get like a comment or something on a YouTube video is anything cool like Austin if somebody rejected me yeah like it translate into fun amazing that same energy that could take you down translates into oh my gosh this is where I'm at this is that makes me powerful thank you like that makes me bigger I'm able to use that friction to like to withstand that in the end and become bigger and like that's who I am yeah but it becomes fun amazing yeah okay but don't you know don't do anything yeah become enough then take what the grants all please yes okay if I know last question before close here today is a Z what impact would you like to bring to the world with your life wow it's a big one that's a big one okay we ask big questions is not my game tense no I only live once living once we gotta make this a good one so what impact are you going to bring into this world with your life you see what he has to say do you see something crazy I think I think what would be my biggest goal you know is you know this is like a dream of mine but I think the biggest goal would be to you know I think people always talk about changing the world changing will change the world you will never change the world unless you change yourself because the world is made of a bunch of yourselves that's what the world is there's just billions of yourselves so so if you don't change yourself the world will never change because you're not changing and then it's a chain it's not changing if you change yourself for the better you'll have an impact another person so let's say you become a better person chances are the guy next to you is going to reflect that of course because um if you're a bad person and you guys just will both continue to you know not really grow but if you're growing and some of then generally someone's gonna latch on to that right so I think just to you know for for people to see good in people and just to be good to be happy be nice I think being kind is so key you know I think world like you know world change and all that stuff comes literally just from you trying to be a nicer person and a and a more kind person if like I can ever change you know change the world or whatever I think it'd be just for for people to be nicer nicer to each other because you being nice has an impact on that next guy and that next guy can change purely because of what you did to him you know I'm saying people always talk about like oh this guy did this for me and I'll never forget it and always you know people have like real hot cars sort of you know stories that like they'll do anything they'll run into a brick wall for this guy because he did that one thing then you see how much an effect it has right being kind of somebody so I think just being a person changing yourself to be a more kind nice person just like you know native you know hmm that changes the world much more than you think much more because that changes you and that's gonna change the people around you and the people around you are the people that you know fill this world you're right and then they're gonna change because they are chain and that boomin it's a chain effect right and it's because everyone's being good to each other so I mean you know that would be an amazing thing if people can you know just try to be a little bit more kind more you know more sympathetic and see the good make people feel better I think you know change starts right there so yeah I mean that would be like the dream impact is like you know having people do good and I think a lot of good comes from people doing good right and that's you know human beings can really tap into they're saying it starts with yourself yeah I think it starts with yourself being so if people can you know work on you know being nice office I have to work on everyone you know it was gonna work on things but to try to be a kind good person I think that's the best step you know starts with you and like I said that 7 billion use that's that world so why is you know the rest of the world live in the near they're not you know the same emotions same feelings you know so and everyone has those everyone could work on themselves so if everyone works on themselves you know that boom the world Wow yeah perfect sounds like a plan sounds like a plan all right as he
