@Kalshi has just offered up 1 billion to someone who gets the “Perfect Basketball Bracket”

1 in 120 billion chance of winning.

Warren Buffett offered the same thing in 2014. Kalshi have brought it back.

I step into the gym on Jan 1st and what do I see?

The most people I’ve ever seen at the gym at one time… you just know that 50% won’t be in there 2 month from now.

I hope they prove me wrong hahahah

Followers don't determine brand deals.

If you're still choosing creators based on follower count, you're doing it wrong.

According to the CreatorIQ 2025-2026 report, here's what actually matters MORE than follower counts when brands choose creators:

[Chris Smith @ChrisJsmith99]

People said I was wasting my time..

Been proving them wrong.

They still say the same thing to this day.

I say nothing.

Just head down and build something epic within the new wave of creator and brand entertainment

Game on.

[Chris Smith @ChrisJsmith99]

These brands are crushing it on YouTube, but no one talks about them enough...

They've turned themselves into entertainment hubs.

Any brand can replicate this model but make it specific for their brand.

Should we share how this can be done?

@ChrisJsmith99 on the TV promo circuit being dead.

No one's doing chat shows anymore - they're all on podcasts, livestreams, and the Kelsey brothers' show.

Everyone's become their own party now, and the audience just follows the fun.

How my brain things…

Constantly asking Why.. Why.. Why

Curiosity is king/queen right?

The market will tell you.

High views & engagement ✅ The market likes it

Low views & engagement ❌ The market does not like it

Go wide with your content, then go narrow.

NOTE: some content will fail. There will be sh*t views AND THAT IS OK!!!!

Missing these good old days.... It's sad to say... but the love is running out, and it's not been the same.😪
