Yesterday, I saw a video taking over my entire twitter timeline.

Every scroll I made just kept coming back to THIS video.

It’s hitting every major news outlet today.

And it almost made me cry…

Here’s what happened:

Some brain-rotted TikTok kid (let’s call him Chump) walks up to a random guy wearing a Red Baron employee polo (let’s call him Baron) at a Wal-mart in Michigan...

(Chump is recording this on his Meta Glasses ready to pull a prank)

__

CHUMP:

Uhh sir

BARON:

** whips around with a smile on his face **

Yeah?

CHUMP:

Do you know time it is?

BARON:

Oh yeah…

** he starts to pull out his phone to check time **

CHUMP:

** pulls out his phone and plays a fake “ka-ching” sound from his phone **

BARON:

What are you doing?

CHUMP:

Dude, thank you bro, I just took $10

BARON:

Please don’t do this right now

CHUMP:

Uhh but I need it bro

BARON:

Listen, I am not in any mood for this crap right now…

CHUMP:

I just need to buy something real quick

BARON:

You think this is funny don’t you? Are you recording me right now?

CHUMP:

No no..

BARON:

I’m gonna go report you

CHUMP:

Alright bye boss

** CHUMP WALKS PAST THE CUSTOMER SERVICE COUNTER WHERE BARON IS REPORTING HIM **

CHUMP:

Thank you for the $20 again man…

BARON:

Let’s go outside buddy

CHUMP:

Are you for real bro? It is not that big of deal

BARON:

Oh I will destroy you man

** visibly trying to stay calm **

I don’t know if you’re recording me or not

I don’t know whats going on

But it IS a big deal

CHUMP:

It’s not that deep man it’s just a joke

BARON:

You are just a punk ass little kid

CHUMP:

It’s just a joke

just a joke

BARON:

It’s not a joke to me okay…

I don’t have time for this crap in my life

My life is hard enough as it is man…

I got kids at home that went to bed without me right now…

** starts tearing up **

I was supposed to be at home an hour ago…

AND I’M STILL OUT HERE WORKING!

AND I GOTTA GET UP AT FIVE IN THE MORNING AND DO TEN MORE STORES!

SO THIS IS NOT A JOKE TO ME!

CHUMP:

Okay

BARON:

AND NOW I’M GONNA GET KICKED OUT OF THIS STORE BECAUSE OF YOU

NOT FUNNY!

CHUMP:

Okay

I’m sorry bro

BARON:

Not you’re not sorry

You’ve got the smug look on your face

CHUMP:

I’m sorry bro

BARON:

I don’t need this in my life

CHUMP:

I get you

BARON:

NO YOU DON’T!

YOU’RE PROBABLY MAKING MONEY OFF THIS AND I CAN’T EVEN PAY MY DAMN MORTGAGE AND I GOT FOUR KIDS AT HOME!

SO NOT FUNNY!

CHUMP:

I gotchu

i’ma leave i’ma leave

BARON:

You better not be out there when I do leave

CHUMP:

alright you have a good night

THEN CHUMP WALKS OUT OF THE STORE

Turns out…

…the Red Baron-Employee and father of four who got harassed at this Wal-mart by Chump is named Walt.

He lives in Michigan.

And the Twitter-Verse pulled together a GoFundMe for Walt.

Their goal:

GET WALT HOME WITH HIS KIDS!

As of this morning look at this…

$461,000+ raised for Walt!

By random strangers on the internet…

Unbelievable.

I have faith in humanity again.

Cause when I saw this video I just really felt for this guy.

And apparently so did millions of other Americans.

Because Walt is the American people.

Normal guy.

Kids at home.

Working a 12 hour shift for “the man.”

Struggling to pay his inflated mortgage.

Doesn’t get a chance to tuck in his kids at home because he has to decide whether to get the overtime hours so he can clothe them or be at home with them.

As crazy as it sounds…

I LIVED THIS LIFE!

And I keep those memories close to me so I never forget them.

I used to manage car washes.

I’d wake up at 5AM.

Open the store at 6AM.

Work a 12 hour shift in the blazing heat or shivering cold.

Often times barely scarfing down a sandwich for a 15 minute lunch break.

Getting home at 7PM to my newly wed wife.

Eat fast food Chinese and fall asleep on the couch watching Seinfeld.

My brand new wife caught me on multiple times coming home and passing out on the couch instantly still in my car wash polo with no dinner.

Once she tried to wake me up so I can shower and move to the bed…

… and I visibly jumped off the couch freaking out thinking I missed my car wash shift.

She had to calm me down and walk me to the shower.

THIS WENT ON FOR YEARS!

And if I had some punk azz gen z kid walk up to me to pull pranks about taking my cash while I’m busting my hump 60 hours a week trying to pay for my apartment and family…

…I’d be shocked if that dude would walk away with all his teeth 🤣

It’s these memories that I stir back to when I have rough days now.

Because I gotta remember…

Now I work from home.

Making more money than I’ve ever made in my life.

Write emails in my sweat pants.

Have breakfast, lunch and dinner with my wife and three kids everyday.

Play golf every weekend.

Work for myself.

GOD I’M VERY GRATEFUL!

But the path to get here was brutal…

It’s the exact reason I opened my CopyCreator Club last year.

Because I wanna help people like you be able to create an email-based business not so you can get rich, but so you can be wealthy.

Rich = money

Wealthy = time, relationships & money

I want you at home with your family.

I want you doing something you love.

I want you paying your bills stress free.

I don’t care about the mansion, Rolex, yacht, buggati or whatever else these punk kids brag about nowadays.

(Actually, the Rolex is fire but that’s for another day 🤣)

I just want you to work less, from home, and make enough money to enjoy life.

If that sounds like something you’ve been chewing on for a long time but have no idea how to get there as a copywriter…
