Purpose in the Youth

Gianni DeBernardo and Kyle Devore are recording artists that work together as a duo called gianni & kyle. They recently wrapped up their first tour opening for Hoodie Allen in 30+ cities across the US and 9 cities in Europe. Their plan for the rest of 2019 is to keep putting out music that they enjoy creating and hopefully lock in their first headlining tour come this fall.

Kyle was born in Long Beach, CA and moved to Annapolis, MD when he was in 6th grade where he & Gianni were both raised. It wasn’t until their freshman year of South River high school where they connected during a tech class. Fast forward to their senior year, both making music, Kyle reached out saying he was a fan of Gianni’s music. Hesitant at first and wanting to focus on a solo career, Gianni eventually gave into the idea of forming a duo.

Knowing college would buy them more time to work on their careers, Gianni went on to study at the University of Maryland and Kyle went to Rowan University. After one year, Kyle left school and started working full-time. After Gianni finished college and they performed their first show, they packed their bags and moved to Los Angeles with their team. The first 6 months were rough as they were sleeping on friends couches and studio floors but with time they were able to get on their own two feet.

Now at a great spot in their career, they’re excited for what has yet to come. Aside from music, they hope to to push themselves to grow into all around entertainers and maybe one day do sketch comedy.

In this Episode gianni & kyle discuss the importance of connecting with fans, what has changed the most about them since working with each other, the benefits of understanding the entire process of the music industry, why now is the time to take risks and having the mindset that this is going to work.

The fear of missing out sucks. We all have those moments we wish we could be here, we wish we could be there but it’s usually impossible. Unless you have a Black American Express credit card with unlimited credit, you probably have to pick and choose between what you say yes to and what you say no to.

The no’s have to come more than the yeses and if we’re being completely honest, it’s a bummer.

We see everyone “living it up” at that birthday party, that networking event or in this case at Coachella but sometimes we just need to ignore it. We need to not get so consumed in living other people's lives and just live ours.

Today I'm sharing out a conversation I had on The Healthy Hustle Podcast presented by MATI Energy back in February with Jacob Burt. We cooked up some high quality podcasting content in the bedrudio where we flipped the script and Jacob interviewed me!

99.99% of the content I produce is about other people and as much as I enjoy creating it, I think it's equally important that you guys + gals get to know my story, where I come from, early lessons I learned as a child, what my college years looked like, the process/inspiration for launching Purpose in the Youth etc.

If there is any big takeaway from this podcast it's that turning a passion into a reality can be done by any of YOU! Beneath this beard of mine is just another person who is trying to make a living doing what he loves. Hopefully my story / journey inspires someone out there. Just know... THE BEARDED MAN CANNOT / WILL NOT BE STOPPED!

Georges Niang is a 6’8", 230lb power forward for the Utah Jazz. If there is one thing that has changed the most about him since entering the NBA in 2016, it’s realizing what truly matters to him is living and experiencing life with the people that mean the most to him.

Born and raised in Metheun, MA, he knew he wanted to be an NBA player since he was a child. Not having any professional athletes come from his hometown, he wanted to be an example that it was possible. Being raised by biracial parents heavily influenced him in a positive way as he was able to live and see the world from two different perspectives.

He attended Titlon School in New Hampshire where he was a 3 year starter, 2 year captain scoring 2,372 points. Getting offers from University of Iowa, Providence College & Texas A&M, he committed and played at Iowa State. After graduating, he entered the 2016 NBA draft where he was selected as the 50th overall pick from the Indiana Pacers.

After 1 year with the Pacers and a year playing in the G-League for the Santa Cruz Warriors, he now has a standard contract with the Utah Jazz where he rocks number 31. Taking his career step by step, developing routines and being proactive about his health has been crucial in getting him to where he is today. He says the key to staying focused and calm during games is being present and doing his absolute best.

In this Episode George discusses success isn’t a place it’s the journey, recognizing that our time is valuable, don’t ever think you can’t achieve something and why you should always put your best foot forward.

Have you ever felt anxious? Overwhelmed with the amount of tasks on your “to-do” list? Have you found yourself being stressed out before you could even roll out of bed? If you’ve check off all three boxes look no further… do I have a product for you!

Good news, what I’m about to sell you is absolutely free. All that I ask is that you share the message and spread it to someone in need.

Lots of people say to live your life one day at a time and although I completely agree and have preached this concept in my content before I want to take it a step further.

Live your life one breath at a time. That’s the only thing both you and I can control. This moment. Not what has yet to come, not what has happened yesterday… this very moment.

What is scary is that we could spend our whole lives never actually being in the moment. Constantly thinking about what’s next when everything we have ever dreamed of or worked towards is right in front of us right now.

Mike Squires is a director, filmmaker, photographer & music producer. While in NYC recently, he saw a photo he had taken and a logo that he had designed on a billboard in Times Square. For him it was a reminder that anything is possible if you put your mind to it.

Born & raised in Stamford, CT, his parents supported his creative endeavors from day 1. Working a landscaping job all summer while he was 16, he saved up enough money to buy used camera equipment. Just two months later, he was on stage shooting Big Sean. One of the hardest moments he faced in his childhood was having his house burn down and losing everything. Instead of letting this experience hold him back it taught him a valuable lesson, that everything is replaceable.

Although he knew he wanted to follow a creative career, he attended Norwalk Community College to appease other family members. With time he decided to drop out as he was beginning to get bigger opportunities offered to him. In the past he’s shot videos for artists Sammy Adams, Yonas, Devvon Terrell & two previous guests of this podcast Cam Meekins (Ep 72) and Abstract (Ep 96). Whether it’s through visuals or music production he aspires to inspire the people that support him.

In this Episode he discusses why we should never stop learning, his favorite quote “if you do nothing, nothing happens”, the small wins add up, how to build confidence and why we need to believe before the world does.

For too long I have overthought putting out written blogs or as I like to call it, written CONTENT, because I simply did not think I was good enough. For someone who does whatever he wants without respectfully caring what people have to say about it, it’s a bit shocking.

Today that comes to an end with my first blog post since 2017 titled, I’m Done Giving A F*ck in my new blog series, Bearded Man Thoughts.

I understand people are busy and are on the go so I wanted to record myself reading it out loud which you're not hearing today, enjoy!
