📺 Grind With Jordan

🔴 Episode 5: “Click, Record, Upload”

📅 Summer 2006 – Age 20

🥱 The Day After the Fight

Jordan woke up sore but smiling.

He looked at his bruised knuckles and whispered:

“I really did it. I beat Pablo.”

He turned on his old Dell laptop. As he stretched, he noticed a trending site mentioned on a forum:

“YouTube is the new wave—upload your videos now!”

Jordan blinked.

“Huh… record myself? Share fitness? Fight clips? Training?”

He grinned.

“This could be it.”

💻 Jordan Creates His YouTube Channel

He opened a Gmail tab and registered:

Email: thebeastd.jordanfit@gmail.com

Password: GrindHard2006!

Phone Number: +1 (213) 555-9832 (fictional placeholder)

He opened YouTube and clicked "Create Channel."

Channel Name: TheBeastD

Profile Picture: Shirtless pic, taken last month after his gym pump.

Banner: Bright red background with a huge white “SUBSCRIBE” logo.

Description:

“This is the best fitness YouTuber ever. Keep watching if you want tips, strength, laughs and more. 💪🔥”

Jordan scratched his head, a little confused.

“Okay… banner’s weird but fine. Let's try this thing.”

📱 Jordan Records His First Video

He took his Android phone, set it on a chair, hit record:

“Hi guys.

It’s me — Jordan Miles Cole.

I’m 20 years old. You probably don’t know me, but last night… I beat a dude named Pablo in an underground fight. Y’all might see that on the streets.”

He smirks.

“I made this channel to show fitness, workouts, my life as an athlete, maybe some crazy challenges. Like, 1000 pushups or living like a boxer for a week. I don’t know yet, we’ll build it up.”

“This YouTube thing, I just found out about it. It’s new. It dropped, what, 2005? Just a year ago?”

“Oh, and if you’re wondering about my height and weight — I’m 5’5, 124 pounds. That’s about 56 kg.”

He pauses. Then grins.

“You wanna see how I look?”

He pulls off his shirt and flexes.

“I’m fit, right? Maybe not big—but this? This is progress. And I’ll keep going.”

“Hit that like button. Subscribe. Tell your grandma. I don’t care—just don’t miss the grind.”

Then, he winks and jokes:

“And ladies… hit my—uh… never mind. Haaa!”
