- Alright, this is going to be
the most unique Nine University review
you've ever heard yet,
because I'm the owner.
Hi, my name's Kale Abrahamson.
And it's about time that I went
totally Chick-fil-A on
all of you guys, okay.
So here's the deal.
I've tried to keep my personal life
and my business life
separate for far too long,
and it's time to review Nine University
from a different perspective, okay.
So I'm going to start this
off with a Bible verse.
So if this turns you off,
you might want to leave the video now,
because this is going to be,
this is going to get very real.
Okay, so Malachi 3:10 says,
this is the only time in
the Bible that God says,
test me in this.
He says literally, test me.
He says, he says, bring the
tithe into the storehouse
and see if I will not open
the flood gates of heaven
and pour out so much blessing on you
that you will not be able to contain it.
So quick little story
for those of you guys watching.
I'm at church, me and Taylor
are very involved in our church
Amplify Church, shout out
to the greatest church ever
here in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
I've been going for a long time now.
Anyway, I'm in the back
row for whatever reason.
This Sunday, Jason
Howard, the lead pastor,
steps up on the stage and
starts talking about money.
And for those of you guys
who have been to church,
you know, whenever the pastor
starts talking about money,
it starts to get kind of awkward, right?
And so, gosh, this,
this really brought something up in me
and I had to share it with you guys.
'Cause he starts talking about, you know,
bringing the tithe into
the storehouse and how
you actually cannot afford,
you actually can't afford not to tithe.
He's saying that if you
want blessing on your life,
giving to God, giving back to the person
who made all the wealth
in the first place,
is the only way for you to receive that.
And he goes through multiple examples
of multiple business owners at the church
who have given and have
received a hundred fold,
a thousand fold back on their own lives
because they chose to give, right.
And he even goes, he even gets
really real in this message.
And he starts talking
about like, okay, I heard,
I know a lot of you guys are saying, well,
why is the I'm not wearing Yeezies,
but he was wearing Yeezies on the stage.
And he's like, okay,
well, if I give, you know,
why is the pastor wearing
Yeezies on all of that stuff?
And, you know, it goes into detail.
But basically he, it comes
around to the idea that,
you know, the church is
God's only plan, right?
And so, you know, you give to the church,
that's his only, it's his only plan.
And we don't have to get into all of that.
But basically he's saying that
the church is not perfect, right.
Even though it is God's only
rescue plan for the earth,
there are people in the
church, like imperfect people.
And so when you give
your money to the church,
it's not a guarantee that, you know,
it's going to be a perfect situation
that they're going to do
everything right, obviously, right.
And so he's saying, you know, whatever.
He's basically saying that.
And so what that made me
think of was Nine University.
And it made me think that,
of what God has done in our business
and through my life and
through Taylor's life.
So again, really, let me just
back up a little bit here, okay.
Back in, I think it's
two, three years ago now,
this company was not big.
This company was me and Taylor
and Emily and Thomas, Taylor's brother.
And I'm literally in this office,
and the roof is caving in on me, guys.
There's a leak from the
roof, and it is caving in,
and my feet are in a hole in the ground.
And so I'm literally almost
the same height as Taylor
in the videos we filmed there
because the roof was caving in.
That's where we started, right?
And during this time,
the same Jason Howard,
who I just talked about, came
up on the stage and said,
we need to build a new
campus for our city campus
for Amplified Church, it's
going to cost $2 million,
and we need money for it.
And Taylor runs to the back.
I'm not saying this to brag
guys, I promise you I'm not.
He runs to the back of the church,
and swipes the business
debit card for $10,000.
We had no money at the
time, but he just did it.
And we kept doing that.
As the company grew, honestly,
before it was very profitable at all,
it was stretching us a lot.
We kept giving to the
church, we just gave money.
Like money would come in,
and we would just give money.
Give money, give money, give money.
And so we're giving all
this money to the church,
and again, I will explain
why this is not a brag.
Trust me, this is not a brag.
This is all about Him.
Anyway, we started doing this
before it was comfortable, right?
And they build this, they
build the new campus.
It's amazing, by the way.
And me and Taylor are, you know,
like very involved in the
church now because of, you know,
of everything that we've given,
and all the stuff that
we've done, whatever.
The point is this, guys.
When we started to give,
I was still living in a
300 square foot apartment.
Here's a picture of it
in downtown Pittsburgh,
300 square foot running
this Amazon business
out of the apartment and
out of our sinking office.
When we started, our business
has grown a thousand X,
maybe 10,000 X.
So that verse that I talked
about at the beginning,
about how God will pour back in so much
that you cannot even contain it,
has come true in my life.
And this is just, there is no denying it,
whether you believe what
I believe her or not.
Something crazy happened here,
where we got latched on
to literally the favor
and the blessing of God
himself, I'm not even joking.
And that has poured down on our business.
That is, that is it.
And so the reason I bring
this up guys is because
when you look up a Nine
University review online,
it's probably like, when you
walk into Amplify Church.
I was thinking, gosh, this is so similar.
You know, Jason's up there on the stage,
and he's asking people
to give to the kingdom.
And they're like, okay,
why are you wearing this?
You know, why does your church do this?
Why is the music like this?
Why is it like this?
And there are people online
that have criticized Nine University,
and very fairly so, right?
Like they, there was a time when
someone posted a bad review of us,
and I was mad, you know.
I didn't do what Jesus
would have done at all.
I didn't react right at all.
And I went on our Facebook groups,
and I was like telling everyone,
hey, go report this video, this video,
this guy is making a bad
review, let's report it.
Let's take it off YouTube.
Like, that's, I never should
have done that, right.
I ended up making it right with the guy.
I called him and made it right.
But at the end of the day,
my actions were wrong, right.
There's people that claim that we,
like outsourced our program, or,
you know, like had
someone on Upwork do it,
which is obviously completely false,
but I've also probably
not reacted to that well,
'cause it hurts when people lie
about what you've worked
so hard to build, right.
And then there's other,
I'm sure there's other
things that people have said
or said that were scamming people
or that, you know, it's a fake
program or blah, blah, blah.
The only, the answer to that I have
is that we are not perfect.
Me and Taylor are humans, normal people,
and we will make mistakes.
And there will be things
that I need to apologize for
after this, like after
this video goes live,
like I will never be perfect.
But what I will tell you is,
I come from hopefully the same perspective
that Jason, our pastor had, which is that
you have my word as a man, as a husband,
as a business owner, as
a Christian, whatever,
that what we are doing at Nine University
is much bigger, much bigger than me.
It's never been about me and
it never will be about me.
And the second that it becomes about me,
we are going to fail as a company.
'Cause here's what I know about God, okay,
I'm going to get a little more
religious here for a second.
I don't really care, this is who I am.
If you guys don't like it, that's fine.
God doesn't play around
when it comes to money.
If what me and Taylor were doing was a lie
and is a scam and is fake
and it isn't helping people,
and it isn't helping the kingdom
and we're not actually
funneling money back
directly into the
kingdom, through Amplify,
then it's all gonna come
crashing down, it is.
God is not going to be mocked.
God is not going to be, he is not up there
worried about Kale and
Taylor scamming people.
He will just shut us down, that is a fact.
And the fact that I am
putting Jesus's name
on this company right here, right now,
as of this day forward,
means that I am now held accountable.
I've been held accountable
this whole time.
And guys, what I want
to say to you is that
God has poured his
blessing on this company
in exponential ways.
Like I can, I don't want
to make this about like,
oh, is the program good or whatever.
But I would not be here if
we were not helping people.
I mean, I'm just going
to put up a video here.
It's going to be,
all the screenshots are going
to be blurred out, okay.
Because I am not going to make
earnings claims, or tell you guys
that you're going to
make a million dollars.
'Cause that is wrong,
and that's not what we're
supposed to do, okay.
But it's just going to
keep playing over here.
And this is our wall of fame.
Okay, this is people that
have come into our program,
made money on Amazon, and
they posted their screenshots
in the Facebook group.
And then we take those screenshots,
these are just people self-reporting like,
they have a good experience,
they make money on Amazon,
and they posted in the
Facebook group scoreboard.
We throw it up on the wall of fame,
and then we just chart it.
If I looked, guys, I'm
telling you this right now,
if I looked at that wall of
fame and I thought to myself,
man, we're not actually doing anything.
We're not actually, no one's
actually having success,
this is all a big sham.
Amazon's not real, Amazon's
not making anyone money.
Then I swear to you,
on morality purposes only,
I would have to shut this company down.
Because it makes no sense.
I can't sit here and
pretend to be a Christian
and also sell someone something
that is a scam like that, right?
And so guys, it does work.
It does require work on your part.
It's not a get rich quick scheme,
it's not anything like that.
But the fact that I literally
get on a live stream
once a week, twice a week, all the time,
and I talk to these
people that we've helped.
I work with these people every day.
I'm on Facebook messenger
with these people.
And I know for a fact, they tell me,
they literally tell me that
that we've changed their life.
That we've helped them,
that we've done XYZ.
And again, I'm not trying to brag,
but I am saying that as this
is a Nine University review,
I am not perfect,
I need forgiveness for some
things that I've done wrong.
But at the end of the day,
what I do know is that
we are helping people.
We are helping people in a way that
I never could have ever imagined.
I mean, not even beyond my wildest dreams.
That verse at the beginning says,
you will not be able to contain it.
Did I ever think that
we would have, you know,
10,000 plus students globally
or be featured in Forbes and
all of these places that
we've been featured in,
and be literally on the precipice,
on the cusp of blowing it up even further
to help another thousand
X or a hundred X people.
I never thought that would happen.
Me and Taylor were sitting
there in the office thinking,
how do we, you know, maybe
we can help a hundred people.
Right?
But God has taken it, and
he's just blown it up.
It is not about me, it's not about us,
and it never has been.
And I know that with your guys' help,
we are going to take it
to a whole nother level.
So I want to finish out the
story about church real quick,
'cause I know you guys get bored,
it's been a 10 minute video.
I'm at church, it's the end of the sermon.
Jason says, hey, raise your
hand if you're a business owner,
I want to pray for you guys
because I want more blessing.
I want you to get more blessing,
'cause the only reason that
you get blessing, right,
is so that you can give blessing out.
That was the entire point
of the message, right?
And a good example of this is Amplify.
This Saturday, we gave
away 30,000 meals, 30,000.
Here's a picture of me and Taylor
and all the people out
there giving away all these,
like this is real impact.
Like, so every dollar you
spend at Nine University
is going to be used correctly, right.
But anyway, he said, I
want to pray for you guys
so I can give, so you can get more
so that you can be a blessing more, okay.
And so I closed my eyes.
He's praying, blah, blah, blah.
I feel this hand on my
shoulder right here.
And I feel this hand on my shoulder here.
All of a sudden I'm
like, what is going on?
Okay, so I look, I look over there,
and Zoe, you guys have
seen Zoe, she's amazing.
She's on the YouTube channel all the time.
She's praying for me
right here, instantly.
Boom, prayin' right there.
Emily, the first employee
ever at this company,
I am in the back row.
I am in, I am in the top deck
of Amplify, I'm at the top.
And Emily had sprinted from
the front row up to the top,
and within three seconds
had her hand on my shoulder,
and was praying for me too.
And at that moment I thought to myself,
man, I can't keep this to myself anymore.
I can't walk around here acting like
this is just some other comp,
this is some normal company.
(laughs)
This is some normal company.
No, this is,
this is two normal people, me and Taylor,
who literally, I couldn't
be a more normal guy.
I played basketball my whole life, okay.
Taylor sold computers.
And we started a company,
we started to give.
God has blessed this company
beyond wildest imaginations,
and let us reach people
to a degree that we,
that I never ever, ever,
ever thought possible.
So if you want an honest
review of Nine University,
that's what it is.
The review is not of us,
the review is not of, the
review is not of the people.
The only review is this.
God is,
this is a freight train
going in the right direction.
This is a freight train backed
by God almighty himself.
The second that it becomes
selfish, it'll be taken care of.
You won't have to worry about it.
But in the meantime,
while we're still on the right page,
and I promise you, that is my only goal,
is to keep this company on
the straight and the narrow
and pointed toward what actually matters.
We are going to help people,
we are going to change lives.
We are going to funnel this money
back into the kingdom of heaven.
If you don't like that, that's fine.
You know, you can still
work with us, it's all good.
We are going to change your life.
Change your life as a
student, as a client,
as working for us.
And we're also going to take those profits
and we are going to use them for purposes
much, much, much, much greater than us.
And so that's my review.
My review is that God is good.
My review is that I'm not that good.
My review is that I apologize
right here and right now
for anything that I've
done to make anyone mad
or any, anyone, who's just
thought that this wasn't real.
But at the end of the day,
you're not going to stop
this train, so good luck.
If you want to stop it, you're going to
find yourself fighting against
the King of Heaven himself.
So let's go then.
Because I'm super, super excited
for what God's going to do next.
We are not stopping,
welcome to the family
if you're watching this.
If you don't buy into all this Jesus stuff
and all this Christian stuff, that's okay.
Trust me, I'm not out here
saying you need to believe what we believe
in order to be a member of
Nine University, you don't.
But what I do know is
something supernatural is going on here,
and I cannot watch all these other
Nine University reviews without reviewing
the only reason, the only reason
that we have a company and
that we're able to help people,
it's because of that guy up there.
So let's give glory and honor
and praise where it is due.
And I will see you guys in there.
Thank you for watching this.
If you enjoyed this, share it.
If you liked it, hit the like button,
'cause I'm sure there will be some people
that don't like this.
I'm sure this message will not reach
everyone's ears properly.
Just like when a pastor jumps up on stage
and starts talking about money,
he probably gets a thousand
emails the next day and says,
I like your church,
but I don't like when
you talk about money.
You know what?
I like your company Nine University.
Gosh, it's loud.
But I don't like when you talk
about Jesus, well too bad.
We're Chick-fil-A now.
Let's go, love you guys.
See you guys soon.
Subscribe, like all that stuff.
Smash those buttons.
See you soon, peace.
