getting my life together (by doing nothing) | solo traveling
heyamy and jenny love ur content man been watching you videos since FEW DAYS i think u need few keypoints through the captions and add music sound effects and improve ur colour grade. its bit appealing it can reach more audience. ankush here i specialize in video editing and have experience with projects similar to yours. I'd love to help enhance your videos content. I'd appreciate your feedback
Well Enjoyed the video🙌 I'm not really sure if it is the best time to ask but, I was wondering if I can help you create better distribution through your videos.
You actually do need a man. If men disappeared for a month, you would all die off. Whereas the contrary is not true, eg. women on Iceland went to protest and the economy actually became more efficient

dude your value significantly drops as you 'experiment' + you look for the same stuff. You have an attraction floor, ie. someone on your level minimum, look for survival value traits, a guy who has strong frame and passes frame tests etc.
I love this series! I watch it like it’s a TV show. 😄
I loved your video and found your presentation and reflections so helpful for those planning to begin a similar journey. I'm building a readiness checklist and reminding myself "there's never a perfect time", "the biggest risk is not taking a risk". Your messaging about courage compounds on itself and asking oneself would you rather risk security or risk losing the inner fire or inner drive really resonated.
I quit my job Last week Need to explore life more
how do you pick and choose which startup to join? Especially in the early stages?
This is really the best series, I'm going through my founder journey like Jenny currently but I also really love seeing how Amy goes through her day at her job, the differences are great to see in one video
love this series!!
First!!! Go go go Amy and Jenny! This series is so inspiring. I wish both of you best of luck and achievements in your respective journey! 🥰🥰🥰
Really fun event, looking forward to the next one!
It was so good meeting you and your partner, Sam!! Thanks again for coming out 🫶
Thank you for sharing! I’m a first gen as well. I can relate to your experience on many different levels, even though we probably had different upbringings. In my family, it is expected that I help take care of my grandparents and provide financial support to my parents during their retirement. While my parents have accumulated some wealth over their careers, the fact that they are overseas leaves me uncertain about what the future holds. I often find myself asking the question: If the world were to end, do I have the financial means to support myself and my family? Sounds ridiculous, but it’s true. I also have the desire to eventually start something on my own, but I grapple with a sense of guilt that I would "abandon my family" to pursue my own aspirations. I appreciate you sharing your story, and I am incredibly proud of what you have accomplished! Looking forwards to more of your videos!!
Hey there! Honestly, that question doesn't sound ridiculous at all - I remember asking myself variations of that same question in the past - just want you to know you're not alone in feeling this way 🥲 Appreciate the kind words and your support!
music in the basckgroung are awfull. you have a nice voice, why to put music?
Trying to start own thing to. How did you come up w/ your mvp idea?
I'm solving my own problem :)
@@amy_jenny True true! Doing hybrid independent tech consulting & trying to break into fitness & dating app as SaaS product then merge outwards. Analyze gaps, make better experiences, etc.
Hi! Just moved to sf! Would love to connect!
Im going to move to sf pretty soon, I’m going to start my masters there. Wanna connect?
Hi!! We're planning on an SF event sometime in the fall - stay tuned 🫶
@@amy_jenny omg! Im going to get there by the end of august ❤️💕 I’m so excited! See you all soon!
first
How did u come up with startup ideas? Currently trying to start my own thing.
I really needed this. I was so frustrated with my parents today
lol i feel that - hang in there 🫶
Hej! Jag har fått ett sk nystartsjobb på heltid dock anser jag mig helt arbetslös då lönen inte räcker ens halva vägen till vad som krävs. Det om man tex ska kunna äta nästan varje dag. Kan man inte få fortsatt stöd av Arbetsförmedlingen i letande? Visserligen fortsätter jag att söka arbeten på egen hand men ändå.
Really good video!
appreciate you watching!
Great Content👍 ans also Subscribed
thanks for watching!
Super relatable I also Have quit my job 3 months ago to do a startup. Been blaming my self if even take a day off.
yeah it's a tough balance - glad it resonated!
love this!!
thanks for watching!!
What is your startup? I apologize in advance if you explained this before in another video.
still in stealth :)
Where is this quote from? "Grass isn't necessarily greener on the other side, it is greener where you water it". It is AMAZING!
Hi! So glad it resonates! It's either from Neil Barringham or Wolfgang Puck - the exact origin of the quote isn't confirmed
Is that bowl noodle from Costco?
It is! ❤️
@@amy_jenny Nice.
New subscriber. I’m about to move to SF to persuade my second masters and, don’t ask me why, but I think this channel is going to help me in this new journey ❤️
so glad to hear it! more to come - congrats on getting your second masters :)
@@amy_jenny I just got my F-1 visa TODAY! And now I’m planning my next steps. ❤️ is the new video ready? ❤️
This is really amazing, me being a early stage of my solo founder journey I can relate a lot. Its been 8 months into this journey for me. Loving all the ups and downs of this.
so glad to hear it!! we figured there's a good amount of people who overlap with both personas. more to come from us :)
My connection to this series just changed a whole lot today, I sent in my letter of resignation at my job and I'm planning to go out on my own full time and it's scary but I appreciate learning about Jenny's startup journey
wow - that's huge congrats!!! excited for your journey 🫶
been following the series and loved this one :) you guys should make longer videos!!
yay so glad to hear it - more to come from us :)
I resonate so much with this video! Love how you mapped out your mental journey. I'm currently in the wander phase (with some lingering presence of voyage) and am so glad to have found your channel because my brain can be all over the place during this confusing time. Watching this definitely makes me feel less alone!
tbh my brain still feels all over the place! it's a constant cycle of clarity and chaos lol but so glad this video resonated - best of luck on your journey 🫶
Hi Amy and Jenny, I am also startup founder and moving to SF in June, would like to meet, talk about startups and explore the city. Please let me know if you guys are down for that
Hi there - so glad you found us! We're planning on an SF event later this year (we recently did one in NYC last month) so stay tuned for that :)
This is awesome and the kind of content I've been looking for on here!
so glad to hear it - more to come from us :)
This is awesome. Very glad I stumbled upon this channel!
glad you found us!
Love your videos!! Do u have a video on deciding to do RUclips/ learnings /why behind doing it. I’m curious as someone who wants to explore more of a creative role but often I find techy people do creative side hustles like this
Hey Danielle!! We actually don't but that's an interesting idea. We originally started YT bc we were itching for a creative outlet and wanted to do something together (it was either YT or an e-commerce biz lol). Now almost four years later, we just never stopped. I think mostly bc 1) we still find value and enjoyment in the process 2) we think we're able to fill a meaningful content gap, like with this series 3) we've built our systems in such a way that YT as a side thing remains sustainable for us despite our busy careers. Hope that helps - but can definitely go in depth in a future video :)
Love this thanks so much for sharing and would absolutely love to hear more in a future video ❤❤❤
Hey Amy & Jenny , very good video . I can do better editing in your videos which can help you to get more engagement in your videos . Pls lmk what do you think ?
This is such a fun idea and format 👏🎉
yay so glad you're enjoying it - more to come from us
The classic role stop at that stop sign is funny. But fans will say its just cause the video was sped up 😂
Guess what, I've been an employee at big tech and now a broke startup founder. I really do miss working in a team and oh my gosh meeting new people during lunch. The founder life is lonely haha but you gotta do what you gotta do. Hell yeah SF is the place to be in although I do miss socal
hahahha the lunch comment is so relatable. sad desk lunches for now 🥲
I really appreciate the conversations! Very authentic and insightful. Subscribed!
thanks for watching this series 🥰
Keeps getting better! Love it
thanks for tuning in again ☺️
sounds like at times it could get very political?
Definitely love this concept! Look forward to following along your journeys
thank you 🥰 more to come!
I love the concept of the video and everything you shared!! ❤
Aww thank you more to come!
These are gems
I am SO glad I found this video! I am graduating in a few weeks, and I am literally going through the "linkedin search" phase. Thanks for this vidd
Aw so glad it was helpful! we've all been through that linkedin search phase 🙃
A startup entrepreneur for me, please!
I wish the event were in Los Angeles 🥲
Btw, I just found your channel and I’m in love 🤩
Aw thank you for watching! stay tuned we may host an event in LA in Q3 or Q4 of this year :)
