Strad is another one of the few RUclipsr's who is genuine and really put in hard work on his own to be successful. Always happy to see him reach his goals.
I'm sleeping like a homeless, eating 1 meal a day (60 pack of noodles in one month already), trying to replace all my food with water, riding a bike 17 miles rather than buy a car so I could save up some money to go to college. My life is in hell but I will not give up, I'm pursuing my dream. I want to become a M.D and with that dream, I'm willing TO DO ANYTHING! Your Vid gave me an big encourage after a long day.
@@aytay2051 No u, sharing one's life is not attention seeker, going against that is. Just wait till the moment you struggle in life and even don't have the guts to share it.
man, this story is kinda sad, but it's also inspirational, because it just shows that no matter how bad things get, if you're determined, you WILL succeed. and that's a really powerful message to put out to millions of people. people who sometimes doubt themselves, and feel like failures, you never truly fail until you give up. you never abandon your dreams, because with enough motivation, and determination, and hard work, these dreams can become a reality. i can't wait to see the Gallardo and Gladiator 6x6 return to the channel! that's gonna be exciting!
you have one of the craziest "started from the bottom" stories ive heard (other than maybe tall guy car reviews), especially seeing where you are now. you have been through way more than every other car youtuber who were born rich and their parents paid for their cars to get their start. thats why you have the best channel
This Video was HANDS DOWN the best and most meaningful one you have ever made in my opinion. Coming from a person who has gone through similar situations in pursuit of a dream, heading you talk about the struggles you went through in the road to success hit me right in the feels. Pushing past the moments of doubt, the emotional exhaustion, financial hardships, etc. is what separates those who will truly make their dreams come true versus those who most likely won’t. Big up for the Stradman 👍🏽🙂
Wow... I will never EVER regret clicking on this video! Already was watching your videos while I was younger but never knew the full story behind everything. You are such an inspiration for so many people and deserve every bit of succes you are having right now 👏🙌🙏
Brother that was an awesome video probably the best and most real video I've ever seen from you congratulations on from where you came from. It's true never give up on your dreams
Damn man. I remember seeing that “lambo at 26” video years ago. Refound your channel on accident when browsing for Supra content. Loved this story. Earned my sub. Not that you need it anymore :)
He started from the bottom by homeless, living in a Audi TT,now he's here by living in a lavish lifestyle in a Bugatti and a epic mansion keep it up Strad and John Cena 20 years phrase "never give up"
You need to be a motivational speaker. Im 45 years old and you inspired me to start perusing things that i should have a long time ago. I watch all of your videos but this particular one i have watched multiple times. Im very proud of you and happy that you made it bud
This motivated me so much James. I'm in a similar situation myself, 23 and with a huge love for cars, I'm working on building my YT channel around modding my M5. So great to see where you've come from and all you've achieved. True inspiration!
Unlike most who fast forward, skip around or just switch off while watching RUclips vids... I too watched it straight thru. May GOD bless you too TaurusBlood.
As an OG sub I had to come back and watch this video again. Honestly James it's one of the best inspirational talks I've ever witnessed. As a 62 year old I recall when I was full of adventure and being a little uncomfortable, taking a change, even a big one, to gain something was worth it.
Total respect dude, when I started watching your channel I assumed that you had an easy life and just had easy access to cars. Now seeing this I'm so happy for you and glad it all worked out and was clearly worth it!!!
It's crazy because I used to see Stradman's beverly hill videos of supercars, Never knew it was him. He used to be pretty much the only one filming supercars in beverly hills. I'm glad you're successful. And Yes, It's always better not to work for someone, Do it for aslong as you need to stop doing it.
@@opemilekanadesunloye Ahh damn bro thank you very much man really apperciate the congratulations guys and yes my job as a father is a big step into life
still keep coming back to this, whenever I start to lose my mind... but then I remember your story and it's just so inspiring that I have to get back up.
After this video: He has sold the R8, wrapped the aventador purple, added many more mods, and bought 3 more cars: a Ford focus RS, Jeep gladiator, and a Toyota supra and is now going to buy a Corvette c8 and might buy a new huge dream house. He has spent lots of money on some of those new cars. Always remember to pursue your dreams!!!
Pursue Dream: How come 1.9 million subscribers has that much money...He is doing something else and he is just lying to make the video as motivational video.
This is the real Stradman not the one we see most of the time. Yapping about things he loves. Saying "Views upon views. Once it's gone it's gone." To all haters and lovers alike I LOVE STRADMAN!! 😍
Stradman I only just started watching you. I'm 29 years old and I live @ my parents. I have an IT business that does just well enough to get me by. I can pay my bills and buy a 6 pack or two on weekends. I always assumed you were one of those rich boy youtubers. And hearing this not only makes me have so much more respect for you but gives me hope. Most days I feel like a failure. I'm damn good at what I do and I really dont want to be where I am right now, in fact I hate it. I'm doing all I can to change my life. Hearing how many times it took you to get where you are gives me more hope for myself. Ive watched this film 5 times now and I wanted to thank you. I was considering giving up.
Don't give up. Similar situation to yours. I was building a marketing company while living with my girlfriend in her Grandparents' house. She broke up with me and kicked me out about a year ago. I just recently had a breakthrough with my business. I am finally making the kind of money I deserve. I took me six years to get to this point and I feel like I won't find my true success until the 10-year mark. When you push through with a good idea, you are destined to find the success you deserve. Don't give up. BTW, I'm 30. It takes time to make your dreams a reality.
The most important thing that makes you succesful is that every single failure is a step to success. If you fail no matter how many times, you always get closer to your goals. Keep doing it bro.
wowkomooth2101 It’s important to keep pursing your dreams. That said, that is a fine line vs pursuing the means (to an end). Sometimes people get too attached to a particular model, and doesn’t realize need to iterate (the model) or pivot (the direction). Stradman here shared the story behind ONE reiteration, which is that first Lambo. He fast forwarded idk how many more reiteration, and we only saw mentions of HK, Dubai, etc., but didn’t get the details behind those “how am I going to afford a frigging international flight when this Tube thing is barely keeping the bills paid”. I can only imagine how the decision behind the first major international trip going back & forth in his head. Keep fighting hard. Don’t give up on your dream. But be open to reiterations & different approaches.
I absolutely loved this video James. I'm glad you took the roads you did and made the choices you did. I started following your channel when you had less than 100k subs and one of the first videos I watched was just before you did the snowball Rally with DDE and Vehicle Virgins And others.
Strad you are one of the reasons I got to where I am today man. I recently just got a job as an Engineer for a PowerPlant close to my home town and my next step is becoming a professional poker player and this video has always opened my eyes that moving to the next step is very possible with hard work , dedication and most importantly a love for the craft .
Thanks so much Stradman.....2018 was a rough year for me.....Tried the entrepreneurial path...took a bunch of L's, but your story kinda got me back on my feet!!
Alfa oh I recently started a new career at age 40 that paid 12$ less than normal income and I can’t be happier. Yes the $ sucks goat balls but the reward of waking in the morning excited to go to work is a tremendous game changer. Wanna add that my enthusiasm is paying off and the promotions keep coming. Best of luck. Best advice it to push yourself w every breath
James I love your channel. You are amazing. Your content is SO entertaining. I have been subscribed for 3 years. Never give up. Also if possible upload more frequently.
Brilliant and inspiring. I never said this when this video came out, but I’ve been watching your videos for a while. I’ve enjoyed seeing your work turn into your dreams, and shall continue to do so. Well done, James.
You are a rarity. A young kid with a goal an the determination to get it done. I been here since about 4 videos before the layoff. So keep it up an beep beep the haters an let it keep on ripping.
Well James, you certainly are on your way to achieving the ultimate dream!! Life isn't easy or free. My life has had so many bad things happening that any normal person may give up! I had a severe tractor trailer accident in August of 09 where I did flat line, but obviously here I am. In that accident my neck was broken in two places, my left shoulder was completely messed up and my left knee was caught in between the steering wheel and the door. I had my neck fused and my doctor told me to take ibuprofen with my pain medication which made my stomach burst. While I was being transported to the hospital, I flatlined again. So since my accident I have died twice, had my neck fused ,lost my biceps in my left arm and had my left knee totally replaced which still isn't right to this day. With all that has happened, I'm still here and refuse to give up. I love life too much, even struggling financially, I don't know the word quit. I may not know where my next meal will come from, but by God I am going to keep going! God Bless James, I love the vlogs!! I hope someone reads my story and it helps them to keep fighting!!
I’ve been watching for over 2 years and it’s crazy how much you have grown this channel. I’m just a kid but this story encourages me to follow my dreams
Very inspiring, James! This is a message so many of us need to hear- especially young people , but old people too (I'm 61). Thanks so much. Blessings, Bob
I am so glad the you made this video. I have a reason to live. I was in a very dark place in my life and I’m glad you have given me a reason to show that if there is life there is hope.
There are lots reason to have hope. Start small and do small, positive things. Ask if you need help. You are more important than you know. Ditto, Royale Collab.
So inspiring and I thought my life was bad this guy started from living in his car and then owning a Lamborghini and other supercars now that's amazing
Suddenly got this as recommendation. Seriously you've come a long way strad, I just saw your video with custom white interior to your widebody Aventador and then this one! Absolutely fascinating journey you had
Hey James, just wanted to send you a shout. My name is Josh and I am a combat vet diagnosed with PTSD. I've been a subscriber since damn near the beginning of your channel and definitely part of "the like squad". I wanted to say thank you!! Needless to say, I've had some dark days; but your positivity, enthusiasm, and passion for what you do has helped me on more than one occasion. Keep living your dream
Motivation man, i'm hitting a low in life myself lol. Don't know what i truly wanna do with life. But watching videos like this helps keep me going. Keep doing your thing and living life bro
I’ve been watching this channel for well over a year and this is the best video I’ve ever seen. Even better than all of the venenos and all of the Dubai trips
Just watched your other living in tt vid last year! (The one where you fixed the fuel pump) It’s amazing to see how far you’ve come man! Keep inspiring, you’re amazing.
I've been watching you every upload for a year and have just now been recommended this video. It's such an awesome story and inspirational situation, especially considering I'm also from Oregon, about three hours away from Bend. Not to mention I lived in my 2005 Scion TC for 60 days, similar to your experience, except for instead of living in it in Beverly Hills, it was in between Corvallis and Salem, OR at assorted rest stops. I look at you every day and know that one day I will be a Lamborghini owner. I'm actually 23 right now and look forward to my future every single day because of you. Thank you James. As luck would have it, I now live in Orem, UT, only about an hour and a half away from you, and I hope that I will see you driving by in one of your beautiful cars one day, maybe meeting you in the process. Thank you for inspiring me. It's actually kind of scary how similar our stories are (besides the fact that I don't own a Lambo yet.)
@@5.3yungbhrisss37 STFU you lil pump fan boy. He doesn't even rap. He should be in jail instead of 6ix9ine and Tay K. I bet you don't know nothing about cars.
“Sometimes in life , you don’t give up and you don’t sell the Lamborghini” ….. man those words alone are all the motivation I need , thank you so much .
Wow 100% best video I have ever watched good job I loved the story. I have been subscribed since you had 400,000 subscribers and I did know most of the story but not all of it.Keep up the good work.
The one who used to say that RUclips is a timewaste (me) now cannot be more inspired and motivated by his favourite RUclipsr (you) thank you stradman for always inspiring every single person here and letting us know your struggles and glowups as of now you own your dream mansion and countless cars ❤
I don't have anything to say but i have seen your success man from less than 100k to 1.2M and i still watch your videos with the same enthusiasm keep up the good work man and bring the drone montages back
I am an OG subscriber. This video is 2 years old and I still keep coming to it. It's amazing what people can and will do to follow there dreams. Props to you James. I love you so much and you have inspired me to follow my dreams which are similar to yours.
James, this just might be the best YOUTube video I have watched...ever! Note: I am addicted to RUclips and follow well over 200 channels for over 15 years...and NO TV!
The Story of Living In my Audi TT to buying A Bugatti Veyron. Inspiration 10/10 Btw This Guy used to freak out after Seeing a veyron, and Now He has One. Congrats man
Bro, i really enjoy how life turned out for you, im super glad to hear these stories, i almost never spend 15min in a video but again glad everything turned out awesome and wish u the best. Cheers
You are an inspiration James Keep up the good work I look forward to seeing a centenario in your garage one day And your life story bro makes me more determined to buy my very own supercar
That was definitely some food for the soul. Congratulations on where you've gotten to today Stradman. The first video I ever watched of yours was the "What I do to afford a Lambo at age 26". After you lost your job I was so sure you should sell the Lambo. I'm happy to say you proved me wrong. As a 22 year old about to graduate with a BBA from college this the kind of motivation I need.
Hey James you probably won't even see this message but I really want to say you are truly amazing and an inspiration to me on never giving up on a dream and that you should prove people wrong in things that they think that you can't succeed in! I got this video saved and when I am down or unmotivated I watch this video, and it gets me right back up everytime! The amount of work you have to put in and sacrifices you made is truly remarkable... now you figuring out which hyper car to buy🤣! Thank you for giving me the guts to start my youtube channel and to pursue my dreams ! You such a boss! So proud of you and of what you built for yourself! Made respects 🙌 🙏
This store really helped me. I’ve been in a low point in life. I’ve always loved your channel but have avoided this video because I didn’t want to be hurt. But I regret putting this video to the side. This has really inspired me to work on my channel just as you did and make my dream of having a supercar collection like you have done. Thank you so much James for all of your inspiration and giving me some hope for the future.
James....u have really inspired me man!.....I have been following ur channel from when u had about 30000 sub's.....and seeing u reach where u r today....hats off to u man!...u have come up a great length!... Lots of love and success to u James!
Dude you gave me a big push with this video! I usually don't watch all your youtube video but I still think you are a great man and a really hard worker. Thank you for sharing your experience you made me think about a lot of stuff about my life
Man James I remember watching your video years ago of you leaving your job with Nick as an accountant. It definitely has stuck with me in the back of my mind watching your path to success. Being so inspired by your fearlessness to just go seek out your dream, and not look back. Just wanted to thank you for sticking with it all these years I had know idea, what you had gone through back then, well done... Btw this last month I just moved to the Truckee Lake Tahoe area to finally just live my best life, and launch my online marketing businesses first product, after years of trial and error. Wish me luck, and thanks again for the inspiration and making this transparent video.

I feel you bro 😊
Thank you for all the encouragement guys....you're the best!!
James I love your channel. You are amazing. Your content is SO entertaining. I have been subscribed for 3 years. Never give up. Also if possible upload more frequently.
Brilliant and inspiring. I never said this when this video came out, but I’ve been watching your videos for a while. I’ve enjoyed seeing your work turn into your dreams, and shall continue to do so. Well done, James.
You are a rarity. A young kid with a goal an the determination to get it done. I been here since about 4 videos before the layoff.
So keep it up an beep beep the haters an let it keep on ripping.
Well James, you certainly are on your way to achieving the ultimate dream!! Life isn't easy or free. My life has had so many bad things happening that any normal person may give up! I had a severe tractor trailer accident in August of 09 where I did flat line, but obviously here I am. In that accident my neck was broken in two places, my left shoulder was completely messed up and my left knee was caught in between the steering wheel and the door. I had my neck fused and my doctor told me to take ibuprofen with my pain medication which made my stomach burst. While I was being transported to the hospital, I flatlined again. So since my accident I have died twice, had my neck fused ,lost my biceps in my left arm and had my left knee totally replaced which still isn't right to this day. With all that has happened, I'm still here and refuse to give up. I love life too much, even struggling financially, I don't know the word quit. I may not know where my next meal will come from, but by God I am going to keep going! God Bless James, I love the vlogs!! I hope someone reads my story and it helps them to keep fighting!!
If there’s someone that absolutely deserves the success they have, it’s the stradman. Amazing videos!!!
I’ve been watching for over 2 years and it’s crazy how much you have grown this channel. I’m just a kid but this story encourages me to follow my dreams
Very inspiring, James! This is a message so many of us need to hear- especially young people , but old people too (I'm 61). Thanks so much. Blessings, Bob

I am so glad the you made this video. I have a reason to live. I was in a very dark place in my life and I’m glad you have given me a reason to show that if there is life there is hope.
That is all it's takes sometime....one spontaneous moment of belief. This is your moment. Good luck my friend
me too bro
There are lots reason to have hope. Start small and do small, positive things. Ask if you need help. You are more important than you know. Ditto, Royale Collab.
That's awesome man. If you need financial help DM me on Instagram, much love.

The car was an expensive audi .. you thick peice of shit
Bod Dylan lol
Suddenly got this as recommendation. Seriously you've come a long way strad, I just saw your video with custom white interior to your widebody Aventador and then this one! Absolutely fascinating journey you had
Hey James, just wanted to send you a shout. My name is Josh and I am a combat vet diagnosed with PTSD. I've been a subscriber since damn near the beginning of your channel and definitely part of "the like squad". I wanted to say thank you!! Needless to say, I've had some dark days; but your positivity, enthusiasm, and passion for what you do has helped me on more than one occasion. Keep living your dream
Motivation man, i'm hitting a low in life myself lol. Don't know what i truly wanna do with life. But watching videos like this helps keep me going. Keep doing your thing and living life bro
me to
Damn man you should get your audi TT back for memories...like if u agree 👍🏼
Eddie Smithers true 🤷🏽♂️
Eddie Smithers Since were saying dumb shit. If you had a brain at all you’d give me your car
You do realize that their are thousands of comments right?It is impossible to keep with that many and respond to all of them....
@Eddie Smithers It's always the wannabe's like you who make shitty comments like you do.
REY no he should not it will remind him of that he’ll time
uploading the story: he was living in his audi tt with no money now he is buying a hypercar and he can't decide P1 or Veyron
This man has some mad dedication
Having under than 1000 dollars and now he's got over 1million dollars

I’ve been watching this channel for well over a year and this is the best video I’ve ever seen. Even better than all of the venenos and all of the Dubai trips

Just watched your other living in tt vid last year! (The one where you fixed the fuel pump) It’s amazing to see how far you’ve come man! Keep inspiring, you’re amazing.
Hi jthunter327
I've been watching you every upload for a year and have just now been recommended this video. It's such an awesome story and inspirational situation, especially considering I'm also from Oregon, about three hours away from Bend. Not to mention I lived in my 2005 Scion TC for 60 days, similar to your experience, except for instead of living in it in Beverly Hills, it was in between Corvallis and Salem, OR at assorted rest stops. I look at you every day and know that one day I will be a Lamborghini owner. I'm actually 23 right now and look forward to my future every single day because of you. Thank you James. As luck would have it, I now live in Orem, UT, only about an hour and a half away from you, and I hope that I will see you driving by in one of your beautiful cars one day, maybe meeting you in the process. Thank you for inspiring me. It's actually kind of scary how similar our stories are (besides the fact that I don't own a Lambo yet.)
This deserves to go on VINwiki

Respect bro💯
“Sometimes in life , you don’t give up and you don’t sell the Lamborghini” ….. man those words alone are all the motivation I need , thank you so much .
sometimes in life you need to put your suspension down on your aventador
This is one of the most touching and motivating videos.........i learned something today
Wow 100% best video I have ever watched good job I loved the story. I have been subscribed since you had 400,000 subscribers and I did know most of the story but not all of it.Keep up the good work.
The one who used to say that RUclips is a timewaste (me) now cannot be more inspired and motivated by his favourite RUclipsr (you) thank you stradman for always inspiring every single person here and letting us know your struggles and glowups as of now you own your dream mansion and countless cars ❤
I don't have anything to say but i have seen your success man from less than 100k to 1.2M and i still watch your videos with the same enthusiasm keep up the good work man and bring the drone montages back
Proud be an OG subscriber. Thank you for the journey Strad!
What does OG mean?
@@joseambriz5897 , means pretty much watching someone's RUclips channel from their very start.
"Been here since the fuelpump"-squad?
Nice. I subscribed when he started the gold rush rally
I subscribed when he started upgrading the Jeep
i subbed before he bought the gallardo 3 years ago
I feel Bad At myself Not supporting this guy At that time
I remember even before that
I am an OG subscriber. This video is 2 years old and I still keep coming to it. It's amazing what people can and will do to follow there dreams. Props to you James. I love you so much and you have inspired me to follow my dreams which are similar to yours.
Do not say this video did not inspire you
this video did not inspire me

@Forest Moss why do you say stuff like that like honestly what was the point of that
This video didn’t inspire me
This is so powerful.. I’m so happy for you Stradman... I love to come to your channel to make me feel better! You’re amazing!
James, this just might be the best YOUTube video I have watched...ever!
Note: I am addicted to RUclips and follow well over 200 channels for over 15 years...and NO TV!

You are an inspiration James
Keep up the good work
I look forward to seeing a centenario in your garage one day
And your life story bro makes me more determined to buy my very own supercar
I’ve been watching this again and again till now since the day it was uploaded, such an inspiration.
And that’s why The Stradman is the best RUclipsr
Ryan Majors no.
SaleenE34 yes
That was definitely some food for the soul. Congratulations on where you've gotten to today Stradman. The first video I ever watched of yours was the "What I do to afford a Lambo at age 26". After you lost your job I was so sure you should sell the Lambo. I'm happy to say you proved me wrong. As a 22 year old about to graduate with a BBA from college this the kind of motivation I need.

James, that video was very real and awesome! You have a cool story, thank you for sharing!
Hey James you probably won't even see this message but I really want to say you are truly amazing and an inspiration to me on never giving up on a dream and that you should prove people wrong in things that they think that you can't succeed in! I got this video saved and when I am down or unmotivated I watch this video, and it gets me right back up everytime! The amount of work you have to put in and sacrifices you made is truly remarkable... now you figuring out which hyper car to buy🤣! Thank you for giving me the guts to start my youtube channel and to pursue my dreams ! You such a boss! So proud of you and of what you built for yourself! Made respects 🙌 🙏

This store really helped me. I’ve been in a low point in life. I’ve always loved your channel but have avoided this video because I didn’t want to be hurt. But I regret putting this video to the side. This has really inspired me to work on my channel just as you did and make my dream of having a supercar collection like you have done. Thank you so much James for all of your inspiration and giving me some hope for the future.
James....u have really inspired me man!.....I have been following ur channel from when u had about 30000 sub's.....and seeing u reach where u r today....hats off to u man!...u have come up a great length!...

Man James I remember watching your video years ago of you leaving your job with Nick as an accountant.
It definitely has stuck with me in the back of my mind watching your path to success.
Being so inspired by your fearlessness to just go seek out your dream, and not look back.
Just wanted to thank you for sticking with it all these years I had know idea, what you had gone through back then, well done...
Btw this last month I just moved to the Truckee Lake Tahoe area to finally just live my best life, and launch my online marketing businesses first product, after years of trial and error. Wish me luck, and thanks again for the inspiration and making this transparent video.
