@Real Data it's when companies provide little or no service to a customer while also charging an excessive or premium fee. - $4 fees for ATM transactions (getting rid of bank tellers was supposed to reduce cost and benefit customers??..) - Iron-clad cell phone contracts you can’t get out of - insurance (the company makes money by NOT paying out benefits) - internet providers (generally a monopoly in a given market, generally expensive and poor customer service). - healthcare billing (you see one doctor, but get 6 different bills from 6 different companies over 6 months... wtf?..GOTCHA!) ..so it's a breakdown in the typical supply and demand relationship where consumers have options, the market is determining a fair price, and the customer is aware of what the price is. I'd probably throw social media in this bucket as well, because while the customer gets "free use" of a service, they aren't generally aware (and understand the total impacts) of the internet company selling all the customer information to data brokers.
You understand concepts of life that the normal person doesn’t figure out till the later days in life if ever. You’re a great knowledgeable person and share it generously.
It's 2019 and apparently creative people on the Internet have to explain why they prefer to work for themselves as opposed to working for others. Some even feel compelled to apologize for it. Trolls will say you're not a team player, that you're a 'selfish' person or more self-serving horseshit along those lines. Suppose that the others you work for a clueless bunch (they too often are) who will soon drive their business, including your job, to the brink of financial disaster. What will you do then? Where's the value in being a team player on the Titanic? Never apologize for being different, for following your own individual drum beat or for wishing to have more control over your own work. There's nothing wrong whatsoever in following your own personal pursuit of happiness, even if it means walking that path alone.
Man, that was deep - "Consider that you don't need to be the next person to win the X game, maybe consider instead of being the next you could be the first."
Another video full of wise content. I'm 33 y/o, a bit older than you, but I feel that you have understood all these things already that I'm only slowly starting to understand right now. You manage to put thoughts into clear words, which helps me in turn to understand my own path better and where I want to go in life. Thank you!
was listening to this in the background, while fixing a bug in my code. couldn't hold my tears. Creators like you never let the inspiration die. Thank you Josh
I'm not even a programmer and i just found your channel today! I've been binge-watching your videos and they've been very informative! Keep it up, you're great!
I love the rawness and authenticity of your videos. We need more stuff like that in a world full of fakes. Your videos helped me a lot. "Instead of being the next, you could be the first." love that part. Keep it up! :)
Entrepreneurship is a journey. It isn’t a one-suit fits all. Every entrepreneur’s journey is unique. Some entrepreneurs paths take longer, and other entrepreneurs paths take a shorter amount of time to get to their destinations, and to ultimately achieve their goals and realize their vision(s). Thanks for another great inspiration.
I've been wanting to write and draw illustrations for a book for many years, and I always felt like my art classes/other classes in college got in the way. Then I took an entrepreneurship class, and I realized school, at least for my degree (Art), was absolutely pointless.
Much respect to you man. You have your head screwed on straight, not that you needed me to tell you. I have the same feelings. I'm working with my degree and feeling lost but I know I'm picking up skills as I go and will never stay comfortable. Figuring things out as I go. I've lost close family members and it's really opened my eyes at a young age. No golden handcuffs for me
Josh, I am starting college as a freshman in less than a month. I believe that you are the person who truly got me to understand that I want to work for myself as an entrepreneur, instead of working under another. I am enamored at the idea of starting a business, company or agency of my own as soon as I am able. Do you have any advice for an aspiring entrepreneur?
I know Josh is a fan of MJ DeMarco (author of _The Fastlane Millionaire_ and _Unscripted_ ). He says if you want to be an entrepreneur, you need to find a genuine want or need that people have and fill it. If there are already others doing it, then figure out how you can do it better, distinguishing yourself from the crowd. Don't try following your passions as an entrepreneur unless your passions also lead you to (1) filling a want/need for customers and (2) distinguishing yourself from the crowd. Passions typically do not do these things and so will not pay the bills. Follow what people want/need, be successfull in filling those wants/needs, and you will be free to follow your passions after that.
Your greatest video by far. I live in Park City and have worked the past two years as a remote contract software engineer, making over $100K from my condo at the base of the ski resort. Last year, I had this amazing routine getting up and hitting jumps every morning. It's kinda funny when you call into the standup meeting after going off of a 70 foot jump, just jacked on the adrenaline. You have a totally different attitude from all of the office drones. To everyone watching, you really can find ways to live life on your own terms. It starts with one small step and it snowballs from there. Don't let the mediocrity of the masses drag you down. You can be exceptional.
This vid couldn’t have come at a more pivotal moment in my life and I just wanted to say how much I appreciate the content and advice in your videos. You’re journey inspires me.
I have an interview today for some project for the AirForce... aaannnddd. It’s REMOTE!! ... You made me start my channel.. I have to start recording 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽... fitness and my journey.... Entrepreneurship is in due time. I have to get my skills up
I've watched this video countless times since I was around 29 years old. Relating so much to ambition and career related feelings, your mindset truly helped me put everything into words; and begin my path to personal freedom. Today, I am 32 years old, and my dreams become more attainable by the day. This mindset, becomes something more to me by the day. Thank you 🙏
Thank you for telling us about it, it motivated me a lot and I feel like, time to time I get a clear picture in my mind of what my passions are and what I'm going to do for living as soon as I finish school.
As my wise friend said, you don't need or want to be the next Steve Jobs; be the first (insert your name) instead. This is one of the best 'TED talks' you will do Josh. Thank you for sharing your brilliance with us.
Lifes a roller coaster consisting of highs 'n' lows. I'm unemployed at the moment and enjoying my new found freedom, to some extent.I get by with just enough money, which is provided by the state here in the U.K. I've been introduced to, and acheived some acedemia while out of work and am focusing on new tech courses. Soon I will have a decent job and have money again....Aim high, never look back, and just stay motivated.
I never hit that notification bell until now. Thank you Joshua for inspiring me to keep pushing forward with plans to open my own business. In my country senior devs are working for $25-35k a year, remote work is very very rare, and everyone is talking about the "job security". With me being able to hold off by doing freelance projects, and learning new skills in my spare time it is refreshing to hear your sincere thoughts, and read comments from people that are thinking similar. Wish you all the best with your further plans.
I first came across your channel on your video on why you don't work jobs anymore and ever since then, I've been binge watching all your videos and I'm not really even into programming either. Please continue doing your thing. Love how raw and real you are. You're an inspiration to me. Appreciate the videos man!
Pretty awesome video Josh, I've been pondering the exact same topics myself for several years now, and I believe you're right - sometimes there just ins't a path and you have to set out on a journey into the unknown and see where it will lead you. But it's definitely better to wander out into the dark without a road map instead of slowly losing your soul inside a cubicle, doing something that you have no passion for. When you decide to take a risk and give it a shot, even if it does not work out in the end and you have to go back to the cubicle, at least you will have grown wiser and more experienced and you can say: "I still gave it a shot and did my best" instead of never having tried at all.
You speak out exactly about what I feel...I am not learning to code for somebody but use it for my business ideas ! This feeling of valuing one’s own pursuits that’s the foundation for entrepreneurship
As a mad scientist I can relate. Stitching different animals seldom goes well, but it's all worth it once you get your perfect creation that lives on to terrorize vacationing high schoolers after killing you and escaping your laboratory.
Since January of this year i started working for myself as well because after 5 years i just got tired of all excuses and bullshit companies and recruiters were telling me in order for me not get hired. Companies have wasted my time and money to travel to places take long as interviews and when i drive home and they call and told me "Thank you for your interest". So i decided fuck the corporate culture in the software world i dont need them i can make it on my own doing work at Top Coder and other means. So if a company wants to hire me they are going to have to bring something more to the table than a meaningless contract role and a stupid coding test that means nothing to the actual job i initially applied for in the first place. So again i am with you Josh the software world today is run by incompetent burocrats.
This is really rough, because part of me thinks of this talk like a trick: an inspiring speech you hear at a MLM-marketing meeting to sucker you in with promises of riches and your own hours. Part of me keeps hearing the voices from college professors, students and other adults that you need to be part of the team, need to just buckle down and grow up and accept it, that it's just how society works. But from hearing this and seeing some of my brothers getting started in their own solo adventures with some success...well...it might be more than just food for thought.
I wish more people would openly share these kinda thoughts. I tend to think about this kind of stuff a lot, but none of my friends seem to enjoy such conversations As soon as I bend towards a topic that goes a bit deeper, they just shy off and change subject to the weather or something else thats just boring. Is the internet really the only place for such talks?
This is a very good video, my dude. Thoroughly enjoyed it and was just sitting here nodding, as I related to your story and your perspective on life. Much appreciate your content and I suspect many others do as well. Let's keep exploring that jungle.
Old video i know, but as a sub, I'm proud of you josh. New home, got a bad chick, you're young, you got it going on man, plus you got an employee. 👍🏽 You've come avways away man... Can't wait to see you level up more
The only reason people start to do this, is because corporations suck. They treat you like shit, you don't matter. It's not about finding your passion. Of course if you're doing what you like to do, but in an awful environment, you'll hate your life. What you like to do is not everything, you need healthy human interaction, fun, distraction, rest, etc. It's the way how jobs work right now. Entrepreneurship is a way of survival in a post-capitalist society, and that's sad. You're basically on your own. If you make it, it's great, but most people don't.
Josh people don't think of this stuff rationally by weighing the pros and cons of their life directions. Most people have been raised by parents that believe the only way in life is college and a 9-5, so their mindset is already made by the time they reach adulthood and they begin to become set in their ways. Anything you say that goes against their life long belief will be ignored because of cognitive dissonance and they will only hear what confirms their belief which reinforces it, even if its not grounded in reality, which is confirmation bias. Ya'll watch out for these cognitive biases; they will screw you and your not immune! They are like glitches in our software.
I liked the jungle analogy of being dropped off but I envisioned having a machete and having to hack and slash my way to blazing my own trail thru the jungle
Josh please for the sake of god create a video showing us how to make it easy for an introvert to talk in front of the camera, create a series on how to succeed on youtube thanks man
Ryan VanSlyke - yea. I've tried that. A lot. I already have achallenge from one of Josh's subs to do it. I'm dealing with that anxiety now. But I'm try, yup. I will.
This is so true. Everybody has their own journey. And we all must benefit our country or our community in some way or another. That is whats looked up on to. Most people has the eager to accoplish something great in life. It can be a programmer job or win the olympics. Ceep it up Joshua!
Hey Josh, I AM YOU! Trust me when I say, I am you! This video... I mean, this one really hit close to me... I am the 19-year-old paragliding pilot! ... with a paragliding license that I get to use once or twice per season due to the weather (and the occasional benefit of getting to show it off in front of the girls). I am the kid who looks up to my flight-partners who are financially set free - almost all IT guys, tbh - .. I am the guy with business aspirations and enjoy to code. Every word you said about your past... I'm living it and RIGHT NOW! Ever since you started this channel, I've been watching you. But this exact video.. this one made me realise (even more) that I have some serious notes to take from you, Mr.Fatherineverhad! Thanks for the great content, much needed! PS: Did you ever continue with paragliding (or at least consider to do so for the sake of networking)? .... on a less positive note, today I also found out about Grant Thomson's tragic paramotor accident. RIP. :( Just really makes you rethink your values and reasons for continuing with this sport.
Sons of Scotland... I am William Wallace... I AM William Wallace, and I see a whole army of my countrymen, here, in defiance of tyranny. You've come to fight as free men... and free men you are. What will you do with that freedom!? Will you fight!? Aye, fight and you may die. Run... and you'll live. At least, a while. But dying in your bed, many years from now, would you be willing to trade ALL the days from this day to that for one chance -- JUST ONE CHANCE -- to come back here, and tell our enemies... that they make take our lives... but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM!!!!!
hi josh, I need some advice about confidence. I always feel like, I never feel good enough to work on some project, also if I working with team I always afraid make my team disappointing
"Stop trying to find ways to make money. Start finding ways to help people."
~ Josh Fluke
we are in the age of "gotcha capitalism". it's no longer about wants and needs.
*and make money. You can't help people if you can't help yourself.
@Real Data it's when companies provide little or no service to a customer while also charging an excessive or premium fee.
- $4 fees for ATM transactions (getting rid of bank tellers was supposed to reduce cost and benefit customers??..)
- Iron-clad cell phone contracts you can’t get out of
- insurance (the company makes money by NOT paying out benefits)
- internet providers (generally a monopoly in a given market, generally expensive and poor customer service).
- healthcare billing (you see one doctor, but get 6 different bills from 6 different companies over 6 months... wtf?..GOTCHA!)
..so it's a breakdown in the typical supply and demand relationship where consumers have options, the market is determining a fair price, and the customer is aware of what the price is.
I'd probably throw social media in this bucket as well, because while the customer gets "free use" of a service, they aren't generally aware (and understand the total impacts) of the internet company selling all the customer information to data brokers.
Many people have said this lol. He is sharing what he has heard

One of my favorite videos from you yet, I’m 28 and still trying to find my path. I thought I’d be much further by now. Trying to take it day by day.
26 nearing 27, feel the same way, I'm doing alright for the time being, but yeah I still don't feel like I really found my purpose in life
@@FalconFlyer75 keep going man, we'll do the best we can as we find our way. 👌
I'm 29 and pivoted a couple years ago. Now it's time to pivot again. Definitely feeling my way through life too.
Kenneth See let’s see how this story turns out my friend, kudos for continuing the journey.
Man, that was deep - "Consider that you don't need to be the next person to win the X game, maybe consider instead of being the next you could be the first."
you are doing a great job awakening the consciousness of squared tech people

I love the rawness and authenticity of your videos. We need more stuff like that in a world full of fakes. Your videos helped me a lot.
"Instead of being the next, you could be the first." love that part.
Keep it up! :)
Another one - Congrats on the insane growth Josh, so cool to have watched your journey away from cubicle world and into your own thing! Motivation 💪
Entrepreneurship is a journey. It isn’t a one-suit fits all. Every entrepreneur’s journey is unique. Some entrepreneurs paths take longer, and other entrepreneurs paths take a shorter amount of time to get to their destinations, and to ultimately achieve their goals and realize their vision(s). Thanks for another great inspiration.
Please keep these videos up! I don’t relate to people much. But this, this is something that moves me
One of your best videos, seriously.
A healthy reminder that carving my own path isn't selfish, nor crazy. It's just what I need to do.
Thanks for the great content
I've been wanting to write and draw illustrations for a book for many years, and I always felt like my art classes/other classes in college got in the way.
Then I took an entrepreneurship class, and I realized school, at least for my degree (Art), was absolutely pointless.
everything takes 2- 5 years to master
if you pretty much do it everyday for 5 or 6hrs a day
or 1hr
plenty of crazy talented folks on deviantart, from vietnam and other places willing to work for pennies.
Much respect to you man. You have your head screwed on straight, not that you needed me to tell you. I have the same feelings. I'm working with my degree and feeling lost but I know I'm picking up skills as I go and will never stay comfortable. Figuring things out as I go. I've lost close family members and it's really opened my eyes at a young age. No golden handcuffs for me
This makes me want to cry😢. So beautiful.
Amazing video, it’s because of your content I’ve started working on building my own business.
I really like your choice of background music on your videos
Some hear my friend 👍🙂🤚

Your speech really calm my anxiety of not finding a passion. I need to learn skillS combine with passionS,. Make my own way/job/sth. to help people.
It's refreshing to hear you put all this together. Thank you.

Please continue doing your thing. Love how raw and real you are. You're an inspiration to me. Appreciate the videos man!
dude ur an angel
Very emotional
Best “Ted talk” yet, thanks Josh. I really needed to watch this

I really appreciate you Josh. You speak with an emotion you just don't get from others.
thanks josh ! you really do inspire me to do what i have been planning... i had doubt but not im motivated
Because it pays better, not just money-wise
As a mad scientist I can relate. Stitching different animals seldom goes well, but it's all worth it once you get your perfect creation that lives on to terrorize vacationing high schoolers after killing you and escaping your laboratory.
Love this! Thank you for the inspiration and encouragement to carve my own path.
You have a good taste for music Josh. Thanks
Since January of this year i started working for myself as well because after 5 years i just got tired of all excuses and bullshit companies and recruiters were telling me in order for me not get hired. Companies have wasted my time and money to travel to places take long as interviews and when i drive home and they call and told me "Thank you for your interest".

"Jumping off the roof with an umbrella. My mom didn't like that one."
🤣 Thanks for the laugh
Appreciate you sharing your honest insight. That goes for all your videos 👍
This one hit me right in the feels...
Hustle Hard 💪 Joshua. Failing is an opportunity to learn. And then, adapt and overcome.
"Thank you for coming to my TED Talk" LOL
Come for the cooperate roast, stay for life lesson
FUCK YEAH for that intro duuude
Thanks for this eyeopening video. I don't say this often, but you really inspired me.

Ever since you started this channel, I've been watching you. But this exact video.. this one made me realise (even more) that I have some serious notes to take from you, Mr.Fatherineverhad!
Thanks for the great content, much needed!
PS: Did you ever continue with paragliding (or at least consider to do so for the sake of networking)?
.... on a less positive note, today I also found out about Grant Thomson's tragic paramotor accident. RIP. :( Just really makes you rethink your values and reasons for continuing with this sport.
I havent had time to do it really. When I am 'financially free'
Love this channel man.
Was expecting a video similar to the garbage programming job one, but came back with surprising life lessons. Great video :)
love this sunny.
I am returning back to my last job, but barely made it in because I didnt leave a 2 week notice, instead a 4 day notice.
You should optimize tags for your vids. And consider adding a description for your videos of 1 - 2 sentences.
Thank you for this Joshua
I feel like i needed something like that
This guy is the real life Edward Norton character from fight club

RUclips notifications are amazing, I have it on all and got the notification 7 minutes ago where the video premiered 5 hours ago.
More of this man, good job!
Sons of Scotland... I am William Wallace...
I AM William Wallace, and I see a whole army of my countrymen, here, in defiance of tyranny. You've come to fight as free men... and free men you are. What will you do with that freedom!? Will you fight!?
Aye, fight and you may die. Run... and you'll live. At least, a while.
But dying in your bed, many years from now, would you be willing to trade ALL the days from this day to that for one chance -- JUST ONE CHANCE -- to come back here, and tell our enemies... that they make take our lives... but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM!!!!!
(By the way, I also agree, generally, with the channel's anti-corporate software stance)
Josh, this video is basically the song "Once in a lifetime" by the Talking Heads
.... whatever you're working for , finally that should be doing for the purposes of your future life 's " Independence , Freedom and Happiness !."
I don't comment often, but wow -- this was great!
