    Incredible, moving, compelling and touching video. Wow! I'm Blown away by this Josh. As a guy working professionally in video for 32 years, I can tell you four years does go by fast, too fast. I traveled a lot when my son was little and I would come home after a week and he looked like he grew three inches. He's almost 19 now. This move will payoff over a lifetime, many lifetimes even for you and your family. There will always be another camera with a better sensor, brighter lights and drones that can fly beyond the sky, but you only have one family and they will be with you long after the tech is outdated. I appreciate you so much for sharing this with us. Enjoy each moment.

  • @matthewTobrien
    @matthewTobrien 2 года назад +55

    It’s interesting that “validation” is the word at the center of the pursuit of your dream(s). After acting school, after film school, after 3 yrs in LA pursuing screenwriting ended abruptly in my and my now wife’s financial ruin, after ten years living in Omaha, Nebraska of all places (for this Chicagoland native)…I finally figured out the word that was at the center of my pursuits. My dreams.
    It was “significance.”
    I wanted to do something and make something and be something significant. And I am terrified of insignificance.
    And it’s still hard sometimes to feel like I left LA and screenwriting and Hollywood and my biggest dream behind.
    But every day I look at my two girls, my wife, my growing RUclips channel and business, the community I’ve built with my fellow content creators and my audience…and for the most part, for most of the time, I truly feel significant…to them.
    And that that’s enough.
    Most of the time.
    Wonderful video. ❤️

      @@LucasCreativeTech I disagree, Lucas. Much of my success in at least having a shot at becoming a pro screenwriter was the result of the relationships I formed while living in LA. These relationships were critical in getting me to the climax of my effort to “break in” which was to have a sci-fi action spec I wrote go out wide to all the major studios and mini-majors - Paramount, Universal, 20th Century Fox, Lionsgate, etc.
      Without having been there, for me, that never would have happened. Does every person need to be there, especially how that social media and RUclips can do a lot of that heavy lifting? No. But my time was 2008 - 2011.

    There's something about these videos that's just so damn enjoyable to watch, and I think I figured out what it is. For a lot of us guys, you embody our inner child - that playful, creative spirit that society works so hard to hush down and put back in the corner. It's no coincidence since I started watching videos from the likes of you, Casey, Peter and the rest here on RUclips that my self-belief and love for being creative and actually making things felt encouraged and nurtured. I don't think you'll ever realise what you've done for an entire generation...
    All the best in Dayton and the changes it brings x

Funny how family, when looked at through the proper lens, completely fulfills our need for validation as in their eyes, we are 1000% validated and cherished for just being who we are. I get caught up in the YT hustle and forget to slow down and take the time to cherish the present, so thanks for the reminder. Best of luck with the new space and the new beginning.

I have really been struggling with the change, walking away and giving up all the work and connections that I had built over the years in Colorado and adjusting to this new life that is more family focused. I think it is a good change, but still is not easy. Hearing you talk about your decision really resonated with me and brought some kind of peace; if you, from L.A. can take the leap and make the adjustment, then I surely can too.

    Wow, Josh, I just love this. No one understands moving from a big city (Los Angeles) to what felt like the middle of nowhere (Oregon) more than I do, and much for the same reason. But what moves me the most is the relationship you have with your father and father in law. Not just because you're close, but because there are actively involved in your life, and you in theirs. Having lost my father when I was young, I can definitely promise that these moments, and the springtime of your young family, are precious beyond words. Long after the 24bit raw wristwatch camera comes and goes, these digital reminders (in some form) will be here as testament to just how rare, crazy, trying, wonderful, and priceless these times were.

    My dude. You're on the RIGHT path. You chose your family and I cannot emphasize enough how right of a choice that is. About to make the leap to Tennessee myself. I'm north of Seattle right now. The change will allow me to be home more with my family. And I CANNOT WAIT for that. Just spent 6 weeks on the road, filming for various clients, just to make sure that I have enough for my family to keep going. But with the rising prices and shifting politics, I'm ready for a change. Big fish in a little pond is where some of the greatest things were achieved. You have a lot to look forward to in the Midwest. It'll take some patience though, as I'm sure you know;) Looking forward to your next step. I'll be right behind ya.

    I gave up a corporate job in Washington DC to move back to my hometown in Michigan to become a University professor. I now teach photo and film and love every moment of it. Good for you!!!

    I packed up my little car with everything I owned and left LA after a year eating my socks and trying to get anywhere in the industry. That feeling of leaving came back to me watching your moving film. After being in a dark hole for longer than I care to admit, I got moving and making again. You will kick ass wherever you will land.

    as your family grows you will have no regrets. We left California for the east coast when we had kids and it was the best decision for our family! All the best in your new location! 🙏

    holy fuck dude. this made me cry like a baby. Such a ton of emotions came through as I watched your journey in Cali end and a new one begin. I told you once that others have told me "you're my doppelganger.... yet younger." I hope your next chapter is wonderful and as interesting as I think it will be. Thank you for this deep share and honesty. If I get to your neck of the woods I'll holla at you. Best of luck. Dreams change but will always remain true to your heart. LOVE.

    Hey man. I did the same thing two years ago. After 24 years inLA working as an editor in TV, I made the one way road trip with my wife to Milwaukee. Best decision ever. I worked remotely for a while with LA, kept on listening to KCRW to know how was the traffic on the 405. Then one day I listened to NPR Milwaukee, and quit my LA gig. My last day of work in in two days. After that LA will be behind 100%. Good luck

    What a magnificent self examination, thanks. Something most of the nation is doing right now. I'm a couple decades ahead of you... Your fathers advice, (4 years) was spot on... I don't have to look back to know I should have been home more instead of filming. The move you just made guarantees you will never be looking back brother. Now hurry up with the studio... this old camera op is still learning. You and Gerald are my two go tos. P.S. Tell Gerald to slow down and once in a while, take a breath. All the best Josh.

    You probably don't remember me, but I've been watching you since you were a small channel. I'm glad to see you leave California. Besides it being a great thing for your family, there is so much more to life than the sun, beach and desert, and I'm looking forward to seeing what this change does for your work. Thanks again for another great video!

      The JP quote is words to live by. One of my life goals is to never become the dad in every christmas movie that missed out on his kids big moments because he did nothing but work.

    This connects with me. With the individual within. Growing out of our childhood, living the life we think we want, and then finding true fulfillment, leaving the childhood fantasies. The only takeaway being the essence we get from all that running around. The essence we extract from a life truly lived to the max...

    “…Traded his need for validation for a family.”
    That line resonated so well. About a week after you were in Austin, my son was born and it was a life changing experience. You only have so many cares to give and there are an unlimited number of buckets. Gotta put your cares in the right buckets.
