    I love this channel. I know this is Gent Z, but I am 46 years old & going thru a bad divorce. This channel is a benchmark for me reinventing myself. Always liked this style & your channel is a how to guide. I quit cigarettes, sober for 10 years (that's just me), hit the gym hard & adding to my wardrobe. Saw a friend of mine while visiting NY & he said "you dressed for court". I laughed & said "yup, getting ready for it". Thank you & keep up the excellent work James! 💯

    It’s tough being in your 20s, especially in your early 20s. I’m seeing people my age travelling around the world, buying nice stuff, building successful businesses, etc. while I have nothing to my name. I want to get up there but I can’t get a job, not even in something basic like retail.

      Buying nice stuff and traveling around the world is overrated and centered too much towards consuming, and i think it should be incentivized less than it currently is.
      Making a business that actually makes a positive impression on your local community however, that is underrated

  • @geoffreysundstrom
    @geoffreysundstrom 18 дней назад

    Powerful testimony. There is a lot of content here that men should take to heart whether it is mustering the courage to recognise and sever toxic relationships, stopping the excuses and treating health as a non- negotiable priority, or trusting yourself enough to take bold and even radical steps forward in your career and personal life. All good stuff. Thanks for sharing these thoughts and experiences James.

    @davidrogers1821 21 день назад

    Hey man, probably little chance you'll ever read this, but just wanted to say your videos are so inspiring. I know your main target audience is Gen Z, but I'm in my early 40s and your content makes me want to constantly self-improve. For instance, I'm about to hit some weights in the home gym right after posting this, where before I might well have just carried on sat on the sofa wasting my evening away.
    There is such a dearth of healthy male role models in our modern society, which makes your content all the more valuable. It is a rare oasis in a cultural desert in the West right now. I particularly love your comment in another video "in a world of Andrew Tates, aim to be a Cary Grant". This is so on point for our society today.
    Anyway, stay awesome James. Love your work!

  • @opk3148jj
    @opk3148jj 24 дня назад +1

    Great video, as always, sir. Would you consider making another one about the importance of a man getting his own place aka living alone? It would be helpful to hear your thoughts on how it’s a key step in self-development, moving on after college, and taking on more responsibility. Maybe cover the pros and cons, and what can happen if you don't (and just stay with parents/roommates forever).

    • @Gent.Z
      @Gent.Z  22 дня назад

      I don't know i it warrants an entire video, but I certainly recommend young men to move out and gain independence. Do it with roommates at first, then try to get your own place at least before you are 30. In some cities this is easy, in others, it's more difficult.

      I didn't tell anyone about this channel until it had some level of success and I didn't tell my family until it became my full-time job. Our fear of what others may think can hold us back a lot. Anything you can do to protect yourself against that is a wise move, in my opinion.
