    1990s: High school dropout, homeless, and a teen father.
    2010s: Millionaire, globally famous, flying all over the world in first class every time.
    That's quite the turn-around. Kudos to you sir!

    the relationship between him and his son after all that he went through in his own childhood/teenage life shows how he doesn’t want his son to struggle the way he did, how he cared for him more than anything, what a great role-model, this is so inspirational and powerful. Really touching. ❤️

      Well i agree that they had some influence from Casey, but they are not a carbon copy. They do create unique content but both Jacksgap and Casey's videos fit under the same genre. Like Jacksgap is making documentaries, cinematic music videos, and other vlogs of the sort. Casey tells stories of his life in a cinematic way. Both similar genre, but not the same

Such as the short he produced crashing into all the obstacles in the bike lane. My first time seeing that was when my engineering teacher shared it with me in 6th grade at 11 years old….

      A person doesn't need to have a similar career path to be a big inspiration for others. Whatever your passion or interests are, what you should take from him and his work is the effort he's put into shaping his life the way he wanted it to be. Amazing man, indeed.

      I started doing small video productions in middle school. I continued in high school by being a part of one of the best high school film programs in the country. I'm now off to college and my first year at college felt so wrong without filmmaking in my life. So I added a Cinematic arts minor. I'm hoping that I can save for some decent equipment and start making films again. The dream is to be half as good a story teller as Casey, but still be able to make money ofd RUclips. Casey is absolutely the most influential and inspiring filmmaker I have ever seen. He's almost single handedly reignited my passion for filmmaking

    When I first came across Casey I thought this guys a RUclipsr , earns loads of money like the others doesn't put effort in...... , until I saw this. I felt bad, selfish and undeserved I truly am sorry Casey. You had a hard life and battled your way through the ups and downs of life and for you this was hard,very hard. You deserve it man your ambition to make films became a reality and you proved that well and truly. I now have great determination and respect for you. Keep it up man , good for you, and ' keep on going' like you said in this episode! Thanks Ollie

  • @CookieCraftMedia
    @CookieCraftMedia 8 лет назад +693

    This literally is one of the best Draw My Life Videos I have ever seen, and it makes me kinda sad actually.
    The way Casey went trough all of this... He is successful, has an own company, everything.
    I am pretty much trying to do the same and achieve becoming a filmmaker or programmer, but here in Germany things go different.
    I want to move out soon as well, but the thing is no one can do the exact same steps Casey did to become successful.
    People here are unfriendly, there are no job opportunities except for becoming a farmer, and becoming a filmmaker is the hardest thing to do at all. I am sick of my country... The way it behaves and is drags me down every day, I just want to get out of here, meet new people. Actually, why not move to NYC as well?
    RUclips has been up for several years now, but trying to focus on YT now is pretty worthless. Casey used his chances by discovering RUclips in the early days. Now there are just too many channels and people there.
    To be honest, I wish my life was harder, so I would actually work for something. Im just sitting at home every day, thinking how to improve my life. It leads nowhere.
    Casey achieved so much I will never even be able to see... But I cant leave my family, and Germany isnt helping in any way at all.
    Of course he only Vlogs when he's in good mood, but things seem to be running great for him. The way we get education here drives me crazy. Its pretty much useless when 90% of what we do is unneeded. School doesn't teach us how to live life. How to be successful. How to become a Filmmaker.
    I dont know what to do...
    I need a new start.

Even if u have to begin to clean toilets and more - you choose how to live in your place - not the city does . Some people start with illegal things to earn money - get caught and then they had to earn money by real hard work like doing whole 16 hour a day , nightshift and more . And now they are programmers or artists and own more money than i would earn in my whole life

      +Tahir Akkaya Well, yeah. But I sort of have to get somewhere. Its not garantueed to become something better when starting off with a worse job at first. If I'd wanted to be programmer I would need some kind of programming skills/educatio first. I just dont know how to get them...

      ***** I think he will, it just takes time to get that many subs, I just found his channel a couple of weeks ago myself.

    'NeiMac' I love it. My friend Holly had the same one when we were in Middle School. It had the coolest screen saver. Paper, scissors, and a rock would wonder around screen and fight each other. It was awesome. Great memories.
    Loved this video.
