    Wow! This was the most candid "day in the life" video I've seen. Thank you!
    Secondly, I just wanted to say I hope you're doing well.
    I'm hoping you've found a better work-life balance.
    What you're doing is not sustainable in the long run (you need more sleep!)
    Best,

I hope that you can save enough money to quit soon and find a job that doesn't suck the life out of you

You are spending all of your day (7:30am-11:30pm) at the office and corporate convinced you that you need to be thankful for this... You are thankful for them paying for your dinner... How about eating a nice and healthy meal at home and enjoy some time with your family and friend. Weak up! You are their slave.

      You don’t get it. After 10 years of work, you make roughly 3M.
      At this time you are around 33 years old. You should be director and earn around 600k per year.
      If you are smart, you could quickly stop working and invest all that money to live comfortably for the rest of your life.
      When she is done working you’ll have to work for another 30 years.

How to pass it on responsably so workers can go on, when the owner wants out. Or if a company needs more capital to grow, how to achieve this without beeing taken over too much.
