These kinds of videos are such hidden gems, and I'm so glad the internet has made people like you available to the rest of us. Before the internet a young person like me would be constrained to the advice of my peers, but thanks to the internet: I can hear your advice.
So true. I did attend good schools but they certainly did not discuss anywhere near enough about real world jobs and opportunities. I didn’t feel inspired at school. That came to me in my early 20s and I’ve never looked back. 🙂
Just found your channel, like your honesty. Wish my father had followed your advice. He worked as a radiologist 12 - 14 hours a day, 6 days a week, never had time for holidays, never had time for anything and 3 months after his pension he had a stroke and lived as a plant for another 10 years before he died. I am not going to make that mistake, am happy to see you came to 'your senses'.
Same my grandad, worked his ass, and had a multiple strokes just few years in to his retirement. I did not enjoy him as much as he and I wished. Dont work you ass off and most def if its not your business.
@@AaAa-bp9zf they mean like a cabbage/vegetable. If English isn’t your 1st language it basically means they cannot physical do anything anymore, the brain is alive, but the body doesn’t function.
This comment hits a nerve. I'm young (ish - 47) and 13 months ago covid fucked me almost to death. 10 days after infection i had a massive stroke caused entirely by damage to my lungs by the awful disease. I'm in something of a transitional phase. Physically im sort of OK. Mentally im a wreck. Ive no idea if i will ever be able to work again, (NHS/ healthcare, im NOT a doc, caught covid at work from a patient most likely, was working on ITU). So now i will need to decide what my life will be going forward. Tricky thing to sort out, nearly 30 years doing one thing, quite late in the day to retrain, and honestly mentally im not what i was. So... who knows. What i do know is life is absurd, and absurdly short. Look after your health, and FFS try to find somthing you want to do.
I really like your attitude and how humble you talk about your life. Every individual has pros and cons, that’s how we are. Maybe you are more patient then you think. Being a consultant or advisor requires a lot of patience and in depth knowledge. You can always hook me up, if you want to learn german. In my opinion, being nice and patient are key attributes to teach certain things. Being motivated and passionate is most of what it takes to master something. You have a great channel and I really appreciate your non BS approach. Have a nice sunday. Greetings from germany.
Enoyed every second of this video, tremendously boosted my motivation. I'm thinking about pursuing a path that leads to becoming an international bussines consultant for quit awhile now. It's a breath of fresh air to see someone with real knowledge and experience share their story, tired of this fake entrepreneur youtube celebrities, who read couple of books and start preaching. Keep up the good work man 🤘😉
When you reach 60 your objective is to develop something no one ever done and enjoy your own invention/discovery. That is me; took me nearly 60 years : now I can make $10,000/day or $30,000/day or $60,000/day etc.. because of the invention. Cheers Le D Ben AUSTRALIA
Amazing video. I am a 26 year old healthcare worker in Australia who is unsure whether to keep pursuing growth within my current space or to delve into the business space. There is a part of me which believes that I am more suited for specialist jobs rather than managing people/teams. However, I do enjoy making money and want to be my own boss doing something that I really enjoy. My current occupation has some barriers for opening a practice namely expensive equipment so I was thinking of potentially studying a degree which would allow me to eventually open my own practice. Your video inspires me to be more courageous and take the necessary steps to achieve my goals.
Refreshing to have a straight talking and to the point video rather than the click bait found elsewhere. PS love the sound of the Aston, there is nothing like them (and that’s from a Porsche man!)
Thank you for sharing not only your passion for cars but also your background. You are very inspiring and motivating. I earn 44k per year currently and thought until now have a reasonably comfortable life. I hope one day to live a life like yours, being able to take time out of work to pursue my interests and goals. Very inspiring
Awesome video Ethan. Business owner in New Zealand here, you've given a great insight into how limitless we are if we apply ourselves (especially during such a tough time to get motivated - C19) so thanks for the kick up the a*se I needed. Need an events/audiovisual technician? ;)
Incredibly inspiring, as I can relate 100% being a doctor over here in Germany, having just saved one‘s live by resuscitation in the middle of the night one moment before and then being treated like shit again one moment later and not feeling well compensated for the effort. Now thinking about changes and already in the process of installing changes, with - as you mentioned - being able to come back any time if I change my mind. 🙂 Love your honest, humble, motivating and inspiring words!
I never understood these crazy 24h shifts for doctors...its just crazy ...how can u save human lives and dont do any mistakes beeing that tired and with so much responsability...what the hospitals are doing with this is an attack at patience health
Dear Ethan, found your channel randomly based on RUclips recommendations. I’m from Prague where I built a startup for meal personalisation currently making a decent mrr and helping thousands people. I’m an IT guy, not a manager, currently struggling with HR where I faced the exact thing you’re mentioning in this video: talent and ambitions work much better than degree, also struggling with company structure. I know I can’t probably afford you, but maybe we can have a conversation/consultation on this topic. Also we have offers for acquisition that might be even closer for you.
It is quite funny how life sometime seems to give unexpected clue or advice in the most bizarre way : I was looking at videos of the 2021 718 Boxter S and randomly bumped into your video. What immediately amazed me is how familiar your history looked to me (or it's initial part, at least). Here is why: I am now 33 years old, I have left surgery 2 years ago, at the very end of my residency (for reasons looking pretty similar to yours). I have, since then, attended a business school and hope now to join the pharmaceutical industry (while being passionate enough to make a bit of profit with some fintech skills in the meantime). Those similarities, even for the Cartesian mind I would like to think I am, convinced me your vlog might be some kind of sign (out of RUclips's tricky algorithm). I will further reflect on the insights you have the kindness to share here and can't thank you enough for this.
Damn...that's a nice career shift. I'm in a similar situation, also a doctor, I like my job but I can't even imagine doing this for the rest of my life even though the salary is very satisfactory but these night shifts are killing me, night shifts in radiology are walk in the park compared to surgical but nevertheless im very tired 24/7, cant focus on anything else
Wonderful video Ethan! It’s so great to see/hear of someone making such a tough decision career switching and being rewarded ultimately with such happiness. Medicine is one of the hardest professions to switch from I expect too as it normally has such a singular focus of career for people. I hope the language learning went well sir 😎🙌
Hardest profession?? I doubt it purely reading texts and absorb them boring indeed. Project Engineering in absolute thrill my friend; but wait RAT dancing a Salsa with B& W Cow is the best. Thks
Medicine is indeed extremely challenging. In most countries though it is poorly compensated given the skill needed and the significance of what doctors do. In the US though, at least many areas of medicine are well compensated and I think its terrible to have low motivation for doctors in most European countries.
Hugely interesting profile. In some ways I have a similar outlook. I enjoy challenging environments and making a change. I'm currently working as a FP&A Director which partly satisfied and hungry to make things happen. Its an interesting area you're in, I love to crack into your world. I have a few bits of paper but that's a door opener rather than something that defines me.
I thought you were going to say you go to the bank and withdraw money from a trust fund for a living. Thanks for your insight. Well done. Ferrari , Aston Martins and Porsches are cars I'll never have to worry about.
Never say never Peter. I started with absolutely nothing from a family with nothing and sat here tonight I have 4 Porsches in the driveway. Grit and determination will get you further than cunning and guile.
People like you are gems in society, but it takes one’s self worth and conscious to wake up within you to realize what you need to change about yourself that impacts people around you. Idk I’m still young, but I’ve always treated people how I would like to be treated. I don’t look for luxury in my life, but I do want the best caring people around me. It’s human nature to look out for others and them look out for you. Maybe my ambition is somewhere where I can help people and help them feel good it’s always made me happy knowing I tried helping someone. But what scares me is spending the money I don’t have to get a education that pays well, maybe because of my upbringing and location it has been difficult to truly understand what I want to pursue in life, best of luck thank you for the motivation from a wise sir.
As someone who graduated from Princeton, it’s very short sided and arbitrary to someone’s speech to determine if they’re educated or not. Someone’s speech does not dictate weather they’re smart, intelligent or neither of the aforementioned.
@@EthanFromLondon You're too modest. I think it's admirable that you would sacrifice your career in medicine in order to put your patients' welfare first and then adapt effortlessly to a new career direction. I think it's good for people like me to see people like you who can achieve their personal and professional goals whilst remaining principled.
Ordinary, yet extraordinary.... to adapt, change but importantly, to believe doing what one truly likes and.. doing it! Many dream, few dare to follow their dreams... That's the difference hence, extraordinary.
I enjoy the way you communicate your message, and find you inspiring. Thank you for your insight. I work as an IT recruiter, with my industry some of my peers, we get a bad reputation. I work in a way now, with similar briefs to you, transparency and honesty. I have great clients, and consultants. Life is long, treat people well, and you will work with them again in some sort of capacity.
To be fair, there are still a lot of recruitment companies, especially in the IT sector, that are dishonest and outright crooked. Also. Just about every recruitment consultant thinks they know enough within a year or two and spin up yet another recruitment company. Generally speaking these people struggle because they do not understand the business development aspect.
Good video but the MBA is not just about theory, its also about networking, making country connections and deals.Usually better done out of country.Do you have a website for your consulting practice?
Inspiring story Ethan, I have had a very similar path to you. Doctor by profession, but passionate about tech and AI in particular and have gone to start a software company
Just found your Channel and love your content and cars. Going to Uni for Cyber security but may go a different study if I feel it doesn’t suit me. Career path for cyber security is high paying like 100K a year so working toward my ultimate goal of being super wealthy with nice cars like you have.
Your one of the most tremendous and amazing cute people, I've ever seen in my life. The way you say good morning actually made me fall in love with you instantly. When you're getting back to London, I'll get you some flowers and Champagne. All the love from St. Petersberg. You'll aways have a place in my heart.
Great to finally hear what you do! very interesting as well. I am a business student right now and trying to get into an MBA. Consulting is something I would like to do when I'm graduated. Maybe I will see you when you're in Amsterdam ;)
A large majority of people who had expensive cars when I grew up were gangsters and we unfortunately and stupidly used to look up to them I'm pleased to hear that young people are looking up to you and your profession through the cars. Yes, it's materialistic, but of course's better to look up to someone like yourself than a gangster and obviously I hope people go into your profession for the good work the job entails and not for the cars alone. I personally know myself after losing my left eye due to an ocular melanoma in 2020 how wonderful you guys are in your profession as well as all Doctors and nurses. They are Angels on Earth and all should be living a millionaire lifestyle, not these footballers who kick a ball around a field for 90 minutes. Thank you for the work you do. God bless you, your family, friends, everyone around you, and everyone reading this.
Great video in my humble opinion and experiences I fully concur that it is all about people and how we can nurture them to think, problem solve on their own so they can see that they bring value and eventually grow professionally. The greatest feedback I have ever received from a team member was to tell me thank you for making them feel valuable.
Your “Ferrari ownership” video brought me here I am subscribed for your generosity in sharing everything in life I may learn from Love how impeccable you are dressed!
Thanks for your videos, I work for a big multinational but looking to change and fulfil my own personal goals, you would make a great mentor and life coach would like to reach out to you to get some more advice. Thank you.
Such an interesting video! I am totally feeling your journey. I am young, but already know that the jobs I'm studying for will most likely not fulfill me personally. For many others, it might be their dream job, but deep down I know it probably just won't be it for me. Your video inspires me to keep my hopes up that I will find my way, even though it doesn't feel like it most of the time. I'll also consider consulting as a career since I have always enjoyed making other people happy if I had helpful advice. Thank you so much for sharing your story and especially, thanks for the honesty! 🙏
Reinventing yourself is not easy. I have changed course successfully a number of times during my lifetime. Electrical engineer, Air conditioning engineer, food process engineer ,Ships engineer,(All very different from each other) Restauranteur(I do not recommend) Imports agent, Dog breeder (more a paid hobby)and finally Bitcoin trader(my most successful career move) Each change brought more returns than the previous financially. I am now retired at 60 and enjoying life without work. My advice would be ,if you are not enjoying what you are doing move on, life is too short
Hi Jo you are like me; I was a Mech Engineer for The Aus Navy working on Frigates, Submarines and Mine Hunters etc; A/C Engineer for Public Works; Materials Handling Engineer for Coal Industries and for AGL for Turnkey Project to Natural Gas etc... Finally my Curiosity has led me from 1994 to develop a RAT dancing with SALSA Cow Technology and System to create a lot of Dollars anywhere, any time . I am now 70 and still as sharp or better brain stem than others at 30s..How about $10,000/day sound?. Cheers BJ
Great video Ethan, Enjoyable and interesting I operate a Global Consultancy, EMEA and APAC and I can affirm that doing something you enjoy each day is hugely rewarding, rather than the "Dread" of going into a business that doesn't value you, doing the same thing each day/week/month. I liked your Steve Jobs analogy, I do my MBA Presentation on Apple and Steve it was enjoyable and shaped me future post that, I look back on that as a time changing moment in my career.
Steve Jobs was a vicious, vile human but what he led people to do has had immense benefits. I've read many dozens of biographies and many "great" men were nasty humans, but Jobs was uniquely vicious to people.
Ethan, I stumbled on your channel and found your Ferrari video interesting and transparent. I'm a doctor in California and have spent a career doing night/day shifts, high acuity cases and long hours. Congratulations on your transition toward fulfillment! You obviously are into cars. Have you considered a Tesla? That's what I drive-it satisfies my technology interest (software/I have FSD beta, efficiency, performance). It could preheat and defrost while you're getting ready... For you I suggest the Model S Plaid.
Different thing, different day. My dream job. While in quarantine, I realized that I couldn’t do the same thing different day, I hated it. It’s now just one big mashed memory with no differences between the months that quarantine took up. I’m glad I realized this before I went into the workforce. I’m only 23, so there’s a lot to learn in my future.
Although Steve Jobs accomplished at lot (especially for an orphan that didn't have wealthy adoptive parents) he wasn't always the greatest guy to work for if you ask some of his employees.
I like your mindset. To give up your job without knowing what tomorrow brings was a risk worth taking in my opinion. You're an example to a lot of people.
thank you Ethan. I very much enjoyed your video - I especially appreciated your relaxed style and conversational approach. I am glad I found your channel and will enjoy the back catalogue of work and of course, eagerly await new material. 😊👍
So true. You can love your work, but a bad new boss can wreck all of that and even make you quit. Micro-management is the worst. If you trusted and hired me to do a job, let me get on with it. I will probably not do it exactly as you would have done it, but judge me by results.
I happened to stumble on your channel by accident as I have been researching into buying a 986 Boxster S. I am really enjoying the Porsche content as well as your honesty and openness about your life. In fact, it was your non-Porsche videos that made me subscribe! I am going through him and listening to them while at work. I am very happy for your success and thank you so much sharing it with everyone! Keep up the great content..oh and how about a tour of your house!! :)
I really enjoyed this video. So many excellent life lessons explored during your storytelling; the one about Steve Jobs really struck a chord with me and reminded me that how you make people feel is at least as important as how much productivity you can get out of a team. Very much looking forward to seeing your other videos.
Ethan u r awesome. Thank you for your story. I just left my law job for similar reasons to the ones u mentioned and am around the same age. This is so inspiring. Thank you again.
Watched to the end. I found this fascinating. Well done. I am a new subscriber. I put myself through the University of Heidelberg back in the 1980s graduating in Economics and Germanistik. I should have stayed, because the U.S. does not value on bit multi-lingual people (French, German, Polish, and North American Spanish). Despite a Masters in Accounting, with top marks, as well, from an American top University, I unfortunately work a minimum wage job with no prospects. This is why I subscribed. I need a dose of Ethan. I refuse to go on the dole.
@@Carlos_de_Amesquita he meant he learned Spanish with some of the slang and localizations from North America. You know, like how Brits say lift and Americans say Elevator, or using the word dreamed vs dreamt, or in the case of Spanish, the use of vosotros vs not using vosotros. Why give the guy a hard time?
Tips for people who looses sunglasses: Buy more expensive ones. If they are expensive enough, you make sure to keep track on them. Edit: Now I have looked at the whole video. One of the most important videos I have seen in years. Thanks for uploading!
Thank you so much for the honesty and the background. That curiosity to learn is a key winning trait already. You have a new subscriber. And that engine noise in the background is heavenly.
Love the attitude of hiring people based on their ambition and talent and not just because they have a certain qualification. I like the fact that more companies are being inclusive in that way too.
That v12 cold start is a motivator itself. I have similar approach to people management and have similar succesful outcomes and positive stories from my employees. Interesting story, surprised you invested all that time in an MBA, i wouldn't given real life experience now. All the best!
Being rich and acting rich are two different things. Most of the people that are showing off all day (specially doctors/attorneys.etc) in youtube are acting rich. They spend well above their means because society puts a label on them making them think what it's not. 'Millionaire next door' or 'Stop acting rich' are eye opening books that make understand this. People with money don't show off this way.
I met a guy who changed my life Dieter from Germany he was in his late 80's I worked free for him for five years until he passed away. The field was refrigeration building chiller's large hvac unit's.
Great advice. God Bless you for bringing happiness to those that come in contact with you and those that as a ripple effect get to feel that happiness too!
I'm 45 and spent the first half of my life selling school buses, I moved up to sales manager and I always loved helping people. I left that career after getting burned out and entered healthcare. It again was not a good fit for me. I crack the whip on my ass and took some courses and got certified in IT. I now work for one of my state's largest employers with over 27,000 employees. It is never too late to learn something new. Be the best you stop wasting time like I did. Learn something, get certified or get a degree your life will change remarkably
Friend. What was the IT course? How long do you need to study and where do you end up? I've spent the last 22 years doing the wrong thing. I need to change.
@@jojonesjojo8919 I started with the Google IT professional course available online from Coursera. The classes are six weeks (it took me way less because you can work at your own pace I just would sue two weeks in one) then once I had three of the five certifications I started applying to Help Desk positions. That’s the key in the door for IT almost everyone who didn’t graduate with a doctorate in computer science starts at the help desk but that’s not where you’ll stay if you continue your education. Not that help desk is bad it’s just an office gig remotely fixing machines. I happened to work for a huge hospital in Upstate NY in their ISD they are the fifth largest employer in All of NY. You can do it.
@@jeremypilot1015 thanks a lot Jeremy. Would you say that you are a particularly smart fellow, do you have a special aptitude for IT? Asking because I want to change career. I'm a better than average graduate I'd say. Would that be enough or would I be out of my depth?
@@jojonesjojo8919 I have played with computers all of my life and I can tell you my experience is, no matter what you have learned about computers each facility will employ those tools differently and you will have to learn their system. But as with any training you will learn in time.
I really enjoy listening to you talking, in all your videos. You have a special communication talent. You look so genuine and down to earth person. At the same time so classy and royal
God I don’t know how people live there…. That weather is horrible! Nice Aston tho. Shame she’s not parked in a proper garage. Would def fix that ice issue. LoL. Be well Sir.
I don't know why or how this video popped up, but after watching the Ferrari vid I ended up here. I don't subscribe to everything I like but your personality and the way the information is delivered is simply good and that Aston which I presume it is one you're driving in this video sounds really good. I'm a photographer and I live in the Caribbean and I desire to visit the UK with possibility of living there too, I like it, I think I'll fit in perfectly, your videos make sense as they add value, cheers.
Ethan, this happens even today in Greece. Doctors do their nighτ shift and next morning their day shift. Not every day, but at least 2 times per week. I find it inhuman. And we don't even have a lack of doctors...
I appreciate what you do so. And the most difficult moment in every start up is the very first step. If I come any hospital in my city and tell them let me integrate something for you I will be kicked off for sure. Because I'm nobody. So I suppose for the good start you cannot be a student, but fully qualufied doctor with good name.
Moral of the story - Don't give up your soul for any job. Have the courage to make a change, and realized the only limitations are the ones self imposed. Money and cars are secondary. Personal happiness is much more valuable.
Fantastic content! Coming from an engineering / process improvement and operations management background much of what you've described in dealing with teams and individuals resonates with me very much. Liked, subscribed and will be following with interest.
Thanks! You are also a great mentor. I overlooked your nice car and expensive clothing, so i could fully concentrate on your words and thoughts. Very inspiring. Maybe someday i will be your next subscriber👍👍👍
You're a very interesting person. I just discovered this channel and I'm cautivated by your life. Hey you even look like a real life James Bond. No wonder some people want to be like you.
The most interesting projects are integration types of projects. Especially when you have a health system and you are bringing on specialized ancillary systems. Secondary projects that I’ve enjoyed doing are migration types of projects. I stepped aways from healthcare the past year, but I find myself longing for that experience.
As a doctor you have the ability to understand complex people and get them to trust you. Its very rare to find such people in the IT world who have technical skills but are emotionally weak...
I have an idea that might totally transform for the better the way large organizations are developing software and I don't know how to contact the right people at large organizations. Any tips about that?
I'm a doctor working ophthalmology too. I subscribed while watching the first video I saw of you, "the truth about Ferrari ownership" which I watched minutes before watching this one, and I look forward to watching more. I like your honesty most of all.

ProTip: If you get steamy windows from inside, just turn on A/C, not regular fans, but A/C. It will dry up the air inside and windows will clear out. No matter if you turn on the heating or cooling, just turn A/C on.
Yup! A/C is always a dehumidifier.
And open up the window just a couple of cm.

Incredibly inspiring, as I can relate 100% being a doctor over here in Germany, having just saved one‘s live by resuscitation in the middle of the night one moment before and then being treated like shit again one moment later and not feeling well compensated for the effort. Now thinking about changes and already in the process of installing changes, with - as you mentioned - being able to come back any time if I change my mind. 🙂
Love your honest, humble, motivating and inspiring words!
I never understood these crazy 24h shifts for doctors...its just crazy ...how can u save human lives and dont do any mistakes beeing that tired and with so much responsability...what the hospitals are doing with this is an attack at patience health
Dear Ethan, found your channel randomly based on RUclips recommendations. I’m from Prague where I built a startup for meal personalisation currently making a decent mrr and helping thousands people. I’m an IT guy, not a manager, currently struggling with HR where I faced the exact thing you’re mentioning in this video: talent and ambitions work much better than degree, also struggling with company structure. I know I can’t probably afford you, but maybe we can have a conversation/consultation on this topic. Also we have offers for acquisition that might be even closer for you.
“Give me a week’s worth of unpaid work” to prove myself is how a serious person can always get a job.
It is quite funny how life sometime seems to give unexpected clue or advice in the most bizarre way : I was looking at videos of the 2021 718 Boxter S and randomly bumped into your video. What immediately amazed me is how familiar your history looked to me (or it's initial part, at least).
Here is why: I am now 33 years old, I have left surgery 2 years ago, at the very end of my residency (for reasons looking pretty similar to yours). I have, since then, attended a business school and hope now to join the pharmaceutical industry (while being passionate enough to make a bit of profit with some fintech skills in the meantime). Those similarities, even for the Cartesian mind I would like to think I am, convinced me your vlog might be some kind of sign (out of RUclips's tricky algorithm). I will further reflect on the insights you have the kindness to share here and can't thank you enough for this.
(And I really shouldn't be allowed to write while tired, please forgive my awful 1AM-ish English)
@@judasnana Its Ok not too bad; conveyed the message forget all the BS you are winner brothr
Damn...that's a nice career shift. I'm in a similar situation, also a doctor, I like my job but I can't even imagine doing this for the rest of my life even though the salary is very satisfactory but these night shifts are killing me, night shifts in radiology are walk in the park compared to surgical but nevertheless im very tired 24/7, cant focus on anything else
I noticed one thing that helps build wealth straight off……no wedding ring lol
Nice video sir. Stay strong and healthy.
Each child costs around £500k up to the age of 18 in the U.K. so that’s quite a few cars 😂
No kids too. That is a cost of a Ferrari as well.
Wonderful video Ethan! It’s so great to see/hear of someone making such a tough decision career switching and being rewarded ultimately with such happiness. Medicine is one of the hardest professions to switch from I expect too as it normally has such a singular focus of career for people. I hope the language learning went well sir 😎🙌
Hardest profession?? I doubt it purely reading texts and absorb them boring indeed. Project Engineering in absolute thrill my friend; but wait RAT dancing a Salsa with B& W Cow is the best. Thks
Medicine is indeed extremely challenging. In most countries though it is poorly compensated given the skill needed and the significance of what doctors do. In the US though, at least many areas of medicine are well compensated and I think its terrible to have low motivation for doctors in most European countries.
Hugely interesting profile. In some ways I have a similar outlook. I enjoy challenging environments and making a change. I'm currently working as a FP&A Director which partly satisfied and hungry to make things happen. Its an interesting area you're in, I love to crack into your world. I have a few bits of paper but that's a door opener rather than something that defines me.
I thought you were going to say you go to the bank and withdraw money from a trust fund for a living. Thanks for your insight. Well done. Ferrari , Aston Martins and Porsches are cars I'll never have to worry about.
Never say never Peter. I started with absolutely nothing from a family with nothing and sat here tonight I have 4 Porsches in the driveway. Grit and determination will get you further than cunning and guile.
People like you are gems in society, but it takes one’s self worth and conscious to wake up within you to realize what you need to change about yourself that impacts people around you. Idk I’m still young, but I’ve always treated people how I would like to be treated. I don’t look for luxury in my life, but I do want the best caring people around me. It’s human nature to look out for others and them look out for you. Maybe my ambition is somewhere where I can help people and help them feel good it’s always made me happy knowing I tried helping someone. But what scares me is spending the money I don’t have to get a education that pays well, maybe because of my upbringing and location it has been difficult to truly understand what I want to pursue in life, best of luck thank you for the motivation from a wise sir.
I knew that you were a doctor. It’s different how educated people talk and speech.
As someone who graduated from Princeton, it’s very short sided and arbitrary to someone’s speech to determine if they’re educated or not. Someone’s speech does not dictate weather they’re smart, intelligent or neither of the aforementioned.
@@tommykaira7619 or, you or the tosser making this vid have their heads up their arse. What a total waste of time
@@tommykaira7619 Case in point.
I think this man's brain works at three times the speed of mine. The very illustration of a high achiever.
Tom Ripley Too kind. I am just an ordinary guy
@@EthanFromLondon You're too modest. I think it's admirable that you would sacrifice your career in medicine in order to put your patients' welfare first and then adapt effortlessly to a new career direction. I think it's good for people like me to see people like you who can achieve their personal and professional goals whilst remaining principled.
Ordinary, yet extraordinary....
to adapt, change but importantly, to believe doing what one truly likes and.. doing it!
Many dream, few dare to follow their dreams...
That's the difference hence, extraordinary.
I enjoy the way you communicate your message, and find you inspiring. Thank you for your insight.
I work as an IT recruiter, with my industry some of my peers, we get a bad reputation. I work in a way now, with similar briefs to you, transparency and honesty. I have great clients, and consultants. Life is long, treat people well, and you will work with them again in some sort of capacity.
To be fair, there are still a lot of recruitment companies, especially in the IT sector, that are dishonest and outright crooked.
Also. Just about every recruitment consultant thinks they know enough within a year or two and spin up yet another recruitment company. Generally speaking these people struggle because they do not understand the business development aspect.
Good video but the MBA is not just about theory, its also about networking, making country connections and deals.Usually better done out of country.Do you have a website for your consulting practice?
I love how you totally summed up the annual corporate review. I wish I saw this video when I worked for Abbott, I totally would have said that.
Inspiring story Ethan, I have had a very similar path to you. Doctor by profession, but passionate about tech and AI in particular and have gone to start a software company
What type of software
Do I detect a slight South African accent? Great videos, thank you!
Just found your Channel and love your content and cars. Going to Uni for Cyber security but may go a different study if I feel it doesn’t suit me. Career path for cyber security is high paying like 100K a year so working toward my ultimate goal of being super wealthy with nice cars like you have.
Don’t study for money, 100k a year is not a lot in certain places. I made over 200k in San Francisco and doesn’t qualify for a mortgage.
Number one mistake: do something for money/materialistic
@@LLANTALOBOTOMIKpoor mindset, do it for free and be miserable without cash$
Your one of the most tremendous and amazing cute people, I've ever seen in my life. The way you say good morning actually made me fall in love with you instantly. When you're getting back to London, I'll get you some flowers and Champagne. All the love from St. Petersberg. You'll aways have a place in my heart.
Great to finally hear what you do! very interesting as well. I am a business student right now and trying to get into an MBA. Consulting is something I would like to do when I'm graduated. Maybe I will see you when you're in Amsterdam ;)
thanks and sure it would be great to hear from a local in Amsterdam :)
A large majority of people who had expensive cars when I grew up were gangsters and we unfortunately and stupidly used to look up to them
I'm pleased to hear that young people are looking up to you and your profession through the cars.
Yes, it's materialistic, but of course's better to look up to someone like yourself than a gangster and obviously I hope people go into your profession for the good work the job entails and not for the cars alone.
I personally know myself after losing my left eye due to an ocular melanoma in 2020 how wonderful you guys are in your profession as well as all Doctors and nurses. They are Angels on Earth and all should be living a millionaire lifestyle, not these footballers who kick a ball around a field for 90 minutes.
Thank you for the work you do. God bless you, your family, friends, everyone around you, and everyone reading this.
Great video in my humble opinion and experiences I fully concur that it is all about people and how we can nurture them to think, problem solve on their own so they can see that they bring value and eventually grow professionally. The greatest feedback I have ever received from a team member was to tell me thank you for making them feel valuable.
You and I actually do the exact same thing for a living with the exception of myself being a holding company allocating business equity. Wow
Heated windscreen are standard on even the cheapest Volvo, a preheater can be installed... even in a AM.
Your “Ferrari ownership” video brought me here I am subscribed for your generosity in sharing everything in life I may learn from
Love how impeccable you are dressed!
Thanks for your videos, I work for a big multinational but looking to change and fulfil my own personal goals, you would make a great mentor and life coach would like to reach out to you to get some more advice. Thank you.
Such an interesting video! I am totally feeling your journey. I am young, but already know that the jobs I'm studying for will most likely not fulfill me personally. For many others, it might be their dream job, but deep down I know it probably just won't be it for me. Your video inspires me to keep my hopes up that I will find my way, even though it doesn't feel like it most of the time. I'll also consider consulting as a career since I have always enjoyed making other people happy if I had helpful advice. Thank you so much for sharing your story and especially, thanks for the honesty! 🙏
A very interesting and inspiring story. I know it is a few years old but still, thank you for this insight.
Reinventing yourself is not easy. I have changed course successfully a number of times during my lifetime.
Electrical engineer, Air conditioning engineer, food process engineer ,Ships engineer,(All very different from each other) Restauranteur(I do not recommend) Imports agent, Dog breeder (more a paid hobby)and finally Bitcoin trader(my most successful career move) Each change brought more returns than the previous financially.
I am now retired at 60 and enjoying life without work. My advice would be ,if you are not enjoying what you are doing move on, life is too short
Hi Jo you are like me; I was a Mech Engineer for The Aus Navy working on Frigates, Submarines and Mine Hunters etc; A/C Engineer for Public Works; Materials Handling Engineer for Coal Industries and for AGL for Turnkey Project to Natural Gas etc... Finally my Curiosity has led me from 1994 to develop a RAT dancing with SALSA Cow Technology and System to create a lot of Dollars anywhere, any time . I am now 70 and still as sharp or better brain stem than others at 30s..How about $10,000/day sound?. Cheers BJ
@@chavale2 $10,000 a day is a great congratulations.Enjoy!
Do people ever tell you that you sound a bit like Chris Eubank?
Great video Ethan, Enjoyable and interesting I operate a Global Consultancy, EMEA and APAC and I can affirm that doing something you enjoy each day is hugely rewarding, rather than the "Dread" of going into a business that doesn't value you, doing the same thing each day/week/month. I liked your Steve Jobs analogy, I do my MBA Presentation on Apple and Steve it was enjoyable and shaped me future post that, I look back on that as a time changing moment in my career.
Steve Jobs was a vicious, vile human but what he led people to do has had immense benefits. I've read many dozens of biographies and many "great" men were nasty humans, but Jobs was uniquely vicious to people.
Ethan, I stumbled on your channel and found your Ferrari video interesting and transparent. I'm a doctor in California and have spent a career doing night/day shifts, high acuity cases and long hours. Congratulations on your transition toward fulfillment! You obviously are into cars. Have you considered a Tesla? That's what I drive-it satisfies my technology interest (software/I have FSD beta, efficiency, performance). It could preheat and defrost while you're getting ready... For you I suggest the Model S Plaid.
I am glad you like your car but a Tesla is too plain for me. I would never buy one.
you have a really nice style. I want to wear a bowtie lol
Different thing, different day. My dream job. While in quarantine, I realized that I couldn’t do the same thing different day, I hated it. It’s now just one big mashed memory with no differences between the months that quarantine took up. I’m glad I realized this before I went into the workforce. I’m only 23, so there’s a lot to learn in my future.
Although Steve Jobs accomplished at lot (especially for an orphan that didn't have wealthy adoptive parents) he wasn't always the greatest guy to work for if you ask some of his employees.
You are too subtle and low key about Jobs. He was a terrible human being.
I like your mindset. To give up your job without knowing what tomorrow brings was a risk worth taking in my opinion. You're an example to a lot of people.
thank you Ethan. I very much enjoyed your video - I especially appreciated your relaxed style and conversational approach. I am glad I found your channel and will enjoy the back catalogue of work and of course, eagerly await new material. 😊👍
I was looking for """examples" of Leica videos and found your channel! Love the insight of your videos!! Keep it up!!
So true. You can love your work, but a bad new boss can wreck all of that and even make you quit. Micro-management is the worst. If you trusted and hired me to do a job, let me get on with it. I will probably not do it exactly as you would have done it, but judge me by results.
I happened to stumble on your channel by accident as I have been researching into buying a 986 Boxster S. I am really enjoying the Porsche content as well as your honesty and openness about your life. In fact, it was your non-Porsche videos that made me subscribe! I am going through him and listening to them while at work. I am very happy for your success and thank you so much sharing it with everyone! Keep up the great content..oh and how about a tour of your house!! :)
Marven Massey thanks. Will do one day when I get a chance
I really enjoyed this video. So many excellent life lessons explored during your storytelling; the one about Steve Jobs really struck a chord with me and reminded me that how you make people feel is at least as important as how much productivity you can get out of a team. Very much looking forward to seeing your other videos.
Thanks Saul
Ethan u r awesome. Thank you for your story. I just left my law job for similar reasons to the ones u mentioned and am around the same age. This is so inspiring. Thank you again.
Even dressed up as 007
Watched to the end. I found this fascinating. Well done. I am a new subscriber. I put myself through the University of Heidelberg back in the 1980s graduating in Economics and Germanistik. I should have stayed, because the U.S. does not value on bit multi-lingual people (French, German, Polish, and North American Spanish). Despite a Masters in Accounting, with top marks, as well, from an American top University, I unfortunately work a minimum wage job with no prospects. This is why I subscribed. I need a dose of Ethan. I refuse to go on the dole.
Sorry mate, there is no such thing as "american spanish", or it is spanish or it is not.
@@Carlos_de_Amesquita he meant he learned Spanish with some of the slang and localizations from North America. You know, like how Brits say lift and Americans say Elevator, or using the word dreamed vs dreamt, or in the case of Spanish, the use of vosotros vs not using vosotros. Why give the guy a hard time?
I work in the same field, but alas, without the Ferrari and town house.
Great inspiring video. Mergers and acquisitions is an exciting space to be in. I have been through the journey few times.
Tips for people who looses sunglasses: Buy more expensive ones. If they are expensive enough, you make sure to keep track on them.
Edit: Now I have looked at the whole video. One of the most important videos I have seen in years. Thanks for uploading!
Went from been a doc to management consultant... now you understand how much the MC's get paid!
Thank you so much for the honesty and the background. That curiosity to learn is a key winning trait already. You have a new subscriber. And that engine noise in the background is heavenly.
Very impressive. You have it together in this life and dedication...
Love the attitude of hiring people based on their ambition and talent and not just because they have a certain qualification. I like the fact that more companies are being inclusive in that way too.
That v12 cold start is a motivator itself. I have similar approach to people management and have similar succesful outcomes and positive stories from my employees. Interesting story, surprised you invested all that time in an MBA, i wouldn't given real life experience now. All the best!
I know what you do for a living EthanYou look like James Bond dress like him and drive amazing cars so…😂🤝👍
Being rich and acting rich are two different things. Most of the people that are showing off all day (specially doctors/attorneys.etc) in youtube are acting rich. They spend well above their means because society puts a label on them making them think what it's not. 'Millionaire next door' or 'Stop acting rich' are eye opening books that make understand this. People with money don't show off this way.
did you interview them all? Quite a sweeping generalization.
I met a guy who changed my life Dieter from Germany he was in his late 80's I worked free for him for five years until he passed away. The field was refrigeration building chiller's large hvac unit's.
Great advice. God Bless you for bringing happiness to those that come in contact with you and those that as a ripple effect get to feel that happiness too!

I'm 45 and spent the first half of my life selling school buses, I moved up to sales manager and I always loved helping people. I left that career after getting burned out and entered healthcare. It again was not a good fit for me. I crack the whip on my ass and took some courses and got certified in IT. I now work for one of my state's largest employers with over 27,000 employees. It is never too late to learn something new. Be the best you stop wasting time like I did. Learn something, get certified or get a degree your life will change remarkably
Friend. What was the IT course? How long do you need to study and where do you end up? I've spent the last 22 years doing the wrong thing. I need to change.
@@jojonesjojo8919 I started with the Google IT professional course available online from Coursera. The classes are six weeks (it took me way less because you can work at your own pace I just would sue two weeks in one) then once I had three of the five certifications I started applying to Help Desk positions. That’s the key in the door for IT almost everyone who didn’t graduate with a doctorate in computer science starts at the help desk but that’s not where you’ll stay if you continue your education. Not that help desk is bad it’s just an office gig remotely fixing machines. I happened to work for a huge hospital in Upstate NY in their ISD they are the fifth largest employer in All of NY. You can do it.
@@jojonesjojo8919 My course is much shorter and will have more impact on your bottom line. How about $10,000/day sound? or $30,000/day ? Cheers BJ
@@jeremypilot1015 thanks a lot Jeremy. Would you say that you are a particularly smart fellow, do you have a special aptitude for IT?
Asking because I want to change career. I'm a better than average graduate I'd say. Would that be enough or would I be out of my depth?
@@jojonesjojo8919 I have played with computers all of my life and I can tell you my experience is, no matter what you have learned about computers each facility will employ those tools differently and you will have to learn their system. But as with any training you will learn in time.
I really enjoy listening to you talking, in all your videos. You have a special communication talent. You look so genuine and down to earth person. At the same time so classy and royal
You are too kind in your comments but I am just a very normal ordinary guy
Stumbled onto your Truth about Ferrari video, landed here and now I'm a new subscriber. Keep the interesting content coming.
God I don’t know how people live there…. That weather is horrible! Nice Aston tho. Shame she’s not parked in a proper garage. Would def fix that ice issue. LoL. Be well Sir.
I don't know why or how this video popped up, but after watching the Ferrari vid I ended up here. I don't subscribe to everything I like but your personality and the way the information is delivered is simply good and that Aston which I presume it is one you're driving in this video sounds really good. I'm a photographer and I live in the Caribbean and I desire to visit the UK with possibility of living there too, I like it, I think I'll fit in perfectly, your videos make sense as they add value, cheers.
7:58 So you worked in mergers like Patrick Bateman?
How old are you now? Quite an active life with lots of changes. Had to reinvent myself several times as well. Exciting but also challenging
Ethan, this happens even today in Greece. Doctors do their nighτ shift and next morning their day shift. Not every day, but at least 2 times per week. I find it inhuman. And we don't even have a lack of doctors...
I appreciate what you do so. And the most difficult moment in every start up is the very first step. If I come any hospital in my city and tell them let me integrate something for you I will be kicked off for sure. Because I'm nobody. So I suppose for the good start you cannot be a student, but fully qualufied doctor with good name.
Moral of the story - Don't give up your soul for any job. Have the courage to make a change, and realized the only limitations are the ones self imposed. Money and cars are secondary. Personal happiness is much more valuable.
Fantastic content! Coming from an engineering / process improvement and operations management background much of what you've described in dealing with teams and individuals resonates with me very much. Liked, subscribed and will be following with interest.
Thanks! You are also a great mentor. I overlooked your nice car and expensive clothing, so i could fully concentrate on your words and thoughts. Very inspiring. Maybe someday i will be your next subscriber👍👍👍
Love what you do, do what you love. I'd like to know about the ring on the your digitus minimus.
You're a very interesting person. I just discovered this channel and I'm cautivated by your life. Hey you even look like a real life James Bond. No wonder some people want to be like you.
Thanks for being transparent and sharing your stories.
So u r a kingsman... nice
Well that's definitely an interesting trip,most people don't quite being a Doctor normally when that happens it involves jail time.
The most interesting projects are integration types of projects. Especially when you have a health system and you are bringing on specialized ancillary systems. Secondary projects that I’ve enjoyed doing are migration types of projects. I stepped aways from healthcare the past year, but I find myself longing for that experience.
Hopefully you dont actually wear that scarf in public places and just had it over your shoulder briefly and by accident.
As a doctor you have the ability to understand complex people and get them to trust you. Its very rare to find such people in the IT world who have technical skills but are emotionally weak...
I have an idea that might totally transform for the better the way large organizations are developing software and I don't know how to contact the right people at large organizations. Any tips about that?
I appreciated a later video of yours where you said you were dumping your Ferrari because its frequent maintenance was more trouble than it was worth.
