I Left a $60,000 Degree to Make Videos

I realized stability isn't guaranteed, even if I chose a career that would give me a stable job.
Choosing to be self-employed and start my own business many years ago was the best decision I could make, and it's forced me to grow in ways I may have not - had I settled.
My parents strongly encouraged me to choose a path that was more secure, but internally I knew that was just not how I'm wired, so I had to forge my own path.

This is amazing, and there's a lot to take away from this video. Thank you, seriously. Definitely staying subscribed with you brotha! Stay creative!

Thank you, Jake! Appreciate the encouragement and you taking the time to say that :)

Really resonated with me being a self-employed filmmaker myself. I am also thinking of moving to Vancouver CA from the states... how do you like it there?

[@andrewjohnipe]

Good on you for taking the risk!
Vancouver can be a tough place to live in as it’s rainy/cloudy through the winter and there’s a higher cost of living in general. A lot of people also find it hard to make connections here, but if you find a community - it’s a lovely place to be, as there’s mountains, the ocean and a relatively chill ‘small city’ vibe.
Best of luck in your move, if and when you do!
