I really appreciate what you laying down here. Thank you!!

Jared - this looks good. Continue to use analogies to drive your point. Perspectives are everything and a good story telling measure. 😊

A great chunk of info to take in. I'll probably refer to this a few more times. What struck me as really useful info was making small, incremental steps towards success instead of having the endgame in mind (i.e. a goal that might be years away). Will reflect on that.

Okay, you got my attention. Subbed for the journey!

Love your vids dude. Thank you for helping me learn . Looking forward to all that you have to say in the future .

I was engaged throughout the vid. it is probably the way you sound or the way you told the experience

The last decade of my life has been pretty tumultuous…highest of highs with the lowest of lows… I’ve always tried not to get too caught up in the everyday grind (and maybe it shows because I’ve had a lot of struggles in getting ahead… employers just aren’t paying enough)… but I really do value my sanity and it’s been tested for sure. I’m starting to feel like maybe the corporate life isn’t for me… and in trying to draw from my own passions and the high points of recent years maybe I can find something that I can turn into a career… because yes, what is “fine” just isn’t cutting it anymore. It’s like things moved too fast for too long for me to ever be ok with what I feel stuck doing now. Hope that made sense… it’s been at least a couple years of heavy brainstorming and building up some ideas here and there, I just hope I can finally stumble on an “a-ha” moment soon.

Love this mindset and the thought that it’s never too late. For such a small channel you’ve made such a good point that will definitely stick with me. Keep up the videos

Really helpful video Jared!

Do you have children?

Basically finding a new job is the main problem.

God shut up already

This was the beginning of my 6 year downward spirial. I was positive I had more value to give too....😢 there are plus sides. This might finally make you a man. But theres a reason stick your nose to the grindstone is a saying....

50 cent got shot 9 times and lived but inflation got him looking like nickle man stay strong you look like you got this thing called life handled.

1 year ago if I watched this I would think you’re crazy and out of your mind. But after just leaving my job making 150k a year with no college (sales job). I completely get it… if you can live off less than your high salary, and you have something you enjoy doing more, that’s true wealth. Not the dollar amount you’re paid, I make 1/3 now from what I used to. But I also have enough saved where I could take years off too, so in the end I feel like I’m winning now. And getting 13k monthly checks made me feel no different when I was getting them, which is what started me to question why I’ve been chasing money and ignoring what I really want to do. Good luck with your path!

Nicely done, Jared.

Jared, I know you go into it in this video but I would love a video where you did the pros and cons of leaving your job. Especially as you were making over 200k+ and how difficult it was to walk away. You mulled it over for a year before you made the decision. What were you thinking about? What were the issues that gave you anxiety and a pause? I think this video, you packed so much information and I was hoping you would go a bit into depth about the reasons you quit, what was hard to walk away from, etc.

This is a genuinely good video and a lot of insights here. I am going through a very similar challenge and very close to giving in my notice. Not sure yet what I want to pivot into. I really appreciate this video and it's nice to know I am not alone.

keep pushing

Thank you so much for watching! 🌟 Have you ever felt stuck in a 'fine' job? What did you do about it? I'd love to hear your stories and experiences! Let's start a conversation: -What’s the biggest career risk you've ever taken, and how did it turn out? -Are you considering going back to school or making a significant career pivot? Share your thoughts and let's build a community of encouragement to move beyond being fine. 🙌

electric vehicles vs internal combustion engine is as stupid as political right vs left. it is all a distraction that all personal vehicles are the problem. it is clear that everyone can not have 2 tons of vehicle, it is unsustainable.

Answer NO EVs are not heavier than many fossil fuel cars - see Range Rover. Is that all you got? Oil lobby money won’t pay you for this tosh

EVs wear tires and brakes much faster. They weigh more and accelerate faster. The particulate emissions has a larger effect on people, i.e. at ground level. The tailpipe emissions are more of a high altitude environment issue.

it will help ensure it causes oil and gas prices to go up during Trump's next term, and it will also cause inflation to go higher and the stock market to go lower. He is trying to make everything look impeccable on his watch and screw the next guy.

You have to consider who is benefiting from this misinformation, oh look it's the fossil fuel industry, EVs are bad, buy petrol instead!

The problem is that the very best battery today has only 250 Watt-hours per Kg, while diesel or gasoline have 30 times more, or 10000 Watt-hours per Kg,so Evs are heavy and so, unpleasant to drive,like driving a loaded truck; and A/C and Heat, this one being free on iCEs, will help drain the battery fast, and it is known that in the cold parts of China people drive with heavy coats on and blankets to conserve the EV battery; all that combined with the range anxiety and frequent , long time, charging, and the price of a new battery , leads me to not even think of EVs; i only buy used, way cheaper, cars anyway; they are also tested, so that there are no surprises with chronic problems of LOTS of new cars that were RUSHED through production and then backfired on the new buyers, too many horror stories around; i also avoid parking next to EVs, the lithium batteries are funny, they catch fire, due to the DENDRITES inside them from FAST chargings, leading to HEAT; and speaking of heat, lithium batteries do not work in the cold at all, you still need to own ICE cars there. edit: the cost of the electricity is going up and in some places it is already more expensive then diesel or gasoline per mile, or Km, and that combined with the EV price and new taxes also needs to be well considered.

You are on just one facet of the comparison. There is a lot of bogus information floating around. for instance a future 15 minute full charge, a 60 amp hour battery on a 30 amp charger will take 2 hours. Do you really want to stand in a puddle and plug in a 30 amp charge? The electric chair that executed Ted Bundy only used 14 amps!

I never heard of any of yous guys goving out about burning rubber when the car is combustion powered.

Data in isolation , totally ignore the waste oil, filters , alternator/cam drive belt particulates. increased brake dust.

Tire wear whether EV or ICE releases microplastics which is very harmful. Quality tires last 50K miles for ICE and 35K miles for EVs. Those anti-EV sentiments are paid scientists funded by Shell, BP, Exxon-Mobil, and Chevron by scientists into drawing conclusions on inconclusive experiments so they can say that EVs are bad. The best way to fix environmental issues is getting rid of car centric infrastructure and replacing them with human-centric infrastructure. Driving an EV is greener than an ICE and riding the city bus is greener than an EV.

You need to spend the rest of your life at minimum wage and learn why you are a monster for lying to these people. Simple as that dude. I hope Ai takes your job and there is no safety net for you. August 15th, 1971. Do a real video, show me the year over year over every common product in America, as well as housing, transportation, and then learn who Samuel Gompers is, about the pantheists of the 15th century and their place in the renaissance, what the concept of a natural god is, and then put it all together. Look at the 50/30/20 rule. Learn that was the promise for us to come to the city. Learn that natural law is a right to be equal to nature in laws. And then look at what you have done still demanding 8 hours per day 40 hours a week. But seriously, the 50/30/20 rule, apply that with the concept of providing for a family of 4 off of a full time job, and remember that was the American dream. This aint it dude. You are blaming people who know that you are full of bs. I know what money is, I read the numbers through and saw the promise and I saw that get stolen and the people raped and robbed. Keep playing thief dude, keep pretending in your lala land. But every day more and more people are hitting an obvious wall in their life that has made so many of them ready to see people like you walk the walk with the rest of us until you get the damn message.

I cancelled my subscription to the WSJ 5ish years ago. They got SO anti-science, I did it out of principle. If they want to be anti-science re their slant on the EDITORIAL page, OK. Even if the slant on the headlines and how they approach actual NEWS articles is right leaning, OK, IF they don't distort the facts and print unbalanced anti-science nonsense IN PLACE of the facts, re the core issue, mainstream evidence, etc. (I'm a moderate politically, BTW). After all, having a right wing slant vs. the obvious left wing slant of the NYT, that's balanced. But when they go absolutely UNHINGED re anti-science in what's supposed to be FACTUAL news -- and they do it a LOT -- I'm done. And at least re actual news articles, NYT does a very decent job of reporting things factually, if they stay out of political opinions. Watching this, and considering what over 1800 times worth IMPLIES (considering that aside from tires, BEV's are CLEARLY much better than ICE's per total particulate emissions), it looks like the WSJ is still hard at the NONSENSE. Well, the WSJ can stay with Fox News as a far right news outlook that won't get any revenue from ME consuming their news stories. But, of course, re all the deniers who want to maximize profits from energy consumption no matter what, etc. they'll just love what the WSJ is doing, just like anti-vaxxers love pure nonsense on medical issues IF they get to hear what they want, or point to it to try to slant things their way. And so it goes in a world where profit seems to trump principle more and more. (I'm a capitalist overall, but believe there should be a certain level of integrity and decency overall, re the rules).

The Wall Street Journal and NY Post don't "lean" right. They are Rupert Murdoch owned, right wing propaganda machines.

Are these tire particulates CO2? Coz it’s the tail pipe greenhouse emissions I would be worried about.

I'd rather inhale some co2 than some tyre or brake particles. But hey we are trying to pretend EVs are not ridiculous and that toxic chemicals don't matter.

Very analytical with no misleading factoids. If you just tell the truth in a calm manner you probably won't get as high a subscriber range as other, but I hope I am wrong.

In a word - no. Just more fud.

I don't think EVs should be pushed by governments and I don't think EVs should be attacked with such stupid articles. We are getting to price parity of EVs and ICE vehicles, no return. The shame is that China will steal the EV market. China invested a lot in batteries and has the best technologies.

No mention is made anywhere here of particle size. With all the filtering now fitted to exhausts, tailpipe emissions now consist predominantly of PM2.5 particles, which are far worse for health and the environment than the larger particles that tires shed. This error is reinforced by measuring particle emissions solely by mass.

Planning to make more videos? I hope so, i subbed, good video!

lol, journalist are a joke nowadays

The tire wear argument is mute, if you drive your car lioe a maniac, than it doesn't matter what power source you have. Evs use brakes far less than ICE.

Another problem I have with these numbers is that they assume that all of the tyre weight lost is released as particulate matter in the air, which is not the reality. From what I can find estimations range from 0,1% to 10% of tyre particles being released into the air, which means these numbers are another 10 to 1000 times off.

BYD is popular here in Australia. However has a bad reputation for build quality and reliability. These two factors weigh heavily on Australian buyers and it is hard to stand out from the fame of toyota especially, which we hold so dear here in Aus. Yeah sure there's always cheap cars being sold but they dont last long here and the smart people avoid chinese crap and evs in general, unless you're from the city and dont have to travel far

If tyres were actually rubber we wouldn't even have this conversation. Capitalism is evil for this, because you know what? Most natural rubber isn't even harvested, in favour of oil based (synthetic) rubber.

Just remember, the best thing for the environment is to use/reuse what we have already created. I bet any money its still better for the environment as a whole to drive a 10 year old car for the next 5 years than buy a brand new EV and drive it. Forget what that 10 year old car has done pollution wise in its first 10 years. Thats already done and we cant really do anything about that. I refuse to buy a brand new vehicle simply because its not economically viable to keep it until its no longer drivable. You are expected to sell it after X amount of years/miles and swap it for another brand new vehicle.

Clicked just to say that the AI thumb nail sucks so do evs maybe not worse for the environment or whatever by if car no go vroom me no want car.

You're doing the same dumb sht these articles are. Omitting information, and doing comparisons that are disingenuous at best.

Thank you! I saw that article when it came out and knew it had to be BS, but didn't have to time to track it down. Journalism as a profession has really gone down hill. I get better info from CZcams and SubStack.
