"I felt like a loser"
U are. All u did was record cars.
Good idea you had! I’ve been jobless for just u see 10 years from a wreck and cont do disability because I took too long to register. I always thought I would get back to work so I wasn’t going to get on disability. Now it’s even harder to work and I’m fuqed for something to do. This is a great story of having a good idea and following through with it.

Not cool, he put so much effort on his dream of living a super car, and he finally did it, he evens bought a house just for the parking space .

He talks this calm when you talk to him in person, he only talks loud for the camera he’s actually a pretty shy dude but super chill
I’m not a fan of overly high energy for the camera, chill is superior than fake for views ya know
I’m glad. That’s the only thing i don’t like about his videos. This energy seems manufactured cause it’s so high all the time. I like the chill version of him. Regardless, his videos are cool. Love the success.
@@MPHshoots i mean there is a reason why he's so loud. Without his loudness his views would drop and he'd probably end up homeless again

This is the most calm I’ve ever heard him speak
This is his real life persona
When I listened to this whole interview and hearing this side of him, it gave me a new insight to the person he is, I truly wish him even more success then he already has.
It shows that he works hard on his attitude and keeping that positive energy up! It isn’t easy but he does it for his fans
I want to see more of this side of him

@@liamnock4579 bro what 💀 you can't just make videos get views. Not how it works
I met him at a gas station, had seen one of his early videos. So I walked up as he was finishing gassing up his first Lamborghini....it was still orange at the time. We talked for a minute, then I asked if I could take a selfie, he smiled and said of course. Problem was, I had no idea how to take a selfie, I had never taken one. After trying for a minute he asked " would you like me to show you how to take that?".....and THATS how I learned how to take a selfie! He's a super nice dude. BTW, this was in Park City, UT.
This is one of the most wholesome comments I’ve ever read! I really hope this is real
@@Javi.Montalvo It's absolutely real, I'll never forget it because I had no idea what I was doing and he made me feel like it was ok...took phone and actually took the pic of us. Then showed me how to take the next one. I'm older and had never taken a selfie. He's a super nice guy in real just like he is in his videos.

He was so embarrassed he couldn't even sell the TT to buy a car with more space to be comfortable. What an inspiration.
You’re the person nobody wants around or tell anything to.

I mean yeah you’re kinda right. Kinda weird ego thing to be like “nah I’d rather live in a luxury car than a van I can put a mattress in”

Nah bro it wasn’t luck; you worked so hard for it! Well deserved
‼️ cars like that aren’t just handed to people that’s facts
Wow… outstanding applause for this man… you sir arent even close to a loser. You had that fire in you bro the entire time.. I can feel your pain and your emotions through your words… it was hard for you to even speak. Im at that very same moment in my life and nothing is going good for me in this town. I try to escape and trick myself and my mental state to think that its ok to be like this.. but its not. Ive built two multi million dollar businesses and I am one of the hardest workers I know. The other day the owner walked up to me and disrespected me in such a manner that I lost faith in what I am doing and I began to question our leadership. Thats not enough, what we do is never enough.. Ive been treated horribly my whole life and there were jobs that were decent but im here now. I am moving and starting my life somewhere else, fresh. Hopefully I catch a break..
You can hear in his voice how hard it is for him to realize his luck and how grateful he is for this.
All the best to him, lets hope he will do well forever :)

I remember that Veyron video too😳. I recall it sounding like a jet as it passed the camera on film. I watched it pass like 30 times. Something about it being Benjamin Chens car I believe. Wasn't that the Pur Blanc edition or something like a 1 off model. Congrats James on all you have accomplished. Baller move to go from sleeping in a 2 seater to owning one of the Bugattis that put you on the map😀.

You still alive??
Of course!! Gonna take a lot more than a storm to take my, soul, out of here. I appreciate ur looking out though. Means alot
People are missing the point. He’s not trying to give a sad back story, he’s trying to talk about how crazy of a jump his life took and basically how you should bet on yourself and believe in yourself, and be willing to make sacrifices for whatever your goal is. He didn’t just decide to be homeless for shits and giggles, it was so he could afford to do what he did
"Bet on yourself & believe"
So why don't you have that same attitude in school?
The story went over everyone’s head sadly
Its all just a scam anyway. Stay in school kids.
The background music sound like it's sad tho
Idk. He definitely said he got a big break. It’s more like luck if you ask me? How many people post vids every day and don’t get views?
You can hear him tearing up when he gets Graham's affirmation, knowing the gravity of it is understood without explicitly saying why it is so important to his arc.
So inspirational. God bless you stade
Just a tip, if you are living in your car, try to find hotel parking lots as they often have security walking around at night. You might not be able to stay multiple nights (find a different hotel each night) but it will be safer than some random street!! Stay safe out there yall and keep dreaming big
If you feel like telling your friends that you live in a car makes you feel like a loser, then they’re probably not the right type of friend.

@@johanebrown1764 I don’t think that actually counts as a friend lol.
I bet his friends wouldn't have cared or judge him the way he thought they would. Pride can be very strong.
@@sstrick47 yeah
Its a Pride thing. The problem is not about his friends
everytime i hear these stories it confirms that you just have to work hard and just hope you get lucky. cause if he didnt go to the one event his work would have meant notning and he would still be in that TT
That's the part all these back stories leave out, THE MAIN PLOT. Somewhere along the way they either had a helping hand or got well connected. How many people post amazing content everyday and get no views or attention? As much as they want to rant it, LUCK has plenty to do with success.
You never gave up and that's the most beautiful thing no one can ever take from you.
Never give up hope and continue to fight for your dream regardless whose there with you or without you. It's up to YOU

How he sounds like he gon cry before the video ended was deep
He says he “decided” to live in his TT. I get the feeling he wasn’t as homeless as we are lead to believe. I mean, a 12 yr old TT is still worth like $20k.
I was a huge fan if his channel a while ago, and here is the story: his parents gave him the option to live with him but he instead chose to live in that car and move away so he can shoot his videos, and it ended up paying off.
Yes .. but rather than part with it for something more comfortable like a van, he choose to lived out of it to achieve something and that car was a major step in getting there .. and I don't think you could find a more elegant but horribly uncomfortable vehicle to call home .. bravo !!
Yeah he could be living with his Parents not affording to move out . Paying car bills is a thing too if you lost ur job . He was lucky . Guys don’t do this

@@IH8Too it’s. Beautiful story
It seems like the story is missing context. But if he had a meeting with the right people one weekend that opened the door that lead to his success, then his story makes sense.
I feel what he felt real motivation much needed
He was so positive in his videos I didn’t even think he would be living in his car.
I read something in my Stoic Philosophie book some days ago, it's in German but i try to translate it as good as i can. It was something like "your biggest win can bring you the biggest distress and the biggest distress can lead you to the biggest win"
True
That’s a great saying
"There are decades where nothing happens then there is week where everything changes"
fr I just so happened to meet a big name in my dream industry last year. Opened so many doors for me out of nowhere. Felt like I was stalled out for my 20s, just absorbing knowledge obsessively, working on personal projects. Then one day all that work got noticed by the right person.
No matter how many times I hear the story I love it every time
The patience and dedication ❤
He deserves every moment of his success. Kudos, James!
It takes 10 years to become an overnight success
I forgot where I heard that from
Word he says that weekend he filmed a video and it got veiled … wtf else he do to wake up the next morning and be such a success
Biz Stone the cofounder of twitter said that, but similar things have been said by Jeff Bezos and Tom Clancy.

He took a massive risk, bet on himself and it payed off, respect
He just got lucky like a lottery winner . Their are so many creators who are working as hard or even more than him but they are not getting success.
Same as mine lol maybe am a Terrible , PTSD shuts my motivation off so I do one quick video and do t learn anything then I quit and go watch a film 😬
I mean there is some luck with the algorithm, but the rest is not luck. In entertainment and that’s what CZcams is, hard work alone doesn’t guarantee anything. You have to make good content do you have to make people like you and usually that takes being relatable or having lots of charisma or both. I’ve seen plenty of CZcams videos that are very high-quality produced really well yet the content was lackluster and they just didn’t have anything about them that stood out or grab me. The ones on CZcams that are making insane amounts of money and have success usually all those things coming together.
@@Who_care_what-i-think 90% luck go luck at how bad all the top creators are in every field
How did he got lucky explain? He quit his job lived in his car had no money in bank account , grinded day and night just to shoot his videos and lived off peanut butter sandwich. Just how. though I agree luck is a part of it but u can't just deny his hardwork and how he grinded day and night in the name of "a lucky lottery winner"
