    Hope you like learning a bit of my backstory, and all the cute kid photos. Had to go to mom’s to scan them all in, yay mom! Now you know what you have to do...GET OUT THERE!

      People who have developed self worth through accomplishments that they deem worthy of self worth are more empathetic towards others (like it appears you are). People who have little self worth (have accomplished very little) will try to obtain self worth ( it's an illusion of worth - it's only self flattery) at the expense of others. You are a beautiful person. The earth could use more people like you. Thank you for being you. "Your good enough. Your smart enough and gosh darn it - people like you" - Stuart Smalley SNL (czcams.com/video/xNx_gU57gQ4/video.html)

      I came across your video because I was searching for videos on PRK and ended up watching more of your other videos. Thank you for making videos that can impact people's lives in a positive way with your honesty, kindness and positivity. Have an amazing day! Aloha from Maui:)

      And to prove his success, he made it look so easy. It's that way for all great journalists, no matter the material. Ever noticed how a 60 Minutes story flows as if every twist and turn of the story just "landed" there? Well, it's not happening that way except for a dedicated team of people giving it their all.

    @zaheedhasib Před 5 lety +26

    Man, I love you, especially because you are kind and honest, and also because you are proud of your background (and also a bit because of being a vegetarian and you don't drink). I respect you for what you have done with the cards you were dealt, you inspire me.
    I am not white, but I did have a privileged childhood, privileged in a sense that I had all the love from both my parents, and the best education that they could afford and that I count as my biggest privilege. Money, well that is a different topic.

  • @marysalmon8431
    @marysalmon8431 Před 5 lety +41

    lol people just love to make assumptions without any objective data. the same people that do that would scream bloody murder if you looked at them and did the same. MY assumption was that you spend many long hours thinking up ideas, executing them and the effort expended is enormous. Obviously this person spent no time really looking at your vids. Personal responsiblity for every aspect of our lives is the key to freedom. Take responsiblity and noone else controls you. For better or worse. Ryan, no explanation needed.

  • @robvan6527
    @robvan6527 Před 3 lety +4

    I like the fact that you put it all "out there". Not only do you let us know who you are inside and out, but you inform us all in how your process works. I mean you're just a regular dude that likes the outdoors, likes adventures, and likes people. You basically give us the blueprint to do your life. But what sets you apart - is you. There's only 1 Ryan Van Duzer.

    • @duzer
      @duzer  Před 3 lety

      Yeah, I wanted to lay it all out and tell my story. Thanks for watching

  • @edperez4433
    @edperez4433 Před 5 lety +10

    Being a son to an immigrant to this country one thing I was taught is that you need to work hard and go take what you want from life. Your being white has nothing to do with it and you don't need to explain. Best to you Ryan and your Mom is the best! After my parents who are my heroes in this life! Just keep taking what you can from life. It's so short.😀

    • @duzer

    Ryan, I really enjoy watching you on your adventures, especially on the Cycle Across America videos. I would get home from a rough day at work and hope that a new video would be posted. Watching them made me feel like I was on the adventure with you. Keep up the great work!

    Ryan, the you are so right. The definition of being successful cannot be defined simply by the size of a bank account rather having the freedom to live life on your own terms. That's something very rare for anyone to achieve and why we watch your channel. We don't need stuff we just need to get outside the comfort zone!

And the reason is because you are authentic. This is really your passion and it can be seen in the final results. The Great Divide playlist I watched the whole serie in a weekend! It's beautiful! I can't wait to watch more! Keep the amazing job and one day I gonna meet you in person and shake your hand! I have 2 daughters living in Denver area and I will move there too probably next year!

    I am just so impressed with your little space on the internet. I stumbled on your channel and it is one of my favorites. There is a fine line between content, personality, delivery and length of videos and you hit all of the numbers. You have inspired me to do a blog of my upcoming Race ( Cheaha Challenge UCI world championship qualifier gran fondo). I know it will not be the greatest but I am going to do it anyway and use a lot of your recommendations.
