- Unfortunately the industry field that I work under is experiencing a tremendous amount of lay offs recently and I am no exception.
It was an honor to work in a great tech company where I learned and grew as an individual but more importantly I was a part of an amazing team of individuals and had an even more supportive boss.

Join the club. After 10 years, I got the ax too. Corporations don't care about you. I started UA-cam afterwards and doing well.
Same here
I believe you work for the UA-cam corporation now. They control the terms of the agreement. They control how much money you make.
What is well like 6 figures a year mark?
How did it feel to work somewhere and get the axe after 10 years 😩
its american capitalism..... its never been not like this.... you get this idea in your head that once you got a job your never gonna have to find another job.... your an employee not a dependant..... jobs end... you tube will end at some point too..... probly right about the time russia starts shooting missiles at the united states.... how far away is that?
Wishing you the best going full time reselling. I’ve seen your work ethic, dedication to the business and organization so I know you’ll be successful
Soup kitchen opens 4 am
GOODLUCK to all Tech and Tesla peoples that got layoff.. I can relate to your feeling sure HELL they just don't care about you.
You guys have done great things for the community, so I feel it's only fair for the community to do its part to help you out as well!!
Expect plenty of more business coming your way!! 💯
You will be better for the experience. You will grow immensely, it may hurt but a good reality check.
This is a very strong sign of a strong man and a leader
When good comes you thank God and have gratitude
When bad comes you thank God and have gratitude
Wish nothing but the best my brother
Things called gods ?
Sorry to hear, wishing you the best!
Glad to see the youtube channel growing :)
You guys deserve it
You’re a huge inspiration man, looking forward to your future success! Hard work and true dedication will push you far!!!
Sending love and prayers y’all’s way as you transition into this new chapter of your lives!!
Wishing you blessings!
I’m from the Bay Area as well. I totally understand how it is to live in this expensive city. I totally understand where you coming from brother and I support you in every way.
Sorry to hear. You and your wife are very level headed. You completely understand personal finance and probably the path to financial independence. You're doing what you love and you're getting paid for it. That's a win-win. Good luck! I'm rooting for you and your wife. Team work makes the dream work.
I am so sorry to hear that, man. Times are so tough right now and it's not fair. Sending you lots of love and wishing you and your wife the very best.
Sorry about the recent news. Times are tough right now. You guys will figure it out.
Your channel was an inspiration for me to start vending and recording content of my own. I truly appreciate what you've done for the community. Keep it up. Good things are coming your way in the future I'm sure of it.
Watching your videos has personally inspired me to get out of comfort zone and take steps in my own entrepreneur journey. Your videos are always a blast to watch as it has personal touches and not just business talks.
I wish you both the best of fortune with your new chapter in life! 👍
My prayers go out to you. If I remember correctly, the tech industry went through massive layoffs a few years ago. I know it did in 2001. I am so glad that you are financially secure. Althugh I'm retired, I went through many lay offs when I was working. Hang in there.
One door closes and a new one opens, being laid off is always bitter sweet. Hope the best for you as dive into this full time!
when I joined Shell back in the yr 2000, my supervisor would regularly remind us "no one here is indispensable". That hit me as a 26 yr old and prompted me to have strong financial support in case I got laid off.
Best of luck to you both and sorry to hear the unfortunate news. Things will get tougher before it gets better
he was in the big layoffs years ago - you should thank him. I helped a young kid and told him layoffs can happen. He started saving money and he was in a covid furlough. When he came back, he told me if I didn't warn him he would not have made it. Now he is obsessed saving money.
man sorry to hear you got laid off
but glad to see you are giving reselling a try as full time
keep your heads up and keep pumping them videos out!!
best of luck in the future
Sorry to hear the loss of your job, I wish you the best in your business journey! Really love your content!
😂😂😂😂
You guys are doing great and putting in the work and it shows, see you guys at the next show.
Wishing you the best!!!
Make sure you get what you are owed severance wise, and collect that Ei , keep pushing. I fell off a roof in November and they "temporarily" laid me off so they wouldn't have to pay severance but it's been past the period of a legal temp layoff off now I gotta call em up and get my severance.
sorry to hear but you’re so right about the silver lining… it’s now an opportunity to go all-in and see how far u can go! best of luck!! 🤞
Lots of love to you and your wife, the impact you guys have on our community is so positive! Hoping the best for you guys’ future, you deserve it all!
Wishing you the best on your next journey Hopefully all goes well Keep up the Great Content 👍 👌 😊 love u guys
Good luck in all your business endeavors 😊 Blessings ❤
Sorry to hear - I wish you the best to the both of you. Always look forward to each of your videos!
Watching from the UK and love the videos I’ve binged so many the last few days, keep up the good work and best of luck for the future!
People who are hard working will always find a way you will be alright 🙏
Sorry to hear the news but super excited to see you row in your other adventures. I lost my job back in January. I just recently started working again but its only part time. Which is scary in itself but allows me as well to work on my projects (Comic Books) as well. But good luck with everything and can't wait to see what the future brings you guys.
I just started watching and catching up on your vids. Love the great content. Will definitely be looking for your eBay store to make some purchases. Please continue the great work!
Good luck and best wishes!
I know how you feel ✊🏻things will get better!
All the best for your future, I really enjoy watching all your vids.
It’s great you can follow your passion.
I lost my job about 6 months ago & I’m managing to get by with a hobby job. I hope o can find my future path soon.
There are so many ways to earn a living!
Positivity is key when thing like this happens but it'll all work out and we will be here to support yall guys, thank yall for what yall do and hope someday yall make it to San Antonio and I'll love to visit yalls booth someday.
You got this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve been doing pokemon full time for 2 years going on 3. You can definitely do it
My husband was laid off from Raytheon at 55. It doesn’t make any difference how long you have been there and worked hard,you are indispensable. They hired contractors so they wouldn’t have to pay any benefits, medical, vacation, etc. 😊. Companies don’t care about anything but the bottom line and upper management bonuses .😊😊😊😊
Sorry to hear that it wasn't on your terms, but it also opens a lot of opportunities. I know that with your work ethic and hustle that you'll do great. Looking forward to see you grow and where this new chapter will take you!
Hope to see you in July at Collectacon Fort Worth. Good luck on this journey, and I deeply respect your transparency.
Your a humble and good man. Good luck going full time in pokemon.
I am a tech consultant also, been feeling the pressure. Wishing you the best of luck. I hope to see you at a con near me soon.
This is why I subscribed to your channel. It was the realism, the purity and the joy of watching Pokemon deals go down but not only that. The love for Pokemon stood out to me and made me realize that your family and yourself are the real ones.
Sadly to say, I wasn't able to go to the card show in Garden Grove/Santa Ana? Only because I was severely sick and my little one wasn't feeling well also. But hey, If you are ever in town. I will definitely make the time and day for you 💯%
Anyways, enjoy your trip at Japan. We could make deals later on, haha 👍
Sorry you got laid off. But when one door closes another opens. And I know you guys will make it to the top 🙏🏻 love the content keep up the hard work.
Very sorry to hear that. Hope you bounce back!! Wishing the best
Sorry to hear about your W2. Good people don't stay down long so I am not worried about you guys. You will look back in a couple years and wonder why you didn't take the plunge earlier. Best wishes...
Your personality and kindness will take you far, don't worry
So tough to hear. I’ve been many peers be affected by the same situation. Wishing you all the best.
Hi guys! It's Johnny Seawalker! Your artist fan. We last met at the SF Cardshow. I just reset my pw for my Johnny Seawalker YT which I couldn't open with my devices other than my broken laptop, and double subbed with it. My bad for not adding that gmail to my phone, should have done it before. Ugh!
We should collab when I'm free! I'll think of something to help out a bit. Maybe I could do some art you could give away or something fun on a fairly big canvas (you will need space in your backseat for it though). I love what you guys do and this is the best way I could return a bit from the cool stuff you do for the community. Free of charge!
Just subbed. Wish you and your family the best! Keep the grind up 🔥💪😎
Brother you are not alone experiencing layoff this is all Over the world! What I would like to advice you ,if you don't get a job by your skill or profession you have to go for lower job & wage to serviv , the good thing ,two is better than one ,stay strong .
Just wanted to say man sorry for to hear about the job loss, its never fun especially when bills need to be paid. I did want to say thank you for these videos you inspired me to start my own channel and become a vendor and like you said, at my boring 9-5 im always looking forward to the weekend just to vendor pokemon cards lol.
Antoine Daniels told us to come check you out.
We appreciate you checking our channel out, truly means a lot!
Layoffs have always occurred; I've witnessed them a few times in the tech and manufacturing industries. The significant shift now is that people have easy access to UA-cam, making it seem like a novel occurrence. When I hear HR or experienced recruiters claim they've never seen it so bad after only 5-6 years on the job, I chuckle, knowing they were likely in grade school during the last cycle in the 2000s. As these events unfold, I observe these same individuals only recognizing the wall when they hit it. Even mainstream news has begun creating content on UA-cam that mirrors cycles I've seen since before the 2000s. For newer working adults experiencing this for the first time, welcome to the ever-changing world of work-this will happen again.
I really like how you speak so proudly of your wife, and how the both of you work as a team! I really love that. Sad to hear your experiences of getting laid off, but I am happy that you and your wife have a backup plan in place, and are exploring other avenues... I want to have a boyfriend like that one day. Guess the reality today is, companies will always choose themselves over the people that work for it.
Life is too short. Be happy. Job comes and goes. No such thing called Permanent Job in America. Be grateful you are healthy everyday ❤
Hope your new journey turns out well.
Sorry to hear about the job woes. Like you said though, silver linning is you get to spend more time on your passion and hopefully can develop that into a full time thing.
Great video. Best of luck on your future endeavors.
Glad you are giving the full time pokemon a shot homie. I just made the transition about a month ago and will most likely never look back. Good luck and way to turn something negative into a posotive!
Good luck pimp!
Sorry to hear, best of luck!!
Love your content! So I wish you the best as a Pokemon full time reseller!❤
Good luck with your job hunt 👍
Wishing you the best. I hope you get your career kicked off as an entrepreneur and content creator! It's great to see someone who represents the Bay Area!
As someone in tech in the bayarea, with a fam, and doing pokemon cards as a side gig -- I can respect the hustle and am saddened by the news but happy for the future. Hoping for all the best for you. As usual, your video popped up while I am doing my tcg orders. My son is organizing our bulk (still) and constantly asks me when we will go trade it in. My wife pushed me out of my shell too when I got laid off and went back to school full time. It's a scary step but sometimes it's a helpful push! If you have any questions about Japan LMK -- my wife is Japanese and we go back 1-2x per year. Looking to see you IRL at a show when our schedules align !
I loved San Francisco, there definitely lots of ways to make money in San Francisco!
I made it through most recessions for many years and I was in a layoff while going through a divorce. I was months away from living in my car and it was scary. I got back on my feet and started saving and now I can retire. I tell people your goal should be to save money until you can retire early. When I realized I can retire my whole attitude changed. I'm in a good company but the work is so boring so I'm miserable now. This year will be a big change for me. I get 5 weeks vacation and that's going to be hard to give up.
My 2 cents: Don't work more than you have to for your company, it doesn't pay. Work on a side gig. Every now knows when layoffs start it's brutal. Companies simply can't promise anything given the way the money flow works.
Anton Daniels dropped this video today & we on the channel have mad respect how you & your wife managed your finances! Going to peek at a few of your videos today👍
We truly appreciate you checking out our channel, really means a lot!
Can you please link us to the video you are referencing so we can check it out?
It’s at the 1:33:00 mark
sorry to hear this. hoping you bounce back stronger.....
Good luck with the business you got this
I don't know about you man, but I loath working in IT. The only reason I'm in it is for the money. It's the kind of work that I get zero personal satisfaction from...but the money is great. Much like yourself, I'm very frugal and love to save and invest. Working in tech is a means to the end.
I'm glad you won't be struggling and I wish you nothing but more success in this new full time venture.
I've worked IT in the past, and I completely agree with you that it's definitely not thrilling, but pay was great.
Lfg bro 🚀🚀🚀
Liked and subbed.
Kudos on your attitude
Ebay name so I can buy somethng?
Appreciate you watching and supporting the channel! A link to our ebay store if provided in the video description for your reference. 🙏
Full-time content creation and reselling is tough, but if there is anyone that can pull it off it's you. Believe in yourself and grind. And hey, even if you decide to go back to the corporate world later on, you're going to have a side hustle that will have inevitably grown in the meantime.
Side question, because I've always been curious, what was the inspiration for the channel name?
Intropy is a made up word (stemming from "entropy") - [degree of disorder within oneself] followed by my initials.
Keep ya head up 🙏🏾
Best of luck!
Sorry to hear that. But you are clearly brilliant. You will thrive from this.
Did you offer to stay at 80% value? 😅
Ha ha, I wish layoffs worked like that 😅
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
People getting laid off everywhere, fast food workers getting sacked because management cannot afford the new minimum wage.
Keep your head up u will find something
section 174 affected R&D, nobody talks about it.
Wish you and your family luck. The American dream bro, get that entrepreneur life goin and I’m sure a contracting job may come back. Also how do you still live in SF? Come down south bro.

Would love to hear about your tech career if you’re able to share it. I’m heading towards that direction and am concerned about the future of tech, specifically in software engineering.
I'm more than happy to chat about what I can provide. Feel free to send me an IG DM, more than happy to talk!

what is your background?
You think you're going to sustain here in the Bay Area ON POKEMON? 💀
Corp. jobs are no longer a secured job. You can get laid off anytime.
Every one should move
