Casey's so fucking right: I worked in a coffee chain, and a supermarket. Even though my superiors and coworkers were excellent, it was fucking miserable. Until my last breath, I will deeply respect and appreciate every person who grinds it out in the service industry.
+Aozotra 6 years of retail experience - the managers were shit...most of the time -_- and my coworkers were competitive as shit for commission - miserable indeed and then customers....(i will not start because i will still be here maybe 2 years later writing about customers)
To kids struggling in school: "“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” Work hard in school, but realize it's not a one-size fits all model. You fish will find your pond! Or lake. Or ocean.
Will Raleigh This too, shall pass. shall = will. It's an expression that means that the bad situation you're going through is temporary. Out of curiosity, are you learning English? Just so I know, and I can explain this better. :)
I totally agree with the shitty first job thing. I doubt most people that are in that position understand what they are actually gaining from it, but that experience is absolutely invaluable to you as a person.
My first job as a 16 year old, "i felt like a poor little chinese boy working in a sweatshop" for 4weeks, 9 hours a day, felt like 72 hours a day.#nopainnogain
Casey - you're so right. Prior to going to college, I worked at Target for a year. I developed a sense of self and respect for others. I'd like to believe working in an environment life that humbled me. Though it was difficult at the time, I'm grateful for that year I worked at Target. He may not thank you now, but one day Owen will thank you for that, Casey.
Ricky Stafford actually, the only reason I'm not working at Target anymore is because I live in Canada and they are no longer open here, so I lost my job. And it was hardly slave work.
I'm 14 and I've never worked at a real job But my dad taught me respect and I learned by analyzing him, my family, and people around me I respect people that have shitty jobs like a cashier Because my mom and dad work in the service sector and knowing that if I treat people terrible One day I may be that person and they may be on the other side of that stick
I've never simply been handed something I've always been beat around the bush Currently I have to save money to buy myself a car And even then I won't have enough but I'll ask my parents if I could borrow money and slowly pay it off Most kids are handed a car with no responsibility I have to earn it
Casey you are SUCH a good father!!! My first job was at a vegetable stand when my mom decided since I was old enough to work on a farm (14 where I live), I was old enough to buy my own clothes and get a paycheck. I will NEVER forget working at that farm stand... and the experiences at that job led me to jobs in retail during college that I embraced wholeheartedly because I understood it could be a lot worse. Customers won't always be nice, but if you know this, you can handle it better!
***** I agree completely! I have crappy jobs right now, and I have to pay for my own living expenses and college tuition, because my mom wants to make sure that I really want to get a college education and that I will really get the most out of it in terms of education. The best way to do that is to make your kid pay for it. Obviously I can't pay it all myself so my mom matches up whatever is left over, but honestly, it is the best life lesson you can give your child. Maybe not as extreme as in my case, but it's very valuable nonetheless! Good for you Casey! And Owen :)
***** If you have a farm job pretty much any job has to be better. I think the problem with taking a bad job is you can also get used to getting paid not that much and settle because you enjoy your boss and customers.
No word of a lie, once Casey has a sit down talk with us, I open my notes on my iPhone and start writing down his advice (great to go over the next day and remind yourself of the principles he teaches!) I get the most genius and interactive content from Casey, and for that, I thank you sir!
"Find a job you love and you'll never have to work again in your life" Confucius. Speaking of which, he spoke about chapters in life. While I programmed (age 16 to 32) I was more than thrilled, and I was beyond wild before being wild became fashionable. Nowadays at 50, making ends meet became a little more difficult. Programming is just not cutting it and I'm a little bit lost. But sure enough, in time, Life will bring my next occupation.
As a european I'm always fascinated by americans and how firmly the believe that they can realise their dream if they just work long enough and hard enough. It might be true for some, but for the vast majority it isn't. This became pretty clear to me when I saw all the 40-somethings in Hollywood working shitty jobs and telling me about their dream to become an actor or writer or director. They clearly weren't gonna make it, but they held on to that dream because it was everything they got. I find it admirable when people pursue their dreams, but stay realistic people. Maybe dream a little smaller and its always smart to habe a plan B to fall back on when plan A isn't working out. Think about whether or not your dream is achievable just by hard work and persistance. I feel like this is a fundamental difference between americans and europeans. Americans go hard or go home(thats is if they still have a home by then), europeans like to play it safe, aren't even 25 and already got their retirement plan all figured out.
JamanWerSonst Great job generalising, buddy. European here, if true happiness is what you aspire, then chasing your real dreams is the only way to really achieve that. You might not always get to exactly where you wanted to go, but the chances of you finding happiness and fulfilment along the way are infinitely higher than when you play it safe. Live your life to the fullest, or you'll might just find yourself lamenting the safe life you've had on your deathbed.
I couldn't agree more with your talk about Owen's job. I got my son his first "real job" working with a friend in his landscaping company. He came home every day tired, dirty, and angry about everything he had to put up with, but he didn't quit. Now, years later, he often points to that job as having been the reason he is able to get up and get going when he doesn't want to, and the driving factor for his desire to succeed.
I really understand the part with the job for his son, my father made me work on a construction site after high school and it really teached me a lot, even in law school now.
It's crazy how someone I do not know and lives on the other side of the country from me has the ability to inspire more and more each and every day. I owe you everything for constantly giving me that little push I need to succeed in life and always raising up my self esteem. Thankyou Casey
Yep the vlogs reach me all the way in Canberra, I love seeing people from our land down under watching Casey too! :) Positive ending to my day. Goodnight :)
Yes! Casey you are absolutely right in regard to first jobs. I also worked in food serve/customer service, 17 years later I can still remember the smell of the grease that would never wash out of my work clothes. But I learned so much about responsibility, respect for others, and hard work. My kids will be doing the same thing when they are ready for their first job. Much respect to you Casey!!
Hell yeah man. I started working freelance VFX in 2008. It was scary to never know if I'll have a job every few months. But now I turn down work every week. It was hard work, but now it's just constant. I've done all this shitty jobs. I worked in retail, restaurants, movie theaters, telemarketing...you name it. I used to do short films with friends and I cut my teeth on some freebie indies. It was a long road, but I've gotten to a place where I can support my family doing what I love and I'm ever expanding. Next step is creating my own content.
I've watched a TON of your blogs. (they're all pretty damn cool) This is by far my favorite, for no reason other than it is the most real and resonates with me.
Totally agree with your thinking on Owen and his job. Nobody will ever understand or appreciate hard work if everything is handed to them easily. Great parenting Casey!
I know this was more than 3 years ago, but your words are timelessly true. The best life lesson we can learn as parents is to not enable our children and pave their way to success. We can guide them, support them, and help them to a certain extent. But anything that is given and not earned through the same blood, sweat, and tears that we learned from, will do nothing but handicap and cripple them when it comes to finding their dream(s) and pursuing them. Amen Casey. 100%. And the real funny thing is this lesson can and will keep repeating itself in life when a person becomes complacent, or comfortable with their status quo. Truth.
You are SO wise. I look up to you man. I've worked such terrible jobs and every time I've fantasized what I want to do next with my life. Now I'm working towards that goal each and every day!
"Ignore praise, and embrace criticism." Needed to hear this today. Just started binge watching your videos and almost every video is something helpful like this. Stay cool bru *thumbs up*
AMEN in regards to what you said about people working behind a counter - I am 22 and have done this for the past 6 years while going through College and now University! More people need to understand what it is like to work behind a counter - you can meet some of the nicest and genuine people, but also some of the nastiest! Everyone needs to learn the concept 'treat others as you wish to be treated'.
too many well off people dont instill the things in their children that you are in your son. i know you know this, but you are teaching him invaluable life lessons, and it's no wonder that he seems like such a good kid. and to have had him so young, and to have done such a great job, you and his mother deserve an awful lot of praise. the world needs more parents like you. if it did, we'd have self driving, flying cars already, and there'd be no such thing as starvation. haha. but i digress, great job. great vlog. today i was a little sad that there were no more new casey neistat vlogs, so i'm going back and watching some old ones. really enjoyed this one.
Could not agree with you more about the drive to discover and follow your passion that comes from working a job you hate! It's like it wants to burst from your chest, it just needs to come out and manifest itself.
Love these videos! Not only the fantastic stories and content from Casey but seeing him live life around New York City daily is truly amazing. What a wonderful city. Great video.
my dad left my family ages ago, but you. You i really find comfort in and you give me a sense or morality and guidance. Without the cringe factor exceeding too much, I really do sometimes find a father figure in you. So thankyou for making these videos
Good advice on the first job thing. You do hit an inflection point where you know you want more. If you don't leave then, it get's harder and harder to leave.
I love how Casey's workplace is full of all of his friends. And Casey gets more views per video than most youtubers with a million plus subs, you are the most high quality vlogger on youtube and i love your work. Keep doing what you love
iChase LOL. The white boards are blurred, and I think these would reveal more. ;) Everything else could be for display, and unrelated to the new business.
Maybe the glasses have a camera the watch has a camera and the gopro and together they produce a cool 3-angle shoot??maybe that's the video in the background?
As I graduated, I wanted to study something interesting... something that I would enjoy doing as my job for the rest of my life. I couldn't find any interesting studies, so I took a year break from everything and decided to find a job just to earn some cash. I got accepted into this 55 hour a week job in a household store where I worked as an advisor with paint, furniture, etc. The job was fun - interacting with different types of people, experimenting and creating this place my second home. Although, I couldn't work for more than 8 months - the owner and other staff members were so LAZY, IGNORANT. They didn't assist us in any way and just kept putting work on our shoulders while they kept doing random s#$t like going out to drink coffee, drive around etc. Kinda sucks, I really liked my coworkers. After couple months of quiting, I found a study plan and now I've just finished my second year. 2 years left, and both of them will be spent studying in S.Korea! Weeee~
Good questions...the slow roll-out approach is straining to keep my interest. It's not like he's introducing the Powerwall or something...Caseyhow about some straight talk about your business??
555 Gear It depends if there's some form of contractual agreement that prevents him from talking about the work he does. It's obviously something media / film related but what that may be currently may have to stay under wraps.
Wow, kind of didn't believe Dylan when he mentioned knowing you while he filmed a PSA for a non-profit I'm in. I stand corrected though. Also, love what you're doing! You inspire me greatly even when we have differing views on thigs.
I get exactly what you mean by the horrible job opens the eyes of someone who want to do something way better in life. Great "speech" Casey, truly inspiring :)
I watch your videos every day and from every single one I learn something. Today my lesson was to work harder to achieve my goals! Just really love how you run your life! Thanks Casey!!
From this point 4:43 and beyond, I totally agree with every word, and respect on that two parts, why you don't give him a better job. People need to learn to respect other people and vice versa !! Agree, you need to learn how to live to live it.
I thought Casey was going to say something along the lines of "because I don't want him to think that life is going to be easy having me as a father, he has to work for his own things"
Candice is soooo sassy! Got to love you both! Thanks for sharing your daily movies. I appreciate your passion, conviction, and extreme execution. Injoy!
Ever human should or i should say MUST work in retail once in your younger age. That job will teach you manners, how to behave in Public and rest the Person working on a cash counter. I work in retail and i bunch of fools not understanding the basics, if my Computer give up on me and they have to wait for their change for couple of minutes, it don't mean they need to start acting like a douchebag.
***** waitress makes 2.13 an hour and absolutely depend on your genorosity to make a living.. Retail makes minimum wage or more. However I understand your concept. Serving food in the food industry absolutely blows.
I totally agree with the first job comments that Casey had. I just quit a retail job I was in for 4 and a half years (my first job) and shall be beginning as a trainee pharmacist assuming I pass my final exams. What I learnt from working in retail taught me a hell of a lot more than I expected and really made me see things in a different light. This is one of the many reasons I always look forward to these daily vlogs, they're priceless! :)
6:06 Best advice ever. When I started university 4 years ago I saw this video and this quote specifically shook me. I took the advice and knowingly I got a shitty job as a guy who tosses 10 Kilogram bottles of water at a supermarket all day. In that 1 year I worked at this shitty place I found my passion , i started busting my ass doing all the necesery things to achieve it , going to cources , practicing , putting in the long hours , the early mornings and the late nights and now I am on the verge of graduating university and a company hired me to work for them , its my dream job , and I actually did things to impress them to hire me. So yes , get a shit job. Worst that can happen is you can quit and find a new job. Best that can happen is you will turn your life around. Thank you Casey for the advice.
his answer to his son working is probably the greatest answer he's done with his q&a. really great father
Casey's so fucking right: I worked in a coffee chain, and a supermarket. Even though my superiors and coworkers were excellent, it was fucking miserable. Until my last breath, I will deeply respect and appreciate every person who grinds it out in the service industry.
+Aozotra same here man, I was a dishwasher tho
+Aozotra 6 years of retail experience - the managers were shit...most of the time -_- and my coworkers were competitive as shit for commission - miserable indeed and then customers....(i will not start because i will still be here maybe 2 years later writing about customers)
So what you doin now ?
+Aozotra Same with me.

Work hard in school, but realize it's not a one-size fits all model. You fish will find your pond! Or lake. Or ocean.
***** Creating multiple accounts to like your own comment, I see.
***** What does Casey mean when he answered this question? ("This two, sell pass"?)
Will Raleigh This too, shall pass. shall = will. It's an expression that means that the bad situation you're going through is temporary. Out of curiosity, are you learning English? Just so I know, and I can explain this better. :)
***** Yup. But education is what matters in this world, nothing else does. So your ability to do whatever, probability won't help you
ashley riot If you try your best and fail, your best just isn't good enough
Insanely good answer about Owen and his first job - just excellent!
👌🏻👍🏼
👍👏😀❤
+BGBrygfjeld The perfect answer.
not perfect
That's the REAL DAD!
I totally agree with the shitty first job thing. I doubt most people that are in that position understand what they are actually gaining from it, but that experience is absolutely invaluable to you as a person.
***** That's enough marketing for today buddy.
***** fancy running into you here, good sir! Work hard, stay positive!
***** Whaaaat are you doing here?!
My first job as a 16 year old, "i felt like a poor little chinese boy working in a sweatshop" for 4weeks, 9 hours a day, felt like 72 hours a day.#nopainnogain
***** cool to see a fellow rider watching caseys vids! I watch your stuff too..Be careful out there man!
You're such a fucking good parent. Seriously, You rock.
Casey - you're so right. Prior to going to college, I worked at Target for a year. I developed a sense of self and respect for others. I'd like to believe working in an environment life that humbled me. Though it was difficult at the time, I'm grateful for that year I worked at Target.

aceconfetti i worked at target too! totally agree with you. i even wish i still had my job there
Devin A well, there are Targets everywhere that will gladly hire you to work as a slave
Ricky Stafford actually, the only reason I'm not working at Target anymore is because I live in Canada and they are no longer open here, so I lost my job. And it was hardly slave work.
I'm 14 and I've never worked at a real job
But my dad taught me respect and I learned by analyzing him, my family, and people around me
I respect people that have shitty jobs like a cashier
Because my mom and dad work in the service sector
and knowing that if I treat people terrible
One day I may be that person and they may be on the other side of that stick
I've never simply been handed something
I've always been beat around the bush
Currently I have to save money to buy myself a car
And even then I won't have enough but I'll ask my parents if I could borrow money and slowly pay it off
Most kids are handed a car with no responsibility
I have to earn it
"It had to be destroyed"
That was brilliant
Casey you are SUCH a good father!!! My first job was at a vegetable stand when my mom decided since I was old enough to work on a farm (14 where I live), I was old enough to buy my own clothes and get a paycheck. I will NEVER forget working at that farm stand... and the experiences at that job led me to jobs in retail during college that I embraced wholeheartedly because I understood it could be a lot worse.

***** yeah but retail is just another shitty job to be honest...
Ricky Stafford I mean I'm about to start medical school so...
Yeah I'm just saying it's nothing to aspire towards. I've been there too.
The end! Loved her spontaneousness.
"the value of a shitty job" would make a great ted talk.
Yes so true!
He would make an incredible ted talk! Such a good idea!
Haha yeah. He's been on Ted a few times before. He's pretty inspirational in a low key kinda way.
Yes!!!!
That Q and A intro is so good!
No word of a lie, once Casey has a sit down talk with us, I open my notes on my iPhone and start writing down his advice (great to go over the next day and remind yourself of the principles he teaches!) I get the most genius and interactive content from Casey, and for that, I thank you sir!
Same but in my journal. He has a page dedicated for his wise words.
Aman Kaur i do the same thing in my notebook! so many valuable pieces of advice and knowledge i don't want to forget.
Aman Kaur aman would you happen to have those notes still? would love to read that!
When he talks about his son, and the value of experience. My favorite part ^
gotta agree----part of what makes this unique

I love Candices' personality. and when she said "THE END".
I giggled and smiled.
brilliant.
I've been binge watching casey's vlogs for the past 3 days. You're an inspiration, Casey!
9 years later I'm doing the same thing, cant believe he's still so relevant. his videos altho so old dont seem outdated

JamanWerSonst You are generalizing.
CaseyNeistat I think u mean Gandhi..
Spelling errors are cool with me but i cant Quote CasiNaystat can I..
JamanWerSonst I'm European and I think plan Bs are for losers. If you're making a plan B... you're setting yourself up for failure :)
Casey, its Gandhi not Ghandi.
JamanWerSonst Great job generalising, buddy. European here, if true happiness is what you aspire, then chasing your real dreams is the only way to really achieve that. You might not always get to exactly where you wanted to go, but the chances of you finding happiness and fulfilment along the way are infinitely higher than when you play it safe. Live your life to the fullest, or you'll might just find yourself lamenting the safe life you've had on your deathbed.

Man, your answer regarding your son's job was incredible. Top quality dad skills, Casey.
Candice is SO great, even just little glimpses of her in these vlogs makes me smile ;D

watching your vlogs Casey, is honestly the best way to end my night! Much love from SYDNEY Australia :)
***** ikr! :D its the best way to end our night :) I checked out your channel, nice stuff! you go UNSW? that's pretty cool, i go to UTS :D
Yep the vlogs reach me all the way in Canberra, I love seeing people from our land down under watching Casey too! :) Positive ending to my day. Goodnight :)
Hassan Rana I'm watching from Syd too! Such a good little nightly treat :)
Haha, Melbourne. The day Casey comes to Australia will be amazing!
***** I'm doing B Business, i wanna pick up something in communications but mmmh not sure :/.. and yourself?

I can't begin to describe the pure joy I get from watching your videos. You breathe life back into me.
I love Candice's lipstick! (And I keep forgetting how to spell her name.)
Maaike Filmer you did it right. (=
She's awesome
Wow, Casey's answer about Owen is spot on! Definitely speaking the truth. BRAVO!

"THE END" Thanks Candice.
That comment about "treating People behind a Counter... " was awesome! You are my Hero!

q & a is my favorite part of this vlog, also candice looks like mona lisa and also the table suite case is the coolest invention ever
Casey, thanks so much for including little smiles from your daughter, it literally makes me feel better no matter what!
That handcuff-example is brilliant. Great things come often out of the shitty daily grind...
You are SO wise. I look up to you man. I've worked such terrible jobs and every time I've fantasized what I want to do next with my life. Now I'm working towards that goal each and every day!
These vlogs get better and better.
"Ignore praise, and embrace criticism." Needed to hear this today. Just started binge watching your videos and almost every video is something helpful like this. Stay cool bru *thumbs up*
BEST ANSWER EVER about working on a donut store.
AMEN in regards to what you said about people working behind a counter - I am 22 and have done this for the past 6 years while going through College and now University! More people need to understand what it is like to work behind a counter - you can meet some of the nicest and genuine people, but also some of the nastiest! Everyone needs to learn the concept 'treat others as you wish to be treated'.
Candice glaring at the camera in ''THE END'' literally gave me life
everyone should have a job like owen when growing up. it teaches humility which is one of the greatest characteristics you will ever obtain
Only recently discovered you from a FunForLouis vlog you was in now i'm in awe of your videos, incredible work!
Billy Wells I discovered both Casey and Fun For Louis separately then I saw them together in one Vlog imagine that.
Billy Wells dont be a troll
***** how is that being a troll?
Nicholas Anderson
me too, I got nuts that day
Nice I got some Jelly together we could form PB&J the rock band so let's roll!
one of the best advices he's ever given on this channel. It means a lot to me.
Casey suffered a lot and that's why he's a great father,keep going man👍🏻
Dude...his grandma is/was like one of the most known persons in New York..
Really valued your parenting mentality! So refreshing...
candice's outro was the best thing ever
Candice seriously looks so fabulous for someone that just had a baby not that long ago. Props to her.
too many well off people dont instill the things in their children that you are in your son. i know you know this, but you are teaching him invaluable life lessons, and it's no wonder that he seems like such a good kid. and to have had him so young, and to have done such a great job, you and his mother deserve an awful lot of praise. the world needs more parents like you. if it did, we'd have self driving, flying cars already, and there'd be no such thing as starvation. haha. but i digress, great job. great vlog. today i was a little sad that there were no more new casey neistat vlogs, so i'm going back and watching some old ones. really enjoyed this one.
Could not agree with you more about the drive to discover and follow your passion that comes from working a job you hate! It's like it wants to burst from your chest, it just needs to come out and manifest itself.
That into was epic lmao “chocolate and vanilla belong together” HAHAHAHA
Love these videos! Not only the fantastic stories and content from Casey but seeing him live life around New York City daily is truly amazing. What a wonderful city. Great video.
THE END 💁 😂😂😂. I love Candace!!!
my dad left my family ages ago, but you. You i really find comfort in and you give me a sense or morality and guidance. Without the cringe factor exceeding too much, I really do sometimes find a father figure in you. So thankyou for making these videos
nothing wrong with teaching your kid to be humble and appreciative
dude! for real? what u said between 4:44 and 8:17 was the most valuable thing I heard on yt in months or even years. Thanks for sharing that!
I think the motorized unicycle is a thing now! Another vlogger was riding around with it the other day.
Raymond Nguyen who?
I forgot, but he was riding around with it throughout his vlog.
oh okay
cool vlogs btw man, I just subscribed
Saw that too. Forgot who too. Lol
dude....best description of the working life. ALWAYS work your ass off for your true passions and never give up. thank you.
Good advice on the first job thing. You do hit an inflection point where you know you want more. If you don't leave then, it get's harder and harder to leave.
Ricky Stafford No one cares about what you have to say
limtd slipdf Says the guy who cared enough to comment :)
Ricky Stafford One of the most civilized comment sections on youtube and still out come the jackelopes. I agree with you btw.
joydime You should see the other crap this guy has commented on Casey's videos. Dont judge people off a single comment they make. Peace.
limtd slipdf Yet you're judging me off a single comment. Or a few comments. Logic fail. I'm flattered that I have followers. Really.
I love how Casey's workplace is full of all of his friends. And Casey gets more views per video than most youtubers with a million plus subs, you are the most high quality vlogger on youtube and i love your work. Keep doing what you love
There literally is always something going on in New York.. every single start to your vlogs
***** once you go black you ain't going back !! lmfao
***** soooo true, new york is so much better then London
I think Casey just knows where to look for interesting stuff. His Boston and Connecticut vlogs are pretty good and fun too!
You're everywhere!!!!!!!!!! 😅
Casey’s insight on work and ethics and life gave me a lil teardrop
can anyone please write down the answer of 'advice struggling in school' (4:04) ?
would be very nice!
"The best to find what you love in life is doing something you hate". - casey neistat
I will remember these words
Pause at 9:18. New business revealed...
What do you mean?what is it?
Glasses or something?
iChase LOL. The white boards are blurred, and I think these would reveal more. ;) Everything else could be for display, and unrelated to the new business.
iChase Knowing Casey it's probably a decoy lol
Maybe the glasses have a camera the watch has a camera and the gopro and together they produce a cool 3-angle shoot??maybe that's the video in the background?
Casey, you 're a great father. I think this is the BEST part of being you.
"The end"
"Pretty good"
Props to your kid Owen learning to start from where "most" kids start off... You're a great father!! :D
As I graduated, I wanted to study something interesting... something that I would enjoy doing as my job for the rest of my life. I couldn't find any interesting studies, so I took a year break from everything and decided to find a job just to earn some cash. I got accepted into this 55 hour a week job in a household store where I worked as an advisor with paint, furniture, etc. The job was fun - interacting with different types of people, experimenting and creating this place my second home. Although, I couldn't work for more than 8 months - the owner and other staff members were so LAZY, IGNORANT. They didn't assist us in any way and just kept putting work on our shoulders while they kept doing random s#$t like going out to drink coffee, drive around etc. Kinda sucks, I really liked my coworkers. After couple months of quiting, I found a study plan and now I've just finished my second year. 2 years left, and both of them will be spent studying in S.Korea! Weeee~
What did you find interesting to study? :)
Studying computer graphics! Altho, considering to switch to movie making, as there's a way to do so!
Nice! I wish you the best of luck!
Thank you very much!
Does not sound like you figured anything out---staying in school is NOT figuring out your passion--it is really just delaying.
And this is why you are so successful. Every experience that comes from a crappy job really does motivate you to seek more. Complacency is the enemy!
9:18 new line of Neistat branded gear?
555 Gear So why would he blur the white boards ? Why would he do everything to keep it a secret ?
Good questions...the slow roll-out approach is straining to keep my interest. It's not like he's introducing the Powerwall or something...Caseyhow about some straight talk about your business??
555 Gear It depends if there's some form of contractual agreement that prevents him from talking about the work he does. It's obviously something media / film related but what that may be currently may have to stay under wraps.
***** That's fair enough, although he's baited that he'll be talking about it shortly a number of weeks now...
555 Gear Remember, Casey did say that Google glass was his favorite camera. So maybe it is a wearable Camera?
By far one of my most favorite messages delivered in this video.
Wow, kind of didn't believe Dylan when he mentioned knowing you while he filmed a PSA for a non-profit I'm in. I stand corrected though. Also, love what you're doing! You inspire me greatly even when we have differing views on thigs.
I really felt proud of what you told about your sons job! Bravo!
and thats why Candice is the best!
I get exactly what you mean by the horrible job opens the eyes of someone who want to do something way better in life. Great "speech" Casey, truly inspiring :)
Thank you for your great Vlogs!
You give me new life motivation. ;)
Yes me too
I watch your videos every day and from every single one I learn something. Today my lesson was to work harder to achieve my goals! Just really love how you run your life! Thanks Casey!!
Thumbs up on your sons job!
From this point 4:43 and beyond, I totally agree with every word, and respect on that two parts, why you don't give him a better job. People need to learn to respect other people and vice versa !! Agree, you need to learn how to live to live it.
I thought the reason Owen works at a donut shop was clear. "To build character" didn't know it needed explanation.
TheRealRisingSun Calvin's dad!?
Jon Yoder "Calvin, go do something you hate! Being miserable builds character!"
I thought Casey was going to say something along the lines of "because I don't want him to think that life is going to be easy having me as a father, he has to work for his own things"
My late morning coffee and Casey's vlog, every day! Haven't missed not even one of your vlogs, love them.
Like the comments about your son. Good on you :)
Also "The End". i lol'd
me too, he is a great dad
that was strong stuff.
Candice is soooo sassy! Got to love you both! Thanks for sharing your daily movies. I appreciate your passion, conviction, and extreme execution. Injoy!
Candace needs to star in a Woody Allen movie.... she is awesome!
Dude i don't know how you could seriously get more inspirational! My day just seems to lack something when i don't get my daily dose of your vlogs!
Ever human should or i should say MUST work in retail once in your younger age.
That job will teach you manners, how to behave in Public and rest the Person working on a cash counter.
I work in retail and i bunch of fools not understanding the basics, if my Computer give up on me and they have to wait for their change for couple of minutes, it don't mean they need to start acting like a douchebag.
Not just retail, the food business as well ><
Being a waitress fucking sucks.
***** waitress makes 2.13 an hour and absolutely depend on your genorosity to make a living.. Retail makes minimum wage or more. However I understand your concept. Serving food in the food industry absolutely blows.
***** Hells to the yes.. Where at? I'm moving there and putting my application in. 30k is a lot for pulling carts. Heh heh
I think I already called a vlog 'the best' before, but this one is the best one yet. Very wise words. Thank you Casey, for that!
Why is Candice extra glammed up today? So pretty
I totally agree with the first job comments that Casey had. I just quit a retail job I was in for 4 and a half years (my first job) and shall be beginning as a trainee pharmacist assuming I pass my final exams. What I learnt from working in retail taught me a hell of a lot more than I expected and really made me see things in a different light. This is one of the many reasons I always look forward to these daily vlogs, they're priceless! :)
the beginning is hilarious
6:06 Best advice ever.
When I started university 4 years ago I saw this video and this quote specifically shook me. I took the advice and knowingly I got a shitty job as a guy who tosses 10 Kilogram bottles of water at a supermarket all day. In that 1 year I worked at this shitty place I found my passion , i started busting my ass doing all the necesery things to achieve it , going to cources , practicing , putting in the long hours , the early mornings and the late nights and now I am on the verge of graduating university and a company hired me to work for them , its my dream job , and I actually did things to impress them to hire me. So yes , get a shit job. Worst that can happen is you can quit and find a new job. Best that can happen is you will turn your life around.
Thank you Casey for the advice.
