i wish you good luck man you have the vision
bratannnnnnnnn
You'll sit on a million plus one day. i love the grind , keep it up
he also has no idea what he's doing it. Dude's blessed.
good luck man i've watched the channel for a while, dig the honesty.
Didn’t expect you and Neok to watch this lol
It's refreshing to hear you say that your aware of your mortality and that you don't want to spend this little time on earth settling, go forth young man!
Stoicism hell yeah
Oh god I thought u where talkin bout UA-cam, I’m proud for u man
I feel the same way looking up to you as you did to casey neistat. You inspire me to pursue my dreams. Keep it up.
I think that more and more we're forced to face life as an emotionless machine: you study for around 17 years, you work until you're 60 something and then you "enjoy" your retirement for 20 or so years. But life doesn't have to be like this and it's videos like these that really show that the best thing someone can do is to just say "to hell with it" and follow what they really love doing.
I wish you the best of luck and your fans will for sure keep trying their best to support you and you art.
Never change Jake!
Love from Portugal
First time I came across your channel was the Kendrick Lamar video. The intro was very captivating and the entire experience from the video was enjoyable, it helped me relive some of the memories I had growing up listening to Kendrick and it seemed you had a familiar experience. It's refreshing to listen to you articulate those feelings associated with the artists you make videos about and be able to relate to it - and of course the presentation/visuals are very sick too.
It's quite crazy watching you explain this transition because I feel like I'm on a similar path, recently just quit my job and am trying to create a business out of software development ideas I have. I'm a bit restrained financially so won't be able to support your patreon right away but I will be tuning into your future releases and am wishing you the best of luck in pursuing your dreams.
ps. I really hope you manage to get that Mac Miller video back up lol!
We definetly need that one back!

Congrats Jake. Quitting my job to be an entrepreneur at 23 was the hardest thing but looking back at 28 it was the best decision of my life. Just be ready to sacrifice and good things will come.
Also learn about small business taxes and write offs especially if you're working from home.
Congrats bro, crazy seeing this channel grow
big things, congrats bro all the best
i watch a lot of video essays and soon after starting the kendrick video i was like damn this dude is built different
Mr. Zeeman, you’re a legend, a godddd! We appreciate you!
It’s a crazy leap to quit your job and pursue your dream. Good shit, good luck, and I can’t wait to see what you produce!
Keep waking up at the same time, and the grind you’ve been on. Some people get lazy when they quit their full time job and end up accomplishing only slightly more each day compared to when they were working and doing a side hustle
I say this because this is what happened to me lol
your channel is extremely refreshing, the cinematics, the filmmaking i dont know there's just something about it that makes it very enjoyable, i hope the best for you and will continue to support uu
insane, i hope to be in your position one day
Inspirational dude and I’m excited to watch your journey and next few videos 😊
You’re have one of the only channels where I don’t mind watching 20 to 30 mins at all!! Great content bro!!! Keep it up
I love that you're in the Bay Area too and you love music. Greek Theater is for sure one of my favorite venues too and Berkeley has this special energy
Good luck man, I really like your videos and if youtube doesn't work out, you can always go back and get a new job
"It's not just fouseyTUBE, Jake Paul and Logan Paul. There's actual quality content" - AMEN brother! And yours is up there with the best of it. So stoked that you found what you are passionate about. Love your vids and can't wait to see some more of them! Also, ya can't beat getting home from work, chucking on a JZ Spotify playlist and vibing out. Keep making that magic happen, big things are coming for ya
The docs you make are so insightful and well made I feel like I’m watching a massive channel with a team of researchers but when I ordered a hat from you I got a handwritten note on a sticky note and realized how genuine you are
good luck man. you're content is very high quality, and I think this channel is gonna to take off :) we saw it first
Wish you the best of luck. You’ve found your passion and are doing what you enjoy. You’ll never work another day in your life...keep inspiring us!
Good stuff man...best of luck! Sucks I won't be running into you at the office anymore, but keep in touch!
Love the honesty bro, build it and they will come
would love to make documentaries with you one day, i'm a big fan of the music and the editing, im a videographer from TX. hope to help you make the big dreams come true
I am so excited ! You were the first UA-cam channel I found when I finally and officially engulfed myself as a viewer in this platform. I cant wait for more frequent content, and to help support the channel as well. Thank you for all you do, Jake! Excited to experience this new endeavor with you.
I like that travis scott nike hoodie 🔥🔥
Proud of you JZ! We know this is a huge risk financially given all of the UA-cam copyright issues, so we are excited to support you and your channel on Patreon and see you keep crushin' it!
I love how you don't care about not getting money so that theres an experience of the person's music/work. So inspired for you bro and can't wait for the future with this channel. I'll never leave this channel no matter who you become. #Zeemer4Life
proud of u bro
Really cool seeing you went to Clemson man, my dad graduated in 1985 and moved up to Northern Virginia to work for Orbital ATK as a Rocket Scientist because that was his major and I recently discovered your videos and the cool tour you did of their football facilities along with your vids on some of my favorite artists like Kanye and Kendrick. Keep up the good work because your production is quality man 🙌
Seriously this is way more inspirational and helpful than stuff from all those self-help gurus out there. Good luck dude - you got it!
Hey Jake, I'm psyched to hear you're gonna do this full time! I've really been digging the bios, especially those covering musicians but I'm happy to explore some interesting people no matter their walk of life. I'll definetly lend some support on patreon. I just have to sleep on how much I feel like I can do as a student right now. Keep it up and much love from Germany
You can always find another job but you will never find another passion you gotta go for it
Jake you’ve been one of my favorite UA-camrs for a long time. You have a genuine energy to you and everything you do. I believe in you man, and know that you’ll do well and gain great things.
One of my favorite songs of all time by Kate bush cloud bursting has a lyric “ your suns coming out”
Your sun, your beam of hope and destiny is going to come soon.
Signed up for your patreon without even watching the vid yet!!!!! You're SO TALENTED, and I'm so excited to support ya
Im going to do the same next week. Pursuing my dream more full time and working for myself. It's a big risk so prayers and blessings to most of us. I've been miserable and going through deep depression
Jake I haven’t seen this video yet; but you are actually an inspiration man
I just went through your Spotify, and man, I'm sooo thankful for this. So many songs that I've always needed but never found. This is pure magic.
• excited for you bro, everyone should chase their dream 😤 •
You got this Jake, I was here for you.
I just discovered you and your channel. I’m turning 26 next week and am overwhelmed with life, work, school, etc. but what you’re doing and the content you make is something I’ve always wanted to get into. Hearing your story has inspired me
damn. I definitely feel inspired by this. To make a decision like this, in a time with so much uncertainty... I'm excited to see this next chapter unfold. Kudos to u!!!
I really hope this goes the way you want it to my dude. Finding you, to me, felt like finding Cole Cuchna, or Volksgeist. You guys are what breathes life into the depths that these artists are willing to go to, to bring out their art.
I don't think many people could or would see that, without having guides like you. So thank you. Always gonna be a fan. 😌
The best, most underrated, creative on this platform atm
love your videos, love your work on youtube. Good luck for your future endeavours
Definitely happy for you luv your content!!
Good for you man! Thanks for sharing
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS KEEP DOING WHAT YOU LOVE ❤️❤️
bro this video really touched me cos i feel the exact same way especially about your own mortality, it's like i was watching me talking to myself
This video gave me a lift. Thanks for sharing. I look forward to seeing how your story develops.
Shout out to you Jake! Can’t wait to see what you go on to do.
just found your channel and have been straight binging your videos. keep it up!!
Good luck with everything your doing! I really love your channel!
Go for it dude! Love your videos!
Congratulations on this new path Jake. We cannot wait to see what you have in store for us.
I have been watching your videos for a while now and I am very excited on what you can do in the future.
Happy for you bro! Keep it up
I've watched your videos for YEARS and never knew you were a Clemson Grad!?! As my profile picture suggests - I am too!
We have more than just that in common. I moved to Denver for a new corporate job in January and much like your anecdote - it's unfulfilling but secure and reliable. I'm near the tipping point where I need to lean into my niche, and seeing your video really reinforced that.
Best of luck Jake, and Go Tigers.
Dude you’re awesome! Thank you for making this content 🙏🏻 Keep living your dream.
Here for the journey!
Glad you are doing this full time. I LOVE your videos!! Keep going!!!
Happy for you! Congrats!!

Definitely on your way to greatness, thanks for the inspiration
Love your work. Your art
Your project. Will keep watching.
Super stoked for you man, very inspiring to see you go for it. I’m definitely looking forward to all the content to come!!
Your really good at making Docs...when I'm watching them I forget its a UA-cam video.... It feels like the old Mtv Docs. Im 35 years old and one thing I'd tell you is ....UA-cam is like being a car salesman.....you've gotta sell that car , if you don't welllll ya don't eat..... I'd say do what makes ya happy.....and always always always have a backup plan... Ya never know.... Good luck!!!
I love your channel man you’re an inspiration keep up the good work
Very inspired by your videos! Keep up the amazing work! Congratulations on the brave decision!
