Every time a door closes, another opens. Every time I’ve changed careers either forced or by choice it always worked out for the better. I’m sure it will for you as well.
My wife just got laid off this last Monday, 10/30/23. She was devastated. Almost 16 years with the company. But we are looking at it as a new beginning and a time for new opportunities. Good luck to you.
As someone who's worked in the food industry, it's not lucrative by any means, but it's something to keep you going until you find something else. It's also a really good place to meet new people and do some networking. You probably don't want to hear that but like I said, I've worked in the food industry for a long time. It's good honest work.
Blessing in disguise my friend. I lost a job I had at the beginning of last December and only managed to get a new one this past May which is x100 better than my old one. I honestly think you should use this time to just do UA-cam in your spare time and use the majority of your time job hunting. Go hit up any local news outlets, companies, government jobs, anything where they can put your marketing to use. Use this time to build up your connections in Calgary and get you and your family stabilized before you jump back into UA-cam.
what people do not realize is we are at the beginning of the layoffs. When the Central Bank raises interest rates to the point, they are now businesses cannot borrow or afford to borrow more so they have to make cuts usually in the employee department.
Everyone tends to throw positives in this moment. That's good but also not always the most helpful. This sucks. There's no other way around it. That's totally valid. Let yourself feel bad about it and work through it. Then work towards a better future. I will subscribe to all your channels even if it's content that doesn't interest me to try and help.
Honesty has a lot of value man. You'll find something fast, if not we'll be around to support the channel for sure. I'd happy like and watch every video to help.
Wishing you all the luck!!! I was also laid off recently but have been at my new position just under a month. There is work out there and I'm sure you'll find something!
Been through a similar situation couple months ago. Was a tough time but I made it through and now things are better than they where and I’m sure things will get better for u as well. Keep going!
So sorry to hear , Matt. I’d apply to as many similar jobs as you can to give you hope and start that process. Every employer is different as far as their hiring timeline so sooner the better. You got this.
Dang man! I hope you find something good soon brotha. Rooting for ya. I am in a simular boat. In 2 to 3 years I'll be good but got to wait it out and find something in the meantime.
You seem like a great and smart guy. I’m sure you’ll find another job soon. In the meantime I’ll watch your videos for as long as you’re still making them. Best of luck Matt
Look at it this way dude- the best product you have to promote to other people is YOU. Figure out a sales campaign for product placement somewhere you want to be and execute the plan. You got this!
Hang in there and have faith! I've been there and yes it won't be easy but hopefully things turn out to be better soon. Meanwhile, emotional supports from loved ones are important, too. Reach out for them. Good luck
Sorry youre going through this man! I know a lot of people that have recently been laid off. I know you will figure something out! Im sure you know, but apply for EI. Its a bit of a wait but anything helps. Ill definitely keep my ears open for any jobs around here! All the best to you!
Been there. Sometimes we look back at these moments as the catalyst for something special. Maybe it’s a better job, career change, or the time to double down on UA-cam. But think about what makes you happy and your passionate about, you will get there.
It'll work out for you mate. Just so you know the links in the description aren't formatted correctly. I managed to find the other channels and subscribed!
Man that sucks and you just recently moved didn’t you? Sorry to hear that. I hope it all works out for you. Good thing is there are lots of jobs out there. Hope you find one related to your skill set. Stay positive. We are with you bro!!
Sorry to hear that, maybe take a look at university postings. They’re always looking for marketing and pr professional and many have flexible work schedule / remote positions
Matt you are awesome,life will work out,everytime the tide change it is for a reason,stay positive and keep being you,we are all here for you everyday,big hug to you Veronica and your 2 fluffly kittens!
Mate you are a pretty bright guy, I'm sure you will find another job easily. I'm surprised one of your many viewers doesn't have work for you in the TCG field. You are pretty well known.
every time i have lost a job, it has always lead to something better. In the moment, it was awful and stressful and difficult...but after time has passed ive been better off. Hang in there friend. You got this.
you got people in your corner brother. you got this. You can fail or lose what you thought was the "Safe" job that you don't love, so you might as well take the risk doing what you love. Take a risk in doing what you love, until the next "safe" thing comes around. You got this brother.
Your MTG channel is genuinely fantastic, as a matter of fact, it’s even better than the bigger MTG channels out there. Thank you for the awesome content. Passing on some good luck, optimism and perseverance with my usual “like”! 🥳👍🎉
I was out of work for almost all of July brother with a family of 4 to feed and bills to pay bro I was so stressed selling cards to make it week by week pick up work on the 24 with a better opportunity going to replace cards slowly but surely you got this brother man
Hey man. New to your channel this last month, and I'm very sorry to hear. Losing jobs sucks, getting laid off sucks more BC it's so unexpected. I used to apply to 20 jobs a day, various job sites. Keep up the hustle, something will land for you. Don't sit on it. And push the YT, you're doing great. Worst comes to worst, come back to TO. :/
Hey Mat, I just came across your channel by chance but I too recently got laid off. I know how hard it is to keep your head up in these dark times but I’m rooting for you bro and I hope things start to look up for you and you bounce back sooner than soon. Head up bro! ❤
I'm familiar with this all too well. Which is why I know that months from now you'd have already been back on your feet in a more favorable position. Then one day you'll remember how rough it was back then, and that you still made it through it all anyway. You might even laugh at yourself. You'll be fine. Just takes time.
Dude, become a plumber. You will always have a job and can plumb anywhere in the country. Skilled trades need people. Bet you could have this week as an apprentice.
Just subscribed to patreon, im from Brazil so things cost 5x from here! Wish u the best luck!!! I didnt get what ur career is, however concerning ur good with numbers maybe try a career on data analysis!!!
Feel for u dude - subscribed to your other channels and had my 2 daughters do the same. Your a genuine dude and I think people gravitate towards that so keep your chin up as best u can - here's to your next video titled "I'm Good! Look out Cruel World there's a New Sheriff In Calgary!"
I really don't think you will have a gard time finding a job but i wouldn't go rushing into anything. You're smart, professional, and good at what you do. Do what you love and money will eventually follow.
Hang in there bro. I just had a second heart attack and had a stint put in. I'm only 46 but got to keep going. I return to work soon but it won't be the same. You can get this done.
Every time a door closes, another opens. Every time I’ve changed careers either forced or by choice it always worked out for the better. I’m sure it will for you as well.
Very underrated comment. As long as you keep trying, dont lose hope, and know what you bring to the table people will hire you.
Good luck bro! Keep the faith!
Thanks! I appreciate you
You are a super capable guy and before long this will be a distant memory
Thanks! I appreciate you
the wizard speaks!
Thanks!
Good luck mate!
Thanks! I appreciate you

New great things to come from this. Always enjoy your videos. You're gonna be good dude.

Sorry to hear about that! (Here in Texas summer is year round except for a week when that ice storm happens every year)
what people do not realize is we are at the beginning of the layoffs. When the Central Bank raises interest rates to the point, they are now businesses cannot borrow or afford to borrow more so they have to make cuts usually in the employee department.
Good luck, Matt!
Thanks! I appreciate you

Life will get better for you and please never give up! Things happens for a reason and I believe this will be the beginning of a new life.
Really strong to put yourself out there, let us know how we can refer you or share your portfolio should we hear of anything.
Keep your head up bro. One chapter closes but another will open. Good luck sir.
Honesty has a lot of value man. You'll find something fast, if not we'll be around to support the channel for sure. I'd happy like and watch every video to help.
Best wishes to hope things get better soon! Not much but will be a member to support a bit
I appreciate you 🙌
Matt! You got this man! We're rooting for you. 🎉

These kinds of things always rub me the wrong way.
MATT, Dude your Amazing you will find a way through! we are Canadians we never give up BOOMSTICK!
So sorry to hear , Matt. I’d apply to as many similar jobs as you can to give you hope and start that process. Every employer is different as far as their hiring timeline so sooner the better. You got this.
Dang man! I hope you find something good soon brotha. Rooting for ya. I am in a simular boat. In 2 to 3 years I'll be good but got to wait it out and find something in the meantime.
Sorry to hear friend, subbed to the patreon.
Hopefully things turn around for you in Calgary! I'll see you at the RC hopefully
god speed and good luck buddy! things will turn around!
I will never relocate for a job again - this new era of layoffs and lack of loyalty your better staying in your city
I never relocated to work I relocated for housing the job that I was laid off from was a remote job from the city I moved from
You seem like a great and smart guy. I’m sure you’ll find another job soon. In the meantime I’ll watch your videos for as long as you’re still making them. Best of luck Matt
Look at it this way dude- the best product you have to promote to other people is YOU. Figure out a sales campaign for product placement somewhere you want to be and execute the plan. You got this!
MattCaster Mage I'm so sorry that this has happened. I've got faith in you that you'll find a new gig keep your head high.
I've been through the same thing myself. Hang in there, and you will find something.
Thats rough to hear man. Genuinely hope good fortune finds you brother. You got this!
You've got this Matt, anyone can tell at a glance you're a well put together, clean cut and smart dude!
Keep Strong Bro! You'll get through this!
Hang in there and have faith! I've been there and yes it won't be easy but hopefully things turn out to be better soon. Meanwhile, emotional supports from loved ones are important, too. Reach out for them. Good luck

Oh dang! That's a rough one... Being there and I've found there are doors that will open. Keep a smile up (hard to do, I know) and things will happen.
It'll work out for you mate.
Just so you know the links in the description aren't formatted correctly. I managed to find the other channels and subscribed!
Wishing you the best, brother.
I hope you not only land on your feet, but rise up even further.
Restructuring is the worst man I have been there. I’ll be doing my best to continue to support you where I can!
Dont freak out yet, just keep on looking and find what you can
Man that sucks and you just recently moved didn’t you? Sorry to hear that. I hope it all works out for you.
Good thing is there are lots of jobs out there. Hope you find one related to your skill set. Stay positive. We are with you bro!!
I did. Makes it extra difficult.
positive thoughts sent your way, your competency and passion shine through so have no doubt you'll find your footing sooner rather than later.
One of you Canadians need to hire this guy. You come down to the states I’d put you to work.
Sorry this has happened. Hang in there my man. Wish I had better for you. Good luck from the US.
Matt - you are motivated so this is temporary issue to make room for bigger things.
Keep on trucking. Things will work out
Sorry to hear that, maybe take a look at university postings. They’re always looking for marketing and pr professional and many have flexible work schedule / remote positions
Just don't give up hope. Things will work itself out.
Matt you are awesome,life will work out,everytime the tide change it is for a reason,stay positive and keep being you,we are all here for you everyday,big hug to you Veronica and your 2 fluffly kittens!
Hang in there bud! Don’t let it bring you down! Stay positive, stay vigilant.
Mate you are a pretty bright guy, I'm sure you will find another job easily. I'm surprised one of your many viewers doesn't have work for you in the TCG field. You are pretty well known.
Big fan Matt, keep your head up, you will land somewhere my friend! Stay positive my dude!
Matt just saying, youll get out of this, just try to be open. Check options with home office logins just to weather out the storm.
Matt, my prayers go out to brother. Stay strong and keep your head up ! We are here for you. Wish you all the best and rooting for you !
You and your family are in my heart. I will pray for you and send positive vibes your way. You WILL be ok. Just breathe.

Matt, You're a great creator. I wish you luck in finding your next job with a nice working environment.
You will make it somehow, my friend! 🙏🏻

You can fail or lose what you thought was the "Safe" job that you don't love, so you might as well take the risk doing what you love.
Take a risk in doing what you love, until the next "safe" thing comes around.
You got this brother.
That's a shame, sorry to hear that. But that means it's time to find something bigger and better!

You can collect/apply for EI as well.
Sending prayers for you and your family from me and Dominic....
You have a lot of talent with marketable skills. I have no doubts that you’ll land on your feet in no time.
I'm familiar with this all too well. Which is why I know that months from now you'd have already been back on your feet in a more favorable position. Then one day you'll remember how rough it was back then, and that you still made it through it all anyway. You might even laugh at yourself. You'll be fine. Just takes time.
Sorry Matt, I'm sure the universe will work out in your favor!!
Keep perspective, look after what you do have and build up from there, always look on the bright side of life :)
Dude, become a plumber. You will always have a job and can plumb anywhere in the country. Skilled trades need people. Bet you could have this week as an apprentice.
Fingers crossed that one of your 20k friends on here can help you out with gainful employment!
Keep your head up man, another opportunity will present itself.
Sorry about it, Matt. Good luck out there friend.
I've been thru 2 lay offs it sucks ass but as long as you keep your head up and stay positive you will be fine.
