I love hearing the way Linus talks about Yvonne. He's always giving credit and praising her. Very nice to see a role model exemplifying a positive relationship.
Wasn't expecting the talk about Linus's mental health. As private as he is I didn't think he would divulge that part of him. Respect... I also remember back when Yvonne started becoming more of a part of the public side of the channel, and trolls would say things like "She's too pushy" or that "she doesn't belong here". I think the biggest hurdle for Linus and Yvonne to overcome was how nasty some of us can be on here.
I have to agree although i was never the one to publicly comment about yvonne starting to get introduced into linus videos, when she started coming on the show I thought it was stupid because linus was always the "head honcho" watching clips like this makes me realize that Yvonne really is the brain of the company when it comes to financials. With out her like linus said I we would not have LTT
@@AnDr3w066 Negative feedback can be given with respect. It's nasty when it's not, like when they comment that Yvonne is only there because she's the owner's wife, or other ways of discounting her contributions.
@@AnDr3w066 . Not being able to tell the difference between negative and nasty makes me think you leave those nasty unproductive, non-constructive comments.
@@AnDr3w066 That isn't negative feedback, it's people being misogynistic. Thinking she provided no value to the company purely just because she is a woman. Says a lot if you think that's constructive in any way
I suspect most of us regular viewers already knew the answer to this, I mean it's obvious every time Linus talks about Yvonne and her impact on his life and his career.
I literally called my wife after seeing this video. I don't think I often give her enough credit for what sometimes feels like annoying and naggingness, but ultimately does lead to much more success in my personal life. Thank you, Linus!
I love when linus is honest, i also struggled with university, simply it wasn't for me. When i knew my now wife, i was trying for the third time, since it was what my family wanted, eventually i got fed up, we moved together and started working from the bottom, now almost 10 years after, i'm a software developer with my own team. And i owe all to her, i would not have the courage to basically move away from my family and make it on our own.
College is overrated. This is coming from a college graduate. I am glad to have the degree, just to say that I have one. And for me, having taken 7 and a half years to get my 4-year degree, it’s more just proof to myself that I can push through and get the job done even after falling over and over again. But I have been told by my boss that it wasn’t even my degree that got me my job; I was very green (which meant I didn’t need to be un-trained out of old habits) and I did well on an aptitude test. People just need to be willing to learn and able to apply it in the real world, which college doesn’t always do a good job of simulating. There are tons of people with great aptitude that doesn’t translate to schooling, but put them in the real world and they will take off.
early on in my programming career I thought it would have been easier if I'd had a degree. now I realize that it's just really hard to get those first jobs for most folks who don't have good connections to start with, degree or not.
College is only worthwhile if it's required for a specific career path like law or medicine --- it still baffles me why so many kids go to college for business when you can just start your own business and learn as you go
Can we get Yvonne to share her side of the story to say why she trusted that you would be able to do it, why she did all of that and while she was doing it, what were you doing and why in her eyes you were exactly the person to do such a thing and not someone else or herself, etc? But if she doesn't want to or can't it's fine, I don't want to make her mad. Linus mad is fine, Yvonne mad not so much. :D
I would imagine that seeing Linus' potential is what made her fall in love with him. He couldn't have done it without him, but I'm certain that seeing his passion and drive convinced her that he could make it, and to do everything she could to help.
Asian women are very perceptive --- she saw Linus and his true passion for tech and she realized that is why he needed to do for a living --- many women would just be like "oh stay in school and get a degree"
Thank you Linus for the first part, talking about suicide. I lost my job back in 2019 and fell into a massive depression and even thought about ending one night before I passed out from drinking alone in my apartment. 3 years later, am in the process of moving my small business I started with my childhood friend to a store. Now am my own boss and the future looks bright. You coming out about a serious issue, if it helps anyone in this comment section then you are an amazing man
And here I am struggling to find a job in my 3rd world country that's also undergoing a full blown crisis right know. Living with my parents feeling like a parasite cause the only thing I'm good for apart from programming is breathing. Reading all the comments somehow made me feel a little bit more confident about my future but man it is hard. I wish I had an Yvonne or a friend in my life to talk to on a deep personal level. Wish me luck I guess haha
Yvonne, you're the fucking best 💪. An inspiration for a lot of people and families with parents that work their asses of for the greater good of said families. Y'all worked damn hard and deserve all the props.
This sounds so similar to my wife and I and our current business. I hated what I was doing with a passion, my then GF saw that and also pushed me to take the leap to do what I love. She ALSO had to support myself and her while things got going. Though not to the size of LMG, we are doing quite well in our niche with YOY growth every year since then. I know we've been in a bull market since, but I'm always expanding my network and knowledge so that I can continue to learn more and do more in the industry.
I want to thank Luke for stopping to clarify what he meant about "you're not made for that." A woman I love has been pushing me to try college again and I'm planning to do so just for her but I made a mental note of this moment to remind myself even if I fail now at this later age, it doesn't make me worthless or a failure overall, it might just be a particular challenge I'm not made for. Thanks for the clear headedness Luke.
"Trying college for her" kind of sets the whole narrative up already, do it if you think you might be ready now. You very well might be, people change a lot. But think about your motivation.
The more I hear these kinds of stories, the more I want to hear from the spouses behind the UA-camrs. There's so much behind the scenes and hard work no one ever hears about.
Man...hearing this just made me realize how much I would love to be like Linus. Not even talking about the multi million dollar prouction company, but not being on my own, having someone on my side to share my life...
Keep working on yourself, become the person that people want to be with and try to be more confident .. that's what I did and it helped me to go from almost in the verge of suicide to happy.
@@adityadivine9750 Just go for it brother. A few days of sadness is nothing compared to what a prolonged hurtful relationship can do. I took the plunge, it was worth it.
From what I can gather on my many hours on here, Yvonne saw how seriously Linus took doing this business and wholeheartedly supported him as much as she was able to, even though I believe I remember her saying that she thought he what he was doing was crazy, but she also saw that he wasn't going to just give up on it, or half-ass it. He was giving 100% of himself to the company, so she was too.
Love to hear Linus give real credit to his wife!! You shared more than he needed to and we thank you. Surround yourself with the right people and great things can happen. An empire is not built by the sacrifices and hard work of one person but by many. Happy you found your passions and a place where you could succeed. Very encouraging clip to hear. Best of luck to you and your team.
I absolutely love watching the Yvonne videos. Both when she is on her own in a video or when she with others. She's a total boss lady (In all the good ways). And has a wicked nice sense of humor! Also thanks for sharing Linus. (and Luke). I like that there has been alot more of these "private" elements to the videos lately. Makes them so much more relateable and genuine to watch. It was not a direction i would have predicted you taking given the whole expansion you are doing. For most others that would have been a prompt to step further away from those kinds of things.
Linus, thank you for being honest about the struggles you've faced, and thank you, Yvonne, for seeing his potential and encouraging him to do the fantastic things you are doing together!
Thank you for sharing this, Linus! I just flunked out of community college because academia is my nightmare and moved back in with my parents. I'm trying to get a part time job, but having a disability is making that extremely difficult (getting hired isn't the biggest problem it's the random ass work hours). I'm having trouble finding an industry that can keep my interest for more than three months. I'm thinking about starting my own online business, but I don't have much of a clue what I would like that business to be. The only thing that gets me out of bed and keeps me alive at this point is my responsibility to my cats to feed them and give them their medication. I'm just clinging onto the hope that one day I will find someone or something that motivates and empowers me and hearing Linus' story is giving me strength. Thank you, Linus!
It’s super sweet hearing Linus talk about Yvonne and also kinda motivating hearing him talk about his experience with school since I really resonate with loving to learn but not being compatible with school. I just dropped out of my freshman year of college because I couldn’t take it mental health wise and I haven’t truly felt compatible with school since I was 13. I’m feeling a bit aimless right now so hearing him talk gives me hope that I’ll be able to figure my life out.
Have you ever considered an assessment for ADHD or other neurodivergent disorders? It doesn’t mean you can’t do things if you do have one, just that you have to do things differently to most of the world, and you’d qualify for some accommodations. Most of us with ADHD are super curious, but NOT compatible with school.
@@sixthandelm I got diagnosed with ADHD a few years ago, actually. Fortunately, I've found a job that I like, and I've gone back to community college part-time. I'm in a much better place than I was when I first commented this. I appreciate you replying to this, it's very kind of you.
@@JDactal That’s wonderful! I’ve known I had ADHD since I was a kid but no one knew what to do for that in the 80’s. It wasn’t until my son was diagnosed that I learned how many of my “quirks” and were because of ADHD. I’m so glad you’ve found a job that fits you! It’s a shame that school is set up so neurodivergent people struggle.
Im pretty new to the whole lmg scene, but ive always loved yvonnes presence on any video and seeing interactions with her and linus. Seeing this clip is truly heart warming and validates that nearly tangible level of respect ppl tend to have here. Amazing woman, amazing team.
Great to hear, i love seeying the relationship you two have in videos too. Teasing but also respectful at the same time, i think you kids can be glad to have you two as their parents.
Beautiful. Always, all our love for you and Yvonne, your kids, and the entire LTT Fam. Thank you for enriching all of our lives with your channel and your entire life experience and story. Godspeed an awesome and bright future for all of you...
God I relate to this clip so much. I was working a tech job back in Newfoundland for a long time and barely making enough to eat some weeks and was so incredibly depressed. Moving out to Vancouver Island and meeting my wife and having her push me and support me has brought me to working at a company I love in the tech/content creator space, with great people. its incredible how much you can accomplish having someone who can support you and push you.
Hey Yvonne. Thanks so much for all your hard work, seriously you are inspiration for how family's should function. Amazing job 👏 🙌 you deserve all the blessings, and more!
im going through something very similar to what linus went through and this video gave me a little more confidence that things might go right. unfortunately i dont have someone like yvonne to support me. im also out of school right now and am struggling hard with my depression and wether school is meant for me. just like linus i love learning almost over half of my yt recommended is educational content like tech, engineering, science and even history but for some reason i have never done well in school and even worse in uni so ya thanks linus for sharing this and showing me that school might not be the only option
wtf man I wasn't expecting to cry in a 4 min clip! Shout out to Yvonne and all the less seen or unseen people that bring the company together and have kept it strong.
I should bookmark this and throw this at everyone who ever questions Yvonne’s contribution to ltt. This and the clip mentioning how she basically funded you. Linus and Yvonne are the model couple for me
Just goes to show how much a supportive partner, someone in your corner, can change your life. We should all strive to be that supportive partner for the people in our lives.
Props to you both!!! It's nice to see a couple work as a team and have the courage, passion and drive to support each other in their dreams. Yvonne this may not have been what you set out to do but I hope you have found fulfilment as a woman, a wife, a colleague and a person in this endeavor that has been LMG!
Damn Linus keeping it real here. Thanks for that… sometimes it helps for others to know that people who ended up successful went through some truly dark times.
Es freut mich so sehr, dass Du dein Rettungsengel in Yvonne gefunden hast. Diese Depressionen, die kenne ich viel zu gut, und es ist gut, dass man darüber redet. Und Glückwunsch an Yvonne, dass sie sich so einen lustigen Typen wie Dich geangelt hat 🙂
damn so wholsome getting linus out of depression and posibly preventing a suicide and motivating him to work on his dream and everything . yvonne is the MVP everyone need and deserve in life
I now understand why both of them are kind and understanding people. People who have experienced mental issues on either side they seem to more kinder to people. I’m sure Linus has helped his employees in their bad days because of his experience.
Big up Yvonne. Also thanks Linus for being so open about your mental health and just talking about it. Will help people realise that everyone goes through stuff at some point
im suferring a very serius depression, and seeing linus talk about that topik, is reconfortable in some way. thx man. theres some nights that i even sleep with some of your channels with the screen of my phone bloqued and youtube in the backgorund and you talking about some intreesting stuf.... some days for half an hour, other 3 or more, but linus media group is my "night" companion. thx all of you for that
Many divorce-raped men wish it were always the case. If what Linus is saying is true, then saying that Yvonne is a keeper is an understatement of the highest order. I honestly hope he's being sincere, because men glorifying their wives is very cliche, considering that nobody knows what goes on behind the scenes except them.
Yvonne is the MVP, and everything she did has payed off for sure, you two have successfully raised an excellent and still growing company, a wonderful family, and an awesome community. You two should be proud of yourselves.
Wow. Normally a lot of women with high ranking jobs would not settle for less. Pharmacist in the USA pays 6 figures and I am sure in Canada too. But for her to believe in LInus and take that jump and motivate and push him to create what he has today says a lot about her and that should give men everywhere hope that there are good women out there.
Man, I need to find an awesome person like Yvonne! It was very great of her to take up so much responsibility. She obviously loves and believes in him so much. That's a great relationship.
In those rare moments where you open up in front of the camera your love and devotion for Yvonne and your children is clear. By your own admission, you may not have always been as present and available to her and your children as you, her or your children deserved largely due to your time spent building LMG into what it is today but you are clearly making up for lost time now and for that I have a lot of respect.
Linus, thank you for talking so positively about your partner. We live in a culture that expects men to be the ones that ALWAYS bear the brunt of providing for our families and you praising Yvonne for basically being a provider at that time in your life is brave and positive. What she did was incredibly brave and selfless. Go Yvonne!
Yvonne you've helped shaped the PC gaming industry with helping Linus. I don't think many of the companies today would be where they are with out the content LTT produces.
watched a video to linus back in 2014 reviewing laptops at some point i remember he was referring his waif opinion on laptop and how he agrees with her on that matter! came to my mind what a smart person and how supportive she is, linus you lucky to have her.
Would be something powerful to learn if you ever guys attend to a emotional date, where you guys let everything out and express to each other, how far you guys have got working together and being one of the best duos ever on every business platform.
Happy to hear someone else share candidly what it's like to be in your early 20s and realize how horrific college can be. It can be wonderful things for many people but it was the single worst decision I ever made. When my then girlfriend, now wife told me to drop out after i burst into tears about how miserable, hopeless and like a failure I felt when i realized i was never going it make it, it was one of the best things that has ever happened to me. A weight of shame was lifted from my shoulders and I could begin to wake up in the morning and begin to build a sense of pride in myself that I'd simply lost. I don't think about what life would have been like had she not been there at that moment. I had the same thoughts Linus had. Thank you Linus for putting a voice to the darkest time in my life, I hope others reading find the one for them.
Maybe it’s just me, but it really speaks to the companionship between Luke and Linus when he calls him out about if he went back to school. Bonds like that don’t form overnight but through many trials they faced together. Nothing but respect to the LMG family. You all worked hard and have come a long way. Cheers!
Yvonne is a a gift from the firmament for him. Most people go through their lives without someone so supportive in it. I can see her driving his success....and his happiness. God bless them both!
This is so great! Also, Luke's comments here seem like he's a really, REALLY good friend to Linus. I love it! There's so much to like about LMG, and the relationships are definitely not the least of them!
Yvonne is a legit unicorn of a human being. She's supportive, modivating, hard working, has a sense of humor, and is very pretty. She's a beautiful person, inside and out.
I love hearing about your past and how you came to be where you are today. It;s truly amazing that you've built such an empire in such a short time and kudos to you for sharing those who helped you get there including Yvonne and Luke. I totally understand what you mean about school not being right for you, I think that is true for a lot of people in the tech business myself included, many of us are wired differently and often on the spectrum in some way. Even in my younger high school days I would consider myself, in the least egotistical way possible, to be pretty smart with technology and engineering, yet I failed almost every exam in school and college. Some people just aren't built for the classroom and fare much better with hands-on learning.
Linus and Yvonne are what you imagine when you talk about supportive partners.
Absolutely.
Damm. I wish I had that.

It doesn’t mean you can’t do things if you do have one, just that you have to do things differently to most of the world, and you’d qualify for some accommodations. Most of us with ADHD are super curious, but NOT compatible with school.
@@sixthandelm I got diagnosed with ADHD a few years ago, actually. Fortunately, I've found a job that I like, and I've gone back to community college part-time. I'm in a much better place than I was when I first commented this. I appreciate you replying to this, it's very kind of you.
@@JDactal That’s wonderful! I’ve known I had ADHD since I was a kid but no one knew what to do for that in the 80’s. It wasn’t until my son was diagnosed that I learned how many of my “quirks” and were because of ADHD.
I’m so glad you’ve found a job that fits you! It’s a shame that school is set up so neurodivergent people struggle.
Im pretty new to the whole lmg scene, but ive always loved yvonnes presence on any video and seeing interactions with her and linus. Seeing this clip is truly heart warming and validates that nearly tangible level of respect ppl tend to have here. Amazing woman, amazing team.
Great to hear, i love seeying the relationship you two have in videos too. Teasing but also respectful at the same time, i think you kids can be glad to have you two as their parents.
Beautiful. Always, all our love for you and Yvonne, your kids, and the entire LTT Fam. Thank you for enriching all of our lives with your channel and your entire life experience and story. Godspeed an awesome and bright future for all of you...
That was the quickest "Doubt It" in the West.
I never knew this about Yvonne, what a superstar. A lot of respect to both, what a great example of someone's support in so many ways.
Linus & Yvonne are honestly relationship goals. But yeah, she clearly puts in a lot of work & we respect her for that.
God I relate to this clip so much. I was working a tech job back in Newfoundland for a long time and barely making enough to eat some weeks and was so incredibly depressed. Moving out to Vancouver Island and meeting my wife and having her push me and support me has brought me to working at a company I love in the tech/content creator space, with great people. its incredible how much you can accomplish having someone who can support you and push you.
Thank you Yvonne for pushing Linus! The world would have missed out on so much awesome stuff if LMG never existed! 😛👍❤️
Really appreciate you being open about depression. I’ve also been there, also had the thought. Life changed for me as well.
Glad they clipped this. Its crazy that I have even seen comments talking down Yvonne in relation to LMG when she is like a gigantic part of it.
Hey Yvonne. Thanks so much for all your hard work, seriously you are inspiration for how family's should function. Amazing job 👏 🙌 you deserve all the blessings, and more!
Yvonne really out here being the mvp 🙏
Thank you for sharing this, Linus.
3:20 that story from Luke is wild…. I did all this work…. But still did not pass everyone else’s work in that house
im going through something very similar to what linus went through and this video gave me a little more confidence that things might go right. unfortunately i dont have someone like yvonne to support me. im also out of school right now and am struggling hard with my depression and wether school is meant for me. just like linus i love learning almost over half of my yt recommended is educational content like tech, engineering, science and even history but for some reason i have never done well in school and even worse in uni so ya thanks linus for sharing this and showing me that school might not be the only option
Thank you Yvonne!!!
wtf man I wasn't expecting to cry in a 4 min clip! Shout out to Yvonne and all the less seen or unseen people that bring the company together and have kept it strong.
I should bookmark this and throw this at everyone who ever questions Yvonne’s contribution to ltt. This and the clip mentioning how she basically funded you.
Linus and Yvonne are the model couple for me
wait people actually QUESTIONS Yvonne? wtf i thought it was well known she's also an integral part of LTT
she is also 50% of ltt
@@qibcentricsplayground2043 There are dudes in the tech and gaming world who believe that a woman has no place or somehow can't contribute enough.
Thanks!
Just goes to show how much a supportive partner, someone in your corner, can change your life. We should all strive to be that supportive partner for the people in our lives.
Props to you both!!! It's nice to see a couple work as a team and have the courage, passion and drive to support each other in their dreams. Yvonne this may not have been what you set out to do but I hope you have found fulfilment as a woman, a wife, a colleague and a person in this endeavor that has been LMG!
Damn Linus keeping it real here. Thanks for that… sometimes it helps for others to know that people who ended up successful went through some truly dark times.
Es freut mich so sehr, dass Du dein Rettungsengel in Yvonne gefunden hast. Diese Depressionen, die kenne ich viel zu gut, und es ist gut, dass man darüber redet. Und Glückwunsch an Yvonne, dass sie sich so einen lustigen Typen wie Dich geangelt hat 🙂
A big round of clap for Yvonne 👏👏👏👏👏👏
That is so sweet. The way he talks about her is really heart warming
damn so wholsome getting linus out of depression and posibly preventing a suicide and motivating him to work on his dream and everything . yvonne is the MVP everyone need and deserve in life
I now understand why both of them are kind and understanding people. People who have experienced mental issues on either side they seem to more kinder to people. I’m sure Linus has helped his employees in their bad days because of his experience.
The power of a good woman!!!! A good partner, a good partnership
Thanks for your openness! Great to hear this story
Linus may be the head, but Yvonne is the backbone
you mean backvonne?
@@romilonin8927 Sire.. the door is there
Big up Yvonne. Also thanks Linus for being so open about your mental health and just talking about it.
Will help people realise that everyone goes through stuff at some point
Men. And women. Supporting one another. 👍🏻
And that folks is definition of true love.. kudos to her.
Wish you all the best at LMG and as a family.
Linus, that took some guts on your part to reveal the personal things you revealed here. Well done, sir. Respect. Oh, and well done, Yvonne!
Thank you Yvonne and Linus for what you do. I enjoy your UA-cam shows and wished I could meet you in person.
Now it makes even more sense why Linus would do anything for Yvonne!
It's a cute tale actually
Behind every great man, there is Yvonne. Incredible jobs, kudos to both of you. Inspiring clip 😊
Linus and Luke seem so very young to have so much history together.
super glad it worked out the way it did! great job and I'm excited for more lab content
Power couple!
Power trio? Just remember that Jake is practically the 2nd husband now.
@@lukebuchwald9252power quadruple: linus, yvonne, and luke
im suferring a very serius depression, and seeing linus talk about that topik, is reconfortable in some way. thx man. theres some nights that i even sleep with some of your channels with the screen of my phone bloqued and youtube in the backgorund and you talking about some intreesting stuf.... some days for half an hour, other 3 or more, but linus media group is my "night" companion. thx all of you for that
Happy wife. Happy life.
They are there to balance us and keep us sane and vice verse
Happy spouse.. happy house
Many divorce-raped men wish it were always the case. If what Linus is saying is true, then saying that Yvonne is a keeper is an understatement of the highest order. I honestly hope he's being sincere, because men glorifying their wives is very cliche, considering that nobody knows what goes on behind the scenes except them.
Yvonne is the MVP, and everything she did has payed off for sure, you two have successfully raised an excellent and still growing company, a wonderful family, and an awesome community. You two should be proud of yourselves.
Wow. Normally a lot of women with high ranking jobs would not settle for less. Pharmacist in the USA pays 6 figures and I am sure in Canada too. But for her to believe in LInus and take that jump and motivate and push him to create what he has today says a lot about her and that should give men everywhere hope that there are good women out there.
It's cool that in addition to Yvonne being an integral part of the company and team, she's also very good on camera.
I love my wife because she is just like Yvonne. If you find the right partner, life gets a lot easier!
Man, I need to find an awesome person like Yvonne! It was very great of her to take up so much responsibility. She obviously loves and believes in him so much. That's a great relationship.
Big up Yvonne and Linus.
Love the immediate "No" at the beginning and Luke just nodding in agreement.
you and yvonne are the bestt like the best
In those rare moments where you open up in front of the camera your love and devotion for Yvonne and your children is clear. By your own admission, you may not have always been as present and available to her and your children as you, her or your children deserved largely due to your time spent building LMG into what it is today but you are clearly making up for lost time now and for that I have a lot of respect.
I knew Yvonne was important, but this really puts it on another level
Linus, thank you for talking so positively about your partner. We live in a culture that expects men to be the ones that ALWAYS bear the brunt of providing for our families and you praising Yvonne for basically being a provider at that time in your life is brave and positive. What she did was incredibly brave and selfless. Go Yvonne!
Yvonne you've helped shaped the PC gaming industry with helping Linus. I don't think many of the companies today would be where they are with out the content LTT produces.
Cheers man! Much respect to what you have built together.
I'm not crying, you're crying
watched a video to linus back in 2014 reviewing laptops at some point i remember he was referring his waif opinion on laptop and how he agrees with her on that matter! came to my mind what a smart person and how supportive she is, linus you lucky to have her.
I like Yvonne appreciation content
Would be something powerful to learn if you ever guys attend to a emotional date, where you guys let everything out and express to each other, how far you guys have got working together and being one of the best duos ever on every business platform.
Yvonne the real MVP.
Thank You, I needed to hear this. Going through rough patch myself
Damn. I cannot believe how amazing Yvonne is.
Let's make #YvonneMediaGroup happen to honor the real queen. lol
We appreciate you, Yvonne!
YMG the parent company of LMG
Ah yes, the arts and crafts sister channel
@@NinthSettler im diggin this
Happy to hear someone else share candidly what it's like to be in your early 20s and realize how horrific college can be. It can be wonderful things for many people but it was the single worst decision I ever made. When my then girlfriend, now wife told me to drop out after i burst into tears about how miserable, hopeless and like a failure I felt when i realized i was never going it make it, it was one of the best things that has ever happened to me. A weight of shame was lifted from my shoulders and I could begin to wake up in the morning and begin to build a sense of pride in myself that I'd simply lost. I don't think about what life would have been like had she not been there at that moment. I had the same thoughts Linus had. Thank you Linus for putting a voice to the darkest time in my life, I hope others reading find the one for them.
Maybe it’s just me, but it really speaks to the companionship between Luke and Linus when he calls him out about if he went back to school. Bonds like that don’t form overnight but through many trials they faced together. Nothing but respect to the LMG family. You all worked hard and have come a long way. Cheers!
Yvonne is a a gift from the firmament for him. Most people go through their lives without someone so supportive in it. I can see her driving his success....and his happiness. God bless them both!
Yer one lucky guy. :D
This is so great! Also, Luke's comments here seem like he's a really, REALLY good friend to Linus. I love it! There's so much to like about LMG, and the relationships are definitely not the least of them!
Behind every great man is an even better woman
Yvonne is a legit unicorn of a human being. She's supportive, modivating, hard working, has a sense of humor, and is very pretty. She's a beautiful person, inside and out.
Like one whole Elon? Or multiple?
I love hearing about your past and how you came to be where you are today. It;s truly amazing that you've built such an empire in such a short time and kudos to you for sharing those who helped you get there including Yvonne and Luke.
I totally understand what you mean about school not being right for you, I think that is true for a lot of people in the tech business myself included, many of us are wired differently and often on the spectrum in some way. Even in my younger high school days I would consider myself, in the least egotistical way possible, to be pretty smart with technology and engineering, yet I failed almost every exam in school and college. Some people just aren't built for the classroom and fare much better with hands-on learning.
