I Owe Yvonne Everything.

have you never met yvonne do you think lmg would still exist or have been successful no no it wouldn't have existed it was uh based on yvonne's i owe her everything and i mean that in not like uh like a cheesy way in like a literal way um i was i was very depressed um around the time that i met her i was doing a job that was destroying me it was it was sucking the soul out of me um i was in school which was not compatible with me at least young me i maybe i would have done better if i had gone back later thanks for that no problem yvonne rescued me from both of them she was the push i needed to go against what my family wanted and drop out of school and start my job at the computer store so that was first of all i exist today thanks yvonne number two i'm i mean i'm not saying i would have killed myself but it was a thought and maybe something else would have pushed me over the edge i don't know and and to be clear because i think some people might not get this i think you got it my comment about you not doing better at school wasn't because i think you're dumb you're not made for that i really don't think i'm made for it yeah like it's just i love to learn yes not in that environment on my terms yeah yeah yeah yeah you're not made for that it would not have gone well it's just yeah so she got me out of school she got me out of a job i hated into an industry that i loved then when it was time to make the decision to leave ncix and set out on my own i used the word on my own extremely loosely here because it was it was on my own but with like serious backup you know what i mean you know those um um uh you know what it doesn't it doesn't come to mind in a way that's eloquent but the point is that the only reason i was able to start linus media group was that yvonne with her job at the pharmacy was taking her pharmacy paychecks and writing them out to luke and ed and our operating costs that was it we were literally just paying luke and ed out of yvonne's pharmac pharmacist salary i also had the confidence to set out on my own because i knew that no matter what happened we wouldn't be unable to pay the mortgage right we wouldn't lose our home which was really important because we had a small child right we had our our infant son so loud boy yeah so yvonne in the early days in particular was working to generate the capital we needed to run the business day-to-day raising our child because i was raising our other child minus media group incorporated and doing all of our finances and accounting and like negotiations with um all of our business administration stuff like getting business licenses and insurance and all that kind of stuff so she was literally working three jobs uh while she was while she was also taking care of you know the man child that she married for some reason that was a very motivating house i remember when i when i stayed up for like three days or whatever and had just like peanut butter and crackers and tested the 700 series graphics cards yeah and it felt like not necessarily more than what was happening in the rest of the house i was like this is crazy so if i had somehow managed to start lmg like if i had lucked my way into working at ncix starting the youtube channel and and setting out on my actual own would it have been as successful the answer is no yvonne has pushed me at every stage to be more organized to take a more structured approach to build the business properly and do it responsibly thanks for watching and thanks to seeker lab for sponsoring this week's clips secret lab chairs are engineered to keep you comfy and with up to five years of warranty and a 49 day return policy you're covered if anything goes wrong head the link in the description to get your secret lab chair today
