It's funny how he took off 6 months to go hiking, but most people can't find 30 minutes to watch this video ...

@mksr92 Look i've never had a joint in my life and my family is far from hippie staus. I'm just saying some people find a fulfillment through other things than working. I can't answer your question exactly but if you were listening you may have noticed he mentioned that he has Wall Street skills.

@danika94xx Hippie Bullshit! Again, what does he do for a living?

[danika94xx]

@mksr92 @mksr92 He just lives life with a greater meaning that many of us will never have a chance to experience. Who wants, or even needs, a job really. The whole "we work so we can live, and live to work" mentality is extremely pointless in my opinion.
