 Oh, Sean. Oh, man. I can't wait to see what Jamie has got stewing. Oh I've got some farts. So stew in there. Okay Not actually No, I don't All right, so what am I gonna talk about this week? Well, first I'm gonna talk about You know, I have I have several friends that I know who are having difficulties in life You know, it's the same the same old thing the usual thing like not enough money because job this and you know Can't get the right job to get enough money to get ahead to blah blah blah blah blah and My response is always well, why don't you make up your own job? You know just become an entrepreneur it's you know, just do your own thing, you know make up make up your own job and You know, I'll go on to Explain some of the businesses I started and some of the crazy ideas I've done and even some of the things that that I never expected to make money doing like like these videos And I don't make a ton of money doing them, but I make some money on it And it was just like something I wanted to do for non monetary reasons And you know, I'll like I'll explain these experiences and share these experiences hoping to inspire some some kind of some kind of ideas of what they can do for themselves, but they It seems like they keep coming to sticking points Like there's a there's a mental block like I'll get these friends And this is all separate people don't know each other's all separate conversations, but it always goes the same way I'll get them to say like oh, yeah, that is a that is a good idea Entrepreneurial thing, you know doing your own thing and then they're like, okay What are the choices and I'm like there are no choices. It's not said you anything you want you make it up You know, you just did well, yeah But you know, I can't just I can just make I can't just make up anything and just be like well Just just I'm just gonna make up a business of give me money, you know I can't just do anything. It's like no, no, but you make it up There's no there are no rules like you use your imagination to come up with something Okay, yeah, I can use my imagination, but what are what are the what are the choices and it's like, oh There are no choices like you just come up with something, you know and This has been going on for years and I have friends who I Just I just feel I feel bad and I feel I feel like If if only I could get through to them and you know, oh, you know, I think I got it You know, maybe I could help them to just or maybe they could just get out of this holder in if they could just change this One little thing and get through this mental block But then I was thinking about it Why this mental block is there and it's something that's built up from childhood basically like we're we're born basically useless dependent on our parents for everything and As we start as we start growing We start to become more independent and start being able to do more things ourselves You know at first you can't do anything and then you can start feeding yourself and dressing yourself and you know kind of taking care of stuff You know your your basic every day brushing your teeth and whatever but But then that process kind of gets halted When you're about like four or five years old See that the process shouldn't be halted the process should continue You should keep becoming more and more independent and learning learning more about how to navigate life and how to How to do whatever you need to do to thrive not just not just scrape by not just not just survive but actually thrive right and This is something that should go on for another decade, but we go to school and in school We learn that Our parents who we've been dependent on all this time are now replaced by institutions So you don't actually learn how to become an independent person how to think for yourself and do for yourself and take care of yourself and you know Like deal with the world deal with life on your own and figure things out You don't you're not you're not taught to do that. In fact, we're taught not to do that We're taught that you may you get a job and you make money and you get a job in an institution Some some kind of institution and that becomes your your new parents and you're not gonna grow up You're not gonna become an adult you're gonna stay a child permanently and you will always rely on these institutions So that when you grow up and you need a job You go to these institutions and you start giving them papers and resumes and begging them for jobs and saying please please parents Please please help me But the thing is you don't need a job. What you need is food and Shelter and and all the all the things to first you need the basic things to survive, right? And then you need things like personal relationships and things that make life worth living right this like Like just the idea that I need a job and I need money that's That's been that's been hammered into us over and over in school for decades To the point where people think that the solution to all problems is money and a job But number one is money But you get the money if you're not super lucky you you have to work a job and then you get the money and then and then everything's better and like millions of millions of people are miserable doing this and It puts you in a position where you are completely dependent on these institutions to keep feeding you Keep feeding you this money and you have to you have to do these things that you would not normally do and this is this is one of the One of the keys to life I think in Dealing with with money and figuring out what money is and and how it works and how it affects your life and all this And how how to deal with with the existence of money One of the most important things is to look at yourself look at your life and say Would I be doing this if I wasn't being paid? And if if if like most of the stuff you're doing in your life, you're only doing because you're being paid That's just really sad. It's just really sad, you know It's like it's like you've you've just become this slave Who's just doing what you don't want to do because if you take the money away? You're just doing things you don't want to do you're only doing it because the money's there But if the money wasn't there and you just look at what's happening. It's like you're just Running this treadmill endlessly doing things you don't want to do so that one day you can retire and do whatever you want When you're too old to enjoy it, right? so It's it's like we've got this whole this whole civilization That has been convinced to not grow up and the only time people grow up and I can I can tell you this from myself The only time people people actually grow up is when they get in a difficult enough situation that they are forced To realize That they can't rely on those institutions or those governments or businesses those Corporations all that stuff you can't you can't rely on that's not going to save you got to take care of yourself and I realized this kind of like At the beginning of you of university and I stuck it out and I finished university Although I didn't really attend classes or whatever. I did finish But you need a drink All right there I got it I got to shine my light for my daughter to go get a drink anyway There was a there was some point when I was doing university Right at the beginning where I was like this is not going well This is not going to be any kind of life. I want to do none of this leads anywhere good So I just started feeling like I had to do things for myself So I started making little businesses when I was at school and then when I graduated from school and You know, it's basically like okay go out into the world and do your thing I already knew I could not stomach any of the any of the jobs that I'd been set up to be able to do by this University education basically the paper that says I'll do whatever I'm told are you done Okay So I got to a situation where I Didn't really have a choice. I had to figure it out myself and the funny thing is Once I started Making up my own businesses is just deciding that I had to do everything myself and I couldn't rely on on institutions for anything I I got to a point very quickly where I couldn't I couldn't see myself doing anything else and that's the thing about About becoming an entrepreneur Once you start doing it once you start relying on yourself for for your own livelihood and for the things that will Make you thrive in life once you rely once you start relying on yourself you realize That everything before all this stuff about relying on these institutions All it was was forcing you To stay a child as long as they could make you because as long as long as you stay a child You're controllable. You'll do whatever you're told you'll you'll buy the thing and and you'll waste the money and you'll waste your time for people and you do whatever people say because You're not you're not responsible for anything because you're because you're being a child But once you once you actually break through that that mental block that's been like hammered into our heads And and really start doing things for yourself and really relying on yourself There's no going back. I mean, I couldn't I couldn't imagine working for some some business sitting in some cubicle or Doing something that I wouldn't want to do unless I was being paid Yeah, I'm not saying there's there are no things that I would ever want to do. Yeah, there might be some things But just just knowing that even if I have a job I can always fall back on myself even if I get a job somewhere doing like I don't know. It doesn't matter like logging or something and I don't know why I came up with that because I've been cutting a lot of wood lately Anyway, they get some job logging. I would I would never rely on that job. I always know that This this is temporary. I'm only here as long as this business wants me And you know, I'll take advantage of what's of what they're offering I'll I'll save the money help help to get ahead or whatever But I know that at any point in time That could disappear or I could decide that you know, I can't I can't stomach what they're doing because there's something immoral or whatever and Being able to let go of that Makes it so you're not you're not trapped because a lot of people when even when they get into a job They'll get into a job they hate and they they feel like they can't do anything else because if they lose that job, it's like I'm screwed if I lose this job I'm barely scraping by but the thing is if you're in a situation where you're barely scraping by That's not valuable. You shouldn't be holding on to that. You should be trying to figure out something else and Figuring out any kind of business or or or thing that you can do for yourself Is something I would highly recommend to anyone who's never done it because it is it's an experience that that change You know, people say this horrible cliched thing of you know, it's a game changer Oh, I hate when people say that but this is one of those things that literally is a game changer It changes the game it changes the rules Because once you stop once you stop relying on those institutions and being dependent completely on those all those institutions Suddenly a lot of rules disappear like a ton of rules just disappear And you're open to do so many more things that you couldn't do before And the difficult part about it is that Succeed or fail. It's your fault um Which is something that I don't know. It's it's like something that we're We're again, we're trained from a very young age to not want to be in that position where we're responsible for something But um, you should be responsible for that. You should be responsible for yourself You should be able to to take on challenges and take risks and say this is this is my decision Regardless of what anyone else thinks I I want to give this a try and see how it goes and maybe it works and maybe it doesn't But that's you need to be fine with that, you know, if you're if you're not willing to accept Your own failure you you're you're incredibly limited in what you can do. You can only do things where you know, you'll succeed And that brings you back to the institutions hide under the hide hide behind mommy's skirt and hide in the institution Make sure you you know, you get a regular paycheck and all that and you can't fail you know as long as you show up you punch your time card you've succeeded and um It's it's no way to live. It's just it's just going around in a circle over and over and over To actually take take charge of your own life and to actually grow up and and become an adult like a real adult Not just not just an old person But like a real adult who's responsible for themselves and self-sufficient can handle things and can deal with the world It can deal with people and can solve problems and like like to become the kind of person where the buck stops here You know, there's I'm not I don't pass things on to anyone else Like if this is this is where stops I take care of it to become that person You have to be able to take the risk of failure And if you if you can't do that you can't grow up You got to be able to you got to be able to risk failure to to grow up and to learn and to become a more amazing person and uh It's a really difficult message to explain to people But anyway, I just tried to say it here So you want to know what else is going on like just things that are going on around here. I'm itchy. Why am I itchy? It's because Right here. I'm itchy my ears were also itchy earlier, but I I I washed them really good with this scrubby soap So I'm digging up behind my house an area and it's near a mango tree And mango trees are related to poison ivy Now the mango tree is not nearly as bad as poison ivy, but it it's It's unpleasant, you know I mean, it's like maybe five percent maybe ten percent as bad as poison ivy Um, but yeah, if you're digging in a in a spot where there's mango tree roots there's going to be mango tree sap and You know if you pick up blocks of dirt or anything it gets on your hands And then if you brush a bug off your ear then your ear is going to be itchy for the next Three days until you just scrub it really good and get the stuff Anyway Yeah anyway I've also started building my second floor and if there was light out, I would show you but it's it's all dark and I'm making videos of all this stuff. Don't worry but uh today I started cutting wood on my lumber mill. So I've been over the last few weeks like a couple days a week I'll go out and go to the jungle and use my chainsaw to cut some boards, you know, I've made some videos about this Uh, but I'm just cutting like slabs of wood so they're You know, they're one thickness here, but the the width is not defined It's just like as as wide as I can make it and then I was I've carried a bunch of them over here. Maybe a quarter of what I've cut. So it's It's a lot of wood, but it's there's still a lot left um But I've been piling up piling it up in my house and today the sun came out And for about an hour, I had blazing sun, which means I can run my lumber mill and I started carrying boards up there So do I call them boards if they're not really cut to width yet? Anyway boards I took boards up there and cut them to width to widths either eight inches or six inches otherwise known as imperial noodle units um And I built the first section of my second floor without the floorboards on it Um, I'm pretty excited about that though. I was standing up there and man The view was amazing. Um, you know, the view is just looking down on all the clutter of my house Of all this stuff that's going to go up on the second and the third floors, but still the view was amazing um Oh, it's going to be so good to get a few of those Sections up like even even just like a quarter of the second floor up I'll be able to take some of the stuff from down here and put it up. So that'll be great. Um Also I've been playing with my 3d printer a lot this This is the latest thing I've been working on Uh, which is lego tank treads In your world because you know lego has tank treads and they're kind of cool But they break easily and they come apart and you know anyone who's who's played with lego a lot And who's used to tank treads know they come apart easily and I would you know, I would always wonder Why don't they just make them better? and so I took all the ideas that I had when I was a kid and hold on trying to look at this to figure out which way it opens Oh, yeah, so, um These are very strong. They're super strong And they're like pretty rigid like it's it's a strong thing But you can open them if you turn it at 90 degrees and then wait, which direction was it? this direction Yeah, you turn them at 90 degrees to each other and they they come apart pretty easily And then go back together and then once they're not at 90 degrees Man, those things are solid And I still have to I still have to print out the wheels Um But you know, I'm going to put all this stuff on on Thingiverse I've been putting I've been putting things up on Thingiverse. What was it the other day? I put up, uh a little wind up motor lego motor thing and uh Yeah, it's just it's just super cool to have a 3d printer that it's like It's so good. I'm so impressed with this 3d printer. It's a so-of-all SV06 and I have no affiliation with the company. They didn't Send me a free one or anything. You know, I bought it. I'm just I'm just super impressed with it So if anyone if anyone wants a 3d printer highly I highly recommend a so-of-all SV06 it was only 200 bucks, too Man, I got I'm I'm starting to wonder what like the $1,500 ones do like what what what the hell are they doing? They must be amazing if this $200 one is this good Um, what else is happening? Yeah, I guess that's that's mostly it, you know Carrying all the all that wood out of the jungle. That was it was a lot of work um I can carry one board out of the jungle every 15 or 20 minutes on average uh And that's partly because the tide has been really low during the day So I can't get my boat right in so I have to carry them a little further But it's like, you know, it's like a quarter mile even from the good parking spot to where I cut the boards and they're heavy it's like Yeah, like if I carry well one day I carried 14 boards out of there And it was about 500 meters walk each way so That's like seven kilometers So yeah, imagine like piggybacking someone for like seven kilometers because the boards are like one to 200 pounds depending on that There were there were a few that were 200 pounds man. Those ones are Those ones are hard to move But yeah, imagine piggybacking someone for seven kilometers and then you got to walk walk back seven kilometers, too You know, it's a lot of work. Anyway, um All right, let's let's see what you guys are talking about. I've been rambling on long enough here Oh, man, I can't oh for anyone who's new here who doesn't know how this works Usually when I do these lives I'll do some kind of monologue and they know talk a little bit about what's going on and that usually takes like 15 or 20 minutes And that's enough time for some comments to pile up a little and then I start reading through them So I'm always at the beginning. I'm always like 20 minutes behind on the comments But then at some point like an hour later, I'll I'll or two I'll catch up to the comments and then that's kind of, you know, when I'm finished basically So let's see what the comments are doing Uh, hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hey bud wishing you the very best. Thanks, man. Yo, Jamie. Hello. Hello guys. Hello to everyone Uh late to the party greenhouses are ready. They wait what? Greenhouses are ready, baby. What what greenhouses? I strapped two kayaks together with pvc today kayak kayak amaran. Dude, that's great. Um stewing on the education system. I see Is there pressure to send your kids to school? Why are you frustrated about this today? I didn't say I was frustrated about it. This is something that actually happens a lot like I'll I'll talk about something in a video and people will say why are you so upset about this? Why is this so frustrating for you right now? What's what happened? Nothing happened. It's just something to talk about because it's it's a problem. This is nothing nothing particular happened um, it's just well, I guess what happened is And this didn't even happen today or anything. It's just, you know, something that's been going on for a long time It's I have I have friends Who are stuck in this in this in this mindset that they have to rely on institutions to get a job and money and blah blah blah But yeah, nothing has happened. My kids are not being I'm not being in any way pressure to send them to schools or anything Oh, yeah, and uh, I'm late today because It's a you know a bit of a chain effect of an airplane landing late in town I wasn't in town or anything but um There was just a chain reaction and a whole bunch of things happened that ended up Being later than they were originally and blah blah blah And we ended up eating dinner after dark here, which isn't that unusual, but it was a while after dark uh, anyway I have mr. Landfill uh sending out my links to my website and and my thingiverse so very good very good Yeah, I'll I'll put my my lego tank tank tracks on thingiverse after after I you know draw some wheels to go in this and uh Yeah, and make some cool stuff and make sure it works and everything I kind of want to put the the tank treads on my little wind up car and see see if I can get Get it kind of driving along wind up style It's kind of hard to make a wind up motor a good wind up motor out of plastic Because usually wind up motors they have like a steel spring and the steel is real thin So you can have it wound around a lot of time so you can crank it a lot But with this with a plastic spring it's thicker so it takes up a lot of a lot more space So you can't get nearly as many winds Anyway, uh, let's see Send me an I found you from yeah, let's show on tv in the uk Uh jack Fisher says completely agree sitting in a cubicle sounds like torture to me I much prefer manual labor and self-employment. Yeah, man. Once you Once and I keep trying to explain this to my to my friends who are who are having difficulties and they're and they're stuck like once you figure out How to how to make your own job how to be an entrepreneur how to do it yourself It's just life is a completely different thing. It's Like yes, you are taking on the risks, but you also Gain all the freedom So you you get so much more More say in in the direction of your life You know, whereas If you're just working for money doing whatever you're you have to do whatever they say um Three stories of stuff all on the first floor. Yeah Uh, love lego tank trade. Thanks, man What if you make a jig with one bike wheel you could roll your board easier Oh If I make a jig with one bike wheel I could roll my board easier like to get the boards out of the jungle Well, the the tricky thing is It's not on even ground at all. So what I've what I've been doing And I do want to make a path into there at some point like a like a concrete kind of sidewalk little road thing But right now it is not there So and there there are big logs on the path that I have to step over That I just don't have time to cut out because I just need to get I'm busy, man So what I've been doing is I'll I'll stand the log straight up and stand in front of it and just get it On my back and then lean forward until I get it off the ground and then just start walking like that and you know It's not the most comfortable But I I found this this kind of foam thing that I put on the on the back of my Like the top of my back here for it to rest on there. So it's not like pushing on my neck so much Um, and that works well. It's tiring I did also make A really simple thing that's just like an axle with a pair of big pair of wheels on the ends You know with bearings and everything so I can strap a board onto the axle And then grab the other end of the board and you know pull it along But I took it with me on the boat and I was like, all right, if I get a board That's too heavy for me to move I'll put it on the wheels But uh, I managed to move the heaviest boards It was not easy, but I but I did and the thing is with the wheels as I was walking back Back and forth on the path. I kept thinking okay when I get to this part with the wheels I'm gonna have to stop and lift everything over that then when I get to this part. It's gonna be an uphill And I might just have to pick up the thing anyway because it's pretty steep uphill, you know And I was just like let me just let me just carry this stuff But at some point in the future I do want to have like a nice path Where I can put something on wheels and you know wheel heavy things in and out Which will be great. That'll be a huge a huge boost to productivity, but Yeah, right now. I just I just really want to get the second floor done So I'm I'm putting all that stuff aside and just going straight to the second floor New floor second level outstanding great moving forward awesome job. Well, thank you What's that a 2z? Oh, that's um Will all floors Will all floors be complete or will you be able to see All the way down from upper floors. Well, the floors will be complete But you mean will they cover the whole thing? Uh, the second floor is just going to be around the outside. There's going to be a big hole in the middle Um, and then the third floor will be solid floor all the way across and I think I want to have it so when you're up on the third floor it is actually solid floor the whole way across so All the entries up to the third floor. I want to have You know doors that open In the floor so you can go up there close the doors And when everything's closed you just you've just got solid floor big big open solid floor No pillars in the middle or anything because it's got a dome roof. So it doesn't need supports in the middle That's going to be cool. There's going to be lots of frisbee. I think and basketball and volleyball and and things like that Sean McGuire is a big fan of being your own boss. Yeah, be once you're once you are your own boss It's hard to imagine Letting anyone else be your boss after that once you once you figure it out and it really is like It's like it's like growing up. It's like becoming an adult And and then to go back to working for someone else Like at this point to me it would feel like I was just Becoming a child like Like oh now now i'm not i'm not Enough of an adult to to manage my own life. I have to do what what you say, okay? Yeah, once you once you get hold of your own life and you start figuring out There's there's no way to go back. You can't you can't go back It's too good compared to the other the other alternative um I noticed Uh Yeah, so I was on this tv show a while ago. Um, I didn't think it was very good um And there was there was a lot of uh What's the word? kind of like Passive aggressiveness and I don't know someone was just asking me something about something. I don't I don't feel like any Anyway Arc's mechanical what's going on man. Hey there. Good to see you. Wow. I'm already at the end of comments That usually doesn't happen this quickly. Maybe it's because my uh my life today was super late and everyone went to bed But um, yeah if anyone if anyone has any Questions or comments or anything you think I should talk about Put a comment down here. Otherwise in a minute. I'm gonna take off and Go see what my kids are doing. I left them. I left them watching a movie while I came and did this I'm pretty sure it's not over yet um Oh, you know what? Let me reload the chat just to see if I missed anything. Okay. No looks like I'm at the end of the end of comments and No one else has anything important to say right now. So I'm gonna take off And I hope everyone has an excellent evening or morning or whatever you have wherever you are and uh Yeah, I'm looking forward to to working on my second floor more tomorrow. Mr. Landfill be safe Jack have a good one. You too, man All right, I'm out of here. Here's the button. Oh, they put it on the other side. Yep Uh later mic
