Thanks, Christian! 😊 It’s awesome that you’re using the Quest 3 for both work and play. I agree-immersive experiences are where VR really shines, especially for connecting with others remotely. I have to say, I was absolutely blown away by watching movies and videos on the Apple Vision Pro. It's not the most productive use, of course, but it’s such a fun and immersive experience. It really adds a whole new dimension to entertainment! Looking ahead, I’m convinced as you are that this is the future of work. Once we overcome some of the current friction-like carrying another device and the price-we're on the brink of a new era of collaboration and productivity that I’m really excited about. What’s been your favourite use case so far? I’d love to hear more about how it’s fitting into your routine!

So true - same with everything... AI for example... its a great tool but you still need to ask the right questions! Agree 100%

Thank you 🙏🏼 🤩

That is fantastic. Would love to hear the full story to be honest so please reach out! - I’m sure it’s inspirational for generations to come.

Glad it was helpful!

I think the market will expand eventually but for now I do agree - it’s a good basis for a product though and can only recommend to test it out in store. I’m sure we will see a much more useful and refined version in a couple of years.

Awesome, thank you! - lovely to have you on board our growing community! Make sure to let me know any questions along the way so we can share our experiences.

Welcome aboard! - this time we had the benefit of time in Europe … and the software has been a lot better than on day 1 in the US. But still way to go 👍🏼

Too Early. I just hope there is enough early adopters so they keep developing the device

@ElectricVRoom I agree with you! But given the amount spent to date and also Tim wanting to leave a legacy I think we’re pretty safe to assume it’ll continue.

Absolutely - that remains true whatever time we live in, something that I think is out of reach of AI - for now...

Couldn't say it better 👏🏼 I love using Chat GPT as a sounding board, too, yet we still have to use our brain... its a no-brainer (pun intended 🤷🏻‍♂️)

Thank you!

I really appreciate your comment and feedback. Too often we move on from things we don't like 100% but you took a step to help fix it. Thank you and I will take on board your comments on music choice and mood. After all learning and creating success on our terms includes listening to well meant feedback!

You found this valuable and KZbin has shown it to you … so there’s a win! 👏🏼- glad you enjoyed it!

Hello Ember! Indeed using my location and the drone is a great way to keep content fresh - also for myself! :) And thanks for the sentiment. Don't get me wrong, I loved my dad very much and believe he contributed a lot to whom I have become today even though I would certainly adjust a few things for my own family. I love your determination by the way - it often takes time on youtube to find the sweet spot but you're super active and experimenting so I know it comes to fruition sooner than later!

@@KaiDLeifert That's great! 😄 My hubby and I got a drone about a year ago, but can hardly fly it anywhere because of so many laws! Is it hard to find places you can fly it in Bali? And yes, I totally understand about how we can be both forever grateful to our parents but also need to grow beyond their limits at the same time. And thank you so so much for your kind words and encouragement! That means a lot! I often get discouraged but I am practicing patience and perseverance.

Its normal to question ourselves but you are moving forward and I love your journey! As for Bali, its very relaxed here and you have many people flying drones, as long as you are away from crowds you are perfectly fine. So the two of you should definitely visit - we have a spare bedroom! ;) Just reach out privately.

@@KaiDLeifert Wow! That is an amazing offer! Not going to lie, spending time in Indonesia has actually been on our radar! If we ever make it happen, I will definitely reach out to you! Thank you!

Thanks for the kind words IRSSYY! Appreciate it.

Thank you. appreciate the positive vibes 🙏🏼

Welcome to our group! Feel free to ask what you most seek in your career or how we can align it better with our lives. Always happy to consider what you like to see!

I fully agree that’s it is up to us to define - and redefine - success! I’m glad you’re finding fulfilment in what you do right now 👏🏼

@@KaiDLeifert The truth is job promotions mean nothing to me, only helping people.

I agree - it’s not an easy journey but one well worth doing because at the end of the day our goals only get us started on the journey but our values and attitude make the journey itself fulfilling. Will certainly continue to observe your journey into the future!

@@KaiDLeifert That's a very important point. I'd assume the integrity of our values make a big difference in outcomes. I am still working on my attitude haha! (I tend to get very dark and depressed) Mindset is everything.

@Freedom_Flare in my experience values makes the difference between a one off outcome and genuine sustainability of a change in our life

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you so much and glad it helps!

First of all, thank yoiu for your comment and positive feedback. Glad you enjoyed it. And second, Yes, I am always looking for feedback. I do think you are right, I noticed after the upload that some parts of the music were quite loud and I tuned it down for newer videos plus there are some better tracks. So very glad you point it out as it reinforces the message and direction. Thank you!

I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Welcome to our lovely community. 🙏🏼

Thank you so much Tosca - it’s not just me encouraging here on the channel but people like yourself, who with their own experience and comments contribute so much to this little - and as you said - growing group. I’m very grateful for that. Thank you.

Well said. I'm still trying to find my calling\passion.

Even if you’re still searching, don’t wait! Just start. Sometimes our calling doesn’t come when we seek but when we engage in something new. Wishing you the best!

@@KaiDLeifert thank you sir

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for your support 🙏🏼

I am so happy that you find some of my videos useful! You are right, many of the things we see and do are common sense but in some corporate environments that remains hard to achieve. However, as we strive to better ourselves we are able to formulate success on our own terms. And if we do this collectively, our environment changes for the better, too! I really appreciate your feedback, thank you!

@@KaiDLeifert yes really great content you have in your channel. You provide a different perspective and insights from most of the self improvement and productivity videos out there. Perhaps because you have led the unconventional life and do not stick to playing safe in life that led to these gems of wisdom. Please keep up the good work and I hope your videos would get recommended more to benefit more people.

Thank you!. Slowly but surely and I am grateful for everyone with the courage to follow their own path and dreams :)

I suggest that we as people shape and form our environment. Whilst there are certainly traits that are unhelpful, there are many who contribute positively. In many cases we are thus able to create a positive work culture too 💪🏼

Getcha Kaffee Mike! It’s where my best ideas come

Thank you for this insightful question! You're spot on-sales skills really do play a crucial role in climbing the corporate ladder and securing those top-tier positions. It's true, many leaders you'll find in high-earning roles have a knack for selling not just their products, but their visions and themselves as well. Now, I'll be the first to admit that sales and marketing haven't always been my forte-it's an area I've had my challenges with too! However, I've found incredible value in "Building a StoryBrand" by Donald Miller. This book does a fantastic job of breaking down the core principles of effective communication in a way that's both engaging and easy to grasp. It helped me a lot, and I believe it can offer you some golden nuggets to apply in your role as a design and site engineer, especially when dealing with clients and consultants. And speaking of books, I think it's about time I start including a "recommended reading" section in my videos-just kidding! But, who knows, maybe it’s not such a bad idea after all! 😉 Thanks again for your question. Keep pushing boundaries and exploring new ways to blend your technical expertise with the art of selling. Here's to your continued success!

@@KaiDLeifert It means a lot 😊 I've got what i needed ! Thanks a Ton. Would love to see you making videos or book recommendations around such topics.

I’ve been toying with the idea of some books reviews so definitely not ruling it out! Thanks for the feedback, appreciate it.

You are welcome and thanks for watching!

😆 you’re welcome

Thank you Luisa - appreciate the compliment. And yes, Its definitely close to my dream home :)

Thank you 🙏🏼 love your support

This made my day 😁!! I’ll certainly add some ‘Bamsu’ story into the next recording … but he started out to be an “ATC (air traffic controller) badger” from an air show , yet graduated through the acquisition of his fancy new jacket to pilot, managing director, owner of Nosebook, which is the badgers social network and many more things. Oh - and he’s two weeks old … every since 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hello Mohib - thanks ever so much for your support. I don’t have specific book recommendations beyond what I shared with you in the last video on this one. What I would say is : trust is never built fast. It does take time - so consistency, delivering on promises and an ability to think strategically is what will put you apart from the rest.

Glad you think so! Thank you! ☺️

You’re welcome!

Thank you for your support!

As always Tosca, love your support and yes I’m very happy in the environment, especially now that we moved home to our own place.

You are very welcome - absolutely delighted that you got some inspiration from this and I know you got this in 2024!

First of all, your question around a strategic approach for work relationships resonates with me. I feel that this topic is worth its own video and I will put this on my list! Thank you!! Personally I had some great work relationships that stayed completely professional and a few (very few!) that lasted long before our professional paths parted. I don't think there is a one size fits all but it depends on how you wish to integrate your work with the rest of your lifestyle. Again - great content for an upcoming video! And finally, books. There are so many resources these days and I find it hard to pick a favorite. So let me go with a couple of choices that are probably not mainstream. Both of them are not purely about relationships with others but then I beleive that growing as individuals will also determine who we interact with. I highly recommend "Lost Connections" by Johann Hari for its profound analysis of human interactions and "Not a Life Coach" by James Smith. Both of those books resonated with my personal values but even if you disagree with the authors you will learn quite a bit!. Thanks so much for your inspiration and support!

@@KaiDLeifert Glad to see you find it worth making a video around this topic 😊 it means a lot !! Thanks for the insights, book recommendations 📒 and clarity about the whole subject.

I do think that assuming responsibilities beyond your current job is indeed a good way to get promoted. Whether there is a "grudge" by promoting someone may be different from company to company - but in my experience any promotion has to be justified by the person recommending the promotion (usually the manager) and it usually also reflects positive on them so there are some good incentives at play. Personally, I was always ecstatic when I was able to promote someone internally in my years at Finance but I appreciate that the culture can be different everywhere.

Thank you
