Steve should pin this comment.

[@iCanonKiD]

Thank you so much!

[@mse312]

Your videos are so different from majority of youtube content. I dont know how to explain it but they feel so genuine and straight to the point

[@ovflowd]

Seeing my employer sponsoring A Life Engineered. What a time to be alive.

[@iohin]

Loved reading Disrupted: My Misadventure in the Start-Up Bubble Book by Daniel Lyons! ❤️

[@indianfyre]

Hook up the Hubspot referrals then...😅

[@ThisIsntmyrealnameGoogle]

"I actually worked on the first kindle for amazon" out of no where is the coolest flex I've seen in a long time

[@cloudwithraj]

#27 is so true, we must celebrate success before next life stressor comes, and #28 is the reason a good mechanical watch is worth getting over quartz. Good one Steve 🙌

[@eowynMR]

Steve, thanks for advices! This video resonates with me. I'm in my second half of the 30th and for lots of tips I was "so true!" especially about music from your 20th - lol. Like I listen to new music, but hearing music from my late teens, early 20s makes me so nostalgic!

[@KevinNaughtonJr]

[@dthx2710]

2nd week into my first job, #16 really struck a chord in me as I was struggling with unrealistic expectations for myself plus the fear of letting others down Thanks again for the great advices

[@yang5843]

The sunscreen tip is underrated, protect your skin!

[@tobaadesanya32]

Haha! 😂 Love the browser bookmark jab! I'm 28 and I felt that. Lol! 😅

[@peter11256]

You are awesome, Steve. Please keep on pumping this golden content.

[@DebanjanSaha-i3b]

Man, I love your content. Keep doing what you do. Best.

[@s.sviatoslav]

Watching this in my 30s really resonates with me! Some of the advice I’ve come across before but didn’t take seriously at the time, while other insights are brand new to me. Either way, I’m so grateful for this, and I truly believe it’s going to make a positive impact on my future. Thanks for sharing!

[@jhors7777]

Thanks so much, Steve. Great content and great channel.

[@JeffSu]

1:58 - So that's why I was the manual labor in helping you setup your studio... 😏. Loving the setup Steve!!!

[@shrutipandey8696]

Haha, Steve's back thanks you. I guess :p

[@kingkaixyz]

Steve, your videos always bring some peace and clarity to my life when it's really rough. Really appreciate the good content you put out and I hope you know how much it helps.

[@harisha.g4792]

I was really seeking for such an advice since a while and I am so happy, grateful that you posted it! I can already relate to many things!!

Wonderful video, great lessons

[@oscarleon3008]

Great advice, thank you for posting this.

[@obesechicken13]

Here's mine: get tested for adhd. You may not have it but if you do you can make strategies around it including medication

[@AhBoyInUSA]

I’m in my mid 30s and some of these are hitting me hard. “Don’t be people pleaser” is so true when you realize not everyone at work will like you, you just need to stay true to yourself

[@gabrielfono844]

I really love your content. As self taught developer and someone who worked super hard to get there , your tips and tricks are very valuable to me. I appreciate.

[@obinyanraphael6182]

I Love the fact that there was no mombojombo intro to this video! and I repreat, I love the fact that there was no intro in this video

[@thejumpingtoad3167]

What watch are you wearing? Looks nice

[@yongnianzheng6078]

I'm 27 and it's really helpful. Thank you

[@xthaone]

Agree with the Seattle Freeze lol. I grew up in WA state my whole life before moving to Seattle for college and work, but I often see transplants struggle to make friends and give a bad word about Seattle.

[@MarcusSanatan]

As a 30+ engineer, thanks man. Really appreciated this vid 🙏

[@therealraymondjones]

[@edanparker9273]

thanks uncle Steve

[@NICKASMRCINCINNATI]

About 21 quarter life transition, its a bit shortsighted. You will have been idealistic and productive for a little bit. Dont forget to play, it will encourage imagination, connections between ideas, unique solutions, humor and you will be interesting to gain more friends

[@MrPejotah]

Amazing.

[@iohin]

2:20 there is a 42% divorce rate in they US. When you are recommending to embrace change are you recommending to embrace both the marriage and the divorce? Thanks!

[@2rx_bni]

Sam's Club has LEGO btw :P

Is that a Fern chair you're sitting on? How is it? I'm in a search of a new chair.

Can we get 20 things you wish you knew in your 20s??

[@333jjjjjj]

Are many people really having aches and pains in their 30s? I'm in my early 40s and haven't had such issues.

Great advices, except sunscreen and moisturizer, all you need is nutrition and vitamin-D from sun for optimal health. Don’t let the companies trick you. Great video though 😊

Controlling emotions is a terrible advice, this leads to a depression. You should resolve emotions.
