Be a nerd with Greg James - how DID he get on Radio 1?

[@ashimpokhrel7576]

I am binge-watching all his videos and I must say this man is smart, talented and confident. The way he carries his personality is remarkable. The contents on his show are engaging, fluent and spontaneous. I can literally listen and watch him all day. This is one of the brilliant sessions I have watched. Love from Nepal

[@emeliarees6256]

I love Greg James

[@fcb1693]

This was five years and I still watch it on a regular basis, it always motivates me Greg, it always shows me what's really important, those 7 minutes probably helped me the most in my life, also your show Greg, listen to the podcast everyday, love you, your are the one who keeps me going and obviously the radio 1 family as well, thank you❤️

[@Marlon-sw4nw]

love his morning show

[@adderz8619]

I come back to this once a year for a reminder. I was at the SRA Con this week (I’m in my final uni year but it was my first time ever going there) and I’ve been so inspired! Greg James has been my favourite presenter for years now, I really think he’s spot on with everything and has a cracking sense of humour. This is a lovely video and one I hope I can channel!

[@ashleycameron9046]

I want to be a radio presenter in the future and I really look up you you as an inspiration. Everything you have just said is exactly what I wanted and needed to hear. Thank you so much for sharing your story as it tells me that I can just go for what I want and I don't need to think about others. Thank you for everything you have done and I'll continue to listen to you on the radio as always X .

This was brilliant.

The entire time I just spend watching Gren trying to adjust the cards in his hand.

[@HannahDorman]

Very inspiring words! I've always said the same about being a musician and the creative industry, there's no set path like being a doctor, just gotta be ready for everything that comes your way! Thanks Greg x

[@andrewstanford639]

[@CarolinMader]

I love, love, love Greg James...

[@MikhailKondratyev1966]

Greg, thank you for your work dj-host The Official UK Top 40 Charts on BBC Radio1!

[@thedivinemusiciansbestfrie2541]

Really inspirational talk. I don't even know who he is. I'm not from the UK. I was just bouncing around You Tube. I'm glad I saw this. I even took notes. :)

[@joeym6658]

Thanks for all the inspiration Greg!! ❤

[@Adamjfooty99]

Thank you Greg! Great advice and I'll 100% take it all on board!

[@drimbesatsyed]

Quitely confident! He has so much of wisdom!

[@jordydick1]

how can you not like the guy. boys a legend

[@jawsmayobanico]

Greg James is perfect for me 💖 Smart, funny, talented. What more could you ask for?

[@sarahlund3872]

You forgot to mention how gorgeous he is!! :P

[@ShinjukuSensei]

Spot on mate! Agree with everything. Immerse yourself, do what you need to do, focus on you, and get there. Enjoy the journey. Thats what its about. Not the final destination.

[@pelss7426]

Very inspirational.

[@GregTechnology]

Huh. I've been listening to Greg James for years. I think he's great, but I'd never seen a picture of him. In my mind's eye, he's always been a shaggy, teenage, Noel-Fielding-looking, scruffbag. I'm somewhat shaken to find out that he's A, my age, and B, well groomed. Look at him. He looks like an angel. Like he could be launching sillicon-valley-based-homelessness-charities. What a national treasure ♥

[@EdwardMuldrewTech]

Fantastic talk Greg!

[@Danielevans2]

LOVE THIS! try reducing the speed of the frame rate so the screens don't flicker

[@rachellius8921]

Greg James is bae 💜

[@aniram47]

Inspiring! Thank you!

[@latoyatangelo]

He is good looking!

[@inessamaria2428]

Great speech

[@nuttall67]

I can relate to a lot of what Greg is saying, just my problem is, I really don't know what it is I want to do!? I hate it, I'm willing to put the work in, i'm not afraid of hard work a tall, but I just don't know what it is that I want do.. Any advice on that aspect?

[@H.J.G]

Ed Nuttall did you find out what it is you want to do?

[@gabriellajessup]

I think find a list of things that make you happy and spend time doing those things - or apply for work experience - or speak to people that do things that you think you might love and from there you should gain a basic idea of the things that bring you fulfilment. I hope you find the things you love and know that you have time to love more than one thing.

[@2119chris]

Cheers for that!

[@Brendonmakesmesmile]

I was there!

[@shubhamsharma-wi9by]

I also want to work for the BBC in the UK! But I'm from Germany, so it is not very likely to happen...

[@ShinjukuSensei]

+SabrinaBina Then you have to move to London!

[@sabrinaonline9108]

+ShinjukuSensei I will. That's my dream since I was 12 :D

[@ShinjukuSensei]

+SabrinaBina Awesome, do it! Ive just bought a house down there, moving from Yorkshire.

[@sarahlund3872]

Ha ha xD I don't like arrogant people MYSELF!! The worst thing anyone can do is act like they're the best thing since sliced bread. I notice these things.

[@LunaTdC]

❤️👏🍌🦉

[@TheNopeness]

How is he a nerd, exactly? Is that term even relevant anymore? As long as the internet exists, we're all nerds.
