Can You Be Friends With Your Boss?

People are constantly questioning whether or not they can have a more meaningful relationship with their boss along with a lot of other questions you guys asked on my site. I do my best to answer them. Thanks for watching!

As a person who has worked at Barnes & Noble, it makes me incredibly happy that you decided to go to an actual bookstore instead of ordering all of those books from Amazon... I personally love bookstores and I'm so happy to see someone else appreciating them and ALL those books, too 👏

[@anishbapat4240]

It has been a while! Glad to see you are still uploading Matt! PS: Still waiting for that book of yours to come out.

[@abdullahsikander8919]

UltraAnish It’s Called BATTLE UNIVERSE

[@anishbapat4240]

@@abdullahsikander8919 yea, he mentioned it a while back, and idk if he mentioned it in one of his latest videos.

[@paigepriddy7715]

A boss is someone who takes credit A leader is someone who gives credit And you matthias are a spectacular leader! A boss will literally take credit and praise for what their employees put forth while a leader will happily give the credit to their employees for what they do rather then saying it was all their(the leaders) doing

[@christhegamerdelima5545]

Elaborate.

[@rasinap2432]

I thoght da both words meaning were da same

[@EtherealEverest]

And... A boss makes people do things A leader will take time with people and help them

[@bails_haveman]

A christian fiction book I HIGHLY recommend is 'The Shack'. It talks about forgiveness, why evil happens, and has some really cool and interesting perspectives on the trinity! It has really helped me get through some of the "evil" in my own life! You should totally check it out if you haven't already!

[@singingfan]

Omg I watched the movie and I was ruined. Bawled my eyes out😭❤️

[@slobbucket]

That was a amazing book

[@jacksonsmith9152]

I just got promoted at my job and now I have to take on more of a leadership role and this video really did help me look at things differently. It’s nice getting advice from someone who’s been a leader for a long time. Thank you, I really appreciate the content your making with this channel.

[@theaidanator]

New question: WHEN IS THE BOOK COMING OUT MATT

[@jamiemorgan3649]

So this channel is how his vlog channel use to be and his vlog channel is now like a The office type of channel. This man is a work horse.

[@drewharner3387]

The way you run your companies is really forward. Just hearing on Other channels on how Hi5 is ran is very innovative. Having everyone watch material when it is published to get feedback from the rest of the office is amazing. You have certain times you have to sit down and just work. The implementation of setting cameras around the offices to encourage vlogging. I have never heard of an office being ran the way you run them. You have a very proactive way of approaching the everyday office life and schedule of your employees and that seems like it has greatly benefited your companies and would be very beneficial to other companies how you go about things.

[@eoinoconnor6622]

You are honestly my role model I remember coming across team edge when they were in the garage Since then I've watched all videos from hi5 including the employees videos.

[@StorytellerForeverYT]

Had to comment again sorry, but I just absolutely loved the discussion with sam at the end; I've mostly seen them talk in the sketches where Sam is very jumpy and borderline afraid of Matt... This was very nice to see, Matt and sam remind me of me and my dad xD Very wholesome to watch.

[@FreddieM213]

I love to see videos that have topics of business-oriented questions and routines. Finding a business like this would be awesome to work in just because of seeing how each co-worker works together. Mathias, you and your team are doing a great job. I hope we meet in the near future.

[@imjody]

This channel was such a great idea, and I've loved it. 120,000 subs, and you just let it slip... It's really unfortunate. This channel is not a fail. You should have been more consistant with it; because I really do love it, and don't follow any of your other channels (personal opinion; I enjoy business stuff). I'm cleaning up my subscribers list and am sad to unsub from this channel. :(

[@victoriadangelo6979]

I envy your relationship with your employees so much, Matt. I'm a shift lead at a fast food restaurant and I'm friends with all of the cashiers and cooks but I'm not given any power of enforcement and most of them are young and particularly free-spirited which makes the relationship of respect finicky. I'm sure that Hi5 has it's issues too, everywhere does, but it sounds like a dream compared to my workplace.

[@AskMatthias]

The truth is I’ve found power isn’t really all that great. Yeah it works for a while but it erodes and destroys if you lean on it for too long. You can lead even with no power. Communicate. Sit them down and just talk to them 1:1 and tell them how certain things make your job hard and then LISTEN to their responses and validate. Make sure you open up and are vulnerable, If someone is capable of vulnerability they will do the same. It’s human. This will get you 10x the results over any show of force. Lead with love.

[@michaelwilt7825]

Your videos are inspiring brother! I watch these to get me motivated to work on my business and to focus on work. Can’t wait for the next vid!

[@Taracinablue]

I love books too, but I usually get them from a second-hand bookstore or a used-but-still-fine copy off Amazon. My relationship with my boss (retail, but a casual country store, been there ten years this month) is friendly, but I wouldn't say we're friends. He's usually in the office, but when I do encounter him clocking in or out or when he comes into the store, if I don't need to ask a schedule-related question, I can chat about random stuff or ask after his little son. I don't think he knows much about me as a person--definitely not as much as some of my coworkers.

[@jenny_rice]

I am reading Extreme Ownership right now. 3/4 of the way through. Very interesting. I also love books and am always reading one or two. Love to hear about the ones you guys are reading/suggest.

[@laudoga]

You guys give me hope even in the darkest of times I face

[@joellott8952]

Glad you’re back to uploading

[@heyhey370]

Glad your back Matt!!

[@michielstikkel]

Thank you for this type of videos. They are enlightening . I try to strive towards this type of environment at my work.

[@Fyrn33]

I can say that I regret nothing, in hindsight. There are things in life that we all have bad memories of, but for me, I feel as though any person, event etc that has happened in my life has shaped me to be who I am today. As well, people, events etc will continue shaping me as a person and my life until I am no longer here.

[@kimmy92294]

I would love to work for hi5! You all act like a family there, you talked about regret and the biggest thing that I regret was making a move away from what I knew was good for me and now it’s more of a struggle. I currently work retail and it’s the worst thing but there is nothing better where I am!

[@JustAnotherNerdGirl7]

My boyfriend got me a book on Norse Mythology that I had been looking at when we were shopping together. It was from Barnes & Noble.

[@FitzVestrit]

finally was wondering if u stopped this channel as well but i guess not

[@brickguy0486]

Phew! I thought that something happened to this channel or you since you haven’t uploaded in a while. Great to see you back Matt!

[@erinwilliams7889]

The One Thing is a great book. You should get the workbook too.

[@taylorprice7256]

Really love how the relationship between u as a boss and others as a worker. I wish all work places were like that! The recent dope or nope, I noticed u didn't really wear all black so I'm hoping ur doing well now 💙 keep it up

[@theaidanator]

Is it only me who just realised that Sam looks a lot like Gal Gadot

[@avilevy5294]

on her instal there is a cosplay of her as Wonder Woman

[@wooski1352]

Hi! I always make sure I watch these videos when they come out and I think they're amazing!

[@lauramacdonald158]

I think my favorite employee is Samantha. She’s smart, funny and has a really good head on her shoulders. 😁

[@legandarynoob1023]

I didn’t even know this channel existed until I looked at rekt

[@imjody]

This is the only channel of yours that I follow; since I'm all about entrepreneurship and business, but you haven't released any new content in over two months. 😩

[@sarahalvarado]

Hi Matt I just want to say that this channel is amazing 💖

[@sig_w]

Just me or do we still see the funny old Matt that was kinda careless and young instead of a ceo of three companies. This is the first video I've watched that I actually see that he's pretty exhausted and has a lot of responsibilities and things on his mind. Hope you get a lot of rest Matt😘

[@dhavalchaudhary9384]

Book recommendation Bhagvat Geeta--> spiritual Chanakya(any book)--> Leadership related

[@seymonsolomon9545]

Night is a GREAT book. Listen to Samantha!

[@hamsandwich800]

i found this really good book and its called The Cay

[@iiLadybuq]

For the title I say it depends on the boss because if the boss is like Matt then yes but if their really strict and serious then no

[@spriggan8784]

Why forgive is a real good book

[@slade6257]

Dude I want to know how to do those sick camera cut transitions 😍😍

[@ashleyreeves1777]

Wow, those were good questions

[@jamsjams1111]

I would like to know if matt is still interested in making sketchs

[@Nicole-1655]

i love hi5 studios

[@MasamuneHikara]

wish there was a list of the books in the description

[@vaibhav_xo5534]

Matthias has the same taste as me in books

[@Dream-Gaming]

Regrets means your living in the pass . Realize what happened, learn from it and move to the next thing

[@jenalegassick384]

I love this style of video keep at it!

[@alabamafan3796]

[@morebygarrison]

Woods is vlogging again but on his own personal channel

[@jemsnyman]

I really enjoy seeing you and the crew being real - introducing some transparency and integrity is really refreshing 👍🏻

[@daviclemons6910]

@Aidan Atmore26 Having a camera in your face tends to alter personality.

[@kaysn6579]

Been hoping for a new video on here Matt! Also noticed you didnt wear all black in the latest dope or nope. Hopefully things are looking up!

[@Ch1kinNo0dle]

Hey Matt, I love this channel!!! Keep up the great work! ❤

[@rasinap2432]

Cus I'm ugly

[@rasinap2432]

Wait what!?

[@pixelchord3937]

I actually really like this channel because it teaches me a lot about the life of Matthias as a business owner. It's a really nice change of pace from the usual videos Hi-5 is known for.

[@sanjeevd6555]

I've started to do deep work sections and I find them so helpful. Love your vids.

[@gch8810]

I like Michael Badal's book recommendation(the Bible).

[@madhavidharmavarapu306]

Why you are not posting anything in this channel . It's been 9months please start this channel as your vlog channel or Matthias channel . 😢😢

[@TransformX]

I was worried it was already the end of this series. Good to see I was wrong. *Under promise, over deliver* and keep your personal standards high. I personally try to follow this moto. Maybe you could talk about this aspect in your next video? If it's matches (or even if it doesn't) your way of thinking. It could be interesting to have your input on this. As always, thanks Mat for what you're sharing with us. You're a great person and it shows.

[@josephcole2003]

Please touch on Gunner Ashley and Nicole leaving Hi5

[@Mistakez_]

How did u learn about the legal things like firing people and etc. of running your business? Love the vids learning a lot keep it up!!

[@DangerHEARTZ]

MiSTaKeZ That’s a great question! I hope he answers it.

[@michaelgonzalez2516]

I'm pretty sure he learned from the books and online maybe?

[@penguinrapper6896]

To be honest hi5 studios is now starting to break up after woods and fail time and now rekt getting cancelled.....so Mathias try to make some new channels or at least bring back woods for the time being

[@clbyt]
