Thanks for the tips kind sir.

[@klkiley2922]

I went from stocking toilets, Helpdesk, and now System Admin in 2 months. Network Chuck and David Bombal are the ones that got me started!

[@TheBeardedITDad]

thats crazy.. epic story though

[@jamesberry8195]

I appreciate all that Network Chuck does and his wide open range of interests.

[@MartyP-tu6fx]

Stumbling into your videos has been the best surprise of 2022, Thank you. Network Chuck's channel has been a godsend to myself and I imagine countless people who are looking for better tomorrow.

[@TheBeardedITDad]

Wow, thank you!

[@annikarasmussen6616]

Network Chuck was some of the first I.T. videos I watched. Thanks for doing this conversation.

[@TheBeardedITDad]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@crazygraduate4854]

2 of my Favourite youtube content creators who have guided me through my cybersecurity journey.Awesome!!!!

[@TheBeardedITDad]

Wow, thank you!

[@xxFormula1989xx]

I'm a big fan of both of your content's as well. You guys helped provide a direction and a launching off point, that ultimately got me started into pursuing my A+ and changing careers to IT.

[@TheBeardedITDad]

Thank you

[@davidbarber6268]

There seems to be a running theme through IT youtubers coffee and beards if so. I am in as I love coffee and have a reasonable beard 😁

[@andrewmartinez4188]

This is definitely the best video I've watched. Ever. Gets me fired up! If I'm facing doubt this is going to be my Go To.

[@rainmakerguy]

awesome

[@bogart9010]

An inch deep and a mile wide of knowledge isn't always the greatest. Specializing in an area will make you more money and will give you better job security.

[@Aed_Investments]

Brilliant! I’m very thankful for the plethora of information and experiential wisdom you all shared. Kudos and I’m truly thankful for you all doing all you guys can to guide people properly.

[@TheBeardedITDad]

Glad it was helpful!

[@kylefellin9067]

Thank you both for giving so much of yourselves back to the masses

[@laurabaca8001]

[@TheBeardedITDad]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@KenPryor]

Great video. Hadn't seen your channel before but now I'm subscribed. I've followed Chuck for quite a while now and have learned a lot from him.

[@TheBeardedITDad]

Awesome, thank you!

[@mariakhan6090]

Big fan of you both!

[@TheBeardedITDad]

Thank you

[@therealDJG]

Two of my favorite KZbinrs right now. You guy’s knowledge and started from the bottom stories continues to motivate me. Studying for the CCNA right now!

[@TheBeardedITDad]

Thank you so much!!! Good luck on the ccna

[@offroadpatriot7219]

Here from the beginning. And like Chuck said. I think you'll be bigger than you thinkin within about 2 years. Great content, keep it up man!

[@TheBeardedITDad]

Thank you so much! I think the goal for 2023 is to see if we can go full-time on KZbin and create way better quality content for all of you

[@sanjaym230]

Awesome content !

[@TheBeardedITDad]

Glad you liked it

[@chromerims]

[@eddwinnas]

Ceo of top 5 fortune 500 company told us yrsterday...'but network chuck makes it look easy'

[@parl-88]

Keep it up! Bearded IT Dad. Good videos!

[@TheBeardedITDad]

Thank you

[@gregatit]

Great motivational stories from you and Chuck, as someone transitioning at a midpoint in life going through all the burnout, motivation, overload (yes Chuck your not helping with “you gotta learn X NOW”….but I WANT to!) it is comforting to know everyone goes through these stages. Last year at this time, I wasn’t certified in anything now I am and will test for more in coming weeks while continuing to build my homelab and teach in tech well for a local college in workforce development. Tech is incredible and full of so many amazing opportunities and people to lean on and relate to. Beard is optional but HIGHLY recommended!🧔🏻‍♂️ Coffee is NOT an option but a requirement. Keep up the great work and continued success.

[@TheBeardedITDad]

Thank you so much and glad we can give you some motivation.. Feel free to reach out any time with any questions you have.

[@allentomlinson8078]

Awesome video. I live the energy of both of you. Makes videos much more entertaining.

[@TheBeardedITDad]

Thank you

[@joshuamercer854]

Thanks for sharing. I'm about to take my security + and complete the triad and then I'm moving on to CCNA. I start an IT internship with the manufacturing company I work at the beginning of the year. I hope a year or two or now I'll be getting a good networking job!

[@em1kid28546]

Great calibration!! Beard gang!!

[@TheBeardedITDad]

[@KevtechITSupport]

[@RonWaller]

Thanks for the giveaway. Thanks Dakota and Chuck

[@AdHdEntertainmentLLC]

Yea as someone with severe ADHD I'll be honest I get burned out a lot because Im trying to do so many different self study courses. Cant medicate so I just really need to focus come 2023!! At 44 I'm tired of not applying my dual bachelors.

[@TheBeardedITDad]

Just start putting your self out there !

[@AdHdEntertainmentLLC]

@@TheBeardedITDad It was easier when I was a pro-wrestler. But I plan to focus more on my youtube and IT career. I had a rough year and currently have a best friend dying from lover failure . It reminds that life's to short. Thanks and Happy Holidays

[@motech2022]

Best video I have seen

[@TheBeardedITDad]

Thank you

[@AhmedMohamed-eb6bu]

Amazing

[@MC7791]

Guess I got too complacent. Been doing help desk for a long time. Want to be a network engineer but no company I have worked for was able to help. Failed the CCNA earlier this year and am studying again and will re take before it changes again. Hope I am on the right path.

[@TheBeardedITDad]

Biggest key to success with the CCNA is Lab Every Day!!!!

[@VIRTUAL.ARTofficial]

seems good!

[@NOVA-ev5bk]

Nice

[@MrHaydenJr]

What about PLC programming and automation? Also what about a content creator course, ive wanted to start but cant just start, would you be interested in working woth new youtubers as well?

[@TheBeardedITDad]

I have very little experience with PLC's ... My community college offered a degree path called Mecatronics or somthing like that that covered that kind of stuff.

[@TheBeardedITDad]

Message me on discord to talk more about content creation.

[@motech2022]
