I Quit My Job

[@neokCS]

i wish you good luck man you have the vision

[@hsensteinmuriel2507]

bratannnnnnnnn

[@GiovanniDeluxxe]

You'll sit on a million plus one day. i love the grind , keep it up

[@rickkase6438]

he also has no idea what he's doing it. Dude's blessed.

[@jamalwest7658]

It's refreshing to hear you say that your aware of your mortality and that you don't want to spend this little time on earth settling, go forth young man!

[@lucanreynolds947]

Stoicism hell yeah

[@vooCSGO]

good luck man i've watched the channel for a while, dig the honesty.

[@gaslikeimcitgo6926]

Didn’t expect you and Neok to watch this lol

[@zesst1158]

I feel the same way looking up to you as you did to casey neistat. You inspire me to pursue my dreams. Keep it up.

[@shoooja]

Oh god I thought u where talkin bout KZbin, I’m proud for u man

[@pedrocaldeira9562]

I think that more and more we're forced to face life as an emotionless machine: you study for around 17 years, you work until you're 60 something and then you "enjoy" your retirement for 20 or so years. But life doesn't have to be like this and it's videos like these that really show that the best thing someone can do is to just say "to hell with it" and follow what they really love doing. I wish you the best of luck and your fans will for sure keep trying their best to support you and you art. Never change Jake! Love from Portugal

[@craigronald]

First time I came across your channel was the Kendrick Lamar video. The intro was very captivating and the entire experience from the video was enjoyable, it helped me relive some of the memories I had growing up listening to Kendrick and it seemed you had a familiar experience. It's refreshing to listen to you articulate those feelings associated with the artists you make videos about and be able to relate to it - and of course the presentation/visuals are very sick too. It's quite crazy watching you explain this transition because I feel like I'm on a similar path, recently just quit my job and am trying to create a business out of software development ideas I have. I'm a bit restrained financially so won't be able to support your patreon right away but I will be tuning into your future releases and am wishing you the best of luck in pursuing your dreams. ps. I really hope you manage to get that Mac Miller video back up lol!

[@foome36]

We definetly need that one back!

[@berniecorcoran6262]

[@jl2schirm]

Congrats bro, crazy seeing this channel grow

[@kamalhaji8291]

Congrats Jake. Quitting my job to be an entrepreneur at 23 was the hardest thing but looking back at 28 it was the best decision of my life. Just be ready to sacrifice and good things will come.

[@kamalhaji8291]

Also learn about small business taxes and write offs especially if you're working from home.

[@maggieluna1185]

your channel is extremely refreshing, the cinematics, the filmmaking i dont know there's just something about it that makes it very enjoyable, i hope the best for you and will continue to support uu

[@nathanstrange168]

Mr. Zeeman, you’re a legend, a godddd! We appreciate you!

[@Grapegrape42]

It’s a crazy leap to quit your job and pursue your dream. Good shit, good luck, and I can’t wait to see what you produce!

[@Aviyoyopdx]

i watch a lot of video essays and soon after starting the kendrick video i was like damn this dude is built different

[@gillynova]

I love that you're in the Bay Area too and you love music. Greek Theater is for sure one of my favorite venues too and Berkeley has this special energy

[@bootstrapfilm]

big things, congrats bro all the best

[@alexpennie]

Keep waking up at the same time, and the grind you’ve been on. Some people get lazy when they quit their full time job and end up accomplishing only slightly more each day compared to when they were working and doing a side hustle

[@alexpennie]

I say this because this is what happened to me lol

[@Jessica-ww1hm]

I am so excited ! You were the first KZbin channel I found when I finally and officially engulfed myself as a viewer in this platform. I cant wait for more frequent content, and to help support the channel as well. Thank you for all you do, Jake! Excited to experience this new endeavor with you.

[@Diezel692]

Wish you the best of luck. You’ve found your passion and are doing what you enjoy. You’ll never work another day in your life...keep inspiring us!

[@DeGoya]

Good luck man, I really like your videos and if youtube doesn't work out, you can always go back and get a new job

[@DamianKeyes]

Inspirational dude and I’m excited to watch your journey and next few videos 😊

[@cn8961]

You’re have one of the only channels where I don’t mind watching 20 to 30 mins at all!! Great content bro!!! Keep it up

[@simontorwie]

I just went through your Spotify, and man, I'm sooo thankful for this. So many songs that I've always needed but never found. This is pure magic.

[@lucasmoney]

insane, i hope to be in your position one day

[@andrewphillips2478]

The docs you make are so insightful and well made I feel like I’m watching a massive channel with a team of researchers but when I ordered a hat from you I got a handwritten note on a sticky note and realized how genuine you are

[@SuperRavensfan101]

Really cool seeing you went to Clemson man, my dad graduated in 1985 and moved up to Northern Virginia to work for Orbital ATK as a Rocket Scientist because that was his major and I recently discovered your videos and the cool tour you did of their football facilities along with your vids on some of my favorite artists like Kanye and Kendrick. Keep up the good work because your production is quality man 🙌

[@foome36]

Hey Jake, I'm psyched to hear you're gonna do this full time! I've really been digging the bios, especially those covering musicians but I'm happy to explore some interesting people no matter their walk of life. I'll definetly lend some support on patreon. I just have to sleep on how much I feel like I can do as a student right now. Keep it up and much love from Germany

[@NatureXKPT]

Love the honesty bro, build it and they will come

[@ahayeah6208]

Signed up for your patreon without even watching the vid yet!!!!! You're SO TALENTED, and I'm so excited to support ya

[@oscargittings5409]

"It's not just fouseyTUBE, Jake Paul and Logan Paul. There's actual quality content" - AMEN brother! And yours is up there with the best of it. So stoked that you found what you are passionate about. Love your vids and can't wait to see some more of them! Also, ya can't beat getting home from work, chucking on a JZ Spotify playlist and vibing out. Keep making that magic happen, big things are coming for ya

[@me2us]

Proud of you JZ! We know this is a huge risk financially given all of the KZbin copyright issues, so we are excited to support you and your channel on Patreon and see you keep crushin' it!

[@Falshoinin]

Jake you’ve been one of my favorite KZbinrs for a long time. You have a genuine energy to you and everything you do. I believe in you man, and know that you’ll do well and gain great things. One of my favorite songs of all time by Kate bush cloud bursting has a lyric “ your suns coming out” Your sun, your beam of hope and destiny is going to come soon.

[@isaaccastro6481]

Good stuff man...best of luck! Sucks I won't be running into you at the office anymore, but keep in touch!

[@samhausmann1479]

Could listen to you all day every day... Good luck my favorite stranger from the internet!

[@lucasmoney]

would love to make documentaries with you one day, i'm a big fan of the music and the editing, im a videographer from TX. hope to help you make the big dreams come true

[@jegtalerikkedansk]

Seriously this is way more inspirational and helpful than stuff from all those self-help gurus out there. Good luck dude - you got it!

[@majestic3850]

Im going to do the same next week. Pursuing my dream more full time and working for myself. It's a big risk so prayers and blessings to most of us. I've been miserable and going through deep depression

[@OscarOffTheCuff]

I just discovered you and your channel. I’m turning 26 next week and am overwhelmed with life, work, school, etc. but what you’re doing and the content you make is something I’ve always wanted to get into. Hearing your story has inspired me

[@terrencegunther]

I love how you don't care about not getting money so that theres an experience of the person's music/work. So inspired for you bro and can't wait for the future with this channel. I'll never leave this channel no matter who you become. #Zeemer4Life

[@bmcminn8838]

You can always find another job but you will never find another passion you gotta go for it

[@krishpop-n]

good luck man. you're content is very high quality, and I think this channel is gonna to take off :) we saw it first

[@sarahnorbe9659]

You’re absolutely gonna make it. Never doubt yourself. You are incredibly talented and extremely intelligent. Keep up the great work. Never lose faith in yourself, you are something special my friend!!!

[@RebeccaCoup86]

Your really good at making Docs...when I'm watching them I forget its a KZbin video.... It feels like the old Mtv Docs. Im 35 years old and one thing I'd tell you is ....KZbin is like being a car salesman.....you've gotta sell that car , if you don't welllll ya don't eat..... I'd say do what makes ya happy.....and always always always have a backup plan... Ya never know.... Good luck!!!

[@xburtonboardnx]

I've watched your videos for YEARS and never knew you were a Clemson Grad!?! As my profile picture suggests - I am too! We have more than just that in common. I moved to Denver for a new corporate job in January and much like your anecdote - it's unfulfilling but secure and reliable. I'm near the tipping point where I need to lean into my niche, and seeing your video really reinforced that. Best of luck Jake, and Go Tigers.

[@mylesmartinez1888]

I like that travis scott nike hoodie 🔥🔥

[@erkhes1930]

proud of u bro

[@pablobonete]

Jake I haven’t seen this video yet; but you are actually an inspiration man

[@MattJM98]

Congratulations on taking the risk man! That reality of mortality is something that is shocking me into making change as well. I’ll be supporting you with this change from Australia man

[@tinkerer7813]

I really hope this goes the way you want it to my dude. Finding you, to me, felt like finding Cole Cuchna, or Volksgeist. You guys are what breathes life into the depths that these artists are willing to go to, to bring out their art. I don't think many people could or would see that, without having guides like you. So thank you. Always gonna be a fan. 😌

[@Rahtiiid]

damn. I definitely feel inspired by this. To make a decision like this, in a time with so much uncertainty... I'm excited to see this next chapter unfold. Kudos to u!!!

[@thatzebranigga98]

I’ve been watching you for the last two years, and I just wanna say, you’re a true inspiration. I want to get involved with video and just vlog I’m just too shy. One day, I’ll have the courage to do what you’re doing

[@fredbanda5494]

So many big plans moving forward, I fully support it and salute you on taking this risky but yet rewarding move. Can't wait to see what comes and hope you all the best

[@lenkahums]

Good decision! This was bound to happen - you are so talented in story telling - please continue! ❤💜♥️

[@cmo1917]

i think if you want more video's to be successful, you need to look at the ones that are popular, ie: biopics

[@JoeyXcv]

bro this video really touched me cos i feel the exact same way especially about your own mortality, it's like i was watching me talking to myself

[@whoyoudontseetheithor1989]

No joke, you inspire me. The hell we got to lose?! Good luck my man. The way you speak about is vary convincing. Go man man!

[@natevasa]

I love how much I relate to you in terms of video editing because most people assume I'm incredibly technologically inclined because I can edit pretty well. Which is absolutely not the case. Keep going man

[@jesusignaciohenriquezciste7243]

I’m from Chile and I watch your content. Keep going 🙌🏻

[@adam5277]

Glad you are doing this full time. I LOVE your videos!! Keep going!!!

[@harrymaddox1362]

The best, most underrated, creative on this platform atm

[@weston7trillion]

Good luck my man, still remember when I found you from your Travis Scott video and even for the intro, I knew the cinematography was going to be sick!

[@aliousidibe5273]

Mate every single word you said reasonated with me. You just gained a subscriber and I wish you the best on this new journey

[@GigaFloyd]

You got this Jake, I was here for you.

[@Choltec]

Well shit. I binged all your videos at the start of the pandemic and loved the insight into the artist's stories, but also just your passion for them. Your passion definitely inspired me. I listened to your spotify mixes pretty religiously for a while, and recommended them to many friends. Somehow I lost track of your channel over the summer, but just checked out our channel today and found this video. You bet i'm going to be subscribing to your Patreon. I expect big things out of you! Huge congrats on quitting the dull day job, I really hope this whole KZbin thing works out for you! Much love man.

[@keithsmith5849]

Dude you’re awesome! Thank you for making this content 🙏🏻 Keep living your dream.

[@yourmainmexi]

just found your account recently, been slowly diving into your videos watching them one by one every day either to go with my breakfast or lunch. the video that got me was the bad bunny documentary…so well produced and captivating. must i say, i feel your storytelling and videography skills are very moving and inspiring as you provide great bios along with the application of these successful people to our own abilities…a way of making these famous people feel like they’re us because you show the doubt, difficulties, and obstacles they had to go through before the triumph. as an aspiring creative, i find all these videos nourishing and motivating as i battle with the challenges of self-doubt, self-discipline, and consistency for creating. and thank you for being very genuine and sharing your process and intention behind your creations. i know i am two years late to the original post of this video but i am glad to see that quitting your job worked out and you’re still creating doing what you love ! i look forward to watching all your other videos, much love, ivan

[@BobbyJoeChan]

Good luck 😉. I really enjoyed this video. Can’t wait to say ‘I remember when he quit his job’ when you are at 1 million+ subs 😊. It’s awesome that you have a sort of ‘formula’ right now that will guarantee steady growth, but I’d love to see what other types of videos you could make! Right now you may think you’re just a fan sharing with other fans, but one day you’ll have your own fans.

[@younesromero]

I did the same thing last year November brother. I'm a writer and can't see myself doing anything else. The future still makes me nervous every day, but I try to just focus on the work I am doing now and let each day unfold as it does. As long as I am doing what I want to do, all is well. What you spoke about with regards to our mortality played a huge part in the decision I took to quit my job also. So far it's the best decision I have ever made, if that becomes the worse decision I ever made then fuck it, I won't stop writing either way. Good luck to you brother.

[@localbadderz8885]

Wishing you all the best.

[@rrego2]

Awesome man! You’re doing the right thing. Growth can’t happen if you constrain yourself and it was also smart to save up for a few years. Many people are indecisive or overzealous but balance is important

[@Mokojwa]

From a kid in South Africa 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦, your work is highly appreciated.

[@wassimdiouri275]

[@chebetkimetto2834]

Congratulations on this new path Jake. We cannot wait to see what you have in store for us.

[@moona1333]

[@mattysumida]

This is my favorite thing to hear from content creators. Your side hustle is now your full-time gig. Inspiring stuff. Hope to do the same one day.

[@athosrubim]

Congratulations. You're doing amazing

[@gustavochilds7129]

Hey, good for you man, enjoy life while you still can

I have been watching your videos for a while now and I am very excited on what you can do in the future.

[@beatrizlandeiro8936]

Your videos truly inspire me to think creatively and to write more. Bold move to quit your job - but a necessary one if you want to bring your craft to an even better level. I am super curious with what’s coming next on this channel! Good luck Jake :)

[@kassu3603]

I like this video, very honest, very personal. I struggle with finding a life aspiration, this video helped a bit.

[@inzodarello7251]

You create good content. We will support you all the way. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@abc123leslye]

I'm the same age and I totally get you! Wishing you the best of luck.

Happy for you bro... Looking forward to the new content🔥🔥

[@alexisesomonu430]

I am so happy for you, big things are coming!

[@EuanCopeland]

Mate you deserve all the praise! You make documentaries already - now you just need to get the people involved! This video is very inspirational & something I want to do in a few months time 🙌🏻

[@eddytsao]

You're a great storyteller man. Best of luck on this youtube journey, will definitely be following along.

[@hardayswork]

This video gave me a lift. Thanks for sharing. I look forward to seeing how your story develops.

[@Sfou.]

Big fan of your videos man, really happy that you are doing it full time now

[@BigHeadBob]

To discover this a year after you made it gives me chills. You're so on point here and did exactly what you said you'd do. Mad respect, I can relate
