Episode 174
Holy shit, this video is like a $400 an hour therapist for 6 months compressed in 10 minutes. Awesome stuff
And life coach, and nutritionist, and pastor, ...
Haha so true
I can get this for free all the time from my pastor. Honestly, this video is a combination of Sunday school lessons and what my parents lectured to me.
It's very superficial information to be honest.
@@mechadoggy You got it free here in 10:25, all without the need of a gatekeeper to an invisible sky daddy.
The best, and most practical, video from the Prof yet! Keep on keepin' on!!!
That was an insult...
Not in the context of his statement starting at 1:23
This is awsome, I would agree!!
Wow, I agree with almost everything here, except that “this is IT. 9:44.” This life is too simple to end this way. I know HELL exists, because he got me out of it twice, but God wants us to choose to be with him or not. Most of the world knows of Jesus Christ now, so he’s coming back soon. But will never force you into the relationship. Scott, if you choose to believe, you will see your kids again. And possibly even watch over your grandchildren.
Christopher Freeze You beat me to it...except for the Africa thing (I know it’s a metaphor), there’s a lifetime of “experiences” you can have in “the best zip code in the world” and still keep your Family safe. If it’s just you, knock yourself out on the amount of “danger” (real/perceived) to expose yourself too.
I predict this will go down as one of the best youtube videos of all time.
BY FAR!
Joe 30 pack yeah he seems really happy
{Kanye shrug}
I was just about to write almost the exact same thing.
You have n0 idea
I'm not going to lie. I rewatched this like 3 times. It feel like my future 65 yr old self talking to me in my 20's. 👍😁👍
That bit about caring for your parents at the end of their life hit me so hard , Im grateful I could care for my mother and see her off in peace, its something ill always remember and cherish
Wow. 50 years of wisdom condensed into 10 minutes.
One the best and most informative videos I’ve ever accidentally stumbled upon.
Me too. I don't know how the f*** I got here, but glad I did
This is solid advice. Right on.
Jordan Petersen, Tim Ferris & Steve Jobs walk into a room. Only one man comes out... Scott Galloway. Thank you Sir for your contribution, we are in your debt.
I need to watch this every Sunday night. Great stuff here 👊🏼
Another Professor Galloway Home Run
Ironically enough, I’ve learned the bulk of these lessons over many past Sundays, albeit Sunday mornings, not Sunday evenings
I don't ever expect to find someone I'm mutually attracted to (physically), align with my values, AND aligns with my financial philosophies. That's a unicorn.
Your wish is your command.
Keep looking my friend. I'm living proof that you can achieve all three
You have hope you cant be that special. That there arent people that align in these three criteria too
The meaning and purpose of life wrapped up in a 5 minute KZhead video, a person really can find everything on KZhead
If I could recommend only 10 minutes of life advice to anyone, it is these 10 minutes. Thanks Scott!
Damn, Scott! As a long time watcher of your vids, my expectations of your content are high, but this video broke new ground and reached a depth I was not expecting! Thank you for making this and sharing so honestly. As a 32-year-old "struggling" entrepreneur this is a much-needed reality check.
Just shared this on FB, i plan to rewatch this many times. Thanks for the upload.
This was incredibly timely. I needed that. Thank you Mr Galloway.
One of the best commencement speeches I heard. Thanks Scott.
Not the usual video I expect from you guys, but probably one of my favourites that you've put out. Thanks
Sheesh....so many gems dropped! We appreciate you Scott!
Best one yet. Thank you for this summation. Agree with all of it. Will rewatch as the years go
I've shared this video so many times with so many people. This is YT gold. Thank you, love your work Scott!
I keep coming back to this every once in a while to remind myself of the basics
This was awesome. It sums up all of the life one liners I've heard Scott say over the past 18+ months.
I've been watching this channel for a while and have greatly enjoyed most of the videos, but this one by far will stay with me the longest. Thank you!
Professor, I love the focus of your normal videos but this one was fantastic. You and your team are doing an amazing job.
This video is one of the best mood changers Ive ever had. Keep on putting out content like this!
Thanks Scott! I needed a lot, it remind me that life is a long race, rather than a sprint.
On the day of your last L2 episode, I had to come back to this video. It helps validate that I'm on the right path. Thank you for everything.
By far the most real video to date. Thanks for sharing Scott.
I think this channel is awesome. I try to share it with as many people as I can. Great video!
You were one of the biggest reason I got back to school. Even though I'm only 23, you're an absolute inspiration. These videos really make a difference. I've learned more through you over the last 2+ years than I have in the econ classes I've enrolled in. Thank you Scott
This is the best advice I have ever heard - that could resonate the way he delivered the message
Amazeballs. You continue to surprise and delight with your weekly wisdom. Thanks.
I love his frank to the point style with stuff like this. No sugar coating. Great stuff!
Wow, thank you for your honesty and sharing your personal perspective to better others.
Great video. Best playbook for life I've seen to date with the exception of Scott's comments about "Partnering." Partnering (or, marriage) is short lived and a total fallacy. All the preparation and thought that goes into careful partner selection works for about 6 months to 1 year. After that, shit gets very, very real (reference Scott's Happiness curve). It's during the low point of the curve when things take a turn for the worse. Stress, work, politics, economic hardship, deteriorating health, kids, in-laws all add tremendous stress to the partnership and will cause it to break. I guarantee that at one time or another, one (or both) partner(s) will want out. Remember, as with all 2-party partnerships, it takes two in order to create it. However, it only takes one to dissolve it. Divorce will seek to undo everything (and, I do mean everything) the partnership worked so hard to create. The end results include (but are in no way limited to): financial ruin, emotional/physical/mental health issues, drug and alcohol addiction, and (in more than one case) death (by suicide -- or worse). For those of you who are contemplating marriage, DON'T!!! The odds against you are staggering. The national divorce rate is 50% (and rising extremely fast). The divorce rate in CA is 100% (counting second or even third marriages). If you are dead-set on marrying, meet with a reputable family lawyer BEFORE saying your I-do's and learn about what you are about to get yourself into. Talk to as many married and formerly married people as possible about their experiences (particularly, lessons-learned) and LISTEN really, really carefully. I realize my words will cause you to think of (and/or respond to) me critically. And, that's OK. But, if you don't think this can happen to you...well, you'll see. As for myself, I was naïve, and I did not receive advice like this when I needed it the most. I wish that I had. So, this of this is one of those "pay it forward" moments. As Scott so eloquently states, "Life is SO rich!" My contribution: "So, don't F@#$ it up!" :)
So u die alone?
Well...I guess that depends on one's death, doesn't it? If the ideal is to painlessly pass at age 100 in a warm bed surrounded by loved ones, then this is something I wish for everyone (myself included). Since one of life's biggest mysteries is that we don't know when or where it's going to end, we must accept this as something beyond our control. However, we can control what we do in life. My original statement merely cautions about the realities of marriage (and the devastating consequences of divorce) AS WELL AS provides advice to those who choose to marry -- something to which Scott alluded but did not fully address. I pray the people who read my words take them in the spirit in which they were written and proceed with caution.
Thanks for that - it's reality, and needed to be said.
Thank you for making this video. You touched on so many relatable topics and situations. This was the pep talk I needed to hear.
This is one of the best videos I've ever watched. Thanks Prof Galloway
Nice to see a factual, concrete approach to happiness. Loved the video!!
Never seen/heard so many life lessons in such a short duration of time! They're told in such a concise manner. I bet I'll watch it many many times in future and I'll try recommend it to as many people as I can.
This has to be my favorite video yet. WOW. I'm sending this to all my young firends.
This is frickin' awesome. I LOVE how you address alcohol. Very important and so many people don't mention it when talking about life happiness.
Absolutely perfect video Scott. I immediately passed this along to my two sons as well - thank you for this amazing wealth of knowledge!
I only leaned of this man a year ago, wished I found him years ago,
You are a true hero, I love your videos! Keep inspiring and saving lives, I’ve learned so much from watching this channel. 😎👍🏻
Wow very powerful. The story about your mom was very touching. Thanks for reaching out to keep our heads on straight
Absolute gem. Thanks for the words of wisdom.
Much love you you for compiling this, brother.
this channel gives so much value
I'm so glad you did a video of this newsletter... I just turned 36, became a dad, am losing parents to alcoholism, had financial success early on but now am feeling lost hopping from one failed startup to another while getting no interest from my resumes because I can't dictate exactly what I want to do... this was such an inspiration. Thank you
Hope the last five years since this comment have been positive for you. If you ever care to share an update here, I’d very much be happy to get that KZhead alert.
You just gave every life therapy session in 10 minutes. This video makes me very glad you started a KZhead channel.
amazing he covers everything i always new was important but he organised it in to something i can truly live by
These are golden words. Thank you!
Thanks man I needed that. Gave me goosebumps listening to this video. It has been a year since my MBA graduation and “lost” is precisely what I am experiencing.
I agree with those who commented before me, this is my favorite video and I've sent the link to it to all the folks I care about. Great stuff!
Best I've seen so far. Rest are awesome, but these were some real life lessons I needed.
I think I have watched about 80% of your videos. But this is the best yet. I salute you Prof. Scott Galloway. It easily qualifies as an inspirational video
Thank you so much for being real. This advice shouldn't be ignored.
I appreciate how 21K have enjoyed this terrific presentation. Many thanks to Scott.
Knocking it out of the damn park Scott. Yet again you're showing the "kids" that there is more to life than work and education. I appreciate it.
AMAZING. Saved to rewatch, thanks Professor.
Wow. One of the best videos I’ve seen in a long time. As an undergrad student, this will give me a lot to ponder on
Good shit Scott. I rarely comment on KZhead but I have been following you for a while and you give solid, no-bull, insights that are refreshing and appreciated. Keep up the good work
Thanks for this. I'm pretty sure "efficiently helping strangers on the internet figure out Life" ranks high in rewarding activities. Godspeed, prof
This is gold. Thank you Scott
Holy shit Professor, this is definitely a top 5 favorite from all your content. Thank you
Every once in a while I return here, this video is soo good!
just like a splendid wine, a reasonable dose of you makes for a good moment and you're improving with age. Thank you for your most satisfying post yet...
Thanks for the advice, Scotty! Awesome! Will put those into practice!
Thank you so much for these words of wisdom. Some of your advice resonated with me at even 53 years old.
I was blessed to sit in Professor Galloway's class when he delivered this message
Most Meaningful And Relevant Advice
Excellent. All the different videos in one. This one is saved to watch at later point.
This is fantastic. Thanks Scott & L2.
I really have no idea why I just subscribed but every time I see one of these advertisements I always think, “ this guy has my respect” or “ I don’t know what he’s talking about but I want to hear more.” So after like 6 months of seeing ads for this channel I finally subbed. I love to hear this guys voice and care little tone and above all his incredible intellect on every subject discussed. Dammit advertising you win
after watching this video 20 times.. I can say.. it changed my life.
This is literally every message I got from "12 Rules for Life" but multiple thousands words more concise.
Bought your book, many great insights!!!
27K views at the moment, watch it grow to the 1M!... I've been following SG L2's awesome feed for a while, but this is by far the best video from Prof Galloway (yet)! Best practical advice for anyone at any age!... keep them coming!
great video - this is one of those life plans that you've helped us drawn out for ourselves
Never seen anyone talk about this topic in such an insightful, extensive but concise way. Prof. Galloway gets it!!
I am not the target audience for this channel, but that message of seniors on their younger selves was really warm Scott. I think I needed to hear that, thank you.
I needed this, man...
This is the best video I've seen so far in my life.
Brilliant! Where were you Scott when I needed you in the 70's?!!
This was amazing, thank you so much for making this 💖
That was good. It hit home-I to took care of my dying mother for 2yrs. I watched jeopardy n wheel of fortune every night. with her n spent all day caring for her-it was my privilege.
Straight to the point and great advice.
I think this might be the best and most useful video in the whole of KZhead.
God bless you professor. Your talks always motivate me. Thank you
The Professor is something else. Scott Galloway is Scott Galloway. Very powerful stuff!
Excellent video!!! One of the best!!
I watch your videos every time they come out and I love them I don’t know much about the market or branding or any of what you’re talking about honestly but for whatever reason it appeals to me this however this is episode or video whatever you wanna call it I think with my favorite so far and it’s actually more information I can actually use me being 37 trying to work out my life I guess it helps so thanks
I think this is the best video I've ever seen. The best advice and I shall pass on the advice and video. Thank you!!!
Damn; This made me think DEEP into whats going on in my life. Thanks for that- That was a solid kick in the butt pick me up.
Thank you for sharing the experiences, Great video.👍🏾
This was pure gold! Every 18 year old, who is entering into adulthood, should watch it as there are some valuable lessons in this video. I am myself 18 and found the video very helpful. It’s not something that is taught at school
Great video. Thanks Scott!
Gumption pays. Needed to hear that. One of the greatest videos on KZhead. Followed you over a half decade ago, back in the L2 days.
Best video I have ever seen on KZhead!! Thank you!
