Hey guys. These videos are tough to make and release because they are so personal but I feel like it can really help some people to use me as an example of someone who was an absolute fuckup and was able to change things around. It is hard as hell, but don't give up and let your hardships consume you, no matter how bad your circumstances are. I also want to thank every single subscriber, viewer, etc because without you, I would not be where I am today.

Thanks for sharing this with us Brad. Although I haven't watched the entire video yet, man I'm having the jitters and anxiety applying at companies. I come from the field of Accounting and sometimes I wonder, do I even belong in this field of work (tech). Impostor syndrome definitely kickin in and in high gear.. 🤣 It came to the point where I simply wondered, maybe I should just return to my Accounting profession and just stay there. I'm 31 and thought it's worth the risk and so I went for it. Not hearing from companies and getting some 'we have moved on to find other suitable candidate' mails from recruiters is really getting to me.. 🤐 K, back to the video. Once again, thanks a lot Brad for all that you do! ✌🏻

I get what was being said, but I completely disagree with the wording. People don't _want_ to be victims, people want their issues acknowledged in hopes of finding help. Many people have legitimately troubled lives and want solutions, so they cry out. Disregarding this as some kind of attention seeking is a disservice to society and frankly a way to gaslight people. In short, seek psychiatry if you can/need it, and don't try and bury your mental problems people. That leads to depression.

I love you coolness in your presentation and above all this, you know where to start to get even a baby who can only speak to understand what you want to convey. These stories are mind blowing because drugs affect the mind and if those of us who have never tried a stick of cigarette still don’t know what to do, then we have a problem.

I came out and had a son created a family and now I'm the first in my family to pursue education. I'm going to college & also doing a full stack course which I graduate in June.

There were times where I felt this was not the right gig for me, or felt like I was not smart enough. I was almost about to give up on that dream when you had released another video similar to this talking about your struggles and how you overcame them. That had really motivated me to not give up and I am really thankful for what you do Brad because without stumbling on to your videos and advice, I would not be where I am today.

@@nateo7045 I felt the same way when I kicked it. I slowly tapered off until 4mg/day (from 16mg/day for about 10 years) and then withdrawals kicked in (I guess I should have tapered even more slowly). The next 2 months I slept only 1-2 hours per night and the 3rd month my sleep gradually improved until I got to about 7 hours per night which I considered the end of the withdrawal. I got a lot of RLS though, more than on heroin withdrawal, and I tried everything for it - selenium, magnesium, cbd, etc. The only things that worked, for me at least, was weed. I dont recommand it but I was desperate. Another thing, it’s not this bad for everybody. And if it is bad, know that it’s going to end. I was very worried that something was wrong with me that I have RLS after more than 2 months and I was afraid I was going to be stuck with it for the rest of my life. If you get to that point, know that it’ll end. Good luck!

Hey Brad Just want to say "Thank you" I belong from a place, where I did not know to write a single line of code till age 22. But thanks to you and your videos and courses, 4 years later, I am a specialist programmer leading a team of devs. I just can't thank you enough for your contribution toward society and how it is changing lifes

I really appreciate this. I have a similar background and I've been really discouraged about that in the past. Thank you for the reminder that we can make it to the place we're pushing to. Thanks, man.

I was discouraged at one point but now I am actually proud that I made it out. Not too many people live through that experience and come out the other side. So be proud if yourself

What you said about people being victims and seeing their personal issues as a bad thing instead of using it as strength is totally true. Last year in a span of two months I got in debt , my sister went to jail , my dog died and during all this I worked 40h and studying for a Web application developer degree of 3 years. Was it though yes did I keep my eye on the ball YES. Many people who were comforting me in that time all said "Yeah take it easy you can redo your year if needed etc etc" , absolutly no one said "I know its though but its gonna be ok and keep focused..." which is what i really needed in that time but I sais it to myself in the end. Now i am very proud of myself that i passed with good grades last year and now in my final year going strong. Your tutorials helped me more than my teachers btw! For everybody reading this .... You can do it just keep grinding and working even if it is 10 min in a day you did SOMETHING and don't listen to the noise .

Brand's KZitem channel was one of the first which I found more than 3 or 4 years ago. It helped me to learn React and did first steps in tech. I left my home country and finally I'm working for big tech company here in US. Thank you Brad.

Bro, I'm blown away. I've been there totally. Spent years in prison, addicted to hard drugs.. Unlike you, I was stuck in the cycle up till recently, about 5 years ago. I've been clean close to 5 years now, after being stuck on drugs for over 20 years. I opened a reno company about 2 years ago, and it's really the first time in my life I've lived responsibly, let alone own and operate a company. It's been really overwhelming at times. I'm sure you understand. Anyway, don't wanna make this crazy long.. Thanks brotha.. I appreciate you. Btw, yes, I own and operate a reno company but have a super large interest/passion in programming. Very new to it all, but I'm loving the journey.. Thank you.

You are sharing your story thinking naively that you are just like anybody else, you may not have superpowers but your are no ordinary dude. Pulling out of your situation to where you are today is a journey that a fraction of the people can pull off. Look in the mirror and admire your warrior heart that faced rejection and failure head on. The excruciating pain that comes in change is something that most people can't withstand, some times this pain lasts so long that giving up seems the only option, you've been there and you fought through. I admire you and think your story is extremely inspiring.

Thank you for sharing your story. Very powerful. You are so right, the victim mentality will always hold people back. Take control, take responsibility and that alone will change your life forever.

Regardless of your past, you are a very good explainer of technology. What makes your videos particularly good, is that in every aspect, you keep it on an even keel, going over everything at the same pace. So many hotdogs out there who make tutorial videos just gloss over the things that really need a bit of background in their explanation. I'm 63-years-old, a wannabe freelance front end developer, and I enjoy, and get a lot out of all of your tutorial videos. Thank you.
