I really like the fact you don't demonize 9-5 jobs like those fucking motivational gurus

I’m 30 and I refuse to let other guys waste their 20s.

what a beautiful marketing strategy. Person doesn't know about an existing problem, marketers make them aware of the problem, and then they sell the solution.

Something you left out that's worth mentioning is that people just don't seem to have stimulating hobbies anymore. Going to the gym, scrolling through social media, gaming, and going out on Friday nights are about the extent of people's free time today and there's nothing very mentally stimulating about this. Yes, working out for an hour every day or so clears your mind, but once you get into it, its just another routine like having a shave in the morning. I learnt to play the piano in my early teens and learning a new piece of music gives me endless mental stimulation. I also do woodworking making all kinds of things and incorporate tasks like chopping wood into my exercise so that I actually get stuff done whilst keeping reasonably fit. I am also a member of a boating club and an astronomy club which allows me to meet new and likeminded people, which I really enjoy but there is virtually nobody my age (early/mid 20's). The vast majority are over 40, and you'd be hard pressed to find a club in a different scenario. For God's sake, do something interesting with your spare time and actually do things.

21 years old. gotta say im proud that my life is on track

Gotta buy the course. Won't be happy unless you buy the course. It's so simple! All I need to do is give this guy my money and I'll be happy!

"Bro" is out here selling snake oil "Bro," just wants to help the homies out "Bro" Buy my course "Bro." I Genuinely feel bad for the people looking up to you. Teaching people to never hold yourself personally accountable, basically saying "If your life sucks, it's not your fault! Everyone is out to get you! Everyone else made your life suck!" One of your greatest powers as a human being is the free will you have to take control of your life and your own actions. No one needs to spend $130 a month for a course from a 20 something year old who, just like the teachers he claims have no life experience, HAS NO LIFE EXPERIENCE. You have the power to choose the decisions you make in every moment, be responsible for your life and your own actions and become a well rounded person.

I was able to stay disciplined and by the time I was 30 I had a STEM degree, great career in IT/ACCOUNTING, and $30K in savings. Then the GREAT RECESSION hit, and I lost my career, savings, and great credit rating in my early 30s!!! The SAD REALITY is that you can do EVERYTHING right and one thing out of your control happens to you and it RUINS you!!!

im 27 , listen to Denmo

in short: be an influencer and sell courses and other bs online jobs

My girlfriend and I broke up for 2 years to get my shit together when I was 20. Thought we were going to split for good. Both of us became better people. We both developed ourselves. She got a tech job. I started learning skills, got great grades in community college and transferred into a decent major at a good university. I almost failed high school and made it here. What he says is true. Don't fall into these traps. My girl got back together when we were at a good place. Her and I are now working hard and keep each other progressing forward. Sometimes you are truly not ready for a relationship if you haven't found your drive.

So I don't know if I'm too late to comment this, nor I'm not sure if I belong here but here we are: I am just about to be turning 26 (as of making this comment) and I am happy to say that I am in a good headspace with my life! Mostly thanks to not having a huge ego, thinking more critically and keeping a balance with everything that I do. I'm also happy with how my KZfaq channel is going, and I've got a great girlfriend who may be on the chubby side, but that okay! I still love her and we always got each others backs. Sure do I wish some things were better in my 20s? Absolutely, it's human to think that way. But no matter what, I'm doing far better than where I was when I left school. But there's always room for a little bit of improvement. Even if it's just 1%. But hey, everyone is different. Everyone goes through life differently and at different paces. Some advice sticks around that works and some doesn't that don't. It all comes down to how one individual choose to live and take action in their lives.

18 years old, incredibly grateful to have learned about self-improvement over the last year. The future is very bright.

Preying on insecurities? Check. Demonizing women? Check. Selling courses? Check. The best thing about being out of my 20's is being comfortable with who I am. And i can smell this toxic bullshit from a mile away. Great business strategy, bro.

17, and my main problem is that I’ve been homeschooled since I was 9, and I feel like it messed me up for life. But I want to improve

I’m 42 and telling you that you can still change things even if you screwed some shit up before. It’s all about just starting to take the right steps and becoming the person you want to be.

I still can't understand why our parents and the school system don't prepare us for life.

I'm 23 years old, born with high functioning ASD, living with my parents, having no close friends, still working on my mental/physical health, and still don't fully know what I want to do with my life. And still a virgin. It sounds a little childish, and I sometimes feel ashamed of where I'm at right now, but it's alright. I still have time to figure things out before I turn 25. I'm still going strong. Thank you so much for the video. Keep up the good work!

Just turned 26 man.. Life's rough but I appreciate advice like this. Much love

I’m 19 and I have completed this cycle already. Now i feel so much more fortunate and hopeful in my life because u realized so many more people had to work super hard to get there. Wish me luck guys.

20. In a financial mess. Pray for me 🙏

20, and I’m currently in total shit guys, wasting my young years. I find absolutely no motivation in anything, it seems like everything is the same and nothing will change, I feel so small and impotent. But somehow hope is still exists in my head. And I’ll beat this cruel reality, we will bro, no matter what shit is up for us we’ll rip through it. Bright future is there for us!

I’m 23 and lost most of my youth due to severe depression. I’m currently in the path of recovery and can finally think of a future I’d like to live in. Thank you so much for this video :)

19 years old, working 30 hours a week, 2nd year in college 3.4 GPA on pace to graduate in 2026 as a finance student. In the gym every other day

I'm 22 and this is exactly what I needed bro, im so grateful

24 years old, started university a bit late but on track to graduate business in 2 years, have been working 40 hours a week since 19, no savings but a car and stable apartment life, this video really helped me man, keep going bros.

Im 28 n still trying to make my dream work. Too many things hve happened for me to give up now. I realise the bad things that happen are mostly lessons from the universe for you to better yourself so that you could reach your goal without being a dick. The challenges are less hard when you put urself in the growth mindset and esp when you are doing smth u love……no matter what, you’ll always wanna make it fking work. So i hope all this effort will come into fruition one day. And videos like this only keeps us going by grabbing each day by the balls n owning it hard. Thanks bro, your effort will not be wasted, deep sincere appreciation brother 💪🏻🙇🏻‍♂️

30 here. By now, most, but not all of my "friends" from high school have officially given up trying to better themselves. Its sad. I watch to remind myself there are people who are still trying to excel and be better, because these chaches from my hometown aren't it. Love ya Denmo, keep up the good word.

19 years old, I work 40 hours a week, I work in the medical field and I already invested over 2.5k within a year. I plan to do 5k the end of 2024. My mental and financial state is good. However I must start working out again.

I’m 22, still figuring out life like most of you out there. I’m just writing this for me as a remainder in 6 months to check the progress I’ve made so far, I’m tired of the mistakes I made in the last 4 years of my life. I recently decided to start college for a Computer Science program, started taking care more of my body, going to the gym here and there, I’ll test myself and see if I still keep these habits and improve 6 months from now, we got this! We’re all in here in our own journey💯

I was in a downward slope today and starting to slide further. With this video, you've completely stopped that momentum and I'm now back in the stratosphere where I belong. Thank you for your time and effort, Denmo, you're doing great work.

Im 23 and its crazy how much your early years can impact everything you laid out here. What got me through was the unbending will to game the system wherever possible. I refused to make my life anything less than what I wanted. Now im a dad, married to my highschool crush, have a masters degree, make six figures, got my own place, and have over 100k in retirement. Everyone here can do the same thing if you put yourself in the right positions by planning ahead, creating layers of backup plans, and eliminate the option of failure.

Just turned 32. Still listen to Denmo because he drops gems.

I’m a 24 yo woman and I realized I’ve had my mid life crisis at 21. The transition from girl to woman is beautiful

37yrs old and where was this video 15yrs ago?? Damn my life is kinda over but there is still small hope.

I’m 30 now. Wasted most of my twenties. Only started to wake up when I was about 28 and made changes. Still not where I want to be but going in the right direction. Greetings from Ireland Denmo! 🇮🇪

I never really fell for the whole school, work, wife and kids ordeal. Sure I wanted and have those things now, but I wanted it to be in my terms. No surprises. The plan was to be developing business skills while working whatever job paid enough to support myself comfortably. My life looked as if I was a complete loser to my peers because I lived at home still at 30. Little did they know, I was building something. So I’m 35. I’ve moved out with my fiancé. At my day job I make 50k and the business makes a little over 60k (up from 30k last year and growing). In 5 years I’ll likely have everything I’ve ever wanted. It just goes to show you that there’s no real blueprint or set way of doing things in life. As long as you keep in mind what you want out of your life. You’ll be fine.

Great video. I've been through a lot, and even been attacked for living well, but this video is so insightful and shows how normal a lot of these stages of life are.

I'm about to turn 20 and I'm so glad I found this video on my feed, I am used to go over life without any goals but a huge opportunity appeared for me this year, so if things get right I will be able to change my whole life. And this is precisely the path I will follow. Saved the video and see you next time in the classroom

36 and I'm starting to have a midlife crisis. Alone, both parents passed away so my safety net is essentially gone. I only just finally got a full-time job a few months ago. Never had a girlfriend, never bothered to try since they're all out of my league. All my friends moved out of state. I did finally get my driver's license a couple of years ago and have a car. I'm trying to get back into drawing again to get better at it to start making money off it.

27, and it is a lonely grind

I’m 26 and still living at my parents house. Work on my resolution to get a job that pays rent this year. I won’t let myself be held back any longer

I like that you have a free community. Thank you. I'm a guitarist and music is my life. I recognise that my life is not perfect though. I want to be a guitar teacher and travel the world because that would mean I'm doing what I love and I get to see the world! You present things in a way that is encouraging and instead of scaring the crap out of me and tricking me into feeling like a failure. ( There are plenty of videos out there using negativity to control people ) .. you are actually inspiring me and others!

21 and finally locking in with content creation and holistic health. Spent too many hours on overthinking and stupid ass dating apps 🗣️this vid is a sign. LETS LOCK IN BOYS💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

Cannot express how much I appreciate long form whiteboard videos. 19 by the way, I’ll be 20 in about 7 months. It’s also worth noting I live with my brother on our own.

I am 30, burned out, highly gifted and probably ADHD and this video deeply touched me. I finished my Bachelor in Math with 20 and went on a working holiday in New Zealand after that. Then Master, then another trip. After that I took a 9-5 in automotive, which was decently paid, but it bored me and felt like a prison. Then I started my PhD in Math abroad and - burned out. I thought that it was my absolute passion but I think I only liked it, because I am really good at it and people gave me a lot of confirmation to it. Which I needed because of my lack of self confidence. But to succeed in a PhD you have to burn for your topic. I never had a real girlfriend, even though I am a really good Bachata dancer (and a couple other dances). I would love to have some intimacy, but I am also struggling to really let go with girls. And do the next step. I can feel that there is deep passion inside me. Especially when I am dancing Bachata or playing improv theatre. Or playing piano. I still don't see a market in any of these fields. Or that I am good enough to make money anywhere there. I would love to try different things out online ... just to become independent from the location and be more free. Maybe there is a passion somewhere there. I am financially stable but not rich. I could live a couple years without any income, but eventually my money will be gone. And that's not what I want, because it should be invested to gain more freedom in the future. I still haven't given up my PhD but I feel like a have no choice but breaking out. This is killing me :/ I just didn't have the balls for it yet 😅 Maybe your motivational speech could change a lot ... If I had an advice to any younger people, especially very intelligent ones: Learn to trust to your heart instead of only listening to your head.

Oh so all I gotta do is fix my social skills and go to gym. I'm gonna be the happiest man alive

I'm 20, your videos are gold for me. Grettings from Peru!

17 and in road of building an empire

i loathe my algorithm for recommending this to me

I'm 23 and I feel like I'm wasting my life slowly... I'm trying to do the right thing... Thanks for making the video ❤

The one thing I would add is building a sturdy relationship with God. That’s where your confidence is derived from. That’s where you learn that having that one thing is more important than the rest. It allows you to take a risk on yourself and your dreams. My biggest regret was not realizing that soon enough or reading the Bible for myself before making prejudice judgments. It’s full of knowledge and advice that is imperishable.

The microphone is fine. Whats wrong is your room has too much reverb or echo going on. You can add drapes, curtains, soft furniture to dampen the sound. Or even get acoustic panels on your walls if you want to spend some $$ Thanks

I'm 23, lived most if not all of my life with depression and I finally beat it about a month ago. So yeah I would have loved to know back then what i know now, life without depression rocks.

im 32 and ive been depressed and suicidal the past few months over getting out of a bad relationship and being harshly rejected by a girl at work, my life feels stagnant and feels like it's going no where but I've been slowly changing by just making small goals like clean my apartment and having a major goal in wanting to pursue a career i like doing in a couple of yrs. Your explanation of being pressured in having a gf and a house was spot on and I feel like everyone in my family doesn't understand what I am going through. Just wanna say thanks for making this video to help me realize I'm not hopeless and theres a future for me.

I'm glad I started a business at 19. Don't waste your time, do what makes you happy, do something that helps you provide for your future family, effortlessly. Most importantly, don't listen to your teachers, listen to the people who are where you want to be.

I’m 22 and I legit followed a similar path during my 18-22. I got into a relationship in highschool and moved in with her after. Ended up dropping out of college and gained weight. After being cheated on for the 2nd time I snapped. Moved out and into a place with my brother. Life is stabilizing now, I’ve lost most of the weight I gained and I’m not afraid to be uncomfortable. Thank you Denmo, I thought for the longest time that I was alone in my struggle.

This is the realest thing I’ve seen in a while. I think you’re super genuine and no bs. Subscribed watch more of your awesome videos. Take care bro

I'm 19 yo, female. I'm not in college, i have no sense of direction on what i want to do. I barley managed to complete highschool and graduate. Now i'm just working a 9-5 trying to figure out what i want to do while i help pay bills.

29 and willing to make the rest of the year a blast. Greetings from Medellín, Colombia jack. A big hug and so much love for you my man.

I’m 24, 1 year left to “it’s too late”

in my 30's and would likely be considered a "failure" by most twentysomethings chasing the hamster wheel, but I've never been happier or more fulfilled and comfortable with who I am in my life. once you realize that damn near everything is a well-crafted yet thinly-veiled distraction from what _really_ matters in life, the truth will set you free. it took me my entire 20's and some of my 30's to fully understand this, but I'm glad I did. "wasting" your 20's is a state of mind and perspective. shift it, and everything changes.

Started working again at 24 (last year) after years of multiple chronic illnesses that started a year after I graduated. So many things to work on. But you know, you reminding us we spent 20 years of our life in school helps lighten the load off my chest. Meaning I have only spent 5 years, I should take it easy (different with being complacent). 3 to illness which affected my career and finances a lot and 2 to working (finding out my career path).

22, I like how straight to the point this advice is. I can tell you are speaking from experience. I'm entering a new part of my life (moving across the country to go do summer sales with my guys) and I couldn't be more excited to become independent and establish a brotherhood surrounded with like minded men working toward their goals.

I’m 26, and a financial analyst. Very accurate man amazing job. Some of the other things I’ve worked out but am guilty of wasting time to bs consumption including the dating apps. You’ve inspired me to once again get back on the free time productivity train, thanks!

Bro, I am turning 21. You don't know how impactful and entertaining your video is! Subscribed, liked and shared!

Too all the young bucks out there, listen up. DON’T GIVE UP!!

I’m 24 as of this writing; you’re a luxury Mr.Denmo, whenever you drop a video I just can’t wait to check it out. Best professor out there!; I do have some trials that I’m going through, but I know I can change and want to change, thanks Mr.Denmo!

As a 23 year old who became a sixth form teacher straight after graduating summer last year, I feel attacked. XD

im 17... turned 1 day ago actually...... alr guys time to grind.. all of us need to stick together and have each others back. keep up the good work

I believe more than having someone suggest to you how to live, it's up to you to go out and have these experiences yourself. Learn the hard lessons through your own doing. Take these "life ruining mistakes" in stride, if/when you make them. And work to achieve that ideal lifestyle which works for you (it's different for everybody).

I am 18, But I was already a lot since the age 6!!! I was funny as hell but some trauma change my life but since the age 15 I came back!!! Denmo you are literally a Legend!!!

I’m 25 I look forward to life, because there’s so much to learn in life ! Listening to this with intent and passion.

Thx so much man really appreciate this content. I'm 21 and I have been close to falling into this trap of 5 and 6 quite a lot of times but since i do have a grip of reality and my bad habits that I do and also have a good level of self-control, I haven't completely ruined my life in any way yet but have wasted some time that could have been better spent just doing the work i needed to do even tho I might have hated it. I reflect on every day of my life and what has happened. Everything said in this video is completely true and i'm about graduate from one of the so called 'best' universities with a data science degree which to be honest I don't enjoy completely but since it has good money i've been doing this degree. Another important point is life moves very fast so if you do make decisions in your life they have to be with commitment and with intent (you can't move at the pace you want in life which was one of my issues as well).

I like you man. Unlike other "youtubers" out there whom I find little phony and pretentious, I can sense your genuine, a man who really wants to give as much honest and genuine advice as possible, like a friend, a nice older brother

I'm currently 22 (soon to be 23) and really started to work on myself since I'm 18, some things started even earlier when I was 15 or so. When covid happened, I started to learn how I could make money online and acted on it as much as I could. I'm not at the endgoal yet, but still grinding and starting to see results! It really pays off working your ass off in something no one wants to commit to!

Honestly the best advice I got was from my English teacher he told me before i graduated that life will test u and destroy but don't give up just keep fighting no matter what

28 been watching ur stuff since last year! U always say helpful stuff in your videos! Im turning things around guys got my license and im starting my truck driving job on sunday! And this is just the beginning i want to do so much!

im 24yrs old, the best thing ive learned in life is you get out exactly what you put into anything, your life is yours and it always will be, the way you spend your life is 100% up to you and no one elses. as long as you're making strides to be a better person than you were yesterday, you're doing just fine.

Denmo, without your videos, I'd still be crying for my ex and live the rest of my life thinking I'd never find a girl who loved me like her. I'm freshly 21 and I'm trying to find purpose, your videos are an immense help to me

16 years old. Lost and broken. Took a lot of Ls in 2023. Not sure what I wanna do in the future.

15 year old female watching this!!! Trying to set my life up with good intentions and values. Thank you for the advice!

I'm from Brazil, i have 25 years, trying learning english and listing to advice.

The value in this video is absolutely incredible 💯

I’m 23 turning 24 soon. Working a corporate 9-5 job exhausted, living with my parents saving up though. Trying to work on side hustle to get into remote work so I don’t waste my life away commuting to and from an office.

Definately opend my mind on some of these things! Thx Denmo

What is this guy yapping about?? That he just discovered critical thinking?? BRO ONTO NOTHING 🔥 🔥 🔥 🗣️ 🗣️ DONT LET HIM COOK 🔥 💯 💯

Yo, I'm 23 right now(I'm turning 24 in August) and this might just be the best advice video I've seen. I constantly have that thought of"if only I knew what I know now back in secondary school or even in primary school"(for context, I live in the UK) and I honestly thought it was just a "me" problem, but knowing that it's actually a "men" problem gives me a sense of comfort because now I feel like I'm not alone and it actually gets me even more motivated to improve my life and find true happiness than I was before I hit play on this video. I'm super thankful I didn't decide to skip it or add it to my "watch later" playlist and then forget about it like I've done with the 20+ other videos I have yet to check out 😅. And I think it's worth mentioning that I haven't gone through the exact same experience as what you've described but I get the vibe that you're not saying that every man will go through this exact experience. That's not the point. My story so far might not be exactly the same but I have the same feeling of hopelessness regardless and this video captured those feelings regardless of the specifics. Thank you Denmo! As a 23 year old man, I've become even more motivated to improve my life🥰.

I’m 22 and I thank god that I have already been through rage and no social life. Because now I am enlightened about women and have great social skills

I'm 24, I'm working, I live alone, I work, CS and Cybersec student, and lately, I've been doing this kind of journey of self-healing, depression fighting, ADHD issues, and, idk why life keep showing me this type of content, but this makes me happy, and think about my current life and kinda the future. This is amazing content, thank you for taking the time for doing this. I wish more people find the value in this as I'm feeling I did today.

I’m 19. Aspiring fitness coach, I’m dedicating my life right now to education and figuring out how to become financially free. It’s rough trying to find the side hustle that works but I gotta keep pushing. Any wisdom from older guys is really appreciated. ❤

25 in 4 months. This scared the shit out of me. I started a PhD a while ago and am happy in that. I work out, i play music and usually have an “okay” classification of my free time. But i kinda want something serious at this stage. I want a serious girlfriend, not just the casual stuff i get. This motivated me to focus more on me and continuing to have casual stuff.

This video sums up my life so far. I'm in the Navy and I'd say I am at the fifth stage. Not enjoying being in but only staying in my comfort zone because of the amazing benefits, I feel stuck, not knowing whether to take the risk and get out or continue being in, hating my life. I got a lot of time on my hands trying to find ways to improve myself, and I just happened to stumble across this video. Thank you man, this was an eye opener.

I didn't ruin my life until I was 38. That's after it was already ruined by a corporation at 31

Just today I found this video. Just today the counselor called me in to talk. Good timing Algo. Thank you for spreading your knowledge and experience brother ❤

I turned 17 a couple weeks ago and I am very thankful that I found this video that early. Thank you Denmo🤝

I’m 50 and this is relevant. Period.

Crazy how accurate this is. I'm 22 and everything you mentioned is true for me. The only thing that is different is that I found a girl without dating apps and after she broke up with me I started to go on dating apps to fill the emptiness that she has created. Just because I never understood that its not her who fixed the hole. She was just filling the gap without making me happy longterm. But its hard to realize and accept that instead of just thinking that I want the person back or want to meet another girl who can fill the space instead of her. Its up to me to change that and I just have to realize that its just my self-awareness that holds me back. I just have to learn to accept myself internally as I am. In other words, accept the things that can't be changed. And at the same time work on the things that I can influence. I know that some other people feel the same way and I can only say: Never give up. It's never too late to work on yourself. It took me a long time to understand this myself and I had/have a distorted view of the world. But I will also never stop trying to change
