If anyone had told me that I was going to sit here for 24 minutes, listening to, enjoying, and actually being fascinated by, someone else’s career history, work ethic and philosophy, I would have said they were absolutely INSANE! I’ve just been inspired by someone younger than both my children! Wonderful video thank you Roman! 🙂

Two things that are going to lead to huge success that I see right off the bat: 1. You are extremely humble and 2. You are doing it out of passion and not for money. The money will come along with the success. Good luck from the US 🤙🏼

Good luck Roman! You’re doing what most people don’t have the confidence to do. I’m a project manager and do it for the pay cheque but when I go out and take photos in London (with my x100v) I feel this is what I should be doing. Having a family now I need the security so it will remain a hobby. All the best for your new venture!

I needed this today man. I’ve really been struggling with trying to do the “smart thing” and work a safe job but also find time to grow and develop in my music and my passions. I’m so happy that you’re at a place where you can pursue your craft full-time, and I hope to be there someday. Also, you inspired me to order my first camera (Fuji) and I’m excited to get it in next week! Cant wait to see what you do with this channel 👍

Best of luck man. Started watching your channel about a year ago (along with a ton of other street photo / pov type channels). And your's is one of the channels I still watch regularly -- it feels like you really enjoy street photography and you're making the videos about that and not geared towards whatever is going to do best on youtube's algorithm. Keep up the good work!

I wish you all the best. I love your videos, you are so down to earth and chill. You were the main I reason I bought into the Fuji system and I absolutely love it. Also bought your presets a while ago. Definitely enjoyed your workflow-type videos regarding file management, capture one etc. Do not think that this is boring as hell as I think you stated in that video, I think that is one of the biggest problems for (starting) hobby photographers. Greetings from Germany!

There is nothing like hearing a person's biography on how and where it has taken someone to reach the moment in time in which he or she found an inspirational meaning to enjoy life. We all often hear and feel the boredom of life because of a lack of creativity but when creativity becomes the reason to doing something it gets the attention of anyone seeing or listening to a podcast. I can relate to your video very well because I had and still have those issues in life. I definitely hope for you to keep on going and that it becomes a means to a purpose to bring you happiness and prosperity at the same time because of what I heard I subscribed to encourage the channel. All the best and looking forward to more of the channel, cheers.

So this brought back some memories for me. I had a business with friends and people were pulling in different directions. In the end, my mental health started to suffer (though I didn't) realise it at the time) and I decided to get the hell out of Dodge. I had personal bank guarantees which my co-directors gave me written assurances they had taken over. Turned out they hadn't and I spent 20+ years paying off a sum of money larger than you mentioned by working all hours in jobs I hated. The day I owed nothing was a great day. Now living in Thailand, 66 years old and making up for the "lost years". All the best in your venture, I'm thinking it will work out fine.
