I'm sleeping like a homeless, eating 1 meal a day (60 pack of noodles in one month already), trying to replace all my food with water, riding a bike 17 miles rather than buy a car so I could save up some money to go to college. My life is in hell but I will not give up, I'm pursuing my dream. I want to become a M.D and with that dream, I'm willing TO DO ANYTHING! Your Vid gave me an big encourage after a long day.
@@aytay2051 No u, sharing one's life is not attention seeker, going against that is. Just wait till the moment you struggle in life and even don't have the guts to share it.
Strad is another one of the few TH-camr's who is genuine and really put in hard work on his own to be successful. Always happy to see him reach his goals.
Brother that was an awesome video probably the best and most real video I've ever seen from you congratulations on from where you came from. It's true never give up on your dreams
man, this story is kinda sad, but it's also inspirational, because it just shows that no matter how bad things get, if you're determined, you WILL succeed. and that's a really powerful message to put out to millions of people. people who sometimes doubt themselves, and feel like failures, you never truly fail until you give up. you never abandon your dreams, because with enough motivation, and determination, and hard work, these dreams can become a reality. i can't wait to see the Gallardo and Gladiator 6x6 return to the channel! that's gonna be exciting!
This Video was HANDS DOWN the best and most meaningful one you have ever made in my opinion. Coming from a person who has gone through similar situations in pursuit of a dream, heading you talk about the struggles you went through in the road to success hit me right in the feels. Pushing past the moments of doubt, the emotional exhaustion, financial hardships, etc. is what separates those who will truly make their dreams come true versus those who most likely won’t. Big up for the Stradman 👍🏽🙂
Wow... I will never EVER regret clicking on this video! Already was watching your videos while I was younger but never knew the full story behind everything. You are such an inspiration for so many people and deserve every bit of succes you are having right now 👏🙌🙏
He started from the bottom by homeless, living in a Audi TT,now he's here by living in a lavish lifestyle in a Bugatti and a epic mansion keep it up Strad and John Cena 20 years phrase "never give up"
you have one of the craziest "started from the bottom" stories ive heard (other than maybe tall guy car reviews), especially seeing where you are now. you have been through way more than every other car youtuber who were born rich and their parents paid for their cars to get their start. thats why you have the best channel
Damn man. I remember seeing that “lambo at 26” video years ago. Refound your channel on accident when browsing for Supra content. Loved this story. Earned my sub. Not that you need it anymore :)
still keep coming back to this, whenever I start to lose my mind... but then I remember your story and it's just so inspiring that I have to get back up.
Unlike most who fast forward, skip around or just switch off while watching TH-cam vids... I too watched it straight thru. May GOD bless you too TaurusBlood.
As an OG sub I had to come back and watch this video again. Honestly James it's one of the best inspirational talks I've ever witnessed. As a 62 year old I recall when I was full of adventure and being a little uncomfortable, taking a change, even a big one, to gain something was worth it.
This is the real Stradman not the one we see most of the time. Yapping about things he loves. Saying "Views upon views. Once it's gone it's gone." To all haters and lovers alike I LOVE STRADMAN!! 😍
This motivated me so much James. I'm in a similar situation myself, 23 and with a huge love for cars, I'm working on building my YT channel around modding my M5. So great to see where you've come from and all you've achieved. True inspiration!
You need to be a motivational speaker. Im 45 years old and you inspired me to start perusing things that i should have a long time ago. I watch all of your videos but this particular one i have watched multiple times. Im very proud of you and happy that you made it bud
It's crazy because I used to see Stradman's beverly hill videos of supercars, Never knew it was him. He used to be pretty much the only one filming supercars in beverly hills. I'm glad you're successful. And Yes, It's always better not to work for someone, Do it for aslong as you need to stop doing it.
Thanks so much Stradman.....2018 was a rough year for me.....Tried the entrepreneurial path...took a bunch of L's, but your story kinda got me back on my feet!!
Alfa oh I recently started a new career at age 40 that paid 12$ less than normal income and I can’t be happier. Yes the $ sucks goat balls but the reward of waking in the morning excited to go to work is a tremendous game changer. Wanna add that my enthusiasm is paying off and the promotions keep coming. Best of luck. Best advice it to push yourself w every breath
After this video: He has sold the R8, wrapped the aventador purple, added many more mods, and bought 3 more cars: a Ford focus RS, Jeep gladiator, and a Toyota supra and is now going to buy a Corvette c8 and might buy a new huge dream house. He has spent lots of money on some of those new cars. Always remember to pursue your dreams!!!
Pursue Dream: How come 1.9 million subscribers has that much money...He is doing something else and he is just lying to make the video as motivational video.
I absolutely loved this video James. I'm glad you took the roads you did and made the choices you did. I started following your channel when you had less than 100k subs and one of the first videos I watched was just before you did the snowball Rally with DDE and Vehicle Virgins And others.
I am so glad the you made this video. I have a reason to live. I was in a very dark place in my life and I’m glad you have given me a reason to show that if there is life there is hope.
There are lots reason to have hope. Start small and do small, positive things. Ask if you need help. You are more important than you know. Ditto, Royale Collab.
@@opemilekanadesunloye351 Ahh damn bro thank you very much man really apperciate the congratulations guys and yes my job as a father is a big step into life
James I love your channel. You are amazing. Your content is SO entertaining. I have been subscribed for 3 years. Never give up. Also if possible upload more frequently.
Strad you are one of the reasons I got to where I am today man. I recently just got a job as an Engineer for a PowerPlant close to my home town and my next step is becoming a professional poker player and this video has always opened my eyes that moving to the next step is very possible with hard work , dedication and most importantly a love for the craft .

You are a rarity. A young kid with a goal an the determination to get it done. I been here since about 4 videos before the layoff. So keep it up an beep beep the haters an let it keep on ripping.
Total respect dude, when I started watching your channel I assumed that you had an easy life and just had easy access to cars. Now seeing this I'm so happy for you and glad it all worked out and was clearly worth it!!!
So inspiring and I thought my life was bad this guy started from living in his car and then owning a Lamborghini and other supercars now that's amazing
Well James, you certainly are on your way to achieving the ultimate dream!! Life isn't easy or free. My life has had so many bad things happening that any normal person may give up! I had a severe tractor trailer accident in August of 09 where I did flat line, but obviously here I am. In that accident my neck was broken in two places, my left shoulder was completely messed up and my left knee was caught in between the steering wheel and the door. I had my neck fused and my doctor told me to take ibuprofen with my pain medication which made my stomach burst. While I was being transported to the hospital, I flatlined again. So since my accident I have died twice, had my neck fused ,lost my biceps in my left arm and had my left knee totally replaced which still isn't right to this day. With all that has happened, I'm still here and refuse to give up. I love life too much, even struggling financially, I don't know the word quit. I may not know where my next meal will come from, but by God I am going to keep going! God Bless James, I love the vlogs!! I hope someone reads my story and it helps them to keep fighting!!
Update 2023: He’s built his dream house, he’s got a girlfriend, he’s got 2 Aventador’s, a Murcielago m, Bugatti, 10 other super cars, and he’s living his best life ❤
The Story of Living In my Audi TT to buying A Bugatti Veyron. Inspiration 10/10 Btw This Guy used to freak out after Seeing a veyron, and Now He has One. Congrats man
Stradman I only just started watching you. I'm 29 years old and I live @ my parents. I have an IT business that does just well enough to get me by. I can pay my bills and buy a 6 pack or two on weekends. I always assumed you were one of those rich boy youtubers. And hearing this not only makes me have so much more respect for you but gives me hope. Most days I feel like a failure. I'm damn good at what I do and I really dont want to be where I am right now, in fact I hate it. I'm doing all I can to change my life. Hearing how many times it took you to get where you are gives me more hope for myself. Ive watched this film 5 times now and I wanted to thank you. I was considering giving up.
Don't give up. Similar situation to yours. I was building a marketing company while living with my girlfriend in her Grandparents' house. She broke up with me and kicked me out about a year ago. I just recently had a breakthrough with my business. I am finally making the kind of money I deserve. I took me six years to get to this point and I feel like I won't find my true success until the 10-year mark. When you push through with a good idea, you are destined to find the success you deserve. Don't give up. BTW, I'm 30. It takes time to make your dreams a reality.
The most important thing that makes you succesful is that every single failure is a step to success. If you fail no matter how many times, you always get closer to your goals. Keep doing it bro.
wowkomooth2101 It’s important to keep pursing your dreams. That said, that is a fine line vs pursuing the means (to an end). Sometimes people get too attached to a particular model, and doesn’t realize need to iterate (the model) or pivot (the direction). Stradman here shared the story behind ONE reiteration, which is that first Lambo. He fast forwarded idk how many more reiteration, and we only saw mentions of HK, Dubai, etc., but didn’t get the details behind those “how am I going to afford a frigging international flight when this Tube thing is barely keeping the bills paid”. I can only imagine how the decision behind the first major international trip going back & forth in his head. Keep fighting hard. Don’t give up on your dream. But be open to reiterations & different approaches.
Very inspiring, James! This is a message so many of us need to hear- especially young people , but old people too (I'm 61). Thanks so much. Blessings, Bob
Brilliant and inspiring. I never said this when this video came out, but I’ve been watching your videos for a while. I’ve enjoyed seeing your work turn into your dreams, and shall continue to do so. Well done, James.
I’ve been watching this channel for well over a year and this is the best video I’ve ever seen. Even better than all of the venenos and all of the Dubai trips
Wow 100% best video I have ever watched good job I loved the story. I have been subscribed since you had 400,000 subscribers and I did know most of the story but not all of it.Keep up the good work.
I’m only 12 years old and this was very motivational for me, as my first car I want a Nissan Skyline r32 gtr, bright red and black rims, my mom knows a lot about cars and she said I wouldn’t be able to pull it off but I will remember this video when I get older so I can get my dream car. Thanks for your time
I don't have anything to say but i have seen your success man from less than 100k to 1.2M and i still watch your videos with the same enthusiasm keep up the good work man and bring the drone montages back
Just watched your other living in tt vid last year! (The one where you fixed the fuel pump) It’s amazing to see how far you’ve come man! Keep inspiring, you’re amazing.
“Sometimes in life , you don’t give up and you don’t sell the Lamborghini” ….. man those words alone are all the motivation I need , thank you so much .
Motivation man, i'm hitting a low in life myself lol. Don't know what i truly wanna do with life. But watching videos like this helps keep me going. Keep doing your thing and living life bro
I’ve been watching for over 2 years and it’s crazy how much you have grown this channel. I’m just a kid but this story encourages me to follow my dreams
Hey James, just wanted to send you a shout. My name is Josh and I am a combat vet diagnosed with PTSD. I've been a subscriber since damn near the beginning of your channel and definitely part of "the like squad". I wanted to say thank you!! Needless to say, I've had some dark days; but your positivity, enthusiasm, and passion for what you do has helped me on more than one occasion. Keep living your dream
Suddenly got this as recommendation. Seriously you've come a long way strad, I just saw your video with custom white interior to your widebody Aventador and then this one! Absolutely fascinating journey you had
Mann, there needs to be more motivation in the existence of life itself. Hearing your story takes me back when I was on the streets in my S10 and no one knew as I made it an incognito lifestyle but I never gave up on myself. Chasing a dream is one way of describing it but for me, just seeing myself make it in life was motivation and stayed solid till this day where I have my house, wife, and 2 beautiful daughters, I can say I made it. Life is limitless, you CAN do anything you put your mind to. How bad do you want it?
I am an OG subscriber. This video is 2 years old and I still keep coming to it. It's amazing what people can and will do to follow there dreams. Props to you James. I love you so much and you have inspired me to follow my dreams which are similar to yours.

Stradman I only just started watching you. I'm 29 years old and I live @ my parents. I have an IT business that does just well enough to get me by. I can pay my bills and buy a 6 pack or two on weekends.
I always assumed you were one of those rich boy youtubers. And hearing this not only makes me have so much more respect for you but gives me hope.
Most days I feel like a failure. I'm damn good at what I do and I really dont want to be where I am right now, in fact I hate it. I'm doing all I can to change my life.
Hearing how many times it took you to get where you are gives me more hope for myself.
Ive watched this film 5 times now and I wanted to thank you. I was considering giving up.
Don't give up. Similar situation to yours. I was building a marketing company while living with my girlfriend in her Grandparents' house. She broke up with me and kicked me out about a year ago. I just recently had a breakthrough with my business. I am finally making the kind of money I deserve. I took me six years to get to this point and I feel like I won't find my true success until the 10-year mark. When you push through with a good idea, you are destined to find the success you deserve. Don't give up. BTW, I'm 30. It takes time to make your dreams a reality.
wowkomooth2101, as an IT business owner, go MSP and never give credit, MOFOS go out of business and almost take you with them.
Good on you man , do what you love and hopefully you get the best in life 👍👍😁😁
The most important thing that makes you succesful is that every single failure is a step to success. If you fail no matter how many times, you always get closer to your goals. Keep doing it bro.

It’s important to keep pursing your dreams. That said, that is a fine line vs pursuing the means (to an end). Sometimes people get too attached to a particular model, and doesn’t realize need to iterate (the model) or pivot (the direction).
Stradman here shared the story behind ONE reiteration, which is that first Lambo. He fast forwarded idk how many more reiteration, and we only saw mentions of HK, Dubai, etc., but didn’t get the details behind those “how am I going to afford a frigging international flight when this Tube thing is barely keeping the bills paid”. I can only imagine how the decision behind the first major international trip going back & forth in his head.
Keep fighting hard. Don’t give up on your dream. But be open to reiterations & different approaches.
And that’s why The Stradman is the best TH-camr
Ryan Majors no.
SaleenE34 yes
Very inspiring, James! This is a message so many of us need to hear- especially young people , but old people too (I'm 61). Thanks so much. Blessings, Bob
Hi bob
Brilliant and inspiring. I never said this when this video came out, but I’ve been watching your videos for a while. I’ve enjoyed seeing your work turn into your dreams, and shall continue to do so. Well done, James.
I’ve been watching this channel for well over a year and this is the best video I’ve ever seen. Even better than all of the venenos and all of the Dubai trips

Ill never forget this!!
Soo much respect for stradman he is so humble and amazing
I’m only 12 years old and this was very motivational for me, as my first car I want a Nissan Skyline r32 gtr, bright red and black rims, my mom knows a lot about cars and she said I wouldn’t be able to pull it off but I will remember this video when I get older so I can get my dream car. Thanks for your time
I don't have anything to say but i have seen your success man from less than 100k to 1.2M and i still watch your videos with the same enthusiasm keep up the good work man and bring the drone montages back
Just watched your other living in tt vid last year! (The one where you fixed the fuel pump) It’s amazing to see how far you’ve come man! Keep inspiring, you’re amazing.
Hi jthunter327

I’ve been watching for over 2 years and it’s crazy how much you have grown this channel. I’m just a kid but this story encourages me to follow my dreams
Hey James, just wanted to send you a shout. My name is Josh and I am a combat vet diagnosed with PTSD. I've been a subscriber since damn near the beginning of your channel and definitely part of "the like squad". I wanted to say thank you!! Needless to say, I've had some dark days; but your positivity, enthusiasm, and passion for what you do has helped me on more than one occasion. Keep living your dream
James, that video was very real and awesome! You have a cool story, thank you for sharing!
This is called determination.. damn..
Suddenly got this as recommendation. Seriously you've come a long way strad, I just saw your video with custom white interior to your widebody Aventador and then this one! Absolutely fascinating journey you had

@@lmfaol.o.l4403 agreed
This gives everyone motivation to achieve their goals i have watched it several times and this is a motivational story
There is jus something abt this dude that makes me feel kinda emotional
Thank you for this video.
I still remember your the video owning a lamborghini at age 26. You are very strong boy.
Me too that was his first car video. I remember it a while back
joemchang Yeah I remember watching that when he first posted it and then he got fired soon after.
Mann, there needs to be more motivation in the existence of life itself. Hearing your story takes me back when I was on the streets in my S10 and no one knew as I made it an incognito lifestyle but I never gave up on myself. Chasing a dream is one way of describing it but for me, just seeing myself make it in life was motivation and stayed solid till this day where I have my house, wife, and 2 beautiful daughters, I can say I made it. Life is limitless, you CAN do anything you put your mind to. How bad do you want it?
This is so powerful.. I’m so happy for you Stradman... I love to come to your channel to make me feel better! You’re amazing!
lol, I have .53¢ in my bank account...
Edit: .63¢*
LMFAO compound interest baby

I subbed because I want you to succeed even more.
