Most beginners believe that investing in crypto and stock is all about holding till it rises, with the recent activities in the market and recession. We should know that long term price predictions are very difficult to achieve. Its better to trade short term and make profit.
Victor Sweeney is not just a funeral director, but a family man, an historian, an artisan, a keeper and steward of memory and a quite lovely human being.
dude, that money is way more than I make lmao....and the typical working adult in the US makes about $55k a year, with younger adults often making less than that at like $24k to $32k. So no, it's not like the guy is working slave's wages here....
Okay but the sheer joy and happiness in his voice when he says “My wife likes me and my kids wait for me to get home every day” and he just sounds 100% fulfilled with life and I wish I had that kind of energy
I think he's an excellent example of a successful person. He's not in a career for the money, status or power but because it gives him purpose and he genuinely enjoys it. Thanks for sharing your story, Victor!
@@Morgan-yl3ou Thanks for your comment. I was an English major in college and I never used it but have no regrets, though I considered college instruction. I met my wife in college and have four grown kids. I'm struck by the thought that academia is a dog-eat-dog arena.
Looks like a Stauer Dashtronic. Very reasonably priced for an unusual movement (has one hand that stays stationary with 2 moving dials to show the time.)
8:16 Just hearing Victor say, “If you want to play Super Smash on Monday, if you want to come, Chris,” made me smile. Knowing from his videos with Wired that morticians can be faced with some of the most mentally challenging and taxing sights and tasks anyone could endure, seeing that side of him where he talks about video games and hanging out with his friend is awesome. Mad respect to this gentleman and what he does for his community.
Funeral assistant, undertaker, and mortician in training here! Victor has inspired me so much about what it means to be in this industry. Though Australia and America have a few differences, he's absolutely right in terms of the kind of people that work in this industry. We're a close-knit community, and all share the same values. It's an incredibly rewarding experience.
Dang. I learned a WHOLE LOT watching this 9 minute video about life and this dude. You can tell he's the perfect guy for the job and more than that, HE LOVES his job and LIFE. What more could you want out of life?
When he was talking about unmarked graves it hit home for me. My husband and I lost a lifetime friend to Covid over three years ago. The hospital wouldn’t release his body to us so we could bury him,, he had no close family alive, so we found out where the city buried him. We had a marker placed because everyone deserves a marker so other people know that person existed. RIP Guy. You are missed.
It takes a special person to work in such a humbling and sensitive role with every person you meet. Someone has to do it, I'm glad he's getting paid well for it. It's also a reminder that since death can happen at any moment it's important that you get your affairs in order. I'm not telling people what to do but life insurance, even if term instead of permanent is a very wise decision so you don't burden anyone with whatever you have going on in your life.
Two things: this is a recession proof business, since he said everybody will die. Secondly, I guess you could say that people are dying to get in. Thanks I am here all week!!!!!!
People don't realize what a mortician has to go through sometimes. Friend of mine told me a story about working for a funeral home with a older guy and he said that his co-worker has seen some pretty horrible things and has been through so much ,but yet never showed any emotion.... until the day that they received two twin toddler girls. He said that guy just fell to his knees and started crying. Everybody has their Breaking Point
Children are the hardest services to handle. I work in an industry that is heavily involved in the funeral world and I've also been to the funeral of twin babies. They are devastating. I recently had to handle a situation which involved the service of a 12 year old boy who passed from brain cancer. I cried for over a half hour afterwards.
@dareal5401 That situation was outside the norm for my industry. I'm also on the more empathetic end of the spectrum. That doesn't change the fact that the death of a child is more emotionally impactful than others.
I honestly feel incredibly discomforted and overwhelmingly sad in funerals but honestly is people like Victor Sweeney that are a light on such hard moments. I’m Mexican, were close to the day of the dead and I don’t see death as the end, I love putting the ofrenda but funerals, it takes all my strength to be in them and all my love for the deceased person is what gives me that strength, I shall discuss this with my therapist.
I’m only minutes into this and I’ve ascertained a couple of things. This man is an excellent communicator. He’s very effective at making his point with no extraneous bs accompanying it. He’s passionate about what he does. He lives, breathes and loves it. He speaks very frankly about death and is comfortable with it. I’m fascinated by that, because, me - not so much … either way thanks for your service and for sharing this part of life we all will deal with.
This guy is probably the best figure CNBC Make It has ever featured. He doesn't make as much as the others, but he seems to be living a fulfilling and meaningful life. We need more examples of people like him to be featured, not always about people who make 6-7 digits where money is the only benchmark in life.
Really enjoyed watching this; you can tell he is content with his life and being of service to others while not only thinking about money, a very refreshing attitude to have .
Victor I am 30, not much younger than you. You embody the kindness of Fred Rogers in a way that is lost among our generation. May you always find happiness with your life and family. You are truly doing selfless work.
That's what you call VOCATION. He isn't in for the money, but for the service he provides. That's what can actually make you happy. Thank you, sir, for helping us see things under a different light!
I think this is why depression is at all time highs, people don’t hate their work they hate their jobs meaning they’d happily do their work but in a way like this guy gets to do it.
I found a job that like that and I am grateful everyday that I'm not stuck at that office job anymore. I make less now but even my worst days are better than my very best days at the office.
Wow. This man is everything. Thank you for your service to grieving families and friends. Especially thank you for giving the deceased dignity, grace, and the honoring of their life they deserve. We need more humble people like you.
Had the pleasure of interviewing him for a story I wrote on the casket business. He was great to talk with and CLEARLY had a deep passion for this work
Love Victor's Q&As on Wired...Thanks for spotlighting him here. He might just be the mot successful person you've ever featured. We should all be so fortunate.
In highschool one of my classmates in my psychology class had her father who was a mortician speak to our class. He was well dressed and very well spoken.
An exceptional person. Embracing the human side of the job than a higher paying corporate version of it. Wishing him to always be fulfilled in what he does. It's really inspiring to know that there are people like him around us still in this fast tracking world.
I can imagine that the funeral industry is a calling and those who believe it as such will always be the ones with a human touch. Thank you sir for all you do
As a seminary student who is training for ministry, this man's work is 100% priestly, as is his approach to it. Not all priests wear collars, but the work he does is absolutely his calling from God.
@@manager4409 The fact that u wake up again. And just not disappear into the nothingness. I think religion was created to make people believe there would be life after death, a second life if i may say so. Thats how i believe mankind waged wars for thousands of years. A higher power. If u knew there would be nothing to fight for, u would try save yourself and not risk your life. Im a non-believer. I fear death so much, fact. It is just the end. Period.
Isn't that wonderful when we call tell that someone loves Jesus by how they live. They are a living testimony and that is kind of rare. I hope to be this way.
@manager4409 There is no threat to make one be coerced into believing. That's an odd way to see things I think. You either believe or you don't. The choice is yours to make. The Christian teaching is that there is a consequence to rejecting God but that's not said to be a threat. It's just what happens if you choose to reject God. Does that make sense?
When i've grow up dead was literally hushed up especially to us children, so my real first dead person was (with 19) my beloved aunt and it shocked me so much that I developed a strong fear of dying. A time ago i saw another vid of Mr Sweeny in which He answered questions from the internet, since then i'm delighted (and that's a first) to see him talking about his job bc he does it with passion, respect, empathy and humor. It's not that my fears went suddenly away but now, little by little, i start to look more into that topic and i really think that Mr Sweeny definitely had something to do with it. Thank you for beeing a great human being!
I’ve been seeing him so much over the last few months. It’s nice to see a more personal interview with him. He seems like a great person to work with during such a hard and difficult time.
Never heard anyone sound as fulfilled and satisfied with life as he sounds truly a happy man at least outside looking in and the way he has made all these videos to help educate people on the process of death and make it maybe less scary for them is amazing love this dude and his passion for what he does and the love for his community he has
He is fantastic: it understands things on such a simple yet deep level. I agree with everything he said. He seems to have a happy life. His wife is happy. His kids are happy. They wait for him to come home.
This guy is a living storybook character. I would love to write a book about him, he seems so earnest, trusting, and honest. Good old Minnesotan. We love you Mr. Sweeny!
A guy I went to school with, pretty much my whole life, is the son of a mortician. His dad owns at least a couple funeral homes in our hometown area. Literally no one was surprised to find out John went to school to follow in his father's footsteps. John was the kid who was friends with everybody and could make anyone laugh and smile when they were feeling low. I haven't seen or spoken to him since we graduated high school back in 2005...but I'm sure he's awesome at his job and helping greiving families smile or laugh again.
Can I just say I respect this man so much for the fact that he will come get the person any time. My family member was in his home for hours before the funeral home opened. While my grandmother was sitting with a cop in her living room. It still breaks my heart knowing she had to go through that.
He's so calm and sincere. It's comforting. My junior year of HS, we took some test and many of us were told we'd be wonderful morticians. That has to be a calling I believe. Mr. Sweeney definitely seems to have been called.
I LOVE that this guy is getting the recognition he deserves, he truly is the internet's favourite mortician. What an incredible man that just genuinely loves his job! 🥺 Wish he had some socials where we could keep up with him or something because he's so informative and just genuinely fun to learn from but also respect he likes to keep his personal life private. Hope he's doing well! Also, still can't get over how fitting his name is for his occupation. 😂 It's also truly incredible how he goes out of his way to make gravestones for unmarked graves. What a wonderful guy!
I've seen Mr. Sweeney's interviews on numerous other outlets as well. He's incredibly respectful of the decendent, in acknowledging the life they lived. He clearly respects the entire process while supporting the grieving families. Mr. Sweeney's demeanor is such, that I'm not at all surprised to find out that he intended to become a minister. But it's a little surprising that spotlighting a personal quality of enjoying an accolade now and again felt like a disqualifier to him (a pat on the back for a job well done is all that keeps some of us going at times). Nonetheless, he couldn't have chosen his life's work any better. Such a credit to his profession.
I'm very happy for him, his family and his community. A decent living and a happy normal life. Sad that this is lost dream for most. I wish we could all be so blessed with purpose and a good modest life.
One of the things that worry me about death is being forgotten, or dying in a way or place where my family can’t find me or know what happened to me. So to know this man is not only compassionate to his current clients but also making an effort to give the unknown people in the cemetery a way to be remembered is touching💙
I had a really close friend die a while back and even though I was shattered to pieces (and I still am if I’m being honest) she looked so lively and beautiful in that casket. I really do appreciate morticians for giving people that last bit of dignity and grace on their last journey
This man is really the internet's favorite mortician.
I can't think of a name more fitting for a mortician than Victor Sweeny
Him and Caitlin Doughty!!!

I like him. He seems very self aware and humble and kind. That’s true success.
He’s kinda hot
That's true, He seems very intelligent for his job.
My friend is a mortician. His views on death are so comforting. Takes a special person to do this job and I'm grateful for guys like then.
That a good take on it my take is theres a level of beauty in death it highlights how the final chapter of the story is at a end
This guy should be a professor or something he seems like a good teacher.
Maybe during his retirement when he’s gotten too old to carry & inspect bodies, I’m sure that’d be good for him
Let's be real, he's too good to be a prof
No ..not a professor

I've seen Mr. Sweeney's interviews on numerous other outlets as well. He's incredibly respectful of the decendent, in acknowledging the life they lived. He clearly respects the entire process while supporting the grieving families. Mr. Sweeney's demeanor is such, that I'm not at all surprised to find out that he intended to become a minister. But it's a little surprising that spotlighting a personal quality of enjoying an accolade now and again felt like a disqualifier to him (a pat on the back for a job well done is all that keeps some of us going at times). Nonetheless, he couldn't have chosen his life's work any better. Such a credit to his profession.
HE LOVES HIS JOB AND LOVES HIS BOSS. Did that speak volumes in anyone else? Who wants to be in the same place right now in their own profession?
The only way we can truly celebrate life is by honoring and respecting death, and this man does just that beautifully.
I know it’s in Minnesota but he deserves more money
Agree, but what can you do? Every country is different. You know?
So much love and respect to you Victor! ❤ Thank you for your service and sacrifices
What a beautiful overview of a career that many find repellant. I'm glad for him that his life has such purpose and that he has a loving family.
What a lovely human being. Respecting life and living his authentic purpose. Just wonderful.
Dying doesn’t scare me. Dying unhappy is what scares me. Always be happy, laugh, and love. No room for anger or hate in our short lives.
I'm very happy for him, his family and his community. A decent living and a happy normal life. Sad that this is lost dream for most. I wish we could all be so blessed with purpose and a good modest life.
One of the things that worry me about death is being forgotten, or dying in a way or place where my family can’t find me or know what happened to me. So to know this man is not only compassionate to his current clients but also making an effort to give the unknown people in the cemetery a way to be remembered is touching💙
And the perfect name for a mortician. Victor M. Sweeney, perfect
I had a really close friend die a while back and even though I was shattered to pieces (and I still am if I’m being honest) she looked so lively and beautiful in that casket. I really do appreciate morticians for giving people that last bit of dignity and grace on their last journey
He spends his spare time creating headstones for unmarked graves. This human is a gem in a world full of rocks.
