much love and respect towards you and chucky the future bald guy.......lol......he looked better when he was younger...i hope i dont lose my recently painted blue hair lol......
Love both your channels !! But I realized neither of you had covered the compTIA a+ stuff . Are either of you going to do educational content for it? Or do you have it on one of your websites?
It's awesome to see a Christian in the tech space. Seems that the tech industry is full of athiest's and if u try an speak about any thing less than being an athiest u get punished for it. Keep it up Network Chuck with the Believing the world need's it. (edit) wow just listend to the near very end Great to hear Mr. Bombal is a believer as well. please feel free to drop small hints in all your videos about your belief's again like i said the world need's it. Thank You both...!!!
Let me tell you what the take I got from this video, David you are the best at what you do and Chuck is the best at what he does with both being in contrast to each other, but when you both come together, then there is a huge discussion to think about. The word "discussion" here refers to "scared"....lol
Three years ago I was a high school English teacher; now I'm a cybersecurity analyst. I watched SO much of David Bombal and Network Chuck as I started my IT journey and was seriously considering networking for my career niche. And now as I'm about to launch my YT channel to help others, both of you continue to be inspiring mentors. Thank you both for helping me take those initial steps, it's radically changed my life!
@@hamiddjb6708 I started my journey with Google IT Support Certificate (on Coursera), but the "CompTIA A+" was the cert that helped me land my first job. Professor Messer has free videos for the A+, so that's a good place to start.
I saw your post and was gonna joke "please make a toutube video" about your journey, but you are doing that haha. I am six months into a cybersecurity analyst learning journey and am very curious how you went about it.
@@johnkaimana Congrats on making the move yourself! The videos will slowly roll out over the next few weeks. I'll answer any questions you have if you ask them in a comment in that video I linked (or you can OSINT my email and ask there :)

My three favorite TH-cam hackers: David Bombal, Chris Greer, Network Chuck! It's just so much fun watching you guys! You guys have the ability to explain complex things and make them look easy 😎
The story of how Network Chuck enter the world of IT is super interesting. I was a photojournalist, during Covid I resigned from the newspaper. I went to study A+. I found a job in the second line of networks and after a few months I joined a SOC team.
I managed to land a web developer position here in Fresno for $30/hour after getting my Associate degree in Web design a couple years ago. You just have to work hard, network hard, learn everything you can and you will get there. I love my job. I do marketing and design as well and love it. And I used to be a truck driver that was wrongly convicted of Vehicular Manslaughter and served 11 months in prison for something I didn't do. Edit - full time position 8 hours a day Monday through Friday. Praise the Lord.
@@victorwarner319 I plead No Contest after 3 1/2 years fighting it from Fresno to LA. They took away my CDL too so I lost my entire career in truck driving, so I went on welfare and back to school. I finished my AA in Web Development and then plead No Contest right before the trial started for 11 months instead of if I lost - 11 years. My lawyer told me it was impossible to tell for sure what happened and if we possibly lost I could have gotten the max sentence and if we wanted to win I would need an additional $30K for an Accident Reconstruction Specialist which I definitely didn't have.
I am so glad you finally had Network Chuck on. I am a software Engineer, but Network Chuck makes me want to get into Networking more. He is great, and one of the few "teachers" who actually keeps me interested
I took a pay cut for the job I have right now. I have been a Network Engineer for almost two years, and the raises are good. In five or six years, I expect to be paid much more than I would be if I stayed working as a machinist. I am glad I did it. Somedays, it is stressful to help every person with their computer problems. The expectation is you know everything. But over time, you eventually start to see everything, and you get comfortable fixing everyone's issues.
1:48:10 Talk fast, move slower! That's @NetworkChuck 😄 Amazing content, David! One of the best videos I have ever seen. Thank you for having NetworkChuck on your channel! I like the way you 'push' your guests, btw 😊
Man... I don't know if you'll ever see this but the last couple of years were really hard and you two helped me so much in gaining the skills I need to leave my retail job and finally be able to apply for a job in the cybersecurity field which I'm currently in so...Thank you. Please keep doing what you do.
Has been a long long time since seeing both of you. Amazing content. David Bombal and Network Chuck, you are the people who inspired me into this beautiful and challenging journey I've started in 2017 😊 All the best for both of you! 🎉
I got a family now and had to give up sailing and living on a boat even though that was the only life I knew for 10 years. I'm so stoked about learning IT, like Keith said, providing for my family is a great motivator.
TOTALLY agree. The IT industry is amazing! The problem is the entire industry is well below the pay/underpaid. Most of the companies are looking for engineers to do things that a sysadmin with experience can do.
You guys inspire me. I’m in my early 50s and am a geek that wants to get into networking and ethical hacking, but first and foremost I’m a Christian. Thank you for the content you both provide..
David, we would love to see more stories and journeys from tech experts. I have personally witnessed a clear path of what self-learning looks like from this video. Thank you
I’ve been watching you both for several years and I am a big fan! Definitely two of the best channels on TH-cam! The content you guys produce is a huge blessing. Thank you, both!
I love the fact that Network Chuck is proud to declare that Jesus can be your guiding light, and he is right if you don't delegate your time properly, somebody or something else surely will! God bless man, Ill be in touch for sure!
It's been a few days and I tell you Network Chuck has rekindled my love for IT; he makes learning so fun and the way he teaches is easy to follow. Thanks, greetings from me here in Uganda
I honestly see Chuck and David as my old good friends back when I was starting my CCNA and needed some motivation and see things from another perspective. I don't see your content as much as I used to but both of you guys videos were kinda of a blessing in my early days
Thank you!! David and NetworkChuck!! This was a phenomenal video in many ways. Thank you for sharing your values and your faith - truly inspiring. I am a physician with a long interest in tech - self taught and have learned much from you both.
😊 Thanks you guy's for your channels and amazing contents, you truely communicate your love for IT and entertain us while learning too. Love your work and keep it up your each style ❤.
Fully agree to the “another working for free, working for knowledge”. Same for me in my early career in IT, lots of learning by not leave after 8 hours. Did also studied accounting and tax law while working which gave me great foundation in the area of IT I worked the last 30 years in. And love keep learning …
Network Chuck...... I thank you from deep down in my heart! You have taught me so much cool stuff to add to my 20 year IT pro career! Thanks Chuck.... Savvy..From SA.
Thank you to both of you, IT legends, for sharing your invaluable insights and advice in this video. I learned so much and found it incredibly motivating. Your knowledge and expertise are truly appreciated!
I am new in the IT world and love both of your channels! I have always wanted to be a youtube but the introvert in me has stopped me from doing so. This video has inspired me to start creating videos. I truly believe that regurgitating is a great way to learn material you're struggling with. Thank you to you both for the content you put out, it has helped a lot while starting in a new field! This video is what I needed to make a change for the better!
There is something I enjoy about both David and Chuck, they are genuine and it is best to be your true authentic self. I picked up on both your channels during lockdown and both of you and your guests have taught me ALOT. Thanks to you both I can spin up servers, crack into Linux, have Tor nodes including a Tor relay and a yet to be much improved onion portfolio site (using a template generated by Chuck). I am learning Python, refreshing my learning on C, and getting into javascript, picking up HTML and CSS. I have started doing free qualifications in cybersecurity. This isn't my main job and it is great to learn these skills. I work in Industrial Controls so the cybersecurity for ICS and SCADA really interests me.
This video came out, and I watched it till the end, without pause. I want to thank Both of you, for making content for us!!❤ This video Is a huge help and motivation right now! Keep it up guys!❤
A thing I had to learn about career paths. You can achieve a lot without taking the traditional Junior-Senior-Supervisor-Department Manager etc path. That's a management route that society says you do to succeed. In IT, you can do well by pushing in many other areas, Cyber, architecture etc. took me a long time to realise that.... You can get to CTO, and not "manage" people.
I strayed from religion most of life until recently I started turning to the lord and scripture to help free me from me. Knowing that both of my IT heroes love the bible is just awesome!
David & Chuck if you read this MY DREAM is to be with you guys! I want to work for free ANYTIME!!! It always sounds extreme but you guys saved my life! If i did not have this community i would not be alive. In many ways i see you as living super heroes that give me purpose. I wish i could just have a chat with Chuck & David because you guys are the people i look up to! I wish i could tell you guys so much i cannot write in comments.
My two favorite Networking /Hacking advocates in one place… Very Cool!!! Thanks for all you guys do to try to inspire people to consider and take steps to seek careers in the IT, Pentesting…. That’s a scary prospect with all things going the right way, not to mention a bad day. You both possess a genuine sincerity towards helping people learn and succeed that is apparent in every video you release. That’s a really rare quality. Thanks for all you guys do!!!
im in the process, as we speak, to switch career. ive been in my current career for 15 years. im 36. dont let people downtalk you. you dont just attract kids. im thankful for having access to both of you to hold my hands in these crazy times lol
Such a good video, been in the net since mid 90's, finally shyly making some content on twitch and upload to youtube for now. Will slowly work on most of these tips, much appreciated to you both!
Finally the best on TH-cam Collaborating, I Love It. You guys have both taught me a lot, and inspired me to get me certificates, to be able to get my foot in the door for a major IT firm in San Francisco. I hope to share my journey when I achieve my goal. Thanks You too!! 🎉
Its awesome what you guys do, teaching others what you love is a definitely a passion for you both and it shows. Thank you for sharing it with us. But for me, both of you sharing your faith, it means a lot more. I encourage you both to continue doing what you love, and I know you both will. God bless you guys and be encouraged
This guy is amazing, I meet him in the parking lot of microcenter in texas, he was so welcoming just to say hi, I was I a rush however he and his team were cool!!!
Wow pretty cool talking about religion rarely seen any tech people do that. Mostly they just focus on IT and a bit of life. Pretty awesome you are willing to put that in your videos!
I have being following David and chuck, till my car is name off chuck " Chucky trek" this is how I enjoyed seeing ppl from the same field to encourage others of the journey from the sun to the moon. I am willing to reach the sky wherein I can journey through space as I past you guys.
I just love Chucks engagement and David his engagement is very good too. My problem is I can't study in a book my issues is hands on and finding the person that I can shadow is the problem for me. When I live in a small town. Keep up the hard work you two ❤
Two Old IT Friends one with beardforest and another beardless come together with great experience. Sorry, Just kidding...... B/W Thank you for sharing your experience in such a depth and delightful ways.
Great collab. I have learned a lot from you two guys. Thanks! I like the fact thar David is asking too many things about everthing. Every question, doesn't matter how simple it sounds, leaves nothing out. He squeezes as much as he can out of his guests so that we can all learn.
where i live ,now, their are very late in I.T , im trying to push this A.I tool around but they got old mentality and its hard , so i did a website ( repair phone and computer shop to start own my own doing my own money....i think this video suits my path right now.....thanks a lot master's im glad to follow you guys and learn so much and i mean i learn fast ,speed of light fast.....i'm not certified and one day maybe i will be certified but i dont need...i think and i know i was born for this.......only god knows....
Hey, you've gotta check out this video from start to finish in these crazy fast times we're living in. Seriously, if you're in IT or looking to kickstart a career, this video is a must-watch. David and Chuck are the absolute best - they've got some seriously awesome content going on here!
You guys are both so inspirational to me and so many others on TH-cam. Please don’t stop being you. You both have unique training techniques but they work for you and that’s why you succeed. Keep up the great work and keep the brilliant content coming.
I started my cyber security journey thanks to both of you! I'm still a starter and learning about linux more and more every day, otherwise I have a fair good knowledge about pc's and networks :D don't ask how I managed to skip Linux. Right now I'm working as a project manager in a globally known corporation but I'm trying to divert my career toward cyber security. I've been actively networking and learning about the industry and even joined an association of industry experts here in Finland :D Thank you guys for your awesome content!
This was really really interesting. More of this sort of content please. :) Also, mentioning title and thumbnail importance at 40:29. My notification said for this video said "Network Chuck Hacked" before it cut off the rest. Even in my tab on my desktop it says the same thing. Completely different than the quick moment of 'Oh No' I felt seeing the notification. :)
Both you guys are awesome! Explain everything so simple and making it fun to learn!! Keeps me motivated to continue my own journey. You should team up to make a simple course getting started in TH-cam!!
Hey David, thank you very much for making such video. In this era, every content creator is shifting toward creating short content and that is the trend nowadays. But that is somehow impacting human psychology, taking their patience away. To be honest I am also addicted to consuming that short content like instagram reels. When I looked at timestamp before watching the video, I thought I am not gonna watch this till the end. But my view changed when I started watching it, got so much to learn from inspiring life story of you and chuck, and time just passed away like it was a few minutes video. Again thank you ao much for creating such content ❤️
I learned so much from this! Great conversation. I love how Chuck referenced Ali Abdaals book and channel. I learned so much from Ali’s channel when I first started making videos. It is nice to see other cyber TH-camrs learn from Ali too. Hopefully my channel grows as big as David’s and Chucks!
unbelievable!! After almost 2 hours of chatting it remains productive, you both create good content. even though they don't always show what you want to see. Watching this video all the way through gives me more motivation to continue. thank you guys
I started out on Chuck and David and it grew from. David's channel is like a hub for what is moving and a must know. Chuck's videos are inspireing and will send you off to a flying start. Can't thank either of you enough for all the hours of fun I had from watching your videos. KUDOS!
Guys! I really loved this video, thank you so much, it is so resourceful, I don't know why but I got emotional on the part suggesting "The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry", made me reflect, I need to slow down...Again, a big thank you!!!
So inspirational! I've thought about making techy/hacking videos on youtube, but seeing the level of most other tech related youtubers and how much they know makes me think I'm not good enough yet to start making those types of videos. This video is making me more confident and perhaps I might start making tech related videos.
Nothing wrong to make content that has already been done,you know how many times I have searched a topic and then I go through a few videos until I end up with one that explains it much better,in a way I understand 👍🏼
HAK5 was pre TH-cam and my favorite source. Many of us had to learn it from books. Or whatever reference we had access to. Even video and audio editing. I have done little by little over the many years. All on my own learning this or that process. But my experience is IT but my degree is electronics engineering.
Network Chuck hacked the TH-cam algorithm and has one of the best tech TH-cam channels! We can all learn so much from him and his journey. From selling toilets to millions of TH-cam subscribers. Learn from one of the best!

My level in english is low, but when I see a Networkchuck's video I achieve to understand a 75 per cent, this the level of this man for to teach.
chuck is a really good speaker, every word he said is clear and easy for us to catch. and he always explain everything easily.

I finished my AA in Web Development and then plead No Contest right before the trial started for 11 months instead of if I lost - 11 years. My lawyer told me it was impossible to tell for sure what happened and if we possibly lost I could have gotten the max sentence and if we wanted to win I would need an additional $30K for an Accident Reconstruction Specialist which I definitely didn't have.

The key thing there is people sharing and helping each other.
Find something that isn’t a chore
Keep learning
Thank you both for sharing your journey, I really enjoyed this. Keep doing your thing, much respect!
I am so glad you finally had Network Chuck on. I am a software Engineer, but Network Chuck makes me want to get into Networking more. He is great, and one of the few "teachers" who actually keeps me interested
Great video! I'll be watching it after I finish my own TH-cam video that I'm recording today! Great to see both of you guys together!!
We can both learn a lot from Chuck! Make both our videos better! 😀
Squatch is the Flipper king
Network Chuck was my inspiration to change my job to Networking, and thanks to him I was able to find David's channel. Both of you are amazing!
I took a pay cut for the job I have right now. I have been a Network Engineer for almost two years, and the raises are good. In five or six years, I expect to be paid much more than I would be if I stayed working as a machinist. I am glad I did it. Somedays, it is stressful to help every person with their computer problems. The expectation is you know everything. But over time, you eventually start to see everything, and you get comfortable fixing everyone's issues.
1:48:10 Talk fast, move slower! That's @NetworkChuck 😄
Amazing content, David! One of the best videos I have ever seen. Thank you for having NetworkChuck on your channel! I like the way you 'push' your guests, btw 😊
The master of networking strikes again! Chuck's expertise never fails to impress. Ready to uncover the secrets.
Was waiting for both of you to see together ❤❤🎉🎉
Bro
I hope you enjoy our conversation and learn a lot!
Man... I don't know if you'll ever see this but the last couple of years were really hard and you two helped me so much in gaining the skills I need to leave my retail job and finally be able to apply for a job in the cybersecurity field which I'm currently in so...Thank you. Please keep doing what you do.
Has been a long long time since seeing both of you. Amazing content. David Bombal and Network Chuck, you are the people who inspired me into this beautiful and challenging journey I've started in 2017 😊 All the best for both of you! 🎉
Thank you! So happy to hear that 😀
This is like seen Mom and Dad talking and getting along after years of divorce!!! You are my favorite IT guys in the world
I got a family now and had to give up sailing and living on a boat even though that was the only life I knew for 10 years. I'm so stoked about learning IT, like Keith said, providing for my family is a great motivator.
TOTALLY agree. The IT industry is amazing! The problem is the entire industry is well below the pay/underpaid. Most of the companies are looking for engineers to do things that a sysadmin with experience can do.
You guys inspire me. I’m in my early 50s and am a geek that wants to get into networking and ethical hacking, but first and foremost I’m a Christian. Thank you for the content you both provide..
David, we would love to see more stories and journeys from tech experts. I have personally witnessed a clear path of what self-learning looks like from this video. Thank you
I’ve been watching you both for several years and I am a big fan! Definitely two of the best channels on TH-cam! The content you guys produce is a huge blessing. Thank you, both!
BEST interview EVER! 2 of my favorites in this industry. Can you PLEASE invite Hacker Loi as well? It would be a BOMB of interview
Just started this one but I totally agree about Hacker Loi! Underrated skills and sense of humor.
I love the fact that Network Chuck is proud to declare that Jesus can be your guiding light, and he is right if you don't delegate your time properly, somebody or something else surely will! God bless man, Ill be in touch for sure!
It was Amazing!!! Thank you David Bombal and Network Chuck for this amazing podcast, it really helped me to gain knowledge about different stuff.
NetworkChuck is one of the inspirations that pushed me towards networking and cyber security. I love both of your work.
It's been a few days and I tell you Network Chuck has rekindled my love for IT; he makes learning so fun and the way he teaches is easy to follow. Thanks, greetings from me here in Uganda
I honestly see Chuck and David as my old good friends back when I was starting my CCNA and needed some motivation and see things from another perspective. I don't see your content as much as I used to but both of you guys videos were kinda of a blessing in my early days
Thank you!! David and NetworkChuck!! This was a phenomenal video in many ways. Thank you for sharing your values and your faith - truly inspiring. I am a physician with a long interest in tech - self taught and have learned much from you both.
😊 Thanks you guy's for your channels and amazing contents, you truely communicate your love for IT and entertain us while learning too. Love your work and keep it up your each style ❤.
Fully agree to the “another working for free, working for knowledge”. Same for me in my early career in IT, lots of learning by not leave after 8 hours. Did also studied accounting and tax law while working which gave me great foundation in the area of IT I worked the last 30 years in. And love keep learning …
Network Chuck...... I thank you from deep down in my heart! You have taught me so much cool stuff to add to my 20 year IT pro career! Thanks Chuck.... Savvy..From SA.
david and network chuck you my one of favorite channels!!! thank you for your passion and hard work!!!' 😮❤❤🎉
Learned a lot from this bearded coffee merchant, keep it up chuck 💪
Love seeing 2 of my favorite youtube hosts on the same podcast and finding out you guys go way back is pretty rad
Thank you to both of you, IT legends, for sharing your invaluable insights and advice in this video. I learned so much and found it incredibly motivating. Your knowledge and expertise are truly appreciated!
My two favorite TH-cam creators together again, thank you! 🎉❤❤
agree!
Hands down the best interview yet. It has taken me three days to watch it but I watched every second.
I am new in the IT world and love both of your channels! I have always wanted to be a youtube but the introvert in me has stopped me from doing so. This video has inspired me to start creating videos. I truly believe that regurgitating is a great way to learn material you're struggling with. Thank you to you both for the content you put out, it has helped a lot while starting in a new field! This video is what I needed to make a change for the better!
Great interview! And thanks for the mention!
🎉awesome seeing u guys on the screen together
There is something I enjoy about both David and Chuck, they are genuine and it is best to be your true authentic self. I picked up on both your channels during lockdown and both of you and your guests have taught me ALOT. Thanks to you both I can spin up servers, crack into Linux, have Tor nodes including a Tor relay and a yet to be much improved onion portfolio site (using a template generated by Chuck). I am learning Python, refreshing my learning on C, and getting into javascript, picking up HTML and CSS. I have started doing free qualifications in cybersecurity. This isn't my main job and it is great to learn these skills. I work in Industrial Controls so the cybersecurity for ICS and SCADA really interests me.
I appreciate you both immensely! Thank you for being:)
As someone with a small tech channel on TH-cam and working to grow, this video is awesome! Learned a lot from this video!
This video came out, and I watched it till the end, without pause.
I want to thank Both of you, for making content for us!!❤
This video Is a huge help and motivation right now!
Keep it up guys!❤
I took a few breaks(during watching), I watched this an hour after it was posted.Both make very GOOD CONTENT!😃🎉
started 4 yrs ago, and must say , i learned so much with both of you
Both of you guys are great 👍
Appreciate everything you do.
A thing I had to learn about career paths. You can achieve a lot without taking the traditional Junior-Senior-Supervisor-Department Manager etc path. That's a management route that society says you do to succeed. In IT, you can do well by pushing in many other areas, Cyber, architecture etc. took me a long time to realise that.... You can get to CTO, and not "manage" people.
I strayed from religion most of life until recently I started turning to the lord and scripture to help free me from me. Knowing that both of my IT heroes love the bible is just awesome!
David & Chuck if you read this MY DREAM is to be with you guys!
I want to work for free ANYTIME!!!
It always sounds extreme but you guys saved my life!
If i did not have this community i would not be alive.
In many ways i see you as living super heroes that give me purpose.
I wish i could just have a chat with Chuck & David because you guys are the people i look up to!
I wish i could tell you guys so much i cannot write in comments.
What a amazing statement from Chuck. thank you David & Chuk.
My two favorite Networking /Hacking advocates in one place… Very Cool!!! Thanks for all you guys do to try to inspire people to consider and take steps to seek careers in the IT, Pentesting…. That’s a scary prospect with all things going the right way, not to mention a bad day.
You both possess a genuine sincerity towards helping people learn and succeed that is apparent in every video you release. That’s a really rare quality. Thanks for all you guys do!!!
watching from India Love you both!!!!
im in the process, as we speak, to switch career. ive been in my current career for 15 years. im 36. dont let people downtalk you. you dont just attract kids. im thankful for having access to both of you to hold my hands in these crazy times lol
Such a good video, been in the net since mid 90's, finally shyly making some content on twitch and upload to youtube for now. Will slowly work on most of these tips, much appreciated to you both!
Finally the best on TH-cam Collaborating, I Love It. You guys have both taught me a lot, and inspired me to get me certificates, to be able to get my foot in the door for a major IT firm in San Francisco. I hope to share my journey when I achieve my goal. Thanks You too!! 🎉
NICE INTERVIEW ! networkchuck and david bombal got me into cyber security 3 years ago..i will be jumping into youtube real soon !!
Hats off to everyone who has 6 kids and free time to drink coffee and make videos 🖖
Thank you both and be Blessed and Successful in all your actions. Salutations from France.
Its awesome what you guys do, teaching others what you love is a definitely a passion for you both and it shows. Thank you for sharing it with us. But for me, both of you sharing your faith, it means a lot more. I encourage you both to continue doing what you love, and I know you both will. God bless you guys and be encouraged
This guy is amazing, I meet him in the parking lot of microcenter in texas, he was so welcoming just to say hi, I was I a rush however he and his team were cool!!!
Wow pretty cool talking about religion rarely seen any tech people do that. Mostly they just focus on IT and a bit of life. Pretty awesome you are willing to put that in your videos!
I have being following David and chuck, till my car is name off chuck " Chucky trek" this is how I enjoyed seeing ppl from the same field to encourage others of the journey from the sun to the moon. I am willing to reach the sky wherein I can journey through space as I past you guys.
I just love Chucks engagement and David his engagement is very good too. My problem is I can't study in a book my issues is hands on and finding the person that I can shadow is the problem for me. When I live in a small town. Keep up the hard work you two ❤
WOW Network Chuck looks super young 10:00 and indistinguishable from what he looks like now your aging gracefully Chuck way to go!!!
Here you are beautiful soul family Keep going and Keep shining like a star ✨️ 💛 🌻 💞
Thank you both for helping us all, such an inspiration. Thanks for all your service.
You 2 were a great inspiration from me switching from truck driving to IT !
Two Old IT Friends one with beardforest and another beardless come together with great experience.
Sorry, Just kidding......
B/W Thank you for sharing your experience in such a depth and delightful ways.
Great collab. I have learned a lot from you two guys. Thanks!
I like the fact thar David is asking too many things about everthing. Every question, doesn't matter how simple it sounds, leaves nothing out.
He squeezes as much as he can out of his guests so that we can all learn.
where i live ,now, their are very late in I.T , im trying to push this A.I tool around but they got old mentality and its hard , so i did a website ( repair phone and computer shop to start own my own doing my own money....i think this video suits my path right now.....thanks a lot master's im glad to follow you guys and learn so much and i mean i learn fast ,speed of light fast.....i'm not certified and one day maybe i will be certified but i dont need...i think and i know i was born for this.......only god knows....
Hey, you've gotta check out this video from start to finish in these crazy fast times we're living in. Seriously, if you're in IT or looking to kickstart a career, this video is a must-watch. David and Chuck are the absolute best - they've got some seriously awesome content going on here!
I love this guy! Chuck is a wonderful story teller and his message of putting in the hard work is timeless!
I am a subscriber to both your TH-cam channels. I have learned so much from you both.
You guys are both so inspirational to me and so many others on TH-cam. Please don’t stop being you. You both have unique training techniques but they work for you and that’s why you succeed. Keep up the great work and keep the brilliant content coming.
Thank you so much!!
Two of my favorite cybersecurity / technology channels in one video. Thank you for the wonderful insights.
I started my cyber security journey thanks to both of you! I'm still a starter and learning about linux more and more every day, otherwise I have a fair good knowledge about pc's and networks :D don't ask how I managed to skip Linux. Right now I'm working as a project manager in a globally known corporation but I'm trying to divert my career toward cyber security. I've been actively networking and learning about the industry and even joined an association of industry experts here in Finland :D Thank you guys for your awesome content!
God is Good, thank you for sharing your light with us!
This was really really interesting. More of this sort of content please. :) Also, mentioning title and thumbnail importance at 40:29. My notification said for this video said "Network Chuck Hacked" before it cut off the rest. Even in my tab on my desktop it says the same thing. Completely different than the quick moment of 'Oh No' I felt seeing the notification. :)
Both you guys are awesome! Explain everything so simple and making it fun to learn!! Keeps me motivated to continue my own journey. You should team up to make a simple course getting started in TH-cam!!
I was going to say God Bless both of you but I think God has Blessed us with both of you.
Thank you for the great work
God Bless both of you
Hey David, thank you very much for making such video. In this era, every content creator is shifting toward creating short content and that is the trend nowadays. But that is somehow impacting human psychology, taking their patience away.
To be honest I am also addicted to consuming that short content like instagram reels. When I looked at timestamp before watching the video, I thought I am not gonna watch this till the end. But my view changed when I started watching it, got so much to learn from inspiring life story of you and chuck, and time just passed away like it was a few minutes video. Again thank you ao much for creating such content ❤️
David and Chuck are on my TOP five IT learning TH-cam Channels🎉
You both are my most watched youtubers, I'm happy to see you two together, thank you
Thank you! We appreciate it!
I learned so much from this! Great conversation. I love how Chuck referenced Ali Abdaals book and channel. I learned so much from Ali’s channel when I first started making videos. It is nice to see other cyber TH-camrs learn from Ali too.
Hopefully my channel grows as big as David’s and Chucks!
unbelievable!! After almost 2 hours of chatting it remains productive, you both create good content. even though they don't always show what you want to see. Watching this video all the way through gives me more motivation to continue. thank you guys
I am very happy to see both in a one platform ❤ thanks both of you you are the best in my life as well thanks a lot 🙏
I started out on Chuck and David and it grew from. David's channel is like a hub for what is moving and a must know. Chuck's videos are inspireing and will send you off to a flying start. Can't thank either of you enough for all the hours of fun I had from watching your videos. KUDOS!
Love that! Thank you for sharing! And all the best for your journey!
adding to your engagement JUST to help get Chuck's story out to more people
Guys! I really loved this video, thank you so much, it is so resourceful, I don't know why but I got emotional on the part suggesting "The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry", made me reflect, I need to slow down...Again, a big thank you!!!
So inspirational! I've thought about making techy/hacking videos on youtube, but seeing the level of most other tech related youtubers and how much they know makes me think I'm not good enough yet to start making those types of videos. This video is making me more confident and perhaps I might start making tech related videos.
the collab i loved the most, learn a lot from you guys thanks for your time and efforts
Nothing wrong to make content that has already been done,you know how many times I have searched a topic and then I go through a few videos until I end up with one that explains it much better,in a way I understand 👍🏼
It was Chuck travel router video that led me to you david. My two favourite IT youtubers. keep up the good work
HAK5 was pre TH-cam and my favorite source.
Many of us had to learn it from books. Or whatever reference we had access to.
Even video and audio editing. I have done little by little over the many years. All on my own learning this or that process.
But my experience is IT but my degree is electronics engineering.
