Totally get it bro. You have been SUCH a blessing to this 55 year old that thought I couldn't make the shift into IT. Praying for you and your family, but realizing what a blessing YOU are to us!
Dude... I'm not going to lie. You motivate a lot of folks to learn about technology and have a career to support their families. Keep doing what you're doing.
@Myork I work in technology and I still gain so much insight on things tbh of course there are times I might not be interested the subject but I still appreciate that content for the folks who might be looking or even searching for that sort of knowledge. And you know what they say.. knowledge is power. So he's out here making us stronger 👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏
Been watching your channel for about 3 years now, loving every episode. I never commented till now, I just want you to know that you are appreciated. You're making changes in peoples lives (that you don't even know), you inspire and impress. Push people to be more. You've awakened a IT passion in me, forcing me to sprout. Thanks Chuck
Took the words out of my mouth. I changed career paths from the Brewing Industry 3 years ago and decided to pursue my bachelor's degree. I not only look forward to every new video you put out, but you have been a substitute in many of my classes to understand my class work better. Your teaching style is my learning style. Please don't stop creating content. You have been a grace and an inspiration in my hard times (losing a loved one). I am on track to get my bachelor's degree this May. Much Love.
As an IT professional who regularly struggles with burnout, I've found your videos to invigorate the passion for tech I felt as a youngster. From reading other comments on this video I know I'm not alone; there is something about the enthusiasm you bring that is rare. Keep on keeping on, and I'm sure you'll continue to inspire, thanks!
VAMOS ARGENTINA CARAJO! Somos campeones del mundo! Really glad to see you wear our football team shirt Chuck. Love your videos and I hope you keep doing them! Happy 2023
You've motivated me to study, learn and be passionate about technology. 8 years ago I was at a dead end job, but always knew I wanted to be in IT. Now I'm a Network Engineer living the dream and taking care of my family. Can't thank you enough. I hope you have a wonderful 2023 and beyond!
Thanks for all the content you have provided, people you brought on the show, and the lolz. I've currently got Python understood, Linux +, and now I'm working on Net +. After this it's Security+. I'm going into a Blue team field late this year with a job lined up. I want to say thank you for the inspiration and motivation. Hope things work out for you Chuck.
Dear Chuck, i know your feelings REALLY well... as a creator myself i know very well how intense and hard is the youtuber life. People don't understand that behind the camera there is actually a REAL PERSON that has his problems to deal with. I'm happy to say that your channel inspires me every day and your contribution to the society is concrete and useful for everyone. Keep up the good work, i'm with you :)
Chuck, please don't quit. I'm not sure you realize how many people your videos help. Don't be afraid to take us along with you as you work on things. You don't need to wait until everything is finished and perfect. We can all learn with you as you make mistakes, and have successes. Regardless, do whatever you must for the health and happiness of you and your family.
Dude, first TAKE YOUR TIME! We aren't going anywhere and will be here waiting for your new content; it makes it that much more(?) special. I was in the Air Force in the past and I understand the difficulties of becoming a manager. The military provides us training for it, but it's completely different when you're actually doing it. Take it slow, you have a good crew who will support you and provide you the guidance you need. Listen to their ideas, be open minded and go from there. Remember, to be a good leader, you have to be a good follower first. Listen to them if they say "whoa, slow down boss", do it. It's a new chapter for you, slow down, breathe and enjoy it. We love you man! We will be here for you.
@ElvenJustice especially for us old guys that were exposed to excessive noise when overseas. Because of the background music sometimes I just have to turn on CC and read what is being said.
Exactly right about listening to your crew, friends, family you never know where a good idea or advice could come from. My dad before he passed away always said you have 2 ears and 1 mouth. Listen twice as much as you speak. Very wise advice that’s helps me very day.
I wish there was a love button. Thanks for being honest and vulnerable about the reality of being a content creator, a husband, a co-worker and a child of God. Thank you for what you do and how you share your passion with the world.
As a father myself, I don't know how you do it...with 6 girls, constant videos, editing, etc. Definitely an inspiration, keep up the good work. Being a dad is not an easy job, but I want to just say you're doing great and keep your head up. That said, I've learned so much from you and I'm glad you didn't quit!
Dude, 2022 sucked for me as well, having to retire at 56 on medical grounds. On a more positive note, I became a Grandpa 😁. Being a fellow beardy and coffee drinker (Nespresso) and budding IT nerd ( at my age), life is a roller coaster. Keep doing what you are good at. You make informative and entertaining videos.
Thanks Chuck. All the best in 2023. Your videos are inspiring and I have learnt a lot from them. Living your life on TH-cam is tough so make sure to spend plenty of time with your family and friends. Once you have your backend systems up and running it will be interesting to hear what you have learnt in getting to that stage.
So sorry you have been going through all that. So thankful for your channel. I'm an IT professional and you inspire me to grow. I LOVE your videos and the way you take complex topics and break them down and make them simple and fun. Always keep the fun and thanks for all the hard work behind the scenes. Anytime I get someone asking me where they can learn a specific IT skill I send them to your channel 90% of the time. Yes, we need to see the behind-the-scenes occasionally too. So glad you are prospering!! You deserve it. May God continue to bless you!
Managing people itself is an art. Going from yourself to 5 on your team is a huge undertaking. Not only you anymore, you have 4 family members to think about and consider on top of your own family. Love watching your vids and learning from you. Your charisma is off the charts and your passion for IT is a super power. Keep it up!
Chuck never forget how awesome you are and how many people you've inspired. Take some time to look out for yourself. I hope you get everything sorted out. I know you will!
You have been one of the greatest inspirations for me over a long period of time. I have started my TH-cam channel just last year and I do not have many subscribers either, but your video tutorials keep me motivated and push me to make better content every time. If someday I lose hope of TH-cam and quit, I wish to come across one of your videos, because that's all it is gonna take to encourage me to get back on this platform and share knowledge with all the learners.
Watching this, reminds me of how similar people are to each other, no matter how we think we're so different because of problems or talents or etc. Glad to hear you didn't quit bro, carry on strong as ever. Take breaks when you need to, because the world could use more personalities/visionaries like yours.
Thanks Chuck for the years of great videos. I started watching your videos when I was an aspiring IT professional and I'm now a SysAdmin/DevOps engineer. Keep doing what you're doing
I think adding the occasional live stream would be a great way to stay “grounded” and possibly be a therapeutic session where Chuck can let his beard down, fire up a pot of Network Chuck coffee and just chat amongst his fellow nerds. Vent if you need, laugh if you need and gain valuable live feedback while at the same time letting the content create itself. Hang in there Chuck…the burnout is real. Blessings on the new addition to the fam. The greatest gift of all!
Chuck- This is probably going to echo similar to the other 1000+ comments but I hope this finds you and lifts you up and brings you a smile. I started watching you around the beginning of Covid and I don't think there's a single video I've missed since. The energy you convey with the technical material is amazing and infectious. So infectious that I harnessed you as motivation to land a new job in Q4 of 2022. Kept thinking to myself: WWCD - What Would Chuck Do? I ended bringing a lot of enthusiasm/positive energy and even physically showed off my Pi NAS that's based on your own YT video. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today. Let us, the viewers, give back, thank you, and refill your coffee pot with these comments. Here's to 2023.
Thank the Lord that you still on youtube. Network Chuck got me back into loving IT again, I just setup my own home network, building my own little self-hosted website and it all started one day when I stubled onto one of your videos. When I struggle, search Chuckl!! I Love your energy, honesty and i qm sure ill love your Coffee as well. LOVE Coffee!! You are blessed and we who watch your channel are blessed to have you!! You inspire and I only hope the best for you in 2023.
Man, I'm glad you didn't give up. I discovered your channel last week and it's basically all I watch. 2023 didn't started so great for me, but watching your videos makes me feel good, motivated to learn, to become a better dev and better at IT in general. Your content is great! I'll be around for a long time!
Thanks, Chuck for the update and the sincere transparency we really appreciate it! Can't wait for all the exciting things that you will display for 2023! Congratulations with you new addition to your family!
Thank you for sharing!! I have learned a lot from you already. Your teaching style makes it fun. I am the IT guy at work that everyone goes to first, and if i cannot get it, i call the advanced people. Take whatever time you need to get things done, and I'll still be here learning from what you have already put out. You rock...so keep rockin. :) and 6 girls?? Glad you are still operational!! :) All the best from here in Maine.
Thanks for enduring through 2022. I really enjoy your videos. They are so packed with info that it is almost overwhelming. Truly God has blessed you, and will continue in 2023.
You've always been an extremely uplifting and motivating force for me in my IT career, you helped me embrace my enjoyment of coffee into a passion which then fueled long late nights of hard work studying to become a better more well rounded knowledgeable individual.
My man your videos make me happy, I fall in love with networks, subnetting and you CCNA videos are just awesome. Keep going, never settle, we need you, and more people like you. Thank you for all the effort.
It's amazing how you kept producing videos during all of this. If you ever feel like you need a break, never hesitate to just stop making videos when you need it. You are an example to all of us, you always have been.
Thank you chuck for creating this videos, I’ve never learned from any TH-cam teachers before cuz usually I sleep off while watching… but your energy, has kept me going!
We love you Chuck, you're like a father I never had. We're all lucky to have someone as passionate as you teach us these subjects. They can sometimes be so daunting you wanna quit, but your excitement keeps me going. Thanks for everything.
Thank you for all your content, you're a big reason I'm starting down the path of cyber security. I already had an interest in coding and have started learning Python recently. Hey do you have any secret sites to get a RaspberryPi I want a Raspberry Pi 4 8GB but all the sites Raspberry Pi pointed me to are sold out lol. Again, thank you for everything you do bud, I hope 2023 is wonderful for you bud with less burnout and unfinished projects 😊
Chuck keep up with the awesome work man! Don't push yourself and try to take time off when you need to. As for the mistakes, it is what it is, they belong to the past. Wishing you all the best for the new year! Health and happiness to you and your family!
Chuck you motivated me into becoming a network engineer. Just a few years ago, I was dabbeling in IT trying to find my way but when I stumbled across your videos in 2019 and saw how passionate you were about networking, i knew that is what I wanted to do. And although on a daily I am reminded on how much more I have to learn, I still thoroughly enjoy what I do. And I have to give credit where credit is due, it is because of you that I was able to find a passion in networking. Know that regardless of where you may think you are falling short of, you are having a massive impact on all of us and the IT community. Keep your head up, youre doing everything youre meant to do and more.
Yes of course I want to see more videos like this, you're THE networkchuck! and I'm fascinated watching vlog videos as I develop in my IT career too since I don't have friends or family on a similar journey to relate too so I am curious to know what your journey has been like building the studio! I don't want to only see the end result
man its hard, i know where our at I have kinda done the same thing since 2020. lets all hope this year is a payoff for past time and effort. until then you are doing an amazing job and I always watch and re-watch and learn so much from what you are doing. keep it up man your doing great.
Wow! Chuck I'm sorry this year was that tough. I'm glad to see God got you through it like He always does. You have such an influence in my life. I recently quit a 20 year career in Home Automation to get into IT/Cyber security. Your videos have helped me so much and I am trying to learn this new field. On a positive note, I passed my CompTIA Sec+ this week. That being said you asked what we might be looking for in '23. What you said toward the end of your video about continuing the Python, Linux, and Bash scripting stuff had me so excited! Those 3 are exactly what I need personally and I would love to learn from you and support you at the same time. Thanks for all you do! God Bless.
Chuck, I teach CCNA to adults with disabilities in Michigan. I play so many of your videos for my students. You keep the material interesting and energetic. You make my job SO much easier. You're changing lives even if you never meet one of my students. I'm sure there are lots of folks out there who feel the same. THANK YOU for what you do.
I appreciate you and all your videos. Honestly I'd appreciate a video about family life/ work balance. I'd love to hear about how you make this all work, especially with so many kids. Maybe more about your wife. I'm certain she's amazing, and plays a huge part in all of this. For those of us that also have or want to have a family, and are maybe branching out in entrepreneurial endeavors; what do you suggest/ how do you make that work? Thanks again Chuck.
I’m a entrepreneur and have 3 kids. There is no magic formula to work/life balance. You just keep plugging away. Best thing for me is to have days when Injust unplug and turn my cell phone off when I’m with family.
You let me down hard in 2022 Mr. Network Chuck but I want you to know everyone here, including myself, believe in who you are, what you do, where you are you, and why you are still out there producing content. You are very much appreciated and we all look forward to the road ahead. Thank you for all that you do. God Bless your family!
You're awesome Chuck, love listening to you. I really have to carefully review your videos to learn from you. You have great skills at teaching us all by simplifying it all. Thanks for setting these up - wish you an outstanding 2023 My god ! father of six ! you have plenty in your hands ! And yes, thanks for stating that we have to have goals - I was wandering what mine was. ; )
Chuck, you're awesome and the work you're doing inspires us, keeps us motivated when things get hard as well as entertaining. I really enjoy what you do on your channel and hope that 2023 is one of your best years ever! Thank you for all your hard work and effort on all our behalves (or is it behalfs?). With love: -your fans-
Dude this story hit home, my story Is a little different I went from 15 years of leadership, team development to walking away yo run my own business that was the scariest part of becoming the owner not just the leader. I love everything you do and am so grateful that you didn't quit. Keep kicking ass!
chuck just be yourself, your awesome. As you move through your journey, we dont always need smart snappy content. Sometimes all thats needed is those little snippets of useful information that saves time in troubleshooting. Such as why something happens and what to check and how to check. simple stuff such as why changing a 'dns entry doesnt seem to happen, without forcing it to propagate due to not clearing cached entries. Tweaks you can make to automatically lower the cahe entries amount and trick them to clear out the entries more often. Little tweaks like that to remove, refresh, update, route caches in switches etc to clearout the old stuff. Take a breath every so often, to enjoy those kids of yours, if you can manage those girls, you can manage your staff. Plans & changes will just take a little longer to eventuate. Small changes lead to big things over time.
your ccna videos is what kept me up learning and motivated when i was beginning and feeling like I was not enough for this. You can do it man and I hope more people learn from you as well
You could definitely tell you were going through something throughout the year, but at the end of the day you seem better than you were today a year ago. That's progress and what you should be proud of :)
I feel a lot of what you are talking about. Started a business that I thought would go places, and ultimately tanked. I felt it was a vision given to me by God, and when we closed the doors, it left me visionless for a while. It was finding this channel that has inspired me to go after a job in IT and put my current career field in my past once and for all. Thanks for all you do and the knowledge and energy put put into every video.
Thanks for sharing. You had me a little frightened that you were going to quit, and that would be horrible. You're such a great teacher! Stay the course, and keep your vision, sometimes things don't happen as fast as we'd like, but in due time all will fall into place.
I found your channel over half a year ago. My manager wanted me to learn more python (I work in cybersecurity, not so much a dev role) so I was reluctant at first but after finding your videos they actually helped me and I was able to build confidence. I wanted to see more content from you on that platform but this video gives great insight into the background of your life. You have so many things going on. It’s completely understandable. Regardless of how fast you get these out, thank you so much for helping people that have been hesitant on learning to code.
Chuck, you've motivated me a lot to keep learning new things, today i'm better because of your job for sure. Thanks for not quiting, i hope to see your courses, I would love to do them. Have a great 2023!
Hi Chuck! I'm a very recent subscriber and you introduced me to so much networking stuff that I've enjoyed playing around in. I even got into VMs and HTB thanks to your videos. I already had an advanced knowledge on PC repair but then I figure everyone does. But personally, I'd love to see more of your Bash and Python tutorials more. I have so many ideas that I'm trying out.
Honestly dude, this is coming from a longtime fan of yours, taking a step back this year and appreciating everything you have already accomplished, getting back to your roots sort of. The livestreams would be awesome to see, finishing the CCNA playlist and others would be killer - saying that because I found you when I first got started in IT two years ago and those videos, really all of your videos have helped me greatly. You're bring fun back into IT. A space that has been dominated by dried up individuals for a long time. I get you have more and more ambitious goals set for yourself, taking a step back and slowing it down like you did in this video... I think everyone would love that. Peace from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan my friend. congratulations on the kid! I have one on the way!
I am so on the same page, new kid, bought a house just to expand my business, literally everything you felt I feel it 100%. Difference in the details on what we did but man-o-man 2022 bleeding into 2023 is soooo much the same. Thanks for sharing. You are not alone and it will all be worth it just try and take those breaks when you hit those walls and come back with new energy ready for more!
Love your content chuck. Please tell me upto which time period dashlane code will expire? I mean can i use this code from april 2023 onwards or it is valid just for few weeks or month?
whosoever is reading this reply, please beware of this scam. Chuck will never chat with us on telegram. Also the name of the channel is different, only the profile pic matches. these guys will say that you have won the xyz thing and we need to pay them custom charges for shipping. Don't fall for this.
I really enjoyed this video and congradulate you on all your well deserved success. I can also relate as 2022 was a great but double edged year for me as well. I really fell off of my programming journey. Basically starting over. I'd love to see more videos like this perhaps even monthly. I'd be willing to join some type of subscription model if you are going to be treating it like a full edu course. Building each course out in mouale style. Reguardless to what path you choose I wish you and your family continued success.
love the content, and congrats on another monster in the home. I'd love help on figuring out ubuntu's microk8s kubernetes dns "coreDNS". iv had a hard time finding anything about it and the doc's are terrible for it.
Hi Chuck we all know time is precious and it's draining day by day I don't watch much on TH-cam till the end, but coming to you it's like I want more, I can spend the whole time watching your videos it's so informative and a good learning experience, if there are courses coming up from you. In 2023 we are waiting for that notification to drop. Thank you for all your hard work and motivation.
Thanks for sharing your journey. This really spoke to me since I'm going through something diffrent as well. You never know a person struggles behind he smiles
I really appreciate the authenticity and peeling back some layers showing the difficulty of content creation. I can also relate on the management aspect. Hope you do more videos like this!
Thanks so much for using a multiple camera setup CORRECTLY. Which is to edit the video so you are always looking at the active camera. So many presenters switch to Camera Two but don't look into it. Leaving the viewer watching someone gazing off into space at something unknown. "Hey! I'm over here! Who are you talking to!?" Such a relief.
It would be a sad day for many of us if you left youtube!!! I think you schedule at min at least 4-6 of these type check in videos to break up the regular ones! Thanks again for all your hard work and enthusiasm CHUCK!
sorry to hear about your burnout. Much love from Scotland and thank you for all the content. I also really like this less energy video, but of course I love your normal style too. all the best for 2023.
on a real note - good job on all that and being transparent of the hardships you're going through. Really loving the channel and looking forward to the courses (weather free or not) because I know they're gonna be great. God bless! 🤘🏽
I've not been watching your videos for long but have watched quite a few already and they have really helped me as I've stepped into the tech world. I love your videos. I'm glad you didn't let yourself quit youtube, I feel you've had a positive and inspirational influence in so many lives. Also, congrats on your baby girl! I have five kids myself so I know the joys.. as well as the struggles. 😅 I think you're doing great. You are great. Hoping you reach all your goals for 2023!
Thanks chuck, I have been in IT for 20+ years and always learn something from your videos. We are all human, glad you could share this with us. All the best for 2023😊
Thanks Chuck! Entrepreneur mindset. The positive failures we never hear about. Thanks for a small look inside. May you hit your marks in 2023 and grow beyond TH-cam. Be blessed.
Thank you for your content. And your honesty. You have made a difference in my life and it's evident how much of a difference you are making. Keep following the passion and 2023 will be great!
One of my favorite videos yet! I dig the "behind the scenes" glimpse and it makes everything more real and personable. Thank you. I wish the best in 2023 and beyond. Although I will say, 6 daughters, WOWEEE! Stay strong my fellow father!
It is scary to jump from one thing to the other. I went from a microbiologist and lab manager to a cyber architect. I spent a TON of time doubting my choice, hating myself for putting my family in financial risk for doing something like that, but now, I know I made the right choice. You got this man.
Hey chuck, glad your back at it, not giving up... Your vids helped me complete my IT Bachelor degree with focus in network management and even citied a couple of your videos as resource work... Working on my A+ cert, network+ cert and working on getting my channel off the ground. Your work has helped and I continue to enjoy, some content on certs would always be helpful 👍
Hearing you talk about your faith and level about your mental health and your value for the people you work with seeing your family involved in some videos. I'm really behind on your content! But honestly I don't think I'm more satisfied with any one individual in the tech scene! Such a charismatic individual, bright shining light! The positivity and authenticity is more than anything you could do or show us imho. We are so spoiled. Especially with a world of tech channels I used to watch years ago and ultimately was super disappointed. The human element you have incorporated is so precious. I hope you get all the funding you need to fulfill your visions!
life throws some really good punches but i am glad you learned from all this and i know you will get all your goals done. best of luck chuck!! looking forward to more videos and learning
I've been a subscriber for four years now. I do miss your old "bedroom studio" a lot but I would love to see you bring back the live streams! Thanks Chuck!

I was in the Air Force in the past and I understand the difficulties of becoming a manager. The military provides us training for it, but it's completely different when you're actually doing it.

I ABSOLUTELY agree with you!
@ElvenJustice especially for us old guys that were exposed to excessive noise when overseas. Because of the background music sometimes I just have to turn on CC and read what is being said.
Exactly right about listening to your crew, friends, family you never know where a good idea or advice could come from. My dad before he passed away always said you have 2 ears and 1 mouth. Listen twice as much as you speak. Very wise advice that’s helps me very day.
I wish there was a love button. Thanks for being honest and vulnerable about the reality of being a content creator, a husband, a co-worker and a child of God. Thank you for what you do and how you share your passion with the world.
The love button unfortunately costs money and it's called the thanks button, it's like a super chat but on a regular video instead of a live stream.
As a father myself, I don't know how you do it...with 6 girls, constant videos, editing, etc. Definitely an inspiration, keep up the good work. Being a dad is not an easy job, but I want to just say you're doing great and keep your head up. That said, I've learned so much from you and I'm glad you didn't quit!
Dude, 2022 sucked for me as well, having to retire at 56 on medical grounds. On a more positive note, I became a Grandpa 😁. Being a fellow beardy and coffee drinker (Nespresso) and budding IT nerd ( at my age), life is a roller coaster. Keep doing what you are good at. You make informative and entertaining videos.
Thanks Chuck. All the best in 2023. Your videos are inspiring and I have learnt a lot from them. Living your life on TH-cam is tough so make sure to spend plenty of time with your family and friends. Once you have your backend systems up and running it will be interesting to hear what you have learnt in getting to that stage.
So sorry you have been going through all that. So thankful for your channel. I'm an IT professional and you inspire me to grow. I LOVE your videos and the way you take complex topics and break them down and make them simple and fun. Always keep the fun and thanks for all the hard work behind the scenes. Anytime I get someone asking me where they can learn a specific IT skill I send them to your channel 90% of the time. Yes, we need to see the behind-the-scenes occasionally too. So glad you are prospering!! You deserve it. May God continue to bless you!
Managing people itself is an art. Going from yourself to 5 on your team is a huge undertaking. Not only you anymore, you have 4 family members to think about and consider on top of your own family. Love watching your vids and learning from you. Your charisma is off the charts and your passion for IT is a super power. Keep it up!
Chuck never forget how awesome you are and how many people you've inspired. Take some time to look out for yourself. I hope you get everything sorted out. I know you will!
You have been one of the greatest inspirations for me over a long period of time. I have started my TH-cam channel just last year and I do not have many subscribers either, but your video tutorials keep me motivated and push me to make better content every time. If someday I lose hope of TH-cam and quit, I wish to come across one of your videos, because that's all it is gonna take to encourage me to get back on this platform and share knowledge with all the learners.
Watching this, reminds me of how similar people are to each other, no matter how we think we're so different because of problems or talents or etc. Glad to hear you didn't quit bro, carry on strong as ever. Take breaks when you need to, because the world could use more personalities/visionaries like yours.
Thanks Chuck for the years of great videos. I started watching your videos when I was an aspiring IT professional and I'm now a SysAdmin/DevOps engineer. Keep doing what you're doing
woah, you donated the greatest youtuber ever 5 dollars
You're doing awesome Chuck! By far the best person to watch when I want to learn or even be entertained.
I think adding the occasional live stream would be a great way to stay “grounded” and possibly be a therapeutic session where Chuck can let his beard down, fire up a pot of Network Chuck coffee and just chat amongst his fellow nerds. Vent if you need, laugh if you need and gain valuable live feedback while at the same time letting the content create itself. Hang in there Chuck…the burnout is real. Blessings on the new addition to the fam. The greatest gift of all!
I would love nothing more than more Chuck live streams, I know I'd love to pop on and chat with Chuck while I'm studying
Agreed completely! 🙌❤️😇
Bump on this so mr chuck add this to the bucket🔥
Chuck-
This is probably going to echo similar to the other 1000+ comments but I hope this finds you and lifts you up and brings you a smile. I started watching you around the beginning of Covid and I don't think there's a single video I've missed since. The energy you convey with the technical material is amazing and infectious. So infectious that I harnessed you as motivation to land a new job in Q4 of 2022. Kept thinking to myself: WWCD - What Would Chuck Do? I ended bringing a lot of enthusiasm/positive energy and even physically showed off my Pi NAS that's based on your own YT video. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today.
Let us, the viewers, give back, thank you, and refill your coffee pot with these comments. Here's to 2023.
Thank the Lord that you still on youtube. Network Chuck got me back into loving IT again, I just setup my own home network, building my own little self-hosted website and it all started one day when I stubled onto one of your videos.
When I struggle, search Chuckl!!
I Love your energy, honesty and i qm sure ill love your Coffee as well. LOVE Coffee!!
You are blessed and we who watch your channel are blessed to have you!! You inspire and I only hope the best for you in 2023.
Man, I'm glad you didn't give up. I discovered your channel last week and it's basically all I watch. 2023 didn't started so great for me, but watching your videos makes me feel good, motivated to learn, to become a better dev and better at IT in general. Your content is great! I'll be around for a long time!
Thanks, Chuck for the update and the sincere transparency we really appreciate it! Can't wait for all the exciting things that you will display for 2023! Congratulations with you new addition to your family!
Great video as usual, excited for what's coming and loving that jersey, man. Congratulations on the family going bigger and cheers from Argentina!
Dude, the charisma you bring is awesome and your content is amazing. Hope things get better for you and continue to make content.
Thank you for sharing!! I have learned a lot from you already. Your teaching style makes it fun. I am the IT guy at work that everyone goes to first, and if i cannot get it, i call the advanced people. Take whatever time you need to get things done, and I'll still be here learning from what you have already put out. You rock...so keep rockin. :) and 6 girls?? Glad you are still operational!! :) All the best from here in Maine.
Thanks for enduring through 2022. I really enjoy your videos. They are so packed with info that it is almost overwhelming. Truly God has blessed you, and will continue in 2023.
"We WIN or we LEARN. We never loose." Stay strong brother! Love what you do. Congrats on your progress!
we never lose indeed.
You've always been an extremely uplifting and motivating force for me in my IT career, you helped me embrace my enjoyment of coffee into a passion which then fueled long late nights of hard work studying to become a better more well rounded knowledgeable individual.
My man your videos make me happy, I fall in love with networks, subnetting and you CCNA videos are just awesome. Keep going, never settle, we need you, and more people like you. Thank you for all the effort.
It's amazing how you kept producing videos during all of this. If you ever feel like you need a break, never hesitate to just stop making videos when you need it. You are an example to all of us, you always have been.
Keep it up! Love everything you present. Always working so hard and it pays
Thank you chuck for creating this videos, I’ve never learned from any TH-cam teachers before cuz usually I sleep off while watching… but your energy, has kept me going!
We love you Chuck, you're like a father I never had. We're all lucky to have someone as passionate as you teach us these subjects. They can sometimes be so daunting you wanna quit, but your excitement keeps me going. Thanks for everything.
Thank you for all your content, you're a big reason I'm starting down the path of cyber security. I already had an interest in coding and have started learning Python recently. Hey do you have any secret sites to get a RaspberryPi I want a Raspberry Pi 4 8GB but all the sites Raspberry Pi pointed me to are sold out lol. Again, thank you for everything you do bud, I hope 2023 is wonderful for you bud with less burnout and unfinished projects 😊
You're doing great - so keep on! You're a great guy and a blessing! Best wishes to you and your family.
Chuck keep up with the awesome work man! Don't push yourself and try to take time off when you need to. As for the mistakes, it is what it is, they belong to the past. Wishing you all the best for the new year! Health and happiness to you and your family!
Chuck you motivated me into becoming a network engineer. Just a few years ago, I was dabbeling in IT trying to find my way but when I stumbled across your videos in 2019 and saw how passionate you were about networking, i knew that is what I wanted to do. And although on a daily I am reminded on how much more I have to learn, I still thoroughly enjoy what I do. And I have to give credit where credit is due, it is because of you that I was able to find a passion in networking. Know that regardless of where you may think you are falling short of, you are having a massive impact on all of us and the IT community. Keep your head up, youre doing everything youre meant to do and more.
Thanks for sharing your struggles in 2022, takes a lot of courage! Hopefully 2023 will be better .Take care buddy.
Yes of course I want to see more videos like this, you're THE networkchuck! and I'm fascinated watching vlog videos as I develop in my IT career too since I don't have friends or family on a similar journey to relate too so I am curious to know what your journey has been like building the studio! I don't want to only see the end result
man its hard, i know where our at I have kinda done the same thing since 2020. lets all hope this year is a payoff for past time and effort. until then you are doing an amazing job and I always watch and re-watch and learn so much from what you are doing. keep it up man your doing great.
Please don’t stop your channel is so informative and educational. Your awesome and bigger than all your worries ! 😊
Wow! Chuck I'm sorry this year was that tough. I'm glad to see God got you through it like He always does. You have such an influence in my life. I recently quit a 20 year career in Home Automation to get into IT/Cyber security. Your videos have helped me so much and I am trying to learn this new field. On a positive note, I passed my CompTIA Sec+ this week. That being said you asked what we might be looking for in '23. What you said toward the end of your video about continuing the Python, Linux, and Bash scripting stuff had me so excited! Those 3 are exactly what I need personally and I would love to learn from you and support you at the same time. Thanks for all you do! God Bless.
That's exciting man, hope everything goes well! And those courses would be pretty sweet
Chuck, I teach CCNA to adults with disabilities in Michigan. I play so many of your videos for my students. You keep the material interesting and energetic. You make my job SO much easier. You're changing lives even if you never meet one of my students. I'm sure there are lots of folks out there who feel the same. THANK YOU for what you do.
Glad you stuck with it... been learning a lot, remembering old forgotten tech stuff, and enjoying the presentations. God bless and hang in there.
I appreciate you and all your videos. Honestly I'd appreciate a video about family life/ work balance. I'd love to hear about how you make this all work, especially with so many kids. Maybe more about your wife. I'm certain she's amazing, and plays a huge part in all of this. For those of us that also have or want to have a family, and are maybe branching out in entrepreneurial endeavors; what do you suggest/ how do you make that work? Thanks again Chuck.
I agree too
I’m a entrepreneur and have 3 kids. There is no magic formula to work/life balance. You just keep plugging away.
Best thing for me is to have days when Injust unplug and turn my cell phone off when I’m with family.
You let me down hard in 2022 Mr. Network Chuck but I want you to know everyone here, including myself, believe in who you are, what you do, where you are you, and why you are still out there producing content. You are very much appreciated and we all look forward to the road ahead. Thank you for all that you do. God Bless your family!
You're awesome Chuck, love listening to you. I really have to carefully review your videos to learn from you.
You have great skills at teaching us all by simplifying it all.
Thanks for setting these up - wish you an outstanding 2023
My god ! father of six ! you have plenty in your hands !
And yes, thanks for stating that we have to have goals - I was wandering what mine was. ; )
Your channel was the reason I got into linux and started my journey into cybersecurity
WE LOVE YOU CHUCK!
Chuck, you're awesome and the work you're doing inspires us, keeps us motivated when things get hard as well as entertaining. I really enjoy what you do on your channel and hope that 2023 is one of your best years ever! Thank you for all your hard work and effort on all our behalves (or is it behalfs?). With love: -your fans-
Dude this story hit home, my story Is a little different I went from 15 years of leadership, team development to walking away yo run my own business that was the scariest part of becoming the owner not just the leader.
I love everything you do and am so grateful that you didn't quit. Keep kicking ass!
You are doing great Chuck! Hope you know how much you mean to this community. Take care of yourself and your family.
chuck just be yourself, your awesome. As you move through your journey, we dont always need smart snappy content. Sometimes all thats needed is those little snippets of useful information that saves time in troubleshooting. Such as why something happens and what to check and how to check. simple stuff such as why changing a 'dns entry doesnt seem to happen, without forcing it to propagate due to not clearing cached entries. Tweaks you can make to automatically lower the cahe entries amount and trick them to clear out the entries more often. Little tweaks like that to remove, refresh, update, route caches in switches etc to clearout the old stuff. Take a breath every so often, to enjoy those kids of yours, if you can manage those girls, you can manage your staff. Plans & changes will just take a little longer to eventuate. Small changes lead to big things over time.
your ccna videos is what kept me up learning and motivated when i was beginning and feeling like I was not enough for this.
You can do it man and I hope more people learn from you as well
You could definitely tell you were going through something throughout the year, but at the end of the day you seem better than you were today a year ago. That's progress and what you should be proud of :)
I feel a lot of what you are talking about. Started a business that I thought would go places, and ultimately tanked. I felt it was a vision given to me by God, and when we closed the doors, it left me visionless for a while. It was finding this channel that has inspired me to go after a job in IT and put my current career field in my past once and for all. Thanks for all you do and the knowledge and energy put put into every video.
Thanks for sharing. You had me a little frightened that you were going to quit, and that would be horrible. You're such a great teacher! Stay the course, and keep your vision, sometimes things don't happen as fast as we'd like, but in due time all will fall into place.
Argentina, world champion!!!
I found your channel over half a year ago. My manager wanted me to learn more python (I work in cybersecurity, not so much a dev role) so I was reluctant at first but after finding your videos they actually helped me and I was able to build confidence. I wanted to see more content from you on that platform but this video gives great insight into the background of your life. You have so many things going on. It’s completely understandable. Regardless of how fast you get these out, thank you so much for helping people that have been hesitant on learning to code.
Chuck, you've motivated me a lot to keep learning new things, today i'm better because of your job for sure. Thanks for not quiting, i hope to see your courses, I would love to do them. Have a great 2023!
Hi Chuck! I'm a very recent subscriber and you introduced me to so much networking stuff that I've enjoyed playing around in. I even got into VMs and HTB thanks to your videos.
I already had an advanced knowledge on PC repair but then I figure everyone does. But personally, I'd love to see more of your Bash and Python tutorials more. I have so many ideas that I'm trying out.
Honestly dude, this is coming from a longtime fan of yours, taking a step back this year and appreciating everything you have already accomplished, getting back to your roots sort of. The livestreams would be awesome to see, finishing the CCNA playlist and others would be killer - saying that because I found you when I first got started in IT two years ago and those videos, really all of your videos have helped me greatly. You're bring fun back into IT. A space that has been dominated by dried up individuals for a long time. I get you have more and more ambitious goals set for yourself, taking a step back and slowing it down like you did in this video... I think everyone would love that. Peace from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan my friend. congratulations on the kid! I have one on the way!
I am so on the same page, new kid, bought a house just to expand my business, literally everything you felt I feel it 100%. Difference in the details on what we did but man-o-man 2022 bleeding into 2023 is soooo much the same. Thanks for sharing. You are not alone and it will all be worth it just try and take those breaks when you hit those walls and come back with new energy ready for more!
I love to see you with the Argentina shirt!! 💙🤍
You upload the most helpful and useful videos, keep it up man
Thanks for sharing Chuck. You are and always will be amazing, a motivator and making learning fun. Hope all our dreams come true this year
Love your content chuck. Please tell me upto which time period dashlane code will expire? I mean can i use this code from april 2023 onwards or it is valid just for few weeks or month?
whosoever is reading this reply, please beware of this scam. Chuck will never chat with us on telegram. Also the name of the channel is different, only the profile pic matches. these guys will say that you have won the xyz thing and we need to pay them custom charges for shipping. Don't fall for this.
I really enjoyed this video and congradulate you on all your well deserved success. I can also relate as 2022 was a great but double edged year for me as well. I really fell off of my programming journey. Basically starting over. I'd love to see more videos like this perhaps even monthly. I'd be willing to join some type of subscription model if you are going to be treating it like a full edu course. Building each course out in mouale style. Reguardless to what path you choose I wish you and your family continued success.
Much respect and well wishes to you for 2023. Keep making the content and I'll keep enjoying watching it.
love the content, and congrats on another monster in the home. I'd love help on figuring out ubuntu's microk8s kubernetes dns "coreDNS". iv had a hard time finding anything about it and the doc's are terrible for it.
NO WAY, The title scared me
Hi Chuck we all know time is precious and it's draining day by day I don't watch much on TH-cam till the end, but coming to you it's like I want more, I can spend the whole time watching your videos it's so informative and a good learning experience, if there are courses coming up from you. In 2023 we are waiting for that notification to drop. Thank you for all your hard work and motivation.
🇦🇷

I love your work man finally started college this year and your videos are just perfect thank you for everything
Thanks for sharing your journey. This really spoke to me since I'm going through something diffrent as well. You never know a person struggles behind he smiles
I really appreciate the authenticity and peeling back some layers showing the difficulty of content creation. I can also relate on the management aspect. Hope you do more videos like this!
Thanks so much for using a multiple camera setup CORRECTLY. Which is to edit the video so you are always looking at the active camera. So many presenters switch to Camera Two but don't look into it. Leaving the viewer watching someone gazing off into space at something unknown. "Hey! I'm over here! Who are you talking to!?" Such a relief.
Thanks for sharing what you've been going through.
Looking forward to what you do with this year!
It would be a sad day for many of us if you left youtube!!! I think you schedule at min at least 4-6 of these type check in videos to break up the regular ones! Thanks again for all your hard work and enthusiasm CHUCK!
sorry to hear about your burnout. Much love from Scotland and thank you for all the content. I also really like this less energy video, but of course I love your normal style too. all the best for 2023.
on a real note - good job on all that and being transparent of the hardships you're going through. Really loving the channel and looking forward to the courses (weather free or not) because I know they're gonna be great. God bless! 🤘🏽
I've not been watching your videos for long but have watched quite a few already and they have really helped me as I've stepped into the tech world. I love your videos. I'm glad you didn't let yourself quit youtube, I feel you've had a positive and inspirational influence in so many lives.
Also, congrats on your baby girl! I have five kids myself so I know the joys.. as well as the struggles. 😅
I think you're doing great. You are great.
Hoping you reach all your goals for 2023!
Its crazy Chuck. Ive been watching you recently because I left my job. Because I was burnt out. I needed to see this. You help people bro, know that.
Thanks chuck, I have been in IT for 20+ years and always learn something from your videos. We are all human, glad you could share this with us. All the best for 2023😊
Thanks Chuck! Entrepreneur mindset. The positive failures we never hear about. Thanks for a small look inside. May you hit your marks in 2023 and grow beyond TH-cam. Be blessed.
Thank you for your content. And your honesty. You have made a difference in my life and it's evident how much of a difference you are making. Keep following the passion and 2023 will be great!
One of my favorite videos yet! I dig the "behind the scenes" glimpse and it makes everything more real and personable. Thank you. I wish the best in 2023 and beyond. Although I will say, 6 daughters, WOWEEE! Stay strong my fellow father!
I'm glad you didnt give up. Im learning so much about software, computer servers, I'm working on my certifications.
It is scary to jump from one thing to the other. I went from a microbiologist and lab manager to a cyber architect. I spent a TON of time doubting my choice, hating myself for putting my family in financial risk for doing something like that, but now, I know I made the right choice. You got this man.
Hey Chuck I wish you continued success in 2023! I love watching your videos, I have truly learned a lot.
Hey chuck, glad your back at it, not giving up... Your vids helped me complete my IT Bachelor degree with focus in network management and even citied a couple of your videos as resource work... Working on my A+ cert, network+ cert and working on getting my channel off the ground. Your work has helped and I continue to enjoy, some content on certs would always be helpful 👍
Hearing you talk about your faith and level about your mental health and your value for the people you work with seeing your family involved in some videos. I'm really behind on your content! But honestly I don't think I'm more satisfied with any one individual in the tech scene! Such a charismatic individual, bright shining light! The positivity and authenticity is more than anything you could do or show us imho. We are so spoiled. Especially with a world of tech channels I used to watch years ago and ultimately was super disappointed. The human element you have incorporated is so precious. I hope you get all the funding you need to fulfill your visions!
I've been down that path for myself with the burnout, stress down and take care Chuck!
life throws some really good punches but i am glad you learned from all this and i know you will get all your goals done. best of luck chuck!! looking forward to more videos and learning
I've been a subscriber for four years now. I do miss your old "bedroom studio" a lot but I would love to see you bring back the live streams! Thanks Chuck!
