Thanks for this Video Rudy, I really needed this video today. I always enjoy your content, but this was especially fitting for me right now. I started a Machine shop last year in June, and it has been pretty rough. I was a Machinist before that for a large CNC shop for 14 years. The boss and his wife promised me after 3 years of working there that if they ever sold their company that it would be to me. Last year in January they sprang it on the employees that the company was being sold to some Guy and his Dad. I decided then and there to buy a machine of my own and do my own thing. I got up and rolling in June. Needless to say its been tough to find plenty of work. I'm doing ok right now, but the future looks uncertain to me at this point. Thanks so much for sharing your words of wisdom, they really help me out!
thank you for the comments about regular jobs - there is a lot of mental health issues now. someone I know just committed suicide, I don't know the exact reasons but social media is really fucking with our minds now. Thank you for making this video.
What started as a meme channel for me ended up being someone I can listen to in the background and truly gain knowledge from. You are a real anomaly. I'm still waiting for that in depth video on the Diablo 3 Real Money Auction House. Because of you I actually did a Powerpoint on it in my business ethics class from a video from when you started the channel. The background was a nice touch. Appreciate the wisdom.
Thanks for making this video. I have been struggling with finding my purpose and looking for my "passion" and trying to make my job my passion. This also extends to the lack of motivation I feel when I work. After listening to you, I realize I have been looking at this all wrong. So, I am going to do an experiment. For 1 month starting tomorrow, I am going to put my nose to the grindstone and finish writing that book I have been putting off along with the code I need to finish for my current project. After each work day, I am going to reflect on what I learned and what I can do better tomorrow. Each time I find myself feeling miserable or complaining, I will instead ask what the current experience is teaching me. I wrote a note to give an update 1 month from now. I will let you all know what happened.
Rudy hit it with this video. I lost my business almost a year ago (Card Shop) currently 29 and haven’t been able to get a job and yes I’ve seen and am seeing all these people younger than me showing off their wealth and can’t help but feel like I’m a failure. Trying to get back on my feet and keep my head up and this video definitely helped to make me feel a bit better and validated, Thank you Rudy!
I'm old. Not 'Rudy old', I'm really old, 68. I never made more than $40,000 a year in my life. I've had more than 40 jobs in a number of different fields. I've lived on 3 continents in 5 different countries and visited many more. I'm from the US but I've been living in Europe for the last 25 years. I've also lived in Japan and Korea. I've lived in foreign countries for almost half of my life. I've seen and done amazing things and met amazing people. I currently live in a small but very nice house with an inground pool and a beautiful Japanese garden. I've been on the verge of being homeless more than once in my life but I always found a way to survive. I've lived life my way and I would do it all over again and not change a thing. If you want to be like Rudy and think the only measure of success in life is having a lot of money then go for it. But in my opinion there is more to life than pursuing wealth. That comes with it's own problems. Take a risk, follow your heart and your passions. Most of all don't be like Rudy who is always concerned about what others think about him. Grow a thick skin, develop some self confidence and be who you want to be not what other people want to be. You only get one life, why not make the most of it. If you crave comfort and security go for it. If you want a life of adventure then do that. Being what you need to be is the true key to a happy life. Relentless pursuit of money has been ruining the world. Don't let it ruin you.
Fair enough, but I don't think Rudy cares too much what people think of him. He has often produced some unorthodox statements about investing because he carved his own path outside of the standard investing world, despite his detractors.
Haha for real , I sell cards so I can spend all day at home with my kids and tend to my garden, or go fishing. I wouldn't trade my sweet potato harvest for all those paintings lol
@@agentbarron9768 Good for you. It sounds like you have your priorities straight. I love to fish. I grew up on the Lake Erie shoreline and I fished in the lake, small local lakes and I di da lot of trout fishing in the streams south of the lake. I was on a charter boat trip on the Baltic sea a few years ago and caught a fish of a lifetime. A 44 pound, 48" Atlantic salmon. It took over 45 minutes to get it in the boat. Rudy is a good example that money can't buy good taste. He lives in a big ugly McMansion full of tacky furniture and art. I've lived in Europe for the last 25 years now and I love art of all kinds. I've been to a lot of the major art museums all over Europe. Old art and antiques are everywhere here. Just because something is old doesn't necessarily make it beautiful or valuable. Having masses of tacky old oil paintings all over his walls is pretty pitiful. Rudy probably buys leather bound old books by the yard to fill his bookshelves too. 😂 Keep a tight line!
Wise words! To tie everything together, here is some wisdom from myself. Forgive, Let Go and Move On in Life. That is how you will discover passion in life.
I don't really watch this channel for the card content, My cousin actually sent me a video that was very similar to this one. I think your knowledge on life is solid, its like a father speaking to his son in my case. I needed to hear this video, Its 6AM and I haven't gone to bed debating about my next step. Thanks rudy
I really appreciate your different views on things that are not just TCGs. I do enjoy the information that you have for investors, because i am an old school MTG , player from the early 90's I am an Alpha and beta generation player. I used to have a comic book shop in the early 90's, but that fell through. I really enjoy how you try to help the interested personnel. I thank you for being you and being helpful to us wannabe collectors.
Thank you Rudy for your time and perspective. You‘ve made me liking my first video ever on TH-cam and maybe in general. I think It took me about 20 years 😂 Love your videos !
TY RUDY!!! for the HONEST RANT /perspective and holistic dialogue on many important topics/themes that often get overlooked, censored, underappreciated etc... today both in life and online. Just wanted to say without going over every point/topic mentioned in video... (otherwise my comments and points of discussion would be 10x longer then your video) GREAT Video! Keep up the content and being TRUE to YOU. My context - (I rarely if ever comment on anyone's video) this video I truly felt comment was warranted. Recently stumbled on your channel this year , binged many of your videos as former magic player that was hooked as a kid with old formats...Mirage being the new hyped set when I was grade 5 - was active until Innistrad set. Your passion for old school mtg resonated deeply + plus your true take on topics concepts for various videos. It's refreshing to hear concepts/themes, perspectives/real life examples for the majority analyzed and conceptually summarized to complete this epic rant. Segments of concepts/themes here I only get to discuss with close family/friends ...(being a small ant even worse than Fallen Empires as a TH-camr myself) It's rare to have these honest takes on social media...I appreciate the value of this video! You, and channel On behalf of the 10% or less that watched whole thing and appreciate its contribution - THANK YOU! I agree it's still worth doing this type of content even if only a few have meaningful positive life impact after keep it up! - minus the fake Rudy DP tease... save that for next RUDY RANT!
Thanks for talking about the fallacy (phallus-y?) of passion. I was a cook and a chef for 27 years and had that shit shoved down my throat constantly. Don't like the pay? "Fuck you, where's your passion?" Got sick? "Fuck you, where's your passion?" That twelve hour shift on a stretch of a dozen twelve hour shifts got you down? "Fuck you, where's your passion?"
Funnily enough I've found a lack of "passion" is common in those that excel in any endeavor. I focus on gaming mostly, anc even in that avenue the tier-1 players will tell you how passion simply doesn't matter and work ethic is what separates the 1% from the .01%
As a current chef I completely agree. A food service business will drop you as soon as you start asking for a better quality of life or when they deem you useless
@@edstuff1198 See, it's that careful deliberation and nuance, that thoughtful approach, that grasp of subtlety and complete understanding of the situation that you're woefully lacking, sonny Jim. Get your head in the game and quit fucking around with this pitiful attempt at a troll.
@@edstuff1198 Ahh...the lovely warm bath of a well reasoned, eloquent statement that captures the nuance and subtlety of the situation. Unfortunately you completely missed the mark here, bucko. I'm talking about a work culture that has weaponized Joseph Campbell's 'follow your bliss' and will gaslight you into feeling like shit wanting some basic workers rights because hey, this is your passion, don't you want this? I've worked in twenty or so different cooking gigs in that 27 year period and it's endemic. The alcoholism, broken marriages, broken bodies, jail time, drug abuse, and violence I was witness to and was a part of - I'm telling you man, food service is rife with rot. You tell me to get the fuck out? Well I did. Never regretted that decision. But to try and slap some bumper-sticker philosophy on my experience and say, 'no job is perfect, move on', is coming from a place of immense privilege and egotism. I'll bet you were born in the fifties, when life was a pretty sweet fruit, and mommy and daddy told you that the world was your oyster, am I right?
Hey Rudy, I appreciate you defending the importance of working retail/part-time jobs. Sometimes I feel insane for what I'm doing and where I am right now in my life. The expectation is that people my age should be somewhere else, but I'm trying to figure out my priorities, while balancing survival. It's not easy, and hearing you relate to the struggle and seeing where you are, gives me a sense of confidence for what I'm doing with my time. Thanks, again, I appreciate it.
Watched this video for a 2nd time. It really helped me today. Lately ive been depressed. I make decent money as a plumber but work has consumed my life. I want a girlfriend or wife that i can spoil and love. People may not be happy paying for a plumbing service but i get most of my customers as repeats and im able to provide a needed service. Rudy your videos have helped me so much in my life. Anything is possible through hard work proper investing, saving and faith. Gods always had my back. Thank you rudy!❤
Thanks Rudy, i think it is interesting how our view points change as we grow older. I see young people teens - 20s not yet experiencing and understanding all the aspects of work and money and think about how much I didnt know at their age, and how much my life has been influenced by people that i was around at various jobs. Very good video! Thanks for the reminder that we are all at a base level similar creatures of habit.
Nice chat, for me main lesson is sometimes you need to take some risk to advance, being passive doesn't help you forward. As Rudy mentioned not everything will pay off but if more is positive vs negative you are no the right track. Look around and create opportunities, both from job and investment perspective .
Thank you for your comments about the DOW and your time at the brokerage. I don't know anything about card collecting, only subbed for your views on the market lol
I think your parents being small business owners helped your mindset. They obviously did a good job modeling the behaviors a good business owner needs. I’d like to see a video of you discussing your memories of how your folks handled their business, their struggles, trials, successes, and impactful conversations you had with them.
I know this is off-topic, but I have to say, you have excellent taste in art! Let me help set the mood: 'Hey Siri, play Giuseppe Verdi's Libiamo ne' lieti calici!"
@47:15 - I still struggle with this every day of my life. This mindset hits so hard. I am lucky to know that other people may not say it out loud at times but it is so hard to know what is right and suffering internally to do what I know is right.
I’m entering a 12 month debt repayment plan this month. I was so scared but this video weirdly made me feel calm. It’s 1 year. I can work my job for 1 year and see this through.
What a great video. Hit on a ton of points that i dont hear in cultural lexicon i especially liked your point about normal jobs. I think the advent of social media allows constant comparison that is detrimental to the working peoples mental health.
So Good They Can't Ignore You is a book about this subject. Don't follow your passions; find passion in what you're good at and what's useful to others.
thankyou. i am a master level drywall finisher. a 20 year journey to find that there is no secret to success. the simple fact we are talking interchanging ideas Im fortunate to know you all are like me, a success at really 1 thing - nothing. formlessness. why am I here. for you all. thanks for the inspuration and great video on being real. ❤
I don't know what to think anymore. I see people not buying into these basic ideas and we say the system ruined it for them but then I talk to people and all their savings are in meme coins, they dont even know what the sp500 is, and their car is costing them 1000 dollars a month. good luck to this country
Well, not only the internet but the government aswelll. Atleast in my country. The government looks down on those jobs not only the internet or newer generations. In my country you dont get paid enough to fking live your life if you do "some shitty job". Thats the real problem in my opinion. The government want people to work in such jobs but you dont get paid enough to live a normal live. Thats fking insane.
Completely agree. I had a bunch of crappy hourly jobs and I look back now and see how they taught me lessons that eventually led to my success in life.
I work as a maintenance supervisor for an apartment complex. We get treated like the bottom of the barrel from both residents and the front office sometimes. But without us, they have no idea what to do. It sucks but we know we're important and can actually be valuable to our families and maybe another employer.
You deserve to be recognized and appreciated man. Just know that even if people don't say it, it's hard not to feel it. Trust that there are people there who feel gratitude for what you do.
Had a person ghost me today for a sale. An hour later i made a sale for a good profit. You block the losers and move on. Your channel has helped me focus on running a business and not taking the dimwits personally.
The difference between a master and a novice is that the master has failed more times than the novice has ever tried.

@47:15 - I still struggle with this every day of my life. This mindset hits so hard. I am lucky to know that other people may not say it out loud at times but it is so hard to know what is right and suffering internally to do what I know is right.
Real Talk With Rudy - last ten minutes was critical.
50:58 Rudy shared something special with us today
I’m entering a 12 month debt repayment plan this month. I was so scared but this video weirdly made me feel calm. It’s 1 year. I can work my job for 1 year and see this through.
Good luck, stay focused!
No joke or anything like that; this man is a genius.
Rudy, thanks for making this video. It's incredibly insightful and helpful to readjust my perspective on the world and my life.
What a great video. Hit on a ton of points that i dont hear in cultural lexicon i especially liked your point about normal jobs. I think the advent of social media allows constant comparison that is detrimental to the working peoples mental health.
Great talk dude..inspirational
I watched 2nd half, cuz time be precious, but great vid.
So Good They Can't Ignore You is a book about this subject. Don't follow your passions; find passion in what you're good at and what's useful to others.
thankyou.
i am a master level drywall finisher.
a 20 year journey to find that there is no secret to success. the simple fact we are talking interchanging ideas Im fortunate to know you all are like me, a success at really 1 thing - nothing. formlessness. why am I here. for you all. thanks for the inspuration and great video on being real. ❤
I don't know what to think anymore. I see people not buying into these basic ideas and we say the system ruined it for them but then I talk to people and all their savings are in meme coins, they dont even know what the sp500 is, and their car is costing them 1000 dollars a month. good luck to this country
The opening "FOLKS" makes me laugh every time, lol
Well, not only the internet but the government aswelll. Atleast in my country. The government looks down on those jobs not only the internet or newer generations. In my country you dont get paid enough to fking live your life if you do "some shitty job". Thats the real problem in my opinion. The government want people to work in such jobs but you dont get paid enough to live a normal live. Thats fking insane.
I love when you spread positivity
time in the market is better than timing the market
pls do a video about your art collection. favorite pieces, artists, how you acquire etc.
I love "Reality Check" Rudy videos. Keep them coming buddy 👍
Tell it like it is Rudy! Thanks for the awesome video. From the 1.696969% 😂
One of the best videos
That's how we roll Rudy!
I fear the day Rudy quits yt. We need this talks. It puts kind of everything in perspective.
The green screens get better and better!
“If something is free, you’re the product” well said nothing is free indeed
Completely agree. I had a bunch of crappy hourly jobs and I look back now and see how they taught me lessons that eventually led to my success in life.
It’s all about the journey, not the destination.
There are multiple paths to the top of the mountain.
I work as a maintenance supervisor for an apartment complex. We get treated like the bottom of the barrel from both residents and the front office sometimes. But without us, they have no idea what to do. It sucks but we know we're important and can actually be valuable to our families and maybe another employer.
Have a great day
You deserve to be recognized and appreciated man. Just know that even if people don't say it, it's hard not to feel it. Trust that there are people there who feel gratitude for what you do.
Love how even his house is in a constant state of moving product
Rudy, when you retire one day please continue this style of videos.
Never go to someone like Rudy for wisdom.
It was Rudy with the lead pipe in the basement of karlovs manor. Game over
Which art museum shuts down to let you film there?
Spoils of war. Perfect description.
Had a person ghost me today for a sale. An hour later i made a sale for a good profit. You block the losers and move on. Your channel has helped me focus on running a business and not taking the dimwits personally.
honest video.
