Be sure to take Lin to dinner 🍽 for being a great interviewer
Which equinox location is this?
@@akeldama09 looks like the one near John Wayne airport in Orange County. Never been but drive by and it looks like that building.
where was this equinox please?
Idk about you but that lady at the end is into you.
First dude was extremely well spoken.
Agreed he was great to talk to
I want to be his friend! He seems awesome
I agree, he sound intelligent and articulate. Cool dude.
is he single?
If he survived the drop in the first half of 2022 selling put options, then he is truly good at trading.
Wow 24 years old, jacked, making $400k a year and owns a $750k home. Congrats to that guy. Whole life ahead of him and he already won.
It's called "luck." It happened to me as well. Let's see if we can continue the streak over 50 years, that's what truly matters.
@@feo130 He did fall into it because of his brother in-law. But you have to give him credit for applying himself and taking some serious hits along the way yet staying on course. I'm sure a good amount of us has passed up potentially great opportunities. I'm not saying it happens to everyone, but this guy definitely put in work to be in the position he's in now.
The perks of coming from a wealthy family willing to give you jobs at the "firm", money to invest in, and security when you "lose a ton of money" at an early stage
Family connections are powerful, so are safety nets.
@@DOPEdwarf Exactly. Not discounting any of his efforts but many individuals born into lesser situations certainly could be just as "successful" had they been born into an extremely wealthy family.
First guy was very grounded and articulate and gave really good advice. I’m glad you placed him first in the interview.
I learned that at 35, i am broke and will probably die broke. I have worked a good portion of my life but never had a passion to pursue because working to help family or just survive was always the focus. Shout out to those of you who found success and to those who are like me, don’t allow anyone to look down at what you do. Working in any job is a blessing in itself.
working to survive is such a real thing man. If you don't come from a wealthy family, climbing the financial ladder is WAYY harder. If you can find a way to get a job that allows you to save just a little, that is a huge step.
It's not too late to get into something and monitize it. Don't settle just because you feel you already lost
I started with nothing but a junky car and worked till I started investing ,made 14k the first year and am set to make over 200,000 this year. I regret not learning to trade till I was 42,but it's never to late and today is the day
Same but broke and in debt
A mans life is what his thoughts think of it. Self belief is the most important thing to becoming successful. Following your passions is a myth, instead find an opportunity or create one and take your passion with you. Learn a high income skill for free (TH-cam) and invest in yourself. All of this can be done while working a full time job.
I didn’t expect to get so much out of this video. All of these people seem really genuine and intelligent. Some great nuggets here, definitely going to circle back on this one in the future!
Just bunch of people want to establish relationships and get money from whale ,big spender, or trust fund kids. Lie to use money to make money,
It's good to see someone actually get out and interact with the public, definitely a lot of nuggets here. I would love to see them take it further, about taking action rather than talking.
@@nathelm8693 agreed!
@@matttran4431 Pretty much. These people try to sell themselves too hard. I'm not sure which ones are whales and which ones are Ahabs.
I love a good NUGGET every now and then
This was very different than the regular “what do you do for a living” videos you usually find online. All of these people were very insightful and informative with their answers. You can tell they’re true leaders, I loved it!
it helped that this guy is a good interviewer
In texas no less so it’s probably a mansion
That's it, I'm getting a job at equinox
First guy was great. Wasn’t cocky, seemed a little humble even when answering specific questions. But he had good advice.
Everyone is so well spoken and seem so humble. My favorite interviewee has to be the first guy! Got me hooked into watching the whole video 😄
Mine was the last guy, he seemed cool.
I agree, 1st guy was an excellent interview.
@@PokemanOkie Maybe it's just me, but he reminds me of jake gyllenhaal
Everyone humble most of them work there and the others aren’t rich
@@DimiArt I totally see that. I wondered why he seemed familiar.
the first dude is so down to earth, dang. the way he is so humble telling his extremely successful path!
man i feel like for a young adult looking for connections paying this membership and skimping out on other expenses would be so worth it. you would probably meet so many people that could help you into a great career
Its cheaper then college
@@bandito7271 something to think about
Learn how to cook and raise children is the job of a woman
@@spreadingloveeverywhere_3577 i'm tryna be a mom and have a career bruh
@@spreadingloveeverywhere_3577 yeah man really spreading the love here
Btw a good question to ask people next time is how did they discover they had a valuable skill. For many we may have a skill or an ability to do something but don’t notice the value in said skill. If possible I would love to see an episode of how someone took the steps to understand they have a valuable skill and how they put it into motion. Honestly those first steps in my opinion are probably way more important than what was discussed here
Great idea!
I like this idea.
Absolutely. I finally figured out my skill in my 50s! Wish I'd known earlier. Could have made life a whole lot easier and fewer abusive BS jobs.
@@alipainting would you mind sharing how you discovered yours?
@@runway5338 I discovered I had a knack for childcare during the recession. I had been living in my van and working a slew of low paying jobs. So when winter encroached I took that money and volunteered on boats in the Caribbean. Well, on one island I met a 5 year old girl who wanted me to take her to the beach 🏖️ and her family let me! We had such a good time that I thought, this is my calling. So when I got back I started babysitting for rich people 😆.
My other skill I discovered by necessity and that is being a landlady and renting out rooms. Having the patience to put up with random strangers in the house takes practice, but it's all about survival.
One thing I can't do is work in employment with other adults as some of them are just awful. 😆
First guy gave me so many gems. Crazy that he’s so young and so wise. I needed every word he said. Just started selling life insurance and looking to get my securities license.
You don't think life insurance is worthless? Or selling options to people who mostly lose is dirty work?
so you like scamming people
@@TheLastCin lmaooo whaaaat?
@@AlexIsTooDown life insurance is a scam
So scamming people
I love the first guy. He answered every question and seemed very humble.
You know.
Totally agree , was shocked at his humility and honesty.
So would all of you buy a course or product if he offered it?
@@AlanTrades A course on how to get your sister to marry a guy who networks you into a high paying job at a firm?
@@AlanTrades
No.
this was surprisingly really insightful. i love how after you thanked everyone, most of them thanked you back because they felt like they got something out of the interaction as well.
Love people like the first guy that are so open to share knowledge. He looks like someone thats a great mentor
I like Jim, seems really down to earth, and it's refreshing to see a middle aged guy who made money with the "long game".
He seemed super chill. Good advice for life tbh
This is my favorite “what do you do for a living” video. I like how you asked a lot of good questions. Everything these folks said was so insightful.
Sushi bar
Thank you for putting yourself out there and getting all these gems for us! You rock 🙏🏻
This video literally answered the exact question I had just a few weeks ago. I am obsessed with awesome gyms around the world, and while in the USA I visited an Equinox. Walking around, my mind was racing trying to figure out how all of these people afford this gym, and WHAT do they do for a job! I can't believe this video popped up for me shortly after. I took away so many golden pieces of advice from this - it definitely inspired me to be an Equinox member one day!!!! *when I move out of New Zealand haha*
Great interviews! I like how it wasn't just a bunch of bankers or tech millionaires, but rather people from a variety of career backgrounds. The common thread was that they all seemed to have very focused and driven personalities - driven to find career success, driven to learn from failures, driven to take care of their physical and mental health, and driven to continue to learn.
That’s LA for ya 🤩
The First Guy (David) and 7th guy's (Newton) Calm/Humble Energy really made this video worth while People like them are so magnetic. Good vibes.
these interviews were so refreshing. the questions and answers were great. i was not expecting to learn a great deal of helpful information at a gym. appreciate you Charlie & all
I absolutely love that you ask people what book they recommend!!! Love this!! Keep up the amazing work!!
The first guy is fun to hang out with. He's really insightful and knows what he's doing
agreed selling calls on bluechip stocks is probably one of the safest and quickest ways to snowball money into wealth and all the other things he had going too with solar sales. all at 24. very imprssive
@@OKZK_Bros but he sells put options
"My brother-in-law set me up with a firm" yeah that's definitely solid advice. Just make sure you have an attractive sister so she can marry a wealthy guy with many connections and get you the job the other 50 more qualified applicants could not get. The first guy is everything wrong with the world. It's about LITERALLY who you know and NOT what you know
@@dsgarden in the end he worked his way to understanding the work, digging himself out of debt. I think that's deserving enough
@UCZYCHe8EO4r99v0_7Q_oVdA Sure luck plays a key role but to completely discredit his work and ability because of such luck seems rather trivial no?
Equinox comes as a free perk for a lot of people through their employer. I had it for a few years at no cost, so it doesn't always mean they're paying/ loaded.
At the very least it means they have a decent job
If they have a job that's paying for Equinox, they're definitely well off.
ok but what employers? tech workers are pretty well off and I don't know a single one with free equinox
@@thistamndypo I'm not going to DOX myself but I work for an RPA software company that has it comped if you live in a city with an Equinox.
@@abdulqasemi3585 that's actually not really true. I work at a tea shop paying me $20 per hour full time and they pay for my Equinox membership through a gym reimbursement perk.
These episodes are my favourites. Just 20 mins before my work starts in the morning and I am so pumped up and ready for the day. Looking for more. Thank you so much for all these videos.
these were all fantastic, thank you!
All of these conversations were amazing! Seems like a lot of these people are practicing the things that most people say to do (think long-term and not short-term, invest into yourself, doing what you thoroughly enjoy, health is wealth, read books, journal/reflect, have mentors who are further ahead than you so you don't make as many mistakes, networking, etc.)
Idk the first guy was selling weekly options and not investing
@@JohnSmith-zs1bf And?
We call it being cliché but in reality it’s these simple lessons that we ignore and then wonder why we are where we are.
It’s the Instagram preaching in real life.
I'm so glad that Jim mentioned the stats about being sure of your trade. You have to assess what your downside risk is for your portfolio and diversify with different asset classes such as both real estate and stocks.
The first guy you could tell was so genuine and knew what he was talking about. He gave great advice and you can tell he tries to truly live like a successful person
These real-life advices are gold! Real experiences from people who went through it.
surprisingly high quality answers
First dude was humble as hell and shared hella valuable information! Much respect for his honesty and advice!
Honestly haven't enjoyed a TH-cam video like this in so long! Everyone had something meaningful and valauable to say. Geat video!
I would have to agree with Sunny, most people don’t enjoy the gym and Equinox provides a gym experience that really isn’t comparable to other mainstream gyms or local gyms. The amenities provided alone do give a luxurious feel without having to pay unnecessarily high. The monthly payments make sense to an extent, but I feel like $250 - $300 is where the membership should be
A lot of people are talking about the first guy, but for the average person, Jim’s advice was easily the best.
I love that these are long form interviews. Really useful material from the guests
This is not a long-form interview. These are just a few minutes.
@@gurupurkha for a random stranger walking up and interrupting whatever youre doing, id say these are some pretty lengthy and informative answers
@@FrizzFridge I supposed I'm biased since I listen to three-hour-long podcasts and consider those long-form interviews.
Bro we are same profile picture gang 🔥🔥🔥
Dude this was a really cool video. Great to get advice from so many different perspectives. A lot of people will watch this and not understand how much value there is in this!
These interview videos are really really great Charlie - please do more of them and I can't wait for the next one!
The first gentleman to be interviewed was very humble. This is why he is successful.
First guy was humble and well spoken. Definitely an awesome guy 💪
Very refreshing content. I feel like I've just had a whole semester of MBA at a prestigious university. Keep up the good work!
Can't believe content like this is free. People take everything for granted nowadays that we forget just a few years ago insights like this, though barely scratch the surface, are only available if you're really well connected or have decent amount of resources.
You have to continue with these video series! I love to watch them, I would even watch a longer version! It is always amazing to hear some of those successful people giving advice.
Yes I will! Glad you find them useful for your journey
@@CharlieChang thank you you did a great job with this idea better one with the interviewing 👍
Hey Charlie, I love these interview type videos as it gives me a fresh vibe from your channel and they are also value-packed. I would love to see more of such value packed videos. Keep them coming :)
Love this video Charlie!! Great job brother
Impressive how well these people answered these questions. A lot of great wisdom from experience from the people shown in the video @charlie!
Loved this segment, I've always wondered these things when I'm out and people watching, please make more!
I come across financial channels when I can, and I’m glad I can add another one to my list to watch. It’s a pleasure to come across this channel and can’t wait to learn! Thank you, Charlie!
I got more than I was expecting from this video. I appreciate their willingness to such useful information.
i'm actually surprised i lasted the whole video. really great interviewing style. learned a lot from these individuals
I used to be a member of this gym for two years and loved it. I would work on my laptop in the cafe and work out twice a day (usually weights and a class). For someone who spent more than half my workweek there, it was totally worth it. Also the people there are (mostly) really genuine like you show in this video.
Interesting…
Which equinox is this? The facilities look amazing.
@@ketchyshubby It's Sports Club Orange County in Irvine.
@@achintsanghi4169 That’s good.
Biggest expense was always living, ie house or rent payments, things to splurge on was ALWAYS food, and every single one of them talked about connections and investing, whether that was in stocks or yourself through learning and even vacations.
if humans didn't need to eat ... that would sure take away a lot of burdens.
i spend ab 1k-3k on food a month so yes this is accurate
@@BowdowntoAnnaConda start cooking at home
@@BowdowntoAnnaConda damn thats a lot😮
Really enjoyed this video... will be watching more!
Thank you for this video, this was actually really interesting from a content perspective but also providing the idea of putting yourself in the right places to meet incredible people!
This was actually a really great video with a lot of practical lessons. Thank you for making this video for us!
Dude this video was great! Very motivating and cool to see people hustle with their knowledge and skills. Def much needed.
I work in tech and pay 320 at equinox because when I want to choke someone at work I just get it out at the gym and the amenities are impeccable. The ambiance at equinox really helps you relax, plus their classes are amazing
I love how engaged and open they are. Great rapport 👏
First person interviewed was definitely very transparent on his answers, which is appreciated. Also very good questions.
Love this interview, showing again that not being a rich is bad, but showing off is, all of those guys know what they really want for themselves and remove all fluff to be happy
I think the value of college depends on so many factors. I come from a poor family and was raised in the hood. Education in itself became a currency. I was too smart to settle for that environment. College was my way out and it’s made a huge difference in my life. I don’t know if I’ll be getting a Master’s though👀
This was such a good video. One of my favorite things in life is learning from people. Hence why I follow this channel. So much great advice that left me inspired and motivated. Thank you
One of the best videos I’ve seen in awhile. Thank you! Excited for more content like this.
I've been an Equinox member for over a decade. I'm a health coach and write it off on my taxes 😆. I am a member at one of their exclusive gyms at the highest level. At the same time, I also was a trainer there when it was owned by another high end chain. Equinox is the best investment in my health. And at the same time, gives me the motivation to keep building my business to enjoy luxuries like this and not worry about it.
Great video! Chill, informative, productive, short interviews.
This is gold man! Thank you so much for finding people who actually were open enough to share such valuable nuggets with us. And that last girl, I hope you got her number lol
I came lookin for this reply, I was thinkin the same thang lmaoooo
That yoga teacher looks great for his age! I've been doing and loving yoga for months now and I've been thinking about becoming licensed to teach it as well so I appreciate his advice on that
Yes!
This was unexpectedly great! Good work man
This was very informative. All of them seem so positive and down to earth.
All these people have amazing social skills, I'm impressed.
The one common denominator between everyone is that they’ve all got a good head on their shoulders! Great video and great perspective
This is becoming one of my favorite channels. Motivating
All these people are inspiring. Thank you for putting this together.
man what a good video, everyone looks so genuinely
This was such an insightful q&a. I really felt that each person provided such great insight and knowledge to their success. Thank you.
After I finished watching the video, I had to go back to watch that first guy again. He is so well spoken and inspiring.
Great video man! Great value for time! Thank you!
Lots of value from this video, thank you Charlie!
Awesome content! I am motivation by this video. The presentation of the information and the gym community is fire bro. Keep it up.
this was amazing and even grounding as far as the many perspectives given. I loved the interview the interviewer portion.
Awesome video! Thank you! You're a great interviewer! Great questions and great random guests! You've got yourself a new sub! I'm glad I randomly was suggested this!
Newton was super wholesome, we should all strive to be more like this man
I agree
Never seen your channel before, but what a great video and idea. Good questions, transitions, and cuts. Bravo you earned a sub
The yoga guy with wishing he started saving earlier 🙏 so true! Saving is such a luxury sometimes when you’re focusing on survival.
One of the best videos! So honest! Actually such good people
Loving this videos man. Keep it up with these daily videos
This was insanely interesting! Thank you for this. Super valuable conversations.
Awe. I appreciate David's point of view and level-headed sense.
that was so cool man. thank you everyone who participated.
First time coming across this channel. This video alone made me subscribe within the first two minutes. High quality information.
you would be surprised how great the gym is for networking! first guy nailed it
Holy smokes! I stumbled across your channel as I recently accepted a position in Newport Beach and wanted to learn more of the area. The guy you interviewed (Sonny) used to be my manager at a telecommunications company. Great guy, glad to see he is doing well!
I extremely enjoyed this video! The range of people interviewed was great! 🥰
Would love to see another one of these!
Best teaching experience am getting from this episode. 🙌🏽 I will be re-watching as a life lesson.
This video is such a gem I got genuinely great advice
these interviews were 🔥🔥 these ppl were hella cool dropping gems!!
Incredibly valuable video Charlie! Learned a ton and inspired to do!
