This was really great. Appreciate the thoughtful shoutout and looking forward to seeing how your journey evolves. Still kind of crazy that my book made it to Australia and is getting people to imagine new paths. Dream big man
Thanks heaps Paul. Means a lot. I don’t think I would have got to the starting line without stumbling across your book. Big fan of the podcast also! Plenty of fans Down Under mate and I am spreading the good word! 😂
Thanks so much for this comment. It’s hard to know which direction to go sometimes when the possibilities are endless. I have many ideas and once I finish my current backpacking journey I would like to really knuckle down and produce more stuff like this, invest in a proper camera and continue skilling up 💪
Thanks RK. BTW - wouldn't have had the last few years any differently! Worked with some amazing mentors and needed to learn how to work hard, relate to my peers and figure out what I do and don't like! Hope you are well
Kudos to you. Very keen to follow along! I suspect there might be a few people coming out of the corporate woodwork aren’t much of a fan of the lifestyle (me)…
Cheers Bundy. Quite overwhelmed by the responses actually. A really common theme. Because IMO so many of us came through educational systems where that was deemed to be the optimal path. For many it may be, but the point js that the cookie cutter can’t apply to everyone. Best of luck with it mate, recommend Paul’s book and Tim Ferriss’s idea of ‘fear setting’. 👍🤝
Let's say i discovered a gem on the Rough before others...and make sure to Reach hights so that i can actually brag about you man! And! Sammy sent me too 😂
Hi Barney, absolutely love this. Love the tone, camerawork and editing of the video (For a first video, I could tell you've put in a lot of work and thoughts into this). It takes guts to share your life, walk from your job/gf to start a youtube channel so for this I applaud you. How much would you say your recent trip to Japan has reaffirmed your notion to start a TH-cam channel?
Thanks Wallace. Hope you are well mate. I was actually set on the mission and scheming away well before Japan - but I originally starting thinking about the concept on my first big (~5 weeks) solo travel trip to Indonesia in mid 2022. I met some amazing people and one night on the beers got chatting to a Brazilian motocross rider (no joke) who told me an absolutely insane story involving him riding a motorbike across Mexico, featuring a series of unbelievable events including a week-long cartel party. A story for another day (might not be YT friendly lol) - but it blew me away and initially got me thinking: I hear so many cool stories while travelling, it would be awesome to share them / document them. I also don't mind getting in front of a camera, have always been intersted in performance and entertainment, and love travel - so hence the broad idea to weave it all in together. I guess it will take me time to figure out what works best and find my niche, and how I can make it sustainable.
Unreal video mate, have watched a lot of these vlog / content creation type videos and many of the popular TH-camrs don’t put in this much effort or quality videography. So much potential!! Very excited to see the travel updates and content too
Nice video Barn. You are obviously talented, imaginative and courageous with a good work ethic so you will be successful whatever path you follow. One thing. That thing of beauty is not a ‘truck’. It’s a Landcruiser FJ40 and much loved by many. Your father was a genius with impeccable taste securing it. Put it in a shed and look after it.
Takes a lot of courage to do what you did Barn, wishing you all the best in this new phase of your life 🙏 if you ever make it to China (Shanghai) in your travels, I know someone with a really interesting story that I think would be worth your time to meet (also a content creator with quite a few followers so maybe could do a collab or something).
Thanks Jimbo. Good to hear from you. I would love to do a pilgrimage through China and have thought about it a lot (read an amazing book called ‘Mr China’ recently you might find interesting). It’s not in my current plan for this year but let’s see how we go in future! Will 100% reach out if so mate
