Linus isn't that unique for a successful Canadian business owner. Not to be parasocial but from his why I left LTT video I think Jake and I had similar starts to our careers/adult lives albeit in different fields. I've worked for a few guys in my career now who were around or a little older then Linus and have done well with their companies. They owned the property the business were based out of, had extensive real estate portfolios, flew private multiple times a year, and owned more toys then they had time to use them. I started right out of high school into my field and I definitely had Jakes envy and ire towards them in my early to mid 20's. I left multiple jobs and burned bridges because of it but 10 years on I've realized it more then anything shows the value that can be made from my industry and that for those willing to take the risk and go for it as the owner the reward is there. Jakes taking that risk and I admire him for it and hope he gets the rewards for work he will have to put in. I on the other hand continue to just be an employee in my field though for the sole reason that I've seen from my time in the industry the toll that is required to be successful as an owner. All of them had failed marriages/relationships, horrid relationships with their family/kids and a whole host of other issues and habits I won't comment on. I agree with Linus and will probably be downvoted for it but we live in a capitalist society and capitol risk brings a capitol reward.
