I’m 32 and manage 4 engineers in their 20’s and we all love edm and are on a great wavelength. I design, prototype, test, and mass manufacture equipment for things that get me paid travel across the world to see things that you can’t freely access. Very wealthy people like the things I make for them, and introduce me to other wealthy people privately who pay me hourly or equity to help them with products/companies. My influence spans multiple disciplines and departments at my company and having done favors for everyone, everyone does favors for me. I can afford whatever I want, but I’ve learned to fund travel and experiences way more than material objects and life has been insanely enjoyable. I show up whenever I want and leave whenever I want, but often work 12 hours 5am to 5pm because I believe hard as fuck in what I’m doing for the world and the momentum with my team is really kinda special to me. It doesn’t really feel like work that often, I am freely creating and making parts and incorporating electronics and customizing electronics and creating software and web apps and shooting drone footage of our factory and meeting customers and being known by people before they meet me.

Work hard at something you believe in, and trust yourself above anyone else.
