I've been working 17 00:00:41,219 --> 00:00:45,360 all kinds of jobs as you're going to 18 00:00:43,079 --> 00:00:47,040 hear in this video since I was about 14. 19 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,719 many of them not related to software 20 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,700 engineering many of them related to 21 00:00:48,719 --> 00:00:52,620 software engineering anyways stick with 22 00:00:50,700 --> 00:00:54,180 me for this video I'm gonna bring you on 23 00:00:52,620 --> 00:00:56,340 the journey and talk to you about how I 24 00:00:54,180 --> 00:00:57,840 got to the place I'm at today so just as 25 00:00:56,340 --> 00:00:59,699 a bit of added context here in case 26 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,680 you're new to the channel my name is Tim 27 00:00:59,699 --> 00:01:03,960 I currently work as the lead software 28 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:06,119 engineer for a tech startup that I am a 29 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:08,280 co-founder in now I am not the majority 30 00:01:06,119 --> 00:01:09,960 shareholder I was brought on about a 31 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,820 year ago to kind of run the whole 32 00:01:09,960 --> 00:01:13,500 engineering department we have a few 33 00:01:11,820 --> 00:01:15,119 other developers that work with me I 34 00:01:13,500 --> 00:01:17,400 kind of manage a team of them right now 35 00:01:15,119 --> 00:01:19,200 and that's what I'm up to for most of my 36 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:21,360 day other than filming YouTube videos 37 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:23,400 regardless let me give you the whole 38 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,320 kind of Journey until how I got to this 39 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:28,259 point so let's go all the way back to 40 00:01:25,320 --> 00:01:30,479 2014 where I landed my first job ever 41 00:01:28,259 --> 00:01:32,340 and this was working as an assistant for 42 00:01:30,479 --> 00:01:34,680 the company that my dad worked for which 43 00:01:32,340 --> 00:01:36,960 did high-end home automation and when I 44 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,880 say high-end home automation this means 45 00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:41,040 that they're doing Lighting systems AV 46 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,900 systems security systems automatic 47 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:45,000 Shades pretty much anything that you 48 00:01:42,900 --> 00:01:47,400 could imagine kind of being required 49 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,439 when you get into really big homes all 50 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,420 kinds of crazy stuff worked in all kinds 51 00:01:49,439 --> 00:01:53,700 of mansions and for very very wealthy 52 00:01:51,420 --> 00:01:55,020 people regardless what I did there was 53 00:01:53,700 --> 00:01:57,119 pretty much just work as kind of like a 54 00:01:55,020 --> 00:01:59,040 grunt person I helped out on job sites 55 00:01:57,119 --> 00:02:00,780 and then I programmed Lighting systems 56 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,280 which meant that if you press the keypad 57 00:02:00,780 --> 00:02:04,140 it would like turn this light on or make 58 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,820 the shade go up or down super super 59 00:02:04,140 --> 00:02:07,799 basic stuff it was just pretty much the 60 00:02:05,820 --> 00:02:10,739 only job I could get because my dad got 61 00:02:07,799 --> 00:02:13,080 it for me when I was 14 years old then I 62 00:02:10,739 --> 00:02:15,480 was making about 15 an hour whatever the 63 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:17,160 minimum wage would have been in 2014 in 64 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:20,520 Canada and that was the first job that I 65 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:22,319 had when I was 14. continuing in 2015 I 66 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,879 started working at a summer camp now 67 00:02:22,319 --> 00:02:25,620 this summer camp was one I had been to 68 00:02:23,879 --> 00:02:27,599 many times I knew a lot of people that 69 00:02:25,620 --> 00:02:29,580 worked there already and it was very 70 00:02:27,599 --> 00:02:30,959 easy for me to get that job since I had 71 00:02:29,580 --> 00:02:33,180 been going to the summer camp for like 72 00:02:30,959 --> 00:02:35,160 years before that regardless I worked as 73 00:02:33,180 --> 00:02:37,739 a counselor and I made three hundred 74 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:39,840 dollars a week yes 300 a week which was 75 00:02:37,739 --> 00:02:41,400 much lower than minimum wage somehow 76 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,200 they can actually pay you less when you 77 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,060 work for a camp regardless I wasn't 78 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,560 complaining with no expenses that was 79 00:02:45,060 --> 00:02:48,300 still good money for me back when I was 80 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:51,480 15 years old now I continued working at 81 00:02:48,300 --> 00:02:52,980 the summer camp from 2015 to 2017 each 82 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,019 year making a little bit more money but 83 00:02:52,980 --> 00:02:56,940 pretty much doing the same thing as a 84 00:02:55,019 --> 00:03:00,000 summer camp counselor so I think I made 85 00:02:56,940 --> 00:03:02,280 300 and then I made maybe 400 a week and 86 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,599 then by the time I was in my third year 87 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:06,060 of being a counselor I probably made 88 00:03:03,599 --> 00:03:07,800 like 475 dollars a week or something 89 00:03:06,060 --> 00:03:10,680 along those lines 90 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:12,540 then in 2017 at this point I'm 17 years 91 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,459 old and in high school while I wasn't 92 00:03:12,540 --> 00:03:16,860 working in the summer I decided to pick 93 00:03:14,459 --> 00:03:18,480 up a job at McDonald's I just worked as 94 00:03:16,860 --> 00:03:20,400 a normal crew member I wasn't like a 95 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,739 manager or anything like that and I made 96 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,659 minimum wage worked about 15 or 20 hours 97 00:03:22,739 --> 00:03:26,280 per week and I did this just to make a 98 00:03:24,659 --> 00:03:28,379 bit of extra money while I was in school 99 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:30,420 now keep in mind at this point in time 100 00:03:28,379 --> 00:03:32,760 I've just started my YouTube channel 101 00:03:30,420 --> 00:03:34,800 it's very much a hobby I have less than 102 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,480 a thousand subscribers I'm making pretty 103 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,739 much no money from it and it's just 104 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,599 something I'm kind of doing for fun 105 00:03:37,739 --> 00:03:41,280 obviously I need to do other jobs if I 106 00:03:39,599 --> 00:03:42,420 want to make any kind of money and I've 107 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,099 always been interested in making money 108 00:03:42,420 --> 00:03:45,959 so I was pretty much always doing any 109 00:03:44,099 --> 00:03:48,180 kind of job I could just to make a bit 110 00:03:45,959 --> 00:03:51,900 of extra cash while still focusing on 111 00:03:48,180 --> 00:03:54,239 school fun Etc alright so now in 2018 112 00:03:51,900 --> 00:03:56,640 this is when I decided to go back to the 113 00:03:54,239 --> 00:03:58,319 summer camp again this year however I 114 00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:00,780 was promoted to a stem program 115 00:03:58,319 --> 00:04:03,120 coordinator which meant that I was going 116 00:04:00,780 --> 00:04:04,739 to run a coding specialty as well as 117 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:07,260 take care of all the STEM related 118 00:04:04,739 --> 00:04:09,000 programming at the camp so that meant 119 00:04:07,260 --> 00:04:11,939 that I was doing things like overseeing 120 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,860 robotic Specialties 3D printing uh 121 00:04:11,939 --> 00:04:15,720 handling kind of third-party people or 122 00:04:13,860 --> 00:04:17,459 Freelancers that would come in and work 123 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,380 for the camp and that's kind of what I 124 00:04:17,459 --> 00:04:21,239 did it was a more management role but I 125 00:04:19,380 --> 00:04:22,560 also taught kids how to program and 126 00:04:21,239 --> 00:04:23,759 that's what continued to kind of 127 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,220 encourage me to work on the YouTube 128 00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:28,139 channel so I had videos that kids could 129 00:04:26,220 --> 00:04:30,479 watch after Camp 130 00:04:28,139 --> 00:04:31,860 um kind of at home and to learn more at 131 00:04:30,479 --> 00:04:33,300 this point my YouTube channel had picked 132 00:04:31,860 --> 00:04:35,040 up a little bit I had a few thousand 133 00:04:33,300 --> 00:04:37,440 subscribers I was making a little bit of 134 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:39,180 money from that and I think uh the pay 135 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:42,120 that I was making from being a stem 136 00:04:39,180 --> 00:04:44,280 program coordinator was like 575 dollars 137 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,720 a week so I was making let's say three 138 00:04:44,280 --> 00:04:48,120 grand a month if you take you know the 139 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:51,840 YouTube channel and you add my salary as 140 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:53,759 a program coordinator now in 2019 I 141 00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:55,680 decided to do this again so this is when 142 00:04:53,759 --> 00:04:57,180 I was in first year university the 143 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,620 YouTube channel had picked up even more 144 00:04:57,180 --> 00:05:00,720 I was probably making a few thousand 145 00:04:58,620 --> 00:05:02,940 dollars a month now from YouTube as well 146 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:05,340 as working again in the summer as a stem 147 00:05:02,940 --> 00:05:08,520 program coordinator and this time I 148 00:05:05,340 --> 00:05:10,979 think I managed to get 750 a week after 149 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,000 negotiating that salary and all of a 150 00:05:10,979 --> 00:05:13,860 sudden I was starting to make you know 151 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,660 what felt like a lot of money for a 19 152 00:05:13,860 --> 00:05:17,580 year old with pretty much no expenses 153 00:05:15,660 --> 00:05:20,400 that had just entered first year 154 00:05:17,580 --> 00:05:22,139 university now at this point uh this is 155 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,000 kind of where the career trajectory 156 00:05:22,139 --> 00:05:26,220 changes a bit and I go from kind of all 157 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,020 these random part-time jobs to doing 158 00:05:26,220 --> 00:05:30,120 some more serious software engineering 159 00:05:28,020 --> 00:05:32,460 related work or at least coding kind of 160 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:34,860 focused work us let me get into that now 161 00:05:32,460 --> 00:05:36,600 so in 2019 there was a portion of the 162 00:05:34,860 --> 00:05:38,759 Summer where I wasn't working for the 163 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,740 summer camp and during that portion I 164 00:05:38,759 --> 00:05:43,080 worked as a junior system administrator 165 00:05:40,740 --> 00:05:44,880 again for the company that my dad worked 166 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,560 for this time I was doing much more 167 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,660 serious programming work where I was 168 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,280 actually writing legitimate code I was 169 00:05:48,660 --> 00:05:52,380 writing a bit of code in Python I was 170 00:05:50,280 --> 00:05:53,940 writing some code in Visual Basic and I 171 00:05:52,380 --> 00:05:55,979 was doing some very kind of simple 172 00:05:53,940 --> 00:05:57,600 programming tasks and getting some 173 00:05:55,979 --> 00:05:58,680 systems to kind of integrate with each 174 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,960 other just doing a little bit of 175 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:03,120 networking stuff kind of just working in 176 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:05,340 the tech department and had a little bit 177 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:07,139 more you know like say trust I wouldn't 178 00:06:05,340 --> 00:06:09,180 say necessarily responsible ability but 179 00:06:07,139 --> 00:06:11,520 they were giving me more adult type 180 00:06:09,180 --> 00:06:13,740 tasks to be doing and that was the first 181 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:16,560 kind of real let's say programming job 182 00:06:13,740 --> 00:06:19,139 that I had had so continuing from there 183 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,940 in 2020 this is when my YouTube channel 184 00:06:19,139 --> 00:06:22,919 really started picking up I probably had 185 00:06:20,940 --> 00:06:24,660 about a hundred thousand subscribers and 186 00:06:22,919 --> 00:06:27,240 I started to make what was pretty much a 187 00:06:24,660 --> 00:06:29,220 full-time income from YouTube at that 188 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:31,020 point in time was probably 40 or 50 189 00:06:29,220 --> 00:06:33,000 Grand a year that I was generating from 190 00:06:31,020 --> 00:06:35,100 YouTube now through having the YouTube 191 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:38,220 channel I managed to get an interview at 192 00:06:35,100 --> 00:06:40,500 Microsoft this is in 2020 and I landed a 193 00:06:38,220 --> 00:06:42,960 job as a Microsoft software engineering 194 00:06:40,500 --> 00:06:45,539 intern so throughout the summer of 2020 195 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:47,280 I worked as a Microsoft intern while I 196 00:06:45,539 --> 00:06:48,560 was working as an intern at Microsoft I 197 00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:52,259 made 10 198 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:55,080 290 dollars per month plus a stipend of 199 00:06:52,259 --> 00:06:57,539 4 900 uh Canadian dollars so I made 200 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:59,819 effectively let's say 35 000 Canadian 201 00:06:57,539 --> 00:07:02,220 dollars within three months of my 202 00:06:59,819 --> 00:07:04,020 Microsoft internship obviously that was 203 00:07:02,220 --> 00:07:05,819 insane and that was the highest income 204 00:07:04,020 --> 00:07:07,319 earning year I had so I had all the 205 00:07:05,819 --> 00:07:09,660 money from you YouTube channel which was 206 00:07:07,319 --> 00:07:12,000 like 45 50 Grand something like that 207 00:07:09,660 --> 00:07:15,539 plus all of the money from my Microsoft 208 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:20,400 internship so I made let's say 75 000 in 209 00:07:15,539 --> 00:07:21,960 2020. then comes 2021 in 2021 I stopped 210 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,120 working at Microsoft because my YouTube 211 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,800 channel was kind of just blowing up I 212 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:28,199 continued working quite a bit on YouTube 213 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:30,660 ended up making six figures on YouTube 214 00:07:28,199 --> 00:07:33,539 and then I started working as an 215 00:07:30,660 --> 00:07:34,979 algorithms instructor at algo Expo so at 216 00:07:33,539 --> 00:07:37,380 this point in time I had already landed 217 00:07:34,979 --> 00:07:39,539 a legitimate software engineering role I 218 00:07:37,380 --> 00:07:42,000 had some experience teaching through my 219 00:07:39,539 --> 00:07:43,380 uh kind of work at the summer camp and 220 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,000 obviously I have my YouTube channel now 221 00:07:43,380 --> 00:07:47,099 which was a bit more credible I had a 222 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,720 bit more um let's say substance to the 223 00:07:47,099 --> 00:07:50,759 videos and knowledge that I was sharing 224 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,620 and I ended up working for algo expert 225 00:07:50,759 --> 00:07:54,479 when I worked for algo expert I 226 00:07:52,620 --> 00:07:56,819 explained data structures and algorithm 227 00:07:54,479 --> 00:07:58,620 style interview questions all of those 228 00:07:56,819 --> 00:08:00,780 are still available on the website you 229 00:07:58,620 --> 00:08:03,180 guys can check it out and after working 230 00:08:00,780 --> 00:08:05,160 as an algorithms instructor I actually 231 00:08:03,180 --> 00:08:07,440 created my own course with algo expert 232 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:09,720 called programming expert so I did this 233 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:12,360 course in 2021 so to kind of backtrack a 234 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:14,340 bit here 2020 I worked for Microsoft I 235 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:16,080 became an algorithms instructor for algo 236 00:08:14,340 --> 00:08:18,539 expert obviously this whole time I was 237 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:20,639 running the YouTube channel then in 2021 238 00:08:18,539 --> 00:08:22,080 we created the programming expert course 239 00:08:20,639 --> 00:08:24,720 which you guys can check out from the 240 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:26,819 link in the description and then in 2022 241 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,440 with algo expert again we created the 242 00:08:26,819 --> 00:08:30,360 blockchain expert course which is for 243 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:32,279 anyone looking to get into web 3 or 244 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,599 blockchain development again you can 245 00:08:32,279 --> 00:08:35,159 check that out from the link in the 246 00:08:33,599 --> 00:08:36,360 description now just to give you a bit 247 00:08:35,159 --> 00:08:37,979 more information here because I know 248 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:40,919 this is kind of all over the place and 249 00:08:37,979 --> 00:08:44,520 not very structured from the years of 250 00:08:40,919 --> 00:08:46,440 2019 until kind of the middle of 2021 I 251 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,240 was actually a full-time student in a 252 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,980 computer science degree program I 253 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,720 completed five out of eight of the 254 00:08:49,980 --> 00:08:53,220 semesters of that program before I 255 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,320 decided to drop out just due to the 256 00:08:53,220 --> 00:08:57,120 other opportunities that I had but that 257 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:59,339 is why I was working kind of summer jobs 258 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:01,260 and I never had any full-time position 259 00:08:59,339 --> 00:09:02,880 it was because I was constantly being a 260 00:09:01,260 --> 00:09:04,200 student while running this YouTube 261 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,120 channel which was pretty much a 262 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,920 full-time job at that point and then 263 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:10,200 doing any kind of Summer gig that I 264 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:12,060 would take on so it wasn't until 2021 265 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:14,339 that I was able to really fully commit 266 00:09:12,060 --> 00:09:16,140 to doing things like being an algorithms 267 00:09:14,339 --> 00:09:18,240 instructor creating this programming 268 00:09:16,140 --> 00:09:19,500 expert in blockchain expert course and 269 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,300 then of course running the YouTube 270 00:09:19,500 --> 00:09:22,620 channel which obviously at this point is 271 00:09:21,300 --> 00:09:24,000 doing quite well and that I'm going to 272 00:09:22,620 --> 00:09:26,519 continue to do for the foreseeable 273 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:29,040 future now though I'll also mention that 274 00:09:26,519 --> 00:09:30,839 in 2022 is when I became the lead 275 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:33,000 software engineer for this Tech startup 276 00:09:30,839 --> 00:09:35,339 so about a year and two months ago from 277 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:37,620 filming this video I was approached by 278 00:09:35,339 --> 00:09:39,180 the current founder of our company who 279 00:09:37,620 --> 00:09:40,980 asked me if I wanted to come on and 280 00:09:39,180 --> 00:09:42,660 leave the engineering team obviously 281 00:09:40,980 --> 00:09:44,399 this was the biggest kind of engineering 282 00:09:42,660 --> 00:09:45,300 role I could possibly take on this was 283 00:09:44,399 --> 00:09:47,040 going to be the most amount of 284 00:09:45,300 --> 00:09:48,540 responsibility the most amount of stuff 285 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,220 that I needed to learn and just 286 00:09:48,540 --> 00:09:52,320 something that I hadn't done before to 287 00:09:50,220 --> 00:09:54,959 be honest I probably wasn't qualified to 288 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:57,000 be a senior software engineer here at 289 00:09:54,959 --> 00:09:58,019 this company but I took on the role I 290 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,399 said you know what I'm gonna figure it 291 00:09:58,019 --> 00:10:01,560 out I'm gonna deal with it and that's 292 00:09:59,399 --> 00:10:03,060 what I've done today now after taking on 293 00:10:01,560 --> 00:10:05,040 that and working for about a year 294 00:10:03,060 --> 00:10:07,500 programming pretty much every single day 295 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:09,660 on a really large scale project I feel 296 00:10:07,500 --> 00:10:11,519 way more confident and way better in my 297 00:10:09,660 --> 00:10:13,080 programming skills and I'm going to 298 00:10:11,519 --> 00:10:15,420 continue to do that so I'm super super 299 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:17,220 happy I took that position obviously it 300 00:10:15,420 --> 00:10:19,140 was very intimidating when I first kind 301 00:10:17,220 --> 00:10:21,600 of got brought on and was just expected 302 00:10:19,140 --> 00:10:24,240 to run all of this stuff but I figured 303 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:26,279 it out and yeah there you go so I know 304 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:28,620 that this video is kind of all over the 305 00:10:26,279 --> 00:10:30,180 place but what I wanted to show with 306 00:10:28,620 --> 00:10:31,560 this video is that everyone has a 307 00:10:30,180 --> 00:10:33,420 different Journey when it comes to being 308 00:10:31,560 --> 00:10:36,000 a developer or Landing some kind of 309 00:10:33,420 --> 00:10:37,440 software engineering job for me mine was 310 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,180 kind of all over the place I've been 311 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,860 programming for 10 years yet I've only 312 00:10:39,180 --> 00:10:43,080 really been working as a software 313 00:10:40,860 --> 00:10:44,579 engineer for say the past four years a 314 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,620 lot of my experience as a software 315 00:10:44,579 --> 00:10:48,180 engineer is simply self-taught it's 316 00:10:46,620 --> 00:10:49,500 through making YouTube videos it's 317 00:10:48,180 --> 00:10:51,899 through teaching you guys it's through 318 00:10:49,500 --> 00:10:52,980 making courses and experimenting and 319 00:10:51,899 --> 00:10:55,079 kind of teaming up with other 320 00:10:52,980 --> 00:10:56,760 programmers around the internet I 321 00:10:55,079 --> 00:10:59,100 haven't had a ton of formal software 322 00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,899 engineering experience yet I'd still say 323 00:10:59,100 --> 00:11:02,160 I'm a pretty competent programmer and 324 00:11:00,899 --> 00:11:03,360 obviously you guys can judge that for 325 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,700 yourself when you watch my YouTube 326 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:07,320 videos go through my courses and see the 327 00:11:05,700 --> 00:11:08,760 kind of apps that I'm building and that 328 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:11,339 I'll release and share with you guys 329 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:13,800 later in the year uh and kind of you 330 00:11:11,339 --> 00:11:15,480 know give you updates as we go along in 331 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,040 terms of what the future holds I have no 332 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,660 idea I'm going to continue working for 333 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,579 this Tech startup I'm going to be making 334 00:11:18,660 --> 00:11:22,320 a
