A short YouTube interview (June 26, 2024) in which Julian describes leaving a sales job to start a successful video business. The conversation emphasizes the role of community (Slack, peers), the difficulty and fear of investing in oneself, and Julian's belief that without taking the leap he would have stayed in sales—comfortable but unsatisfied building someone else’s work.
Being able to be on slack, ask questions, talk to other people that are basically in the same shoes as I am and, and have that level of community as well.
100%, man.
Yeah.
And I, I guess kind of a weird question, but I guess, like, where do you feel like you might have been if you hadn't taken the jump, right? Because it was obviously scary to leave the sales job, invest in yourself, like to where a lot of people get hung up. Like what, where do you feel like you would have been if maybe you hadn't taken that leap on yourself?
For sure I would still be there. I would still, yeah, I would still be there, man. I don't know. I would still be there. Probably comfortable trying to earn more where I was at, but then ultimately not really being happy or satisfied because I was just building something for somebody else.
