This is a YouTube video titled "and that’s the honest truth #techjobs #techcareer #careeradvice" (uploaded 2026-06-09). It contains an English first-person monologue by a single speaker recounting their career: creating "Torque" at Bayco, being asked to start a division, recruiting people onto a draw-based compensation model, building a Trello-based platform, facing criticism for their content, and experiencing significant imposter syndrome and insecurity while transitioning into a creative-director role for conventional businesses.

Chapters

I essentially created Torque at Bayco. I was asked to start my own division because of the amount of job opportunities I was bringing in because of the content I was creating. And I had to convince everybody to come work for me on a draw. So what a draw is, is that you don't really have a salary. You do, but you don't. And you have to pay it back if you don't meet your sales goals. Tried to convince 7 people to come build a platform with me. that was based on Trello. I had people come out later say that they made fun of me behind my back because of the content I was putting out. Now I'm moving into like my brother texts me, he's like, you're kind of like a creative director for like boring businesses. Yeah, exactly. Everything I'm doing, I don't know what I'm doing. All I'm doing is looking at my, my people who I look up to in like the creative space. I'm like, I want that. Let's go build that. And we're doing it. So everything I've done, nobody's told me to do. I have dealt with more imposter syndrome in the last 5 years of my career than ever. I've been so insecure.
