[0.00 --> 5.50] earlier this week did you did you tune into that disaster by any chance were you streaming it while |
[5.50 --> 12.74] i was at work uh no oh well still no okay fair enough um so i did like a 10-year anniversary |
[12.74 --> 17.66] stream with yvonne as kind of uh you and yvonne have been together 10 years no no we have well |
[17.66 --> 22.68] we've been together longer than that's really ambiguous yeah so it was 10 the 10-year linus |
[22.68 --> 29.86] tech tips anniversary okay so linus tech tips was started on the 25th of november 25th 26th |
[29.86 --> 39.08] whatever it was 25th or 26th of november 2008 10 years ago this whole enterprise began and uh so |
[39.08 --> 46.40] i thought it might be a cool idea to do like kind of a behind the scenes slash like q a uh like a get |
[46.40 --> 51.40] to know you for yvonne because a lot of people think that like i brought my wife to work kind of |
[51.40 --> 56.62] thing like there's been a lot of comments about like what's his wife doing at work and what does |
[56.62 --> 66.38] that mean ridiculous it means that like okay and to be clear i get it because i worked at a place |
[66.38 --> 71.06] where the boss brought his wife to work what does brought your wife work mean brought your wife to |
[71.06 --> 80.12] work means that for some reason the owner of the company's wife is there every day and |
[80.12 --> 88.86] barking orders at people even though she clearly has no idea what's going on so in that if someone |
[88.86 --> 96.06] were to do that does that does the boss's wife uh have formal employment there yes okay she did in |
[96.06 --> 103.46] this case and of course yvonne does here yeah so a lot of people seem to think that that's how things |
[103.46 --> 109.42] went down but it's not at all she's actually been involved since basically day one um and so i thought it |
[109.42 --> 114.08] would be cool to do like a stream to like kind of get to know her and find out you know what's what's |
[114.08 --> 120.52] going on or what she's done here over the years uh because it's not insignificant at all and i think |
[120.52 --> 125.18] it's just you're just lucky that your wife happened to be competent is that the only difference here |
[125.18 --> 133.58] um no because i don't see any reason why i would have involved her if she hadn't been yeah like and |
[133.58 --> 141.98] it's not just that like she drove me to make almost every major career decision that i have made |
[141.98 --> 146.96] in the last like we've actually been together like 13 years or something like that's been quite a long |
[146.96 --> 152.72] time only married for eight of it though um so so she was the one actually driving me she drove me to |
[152.72 --> 160.64] drop out of school which to be clear was actually the correct decision for me um she only drove me to do |
[160.64 --> 163.98] that not because she doesn't believe in school she finished her degree she just knew it would have |
[163.98 --> 171.28] taken linus forever to graduate maybe the plan was dependence she figured if i didn't get educated |
[171.28 --> 176.92] then i'd be stuck with her um yeah a lot of people don't know this actually that's another thing uh |
[176.92 --> 180.42] there's a lot of speculation that she's a gold digger actually |
[180.42 --> 189.60] she had much better prospects when we met than i did she's a pharmacist uh yes i don't know why she |
[189.60 --> 196.84] works here um so she was so she was in uh she was in pharmacy school when i met her so she had just |
[196.84 --> 202.16] she wasn't in the pharmacy program yet when we started dating but she got in shortly after we |
[202.16 --> 208.14] started dating so she was on a very clear trajectory and i was on academic probation |
[208.14 --> 214.90] at ubc at that time so i was on a very clear trajectory as well why are we on probation i was |
[214.90 --> 219.36] on sexual harassment smoking in the boys room academic probation for getting poor grades |
[219.36 --> 224.98] academic probation so it was gonna take you forever to graduate if i ever did no i would |
[224.98 --> 229.82] have gotten kicked out the only reason i didn't get kicked out was because i left you can't kick me |
[229.82 --> 234.56] out because i quit i'm out of here i'm out of here like they wouldn't i don't think they would |
[234.56 --> 241.40] ever let me back in that school so um where were you taking i was taking general science and i |
[241.40 --> 245.92] couldn't pass calculus for the life of me she was your tutor was she not uh she was my tutor but that |
[245.92 --> 252.92] was only because there was an interest that was not because i was like out looking for a tutor i just |
[252.92 --> 256.74] wouldn't have found a tutor and i would have probably gotten an even worse grade if not for her |
[256.74 --> 262.40] and that would have been impressive actually because i got 19 the first time around |
[262.40 --> 271.04] in calc 101 or 100 or whatever it is um so so anyway what what were we talking about right so |
[271.04 --> 277.54] anyway i so i remember making this joke at the time because i was around the time that i was dropping |
[277.54 --> 284.88] out to work for as a sales rep at a computer store and uh i so i forget what someone said to me but |
[284.88 --> 289.46] something like you know you know your wife's gonna be the breadwinner in the future like this is |
[289.46 --> 293.42] speculation we weren't even close to getting married at that point and i kind of went yeah |
[293.42 --> 300.46] you know what we live in enlightened times you know there's men can go to university for their |
[300.46 --> 306.02] mrs these days there's nothing wrong with that because there's this old sexist joke that men go |
[306.02 --> 312.22] to school men go to college or men go to university for their bas their mas and their phds and what do |
[312.22 --> 317.88] women go to university for their mrs and so i was like so it's kind of like a play on that |
[317.88 --> 324.62] very terrible joke it means misses yeah it means they're gonna it means like marrying someone who's |
[324.62 --> 330.46] gonna have a ba and na or a phd that's so anyway i that that was all that i got out of school was my |
[330.46 --> 340.64] mrs yeah uh well i mean i think it's like the trend is the other way now like almost the majority of |
[340.64 --> 345.84] couples couples i know the woman makes more really in my wife's friend group it's like that huh |
[345.84 --> 350.78] yeah maybe your wife's friend group though is just like highly educated highly driven women and |
[350.78 --> 354.38] maybe that's not necessarily well they're not highly educated they are highly driven they're all in |
[354.38 --> 362.52] sales sales just that's where the money's at sales is actually super underrated in terms of like oh you |
[362.52 --> 367.80] have grade 10 and you want to make 200 000 a year sales yeah career and personal planning should |
[367.80 --> 372.68] probably focus on sales skills and hold on give me one second i want to finish that thought from |
[372.68 --> 377.68] before the point is we tried to do that stream i managed to fail three times over the course of |
[377.68 --> 383.36] like four days we finally got it done last night go check it out like calculus um yeah actually my |
[383.36 --> 390.82] grade in streaming is slightly higher than calculus 25 uh it's so weird because in this world in this |
[390.82 --> 397.44] studio and in the youtube world and this computer world like you know you're the master of your domain |
[397.44 --> 401.58] here in this in this little linus world we live in and it's weird for me to think of linus like |
[401.58 --> 406.96] looking at a piece of paper and just being like i don't get it i don't know what to do i'm failing |
[406.96 --> 413.04] i was so frustrated like forget it i give up i can't think about this right now i'm just gonna go |
[413.04 --> 420.34] play counter-strike that was that was and she was like well you should you should just give up you |
[420.34 --> 425.72] should drop out it was less that it was more that i was sinking worse and worse into depression |
[425.72 --> 432.04] and clearly what i was doing with the painting business and school um where nothing was a success |
[432.04 --> 439.10] was not helping and this actually segues so perfectly into our talk about how important sales is |
[439.10 --> 445.72] because all of a sudden i had this opportunity to take this job at the computer store that was |
[445.72 --> 452.18] not a ton of money but because there was a commission there was the potential to kind of scale it |
[452.18 --> 459.52] and i was really passionate about it like i got a job at ncix because i was that kid on their forum |
[459.52 --> 468.68] that was constantly already a salesman and an ethical one like i wasn't about people just buying |
[468.68 --> 473.24] more i wasn't i wasn't even on commission i didn't even i wasn't even on the company payroll i was just |
[473.24 --> 480.50] hanging out on their forum because the ncix forum was quite frankly the shiz back in like the mid 2000s |
[480.50 --> 485.98] it was awesome it was super active great community there fantastic people can't say enough |
[485.98 --> 493.04] um cam you know who you are you're awesome anyway you're cam you're cam um but uh but anyway so i was |
[493.04 --> 498.38] already this kid hanging out on their forum basically doing the sales job which is advising people of what |
[498.38 --> 504.56] the right thing to buy is and helping them pick it and and making them making that relationship to ncix |
[504.56 --> 511.18] make it more likely that they probably buy it from ncix so even though they thought i was too young |
[511.18 --> 516.74] and they were looking for full-time people and i was only available part-time uh they made this this |
[516.74 --> 524.68] kind of this weird exception for me and i and i started my job there and it was it's amazing how much of |
[524.68 --> 532.74] life is sales and how applicable the sales skills that i kind of gained just by being an enthusiast and |
[532.74 --> 539.36] getting a job where my whole job was just to talk about my passion all day it's amazing how that |
[539.36 --> 547.26] is actually a big part of how i was able to end up where i am today and i i'll preach i'll preach sales |
[547.26 --> 554.74] training and and sales skills all day to anyone who will listen because if you think about it what in |
[554.74 --> 559.26] life is not sales engineering |
[559.26 --> 566.46] yes but i would make the argument that without sales there's always aspects right the engineers |
[566.46 --> 570.64] are probably in trouble you got to make your pitch you got to make your pitch to get the funding to |
[570.64 --> 576.40] build the thing sure get the project approved sure there's sales and engineering come on well i mean |
[576.40 --> 580.80] youtube chat give me something here it's synonymous with communication when you're going to be |
[580.80 --> 586.32] abstracted like that yes so and everything's communicating finding a finding a partner in |
[586.32 --> 592.64] life sales you've got it you got to sell them on what's have i got a deal for you what's good about |
[592.64 --> 601.26] you you know why why they should care why they should go on that first date that's sales sales is all |
[601.26 --> 607.80] about persuasive communication and calling it sales i think is sort of unfair it's just that that's |
[607.80 --> 614.72] usually the word at the end of whatever job title it is or associate or whatever whatever it's like |
