Do you know where I learned that? My first year of university summer, when I started estimating painting jobs.
I got into the University of British Columbia very comfortably.
I have three children, a boy and then two girls, and they're teenage, and then coming up on teenage, and a little bit younger than that.
That's my middle name, actually! Gabriel.
You know, I grew up on a hobby farm, but we didn't farm commercially, right?
Linus Pauling, who is actually the Linus for whom I'm named.
Yes I did paint houses. I painted houses for 2 summers, with Student Works Painting.
Then I was recruited during my first year of school as a Student Works Painting franchisee, so technically I was self-employed during this period even though I didn't fully understand that at the time.

The closest thing I've probably experienced would have been the depression that I went through during my second year of house painting? Just like kind of feeling everything's pointless and...why would you even get up, and just kind of can't do it anymore, can't face the day...like that kind of thing.

But the truth is I've been thinking about retiring for quite some time now.
I went through my whole thing recently where I was thinking about retiring, and whatever that would look like...whatever an exit strategy might look like...I had thought through those scenarios, but...if you watched through to the end of that stream, you would have gotten to the part where I come to the conclusion that I'm not ready and that I've still got a lot of a lot of tech videos to make.
Effective July 1, 2023, after 10 wild and very eventful years, I'll be stepping down as CEO of Linus Media Group, Creator Warehouse, and Floatplane Media.
