How I Escaped Corporate Hell (They Don't Want You To Know This)

To raising your vibration, this is the video version of my podcast. If you want the audio version, you can click the link in the YouTube description. Apologies guys, if you're listening on the audio, that was a YouTube intro, and vice versa. If you want to listen to the video, the link is at the bottom.

So let's get in. Today we've got a topic about why you feel mentally, spiritually, and physically drained. Now, I've got a mini-presentation here, and I'm going simple and straightforward. I've opened the Google Doc; nothing revolutionary here, but the message will hit home, I am sure.

If you read this top line here, for you guys in the audio, it says: "Companies expect the most from you with the least in return." I.E., you will turn up at this time, stay here for this long in exchange for this. You will put up with this, or you're out the door. And what do I mean by "you'll put up with this"? Well, you'll put up with the never-ending pressure to do more for less. By the way, this is for most jobs; this is for every job that I've ever done, including seasoned professions like engineering. I was in an office for a while, right? This is the reality.

Even for top-tier engineering, the entire system is why you feel so mentally drained. This really does go for most jobs; it's why you're listening to me. You've seen me go from being totally and utterly stuck, so deep into this system, like I couldn't get any deeper into this thing that these people have created for us to work in. Yeah, I couldn't get any more deep. I've done the most horrendous jobs ever since I was a little kid, and only six months ago did I get a break from that.

So this is why you're listening to me: because you can see that I now work for a laptop, and that is the end goal—to live freely. There are different echelons of freedom levels, and I'm at probably like level two. There's way, way, way more out there for me in terms of freedom, but I will get into that later because now I'm progressing. These levels are going up.

I'm trying to help you guys get from level zero to level one and maybe even level two, where I'm at now. Okay, so let's get into this mini, mini doc. Right? Like I said, you feel mentally drained because you've got no energy. You work all day for a job you didn't even want, and you've got to turn up to a place that you don't even want to go to.

So what does that do to your mental and physical health already? Well, it stresses you, and stress causes disease, right? So that's why you're left with no energy. You're also left with no freedom because you've got to be there for 10, 12, 14 hours a day. You've got to be there every day or at least five days, maybe even six, maybe even seven, maybe even 21. Yes, that's right!

I used to do whatever the math is: 21 * 12, that was my work before I got home. I was on the oil rig. So if you don't know my story, then probably just go back and listen to a few other episodes. Former burnt-out oil rig worker showing you how to escape that never-ending misery and doom.

So, you're left with no freedom, energy, and you're also left with little to no money. Now, the reason I'm saying that is because even on like offshore jobs or jobs like diving or something like that, that's risky and higher money. They actually trick you for the lower-tier jobs, like industrial cleaning.

When you go into a vessel, or a boat, or an oil rig, they've got cleaning teams. I can't remember what they're called—like what's it called again? Stewards and stewardesses, you know, like catering and stuff, right? Those kinds of jobs are actually basically minimum wage, not far off, but they trick you into thinking, "Oh, well, if you’re here for three weeks, you're pumping twice the hours, so then you get a perceived increase in pay until you go home, and then don't get a phone call again for another three weeks."

Then you've earned minimum wage for that duration of six weeks, but your brain is thinking that you need to keep doing that job to earn 40K a year, or if I pumped in the hours into my old job, I would have made 60 maximum. Yes, you can make good money in the field that I studied, but you've got to go back to this thing here, which I'm saying you'll be left with: no energy, no freedom, little to no money, because most people will earn a good wage and then spend the good wage.

So they're just in the same position as some minimum wage worker because they've got zero financial IQ, and they'll just spend everything that they make, and not even on themselves—just on stupid things. You're in this sort of bubble, and I was in it too, right? And it's why you feel so mentally drained because even if you do make it up the ladder a little bit, you’re now comparing yourself to people who are buying all the stupid houses and cars, spending everything they've ever had on clothes and watches—but they're broke!

More importantly, they're broke in here. For example, I spent all my money on living and paying for Emma as well, but up until that point, I still spent money on my self-education. So you might think, "Ah, he doesn't even have a house or a car or dog or kids." No, but I'm developing this into being a millionaire.

You know, this is the most important thing. I just pile-drive everything, and it's what I did in my job. I pile-drived every spare bit of cash into my mind because it's the only thing that you have control over. If you can control yourself enough to not get bought into the consumerism ideology—keeping up with the Joneses—that leaves everyone miserable, depressed, and broke anyway, comparing themselves to shiny objects with shiny object syndrome.

Oh, he got this car, he got that… it's all a lie, it's all a facade. This is the thing you need to work on because you're not happy in the thing that they've been pushing you into, which is just a 9 to 5, six to six for me—like hustle, hustle, hustle. Just a crazy world that they've created for us worker bee droids—slaves to slave away for a select few at the top to reap the rewards, right?

You're not happy with it because you're watching this video, and there is another way, right? So, the other thing I was going to mention is the reason you feel so mentally drained again is because you keep thinking, "Oh, I've only got 50 years to go until I retire." Let me mention something about retirement. It is the biggest scam I've ever heard of, especially in 2024, apart from COVID—because and don't get me started on that.

Retirement is like a—you've heard of the carrot and the stick. You start off working at probably like 15; for me, it was five. I opened a farm with a guy I didn't like; he didn't like me. He was abusive; he was an absolute dick, and he forced me to work on his farm. So from five, I've been in this system of resentment toward physical jobs.

Right at five years old, I start off in this thing that you call the system, and you've got to work for something called money that they print. Certain people get to print this money on demand whenever they want—imagine that! It's different rules for us than it is for them. They say something called, "You'll do this until you retire."

Now, the concept of retirement for most people is they've been brainwashed into thinking, "I cannot wait to do nothing." Most people, if you observe, they want to do the minimum even at the job. They do the minimum even at their work, like their workouts or their relationships. They want to do nothing! They're brainwashed into being lazy little bees that want to do it all.

The thing is with our brains, we like stimulus. We like learning, growing, developing, and connecting and sharing. That's what we're here to do as human beings, as spiritual beings living the human experience, as a reflection of everything you've ever seen—which is called the universe, the trees, the birds, the fish, everything, nature, the sky, the ocean—everything is connected, and we are a reflection of it.

But we've been brainwashed into thinking that work is the only thing that matters and comparing yourself to other people and buying the things that they've got—just this thing called money until you retire at 65 or 70. The reason it's flawed is because you're relying on making it to perfect health with all the stress, lack of freedom, lack of energy, and lack of money.

Somehow, you're going to just stop and pay all your bills until you die? There is actually a crazy statistic about retirement that most people retire and then die shortly after because there's no purpose in being anymore. We're purpose-driven beings. If you just stop your job because you hated your life so much and then you hit the bottle or you don't do anything with your life—your body and mind give up.

So this thing that you're in is a never-ending cycle; it literally is. And you have to get out, and that's why you're watching this video, right? Or listening to this podcast. Retirement is an absolute scam. I'll tell you what I'm doing instead: I'm building things I want to. I'm not working physical jobs that will kill me before I'm 40 years old.

As long as I've got my hands and my mind—even if my hands get chopped off, I've got my mind. AI can like, if I can speak, I can write now, you know there's always going to be an option. That’s why I’m saying work on this the most!

Always work on this, right? Because once you've got this, you can do anything! So like I said, this is most jobs. Even if you're a seasoned professional, most people are unsatisfied, but they don't want to admit it because they think it's noble to just be like, "It's okay, well someone’s going to do it," right? And it’s true; we’re in this system, and somebody does have to do it.

Right? And like I said, I do not have all the answers; I just have the answer for you that wants to operate with more fulfillment and freedom and excitement in this thing that we call life. Now there is—because there are options, you just need to hold on here, right? So like I said, we do need to provide value to the world. But why does it need to be so ridiculous? Why do we need to give up five, six days a week or, for me, 21 in a row just to get some cash to spend all in bills that we don't need, and then poison ourselves with alcohol and then repeat?

Why does it have to be like that? Why is it that most people are suffering, and why do we not have fulfillment or freedom? And why are we forced to give up the most valuable asset in exchange for something, which is time? Sorry, we give up all the time in exchange for something that other humans print on demand, which we call cash.

It’s well and truly… honestly, it is like you can’t argue with that. It’s totally. And I don’t have a perfect alternative; it’s just way bigger than I could even fathom. Like think about it, the thing that we live in, somebody actually made it. Some humans made the thing that we are in—all the industries—they made it! How crazy is that?

But what I can offer you is a solution within this thing that they made because this thing I’m going to show you will allow you to reclaim your time, energy, and health. Because most people are giving up their time and energy for something they don't want to do, which suffers their health, right?

But thank you to the internet and the evolution of technology, you can live freely now. How do you do that? Well, you do what I do. You learn remote skills, you work on your mind, and you never quit. It’s that simple. You need to learn remote skills that are in demand.

We are in about to enter 2025; we've got artificial intelligence, blockchain, personal brands—skills like websites and coding and video editing and copywriting and sales. Like, there are all these things you can learn, and the two things I'm learning right now, which I can show you how to do, are copywriting, which is coupled with AI copywriting, and now I’m learning AI because it’s stupid not to learn AI at this time.

Because it's not even the future; it's here! So if you're nodding your head in agreement and you think, "Whoa, I want more energy, fulfillment! I want to be in Bali with you! I want to be in Thailand training Muay Thai, not thinking about my boss saying that you were two minutes late today," then I feel you, brother.

Because I did my entire life the way that you're living, and now I'm blessed to be in Indonesia recording this from a MacBook and living here with my girlfriend, not thinking about the 12-hour shift, the impending doom that never ends. Ah, it was horrible! I used to hate my life; I didn’t understand. I was caught in a cycle of work and drink, work and drink, even though I knew it was stupid.

I was ripped at 21, and then from there until now, I drank, destroyed my gains, had no gains. I kind of trained MMA a little bit, but with a drinking culture, it was just pointless—honestly, it was pretty pointless. I just destroyed my health over the years with drinking and food because I was escaping. I didn’t understand this thing I’m telling you now about freedom, lifestyles, and skills, and working on your mind, and just questioning everything you’ve ever been told.

Because if you do not question everything you’ve ever been told, you will continue living the way that you’ve been told to. And then one day, when there is no time left, the lights switch on, and you’re filled with regret. And I do not want that for you.

So what I want to offer you is the solution. It’s quick, easy, and free to get going. You just need to click the link in my description. It’ll take you to the Freedom Copy Collective, where me and I think there are 32 lads, 32 freedom seekers at the moment, as I record this. It might be more by the time you join.

I'm learning, I’m teaching you guys how to write copy, use AI, work on your mindset, connect with brothers. What else could you want? This is what you need, brother! And it's also free until—I mean, I’m going to cap it at a certain number. Yet, I honestly do not know right now. It’s free to enter the community.

I do not know when I’m going to cap it because there— I mean, it's only been going for one or two weeks, and there are already 32 members. So I’m like, "Whoa! Okay." So I would join now before I do a price tag on it. It’s going to be free for a little bit.

But yeah, brother, if you want my help and to connect with other lads that are thinking the same, feeling the same, it’s a lonely world out there if you do not because you feel like you’re going crazy. But other people are thinking like you. I promise you I’m one of them, and 32 others are on the other side of this link.

Click that link, and I’ll see you in there, brother. Peace! Till next time, love you.
