0:06 Hey, hey, testing, testing, test, test. There we go. Okay, so welcome everyone. We are, um, yeah, so I'm here in Dumaguete and, uh, just waking up. It's good to see everybody. It's Sunday morning here in Dumaguete. I'm still having my coffee and trying to wake up, so a little bit out of it, but yeah, otherwise doing well. And, uh, let me just see if I can get the link to share out the link to this live.
1:24 Hey Tony, welcome! I'm so glad to see you here. I hope this is a convenient time for you. Tony, I just want to give you a heads up that sometimes I'd really like to live stream, but there's copyright music in the background or it's particularly noisy in the background. So I feel like the quality could be impacted, right? I want to deliver a good experience for you, not only as a viewer but also as a member. But yeah, great. That's good to know.
2:00 Um, yeah, so how are you doing, Tony? How is, uh, I guess it's fall weather for you there in North America? It's still super hot here and, uh, yeah, it still feels super hot here. I thought it might cool off next month or in December, but I'm talking to some friends here and they mentioned it doesn't really seem to cool off a lot.
2:49 I do apologize by the way for background noise. It's just, uh, it's very noisy. I'll just, yeah, very noisy.
3:06 I'm doing okay. I'm kind of tired, you know. Um, yeah, I'm kind of tired and it is pretty hot. There are, you know, I don't know, there are some things that I need to do as far as adjusting, but part of it is just working really hard. Tony, I should clarify there, I've been working really hard on the channel, trying to put a lot of effort in as far as just like collabbing, meeting up with people.
3:44 So Sunday seems to be the day when it all accumulates. It kind of hits me how tired I am, and then Sunday tends to be a bit more of a chill day for me. And then I, you know, I do a little bit of English tutoring on Sunday evening, but the place itself kind of slows down. Traffic seems to not be as bad on Sundays and, um, yeah, it's a good day to just kind of chill out a bit.
4:20 Yeah, so I had a job interview a couple weeks ago, or last week, and just slept through it. It was at 2 AM and they pushed for that time. It was just not a me-and-time for me. So now I'm shifting to trying to do my interviews in the morning. But I'm also thinking about trying to go full-time on YouTube. My channel is growing really fast. I'm figuring out different ways to kind of expand, you know, monetization efforts and, um, yeah.
4:52 It's, I don't know, it's I just don't know that I really want to go back home. Of course, a lot of people are in that position where they prefer to live over here. Um, and yeah, just trying to sort that out.
5:13 Um, I have some exciting news. I am going to be featured in a documentary. I'm not filming it, I'm going to be, I guess, featured in it. So I'll have more details when that's released. I'll be sure to share a link with everybody. This is something I'm excited about. They reached out to me like a week or two ago.
5:34 Originally, they were going to film in Manila. And I asked, hey, you know, can you fly me up to Manila? I'd be happy to do it, but, you know, helping me meet me halfway with the cost of the flight. And they said, well, you know what, I think we should come to Dumaguete. So they're going to come down here and we're going to film. We're going to spend like, I guess, a half-day of filming here in Dumaguete.
6:04 And yeah, um, I'll have more details on that after it's done. I think it's going to take some time for them to edit it and all that. But it's a really, you know, it's a really exciting opportunity and I think it'll be interesting. I think I'll learn a lot from it.
6:20 And yeah, I mean, I would kind of prefer to pivot my career toward media anyway. So, you know, I don't know exactly how I'd go about doing that. But, uh, I prefer working in media over working in sales or other types of corporate jobs back in America. It doesn't really feel like work to me. Other people see it as work. I've met a lot of people who've told me I could never be on camera, I could never take all the flack or the trolling or all that kind of stuff.
6:50 And no, it's whatever. I mean, I've got a thick skin. I don't really, you know, that stuff doesn't really bother me. So, um, it's, yeah, there's just a lot of, uh, a lot of opportunity, hopefully for me to pivot toward working more on media because I just think it's more interesting. It's, it's more fun.
7:13 There's still a lot of opportunity to, you know, build a career or that kind of thing. But, uh, yeah, I suspect that, you know, I may be washed out of the tech industry. I'm not for certain on that, but like I've had a bunch of interviews and no offers.
7:33 Maybe things will improve after the upcoming US election. It could be that a lot of companies are hesitant, you know, to make big commitments in the way of hiring until after they get a sense of what the next four years will look like. But if I don't get something, you know, eventually, I've got to, you know, go more onto YouTube.
7:52 I've also looked at seasonal jobs. So one of the things that I've thought about, and I've met a few people that do this, is they go and they work in the US for six months, and then they go travel abroad for the other six months, right? So they alternate between earning half the year in the US where the wages are quite high, and then taking their savings, saving up all that money, and then going to other countries that offer a higher quality of life.
8:33 I don't like it more or less than Thailand. Dumaguete, I think it's just a tradeoff. The Philippines and Thailand are very different from one another. Thailand, I like the food, I like the culture, I like the conveniences here. I like the nature. I like the English.
8:59 I think I have more expat friends here, so I think the, but yeah, I would say the nature is a big one. I mean, I walked to a place to go snorkeling down the street from where I'm living and that was wonderful. I got to see all kinds of beautiful coral and all kinds of fish, many different species of fish. I didn't get to see any sea turtles, so I'm hoping to go back there with some buddies maybe in the next week or two. We'll go back there maybe next weekend, or maybe the weekend after, and go and see, hopefully, some sea turtles.
9:43 I may have to go during the week though. I may have to go out there on my own during the week when there's fewer people there because then I think you have a higher likelihood of seeing some of those sea turtles that I really want to see.
10:07 But yeah, Dumaguete, I mean, it's a tradeoff, you know. There's, it's, I think your value for money for accommodation is higher in Thailand. I think most people would agree on that, that they spend X amount on accommodation in Thailand, they're going to get more bang for their buck compared to here.
10:30 Um, I would say also the Philippines. Oh, hey, wow, good to see you, Paul. Welcome, welcome. Paul is a wonderful guy. The two people on here that, um, that haven't watched this channel, go check it out. He's really a wonderful friend and very, feel very fortunate to, um, to have met him and all the wonderful characters here in Dumaguete.
11:07 Ronell, good to see you, Ronell. Yeah, I'm doing well this morning. It's, uh, it's a beautiful day. It's gorgeous outside, the sun and the palm trees and it's, uh, yeah, it's going well. It's going really well. I feel very fortunate to have found Dumaguete.
11:35 It's, it's, um, I don't know, I like it because you get some of the provincial feeling, but then you also have some of the city amenities. You've got lots of great food here. You know, I've talked to friends that have lived in other parts of the Philippines and they say, you know, the Philippines is beautiful in general and it's a gorgeous country. My opinion, it's the most beautiful country in the world. But there's other parts of the country that while they are very beautiful, it's just not that easy to find good food. So if you're here in Dumaguete, you've got tons of options. There's Japanese, Chinese, of course, Filipino food, Korean food, Indian food, American style food. That's a big one that a lot of people really, I think, are attracted to Dumaguete about is, hey, I'm not going to have to make the, uh, you could say the tradeoffs.
12:22 Oh, you're heading to TomTom? Okay, thank you for the heads up, Paul. Um, yeah, I'll keep that in mind. I may come down. I got to get back here this evening, but, uh, thank you for the heads up, Paul. I really appreciate that. And, um, yeah, I hope you have a wonderful time. If I'm not able to make it down there, I hope you have a wonderful time.
12:46 Um, either way, yeah, yeah, it's, uh, it's a really nice spot. Um, Tony says, so landing a virtual job while living in the Philippines isn't something that's on the agenda. So the challenge there, Tony, is that with the virtual jobs, if they know that you're not living in the US, they want to pay much less, right? So they don't want to comp you in the same way that they'd comp an American.
13:08 Which, you know, each business has to make those determinations. But I'd work just as hard, right? For me, if I've got a job, I take it really seriously and I want to maximize value for my employer. I know some people disagree, some people would call me a loser for having that mindset. But I look at, like, the harder I work, the more I learn. So even if I'm not necessarily getting the most out of them or whatever, I'm usually learning more if I'm engaged in giving it my all. So I would be working just as hard as I'd work in America, but I wouldn't have the compensation.
13:45 So the value of, so the value of working in the US is that, sorry, there's this screaming kid in the background. Um, the value of working in the US, maybe I can take this outside. Yeah, going to go outside with this. Should help.
14:18 Some. So the value of working in the US is that the salaries are super high, and your cost of living is high, but not so extreme. So you get this advantage of, uh, basically being able to put away a lot of money. And so that's the, that's why it's worthwhile to, you know, to work back home, right? But if I'm working super hard, but I'm not able to pad by investment, it kind of defeats the purpose. Not to say I don't work hard on my channel, it just doesn't feel like work. It's so much fun, it's so enjoyable.
14:50 Work, it's so much fun, it's so enjoyable. I get to meet so many interesting and cool people. It's I do it for free, right? So that's kind of the difference between this and working in sales back home. Most people would not do sales work for free. Most people do not want to be under the requirements of a quota. They don't want to be having to perform at that level every single day, day in and day out.
15:18 There's days on my channel like I there's, let's put it this way, there's things I like about doing this channel and there's things I don't like about doing this channel. But the more success I have, the more I can focus on the things that I enjoy doing. If you ask me what I enjoy doing, I like talking to interesting people. The channel enables me to do that.
15:39 The channel enables me to do that, right? So the channel enables me to talk to all kinds of interesting people and meet really cool people. I've gotten to meet some people that have really helped me out in my journey, people like Paul who joined in the chat a bit, people like Mike. These guys have really helped me a lot through their content creation.
16:09 And to be able to like meet guys like this who, you know, they provide an alternative. A lot of us back home are unhappy, and they're showing you step-by-step how they live what you might call an alternative lifestyle. And I think that's so empowering for people who don't really fit in, and I never really felt like I fit in back home.
16:36 As far as parts of it that I don't like, I would say editing is just time-consuming. I don't hate editing, it just is really time-consuming and it can feel really grindy because you're watching, in effect, you're watching a video that you've already recorded over and over and over again, trying to go through it. It's not the most fun, plus I like socializing, so sitting down to do it on my own now.
17:04 The upside of editing is you learn. You learn a lot of techniques, you learn how to make better content. You have to really examine your content: okay, this is working, this is not working. I'm messing up the audio, which is more important than the video quality.
17:35 Richard says, 'I will have my gear for snorkeling in November, we can go any day.' Hi Paul, yeah, that sounds great, Richard. I'm I'll probably end up extending through November. I really want to make it down to Buchanan Province. I have a buddy, a Filipino friend that lives down there in, well, he works in Badian, he lives in Cagayan de Oro, but he goes back and forth for work.
17:59 And Buchanan is gorgeous. It's up in the mountains, so it's a bit cooler. It's not as well-known as Baguio yet. Maybe I shouldn't have said anything. Anyway, it's not as well-known as Baguio or even like Valencia here in Dumaguete. Valencia is very popular for people that want a little bit cooler weather.
18:21 But you know, Badian being in mind now, it tends to scare some people away. I'm not afraid. Something happens, I'm living my dream, and if it comes to an end, I'm just grateful for the ride. But certainly, some people don't have that same thought process as I do.
18:37 But yeah, yeah, Richard, that sounds great. There's a lot of wonderful snorkeling around here, and there's so much to see and do here. Dumaguete offers so much. To me, you've got city conveniences, you've got natural attractions, you've got a lot of cool foreigners and a lot of cool Filipinos.
19:06 And you meet Filipinos here from all over the country, like my host family. The mom in the family is from Zamboanga, and the father in the family is from Bohol. So you meet people from different parts of the country, and it's just, to me, it just punches far above its weight. It's got such an international feeling, yet still feels like a small town.
19:26 You've got city conveniences, and yet you've got some of the laid-back atmosphere of being in a province. I still don't quite understand it, but to me, it reminds me of Cusco, it reminds me of Chiang Mai. Really, really nice. Maybe I may even like it a little bit better than those places in some elements.
19:51 But we'll step back inside because there's maybe it's calmed down a little bit in here. I'm on the top floor of this house, and it's, yeah, oh, it's nice to have some options there.
20:16 Gerard says, 'Free sales.' Um, yeah, so sales, it could be really stressful, right? You're under a quota, you're trying to perform. There's a lot of days in sales that aren't fun. You're getting tons of rejection, and Paul and I talked a bit about this, but you're getting the managers are stepping on you, and the customers are stepping on you, and you're kind of this punching bag in sales.
20:43 And I don't like that element of sales. I like talking to people. I think people are interesting, and in some sales worlds that I've had, the customers were awesome, but the management was just, I don't know. I don't fully understand it.
20:56 I get it, like somehow I get some aspects. I know they're under stress, they're under pressure, they've got financial obligations. I don't know how they save or don't save their money. But yeah, the good thing about sales is that I learned a lot. I learned how to communicate with people, which I was pretty socially isolated growing up, so I didn't really learn a lot of social skills.
21:25 I just was kind of isolated for various reasons. Grew up in a narcissistic household, which resembled cults. If you're familiar with narcissism, the environment becomes kind of cult-like. It's like being in a high-demand religion or has elements of coercive control: 'Don't do this, don't do that.' A lot of absurd rules.
21:48 And so you're not quite fully socialized, I think, when you grow up in an environment like that. But when you're in sales and you're having to talk to people for five, six, seven, eight hours a day, you will learn to socialize. Even unless you've got a major issue, your social skills will improve. You'll learn about communication, you'll learn about people's motivations, and you better understand how to deal with people.
22:09 And that's helped a lot with my channel. I credit sales with helping me grow this channel because you start to, you learn one of the things you learn in sales is how to ask questions. And for me, asking you guys questions and asking friends questions is really accelerated my learning and my capabilities.
22:35 It's made me a lot more efficient. It's made me a lot happier. I understand people a lot better. I could go on and on about the benefits of working in sales, especially if you're working in like high-value ad sales where you're dealing with intelligent salespeople. Some of the smartest people I've ever met in my life are in sales jobs.
22:55 There's this stereotype or critique that, oh, sales people are dumb. That's not the case at all. There's a low barrier to entry to sales, so technically anybody could really work in sales. But as you move up and you deal with higher-ranked or more experienced sales professionals, there's a strong, like, unique intelligence that comes with that kind of work, being able to handle people.
23:15 Being able to, you know, kind of push conversations in different directions. Now, learning how to take control of a conversation, like, 'Hey, this is where we're going,' and I could turn it on and off. Sometimes I turn it off, like at a conversation.
23:33 Did the most recent video I put out with my buddy Will? He had some things he wanted to talk about, and I thought, 'Well, we can revisit this conversation where I take him through that interview process.' I put questions to him to draw information out, because some people, they might think what they have to talk about is boring or dumb or not relatable.
24:00 And you, as the salesperson or you as the interviewing person, have to evaluate: What is my audience interested in? And what kind of directions are going to be intriguing for people?
24:11 So, do I would I want to work in sales forever? I don't know. I think YouTube is, in a way, sales, right? Like you've got a guy like Paul, he's got this strong history of sales, and his videos are a product, but essentially he's trying to put out the best product he can and sell on it.
24:29 Like, 'Do I have a compelling story here? Am I providing you with value? Is this interesting? Is this insightful? Is this something that's worthwhile for you?'
24:51 Tony asks, 'So the employers ask you to declare where you are located? You can't do the VPN and don't ask, don't tell?' Well, it gets tricky because if they catch you, boom, you could be done. So I've heard of some people trying to pull that, and then as soon as the employer finds out, like one day they don't turn on the VPN, or one day the VPN drops out, you have a power outage.
25:18 Then all of a sudden they find out and they're asking you, 'Hey, our system just flagged you're coming in from the Philippines and you didn't get approval for that.' So some people have actually gotten the axe for that. And I, the ideal, this is my personal opinion, the ideal is building up a reputation with a company and then asking for permission.
25:37 But a lot of them, because of tax reasons, will want you to stay in the US. So that's part of how the US controls people. They're like, 'Okay, we want your tax dollars. Not only that, we're going to make it really complex for you to leave.' Because if you leave, you're not paying us taxes, right? You're not paying your property tax in the US unless you own rental real estate. You're not paying sales tax, you're not paying sin taxes, all these taxes they want to collect.
26:07 They're not collecting from X amount. And so, in a perpetual growth economy, they really don't want people to leave, especially high earners that pay a bulk of the taxes in the US. Because there's this misconception that like rich people pay...
26:22 There's a misconception that rich people pay taxes and poor people pay taxes. It's really the middle class people that pay the most taxes. Poor people don't have much to tax, and rich people have lots of loopholes in the United States. So, it's really the middle class people who earn, maybe high earners, that you know have a high income from earned income, so not from investment income or government subsidies or anything like that.
26:50 But people who earn, say, $150,000 a year in California, you might think, 'Oh, they're rich.' You ain't rich making $150,000 in California. You may not probably still be able to buy a house. You're probably living in a small apartment. You need maybe two people making that to do pretty well, but you're still renting, probably still in an apartment.
27:15 I have a friend of a friend, basically a couple, and they earn, they have two people making close to that amount, and they still rent an apartment in California. So, the rich people own assets, and the tax rates... so yeah, I'm getting kind of long-winded, Tony, but they have a lot of incentives to stop you from working abroad.
27:43 Because, you know, if part of it does impact the earning potential of Americans, and if a whole bunch of Americans can't earn a strong standard of living anymore, that could cause more instability in the United States. So yes, it's possible. It's more with the programming.
28:01 If I got more into programming, I could take contract-based work, but even then, there's a ton of outsourcing going on right now. There's a ton of outsourcing where companies are firing a bunch of American staff and hiring in Poland, or Taiwan, or other countries where they have skilled people, but you could pay a lower wage.
28:28 Those countries may not have, India for example, they might not have the same level of worker protections that they have in the United States. So yeah, I mean, there's no shortage of greed in America, and they'll do whatever it takes to increase that bottom line, that dollar. And you know, I don't blame them.
28:52 Humans have evolved to control resources. We've evolved in a world with finite resources where food is limited, shelter is limited. By the way, 21 people watching, please give us a thumbs up, it helps to boost us in the algorithm. But yeah, I mean, it's as old as time. I think everybody is selfish, so people are just doing whatever they can.
29:15 Is it ideal? I don't think so. Is it just? I don't think so. But yeah. Lincoln Emerson says, 'Jumped in on editing.' An answer, I tend to over-edit, then I get bummed that nobody sees how much I did. Yeah, I've had to pull back a little bit on my editing. I've gotten some tips from a couple of my friends that are YouTubers.
29:40 Paul has it great. You look at his videos, he does minimal editing, and he just knocks it out of the park, and his audience doesn't expect hardcore editing. So yeah, that's definitely over-editing could be a thing. Lincoln says, 'I'd rather do commercial roofing again in sales.' That's pretty bad. Yeah, I've heard bad stuff about commercial roofing.
30:01 Cars says, 'My dad had a good career in sales, sold mattresses for Burlington.' Said, 'You need to believe in what you're selling.' Yeah, I agree, Cars. You really have to believe that it's a quality product and that it's going to make people's lives better if they're able to acquire or purchase that product.
30:19 Liam says, 'Good morning po.' Good morning, Liam. Welcome to the channel. Good morning, po. Gerard says, 'Sell us about MTI travel around restaurants, malls, and entertainment. Show me why the Philippines is better than Thailand and make it bucker too.' I don't know that the Philippines is better than Thailand. I think that they're different.
30:41 It really depends on your priorities. To me, the challenge of filming out in public in Daggett is multifold. One, copyright music. There's copyright music all over this town. People like to play music that is copyright-restricted. So I had an acquaintance of mine down on the boulevard a couple months back, 'Oh, I'm going to do a live stream on the boulevard.' Right, sounds wonderful. It's a beautiful part of the city, it's gorgeous, it's free for the public, anybody can go down there and enjoy.
31:16 And I may have to cut it because copyright music just started coming in. Yeah, I may have to cut this stream because somebody literally just started playing copyright music around the corner for me. So maybe we could do a few more minutes, but yeah, I can't. That's the principal issue, Gerard.
31:48 Is that, you know, so you go out in public and you think, 'Oh yeah, I could just walk down the street and show videos.' No, no. You people start playing copyright music, boom, you're getting a violation. And you get enough violations, your channel is done. Let's see if I can... oh, we'll pop right here. This seems like it'll be enough to... um, but yeah.
32:16 Yeah, I mean, you get several copyright violations, Gerard, and your channel's done. So in the malls also, play copyright music. There's tons of ambient noise. I mean, there is tons of ambient noise that you have to be mindful of here. It's not easy. There's a reason you don't see a lot of vloggers here in the Philippines, outside of like remote or rural islands, like just walking around town. It's just not practical to do that.
32:45 You're going to have so much ambient noise that people are not going to be able to hear anything. It's going to be unpleasant to listen to. You're going to hear loud motors, you're going to hear construction, you're going to hear angle grinders. You're going to hear people screaming and yelling, not in a bad way, they're just excited and they're having a good time and they're enjoying their lives. Like, I've been here has helped me adjust to noise.
33:12 But as far as the viewer experience goes, then it can be... it doesn't matter where you go here. It's one of the most population-dense countries in the world. And a lot of people in the Philippines, they associate noise with having fun, right? So if you're having fun, you want to express yourself verbally or audibly. And it's not a negative.
33:40 And it's a lot better than the US where normally when people are being noisy in the US, it's because they're having some kind of upstairs crisis, like in California, you see that a lot. I've had neighbors that have been fighting with each other in California. So it's not the same. It's not the same.
33:58 And once again, it doesn't bother me so much that I'll leave, but as far as from a viewer perspective, it's... I basically, what I'd have to do, Gerard, is I'd have to go around recording stuff and then mute it and then record audio on top of it. And that's doable, right? But I don't think it gives the same viewer experience that you have when you can actively engage and like, 'Hey, you know, check it out.'
34:32 I have no idea how certain bloggers do it, but that's why you see so many vloggers doing videos in their studio at home, doing vlogs from certain establishments that may be a little bit quieter, some what you could call high-end establishments.

35:09 Yeah guys, well, I think I'm going to wrap up because they're starting to do karaoke. Thank you so much for watching, but yeah, I'm just going to go ahead and wind down here because the music is getting louder, and I don't want to get a copyright issue. So yeah, thank you so much, everybody. Sorry I had to cut it short, but as you could tell, this is why I am limited as far as being able to live stream here in the Philippines. Thanks so much, everybody. I'll see you next time.
