Misael’s Question or Topic
Misael is from Mexico. He and his family moved to the United States and became citizens. Misael and his sister have been raised well by his parents, and he believed that his dad did an excellent job at structuring stuff and making sure that he has a good work ethic, while her mom put them in a mindset that life is fun. Recently, Misael came to a point where his father took away his allowance and felt that he is still entitled to it. But everything changed when Misael started watching Gary’s content.
At present, Misael works for his father part-time for 20 hours a week and will turn 40 once he graduates. His question to Gary is on how to attain the work-life balance, given that he wants to earn money and provide support for his future family and pursue his passion at the same time. He also shared with Gary that there are days when he likes working for his dad but there are also days when he just wants to have some fun.
Gary’s Story and Advices
Gary loves Misael’s immigrant soul and how he admires his parents. But one thing that Gary did at 18 is that he worked many more hours than Misael did and still thought that he still had time to look at his baseball cards and play Genesis. If Misael is to work forty hours, he will still have time to play with his drums, work on side hustles, hang out with friends, and live his life. For Gary, forty hours is nothing because he used to work forty hours in three days. Gary thinks that Misael is fortunate as he has enough time to be able to help the family business, make some money, but also sleep, spend time with friends, and do his side hustle.
On Misael’s concern about enjoying work on some days and not on some, Gary said that Misael should learn to get over that hump and learn to be comfortable with the uncomfortable as that’s what being a man and an operator of life is all about.
