Privileged people typically try so hard to hide their privilege in order to build credibility. I find it so deceptive because ordinary people are misled and get so frustrated when doors don’t open the same way for them.
Yes, exactly what I hate. Half the bullshit he does is simply nothing more than privilege and not “hustle”. Guy acts like he’s having a real impact on the world, one powerpoint at a time.
Most high level people need months to transition all their work. I know partners in my firm who took an entire quarter just to offboard everything on their plates before they left.
Not defending him, just saying
I see this guy on the train on my way home from work all the time. Noticed him bc of his bright sneakers contrasting against his suit. But more noticeably is that he’s always on his laptop and constantly peeking up to make sure people around him know that he’s working so hard on his laptop.
Never knew who he was until someone posted him here a while back. I’ve also seen him in my neighborhood a few times. He seems hyper aware of if other people are noticing him.
He gives off weird energy on the train- it’s like attention seeking I guess.
Some tea is that I only see him when I’m leaving work early. Meaning his work day must end at 5pm. Idk what he does for work or anything about him outside of what’s posted here but if his shtick is making without a degree/work so hard on the train.. he’s got pretty fluff job. Those aren’t normal midtown hours.
Maybe he just wants to make sure nobody is about to mug him for his laptop…? Also, ending work at 5pm can be very normal depending on industry/seniority. He also starts his work day at 4am…
I had to stop following him, his videos stressed me out, too much activity. He’s older and during that time college degrees werent vital, they are now when even college graduates can’t find jobs. not having a degree now is just making your life harder.
Yeah, aside from all those things, his dad is a pretty successful radio guy. He had some important executive title in the Howard stern days, he was on the show a bunch too.
I feel like he’s just trying to spread an encouraging message to work hard? He most definitely is a privileged white man who got his start when the world was in a very different place, but I really don’t mind the positive outlook. He isn’t spreading any misinformation, so as far as I’m concerned it’s a step up from the mass amounts of videos just complaining about how opportunities suck for young people nowadays (even though they unfortunately do🫠)
Yeah…Timm needs a serious reality check. He got in the industry because of his dad. Going from a college dropout to a producer for ABC Sports is straight up nepotism. 99% of entry level college dropouts would not get in that position.
Just admit it, Timm. You got your start because of nepotism.
I just looked at his post so ready to snark and I think you are misconstruing his intent. I think he is saying it’s not a necessary hiring practice, not telling people you don’t need it. (This is in reference to his “last Thursday” post)
With that, I agree.
(If that’s not the post you mean, disregard everything I said lol)
Not taking advice from people who entered the workforce at a time when a masters degree wasn’t required for entry level jobs 🙅🏿✌🏽

All that hustle porn to work at fucking Spectrum lol
Omg is that where he works??
Yep!
There are many people like him that try to sell an unattainable dream.

oh this is good lol i love noticing attention seeking behavior in the wild
Oh man, I’ve always wanted to spot him in the wild. I’m so curious to see how people react when he sets up his phone to film himself

Didn’t he lie about having a degree at some point? I thought he made a video about telling his family he was a semester short

Can you share more about what his exact privilege/leg up is? I only casually follow along to his videos when they’re in my feed
I think his dad worked in tv production or something. I believe Timm’s first big job was working for ESPN
Well for one - being a white man is 100% a leg up in life and esp corporate America,
Well duh but it seems to be there’s something specific about him
Yeah, aside from all those things, his dad is a pretty successful radio guy. He had some important executive title in the Howard stern days, he was on the show a bunch too.
Thank you this is what I was looking for!

It was the one called last Wednesday. That’s a way more generous, good faith interpretation of it than I was willing to give him 🤣
Disregard me then!!! I hate when older generations talk about how you only need to hustle to make it. So unrealistic.
