Work, Keep Working, and Then Work Harder

In PragerU’s 2023 commencement address, popular podcaster Tim Pool shares the secret of his success (hint: it’s not a degree from a prestigious university). Tim’s life path goes against everything we’re told we need to do to be “successful.” So, how did he do it? And how can you do it, too?
Script:
Congrats! You made it.
You finished college.
You got good grades.
…Ok, passing grades.
Now you’re gonna get a good job.
…Ok, a job.
In 20 years, maybe you’ll pay off your student loans.
After working for another 30 years, you may finally be able to retire and take that cruise to Aruba you always talk about.
And then? You die.
What. A. Joke.
Is this really what God or the universe or your mother had in mind for you?
Who decided this is the path to success? The woke colleges that teach you almost nothing of real value?
The corporations that need “well-behaved” worker bees to reach their quarterly targets?
The government that takes half your income and then wastes it?
I’m here to tell you there is another way.
I know because I’m living it.
I dropped out of high school at 14. I worked minimum-wage jobs when “minimum” meant something—as in “next to nothing.” I lived out of my car and “camped” in parks.
And yet, here I am, one of the most-watched personalities on the Internet. I employ a bunch of people. And, I make more than the minimum wage.
How did I get here without a college degree?
As someone once said, “I never let my schooling interfere with my education.”
My parents owned a coffee house in Chicago.
I did a little bit of everything. And while I was cleaning, cooking, or cashiering I was also soaking up the banter, learning about culture, politics, and why Jason hated the Republican party—that was my education.
I didn’t have some grand plan for my life. Actually, I didn’t have any plan. I just worked hard.
Whether I was handing out extra-crispy fries at the drive-through window, or freezing my ass off hauling luggage at O’Hare, I was always excited about what I was doing, because I knew my next job, and the one after that, would be better.
In my early 20s, I began a career in activism. I fundraised on behalf of Greenpeace and other environmental nonprofits. And I was damn good at it. In fact, I was always one of their top fundraisers. But I walked away when I discovered that the “green” these organizations claimed to care about was not the environment.
Around that time, rumors began circulating on the internet about something called “Occupy Wall Street.” The plan was for thousands of people to storm the streets of New York because they felt that the rich were being bailed out during an economic crisis they caused. Meanwhile, the middle class and the poor were being crushed. It seemed interesting, so I thought it was worth checking out.”

take off your beanie!
This video fails to mention how Tim stole money from his family. That was his key to success. But you conservative dupes are the most gullible and grifted people on the face of the earth, so of course you’ll all lap it up.
Centrist Tim Pool does a Prager U video. This is the real joke
This video: Follow your dreams! Just work hard!
The video with Mike Rowe: Don't follow your dreams! Work hard for your boss!
At least u have a job now
Poor dude u r
lmfao pim tool
I hope Tim and all of you PragerUnits realize that it is an economic advantage to come from a family that owned a business.
there are few things more obvious than the fact that tim dropped out of HS. he puts off that energy (along w/unending amounts of insecurity) every time he vomits some dumb crap onto the internet. imagine ever taking him seriously or trying to be like him, lol
I don't want to hear about the merritts of hard work from a guy who's occupation is chit chatting with his friends and begging for donations.
take off your stupid beanie tim !!
Tim plays both sides thats how he did it… despicable
Hey Tim what you gonna do after this Republican BS come to a head.Noboduy is gonna hire you except some low key racist sites.Your phicked buddy
I just sold out to pragerU. Please do not research them.
So what….every blue collar guys is stronger than me and is also smarter than me. Did i tell you i wear a beanie?
I wear a beanie every day, have a 25% body fat percentage, and am paid millions from the biggest right wing grifting arms of the globalist propoganda campaign
Tim Pool is who I go to for news. Period.
Bald
Work harder?
The answer actually is = be a grifter
His talent is clearly communicating his points while asking questions that make people ask questions setting off a domino effect of searching for answers.
I dont agree with him on a lot if stuff but I can appreciate his consideration for all perspectives.
If I were him I would sell beenies on his website.
degrees aren't for everyone, but they are an absolute must for many important careers. Prager "U" is not a real university, so of course they don't want anyone going to a real accredited school. as a recent college grad with no student loan debts: go to smaller, cheaper schools in-state. talk to people at career and academic affairs, figure out roughly what you want to work towards. talk to other students as well, luckily i never had to switch my major but it isnt a big deal to do so. college is only as hard as you make it to be, and the big schools are not indicative of 99% of college campuses in america. tech schools and trade schools are nothing to scoff at either.
this makes me uncommonly angry
🎉😊 There’s the key 🔑! Be proud 🥹 to do whatever job you’re doing & don’t be afraid to move on to better opportunities! Thank you 🙏🏾 Tim.
In Pool's case it's "Grift. Then grift harder."
Pro tips to become like Tim Pool.
1. Be balding, but wear a beanie.
2. Have no morales or values.
3. Take billionaire money to spread lies and propaganda.
4. Never emotionally grow up.
5. Never truly be loved by anyone.
This concludes the list.
Grift, keep grifting, then grift harder
Love it Tim
Want media success? Appeal to a mob!
This is the last collab I ever thought I’d see
This is the last collab I ever thought I’d see
Survivorship bias anyone
Yeah it’s called being a grifter
“Quiet quitting” is not in Tim’s lexicon.
Keep balding, and balding harder
Tim Pool the horrible gossip journalist that provides nothing of value to the world esp culture. A person who admitted he's a communist and use the youtube strategy to rack in millions a month. The yt strategy isn't a good thing either its about manipulation
Ok. So everyone on the planet just needs to record riots, have a podcast and wear a beanie.? Bruh these videos are so stupid. Theres not enough for everyone to be a millionaire fence sitter. Maybe when ai takes over and pits ilusnin virtual worlds we can but for now .. people will suffer , struggle to survive or wont survive and this video does nothing to change that.
I'm here to give you a daily reminder Tim thinks he's Asian
I won't make fun of you for having a hard life after dropping out of highschool, I know I couldnt survive just living in my car. However, calling your podcast an empire is laughable. You're not a good debater, you're racist and transphobic, and it shows in every one of your videos. Also you didn't really explain how Greenpeace cares about money more than the cause. You just said it as so and expect your followers to believe it. Also you just follow every other rep by saying shit like colleges are a "woke cult". No wonder the only university you can speak at is a fake one on YouTube.

Yup
Yeah, if we all just continue to break our backs on the wheels of Capitalism, one day we too will be given the opportunity to become millionaires.
So true, anyone can become president, and if we all try our hardest we will all get out turn in the Oval Office, right?
That's how life works right? We will all eventually become millionaires, only the weak, corrupt, or stupid don't find success… Right?
Everyone who isn't a millionaire gave up.
I love how this quite literally a capitalist propaganda. Just work, work, and keep working. You don't need education. Never once question your boss, your company, or the system. If you fail, it's your fault, it's always your fault. Just look at how I become successful without good education.
What a load of dumb….
My dream is to have like a cool compound with a skate park, a place for me and my band to play awesome music, and like a chill place to hang with all my friends and eat sushi… whoopsies!
And there are varying degrees of success, I am lower to middle income I barely graduated from high school but I started working full-time when I was 13 meaning multiple part-time jobs and farm labor to skirt the child labor laws, I have done many jobs and mastered a few, I did not build an empire, what I did build was a base of knowledge and experience about many tasks and at 60 years old any time someone has a problem they just say go ask the old dude and there is value in that. work hard, show up every day on time, build your experiences and choose your path without fear or prejudice
Says Tim Pool a man who has never worked a day of real labor in his life lmao
As a liberal (well, classical) it's sad to me that this type of stuff has to come from a conservative outlet like Prager U. No disrespect but not necessarily my cup of tea and I don't agree with Tim much anymore but I respect them both…It's just that the left is now mainstream, not counter culture at all sadly…And although this was corny, it resonates with me and it has a feel that use to be coming from the left…It's a strange world my friends, it's a strange world 🤓
Its always hilarious when a youtube personality tells people to work hard. Has Tim ever had a real job?
Beware the person who tells you that ignorance is strenth…
So because little Timmy had it sh*tty growing up, everyone else must as well for the rest of time. GIve it up, little Timmy. Go hang out with your fascist lunch buddies.
