Peeps, Kenny Molotov
right here in the workshop. I intended to do an additional Q&A. It'' s. just going to be one concern, but one I'' ve gotten. a number of
times. And the reason why. this was sparked was since
we ' ve. got a new customer available, Sean Singh. Sean, many thanks for reaching.
out, and below'' s the inquiry.
Sean Singh states,. simply recognized you ' re a Toronto guy like myself. That'' s awesome. I intended to ask why.
you came to be a plumber. Did you alter from.
another profession? Possibly you can refer.
me to a previous video where you responded to.
these concerns. Thanks. Sean, fantastic to.
listen to from you, guy. And it'' s truly cool that.
you'' re likewise from Toronto. You may acknowledge some.
areas when I'' m driving by. I ' ve gotten this inquiry
. a couple of times, and I felt like it was time.
to resolve it and inform you the total factors.
and motivations for me to sign up with the profession. The first thing.
that I reached say is plumbing was never ever.
a desire job for me. Plumbing was me trying to.
change my financial position.I constantly was attracted. towards arts.
I'' m an expert magician. I also did funny for.
regarding eight years. I also am now into music. I do some aesthetic arts.
and things like that. And if I could choose.
an occupation of my own, it would certainly be something of that.
nature, where I can reveal myself and make money from it. So hopefully, in.
the future, I'' ll have the ability to have
a. profession like that. However so far, it is.
pipes, and it'' s something that I ' ve expanded to enjoy. Currently a little bit about me, I.
finished from York University.I have an honors. level in approach, which doesn ' t offer you a great deal of. options in relation to occupations, yet it was something that. I was passionate regarding in my early
20s and late teens. So it ' s something that I dived. right into and took my time with and ended up. And it ' s something. that ' s important to me', since the bigger. inquiries in life were constantly something. that my mind moved toward and began asking. There came a factor in. my eighth year of comedy where I needed to make. a big decision.
I had invested six months inputting. for unique requirements students as well.And within the very first six.

months of functioning there, I realized that I. wasn ' t making
any kind of cash. At the end of the month, I would.
primarily not also damage even. I'' d be investing a little.
greater than I really made. I wouldn'' t claim panic attack,.
yet it was most definitely an intense moment one evening. I was remaining up really late. It was a Saturday night. Charity was sleeping. And I started.
understanding that I'' m just not making enough
cash. doing what I ' m doing.
And I type of unwinded, and.
I realized I want a family members, I intend to get. involved, and I want to obtain married and. all these things.
And absolutely nothing was occurring. In addition to all of this, I ' m. likewise seeing Charity job ludicrous quantity of hours. inputting for unique demands trainees, and afterwards she'' s. also tutoring in the evening. And she'' s drawing in.
15-, 16-, 17-hour days. And she'' s not making a lots of.
cash, however she'' s obtaining

by.And I see exactly how tired.
she is continuously, and I felt directly.
liable for not being a help there, you understand? I really felt negative. I really felt poor that I.
was chasing my dream, and I was seeing somebody.
else experience since of that. If I had previously on.
made a decision, OK, we'' re going to do this with each other,. we would certainly have made both of our lives a bit easier.So it was a truly. huge awakening minute where I needed to. eventually claim, I ' m not doing right by a. number of people that are truly vital to me. I really feel like we come. into this globe, and we are liable to. a specific quantity of people.
So I kind of decided,. you recognize what, we need to begin doing. right by the people that are necessary to me. I had this whole narrative. occur in one night.
Charity ' s fast asleep. This is all going. through my head, and
I ' m thinking to. myself, you understand, I regularly hear people.
chatting regarding professions. And they'' re constantly.
telling me, oh man, they'' re so popular. That ' s the type of work. that ' ll never leave. You'' re always going to be.
active and this and that.So I started thinking. to myself, OK, my father is a totally licensed plumbing technician. He owns his own.
plumbing firm. It'' s simply him, he ' s one man.
So if I desired to, I. can apprentice under him today. You understand, on top of that,.
he'' s aging in age. And he'' s still doing. hard physical labor, so I'' m certain that he needs.
a lot more hands in the job. And after that I started determining,.
and I was assuming, Father would most likely give.
me $15 an hour to start. I would work eight-hour days. And in addition to that, because.
my papa knows that I'' m still doing comedy, he was still. able to provide me pause for the days that I needed it. What you ought to recognize is.
that then in life, when I was doing.
funny, I was taking a trip as soon as a month from.
Toronto to Ottawa, which has to do with a 4.
to 5 hour drive.I do this

as soon as a.
month for two days, so I obtain there on a Tuesday,.
and I'' d keep for the Wednesday also. And afterwards I'' d come. back on the Thursday. And I was doing that to go.
to a funny club in Ottawa called Absolute Funny. We have one below in Toronto, yet.
it was truly valuable for me to go there, due to the fact that I.
reached, first off, satisfy the proprietor of the club. And additionally, it was an excellent.
possibility to see a real-time crowd and get a great response.And you ' d recognize today.
if your product worked. So I was doing this every month. It would be 3 days.
off of work, basically. I'' d also pay for a.
resort at the time. So it was really requiring. My daddy, recognizing the.
scenario that I'' m in and the enthusiasm that.
I had behind the comedy and the magic, he was able.
to permit me to do this. So I did all the math. It sufficed cash at.
the end of the month that also if I took a trip.
to Ottawa and returned, I'' d still have money left over. It would place Charity and I in.
a better financial setting. I could start saving for.
an engagement ring, which was something that.
was next on my list.And I ' d have the ability to begin.
conserving for the future. I literally went to sleep that.
evening going, OK, that'' s it. I ' m mosting likely to become a plumbing professional. I went to sleep. I got up the adhering to early morning. Charity awakens. Tell her my tale, I.
inform her what my idea is. I claim, I'' m reasoning. of coming to be a plumbing professional. What do you believe?
She goes, I think. it ' s an excellent idea. I go straight. downstairs, and I begin talking with my mother and.
my papa and Charity. And I claim, look, individuals, I'' m. thinking about becoming a plumbing technician. What do you assume? Here are my factors. My father stated it was an excellent concept. That was Sunday. Literally the following day, I.
provided in my two weeks' ' notice, and 2 weeks later, I in my.
dad'' s vehicle assisting him out.It was a fascinating.
circumstance, because I wear'' t pertained to such an excellent.
conclusion extremely commonly, and this was one of those.
minutes where I felt in one’s bones it was the right relocate to do. Looking back at it.
now, all the equipment that you see me working with,.
having this camera right here– this is a Canon 80D. This is at least a.
$ 1,000, $1,500 cam. My Canon G7 X, that'' s. an $ 800 camera. Everything that I have.
purchased, including an interaction ring,.
including paying for a good portion.
of my wedding, all that originated from plumbing. Pipes was the reason that.
I'' m here today as a vlogger. Which'' s something.
I'' m truly pleased of.Sorry, I ' m obtaining.
a bit emotional. One thing I wanted.
to tell you individuals, I recognize this is running. on pretty long. However one point I desired. to tell you guys was I ' m truly happy to be a plumbing professional. 3 generations. of guys in my family members have actually entered into pipes.
for the same factors. Throughout the age of Globe.
War II, when the globe was being separated in between.
communist and capitalist, my grandpa in.
Greece was extremely bad, and his family members was.
leaning in the direction of communism. And at that time,.
as a result of condition, he was dragged into the.
rebel military in Greece. At some point, the.
rebel army was losing. Him and my granny,.
consisting of the rest of their household.
that might make it, they went to communist Russia.So they went to.
an area which belonged to the Soviet Union at. the moment called Uzbekistan. When my grandpa. arrived, he had some previous. history in millwork.
My grandpa in Greece. helped his father, and they made use of to repair. carriage wheels and carriages completely. Which was the trade. he matured knowing.
So when he got to Russia, he. type of recognized some millwork. Attempted it out. Yet the issue he faced.
was that it was piecework, so you would make money.
according to every solitary item that you did correctly.The way the tale. goes is my grandfather would certainly
make 50 pieces. in a particular means, then start fine-tuning them and. recognize that all 50 pieces were in fact
off by a little bit. So they were pointless. And he was having a truly. difficult time, since he was thinking to himself, how. am I going to feed my family members?
So my grandpa. knew one more Greek person that lived in Uzbekistan as. well and stated to him, hey, do you mind if I
join you individuals? And that guy ran. a plumbing team. And as soon as he.
joined up, that ' s essentially just how he. made his living. And a couple of years later,.
he obtained to the factor where he was running.
six or seven crews.He was primarily a foreman,.
and he ' d most likely to work sites and see to it whatever.
was established appropriately. Which ' s what my.
grandfather did. He ended up being'a plumbing to much better. his financial position.
My papa matured in. the Soviet Union.
He went to college to learn.
just how to fix a details type of calculator in Russia. And basically, my father ended.
up changing over to pipes for the very same type of.
factors, because it simply provided a better lifestyle.
for him and a better financial position.I understand you ' re most likely. unwinding going, communism suggests everyone ' s. making the exact same money'.
Yet sadly, the. tales that I listen to, that ' s not the method it worked. There were hierarchies involved,.
and certain tasks really made more money. That'' s as
much as I. desire to get involved in that, yet my daddy got involved in
. pipes in Russia under my grandfather for.
the exact same factors, to ensure that he might give.
more for his family.Now, I didn '
t recognize. this'at the time. When I had made the.
choice, I simply did it because I.
recognized it existed. I recognized the labor.
and the hard job was something that.
would certainly obtain me paid well. And I understood there.
was a great deal of it. And it collaborated with the.
hours that I required and the cash that I needed. So I made a decision to enter into it to.
better my economic position and my partner'' s. financial placement. And currently right here we are. So the last point.
I intend to claim is that in the initial couple of years.
that I was doing pipes, it was extremely difficult.
for me, since I didn'' t intend to do the job. I got right into it for the.
money, however in mind, I was still a comic, and.
I was still an illusionist. But after that as I obtained.
much better, I started enjoying the analytical.
aspect of it. It ended up being something.
an increasing number of fun. And after that finding.
out regarding my family tree and exactly how my grandfather ended up being.
a plumbing technician to far better himself, and after that my father did.
it, and afterwards I did it, I concerned understand that.
pipes literally has permitted me to chase all.
these various other desires that I have.And for that, I
owe the pipes. [SONGS PLAYING]
