that's right i'm hunting for a new york
city apartment again yes i am finally
buying a place in the city after renting
for the past nine years welcome back to
the vlog and thanks to trade for
sponsoring the first episode of 2022.
there's a lot that i want to fill you in
on in this video
[Music]
a very happy new year to youtube
theo is not feeling the new year it's
kind of glued me out kind of dark and
gray if you can see out the window yeah
i actually went and saw a place just
about two weeks ago and i filmed a
a little walk through on my instagram so
go make sure and follow me on instagram
it's where i post quite a bit these days
i find i post more on instagram than i
do here on this youtube channel so this
is the first place i saw and i want to
give you a quick little look at the
pictures this place is a four bedroom
three and a half bath
this is at the upper end of what i'm
looking for this first shot here is the
dining room it is a loft space it's in
tribeca i love the ceiling with those
exposed beams this is another view of
the kind of a great room here you have
the little seating area dining room off
into the corner and you can really see
just the character in this place and
this is the kitchen so it is southern
facing so you have sunlight the entire
day here is the den so it has that main
living room and then this den here's a
shot of the bedroom and again i have to
say it is pretty surreal to be looking
for a place like this to purchase as a
home
i'm a very nostalgic person if you
haven't guessed and i wanted to make
this video for a bunch of reasons mainly
because a lot of you watching don't
really know my backstory and the vast
majority of you watching know me as that
guy in the suits in those expensive
apartments with sweeping views of new
york city you know those 10 20 30 40
million dollar places and it's ironic
because that is the furthest thing away
from how this started how this youtube
channel started i started this youtube
channel here in 2014 it was september
and i started making vlogs and
regrettably i've mentioned this a few
times i actually
uh i deleted
like 400 vlogs from this channel
and i actually threw away the hard
drives that had those vlogs on them
again regrettably and it just so
happened a viewer named kevin actually
saved about 300 of those videos those
early i'm talking the first videos on a
hard drive i sent kevin my office
address here in soho and he mailed me
i'll show it to you right here i'm
talking everything look at all of these
videos that are on this drive
all of them the last day of 2021
yesterday i went i watched about four of
these videos
and
i
i'm still at a loss for words for them
i'll play a little clip right now
look at that moon right now
that is pretty awesome it's uh just
about 6 35 gonna be a really long day
i'm working an internship shift
at the actors studio tonight
from six to midnight
and then right now i'm going to
my day job which is from seven till two
i had just hit 1 000 subscribers and i
was so ecstatic and that was after doing
this for uh about a half a year i was
doing youtube before i hit a thousand
subscribers and i was ecstatic i mean i
i couldn't believe it kevin if you are
watching this i have nothing but
gratitude
it was a real treat when you reached out
to me and emailed uh
that you had those videos i i couldn't
believe that you had them that you saved
them and all of kevin's information is
linked down here in the description so
go check him out go show him some love i
just have nothing like i said but
gratitude and i'm shocked it really puts
in perspective because because the start
of any journey in life is always
exponentially harder than the end i'm
talking the very beginning and for me
having the ability to look back at the
beginning of something at a huge journey
at something that was a massive goal
it's new year's day i hope you're
watching this i hope you set your goals
your manifestations it's so important to
have that perspective especially if
you're new to the channel and you click
and you're looking at these home tours
and you see me in the suit walking
around it's important to know where i
came from and with that i started a
second channel where i'm re-uploading
all those original videos i'm talking
all the videos from 2014 through 2016.
i'm re-uploading them and putting them
on a separate channel so it's linked
down in the description here you can go
look at it check it out just because it
is so important to know where you
started because i'm not going to lie to
you the beginning
of my journey
it's some of the fondest memories i have
the start seymour yeah nice to meet you
nice to meet you too that's so cool yeah
keep up the prize it great
yeah you too
i will
bye
[Music]
how cool is that
i find it really interesting because my
channel is not that big
i think there's close to we're almost at
5000 but to get stopped in new york city
by someone who watches the vlogs
it's pretty awesome
the beauty in life often lies in the
struggle and i want to have that up
there for everyone to watch it's new
year's like i mentioned setting goals
document this write this stuff down film
it so you have it we live in
we live in crazy times where you can
you can have a huge dream and you can
document the very beginning when you're
at the bottom eating you can
document that so you can look back on
that share that story with others and
hopefully learn something just sitting
down getting some work done here sipping
on
some delicious trade coffee the sponsor
of this vlog if you've been watching my
videos since the beginning you know i'm
a sucker for good coffee and this right
here this is a delicious cup of coffee
with trade you can discover new coffees
from the nation's top local roasters and
i'm a huge fan of small businesses i
love supporting local good quality
products and with trade you can do that
trade actually matches you to your own
personal selection of coffee and ships
straight from the roastery at peak
freshness there are three simple steps
step one you take the quiz you answer
questions about how you like your coffee
and trade will curate the matches just
for you personally i'm a french press
guy i love the ritual in the morning
routine of a french press step number
two right to your door you choose how
often you want this coffee the delivery
frequency so it comes right to your
apartment so you never run out of coffee
i personally i forget
basic things especially when i'm working
very hard like i forget to eat sometimes
i forget to go grocery shopping i forget
to buy coffee with trade i'm never
never out of delicious fresh
coffee trade also uses compostable
packaging to ship all their coffee then
afterwards you rate and repeat so trade
can actually perfect that perfect cup of
coffee i'm gonna actually test this one
out on camera i mean i've been drinking
this all week but
it is so fresh it has notes of caramel
honey and clementine right in the cup
all you have to do is take the quiz by
clicking on the link in the description
box down below and my viewers get 15 off
their first three bags when they sign up
free shipping is also included i want to
thank trade again for sponsoring this
vlog and with that well let's get on
with the day
you know i started this channel to to
document life like right now theo is
who's there huh who's there buddy who's
there
no no no no no no bark no bark i like
that you're protecting the house but no
barking inside i lost that aspect of
documenting life just to have those
memories to look back on
you know to share
things that got me inspired like even
sharing like what i'm reading right now
go over to the bookshelf show you know
things that i am
excited about in life and essentially
the whole point of this little spiel is
that things are going to be changing on
this channel i
am embarking on something in my life
that i am terrified to do it scares the
crap out of me that's why i have to do
it the content on this channel is going
to be shifting more towards uh things
like this vlogs i know i mentioned back
in
the fall of last year that i'd be
vlogging again and i just i didn't do it
because i i didn't know what to film
and i thought that the videos had to be
a certain level of quality this new
thing i'm working on is uh like i
mentioned i'm terrified and i'm
documenting this now on the first day of
the new year just because
i want to look back on this i have it
right here
right next to the wall street journal
article with our buddy here ns
i have my whiteboard and i'm a firm
believer of writing down your vision you
have to write it down there's a quote
that says you can have the best ship in
the world you can have the smartest the
most capable captain but if that captain
that doesn't know where to take that
boat you're gonna drift around in the
ocean forever you have to write it down
you have to be crystal clear and of
course a whole lot more of new york
city's cutest
and fattest golden retriever puppy
theo who is currently
fixated on
this
can you sit for me theo can you sit
there you go good boy said are you with
me now
ain't fat just good in a while
they want us to simmer down
can you hear me now
am i going in and now
i stop and just look around
to see if you're with me now
tell me
thank you theo thank you
thank you
not too bad
the beauty of the rowing machine
or anything in general
is to finish
stronger
than you started
good boy
holy crap thank you theo it's okay
i don't know what he thinks when i do
the uh the rowing machine i think he's
actually
sensing that i'm in pain
because the wrong machine hurts
it hurts so a lot of you watching might
not know but
i actually went to northeastern
university
and i was
a rower in college
i actually got into northeastern on a
rowing scholarship
and i still get on the erg machine
if you know you know the erg is one of
the hardest workouts
it's one of the hardest workouts in the
world
it's fantastic cardio and strength
and theo you want to go to the park
all right get your leash let's go
you never regret a good workout
and going on our evening walk this is
kind of like our little routine here
theo's taking the reins
going to the soho grand dog park i don't
think i've ever showed this on my
channel but we spent a lot of time here
[Music]
this is the world famous soho grand dog
park it's kind of bougie but it's a
private park and my logic is i come here
with theo at least four to five times
per day so it does pay for itself it's
like i think like 800 for the year which
is pretty affordable if you break it
down by the day and with that theo is
going to play here in the park for a
little bit i hope you enjoyed it this
