@@izylives6070 thank you, that’s exactly what I hoped my channel would achieve

The simple answer is that you give ideas and inspire in most ways that most people on KZread do not.

Congratulations on your hard work and well deserved success. Met Antonio at a London, UK meet-up and delighted to hear he offered mentorship. All the best moving forward.

@@CanadaAstro thank you. Antonio is indeed a greater mentor, as are many other ‘originals’ in this space

Damn, I never even noticed you never said 'please like and subscribe ' until you said it. I guess it proves that making quality work, being appreciative of your veiwers and hoping that they have gotten something from what you have to say speaks way louder yet way more subtle than an easy pls get me support no matter what. A true gentleman behind the camera.

Truly an inspiration. Congratulations! Also, definitely felt like this video was aimed at me. We both started in the same niche around the same time, but I lacked the consistency. This video motivates me to stop slacking. Thank you James

Well done on your success. Hope that you continue to grow and thrive. Here's to the next nine months

Congratulations, mate. What an incredible - and well-earned - achievement

Keep up the good work. I’m a 60 year old man who thinks it is just wonderful that a young man such as yourself is helping other young men learn the “Manly Arts.” I was lucky to have an “Old School” father who taught me well. There are many young men out there who don’t have the type of mentor my father was to me. I follow you as I enjoy seeing the lessons you teach.

A real gentleman, I believe, is willing to share his experiences , both triumphs and set backs. Kudos!

Congratulations James (Gent Z) for achieving what you envision with by taking risks,being consistent and learning from others and your mistakes.

I am glad I found this channel two months ago. As I noticed most people wear lululemon, T shirt in Los Angeles, I appreciate suits and other traditional styles being worn daily. It makes the daily experience richer.

Congratulations on your growth and continued success! You’re an inspiration to many not only with your style, but also your lifestyle. I wish you all the best in your KZread career. 🙏🏾

Good for you James! Been following the channel for most of your journey. You should be very proud of yourself. I too am a musician and I understand a lot of what you said. Cheers to a strong Gent Z future!!!

Congratulations! As I’ve often said if one has passion for whatever they do, they will be successful and enjoy their life! You deserve it all!

*trumpet blast* Congratu-freaking-lations, James! I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say we are amazed and proud. What an accomplishment, I hope it brings you years of happiness! Watching you grow from the early days up until this moment has been an absolute delight. You've worked damn hard to get there. Sidenote, but it's also lovely to see you still speak so warmly of Augustina and it was nice hearing how she helped you get your start. Quitting your job is a big jump and, with your work ethic, no doubt it will pay off. All the best.

Jeremiah, great to hear from you! I remember you from the very early days and your comments always gave me a lot of encouragement. Here's to many more years of videos and discussions in the comments.

7:30 Wow. In my head canon,I had Antonio as the "Steve Rogers" of the Gent Z MCU. Turns out,he's more Nicholas Fury.

Congratulations. Most channels fail, the best is to start with no expectations and as a hobby or as a way to learn video editing. Otherwise, failure (which is the most likely thing to happen) will haunt you.

All the best! Taking the risk is difficult not everyone can do it. But if you don’t you’ll never know.

That's the thing about turning 25. It's a big milestone, but also the beginning of your life. God bless, and congratulations on seeing the rewards of your hard work. Here's a poem: “On Turning Ten” The whole idea of it makes me feel like I'm coming down with something, something worse than any stomach ache or the headaches I get from reading in bad light a kind of measles of the spirit, a mumps of the psyche, a disfiguring chicken pox of the soul. You tell me it is too early to be looking back, but that is because you have forgotten the perfect simplicity of being one and the beautiful complexity introduced by two. But I can lie on my bed and remember every digit. At four I was an Arabian wizard. I could make myself invisible by drinking a glass of milk a certain way. At seven I was a soldier, at nine a prince. But now I am mostly at the window watching the late afternoon light. Back then it never fell so solemnly against the side of my tree house, and my bicycle never leaned against the garage as it does today, all the dark blue speed drained out of it. This is the beginning of sadness, I say to myself, as I walk through the universe in my sneakers. It is time to say good-bye to my imaginary friends, time to turn the first big number. It seems only yesterday I used to believe there was nothing under my skin but light. If you cut me I would shine. But now if I fall upon the sidewalks of life, I skin my knees. I bleed. © 1995 Billy Collins from The Art of Drowning

Wow. Amazing.

Congratulations 🎉 I was one of the first to start watching, and what really surprised me was your take on men’s fashion as a gen-z. I love the vibe with the James Bond, Carey Grant 1950’s era man. Can’t wait to see what you are doing one year from now.

Well done, you are indeed an inspiration!

Well done & congratulations - thanks for the good content 👌

Next week is my last week working a day job . I retire after that. I'm 62 and I'm done with 9 to 5, period. I will still work, just only what I want to do, not what I "have to" do. I was a musician for 20 years until 2001 when I went into classic car restoration. Not hotrod stuff. Restoration. Full, Pebble Beach, level restoration. After 23 years, I'm retired and now I get to work on MY cars! It still hasn't sunk in yet. I may do a youtube channel. A "how to" . I need to pass on all my knowledge, especially my carb and tuning and electrical knowledge. Its a dying art and there soon won't be any mechanics that can work on pre-war classics and such. But! I also get wear nice clothes again! As a mechanic, you are dirty all the time. Most people are shocked when they see me NOT in my work clothes/element. Now I can wear nice clothes all the time. My dad recently passed away and I inherited his suits. My next project is getting them all tailored to fit me. He the jackets all fit, not the pants. Should be fun.

Congratulations bro wish you all the best. Looking forward to more gentlemen videos.

Congrats - glad to hear the channel is growing as well as your career.

congratulations !

Well done!

Well done. I look forward to his daily videos. Keep up the good work.

Congrats on your success young man ,I love the character your playing ,very easy to watch,

Good for you sir... Your video quality obviously reflects the amount of followers and in-turn, revenue you are generating. Effort yields results.

Congratulations

Congrats

Congratulations and best wishes!

I agree with what youbsaid about passion projects. As an entreprenuer, it is easier to monetize something I already enjoy. Trying to make money doing something I'm not passionate about has only lead to failure.

Congratulations, keep up the good work. I like your channel, been following for a long time it seems.

You are doing amazing and all your subjects are outstanding. Congratulations and wishing you lots of success!! You got this!!💪🙌🍾👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🎉

Congratulations and all the best from Germany!

Congratulations! This is very inspiring!

Well done Sir. Best of luck going forward. Keep it up

I appreciate your openness in this video, BUT my favorite part is how you point out that you never ask people to like and subscribe because they will if they want to. The most irritating thing I find in videos is people asking just that in every one of their videos as if we didn't know how to subscribe. Granted, a few new people on KZread might need to be made aware of it, but the vast majority know how to use it. AND YES, we will "like" and "subscribe" if a creator is interesting. It's somewhat like "respect," but you won't get it if you ask. Ya got to earn it.

Congrats! Love your channel, love your attitude. Your honesty wrt to your journey is brilliant, and inspiring.

Hearing your story was very interesting! As a "car guy," another KZreadr I watch religiously is Doug DeMuro. He's had a much longer journey than you, and as such he's pretty much the top dog among automotive KZreadrs, and last year he sold his "Cars & Bids" bidding platform for something like $25m. His story spans more years, but I see a lot of similarities between the two of you. I hope further down the line you'll continue to build on your success and get your $25m (or whatever) payday too!!

Congratulations, very well deserved success. You’ve quickly become one of my favourite KZread channels. It was also very insightful to hear the origins of Gent Z and your growth via KZread

What a great story .I am sure you will inspire many young people.Well done James.

Congratulations. M

I think the subject is also very important. I have a channel that is very niche (focusing on a particular corner of tabletop roleplaying games) that 's been going for several years, but I have about a tenth of your subscribers. Passion projects are all well and good, but a broader subject will draw in more subscribers and supporters and allow it to transform into a full-time thing.

Good work, deserved.

Road to 100k! 🎉🎉🎉

I remember discovering your channel during the 'Old money aesthetic trend! You were one of the few people who showed me the power of classic style. I was inspired by you wearing your navy double breasted blazer. You've come such a long way and I hope this is just the beginning of a long, succesful journey! I look forward to your future and I hope you reach the 100k mark soon. I'd love to see you get your first play button. Cheers!

You come across very well. Providing much needed advice on how a man should conduct themselves. I very much enjoy your videos. Good luck to you..

Impressive, fantastic job, I have a feeling you are on to something much bigger than just how to dress. DREAM BIG.

This is very inspiring. My channel is small and have been at it for 7 years now. I'm happy with what I have because I never intended to try to grow a large channel when I started, but the fact that I can earn some pocket change from it has been amazing and makes me want to keep going even if I don't ever hit it big. Congrats on your success

Good on you mate. Loving the pinstripes (or chalkstripes?), btw.

Underrated

Thank you. Those two channels were my heroes so to even be mentioned in the same sentence is a great honor.

James. You’re the reason I want to be a KZreadr

First and foremost I want to say congratulations on making the courageous move. Most people definitely have the fear of going for it. What's funny is I never noticed that you did not ever ask to like or subscribe to a video but I did because of exactly what you talked about. I took it upon myself because I like the content and the way it is presented. By the way I am twice your age and I am very impressed and inspired by you. There is no question in my mind that you are going to be extremely successful and I imagine you doing a variety of things from writing books and even being a technical consultant for films. Continue moving forward and once again thank you very much.

Well-done young man all the best from an old young man in Kwekwe Zimbabwe

You are doing a great job with interesting content and presentation style. Your sucess with continue, I am quite sure.

Thank you for sharing this story. You are giving a good service to the younger generations, encouraging them to improve their clothing selections and their manners. I watch the uTube channels that you have mentioned. I would encourage you to create quality and relevant content and not keep pumping out videos like some of the others do. I liked how you showed your followers your style by the clothing you were wearing. I would caution you to not wear something different in every video that you create. Style isn't so much about constant acquisition of clothing and shoes. Fans are not collectors, building walk in closets. Good luck to you. I am a baby boomer but I certainly enjoy style videos.

Of course, if you are getting nowhere with your videos, you can always resort to clickbait titles which most of the large channels seem to do, even James's idol in my view, as I've learned nothing from Antonio, but do have the odd item mentioned by James! Good on James for getting here without them!

I think you would enjoy the 1989 FRANK OZ movie DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS. There are many POSITIVE interactions on gentlemen etiquette, style, poise, presentation, and overall image. Michael Cain's Character tries to teach STEVE MARTIN some style. I think you might be able to generate some video ideas out of this + you'll have fun. Good luck, keep up the good work.

Good for you glad to hear it. I just turned 55 and watch all of your videos so I guess there is a "Gent X'er" who thinks you have valuable content. Keep up the great work and wishing you all the best!

Big fan! I'm building my collection at present then will be doing more videos. Andy Elliott! Lol. He's cool I met that guy at his seminar. I sell cars. It's a brutal industry.

"Dress for success" and yes, you do.

Growing up and idolizing the charisma and overall presentation of Daniel Craig's Bond in Casino Royale, I've appreciated your videos but it was very funny to hear about your first big video being related to that same film. Absolute classic. Congrats on the success, can't wait to see you hit 100k!

Rather than a 'YOUNG GENTLEMEN' brand I think 'DASHING GENTLEMEN' brand is more appropriate given all ages watch your videos and you're after more than just a style. Also, as you're attracting ladies too, I think you should incorporate 'DASHING LADIES' into your brand. Especially if you want to set up a network, with regional meets, where ladies and gentlemen can meet like-minded others.

In the beginning focus on micro points of interesting things, when you pull back it ca spread across many videos

Hello Gent Z? I saw a video of yours and went through several and may have missed it but you spoke about how your face looked a bit puffy and you used a roller along with your weight loss. What video or tool did you use to help with that?

Good for you! Love the channel and those of the other gentlemen you mentioned.

Maybe now you could diversify your content with thing like interviewing members of the public, doing demonstrations on gentlemanliness out in the real world.

If you want a good paying job that screams masculinity, is fun and will be different every day oh and did I mention that it pays decently: arborist. That’s what I’m going for and I’ve recently contacted the school of my choice which told me that the course with all certifications and everything is €6K gear is at budget end €1.5K-€2K and straight out of school you can start earning €30-€35 an hour. The school I’m going to also helps you find costumers and some other arborists that might wanna work together from time to time and once you paid for that school you are allowed to do nearly all the lessons over again for free to refresh your memory. I would love to get paid what some famous KZreadrs get paid but I don’t really wanna be famous so that’s why I go for arborist.
