My Journey: How I Became The World's First 4x (and 3x) Grand Master On Kaggle

Since a lot of people have asked me about my journey to become the world's first 4x grand master (and also first 3x grand master) on Kaggle and since I am not into blogs, I decided to rather make a KZread video about it. I hope you like it :)
If you have any questions, feel free to ask me in comments. I try my best to reply/answer each comment that I receive.

    I just wanna say I really like watching your videos and this format of you sharing your experiences is super interesting to listen to. You're a person I look up to and feel like I'm getting a better perspective on a lot of different things from your videos. I can definitely relate to how you felt about certain courses during school and how learning machine learning on your own was perhaps more exciting :) Right now I'm on a similar journey trying to learn more about ML, reading papers and trying to implement them on my own. I saw that your book is going to be released soon too, it looked very interesting, will definitely get it when it's released and use the advice to start doing Kaggle competitions. Anyways this post was way too long, just wanna say keep doing what you're doing, you're awesome
