Oh yes... Jamie has some fans around here.

In fact he has multiple islands now.

Thanks for posting this link. Not come across this guy's videos before but have just really enjoyed the one about his University Experience https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuWBYG8seAE - certainly provoking some agreement in this household. Sadly (as I spent 24 years working in the university system and trying to do right- its not easy).

His flaling rant beginning at 6:30 is a spectacular, evangelical tribute to future-me thinking.

"I'm just gonna feel good for a while, while I have some snacks. Yeah, snacks. I brought snacks. That's so nice. Thank you Jamie of the past for packin' some snacks. Ahhhhh....."

Hallelujah.

I love the part @9:10 where he says "You can't do the comfortable decisions now and just expect that one day ...'one day', you know...you'll starting making the good decisions and then blam! everything'll be *snippety-snap* great for you." LOL Truer words ...

Excellent video.

I considered this one briefly:

Not quite the stereotype "private island".

$29 000!!! I could buy this now, it's been one of my lifelong ambitions since I was about 4.

Minnesota is a bit far away though...
