we finally found him. the most normal man alive. this is the guy they designed corporate america for. he’s in his element. thriving. he’s more neurotypical than any psychological test could possibly measure.
Honestly I feel like as the American dream dies people like this are just self brainwashing to try to pretend that it's not happening. I know it's just funny to laugh at but I seriously don't think these people are well or that it's healthy for society to have a bunch of capitalist NPCs running around.
I genuinely love the mindset he's promoting. There's far too much toxic "you have to be the best or you're nothing" rhetoric in business and academia, and "you only have to be the best you" is such an important thing for folks to hear. Screw being the fastest and strongest, just give it your all and focus on personal improvement. You'll get there way faster, with less stress.
Hoenstly? YES. I struggle with this SO hard because I always have this idea that I have to be the best and unltimately it leads me to procrastinating because I fear starting something bc "what if Im not THE BEST at it?!" Which 1) you wont KNOW if you dont try and 2) who tf cares? Like sure being very good at sth is NICE but its not a requirement. You dont have to be THE BEST at stuff.
There was comment saying it was satire/fake under one of his posts and a friend of his replied with “what if I tell you he’s been this positive since middle school.” Honestly, he gives off really good vibes and he seems like a really nice guy.
i don't want to make fun of his eyebrows but it seriously looks like he's using some kinda eyebrow wiggle filter? am i going crazy or is danny just pulling a fast one on me?
I went to the gym with Davis for years, and I will have you all know that he is the most genuine, hard-working, wholesome man that I met there. He always picked you up, always motivated you to do more. He was the "one more" guy, and real down to earth. I'm so glad to see him getting his name out there. Keep doing you Davis! Stay dialed in!!
@Anna-19928 I was blown away when I saw him on Danny's channel cuz we haven't spoken in years, but it makes me happy to see people supportive on this channel because he definitely deserves it!
ikr I feel like so many hustle-culture bros are just not great people. they're inconsiderate of mental health and well-being, or bigoted in a number of ways. But this guy's just passionate. That's literally it.
@@doodleBurgers ???? cause usually these kind of reaction/commentary videos are about those kind of awful people, plus the 'grind' guys who get popular are often misogynistic and rude
This man gives nice jock vibes. He’s always got a motivational quote. He just grew up and instead of football he now enthusiastically talks about his spreadsheets. He’s kinda goofy, but he’s just so happy you can’t really dislike him.
Yes, it was the CFA exam, one of the most notoriously difficult exams out there. It requires around 300 hrs of studying per section. Pretty sure in recent years the pass rate for all three sections has been below 10%. Some topics in the exam include: Financial report analysis Investments Wealth management/planning Derivatives Economics
@@ikeformayor im currently studying for the cpa exam, its said to be a lot easier. The continued education requirement is not that bad, but it can be annoying
@@babbique939 It's instagram, they'll hate on anything sweet or wholesome. A lesbian couple made a light-hearted joke about how their airbnb host called them "sisters" (even though they have a baby), and they weren't mocking the host or blaming straight people or any of that nonsense... yet almost EVERY comment is like "omg how dare they not know u guys have sex with each other!11!!" and gross homophobic stuff like that. Nobody is allowed to have fun on social media.
i love that you can tell Danny's been in dad mode because the first thing he thinks of when trying to think of why someone would need to be creative in their job is to hide gold from dragons. he's been studying those fairy tales
Honestly this guy has it all figured out. Positive thinking makes a huge difference to your overall wellbeing and sometimes it can be hard, talking to yourself like this even as a joke can be the first step in getting yourself out of those negative thought patterns.
I LOVE DAVIS!!!! for additional context the exam he took was the CFA or Chartered Financial Analyst exam. sadly davis did not pass :( but he stays DIALED IN and working to make great things happen!!!!
Okay, that confirms his line of work. I figured it was the CFA or CPA he was talking about. Those are pretty tough exams. I don't know him, but I hope he sticks with it!
i love this dude. he's just an average guy with an average job and yet he's so genuinely content with his life the way it is, and i envy that. instead of telling people that they always need more in life, he's just motivating them to work hard purely because they want to. and (at least i'm assuming) he's from boston, so i gotta respect a fellow massachusetts native.
Honestly, if you work in finance, you really DO be feelin that way about excel. We fucking LOVE excel. And I'll be honest, I LOVE my job. I don't personally understand the idea of needing to do a job that is your EVERYTHING. I love doing my job, and being able to turn the computer off, and start with my home life. I like that I work a job that is just a job, that I still love and take pride in. Even if it's just a like, basic desk finance job. IDK. there's something comforting in doing the same thing every day. I'm this pumped for my work most days too. Don't think I'd go on tiktok talking about it but you know, I guess someone's got to?
❤ this comment from Bangladesh. Am a corporate person here in Dhaka and watching this and reading comments like yours, I feel this brotherhood (/sisterhood) and as well felling “Dialed in “ 😊😊😊😊
Actually getting dressed even in basic "outside outfits" and even wearing a ring or earrings made me feel more productive in my work from home so its definitely has a psychological effect on you
I've noticed on days where I wake up and just hang out in my pj's, my drive and productivity is way down. I can't get myself to do anything but once I throw on some jeans and a clean shirt I feel more ready
My job involves me wearing an apron so when I’m at home and I need to be productive, I put on an apron because it helps me be productive. My husband usually does chores while in his work clothes just because It helps !
This is actually something I've learned in therapy! Even dressing into something else, even a different pair of pjs, can help you feel like you're being productive. If you change into a tshirt and pants, or perhaps a dress, and then sit around all day, you'll still feel better than if you didn't change at all. Fun little brain hack :)
Aw man I hope that dude lives a great life. People online are such bullies, so I hope he can see past it. What a positive person, it’s so easy to be negative but he’s trying!
I'm going to be honest... Spreadsheets give my brain the tingle. When you enter just the right formula and your entire table pops into existence? Chills.
I looove this guy, I ran into him once on the street and he was just as positive in real life. He asked what me and my friend were motivated towards and told us to keep grinding. He really is just a wholesome guy who loves encouraging people
I actually love this guy, he's so wholesome. Usually these grindset guys are kinda misogynistic and weird but this guy is just doing his thing and spreading positivity which is so nice.
It's not just that these guys are misogynistic it's that they genuinely hate poor people and think they wouldn't exist if everyone just acted like a corporate robot.
This guy rocks. Far too often we see “rise and grind” influencers who are overtly toxic and corny. This guy is the perfect amount of aloof while also being very endearing and positive. Love him.
I clicked on this video thinking it said "How a man died on instagram" and I watched this entire video about 3 times before i realized that the man, in fact, did not die. On the other hand, im about to absolutely *hammer* some excel spreadsheets.
I worked with a colleague who was unironically an Excel genius. He never bragged about it but you always felt like he walked in godly form amongst us mere humans. His wizardy saved us more than once.
This is a bro who accentuates so far beyond the paradigm that he is at the forefront of innovative frontiers when it comes to shifting the dialog regarding modern economic platforms and how they relate to personal entrepreneurship and the growth sector of emerging firms
06:27 FLASH WARNING! ‼️‼️‼️‼️. I was watching this during the night and in the dark. Bad call. So please look out for it. I was alone and kind of fucked.
I can dig it! He’s not shitting on anyone, he just loves his early morning grind, I guess He reminds me of my best friend who isn’t particularly career motivated but sets her alarm for 4.30 so she can lift weights for 2 hours before her 9-5 job. I’ll never understand it, but she’s never made me feel uncomfortable for not joining her
Honestly it creeps the hell out of me that people are like "yeah this is good actually." The implication of all this stuff is that this is how everyone should be and if you were like this guy you would never have any problems in life. It is straight up propaganda, but because it's corporate propaganda and not for a foreign government or something people don't recognize it as such and are like "oh, he seems like a nice guy." Maybe he is, but this whole grindset "dialed in" shit is still toxic and most people who push it genuinely hate the poor. He didn't really say that much, you have no idea what he thinks about a lot of this stuff.
@@DinoCismListen I understand your thought process, I hate capitalist society as much as the next guy- but this is just a dude who’s livin and showin us how he does his thing,, it’s not always a big conspiracy dude you’re pointing your frustration in the wrong direction
This guy is great. Having worked in the Fortune 500 corporate space for years, you hope to work with or be on a team with a person like this. It's inspiring/motivating in the white collar space. What a GEM. I hope he keeps it up! And wish him luck when he sits for his CFA again!
Is he purely positive? At around 12:54 he snuck in a bit of judgement towards young people.. using a stereotype that none of them actually work hard...
this guy is so refreshing from the usual “motivational” videos on insta and tiktok no putting down others, no misogyny, just a dude wanting to do a good job and be fulfilled in his life and wanting to defend money from that dragon ofc
@@bungiecrimes7247 I made this comment before reading the comments and yea I noticed the same thing. I guess saying “so refreshing the no misogyny” is a low effort complement that I and others used bc it’s easy to say hivemind ig
@@mariac4127 absolute positivity. karma will never get me, i wish no bad will upon others or myself you just gotta start gaslighting yourself until you believe it
Literally me last night. Went to bed at 12:30, woke up twice between then and 3:30, and then got up at 3:45. You’d think I’d be able to fall asleep now… but no.
Could imagine he has to wake up this early to go to work. I have the same. When I'm at my parents' over the weekend, I also have to wake up at 4:30 am on mondays to be on time at school, which starts at 8 am
I clicked this video expecting it to be about some manosphere alpha bro type dbag but he’s super wholesome . He reminds me of that one guy who loves trains and gets the face pov reaction when it comes, except Davis is like that with work . He seems like a genuine guy who means well , I hope he does well and continues to be happy and dialed in. Thank you for bringing this treasure of a guy to a wider audience , Danny, I too feel locked and dialed in
I think I met that trainspotting guy at King’s Cross Station once, if you’re talking about the same one! I was on a vintage train one Saturday and he had waited at the platform for 20 minutes just to see it, he ducked out of some selfies with fans to take photos of the train from another angle 😂 kind of iconic
All my favorite people have been like this. Bringing the passion, even if its mundane. It just brings everybody up. Which is actually ESPECIALLY helpful when things are boring and a little bit tedious and stuff. Keeps the vibe fun and drama-free.
I don't find this guy's enthusiasm for work relatable, per se, but I'm rooting for him. He's out there crushing those spreadsheets because he's dialed in. The people that are giving him hate need to find a better hobby.
i love commentary that doesnt lean into the "hater" culture. u can tell dannys already got the makings of a great dad, being able to nurture positivity even if you don't necessarily understand the person expressing it is important
update: he failed his test but he's still locked in, smashing runs and wholesome af. also people just hating on him are super weird. dudes just staying positive, and living his best life.
Danny missed the comment under the ones ‘hating’. It’s a thing on instagram where people will be like “this guy is such a L” and they will comment under their own comment with “egend”, so it looks like they’re hating but they twist it with saying he’s a Legend etc.
Honestly I love this guy. He’s the first finance bro who doesn’t make me wanna cry. Like no joke just saying “locked in for greatness today” gets me pumped like no else.
Honestly if your dream job is just being in an office or at home just hammering some spreadsheets that’s great! I hope you get to do that, its really nice for people to be happy and you don’t need some crazy impossible to get job to be a successful person, just that you’re happy and able to like eat and stuff
That actually sounds like a dream to me. I'm autistic and I have ADHD, and I work retail. It's a daily nightmare for me. I wish I could get out but I don't even have a degree. I dropped out of college after 4 years because I got super burned out. I still had another year to go. :(
@@sweetsour4375have you thought about community college or night classes online or smth? you might even be able to transfer ur completed credits from ur previous college! in the meantime for overstimulation in shops im a huge fan of earbuds like loop (or a cheaper knockoff lol) to muffle some of the noise? either way i wish you the best and i hope things work out for you :))
Aww this guy is really wholesome actually like Danny’s so right he’s just making the most of whatever job or situation he’s in and giving it his all and being as positive as he can about it and I love that and I really wish I could be more like that lol
6:40 no his name is Stanley from the Stanley parable/ the Stanley parable ultra deluxe aka Stanley parable 2/ the Stanley parable 2 with an hour of new content
People like Davis are what makes workplace an instant realm of positive vibes. I had a manager who had pretty much the same persona and wouldn't push us to get the job done, but rather provide us with the motivation needed to outpace the usual flow and efforts. There's better equilibrium in work-life balance now. God bless them both, I wish the world can have more of these legends.
getting dressed up a little to do whatever tasks you have at home - nothing fancy, just coming up with something that looks put-together - does genuinely help for some people! obviously it’s different for everyone, but personally i have a hard time getting anything done if i haven’t put a little effort into my outfit, even if the effort is just making sure the colors go well together
Thank you. I always thought waking up at 5 PM meant I was sleeping in, waking up late, and wasting my day. Now I know I'm actually extremely productive, waking up so early that I'm waking up the day before.
@@englishatheart I don’t think he’s working his life away, everyone has to be at work the same 40+ hours a week, might as well make the most of it if you can
