Editing The Pen Addict 211/transcript (section)

== Conversation Evolution ==


'''Ed Jelley:''' And this is, and this is a new thing. We're all trying to figure this out, right? 10 years ago, we're not having these types of conversations, right? We're in a state right now where we have these options for what directs our lives and it's hard to figure out. So it's nice to be able to have these conversations no matter where they lead.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. I feel like if you're about to set me off on something, so I'll try and keep this very brief. Uh, this is like one of my, uh, biggest annoyances with the complaints about millennial generation. And it's the people say that they're lazy. They just want the job that is for them. They want the job that they want, that kind of thing. And it's purely because this is the generation where we're able to create our own jobs that hasn't existed before so much, right? Like the only other way to do it was to make a business. Like how does everybody make a business? You could go buy a store and sell stuff like physically in the street. Like that doesn't exist for everyone. Not everybody can do that. It takes money that not everybody has, but the internet has enabled people to create businesses for themselves. It can be anything. It can be writing like you guys do. It could be a podcasting like I do, or it can be selling stuff, but it's way easier when you can just fire up an Etsy store and see if people are actually interested in your thing. That's what has been the biggest impact to my generation, in my opinion, where it ends up people saying, oh, millennials are just lazy. They don't want to do that banking job. No, it's just because nobody actually wants to do that job. Previously, there wasn't a way out, right? People were just unhappy. I mean, I worked with everybody was unhappy. Nobody actually wanted to be there. It was just the thing that they did. But now people have a way out. So they have this type of thing, and this is the type of thing that's available to them. But it does come with a lot of hard work and a lot of choices that you have to make. That's what I'm going to say on this for now. Ding! Ed, where can people find your work?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' You can find me at edjelly.com, E-D-J-E-L-L-E-Y.com, and at edjelly on Instagram. I'll just say edjellyphoto.com, see some pictures, and over at everydaycarry.com. Awesome. And real quick, just as my closing statement, I know this isn't quite, the most positive topic, but I'm not quitting. I'm not giving it up. I'm not selling the site. I'm just, you know, you just listen to this for an hour and 11 minutes, so you kind of know how I feel. But I just wanted to let people know that, look forward to my work and reading my reviews, that as of right now, they're not going anywhere. I just might not feel as super about them as I did four years ago when I started it. But I don't want to scare anybody. Super, super bad.

'''Ed Jelley:''' And you have 100% of my support, our support, the community support. And, you know, any decision you make is going to be the best decision for you. And we're behind it 100%. And we don't want to see you go anywhere. Don't go. Except this is over. So I'm going to go back to work. Yeah, go do that. Yeah, go now. We're done with you. Goodbye.
