My impression: it reeks of someone who's self aware enough to know they're insufferable and privileged, but then goes on to be insufferable anyway. Evidence: jiu jitsu, Waterloo, free diving, refers to themselves as a "social media influencer" on their Twitter bio. Also, never interviewed for a job and says "oh, just be likeable," as if that's somehow the whole secret to life. Sorry to say, but it is not. I won't hire a likeable bumbler, and I'd bet he wouldn't either. Merit does matter, but only once one reaches the point where merit can be demonstrated. That point is often not during the interview process, because interviews are very rarely all that much like the actual job one would be interviewing for. And, nobody should listen to someone who's maybe all of 30 on how to live life, and especially not on how to be a father. Half of what's there isn't actionable; half of the other half reads like one of those "I just bought my first home: here's how I did it," articles that tries to bury the lede and stick the fact that their parents paid the down payment in the middle of so much inconsequential bullshit you'll skip over it. It's pretty plain this guy has never seen the other side of what his life looks like. As the great Jean Luc Picard said, "It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not weakness, that is life." For every one of him there are five others out there who committed as many or fewer mistakes as he did, but just lost out to dumb luck. But, it's pretty hard to see that being as far up one's own ass as he appears to be.
