- Over the past two years,
I've lived in a lot of different cities,
maybe a couple dozen cities all around the world
and today I wanna talk about
how moving from different cities changes your outlook
and I wanna characterize a few cities,
go through some stuff that I've learned.
The main takeaway from this video
is that you can change your vibe by changing your city,
you can change your outlook
by changing the people that are around you
and you can get closer to your goals
by just moving locations.
First city I wanna talk about is New York.
It's the first place I moved to after college.
The reason why I moved to New York City
from Naples, Florida
is because I was emailing people in Naples
to try to get clients for my startup
and was receiving almost no responses.
I got a couple responses but almost nothing
and sometimes, in order to make something
happen in your life,
you have to move to the place where that thing is happening.
I wanted to be in startups.
So that meant I either had to be in San Francisco
or New York.
What I learned from New York
is there's a lot of networking events
and there's a lot of opportunities.
I was sending cold emails
from the day that I moved to New York.
I was in China for a month before that
and two weeks from the day that I moved there, I had a job.
That's how fast things move in the city.
It's no joke, the hustle in New York is real.
The only downside to New York for startups
versus somewhere like San Francisco
is because New York is cheaper than San Francisco
and it's also near all these other states
like people can drive in from Connecticut,
they can come in from New Jersey,
there's a lot more fake businesses
and a lot more fake startups at the networking events.
San Francisco on the other hand is pitch city.
The entire time I was there I was going to networking events
and selling and being sold to.
The opportunity in San Francisco
is about the same as the opportunity in New York
but what I found is because San Francisco
is such an expensive city,
there's a lot less fake startups there
and let me know in the comments
if you found different for San Francisco
but the quality of the businesses
especially if you're in SaaS
which I was back then is tremendous.
There there's Las Vegas
which is the city I moved to directly after New York
and Las Vegas so far has been one of the most helpful
startup cities and the reason why they do this
I think is because their startup culture is weak
and they know it but to give you an example
of how helpful Las Vegas is,
I had met 10 of the top entrepreneurs there
just by sending them emails, we met for coffee.
I ran into Vegas's biggest entrepreneur, Tony Hsieh
just chilling at a bar within the first couple days
in downtown Vegas and actually met Vegas's mayor
at a tech startup event.
So while the economic opportunity
isn't really there in Vegas,
the people there were incredibly helpful
and now I've been out in Los Angeles
for the last couple months
and the vibe here is completely different.
It kinda feels like a retirement home.
A lot of people are walking around
and I don't really know how people are making money.
In New York, when you meet somebody, you'll shake their hand
and the first question is what do you do?
In LA, almost nobody asks that question
and I think it's because there's so many people
that are fake actors or fake whatever
but they're actually waiters.
They don't actually make money and they're embarrassed by it
especially in the entertainment space
which is what we're digging into in this new company.
Also in LA, there's been a lot more meetings
with no outcomes.
In New York, almost every time you have a meeting
with somebody, there's some reason for the meeting
and there's some outcome like some output
whether it's a proposal or new business opportunity
or something.
In LA, I found that more people
are likely to take coffee meetings
just for the sake of getting out of the office.
Those are my top four cities.
If you're stuck out in the middle of the country
like I was out in Wichita for about six months
removed from everyone,
sometimes that's good to be completely isolated
'cause it lets you focus 100% on your business
but if you really wanna get things going,
every time I've been in a major city,
I've seen major jumps in the business.
