Been a while since I watched LTT. But, found out some original people left. Watched Jake's video going over his time there as one of the LMG lifers on why he quit. An interesting thing he said was "You kind of start thinking while you're working on your boss's third house, if you're ever going to be able to buy a house." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqVxgcKQO2E

I lost interest in LTT years back after he started coming off as more of a tech bro throwing around his wealth and his opinion on unions.

But, pretty surprising LMG Lifers like him who were there before LTT became a corporate success didn't get things like shares, but instead were paid like regular employees. Thought the wealth would have been shared among the staff who helped get the small start up into something big.

Guess it was one of those usual we are family type businesses where early staff put in long hours at odds hours with various responsibilities to help the business get its footing, but people never really progressing beyond simple employees so didn't benefit from business growth like those who hold shares would.
