Steemit and Quiting the Rat Race
I've been Steeming since 2 months and it's about time I tell you a little bit more about me :
- My name is Jean-Francois, but you can call me Jeff for short!
- I am French Canadian
- I work as a pharmacist
- Interests : traveling, music (I sing and play guitar), nature, self-improvement techniques and sports
My Story
I used to be like everyone around me : working 9 to 5, doing what the system asked me to do, never questioning or setting goals in my life.
I experienced a lot of anxiety in those days : I didn't know its origins then, but felt hollow and unfulfilled.
In 2012, I started growing interest in finances, after my father showed me an ''emergency'' plan for ''hardships'', which consisted of a few gold bars he had bought in the '90s.
I became aware of cryptocurrencies around 2013, via Brother John F's ''Bitcoin Channel''.
In 2015, I decided to quit the city life and bought my grandparents' 1959 cabin in the wilderness and restored it since.
Influences/wakeup calls

- Brother John F and the Bitcoin Channel YouTube
- Anyone quitting the system and living his own dream
My Vision and Plans
I have the extreme luxury with my job to try to quit the rat race... part time!
Most people just can't, they have to be all-in.
Here's what's to come next :
- Working part-time starting this winter
- Starting a YouTube channel this fall focusing on meditation, relaxation, sleep improvement and self-development videos.
- Steemit : I will soon blog on these topics using my own experiences and pharmacy background
- Traveling the world in search for the best content to fuel my channels.
What attracts me to Steemit
Aside from the obvious : I am quite impressed by the quality of the community here : It's all about helping and being positive. A huge contrast from mainstream social medias that often become pissing contests.
Thanks to everyone for taking the time to read this. I read all comments and reply to them.
