Yesterday was my last day at Linus Media Group. It's the end of one chapter in my life, and the start of another.

Thanks for all the memories, Taran. It'll never be the same here without you, but I'm so excited to see what the next chapter holds for you :') - LS

This probably won’t get seen much, but Taran helped me out with a dissertation last year. I asked the man a few questions about editing and he sent basically an entire essay’s worth of answers back - and in part thanks to him, I passed with first class honours. Thank you Taran.
-
Bruh the workculture is open and the leaving employee talks about his future plans , and that’s something I can truly admire
-
I never know what to expect with "I quit" videos, but I am really glad I watched this one. Awesome story.
-
For a man that likes his privacy, this was one hell of an honest story. Thank you Taran for everything. I wish you and your significant other the best.
-
If leaving employees are able to open up about their next steps in front of everyone, it's really clear how good a working culture they built at LTT. Wishing you best of luck!
-
It is incredibly strong for someone to admit their past struggles and poverty in front of their coworkers/peers. I wish you all the best and hope you continue to succeed in life.
-
you can tell Linus is a lovely and caring guy. It makes me appreciate the channel even more.
-
Thanks for your comments, everyone. :')

Wow! You have been such a huge part of LTT for what seems like forever now. Good luck with your future endeavours and congratulations on your engagement. :D

Says a lot about Linus that he's completely cool with (and seems to even support) one of his earliest employees taking all the skills and knowledge he's gained working there over the years to break off and start his own YouTube channel. I feel like most companies this big would've had no compete contracts and all kinds of other nonsense. LTT is a class act.

Just donated 20$ to my local foodbank. Thank you for using this as a way to get a message out to help others.

Thanks for being a driving force in how much I enjoy being a macro/ tech nerd. I’ve always enjoyed what you’ve brought to LMG, and I’m super excited to see what’s next for you!
-
What a way to go! Looking forward to your future videos. Good luck with the move and the wedding!

This hits pretty hard. My mom left me and my brother when I was 15. I moved in with some friends for a few years but after I moved out to try and start my own life. During Halloween we threw a party and invited some people from our apartment complex, one group was caught stealing a roll of toilet paper. We weren't exactly nice to them when we found out because we were also struggling financially. About a week went by and our struggles were getting worse. We finally understood how they felt. Being poor sucks and there simply isn't enough support out there for people to get out of poverty.
-
The fact they all laugh like friends eventho they are employee's is just so mindblowing to me. Love everything about them
-
This is the end of a fucking Era, holy shit. Taran was one of the employees I thought would be there at least until Linus retired. Good luck in your future endeavors, Taran. The LTT family and all us fans will be watching your successes.

Hi Taran, my editor just sent me this video and I too was an editor for a big YouTuber four years ago when I first saw your "worlds most advanced Premiere tutorial" and I will remember it and the service it did to me till the day I die! It gave me and many others something to aspire to. A demand in ones own professionality that hasn't been seen before in the YouTube-editing space. Your toiletpaper story made me tear up, please do another treehouse. Thank you and good luck!
-
I'm so happy for you. Couldn't help not shedding a tear over your story hehe. Bests of luck with your channel, your Premiere super guide helped me immensely long time ago. 🙂

I was in absolute tears. Hard times make good strong men.
