German in Venice -- Try Not to Love the Guy

Summary

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how easily I get attached to people—whether it’s someone I work with, someone in my personal life, or even someone I follow on YouTube. I made a video yesterday about this at a railroad crossing in Simi Valley while waiting for a train that basically ghosted me, but today I want to dive deeper into a specific example that really illustrates this point: German in Venice.

I stumbled across German’s Skid Row videos a while back, but I didn’t really start following his journey until after Adam the Woo passed away. Since then, I’ve been watching this guy’s story unfold—a dude who came to California with dreams of becoming the next Arnold Schwarzenegger, hustled on Venice Beach as a bodybuilder, and somehow ended up building a massive following of hundreds of thousands of people who genuinely care about what he’s doing. People have literally flown in from Europe just to take him to dinner. It’s wild.

What gets me about German’s story is how authentic and inspiring it is. If you haven’t watched his content, I’m telling you right now—go find the video where he goes back to Germany. Watch it and then try not to fall in love with the guy. I dare you. It’s one of those rare internet stories that actually restores your faith in people and the power of genuine human connection.
