The Real Reason I quit Corporate and started Guitar Youtube

The Minister has spoken. We needed a channel like this.

When I worked in Big Pharma, I had a lot of discretionary income available to buy guitars with, but never enough time to play them as much as I wanted to, of course. As soon as you mentioned the guitar street in Tokyo near where you worked half of each month, I knew you were going to end up, like me, with at least 50 guitars. I was stuck in an office in Wilmington, Delaware, though, so my guitars were mostly purchased from Ebay. The corporate world is mercenary and merciless, glad you found a path to greater happiness and freedom, Utkarsh. I appreciate the insight and hard-won wisdom that you kindly share on this platform.

As an Indian guitar player myself, it's so great to see someone belonging from my country start a channel like this. Your thoughts are always very insightful to listen to. I'm glad you moved away from that life towards doing something that actually makes you happy. Onwards and upwards

Thank you for creating this channel; I learned much from you about corporate life and guitar. I couldn't agree more on the lesson you shared.

Very mature and down to earth. I wish you all the best with the future plans.

The life coach I need. Conquers the corporate machine and unapologetically uses all the financial gains to buy guitars. This is a man that aligns with my values haha. And. . .He’s so successful at whatever he does that he turned buying guitars into an avenue to drop the dependency on a corporate job, and is growing every day on YouTube. Hats off to MinistryOfGuitar. A true boss of life 💪💪💪💪

The moment you said you’ll be assigned to Tokyo …… guitar street came to my head and the rest is history.

Continue to love what you’re doing on your channel. Keep it up my friend 👍

Best vibes bro,, thank you...

Thanks for putting this out. Really appreciate the honesty and transparency here. Gives me lots of hope atleast for maybe trying to do something in music during this life time

I've really enjoyed watching your channel over the last few months. I was doing some thinking, and I realized it's because you were successful before Youtube, and not because of Youtube. Unfortunately the "big guys" in guitar Youtube pretty much end up being ad space for companies. Maybe that will be you someday, especially if you want to do this at the highest level possible, but I'm really enjoying your narrative driven videos.

Wish you much success and think you are putting out good content ✌🏽👍🏽

Great vid. Excellently put.

I really love this blend between your background in business and guitar and how they tie together...I also agree, the company you work for is always looking out for itself first and foremost, not you; regardless of what they say. Always remember to take care of yourself first!

Interesting share. Lots to reflect and curious where this is going.

The number of guitars you need is always x+1, while x is the number of guitars you already have 😎. Great story, great channel, thank you for all your work!!

Really enjoyed listening to your story and your journey (so far). Thanks for posting!

SUBSCRIBED: Your videos feed my mind and that feeds my soul. Thank you!

great to see your channel going so well. Been watching since about 3k I think. very good mate, I'll have to send you one of my guitars when I have some prototypes built XD

Utkarsh, with your love of guitars you should consider doing something in guitar industry. I have an idea for you - American music retailer Sam Ash was just sold to a new owner following bankruptcy. Sam Ash was founded 100 years ago, however it has been slow adapting to online selling, which was a major factor in their decline. I'd assume new owners would want to focus on online business. With your experience managing brands you'd be a perfect person to help them turn the company around!
