Hello my name is Tom
Hello my name is Tom
I’m a best-selling author and YouTuber exploring modern work culture and the idea of wage slavery.
I started my YouTube channel on January 1, 2020, as a way to process a growing discomfort with work. From my very first day in the workforce, something about it felt off... like I was being used in a system I didn’t fully understand.
So I started talking about it.
What began as something personal slowly resonated with others. Over time, those reflections turned into a body of work and in 2026, the channel grew to over 100,000 subscribers.
In January 2025, I took the next step and built a business around my content, launching a webshop and developing the YouTuber Success Blueprint.
My goal is to help people find a way out of wage slavery by building something of their own. I try to lead by example, experimenting with income streams outside the traditional 9-to-5, and documenting what actually works.
What I found is that it’s often simpler than it seems.
In 2025, I wrote two books that became best sellers internationally.
The Brutal Truth About Work (best seller in the US, Canada, Germany, France, and the UK) explores why so many people feel trapped in modern work—and questions the assumptions we’ve been taught about success, money, and stability.
The Dark History of Work (best seller in the US, Canada, Belgium, and Sweden) traces how work evolved into a system of dependency, from the Enclosure Acts in England to the structures that still shape modern labor today.
I’ve also created a free tutorial where I break down all of my passive income streams.
Through my videos, I explore the 9-to-5 system, economic incentives, and the social expectations surrounding careers.
I’m less interested in offering quick solutions, and more interested in asking questions most people never stop to consider.
I don’t want to build a large company or scale endlessly. I prefer a simple, one-person business built around something I care about.
For me, the goal is independence, not growth for its own sake.
To decide how I spend my time.
To work when I choose to.
And to have more time with my wife and our dog, not less.
The explosive sequel to the Amazon bestseller "The Brutal Truth About Work"
In The Dark History of Work, I dig deeper into the hidden story of how humanity was systematically transformed from free communities into wage-dependent populations. This isn't the sanitized history taught in schools.
From the 1773 Enclosure Acts that legally stole common lands in England, to Henry Ford's calculated "generosity" with the 40-hour workweek, to today's AI surveillance systems that monitor your every keystroke. this book reveals how each generation of control became more sophisticated while remaining invisible to those trapped within it.
You'll discover the shocking connections between ancient ritual patterns and modern work schedules, the secret elite forums where your economic future is decided without your input, and the emerging biotech systems that could make resistance literally impossible.
