What is YOU CAN JUST DO THINGS?
YOU CAN JUST DO THINGS is a YouTube channel by entrepreneur and YouTuber Jake Tran, built around one hypothesis he is trying to prove: you can truly learn anything.
On the channel, Jake picks skills he has never done before, commits to them publicly, and documents the entire journey from complete beginner to real competitor, including the setbacks.
The channel debuted with I Tried the Most Dangerous Sport in the World, which follows Jake from never having ridden a motorcycle to competing in his first motorcycle road race just nine months later. The video has been viewed more than 599,000 times. Jake now races motorcycles competitively with the goal of competing in MotoAmerica, the top level of motorcycle road racing in the United States, in 2027.
His next challenge is singing, as he works toward becoming a performing artist.
Jake also runs the Jake Tran documentary channel, with 1.8 million subscribers, and Evil Food Supply, with 330,000 subscribers.
