My Uber Driver Masterclass

I’m an Uber driver. But this channel isn’t really just about Uber. It’s about what happens inside and outside the car. It’s about life. Every day I drive strangers around Syracuse, New York. I take them to work, to the airport, to bars, to hospitals, to first dates and breakups. And in between those rides, there’s something else: time to think. I share what I’ve learned behind the wheel: the strategies of rideshare driving, how Uber drivers actually make money, and the economics of the gig economy. I break down the realities of driving for Uber, but I also dive deeper into the realities of humanity… at least from an Uber driver’s perspective. Driving gave me something most jobs don’t: the chance to get my mind back. So this channel is part data, part experiment, and part reflection from the driver’s seat. Where are drivers -- and the future of work -- going next?
