# What Daniel Comp's 2018 Video Teaches Asxer Owners About Meaning Beyond the Job

On 2018-04-12, Daniel Comp published "360MEN Big Crash Yields Onion Peeling" on YouTube. GB places it in Mission 4, Meaning Beyond the Job, one of five missions in the whole-library reading What 13 Years of Video Says to SI.

## What the video shows

A windsurf crash on Lake Corpus Christi brings back a near-drowning memory from when he was three or four, and Daniel teaches onion peeling on the spot: "rather than stuffing those emotional flares, take some time to consider them." The setback becomes insight on camera. It is the first live demonstration of a tool he later calls his most used.

> rather than stuffing those emotional flares, take some time to consider them.

> We've come to Lake Corpus Christi to take advantage of some thermal wind pushed from the Gulf across the state of Texas.

From the YouTube description: Daniel Comp shares about a childhood memory triggered by being slammed while windsurfing with massively gusty winds. ([full description on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rc_Z_aM0l4g))
