  This dude sounds like one of the better audible narrators, but completely unscripted. <br>Impressed.

  Yea Caesar certainly didnt &quot;waste&quot; his 20s, he went to Rhodos to study oratory and rhetoric under the renowned Apollonius Molon, he gained military experience during the Siege of Mytilene and earned the highest military decoration, the civic crown, 20 years of age, he refined his rhetoric and oratory practicing as a prosecutor, through which he made a name for himself and expanded his network, Caesar&apos;s work ethic and focus were insane, unfathomable for todays tiktok generation
