My Last Sponsored Video Just Flopped. Hard.

In this week’s episode of Aspiring Creator, I talk about saving a tanking video by retitling it within 24 hours, losing creative control on a sponsored deal that completely killed it, and whether Claude is about to gut the SaaS industry. If you're building a creator business and want the unpolished version of what's working (and what's not), this one's for you.
