    This has taken me 5+ years and thousands of videos to get to this point. So if you're looking for a shortcut on how to do this, this is not the video for you.

  9. Ep. 153 | Creating to document life > feeding an algorithm

    When I started creating content back in 2018, I started to simply document my life. To document what I was doing, what I was trying to build, what I was learning, and to be able to look back and see my growth over time. It wasn't to become an "influencer", it wasn't to get brand deals, none of…

  10. Ep. 152 | What I learned from 90 podcasts in 90 days

  14. Ep. 148 | Why you don't need a "NICHE" to grow

    You are told by every other "influencer" or "social media guru" out there that you need to pick your niche. Stick to one thing. Don't talk about anything else. Well, that's BS. Because life is multifaceted and so should your content. Hope you enjoy this week's episode and stay tuned for new...

  21. Ep. 141 | Why betting on YOURSELF first will change your life

    Would you rather have a stock of Amazon ($3000+) or a DSLR Camera ($900)? In late 2018, I was thinking of either buying Amazon stock for around $1000/share or a new camera. Obviously, a camera is a depreciating asset. Amazon? Not so much. But the decision was deeper than a stock vs a camera. It…

  22. Ep. 140 | Why the education system creates workers, NOT thinkers

    High end public speakers get paid $100k+/hour for their time. Why? Because people actually learn something from them. That compared to the education system where teachers read out of a textbook and teach from a powerpoint made 10 years ago making $40k/year. See the difference? "I don't want a...
