For the first podcast in over 2 years, we're covering my biggest mistake on YouTube so far. We'll be deep-diving into the most essential YouTube mistakes you need to avoid, how algorithmic/retention editing f**ked me up and the countless ways your ego will try and sabotage you in your creative endeavours.
We'll cover creative ego, quality vs. quantity, why the "big 3" took so long, the future of my YouTube channels, my failed leap of faith with consulting + content, doing what's required, energetic alignment, the power of getting to peace within your creative projects, and a whole lot more.
So excited to be back. Subscribe if you're new and into self-improvement and truth-seeking.
