Missing Pieces

I discuss my quiet week here on the channel and what I've been up to,  upgrading my internet, the weather improving, my week in gaming, LEGO  I've purchased and improvements I am making in my health.

I follow up on the past few weeks episodes with more clarity after lots of pondering and taking your feedback to heart. NOTE: The audio gets pretty bad at the 26 minute mark.  I'm not sure what happened there.  It's a difficult listen and I was going to just cut the episode there, but if you want to listen through it, it's there.  Sorry about that!

I follow up on the burnout discussion from last week and discuss some  changes I've made this week to help manage my time better.  I revisit  the polls that I did this week asking you what you want to see from my  channel and my content strategy moving forward including the future of  this podcast.

I discuss how I might be getting burnt out, why you get clickbaited on  YouTube, the concept of LEGO being the vehicle and not the destination, a  new way I am doing my gaming streams, and how I am enjoying the same  video content as Clark and how much fun that is.

I discuss my new camera equipment, a YouTuber's worst fear, baritect  problems, how I got hurt, Clark's first lost tooth, my quest for the  perfect gaming headset, moving to Twitch, and something fun we are  planning for next weekend.

I discuss all the things that went well and not so well this week along  with what turned into a really fun day and challenge.  We also discuss  listener feedback and I offer some life advice.

I discuss the importance of keeping an open mind regarding your opinions, the things that motivate us, my thoughts on opening  collectibles, my problem with YouTube recommendations, the end of snow days, and what I am trying to eliminate from my vocabulary.  We also say goodbye to baritect before going into listener feedback.

I discuss our Marvel watchathon and how my enjoyment of the films is  leading me to wanting to collect LEGO Marvel sets and especially  minifigures.  I ponder whether it makes more sense to buy expensive  minifigs or entire sets.  I mention something I ran into on Bricklink  this week, a website I am starting to get addicted to.  I wrap the show  up with a conversation on motivation and of course share listener  feedback.

I discuss the possibility of an extended intro, my thoughts on Ninjago  City Gardens, my favorite video of the week, Clark's music career, being  a morning person and productivity.  I also reveal my newest LEGO  purchase, give a studio update, and discuss what I've been watching and  what series I plan to watch in the coming weeks.  Also, Clark gets in  trouble for gaming.

I discuss how I have been enjoying the storytelling aspect of making videos and getting my 2021 goal of organization started.  I talk about my week of early morning streams and how important they are to me and possibly to others while at the same time realizing it's not the right place to do my dream streams, but also realizing that I am already doing those streams, just not on YouTube.  I also share listener feedback on box storage and what it is to truly live life.
