Heather makes her Season 5 debut to talk all about the Passion Economy business model and how its approach can help you to earn a living doing what you love without needing astronomically high numbers of subscribers and viewers.

I also explain a bit about how this has helped to shift my perspective towards monetizing my own channel/projects without compromising on the things that are important to me.

It’s been a strange week. After one of our friends passed away unexpectedly, Heather and I have been talking about what it means to build genuine relationships with people online and the impact that can have. I wanted to share a bit about our friend Jake and also dive in to what I learned from him about the power of putting yourself out there creatively and the impact that you can have, regardless of what any numbers of analytics may say.

If you’re a YouTube Creator, keeping your channel safe should be a top priority. Not only do you need to guard yourself from hackers and other evil doers, but in recent months the YouTube platform itself has become more aggressive about suspending and deleting channels, which in some cases are not violating any terms of service. 

This week’s episode includes some practical tips for keeping your channel safe. It’s not an exhaustive or foolproof list, but it’s a good start. And I’d love to hear your thoughts, so feel free to send text, audio, or video messages to: 
[email protected]

And be sure to stick around to the end of the episode for a special video reply from last week and a surprise announcement!

Have you ever been told to "stay in your lane"? Usually it doesn't feel too great to hear that, but let's kick off Season 5 by diving into what it means to stay in your lane creatively and how it can help you ride out the emotional highs and lows that come with being creative, paying too much attention to analytics, and playing the comparison game.

We’ll call this an honorary epilogue to “The Secret Series”! Heather is back to wrap up Season 4 by taking a look at what things are like 3 months into self employment and how I’ve been approaching things (which in some cases is very different to her approach).

Hopefully this will be some helpful insight for anyone who might be working to make their side thing a full time thing.

In terms of analytics, this has been the worst month in recent memory for my YouTube channel. So this week let's talk about when you should use your analytics to make decisions about changing your content vs when to ignore it and stay the course. 

Truthfully, this ended up being a really helpful "therapy session" for me and I hope that you can glena some useful concepts from it too!

Just when you thought it was safe…the Cameranundrum continues! This week I dive in to some less than great, but still not too terrible developments with my new Sony a7SIII, explain why I currently have two of them, and also give an exhilarating backstory to explain the intense anxiety I feel around large purchases and the outlandish sentimental value I attach to these objects What a ride!

After months and months, I’ve finally decided on a new camera. The goal is to incorporate something that will add new functionality to my workflow while also playing nice with everything that’s already in place. I wanted to take some time (and it ended up being a LOT of time) to run through my decision not only to offer hopefully helpful insight, but to also shine a light on what goes into a major purchase like this. 

It’s very easy to see social media posts from people who seem to be casually spending thousands upon thousands of dollars on stuff that may or may not be necessary, and I wanted to pull back the curtain a bit, especially since this is one of the biggest purchases I’ve made in my life and the biggest financial investment I’ve made since becoming self-employed. 

Also, I just like talking about cameras .
