Sharing some personal thoughts about being a content creator and the audience, which is you.

Time to talk about a needed refresh, or is it a rebrand? New name but still kinda the same type of focus.

Creating content is hard enough without filling our heads with lies that keep us from creating. In this episode, I'll share the 5 biggest lies I hear, and have struggled with, and advice to bust thru the lies and get back to creating.

Another milestone on YouTube which got me thinking…time to have a real talk about growing on YouTube. Sharing my highlights and some lessons learned too.

I had someone ask me "how do you define success?" Great question. Here's my take. Would love to hear from you - leave a voice message and share your thoughts. Might even use it in a future episode.

Thanks for listening.

If you've ever been in a creative rut, hope this short story about C.S. Lewis inspires you to just create.



By the way, really encourage you to read "Called To Create" by Jordon Raynor. Definitely life-changing.

Thanks for listening.

Not to be confused with "get owned" rather talking about owning your own domain and URLs for your business and personal brand.



If you're listening on Anchor, leave me a voice message with a comment or question.

Watch the video on Spotify.

Thanks for listening.

TikTok has become one of the most popular social media apps even overtaking Google as the most popular website. But is it any good?
