Episode notes
Sold Businesses To Hunt Full Time
- Kurt sold or closed his businesses at 40 to chase remote hunting adventures and document them on YouTube.
- He calls it a midlife adjustment and used YouTube to share and monetize those expeditions through storytelling.
Increase Volume To Get Faster Reps
- Do increase your content volume to accelerate learning and skill development rather than only chasing views.
- Kurt emphasizes reps: more videos let you iterate faster on editing, filming, and audience response despite early negative feedback.
Hire Crew To Increase Output
- Delegate filming and editing to scale production while you maintain quality; hire videographers and editors for stacked releases.
- Kurt schedules multiple hunts with paid videographers and plans edits so releases can be regular despite long edit times.
