Send a text message to the show!For years, the online creator community has proclaimed “Story is king! Gear doesn’t matter!” But is this doing more harm than good? Has it helped to create a new generation of creators who feel entitled to "pro" results without investing the time and money to get there?And alternate title for this episode could be “Old Man Yells at Cloud.”🎙Ready to start your own podcast?

Send a text message to the show!Do you have innate responsibilities when you have a platform/audience? Last week I talked about my goal of one day being able to generate a full time income via YouTube. This week I explain how I seem to be actively undermining that goal with my over the top ethics statement in a discussion sparked by the impossible-to-ignore gender gap in the camera/video/photo space on YouTube.Some of My Favorite Female Creators:•HeatherJustCreatehttps://youtube.com/heatherjustcreate•Fellow Filmmakerhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUqN8Ne316hhQxXus4SQelA•Gabrielle Ruddickhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyoMCKNRJHE7yzw_26s_cUA•Becki and Chrishttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIXKkzlHjD1rUPOLRfJZvrg•Felicia Smithhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0VID5nSIk6QDC65bHym7TQ•TheSnapChickhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2hubjuU7U4zIc_UpG-hFqA•Mayukohttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEDkO7wshcDZ7UZo17rPkzQ•Art with Flohttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVJ5hHQMXBiRwNv394EOj_w•Amanda Woolseyhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMvFpZt2EfFnfPHXusmmIQg•The Bite Shothttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsM3clfP0vfMFlnf2tde41A•Minnie Smallhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLcxo0ysMP27XTiRKqrdASg🎙Ready to start your own podcast?

Send a text message to the show!Let’s revisit my rebranding escapades over the past month because I think there are quite a few valuable lessons for anyone who creates and shares their work online. I was incredibly nervous to rebrand my YouTube channel, which lead down a rabbit whole of other questions. But I’ve ultimately learned a lot and now feel very excited (or should I say…enthusiastic) about where things are and where they’re heade🎙Ready to start your own podcast?

Send a text message to the show!Why does every creative endeavor need to become a money making venture? This week I wanted to dive in to some thoughts I’ve been having on why it seems that “having fun” isn’t as much of a priority on YOuTube as it used to be. Is there a way to be strategic with the content you create while also staying true to yourself and hanging on to the spark of fun that made you want to begin in the first place?And thank you to everyone who has sent me messages over the past few weeks. I apologize for the lack of episodes. My dad passed away in August right as the new school year was beginning, so it was important to take some time and focus on taking care of myself amidst all that chaos before being able to jump back into the normal flow of things.🎙Ready to start your own podcast?

Send a text message to the show!This week’s show is a journey. We’re going to talk about cameras, but that’s really just for context. More importantly, I’m going to share a creative identity crisis I’ve been dealing with that forced me to reconnect with my roots in terms of why I originally wanted to share anything with the world in the first place and how authenticity plays a key role in every part of that.🎙Ready to start your own podcast?
