Your first year on YouTube is overwhelming, but because most people focus on the wrong things. I know, because I went all in on YouTube last year, it taught me a lot… and it completely changed my life. In this video, I’m sharing what actually mattered in my first year on YouTube, without hacks, shortcuts, or fake promises.

This is for you if you’re just starting YouTube (or thinking about it) and feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure why it feels harder than you expected. I talk about focus, ideas, storytelling, fear, and how to keep going when motivation drops, the things that genuinely make the difference between quitting and growing in a way that feels sustainable and true to you.
