The Honest Truth About YouTube & Real Life

Join me for a raw, honest beach walk where I talk about why I always wear caps (yep, hair loss plays its part!) and why channels like this often don’t succeed in today’s YouTube world.

With everyone’s time more precious than ever, attention spans are shrinking—and that reality is worth discussing. This isn’t about chasing viral hits; it’s about sharing real life, real thoughts, and walking through the truths we often avoid.

Whether you’re dealing with confidence, content creation, or just the pressure of modern life, I think you’ll find something here to reflect on.
