Description:
Welcome to episode #126 of my podcast where I delve into my latest adventure – launching a new YouTube series. This isn't just about a new series; it's about trying something different and stepping out of my comfort zone. It's about the pursuit of impactful content, the need for success to extend reach, and balancing the technicalities of optimization with the heart of content value.
In this episode, I pull back the curtain on the process of producing the series – from leveraging AI tools for scripting, refining ideas with personal research, to experimenting with recording techniques. Unlike my previous work, where the focus was me or my guests, this time it's about other companies and their fascinating stories. From global giants like Netflix and Amazon to smaller enterprises, we'll dive into what makes them unique.
Taking a step back, I also reflect on the broader context of running my business while venturing into this new territory. As you listen, you'll understand that it's not just about the end product but also the journey – the learning, the courage, the willingness to stumble, and the constant pursuit of growth. Remember, it’s not just about me, but you as well – how can you step out of your comfort zone? How can you take action today? Join me on this journey of exploration and innovation. Until next time, peace.
