Update after Baby Announcement
How should I title these podcast episodes?
Gotta put my podcast on YouTube
Film myself answering questions and reacting to community
Serves as a form of education
Title and thumbnail need to focus in on one topic tho
Would drive me crazy to not put it on the main channel tho. I’ve watched videos with just people talking tho. As long as the hook is interesting and they deliver the answer I watch
I feel the need for more dialog between you and I
What feedback do you have on the podcast in general? Should I accept feedback in the form of voicemails? Would comments on YouTube work well for feedback?
Should I spend time making educational content?
I feel like mini tutorials on TikTok would work well. Basically break a full workshop into small chapters. Answer questions that people might Google.
People still think I’m shooting iPhone only
Tired of getting every kind of feedback on my work… talk less, talk more, more social, stop including friends, more vlogs, don’t vlog
Wish I had fellow creators to talk through my problems and projects. Most of the creators that I call friends don’t really reciprocate my attempts to connect.
Need help finding interesting places to go and hike
Doing sponsorship differently.
Trying to negotiate with better brands on larger campaigns. Basically trying harder.
Have cancelled the last few integrations
Where should I hike in 2024?
Also kinda don’t want to ask
I always seem to question how important community and feedback actually is.
Should I be putting podcast episodes on YouTube?
YouTube shorts becoming more important
What shorts can I make on a trip?
General feelings of loneliness and sadness
Researched Sam Sulek’s channel
Hotel in Nepal
Build a website to gather interest in group hiking trips
My own hikes as well as selling other people's hikes
Silent hiking in New Zealand
New Zealand vlog
Hiking Drone montage video
Favorite hikes tier list
Family blog baby announcement
There is so much that I could do and make great money from but I just don’t care
Low incentives
Sponsorships
Merch
Video ideas
Why has this changed over time?
I don’t care what people think
Go on the trip and make the big video just to get the perfect clip
Everything is for making clips because that's where discoverablity is
Value in the form of user acquisition
Doesn't make money
Posting audio only to spotify
Creating a new YouTube channel for Podcast videos
Just posting podcast videos to my channel but don't call them podcast episodes
Upload full horizontal videos to tiktok
Factorio Space exploration video on gaming channel
Podcast that speaks directly to the audience. Private phone call

Something about Julien2 makes me still interested in trying it out
Why do I feel so unfulfilled?
I need help
I need collaboration
I need someone to bounce ideas off
Need to keep a list of videos to make
Thumbnail and title grid
Maybe I should just vlog on IG stories again
Pewdiepie’s japan vlogs makes me want to make my own version of “home movies”
