    Why I'm Starting to Lose Trust in the Brands I Work With

    In this week's episode of Aspiring Creator, I talk about why it increasingly feels like we're unpaid beta testers for big brands, why I think our Prime Day video flopped, and the lowball offer that made no sense.

    I Shot a TV Commercial in China

    In this week’s episode of Aspiring Creator, I talk about getting treated like a celebrity for a day on a commercial shoot in Shanghai, finding the one type of content that actually funds your channel (hint: it's not AdSense) and why we stopped posting short-form content.

    Why Posting Shorts Might Be Hurting Your Long-Form Views

    In this week’s episode of Aspiring Creator, I talk about a brand that turned a 4-page brief into 40+ pages mid-shoot, what 2 weeks of focusing on shorts actually did to my views and subs, and how I just used Claude to plan my entire video schedule through the end of 2026.

    My Last Sponsored Video Just Flopped. Hard.
