Survival Skills Podcas‪t‬ Grey Jabesi

On October 24th, 2020, my YouTube channel Hardcore Crypto was mistakenly terminated by YouTube for violating community guidelines. The channel is the largest Cryptocurrency channel in Africa and loved by many.
One would hope that YouTube would help content creators in this kind of situation but it turns out that they don't care. I've appealed and reached out on Twitter and got no help. Imagine years of work wiped out in a whim for no reason. Just like that. The sad part is that YouTube will never assign a human being to attend to your appeals or complaints, they force you to deal with robots.
The mistake I made was overleveraging myself by trusting a third party to host my content. This is a major flaw when using media as leverage online.
In this episode, I use this story as an example to discuss the concept of leverage online.

As the world is coming out of lockdowns and economies are opening up after months of so much uncertainty and severe economic contraction.
The coronavirus has destroyed lives, wealth, and opportunities which have left none of us unaffected. It's a new world now, the normal is demanding a change in how we approach all aspects of our daily life and this is no easy task for beings who are conditioned for a certain way of living. Most are hurt, fearful, uncertain, or confused.
I decided to catch up with my friend Llewellyn Devereaux, an author and entrepreneur to find out how he coped during these difficult times. I reached out to Lui not only because he has a company which was directly impacted by the lockdown, but also because he is a high energy individual who always has an interesting way of looking at life. 
We recorded a series of short episodes focusing on tools we can use to not only survive this season but to thrive too. 
Lui recently published his book; The Mastery Code which you can find here.

Since I started The Survival Skills Podcast 5 years ago and it has been a great success. I became very used to the process of creating to the point that I forgot how much of a challenge it was to start because I had no idea. I did not know how or what equipment, hosting, editing software or distribution to use. 
In this episode, I share the tools I recommend for you to get started with nearly zero budget.
