For Creatives Who Feel Lost

Just Turned 30 early last month and I had a little bit of an identity crisis of what to do with myself. I don’t know man, 30 just hits different. So I spent a few weeks putting my thoughts into words and poured my heart into this little film. Hope you enjoy it

This isn’t what my content usually looks like but honestly it feels good to make something for me:

These are a few thoughts and principles I wish I knew when I first started down this career. Hopefully this helps if you’re trying to figuring out how to stay balanced through the rollercoaster that is being a freelance artist

[samyankie]

Bros the most under-rated creative on YT!

[fethionurnaldemir]

He is not a lazy YouTuber. Most of them sitting in there Office And talking to the camera

[arofawaz]

The way you maintained the same levels of sound quality is insane fr

I am a 31-year-old dude trying to start my YouTube channel! Do I know what I doing? Hell no! Do I compare myself with other people? All the time! But I'm trying to stay true to myself and do things my way. To make things worse, English is not my first language but we only fail when we stop trying. See you guys there.

[ronjaxn]

your editing and style is actually insane. Its like a combination of all of the best creatives on yotuube mixed into one, then you throw in your own genuine authentic energy and style. I watch A LOT of youtube channels, and you are the most impressive ive seen.

[Lordeandjt]

I don’t know how much of YouTube comments you see more than your Instagram, but I just wanted to let you know that I’ve been following you since 2019. I’ve always appreciated your willingness & openness to help other creatives from all walks of life. Personally, one of my favorite videos of yours and it holds a lot of key Gems and substance. Keep on creating brother & I pray that continue to stay blessed & that you continue to prosper in all areas King!!
