Creator's Key Takeaways

we literally turn the camera around we looked at it we don't rehearse things we don't have a set of notes we don't have a whole cheat sheet of things we need to say we just say in the moment what we're thinking

the single biggest thing you can do to get the most engagement from your viewers answer the comments that they send

you need to get out there you need to do your first 50 videos first 50 do 50 videos they said once you do 50 videos you'll start to have an idea of what you want to do

we've met such wonderful lifelong friends that um yeah again I'll go back to you do something that you're uncomfortable with and you get the most you can get the most wonderful rewards
