Thanks for talking to us. I appreciate you spent the time. I have brain injury so I can’t talk for even 5 minutes straight. But I speak one sentence at a time, listen back, then redo it or click save. It would amaze people if I told them my one minute video takes hours. 😂 However , no regrets on spending time to learn and try. And I’ve made a few friends along the way.

He shoots most of his livestreams on his lunch break, from his phone, in his car. He is undeniable proof that where there's a will there's a way. Rock on, UE!

I think his channel also works with his style, brand, and personality. He is extremely authentic and that is what people want. If he did the exact same videos in his car discussing fine art, I’m not sure it would work. But he is blue collar, honest, and sharing his truth. It is perfect for his niche. I am glad he is doing so well. And based on his habits it shows you need no formal education. He has put in 15 years of personal research. That means he can comment on any subject related to the economy. Love it!

Just recently got back on track uploading and making simple basic videos again. I’m starting slow, just in my car, on my phone, and I’m not worried about likes or views or if my videos are interesting. It’s not the point! Point is to just do it and enjoy! Facing the fear!!

But I think editing doesn't really matter that much anyway on a video of average length that is about a subject that is important to viewers at the moment. Sure, if the videos are 10 minutes or longer, and you have a too many "umms", bloopers, and the first 5 minutes you just amble-on about nothing, etc., then you NEED to edit those out because they just add extra unproductive time to your video and will slow it down. Depending upon whether you record your video with an organized plan or not can make a difference on how watchable it is also. Some channel creators just do not have a clue about planning their video, and they just yap aimlessly and the video is painfully longer than it needs to be because they are so unfocused in their delivery. They ramble on a bit before they ever get to the subject of the video, and then interject side info about unrelated things that ends up being a distraction and makes the video unnecessarily longer than it needs to be.

Yup, I recently said in one of my videos that even though an old video seems to be gaining traction and the expert opinion is to 'double down' on that type of video, I WILL NOT, because I'm no longer into that type of content and I don't want to just do something to please the algorithm or audience, unless I wholeheartedly want to pour my energy into it. Will I miss out on potential faster growth on my channel? Perhaps, but I'd be not true to myself or my own current passions. People change...passions can change/shift and I still have to like myself by the end of the day.
