Man the quality of your vids are crazy. Would love to hear you on a podcast and how you've been able to be so consistent over the years. Business, content, creativity, value, quality, video editing, all of that stuff is on that Karl Conrad, Justin Tse, MKBHD level
I"ve recently purchased The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel and I can't wait to begin. I've read half of the books that you've mentioned in your video, and they're all outstanding books. 👍
Hey dude, could you make a video on how one can establish themself as a 'brand' or like market themselves? For me, I have multiple skills such as graphic design, video editing, web development, python, JS, etc. that I can provide to people as a freelancer. Everyone I've done [unpaid] work for always appreciates and praises my work and my work ethic, but I really struggle with getting paying clients or asking someone to pay me for my work. I suffer from self-doubt, a lot. I just don't know how to go about charging people for the work I do for them.. or getting people who are willing to pay for the services I can provide. Is there a way to establish yourself as a brand or freelancer in the market, specially without showing your face as I'm super shy..
