Creator Blog #2 | Jumpstart on YouTube

I'm extremely proud that the community has grown to 10K. But I have to admit I owe a great deal of that success to a couple of YouTube courses I took early on.The first course I took was around the time I published my fifth video. This was "The YouTube Creator Academy" by Graham Stephan....

NYC Blog #4 | Peacocks

Whoever thought you would see live peacocks that roam freely in New York City? At St. John’s Cathedral in Morningside Heights they do.

NYC Blog #1: the best happy hour oysters in NYC are still $1 each

Lately this place is hands down the best place to get happy hour oysters. This is coming from someone who is a finicky eater and never eats seafood because I grew up next to a beach and nothing ever seems fresh enough.This place is called Beast New Door located in Astoria, Queens. It's one or 2 ...

Evaluating Production Schedule

Hi Everyone. I'm re-evaluating my production schedule. My workflow hasn't been the best so I'm trying to get fully organized. Which sadly means the next video might take a bit. I don't know for sure. But once I have a solid workflow, production should be consistent.
