I want to take a moment to talk about how I got to where I am now

When I started creating content, I had nothing. zip. Nada. I lived with my wife in a basement apartment and was broke. I would go and work 9-6 and then edit my YouTube videos from 7-2am. I did this for a year 1/7
I worked every single day. I studied, refined my skills. Looked to where I could improve. I was able to amass 10k subs after a year and a half

During this my wife got pregnant and 3 days before my son was born I was laid off from my job
2/7
I took a huge leap of faith and jumped to full time Youtubing at 10k subs. I worked EVERY. DAY. to make content. I studied more, read books, adapted, experimented, and began to learn. That was back in 2018. And now in 2020? We are almost 61k subs and still my full time job

I have my supporters to thank. They have helped more then I could ever say, and from the bottom of my heart I want to say thank you. You have helped me reach opportunities that I never thought possible. And I appreciate every single one of you.

4/7
But if you are struggling, and you are trying to get started, or trying to get early opportunities, please understand that it takes SO much work and dedication. Don& #39;t be discouraged. But do your research as well.

9/10 companies I work with on the channel, I approached THEM.

I spent MONTHS tracking down emails. I did research like "how to get games early" or "how to get review codes" and I figured out ways to do it. Then I sent DOZENS of emails over and over again to different people

I drove 6+ hours to conventions to meet these people in person 6/7
Only to introduce myself and hope that I could get a foot in th door. Nothing was guarenteed.

What I& #39;m trying to say is, almost nothing is handed over for free. It takes do much research and work.

Work smart AND hard.
And know how to spell so* properly XD
