dopamin spike


did my usual morning tracking

my ads, Stripe, social growth and expenses

everything was normal

except for the YouTube studios

this beautiful sight hit me

you never get tired of it..

i've uploaded 217 youtube videos

but this time felt extra special

because ever since i started creating content, i've been insecure about my english

i was born and raised in a small town in Denmark

executing 20+ minute business breakdown videos in a second language wasn't on my bingocard 10 years ago

but with enough practice

word for word scripts

and lots of preparation

i've made 217 youtube videos

but this video in particular was really special to me

because it was recorded in public

more specifically

a cafe in Milano

it was me and Tobi, a notebook, few cups of coffees and a double cam setup

the local Italians were very confused

me too

i've never done these more interactive in-person videos because i was too afraid of looking stupid and falling over the words

but i was tired of holding myself back

tired of not following my dream of following my creative flow

so i did it

and seeing the video live and done made me really proud

i think it's the best i've ever made

im probably biased

youtube gave it a 1 out of 10

personally

i give it a 1 out of 217

follow your dreams!

best
