I'm feeling very thankful and slightly sentimental today.

While I take a small break from editing I want to make a thread thanking all the content creators that have inspired me and how they have inspired me.

@petermckinnon
One of my biggest inspirations in the content creation game.

Lessons Learned:
The sky is the limit, if you set your expectations low then you'll get low results. If you set your expectations at infinite and work towards that you'll reach heights.
@codywanner
The creator I probably resonate the most with emotionally.

Lesson Learned:
There's no stop. If you mess up or something doesn't work out, just take a break then come back stronger.
Content creation is a big thing and lessons learned is better than perfection.
@potato_jet
The creator that just feels like he's having the most fun with his content.

Lesson Learned:
Have fun, make your content "you". You might have quirks and things that you might find weird about yourself but it's all good!
Allow yourself to be you! Even a potato!
@MattiHaapoja
The creator I feel like is always happy and it makes me also feel happy!

Lesson Learned:
Help me Help you. Content creation isn't a competition and it's actually if anything more a group effort!
If you improve the person next to you also improves. Be inspiring!
@beckiandchris @DrChrisNicholas
The duo that I aspire to have a similar sort of dynamic with my significant other.

Lesson Learned:
Your image that people set up for you mean nothing!
Just be yourself.
Don't meet people's expectations, break them!
Say Fuck, Shit, Crap 🤣😂
@robertoblake
The most truthful content creator, doesn't hold back and I love it.

Lessons Learned:
There is a strategy to everything, and if you want to be successful utilize everything in your arsenal to do it.
You're the only one holding yourself back from money.
@HarrisHeller
Truly the stream doctor!

Lessons Learned
Even if an original idea doesn't work it doesn't hurt to pivot!
You can change your course of action and still be successful beyond belief!
@_terrywarfield
Probably the "best friend you need" of youtube.

Lesson Learned:
Stay passionate and driven. Continue working hard and stay hard at work!
Work ethic = what you get out of any craft!
Kick ass and stay real with the people around you.
@GeraldUndone
The camera database of YouTube

Lesson Learned:
When getting into something, do ample research. Experience is important but also understanding what you're doing and understanding how gear works also is a way to level up and can lead to new ways of creating!
@johnhilltube
Someone who I consider a best friend I've never actually met.

Lesson Learned:
Take your passions and turn them into something great and bigger than you can ever imagine.

Sometimes your dream career is already something that you might not think is possible!
@theChrisDo
Somewho who I consider a mentor and hero though I've never met him.

Lesson Learned:
Never stop, never quit.
Never take no for an answer.
Be savage, yet kind.

Being creative also includes being marketable and marketing yourself in a way that is indispensable.
@davidsocomedy
The older brother that I never had but probably needed.

Lessons Learned:
Sometimes laughing at your pain is better than feeling sorry for yourself.

Understand that laughter is a universal language and is a connection point for humans.
#funnyfatfit saved me
@LizziePeirce
One of the content creators that proves that it's possible to be both nice and not take any bullshit at the same time!

Lessons Learned:
You aren't only who you are because of who you know.

Being stern with people is not being mean to people!

Cats = amazing
@TheChrisHau
The hair goals for every male content creator, short or long.

Lessons Learned:
You can mess up a lot, do things that you might view as cringy, but in the end you're still your own brand!

Work on being creative and people will follow!
A smile speaks a million
@MAKEARTLATER
Probably the coolest youtube branding concept with an "AI" partner!

Lessons Learned:
Not making consistent content is better if you're willing to work on quality over quantity!

Creating amazing work that you can be proud of is more worth than overcreating!

1/“What would need to be true for you to….X”

Why is this the most powerful question you can ask when attempting to reach an agreement with another human being or organization?

A thread, co-written by @deanmbrody:


2/ First, “X” could be lots of things. Examples: What would need to be true for you to

- “Feel it's in our best interest for me to be CMO"
- “Feel that we’re in a good place as a company”
- “Feel that we’re on the same page”
- “Feel that we both got what we wanted from this deal

3/ Normally, we aren’t that direct. Example from startup/VC land:

Founders leave VC meetings thinking that every VC will invest, but they rarely do.

Worse over, the founders don’t know what they need to do in order to be fundable.

4/ So why should you ask the magic Q?

To get clarity.

You want to know where you stand, and what it takes to get what you want in a way that also gets them what they want.

It also holds them (mentally) accountable once the thing they need becomes true.

5/ Staying in the context of soliciting investors, the question is “what would need to be true for you to want to invest (or partner with us on this journey, etc)?”

Multiple responses to this question are likely to deliver a positive result.
