Transcript excerpt

The last thirty days I've gained close to 4,000 followers and people like Alex Homosi, Tier Bartlett, Ava from Personal Brand Launch, Dane Walker and Jarks Grief have all started seeing my content. And I know 4,000 followers isn't huge but what I'm really excited about is that the right people are finally starting to see my content. I've been creating content for over two years rank when I first started, my videos were hyper edited. They were heavily scripted. I was using a teleprompter and they were getting some views. But most of the people who ended up following me were just video editors and that is not who I was trying to build a brand for. What has changed is that I got way more intentional with who I am creating for, what I genuinely wanna talk about, and what I believe in strongly enough to keep repeating. Because I don't actually wanna go viral for a copied format that I just found and recreated. I would much rather go viral for a belief that I hold or a story that only I can genuinely tell. So I care a lot less about how many people that my content actually reaches. What I do care about is who it reaches, what they know me for, and why they decide to stick around.
