Manage episode 460194449 series 3480920
Ever wondered how tackling challenges can transform your life, especially at midlife? Join me as I recount my personal journey into the world of YouTube content creation, a path I embarked on after a major career shift as I approached my 50th birthday. Inspired by Jordan Peterson’s insights on confronting difficult tasks, I open up about the ups and downs of learning new skills amidst the pressure of comparison to others who seem to achieve rapid success. This episode is a heartfelt reflection on perseverance, growth, and the determination to empower men, particularly those navigating life’s intricate challenges in their middle years.
Throughout this episode, I share the evolution of my YouTube channel over the past 20 months, a journey marked by over 70 videos and hundreds of shorts, yet a modest 532 subscribers. I grapple with the realization that only a minority surpass the 1,000-subscriber threshold, bringing perspective to my efforts. A pivotal moment was my decision to focus on empowering men, especially those feeling lost in today’s complex world. This episode unpacks the profound lessons of starting anew and embracing continual learning, emphasizing the significance of confronting challenges as opportunities for personal growth. Let’s explore how facing difficulties can carve out a legacy of support and empowerment for those we care about.
