How should I title these podcast episodes? Gotta put my podcast on YouTube Film myself answering questions and reacting to community Serves as a form of education Title and thumbnail need to focus in on one topic tho Would drive me crazy to not put it on the main channel tho. I’ve watched videos with just people talking tho. As long as the hook is interesting and they deliver the answer I watch I feel the need for more dialog between you and I What feedback do you have on the podcast in general? Should I accept feedback in the form of voicemails? Would comments on YouTube work well for feedback? Should I spend time making educational content? I feel like mini tutorials on TikTok would work well. Basically break a full workshop into small chapters. Answer questions that people might Google. People still think I’m shooting iPhone only Tired of getting every kind of feedback on my work… talk less, talk more, more social, stop including friends, more vlogs, don’t vlog Wish I had fellow creators to talk through my problems and projects. Most of the creators that I call friends don’t really reciprocate my attempts to connect. Need help finding interesting places to go and hike Doing sponsorship differently. Trying to negotiate with better brands on larger campaigns. Basically trying harder. Have cancelled the last few integrations Where should I hike in 2024? Also kinda don’t want to ask I always seem to question how important community and feedback actually is. Should I be putting podcast episodes on YouTube? YouTube shorts becoming more important What shorts can I make on a trip? General feelings of loneliness and sadness Researched Sam Sulek’s channel Hotel in Nepal Build a website to gather interest in group hiking trips My own hikes as well as selling other people's hikes Silent hiking in New Zealand New Zealand vlog Hiking Drone montage video Favorite hikes tier list Family blog baby announcement There is so much that I could do and make great money from but I just don’t care Low incentives Sponsorships Merch Video ideas  Why has this changed over time? I don’t care what people think  Go on the trip and make the big video just to get the perfect clip Everything is for making clips because that's where discoverablity is Value in the form of user acquisition Doesn't make money Posting audio only to spotify Creating a new YouTube channel for Podcast videos Just posting podcast videos to my channel but don't call them podcast episodes Upload full horizontal videos to tiktok Factorio Space exploration video on gaming channel Podcast that speaks directly to the audience.

I need help I need collaboration I need someone to bounce ideas off Need to keep a list of videos to make Thumbnail and title grid Maybe I should just vlog on IG stories again Pewdiepie’s japan vlogs makes me want to make my own version of “home movies” https://www.youtube.com/@AlvinKZhou/videos

Cyprus trip Vlogging on iPhone Ended channel membership YouTube channel updates Uploading YouTube shorts Podcast audio-only Creator hiking trips AllTrails Strava Publish Press event New Zealand edits Upcoming videos Trips in 2024

Solo update podcast episode about past projects, current focus and future plans. Consuming feed based social media like TikTok, Instagram, Reddit and News doesn’t make me feel good. Content formats. Put guides and updates behind paywall? What do people actually find valuable with my content? Satisfying subscribers vs algorithm. Artist vs creator. Product vs art. Trying to make NYC walking video. Membership Q&A. New Zealand trip

Solo update episode from my hotel room in LA. Updates about projects, thoughts after Madeira/Cyprus, why we're moving back to NYC from Denver and general worries about making travel content these days. https://linktr.ee/kraig

Thoughts on the last few days of traveling and shooting on Madeira Island. Why does traveling alone feel weird now? Should I focus more on thru-hiking like a dirty nomad or should I embrace the luxury lol. What I plan on editing and uploading to YouTube, Instagram and TikTok. Flying to Cyprus to do it all over again starting tomorrow. Wish me luck on this all expense paid trip haha what's wrong with me.
