After releasing last week's episode I found myself in a place where I had lost my identity as a content creator. As result I was pretty down about the everything and really had to dig into why I wanted to be a creator in the first place. You can sort of consider this the first episode of me finding my way back to being excited about being a creator again.

At the end of last year I went full time as a creator. Since then I have struggle with trying to identify my niche. It doesn't matter what I do, I alway find that who I am is so much more than my niche, so I can never stay happy with the content I am creating.

For this episode I take the hardline on why I do not like going down the "Do It Yourself" path for audio and lighting for my studio. For me the DIY approach left me more upset and disenchanted with with creating videos. It even led to me quitting creating content all together for nearly a year.  It was not until after I stopped trying to "build" the right solution and just purchased the right tool for the job that things got better.
