Brad wants to get back into podcasting and creating a YouTube channel, so we sat down for a quick chat.

Community Building and Interaction: We discussed the importance of building a community around your content. I break down the shift in YouTube towards edutainment (educational entertainment) and how this has created opportunities for deeper connections with audiences, transcending geographical barriers.

Simplicity and Authenticity: The interview also highlighted the value of simplicity in technical setups and authenticity in content creation. I discussed not overcomplicating the technical aspects and stressing that genuine content can be more impactful even when delivered with minimal equipment.

Impact of Storytelling: The discussion underlines the importance of personal storytelling in creating engaging content. Regardless of the subject, whether technology, personal experiences, or even niche topics, telling one’s story can resonate with and impact others.

It's about embracing the latest technology and understanding the timeless value of storytelling and genuine connections.
