Episode Summary

So... I've started a YouTube channel!

I've wanted to start a YouTube channel since I was nine years old, so finally uploading my first video feels pretty surreal. In this episode, I talk about my long-standing love for YouTube, how the platform introduced me to motivational speeches and played a part in my personal development journey, and why I've decided to start creating my own content.

I share a motto I've recently started repeating to myself: “Fail fast, to succeed faster.” We discuss why starting sooner gives us more opportunities to learn from our mistakes, and how this mindset encourages me to take action even when circumstances aren't perfect.

My YouTube channel will focus on topics I already explore on Pose and Purpose, including personal development, fashion, motivation, and lifestyle. I'll also be bringing my YouTube videos onto the podcast, so you can listen to them here and, if you're using Spotify, watch them too!

My first YouTube video is called “You Can Change Your Life.” You can find the link below.
