Episode notes
Publish One Long Video Weekly
- Upload one long-form YouTube video every week to build automated trust and discovery.
- Consistency lets viewers 'hang out' with you and turns know-like-trust into business opportunities.
Anchor Your Why To Someone Else

- Make your output controllable (weekly uploads), not dependent on outcomes you can't control.
