Building a YouTube Channel from Scratch

The journey of launching a YouTube channel can start from a simple idea of sharing passion with others. In the case of a sports card podcast, the creators initially recorded episodes using basic tools like Zoom, ultimately realizing the need to transition to video to cater to their audience's preferences.
