Deep Questions with Cal Newport

NOTE

**You don’t want to go viral on your first video **

The advice is to not aim for your first video to go viral, but rather your 100th video, as it allows for a backlog of content for viewers to engage with. The key principle is to do a thing a hundred times to get good at it. By making 100 videos and gradually improving each time, the creator aimed to lower the bar and not be perfectionistic. The goal was to learn how to make videos before creating a potential viral 'banger' on studying for exams, which was intentionally reserved for the 100th video.
