Why do I get up every day and decide to make a post or video? I sometimes think what if I just STOP completely. Delete my accounts, deactivate, or simply just go offline. I mean that would be nice right?

Not just a vacation from the internet, but going a "gray man" and going incognito in real life. Sounds delightful in a way.

However, the premise of me making content is to reach out into the world. Prior to the 90's the way of reaching a global audience was to become a movie star, radio host, politician, author, etc. Perhaps all of the above technically in order to reach everyone.

The way I view content is simply and evolution of that dynamic. Books are now blogs (still books but mostly digital now), radio hosts are now podcasters, and tv/movie stars are now youtubers/streamers.

The old content is still around, i.e. books or movies, but they fall under a different level of interactivity with the world. I have plans for my life, let alone for the world, that I cannot accomplish if I don't become a better version of myself.

Honestly the best way for me to grow is to show that growth over time WITH content, i.e. Gary Vee's documentation philosophy. Thus more and more people can see who I really am.

It isn't about fame for the sake of fame. I don't need money besides to survive, and while I would definitely enjoy adoring fans if I'm being honest. That isn't the goal either.

Sometimes I think about if I were to just off the grid, and I bet I could do it well too. Alternatively, what I would do with my life if I wasn't a content creator.

I mean I work my "day jobs" simply so I can afford to go home and make content, that is literally my intrinsic motivation. I thought what if I had become a doctor, or still could if I dedicated myself to it.

What if I did "X" or "Y", and in the end my brain still ends up being a creator in some way. I would write a book if I was a doctor. I would start a youtube channel if I was an actor. If anything my natural inclination towards opportunities would not allow me to ignore the promise of growth that content allows.

You could be a "nobody" one day, and the next you could go viral overnight. The power of content is immense right now.

Now while yes the saturation is increasing at an exponential rate, and you will have more and more competition as more countries around the world join in to the modern content production ecosystem.

There will always be opportunities if you know where to look.

While I've grown slower I think than even most at my skill level. Part of that is due to my love of 🧮 Polymathy. Which in of itself is not a fast growing niche, at least not at this point in time in the digital renaissance.

Why do I make content?

Simply because it is the best way for me to share all of that is inside my head. I'm constantly swirling around ideas. Taking in new ideas from others, ai, or somewhere.

I don't even use AI much simply because I have too much to say already. I don't need or want the AI to fill in blanks for me because that is what I like to do.

There is something I make for everyone I know it, and that is why I Love how wide ranging the topics are on my site here.

Please I encourage you to explore.
