It really is a shame isn't it?
When you think about it deep down?
If the dude is a rockstar at the task, but has the personality of a cardboard box, that's one thing.
But also, you get guys like me or others who are a bit more vocal, you can usually get those guys going a bit and help carry to get the message out.
Just as long as its genuine and not fake, it carries far easier.
I used to really want to do stuff with others though, but with how self centered a lot of youtubers are with their channels and content, .. it's just a total turn off.
I'll have better chance of being in a video for the youtuber I work for than ever actually doing a disc golf collab video.
And after 4 years of working for this guy as his cameraman and basically everything. I've not been in a single video.
There is one time you can see me in the background so out of focus I look like a blob while I'm working with the high speed camera.
I've filmed multiple other people on his video's with him, but I've never asked or been asked to be in his video.
Which. is also only partly true. My hands are in his video's sometimes. hahaha
But still.
I'm a nobody in that world.
And I can do collabs with other youtubers fairly easy.
like monday.
Where I did a podcast for an hour and.. omg, I overdid the whisky. good god that was bad. I'm not that young anymore.
Disc golf podcasts?
Nope.
I think that was part of the really cool thing with Dirty Jobs. Speaking that were kind of into embarrassing ourselves for the sake of education and learning.
Mike actively embarrassed himself as he learned over and over again all these peoples talents and knowledge.
We have to approach our passions like that. And when we shed the skin of embarrassment, we can grow. Because it really is what holds us back.
A short form from a conversation long ago about intelligence vs non intelligent people.
You dont have to be intelligent to be successful. Intelligent people generally are less successful because we dont want to take as big of risks.
People who are just not embarrassed or dont really have the thought process to be embarrassed can be so good at things because the last thing on their mind is what others think about how thy are doing it.
I'm not a huge risk taker myself. My brain doesn't like to jump in both feet.
Sorry for the pep talk thread hyjack, but its brychanus's fault with what he said. =)
Though, you'd not honestly strike me as a person who would be easily embarrassed based on how openly you talk and what not.
You are right, after some self-growth over the years, I am not easily embarrassed or put high value on others ( especially strangers) think of me or what I am doing.
I do find it strange how jaded people on the inter world wide web can be as evidence by peoples comments on videos where the person is demonstrating high level of skill at something. Has the internet really jaded people that bad? Like comments on videos of my buddy, his or other people's videos of him, but the comments are a joke and crazy, trying to discount his skill or better yet they are all better players than him.
His shot is unorthodox, but it goes in, and i will say this I would bet my life and all future earnings on my buddy vs Steph Curry or Leathal Shooter in an NBA 3 point shoot out.
The key to success is loving the process, the day in day out, and being able to do the mundane boring things over and over again - that is the formula for success.
