- I messed up... big time 😅
In partnership with
Whew… gotta be honest — this one stings a little.
So I dropped a new YouTube video recently. I’d done all the usual stuff — script, record, edit, export, upload, publish… good to go, right?
Well… turns out the export was corrupted.
And I didn't catch it. 😬
It wasn’t until the video was already live on YouTube that I decided to watch it back.
And there it was — a few big ol' red Xs just sitting there where the footage was supposed to be.
Facepalm moment.

I talk a lot about how to grow on YouTube, how to do it right… and here I am releasing a video with chunks of it literally missing. Super embarrassing.
But hey — I want you to hear this from me:
Even the people teaching this stuff mess up.
And that’s okay.
It’s impossible to get it all perfect, all the time.
We're human. We miss things.
Sometimes we’re moving fast. Sometimes we’re tired. Sometimes we’re just juggling too much.
What matters is this:
✅ You showed up.
✅ You made something.
✅ You published it.
That’s more than 99% of people will ever do.
So here's the lesson I’m walking away with:
Always skim the export before uploading.
But more importantly…
Imperfect action beats perfect inaction — every single time.
Keep creating. Keep learning. Keep moving.
You’ve got this.

P.S. Yes, I re-exported the video. And yes, it’s live again — with actual footage this time 😅
