    Is it better to have different niches of content on the same channel or have different channels for each niche?

    The age long question for people who can't figure out what they want to do.. Is it better to have different niches of content all on one single channel? Or is it better to have different channels for each category? I personally think it's best to have a single channel where you focus on the same topic or a couple of subjects that are closely related.

    Realities of living in a developing country as an American, James Webb Space Telescope, Johnny Depp Court Case

    In this episode I speak about the harsh realities that social media has engraved in our heads about how living in a developing country can be considered a better and more simpler life as somebody that comes from a richer country. I think this is true in some ways as well as false - the reality is that people are looking to leave certain countries for a reason and expats who come there thinking life will be perfect and an 'Instagram' type life will either love it - or come to grips with the harsh realities that it might not be for them. I also speak about the James Webb Space Telescope and its first images that are coming soon. The Johnny Depp Court Case just ended and I touch base on that as well.

    In this episode I talk about what has been going on with my sleep health and how I will be getting my Deviated Nasal Septum surgery. Overall health is very important to being a professional or entrepreneur. Most social media personalities or 'Influencers' maintain topnotch health. If you are scared of the doctor I highly suggest you make a commitment to go get yourself checked out and work on any issue you may have with your health that could be affecting your performance in other aspects of your life. If our health and sleep are not on point - neither will our dreams and aspirations.

    This is the welcome back episode to the Traveling Content Creator Podcast! In this episode I outline my goals and expectations for what I want after a long hiatus from content creation and reflection on what has worked and what hasn't worked over time for me. I have an issue where I'm constantly switching up what I want to do and what kind of content to make. A simple fix for this is to go full on into a podcast. Discuss all of the topics I enjoy talking about and the things that bring me joy instead of the things that simply don't bring me joy. This is my passion and I've come too far to turn around now.
