Being an artist isn't confined to just being a painter or graphic designer. Being an artist is anything you want it to mean. I view business, snowboarding, video and podcasts as art. These are all ways I simply express myself and I think that's what defines art. Make sure to subscribe and share with a friend! Full videos on YouTube and past podcasts on audio only!

I've been having these crazy visions and manifestations late at night over the past few weeks. Visions of the future, social media, content, media brand, everything.

This has taken me 5+ years and thousands of videos to get to this point. So if you're looking for a shortcut on how to do this, this is not the video for you. I've been creating content for years, focusing on building my personal brand and giving value away for free, nothing else. Not selling anything, just creating to educate and document! This has been the first year I've started making money with my videos and in this episode I explain how! Hope you enjoy. Make sure to subscribe and share with a friend!

Welcome to new daily episodes of Documented Thoughts, a series where I do exactly that; document my thoughts. Make sure to subscribe and share with a friend if you find the episode valuable! Check out full videos on YouTube as well. For more info, go to sam.video

When I started creating content back in 2018, I started to simply document my life. To document what I was doing, what I was trying to build, what I was learning, and to be able to look back and see my growth over time. It wasn't to become an "influencer", it wasn't to get brand deals, none of that appealed to me, and they still don't. But when you play a 4-5 decade long game, it's hard to not get caught up in the short term day-to-day of creating content. In this episode, I dive into that, some struggles I've had when it comes to creating content and how I stay focused on the long term! Hope you enjoy! Let's talk! sam.video

Last year I recorded 90 podcasts in 90 days. It was a grind for sure! But thinking back to what I learned during those few months inspired me to kickstart this project again. So, welcome back to a new episode of Documented Thoughts in a brand new studio! Check out more info here: sam.video

We live in an algorithmic world and it's killing your creativity. In this episode I dive into why it's okay to take a break from creating content, how to pivot through life, and giving you guys an update on what it's like living in both LA and Milwaukee at the same time. Hope you enjoy and stay tuned for more episodes coming weekly! Check out more info here: sam.video Also my company www.blnkslatemedia.com edited this full podcast and video so check it out!

You are told by every other "influencer" or "social media guru" out there that you need to pick your niche. Stick to one thing. Don't talk about anything else. Well, that's BS. Because life is multifaceted and so should your content. Hope you enjoy this week's episode and stay tuned for new episodes dropping every Friday! Check out the full videos here: sam.video

Wow. What a week. To recap, Katy and I packed out old apartment and moved into a new apartment in less than 24 hours, the Bucks won 4 straight to become NBA Champs and we went to Game 6 in Milwaukee, and I went to Boston for a shoot. Lots of content and very little sleep. Hope you enjoy! Check out the full video here: sam.video

I had this idea the other day to make a documentary about my life and release it in 10 years while I truly document my life in the process. I've always struggled attaching myself to something bigger when it comes to creating content but this is a chance for me to do exactly that. I'll be recording segments of this podcast at different times throughout the week and putting it together in 1 weekly episode that will be podcast-vlog style. Full videos on YouTube as well!

"Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful." - Warren Buffet This podcast is all about how to thrive in chaos.

Would you rather have a stock of Amazon ($3000+) or a DSLR Camera ($900)? In late 2018, I was thinking of either buying Amazon stock for around $1000/share or a new camera. Obviously, a camera is a depreciating asset. Amazon? Not so much. But the decision was deeper than a stock vs a camera. It was betting on myself vs anyone else. If I was willing to invest $1000 into Amazon, Tesla, Apple, or any other stock, and not myself, what was that saying about the belief I had in me? I started to switch my mindset and invested every dollar from that day forward into myself and my company before investing in anyone else. As a result instead of turning $1000 to $3000, that $900 investment helped me generate 6-figures worth of new business from a simple camera. So now, is that camera still a depreciating asset? Or a gold mind?

High end public speakers get paid $100k+/hour for their time. Why? Because people actually learn something from them. That compared to the education system where teachers read out of a textbook and teach from a powerpoint made 10 years ago making $40k/year. See the difference? "I don't want a nation of thinkers, I want a nation of workers" - John D. Rockefeller 1903 The education system is old, slow, and broken. This was a quote by John D. Rockefeller, the man who funded a lot of today's education system. No wonder why those thinkers are the ones that get paid now. The ones that actually teach and push against traditional ways of society. Hope you enjoy!

In this episode, I had Shelly Smith on to talk about why mental health is important, how to battle the stigmas around it, and how seeking therapy is normal! One of my goals through my content is to break the stigmas around mental health and self-development in general through these podcasts and videos. I misspoke describing Shelly's company, it is UCW, not UWC. UCW Stands for United Counseling & Wellness. "We’ve built our therapy practice on the foundation that therapy should be flexible and accessible, while still maintaining connection, warmth, and deeply individualized solutions. Our therapists strongly believe that therapy is for everyone, and it’s normal to feel overwhelmed and unclear on how to make things better. We’re here to help, and together we’ll make things better."
