Trying to take a video without accidentally flashing you. I am currently in the sauna.

My niece has very kindly

picked up my daughter so that I can write.

Finish my sauna moment and then go right on this book because this is my last week.

I'm gonna start preparing for my trip to New York which is tomorrow, so I'll start prepping that today.

So I'm gonna take you along on the journey. We're doing a vlog.

So I have done vlogs on and off for a decade. I don't think that I've ever done vlogs super well.

One because I think probably the biggest key to vlogging is consistency which is very hard.

When frankly it hasn't ever been a super big priority for me.

But also just because I feel pretty awkward. I like being present in my real life.

I really like being present where my feet are.

And in order to vlog you need a ton of footage and I'm by myself.

So in order to get a ton of footage I have to stop that moment and go set up a shot.

I have to set up a shot.

I just don't like it because it pulls me out of life and then I'm looking at my very real life through a lens.

A literal lens of how is this going to read in the world.

So I'll do it and then I stop and so stupid.

But the other reason I haven't vlogged consistently is because the focus of my work is the podcast.

It's where I want to put all of my energy and all of my effort and I really believe in kind of...

You know, you could push energy out in a bunch of different directions.

Or you could ball up your fist and sort of punch with all you've got at one thing and podcast ends up being that for me.

So that's kind of why I have stopped and started.
