| 0:00.0 | I understand that what I was doing originally was just the surface and people want the meat |
| 0:06.1 | and potatoes of it. |
| 0:07.1 | I wish I had had that opportunity earlier on, but because I'm self, it's only me and myself |
| 0:12.7 | and I. |
| 0:14.1 | It's harder. |
| 0:15.1 | But with time and effort, I'm able to, you know, work it in and evolve. |
| 0:20.4 | I just wish I had started sooner doing that. |
| 0:23.5 | Hello, everyone, and welcome to this week's episode of the YouTube Creators Hub podcast for each and every Friday. |
| 0:29.7 | I sit down with a wonderful content creator and I chat with them about their channel, the mistakes they've made, |
| 0:36.2 | and just get an overall scope of what their life is |
| 0:39.1 | like as a creator. So if you're interested in that, definitely subscribe to the show. |
| 0:43.2 | It's absolutely free. And speaking of free, we have no advertisers on this show. I'm only going to |

| 1:11.3 | offer channel reviews and audits where I'll record a screencast video six to eight minutes |
| 1:16.0 | telling you where I think you should be spending your time. And then beyond that, we have the |
| 1:21.1 | Entrepreneur's Minute, which is my email newsletter. If you want to keep up with me, things that I'm |
| 1:25.1 | interested in, things going on behind the scenes, definitely take a look at that. And then our entrepreneurs toolbox, which is a |
| 1:31.3 | running list of all the links, tools, and resources mentioned here on the podcast. And with that |
| 1:36.2 | said, we'll go ahead and jump into this week's conversation. Hello everyone. Welcome to this |
