What is up daddy gang? It is your founding father Alex Cooper with call her daddy.

Is there anything that made you almost quit?

I will say there has been a lot of times where I've almost quit and how do you not like what

are the what brings you back to not quitting well I'm in an interesting spot now

where you know I'm 20 and I am in a spot

where I'm ready to evolve things and I don't really know what that means for myself right now

but I need to like find what mediums and what things make me excited because I was in this hamster wheel of you know

creating content every single week for four years and the thing that

kept me coming back was the fact that that's the it's like literally like a disease like when you start

doing YouTube or you start a podcast or whatever you do which I you know I've been doing

both now for like two

years or so like you're like if I miss a week I'm done people are gonna

fucking forget people won't care and you you like guilt trip yourself into pushing through even the roughest moments because

I burped because there's this stigma that like the second you take a break you're out.

But I'm done with that. I've taken a break for the past few months. I'm like, sorry, I'm done.

Or a month or so, not that long, but I was like, I'm burnt out, so I'm going to be able to.

I'm burnt out so I'm going to take a fucking break. When we talk about going through this hamster wheel process,

it's so hard to explain a tangible feeling that it is is and like I talk about it in therapy all the time like I started this

podcast kind of like when you started YouTube and you didn't have anything in mind of like a start or end date it was like I'm just

gonna start this and then all of a sudden you wake up and you're like I've been

doing this for years yeah and like who am I without my podcast?

Yeah, are you without YouTube?
