I had originally I had wanted to replace my full-time income completely.

You know, I'm a product owner in a software engineering firm, so it's a pretty good income.

And I quickly realized that I didn't have enough time outside of working hours to make that happen.

And so I kind of pulled back on that. And I will tell you, right now I'm making three,

four times less than I was when we did our previous interview. Hello and welcome to this week's

episode of the Creators Hub podcast. I'm so excited today to be joined by a friend, also a fellow

creator. And now, which we're going to be talking about this today, a full-time creator.

We're going to be talking to David about his decision to go full-time as a creator.

You probably recognize his face and his voice, as I have had him here on the podcast before,

but so many people in our mastermind group were so interested in

the decision that David recently made about going full time as a creator that I know there's

tons of you out there who want to hear this conversation about what it took as far as the

conversations that he had with his family. What did he weigh the pros and the cons? And we're

going to be covering all of that today. So even if you're not thinking about going full time,

I think there's going to be some tidbits in this conversation that you're going to want to hear.

So David, how are you doing today, my friend? I am doing wonderful. Well, I am number one,

congratulations. I want to say it publicly here on the airwaves, so everyone can hear. It is a, it is both a wonderful feeling and a absolutely terrifying one at the same time.

So I'm with you there. I know exactly what you're going through, the nerves, the conversations. And I'll be honest with you, David, I wish I could tell you it gets better, but it doesn't. Because there's always going to be that doubt of, did I make the right decision? Or, oh, last year was good, but is this year going to be as good as it, you know, previous years? So we'll talk about all of that really quickly. I want to mention if you're a creator and you

want support, take a look at some of the services that we offer down below. We have a mastermind group.

David's a part of that group. I offer one-on-one coaching. I do YouTube channel reviews. So just

quickly, go check that out if you haven't already. So with that said, let's just talk about it here.

When did the conversation start,
