Hello, Stu!
I recently hit 600 days of my daily short-form video series — which is absolutely insane to think about.
And looking back at that very first video? Let’s just say… it was nothing like what you see today.
There was no signature jingle. No filming setup. No background. It wasn’t even shot at home — I literally filmed it in my truck.
But here’s the part that matters:
Posting that first video (imperfect as it was) ended up being one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
Because too many people wait for the “perfect” moment to start.
The perfect plan. The perfect setup. The perfect level of confidence.
But that moment doesn’t actually exist. You create it by starting.
That’s exactly why I’m running a free 14-Day Video Challenge — where you’ll create and post one short-form video every day for 14 days starting Tuesday, April 7th.
Because I want to give creators the nudge to stop waiting and start creating — with daily support and accountability from me and thousands of other creators who are figuring it out right alongside you.
(And yes, even if you joined last time, you’re absolutely welcome to do it again.)

"It was the perfect motivation I needed to finally do something that I've been meaning to for a couple of years, because doing it in a group held me accountable to complete it. You just gotta press record! But seriously: taking the first step is the hardest thing; once you start, it gets easier every day!"

Short-form video has changed my life.
We're talking over 1 billion total views, 2.5 million YouTube subscribers, and an average of 10 million views every single day.
But more importantly, it’s led to an amazing community of loyal followers — people who show up every day because they connect with the story I'm telling. My superfans.
None of it would have happened if I hadn't just sat down (in my truck, apparently) and hit record.
And I want the same for you.
That’s why I’d love for you to join me in this challenge and really commit to creating short-form content for just two weeks.
Because you can build real relationships through 60-second videos, but only if you take that first step.
Your audience is out there, waiting to discover your story. Let’s make sure they do.
