I was working my day job and then doing this on the evenings and weekends, i.e.

at the time making videos.

And I don't think I would have been as creative if I had been financially crippled.

Now, I wasn't making that much money, but I was making enough to pay my bills and take care of things and

I was having to edit my videos because I couldn't afford to outsource it to someone.

I was having a friend do me a favor by shooting my videos because I couldn't afford one.

But the idea was I wasn't creatively starved because I wasn't scared that every video had to make money.

And I think people put themselves into these positions where you take this big leap and now the dream has to pay the bills.

And now the dream doesn't feel like a dream anymore.

It feels like pressure.

Is there a good way to calculate what a financial cushion should be for someone?

Yeah, yeah, that's smart.

That makes a lot of sense.

What was the cost?

What were the things that were sacrificed in switching away from the life you thought you'd lead?

That's such a great point, because that is the biggest thing you're giving up is what you've defined your identity to be.

I really wanted to understand that.

I wanted our audience to really understand because I do think that the majority of people are in that position.

And I love this few takeaways that we've already had, which is you don't have to quit your job.

You can build something on the side.
