Little simple things like that, like just making sure you have the right tools for the job.

A sharp knife.

A lot of people, when I go to friends' houses and they ask me to cook something, their knives are terrible.

You're more likely to cut yourself with a dull knife because it'll slip, because it's not capable of cutting through the thing you're trying to cut and it slips and cuts you.

That's 90% of how people get cut.

So a sharp knife, it's kind of counterintuitive, but a sharp knife is you're less likely to cut yourself with a sharp knife because it's doing what you're intending it to do.

So I would say for thermometer, a sharp knife,

a good quality cutting board preferably something that if you could get two cutting boards if you can afford it have one for your proteins and one for your non-proteins that way that you don't risk the cross-contamination um that's you really don't need much else other than the simple bakeware and skillets if you can get a nice non-stick skillet and then one either stainless steel cast iron or a hybrid pan okay that's all you really need okay all right that and some heat

They're going to do that anyway.

They are going to do that.

You know what's funny?

I get that question, probably the most common question, other than what's your favorite thing to cook?

And I, this may sound crazy to people that are trying to get where I'm at, but I don't feel like I've ever been that viral.

I've had a few videos.

I joke with my friends like I'm a blue-collar content creator because I've just been chipping away at it since 2017.

I've never had a streak where I'm doing 20, 30 million views like some of these people.

There are people.

And hats off to them.

They'll just get started and post a couple videos, 20 million views, 15 million views, and you look up and they got 600,000 followers in three months.

That wasn't my story.
