So, and slowing down, you know, I used to try to squeeze so much into it every day when I first started, maximize, you know, everything that I was doing. And now I really enjoy slowing down and taking my time at places, which has changed my travel habits a bit. And it's been enjoyable. But taking the time, being slow and intentional,
has yielded a lot better results over the years um and how i used to do it just kind of like speed running sites you know uh trying to get as much content as i could possibly squeezed into a week or two weeks or however long i was in a country yeah but uh
yeah i mean it is it is it is kind of sad sorry i'm giving you such a depressing episode there but yeah no all good all good it's it's uh it's very enlightening i didn't realize that those two sites were were rebuilt like they were but um yeah yeah so what what content are you sitting on right now that's that's forthcoming on your channel you know i'm really excited to get i'm really excited to just to really start the actual video project side of the cart rut research
that'll be an ongoing project that's gonna i can see that one taking quite a while and quite a while i hope i hopefully it's out um i'd like to get that out before the cosmic summit um this year so i'll be on a panel there at the cosmic summit summit speaking um this year in june i believe and i'd like to have it out before them cool i'll be speaking there too oh nice yeah and then uh
Yeah, that sounds right. And then...
the uh i'd like to get ball back out lebanon was just amazing i had a lot of sites in lebanon that were really off the beaten path lebanon lebanon was an adventure uh that's uh that's a trip i got shot at in lebanon up in the mountains there went out to uh i think a site called hosanisa that's it's sort of near about ball back and got got shot at up in the up in the mountains there
and had to take cover for a little bit huh what were you doing trying to explore this these ruins yeah yeah we pulled up into a site and parked and there there were these guys in the in a car parked there and uh probably looked like they were up to no good i don't know what they're doing at first i thought they were just like kids like smoking weed or something in a car i don't know um they grow a lot of weed out there and um
we started walking up and they drove off and they went, drove off down the mountain and they started shooting up the side of the mountain at us. Wow. So that was kind of, that was kind of intense.
I guess so. I think they were probably trying to scare us. My cousin was running off and I kind of, I was like, I was, I don't know. I was all right with it. I mean, I felt like we were, yeah, I felt like we were in the best spot that we could be. Right. You know, I wasn't hearing anything like pop in there wasn't going by like the, they didn't sound close to the shots.
They sounded in our vicinity. but I think they were just trying to scare us, but, um, but yeah, that was, that was interesting and exploring the sites and, um, these are actual ruins out in the middle of nowhere. They're just complete state of collapse and, um, you know, without any kind of, uh, anything around them or anything, you know, and, um, So I'd really like to get that content out.
2025 for me is going to be about trying to take my foot off the gas. with the traveling and get all this content out that I've been filming for six plus years.
Exactly. That's a great way to put it. Exactly.
Yeah. TM. Right. Matt Beal. Right. Right. Um, Yeah, no, that's great. Don't get me wrong, I already have some trips in the books, but the focus is going to be getting all this content that I'm sitting on. I was telling you guys the other day, I think I'm sitting on somewhere around 20 terabytes worth of footage of so many sites around the world. That's a lot. That's a lot.
I've got probably hundreds of videos that I could be dropping and putting out. So I just hate sitting behind the desk and editing. I want to be doing the traveling part. I think this year is going to be about getting things big enough that maybe we can park somebody behind that desk for me eventually and I can do the traveling more like I have been.
this year is going to be about getting that content out so if if people enjoy what i do and they like my channel um it's good news for you because i'm going to have tons of stuff coming out this year from all over the place so easter island ball back angkor wat um all kinds of places uh egypt all over egypt some sites that i think might surprise people from egypt and um
Yeah, it's going to be real fun getting all that content out and finally releasing it. Literally hundreds of sites from around the world that I've filmed already and have video content on. So we'll be focused on getting that. Just started a new business that people can support me on. I have a book coming out, speaking at the conference, and then we're working on a tour for Turkey next year.
I hope I can get that pushed out in the next month or two for people to check out. yeah, I'll have everything, um, that I'm doing outside the YouTube channel, uh, at some point posted up on my website at wandering wolf productions.com. And then, uh, obviously I'll be trying to get a video out every week here in the coming future. Hopefully sooner rather than later. Yeah.
By the end of this month, I'm hoping to have that done and ready to go where we're getting something out every week. But, um, Yeah, a lot of good stuff coming out. I'm excited to share it and get through that part so I can get back to some more traveling, honestly, because that's what I really love doing.
I hope so. I hope more than anything... with what I'm doing. You'll hear me share my opinion, but generally I try to share things in such a way is that I'm just documenting things and sharing it with people. And more than anything, I hope that I'm able to inspire people to think for themselves. And also I've shared some of my personal story, how I got to where I'm at today.
And it's been a long kind of difficult road with things like addiction and different stuff and a lot of different loss and things and abuse in my life and things that I've gone through. And my hope is definitely to, if people hear that and it touches them in any kind of way, my hope is that people understand that with life,
