I've shared, I've shared it all.

And for those of you who don't know the story, before I, if you go back on my YouTube channel, my current YouTube channel, and you filter the videos by oldest first,

It's a full day of eating video where I really don't show my face much.

If you're a frequent viewer of my YouTube channel, I would actually highly encourage you.

I do this frequently.

Go back and watch old YouTube videos of mine from 2014, 15, 16.

It's just this baby of a kid who's trying to figure it out.

No strategy behind content.

YouTube and even fitness YouTube, the niche of what fitness YouTube was back in 2014, very different than it is today.

I was filming what I was eating, how I was training, me traveling into Austin to try different meals and foods.

At the time I was in the army, I was an infantry platoon leader, just graduated from ranger school after spending a year in Fort Benning, Georgia.

just arrived, my first duty assignment being Fort Hood, Texas, and just sharing and documenting the journey.

If you haven't watched any of those videos, go back and watch them.

I encourage you.

Because my YouTube journey, documenting my life these last 11, 12 years, you can watch someone.

I can watch myself

grow and mature and learn and fail and succeed and transform and evolve over different seasons of life.

If you go back and watch the first YouTube video ever, that's actually not the first YouTube video I ever filmed.

I tried on two separate occasions to start a YouTube channel.

And then I was discouraged by the feedback on those videos in the comments.
