I have two young kids.

When I'm home, I want to be present and active with my family.

Before having kids and filming and documenting everything, it wasn't just setting up a camera and living life.

It was setting up the tripod, getting the shot right, the lighting right, the audio right, moving the camera around for certain shots.

If I were to do that now at home,

I wouldn't be the present father and husband that I want to be in this season and chapter of life.

Now, maybe I'll have a new approach to YouTube that I'll discover in these next couple of weeks and months and years.

And I'm not sharing this to say that I'm going to stop uploading on YouTube.

because I'm still uploading videos on YouTube, but just not as frequently as I used to.

It used to be one, two, sometimes even three videos a week.

Film, edit, publish, film, edit, publish, film, edit, publish for years and years and years and years.

And like I said, it built the business, it built the brand, it got us and me to where we are today.

But I don't know.

I'm still trying to figure out what I want to share with the world on YouTube moving forward and how I want to share it.

Especially being a more committed husband in this chapter of life.

A committed and present father in this chapter of life.

And I'm trying to figure out how YouTube and filming and documenting fits into that equation, if it does.

So I don't really have like a, this is what I'm doing, this is why, this is how.

But I'm just sharing what's been on my mind in terms of the YouTube platform and how it's been a huge part of my life these last 11 to 12 years.

And I'm sure it will in a meaningful way now and into the future, but it's definitely going to look different because I don't know what and how I want to share parts of my more personal, intimate life like I did years ago.
