Grab a cuppa because this one is a podcastttttt! 🤭 On this episode of ‘Fuck the edit and Yap’ I decided to talk about something that has been on my mind for a few weeks now.. as well as hit the challenge brief! It’s great to see so many people push themselves out of there comfort zone and it’s inspired me to be more vulnerable. @Adam Rust @David Lovesy @Ross Gowling looking forward to your videos this week. 3 minutes 48 seconds talking to camera…who is this girl 🤣 💁🏼‍♀️

My day 1 advice is all about confidence, self esteem and reducing the time between idea and execution. One of my biggest obstacles in life has been the fear of other’s opinions, which I’ve learned is really just a projection of my own insecurity. To get through this barrier I reckon would make me unstoppable 🤩🤩🤩

I decided to make an Instagram account to keep me accountable to finishing my book by my 30th birthday (which is in 397 days lmao). It'll be the good, the bad and the ugly parts of the creative process and hopefully an opportunity to grow an audience of like-minded people. Inflow Content Club has given me the courage and inspiration to finally get out there and share my journey on social media; to create a sense of community, keep me on track with my goals and honestly to have some fun. Excited to see where the journey leads me. Here's the account if you fancy following along: @ambersreturn

Two quick changes before the challenge. First, these are just numbered now rather than weekly. This is #11, and the ten before it are all still sat there. If you missed one, go back and do it whenever. Nothing expires. Second, I've been making a video to explain each challenge and I've realised that video is harder to make than the challenge itself. A video about how to make a video, while filming myself editing the video. So I'm knocking that on the head. Instead I'll post a few different versions of the challenge as I go, like Ep. 2 of the hype track one I shot at Hemel. Same brief, different takes, so it's obvious there's no right way to do these. CHALLENGE #11: Right now, what's on your mind today? No filter, no point to make. No lesson at the end. Mine this morning is that I've hit a ceiling in my business where we only help our clients to a certain point and then it feels like they get left high and dry. Therefore, we get mixed results and nothing tangible to sell to the next client, so it feels like we're pushing snow uphill every time we try and win work. I have a solution, but you'll have to watch the video to see what I've come up with 😉 That's the video. WHY THIS ONE - I'm completely in service to my clients and want to bring actual value and also an unedited human thought is a rare thing online right now. Your vibe attracts your tribe! We got onto this on Friday's call. @Sarah McHugh said the second she spots a ChatGPT poster for a business in her town she's out, not clicking any further. @Rachel Baker said the same, you can spot it a mile off and it makes you trust the whole business less. So the stuff that can't be faked has gone up in value. A real thought, in your own voice, on a Monday, about nothing in particular. Nobody is generating that. And the people who reply to it are the ones who like how you think, which is a better filter than any sales page. If you don't run a business and want to challenge yourself just to talk unfiltered, go for it. What's on your mind about life today? What's annoying you? What's going well that you've not told anyone about? Same idea, just an excuse to practice talking down the barrel of the camera.

I actually had the MOST fun doing this. Really cheered me up on a hard day. @Dan Keyte I hope you approve!!!! And if you're having a rough day guys, just remember the the immortal words of Beyonce: give this fat ass a big kiss boy.
