So I made a bet with my Mentor (Harut) before I planned on doing this "little youtube series" :) and my time has become extremely limited because of it. Anyhoo...the bet was to have two podcasts scheduled this month. I have managed to do this (two scheduled) but there was one rule, which slipped my mind, the podcast has to have at least 10k subs. One of these interviews does not reach that criteria. So, if anyone is in need of a guest on their podcast and you have 10k+ subs...I would be happy to assist you. You never know until you ask. Here's me jumping! Thank you in advance. BTW: losing is not an option. :)

I think I have a new career on the horizon. I posted a new video early this morning and here is one of the comments I got.

Hey all, newer 'tuber and trying out different things to see what works. I released a few videos with more curiosity/intrigue type hooks but I did one a while back where I essentially did a ~20 second intro with "teaser" clips from significant moments in the video and then a ~10 second brand clip. I'm curious y'alls opinions on how that would perform in terms of retention. My assumption is if my subs get used to this format they might skip it and then I can still go into a hook so almost best of both worlds but I don't know if my logic is quite right there. Would love any feedback on this vs just a pure visual/auditory/text based hook and then straight into the content. Also any other general feedback is obviously welcome. Thanks for your time looking.
