Recentry we've had a chat with @Ricardo Infanger about naming yourself in various social media. For many Synthesizers out there, naming is an issue, since some of the names and surnames are not easily pronounced and kept in memory. Take mine as an exapmle. If you're not slavic you have no idea how to pronunce that. So, the question is — when you have a very specific name and surname should you modify and ’standardize’ or ’westernize’ it or not? Or just take a completely new name or a nickname, like MrBeast? I'd like to hear your opinions on that and it'd be great if you could provide some of the successful cases for different positions. POLL If you have a hard to pronouce and remember name and surname, what is the best strategy?

Inspired by @Alan Paul 's reply on this post The story of my brother continued... There were many reps. 476 public videos right now. Half a decade of work. Just keep improving. I remember holding a tablet on my lap pointed at the TV screen because we didn't know how to screen record. But as Andrew's latest video correctly pointed out, you need to be progressing as fast as you can. Stretch yourself. Don't know how to make a thumbnail. Try. Never edited a transition before. Figure it out. It's through that friction that you will learn. Don't be scared. Start, then learn. Just focus on the next step. Then, the next. Then, the next. ...and then after enough iteration and constant improvement, you will turn around and cringe at the quality of your old videos.

#Creativity comes from what you consume I think it is how you see the world. When I'm out and about I might see an amazing old building. I take a photo and post it online, everyone loves it. The strange thing is that If people actually walked past the building on the street, they wouldn't look twice. Creativity is everywhere. You just need to look.

I published my first newsletter two weeks ago. I find myself navigating with my services (branding & web design) to survive and upgrade while sharing everything. Instead of a 9-5 and building my “online business” I treat my service business as my 9-5. The more I grow, the more my content will shift toward lifestyle design and human potential up until I quit my (9-5) and transition into full-time content creation, it could be in two years, or it could be in 5. https://imeddjabi.webflow.io/content/build-a-multi-passion-one-person-business-to-1m-in-revenue
