Already getting value - Nice meeting Omar at Myron Goldens event a few weeks back
My name is Nia, and a licensed life insurance agent, and I JUST got my first sale, so I'm new to the business, but not new to entrepreneurship. I'm looking to start a YouTube channel around insurance, including the living benefits and financial benefits ( with new agents as well as potential clients being my target audience), but also empowering women 35 and up who are in a change of life season starting a business, changing careers or just juggling life in this season. I want to highlight wellness, freedom, and joy. I know this may sound scattered lol but that's why I'm here to hone in on how to package this. I'm ready to learn!

i got a DM, couldn't get in. Seems like a calendar placeholder for later date. I got the DM at 11:38, and it said that the time it started was 10am... EDIT - looks like it happened? @LaVondilyn W. San Kitts you got in?

@LaVondilyn W. San Kitts so was it 10am? Ok, good to know! Glad it was valuable!
INFO IS DEAD 💀
Has anyone noticed how views and sales are a lot harder to get now on Youtube? With the raise of AI answering basic questions instantly now, surface level content on YouTube has been replaced, so the only way to Stand Out now is to build around what AI can't do (in a way that causes you to differentiate and own a space in your niche). Put in the comments, what are you doing to stand out on YouTube in 2026? 👇👇👇

Context is everything. We relate to context. Let's use a basic question: "ChatGPT, how do i install this sink in my bathroom?" AI: "here's step 1, 2, & 3". Done. The info is there, but maybe there's missing information? Maybe the general information that it gives is slightly different from my situation? This info is correct, but is it right for ME?" Now, here's a youtube video from someone that you know, like, and trust. He's got a couple hundred views. Not a big star, but has lots of engagement with "thank you" and "Wow, that did it" in the comments. He says, "I've got the Moen faucet head here, and it looks just like the Pfister head and it's a couple bucks cheaper. But when you try to line up the rings, it doesn't work and you can strip the lining. I've made that mistake before! They're not interchangeable! Moen is also pretty known for the exterior finish peeling really easily. it doesn't take much, so when you're attaching it to the faucet, be sure to not twist too hard or apply too much pressure..." That 2nd guy? The guy with people who have tried his method and found success? The guy who doesn't have a huge following but probably has real world customers based on how I see him explain the situation clearly and simply? That's the guy that's going to help me with MY problem. THAT's the advice *I'm* following. Something to consider as we plan how to move in an A.I. world.
New with a question for feedback
Hi friends!! New entrepreneur with a business that gets other businesses on TV to promote their product/services across the country (USA). 1. Do small businesses/entrepreneurs even care about local news or is that too 'old school'? That said, it does get a business in front of thousands (backed by data), and there's no algo to wrestle. Background, I'm an EMMY award winning reporter who spent over 2 decades in TV as a news producer, then reporter, and later an anchor. The business is based on personal experience getting businesses, events, and organizations airtime and watching increases in revenue and sold-out events. Thank you for your time and gracious feedback!

Personal anecdotal experience: I can't remember the last time anyone in my family has watched local broadcasts at all. The exception being if we're specifically looking to get more information about something we've heard and need depth+clarity. For local info, if we haven't already exhausted Nextdoor, local news on Youtube, or our specific area subreddits, then, yes. We might try somehow going to the local stations. Otherwise, it has been at least a few years.
Video Setup
Hello Omar and the Video Dept. community! Pretty pumped to be able to meet you at the Awaken Summit last week! I've been following your content and listening to your podcasts for a while. Just wanted to see if anyone had recommendations on video set up for my studio. I'd like to start making content, either talking head, informative, or reaction videos. I have Sony FX30 with a Sigma lens. I have a Shure SM7DB with an XLR directly into the Sony FX30 and a USB-C cable connected to my MacBook Pro. Does anyone know the best flow for capturing, editing, and publishing content on social media? I know Think Media and Omar have promoted StreamYard in the past. I thought of subscribing to StreamYard (any affiliate links or discount codes?), capturing my video, saving it in Dropbox, and then editing it on CapCut. Could anyone chime in and let me know if that is an efficient way to do things or suggest a better way? Thanks in advance!!
