So excited to get started. Alexa has been a huge inspiration — since I discovered her channel 24 hours ago 😂.

I really wish I could have found Alexa earlier. I know she’s outgrown me and gotten a lot more expensive than I could afford right now anyway but I would’ve loved to have had her be my coach.

Her generosity and authenticity really resonated with me — as I’m sure it does with many others. In some ways I felt like I’m hearing part of my own story.

I’m a 46 year old dad of two young boys (6 and 9), lost my job as a software engineer last month and feel obsolete and unexcited about the state of the industry.

Add to that my wife just finishing 16 weeks of chemo. It’s been a tough moment for sure. And it’s far from over. But I’m an optimist and want to look forward and I’m DONE relying on a “role” to ensure my family is taken care of.

I’ve been thinking about YouTube for a long time but after watching hours (literally) of Alexa’s content last night I realised this is what I NEED to do next. I tend to be obsessive and focused once I set a goal so I’m so excited to get into it.

I also know the value of surrounding myself with like minded and amazing individuals like yourselves but I hope I can also be a contributor to this amazing community. Right now I’m working on my YouTube home page. Banner, profile pic, description etc.

I also have an idea about what I want to share for my first video. Nothing special just an introduction I guess. I need to get started and get comfortable. If anyone has advice for or against this I’d love to hear it though. I want to help others long term but right now I need to learn myself so my ears are open.

I do have prior experience with technology and also design, business transformations and leadership. So I’m hoping this will eventually tie in somehow and provide me some unique proposition but for now I just want to get started.

I’m now unemployed, have maybe 12 months to make this work. I know there are no guarantees but I’m all in. Here we go!
