Eh I was with you until the Nerdwriter1 channel thing, yes the production value is great and they are well made but if you watch other better ones like Every Frame A Painting, Lessons From A Screenplay, Channel Criswell, KaptainKristian, etc you'll notice how his commentary is less than meaningful when it comes to his movie/tv related videos.

Nerdwriter covers a vast range of topics, which means a larger market, but clearly his knowledge of any specific area will be weaker.

I particularly enjoyed his videos on poetry. Definitely gave me a new perspective on an art-form I have never really indulged in.

my business does millions in revenues and i watch him and others. mainly because i find a lot of what they say is true, and i'm looking for information on how to get to the next order of magnitude in revenues. their audience isn't just wannabes, it's also successful people looking for guidance/validation/vindication/whatever. it's not just "motivation", it's also "information". talking shit on the internet to success…

Yea, me too bud. I make 500 million a year, drive a brand new ferrari, and I'm 6'5 280 lbs with 8% body fat. Making stuff up on the internet isn't new. You're not doing anything new. It's actually very tired, so very tired. Yawn. zzz

Maybe he's so very tired from working 16 hours a day and only taking one weekend a decade off? :)

Personally I'd skip the motivational videos and get some sleep as I feel that produces better returns.

i didn't say any of those things. i said i had a small business. your favorite neighborhood restaurant probably does more revenues than my business, but it's still in the millions.

having a business with a single one million in revenues means you probably make i see you're building a product. just wait until it starts making some money and you'll learn all of these things in due time.

p.s. porsche > ferrari

I share the same attitude and tend to push people into a mentality of just getting sh*t done. No amount of videos, podcasts and articles will make you successful. They definitely have their place. I am not saying this is all bad, but some people mistake procrastination for "learning". Myself included.

definitely agree, although i would say that podcasts are a lesser evil that youtube videos or articles. - some channels or website tend to favour quantity over quality since they can get more ad revenue that way - podcasts are generally more professional. not like youtube where its common to find 10 minutes of some person rambling to make a point that should have only taken 2 - you can fit in podcasts/audiobooks whil…

Agreed, I podcast exclusively during daily commute.

And the lord said "I desire mercy not sacrifice" It's only human to believe that things can only be achieved with sacrifice and that great things require great sacrifice. It was this mentality that led our ancestors to sacrifice animals and even human beings at ancient altars. | But rationally we can see that sacrifice is not always needs and that a good idea and good implementation and a vision for improving the wor…

The line you're quoting "I desire mercy not sacrifice" does not mean what you think it means. Sacrifice in that context is essentially apologizing for sinning. Not giving something up so that you gain something else. Unless you count giving up sin to gain something... It's not a good thing. The sister verse to that is "To obey is better than sacrifice". To your point, sacrificing self-indulgence is really sacrificing…

The verse was used twice, once in Hosea 6 and the other in Matthew 9.

Hosea 6 clearly refers to burnt sacrificial offerings like killing animals. consider the full context:

"I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings."

Matthew 9:13 just quotes the verse in Hosea and talks more about loving others and being merciful to those who are sinning:

“It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

Apologizing for sinning (ie. repentence) remains an essential part of Christian doctrine and the bible

Everything I've seen from GaryVee recently has been along the lines of "you're not doing enough work." Last week he told someone who took a weekend off that that was more time than he had taken off for his entire twenties. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRj144Gd7EA

Everything I've seen from GaryVee recently has been along the lines of "you're not doing enough work." More specifically he says you're probably not working enough if you're running some sort of personal narrative that you're all that business-wise or ever going to be a multi-millionaire/whatever. He frequently says that sort of life is not for everyone and people who are happy doing a dayjob and devoting their time…

I didn't assume Christianity or Judaism on your part. Though, it's less likely for a Jew to mistake sacrifice (for atonement) to forgoing things to be able to do other things.

But "sacrificing things" to work harder is still not the context of either.

I don't really understand the reason for your reply.

Maybe the title should be "YouTube channels for wanna-be entrepreneurs". youtube channels and bullshit, if you wanna do it, just do it.

I think video is quite a bad medium. Watching trains the wrong part of the brain. Being alone at a library yielded better results in my case.
