Q: How long do you spend creating a single piece of content?
A: I've started using Twitter's new video reply feature. That platform is playing a lot more with video. When I first started putting out content in 2006, it was video because that felt most natural to me. The best way I could communicate. But it was hard for me to execute on it. In 2007 and 2009, I would carry a Flip Cam around with me and use that as my main medium. The fact that I can now do that straight through the Twitter app is awesome.
So video does seem most natural to me. But I don't over think my content. Way too many people over think the stuff they are putting out there. We're living in a culture where kids are growing up scrutinizing every selfie they take. It takes them forty-seven minutes to post because they have to make sure the lighting is right. Then when it doesn't get enough likes in the first four minutes, they pull it down. I have the reverse of that rigor. I would take the most unflattering selfies, not caring about the lighting (this is actually the first year I've started to understand lighting...).
Bottom line: I really don't care about the angles. The look. The feel. I care about the substance.

This just destroyed my last "excuse/limiting belief." THANK YOU!
I struggled to create content until I stopped trying to create. I started documenting moments of my day and using those to feed my strategy and share on social. I started bring my life into my videos and being real.
I'm in social media overload just thinking about all the things people are saying to do….I'd love to know how you get into the habit of knowing when to post because I can become so engrossed in my videos or editing or watching you for example and then before you know it, it's bed time and another day has gone by that my social media's gone out the window…Please tell me I'm not alone on this….I work hard too….time to work smart…and produce quality content.
LOL!!! I can't stop laughing after you said you're pretty. 😂
thank you gary! do you see pinterest as an untapped platform? thank you

Gary, in some of your recent answers I see that you are missing the point you wanted to go for in the first place. Great to have in a team Steve and India to help you out transcribe what goes on in your head! Can we get some more insights that you have on other facts about how different kind of people are consuming or producing media these times? I am referring to the 14 year old behavior 😉 Keep hustling!
