I tried setting up a patreon account once to try and get funding for the kind
once to try and get funding for the kind
once to try and get funding for the kind of thing that we are doing and got very
of thing that we are doing and got very

subscribers and basically kicking back
subscribers and basically kicking back saying you’re too big for that so I had
saying you’re too big for that so I had
saying you’re too big for that so I had to shut down the patreon account because
to shut down the patreon account because
to shut down the patreon account because it just wasn’t worth it so the only
it just wasn’t worth it so the only
it just wasn’t worth it so the only other options really are just to make

the good news is we found a new way to
the good news is we found a new way to make videos I could do my daily
make videos I could do my daily
make videos I could do my daily experiments I started bringing on a guy
experiments I started bringing on a guy
experiments I started bringing on a guy to help film and help edit and because
to help film and help edit and because
to help film and help edit and because we were doing frequent posting you know
we were doing frequent posting you know
we were doing frequent posting you know there luckily there was enough revenue
there luckily there was enough revenue
there luckily there was enough revenue that we could support another family on
that we could support another family on
that we could support another family on that income it was really nice to have
that income it was really nice to have
that income it was really nice to have the help to do that
the help to do that
the help to do that now what got really interesting is in
now what got really interesting is in
now what got really interesting is in December we tried this experiment where
December we tried this experiment where
December we tried this experiment where you tried posting daily videos and that
you tried posting daily videos and that
you tried posting daily videos and that pushed us to the max because we were
pushed us to the max because we were
pushed us to the max because we were literally all all day and all night and
literally all all day and all night and
literally all all day and all night and up till 4:00 in the morning working on
up till 4:00 in the morning working on
up till 4:00 in the morning working on videos to post every day but that made
videos to post every day but that made
videos to post every day but that made such a huge difference with our channel
such a huge difference with our channel
such a huge difference with our channel we gained 800,000 subscribers a month
we gained 800,000 subscribers a month
we gained 800,000 subscribers a month the revenues shot through the roof and
the revenues shot through the roof and
the revenues shot through the roof and it seemed like everything was life
it seemed like everything was life
it seemed like everything was life changing and this was just grant and one
changing and this was just grant and one
changing and this was just grant and one other guy doing that right it was an
other guy doing that right it was an
other guy doing that right it was an incredible workload for both of them so
incredible workload for both of them so
incredible workload for both of them so this is when I realized if we could keep
this is when I realized if we could keep
this is when I realized if we could keep this up if this was sustainable you know
this up if this was sustainable you know
this up if this was sustainable you know you guys are asking what’s the creative
you guys are asking what’s the creative
you guys are asking what’s the creative process how to get from point A to point
process how to get from point A to point
process how to get from point A to point B do you ever make mistakes and also
B do you ever make mistakes and also
B do you ever make mistakes and also giving requests like can you do this
giving requests like can you do this
giving requests like can you do this project for that project
project for that project
project for that project this format met that need and we’re able
this format met that need and we’re able
this format met that need and we’re able to do it on a daily basis so once I saw
to do it on a daily basis so once I saw
to do it on a daily basis so once I saw that it was sustainable the money could
that it was sustainable the money could
that it was sustainable the money could come in I decided to systematize what we
come in I decided to systematize what we
come in I decided to systematize what we were doing hire a team and go to work
were doing hire a team and go to work
were doing hire a team and go to work so I took basically three weeks off in
so I took basically three weeks off in
so I took basically three weeks off in January to figure out what I was doing
January to figure out what I was doing
January to figure out what I was doing put into a system I hired two more
put into a system I hired two more
put into a system I hired two more editors I taught them the system and we
editors I taught them the system and we
editors I taught them the system and we developed this machine that we can now
developed this machine that we can now
developed this machine that we can now film put videos into the machine and
film put videos into the machine and
film put videos into the machine and produce on a daily basis now the problem
produce on a daily basis now the problem
produce on a daily basis now the problem with doing that is there’s still no time
with doing that is there’s still no time
with doing that is there’s still no time for research development and prototyping
for research development and prototyping
for research development and prototyping because all of our work is into
because all of our work is into
because all of our work is into production and if I stop work on
production and if I stop work on
production and if I stop work on production to do research and
production to do research and
production to do research and development there aren’t videos and if
development there aren’t videos and if
development there aren’t videos and if there aren’t videos there’s
there aren’t videos there’s
there aren’t videos there’s no income to pay for all those editors
no income to pay for all those editors
no income to pay for all those editors and the people helping so there’s this
and the people helping so there’s this
and the people helping so there’s this really weird balance here that I want
really weird balance here that I want
really weird balance here that I want you guys to understand some of the
you guys to understand some of the
you guys to understand some of the comments say we liked your videos better
comments say we liked your videos better
comments say we liked your videos better when you post once a week or even once a
when you post once a week or even once a
when you post once a week or even once a month but if I post once a month there’s
month but if I post once a month there’s
month but if I post once a month there’s not even gonna be enough money for me to
not even gonna be enough money for me to
not even gonna be enough money for me to make videos so the king random is dead

the re-infuse of the DIY we’re almost to that point I’ll tell you about that in a
that point I’ll tell you about that in a
that point I’ll tell you about that in a second but think about this we have to
second but think about this we have to
second but think about this we have to film videos that are a little bit easier
film videos that are a little bit easier
film videos that are a little bit easier to film because I don’t have projects
to film because I don’t have projects
to film because I don’t have projects lined up it takes time to develop ideas
lined up it takes time to develop ideas
lined up it takes time to develop ideas new ideas especially ideas you know are
new ideas especially ideas you know are
