…but I would like to squeak out a few thoughts really quick.

First and foremost, I got married last week to the love of my life, Kacie. It was an amazing weekend with three full days of events, food and music. We got so many beautiful pictures, and celebrated with so many of our closest friends and family (and sincerely missed the ones that couldn’t attend for any reason—you were there with us in spirit!).

Kacie planned just about everything, and it all came together beautifully. I made sure to slip in a few of my own surprises (a song here, a dance there, and even a glitzy slap bracelet tastefully timed during the ceremony; it was an inside joke). All this to say, it was truly an amazing weekend because of all of the hard work and planning that she put in and I’m grateful that we have these memories to share with each other for the rest of our lives. Thank you my baby!

I would also like to say that I’m more excited for the future than ever before. We have big plans, and big ideas, and I am truly inspired in the wake and glow of our dream wedding weekend. This blog has been a bit sporadic because I decided to “start messy” rather than to keep putting off starting until I was “ready.” As of now, this is just a place to organize my thoughts while I grow my knowledge during this season of preparation.

I’m still very much interested in growing a YouTube channel, and will continue to work towards that. I’m also learning how easy it can be to write and self-publish books, both as physical and as ebooks. I’m thinking of starting a video podcast complete with in-person and virtual interviews. But all of this would be meaningless without intention and purpose. As I broaden my scope of what I can do, I need to narrow my focus of who I’m doing it for.

Who is my audience? Who is my avatar? Who are you? How can I help you? As of the posting of this article, I don’t think many if any people have read this blog yet. We have about 774 subscribers on our main YouTube channel, but most of those came from silly YouTube Shorts reaction videos. I have a couple thousand friends/followers on Facebook, and I don’t really use any other social media platforms frequently. So who to address? Who is the target audience? What do I offer?

I think I want to focus my efforts on helping younger people looking to forge their own path. I want to help them avoid some of the mistakes I made so that they can get a head start. I want to write and create in a way that benefits others.

I’ll keep sharing here, and maybe this will be a chapter in a future ebook.

Until next time,
