    I also claim the maker title, but video is now a big part of it. I have done metal, wood, leather, stained glass ,and sewing over the years. But video is the first think that I have been able to do that isn't just for me. I can now share the love of Christ and help spread the gospel. And like you I now have a way to share my making

    Really cool to see your honest insights and knowing what you want and doing things like TH-cam as an auxiliary to your true passion. As a new business owner it’s refreshing to hear your realities and focusing on what matters works in the end!

    Love the insight Levi! TH-cam definitely isn't the end-all be-all for everyone, myself included. I'd definitely like to grow my channel more, to have a place to talk about projects, try new things, and be creative with, but also have a normal filmmaking career as well. It's a tough balance sometimes, but an important one for all creators!

    Congrats on the birth of your son. Massive respect for bearing your all in your videos. You keep it real, for better and for worse. Stay awesome and take more time than you think with your family. My boy is 6 and it went fast having a business and two other children.

    It's so crazy when the youtube algorithm have you come across a random channel whose owner happens to be the big brother from a host family you met in Canada 13 years ago😆 it's just insane..!!
    Great to see you Levi, AND James:)

    Great video Levi, as someone who has just started a channel to share our new adventure of moving to Russia from Australia. I could really understand the creator balance you talked about, so many new skills to learn, but do it in a way that it doesn't kill your creativity. Congratulations on your new son, what a great blessing.

    Thanks for sharing that part about YT famous. When I got serious with making videos last year, the YT analytics gave me an incredible amount of anxiety. I had no work because of the pandemic and I thought my project idea would quickly catch the eyes of enough people to get into the monetizing game. Man was I wrong! Luckily my life as a DJ picked back up, but my video series has taken on a new life and I love it even more now that I don’t have to worry about it making money. So I get what you mean by saying not wanting to be YT famous. Many ppl, such as myself, don’t realize the amount of grinding and luck that goes into even getting 100 people to watch your videos.
    I mean, imagine if 100 ppl were in a movie theater watching your video. That’s pretty cool! If there’s anyone upset with their numbers, think of it that way and please don’t get caught up in the analytics 🙏

    You may not want to be famous but I was that dude in the international terminal in SF the other day, about to hop a flight to Van, that gave you a bro nod instead of saying what's up in hopes of respecting your privacy. Cool running into you! I really enjoy your work.

    Love the mindset! This is what we are introducing to our daughter. Ok more so she is introducing it to us... imagine a 10 yr old's constant persistence since the age of 4 of trying to get her parents to let her start her own channel.
    So our journey is starting with a documentary. This way other parents can join us. Would love to have her interview you.

    This video made my week. I'm just starting into the realm of creating my own channel. I really like what you said about "not being a filmmaker first". I'm the 5th generation of my family's business, and that has to come first. But that's closely followed by my love of fabrication and that neverending itch to go somewhere new. I just think video is such a cool way to share a story, and the massive skillset and amount to learn that comes with it is the icing on top for me. Thanks for hitting record and getting personal with us on this one! :)

    Levi: You talk to much. I don't know what others think but eyes see quicker than the words will explain. I don't know your objectives about what you are trying to accomplish. However I am willing to listen. I believe there are lots of things that we can learn from each other. If I got into You Tube I don't know how I would approach it. Keep up the effort and congratulations on the milestone.
