Wow, instantly a fan! you are such an inspiration to me. I just found you're video's today but you give me the motivation to push trough on my plans. Not to be successful but to do what I like to do most. Making interesting videos of interesting people doing interesting things.... Thanks Levi Allen vanderkwaak Greetings from the Dutch Wildman !
I kept this tab open and just filmed my video A-roll. I directed it to my friends rather than my viewers so if just those 2 friends watch I'll be happy and maybe the viewers will enjoy it too :)
Loved the part about courage vs confidence when it comes to actually producing... I've heard so many other people talk about it the other way around. I find humbling stories, be it by nature, adversity, resilience, etc, much more authentic than those of perfection and overconfidence. Well said Levi - keep up the great work :)
I hope I don't lose sight of this as I grow older / spend more time teaching. I am confident naturally myself, so I sometimes think that's the key. but the more time I observe others and look at what has truly worked for me, I would trade more true courage for confidence any day. Thanks for watching Chris, appreciate the comments as always.
Absolutely killed this Levi 🙌🏽 I've had this in my watch later playlist and finally got the chance to sit down and watch the whole thing and now I think I'm gonna need to watch it again and take notes it was so good!
Not sure how I missed this before. I thought I had watched every video of yours. One of the best things I have watched about real challenges we all face in this industry.
Levi, We are very small writers/creators. There is quite a bit about this that was moving. Really loved the tree proverb. Your tone and humility is evident, but at the same time there is a confidence and clear demonstration of skill and experience. Gratefulness released it out though. Especially in the early, sometimes awkward stages, he can be easy to just miss the blessing it is for even one person to subscribe or watch. Thank you for sharing.
Wooow ! Levi on stage ! *Man you are so INSPIRING* ! You make me so motivated to do more video stuff ! *Thanks A LOT* for sharing all of this with us !
You absolutely nailed what you were trying to achieve by "wanting to give value". Great talk for a great audience. Well done man, you should be super pumped on that.
You had me at highlining. As a slackliner and business owner I totally connect with your analogies of how slacklining applies to other aspects of life. And I really appreciate your tips for incorporating storytelling into videos.
Magnificent Levi. 'Courage to start' is what I'm struggling with right now. I think you have just pushed my 'courage level' up that notch or two needed. Thanks, Matt
I was shocked when I watched the video prior to this when you said you were in BOISE IDAHO!!! My home town, man I need to pay more attention so I don't miss opportunities like this to see people I respect...in person. This talk was fantastic. The information given I totally needed to here. Thanks, I smashed that like button!
Finally deciding to get started on TH-cam and found this gem of a talk. Thanks Levi! Inspiring and educational, looking forward to applying some of these points in my videos!
I have felt all of this and i'm so glad that these tendencies are universal. I'm actually working my ass off this summer to make content online with good gear. I subscribed to you a month ago and I love what I am watching. Keep making this content, you are a fantastic videographer and story teller. Kudos.
This was really inspiring! Thanks so much for all the work you're doing. I still haven't figured out what I want to create/build/make, but I feel like I'm getting there. Thanks again!
such a great Talk Levi! After a year or two I think you just answered why I am not growing...I want to START some tutorials but there is so much out there already. I want to leave an impact for sure!! Thanks for the confidence
Great talk Levi! Been watching you now for a year and your videos are true story telling gems! Keep making the videos and making our life’s better! 🎬🎥🎞📽📸 Jim Uk 🇬🇧
Great Video Levi. Really appreciate the encouragement to get ou and make videos people will want to watch. keep it up! PS. Miss seeing videos in my back yard :D
Truly inspirational, meaningful and clear. Maybe the numbers are just numbers, but if you upload a bit more consistently:-), they will grow too. Which doesn’t really matter, except when it does:-).
It's not as simple as pointing and shooting - I'm sure the filler shots you use and the various angles/views take quite a bit of time to capture...knowing ahead of time which shots you will need to add to your video to tell your story... not so easy
If you want some practical tips you can watch the workshop I did with Caleb at the conference here: th-cam.com/video/9loptLMG0x0/w-d-xo.html

Thanks for being on youtube!

"I make films but I use video to build trust with my audience" That is so true.

Gonna keep this in mind when I go to film tomorrow, thank you Levi!

Thanks for your kind words. I still feel nervous that the content of the talk isn't terribly helpful for people, so your encouragement is appreciated.

Levi, that's your product. I understand better now. You nailed it.
“Will people miss this if I didn’t make it?” That is a powerful thought.

This was really awesome for me. Perfect for what I needed at this moment!
Really inspirational man, I've been feeling a little bummed with my growth lately and you made some great points that really resonated with me.

Once again, inspiring to the core. Gave me bits to meditate on and action to apply. Thanks Levi.

Great Video Levi. Really appreciate the encouragement to get ou and make videos people will want to watch. keep it up! PS. Miss seeing videos in my back yard :D
Looks like you've been up to some incredible adventures lately yourself. Excited to see some more videos from your time up north.

Lol me too!
Incredible stuff man.
Man you really killed it, super interesting, keep it up! cheers from argentina ;)
great presentation and spot on message! Keep it up Levi! Just one question... should I change my online name? haha
Truly inspirational, meaningful and clear. Maybe the numbers are just numbers, but if you upload a bit more consistently:-), they will grow too. Which doesn’t really matter, except when it does:-).
Great speech!
Thank you!
Maybe a stupid question but where did your grandfather immigrate from if I may ask?
Thanks for the inspiring insights
Great presentation!

Grats On 50k
what do you do if you know nobody in the industry
There is so many meet ups, online communities, etc.. you just have to put yourself out there
Christopher Wood thanks 🙏
If only you could like a video twice
It's not as simple as pointing and shooting - I'm sure the filler shots you use and the various angles/views take quite a bit of time to capture...knowing ahead of time which shots you will need to add to your video to tell your story...
not so easy
Your videos don't get many views though
