    Of late I have been bouncing ideas off a friend by messaging. Today, from my own initiative, I proposed a TV series to a major TV company exec. No expectations (optimism or pessimism) - but my chance of success is infinitely greater than if the idea had merely come and gone in my head - which it most likely otherwise would have done. Sharing solidifies.

    I first found you through the deep-dive interview you made with Ali Abdaal and you gave me a completely new perspective on how to deal with my own personal blog. Since then I've made some big changes to it, which I think will turn out for the better long-term. I'm definitely using you as an inspiration as I make my way down this weird path of creating content online and I'm so stoked you've decided to make a whole YT series about this topic!

    Thanks for sharing Nat - humble suggestion for one of your future videos could be "the benefits of writing consistently" - basically talking about your initial experience of showing up everyday even when no one cared or read your blog.. i.e. the progress seemed almost invisible at first and maybe sharing your experience about what kept you moving forward or motivated you to keep sharing your creative work.. i think it'd also be useful for people who had started a blog in the past, wrote few articles and gave up! hearing from a blogging legend might inspire those people.

    • @nateliason

    Great video Nat. Thanks! You may have just pushed me over the edge to finally launch my own blog. I have been blogging for 10 months on Medium, as a tool to get better in English. I could never imagine how many great people I have met there, so I believe you when you say that creating a blog is more than just writing content to the void (even if it feels like it sometimes :)). Looking forward to your next video. Eliason - do you have any Scandinavian heritage?
