5:47 "If you need to explain the gear you're using you may be impressing other photographers but that's not gonna affect your bottom line" is a wonderful, crystal clear way to put it, great point.
This is a great video how how to get started. I think a lot of people get caught up in the GAS of it all and lose sight of the forest. Two bodies, two lenses, 4 batteries, two speed lights that can be triggered off camera, two 13+ foot light stands and two umbrellas cost shockingly little and cover most things you might want to shoot. A tripod is certainly useful, but not necessarily needed depending on what the niche is.
So so true! Other than the Sony + lens that I bought in my early days as new, all the rest was bought used. Rather unhealthy obsession with Kijiji and FB marketplace :( My main gear is 8-10 years old, so I'm not impressing anybody. But I also find it very freeing from constantly obsessing about this or that feature. Networking ... my Achilles heal. Don't even know where to start.

Good advice 👌

it's the last thing I expected being so important, and arguably more than the rest. Thanks for sharing!
