For Creatives Who Feel Lost

- Just Turned 30 early last month and I had a little bit of an identity crisis of what to do with myself. I don’t know man, 30 just hits different. So I spent a few weeks putting my thoughts into words and poured my heart into this little film. Hope you enjoy it
This isn’t what my content usually looks like but honestly it feels good to make something for me:
These are a few thoughts and principles I wish I knew when I first started down this career. Hopefully this helps if you’re trying to figuring out how to stay balanced through the rollercoaster that is being a freelance artist

Bros the most under-rated creative on YT!
So true
He s going places, that s for sure!
right!?
Facts
I wouldn’t say all that, he’s good though borrowing a lot of video concepts from other more popular TH-camrs
One of the best videos I‘ve seen in a long time. Well done man! 💯
You’re a big inspiration aswell bro!
i watched this video based on your advice in Instagram. it is soo good
Holy shit its Nik.
I am a 31-year-old dude trying to start my TH-cam channel! Do I know what I doing? Hell no! Do I compare myself with other people? All the time! But I'm trying to stay true to myself and do things my way. To make things worse, English is not my first language but we only fail when we stop trying. See you guys there.
I don’t even know you but I’m proud of you bro 🥲 I’ll see you at the top.
The way you maintained the same levels of sound quality is insane fr
karl.
im 18 years old now.
been watching creative youtubers for my entire life now.
this is hands down the best video i’ve seen on this platform.
thanks.
In the same boat as you, brother. I wish the best success to your career
i watch the video twice , 1st for the information, 2nd time to admire the absolute beauty of this man’s creativity
your editing and style is actually insane. Its like a combination of all of the best creatives on yotuube mixed into one, then you throw in your own genuine authentic energy and style. I watch A LOT of youtube channels, and you are the most impressive ive seen.
I lost $40 my mom gave me to buy groceries and you posted this. After seeing this and talking to my mom I’m gonna take it easy in life. I’m going to stop comparing and start creating, ty brother Ty ty Ty happy birthday and wish you nothing but success
It was a REAL advice for me. I have been lost completely, so I just want to thank you.
I’m going to be 30 years old this year & pursuing music. I stopped because of imposter syndrome but this motivated me a lot. Thank you so much!
Karl you should have a million followers. This channel is always gold.
Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou Kat. You’ve seen the whole journey
Dude you might be my new FAVORITE TH-camr. Just discovered you from this video and I’m already obsessed with your style
Man, I just want to sit and watch you edit... Your style is so amazing and the flow is insane. The way you edit is like a song, perfect dynamics and levels with so much character, purpose and intention. Know editing is a journey, but wow, I’m truly inspired!
The editing is also insane. You need more recognition, this was amazing 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Damn Karl, I never take the time to comment on YT vids but the craft, design and soul you put into this is so clear and holds so much more inspiration than anything else i've seen in a long time, Thank you
Man, you hit it on point every time. From creativity to storytelling to the vibes you give off - pure joy to watch and learn from you. Much appreciation!!!
finding this before my 21st birthday feels like serendipity :)) thank you!!!
Man, oh man, I know it's tough but, it would be so good to see you here more often. These videos are seriously like a breath of fresh air of creativity that gets me pumped up again. Thanks for that. Keep hitting that upload button!
He is not a lazy TH-camr. Most of them sitting in there Office And talking to the camera
I don’t know how much of TH-cam comments you see more than your Instagram, but I just wanted to let you know that I’ve been following you since 2019. I’ve always appreciated your willingness & openness to help other creatives from all walks of life. Personally, one of my favorite videos of yours and it holds a lot of key Gems and substance. Keep on creating brother & I pray that continue to stay blessed & that you continue to prosper in all areas King!!
I love videos where you watch the whole video and the very best, the small emotion push or the most motivation you get is where all ends and you know: that was worth watching. Thank you man!
This video means a lot to me. Me who has just moved to a new country, lost and wondering how to pave my own way. Wondering how to channel my creativity. Thank you
The attention to detail in this video was incredible! I was hooked and didn't want it to end. Well done! 👏🏽
I'm retired, but it is refreshing to watch...but I'm picking up to be creative again!
I love how cinematic your videos are, the typography is beautiful, the audio, holy man this shit is beautiful. Thank you for making these videos bro, you're genuinely an amazing person.
You are too good man it’s truly insane how much work you put into this
You're honestly the biggest inspiration in the creative industry keep doing what you're doing man
Dude. You made me tear up genuinely, this is a fucking amazing video and such a beautiful and relieving thing to hear, you hit every note. This is perfection
I am so grateful to have found you because this video was the inspiration I needed to get out of my current rut - I appreciate you!
I needed this after my surgery, i felt i was left behind and everyone is progressing and it only created negative thoughts
i also just turned 30 and definitely needed this right now. HECK YA THANK YOU!!
This was freaking AMAZING. I was just looking for "filmmaking mindset" on the internet bc i'm struggling with my filmmaking job right now i'm not feeling as creative as i'd like to but this gave me such a mindset, creativiity, enterteinment dose that i think tomorrow is going to be completely different. So thanks so much for putting that effort on this video and showing what we really need to hear. Keep going
wow man, this is a great video. I'm 29 and turning 30 this year and I feel I'm still starting my journey
For real Karl, you make me feel grounded and inspired after every single video I watch from you. I can't put it into words but you help me feel like I'm on the right track in my creative endeavor that I choose for my life. That means sooo much to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤
this is INSANE and could not have uplaoded at a better time. Going through the exact same struggles with social media and I also hate birthdays.
This is the first video that I've watched in a very long time, where I've almost felt obligated to leave a comment it was so good. Karl, you're an inspiration to say the least. Thanks for being you and happy birthday brotha
Watching This on my 25th birthday.
Like this to remind me 5 years down that I decided to follow my dreams
You have no idea how greatly you have timed this video for me. I was so angry with myself because I was the only one who couldn't figure out my future in my friends group and I was so frustrated and lost, and this video came and it helped me with my own thoughts. Thank you so much for this and keep creating.
This is exactly what I neededdde karl thank you 😭😭😭😭
Dude the effort that went into filming all of this is overlooked🤯 you’re amazingly creative Karl!🤙🏼
every time i watch your videos i just feel understood and know that i am at the right point here and now. So so motivating and inspiring!!
Guys, I don’t know how many of you will relate to this but I feel a sense of pride. Every time I see a Karl’s new video because that will be my low-key flex down the line one year or two years later when this guy blasts on TH-cam that I been being watching him Since 50K till now….
Ooooooof. This is such an ego booster. Thankyou so much man.
I have some really bad videos back in 2018. Feels like I’ve already come some way
Bro I was looking at this video and I was thinking. Why the f I didn't knew this guy before... Amazing video bro🤘🏽
5:01 never seen such an unexpected and holy crap CLEAN Match Cut shooooo
This is probably the best video I've seen on TH-cam in years. Well done, thank you for making this. For sharing this for yourself, and speaking to all of us who need this reminder. It's wonderful.
another banger. you've really inspired me a lot with your content and I always drop everything to watch your new videos. I'm 30 myself and it's been a wild ride but i'm hoping 31 keeps an upwards trend going. cheers.
You are one of the few creators that i really enjoy to watch, keep the hard work, you are inspiring all of us, helping us stay true to ourselves.
transitions as always are impeccable. The handwriting to inverted scanned handwriting at 0:56 was tooooo clean
One way to switch from passively watching and learning is to make 2 TH-cam accounts, in fact this is my second account I use to learn things from. This works as it puts a divide in the mind and your recommendations show learning content.
Amazing moving video! Just the video I needed as a small creator, it gets tough out there but I practice a lot of the things you have mentioned but it is reassuring to hear! Thank you for creating a masterpiece, creating a emotionally moving video and putting yourself in the position of vulnerability, it just shows authenticity and I truly appreciate it man. thank ya karl
It's videos like these that always spark that insane inspiration that makes me restless. Love it!
That alone is the reason why I do this
My guy, every point, almost verbatim what's been filling my journals the last few months LOL. This isn't a TH-cam Video, it's a piece of art that transcends its context. I'm just starting out on my own journey and you are every bit the fount of inspiration that you practice receiving from others. Grateful for you sir.
THANK YOU for creating this and sharing it. I'm 33 and I feel perpetually stuck, but this made me feel more at ease. Also, beautiful transitions and audio!
Oh man, this video came out in the exact time for me... just wanted to thank you and also say that your videos are so underrated, you are so talented. Thanks for your videos but specially for this one. Hope the best for you man :)
Karl wtf. nah like wtaf??!! the transitions paired with the maintenance of sound quality ohmylorddd. SO GOOD.
Following you over the past 4 years has been such a roadmap for me. I'm graduating College in may and it's incredible to get the raw look at what your journey looked like after graduation. These insights into early Karl are my absolute favorite :)
Karl, bro I have appreciated your creativity for years💯💯the engagement and the constant learning is always next level💯✌🏽
I have been struggling with storytelling through videos. I can do it in my journaling but translating to video….I am lost. This is just my second video of yours that I have watched and I already feel like you have shown/told me enough in just those two videos of how to get started. Thank you! 👍🏾
Karl I wish you all the best.
Really, your growing mindset is amazing. Thanks
The quality of this video is INSANE!!!!
I love your style man. It’s so refreshing, visually articulate and all around just amazing - and so are you. Subscribed.
This has been probably my favorite creative video of all time... can't like it more.
What all creators need to hear! Great vid!
I never really comment on video’s I watch, but for this one I really had to make an exception. I really needed this video and I need to thank you for that. This felt so related and gave me motivation and peace.
I just turned 30 a few weeks ago so this really hit. Super inspired by you and your work!
Your videos for me like therapy. Thank you so much❤
Your videos are not a breath of fresh air. They're a mountain filled with the purest oxygen there is. Karl, truly thank you for being who you are and inspiring others. Blessed.
Ok............. I almost cry at this ending, I felt hugged
I rarely comment on videos but the way you put this all together with the shots, sound, editing, colors, script, etc. is so good
Brooo I’ve been having some of the same feelings! I turn 30 in October and it’s like where the heck did my 20s go, but it’s dope to have a moment to reflect on it and see what the next decade can bring
10k views ?? SHAME ON THE ALGORITHM , worth millions , definitely inspiring , keep it up Karl
Absolutely perfect timing for me. Thank you.
THANK YOU 4 EVERY OF YOUR VIDEOS!!!
Always love what you put out, Karl. This has inspired me to start waking up before the sun! Thanks.
The king of storytelling. Very well done man, im enjoying watching you.
I just love this guy! Thank you very much, Karl
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN!
Bro, tomorrow is my birthday, I realized a lot of things while trying to rise from the bottom and went to save myself by learning new techniques in editing, and the second video that I opened is this very video. This is just such a springboard, there are no words. You are wonderful! I wish all your dreams come true!)
omg Karl! this video just gave me a rush of creativity and new idea's, also really appreciate the effort into keeping your distinctive style that I love so much from you reals... great video!

You actually made me cry with this video, I just turned 20 a week ago, and i totally understand this. Keep it up bro, thank you for putting all the love in this video ❤️
This is amazing, can't believe it doesn't have more views! Very inspiring perspective, thank you. :)
I love the color grading on this! You’re not afraid to cut between two shots that have different temperatures within the same scene. Super inspiring editing and story overall 🫡
