    Thanks for doing a podcast with Dan ! I have been a subscriber to him back when he had less than 5,000 subs. Just a cool dude who is very relatable . I’ve been watching your channels back when you were still travel feels . Been sitting in the background of TH-cam not starting a channel because of fear . I am now in my early 40’s and after watching this podcast I really think it’s time to pull the trigger and start posting vids . Matti keep hammering these podcasts out and vids on your main channel . Your viewership may dip here and there but the true followers are still checking in daily/weekly to watch your vids .

    Guys, this was an amazing podcast to listen to. Loved your honesty about the tik tok and all that and you made such interesting points. I’m 47 now and loving creating TH-cam videos. I’d give anything to go full time at it but the cost of living makes that difficult.

    Dan is awesome. I just started backpacking this year, and also a beginner in entrepreneur endeavors, and a pastor (though not doing TH-cam videos as of yet) and I’ve learned a lot from Dan. Hearing from behind the scenes on the entrepreneur angle was nice to see!

    Hey Matti, it would be epic if you guys could upload these podcasts to Spotify. I've just checked and no episodes are on. I so enjoy listening to you interview your epic guests when I'm doing home chores- literally, your episode with Chris has got me a meeting with my local tourism office- exciting times ahead :) I never knew I could aim to work with my city's tourism office and, although I don't have the gig yet, I've got a meeting which is more than I could have ever dreamed of. YAY! Thank you!

      @@mattihaapojapodcast cool thanks! I'm definitely sharing this episode. I know so many people who are 40 and above who would love to start a TH-cam channel. My mom has actually just started, she's in her early 50s and I feel there is so much room for millennials and boomers to groove in. The youths keep the platform nice and fresh, but the older generations on TH-cam are like lofi music. There's space for everyone to play and this episode is proof of that. Whoohoo!

    I feel this so much. Time is so hard with family and work. As the sole provider in my family it’s so hard to focus. I’ve spent the last 7 years trying to make my TH-cam but only really started my nee channel just before the start of covid which wiped my business out. So now I’m working part time while trying to make my yt. Trying to find my niche at the moment. Just thinking if I started way back when I uploaded my first video in 2007 where my channel would be and even when I decided to take it serious 7 years ago where my channel would be. Looking forward as a 40 year old it’s better to start now and grow over the next 5 years I’m not waiting any longer.

    Thanks for this podcast series. I myself started a small channel at the age of 43. I've actually gotten decent views. In my videos I speak Danish, but consider whether I should start in English instead, but can't figure out if it is best to start a separate channel for that. I do my TH-cam in my spare time...

    Can you do a full video on the main channel about the A/B Storyline? Im having a hard time coming up with what I want my channel to be about because I have a lot of interests but struggle to stick to a niche. Your podcast with Peter about this on this channel was great info on the topic but a full video on how you think about A/B Storyline + when you should have a second channel would be amazing.

    To start this is not trolling. I’m only making an observation on something that you commented about I’m not getting as many views as you used to a year ago. I feel based on watching all of your episodes that you’ve posted. You had a better chemistry with your brother and you seemed more relaxed and enjoyed yourself more. I get the impression watching your videos that you are not enjoying yourself like you used to I feel that the chemistry you have with me guy isn’t as strong And you seem to be annoyed in an arrogant sort of way that I’m not used to seeing. Plus Teppo Is an excellent video editor. There’s no comparison to his style of editing you might not notice a difference but I can see a difference from a year ago to now.
    Again I am not trolling your page I am just making an observation from an outside perspective something for you to think about.

    I wish I could go backpacking a lot more, but with gas prices as they are, it’s just very expensive to go anywhere besides close by, and and I would like to go several places I haven’t already been. How are you doing with traveling and what do you think about the expense of it? Is the current economy affecting this hobby? Just wondering
