My thoughts on how people around the world like myself are enabled to have a larger audience today more than ever, even if internationally (as was eloquently said by Gary Vee in the TBA livestream).

Totally, I remember now, he said that it used to be a “social-based economy” now we can share knowledge and that can be the basis of a following, which is more what I’m doing imo. I have videos like these where I yap, but my MAIN goal is to educate as many people as I can.
