That's what I was able to do. I was able to find many different ways of plugging it into aspects of conversation and like mission statement purposes. That was what made the idea great was when I found all of these things to plug into it to make it a great idea. But it's hard for me to start with an idea that I'm not confident in

And then we invite the listeners to submit content through that way. Hey, I found this ridiculous thing online, check it out as well as give additional thoughts and comment on it. And that kind of thing. Back in the early 2010s, I worked on a video web series, and that was awesome because there was so much collaboration necessary for that, from writing to story development to acting and just production and all that stuff

So I mean, I know I have to do it for a particular topic, but naturally I research by just listening to a bunch of YouTube while I'm at work or a grocery shopping or something like that. And I'll hear things that I like and I'll kind of keep a mental note of that, or I might put something down in the notes and then I could flow from there. But I like to feel like I'm more like a method actor

And I'll know, okay, maybe it wasn't as clever as I thought. So that part of it is a little more challenging. But it's also kind of the Crucible of creativity is putting yourself out there and realizing it's not always going to be what people are looking for. And that's okay. And then for the other website, it's more humorous but humorous commentary on actual news items. And that comes a lot more easy for me, because then the content is there

So I think sometimes I could struggle with being consistent when I don't see those results. But of course, everybody's not going to always respond to what you're doing right away because they got to get used to the structure. So there's the rub for me as a creator, but with story. Oh, of course you need structures. Oh, definitely. I don't know if you heard of Film Courage. It's like a YouTube channel

Obviously this can be an interesting talk with because structure is vital and necessary, and it is something most people probably would not suspect an artist needs in a way, or it could benefit art those who are artistic. It seems like it's such a gift that is given to those that are free, and they almost aren't bound by rules at all, which is what makes them great with the art. And I think that can happen every once in a while
