struggling

hey everyone me Kevin here I just

realized a massive Paradox on my YouTube

channel and it's something I want to

share with you because it's created

quite a bit of a struggle for me but I I

think I have the solution I want to know

your opinion on it after I explain this

Paradox and it's wild it's something I

would have never expected so

back in the day people would always

leave comments to be like CAD then you

post like five videos a day you should

focus on quality over quantity and so

people regularly say that when they see

a lot of quantity and maybe don't

necessarily consider that it is possible

to have quality and quantity but forget

that for a moment instead consider this

what I realized over the last few weeks

of trying this thing out where I make

one video that has a good amount of

information but then has some nice

visual editing to it where it's got some

more b-roll or it's got some nice

overlays where we spend more time

editing it and then presenting maybe a

better uh put together video what I

actually found is the more time we spent

in editing the lower the

sort of newsiness of the video was which

to some extent actually lowered some of

the quality because the information was

delayed but it wasn't just that I

noticed when I was posting less videos I

actually would have to choose what

information to put in the video so I'm

putting out net less information

and on top of that what I'm putting out

less information I'm spending more time

explaining information to sort of a

broader audience to catch people up to

the same level of understanding where

maybe us regular viewers already are and

then that's redundant to the regular

viewers so there's this really weird

Paradox that I discovered on my para on

my channel where essentially if I post

fewer videos the visual quality might be

higher but the actual quality I think is

lower because you're getting less depth

and you're getting less timeliness so

you're getting later information with

less depth but it is more visually

appealing and then I realized what kind

of drove me in that direction was well

first of all those people leaving

comments like oh my gosh you post five

videos a day

quality over quantity but then also that

same sort of level of simplicity

finding myself affected by it seeing

these other YouTube content creators who

could make a video and kind of do the

the sit down

guys

you need to hustle

yeah and then all of a sudden they get

like a million views and it's like what

what did I just watch you spent like 10

minutes watching a video you're like

what the hell I learned absolutely

nothing except oh yeah man that guy's

cool and I'm gonna be a you know top G

what the hell so

I gotta realize I I'm I'm not gonna

cater to that audience I've I've got to

cater to people in my opinion who are

doctors attorneys and people who value

their time more so than somebody who has

a lot of time and every video they watch

they want in-depth new information I and

I think I'm resonating with my audience

and saying that most of you like Kevin I

want the Deep dive perspective I'm not

getting on CNBC or Bloomberg or fox or

CNN whatever we don't have to agree all

the time but I want

as quickly as possible the most valuable

information and if I choose to watch

more of your content then give me that

option

so I think I've

at the same time as discovering this

sort of meet Kevin Paradox I'm going to

call it which the meet Kevin Paradox is

the less I post

the less quality which is weird right so

in other words the more I post

it and if there's a limit to this

obviously if I post 100 videos a day the

quality is going to suffer again I think

it's like a bell curve right so the bell

curve is probably like three or four

videos a day is probably like top

quality and Top Value and then if I post

you know 10 videos a day that that

quality starts suffering again right

whereas I post one video a day or one

video every two days it's it's too

little so that's probably the meet Kevin

Paradox curve we're discovering this

together but the second thing is uh well

of course I have to respect my audience

as well and I I think I have a grasp so

correct me if I'm wrong but the other

thing that I've realized is I've

actually felt anxious again and this is

really weird because

when I've been doing the meet Kevin

report I had no anxiety it was great it

was like 90 days of no anxiety and now

that was really hard because it was

waking up at three or four a.m every

single day to provide for a one to two

hour live stream in the morning and and

try to get that content out uh and while

providing high quality value I'm always

thinking value per minute I've got to

respect the people who are watching you

know these aren't high schoolers with a

lot of time nothing against high

schoolers but these are people with

lives and children like get to the point

and so what's weird is when I was doing

the me Kevin report no anxiety before me

Kevin report anxiety after me Kevin

report anxiety so in other words I got I

I gotta flip-flop again I gotta go back

to the meet Kevin report and now I I

know that and I apologize for this you

know I I I know that I may it may seem

like I changed my mind a lot on the

channel because well I do and it may

seem like I'm inconsistent because well

lately I have been but it's because I'm

constantly trying to figure out

what's the right answer and there's

really no role model for me I'm trying

to figure this all out alone there's no

role model for house hack there's no

role model for a YouTuber with an ETF

there's no role model for somebody

making a an AI productivity course

rather than here are 10 tools to use

that'll make you more productive and

then you're like no they don't right so

like there's no there's no precedent for

this but there's also no precedent for

live streaming content and bringing this

deep dive financial analysis to YouTube

on a regular basis multiple times a day

and providing value that I I feel like

is as neutral as we possibly can be so

it's hard and I'm not trying to say like

woe is me like we all have hardships in

our lives but I think what we find is

the higher the level of uncertainty the

more we're likely to flip-flop and

change our minds right like when when

things are going great we're like

we got this on luck this is what we do

all day every day duh cause things are

going great but when things are fluid

and it and it flocks then of course

that's where change is required I think

as Kevin O'Leary told everyone in the

Kevin O'Leary interview it is a

requirement of someone in business to be

able to change your mind it's not an

option to be a flip-flopper it's a

requirement you have to be able to

change so this this me Kevin Paradox

that I realized just over the last few

days of sort of thinking and planning

for the AI course and starting to film

for the AI course which again is free

for the existing course members and you

can lock that in as well before June 1st

that's when we're going to release the

content we'll have another price

increase but all that side

I I think the best thing to do is go

back to the regular me Kevin report so

I'm going to try something and again I

might change my mind again but again

we're going to try it I'm gonna stop

worrying about

individual video views I'm going to

focus heavily on what can I do to make

sure I'm providing the best value

possible at the same time if I can maybe

minimize some of the drama in in the

titles I'm going to do that as well see

when you make one video the title's got

to be really dramatic because you want

all of the world to watch it because you

think you're providing the best value

but maybe if I post more videos maybe

they don't all need really exciting

titles so maybe we can scale that back a

little bit because I I want to be very

transparent with my audience it's not

easy figuring out exactly how to provide

the best value because I'll tell you if

I do a YouTube video title that's like a

fundamental analysis on palantir

nobody's going to click on it whereas

it's like penalty or two thirty dollars

oh

why right palantir two zero dollars why

and I hate you

right right so uh there is a balance

I'm going to try to balance all of these

things together in addition to balancing

all of this what I'd like to do is start

with the meet Kevin report again so

we'll bring it back to me Kevin report

for as long as I can I want to start

again 4 20 in the morning is when I'll

start and I'll stop around 6 15 so we'll

get about an hour 15 or sorry hour 50

hour to about two hours in and then

after the meet Kevin report we'll go to

the course member live stream so course

member live streams had a very

consistent start time but whether or not

we do this meet Kevin report has not

been very consistent so I'd like to do

that I'm going to bring it back this is

why we'll go back to some more videos

and I think this will be a fair

explanation for why because of the meet

Kevin Paradox I I don't know let me know

what you think and if you've got advice

on this I'd love to hear it I'm always

I want you to know this when it comes to
